I watched a video on how to make a rocket stove. UA-cam then auto played one of your videos. It was so in depth I lost track of time. Ended up watching about 6 videos. Forgot all about rocket stoves I want to start a garden now.
Lol I just did the same thing. Have Good Friday off work... didn’t start laundry...didn’t go to the gym...didn’t get to the grocery store early... and loved every minute of watching Jess’s UA-cam’s!
LOL, me too! I don't how I stumbled into Roots and Refuge but so glad I did! Adorable homesteading family and Jess has the biggest crush on growing tomatoes! lol
Great video I use COFFEE filters to dry my seeds in as paper towels have a tendency to hold on to the seeds and make it hard to get them off, another thing I use is PARCHMENT PAPER, just a thought to share. Love your videos Jess!☺
Sharing with my wife, she is really getting into growing her plants from last year's seeds and might enjoy this. Her seeds started aprouting, and she was getting excited.
@@TheSleepyMisfit Me too ! Rainy days or down time in garden and this wonderful woman is so informative 👏 I'd like to know how she got her new place so large so fast! Happy gardening everyone!
I learned So much from you!! You’ve a nice voice that’s not preachy or ‘uppity’. You’re adorable too. So my first watch, was noticing all that. Second listen, I took notes. You don’t speak to fast and you are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ✌🏼🙏🏼🥰🌱🍂🌾
That's so funny you would say that about your first watch being watching how uppity she is and not preachy ... and has a nice voice. That's pretty much how I watched one of her video's the first time too. lol. Yup, she's great and lots of fantastic info!
You’re awesome! You’re probably one of the only UA-camrs that I can sit and watch a 30-60 minute video of. Thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing!I just got my order from Tradewinds fruit and I’m very happy with it. Thank you again!
Oops...I didn't know about the whole fermenting thing. When I didn't have any seeds this spring and everything shut down, I took some store bought cherry tomatoes and scraped the seeds into a fine mesh colander. I rinsed the goop off by rubbing the seeds against the strainer with my hands, then I put them on some paper towel and let them dry for a couple days. Then I planted them, shredded paper towel and all, and hoped for the best. To my surprise, they sprouted so it looks like I'm growing cherry tomatoes this year. Saved the seeds from a store bought bell pepper and now have little sprouted pepper plants. I think I'm hooked on saving seeds. ♥
I think this is the 3rd time I've watched this video, I keep coming back to refresh my knowledge from you all the time! Thank you so much Jess, this is super helpful 😍
I loved your video. I learned much. 100 yards to avoid cross contamination; mesh bags; fermenting seeds; drying them; harvesting herb blossom stems; insect damage doesn't harm seeds! All excellent. Thank you so much!
I just love your joyful and helpful energy and optimism. It brightens my day and I learn something along the way. My biggest dream besides becoming a mother (which has happened!) is having a huge and prosperous garden. The past two years we finally built a small garden that was not very productive. We are planning to move within the next year and one of my biggest priorities is not the house, but the land so that we can have the garden of my dreams. My grandmother would be so proud of me, God rest her soul!
Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!!!!!! I am basically capable of having my 1st big garden thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much love for you and your family!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe this is the first video where you say “I bless you til next time” I’ve been watching all the videos to find out the origin of that being your sign out phrase 🥰❤️😁
It's so crazy to see how much your life has changed in just 3 years. In this video you still have the old kitchen ..... WoW! Congratulations Jess for all you have accomplished. You are such a blessing to watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
my husband has been saving seeds for a very long time and now my grandsons come to him with seeds they have saved for him. too cute. Great video and now I can start appreciating his excitement for saving seeds.
YES GIRL. I can't tell you how many times I've looked for comprehensive seed saving videos and come up empty handed. You are a talented educator and I've learned so much from you the last couple months. Keep it up, sista!
This helped me tremendously! I will probably watch this video many times to make sure I'm saving my seeds correctly. Thank you so much for sharing. Much love.
Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge and experience, it not only will help each of us humans but in the long run, is helping our beautiful Mother Nature 🌱🌱 You have great speaking and presentation skills! 💕💕
What a great genuine person you seem. Thank you for this perfect video I needed to see. I have millions of seeds. It's overwhelming. They're EVERYWHERE! I have nightmares they've all sprouted over night and I can't get out of bed. Having a flash back just mentioning it. I'll be so glad I have these seeds taken care of and my anxiety will be relieved.
I came back to this thread to THANK YOU because I applied your seed saving advice, and dried some seeds. Then I became super curious to see if it worked, so I planted a couple, and they all sprouted! Thank you so very much for the help and encouragement.
When my wife saves tomato seeds she just puts the seeds on a paper towel and lets them dry.when planting we just put pieces of the paper towel that have a seed or two attached and plant them,paper towel and all...it works for us.
You are a Super teacher! Your instruction, sharing of information, degree of knowledge, & clear spoken use of words explaining the information & how to's is Most welcome & appreciated! Thank you!!
You are a vault of knowledge and I am so grateful that you are so willing to share that with all of us. My husband and I have been saving for a homestead while living in an 8 year old trailer we were given for free and your videos keep us focused on our goals. We’re hobby farming on a small scale right now and learning everything we can. Thank you so much for your transparency and honest account of what it’s like. May you continue to have an abundant life. Blessed be.
Best video on the internet!!! THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THIS SO WELL!!!!!!! I've had a ton of questions about seed saving and this video was so clear, so easy to understand, so well explained. Thank you!! Well done!
Thank you! You explained the process so well. I don’t want the video to end because you’re so thorough but I get so happy when I see your next video. Woo hoo!
Lol! I was listening to UA-cam with my screen off (like a podcast). When I heard your voice I ran across the kitchen to turn to screen back on. Thanks for all you do!
This is the fisrt time in my life I've got the opportunity to set up a vegetable garden. It is somewhat overwhealming, but your videos bring so much knowledge and clarity, thank you👍♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for your videos, you are an AMAZING educator and content creator, you know exactly what information is needed, very detailed but not redundant at all, and you know how to convey it, how much background info to give, etc. Plus you are a wonderful human being so it's a delight to learn from you :) Many blessings your way!
So good! My granny used to save cantaloupe seeds when I was little (& probably others). They’d be drying on the back screened-porch sill. Remember seeing them when we were sitting there eating watermelon. Looking forward to trying saving seeds this year, thanks to you! 💗
I learned a lot! I’m familiar with watching a video where one type of seed saving is demonstrated, but I enjoyed how you moved from one to another-without taking a breath. You filled the video with useful information, even when I got lost in the botany jargon, I somehow stuck with you and got caught up to speed. I just wanted you to know that this was very valuable to me and you’re a good teacher.
Getting ready to plant tomatoes in S. Florida sitting down watching this video drinking coffee taking notes for after the Harvest and how to collect seeds
Mine was, auto played & that's, how I found you. Really loved this video, so informative & encouraged me to save seeds from my vege garden. Thankyou so much
I love your videos. They are so informative and positive. You have such an encouraging attitude that I can't wait to try my hand at gardening this year. Thank you for all the information.
Jeremy S. Wifey found your channel... things are happening in our life where there is a very good chance we will be moving to rural west VA to help a buddy and his wife get a 90 acre farm off the ground. In the process, if this happens we (read I as wife doesnt want to be on video) will be chronicling it on youtube. This is a topic I've always been curious about and is a great resource!
Yup, how are we going to be able to find you on youtube..... after reading this comment....? Sounds like a fun time of getting a huge farm going. I'm jealous. Although my garden is 2400 sq ft.... big enough for us anyway. :)
Thanks for the interest guys. Things did work out. We lived in our class A motorhome on 250 avres helping a feiend get his farm started. Due to the large amount of work and super poor internet, I mainly updated instagram and Facebook @unplannedhomestead . I was unable to film and do editing etc as it was me and my friend, and his wife doing 95% of all the work. You can visit fb and insta to check out the year in review. We now live in missouri on 2.5 acres. So far posting has been home repair related as it was a nice foreclosure we picked up.
@@stillquestioning...6458 2400 sq feet. I'll be taking notes from you. Lol, We are in planning stage to get out raised beds done. Honeybees will be next yrs project.
Jess, you are imparting so much knowledge. I'm always looking forward to your next video. You have a very pleasing presentation to your audience. God's light is shining bright. Continued blessings!
Just found this video Jess. I love you. I only have a small backyard and I was concerned with cross pollination and I'm a lady that likes variety. Mega thanks for your info on the small mesh bags. What a blessing you are to me. I've just planted some fall seeds keeping good companions together. Just a few plants of each in one bed as there is only my son and me so we don't need much. This video was very interesting and educational and has helped heaps. Blessings Always
I am so very glad that I subscribed to your channel. My plants for my garden have barely even started to grow but I am now super excited about the entire cycle of growing and saving and learning. Here I was worried that I wouldn't find a video that would describe the process of saving the seeds from my plants and I have learned so much from this one video that I'm gonna have to watch it several more times when the time comes to save the seeds. Lol Thankyou so very much.
Jess what a wealth of knowledge you have and thank you sooooo much for sharing them with us. My husband and I have had a small garden for 40 years and we never thought of saving the seeds. Now that we are quarantined I am going to try to save our seeds. Thank you sweet lady!
Jess! You are such a wealth of knowledge on gardening. I have learned so very much from you, and can’t thank you enough. You are truly a gift to the gardening community. 💚
WOW!!! 🤩I have learned so much from watching your videos! You are amazing! In the planning process of my own homestead and I am getting so much great information from your channel! Bless you!
Hey Jess, thank you for this video, I watched it again, since I'm going to save some seeds of a courgette that was grown too big to eat, so I better refresh my mind ;) This was the video that led me to your channel somewhere in summer, and I am so glad to have found you. I learned a lot in the past months. You got me sowing: My saved seeds from years ago, now bear fruit: paprika! I love it! I bless you. Love from The Netherlands, Diana
I’m so thankful for your videos! You are helping others like myself realize ours dreams are doable! I cannot wait to get my garden going! I’m also obsessed with tomatoes and look forward to trying some heirlooms this year. Thank you so much for all of your videos!
I always put it this way: a fruit is the resulting growth - seed containing vessel - from a fertellized flower. A vegetable is an edible part of a plant that is not the former. :)
I'm so glad I found your channel. You have a very direct, yet thorough, way of explaining things, which I really appreciate. I learned more than I expected to from your video. Liked and subscribed. ~ Lisa
Love collecting my seeds. I've been doing this for years! I have so many already. Love planting everything from veggies, herbs to succulents. Thanks for sharing
This is so helpful & presented in such a clear and engaging way! So much better watching this video then trying to read about this stuff! Thank you so so much!
I really know very little about seed saving. This video was very helpful and encouraging . The explanation about heirloom and cross pollination very helpful too.
This is such a great video, FULL of so much useful information! Thank you so much for sharing you experience. You're so good at clearly explaining topics so a total newb like me feels like I could actually do this. God bless!
Ive been saving seeds for years and mostly to keep plants going in my garden but also just to have on hand in case I can't buy them next year. Seeds are stored in my pantry safe for the future. Thanks for sharing the tips on fermenting away the gel. I'm going to give that a go.
I am new to your channel and I love it!!!! Thank you for sharing this big part of your life, you are such a blessing with all your shared knowledge. Such a soothing sweet heart you have.God bless you and your beautiful family!!!!
So many good tips. From the last tour vid I learned of produce bags to hold melons on trellises. From this vid I learned about blossom bags. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Using these tips is going to make my gardening so much more enjoyable.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’m just at the beginning of my gardening journey and it gave me so much valuable information! Greetings from Ireland!
Hey Jess! Great video. 1. Plants have to be of the same Genus and the same species in order to cross pollinate. 2. Tomatoes with exerted stigmas are the ones that you need to put isolation bags on the flowers. Most heirloom tomatoes have inserted stigmas and you don't need to worry about these. Cucumbers can cross with other cucumbers but not with the Armenian cucumber because these are melons. 3. You can grow one each of the 4 species of squash in the same area and not worry about cross pollination. C.pepo ( most of the summer squash varieties and some pumpkin varieties) C. maxima mostly winter squash varieties. C. moschata (butternuts, Tahitian melon squash, Canada crookneck, Seminole Squash- which would be a great variety for you to grow as they flourish in hot, humid climates. C.mixta/C.argyrosperma which are mostly for stock feed and Fall decorations. These can cross but not in the garden with bee's. 4. Peppers are insect pollinated as well as self pollinated. Most of the plants that are wind pollinated are cereal grains, grasses and corn. Also the "gel pockets " in a tomato are called locules- Low Q els. I find in interesting that you mispronounce a lot of common names but you can pronounce "potager" with ease. I do really enjoy watching your videos. I have been gardening organically since the late 1970's. I have mostly used French intensive (double digging) to achieve raised beds. I am currently using no dig beds but still adding all the amendments that are associated with biodynamic practices. You might want to try this as it will cut down on a lot of the insect problems that you face. Anyway keep posting your great videos!
I threw away all the literature I had on growing a garden and subscribed to your channel.I even copied this video (How to Save Seeds of All Sorts | A Complete Guide to Garden Seed Saving | Frugal Gardening) just in case it's ever taken off . Thanks for the wonderful video and congratulations on such a great presentation.
I can not thank you enough for this episode. It had helped me in so many ways. I have searched for a seed company that I can trust for heirloom seeds. I am a new gardener from NC I only have 1 raised bed in my back yard. But I am going to be expanding it by next year. Love your channel keep up the great work and God bless.
How my gosh...I just watched this video...This is such a great educational video...I have learned so much from this video...makes seed saving not so scary. I've decided to start saving seeds this year, never considered it before because I didn't think I could do it but now I'm excited to try it!!! Thanks Jess!!
Saying thank you in 2024. Thanks for the knowledge!
I watched a video on how to make a rocket stove. UA-cam then auto played one of your videos. It was so in depth I lost track of time. Ended up watching about 6 videos. Forgot all about rocket stoves I want to start a garden now.

optimistic but realistic me too 😂😂
She naturally has that effect on people. She knows her stuff, she's thorough when explaining and she has a beautiful soul
Lol , do both ...,.....
Thank you for the laugh ...!

I use coffee filters on top of worm bed.
THE VERY FIRST "I BLESS YOU UNTIL NEXT TIME" ❤
Are we not going to talk about how adorable she is in addition to being unreasonably knowledgeable about a subject most people never even consider?
WOW. I'm "pushin'" 70 years old and I'm impressed with your knowledge. Excellent, PROFESSIONAL video. Thank you so much.
Sharing with my wife, she is really getting into growing her plants from last year's seeds and might enjoy this.
Her seeds started aprouting, and she was getting excited.
>>>>THAT'S ABOUT THE EXTENT OF MY KNOWLEDGE WHEN IT COMES TO SEED SAVING
This is literally the most educational gardening video that I have ever watched on UA-cam! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
I second that! Currently binge watching these videos 😆

Me too ! Rainy days or down time in garden and this wonderful woman is so informative 👏
I'd like to know how she got her new place so large so fast! Happy gardening everyone!
I agree…i thought she was very easy to listen to not all the fancy dancy big words. I got a lot of great info
I learned So much from you!! You’ve a nice voice that’s not preachy or ‘uppity’. You’re adorable too. So my first watch, was noticing all that.
Second listen, I took notes. You don’t speak to fast and you are a great teacher.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I am so impressed with the knowledge you are sharing. There’s so much quality info in each video.
This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing 💜
I so agree !!
You’re awesome! You’re probably one of the only UA-camrs that I can sit and watch a 30-60 minute video of. Thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing!I just got my order from Tradewinds fruit and I’m very happy with it. Thank you again!
I just use a coffee filter and a rubber band! I write on it the type and date
Thanks...good info
Good idea.. Coffee filters can be used for a lot of things..
Rene Mace great tip! Thanks 🙏🏻
Oops...I didn't know about the whole fermenting thing. When I didn't have any seeds this spring and everything shut down, I took some store bought cherry tomatoes and scraped the seeds into a fine mesh colander. I rinsed the goop off by rubbing the seeds against the strainer with my hands, then I put them on some paper towel and let them dry for a couple days. Then I planted them, shredded paper towel and all, and hoped for the best. To my surprise, they sprouted so it looks like I'm growing cherry tomatoes this year. Saved the seeds from a store bought bell pepper and now have little sprouted pepper plants. I think I'm hooked on saving seeds. ♥
This is literally the very first video of your's I ever watched. I watch it again every time I am going to save seeds. Thank you for sharing this!
I think this is the 3rd time I've watched this video, I keep coming back to refresh my knowledge from you all the time! Thank you so much Jess, this is super helpful 😍
I will be doing the same - being of a certain age (beginning with Sept.., Lol) when my memory is not what it was.
Haha the bag is basically a plant condom. I love it, learn something new every day! :)

Keepin' it simple! 👍😉
I was going to ask if that works. :P
I have done the paper towel....it worked for me
It makes sense because the paper towel would just break down into the soil anyway. That's a great tip on planting the seeds
That’s interesting that you say that , I’ve been saving like that since last year , I planned on just planting the whole sheet in pieces. 👍

Hey Jess, thank you for this video, I watched it again, since I'm going to save some seeds of a courgette that was grown too big to eat, so I better refresh my mind ;) This was the video that led me to your channel somewhere in summer, and I am so glad to have found you. I learned a lot in the past months. You got me sowing: My saved seeds from years ago, now bear fruit: paprika! I love it!
I bless you.
Love from The Netherlands,

I always put it this way: a fruit is the resulting growth - seed containing vessel - from a fertellized flower. A vegetable is an edible part of a plant that is not the former. :)
🌞 hank you for being a Teacher young lady.
My wife and I adore your videos! So interesting, insightful, & GENIUS botany advice! Thank you!!

Love collecting my seeds. I've been doing this for years! I have so many already. Love planting everything from veggies, herbs to succulents. Thanks for sharing
Where do you store your seeds? Pantry, fridge, freezer? I’m new to this and want to know what works best.
Man your eyes literally smiles.
This is so helpful & presented in such a clear and engaging way! So much better watching this video then trying to read about this stuff! Thank you so so much!
You are a great teacher. Thanks so much.
Well, this is the best clearest, simplest explanation I have ever heard! Thank you very much:)!!! I love saving seeds:)!!
I really know very little about seed saving. This video was very helpful and encouraging . The explanation about heirloom and cross pollination very helpful too.
Timely Info, People are wanting to grow their own! 🍅🍆🥒🌶🧄🧅
Thanks so much 🙏🏽💕
This is such a great video, FULL of so much useful information! Thank you so much for sharing you experience. You're so good at clearly explaining topics so a total newb like me feels like I could actually do this. God bless!
Ive been saving seeds for years and mostly to keep plants going in my garden but also just to have on hand in case I can't buy them next year. Seeds are stored in my pantry safe for the future. Thanks for sharing the tips on fermenting away the gel. I'm going to give that a go.
Thank you, for sharing what you've learned and what you do with us. 😁 May God bless and keep you and your family.
I am new to your channel and I love it!!!! Thank you for sharing this big part of your life, you are such a blessing with all your shared knowledge. Such a soothing sweet heart you have.God bless you and your beautiful family!!!!
So many good tips. From the last tour vid I learned of produce bags to hold melons on trellises. From this vid I learned about blossom bags. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Using these tips is going to make my gardening so much more enjoyable.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’m just at the beginning of my gardening journey and it gave me so much valuable information! Greetings from Ireland!
Just watching in 2022. So much great info. Thanks Jess, blessings to you also.
You are so much fun and your knowledge is incredible.🥑🍉🌶🍅TU for being there w/your know how!🙂
Hey Jess! Great video.
1. Plants have to be of the same Genus and the same species in order to cross pollinate.
2. Tomatoes with exerted stigmas are the ones that you need to put isolation bags on the flowers. Most heirloom tomatoes have inserted stigmas and you don't need to worry about these. Cucumbers can cross with other cucumbers but not with the Armenian cucumber because these are melons.
3. You can grow one each of the 4 species of squash in the same area and not worry about cross pollination. C.pepo ( most of the summer squash varieties and some pumpkin varieties) C. maxima mostly winter squash varieties. C. moschata (butternuts, Tahitian melon squash, Canada crookneck, Seminole Squash- which would be a great variety for you to grow as they flourish in hot, humid climates. C.mixta/C.argyrosperma which are mostly for stock feed and Fall decorations. These can cross but not in the garden with bee's.
4. Peppers are insect pollinated as well as self pollinated.
Most of the plants that are wind pollinated are cereal grains, grasses and corn.
Also the "gel pockets " in a tomato are called locules- Low Q els.
I find in interesting that you mispronounce a lot of common names but you can pronounce "potager" with ease. I do really enjoy watching your videos. I have been gardening organically since the late 1970's. I have mostly used French intensive (double digging) to achieve raised beds. I am currently using no dig beds but still adding all the amendments that are associated with biodynamic practices.
You might want to try this as it will cut down on a lot of the insect problems that you face. Anyway keep posting your great videos!
I threw away all the literature I had on growing a garden and subscribed to your channel.I even copied this video (How to Save Seeds of All Sorts | A Complete Guide to Garden Seed Saving | Frugal Gardening) just in case it's ever taken off . Thanks for the wonderful video and congratulations on such a great presentation.
I can not thank you enough for this episode. It had helped me in so many ways. I have searched for a seed company that I can trust for heirloom seeds. I am a new gardener from NC I only have 1 raised bed in my back yard. But I am going to be expanding it by next year. Love your channel keep up the great work and God bless.
How my gosh...I just watched this video...This is such a great educational video...I have learned so much from this video...makes seed saving not so scary. I've decided to start saving seeds this year, never considered it before because I didn't think I could do it but now I'm excited to try it!!! Thanks Jess!!
