    Idk who’s more excited about this channel, me or my hubby. I showed this to him yesterday and he said “heck yeah, finally…farmers with honey-do lists UNITE ✊🏼”
    🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Not that we women won’t be doing some of these things as well when need be, but I want to give a huge shout out to our men folk…we appreciate y’all and all the hard work y’all put in! I couldn’t do it without my own Sweet Beau 💯☺️

    Hello Miah, congratulations. I have learned so much from you over the years. I recently experienced an unexpected divorce (after 38 years of marriage, my husband informed me he wants to date). So, I will be doing a lot of building things myself, because I am starting a small urban farm here in California. I will keep watching and learning. I am an elementary school teacher, and Master Gardener. Yet, Miah, You are my "Master Teacher!" Happy Sunday to you, and your family, please tell Jess, "Hello from California. I Love tomatoes too!"

I've asked the Abundance community to hold a woodworking class for inexperienced, but want to build things. There's nothing like someone showing you how do things, but I need guidance to try to do it myself.

      Take a measurement from corner to corner diagonally lengthwise. Example, number your corners 1, 2, 3, and 4. The measurement from corners 1 to 3, should equal measurement from corners 2 to 4. If
      not, push in on 1 of the corners on the longer measured corners until both measurements equal each other. I know this answer is a year old, but I hope it still helps. Good luck in your garden.

They look fabulous around the greenhouse and the whole garden space is just amazing. Excellent job on all of it! Glad you're sharing your skills on your new channel. God bless! P.S.

    Hey Jeremiah, just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos! I’m ve been watching the R&R homesteading, but we are the least handy people you’ll ever meet and for any to start a homestead. This is super helpful and I have crushing on these beds since I saw Jess show them in the garden tours. Thanks to both of you for the inspiration!!!
