    You along with Kevin from Epic Gardening have inspired me to start making use of my apartment waiting room this spring! I filled a greenstalk with leafy greens, root veggies and snap peas. Also doing grow bags with potatoes and started some tomatoes, peppers, and flowers from seed inside. I'm sure I will learn a lot this first year and appreciate all your content. Your book is gorgeous! Love having a quick reference with inspiration and all your lovely tips! Thanks for being awesome!

    How refreshing to hear someone be so honest and say I have these things I even created a book but you don’t need it to be successful. Your channel is the reason I started growing. Knowing nothing about gardening I have completely fallen in love. I found the thing that i feel that says it’s me. I play so many roles as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend we forget who and what we want. The information you give is invaluable and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m good at a lot of things but this... this thing called gardening is a passion. My passion. Thanks Jess. 🙏

      Manicure- Soaking my hands in a bowl of hot water with dawn helps cut the dirt and soften the cuticles. I clean up my nails and then I use dashing diva gel nail polish strips. Those strips last me nearly two weeks even with heavy duty weeding and planting/ animal tending. They still look great at day 10 and just starting to need replacing by 14. 💕

      Neutragena Hydro Boost Sunscreen is my absolute favorite. It doesn’t feel like sunscreen, it feels like lotion, and you can usually find it at Costco for a good price. It comes in a blue bottle. And for my face I use Elta MD, I buy it on Amazon. Again, doesn’t feel like sunscreen just feels like moisturizer. It’s a little bit more pricey, but I find that the cheap stuff doesn’t feel good, and if it doesn’t feel good I won’t use it like I should.

They're a part of your family. I saw a T-shirt recently with a stick person and a dog. It Said "I want to be the person my dog thinks I am". They're so devoted and enrich our lives don't they.

    The book is a must have! It's informative, encouraging, and beautiful. Best of all, it's a little piece of Jess, in your gardening world.
    As a lifelong gardener in my mid-sixties, I found Jess' book, a joy to hold in my hands and read. My niece is getting one for Mother's Day.
    Thank you, Jess, for putting your heart and soul into a gardening tool that will stand the test of time.

    My Barebones Hori Hori is one of my absolute favorite gardening tools. Super well made and definitely worth the money. It will dig out rocks, cut though roots, and slice right through sod with ease. If you're thinking about purchasing one spend the money on the Barebones Hori Hori. It will hold up and last a very long time.

    I was JUST today looking at the Roo aprons. Maybe....
    But I DO love my hori hori and the GreenStalks ❤
