You were inspired to share these words of strength, courage, and trust. Your message was so timely and truly touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your sweet spirit. 💗
So true! For me, fear is the opposite of faith. Even knowing that, we all get our faith tested with fear sometimes. We just have to keep moving forward in faith. We'll get there eventually. ❤ Great inspirational video. I found y'all when Aunt Judy suggested it during her recent Petals video event. I'm glad I did!
Girl, I am right there with you, especially the part of not going back to the same spot where I saw a snake. Last year, I did not see one snake in my yard. I hope and pray that this year is the same.
Tracie I am praying God protects you , your family and your animals are protected from snakes / spiders and ticks . I pray this for my family and loved ones . My Mom had a snake issue in her chicken yard. As long as she kept moth balls and yellow sulfur around the yard she did not see snakes . She said it really works as they hate the smell. I pray the heat will not be as bad as they say / they said last fall we were going to have an unusually cold winter / we did not .
Hey 👋 sweet Tracy ❤ What a power message you gave to so many people who have natural fears....you are so right on about fears ❤ Thank you so much for sharing his word .you're a wonderful woman who walks with Jesus and shares his teaching ❤️ I pray 🙏 that you and Gene have a great harvest of honey 🍯 Your garden is looking beautiful ❤❤ And I couldn't be happier that you started your channel 😊 Much love from Toledo OH ♥️😘✝️🙏🤟🫶✌️
Tracie, I lifted up a pot I was growing rosemary in, carried to the spot I wanted to plant it in the ground. I dumped it out of the pot and hit the roots a couple of times to loosen them up and small snake fell out. I had that snake cut into pieces before I knew what I was doing. Scared me so bad. Never thought of a snake being in the roots. :) We’ve had at least 3 this year two big ones. Don’t know and don’t care what kind they were. As long as they stay out of our yard they’ll be fine. I understand your fear.
Thank you for sharing! Spiders are nerve racking for me. Last year webs everywhere. This year it has started. I have a military friend that say spiders are migrating from Africia and the count will double this year strongly in the South. I PRAY HE IS WRONG. He said insects are going to be crazy. All this rain everyone is getting does not help.
Girl, I’m scared of snakes too! I do not like them either! I’ve been using the invisible fencing (barrier all?) stuff and it works really good. Hugs and love you, never give up! From Texas!
Well I want to tell you your videos are wonderful your videos and cog hill farm are my favorite so keep doing what you’re doing honey and you’ll be fine ♥️🤗♥️♥️🙏🏻♥️
I can relate to your fear of snakes. I have had two surprise me recently and could not go back out for a day. But i prayed about it looked up bible verses relating to fear...it has helped me so much. Dont get me wrong I am still very cautious and scared but I am getting back out there doing what I need to do. I heard that mothballs help I am trying it. God Bless
Tracie, your gardens are amazing, I don't care for snakes either, we put moth balls around where we don't want them and it has worked very well. I appreciate that y'all put God in your videos. I'm glad that I found your channel.
Tracie, I believe there is nothing that you can not do. I look around your garden and see the beauty. I know that God is good. Through God, you can do all things, that is his word. I also see the creativity that you're gifted with. Continue your journey wherever it leads. You and always know as you know now they god Is always on your side!
Have you looked up getting some snake repellent? It looks like Bonide makes some. Maybe wear like hiking boots when you work out in your gardens. Supposedly snakes do not like the smell of onions, garlic, and lemongrass, maybe grow some in your greenhouse.
Father please get your creations and let Tracie enjoy her garden. Girl I would have packed up and started fresh away from water. Lord protect your daughter.
Oh thank you 🙏so much for another wonderful and interesting video you are such an inspiration and your garden is ❤❤luv Debbie a very happy subscriber 💐💐
Tracie! I am right there with you.. I have sprinkled “snake away” around my barn. And oh my I hope I don’t jinx it. But I have not seen one of those devils( that’s what I call them too) since last Soring.
I am with you on the snakes sister❣️ I fear clowns n losing loved ones I lost my husband 6 years ago n have been devastated ever since. The garden is flourishing n your harvest will truly be bountiful. Idea for garlic you can make garlic pucks n keep them in a freezer bag. Just chop it or mince it scoop on to tray lined with parchment flash freeze then store in Ziploc. And voila you will always have ready to go garlic🧄 God bless you n keep you 🙏🏼❣️👨🏼🌾
Oh my heart stopped when you picked up the hose. It looked like a snake. 😂 I had a real fear of spiders but over the years I have learned to manage my fear. ❤❤
My fears are heights and ticks. We have an abundance of deer ticks. What sis the length of the cattle panel used to make the walk through trellis, Tracy?
I've been buying freeze dried garlic as I don't seem to go through it fast enough and it goes bad on me. I like it. Seems to work real well in soups and strews etc. You might like to try doing that.
You are not alone!!! I really loved how you put scriptures up while you were talking about your fear as I have the same fear in my garden and I needed these scriptures. We have a blunt ended shovel that I can carry with me and it has been used. I will be praying for you❤
Fear of water, fear of failure, fear of what other people think. Though I think that last one is no longer bothering me as much as it used to. I just don't have the energy to care anymore. 🤔😉🤷♀️ My videos are still not as good as I would like them to be. I am still looking for a local mentor to teach me proper video editing. Until then, I just make short clips and string them together. It takes me a while and is currently the best I know how to do. 🤔😉🤷♀️ I do like that our weather is warming up enough now to put seeds and plants in the ground. I'm hoping to get the pumpkin patch ready this weekend! Got to get the pumpkins planted for my grandkids! 💖💖💖
My biggest fear is Auto accidents. My Two sisters were killed in an auto accident in 1978 they were 18 and 20. My daughter 31 died from an auto accident. I was a School bus driver for 20 years and had to take the shoulder off the road several times to keep from being hit head on. Every time my wife and grandchildren go anywhere I have them call me when they arrive. I fear to get that horrible phone call. Thanks for sharing
I love the encouragement. God lead me to your channel several years ago because you speak to my heart. Almost like a sister. I share the exact same fears and now im afraid of the weather. Anytime we get a severe weather alert i begin praying for protection from damage. March 16th we suffered with unimaginable hail that destroyed everything. Hail so big that all my life I've never seen here before. I was scared to death. Our home, our vehicles, and all my garden was destroyed but the garden has bounced back and its my place i go and feel renewed and strengthend. Its been therapeutic for me and a way i can escape from all my worrying. We still have a tore up house two months later but i know it will get fixed eventually. I pray! Thank you Tracy you are such a wonderful person and a blessing, its your channel that connects people to like minded people. God bless ❤
God gave us tools to face fears. Ephesians talks about the armor of God. You are so wonderful and brave. What if you got a stick with a poker or tongs on end for you to use as a tool for protection. I pray your pup comes back as he would protect or warn you about snakes. Excited for herb session and new recipes to use them. Growing harvest preserve and use. Thank you for being so brave and spreading the Lords message!!!
Tracy, you worry me wearing those sandals in the gardens! Maybe some shoes with more protection!! I am afraid of snakes too and see them in my yard and porch and under the steps!! I had a rat snakes in my house twice!! Slithered on the deck through back door!!
Love watching your videos. Hope you are feeling better. . I had to get a snake out of my chicken coup the other day. It goes in there and eats eggs which it was doing I picked it up with a hoe with 4 tines and took it across the street and threw it in the woods. It was a black rat snake. Haven't seen it since. Anyway, have you been checking lost and found dogs North Carolina, or pawboost?. I saw 2 dogs on North Carolina One was yellow lab and the other was a lab mix. The lab mix was recently adopted out.
We all are afraid, but you have to keep moving. Moth balls around your green house works. Also snake away works, but try the moth balls. Lo e you sweet friend.
My neighborswear that mothballs keeps snakes away as they where around herapartment an putthem out an hasnot seen any .Worth a try.I have no family to speak of my hardest was my losing my husband .Hurt losing my dad mom grandma anbrothers .But mt soul mate left me with half ofme gonebut praise God he is at rest an some day soon we willbe together again. I have bo fear of being perfect at any thing Know I am not apt to be but Know who is and he helps be better each day. And your videos are good I learn a lot from you an just enjot what you put out there.
Your fear of snakes gave me the heeby geebies. I can’t stand them either. I have lost my husband to dementia. The hardest thing I have ever done was to put him into a memory care facility. God has given me strength to cope with this loss. He is there physically but not mentally. Thankfully I can visit him whenever I want. I am so so glad you started your u-tube channel. I have enjoyed learning from you. I love my garden but it is so much smaller than yours. Your knowledge has really been a blessing to me. I love watching you and Gene (also my brothers name). I have lost my parents and my brother and my sister but I will see all of them in heaven one day.
You should try to make garlic with a little bit of olive oil ,blend it up together then put them in ice trays and freeze them. When frozen put in freezer bags And whenever you need garlic pull out a cube and use it.
Wear tall rubber farm boots, or snake chaps, carry a sharp hoe, use the hoe to move leaves around plants and wear gloves. Maybe let some geese, big chickens roam with you. My dog took care of the snakes. The pig weed took the insect hit it looks like. Make lots of noise, rattle things rock out with music, just suggestions, no idea if it will help. Ask an Aussie fans what to do?
Tracie, you are in the same place I am. As you know, I am legally blind with a progressive eye disease. There is definitely a fear about snakes, wasp nests, falling, etc when I work outside in my gardens. I refuse to give up or give in. The Lord sees me! He knows me! Like you, my gardens are my sanctuary and where I find peace, where I talk to the Lord, and all good things. I also quilt and pressure can my produce. I will be as good as I can as long as I can! Don’t let the enemy rob you of your peace. There is a healthy fear which I think we should have to be careful but this fear the enemy gives, I refuse!! I refuse it for you!! It is legitimate though. Like you said, we all have fear. It definitely can be paralyzing. We can do this sweet online friend. Happy gardening. Let’s just hold each other up and enjoy the sunshine and all Gods blessings! 👩🌾💚🫛🌻🌹🥕🥬💙
Do garlic and honey. Great for the cold and flu season. Or just everyday immune system. Search it online where you find your trustworthy herbal medicine. 😊 Love you Ms Tracy. Your garden looks amazing. I’m just now getting tomatoes and peppers in mine. I’m in Central PA!
HE promises to never leave us or forsake us when we are His child through faith. Also, when I was younger there was the expression, "Put your big girl panties on and do it."
There are a few things you can do to "arm" yourself that may help your fear level. Wear gloves when picking items in the garden. Carry a long stick when waking around the farm. Wear long pants and shoes (when you can and the hot Alabama weather permits. I live in Texas, so I understand when you can't.). These few things might help. God's blessings. 🙏🥰❤
You and me are a lot alike. I always work so hard to do my best. Look into everything to deep. I have not done a lot of things because I talked myself out of. And I did the same thing as you with the youtube channel. It's been 2 full years in June and I've only have 500 and some subs. It's hard, and I think no one wants to see or hear from this old gramma. I every day think about quiting. But I just keep going, because I want this to work so I can retire early to really start enjoying my like instead of working my life away. Thank you so much for what you've said in this video and for all the scriptures.
I can’t abide snakes! I put out mothballs. I take a gallon milk jug and place about one inch of sand in the bottom then add a little water about an inch above the sand, place several mothballs in the jug. Put the top back on the jug and cut 3 or 4 V shape slits around the top for vents. I place them around my house outside, and in my shed. I haven’t seen any mice or snakes or come to think of it deer, for about 6 months now. We had a black snake around for years, I had to get us to sharing my space with him because I knew he eat the vinous snakes. Every time I ran across him he was ways watching me. He would run off if I made eye contact with him. He’s gone now and I hate to say I miss him a little. 🐍
Our mind is our most powerful tool. It will defeat you without you even getting out of the chair! Or it can push you through anything with all the odds against you!
Beautiful Words💖 On your garlic - put peeled cl then scoop with a Tbl spoon cookie scoop place on parchment paper on cookie sheet place in freezer - now you have 1 Tbl spoon chopped garlic pucks place them in a zippy bag and grab one out when you need it😊
You tell that armadillo to eat those snakes if it's going to hang around. Your garden looks great this year. My daughter and I are leaving Monday to go to Orange Beach and Pensacola. I can't wait.
Garlic - I think you should work with Cog Hill to freeze dry some - works great I have a huge fear of snakes and don't think I could live in Alabama as it seems that you guys have alot. Question, do you grow ginger and tumeric? if so, do you have any tips. Thanks, love your videos
Hi Tracie! This is Tracey. I just love watching your videos and I never miss one. You are a kindred spirit to me with you love of all things gardening and farming. You have such great ideas that I do copy. Thank you! But I so appreciate you and Gene for sharing your faith and letting God show you and lead you in the things He has for you. Bless you for what you do and bless your family for sharing in your dreams. I too also have a fear of snakes. My mowing lines often look crazy when I chase down a snake while mowing around our pond. I learn so much from you. Thank you so so much!!!
I have snake leggings when I have to go where snakes are possible on my property.. it gives you courage!! hahaha naa just a little more peace of mind.. and don't sneak around make noise.. let them know you are coming most will go the other way.. (moccasin being the exception)
I don't like spiders or snakes!!! I loke to crush and freeze my garlic in little cubes!!! I learned that from Trader Joe's!!! It lastes all year!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I’m a fan of non venomous snakes but like moccasins, rattlers etc. I’m not okay with either! I used to have those same worries in the garden when we lived in Florida. Not to mention I had a gator chase me one day when I went to turn my hose on! 😅 it’s one of those things you have to file in the back of your mind and know they “might” be there but just be cautious and keep moving along. Do you have any building happening around you? I always noticed when construction was happening the snakes were definitely being moved in because they were being displaced. I wonder if there’s a way to attract black rat snakes? I’ve read that they keep the bad snakes away.
So proud of you for combating your fear and doing what you love! We, too, have an abundance of snakes here in Central Florida as we're quite near the water and deep swampy woods. We see snakes almost daily, and like you, they terrify me. But, in order to do my gardening and enjoy the outdoors, I have to press on. Your garden and flowers are looking incredible! A true tribute to all of your hard work ❤❤❤❤❤
I hate snakes!!! I’ve learned to deal and not freak out with black snakes but copperheads we have here I’m soo scared of..water moccasins,rattlesnakes,copperheads ect I just can’t!! I’m soo afraid my 5 lb dog will come up on one in the yard and want to play..and baby snakes r the worse cause they release all their venom at one time..stay safe!!! A year old already?seems like u were just grandparents!!..love u Tracey!!!🩷
I'm so happy that you're not letting fear stop you! Did you know this fun fact... The Bible says fear not 365 times. One fear not to cover each day of the year! Also I'm in awe of how you can go into the garden with a cute white outfit, and stay so clean😮 it seems like I can touch the garden with my little finger, and come out a mess😂
Please traci...annoint your property...all four corners..ask specifically for protection...on that matter..plus get more cats..they hate cats...snakes that is...lu from idaho..I have same fear
I agree that fear is the weapon of evil... also, courage doesn't mean you're not frightened, it just means that you're strong enough to do what you need to do, anyway. Congratulations for taking the step to face your fears!!!! BTW, my husband installed an irrigation system with black pipe, like yours.. every once in a while, I'd glimpse it out of the corner of my eye and think 'snake'... fortunately, I never chopped a line in two with the machete I generally had nearby... I did rename his irrigation system the irritation system, though... had quite the love/hate relationship with it.... the current one is black pipe, but buried.
I love you!!!! Thank you
You were inspired to share these words of strength, courage, and trust. Your message was so timely and truly touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your sweet spirit. 💗
Thanks for sharing. I understand
Thank you for talking about fear. 😊

Hi Tracie, sending you and your family many prayers.
Tracie I am praying God protects you , your family and your animals are protected from snakes / spiders and ticks . I pray this for my family and loved ones . My Mom had a snake issue in her chicken yard. As long as she kept moth balls and yellow sulfur around the yard she did not see snakes . She said it really works as they hate the smell. I pray the heat will not be as bad as they say / they said last fall we were going to have an unusually cold winter / we did not .
Hey 👋 sweet Tracy ❤ What a power message you gave to so many people who have natural fears....you are so right on about fears ❤ Thank you so much for sharing his word .you're a wonderful woman who walks with Jesus and shares his teaching ❤️
I pray 🙏 that you and Gene have a great harvest of honey 🍯 Your garden is looking beautiful ❤❤ And I couldn't be happier that you started your channel 😊
Much love from Toledo OH ♥️😘✝️🙏🤟🫶✌️
You should do some fermented garlic and honey.
Fermented garlic in honey. Great for a natural cold remedy. Lasts for a long time and quite tasty.
So good! Thanks!

Girl, I’m scared of snakes too! I do not like them either! I’ve been using the invisible fencing (barrier all?) stuff and it works really good. Hugs and love you, never give up! From Texas!
I grind my garlic, cover it with vodka and freeze it. It is wonderful for cooking. I usually have several jars. 🥰
Yes, ma’am… pray, pray, pray!
TRACY, I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I freeze my garlic after I peel them in individual cloves for 6-9 months ~ no problem
I use honey and garlic medicinally and/or honey, garlic and turmeric.

Did you find your dog?! They tend to keep snakes at bay. May need to get another one 😖
Do garlic and honey. Great for the cold and flu season. Or just everyday immune system. Search it online where you find your trustworthy herbal medicine. 😊 Love you Ms Tracy. Your garden looks amazing. I’m just now getting tomatoes and peppers in mine. I’m in Central PA!
HE promises to never leave us or forsake us when we are His child through faith. Also, when I was younger there was the expression, "Put your big girl panties on and do it."
There are a few things you can do to "arm" yourself that may help your fear level. Wear gloves when picking items in the garden. Carry a long stick when waking around the farm. Wear long pants and shoes (when you can and the hot Alabama weather permits. I live in Texas, so I understand when you can't.). These few things might help. God's blessings. 🙏🥰❤
Garlic cloves in honey! Boosts immune system
You and me are a lot alike. I always work so hard to do my best. Look into everything to deep. I have not done a lot of things because I talked myself out of. And I did the same thing as you with the youtube channel. It's been 2 full years in June and I've only have 500 and some subs. It's hard, and I think no one wants to see or hear from this old gramma. I every day think about quiting. But I just keep going, because I want this to work so I can retire early to really start enjoying my like instead of working my life away. Thank you so much for what you've said in this video and for all the scriptures.
I can’t abide snakes! I put out mothballs. I take a gallon milk jug and place about one inch of sand in the bottom then add a little water about an inch above the sand, place several mothballs in the jug. Put the top back on the jug and cut 3 or 4 V shape slits around the top for vents. I place them around my house outside, and in my shed. I haven’t seen any mice or snakes or come to think of it deer, for about 6 months now. We had a black snake around for years, I had to get us to sharing my space with him because I knew he eat the vinous snakes. Every time I ran across him he was ways watching me. He would run off if I made eye contact with him. He’s gone now and I hate to say I miss him a little. 🐍
God has not given you a Spirit of Fear. I declare and decree the Holy Spirit will settle down on you. ❤
Thank you!
Our mind is our most powerful tool. It will defeat you without you even getting out of the chair! Or it can push you through anything with all the odds against you!
Boy oh boy can I relate! I’m on 8.4 acres wooded and with a pond and have seen several water moccasins. I’ve also had a lifetime fear of heights
Tracy what about getting out side cats? They will kill and keep snakes and rats away. Check with Brooke I think they keeps cats in different places.
Beautiful Words💖 On your garlic - put peeled cl then scoop with a Tbl spoon cookie scoop place on parchment paper on cookie sheet place in freezer - now you have 1 Tbl spoon chopped garlic pucks place them in a zippy bag and grab one out when you need it😊
Wow!! I don’t know what happened I reread before posting🤪 anyways peeled cloves into food processor to chop up then scoop….

How about Garlic in honey.
You tell that armadillo to eat those snakes if it's going to hang around. Your garden looks great this year. My daughter and I are leaving Monday to go to Orange Beach and Pensacola. I can't wait.
Have a great trip!
Garlic - I think you should work with Cog Hill to freeze dry some - works great
I have a huge fear of snakes and don't think I could live in Alabama as it seems that you guys have alot.
Question, do you grow ginger and tumeric? if so, do you have any tips.
Thanks, love your videos
Yikes!!! I’m not a fan of snakes, i don’t care about good or bad snakes either!
I’m with you, Tracy… huge fear of them!!
I am scared of them too!! May get snake boots? We have copperheads, ugh
Eeeek!
Hi Tracie! This is Tracey. I just love watching your videos and I never miss one. You are a kindred spirit to me with you love of all things gardening and farming. You have such great ideas that I do copy. Thank you! But I so appreciate you and Gene for sharing your faith and letting God show you and lead you in the things He has for you. Bless you for what you do and bless your family for sharing in your dreams. I too also have a fear of snakes. My mowing lines often look crazy when I chase down a snake while mowing around our pond. I learn so much from you. Thank you so so much!!!

My 1st year to do Garlic. I planted the elephant Garlic from Hoss. How do I know when it's ready to pull. I'm in Oklahoma. They have not bloomed yet.
I have snake leggings when I have to go where snakes are possible on my property.. it gives you courage!! hahaha naa just a little more peace of mind.. and don't sneak around make noise.. let them know you are coming most will go the other way.. (moccasin being the exception)
I don't like spiders or snakes!!! I loke to crush and freeze my garlic in little cubes!!! I learned that from Trader Joe's!!! It lastes all year!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I’m a fan of non venomous snakes but like moccasins, rattlers etc. I’m not okay with either! I used to have those same worries in the garden when we lived in Florida. Not to mention I had a gator chase me one day when I went to turn my hose on! 😅 it’s one of those things you have to file in the back of your mind and know they “might” be there but just be cautious and keep moving along. Do you have any building happening around you? I always noticed when construction was happening the snakes were definitely being moved in because they were being displaced. I wonder if there’s a way to attract black rat snakes? I’ve read that they keep the bad snakes away.
So proud of you for combating your fear and doing what you love! We, too, have an abundance of snakes here in Central Florida as we're quite near the water and deep swampy woods. We see snakes almost daily, and like you, they terrify me. But, in order to do my gardening and enjoy the outdoors, I have to press on. Your garden and flowers are looking incredible! A true tribute to all of your hard work ❤❤❤❤❤

I have a pond and have seen several water moccasins
Eeeeek
I hate snakes!!! I’ve learned to deal and not freak out with black snakes but copperheads we have here I’m soo scared of..water moccasins,rattlesnakes,copperheads ect I just can’t!! I’m soo afraid my 5 lb dog will come up on one in the yard and want to play..and baby snakes r the worse cause they release all their venom at one time..stay safe!!! A year old already?seems like u were just grandparents!!..love u Tracey!!!🩷
I'm so happy that you're not letting fear stop you! Did you know this fun fact...
The Bible says fear not 365 times. One fear not to cover each day of the year!
Also I'm in awe of how you can go into the garden with a cute white outfit, and stay so clean😮 it seems like I can touch the garden with my little finger, and come out a mess😂
Instead of your sandals choose your boots to protect yourself
Freeze dryer?
Please traci...annoint your property...all four corners..ask specifically for protection...on that matter..plus get more cats..they hate cats...snakes that is...lu from idaho..I have same fear
Creek= snake, please be carefully. I hate snake.
I agree that fear is the weapon of evil... also, courage doesn't mean you're not frightened, it just means that you're strong enough to do what you need to do, anyway. Congratulations for taking the step to face your fears!!!!
BTW, my husband installed an irrigation system with black pipe, like yours.. every once in a while, I'd glimpse it out of the corner of my eye and think 'snake'... fortunately, I never chopped a line in two with the machete I generally had nearby... I did rename his irrigation system the irritation system, though... had quite the love/hate relationship with it.... the current one is black pipe, but buried.
