Don’t underestimate the value your late season garden tours provide for us how live in northern climes!! We had snow here this past week and our garden has been “put to bed” for the season for quite some time now. I like the break but never stop dreaming of next seasons garden. It’s so nice to see your garden.
I finally finished reading your book and I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. I'm a recent widow of 13 months and live on a very small retirement check but finally saved up enough to get it. Have you thought of compiling your recipes into a cookbook? After all these years of people saying how good my home cooking, baking and my catering business was I've decided to try and give my hand at doing mine and my late mother's (1994) recipes. She was an excellent cook and baker and when us kids went into school she got a job at the school cafeteria until my father retired. She started teaching me how to cook at the age of seven and I had to stand on a chair 🪑 to reach the stove top 🤣🤣. I remember all of those memories.
I love that you tried growing cut flowers with the intention of bringing bouquets to the market, but then later realized cutting them down made you sad and that you actually really just wanted to be surrounded by beautiful flowers. You do have a real eye for beauty, your garden tours are so magical every single time. Thank you for sharing all that you do~
Love ya lady. This year and your pause moments made me realize how much we had been treating our current home like a pass through zone because what we truly want God to give us is a small farm. We run the church garden ministry to feed our community healthy foods and we had spent the whole summer treating our house very much like a hotel in certain areas. It’s made us dedicate to a happy and well functioning home for everyone, figuring strategies for next year, and dedicating to living each phase of life like the blessing it is. Thanks Jess and Jeremiah
I lived on Maui and awapui Ginger has a distinct flower. I would look it up if you have a concern. The banana plant needs a ton of water to fruit. Each plant only lives 3 years. Enjoy
re ginger facts: I'm from Hawaii, where dozens of species of ginger grow wild outside everywhere. Your ginger is not awapuhi ginger (which is Zingiber zerumbet); ginger from the store, edible ginger, is Zingiber officinale. It is normal for all gingers to bloom, when they are happy---and yours is obviously so happy : ) ! Just like other rhizome plants, like irises, you can end up with too many, so, even tho to some people it can seem like heresy, you can divide, repot, compost the extra, and so on to have it forever. (BTW, "awapuhi" is a Hawaiian word, pronounced ah-vah-POO-hee). Thanks for everything!
I grow Shampoo Ginger! (I have to grow it in a huge pot and bring it in once temps drop below 50.) If it's shampoo ginger then it will have large red cone-like flower and when you squeeze it the juices come out :)
@wickedawesomegardening- I've never never heard of that plant. Where did you get it & is it really usable for shampoo, or just named that for the "sap"? Thanks in advance & God bless you & yours 🙏
@sandijammes7761 I got mine from a place in Hawaii. It's either called Aloha Botanicals or Aloha Tropicals. If you order some just be aware sometimes it can take weeks and weeks to get up and growing! I almost gave up on mine after 2 months and then there it was! 🤣 And yes you can use it to wash your hair, hands etc! If you don't actually cut the flower and just squeeze it into a jar the "flower" will refill itself after a bit!
@WickedAwesomeGardening That's really interesting! Thanks for the quick response. I'll look into it! Ya gotta be REALLY careful, or you'll learn something new every day!! Thanks again & have a blessed Thanksgiving! 🙏
This was so encouraging Jess! Even when the garden is not in full production there is….. well it puts me in the mind of faith…. Something hoped, for that isn’t seen, so beautiful. You are the best, Jess.
Wow I've been binge watching your old garden tour videos from 2018 for the past few days so you can just imagine how excited I was when I saw this video
Love the cup. Love the quality of your hoodies. Thanks for sharing and being a “friend.” I feel a sense of contentment and calm when watching your videos. Happy Thanksgiving Season to you all.
Sorry my email sucks. My husband Adam is out of ICU and headed to rehab in our town in central Texas. You have been keeping me sane and still planning my garden
Thank you, Jess, for showing the end of season garden! It's not lush, it's not even all that pretty, but it has value - it still produces a bit, it is still a refuge. I find that I am even more grateful for the little bit of harvest I get this time of year.
When a garden tour makes your allergic reactions make sense 🤯🤯 I can’t have ginger, and I react to awapuhi shampoo! I mean a decade of not know the link lol😂
I’m in Subtropical Australia. I grow ginger in a large pot. Every year it flowers. Looks just like yours. I just leave them. I get a great ginger harvest
My horseradish is now about 10 years old, and it comes up with those deeply lobed leaves, I think, when it's colder. I suspect the smoother-edged leaves will reappear in the spring. 💚
When do you harvest your horseradish? I think I read something about waiting until after the tops are killed back by freezing temps? I tried to dig some up a few weeks ago and it didn't have any smell...definitely not what you would expect!
I have a lot of volunteer lemon basil all over my yard. Its even in the pots that are covered to keep the squirrels from planting trees in them. I have not idea how they got in there but its a wonderful surprise and I've been using some of it to supplement our rabbits dried food. He's also enjoying this unreasonably warm weather to choose what he eats from the garden. This time of year he's allowed to eat whatever isn't covered.
Carrots 🥕 Try making a designated garden bed with more than 50% sand and a bit of clay rich soil mixed with regular soil. Put it on a compost light-diet. That should get you fat carrots 🥕
Jess, could you do a short video of greenstalk care during the winter? This is my first winter with mine. I have strawberries in it and don’t know what to do. Thanks!
Thank you for openly talking about changing your mind. ❤ As someone who has all the thoughts and ideas, I am constantly having to dial back. When my hubby sees that ‘zoned out’ look, he’ll lovingly ask, “Are you Dr. Strange-ing things again?” Meaning am I runNing all the possibilities in my head at 100 mph. It’s a blessing & a curse. Have a great evening everyone!
Oh my gosh Jess! I have been here for a while and starting to understand how small the gardening community is. I found you a little while ago and just heard you talk about She's Rooted Home. She is nearby my hometown and I also have her saffron corms! I love watching you share your life with us along with Miah'sworkshop.
It's funny, you making this video had me walk into my patio container garden; in defiance of the snow we just had two days ago, I found tiny sweet strawberries in my Greenstalk planter. 😂
We’ve been unseasonably warm here on Cape Cod as well. This is the best fall garden I’ve ever grown. After Thanksgiving we will cool down, and actually get our first hard frost. I’ll get the frost fabric out to protect the lettuce a bit, the rest will be fine. Omg, I look at volunteers a scrappy friends and generally let them be. Certain plants I leave for curiosity just to see what happens. It is how I first came to harvest Swiss chard seeds, I was fascinated watching it flower and go to seed. I now have more of their seeds than I can use in a decade! Nice tour!
Love your sweet pea flowers. My dad who passed away earlier this year, always called me sweet pea. You talking about them, made me remember that with a smile. So thank you.
I absolutely Love my Roots & Refuge Wild Eyed Chicken mug in Reddish Brown. Goes so well in my hand and kitchen! Love the Ug Chugs as well.. He is a dedicated artist.. Thanks for your Cheer Filled Spirit always Jess! Nice to see your warner weather.. It's becoming winterish here in North Central Washington 🌧️☔❄️🌨️☃️ Still getting some Kale and Frost Hardy Greens from my garden.
Morning coffee or tea with Jess... Trying to watch all of your videos... You really inspire me Thanks... ABOUT THAT MINT... I planted some chocolate mint in a large planter... WELL... let me just say... after two or three years my neighbor now has chocolate mint in her garden on the other side of the fence... Luckily she doesn't mind... and it is all over my little patio...
Thank you Jess, we are in Ontario ( close to lake Huron ) so gardening is a zone warmer then inland, I pulled cherry tomatoes that were still good and today we hope to winterize our garden So wish we had started at your age( we are 72)
Even up here in Eastern Canada we have had extremely mild temps. We had a frost and freeze in Oct but nothing really cold since, just a lot of rain. I noticed my daffodils were starting to break the soil while I was weeding a bed yesterday. I love how much is still growing in your garden and how willing you are to experiment to see how far things will go. Thanks for the tour and the thought process!
My gosh your lucky ,Over here in the prairies we are getting another blast of snow this weekend 30 cm and last week was also 25cm. Winter has blasted us .
My gramma always made us beet leaf buns ,basically bun dough wrapped with young beet leaves and then baked in the oven, then she put a Dill cream sauce over the top. Have also heard them called beatniks. They are delicious.
I am SO stoked that you are doing another round of the chicken mugs. Just placed my preorder. I actually had to pause this video and go order one really fast. I’m not missing it this time around 😂
I like my banana plants and like how they come back every year and with more pups. I lived in tropical climates that grew the real thing (produce edible bananas). The plants are stunning looking and everyone that sees them comments on how good looking the leaves and plants look. Unfortunately the end of the season is fast approaching.
@@RootsandRefugeFarm The first frost in southeast North Carolina (coastal area) typically occurs between November 2 and November 17. Zone 8b. So far low temperatures in mid 30s. Leaves are beginning to brown. Banana plants still holding on.
Thanks for the tour. Quite impressive. And for those of us who have been in a blizzard for 2 days and accumulated around a foot of snow, it is a nice distraction. It also reminds me to get my indoor garden growing.
Hey Jess, I am in zone 6b in the Finger Lakes of NY! We have had only had one hard frost so far! We were in a bit of a drought which has recently ended. Needless to say I still have flowers, herbs and vegetables growing like it is early spring! I have not put any effort into clearing it out as in the grey gloom and drizzle it is amazing to look out my window and see bright yellow marigolds, Feverfew snapdragons, calendula, kale and happy birds feasting on the heads of the still standing sunflowers! It is very untidy but just like you I am not about to pull it out before it is ready to give up the ghost! Thanks again, I always learn something new from your conversations with we the viewers as you share your perspective and wealth of knowledge! Happy Thanksgiving and peace and blessings on you all! 🤗😳🤩😃🤷🤗
We are going to get our first freeze this upcoming Saturday on the coast of NC. Our peppers have been just chugging along. God gave us such a long fall season and it has been amazing. I’ve been thankful for every second of it.
Yea Jerusalem Artichokes are like mint! We tried for years to clear them out of a raised bed and one tiny slice of root left will grow a whole new crop. I always say "if you need to feed a village, grow Jerusalem Artichokes!"
Hi Jess, I live in subtropical Queensland, Australia. I believe the ginger you have is normal edible ginger. The shampoo ginger flower is much bigger, and the plant grows to about 10ft tall. I have a pat h in my garden, it's full of flowers at the moment. Hope that helps 😊
I love mine!!! I have a red one and boy does it start conversation during zoom/teams meetings. Now if I join my morning meeting and it’s not spotted they question me.
Love seeing your productivity Jess. I'm hoping to finish up our winter prep soon here in NE Indiana. Gratefully still have greens, some herbs, carrots, and radishes. Just dealing with a severe flare of chronic illnesses. Godspeed everyone, :J
You are fortunate you haven’t had freezes yet! We in Alabama did this weekend, and next weekend, will go down into the 20s at night! I’m not ready for it!
Our last frost is offically mid-March, but we have had surpise late frosts in April before too, so we also plant on planting out start of May/end of April and not on mid-March because of how things go (and how the warm veggies don't like lows lower than 50s anyways, which whether we get a frost after mid-March, we do have lows lower than 50s).
Hey Jess. You can cut all the stems down from that ginger all the way down to the soil and heavily mulch. They'll be fine in the ground as long as you really cover them to protect from the frost.
Don’t underestimate the value your late season garden tours provide for us how live in northern climes!! We had snow here this past week and our garden has been “put to bed” for the season for quite some time now. I like the break but never stop dreaming of next seasons garden.

You should write a recipe book
Write a book or start your own YT Channel. 😊 Best of success!
I love how it always seems, no matter what time of day it is, that you post a video just as I get in the car for a 20 to 30 minute drive 😂
I love that you tried growing cut flowers with the intention of bringing bouquets to the market, but then later realized cutting them down made you sad and that you actually really just wanted to be surrounded by beautiful flowers. You do have a real eye for beauty, your garden tours are so magical every single time. Thank you for sharing all that you do~
You can ferment beat leaves like beat bulbs and make soup from them later. In Poland, we call that soup botwinka (the diminutive name of beetroot).
How do you ferment them?
I hope everyone is doing okay right now. Sending love to whomever needs it.

Bakers Creek Catalog came in today. Cold weather is now welcome, since I have my wonderful catalog 😂
Thank you, Jess, for showing the end of season garden! It's not lush, it's not even all that pretty, but it has value - it still produces a bit, it is still a refuge. I find that I am even more grateful for the little bit of harvest I get this time of year.
I really enjoy the off season tours. It's fun to see what perseveres and thrives.
I agree. I love see that some beds are just hanging around.
When a garden tour makes your allergic reactions make sense 🤯🤯 I can’t have ginger, and I react to awapuhi shampoo! I mean a decade of not know the link lol😂
I value it. I love to see your garden. Please pray for my dog Parker, he is having cluster seizures. I bless you as well.
I’m in Subtropical Australia. I grow ginger in a large pot. Every year it flowers. Looks just like yours. I just leave them. I get a great ginger harvest

Jess, you are amazing as always 👩🌾 I am watching you for years and years, you are one of my biggest inspiration 🥰 Love from England 🏴
I absolutely love that pink rose against your black greenhouse ❤ It makes me so happy❤
I am so jealous of your long growing season and your numerous greenhouses!! You grow girl!! 👏👏👍👍😁
❤Mint is great for goats after de-worming..helps with iron levels..
Jess, could you do a short video of greenstalk care during the winter? This is my first winter with mine. I have strawberries in it and don’t know what to do. Thanks!
Your garden tours are GOLD! I learn so much on the understanding of gardening, soil, plant health, etc. just by walking through like this! ❤
My garden is covered with snow right now so I love seeing yours still so green ❤
Thank you Jess
I love walking through your garden every time ❤

I meant to mention before I saw you went and got your hair colored and cut looks very nice
Seeing the garden through a fresh lens.😂 📸

You should sell some of the bannana plants
Those do sell down here.
You are fortunate you haven’t had freezes yet! We in Alabama did this weekend, and next weekend, will go down into the 20s at night! I’m not ready for it!
