I love the fast forwards with little talking sometimes because it lets you sit with Daniels music, which is so relaxing, and just helps set such positive vibes! ❤❤❤
Hi Jess, this is one of your best videos.♥️ I love getting an update on the cows. Watching you planting seeds in your lovely greenhouse is inspiring and very peaceful. 💕💕💕
A few tall growing shrubs/small ornamental trees planted around the pavilion would provide shade in the pavilion when the intense, late afternoon sunlight is angling into the pavilion. ...nice shady spot for a comfortable chair and an iced glass of something.
I hope to one day spend my time as you do. I would love nothing more than to farm and garden full time. Until then I shall work to be grateful for what I already have!
I am 66 years old and disabled. I live in a suburb, though I was raised on a farm. Gardening is in my blood. It is my spirituality. It is my sacred place. It is where I go to heal. It is where I go to take care of myself. You can tell how well I’m doing by what my garden looks like. And since I am aging and disabled, it is never perfect. At times I have struggled to accept myself as I am, and this garden has helped me do so. There are times I’m tempted to just give it up since I can’t do it as well as able-bodied younger people. But that’s defeat and it leads to depression and waining self acceptance. So I have named my garden, Teah’s Garden of Joy. I toil in it as I can. I add to it, as I can. I sit within it and let it embrace me. I choose to focus on what I can do, instead of what I can’t do. Each year I add more beds. Last year I added a beautiful garden shed. This year I added a chicken coop and soon a small inexpensive greenhouse. I have seating all throughout the garden because I must sit often. My face turns red and my breathing is labored after only minutes of work. But I don’t care as long as I can sit within the tomatoes and pop one off into my mouth on a warm day. When I get home from work, my garden is but a few steps from my car. Yes, I still work part time. Every penny goes into my garden! And when I truly retire, I will sit with it, that which I created, and relish what created me, the me of my silver years. I truly want to start a UA-cam series. Not to teach how to garden! But teach how to keep gardening, to keep living. You, Jess, are often my inspiration. It is no surprise that I recently purchased multiple cattle panels! And that I have wild boar seedlings started. And that I purchased my first two stackable‘s this year! I thank you for touching my life!
So happy for you! Looks like you are feeling pretty good. You remind me of a bee on a spring day in this video. Where I live it is very much still winter but our clocks are jumping forward soon and my grow room/bedroom is coming to life. This time of year is absolutely magical. One little season bringing everything and everyone back to life. I struggle every single winter. There’s no doubt in my mind if I hold on long enough the next season will come to help lift this dark cold heavy cloud up off me so I can receive the gift of the next gardening season. Here’s to so many hours of sun. The longest hardest days of the year, filling up, and sharing as much as I absolutely can. I wish every single person the very best season 💚🌱🤟
We are looking for vintage metal bistro chairs and a table to go under an arch in our flower garden bed in our circle drive. Marketplace is our go to for almost everything here!
If you have any convenience centers (with a leave and take) near you, check there! You’d be amazed what people leave there just so they don’t have to go through trying to sell it 😅 I’ve found many pieces of furniture that needed little to no work!
I was going to start a bunch of seeds this week but a 80 mph straight line wind destroyed my greenhouse and wadded it up like trash. After I cried ugly tears I’ve decided to start tomatoes and peppers in my dining room on my side table in front of the picture window and then direct sow what I can in the garden beds after the chance of frost is over. Where there is a will there is a way. I WILL have a new greenhouse by Fall. A greenhouse that will be stronger and bigger than my 6’x8’ Harbor Freight greenhouse.
My Catskill brussels are still holding out against the bolt, but the sprouts are going loose instead of tight as they increase. lol Probably getting pulled out here soon too. Just not cool enough this year for the second round of long season winter veggies. Some second succession sown broccoli varieties are still tight and growing their heads bigger, others so much. Need both heat and cold resistance in all our winter garden season veggies here. My garlic, onions and such were in amongst other things that needed freeze cover, so everything got the layers of frost cloths together for that 11F dip. No damage. Frost cloth supports are still all up though, over all the beds and pot clutters. Trust not the spring!
My mom and I ordered our first Greenstalk, so thanks for the heads up about the sale! She's kind enough to share her garden space with me while I work towards having my own place. We're starting seeds today, and I'm so excited! I love being able to join you on your farm while I'm in the waiting room stage; it's been a lifesaver when I start to get discouraged about where I am in my own homesteading journey. Thanks for sharing, it truly makes a difference.
My son gave me a GreenStalk last Mothers Day❤ You will have a blast growing in one. I learned about starting tomato suckers from Jess. I put them in empty cells of my GreenStalk just to see. I had tomatoes in December. I had them growing up into my ligustrum tree from my deck. Such fun and lesson learned. Plant tomatoes lower😂😂😂
The pollening is happening here in North Texas, too. I got some chocolate mint at my local nursery the other day that just smells heavenly. I hope you’re able to find some!
You are much much younger than I, but you really are an inspiration to me. Jess, I truly believe you are one of God’s lights for the world. Even in your sadness video’s your an inspiration. Thank you for blessing me.
I have. Had to totally do netting….these moths are awful! I keep nasturtiums around and it helps….then we found a gopher….we have very small raised trough beds but always grow salad makings, chard, misc veggies
Love your farm! This is my rest year. I'm not even doing farmers market with seedlings. Already planning for next year. I hope to increase to between 3000 & 5000 next year. I do veggies, herbs, flowers.
Herds of cattle are fun. If you don't want to milk just let the calves do the milking. We milk daily for a month and after that the calves take over and we just keep the calves in a pen for 12 hours when we need milk for the house.
Hearing y'all talk about mint, my sister grew buckets of different kinds of mint this year and made teas out of them! She had (let's see if I can remember them all): spearmint, peppermint, pineapple mint, lemon mint, orange mint, chocolate mint, and berries and cream mint. She made some awesome teas!
I have an 8m old, and any time I put one of your videos on he just has to sit, cuddle, and watch Jess. That's ok, later we will walk through our garden and pet his thyme
Sweet Jess, I can see while watching this video you are in total bliss. You look amazing, you're in your element, you look like your feeling good. Your doing what you do best, and love....planting seeds, and gardening. Life is good! Blessings to you my friend.
We got 8 inches of snow yesterday so we won’t have to deal with pollen yet also not starting any seeds yet either. It will be Mother’s Day before I put anything out. We started taking bee pollen and hopefully it will help withe allergies!
have you thought of using your bathtub as an aquaphonics in greenhouse? maybe a hanging tower that allows greenhouse to have additional moisture as well as growing? just a thought, i love the aquaphonics growing. good luck, love your show.
Ordered a Greenstalk! So excited. I got a “fake” from the hardware store last year and it doesn’t water the layers very well. Oak season here in south central ( hill country) Texas. Yellow pollen everywhere!
OHH JESS 😍😍 IM GIDDY FOR YOU. THE PAVILION TAKES ME BACK TO A SPECIFIC HEAVENLY DAY THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CORE MEMORY IN MY LIFE. YOUR GREEN THUMBPRINT ON YOUR FARM MASTERPIECE IS GROWING SO BEAUTIFULLY. THANK YOU FOR THE JOY AND GREAT WISDOM THAT YOU ALWAYS BRING TO THE TABLE. IT IS A BLESSED MEAL FOR OUR SOULS. YOU HAVE A BLESSED DAY MAAM AND KEEP SHINING LIGHTS. 🥰🙏🙏🙏💚🦋
Remember when you used to give them grass trimming tasks to keep the littles busy? Maybe get them butterfly nets and pay them for each white moth they catch…😂 Talk about double duty, pest control and farm boy fun.
Didn't realize till half way through the season that those "cute white butterflies!" my kids kept seeing were cabbage moths. 😬😬😬 I'll be trying this pest control solution this year.
My green stalk is supposed to be delivered today!!!! Wahoo I can't wait! I wish our place looked as green and blooming as your area....however I already have a sinus infection soooo I guess I should be happy I'm not there.
Hey Jess, I have a question about your greenhouse!! What kind of windows are you using for your walls? I have been saving up a bunch of big, old windows that were taken off old houses and wanted to make my greenhouse out of those. My Fiancé did some research and what he was looking at said to not use house windows because they are made to filter out light...does this sound familiar to you? I cant tell you exactly what year the houses were made in but I know it was before the 90's. I hope you see this message! I just love you and your family and how much love and joy you all spread to us all! 🍅😁
Hey Jess ,that's kinda Cool,who knew Might Miah would fall in love with your passion 🤗. Think of it as 💰 in the Bank hehehe. It's so strange to me that y'all are in the 80°s and have Daffodils and Asparagus 😲. Trees pollinating Oh My 😊. We did talk about this,you finding cool sit a spell furniture to play e around YaY the time is here! Enjoy your seeds sprouted Season 💖. JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️
I am so jealous you guys have nice green grass I got the gross snow still I can not wait for green grass I hate New York if I had a lot of money I would live were you guys live
Jess could you tell me what Miah used for the the top your seed starting tables? Does he have a tutorial on how yo make them? I am having a greenhouse put in this year and would love to have something like that inside of it. I am so excited for your pavilion space to be done for your pleasure and use this summer! Love it so much in your garden!
The auto-generated cc is funny to read while watching this video. "Maya was saying he would really like to have more extra milk to feed the hawks and so I think he's wanting to keep a cow really to have access to feed out dogs"
Thanks for sharing the farm & garden progress! Many blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
I love the fast forwards with little talking sometimes because it lets you sit with Daniels music, which is so relaxing, and just helps set such positive vibes! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. Blessings

Awesome, thanks for sharing these moments with us.
What a lovely time I’ve had watching you with my morning coffee…❤️❤️
💚Is that the fan we're hearing? Think so, but sounds like rain. Thank you, Jess, for showing us the continuation of seed starting 💚
That SMILE at 7:13 is EVERYTHING. You just shine in this video 🥲
The greenhouse is beautiful, a real work of art. I'm envious, of your ability to garden barefoot. I'm at least 2 months from being able to do that.
I hope to one day spend my time as you do. I would love nothing more than to farm and garden full time. Until then I shall work to be grateful for what I already have!

Nice to see you in your greenhouse happy place 🤗

LOVE the greenhouse! I'm jealous.
You look so good! More vibrant and happy! 🥰🙌💗 I’m happy you are feeling better

Estate sales, Habitat for Humanity ReStores are my favorites for "quality" used furniture.
Your greenhouse is beautiful.
I see it!!
Love your beautiful spring time dress
Thank you for the warm weather watch! We are going back under snow today supposedly.
OfferUp! You would not believe the deals we have gotten! You just have be ready to fly when you find it.

Hello pollen my old friend, you’ve come to clog my head again!😊
So very true!! The yellow dust and sneezes of pollen!
😂
My Catskill brussels are still holding out against the bolt, but the sprouts are going loose instead of tight as they increase. lol Probably getting pulled out here soon too. Just not cool enough this year for the second round of long season winter veggies. Some second succession sown broccoli varieties are still tight and growing their heads bigger, others so much.

Playing with my new permaculture chicken composting system digging and hauling woodchips as I watch. Spring is almost here. Can I get an Amen!!!?
I don't wanna pay as much as it cost to pay somebody else who found it at a garage sale! Priceless!!! You're great!
I love your greenhouse!
My mom and I ordered our first Greenstalk, so thanks for the heads up about the sale! She's kind enough to share her garden space with me while I work towards having my own place.

Yup the pollen is flying in Greenville county to. The Bartlett pear trees are in full bloom and causing issues for everyone
How beautiful! My favorite fruit!!! So sweet, plump, and pretty!!
@@teresamariner4238 these trees don’t bare fruit they are some worthless trees, the only thing these trees bare are pollen
Your garden is so beautiful! I can't wait to see it all in its prime. The love and care that you and Miah have put into everything shows.
I love how the colored cups play off the colored windows plays off the colored table. All the ART! Feel me?
My late husband used to keep a tennis racket by the cabbages & cole crops to whack the cabbage looper moths.
Good morning 😃
The fan sounds like a brook. Relaxing. Thank you Psalm 91 over all believers.
You got the pavillion!!!!
The pollening is happening here in North Texas, too. I got some chocolate mint at my local nursery the other day that just smells heavenly. I hope you’re able to find some!
I would love to see a natural fabrics wardrobe haul from you 😍
You are much much younger than I, but you really are an inspiration to me. Jess, I truly believe you are one of God’s lights for the world. Even in your sadness video’s your an inspiration. Thank you for blessing me.
She always makes my wife and I smile, we just love her joy for life.
Me as well!
Good times for sure
I have. Had to totally do netting….these moths are awful! I keep nasturtiums around and it helps….then we found a gopher….we have very small raised trough beds but always grow salad makings, chard, misc veggies
It's not being cheap, it's being a good steward of what you've been blessed with. That's what I tell myself anyway. 😉
It's cute how Bear pokes his head in every once in awhile to see if you are still there.
I love Bear!
The green house is absolutely stunningly beautiful plants ganging light beautiful windows
Love your farm!
This is my rest year. I'm not even doing farmers market with seedlings.
Already planning for next year. I hope to increase to between 3000 & 5000 next year. I do veggies, herbs, flowers.
The Pavillion truly gives the garden that sense of place.

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there and that of your family
Ordered a Greenstalk! So excited. I got a “fake” from the hardware store last year and it doesn’t water the layers very well. Oak season here in south central ( hill country) Texas. Yellow pollen everywhere!
Wooohooo another wild Pavillion area 🤩😊
My hibiscuses usually are the last thing to come up. I am loving the pavilion simply because it reminds me of the old farm 😢
Enjoyed the video
Yes finally got my first two green stalks, thank you thank you!!!❤❤❤🌱🌱🌱
Always seeing glimpses of Bear in the background….happy farm dog ❤

As always Jess, thank you❣
❤️🌱🌱😃
Lady, you look so vibrant and healthy! 🥰
Oh man I can wait for tomatoes to be sown im so excited. till them I will live through the 'tomato lady' as my 8 year old calls you!
Thank you so much for introducing us to Wild Boar Farms. They have amazing stuff if you get there before they sell out. ❤️
OHH JESS 😍😍 IM GIDDY FOR YOU. THE PAVILION TAKES ME BACK TO A SPECIFIC HEAVENLY DAY THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CORE MEMORY IN MY LIFE.

So looking forward to seed staring this weekend
So peaceful, watching you planting.
Hey Jess... were you or have you and I missed it, going to do a show showing us how to set up your raised beds?
'Tis delightful to walk thru your garden. We had a thaw freeze thaw freeze & I don't dare step out onto those back door steps! I live in the Mitten.
Haha yes that’s the way I love to label! I just posted that in a video too haha.
Remember when you used to give them grass trimming tasks to keep the littles busy? Maybe get them butterfly nets and pay them for each white moth they catch…😂 Talk about double duty, pest control and farm boy fun.

Enjoy your seeds sprouted Season 💖.
JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️
I love animals and could never have too many
You're NOT cheap...you're frugal!!! ☺😉😊
Welcome yo the south
I am so jealous you guys have nice green grass I got the gross snow still I can not wait for green grass I hate New York if I had a lot of money I would live were you guys live
I swear by raw a2a2 for pigs! Its a major part of my pigs diet and the taste i believe comes from it is unbeatable!!
Ah, I have never been an envious one, but looking you sitting on the floor of your greenhouse filling pots with soil has turned me emerald green! 😜
I agree... Keep all the cows😉🤣😉
Jess could you tell me what Miah used for the the top your seed starting tables?
Does he have a tutorial on how yo make them? I am having a greenhouse put in this year and would love to have something like that inside of it.
I am so excited for your pavilion space to be done for your pleasure and use this summer! Love it so much in your garden!
It's refreshing to hear someone admit that she wants to keep all the animals! Very sweet.
It’s so hard to sell animals!!! I hear ya!
What a lovely greenhouse and the shelf is the perfect height.
The auto-generated cc is funny to read while watching this video. "Maya was saying he would really like to have more extra milk to feed the hawks and so I think he's wanting to keep a cow really to have access to feed out dogs"
I have only 4 trays of seeds. My garden is on the the small side!
Sorry for the blow up but I work third shift but I over sow so I can share...especially with heirloom plants
