    Love your philosophy of making no foods taboo but teaching your children to make good choices…and Justin! So awesome of you to make the cake!

    I loved this entire video, but I was blown away when I saw you feeding 4 baby goats at one time! You've got mad skills my friend!

    Just from a filming standpoint, the shot at 2:30 with the tomatoes in the foreground and you harvesting left to right and then depositing ur harvest is SUCH a good shot!

    I just finished this video with my 3 red headed boys, and we have decided to try to make a poke cake! Looks delicious and best part, easy! Thanks Jess. Slowly watching your channel from the beginning.

    I just found your videos and love them. Your garden is so amazing. I have a very small garden. I am also 71 years old so probably not ever going to have a massive wonderful garden like you. I just love all the information you provide. Thanks so much.

    Thank you for such a lovely video. I only subscribed a few days ago and was captivated by your beautiful smile. I live in New Zealand am 73 years old and love gardening and love the Lord too. I have made garden beds as best I can. I live in a rental property so don't feel I can put up too many permanent structures. Would really love to. Love the way you have done vertical gardening. Very sensible. I make do with what I have but you so inspire me. Thank you.

    I love Climbing Trip-L-Crop for overall production. It generally produces large but not Giant tomatoes (usually under 2 pounds). For Giant tomato competitions I grow hybrid Big Zacs. My personal best was about 4 pounds. The world record tomato was actually about 10 pounds!

    I started watching your channel almost two years ago and I have watched some of your older vidoes that I've never seen yet over the past few months, however recently I have decided to put more consistent effort onto catching up on all of your past videos. It is fun to seen the difference in your garden in Arkrnsas in the earlier days and also to pick up on all the great garden tips that are included in those older videos. I'm having lots of fun!

    This is the first video of yours I have watched and I just want to say, I’m so impressed! I especially loved what you shared about your philosophy on whole foods vs junkier foods with your kids. Such a healthy and wise attitude! I sometimes start to feel like I can’t breathe on some of the homestead channels, the attitudes toward food feels so oppressive. I realize some people have had health issues and have adopted stricter diets because of it, but I appreciate your thoughts on moderation. And, I think I really like you, too!

    @jaclynrichmond1049 6 років тому

    I grew peppers this year, banana and jalapeno but the banana peppers were dry and not any thing like you would buy at the store for salads. Am I suppose to pickle them or something else because I can't imagine eating them dry? Your attitude towards being real about cooking from scratch has helped me tremendously.

    Honestly I think I’d watch a video of you changing your lightbulbs 😂 love your presence in front of the camera and your accent. Could you explain about the cake - I’m Aussie and have never heard of such a thing but I bet my kids would love it. I’ve got 5 kids from 10 down to 5months and I always say I’m the most organised disorganised person you’ll meet!

    Roast them with olive oil, onions, peppers, basil and smear it on some sourdough bread or a baguette 😋 looks so good. Gotta love those poke and pour cakes.

    I have a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes this year. It was partially my own fault for starting way too many seedlings in our green house, late winter. I canned many of them whole, to use for soups and stews this winter. I also canned pickled green cherry tomatoes this year. New subscriber. Enjoying your channel.

    I love tomatoes! Nice harvest! Not sure if you have done it since this video but it would have been nice to go with you to each plant while you harvest the tomatoes off the vine so that we know what to do or what to look for when we harvest our own tomatoes, especially us beginners. Not sure if you noticed, but we really can't even see what you're doing while you're harvesting. We just see the results.
    That food looks absolutely amazing! I know it was a year ago but what else did you have on your menu for that Fourth of July celebration? I don't have a garden yet but after seeing you are fresh salsa, I'm going to go to our local farmers market today and get some fresh ingredients and make some salsa! I absolutely love homemade salsa!
    This is all so new to me so bear with me please. Why don't you have a mother goat to feed all of the kids instead of you having to do it?
