Beautiful high tunnel. Hope you are doing well with your pregnancy in this heat. I’m 21 weeks pregnant and this Midwest humidity has me exhausted when I’m working in the garden. But today I harvested my first peppers and potatoes so it motivated me to keep moving and not give up! Blessings! ❤
Congratulations to you momma
Please do a video when you amend the beds. I would like to see what you use and the process please.
Hey girl you impress me every time you do a tour of your hoop house. Your knowledge and learning experience has superseded since you took over this farm. You have thrown yourself into this homestead 200% and it shows. Congratulations on the farm. You are 1 special lady. Take care of yourself and that little guy your carrying around in your belly. You look amazing! Love you and best wishes to a healthy, happy baby boy, and of course a beautiful 2024 abundance of food stored away in your pantry and for your enjoyment. Please take care of yourself.
Thank you so much 🙏
Up here in Central Maine, the size of those cucumber leaves is UNBELIEVABLE
Great video! You’re going to love the lunchbox peppers. The orange are my fave! They’re like candy!
Good to know, we’re excited to try them
The fact that you are dwarfed by the Carmen pepper says it all 😂
We grow determinates in a high tunnel too and we also prune them. We take off the "sun leaves" and leave on the suckers and productive parts which have plenty of foliage to collect sun and shade the fruit.
Love that you share what doesn’t work, as well! We’re Newton county, and fall brassicas are the way to go! Thanks for sharing varieties 😊Thanks for all you do! ❤
Radish seed scapes are delicious just wait another week
Lovely high tunnel, the plants look healthy and prolific. Jill put your feet up rest through the heat of your days.
That surprises me that you had so much trouble with the bumblebee tomatoes. We grow them all the time and they are a favourite of ours. The taste is amazing, and they have had no trouble with pests or disease whatsoever. We let them ramble, we climb them on trellises, we never prune any of our tomatoes, and still have no problems. We grow outside in South Western Ontario, Canada. As for paste tomatoes, the cheap common seed (available in most department and dollar stores, which we aren't against buying, but in this case there are better choices) that only offer the smaller paste romaine tomato, get disease( but are extremely prolific), but the larger San Marzano which is wonderful, gets very little disease, as does the Ox Heart (although it doesn't produce as much as other varieties). I'm wondering if it is the climate and location difference. We do get very hot here and vary between wet and dry, and really only have problems if it is too far in one direction or the other. Wet is definitely the worst for tomatoes though.
oh everything is so green !! Your absolutely glowing 🤰keep eating all that good food!
😊 thank you
Thanks for sharing Jill. I love your garden. It’s good to know the high producers you grow in comparison to heirlooms. I do see your point of the diseases in comparison to the hybrid. We do what’s best for us in our region and what our family will eat. Many blessings to you and your family. Also I love your beet powder video. Will try that this year.
Thank you 🙏
Hey Jill, awesome tour of the tunnel. Me and my 2 year old granddaughter watched it this morning. Wishing you and your family a blessed day.
Thanks so much!
I really enjoy the Pomodoro Squisito Paste Tomato from Territorial Seed and that is an indeterminate 😊
Thanks for the tip ❤️
I love your high tunnel and everything that comes out of it 🥰
Thank you friend ❤️
Looks amazing! 💚
Thank you 🙏
Awesome. Great tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video!! Gives me ideas on what to grow
Thank you. Hope you have a successful growing season
Looking all good Jill ❤🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for the tour.
Thanks for watching 🤗
Great video! ❤
Thank you!!
Your garden vegetables look great!
Radish tops make a great soup! Thry aren't spiky when cooked.
Great tip, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the detailed tour. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video ❤
Glad you liked it!!
please show us what you cut off you cucumbers to have them grow up a string and about the umbrella technique. I want to try it this year but I don’t know what to cut
Here’s a video we did on the trellis technique

Outstanding garden Jill! 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
I ordered that same high tunnel kit when I saw Jess and Mya build that one, and I can say - I’m so glad we did! We got the low side (3.5 ft) version because of the high winds here in Oklahoma. We only have 12” high beds and use rainwater to water & it has been one of the big joys of my life!!!
I’ve also found that my Speckled Roman chunky paste style tomato really doesn’t like to be pruned. Hardly got anything off of them last year, but then again last year was terrible here in OK because it went from cloudy and rainy to hot and blooms won’t set super fast. Good info on the paste tomatoes!!!
THANKS for the Information
You bet
Woohoo! ❤
Try growing zinnias next to the tomatoes it kept all the bugs off of mine❤
Thanks for sharing your tip
I'm 72 and I've tried to do a little bit of gardening. I had eight children in 10 years and didn't have much time for anything else. I decided I wanted Beauty along with my vegetables so I put flowers in my first garden. I've heard horror stories about the hornworm etc. but I had none and didn't know what they look like. Many years later I put a tomato plant in with my flower garden. Still no pest, then later I planted a tomato alone and got a huge hornworm it killed my tomato plant. I couldn't figure out where the heck that hornworm came from because I lived in the forest then. Then I remembered I had flowers around my tomato plants before so the next time I planted Tomatoes I planted a zinnia next to it. Back to not having any more pests.😁 My friends and I grew a garden together. I had some pitiful looking zinnias put them between all of her tomato plants and she had no hornworms or bugs of any kind to eat the tomatoes. The next year I did not feel that good to participate my friends put marigolds next to them. The marigolds got ate up and some of the tomatoes too . I know the zinnias did the trick.😊
I'm growing in Central Arkansas in a high tunnel we love red snapper a large slicer very productive
Hello neighbor 👋🏼
Do you ypu have a video on pruning peppers?
The carmen Italian peppers is one of my favorites. Lunch box is very good as well. Nice garden tour. God bless you 🙏 Love and hugs from Pennsylvania Sincerly Melody
San marzano is indeterminate so your instinct is correct with them. Looks great!
Great advice on the cabbage worms. My grandaughter is picking them off by the hundreds. 😢
Oh no!
I’m growing Paisano too. The hearty plant is amazing but even stronger is the Roma I got from Annie’s Heirlooms. I’m shocked!
Awesome garden tour !!! Impressive trellising techniques. Darn pests...weird that they hone in on certain species. Wowza, your Katrina cucumber is awesome....all female flowers...WOWZA !!
Thank you so much 😊
This single lady grows 8 Katrinas because all my family and friends want me to make freezer bread and butter pickles for them. Sad to hear your itachis were infested because I also love those. So glad we usually don't get infested here. Favorite and only paste tomato for me is the indeterminate, but shorter, Pozzano from Johnny's, prolific and pest free. Oh my, you just now said you have those, too.
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you tried rhubarb leaves(tea) for aphid control?
Never tried that
Hey y'all, Great video and information. Have you ever looked at or thought about "Dr Bronner's peppermint Castile soap"? Google this this is what I use after spraying with water and I use neem oil at most once a year but have it in case. Take care Cya next thyme
Are your tomatoes with the aphids Chef Choice, by chance? I've grown them two years in a row and they get SO infested with aphids! I knew better than to grow them again this year but I didn't want to throw away my seeds! 🤦♀️
love your videos!! question: so bummed as deer just chewed off many sections of my tomato, squash and cucumber plants despite the fencing....do I prune all the way down now or leave as it or replace the plants?
I put determinant tomatoes in my lowside greenhouse. I did trellis them, should I prune them?
🌻🐛🌿💚🙏🙏🙏💕
Gotta disagree with ya, heirlooms taste way better than hybrid. Plus they keep producing till frost. Nothing but heirlooms for us, there is a reason why heirlooms have been around for hundreds of years.
Yeah interesting that she has had so much trouble with pests. I grew so many heirlooms last year and had zero pest problems for tomatoes. I’m still trying to eat last year’s! Companion planted basil and marigolds with them and no problems at all.
The pest pressure may have to do with growing them in the high tunnel. Just a guess.
If your tomato plant is a hybrid does that mean they are GMO?
Great question. Some hybrids are GMO but most aren’t.
No Sungolds?!?!
