Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me
I plant when the eastern box turtles come out of hibernation. 🐢
Hello love your station got here by way of Jess and sweet Miah
Peace Love and Light #GodsConstruction
Thank you and welcome to our journey ❤
Hey, ACRE HOMESTEAD did a video on "The Best Way to Organize Your Seeds" using this exact photo box on January 8th. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Oh, and thanks for the note you sent to my house. Be sure not to disagree with Jill, people.
I saw those photo containers at Hobby Lobby for $14.99. I love mine
50k subscribers!! Wow! I am so proud of you 👏 how exciting. 🤗 that's a big deal girl!!
Thank you ❤
"Scattered Butterfly" I can relate, that should make it to a shirt 🎉💗🦋💕💫🌟
That definitely describes my gardening style 🌱💕🦋😆
Why is gardening so terrifying? I'm not afraid to take on any animal for training but growing food for us scares me. So super frustrating 😤 🤣 I am so very grateful to you and Jess for putting these vlogs out there. You ladies are teaching me so very much. Thank you!
I believe if you can keep animals alive then you will do great with plants. You got this - Nate
Go to your Local Garden Center and ask for a season Planner for your area. That's all you need to go by. It's tailored to what location you live. Includes dates of what and when to plant.
Thank you going tomorrow
Great tip! Thank you.
Great advice, thanks for sharing ❤
@@emilyrider8703 Roots and Refuge were the original owners of the farm and built the window greenhouse. They moved to SC in 2021, but their farm was purchased by Jill and Nate!!
I always assumed that all seeds needed started at once so I truly appreciate this video! Learned something new.
Hello lovely lady, hope you are staying warm. Waiting on this video
I believe I am also zone 7b so this should be easy 👍thanks so much for taking the time to share with us. 😁
7B also in Greensboro, NC
We met some really great people in your area at HOA. Go check out these two new pages

I would love a video on how to affectively direct sow seeds if possible. I am a huge procrastinator and I also don't have seed starting space so that would be greatly helpful for me. Love your channel 😁
Hardening off is the heart wrenching part. In 6a zone New Jersey I can’t trust Farmer’s Almanac so I go by past calendars I’ve kept. No plants outside until May 20 and expect cold weather by October 1. All over the state relatives follow these same dates for generations of gardeners. Now if the weather stays warmer longer into the Autumn, yeah. But consider that a gift from God cause it’s not ‘normal’. 🌸
A video on the garden apps you use would be cool!!
Last year my Frost date was beginning of April & we had a freeze in April. This year I'm not transplanting until May 1. This year I'm gonna start more seeds myself & not buy from garden center.
Very organized way of storing seeds.
I take those calendars with a grain of salt. My "last frost" is in March, yet we almost always get a light frost in early May. Every calendar says to plant out peppers and eggplants in April, but I know better.
I loved starting my dahlias from seed! I felt so accomplished and thankful I took the time to grow from seed.
Thanks for sharing when to start your seeds very helpful information.
Getting a 3-year pocket calendar and tracking your daily weather you can begin to average out your own garden frost data, the more years you track the better you will know your frost dates. Also tracking daily soil temps is a good idea, it helps narrow down (i do it for a weekly average) when the soil is warmed enough for direct seeding in the spring and transplanting for the main growing season.
I am starting seed for first time this year also I wish I could get some 2.5 pots from Johnny's I just can't this year it will be a red solo cup year to be able to build the fences and raised beds this year
Very good information. Thank you 😊
Thank you Jill reminder to wait. It's really important to do time right your area. The seed storage aka photo boxes have been a awesome for organizing.
QUESTION: what flower types do you start later? Reading some of my packages they seem to need more time. Thanks for awesome vlog & have a great day
Thank yo so much for doing this video! Full of information. This will be first year starting seeds. I needed this. Can’t wait for the next one.
My last frost date is May 15th up here in Northern Wisconsin I planted my whole garden on June 1st one year and June 15th we got hit with a freak snow storm so its a bit freaky up here also so I watch my 10 day temps to see if anything crazy is gonna happen
Depending on how small your garden is early in the season I have to use upside-down clear storage tubs to protect my plants from wind and cold.
In Central OH, the last date to plant to be sure of NO frost is May 15, too.
I use the photo organizers too. Love them! So helpful to keep track and organize seeds.
My start dates for seed germination can't come soon enough! January and February are always my hardest months to get through. 😭 I just know it's 55 days until spring! And a 6 weeks until I can start my seeds indoors! 🥰
I am so excited to grow my first spring garden!!! I got a lot of fulfillment and joy from my first fall/winter garden. Thanks for all the tips, chica! Stay smiley 🧡🧡
The leaves are so green on your trees! I wish mine were like that already 😃
Never mind 😂🤦🏼♀️
Love all your seed starting tips, they have helped me alot, first year starting all my plants from seed
Awesome system you have Going
So happpy to have found your channel. I dont have a farm but I am trying to be a smarter efficient gardener. Your tips will be so helpful ☺️
Thanks for checking out our journey ❤
yep! ur rite..
I’m an experienced horticulturist and even I found this helpful. Thanks Jill. I have a third of those plastic boxes that I pop seeds in by the month to sow. But I’m deffo going to group things in a band with an exact date in the box. Will help with succession sowing too.
Thank you for the info! I jotted down a lot. You explained things in a way I could understand. I appreciate that. ☺️.
I've used my label maker and put when to start on the unit box, beside the name of what is in the unit , I have the same storage cases for my seeds !!
So helpful Thankyou so happy to have found your channel
We are glad you are here, welcome to our journey
Please show us when and a tutor us on carrot 🥕..
You can also just google “what date is 4/6/8 weeks from…..(frost date).
Been putting off deciding what seeds to plant and when. Thank you for a great informative video. I am in zone 8a.
This was very helpful! Thank you for all you guys do!
I love the ~idea~ of gardening….it kills me that there’s some amount of math involved…😜 Thank you for the tips!❤️
Thank you Jill! Such a great video and the information was so helpful!
You're in my favorite spot! ❤ Totally adore everything about that greenhouse, sorry it's not level.😉 I'm loving the G.G. course. Trying to convince Jess to do more G.G. Tshirts & sweatshirts....
My last frost was a full month late last year and 2 weeks late in 2020. It's supposed to be March 17 but I'm aiming for April 1 based on our recent history. Our first frost has also been late; 4 weeks late in 2020 and 5 weeks late in 2021.
FYI…Michael’s is selling the seed organizers for 14.99 right now!!! I bought 3 today.
Good info Jill, Thanks! I've been gardening for a several years now, but still learning more from others like you. I just now ordered a set of the WWF Bootstrap Farmer pots. I got a case of black ones last summer but I couldn't pass up adding a little color to my seed starting racks. Thanks for doing those!
Thanks for supporting us❤
FYI Jill has her own line of pots now.
@@theresatyree3090 Yes, that is the ones I bought. The link is up in the description.
Great advice…thank you 💜🌻💜
This is a VERY helpful video! Thanks! I will be referring back to it, I’m sure!
Great video Jill, very helpful 👍 Thank you!
Thank you so much for all the info! I really like your photo organizer idea, I am hoping to start that this year. I am curious what garden app you use?
I can sense the Holy Spirit in her. 🙏🏻 😇
Don't the gamble with frost dates could be just another gardener experiment that could give pleasant result, might not, might just be a learning experience.
But, as you say, if one is depending on that plant, because of space or time constraints, better to keep in mind the average last frost.
When I started the plan for my property, my plan was to not have a plan! I figured that would make a forest garden look more natural. But as the reality of the immense job set in, I realized I needed to be planning to a certain extent.
WRT the plants that don't transplant well, the trick is to have them in big enough cup and let the soil dry a little bit so you can move them from cup to ground with zero disturbance of the roots.
Jill where did you get your shirt?? Its sooo cute!
Thank you, that was our Buckets of Happy shirts we had for sale in November. We will relaunch those shirts and tank tops the end of March
My Mom who had gardened all her life always told me to wait until after Easter. She said everybody gets too rushed and end up losing plants. I'm in NE Texas, zone 8a, and our last frost date is April 2nd and Easter is April 17th, two weeks later. It's going to be extremely hard to wait. So I think I'll see what the weather forecast says and decide when the time comes. Although, here in Texas, the weather is crazy too. Hard to go by the forecast. So idk what I'll do! lol!! I did start celery seed and bunching onion seeds today in the house. :)
5 mins in... And waiting...
New sub today
Thanks for checking out our journey ❤
Do you happen to remember when the last frost was last year. I’m also in central Arkansas. It seems like we did have a later frost.
We did but I can't remember the dates
I couldn’t find the link to order those photo organizers for seed storage. Am I looking in the wrong place?
why not just make a chart for Last frost dates, and succession growing. See example I am making up
last frost date spring is 5/1.
2 weeks is 4/17, 4 weeks is 4/3, 6 weeks is 3/20, 8 weeks is 3/6, 10 weeks is 2/20....
then you dont have to constantly look up the dates.
then write in which crops are for which time frame starts
you can write (1) for first sow, (2) for second sow etc after each item on your chart.
Great idea
Thanks for this helpful info. Do you direct seed in your green stalk?
Sometimes I do
So what if frosts aren't really a thing where you live but heat waves that rival hell are ? 😂 We basically have fall weather and summer weather.
Could you please say the app’s you use to keep up with gardening please?
Other than bootstrap farmer, what other companies have you used for your seed starting supplies? ~ Laurie
What apps do you use for tracking your garden?
When should I start brassica and greens seeds for growing in green house beds in zone 6b?
Great question. If you have a heat source then you could start now. If not I would wait until first of April
I would love to know what apps you use!?
Jill will be mentioning them in a future video
When do you start your green stalks?
Sometime in late March
Would you share the apps you use?
Where did you get the seed organizer?!
You can find them at Michael's, Amazon, Hobby Lobby, and several other places
I know you have green houses. Do you happen to winter sow?
Some things, we are currently over wintering flowers and as soon as I get electricity I will grow some radishes and a few other things
@@WhisperingWillowFarm I don’t have the room for a greenhouse. I think I will try my first attempt at winter sowing in mid February. My last frost date is April 15 so I need to get the flower seeds out there soon. I just haven’t received my order yet from John Scheepers. Hopefully they come soon! LOL I just got my Burgess catalog. Have you ever ordered from them? Their prices seem incredibly low but I’m wondering about their germination rate and how they source their seeds.
I have been looking for good apps to help me in the garden. Any suggestions for apps??
Tee shirt and sun? Jealous!
When are we gonna start talking about Marijuana seeds??
It's illegal in AR
