Hey yall! Due to our weekend full of graduation festivities, I decided to publish this video normally instead of premiering. I look forward to visiting with you all over next week’s tour in a premier chat! I hope you enjoy the video!
Im struggling to setup a big blank space for my flower, herb and vegetable garden. Im literally not doing anything because i can't get a vision. Your drone footagebeata good way to show overviews for people like me. My space is cleared, leveled and ready for structures, raised beds, fencing. I just can't figure it out
How do your cucumbers go in the high tunnels when it hits those high temps?
We have the same sort of temps here in Perth Western Australia, a bit dryer, we do get humid days too.
I have big shade cloths over my raised garden beds and the cucumbers do better under those in the peek of the heat.
Thanks! Always so helpful… And love your mug collection
why not try using a shade cloth for the cucumbers?
Our honeybees love our borage❤🐝
Such a beautiful garden. My weather has been in the 40s through the 60s, with a few days I. The 70s. We have been getting lots of rain. The weather is crazy this year. At least my potatoes are looking good. The last few years, the deer enjoyed my potato plants. My snap peas are growing slowly.
Congratulations on Asher's graduation.
My daughter suddenly started talking about wanting chickens and a garden. She has never been interested in it before. I personally think it is great.
I love your garden
I enjoy your videos, but every time you step into a lush green area in sandals or reach into a bed to pull a root vegetable, I cringe because you've mentioned before that there are snakes where you are. I always have to remind myself you're okay or I wouldn't have a video to watch. 😂😂😂
Where’s your mom
Such beautiful gardens!!! Thank you for letting us experience your lovely part of the world.❤❤❤
Some people think you're faking and secretly using "Miracle Grow"? Your garden is lush because of your weather, but even more due to your soil, I think.
You don't need to apply lab created chemicals when your soil is alive by feeding with compost and developing your soil over the years.
You can test your soil to see if it's lacking something and add that, but if your soil is right for what you're trying to grow, the plants take all they need from the soil and don't need artificial foods.
The "trellis grabbers" are tendrils. I am enthralled by tendrills. They intrigue me. They have a job to do and show a kind of intelligence in a way. They sure are determined!
Your garden is gorgeous.
❤❤❤
Can totally relate to the excitement of harvesting things that grow underground. Harvesting potatoes is my favorite. We harvested our 3 bins of potatoes this morning and it was so exciting digging for treasures. We got 28 pounds, almost an entire 5 gallon bucket full. It's our 3rd year growing them and they're the best we ever grew. This is our first carrot season & I'm looking forward to seeing how they do
Here in S.W. Georgia, we had a high of 95 today and we are not into Summer yet. I have to do all my gardening early in the morning and late in the evening. Congrats to Asher.
I restrained myself from watching this until I got done with the shorter daily routine content I watch every day. It's kind of a reward for me to wait for the best! Always enjoy your videos Jess, especially the daily you've been doing. blessings to y'all. Oh, and happy graduation Asher! You have been raised right and you will do well.
Maybe you could use some of the Helene shade cloth to cover the onions (and garlic) for curing? there would still be good airflow and maybe a little less heat. I have cured garlic under a fully shaded porch in 80-90 F and they did fine.
Out in my area of very rural Oregon, when the companies that contract with the power company to keep the lines clear are in the area, they will gladly dump chips for you if you catch them in the area. They'd rather give them to you than have to pay to dump them at a municipal site.
Im literally just planting my tomatoes tomorrow. PNW South Willamette Valley. Zone 8b. I can grow just about any perennial. But tomatoes have to wait.
I found a volunteer petunia in my yard the other day. I've never planted them, so it looks like the birds decided I should have a petunia plant. They have over the years decided I should have blackberries (sadly not the thornless kind), mulberry trees, and the dreaded morning glory that no matter how hard I try to get rid of it it just gets everywhere lol.
Thank you for all the educational information you offer in all videos covering many aspects of life & gardening. You are exceptional! Have you considered doing a bulk harvest of the Kale & freeze drying it then turning it into powder to add to smoothies, dressings etc? Just a thought…..Congrats Mama on another High School Graduate. God Bless
If shade is so important, why aren't you strategically placing trees around your garden?? A couple maple trees or ?? Plant them now and you'll thank yourself later 😅 ❤👍
I think gardening is more popular now because of YOU! At least in part…
I was JUST thinking to myself "what am I doing wrong that Jess' garden is growing so much quicker than mine?! :(( " and that's when you said that it's the rain, humidity and temperature. It's been a cool spring here in Northern Illinois and even though the last frost has passed a long time ago a lot of the heat loving plants are not happy. ..so still waiting, and living vicariously through you!
Isn't it funny how you can downsize but still have too much to do. I am retired and I can't figure out how I had time to work a job.
We are still having 40 degree F nights here in Ohio! So weird, especially after last year when we had a massive 90+ week in early June!
Bonus food you didn’t plan on. Your enthusiasm in the garden is so infectious.
I plant a mixture of colored carrots and we like to call it "carrot surprise!" Lol
I love having you, Miah and your family as virtual neighbors ❤. Thanks so much for everything you do for us all. 💕 Mama D
So beautiful. I love it Jess
Aww those are the same Cala Lillie’s I got for Mother’s Day. One orange and one pink
I might be missing something here… But why are you going to weedwhack the strawberries once theyre done?
Aww those are the same Cala Lillie’s I got for Mother’s Day. One orange and one pink
Does anyone know of a summer squash that has the nutty flavor of winter squash like butternut.
Thank you for thinking of us in the world who use Celsius – I appreciate it!! Garden is looking FANTASTIC 😊
I have never gotten a wood chip drop in a residential area even offered up to $50 . We had 3 direct hits from hurricanes last year and couldn’t get them either but not knowing what conditions they are coming from so should not try so hard.
Your garden is coming along nicely.
Happy graduation, Asher! Congratulations!
Rain makes plants grow much better than just watering, maybe those people that say you are feeding them non organic product aren’t getting much rain or might not be as knowledgeable 🤷🏻♀️
Paper clips work really well to open up and tack down strawberry runners! I keep some larger paper clips actually clipped along the edges of the pockets, all over my green stalk that has my strawberries in it so that I can just open it up right there on the spot and tack a runner down in the next pocket or wherever I have space!! I've even hung some baby pots off the side of the green stalk, to accommodate new babies! 🍓
I absolutely needed this today my garden is slow to start this year and its been a super rough week. Ty
So loving watching constant garden tours & constant updates again thank you love from South Africa
Hellebore is poisonous.
What a lovely blouse, very witchy ❤
Huh, interesting. I'm curious how your rhubarb is going to do.
I think here in germany we grow rhubarb a little different. We only harvest a few stalks at a time – continuously up until 24. June.
The more you harvest the more you get.
But then, when 24. June comes, you leave the plant be. It's gonna replenenish it's energy for next year, and the eventually die back.
A little bit like asparagus, only that rhubarb will try to bloom pretty early, and those blooms need to be plucked if you want to harvest.
👏❤️ love and blessings to you all!
Lovely garden tour, Jess. Thank you.
Congratulations Asher!!! 🎉❤🇬🇧
Hi Jess thank for sharing your garden.My tomatoes are like that right now.Yesterday I said to hell with trimming let it do it's thing,anyway it's winter here.Im blessed with it 😅
Thoroughly enjoying your daily videos and appreciate the effort it takes to juggle the garden, mother/wifehood life and editing!!! It’s particularly helpful when you share the regular progress during the seasons; especially successes and issues. Although we’re in the UK, there are often similarities in unseasonable delays or early harvests. This year it’s garlic and in some areas, onions. Garlic has either matured a month earlier this year or is finished and disappointing. You’re my US Charles Dowding when it comes to garden monitoring…. 😊
