  1. Wowza Jess, you are going to Scotland ??, safe travels and have an epic journey into another land far, far away. Lovely fruit food forest !! Lovely, jolly garden video like always. Good job …. now have fun !!

  2. Yep, that video of you saying goodbye to your grandparents house is one of my favorites for many reasons. ❤

  3. I can't grow pumpkins down here in south Texas the vibe borers always kill my plant😭

  4. Love you and what you do; please continue.
    I'm concerned that you planted prickly pear cacti; they are invasive. Now that they are established, they will take over.

  5. One of my favorite moments in your videos was when you saw the Grand Canyon! Your reaction was so genuine and I can so relate to being overwhelmed my Mother Earth’s beauty. Hope you’re having a fantastic trip to Scotland!

  6. Please bring us with you when the jujubes ripen and tell us how you use them! We planted two this year and are so excited for when they give us fruit in the future.
    So excited for all the figs you have. I had enough to make just less than 1/2 a pint of jam last year, it was my favorite garden product of the year. And no, it doesn’t matter if food is less or more expensive grown on your land. The point is you have witnessed its entire life and know the nutritious soil it has grown in, the lack of spraying and the positive environmental impact it has, not only on your land, but the lack of transportation and packaging it took to get it from the land to your kitchen. And, when is the last time you saw jujubes at the grocery store 😉

  7. Safe travel there. Safe travel back. And much fun in between.
    Go shake your tailfeathers…

  8. You are a very powerful in God's love woman, we are honored to be able to listen to all your inspirational words of wisdom ❤

  9. I really needed to hear this today. I'm in a transitional time in my life and hearing you talk about focusing on the things that bring you the most joy is a beautiful reminder.
    Enjoy Scotland…. it's amazing and you deserve it ❤️
