Name for that spot is “In the middle of hither and yon” 😄
Enjoyed the vlog Jess. Thanks for sharing.
Strawberry Row? 🙂
Strawberry area looks great Jess
Call it The Greenhouse Alley
It looks great!! I would love a more in depth video on 🍓. I live in Texas and have really struggled with them. Thanks Jess. We bless you❤
Strawberry Alley. Because their runners will take over with more strawberries than you’ll know what to do with. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cut the dahlia flowers for the house, it will force the dahlia to produce more.
Hi Jess, I love seeing a video from you. It’s like a hug from my dream farm on my lunch break. 🙏💕🙏 BIG HUG back.
I have planted lots of strawberries this is the second year and never get any blooms and no strawberries😢 suggestions
Toby looks so different all of a sudden. little dude is becoming a full fledge dude.
I was thinking Berry Alley. It's going to be beautiful. 😊
Ooh, I love how you showed the before and after. So satisfying! Well done, Sowards fam and Jesse! 🍓
Have you ever dealt with Gall with your tubers from big box stores? I received some tubers from a friend, and they mentioned the "ziploc bag method" to start the tubers, and to keep them quarantined before planting into my soil. It'll be my first time planting Dahlias this year. I'm excited! The variety is called Saint Martin.
I apologize if you've already addressed my question in past videos. I can feel the warmth from this video here in Minnesota. Home stretch here! 💪🌱 Come on, Spring!
It looks great! I can feel your joy in being back in the garden!
Name idea: Strawberry Alley!
Dahlia lane
This was interesting. Nice to see Jessie working with Ben. Things are looking great. I spent most of the day yesterday trimming our pomegranate tree with my hubby and than my oldest came up to help with his girlfriend. Fille a huge dump basket with all the branches. Waiting for my apple tree to bloom. My peaches and nectarine are bloomed along with nice looking strawberries. The blueberries are forming their fruit. Hopefully will be a good year. Should I put my tomatoes in a different area of my garden so maybe they will do good. Do you add anything under your tomatoes to give them a spring? Wanted to see you plant your Dahlias I got some too and would like to see someone plant them. Hearts and Flowers coming your way. ❤️💐
The measuring of hands made my Momma heart twinge a little for ya🫶😥 it's bitter sweet how fast these kids grow. Seems like just yesterday, little Ben was toddling around the garden behind you. What a fine job you and Miah have done❤
Good job fam!
And Bear…😍
What about calling it Strawberry Valley or Strawberry Hill. ❤
Trying not to spend money, so mixed ng one T. Bal ng soda, 1t. Sugar in 1 liter warm water to pour around strawberry roots (supposed to get bigger berries). You and crew made it awesome. Psalm 91.
This is a great video to watch, while I'm under a blizzard. It's nice to see green.
It’s kinda’ like Diagon Alley in Harry Potter! All sorts of interesting and amazing treasures are found there!
Makes me smile…while Jess was showing us the bulbs she bought at Costco, good ol’ Bear was standing sentinel outside the high tunnel. Such a good boy! ❤️
Something so satisfying about a freshly weeded and amended bed. I can't wait to be able to start the process on mine. The snow is melting but there are a lot of cold nights yet.
High tunnel alley
Good work girl,
I know lots and lots of gardeners that only plant Costco bulbs and every year their flower displays are stunning.
You will think of a name with smooth perfection that delights the ear and wakens the tastebuds. 🍓
My 4 chickens ate every rolly polly in the backyard garden for free and Judy my lavendar orpington ate a giant lizard, gross.
Make little piles with “corn meal” ants will take it to nest, eat it & die, worked last few years in my garden, hopefully this year as well! Can’t hurt to try it🐜
STRAWBERRY ZONE CAUTION ADVISED LOL
