  1. I take my lawnmower and run over all my Hostas. They come back ever year full and beautiful!

  2. I love walking with you among all your plants! I’d like to reassure you that it’ll all get done…but I haven’t taken my own advice yet😜 Let’s just give ourselves some grace. Thanks for the tour!❤

  3. We use our Calamondin oranges as a substitute for limes to make key lime pie. I actually like it better than using limes.

  4. I really enjoyed this tour. I find the landscape with fall colors and stark bare trees beautiful in its own way. Not as exciting as the lushness of spring and summer, but it has a quiet, understated beauty that whispers “rest”. Rest and enjoy the fruit of your labor and immediately of course the gardner turns their eye to the next season and even though the present vision yields a barrenness the gardeners eye beholds a vision that is yet to come.
    Enough waxing poetic- I think you need a high tunnel for all those overwintering babies because you know they will multiply. It just happens somehow!

  5. It's amazing how the landscape changes with the seasons and while we are sad it is not the same, it is still just as beautiful. Thanks so much for the updated tour and sharing your awesome homestead.

  6. AREN'T YOUR PILES OF WOOD CHIPS HEATING UP?! I'd be concerned about them setting aflame the area, and everything being so dry!! You've got some wonderful areas to install a small high tunnel to grow….grow….grow!!

  7. Hello kaye, oh thankyou another simp.y lovely tour around your beautiful homestead, just lovely, yep those changes from summer to autumn then later autumn, still looking lovely, the darling 🌲 doing so well,your house looks so cosy and warm very beautiful sun room and cosy chairs, thst christmas holiday cactus whow!perfect they love that room..tiger looks beautiful too aww!they are darling s the kitties, it was a real treat thsnkyou so much,can't wait for the next one .xxgod bless, xxxx

  8. Thank You Kaye, the flora and fauna of Tennessee amazes me! Every time I work on an area something new pops up, from some bottom-land in Snowflake holler. Your botanical knowledge is helpful! Have a wonderful Holiday Season! 😊

  9. Beautiful tour. We are flatland central Illinois. We have 2 aronia bushes. We didn't like to eat them even though it was a good harvest each year so we froze them. We found we can put them in with the elderberries for the immune syrup. It's a good thing we had frozen from last year because it was a bad year for them and birds must have gotten what was there. The birds have never bothered them before. No elderberry bushes yet. Blessings

  10. I just love love love your home! The yard, the house, everything! It's just so charming and such a sweet peaceful looking place.

  11. Don't burn your brush piles. There are lots of critters living in there, like lizards and even birds. Just let it compost. The outbuildings would look really nice in a soft gray green…good idea.

  12. You home is beautiful! I would love the peaceful quietness of your haven. Someday I will live in a place to enjoy that as well.

  13. your yard is beautiful. it does take time to get things in order. that sun room is beautiful. and your plants look great. in that one garden bed it looks like you have gophers under the ground. i have them really bad in my yard right now. they are hard to get rid of and can be a little but hole lol. but, in time we will take care of them. enjoyed the video today. take care .

  14. Good looking yards Kaye! Don't be hard on yourself. Be encouraged. I sure love Middle and East Tennessee in fall and early winter – so pretty. We also had a low rock wall like yours at a former 6 acre place we used to have on the Plateau. Must have been something many did? In addition to maybe having burn piles, perhaps you can purchase a gas powered shredder to do something with smaller branches and such you do not wish to use for firewood? Just an idea.

  15. Kaye, you can hand pollinate flowers by blowing on them gently or brushing them gently with a tiny paint brush 🌺

  16. Nice looking homestead. The rocks were probably from clearing and plowing and workers picked up the rocks and made walls. Have repurposed the rocks doing masonry work and a lot of farmers will let you have them for the price of removing them.

  17. If I lived closer, I would suggest a workday where we all come and pitch in to help you out! That’s a lot of work for one person🤪
