Just a thought- have you thought of organizing an Azure drop in your town? Would there enough enough demand? I have no idea of the drop amount requirements, but it seems like it could be worth it to investigate…
Zone 5b here and I am the same; I am burnt out by the end of my summer garden. Thanks for sharing your plan.
Prepare in wisdom, not in fear! Love that!
Great job! I should follow your advice.
If there are any dollar stores near you, check those for household supplies. Ours has groceries too so we can get bread and fruits and vegetables much cheaper than any other store.
I'm 5B and basically garden year around. Rather it's outside or inside.
Cilantro likes cool better than warm temp
Jessica, what is your gardening zone? Maybe I missed you saying it.
Well done ! I've grocery planned like this for a long time. It really is worth our time to do it. It all adds up. tfs Hope you are feeling well. 🥰🌞🌛💐☔💗✝
Pretty mind boggling to pay $30 for 5.72 gallons of gas.
I live in a farming community and the local stores don't have garden plants after spring, and mostly no seed either.
I looked at last year’s challenge for every little bit counts. I’ve continued that tradition throughout the whole year. Thanks for the ideas
Jessica, thank you for breaking the fall garden plan down so simply and perfectly organized. And I appreciate your encouragement and great ideas. 🌺💕
This is the government regime they’re corrupt ,save America vote red !
Great advice Jessica!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this great information! I am planting my first fall garden this year in south Mississippi and I am so nervous! I do not like to do all the work and messing up! 🤦🏼♀️
Thank you for this post! I have just discovered your channel and appreciate all that you share. Blessings ❤
I realize this is an older video however I really wanted to comment I love Aldi! We have been shopping there since 1992 I don't know when they opened but that is when a store opened in our area. To this day I love their products. Their bread is my favorite and we find many deals to help our food costs. This year I started canning again, we put up 56 quarts of green beans, 12 pints of tomato sauce and many quarts of salsa
We live in Indiana and I will be planting broccoli and cabbage and cauliflower soon. We are very fortunate our local farm store does bring in plants. I have learned a lot from your channel even though I'm 60 yrs old
We homescholled our 2 daughters when it wasn't as popular as today and they both are RNs so I guess we did OK
Thank you for all your efforts you put into your videos. I for one really appreciate it!
Very inspiring!
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos, I love it! As a mom of 5 here I’m learning a lot from you that I think will help me dramatically I’m my homemaking! I really want to start my own garden, we don’t have a lot of space but could use my deck!
You are right about Sams Club they don’t have much for organic, we get the frozen bags of organic blueberries and strawberries, they are both 3lb bags I believe and just under $10, and we get bags of organic carrots but that’s about it. Allergies make it hard, we are plant based, gluten free and grain free for me, avoid added sugars and additives but it’s doable!
So I tried your blueberry muffin recipe today and my family loved them!! 😀
Yay for garden planning!
Adam gets a wee holiday every day when he goes to work.
another good one….one thing I would add is to watch for a store's "loss leader"….these are items that the store doesn't make any money on but uses it to entice you to come in and shop…..
😆you don't grow a cow, duck or chicken or eggs you raise a cow, duck, chicken and the chickens give eggs. Too cute.
I just see so much emphasis on organic. I was a big organic food person paying extra. 6 years ago I go colorectal cancer and a year ago it came back in my liver as a tumor. I have come to realize God gives you what He wants you to have. I started putting my energy into doing things for people instead of stressing on food.
So educational love this information thank you for your knowledge
I'm between zone 11 and 12 so the first frost will be Nov. I can still get some seeds some are on sale atm so I stocked up on them for the spring. Pop them in a cool dark place or in a mylar bag to keep them moisture free. I love your channel you are so talented 💖
I really enjoy hearing your thought processes on these things. I have four small children and can’t homestead yet, but I make a lot from scratch and love to price compare. I’m still figuring out the gardening thing as we only have a small garden this year.
This year is my first attempt at a fall garden. I'm excited about trying something new plus my summer garden had lots of struggles. It's been soooo hot! Zone 8b.
Some things have done well, but not a single tomato or tamatillo! I've done what I've always done- I'm at a loss?
I'm chalking it up to God teaching me what to do and not to do. Learning new skills is a both are blessing and a challenge.
🙏 Up for everyone's garden and harvest.
Dear prepair the foodseeds ,!! its inportend for the next years belive me, drying thr seeds from the fruits or greens and you have for the next year many greetings from Maja in the Nederlands God bles you.
Thank you for all your wonderful information. I know no one here in Halifax, Nova Scotia that does fall gardening. I am the same zone as you.
Thank you for breaking it all down like that. This is going to help our family out. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your garden plan! I've tried using a calendar in a different way and it was too much. Your way simplifies it quite a bit. I love the way your brain works!
Do you ever do AMAs? I have so many questions on price comparing nut milks vs store bought, syrup free ketchup, etc. 👩🏻💻 I’m making a list to Google.
ATLANTIC SPICE CO. HAS GREAT DEALS ON spices per pound.
The other thing about Azure is that they add 6.5% for shipping, at least for my drop. That's in addition to whatever it costs for travel to the drop.
The lowest price I find for cashews at Azure is $6.62 a pound if you by 50 lbs. I would like to try making the milk for my adult son who has Crohn’s. He gets infusions every two months and while it helps some it is still pretty bad. He and his wife have two small children and I don’t think we could get through 50 lbs fast enough.
Love watching your channel and thank you for your insights.
Hey . Just thought I would let you know I participated in the August challenge. I had 88 items put up for the 31 days where it was canning, freezing or dehydrated foods.
All i have to say is out of all 4 of the farms i watch and enjoy until i find my property After loosing 80 acres here in oregon Due to being shot off my horse and no help. I love Honesty. you and mrs heart both are very honest. so what your life is so busy with the kids and the farm. people do not realise what it takes to grow food for a year for 1 person Let alone a family of 4 and you have 10 ? Sweetheart DO NOT ever apologize for being a loving family a awesome mother and a farmer . if life didnt have ups and downs would it be any fun ? I do not think so. I found my strength in god and i found my strength in myself . very rarely do i see other show their strength . thank you for being you when you post the videos . ive left other youtubers as they got arrogant and decetful and became more of a sales company then just having a good time gardening. THANK you . PS is your able since i did get shot in the head and am missing 1/4 of my brain Could you do a show on Good brain food and suggest a good english writing class for me ? I graduated high school at 14 but since i got shot i lost my punctuation i just cant seem to use is as i should and people get lost in my words
i take hours for shopping. I watched a women with 3 carts of meat the other day Spend 5.00 after using all of her coupons. from 800 – 5 Dollars i wish i had her knowledge
Month after month I have now noticed too I need to make some change cause my budget is having a hard time here in Ca!. Gas is 5.69, eggs over 5 and my hens are slacking their feed is up $7 dog food up $14 chicken, milk, bread, coffee is up $9. We have sams, windows and the dollar store where I find good deals. I hate Walmart it’s so expensive compared to rest. I can’t imagine people in my state and how they are struggling
I really love your channel. At first I was a little put off by the religiosity but now I realize you’re not evangelical or trying to push your beliefs on others. I very much believe in God, just not sure on the religion part. Anyway, I’ve had 4 MCs and your story has helped me. I’m finally pregnant again 13+4! And she’s growing beautifully. NIPT came back negative which is wonderful. I’ve never gotten to hear a HB before so I’m so grateful for this time. All I can do is pray and take it week by week.
