  1. Wow, I guess I didn't get a notification on your last video, makes me mad, we got 2 inches yesterday, no storms, cold today, it's going to warm up this weekend, great to see stuff coming up, yes rain makes such difference, it's still too cool, we could get another frost, your permaculture looks great, Happy Easter sweet friend! Xoxoxo

  2. Yay. Look at that!!!!! Everything looks so good. That bed looks pretty. That spinach looks amazing. I harvested some yesterday. Yay for the summer squash. Love everything. You've received a lot of rain. that's wonderful. Yea, I remember that storm – I was watching it. We got the high winds as well and 1/2 an inch of rain. Love your GARDEN. Praise Jesus for the Rain. AMEN. looking really really good. I'm fixing to do an update as well. Have a wonderful EASTER weekend. God Bless you and your harvest. Bertha in DEL RIO, TEXAS!!!!!

  3. Coming right along! I was wondering how you all did with that severe storm that came through Wednesday. By the time it made it to Tulsa I think we barley got a sprinkle. Husband was off today so we hitched up the flat bed and got soil for my 3 big boxes. i have a ton of space now! It is all ready for me to plant everything tomorrow. Still need to go get mulch to put around and keep weeds under control.

  4. Jill, your garden looks great as you will see in a few weeks for sure. We here in south Mississippi have had some very, very weird storms/tornados etc. for several weeks and my garden seems to be struggling coming up. But, with the glorius rain, those seed necks are a poppin up! I told myself at the end of last year that I was not going to plant any form of squash for 2019 because of those squash/stink bugs. Well, guess what seeds and starts are in the ground now?!?!?! Have you ever used tulle fabric or some kind of netting for insect protection from these horrible bugs? Do they plague your squash plants? What do you do about them? organically? I do not have the strength or knees to peruse every leaf on the topside or underside every day to smash the eggs nor try to race after the adults to anniliate them in some way! What do you do? They just simply take the joys out of gardening altogether for me. Ha Ha. Just too much hard work for them to destroy it!!! Love to you and your family for this Easter weekend and God Bless you and all.

  5. found fire ants in my raised bed,,,i made a jar of borax and sugar as bait. Any other suggestions to get rid of them?

  6. That is a lot of rain! So good for the garden! Thanks for sharing!

  7. Help! I'm beside myself. My neighbor sprayed poison on a big vining tree of poison ivy not 5' from one of my raised beds. She did not tell me she was going to do so and from how the dead pattern looks it seems to have come across the fence and into my yard. My friend told me to ask advise from the county extension office regarding soil testing to see if there is a way to see if that bed is contaminated. I have 400 green onions in that bed. Do you know of any soil testing places that could determine toxicity in soil? Thanks.

  8. I didn't know about the rain doing the garden any good until I started following you! So now I have a rain barrel! Thanks for the videos and info! Maybe add organic compost to your mounds to help with moisture retention? I added coconut fibers to my raised beds and it works!

  9. Hey Jill, thanks for all your gardening videos. I also live in North Texas, Fort worth. I would like to know what variety of strawberries you grow and onions. I'm learning about gardening and it's not easy for me to find somethings I would like to grow in Texas. Thanks!

  10. Great video. Your right about the strange weather. For the last 5 weeks it's been wet. Garden at your place looks good. Sure need a month without rain. My plants need to dry out.
