Sweet Jess, my friend, just what I needed today. To hear your voice and giggle and see your smile and goodness in your seed boxes. I've been missing my beautiful garden the past few years! New seasons, and now a New season again! Now that I'm alone after losing all my animals and my Mom being in my care last March, times change. Getting myself away from the major commitment of keeping my garden up, so I can travel for my Photography passion & business, health & wellness ventures and visiting family. I have so many seeds that I may be planting again someday, but not now. It warms my heart to have you share yours with me and all who love you as well, thru this comforting time together!
Thank you with Love and Blessings
Deb
Thank you for sharing! I have quite a few that I will be adding to my list.🤣 I totally feel ya about having friends be on the same page”geek” level. Sharing our love for stewarding the land is a joy like no other.
My MI Gardner shipment is on it's way cant wait till Monday! As always jess is an inspiration and such a rolemodel.
Eeeee! This is just what I was WAITING so patiently for!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤭
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😊
I’ve been in a mood. I thought about just throwing wildflower seeds into the garden and let them go. Was not in the mindset to do all the things. Your contagious enthusiasm has me rethinking. I appreciate you!
Wait hold on! I need to grab a cup of tea and a cozy throw and snuggle in for this!
Okay, there, I’m ready! Let’s go Jess! ❤
I love the seed unboxing! ❤️Thank you! I roast my radishes and make a big bowl of potatoe salad without the potatoes!
I'm in SW Ontario Canada, cucamelons are a snacking in the garden thing for me too. Mine came back prolifically for 2 years, then none volunteered last year, and I missed them! I like to grow them on the garden fence, to save space. This video made my day!!
I love squash blossoms. Forget the cheese… just lightly bread the blossom or not and fry.. just the blossom.. heavenly!
Happy Birthday Drew! 🎂🐟🍰🎣🧁🐡🎏🥳🐠
Yay it’s seed time. 😂
is you top from free people?
I love the title of this video- Geek out! I never get tired of seeds haul videos.
"Alaska" nasturtiums are the variegated ones that I grow!
Alaska Nasturtium has varigated leaves
I have been watching your seed hauls for years!!! ❤
I grew cucamelons this year for the first time and my kids went CRAZY for them!!!
Any advantage or disadvantage to buying pelleted seeds?
I live in zone 9B… love pickled beets! I want to plant three types of tomatoes; grape, Roma and slicing tomatoes. Id like strawberries and cucumbers as well. I’ve been looking online to see what is recommended for my zone. I’d like a few herbs as well. Wish me luck!
I didn't know that Botanical Interests includes recipes on their seed packets. But then again, I don't think I've ever fully opened one of their packets.
I keep telling myself, don't garden this year. Take it easy. Let your body heal. Let the garden rest. Then I see your seed collection & I'm reminded. I have so many seeds & I'm truly jonesin' to play in the dirt. Maybe just a little.
Best time to purchase seeds is out of season , you can get great deals. I also do seed saving from my own plants . Greetings 😊
1:01:52 My husband’s grandma had a depression era cookbook that used squash in a LOT of recipes because they take on the flavor of whatever you put on them/with them.
I love all the seeds !! Someday I'll have half the collection you have lol
I love to grow lovage.
Jess you have to try kohlrabi slaw, if you like cabbage slaw you'll love kohlrabi slaw. I'm growing kohlrabi inside in small pots under grow lights and have some golf ball size bulbs and will be enjoying a slaw from them in a couple weeks. I'll take them outside when we stop being in the low 20's and teens at night.
Yay! Seed day!!
It was fun watching you geek out over seeds, I’m sure most of us do the same! I counted 2 chef kisses. My favorite radish is the white icicle, it does well for me. One of my favorite ways to eat them is as an open faced sandwich, the French call them a tartine. So I take a slice of sourdough or artisan bread, slather it with softened butter cover it with thinly sliced radishes in a single layer and then salt with a flaky sea salt. Chef 🧑🍳 kiss! See you in a few days! 💕
Love these videos!!! Always find something I want to try
You can put a reminder on your phone to water the carrots.
