Loving your knit sweater!! Gorgeous color!
Iβve actually taken time to investigate amendments and doing seed starting this year. So so hopeful.
I feel the same way about calling it a new year comes in the "dead" of winter, as it were. I wonder if you've gotten any pushback on that? The number of people that think I'm strange because I count the first hints of spring as the actual new year is bonkers. I guess a lot of people don't necessarily question convention.
Oh Yea! I wait every year for my favorite time with you. Gardening season!! Bring it on.
A visit to that cold would be enough for me! Good GOT reference! ππππ
We call the spring baby frogs peepers here in PA. My most favorite spring sound β€οΈ
I live in south Louisiana and found 2 asparagus in my garden bed a couple of days ago. So excited for this garden season!
Thank you for another great video.
I heard the frogs for the first time today and it made my heart happy. Spring is coming!
Was that peeper# I heard?
So excited for garden season! Its been super mild up here in the PNW (my fennel overwintered with no protection!) and today is sunny and upper 50's F. I just got a fresh layer of compost on my beds today and next week is direct sowing my greens and carrots!
I knit and crochet. Been crocheting 52 years and knitting 12.
Can ypu show us the things you crochet please? I love crochet and would l8ke to see what you have made.
Spring delusional at my house too!
Excited that it is a new garden season with you. β€
Jess, the color of that sweater is gonna look great on you! I taught myself to knit a few years ago by watching YouTube, and love it! Iβd always been a crocheter, so continental knitting was so much easier for me to pick up. I use the Norwegian purl for purling. π§ΆI live in N Georgia and started my cooler weather plants Sunday afternoon! The arugula, thyme, and calendula are already popping up! π₯¬πΌ
Enjoy you two β€

Thank you for sharing, that sunset is absolutely beautiful!
Jessica ,what tubing you have in your tunnel for irrigation ,I think itβs works better on high beds than flat tape I have now
Thanks!
REALLY loved this video Jess!! This is like the usual Jess videos we know and love – just you talking to us, sharing your thoughts, your garden, your knitting, THANKYOU!!!
