i never get tired of your channel
I love that my algorithm shows me your videos as soon as you post 😊
He's growing up so well! 11? Oh time is flying!
I'm early so I hope you see this- I watch your videos religiously and in the classroom stage of my dream. About a year or 2 away from making a purchase on land/homestead/farm. Your videos provide so much insight. Could you do a video on composting? I know you've done a video or two in the past on worm castings and teas but maybe something really in depth? Thanks for bringing me joy when you upload something!
Spring is springing! 🎉🎉
That was so cute when you were thanking your kiddo. 🥹
Support 👍🏽❤️
I just started to germinate my seeds today. I still have 3 feet of snow, and 2 more months of Winter before anything goes outside. Until then I will get my fix watching your channel. 😊
What an amazing attitude and work ethic your son has. That may be more inspiring than your garden work and that’s saying something!
That is excellent Ben👏. Wow I remember when Ben was a toddler lol😃. Best of luck Ben earning and saving up the money 👍🧑🌾
Thank You!
I needed a roots and refuge video today! 🥹
I am SO convinces this is going to be MY best garden year ever too! I can't wait to follow along with you this year <3 Lets get growing!
Thank u for sharing and yes having family together is the best and I as well hope to have the best garden year 🤞
Jess, you and your family are kind, sweet souls and great humans. God bless you. 😊❤
Looks to me that you are off to a great start and Lord willing it will be your best year yet! Peace and blessings 🤗
That looks like the size of my rose arbor and the lady banks grew 12 feet the first year!
This popped up right as I am about to clean up dinner. Perfect timing!
Happy Birthday Ben! Hope you had a great time!😊
For me, I have to make this the best garden year – regardless of the outcome or the harvest. I just have decide that it is the best year. Any year I can have a garden is the best year, really. Your garden is shaping up – love your enthusiasm every spring and that you keep it real as summer takes it’s toll.
I thought miahs sister was living in the camper ??
There is nothing more satisfying than the look of freshly topped up beds!
It’s a beautiful day ❤
Jess!! It was -2 at my house this morning and I've got feet of snow. This is why I spend my days watching you enjoy your warm weather. 😂
I love your garden and it's such a great idea to have your chickens nearby! I can't wait to see how your garden goes this summer. Much love from Alaska
