Welcome to the Jefferson Family Page, and thank you for subscribing! We’re so excited to share our journey as a family of six-a teenager, two toddlers and our newest addition. Life is busy, messy, and beautiful, and we’re here to document it all.
Our story began when we moved away from our families for job opportunities, only to meet each other on the beach. We got married, started our family, and have been growing ever since-literally and figuratively!
What you’ll find on our page reflects what we love doing together-gardening because our kids eat a ton of fruit (and let’s face it, fruit is expensive 🤣), traveling, focusing on health and fitness, and, most importantly, raising our family.
We hope our videos inspire and remind you that you can do this too! Thank you for joining us as we navigate life, slow down to enjoy the moments, and share everything we’ve learned along the way. Let’s grow together!

Too cold! Ready though❤
Oh, this wonky weather is definitely something! I’ve started a few seedlings indoors to get stated ☺️. How about you, any plans for the garden this season?
super inspiring. thank you for making this video and sharing!!
Oh, it’s my pleasure! It’s funny because now that we have a 3rd little one, I’ll probably need to revisit these tips myself when I return to work soon from maternity leave. 😊

Hey hey hey 😀
Banana chips are getting harder to find in the store and SO expensive! I was going to look up how to make them and here you are! If they don't all get eaten right away 😂 can they store in the cabinet or should they go in the fridge?
Thank you for watching🫶🏽! You’re absolutely right; banana chips can be so expensive! Once you make your own, you’ll love how easy and budget-friendly they are. To store them, you can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature in the cabinet for about a week. For longer storage, the fridge is great, but make sure they’re completely dry to avoid any moisture issues. But honestly, I didn’t even get to test that out because my husband ate them all as soon as I made them 😆
Wonderful! Banana plants will grow beautiful leaves here in TN but never get enough warm days to fruit. The variety of plants you have is great not just for helping you eat a variety but can also reduce the risk of diseases that attack big orchards with their acres of a single crop.
Thank you so much! You’re so right, bananas can be tricky to fruit in cooler climates. It definitely took us some time to finally get fruit, but once they started, there’s no stopping them now! For TN, don’t lose hope, try growing cold-hardy varieties like Orinoco or Blue Java. You can protect them in winter by mulching heavily around the base or wrapping the trunk to keep it from freezing. Even starting them in pots and moving them indoors during the cold months can help! With some patience and care, you just might get bananas too. And even if they don’t fruit right away, the leaves are beautiful and give such a tropical vibe. Keep at it, you’ve got this!
I love the background chattering and conversations. Mothers have been educating us like this since we developed language. Thank you for continuing the chain, and enjoy your future homegrown lunches!
Thank you so much! I learned from my grandmother, and I’m so happy to be passing this on to my babies. It’s such a joy to keep the chain going! 💕
Hi! I recently subscribed to your husband's channel love his takes on gardening and I'm so glad I found this family channel too. I'm really impressed with your garden and the beautiful oasis you've created together. You're both a lovely couple and I'm excited to see what you accomplish with both your garden and your content! I grow some myself and have been learning from your ole man for a few weeks now. 🇺🇸
Aww, thank you so much! We truly appreciate you joining our family and your kind words. It means so much to us, and we’re so glad to share this journey with you. Wishing you a bountiful harvest of food and joy 💕
Nice 👍 , what variety mango 🥭 did you get. and it’s pushing flower.
Thanks! This is the lemon zest mango 😀.
Lemon Zest is the best that’s no mess!

Beautiful thank you
Awe thanks ❤️
There are different varieties. The African marigold is tall while the French marigolds are short. They're all different in size.
Thanks for sharing! good to know 🫶🏽
So cool
Thank you 😄

Thanks I won’t separate it 🙂
Was wondering if you know how to make Mac and cheese and if so can you do a tutorial on that 😂😂🥰😘❤️
😂😂😂 hmm I can add this to the list of cooking videos. I’ll make sure to tag you when I do 💕
😂😂😂😂😂
😆😆
Great job on the garden ❤
Thank you very much, we are trying🧑🏾🌾
They aren't true to seed.
That’s great to know! I’ve heard that avocados grown from seed can vary quite a bit, so it will be exciting to see how it turns out when it grows. Thank you for sharing your insight
Hopefully you’re not going to eat them. Or the kale or the other one. They are not healthy. Humans can hardly absorb and of the vitamins and minerals in them. This is known biochemistry that professionals don’t tell you. You know what else they don’t tell you, at red meat is where you’ll find all the proper human nutrition and it’s fully absorbed and it’s how humans thrive.
Oh, I wish I could say I’m growing them just for fun, but I genuinely love greens; they’re such an important part of my meals! They’re packed with nutrients like vitamins A, C, and K, and I find them so versatile in cooking. I appreciate your comment and always enjoy learning different perspectives on nutrition
Mustards
Thank you
Mustard greens dear!
Awe man thank you hun 🫶🏽. Time to find a different provider for collard seeds
Mustard
Oh man, I'm really confused because the seed package said Collards 😔
Hmmm looks like Mustards
I guess I will make them tonight and see 😄
You should try a loquat tree which looks ornamental, but it gives great fruits. Another one of my favorite is the mamey Americana (not the sapote one) they are beautiful ornamental trees you can plant in the front yard. For flowers I would like to suggest to introduce some native flowers. Yes, you will go into a rabbit hole on that one. I am getting sucked into it 😅. Good luck to you. You are young and doing a great job.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! We’ve started growing a loquat tree from a seed we got from our neighbor’s tree and really hoping it gives us fruit this year. If not, my son loves making trips over there to grab some from their tree. I think I’m starting to get into more flowers too; I’m slowly understanding the obsession lol! Thanks again for the encouragement and great ideas: and thank you so much we are doing our best 💕
@ it will take a few years to get loquats from a seedling. But you are going to be rewarded knowing you grew it from a seed! 😌
Great to see how your garden is doing at this time of the year. Thanks for sharing🪴💚
Aww, it’s an honor to share! Thanks for joining us. How is your garden coming along this season?
Rinse the beans thoroughly. • Soak them in a bowl of water overnight (8-12 hours). 2. Drain and Rinse: • Drain the beans and rinse them with fresh water. • Place them in a sprouting jar or container with a breathable lid (like cheesecloth or a mesh screen). 3. Keep Moist: • Rinse and drain the beans 2-3 times daily to keep them moist and prevent mold. 4. Monitor Growth: • You’ll notice tiny sprouts starting to emerge within 1-3 days. • Most beans are ready to eat or plant within 2-7 days, depending on the desired sprout length.
I have like 6 moringa trees!
That’s what I’m talking about! What do you like to make with it?
@ green powder to add to smoothies. Not a fan of it raw. I might use some for compost tea!
@@champagnegardening5182oh you gotta try the tea, well I kinda cheat and add blueberries 😆
😮❤
☺️
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽well done little farmers..blessings to you all 🙏🏾
Thank you 💕 sending many many blessings to you as well
Such great aesthetics and functions in a small space. Thank you for sharing your journey and showing people it can be done in small yards. You have built a beautiful space. While I enjoy seeing videos of homesteaders, most of us on 1/4 an acre or less cannot relate. I prefer videos of people in subdivisions because that’s applicable to more people. Having a partner who shares the same joy as you in the garden is absolutely priceless. I cannot say that enough times. I look forward to this journey. I’m subscribing.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! It really means a lot to us. We completely agree; showing what’s possible in smaller yards or subdivisions makes gardening feel more doable for so many of us. And yes, having a partner who shares the same love for the garden is such a gift; it makes the whole process even more fun and rewarding. I’m so glad you’re joining us on this journey, and I can’t wait to share more 😊
That looks soooooo good ❤
Thank you You should try it I know you’ll like it
I used to live beside a Haitian family and they always shared food with us. It was some of the best food I’ve ever had. Man I miss it so much.
I can definitely relate! I grew up with these flavors and cook a lot of the dishes I miss because I don’t live near my mom or have any Haitian restaurants nearby. Once you start experimenting with the flavors you remember, maybe you’ll be able to recreate some of those amazing dishes too! 😊
The Haitian independent soup doesn't take plantain, neither dumplings. My roommate mother cooked it all the time. Your recipe is Jamaican dumplings in everything.
My grandmother and mother made it this way growing up in a Haitian household, and it’s how I’ve always loved it. Honestly, you can add whatever fits your taste-this is just how we enjoy it in our home. 😊
Hi

True statement. Far too many people are in relationships for what they can Get rather than adding to each to make life better. Some people are allergic to peace and kindness!
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective! Gardening together has been such a beautiful way for us to grow, not just plants but also our relationship. Peace and kindness definitely make all the difference in life and love 💕
New subscriber. The flowers against the white trellis look so magical. ❤❤
Thank you for joining us! 😊 The Bougainvillea really shines this time of year; it’s definitely one of my favorite highlights in the garden 🌺
Storing freshly pulled carrots properly can help them stay fresh and crisp for weeks. Here’s how to store them: 1. Prep the Carrots • Remove the greens: Cut off the green tops about an inch above the carrot. The greens draw moisture from the carrot, causing them to wilt. • Don’t wash: If the carrots are dirty, gently brush off any dirt. Washing them before storage can lead to spoilage. Only wash them right before use. 2. Storage Options • Refrigerator: • Place the carrots in a perforated plastic bag or a container with a damp paper towel to maintain humidity. • Store them in the crisper drawer, where the humidity is higher. • Carrots can last up to 3-4 weeks this way. • Root Cellar or Cool, Dark Place: • Layer the carrots in a box or container with sand, sawdust, or peat moss to keep them cool and moist. • Ensure the storage area is dark, with a temperature of 32-40°F (0-4°C) and high humidity. • This method can keep them fresh for several months. 3. Freezing (For Long-Term Storage) • Blanch the carrots: Peel and cut them into your preferred size, blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. • Freeze: Dry the carrots, spread them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen carrots can last up to a year. By following these steps, your fresh carrots will stay sweet and crisp until you’re ready to use them!
Wow I LOVE your garden!!! Your Bougainvillea is absolutely beautiful on that white arbor. What a treat to stumble upon your channel. 💙💚💛🧡💜 Liz
Awww Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed the tour 😊❤ I plan to add more flowers this season ☺️
