Oops! Editing Jess made a mistake. Enjoy the long black screen with Daniels music playing at the end. I didn’t realize I’d forgotten to clip that until after the video was live. 🤷🏻♀️ maybe it can lend you a peaceful moment today to collect your thoughts and take a deep breath. We bless you!
My Mom had an old cast iron tub that she filled with zinnias, sweet potato vines, various other flowers and part of an old bed post. It was the most majestic thing I've ever seen.
Can we get another aireial view of the farm, to compare to the first??? It's almost 1 year!!!! Looks like "DREAMS come true" - which is SO Beautiful!❤️
Jessica, don’t you know that you bless us in every video, with or without your signature “I bless you, until next time” Each time you turn on the camera you bless us with information, inspiration, and encouragement. The blessing is the doing not the saying, I’ll paraphrase James here, If you see someone in need it does no good to say be warmed and filled unless you provide help. Jess, you provide plenty of help. From my point of view, if while you are editing you discover that you didn’t sign off, it is not necessary for you to add a postscript.
When I was a kid our neighbor had a worm farm in an old chest of drawers. He took us fishing almost every weekend and I remember going to the dresser and opening a drawer to pick out a can of worms for bait.
Hey Jess today is Feb 21, 2023. And I just came home from work to find my Amazon package. Yipeeee! And what do you ask is in my Amazon package? Well!!!!!!! YOUR BOOKS!!!! Of course Both of them! Yes both of them. 😂 I bought myself your books as birthday gift from me to me. 👍I’m so captivated by simple the beautiful pictures on the cover I haven’t even opened it up yet. Lol. Outstanding job my friend! I don’t write often but I’m still here and I’m still watching learning and loving you. A few days ago I watched one of your older videos and Sir Bear was 8 months old. Such a sweet little guy ❤. You have worked so hard and come so free and I am so happy to have watched and learned so much from you along the way. God is sooo good. I love you Jess. Don’t change a thing my sweet friend. And thank you for being you. ❤️
My mother's greatest joy was harvesting potatoes with her grandchildren. She cried out like a kid herself as each shovel full of dirt turned over to reveal mountains of potatoes. Lovely music at the end. Thank you.
My grandmother had a sculpture of Hamlet’s Ophellia face that “floated” in a claw foot bathtub filled with a beautiful riot of colour. She lived in a town known for its flowers and her garden was always like a surreal dream and heavy on the literary references.
Just found you and it is so inspiring with you and your friends homesteading and growing, my dream, although I am in my 70s, but have been gardening for 20 years and grew up on a farm, ate all out own food, drank unpastuerized milk for 18 years and I think my immune system has been greatly enhanced by that. So nice to see this going on with you all. I am here in Canada so growing is difficult but love it and keep doing it. It is so soul healing like you say.
Love watching all your videos. I'm saving up for a Green stalk hoping to grow more. I'm disabled and garden from a chair, this year I am teaching my daughter in law and 2 Grand Blessings how to grow food. Thanks for sharing all you do
Can I just say, I loved the Timelapse with the conversion playing over it. Genuinely loved that and will do that if I ever start making videos again! Top notch editing!
Even though it was a mess up, I liked the long musical ending! I was washing dishes while I was watching and this allowed me to close my eyes, relax, listen to the music and have a moment.❤️
Hey Jess. On the topic of what to do with the tub. You should plant all white flowers. Like white geraniums in the middle and white alyssum as filler and white lobilia to cascade over the edge. Like a big over flowing bubble bath!
I live in Northern Alberta, we plant potatoes early May, but I’ve actually had volunteers from previous years. So you just never know we get to -40. Pretty much every winter.
I am waiting to plant my potatoes as it is snowing here in Northern California today. I live close to the ocean and it rarely snows here. We have also had above normal rain which has ended the drought that we have had for the last two years.
I thought this was crazy when I heard it. 😂 But it totally works! 🙌🏻 Put a banana peel in a mason jar of water for a day or two then pour only the water at the base of each tomato plant. Each time we have done this, SO many new tomatoes blossoms have popped up and the plants are getting taller! Apparently, potassium is BIG for tomato plants
it would be so beautiful if you lit up the stained glass table from underneath so it kind of glows in the greenhouse! strip lighting is pretty cheap on amazon.
A gardener local to me plants potatoes when the dandelions first start to bloom, so by that you have great timing. Takes them a couple weeks to work out of the ground anyway and it is only the leaves that get effected by frost. Going to try a few potatoes this year. They are a major industrial crop in my province so I am cautious about how much pest pressure we will have since I won't be spraying. Fingers crossed!
I could not help but laugh when the wind and the tarp ordeal. We always plant long rows of potatoes, and it seems like you never will get to the end when hilling them or picking them. We tend to pick a 5 gallon bucket at a time til closer to the cold weather. They have survived through some cold weather, too.
Love watching your farm grow! Seeing all the grazing animals behind the potato garden was such a lovely reminder of Gods goodness! I am so overjoyed to watch God work in your life. You inspired me to grow my own garden and it has become my absolute passion!
U inspire me I love your devotionals! When I'm having a hard time getting started I'll watch your video an suddenly can't wait to get out there lol. So thank you an may god bless you an your family.
That cast iron tub 😍 growing up, I had friends that had fish in a cast iron tub with some aquatic plants and it was so pretty! They would take the fish inside for the winter because it definitely gets too cold here in 6B. I think that would be lovely in your gardens!
We're in northwest Georgia and our first spears of asparagus began breaking ground just before last week's frost, so we covered the bed in almost clear plastic. The next day was above 50 degrees (F), so we removed the cover and found the remaining crowns had all sent up at least one spear each! I don't know if this is normal timing for our region, as we only planted the crowns last year, but we are certainly excited to see the spears growing so quickly!
We got a antique tub we moved from home to home until we installed it in our remodeled bathroom. We had the feet brassed and painted the rest. We have a great tub with a chandelier overhead. ❤
We are a fairly new RUclips Channel just trying to grow our subscriber numbers and we are very inspired by your channel, we grow a very large garden and try to be self sustainable here at our homestead so we definitely have enjoyed watching your growth and love your gardening tips, keep up the good work 👏
I plant my potatoes on st Patrick's day every year, most the time the ground is still frozen it's like 10+ weeks from our last frost and I've never had an issue
I’m in Kansas (last frost around April 15/22) and my dad always planted his potatoes around St Patrick’s day - that’s just what he always said to do so that’s what I do. Seems to work out just fine 😊
I love growing potatoes & sweet potatoes. I love the whole processes. With sweet potatoes you need very light and airy soil for them to grow so mine didn’t do well last year. I grew Yukon gold in containers and those did do well. I read somewhere that you also need bone meal in all your root vegetable gardens? Experimenting this season
I noticed your bathtub and remember seeing where someone made a coffee table out of theirs by placing a piece of butcher block in the center and plants spilling out on the ends! It was so pretty sitting on their front porch! Just an idea!😁
Lovely ending! How are your little hybrid piglets doing? Getting excited for your incubator setting. More baby "chips" for Ben! Blessings on your day Kiddo!🥰🌻🐛💕
There have been some great water gardens in bathtubs - pond plants. Would also be fun to see the tub planted with something that looks like soapsuds overflowing - some creeping plants, snow in Summer, baby's breath, any white flowering creepers.
I have a pink cast iron tub that we removed from my moms house that a water garden might look cool in! It's not a claw foot tub, just a regular one though. Still, I hated to throw it out being pink! Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm surprised you don't have a favourite potato Jess. My favourites are Jersey Royals and Charlotts for waxy new potatoes, or even a pink fir apple. For a standard potato I buy Maris Piper or King Edward, they make great mash, chips and roasts. That's us in the UK. I've not been able to buy Charlottes for 2 years in supermarkets here, so I got some seed potatoes, they are chitting nicely in my porch. This year I WILL have charlotte potatoes... *stamps foot*.
My asparagus are up already (Upstate SC). They’re from seed and in their 3rd season so I’m going to wait until next year to start harvesting and add some more starts to the bed this year too. 😊they didn’t spread much but they are thick spears so idk 🤷♀️
Personal note dear: always look under side by side before driving, cats and kittens like to lay down under tires to get shade. I’ve had a personal tragedy with a kitten and a tire on a trailer. Love your videos. Good luck with this season, you guys are ready.
I have two bush cherries. Romeo and Juliet are the brands. I went back last year to see if i could get more and the local greenhouse wasn't carrying them anymore:(
In your bath tub…. How about a water garden with some sort of recirculating water feature? Maybe an old hand pump rigged to recirculate the water. Possibly a fish or two.
I always loved harvesting potatoes as a kid. I would follow behind and pick up the little ones that fell out of the crate for ‘lollipop’ potatoes (mini potatoes fried in brown butter). Have you guys thought about digging a root cellar for storing your potatoes?
In 2022, we grew red, yellow, and purple potatoes. Our purple ones were super performers, though we found they don’t have a long storage life. The red potatoes were the lackluster ones for us. We just didn’t get many. The Yukon golds were, as always, a consistently strong producer. In western PA with a FF around the end of May, we also will put potatoes in before the FF. Usually by late March. We watch detailed weather forecasts these days. Younger self never dreamed I would pay so much attention to the weather! 😂
Here in South Dakota I plant taters three weeks before last frost, depending on forecast. Works pretty good! My favorites are Pinto Gold, Yellow Banana and French Fingerling.
I am doing potatoes in the ground for the first time this year! I’ve previously done them in pots so I can harvest one at a time, especially with young kids 😆 but this year I’m going for in ground since I have my bigger garden space. I can’t wait to see how they do!
I see that the wood on your raised beds could use a touch up. If/when you do that, consider using Sikkins Cetol. It's what a lot of us sailors use to keep the wood on our boats looking good, and it's very easy to touch up.
I plan to grow a lot of potatoes this year after having to pay $5.00 for 5 lbs! And I just watched Charles Dowding comparing compost for potatoes grown in soil bags!

Jamming it out 😂
I was just going to comment how much I'm enjoying the extra bit of time with Daniel's music ❤️
I like it. It's nice to work with that gentle guitar playing in the background.
Absolutely love the music at the end! Wouldn't mind more vlogs having a relaxing wind down at the end ♥️ does Daniel have a channel with his music?
I like it
I am ready for a devotional from Jess 💚
They are always so good. ❤️
I laughed so loud at the kiddo going, "in the actual air!?!" That my cat got very upset with me. I still think it's funny
My Mom had an old cast iron tub that she filled with zinnias, sweet potato vines, various other flowers and part of an old bed post. It was the most majestic thing I've ever seen.

Daniel playing at the end was the gift that I needed today. It was extremely peaceful. 💕 Thank you, Jess!
Daniel has his music on Spotify. Daniel Smith. He has such a beautiful soul.
the bath tub would make a great water feature in the middle of your raised beds, Miah has great skills to make it look like the tap is running x
Those Lil Guys are the PERFECT REPRESENTATION of what childhood should look like 👍 keep up the great work 👍
The Doukabour elders in my community always said....once there are dandelions you can plant potatoes.
When I was a kid our neighbor had a worm farm in an old chest of drawers. He took us fishing almost every weekend and I remember going to the dresser and opening a drawer to pick out a can of worms for bait.
My grandpa had a worm box he fed coffee and scraps to. He fished and Granma used the soil they made for her garden… win-win🪱🪱🪱🐝🐞🌸🌼🦋🎚🕊🙏🏼🪺💞

LOVE IT!
Oh, my goodness! That sounds like the perfect garden! How lovely!
The way you said "this place is about to change in a pretty big way" reminded me of all the OG garden tours and how you talked then 💚
So nice to see you feeling better! Honestly we will take you any way we can get you!
Just found you and it is so inspiring with you and your friends homesteading and growing, my dream, although I am in my 70s, but have been gardening for 20 years and grew up on a farm, ate all out own food, drank unpastuerized milk for 18 years and I think my immune system has been greatly enhanced by that.

Another morning cup of coffee with my friend, Jess. ☕️ What a lucky lady I am!
Anyone else hear Jess getting a little more of a southern accent lately?♡
I was about to comment just that!
I thought that was my imagination!
Isn’t it adorable 🥰. She’s so smart and soothing like sweet tea on a hot afternoon 🌻🌺🌸🌼🌹🐞🦋🐩🎚🕊🙏🏼
It is beautiful, one of my favourite accents in the whole wide world… I don’t hear it much here in the UK 😂 Jess makes me wanna plan a visit!
It's really soothing and fits her well!♡
The best information I received is early varieties, midseason varieties and late varieties best way to stagger your planting
This is especially true for strawberries. You can easily get overwhelmed by them all ripening at once, even if you're on top of the jam making.
I giggled at Jess’s tone when she referred to the ‘freshly dug graves’ from last year.
Can I just say, I loved the Timelapse with the conversion playing over it. Genuinely loved that and will do that if I ever start making videos again! Top notch editing!

That bath would make a gorgeous water lily garden (or other water plants), especially with little fish darting about.

Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there
3:11 This shot of your greenhouse…just WOW! Colour saturation to the max!
So fun to listen to Will and the boys talk about skydiving
My fondest memory growing up is when we had planted potatoes and I kept digging them up and there was potato after potato and it never stopped
For the tub, something that looks like bubbles would be so cute! Smaller mounding flowers.

Hello dear friend Jess❤️❤️❤️ so lovely to see your face this wonderful afternoon.
Going to be a good year for your garden! I can tell! ❤
Good luck! The Bermuda grass heartache is real!
I saw another gardener with an old claw foot tub bursting with lantana-I never thought I liked lantana but it looked good in that tub ❤
I love the flower stained glass in your greenhouse 🥰
it would be so beautiful if you lit up the stained glass table from underneath so it kind of glows in the greenhouse! strip lighting is pretty cheap on amazon.

Jess just cares about wills tarps. And everything. It’s very nice. (Borat impression)
Bless you Jess !
you are brave with those tarps. I pulled mine back last year and dragged around a snake.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there??????
I would plant supertunias from Proven Winners in that tub. You won't regret. It will be the beauty in the garden (after you haha).
Thanks for the tip!

I'd love to see what you are doing for worms/worm castings on your farm
Your skin seems to have cleared up beautifully! And what a wonderful spring feeling, here in SW Finland we just got a foot of snow.
your southern acent doesnt shine often but get you to talking about potatos and it glows lol!
Enjoyed this video
Was it just me, or did watching Jess and Will try and fold that tarp remind you of trying to fold a fitted sheet??
Never enough potatoes!!! Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait! I want 500 pounds this year with cream of chicken gravy.

Heartbreaking but a good warning.
My vote on the clawfoot tub is a water feature complete with fish to eat any mosquito larvae, lotus, duckweed, and papyrus.
I have two bush cherries. Romeo and Juliet are the brands. I went back last year to see if i could get more and the local greenhouse wasn't carrying them anymore:(

There was nothing in the description about kite flying. That was pretty wild. It looked like a good bunch of fun though. I bless you as well.
