Now you know how we felt meeting you.
That is so sweet!
100%
Exactly!! Meeting both of them was amazing, but I have been following Jess for longer and it felt like finally meet a good long distance friend who didn’t know we were friends (😂).
yep i bawled when meeting jess
Ya I was too scared, shy 🤭 to hug her even though I wanted to...
You are our Charles Dowding Jess! Happy 4th!
Exactly Jess is a major blessing
Yes she is for me as well :) actually I adore Jess and Charles is okay I’m sure but he doesn’t grab me like Jess does. I so relate to her.
Oh my gosh! Charle's my hero as well. Seeing the two of together? I teared up, what a blessing!
same! couldn't find the like button fast enough🤩
@kathypfeiffer1196 yes! I WAS CRYING! AND LAUGHING! SERIOUSLY WHAT A COMBO--PERHAPS JESS & CHARLES SHOULD TRAVEL TOGETHER FOR A "YEAR" TOUR --THE NO-DIG HOMESTEADER TOUR!! 🥰🥰
Oh, what a sweet video. I'm so glad you got to meet him.
Being in Vermont, I will absolutely be at the New England conference!!
I cried too
I just cried…..😊
Charles Dowding is so CALMING to listen to....love him! ❤
He is! I made a comment on one of his videos a few years ago telling him that his videos should be shown in doctors and ER waiting rooms because it would calm people down. He replied, "from your lips to their ears!". I was so happy just that he replied to me. Like Jess, he's my gardening hero.
Jess, you were just glowing when you were talking to Charles. Your smile could not have been any bigger. I love Charles too!
❤ "We multiply the culture of our heart." ❤
NO WAY!! AAAHHHA 😂😂😂😂 Girl! GIRL!! Are you serious? How fun! Oh my gosh...❤🙏🏼
OUR BEDTIME STORY was your 2018 garden tours when my now 12 yr old, was little. Lol❤❤❤
You touched everyone in Idaho at the Modern Homestead Conference 6/28&29. Especially your 3rd session!
Where in idaho
@@melissashreve2400 it was coeur d Alene Idaho
HOW EXCITING FOR YOU!! I am so happy for you to have been able to meet him in person! Frame your picture of you two and hang it in your greenhouse!
I like to say,” I smile to say what I cannot express with words”
It was so awesome to meet you both--all of you: you, Charles, Miah!!! (Awesome is not even a perfect enough word--thrilled/honored/perfect) 🎉❤🎉❤ I have a mile long list to talk to you all about and then I'm all "star struck".😂😭
Kol was tickled to have all of you sign his cast--esp Sweet Miah. 🥰🥰
Trust me--we in the Midwest appreciate y'all coming this way. (The kids will get to see so much of the world if they get to travel with you.🤩🤩)
I'm still emotional from meeting you last weekend. I also don't have the words to process all that happened at the modern homesteading conference. It definitely is inspiring and impactful to meet your hero and so many like minded folks around you. So glad you got to meet my miracle baby!
As I am sitting here watching this listening to Jess speak about Charles. Jess, this is the same feeling 99% of your viewers feel about you. After waiting 7 months from the time I purchased my tickets to getting to meet you, that evening my husband asked "Well how was your dream come true day?" I said, "I can't even explain. She touched my heart more then you could ever know. She is just as amazing in person as I have felt about her for 5.5 years" ❤ Jess and Miah you are special special people and I feel blessed just getting to meet you! 🥰
I am 61 and trying to to grow a small homestead and garden unfortunately after selling my house in Pa and moving to a fixer upper in Nc my husband of 40 years suddenly passed away, so I am doing this pretty much alone. I so ish I could find like minded people near me to bounce ideas off of and give and get suggestions on what I can do to make this place the place me and my husband wanted it to be. So I watch all the videos I can on this journey and I’m so thankful for your channel and others like yours! Thank you!
As soon as I saw that dibbler in your hand I had tears in my eyes. It was my first event of this type and we came home with so much inspiration.
So glad you got to meet Charles!!!
Thank YOU for being a content creator and for sharing your knowledge with all of us … stay blessed
Wow my 2 gardening heroes! 🤩
Yes I totally agree Jess. Charles is a blessing and being in his presence either online or in the flesh you can feel his humility and amazing energy.
P.s. He loves to garden in bare feet (when the weather is nice here in the Uk ❤️🇬🇧)
Charles really comes across genuinely. It will be a gift to meet you at HONE🥰
❤”he’s a real man” omg that statement just made my heart swell 🥰💕
When you introduced Charles as your gardening hero my brain thought you were going to say guardian angel for some reason so now I welcome you to refer to him as your ‘gardening angel’ as you would be for many of us! I think we’ve inadvertently coined a new term here at Roots and Refuge my Gardening Angel! X❤️X. Much love!! Thanks for all you teach us and thanks for sharing this most special day in your life with us!
Charles’s voice is so relaxing in his videos. He is great because he shows what goes wrong for him as well so it is encouraging.
OH! When I saw the dibber in your hand tears sprung to my eyes...He was such a gem and lovely to meet him at Murray Fest.
Dear Jess, you are my Charles. If ,time and finances were not a problem, I would be there at the New England Homesteaders just to see you my friend and sister in Christ.
Stay safe, and God bless you, my friend. 🌱🐄🐖🐐🐓🌱 Lisa
Hello Jessica, this is Mark Stewart Wilson. I want to start out by saying when I was very young my grandfather and my biological dad taught me how to garden over the years. I could not garden because I moved all over the country and as of 20:08 around there I took a Master garden class and I passed. That taught me a lot more about gardening and I'm in a class right now to finish out knowing all about other things other than what the Master Gardener class taught me. It's been many years since I've done my last class of gardening, but I want to get into gardening next year to have it sustainable vegetable garden, herb garden and a flower garden. I do want to say I found your RUclips channel by accident. You and Maya have been my inspiration. I'm wanting to do a garden all over again for sustainable living. I like what you're doing right now but getting back to the heat of things I've been with you almost since day one when you put out your first RUclips channel.
The true wonderment and admiration that runs. through you when you talk about the folks who've inspired and influenced you the most is palpable and makes us love and enjoy your content more and more every day.! And now the fact that you understand that those same things makes us love and admire not only your content but you and your beautiful husband and beautiful family as well. Do you get it girl you're all that
Ahhhh!! That's so amazing!!
Ahhh...the Dali Lama of Gardening. AWESOME!!!
I am so happy you met Charles! I actually wanted to go to that conference, but I could not pull it off. However, come September I will be going to Homesteaders of New England to meet one of my gardening heroes, You! I can’t wait to welcome you to New England! See you then!
It was so nice seeing you be a fangirl! Especially for someone who is as sincere and sweet in spirit as Charles.
It's because of Mr. Dowding I plant all my potatoes in no-dig. Love listening to both of you. So many thanks!
I imagine myself being as delighted to meet you as much as you were to meet Charles. I think a lot of us found our peace and pace in the garden through you Jess. You are gift to us. We love you!
So true!
I can't express how much I love seeing the two of you together!!! Please do it again!!!
I have followed him for years he is so knowledgeable have a wonderful day
How awesome for you Jess to meet Charles Dowding. I love that man. He is a pleasure to watch in the garden and he has a magnificent voice. So happy for you😊😊. Much love ❤ to you and the family. God bless you all ❤
It's so amazing you got to meet him. I have happy tears over here 😭
Jess I have to say how much healthier you are looking. I am so glad that you are getting healthy again. I love you!
I have been blessed to meet you twice and everything you describe about Charles, is what I feel when i meet you. And when I watch your videos you've taught me about the garden AND life. You are a blessing. Thank you! ❤️
I am completely overjoyed to see you two together.. you both are part of my regular dose of RUclips time... as a landscape designer who decided to start growing food He has literally revolutionary my approach and he was (and is )so so generous when sharing my progress and challenges right in the comments .. and would comment back with real information and I was completely surprised and over the moon when he even had wished me birthdays wishes ...This man is all heart...❣ Would love to see you visit him in England -- of course with the whole family!
Aww you made my heart melt … I live I. The Uk I watch Charles all the time he is the sweetest guy… but I found you in 2019 and you are my American Charles haha .. I am so glad you got to meet him Xxx
Two of my heroes together. It doesn't get any better. We love you!
I've been anxiously awaiting this video!!! I'm so happy y'all got to meet, how wonderful! I can't wait to hear the full recap of the weekend!
You and Charles are my heroes too! I have tears in my eyes hearing how you felt together! Peace and Blessings 🐝🌱🌻
I love Charles! How amazing for you 🎉
All of the things you said about meeting Charles is how I felt getting to meet you last Saturday morning in Idaho.❤
Two of my most favorite gardening experts in one place? Heaven ❤️ Love this Jess!
I found you when I began my gardening journey back in 2019. I have been encouraged, taught so much, inspired and blessed by you, your family and friends. You are my hero and I am pretty sure I would cry meeting you.
Piddling is what my Kentucky dad used to say. I live in a climate like Charles' . Ben is such a sweetheart! I think I've been watching since Ben was 3 or maybe 4 and I adore your children!
You are sooo sweet and real. Loved everything about your excitement
Jess, you should make a wooden plaque with a spot for the photo of you and Mr. Dowding and some sort of hook you can hang your tool on next to it. Then you will always have a special place to return it! Happy 4th to all of your family, and to all the U.S. gardeners out there!! 🤗🎉🇺🇸🎉🇺🇸🎉
We don't get to see you go all fangirl too often...it's really sweet. 💚
Lightly spray varnish on the signature. Do several light layers of spray and let it dry in between. When I used to tile paint and sign things that is what I did.
How wonderful!! I adore you both. 💕
I didn’t know who he was until you first mentioned his name yrs ago in a video. I was so thrilled that you got to meet Charles in person!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
😭😭😭so beautiful...all the yes. To much depth for a RUclips comment but all the yes. This is how we felt getting to meet you. Your character shines even brighter in real life, what an encouragement you are. Opposite but similarly, my six year old daughter and I have morning apple snack and watch a Jess a lot of mornings. How cool for it to come full circle for you ❤️ so special to hear you talk about your garden hero.
Both of you are treasures indeed!
I would cry if I got to meet Charles Dowding too lol. That was lovely. 😊
The first commandment that God gave earth was be fruitful and multiply! Your family videos are is proof that Gods word will not come back void! I’ve got 20 years on you, but I’m only in my third year of gardening. You don’t know how much I respect those beautiful extra large banana peppers of yours. A sign of Gods abundance! Have a blessed Independence Day! Shalom!
I put in drip irrigation tape this year. I bought my system from Berry Hill Irrigation in VA. Between that and the weed barrier that we put down; it has been a game changer. My garden is busting at the seams this year. Love Charles! Been watching him for years
The pure emotion in both of your eyes 🥺😭🥰 such a BEAUTIFUL and WIDLY HUMAN moment captured between 2 people...Just WOW! Makes my heart all warm and fuzzy! ❤ both of you are just precious and I'm so grateful to be a part of this community and have the opportunity to learn from such sweet souls! 😊
What a treat! I'm so excited for you. 😊
You seeing Charles and incorporating his practices is like me taking your constant advice is like me taking your advice and finally moving forward with big things. I’ve followed you since the days of you sitting on your table and having the chalkboard behind you. I’ve turned my rented waiting room into my classroom no matter where I am. Last year I made a non-profit and this year I was interviewed by my county extension office to walk through the garden, teach about trap crops and was told they will be taking my video to city cousin to show how small backyards can grow so much and help the community. So hopefully more to come. But all of that to say thank you because you’ve always been an inspiration and I’ve been stuck and scared to move forward. I’m glad you got to see Charles, hopefully one day I see you and I’m sure I’ll be that giddy too! ❤
Ahhh! Both of you in Iowa - my stomping ground - and I missed it. What a dream that would have been to stand with you both! Believe you are absolutely as equally inspiring! ❤
Oh Jess, I’ve missed your beautiful words pouring from your heart❤
Happy for you what a blessed visit
I also love Charles! Lucky you!!!❤❤❤
Jess I’m so silly. I cried watching you meet Charles! I’m so happy for you. This was so touching ❤️
I LOVE how you were snacking while watering the green stalk 🤣
You are such an amazing and sweet person. ❤
I'm sure Miah knows EXACTLY HOW to preserve his signature ❤
Soo exciting 2 of my garden heroes.. happy 4th🇺🇸
I am so jealous! Charles is so incredible inspiring. You are so lucky! My biggest dream: Cooking with Jamie Oliver one day. Meeting Charles is the same level. And you did it. Happy for you, and us. To see you so damn happy. Love it.
I will say that out of all the creators, gardeners and teachers out there for sure Charles and yourself Jess have been my biggest influences for sure! ❤
Jess- I’m a long- time follower of Charles Dowding and you, so seeing you fan girl over him was fabulous- love your openness ♥️
OMG - I suffer from”analysis paralysis “. Thank you for your words of wisdom. You are my hero. Hope to meet you some day!
I smiled throughout that clip with you and Charles. It was so lovely. ❤
Im so emotional for you. I was very sad and frustrated to not make it to that festival because so many of the people that have mentally gotten me here and progressed my knowledge, were all in one place. One day it will be amazing to give you a hug.
I also hope to meet Charles Dowding one day!
That just warmed the cockles of my heart, I should imagine that's what I would feel like meeting you ❤ from Yorkshire with love
Love you Jess❤. I’ll always chase your butt around the USA🤣🤣🤣 so enjoyed spending time with you. The fact that you actually remembered me touched me deeply. You filled my heart🥰
YES! You are stating EVERYTHING I felt in getting to meet you this last weekend at the Homesteading Conference in Idaho! I felt like a tongue-tied kid talking to you but was so GRATEFUL that you made the trip to educate and encourage us all. Your talk was just what I needed Jess to get to it... I have been suffering from analysis paralysis as well, but you gave me the nudge I needed Girl. Thank you so much!!!!
Omg two legends. Charles undisputedly is a legend. You to me as a female are a legend. Glad to see the two of you on a video. Also credits to Miah as well with his go to solution to every problem, Mr fix it.
How cool to meet Mr. Dowding!!
Thank You Fro a Special Video!
It was great meeting you and Jeremiah and Misty and I found your talk inspirational and even spiritual! Thank you for pulling an all nighter to come to Iowa!
The two of you where the big influences in my gardening
Well that was sweet-life personified!!
Peppergate here tooo Jess! My green jalapeno sale plants make all yellow jalapenos! LOL 😊
❤ your enthusiasm is great , lots of things in my garden have been done because of Charles. But you have done and are doing a very good job at your place. So keep spreading the news 😊
Heart warming to hear that I’m not the only one whose small children fall asleep to gardening videos. You and David the Good are my kids’ bedtime stories. 🥰❤️
Oh this makes me just so happy!!
That’s awesome you and Charles got to meet. Somehow it seemed inevitable you were both meant to cross paths on day. Lovely iconic gift. And you can spend many an hour piddling with his dibber 😃😂
Eeeek! That was such a sentimental video to watch-- Congrats on meeting and bonding with Charles- epic!
Took the plunge & total advantage of the Green Stalk Birthday Sale, thank you for sharing that information & the code that was able to be added as well- basically covered shipping!!!
We have an extensive backyard, but our irrigation needs an overhaul so I'm growing out of buckets on our back patio this year- as a mom of a 5, 3, & 6 month old--- I cannot deny that I am LOVING not having to weed the rows weekly. I'm thinking it'll be easier to keep an eye on things such as lettuce and herbs before they go to seed with the Green Stalk, plus cherry tomatoes and strawberries will be easy for the littles to pick! & Someday- a beautiful flower display!😄 Superrrr excited! TY TY TY.
Jess, I think you kept it together quite well. Better than I'd do! What a fantastic day! As always, thanks for sharing!!
What a gift!
Thankful I learned about GS from you a few years ago! Appreciate you sharing about gardening tools that may be useful to others! I first learned of Charles and no dig from you as well, and I continue to learn so much from him as well.
Oh my GOSH YES!!!! ❤❤❤
It's fun to watch you pick all those beautiful peppers. We've had such a cold hard spring here in northern Montana that my peppers are all small and stunted. Probably no harvest this year. At least we had a bumper crop last year. Now I'm focusing on fast and easy plants like beans, peas, kohlrabi. Something will grow.
