Great video. Now, we've seen your tools. How about Jeremiah's? All of us farm husbands would enjoy a tour. Maybe even a special live feed to go over some ideas or to share what we all do to keep things rolling along. Supporting our lovely gardening wives can be a full time job! :)
You along with Kevin from Epic Gardening have inspired me to start making use of my apartment waiting room this spring! I filled a greenstalk with leafy greens, root veggies and snap peas. Also doing grow bags with potatoes and started some tomatoes, peppers, and flowers from seed inside. I'm sure I will learn a lot this first year and appreciate all your content. Your book is gorgeous! Love having a quick reference with inspiration and all your lovely tips! Thanks for being awesome!
Oh my goodness the rooaprons are so affordable! This whole time I have thinking “I really want a rooapron but it’s too expensive for right now” it’s very reasonably priced!
ENCOURAGMENT has truly been my most needed tool, especially through my many follies. Thank you so much for providing it. I could use some good manicure and Sun screen advice.
Manicure- Soaking my hands in a bowl of hot water with dawn helps cut the dirt and soften the cuticles. I clean up my nails and then I use dashing diva gel nail polish strips. Those strips last me nearly two weeks even with heavy duty weeding and planting/ animal tending. They still look great at day 10 and just starting to need replacing by 14. 💕
Neutragena Hydro Boost Sunscreen is my absolute favorite. It doesn’t feel like sunscreen, it feels like lotion, and you can usually find it at Costco for a good price. It comes in a blue bottle. And for my face I use Elta MD, I buy it on Amazon. Again, doesn’t feel like sunscreen just feels like moisturizer. It’s a little bit more pricey, but I find that the cheap stuff doesn’t feel good, and if it doesn’t feel good I won’t use it like I should.
My friend made me a really pretty havrest apron out of Fox pattern material. When I wear it I feel really cottage core. My 5 year old asked me why I look like a shepherd 🥴
I don't know how I've gotten to the ripe age of 29 without ever knowing a vacuum spray bucket thing exists. This is a game changer for my little apartment patio garden, where even just regular watering is a time consuming chore. THANKYOU.
How refreshing to hear someone be so honest and say I have these things I even created a book but you don’t need it to be successful. Your channel is the reason I started growing. Knowing nothing about gardening I have completely fallen in love. I found the thing that i feel that says it’s me. I play so many roles as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend we forget who and what we want. The information you give is invaluable and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m good at a lot of things but this... this thing called gardening is a passion. My passion. Thanks Jess. 🙏
Hi Jess! I love your channel so much! I recently stumbled upon it and have binged so many videos. Also, found some Arkansas Traveler tomato starts and picked up a couple just because of you ☺️ I enjoy your content. Have a great day!
All useful tools but the one thing I see that’s most important is that OU plaque 😁 Okie girl born and raised ☺️ God bless and hoping you all have a fabulous growing season!!
My pitchfork handle broke off inside the metal neck. So the Wood handle popped out. I was so dissapointed. Until I realized that I was just gifted an excellent dibber. And I know you can buy shovel handles on their own. It's a dibber that's long enough to use without being bent over too much!
I love Greenstalks! My entire yard is only about 20’ x 10’, so growing space is incredibly limited. I have 4 towers, now, 3 regular and 1 leaf. They’ve increased my growing space so much. Lovely video and great advice.
My landscaping friend friend says to put a very layer of Vaseline on the sprayer seal in fall before you store for winter and it will last a lot longer. My boys worked for him for several years and learned a lot
I fully agree that you don’t have to have tools to make a garden happen. They help. But it isn’t a requirement. I like that apron, I’ll have to look into it. Great information.
I'm loving Jess' book!! The way she explains how nature works makes so much sense to me. You've taken away my fear of failure. If things don't work out this season it's ok, I'm still learning! I take chances now, I started a gardening notebook. Hopefully I'll get to eat some tomatoes from my garden this year so I can see what a real tomato actually tastes like. 😁 Thank you and I hope to see more books from you in the future!
Love the Barebones hori hori, I always recommend the ultimate one because of the pommel on the handle it's nice to have a hammer. People with smaller hands might be interested in the AC Lenord hori hori it is a little bit smaller and lighter.
I’ve wanted a roo apron for years, ever since I first saw it on your channel! Maybe this will be the year I finally buy it. I got the cobra head for Christmas, and I use a green stalk. The rest are great ideas!
Got my second greenstalk this year. Last years greenstone I left in full sun and my herbs bolted faster so I will be putting them on my new deck this year in partial sun. Gonna do strawberries in the new one!
I'm so excited for you guys for the future i can't wait to follow your new journey soon hehe. My daughters school is being visited by a local farm next week and I'm so excited for her as we don't have animals except for a sausage dog lol. Just want to send you guys blessings for the future 💕
@@h.s.6269 It has a twist end so you can adjust the stream a little on some brands, like a giant spray bottle. I use it in the greenhouse but also just outside in the raised beds for seeds/seedling until they are big enough to handle the hose. Or drill a small hole in the cap of a 20fl oz soda bottle, fill with water, put the cap on & squeeze onto seedlings. It doesn't disrupt the soil enough to wash them away.
Jess, I have heard with growing strawberries the first year you pinch off the flowers so the next year your strawberries will be large! I've noticed the strawberries you have been picking are small. Just trying to help!!! I BLESS YOU! 🙋🌈🙏🍉
Jessica, just a heads up, your link to your facebook page isn't right, it has an "a" before the "rootsandrefuge"...just wanted to let you know. Have a wonderful day!
Hi Jessica. I love love love this video and you. Your a great teacher of environmental things and the raw great things about life. You speak very well. I agree on everything you talked about and learned some. Keep Enjoying Life 👍🌷🌺🌼🇨🇦
LOVE my hori hori and of course your book....all else I need is seed, sun and soil! My kids gifted me a new hand tool that I can't wait to run through the garden....Rouge Hoe, family owned business from Missouri, well made, beautiful craftsmanship, great customer service... check them out!
The BB Hori is much cooler than my plastic handled one (that I LOVE) that I often leave dug in the dirt. Maybe, I could get better at putting it away..🤷🏼♀️😅
Hay Jess! I would love if you could do a video (soon!) about the absolute best organic garden spray to use for mildew, bugs, bacteria and fungus if you could pick just one that takes care of all of them. Thanks and HAPPY SPRING!
🚨 Alert! Hey Jess, the Roo Apron link has expired. I’ll be ordering one soon for my mom’s bday if you want to update your affiliate link, I’ll place the order thru you. I was brainstorming a gift and remembered this sweet apron you showed off! Thank you! Lmk.
Thanks for doing this video, i’ve been doing garden for about 12 years and I’ve never heard of this Tool HORI-HORI. I’m now thinking about getting one some come with sheath
I love my hori-hori knife. Great for planting small bulbs and little slips of things. I also love my hoedag. Makes working in my clay based soil easier. I put your book on my Mother's Day list.
You are such a breath of fresh air.. thanks for all the beautifully done videos. I’m hooked, here from the beautiful Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia Bless you 🙏🏼 for all your sharing P.S.im on my second Hori hori! My fav garden tool as well..,Cheers. Colleen
Jess you should try the gloves with hard plastic claws on the fingers. OMGoodness I love them. I generally end up using my hands anyway and these allow you to dig, uproot, etc. 👩🌾💛🦋
Just came upon your videos today.... LOVE them! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of them in the days to come. For now, I'm about to order me some tools. ;)
Ordered the Roo Apron for my daughter in laws birthday & Mothers Day (she & my son made me a grandma) and just got notice that the Roo people have been overwhelmed with orders 🐢wider why??💞💖💞
UGH, I just heard we are getting a snowstorm tomorrow. It has been in the 50s-60s for weeks. I knew we would get one last winter storm, we do every year. But not what they are saying for inches. Ugh 8"-12". Grrrrr.
I found your RUclips channel a couple days ago and I feel like it’s going to be a binge for me!! I just ordered your book too! Congratulations! Your so encouraging and inspiring as well… I’m working a first garden for myself and it’s been amazingly rewarding! Thank you for so many tips and the endless knowledge!!
My daughters surprised me with a Roo for Christmas. I did send them a pic because I thought it would really suit me, but never expected them to treat me! It’s so fun when my budding gardeners back my crazy gardening spirit!
My Barebones Hori Hori is one of my absolute favorite gardening tools. Super well made and definitely worth the money. It will dig out rocks, cut though roots, and slice right through sod with ease. If you're thinking about purchasing one spend the money on the Barebones Hori Hori. It will hold up and last a very long time.
Is the Roo apron invented by an Australian? I live in Australia and never heard of it. Love the simple design. If I can't get it I just have to saw one for myself. 🦘🦘🦘🦘
I have got your book it's inspiring it's wonderful you did a great job and it's heartwarming for a first-time beginner in gardening I'm super excited to use the tips that you gave in the book thank you Jess you're a beautiful person!!💞🌷✌
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months and asked for a gardening book for Christmas and my hubby ended up getting yours! He had no idea. I’m super enjoying it
Hey Jess, been following you for a year or two now and I love your work! I wanted to offer some constructive feedback on what you said about the pressure sprayer. While I think using it for pesticides is a reasonable use, given that you have a lot of new gardeners following you, I strongly suggest if using it for pesticides, it should be labeled as such. I don't know about in the USA, but in Canada anywhere you purchase the pesticides, they can provide you with additional (or replacement) labels (you will need the registration number of the product). The company manufacturing it should also be able to do this. Many pesticides have dangerous acute health risks and unfortunately those pressure sprayers also can be fun "water guns" to a child or someone who isn't aware of it's contents. There are thousands of poisonings and injuries each year (sometimes fatal) due to improperly stored (and labeled) chemicals. Many ppl don't know that they can get new labels which is helpful not only of using a pressure sprayer like this, but also if the container (or spray nozzle) breaks in the original container.
My neighbor and I have found that a good garden tool for scratching up, lifting weeds is....are you ready for it? A spaghetti serving tool. You know the claw-like utensil you use to pick up drained spaghetti from a pot. Yes, it seems strange, but the claw shape actually works. lol Necessity is the mother of invention.
So sad, we can't get the greenstalks in the UK. The company doesn't seem to want to ship 'em. :( But thanks for the recommendations, that Joey / Roo sounds like it could be useful come high summer.
Love your videos...if possible can you share your knowledge on type of soil you use or mix with compost and food supplements you provide to your garden..
I am turning my waiting room into my classroom. I live in Ontario Canada, greenstalk doesn't ship to Canada. Do you know about any other planter I can buy?
I won a Hori Hori on an online competition (uk) only the company providing the gift ended up sending me their deluxe box worth like $350 🙈 said I could keep them all! Was over the moon as it was the day before my birthday! So am looking forward to many season ahead of great tools starting this year!
I have watched your channel for a while and you are an inspiration! We bought a small piece of land in Brazil and I'll practice all the great information that you have shared with us so gracefully. I can't wait. Thank you very much.
We used the 2 gallon one often, but just bought a 15 gallon one for the weeds in the rocks which are our yard. The Hori-hori looks neat, but my growing space is too small to have a fancy tool! I do want a Green Stalk for my greenhouse. We finally got a fan installed and our misting system needs to be fixed along with the timer! We just replaced the valve for watering with several hoses. Have you found one color of Green Stalk over another having an advantage?
Is one of your spiritual gifts encouragement? God is using you in a mighty way to encourage bringing people back to His design. I felt the conviction a long time ago, but felt all the excuses why I could not. Well this spring my family and I started our first garden. I had some pretty big lessons and wanted to give up and would watch your videos and be encouraged to keep going. So from one sister in Christ to another thank you❤️
My family and I are loving your channel! We are pretty much newbies ❤️ im a homeschooling momma of 5, but I have 4 girls and 1 boy lol. my 7 year old enjoys seeing your boys helping you, as he loves to help me do all the things too.
I may be 50+ but alway go for good quality children’s tools where I can because I only grow in containers they are the perfect size. I always keep my eye open for tools in charity/thrift store here in UK great prices and if they get broken I’m not too worried. I need to make a dibber now
I just got my 2 green stalks placed by my porch. I broke my Ankle on one foot and the other foot broke my 2 toes. So I can't do the garden this year so will be growing in pots .used your code 😻
Great info! Seeing what the tools are used for helps. I’ll make my own hori tool. A stainless tool steel and synthetic handle material will improve longevity.
Are you sure you want cows? If you really do at least it is not in South Dakota. LOL! Just wanted you to see how different they are than goats. I love you guys. Your old auntie in Hawaii. ruclips.net/video/L6ChauEsRQU/видео.html
Don’t have to have stuff? No but it’s fun to get cool garden stuff - tools are only second to seeds!! 😇 And honestly (and Jess you’ve probably the same!), I usually end up digging in the dirt with my hands anyways!!😁 Sending Blessings!!
The gloves that have finger claws has become my fav because I end up tossing the tools and using my hands also. I bought my mom some and she loves them also.
I didn't know you had a book! Just bought it! You have so much going on in the backgrounds of your videos. Is there a video with a tour of your gardening and prep spaces?
Jess, maybe you could partner with roo apron to have a R&R quote embroidered on it. Would so buy it! After all I bought the clyders planner for it 😂
This is a great idea!
This would be really cool!
"You don't have to have stuff to garden" best statement ever 😊
Really is 👐🏾
I so agree too... amen..
Kitchen spoons work just fine!
Great video. Now, we've seen your tools. How about Jeremiah's? All of us farm husbands would enjoy a tour. Maybe even a special live feed to go over some ideas or to share what we all do to keep things rolling along. Supporting our lovely gardening wives can be a full time job! :)
I started reading Jess' book. Does anyone else hear her voice reading it to you?
I do too...and there are ton of Jess’s words that belong on a R&R sticker...so inspiring !!
Yes lol
I think Jess should record her voice doing an audio book version!
Definetely and it is so great feeling. And when I finish and put it down I bless myself😇🙂
Yes!!!! I just told a friend that!
I've got to get me a Hori Hori so that I can be a garden warrior. 😊
I just got one a month ago, soooooo worth it!!!!
Hubby gifted me one for birthday a couple weeks ago and I've already used it a few times and now it's my favorite tool
You along with Kevin from Epic Gardening have inspired me to start making use of my apartment waiting room this spring! I filled a greenstalk with leafy greens, root veggies and snap peas. Also doing grow bags with potatoes and started some tomatoes, peppers, and flowers from seed inside. I'm sure I will learn a lot this first year and appreciate all your content. Your book is gorgeous! Love having a quick reference with inspiration and all your lovely tips! Thanks for being awesome!
If you don't have money to buy tools, use rocks and sticks for digging and an old bedsheet or garbage bag for harvesting. No excuses!
"Turn your waiting room into a classroom". I'm using that and appreciate you throwing it out there. This video was full of encouragement. Thank you
Soil Scientists (such as myself) rely heavily on the hori hori knives.
Oh my goodness the rooaprons are so affordable! This whole time I have thinking “I really want a rooapron but it’s too expensive for right now” it’s very reasonably priced!
I’m sitting in my garden right now with my Hori Hori from Barebones..... BEST TOOL EVER MADE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
ENCOURAGMENT has truly been my most needed tool, especially through my many follies. Thank you so much for providing it. I could use some good manicure and Sun screen advice.

My friend made me a really pretty havrest apron out of Fox pattern material. When I wear it I feel really cottage core. My 5 year old asked me why I look like a shepherd 🥴
You don’t have to wait I grow tomatoes and peppers in the back of my truck 😬
You realize you just created a run on Roo Aprons and Hori Hori's don'tcha? lol
I thought about the Hori Hori but I'd slice myself up within 5 minutes. I am terribly clumsy. I sliced my finger on foil three days ago, HA!
Cexe omg I feel your pain! A foil cut is like a paper cut times a MILLION! 😩
I got my green stalk last year in august so I didn't plant it. I'll get to use it this year. 💚
I don't know how I've gotten to the ripe age of 29 without ever knowing a vacuum spray bucket thing exists. This is a game changer for my little apartment patio garden, where even just regular watering is a time consuming chore. THANKYOU.
Bear is looking particularly majestic behind you in the gazebo :)
He's one of the sweetest looking dogs I've ever seen
I love my Hori Hori. If I was only allowed one garden tool for weeding and planting, it would be the Hori Hori for sure.

I'm here because Jess is here 🌿
My Fisker hori hori broke where the handle meats the blade after 2 years. I ordered a barebones one and it is awesome, very heavy duty.
The Cobra Head! I know the family and its a great company!
Thank you Jess!
I got one for Christmas. I believe I saw it in the baker creek catalog. Haven’t used it yet, but you can tell that it is high quality!
@@Alexis_9339 met the family at the Chicago flower show back in 2008. Great folks and amazing product. I like the long handled one!🙏😊
Mother’s Day is coming! 😂🥰
I love my greenstalk planters so far. Growing in an apartment with them. ❤ I have the hori hori and your book❤ this is a great list of gift ideas.
Hi Jess! I love your channel so much! I recently stumbled upon it and have binged so many videos. Also, found some Arkansas Traveler tomato starts and picked up a couple just because of you ☺️

You literally spill out Words of Wisdom.
Bless you
Dang! Woke up to more snow😒 but loving the hope of spring. Thank you for the content. It’s always such a delight.
Got my second greenstalk this year. Last years greenstone I left in full sun and my herbs bolted faster so I will be putting them on my new deck this year in partial sun. Gonna do strawberries in the new one!
Look at Bear being all regal in the background.... 😍😂

Just want to send you guys blessings for the future 💕
I use the spray pump bottle for watering seedlings, even though they are intended for chemical sprays
I've been considering doing that too. Is the spray easily controlled? Or would u only suggest it in a greenhouse or something?
@@h.s.6269 It has a twist end so you can adjust the stream a little on some brands, like a giant spray bottle. I use it in the greenhouse but also just outside in the raised beds for seeds/seedling until they are big enough to handle the hose.

WoW！！These tools are really good！！！
Hello...from Australia 💚💛💚
I was just shopping for tools. Perfect timing, Jess!
Great content! Thank you for sharing. Continuing to follow your channel! 🍃🌿🌵🥒🌱🍃🌿🌵🥒🌾
I like ve you all so much . Such a beautiful book and yes I have it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ GODBLESS sweetie 🙏🙏🙏🙏
*today I'm going to inadvertently test Canon's weathersealing...*
😄 riiiight?!
I was JUST today looking at the Roo aprons. Maybe....
But I DO love my hori hori and the GreenStalks ❤
Love Love Love Your Book!!! Reading it is like having a full on conversation with Jess!
Me too .. mine just arrived last week.❤️
Jess, I have heard with growing strawberries the first year you pinch off the flowers so the next year your strawberries will be large! I've noticed the strawberries you have been picking are small. Just trying to help!!! I BLESS YOU! 🙋🌈🙏🍉
Jessica, just a heads up, your link to your facebook page isn't right, it has an "a" before the "rootsandrefuge"...just wanted to let you know. Have a wonderful day!
So when I heard Roo Apron...I was thinking Roux and just didn’t get it...but now I’m like ohhhhhh like Kangaroo 🤣

Do those green stalks hold up under hard strong winds. Are do they blow over??🤔. We get strong winds 🤷♀️🤔❤️
Just came upon your videos today.... LOVE them! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to seeing more of them in the days to come. For now, I'm about to order me some tools. ;)
Ordered the Roo Apron for my daughter in laws birthday & Mothers Day (she & my son made me a grandma) and just got notice that the Roo people have been overwhelmed with orders 🐢wider why??💞💖💞
UGH, I just heard we are getting a snowstorm tomorrow. It has been in the 50s-60s for weeks. I knew we would get one last winter storm, we do every year. But not what they are saying for inches. Ugh 8"-12". Grrrrr.

So useful but also reassuring that I don't need lots of gadgets to make a beautiful space. :)
Sending this to the hubs right now 😍😂 Thanks!
My daughter walked in the other day and said she’s my favorite I like her talking about your show!
Well, perhaps team up with the apron company and put yohr designs on them. Or make those dibber dibblers available in the USA !
We used the 2 gallon one often, but just bought a 15 gallon one for the weeds in the rocks which are our yard. The Hori-hori looks neat, but my growing space is too small to have a fancy tool! I do want a Green Stalk for my greenhouse. We finally got a fan installed and our misting system needs to be fixed along with the timer! We just replaced the valve for watering with several hoses. Have you found one color of Green Stalk over another having an advantage?
Is one of your spiritual gifts encouragement? God is using you in a mighty way to encourage bringing people back to His design. I felt the conviction a long time ago, but felt all the excuses why I could not. Well this spring my family and I started our first garden. I had some pretty big lessons and wanted to give up and would watch your videos and be encouraged to keep going. So from one sister in Christ to another thank you❤️
My family and I are loving your channel! We are pretty much newbies ❤️ im a homeschooling momma of 5, but I have 4 girls and 1 boy lol. my 7 year old enjoys seeing your boys helping you, as he loves to help me do all the things too.
Does anyone know what brand of headbands Jess wears? I know she's talked about them b4 just can't remember. Thanks!
I may be 50+ but alway go for good quality children’s tools where I can because I only grow in containers they are the perfect size. I always keep my eye open for tools in charity/thrift store here in UK great prices and if they get broken I’m not too worried. I need to make a dibber now
Would you consider the black light flashlight for horn worms an essential in your garden??
My eyes watered when you showed your book, your labor of love! So stinking proud for you and all the blessings God has showered on your family!
I thought about the Roo Apron for about a week and finally ordered myself one through your link, thanks for the suggestion!
I just got my 2 green stalks placed by my porch. I broke my Ankle on one foot and the other foot broke my 2 toes. So I can't do the garden this year so will be growing in pots .used your code 😻
Great info! Seeing what the tools are used for helps.
I’ll make my own hori tool. A stainless tool steel and synthetic handle material will improve longevity.
Your book is the best tool out of the bunch. Did an amazing job putting it together. Job VERY well done.
Are you sure you want cows? If you really do at least it is not in South Dakota. LOL! Just wanted you to see how different they are than goats. I love you guys. Your old auntie in Hawaii. ruclips.net/video/L6ChauEsRQU/видео.html
Lol oh yes ...I remember doing exactly that...stop mix more ba k to spraying
I'm not a new gaedner, but my wife bought me your book. I like having a reference eight at my finger tips at all times.
Don’t have to have stuff? No but it’s fun to get cool garden stuff - tools are only second to seeds!! 😇
And honestly (and Jess you’ve probably the same!), I usually end up digging in the dirt with my hands anyways!!😁
Sending Blessings!!
The gloves that have finger claws has become my fav because I end up tossing the tools and using my hands also. I bought my mom some and she loves them also.
@@apiecemaker1163 sounds nice!! Ill look for some!! Thanks!
I didn't know you had a book! Just bought it! You have so much going on in the backgrounds of your videos. Is there a video with a tour of your gardening and prep spaces?
