    Loved the podcast, it’s like sitting on the front porch in the evening, with a glass of sweet tea and somebody telling stories much like yours and everybody laughing together, what a great way to end a beautiful evening. I hope y’all are sharing those stories of your youth with Mary Carl, she needs those beautiful and funny memories for later. I know y’all are making your own memories with her too! Much love to all ❤️

      I agree 💯%! Enjoyed the podcast. Tell mom, I’m excited for her and her new home. Anxious to see the pond as it fills up. Loved the ducks swimming in the pond. That was so cool. Glad Piper and MaryCarl have play dates. Brooke your description of you feeding the baby birds is hysterical! I’m sitting here just cracking up…thank you for the laugh of my day. Enjoy!💕🙏🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

    Moths ate cotton wool natural fibre clothes. Today our clothes are synthetics.
    We would walk all the way over to the backside of the farm to where an old house had been near the railway line, the 4 older siblings to collect daffodils!!! They had taken over the entire overgrown garden. We'd take home arms full. A very long walk for such wee legs when I think about it. !!!!

    My Great-Grandmother had 200 rose plants when she died that she had started from a clipping. My fondest memory was of her going to friend’s homes and pulling her clippers out of her pocket and taking a cutting. She went home and cut a slit up the cutting and put a flaxseed in the slit, placed them in water and in six weeks set them in the ground. Since we lived in Santa Rosa, California Home of Luther Burbank we had lots of roses to choose from. She would go when the grounds keepers were trimming back for the winter and ask for cutting as well.

      My grandma did something like that but she always saved one of the best looking flowers when ever grandpa got he flowers, b-day, anniversaries and just because he wanted too. the whole property had a wall of flowers around it when she passed away in 1999. I have also heard that in England back in the 13th century they used a type of rose as a wall between properties and fields to keep cattle and sheep in.

      Daffodils, Tulips, Bluebells, snowdrops, you need crocuses too.

    We had 'black' tulips one year and they were STUNNING! Magistically tall, silky in color and texture, and the color...while not exactly 'black' is called that due to being such a dark purple! We moved from that house before the next growing/blooming season, but made sure we advised the new residents about those BEAUTIES! If you have the opportunity, I DO encourage you to invest in a mess of them; you won't regret it! (I hope to see some in your videos some day)! : )

    I can only imagine what a wonderful mother Mary Carl is gonna be by the way she cares for her baby birds. She’s such a nurturing, loving soul. You must be so proud of the young lady she’s become. I remember her being so tiny and even then she was so protective with penny.
    You spoke of certain smells for me it’s cedar… the smell of cedar takes me back in time to granny’s cedar chifforobes, closets and chests. As kids we would climb in to hide and that smell is one of a kind. Also the sweet smell of honeysuckles on the breeze. So many things in our memories are tied to certain scents… but I think we all have one that takes us back in time

Her daughters carried on the tradition of rose bushes & hydrangeas unfortunately no wisteria though.

I'm glad MaryCarl took her birds with her because I know Brooke would have been so stressed out feeding those babies and worrying that something would happen to them. I would have been so scared if it was me having to feed them. Don''t feel bad Brook because MaryCarl just has that special knack with her birds that is way beyond most of us! 🥰🥰🥰

    Here in Eastern Ontario, Canada when you drive around in the spring you will see lilacs in the middle of nowhere. Year's ago the people that settled these areas planted lilacs on either side of their front doors. The houses might be long gone but the lilacs remain. Daffodils are not affected by deer, like tulips are. Every Spring here in Ottawa we have a Tulip Festival. Every year we get tulip bulbs from Holland for protecting Queen Juliana and her children during WWII. In fact Princess Margreit was born in Ottawa.

If you have deer or rabbits, just know they eat all the bulb flowers except daffodils!! Squirrels will eat bulb flowers, too except daffodils!! Just don't cut the leaves down when the flowers die off because they create the life in the bulbs for next year's flowers to grow up! The leaves will brown naturally. If you want a spectacular flower from a bulb, look into FRITTALARIA BULBS!! You won't be disappointed!! God Bless!

    There was a time in history when the tulip bulbs were a huge market prices went sky high and then the market collapsed. Tulips have to be dug up and rested over the summer in a cool place. And planted again in the fall.

    For your plants you want to permanently mark, consider aluminum flashing, a pair of tin snips, and an engraver. Cut the tin and mark it. It's cheap and permanent.

    I love daffodil's, tulips, hyacinth's, and I truly love Irises. Yet when I go to a garden center I love them all. If I could have flowers all year round I would always have a smile in my heart.

    We have a Generac system. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. My husband has been on Oxygen for 7 years because of Emphysema, and if we lost power, we lost everything. We had oxygen tanks, but they only lasted for a certain amount of time. If trees went down on our driveway, and they did, no one could get through until they were removed. We are on a well, so we lost that, the house was run by electricity, so if it went everything went. When that system went in, it was like a rock was lifted from my chest. We did have to wait for a few months, and that was before Covid. It was WELL worth it.

    When my daddy was a boy (1920s) they had a tornado and found one oh there cows with a post through her and she was still alive and eating. She didnt act like anything was wrong .
    You all are blessed beyond measure and im so happy for you .
    Jason you might like the rose ( Sterling Silver) its lavender in color and smells amazing. You plant bulbs in fall for blooms in spring . Woody bulbs (irises etc will winter over . Soft bulbs (Canna lilies etc need dug and stored or mulched over winter .

    if you get new bulbs you can put them in the freezer for 2 weeks and you stand a good chance of getting some flowers. Don't cut em in the first year even after the bloom dies off. they will divide and then next year you will have 2x to 3x more blooms. I grow a bunch of different dafs around my small lot. my favorites are Altruist Daffodil.

    When the tornados hit April 27, 2011, we lost power around the areas that were hit for days up to a week. The hospitals were on emergency power for a few days and some pharmacies had generators. People had to drive out of the area to get gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Some people drove to TN to stay in hotels.
    If you want more information look up Universities studying tornado survival. They shoot 2x4's out of small cannons at brick walls, cement blocks walls, and wood walls. Then they test it on the new shelters at the power of the F1-5 tornadoes to see which shelters are safe. Texas and Oklahoma test them.

    It is nice to have that comfort knowing if the power goes off you will have power. The other benefit will being able to help your neighbors if they need it. When our power went out we were able to help our neighbor as we had a motorhome in our driveway and had propane for heat and warming up food. Unfortunately it was in the winter so we had to go into the house to use the bathroom. My husband even figured out to plug in the electric water heater from the house so I could take a warm bath. It would have been so nice to be able to stay in the house.

    A good climbing rose is 7 sisters. It a mountain rose.
    Back in the horse and buggy days an elderly couple planted Daffodils on the bank on the side of the road, 32 miles , this was in the late 40's -50's they still come up today.

    I use moth balls every spring and summer around the outside of my house. I can smell lilacs and it takes me right back to my Ma Meffords yard and all of her lilac bushes one of my most favorite scents in the world. My childhood all wrapped up in a beautiful smell. 🌹🌷💐🌺🌸🌼🌻

    Roses are my absolute favorite flower outside. And so thankful I have had such success with them, about 30 of them on my city yard, minis, climbing, and tea roses. Have fun with them, I found planting them 2-3” below surface keeps them coming back every year, pruning them late spring after they have already starting to leaf out really well

    Growing up my mom had a rose garden across the bottom of our yard. She must have had 40 - 50 rose bushes. She also had climbing roses across the back of our house. They were beautiful but I personally don't like roses. I never had a green thumb as a kid, I think it was because I was allowed to mow the lawn but wasn't allowed to do anything in the flower gardens. I thought I hated gardening, however, over the past 30 years (that's how long I've lived in my present house) I now have a flower garden under our tree (circle - approx. 20 feet in diameter). I also have raised veggie/flower gardens and supply my family, my sister's family and the neighbourhood with veggies! I LOVE gardening and have learned so much from you, Jason and Mary Carl so thank you so much!!!

    The old shrub roses and climbers are wonderful. They are tough and reliable. Many only flower once. I had a China Rose that I still miss. It flowered all year round. Only one or two flowers at a time in winter but that little bush was a delight. Feed your bulbs after flowering and let them be until the foliage has died down then dig them up and replant them.
