Jes your humble heart, infectious laugh and authenticity brings such joy as you share your beautiful garden. May the LORD continue to bless and shine His face upon you, Nate and your family!
My first thought was oh Jes is so humble, and then I scroll down to the comments, and your comment was the first one.. so beautiful! Jes is very humble and appreciative. It's beautiful!
Hi Jess, you appear to be such a genuine, sweet and authentic person, hence I truly believe the landing of that butterfly on you and of course the twinkling of your chimes happened when you were speaking of your grandma and family ❤️🇨🇦. I loved to hear how you started gardening, and I too do not fertilize regularly, although I probably should. Keep the videos going! Great choice on how to spend your anniversary !
What you have accomplished at your place in such a short time is amazing! Your garden is so beautiful and so wonderfully designed. I truly enjoy watching and learning from you. Your sweet spirit, angelic voice and covering of old school music is pretty darn cool too! Thank you for sharing your creative talents with all of us.
From the first video of yours I saw I was hooked & always watch you first. What you & hubby have accomplished is so amazing. Your gardens are magnificent & show the hard work & love you’ve put into them. You are the singing garden princess. Thanks for sharing your gardens with us & yah we finally got lots of much needed rain. Lol
Oh my word thanks Margie!! And im so glad you got the rain, i was watching another sweet girl on the youtube named Nicole Smith and she made a movie of the rain and a rainbow in texas and i started crying because she was so greatful and thankful for the rain! It was really neat to finally see some coming down for you down there
YESSSSSSSSSSSS JES !!!!!! Thank You So Much for the Q&A - it’s so cool getting to know you better! And see you made a new butterfly 🦋 Friend LoL 😂 please make this a monthly podcast.... please! Have a great day gardening Jes! Byeeeeee✨🤍🙏🏼🇺🇸
You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. I'm so glad that you started this channel. Give your husband a kiss on the cheek for me . His suggestion about you starting a channel was brilliant. Pam in South Carolina
Great video, Jess! I love your channel. That was so special when the butterfly landed on you. You are so sweet and humble. I really enjoy your content. And the girl can sing! You are so talented. You and your husband did a wonderful job in the garden. Everything is beautiful
Enjoyed the q and a. I too started my love of plants working at the greenhouses as my first adult job graduating high school in 1978. Did that four years until I married. Gardening and flowers are such peacefulness! Your videos are so enjoyable!
Greetings from the UK Jes. You may have initially wanted to stay out of the limelight but I for one am glad that your channel is taking off. Very impressed with your Hostas. I'd love to have the land you've got and bankrupt myself filling it with plants lol.
Just stumbled upon this after watching you about a year, and I have to say, I always say the same thing, you’re like a Disney princess. So precious! They love you 🥰
I’m a new person to your channel, THANK you so much for this backstory/Q&A! I was born and raised in Michigan but have lived most of my adult life in New England. There is much to share if you would like your viewers to share, so I will wait to learn your feelings on that. Your garden is LOVELY, you have done SUCH a wonderful job! I am enjoying more than I can express having the opportunity to get to know young people in Michigan. I still have family there but I am without question now a diehard New Englander. Thank You again from this 70 year old Memere (Grandma!)!
Thank you for this video! I am here because I stumbled onto your video one day. I love gardening videos and you are so genuine. Having you sing in the videos is a double blessing. Your voice is lovely.😍😍
Thanks to the advice you gave a few videos ago, I’ve made sure to take pictures of gardening projects we’ve been working on. That way we can look back and appreciate how much things change. Keep doing what you’re doing! As you can tell from all of these comments we love your content. You make people smile! You inspire people! You are making a difference!
Thank you for the Q&A. I get most of my plants from Meijer, down near Cincinnati :). Love all the sounds of your area, wind, birds, hawk, etc. it's so relaxing. Have a great anniversary!
I just watched Laura and Aaron from Garden Answer when they went to Mackinac for the Proven Winners Flower Show. What a fantastic place, the gardens and homes..Just WOW. I just recently found your channel. I really enjoy it. Thank you for all you do.
Hi Jes! Congrats on upcoming anniversary and yes!!! Would love to see all you wanna share of island! Really loved the last one and hope to go there one day. Love your channel and sharing your gardens! Enjoyed hearing how you got into gardening too
I’m so grateful for you and your beautiful gardens. Thanks for sharing your gardens with all of us. I am so happy I found your videos. Love watching! My nephew went to boot camp at Fort Bennings in Georgia in 2007.
Oh, I did think of something from Mackinac that might be of interest. Maybe garden ideas for transitioning from garden to wood line? Thank you for being my eGardner. I get so many ideas and encouragement from you. Tomorrow I am moving plants that are struggling. 😁
Your light-hearted approach to everything makes your videos a pleasure. I love your honesty about your bargain plants and your laughter. Another video of Mackinac Island would be great - someday I hope to visit there, but for now I will have to live vicariously through your videos.
My husband and I went to Mackinac Island for our 40th anniversary! I loved it! I love gardening and we have horses too! Love your channel and look for to Mackinac Island video! We are building a house in the mountains of North Georgia and every time I plant something I hit a rock so I know exactly what you are talking about!
Jess I wanna think that the beautiful butterfly 🦋 and the sweet music from the Wind chimes was your Great Grannie making an appearance today! She must be so proud of you Jes- thanks for sharing a pice of you today with us! Have a great day gardening ✨🤍🦋🎶🇺🇸
Hello from Florida. I so enjoy your videos. I love seeing young adults embracing gardening. I am a retired lady originally transplanted from Ohio to Florida in 1974. Your gardens remind me of my parents, aunts and grandparents gardens from long ago and bring back wonderful memories. Gardening here in central Florida is very different but still very enjoyable. One of your videos popped up as recommended in my feed a few weeks ago (I broke my wrist in June after a fall while gardening and I have had a lot of time on my hands lately lol), so I have been watching your past videos and am hooked.😀 By the way, I like your vocals you have started adding to your videos, you have a lovely voice. May God bless you and your family!!
That butterfly was your Granny’s spirit ☺️ I’ve heard it said. I always wanted to go to Mackinaw Island and would love for you to do another video and see the other side of it, not all the commercial sites. Thanks!
I found you because of your previous video of Mackinac! I love that place. If you could get some sneak peaks of more of the gardens, that would be great!
I stumbled on your page my accident but I'm so glad. I love your gardens. I also appreciate the fact that don't say please subscribe... Those accounts I will pass right over. Keep doing you and I'll keep watching.
Hi Jes, we are totally here because we want to be here and watching the progress of your garden. You didn’t say how you are managing your ground hog. I have a couple as well. I hope you and Nate have a wonderful anniversary trip.
Jes You are the sweetest,I love your kindness and personality!! Yes,I love the Q and A,tks for doing that !!Keep it coming!! That butterfly omg so sweet ,love those chimes ,it’s allways so relaxing!! Love watching you!!
You are such a joy! Thank you for sharing your creativity and your garden...I am moving back to Michigan and you are giving me the incentive and longing for the Michigan gardens.. hoping to have a huge yard of lilacs..💜
I came across your video one day, as I’m always watching gardening videos, and kept coming back for more of your videos because of your sweet personality and beautiful singing voice! You are such a gem. Thank you for sharing more of your story💖
Jess you are not just beautiful on the outside you are genuinely beautiful inside🥰🥰 I am a grandmom and have been gardening all my life and I hope someday granddaughters will love the garden as much as you do. Your garden is amazing❤️
Happy Anniversary, I'd be happy to see whatever you want to share of Mackinac Island. Great Q&A, lovely family. When you mentioned your husband and a Disney garden Princess, you look like Amy Adams in the movie Enchanted.
That's how I get my plants too! I buy on sale or clearance! I learned it from my Mama! She was a super shopper, raising us kids alone on little money. We didn't have cable but had movies we could watch, went on bike rides, played outside (with our Mom). Went on picnics, to the park, she read to us and it was such a great childhood.
Jes, thanks for this Q&A. I’m always curious about what brings people to gardening. I few days ago my husband and I tested positive for Covid and I have to say that going outside walking around my garden or just setting and looking at my garden bed makes me feel so much better. When I’m inside I enjoy watching your videos. Your gardens are so beautiful I can’t help be feel better after watching. Thanks so much for sharing with us
Wow that view of your garden at the end was spectacular! All the colors and textures, you're doing a great job. I didn't know you were on America's Got Talent, that's amazing! I knew you had a great voice and new songs just seem to flow from you. Keep doing what you love and you'll never work again. I'd love to see how your roses are doing. Also, I've never been to Mackinac so anything you can show us would be great especially the gardens. Try to run Jack Barnhart down if you can, see what he's up to. I know his company did a total redesign of the lake side of the Hotel Iroquois, I'd love to see how that's doing. I'm curious if there is property to sell there, or do you basically have to inherit a house to own one there? I love the whole idea of a place without traffic, that's a true vacation! Happy Anniversary Jes & Nate!
Thanks! I seen him (Jack) last year but got star truck and froze up. Lol I just waved and said hi. There are property’s that go for sale every now and again but I think a lot of the property’s have been in certain families for years. I don’t know much history on it.
So glad I found you. Started watching because I am zone 5 Chicago and was hoping for info and ideas. You provide both. Love your gully garden and the fact you look for sales as well as “shopping” your own garden. Thanks for all the great videos. Happy gardening.
Jes, you are so real and funny , I share your love of gardening. Thanks for the info.❤ I wondered about the deer, we live in the mountians and have plenty. They nibbled a few of my Hostas leafs and munched a little on my hydrangeas.
I’m here watching old videos cause I am missing the growing season. I hope you make a video soon. Even if it’s just cooking or anything. I feel like it’s hanging out with a sweet friend.
Hello sweet Jes! Your videos are very interesting and positive. I'm sure. that you inspire many to create comfort and beauty in the garden. I wish you happiness and see you again🌻❤️💐😊👌
Jes when you guys go to Mackinac Island it would be really cool if you shared your Entrees with us .... Snacks ect... for those who never been what’s the islanders fav drinks..? I just think that would be neat! Thanks✨🤍and enjoy your trip- Happy early Anniversary and Stay vigilant✨🤍
Great idea!! I love this!!! My husband is gonna laugh at this because I wanted to show you all our snacks last time but he thought that might be annoying LOL. Ill definitely show you all the snacks I eat!
Loved your q&a. Love your channel and all your advice. Anything you can share from Mackinaw would be awesome Happy Anniversary ❤️❤️. We just celebrated our 50th… time flys. Enjoy❤️❤️. Also love your voice/music.. you are so talented 👍🏻👍🏻
I stumbled on your channel, and really have enjoyed what I have watched so far. Being from the Northeast - did not know about Mackinaw island, and enjoyed that video too. Good luck on your journey.
Great video today. As far as Mackinaw Island it would be fun to see the kites on the beach and the view up at Fort Mackinaw. I remember the white painted brick building and red geraniums!!
New subbie here, your gardens are beautiful! I’m wheel chair bound,but I still have the love of gardening, any suggestions on gardening from a chair. I have try raised beds but didn’t work. I look forward to your future videos, new sub from Georgia, Becky
Awe! Maybe you could do some planters. Or window/deck boxes. I bet there would even be someone in your area that would build you some custom ones that you can easily access somewhere. Thanks for being here. God Bless!
I found your video on Jack Barnwell’s RUclips page. You have beautiful gardens and you are inspiring and have a beautiful voice. You should sell merchandise and records like Laura from Garden Answer does.
Thank you for sharing the history of your garden. You have accomplished so much in a short period of time. What a wonderful family you have! Your videos are a breath of fresh air in this weary world. Don't stop.
I love your gardens Jes.. and your videos are so inspiring.. I love the gardens in Mackinac.. enjoy your time there..ni have never been there so anything you fil will be enjoyed.. 💖
What a small world! Both my sons are Army at Fort Benning (we live an hour away from there). My oldest is Infantry and my youngest is a Drill Sergeant there now. I stumbled upon your channel because I love to watch gardening videos. I’ve been enjoying them, your garden is so beautiful. In South Georgia our humidity is so high and the bugs are plentiful, it is difficult to keep our plants looking that good throughout the summer. I would love to visit Mackinaw Island one day, the videos I’ve seen from there are gorgeous. I hope you continue posting videos on your garden and I pray your brother stays safe in his military career. -Angel
Thank you Angel! Thank the Lord for your sons! My brother is infantry too stationed over in Germany. I miss him bad! I hope you get to see your sons :) thanks for watching
My boyfriend and I may go to Mackinac Island for the flower show. We really don’t know where to try to stay that is relatively close and that’s not so very expensive. We hope to see Laura and Aaron from garden answer and Jenny from Creekside Gardens. Wish you were going to be there at that time, also.
All the hotels are relatively close. You can walk, bike or take a horse LOL depending on where you wanna go. so they aren’t too far from each other. But the expensive part 🥴🫣😳yep! Super expensive!
Jes, please take lots of videos of Mackinac Island when you are there to share with us. That is definitely on my bucket list of places I want to visit. How many years of marriage are you celebrating? What part of the country or growing zone do you live in? I was delighted to see that you guys fly the American flag proudly and I love seeing it at the end of each of your videos! ~Margie💕😊
I love Macanaw Island. I went 2 years ago. I used to work on Post at Ft Hood Texas as a contract dental assistant. I took care of many soldiers during my time there. I wonder if your brother was ever stationed at Ft. Hood. You are such a sweet person to watch. I love your voice too.
What a great job to have, taking care of soldiers. My brother was not stationed there he was stationed in Fort Benning Georgia and then left for Germany after that.
I enjoy your videos very much! Thank you for the Q & A! I live in southwest Michigan and get a lot of my plants in the spring from meijer. I will now think of you when I buy them! 😊♥️
Loved Mackinaw Island. Please show us the Grand Hotel, that is where we stayed. Also all the pretty flowers. It is a gorgeous place and would love to go back. Glad you are close enough you get to go yearly. You have as muck knowledge as Laura and Jenny. Your videos are great.
Thank Mary! Not sure I’m as knowledgeable as those girls. I’m kinda just self taught through trial and error. I do what works for me. LOL a it goodness I appreciate your support 🥰
Love your Q & A and the butterfly! So sweet! My first thought when it landed on you was, it's your brother giving you a hug. Are you going to Mackinac when the garden convention is going on? That would be so cool to see Laura from Garden Answer!!! Happy Anniversary and enjoy!!!
Awe im gonna pretend my brother was sending a hug :) i just looked up the convention date and we wont be there at that time but goodness wouldn't that have been awesome!
Jess, I really enjoy you and your channel, There is a humble and sweetness about it. You remind me of my niece in your disposition. Keep growing and being creative. Bless you and your family
Love watching your videos! You have a beautiful voice! You should start a band. My daughter lives in Monroe, MI. We're from south Louisiana. The first time we went to visit her, they took us to Mackinac Island. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We went in mid July and at that time down south the flowers are struggling to survive, but they were just flourishing there.
You're so blessed not to have deers eating your plants in the spring, they are so bad here in Ohio they have ate all my hostas and bunny's eat my stuff too so I'm constantly fighting with them. Your voice is beautiful you need to make a cd 💿 😍 your gardens are the best I love gardening ❤️
Hey Jes,, good to know a little more about your life. You are a wonderful, sweet, genuine person. GOD keep blessing you.🙏 ..I have one question..where did you get your small shovel. Again, Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed your content very much. Take care ❤
If you haven’t met Jack from the Island you should and he has a channel as well,. Your hostas are so pretty and healthy. Well all your plants look healthy and are awesome.
Jes your humble heart, infectious laugh and authenticity brings such joy as you share your beautiful garden. May the LORD continue to bless and shine His face upon you, Nate and your family!
Amen!! Thank you for the blessing. Back at ya! 🥲 I appreciate this Karen

Hi Jess, you appear to be such a genuine, sweet and authentic person, hence I truly believe the landing of that butterfly on you and of course the twinkling of your chimes happened when you were speaking of your grandma and family ❤️🇨🇦. I loved to hear how you started gardening, and I too do not fertilize regularly, although I probably should. Keep the videos going! Great choice on how to spend your anniversary !
Awe what a beautiful way to look at the butterfly landing, i love that Eileen :) that has never happened to me before.
Ohh I had that same intuitions wasn’t that the timing to be true✨🤍🙏🏼🦋

Oh Deb thanks for the story! 😊 I hope you heal up quickly so you can get back out there.
That butterfly was your Granny’s spirit ☺️ I’ve heard it said.
I always wanted to go to Mackinaw Island and would love for you to do another video and see the other side of it, not all the commercial sites. Thanks!

Hi Jes, we are totally here because we want to be here and watching the progress of your garden. You didn’t say how you are managing your ground hog. I have a couple as well. I hope you and Nate have a wonderful anniversary trip.
Thanks Micael. The ground hogs, my neighbor is good at trapping them and rehoming them in another area of the town so im lucky for that!
Jes You are the sweetest,I love your kindness and personality!!
Yes,I love the Q and A,tks for doing that !!Keep it coming!!

Jes I think that was your great granny saying hello and thanking you for honoring her for her gardening 💝
❤️🌷🌸 I hope you both enjoy your anniversary.. I definitely want to get to Mackinac Island , we’ve always gone to Door County on our anniversary.
Thanks for the Q&A, still going through the videos trying to catch up!
Happy Anniversary, I'd be happy to see whatever you want to share of Mackinac Island. Great Q&A, lovely family. When you mentioned your husband and a Disney garden Princess, you look like Amy Adams in the movie Enchanted.
Awe thanks! LOL I’ll take that!
I love watching your videos. I found it about 3 months ago and now I look forward to seeing it. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Shirley!!
That's how I get my plants too! I buy on sale or clearance! I learned it from my Mama! She was a super shopper, raising us kids alone on little money. We didn't have cable but had movies we could watch, went on bike rides, played outside (with our Mom). Went on picnics, to the park, she read to us and it was such a great childhood.
Same here. My mama of 6 kids had to be real frugal!

Jes, thanks for this Q&A. I’m always curious about what brings people to gardening.

When I’m inside I enjoy watching your videos. Your gardens are so beautiful I can’t help be feel better after watching. Thanks so much for sharing with us

Thank you Liz for the encouragement!
Jes, you are so real and funny , I share your love of gardening. Thanks for the info.❤ I wondered about the deer, we live in the mountians and have plenty. They nibbled a few of my Hostas leafs and munched a little on my hydrangeas.
They are the worst!
I’m here watching old videos cause I am missing the growing season. I hope you make a video soon. Even if it’s just cooking or anything. I feel like it’s hanging out with a sweet friend.

Loved your q&a. Love your channel and all your advice. Anything you can share from Mackinaw would be awesome Happy Anniversary ❤️❤️. We just celebrated our 50th… time flys. Enjoy❤️❤️. Also love your voice/music.. you are so talented 👍🏻👍🏻
I stumbled on your channel, and really have enjoyed what I have watched so far. Being from the Northeast - did not know about Mackinaw island, and enjoyed that video too. Good luck on your journey.
Thanks for watching Maureen!
Great video today. As far as Mackinaw Island it would be fun to see the kites on the beach and the view up at Fort Mackinaw. I remember the white painted brick building and red geraniums!!
Oh kits on the beach I’ll look out for that! And the white building!! I know I can find red geraniums!!! They are my FAV!!
That butterfly was your great granny saying hi and loving that you are carrying on her legacy
New subbie here, your gardens are beautiful! I’m wheel chair bound,but I still have the love of gardening, any suggestions on gardening from a chair. I have try raised beds but didn’t work. I look forward to your future videos, new sub from Georgia, Becky
Awe! Maybe you could do some planters. Or window/deck boxes. I bet there would even be someone in your area that would build you some custom ones that you can easily access somewhere. Thanks for being here. God Bless!
I found your video on Jack Barnwell’s RUclips page. You have beautiful gardens and you are inspiring and have a beautiful voice. You should sell merchandise and records like Laura from Garden Answer does.
Awe thank you very much!
Love watching you your videos. I feel like I know you better. Can’t wait till the next video.
Thank you for sharing the history of your garden. You have accomplished so much in a short period of time. What a wonderful family you have! Your videos are a breath of fresh air in this weary world. Don't stop.
🥲 thanks Ann!
I just love watching you! Thanks for the Q&A!
Watching from my garden shed in the Outer Banks of NC 🌻
Keep being awesome, Jes xx
Jess you actually made my day. Such a sweet person and humble. I so glad I found you on RUclips. I’ll be seeing more of Like I said you made my day
Awe Rosie!! Thank you!
Thank you Jes you are the sweetest little thang!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the Q&A! It is so nice to get to know you better. Looking forward to more! Have a great day!
Isn't mackinaw island where the garden conference is being held? Garden answers (Laura) and gardening at creekside (Jen) will be speaking.
It is, and i just had to look it up because you got me really excited, but we are not going there during that time. bummer
I love your gardens Jes.. and your videos are so inspiring.. I love the gardens in Mackinac.. enjoy your time there..ni have never been there so anything you fil will be enjoyed.. 💖
What a small world! Both my sons are Army at Fort Benning (we live an hour away from there). My oldest is Infantry and my youngest is a Drill Sergeant there now. I stumbled upon your channel because I love to watch gardening videos. I’ve been enjoying them, your garden is so beautiful. In South Georgia our humidity is so high and the bugs are plentiful, it is difficult to keep our plants looking that good throughout the summer. I would love to visit Mackinaw Island one day, the videos I’ve seen from there are gorgeous. I hope you continue posting videos on your garden and I pray your brother stays safe in his military career.
-Angel
Thank you Angel! Thank the Lord for your sons! My brother is infantry too stationed over in Germany. I miss him bad! I hope you get to see your sons :) thanks for watching
My boyfriend and I may go to Mackinac Island for the flower show. We really don’t know where to try to stay that is relatively close and that’s not so very expensive. We hope to see Laura and Aaron from garden answer and Jenny from Creekside Gardens. Wish you were going to be there at that time, also.
All the hotels are relatively close. You can walk, bike or take a horse LOL depending on where you wanna go. so they aren’t too far from each other. But the expensive part 🥴🫣😳yep! Super expensive!
Jes, please take lots of videos of Mackinac Island when you are there to share with us. That is definitely on my bucket list of places I want to visit. How many years of marriage are you celebrating? What part of the country or growing zone do you live in? I was delighted to see that you guys fly the American flag proudly and I love seeing it at the end of each of your videos! ~Margie💕😊
Thanks! We are proud to be American. 10 year Anniversary :) zone 4/5
I so enjoy watching, From Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Awesome video! You are such a genuine and kind person (the butterfly knows 😊); and I’m totally jealous of where you work! 😲🙌❤️🌱
I love your garden it's relaxing and beautiful. Keep on making video's :) you did a good job on your garden and home. God bless
🥰
I love Macanaw Island. I went 2 years ago. I used to work on Post at Ft Hood Texas as a contract dental assistant. I took care of many soldiers during my time there. I wonder if your brother was ever stationed at Ft. Hood. You are such a sweet person to watch. I love your voice too.
What a great job to have, taking care of soldiers. My brother was not stationed there he was stationed in Fort Benning Georgia and then left for Germany after that.
I enjoy your videos very much! Thank you for the Q & A! I live in southwest Michigan and get a lot of my plants in the spring from meijer. I will now think of you when I buy them! 😊♥️
I'm glad to found you Jes, you are so sweet ❤️
Thanks Alicia!
So glad you got the milorganite and that its working. Love this video. Thank you for starting this really fun channel
Yes!!!
Loved Mackinaw Island. Please show us the Grand Hotel, that is where we stayed. Also all the pretty flowers. It is a gorgeous place and would love to go back. Glad you are close enough you get to go yearly. You have as muck knowledge as Laura and Jenny. Your videos are great.
Thank Mary! Not sure I’m as knowledgeable as those girls. I’m kinda just self taught through trial and error. I do what works for me. LOL a it goodness I appreciate your support 🥰
Love your Q & A and the butterfly! So sweet! My first thought when it landed on you was, it's your brother giving you a hug. Are you going to Mackinac when the garden convention is going on? That would be so cool to see Laura from Garden Answer!!! Happy Anniversary and enjoy!!!
Awe im gonna pretend my brother was sending a hug :) i just looked up the convention date and we wont be there at that time but goodness wouldn't that have been awesome!
@@jesthesinginggardener It would have been so fun! It's on my bucket list.
I thought it was her great-granny ringing the wind chimes since she was talking about her at the time. 😇🦋
Jess, I really enjoy you and your channel, There is a humble and sweetness about it. You remind me of my niece in your disposition. Keep growing and being creative. Bless you and your family
Thank you very much!
Love watching your videos! You have a beautiful voice! You should start a band. My daughter lives in Monroe, MI. We're from south Louisiana. The first time we went to visit her, they took us to Mackinac Island. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We went in mid July and at that time down south the flowers are struggling to survive, but they were just flourishing there.
I had a band once upon a time but everyone started having babies 👶 lol now we just play for fun when we have time :) thank you!
You're so blessed not to have deers eating your plants in the spring, they are so bad here in Ohio they have ate all my hostas and bunny's eat my stuff too so I'm constantly fighting with them. Your voice is beautiful you need to make a cd 💿 😍 your gardens are the best I love gardening ❤️
My husband and I really want to go to Mackinac Island hopefully soon! Enjoy your trip Happy early Anniversary 😊
OMG. You’re a Disney Princess. Butterfly 🦋 flying on you.
That’s crazy I said it right before you did in the video. You are.
Lol that’s awesome!!! 🥰
Hey Jes,, good to know a little more about your life. You are a wonderful, sweet, genuine person. GOD keep blessing you.🙏 ..I have one question..where did you get your small shovel. Again, Thanks for sharing. I have enjoyed your content very much. Take care ❤
Home Depot!
Your videos are wonderful.
Your so adorable.
Can’t wait for another Mackinac Island video!!❤️
If you haven’t met Jack from the Island you should and he has a channel as well,. Your hostas are so pretty and healthy. Well all your plants look healthy and are awesome.
Love his channel!
Love gardening and your voice?
Thanks!!
I want an update on the beautiful home that caught on fire. Jack Barnwell showed some of the work but the plastic tarps were still on the front.
I’ll try to find that!
