- I love growing chamomile flowers for cut flowers as well as their medicinal properties. One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is in chamomile tea.

Is there anything sweeter than a little boy singing, "I love my mommy"?
I accidentally missed the second verse which said “she is so so sweet” 😭😭😭😍😍😍
Roots and Refuge Farm Awwww. ❤️💗❤️💗
Oh my heart! 💓
I realized in high school that all of my favorite teas had calming properties and I have always had severe anxiety my whole life but as a child didn’t know it was anxiety I thought it was just my personality. I was later adopted as a teen and my new mom was obsessed with tea she always bought my faves and one day told me that every single one of my favorite teas had calming properties , we came the conclusion that as a child I subconsciously used these to calm my anxiety and they became my favorites because they physically made me feel better.
Awww... Ben singing "I love my mommy" made me teary.
Oh how I miss those days!!!!!! My baby is 34 and he & dear wife are trying to have a baby. It’s been a year. We are praying for the blessings of a baby 👶🏻.
@@AtlantaHospiceRN prayers💓🙏
Ben's chipmunk cheeks, singing about "I !"😍😂love my mom
Omg, how many did he stuff in there!! A true gardener in the making 😁
Benjamin is truly a gardenboy❤️❤️❤️🍅🍅🍅🍓🍓🍓
😂 💕 want to show you...“in my bomb kitchen”! That was so funny. I was thinking “man that kitchen is gorgeous!”
I love how kind and patient you and Miah are with your children. Wonderful parents.
That Ben is really special. He knows alot about that garden . He's your backup 😄
I am here for that opening scene. The kitchen is beautiful.
Jess, you have become a daily companion since this pandemic started. I feel so blessed by your garden teachings. Thank you!
Chamomile + French marigold = an awesome sleep tea ! Makes you so sleepy 😴
Ok..Ben is so darn cute, he's stealing the show. I could hardly stay focused on what you were saying because I couldn't stop staring at his cute little face!😇
Love chamomile tea, and lavender flowers add a lovely touch to the tea🌼☺
Yes!! Goodness, the chipmunk cheeks!😂❤️
same here! How can I pay attention to what Jess is saying when Ben is making funny faces to the camera?
Did anyone else catch when Ben took a sip of Jess's coffee as she was talking? 😂
Megan Triefenbach yess!🤣🤣🤣
@@lisajulien7228 I rewinded and watched it so many times and just died laughing. He was so casual about it 😂
Yes, the 8:05 mark. Mr. Casual...😂
Yep, little Mr. Personality :-)
I also noticed funny faces when he was sitting to the left 🤣 during camomile tea and honey adorable
Thank you Ben for you for the smile today
Ben is just so cute, oh my heart, those chipmunk cheeks with tomatoes. My children are all adults and have no grandbabies yet, so Ben is doing great keeping this old lady smiling. Hugs 🤗❤
Benjamin’s little song in the beginning just tickled my heart. His sweet voice singing that he loves his mama that was so adorable reminds me of my youngest Sean he does this he will randomly sing to me “ I loooooove you Mommmmmm “ 😭♥️
I’m a Master Herbalist and I love this so hard 💕
My chamomile was so big and heavy that the plants just laid over everywhere. They were plants from when I planted in the fall. I didn't know if they would even survive. I dried quite a bit of chamomile this year. It was my first time ever
Making Lemonade From Lemons I winter sewed as well and I had to tie these suckers up to keep them off the ground, they’re easily almost 4 ft
@@Just-Nikki yes exactly!!
That's fantastic! This is my first garden and I can't wait to sit back and enjoy my first cup of chamomile that I grew!
Yep mine too the rain made the flowers very heavy for a tall plant not supported by anything
Mine grew all last summer self seeded and i have chamomile everywhere even in zone 3b :)
It doesn't take up much sunlight letting it through the plants i find it helpful for protecting lettuce seedlings
Im making notes on what it gets along with where
It went weedy in a few spots but i dug it up for my mom to enjoy :)
I have a few flowers that went to seed already in a very hot garden spot so im going to collect thoes and dry in a paper bag
You're a modern Earth mother! I love how you weave esoteric philosophy through your videos.
P.S. I listened to a few of your devotional videos while I pulled weeds yesterday. You might consider attending seminary. You'd be a great pastor!
I feel she is doing a fantastic job as a teacher and facilitator of peace and beauty. Some are called to be pastors, some teachers, some prophets ... while I believe she would make an exceptional pastor, my personal belief is that she is right where she needs to be at this present moment. ❤️❤️❤️
She is waaaaaay ahead of most pastors I know.
This pagan is always happy to sit at her feet and learn.
@@sarahneu8349 I think that's awesome you say that bc even though you're pagan you are seeing the Holy Spirit through her even if you don't realize it. :) There is story in the Bible of when Jesus was at Martha's and her sister Mary (not his mother) sat at his feet listening to him teach the Way of life (love). Jess is filled with the Spirit of Christ and that's such a beautiful thing when we see Jesus's Spirit manifested in such a plain way like with her peaceful soul, love for creation and mankind and a heart for teaching. :)
"She had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word." Luke 10:39
I love that message id go to ur church online for sure
I never liked chamomile tea but I decided to get a plant last year because it is so good for my stomach. It never died in the winter and I was able to break it into 3 plants. I absolutely love the tea I make from my homegrown chamomile. It tastes nothing like the ones you get in the store. 🌼🌼🌼☕☕☕
I’ve started just loading my dehydrator with the herbs and just not turning it on. Perfect airflow no need to turn or move around.
I love how Ben hands you the mug. He knows you leave them in the garden. So cute!
I love chamomile tea and in a cool bath for sunburns! Just keep in mind that it is in the ragweed family, so if you have a ragweed allergy, chamomile may not be your friend.
So good to know! Thank you!
I love how much Benjamin enjoys the garden. The cherry tomatoes in both cheeks was precious. His comments make it apparent that he is listening and learning. His love of the garden, the produces and you are evident. Evidenced by the little garden treasures he brings for you to eat.
Our olfatory sense is the most in tune of our senses to trigger memories...fact!😉
The smell of rain reminds me of my mother she loved to stand in the door way after a good rain and smell it
The sad side of that is those of us who have lost their sense of smell totally. For me the nerve sac was completely destroyed due to a concussion. It’s been 25 years and I’m beginning to forget what certain things smell like and the soothing benefits of oils, herbs, etc. don’t work when there aren’t nerves to convey the scent to your brain. Just lamenting a loss, sorry.
This is so funny, me and my bff was talking of just this yesterday. Never knew it actually had a name❤️
Adore your cup shelf however , step back and take in all the colors in that area is a love love LOVE!
Chamomile is one of my favorite things to harvest. It takes forever when there’s a million tiny little flowers, but I almost find it like a daily meditation. I also love the little popping sound it makes when you snap the flowers off.
I feel like you are reading my mind. My chamomile is starting to flower and I was about to search you tube for what to do and like magic you appeared.
Jess, thank you for being you. I absolutely love you. Your heart, your honesty, your faith. You give us garden nerds a place and a voice. Keep being awesome. I bless YOU!!
New Roots and Refuge drinking game! Every time you talk about Coffee or grab your cup, etc. I take a sip. (of coffee). lol. It does remind me to finish a cup before it gets cold!
This made me smile. Thanks!
Chamomile is one of my all time favorite herbs for teas. Right up there with lemon balm! My daughter loves to make chamomile tea from the garden 😍
Kitchen looks great. I’ve found that I only bring in things that I absolutely love that brings joy...the rest I leave in the pantry ...if I can’t part with it.
I'm so glad I watched this video last night. I went out to my back yard this morning and picked a tray of camomile. Thanks for showing me that the adorable little flowers all over my back yard is camomile.
IT'S SO PRETTY
(er, your kitchen, I've only been watching for 47 seconds)
Thanks girl ♥️♥️
I love your garden, and enjoy your vedio . Your new kitchen is great! I,m 69yrs. Of age, from state of maine and have been watching and learning alot from your sharing of all your experiences with your farming. Keep up your good worth of life. God bless you karen
I planted chamomile by seed two yeas ago and it finally came up this Spring. I came here to find out when how to harvest and dry.
Thank you Jess
Where did you get your overalls and what brand are they? They look so comfy!!
I am soo happy for you all!! The kitchen is fantastic! I have the same taste as you. But, I'm writing mostly to tell u what an inspiration and mentor your family has been in my life! I have been wanting a garden for 23 years! I have planted a few things but mostly flowers. I am originally from Manhatten, NYC and left to raise my 4 children in the country. The best decision I've ever made!
Now one of my very happiest memories is when I asked for a raised bed for mother's day and my family built me 3 8x4x12!! It was like they a compliment and a show of their love! This is my first ever garden and I look forward to getting up every morning and loving every plant and appreciating my family!
I think my husband is a bit jealous when I brag about your darling Sweet Miah! All he does and the obvious love and respect for each other and your beautiful family! Thank you all.
Love how your teaching your child to garden❤
Chamomile takes me right back to my childhood summers. 🥰
I was just thinking "I gotta ask in the next live when to pick chamomile because mine are going to bloom" thanks so much for the timely content :) love your channel. It has really made a big impact on my life :)
I love the kitchen, and the chamomile flowers. Ben is wonderful.
Ben's smart with his sizzor finger's very gently.😊
Love your God's Eye egg basket! I have one that was a wedding gift from my fellow teachers when I got married.
Yes I agree Jess, most herbs dry better naturally then in a dehydrator. I’ve tried both methods and prefer natural.
I just love watching you walk around your garden with your funky mug in your hand. Reminded me to give some love to my own funky mugs.😊
I just harvested my first bunch of Chamomile and can't wait to have some wonderful tea!
Bomb new kitchen is right! Precious Ben IS stealing your show- however what an awesome time you share with him & he seems to enjoy learning & participating. Thanks Jess, for sharing your happy blessed life. It is encouraging.
I loved hanging out in the kitchen. The flowers 💐 look so good.
Ben is cracking me up. I have those flowers growing wild. I didn't know they were chamomile. Now I'll pick them, thank you.
I do dry almost all my herbs on a paper towel in a very warm room in the summer. Works like a charm!
I made a chamomile plant in a funny way this year. I took a sour cream container and filled it with potting soil. Then I emptied the contents of a chamomile tea bag on the soil and moistened it. I put a plastic bag over it all to create a greenhouse. When seedlings sprouted, I thinned them out. Eventually I hardened off the little plants and planted it in my herb garden.
Sooo addicted to her smile!! I gotta have my daily fix :))
he is just the best helper ever!
So fun and beautiful! Always a joy to watch Ben and his excitement for the world (and yours too of course)!
That begonia in the kitchen is lovely!!
Love that bit about harvesting from your calm place to help bring the calm to the stressful place. Sort of like Clint Black.... "A meldoy brings back a memory. Takes you to another state of mind" 🎶🎶🎶 Great video! And LOVE you mug collection. 😍 As well has your fancy kitchen!! It's looking great!
Chamomile is this years new favourite for me! Instant calm! I’ve never really enjoyed it but fresh from the garden is so delicious🍵 thanks for this info, it’s simple and a must for all gardens and gardeners. Bens face while you’re talking to us all 😂 bless him
I love how Ben comes into the garden to snack. His singing to you was the best!
Refreshed youtube and see tea, so chuffed to watch with my own cup of tea. x
Scent is incredibly powerful. I have an essential oil spray I only use when I’m going to sleep. Lavender and eucalyptus is extremely relaxing to me. Now when I need to relax, nap, and rest, I use it. It works so well.
That kitchen is so beautiful I got goosebumps!
And Ben is going to have some wonderful memory smells from the garden that reminds him of you!
Thank you for getting me through the pandemic with all your videos! And teaching me.
Just found my new favorite ASMR - Jess plucking chamomile flowers 🥰🤗👩🌾🎍
I saw Ben take a sip of Coffee. I think that’s amazing My mama would let me drink coffee when I was little. My love of coffee came early.
I’ll let them have it if they’re willing to drink it with no sugar. Mine just has cream and he usually drinks about a fourth of it when we go to the garden together 😂
I am so excited to grow some chamomile. My first round I only got one flower. But next year it is on! I have chamomile tea every day 🏵😊
Thank you again .... love the kitchen. It’s soooo beautiful
❤️❤️💕😇❤️❤️
Unrelated thank you. Jess, I want to thank you so very much for sending me to Daniel. His channel is awesome. Again, thank you so much 💜
Stay safe and God bless you my friend. 🌱🐐🐓🐄🐷🌱
I’m growing this! So excited
New kitchen looks awesome. Ben is too cute. Thanks for the inspiring info on chamomile and other flowers for tea and tinctures!
Love your kitchen remodel. Looks amazing
I just love your little shadow! He is just the cutest and he just loves everything you do!
I use a repurposed wide toothed comb to harvest my chamomile. I realize it's not as contemplative as picking each one individually, but I'm actually able to harvest more than a handful at a time. Of course, I don't have a super cute helper to help me get the job done!😊
Love your new kitchen!! And that little Ben of yours has a heart of gold, such a sweetie!
Ben is just so stinking cute that brings me back to when my son was little. Thank you aging for the great knowledge again.
Your kitchen is beautiful, I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's finished. I'm so excited for you!
I heard yesrs ago that if you ate oranges (or anything very fragrant like that) while studying. Then ate an orange right before taking the test, you would be able to recall the information better. Not sure if it's true, but let's just say I ate a lot of citrus in grad school 😄. I loved the sound of you picking the flowers. It was very much like garden asmr for me 😊. Have you ever tried to grow Camellia sinensis (tea bush), for black or green tea? I considered it, but haven't pulled the trigger.
Yes i bought one this year but it does take a couple years to actually be able to harvest from.
I read that too somewhere, that orange helps with clarity of the mind, and I absolutely believe orange oil/zest/scent can brighten your mood. Try peeling a tangerine and let the oil in the skin spritz (atomize) into the air around you if you're feeling grumpy or sluggish. When I've worn tangerine- or grapefruit-scented perfumes in the past (such as Clinique's "Happy" or YSL's "Babydoll") I ALWAYS get compliments from strangers-way more than with different scents. Citrus perks up the brain.
Love the new kitchen! Can’t wait to see it after you’ve unpacked everything. I just love Ben & his expressions. It is so apparent how much he loves the garden & his mom. Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Loved you talking about aromatherapy, and the link to memories
That opening was epic! 😄😄👍🏽
I'm so happy it's done!!! Just in time for harvesting! Looks Soo good!!!!
Love love love your kitchen!!! It’s so you.
I love it when Ben helps you it's so adorable and what awesome memories for him ❤️
How beautiful is your son Ben! So precious, all your children are so precious
Ha! I just learned the sound of harvesting chamomile is an ASMR for me.
Ben is a remarkable little boy and he is a reflection of his parents.
It makes me heart so happy to see little Ben right next to you learning all of this wisdom at such a young age. I can just see not only your farm living on thru him but your channel as well!! Good job mama!
Love, love, LOVE the kitchen! Your open shelving looks great, and that tile behind the stove steals the show 😍👍
Do you think Ben would enjoy having his own garden bed where he can grow his own little garden? You could help him plan what he wants to plant and help him learn about the upkeep with the plants. My mom did that with my sisters and I and we LOVED it! ❤️
Thank you so much for all the information on making and growing herbs for tea and drying . This is my first year for trying to grow it .
I love your little helper! *hugs*
Thanks for sharing. So relaxing just watching and listening to you talk about it.
Your kitchen is FABULOUS!!! I’m excited for you!
Kitchen looking fabulous. Can’t wait to watch the canning videos to come!!!
You look adorable in this video, Jess! I wish I could pull off overalls. Thank you for all your videos. You and Luke are my favorite two gardening channels. ❤️🙏🙏
Thank you for this video!! My chamomile is starting to finally bud and I wasn't sure when the best stage was for harvesting. Kitchen looks AMAZING!!! And I think it's no coincidence that the green of your cabinets is a perfect match for the leaves on those sunflowers.💚💛
Watching you come into your new kitchen and set down your basket just makes me smile!
I love that you are able to hang onto your thoughts for us and yet still interact with Ben. Thank you for sharing him with us🥰
I absolutely LOVE the kitchen! It’s such an inviting space. Makes me want to process garden veg!!
Thank you
I love tea - you have inspired me to add chamomile to my garden
I was just thinking about looking how to make tea with camomile. Thank you lady
