Benjamin's pepper contemplation and sampling absolutely made my day! What a doll. 💖 Your whole family is beautiful, as are you my friend. 💖 You are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your garden and your life. 💖
“Sometimes pepper are spicy” “This pepper has a 👌🏼 TINY bit of spicy in it.” Ben quotes are the best ❤️
Sometimes peppers are spicy - please make more Ben quote shirts!
"Wood wood wood" is so far still my favorite Ben quotw.
YES!
5:20 A cute little boy is very brave to have hot pepper. So lovely boy.
Your son’s enthusiasm in the garden brings the garden to life👍
Love the look on Ben's face as he waits for the heat of the pepper💗🌶
Yesterday my grandson was watching your video with me and he made a great comment...he's 10 and French and American...but French is his first language although we speak in English...he said Jessica speaks with her face (meaning you are expressive). I think he's absolutely right!
As for HOLY BASIL: While on a business trip a few years ago, I purchased my first Holy Basil plant. It grew huge and bushy from pinching, and was so sweetly fragrant and full of bees, I was in love! Last year, I set out to find some locally and finally found a nursery that had some tiny plants. I took a few home and in a few weeks was so disappointed when I realized that this was NOT the same variety. It had almost no fragrance, and was a much scrawnier plant with different leaves. Now I know why the nursery owner gave me a strange look when I mentioned the intoxicating fragrance! Luckily, I started to find little volunteers from the previous year, and ended up with fragrant plants after all. I researched to find there are 3 varieties, but none of the descriptions specify which one is the super fragrant one, so it was vary frustrating. I don't understand why growers don't list the variety. I have no idea what to look for. Last week I found seeds on MiGardener, and the photo looks like the fragrant one we love. They are on their way to me now!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.... I’m Ben’s biggest fan!!!! Where’s his T-shirt?! And I have three of my own babies! He’s just so special. You all are so blessed. He needs to be the poster child for kids in the garden. His enthusiasm for the garden and to try new things is so incredible. Just warms my heart. And boy is Malia (?) beautiful. Good luck with that Jeremiah😉good thing she’s got lots of brothers around😁 Thanks for the video guys. Can’t wait for the next one🤗💜
There are two common types of Holy Basil (Tulsi plants) Rama and Krishna. Krishna is darker. They smell and look different. Probably why your cousin's doesn't smell the same. 😊
Wow. I didn't know that. Do they both have the same medicinal properties? It is hard to find the seeds here only by mail ordering. I keep missing them for saving the seeds because of frost.
@@Kris-jy7dz Strictly Medicinal has several types of Holy Basil. Great company.
Love the dusky effect on the garden, and the critter sounds!
Great visual!
I’ve noticed the very last tomato plant I put in and was sure it was too late is now the biggest and healthiest.
Patience is not my strong suit.
I am 71 an I love your videos.. I love hearing you laugh an how you laugh with your children an your hubby.. that life is so much fun with you an your family an you don’t make everything so serious... continue making your life an your children’s life an your hubbies a enjoyable adventure... God Bless you all
*about to go to bed after staying up waaaay too late till 2am* YUSSSS, garden tour, I need to immediately watch from my cold, Australian 2am timezone XD
Thankfully I'm in QLD not to cold!
Oh I feel you! My frosted act bones are enjoying the sounds of cicadas and the warmth of their summers
Yes! I love watching the warm summer gardens while mine are frosty! Between the RUclips and seed catalogues that’s how I get by 😂
I belong to finch groups on Facebook and many other members are from Australia so when they talk about breeding season we are in opposite seasons so it throws me off. You are lucky to live in a land that has wild lady gouldians, zebra finches and shaft tails.
I literally thought; I hope there’s a new garden tour coming soon... 1 minute later 😍
Watching now!
Wish granted! !
I had a holy basil last year that was pretty but didn't smell like much. This year, I attended a herb gardening class and learned that there are several different varieties of holy basil, then was given a different variety of it and wow, what a difference! Totally different smell. Needless to say, check out and see if his variety is the same as yours. If not, it's easy to root them from cuttings.
Benjamin looks just like you in the video when he says he has to think about what the pepper tastes like for a minute. I remember you doing that in a video...you had to think about it for a minute. He is adorable.
Is there any chance that we will get a salsa , Marina, or spaghetti sauce recipe and canning tutorial? I'm way new at all this and I would love to learn how to do all that stuff.
Marinara sauce I think you mean. Peace
Yes! I’d love a tutorial on all of them!
She does have one with spaghetti sauce. Recipe in the description box.
I'm not seeing it in the discription of this video.. 🤷
@@littlepretty8462 it's not in this video. It's in the video about the sauce
Binging your episodes as we drive from Ohio to Oklahoma to visit family. So thankful for this new garden tour to help pass the time. Right before we left I harvested my first peppers from seeds I won from you on one of your lives a while back. 🙌
I love your info stories about tomatoes. It shows you capacity for research. Also your command of the english language and and your ability to express how your garden is in personal detail. It just amazes me. You are like a detailed journalist. I am so impressed with your command of the language. You are so good with your videos. For sure you are like a professional specialty journalist. You have my complete admiration.
Watching Benji happily eat your home grown vegies straight from the garden is my fave thing. I love his genuine enthusiasm. It must feel so good feeding your family chemical free fresh food.
Ben is so beautiful I’m always so pleased to see him ! Love you guys !
When I watch your videos, I keep thinking that what you are living is true happiness
If you haven't tried them before you might want to consider growing Raggedy Ann Zinnias. They are just beautiful.
Your beefsteak tomatoes can be covered by a netting, and if you trim the vines to 3 fruits each, they will grow bigger. :D
Your bean pickers are so much bigger now. Ben is becoming a great garden boy. Your daughter can garden and make sugar cookies.... Sky is the limit. Love how they shared a pepper!
Yall are doin so well with parenting and encouraging the youngins,lol. Mr. Ezrah IS AWESOME! He tries everything and is so intuitive to the land. ..a natural gardener through and through. God bless,
My Romas have really taken off, today is the first tie up day. Feeling blessed.
Ben is so precious. His little about to drop a fact finger goes up... “sometimes peppers are spicy” 😂
Oh Benny!! He is just SO adorable!❤
I so enjoy your garden tours Miss Jess. I met you at Baker Creek Festival this year and you are just as lovely in person. I can usually walk up and talk to anyone. When I met you I was star struck, you gave me a hug and made me feel like I was one of your people immediately. God bless you. We are also enjoying our bounty from the garden.
So I’m unfortunately corporate and need a farm yesterday. Jess, your tours lighten my heart thank you. Your laugh, giggle, being you is inspirational it always get me through the day. 🌿🌻🌷🍁🍉🍓🍒.
I love the sweet interaction between you and Ben.
I got so excited for you when I saw the Rampicante Squash! That would be a huge blessing if you guys love it and produces like you want. 🙏❤😊
You truly are my biggest inspiration for continuing to grow my garden! Thank you for sharing your world with us.
Wondering if you have ever done a time laps video of your garden from sunrise to sunset, you normally film when the it’s shady which is totally understandable, but I think it would be interesting to see the progression of the sun throughout the day.
Your garden looks awesome and inspiring!
Miah’s genes are strong! I can’t believe how much your babies look like him. They’re adorable 😊
I enjoyed being in your garden late in the day. How the sounds and the fireflies bring back a lot of memories. Hugs and Prayers ya'll
So good Jess! I would love to see a video on your watering routine. I know every situation and zone is different, but a general about how you water, how you judge how much and how often. I know you mentioned before that you hand water as do I. I'm in 8b in Oregon. I bless you as well.
🙋🏻♀️I bought holy basil because Jess bought holy basil. I think that’s the real problem 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂🤗💜ps. mine smells amazing!
I didn't know there was different kind of basil until I started watching Jess. Can't wait to get my basil on!
In one of the 4x4 you could grow pumpkins! I started last year so we could have our own jackolanterns and now this fall I'm going to see my old girl scout leader to learn to make pumpkin pie. I've grown howden organic variety, and regular orange that we saved from store pumpkins, last year my sister bought a white pumpkin at the store so I'm growing those too! Last year we went to a pumpkin farm and I picked the lumpiest ugliest pumpkin and I'm growing seeds from that too. They might cross pollinate with your squash which is always interesting.
In the middle of winter here in New Zealand. Thank goodness I have amazing you tube gardeners like you Jess to keep me going and dreaming of warmer garden weather and gardening. Regards Maria
Benjamin is a living doll!!!! The look on his little face when describing that pepper is probably the cutest thing I’ve seen all year!
Some drive-by jerk with loud music attempts to gets Jess a copyright strike at 28:10, the face at 28:12 says it all.
Please make a "Juicy Tomato 'SPLAT' " shirt. Ha-ha-ha😁
Your Benny is such a sweetheart! It was so precious to watch him eat that pepper & come back for seconds! Too cute.
Great Job, Jess. Thanks for sharing. God bless you all.🤗🙏🌹
You make it ok to really love gardening and to be enthusiastic all year long… it’s so much fun ✝️❤️
Ben's so smart lol "sometimes peppers are spicy"
You look so cute and fresh today.
Squash Casserole

Yield:
Makes 8 servings
By Southern Living
It’s a tried-and-true classic. It’s a hearty casserole. It’s an easy recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. It pleases - ahem, wows - a crowd. It never (ever) gets old. This is the type of recipe that demands doubling or even tripling. Squash casserole is pure comfort food. When you’re in the kitchen prepping one, you do as your mother did, and you prepare another. And another. Mama would make an extra casserole to have on hand for enjoying on a later day, or for serving at a celebratory occasion. Your mother made another to bring to a friend or a neighbor. That’s right, add “freezes beautifully” to the list of things we love about this hearty, soul-satisfying dish. This is an easy squash casserole recipe to have in your repertoire for whipping up for the Church potluck or for when you’re asked to bring a side that serves eight to ten. It’s also a good option for pulling together when you’re entertaining guests over a long holiday weekend. The true secret to its long-term success can be found in the simple ingredient list: three pounds of sliced yellow squash, shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, two beaten eggs, five tablespoons of butter, and creamy mayonnaise. To finish it off, sprinkle twenty round, buttery, crushed crackers on top. Creamy, cheesy, filling, and a little crunchy - wonderful for special occasions or any given Sunday. Celebrate the yellow squash, the summer vegetable overflowing at farmers markets and stands across the South, by tasting its golden, bubbly goodness baked and straight-from-the-oven.
Ingredients
3 pounds yellow squash, sliced 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided 1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 20 round buttery crackers, crushed (about 3/4 cup)
Powered by Chicory
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook squash in boiling water to cover in a large skillet 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain well; gently press between paper towels.
Step 2
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in skillet over medium-high heat; add onion, and sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Remove skillet from heat; stir in squash, cheese, and next 4 ingredients. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
Step 3
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Stir together melted butter and crushed crackers; sprinkle evenly over top of casserole.
Step 4
Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes or until set.
Step 5
Note: To lighten, reduce butter to 3 tablespoons, using 2 tablespoons to sauté onion. Substitute 1/2 cup egg substitute for eggs and low-fat versions of mayonnaise, cheese, and crackers. Proceed as directed.
Wait until May for peppers!!!!! Lol. I LOVED this tour even though it got too dark.
Oh I do wish RUclips had a ❤ button! I loved everything about the tour tonight.
Got my Holy basil seeds from Baker Creek, direct sowed outside in a pot a couple weeks ago and the seedlings smell wonderful!
I was visiting zone 7 that had ripe tomatoes while I live in zone 5, and bought a tomato at the farmers market. I didn't have time to end up slicing it and eating it, so I ate it at the airport and got juice all over my white shirt. Worth it
Those long squash look like swans!! So beautiful!! Where’s your roselle or hibiscus plants? Love your amazing garden! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Ben is soooooo adorable! He is Miah's little double. Jess you keep me inspired!
My peppers that were transplanted later seem to be doing better too!! Love your videos and channel 😍😍😍
Simply amazing what 1 little seed can produce. More importantly is seeing the joy yow share with your YT followers. The kiddos, well, they exude and radiate the joy of the garden as well. May God continue to bless you. You as so appreciated. Until next time as you say, I bless you. 😁
I live the low light video bc it's how things are sometimes, I'm in FL, fall gardening is awesome here but the daylight hours are much shorter so I use a headlamp sometimes to check on the garden before and after work. I only get to see the garden now in daylight on weekends and days off work. I appreciate the passion and persistence!
Grow some pumpkins in the open spots!
And some catnip for the kittens!
lol ive watched this so many times and im just now noticing maliah at 8:55
I love Ben's take on the peppers. So cute.
Ben I hope one day if I meet your parents I can talk to you. You are my favorite little gardener ❤❤❤
Love Benjamin he is a doll and gonna be such a great gardener. Teaching the kids to be in the garden is so very important!
She definitely looks like Miah. Love these tours and of course Benjamin.
Hi! I have a suggestion for you concerning pest control. I also had a flea beetle infestation, among other things. I went ahead and bought a pack of 10 million predatory nematodes. I applied as directed and viola!! No more flea beetles. Cost about 50 bucks, and treated a 350 sqft garden.
Watching this makes me realize how many little decisions we gardeners make as we walk through our gardens. Decisions, decisions...Pull it? Leave it? Trim it back? Let it get bigger? 🧐 👍🏻
HEY JESS....YOU MIGHT LIKE TRYING RED MEXICAN SUNFLOWERS IN ONE OF YOUR BOXES....THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND ATTRACT BUTTERFLIES AND HUMMING BIRDS.
Sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do! My first year on this property (our forever home) I battle slugs something awful. I had hundreds of tomatoes, but I had to take them all before they were fully ripe, or I wouldn’t have gotten any :)
My Tulsi basil is the MOST fragrant plant in my garden! By far. I can’t imagine one with no fragrance.
Cannot wait for our beans to grow after watching all of your videos. Y'all are so inspiring. 💜
Well, my tomatoes are flowering and cherry tomates are green, I have two tiny baby cukes on a cuke plant, corn is growing, and I have somezucchini growing as well as squash plants so things are finally looking up here. June was cold and WET! Love to you all!
oh my gosh.. I was really stressed this morning and this is just making me so much happier. Thank you for the stress relief.
side note, I love the fireflies this time of year! We are in GA
I love night sounds. I would stay in your garden. My garden in finally taking off here in Ohio. The spring rains really put us behind.
Yes at 27:05 - that is indeed a glorious sight!! I bought some of those Baker Creek zinnia seeds too - you inspired me! :)
Arkansas Little Leaf cucumber has seeds, in my limited experience, taste like honey. And it's a pickling cucumber! That one will grow in my garden forever, I love the White Wonders but Arkansas Little Leaf has a very special place in my heart.
That little boy has my heart.
i've never grown okra or those tiny melons, actually no melons have ever done good in my garden. Next year i am going to try those tiny types and okra too. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks to Ben for being the cutest taste tester ever.
Grow Roselle (Red Hibiscus} in your blank spaces for tea!! I’m growing it for the first time this year and I’m thrilled with the production. They also get almost 6 feet tall so it would be good in your square bed next to the fence. You can eat the leaves and make tea with the leaves as well as the Calix.
Love ❤️ Little Bens quotes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. Your garden is just beautiful love your garden tours thank you for taking us in your garden.
Benjamin is so photogenic and such a big helper. So sweet
Don’t blame blame the cuces. I too get spicy when it’s hot outside. Thanks to you I am also growing climbing triple crop and they are the biggest, best tasting tomatoes I have ever grown!
Thanks for the tour.
We need a salsa making tutorial 😱❤️
I was so engrossed in your tour and I let my dishwater overflowed!! Great job lol
"don't pick it its just a baby" so cute
That squash looks like a swan! :)
I love all of your content, but the garden tours are by far my favorite. Thank you for letting me have a garden this season by living vicariously through yours this year. Next year I hope that I will be growing my own garden once again. It won't be anywhere near as wonderful as yours, but it will be wonderful...because it will be mine. But in the meantime, wonderful garden, Jess.
I just can’t handle how cute Benjamin is! TOOOOOO CUUUUUUTE!!!!
Beautiful garden!
I’ve been using Captain Jack’s dead big brew on some plants & it has been really effective.
My dad also shared with me that a natural way to protect your plant is by putting sticks around the base of the plant when planting & this will deter a lot of caterpillars, especially cutworms. Maybe just an old farmers tale but the plants I have sticks around are the only one’s that I haven’t found any creepy crawlers on.
My Cantaire beans are producing like crazy already! And they’re sooooo good sautéed in a cast iron pan with butter. I pick them DAILY. Your garden is beautiful. I can’t wait to try some new varieties inspired by your garden in the fall and next year.
I love that you were so enthusiastic that you kept going after dark. Beautiful garden, family and way of life!
Am doing some binge watching of older episodes that I never have seen yet. I started watching your channel in 2020 when I found one of your tomato videos. Finished catching up on the 2018 garden tours yesterday. It's been wonderful since I missed the window for a fall garden this year, accept for some lettuce seeds that fell into a garden tub from lettuce plants in my Green Stalk. The fall volunteer lettuce is looking great!
Another beautiful tour....thank you, sweet Jess...you brighten my day every time!! Please thank Ben and Malia for being here too! xo
Delicious tomato is known for big tomatoes. I had a huge garden once in the country where I had a small greenhouse and lots of old cow manure and I don't know what variety it was because every seed i planted grew great with the green house. It made beautiful really delicious and really big pinkish tomatoes. They were thin skinned but so luscious and meaty, sweet and mild.
I love the green tomatoes. I use them for green tomato relish and I make mustard pickles in the fall with them. I use all the weird shaped ones. So yummy.
I love that Ben picks and eats.😃😋👍👍
Your dreaming big devotional and your Chanel in general means a lot to me. Thank you so much. If at any point you could just mention what equipment you use to make the blogs I’d love to know as I’m trying to start my own garden yours and yet nothing I’m using seems to work.❤️💜💚💛💙
I have been binge watching your videos for two days now - amazing. I feel as though I have completed 30 credits of Gardening University. Thank you so much!
Also the noodle bean arch is drool worthy!!! We just moved into our home this past September and we’re garden “planning” for next year. I’ve learned so much from your channel. We live close too, in NWA so it’s helpful learning how your plants temperaments are for my future knowledge. Thanks for sharing so much of your life for us to learn from!
How adorable is that little guy!
It blesses my heart to see Ben in the garden, he is so precious. Enjoyed the video Jess, blessings
Hi, my holy basil smells like cotton candy. I like it a lot. Have a blessed day.
I get so excited for this!!! I thought I was done buying seeds for the year, but I guess not. Need more beans and peppers now!
Great Garden, great harvest! My garden is smaller and a little behind yours...We had so much rain and flooding, with the Arkansas River in my front yard. But things are kicking in now. Like your garden, a few of my squash plants are barely holding on despite the squash bug damage. Tomatoes are on the cabinet too. Just finished fermenting 2 half-gallon jars Yellow and Green Zucchini Squash Pickles that turned our REALLY GOOD!. Used a little Kefir whey to innoculate some oversized fruit and made the slices kind of thick so they still have crunch. They are mild and wonderful tasting and soooo easy! Thanks for sharing your garden...Loved it! Can't wait for the next tour!
