An Act of Love for my Seedlings | VLOG

[@caseyiles8546]

Grogu is looking for frogs around the water fountain. Great place for him.

[@jeanrichards8042]

Little grogu could be like a garden elf on the shelf...I can see Ben moving him around and every time you go out to the garden being surprised by him 🤣

[@kooplala1]

😂😂😂

[@shannonweldon2418]

I was thinking the same thing!! That is something my nieces and nephews would do!

[@bryannaodessaharder]

We are your little seedlings and every video is an act of love. Don't mind Jess, She's out back planting gardeners. and Ben is the sweetest little gardener yet.

[@wilmanorman3546]

Hi Jess🕊️ Just wanted to pop in and let you know why I watch you most of the time. It is because of regardless of what happens, there is such a radiant light in your eyes that I see the Lord shining through. Your love of all things shine for me to see. You are such an amazing inspiration of all of God's glory. Thank you from the bottom, to the top of my heart for sharing yourself for all to see 🤍

[@plantabundance]

Hey y'all! Just stopping by to say hi. That greenhouse is a dream. It would be hard to get me back in the house. Take care.

[@rebeccafox5041]

I absolutely love watching Ben's excitement. ❤️

[@xAliceisAlivex]

Missed your videos 😍 I fell into a huge depression… Right before you moved to the new property. I couldn’t enjoy watching anything for over a year. You and evolutionary energy arts are my absolute favorites. I have a lot of catching up to do! You gave me the confidence to grow things. Just thought I would say thank you! Trying to get my groove back and think about plants.. chickens.. 🌱 😘 you make such a positive difference in the world!

[@wanda9740]

Glad you're back, Alice! I try to keep up as well. Let's like and Comment- I'll look for you!

[@evalinawarne1337]

Thank you for opening up and sharing from your heart. I am GREATFUL and thankful for you. GOD BLESS YOU. FROM MICHIGAN. I HOPE TO SEE YOUR NAME SOON..CHOW. LOVE & PRAYING WITH YOU.💔❤️🀄🙏🛐✝️👍🌹🥀🎉💗💯☀️👍💐🌺🌻🎂🌺💕☀️💯🌹🥀🎉💗🀄🙏🛐✝️

[@earthzeroapothecary]

Sending you love, healing, and high vibes, beautiful soul!!

[@teresamariner4238]

Glad you're back. You're in good, safe company. It will b warming up soon so I know that will help me. Cold is quite depressing to me, especially sense I'm very cold sensitive, and being alone doesn't encourage excitement and desire to do much. Hugs.

[@erikas974]

Aliceis I don't know you but I can tell if you go back and start watching Jess where you left off you will feel better faster. I had some dark times and Jess lifted me out of it. I know everybody different just try hope it works for you too. I am sendind big giant🫂 from 🌏Downunder with 🐨🦘🐨🦘and 😍🤗🌞🌝

[@margiebrown7436]

Your little garden helper is so cute. 😊

[@gibsonlindseyspaulding7450]

Spider plants prefer to stay above 55 degrees and cannot handle freezing temperatures. They do well in low light and bright light and prefer to stay on the moist side but can handle drying out occasionally. Great, easy house plant. Be warned that cats love to chew on them 🙂

[@lauriesmith7517]

Yes, but it is one of the few houseplants which is NOT toxic for cats.

[@earthzeroapothecary]

Yes, they do!! Hahahaha! My husband had to build a cat deterrent cage that we put on a table to keep them from eating the baby spider plants. Hahahaha!!

[@gibsonlindseyspaulding7450]

@@earthzeroapothecary oh my gosh that's awesome! I have mine hanging in a window so they can't reach.

[@anna-marieclinton9902]

Didn't know spider plants could go outside! Canadian here. And spider plants are very common house plants

[@rhodi-anne]

Dearest Jess, I feel like I have said this before, and I will say it again. Our lives have so many synchronicities, moving to a new farm over the same period, learning about a new piece of land and dreaming it into something it never was, so many days your content speaks to my soul as you calm my nerves with your ‘over shares’ and content you think the general masses are not looking for. I love it and I am so grateful for you. I took my phone while watching this post to my hubby who ‘knows Jess’ through me, and he could not believe the spider plant in your green house, I have just propagated over a hundred babies from my mother plants to distribute on our piece of land under the trees, you see I live in a very hot place in South Africa and we know the Spider plant as a Hen and Chicken which is indigenous to RSA. They have roots like elephant garlic that are bulbs that are extremely drought tolerant which is needed for where I live. So as I have read above the spider plant will tolerate all kinds of environments, but here were we live they thrive in dry shade under tree’s with little attention. If feels weird to tell you I feel blessed to have you in my life when you know so little about me… but I guess thats your gift to the world touching our lives with your sweet heart, making the world a better place with every breath you take. Much gratitude and love coming your way from my heart to yours.

[@ivarsmomakakasey4988]

Fun fact, I've been watching since 2018 and I also say happy birthday little guys now. The other day I heard my 6 year old telling the carrot sprouts happy birthday! Made my heart smile! Ps love grogu. New season March 1st!

[@gelwood99]

Just sticking this on here to be taken as it is. A group of women in our chicken group, took a clutch of eggs and ran warm water in the sink, added a cap full of liquid bleach, and "washed" the eggs prior to setting them, don't soak but a gentle wash or rubbing the dirt away. The eggs were rinsed well with fresh warm water, patted dry, and set as day one. 21 days later we all had 98% hatch rates. We were in different states and used different breeds of birds from our flock. We have always been told to never wash the eggs to protect the bloom but right before they go in the incubator was when we washed them and it worked too. No issues caused by poppy eggs and no bacteria risks, no blood rings of failures. We did several hatches as we tried it over the summer and we all had higher hatch rates than years prior. So unless you have valuable exotic eggs, it would be worth trying to prevent a rotten egg explosion in the incubator. I will not incubate any questionable eggs again without the wash first. It is less than a 10% solution which is what we use to sanitize tools and restaurant tables but is safe to use at that strength. You decide for yourself but we are in mud season and if you want to incubate eggs give it a try.

[@jacquegeha2]

Your greenhouse is just pure magic. Seeing plants in it now and that table is just going to be amazing in there. I’ve watched you from the beginning and oh my how Big Ben is getting 😭 my youngest daughter is the same age, also a lover of the garden. Wish they’d slow down on the growing a little bit ❤️

[@stephanier1336]

So cool hatching your own eggs !

[@mfarmer2112]

🕊You could make an adjustable hanging planter in the corner of the greenhouse to hang down to Ben's height where he can water itRobby, in time send out it's own baby Robbies🌱🌱 and if you ever get a supply of ladybugs have Ben put a dozen in his plant so as not to get spidermites. I love when the plant sends out little ones it reminds me of fireworks when they shoot up and make an arch then the baby's look like 🎆 exploding fireworks.🐞🐞glad to see Ben back to gardening, such a sweetie pie 💞🙏🕊

[@kathymc234]

What could Ben make Robbie's babies? Roberta?

[@gaylewatkins4685]

I love your channel. There is always so much joy.🌞💕🪴💕🌱💕💫💕

[@terriespock5384]

Love, love love Benjamin

[@belieftransformation]

Thanks for sharing! Great plant knowledge! Blessings to all🤗💕🇨🇦

[@TracyCotterman]

Anyone else think that Baby Yo is going to be the traveling man of the garden this year? 🤔 🤣

[@scattershomestead]

Agreed! Spider plants are so hearty!!!!

[@GEOsustainable]

That would be me, in the garden first thing I do. Second thing, coffee ALWAYS coming before anything. I love this time of year, planting is so exciting. My dream is to feed my community.

[@ireneturner2944]

Hi Benny.. you can put Robie out side when it warms up,, but put Robie in the shade. Robie doesn't like the direct SUN.. Good seeing you Benny, say hi to the other boy's for me. See you soon 😊

[@PatrickPoet]

Those dandelions are great. They're putting down deep roots and bringing nutrients up to the surface:) Grab some of the leaves to add to a salad. They're a great bitter green, one of my favorites. I love the flavor.

[@barbararuthsmith2882]

Just wanted to say I love your podcasts especially the last one on community. So much knowledge and wisdom for one so young. God is certainly talking to you and your are listening.

[@jackielaures4060]

Robby would be perfect in his own little pot set under the fountain.. and then sweet Benjamin could bring Robby’s pot into his room for the winter months.

[@tracyzabelle]

❤ Ben is going to be a great farmer

[@foodsourcegardenernz]

Hey Jess, spider plants can handle heaps of water, we use to put the little baby plants I'm our fish tank (fully submerged) and they were fine, they are very adaptable

[@karenl7786]

Seedling time, the best!

[@paigeh4231]

My spider plant spends the entire summer outside and LOVES it. Definitely bring in for winter.

[@melissasekely5107]

Hey did you ever think of making that bathtub into a worm bin? You could even put some piping on it so that you can get the worm castings tea right out of it. David the good did a video about it a week or so ago.

[@joyceswansey8116]

You watch your mommas like I watch my plants. I go out many time a day to look at plants even when I know I can’t see a change.🤪

[@kerrivincent85]

Spider plants are so fun because you can give all the little babies to your friends! Except for I have to keep replacing my larger ones with the baby ones because my cats like to eat them!🫠 Also, they do love water. You can actually leave them in just water if you don’t want them to get too large, but it would most likely be an annual plant if you planted it outside..so might want to keep Robbie in a pot under the fountain so you can bring him in when it gets cold.😊

[@CynthiaHollenberger]

Your cays are tripping. Spider plants are hallucinogenic, not a lot, just a little bit.

[@tonijurkones8373]

Good morning 😃

[@naturenerdwi6381]

Gosh, every time I see that table 😍 what a beautiful work of art!!

[@sonnyamoran7383]

Yes they grow great outside.

[@tammyhinkle5890]

Hey Ben. My name is Tammy and I live near Los Angeles, CA. Since I was a little girl(50+) my dad and I have been growing spider plants outside alllllllll year long. In planters... In the ground.... Everywhere. If you plant near water the tubers will swell and act as a water supply in drought.👍keep growing little guy!

[@jayjohnson3724]

You win the cute kid contest. He is adorable.

[@kristinafrancis9695]

When we lived in Morgan Hill CA, Our townhouse association had spider plants in the outdoor landscape by our front door - We were zone 9b...They were in a mostly shady area...Be blessed!!!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings

[@choirmom78]

I'm always thankful to see your posts first thing in the morning. Good start for my day. And I bless y'all.

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

I plant all kinds of houseplants outside in my garden and flowerbeds. I live in 6b so I have to dig them and bring in for winter, but they love their summers outside! I say do it Ben 💚 also they don't mind having wet feet and could use a little shelter from direct sun, so under the fountain wouldn't be a bad place for Robbie 😁

[@homesteadwannabee4253]

Spider plants are warm weather porch plants, (I hang mine in trees and Shepard hooks in the shade). I bring mine in long before freezing temps. They live in my bathroom over winter for the humidity. They are so prolific. Blessings ~

[@coachnatalie8723]

I absolutely adore your channel

[@oldbear6813]

I live with 3 boys and the house is never heated higher than 66° and now that I'm menopausal 56° would be nice 🤣🤣

[@onemoredoll5791]

🤣🤣🤣 I concur!

[@Byrdroostfarm]

Love watching your videos! ❤

[@deannewilliams3321]

Spring seems to have definitely sprung here. This morning it dipped to close to freezing, at daybreak. Ten day forecast low of 60’s highs in 80’s. I’m totally loving the Louisiana Irises around the fountain with the Ewok ⛲️ and I’d probably put the eagle out at the end of my driveway where it splits into a circle… planning a garden bed there with Sega palms and hostas with ferns and liriope all around… it’s a shady spot. Anyway, nice to see seedlings popping up and you spending more time in the greenhouse! Have a fantastic day!

[@debbiebolman2705]

Yes! Use house plants as annuals! That baby spider plant can take more water than you think and the shade is a necessity. I use tradescatia (bridal veil) as an annual ground cover

[@melindalafave8598]

Spider plants are perfectly happy outside in Virginia Beach, zone 7B!!

[@RachelSpring85]

I need a garden Grogu now, oh my goodness I love it! haha

[@ruthzeller5285]

Love your little buddy. I have a six year old who follows me and it's the best

[@gaysullivan1942]

Jess, I wanted to leave a comment on your community podcast but it’s here because I couldn’t figure out how…. It was a such a good topic . You have a wonderful use of words and insight . I found the message very personal for me. After losing my love and having to move, I needed to find and create a new community for myself. I love listening to these and guess what, I try to listen when I am preparing a from scratch meal!

[@juliereis146]

The water would not bother the spider plant but the cold will. Sorry Ben 💕💕

[@ilzitek2419]

Your cows are beautiful.

[@tdleitch]

Ok, the look on Ben’s face when you excitedly and loudly said “baseball size fruit” and shot your hand out was hilarious. I’m not sure if he was startled or genuinely excited as well but it was priceless. Too cute!

[@debbenelson1219]

I just doesn't matter what your content is, I always enjoy listening/watching. God has gifted you for such a time as this❤️ In my experience, Spider plants are not cold tolerant. I am able to put mine outside for the summer, should be partial shade due to hot summers here. Last year I didn't get it watered enough for the heat it endured, but it is so Hardy that it survived inspite of me😉 AND under the stress produced an amazing abundance of babies!! It's a living object lesson from the garden of what God can do in one's life when we're in a valley of suffering/stress!

[@beverlyclayton1244]

Hello Ben! I planted a baby Robbie in a hanging basket on my front porch last summer. I live in the mountains of NC. It received lots of morning sun and was very happy! I look forward to watching your Robbie grow and have babies!! Oh my, maybe Robbie is a little girl!!!

[@lanalovesjesus6133]

“Tryin to get those digits “ 🤣

[@patamthor4934]

Ben is so cute and interested in the plants! Wow you have so much started, can't wait to see it all grow I cane hear water dripping after snow melting on the roof! In Aztec NM. HAPPY for moisture!

[@WishingonaFarm12]

OMG girl! I need that FIG in my life🙌😂 loving the videos. Have a blessed day

[@amandawilk5316]

For sweet Ben I'm in Austin, TX and my neighbor has had a spider plant outside for years hanging in a pot.

[@Mama_Nells_Garden]

oh boy do those spider plants love the ground. They will spread their roots and grow.... ALL over the place. lol. But dang is it hard to pass up a beautiful spider plant.

[@sharonrose818]

Yes, Robby can be planted outside over the summer and brought back in when it's fall. I do that near Chicago.

[@karenbruggeman8412]

Oh so cool last year those where in the 🛁 bath tub! 🤣 I probably would never leave that greenhouse it's so beautiful ❤️

[@heatherklotzbach4905]

Same with the space heater here mama!

[@lelaandrews5439]

I live in Willamette Valley in Oregon, and yes you can put your spider plant outside,

[@aileenbell6750]

I keep my spider plants out year round in Tucson 9b. I keep them well watered and out of direct Arizona Sun. All those spider babies you have, I would give it a try once you have a plant more established. 👍

[@kaylahbasoco]

I love your shoes!

[@jessidutton3441]

You're a good mom...

[@jeaniebeanie3350]

Such a joy to see Ben with you in your videos.

[@CraftyTreasuresByGigi]

I have a thermometer similar to that. My little greenhouse is close enough to the house to stay connected to the WiFi. But I live in a neighborhood. I’m just super excited to have any kind of greenhouse 🎉

[@samanthaw1419]

Spider plants are perfect for a bathroom, they enjoy the moisture and purify the air. Can I suggest some carniverous plants for Ben, they love to be overwatered and are interesting for children. My little boy loved them and cacti.

[@pamelalittlechild2923]

I always start my baby spider plants in just water until they get their roots, but they are definitely an indoor plant until the summer xx

[@brelsfordfamilyhomestead]

I put spider plants outside every year. I’ve never put them in the ground but they look great in planters. Robbie could be brought in each Fall, uppotted and then put out again in the Spring. He will get huge and beautiful.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Sweet Jess, I plan on direct sowing my lettuce seeds after my last frost. In the mean time, I've started growing lettuce in water by using the ends of my last lettuce heads. When I make a salad, I just cut the leaves of the ends which are growing roots in water.. This holds me over until I can harvest from the garden. I'm doing celery this way, and test some bok choy ends as well. Nice flat of lettuce, and brasacas!

[@everafterbookchat]

I wish our local places opened before May. That would be so nice. Perhaps a gap I could fill, lol!

[@gwenh7125]

Zone 3 and I have used variegated spider plants as a filler plant in my outside pots and never had a problem.

[@beckytalhelm6415]

Robby plant would do well in a partial sunny but more dryer soil. Used to plant them outside in Louisiana from my indoor houseplant.

[@sharonknorr1106]

We have an Ambient Weather Station and put one of the temperature sensors in our greenhouse. It has been so helpful as we can see the temp on the weather station display in the house, but also on our phones and computers. We can look at wave graphs every day to track conditions for the previous day or month, etc. The GH can heat up to 100F. so fast on a sunny day, even when it is very cold outside here in Colorado. I set alarms on my phone to check each day to check the temp in the morning and then later in the afternoon when the sun lowers in the sky and the greenhouse needs to be closed up. We have automatic vents in the GH, but sometimes they are not enough, especially on sunny days. Well worth the money we spent to set it up.

[@scole1999]

Robbie is a spider plant! Inside hanging plants! Off shoots can be planted but eventually a hanging pot is in its future! I’ll hang them outside in part shade under my gazebo during the summer but never full sun or in the ground!

[@heatherklotzbach4905]

It was perfect timing you checked and explained your checking process! I just gave someone eggs yesterday to incubate and this helps alot!

[@TheGardenLadyFL]

All the seed starting trays are so pretty! 🌱

[@growingonthegriddle4945]

You can place the spider plant outside during the summer Jess, but during the winter, the spider plant aka Robbie, needs the greenhouse during the winter....

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

You made my heart happy knowing the turkeys are being out of that cage prison they are in. Having a farm like yours, all animals should be free range, what is the sense of having acres of lands and animals are trapped in tiny places? Jess may I suggest a Loquat tree, they are such yummy fruits, full of vitamin C and the tress grow so easily and it is a hardy plant.

[@marigoldmeadowsfarm7495]

I grew spider plants in central Ca outside. We had a freak snowstorm & they all died. I’m in central Ky now and I only have indoor plants & outdoor plants. Nothing swishes back and forth. I love watching Ben. My granddaughter is my farm girl. She helps me from greenhouse seed starting to harvesting to cooking. She is 3. I pray we have many years of farm girl time together, especially since the farm is named for her. Blessings to you Jess, debby

[@teresarock7380]

We like to put onions, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and garlic on a tray in the smoker. When veggies are soft, I blend them with salt, lime juice, and cilantro. This makes a wonderful smoky salsa.

[@cdpoolgirl2813]

Robbie the spider plant will make it outside, if you leave it underneath the fountain it will do awesome, the only thing I would worry about is during winter time you may have to cover it up a little plastic because it is a tropical plant, enjoy Ben ☺️👋

[@Txnative7]

I've had spider plants outside for over 30 yrs. Zone 8,Central Texas. They come back/multiply every year.

[@katesimplystupendouscrafts6035]

I’m in zone 8 in DFW Texas and I have my spider plant/airplane plants in hanging baskets outside but bring them in during the winter.

[@Diyaba207]

Yes, we have lots of spider plants growing in our outdoor garden, including under a fountain - they multiply about as much as you might expect. We live in South Australia in an area that barely reaches freezing in winter and has hot, dry summers. I think it might be equivalent to USDA zone 10. Once you get past the risk of frosts Robbie will be happy pretty much anywhere and will love any water coming his way. You could transplant him into the ground even, then dig him up before your first frost date.

[@integsignatures2107]

Spider plants can do well outside and are great landscape plants. Mine has been outside since I brought it. They love water. The roots seek out water. I'm not one who water a lot.

[@tomlabadie2695]

Hello, I am new to your chanel, I love how informative you are, I have learned a lot. You can put black 55 gallon barrels in your greenhouse by the windows that have a lot of light coming in to gather heat from the sun ,so at night it puts out the heat until the sun comes out the next day.

[@CindDJo]

Hey Benny. I've planted Robby plants in my garden. I lived in California (Zone 9) and they filled a front garden patch. I would say that water might be a problem. If your space is too wet Robby will hate it. You might want to keep him in your room instead.

[@heycrisper]

I vote that maybe Ben and the boys need a tiny garden for them to put that cute Yoda! ♥ How adorkable! :D Love it. Kinda want one for my friend now....

[@susanwinslow9361]

Hi, I live I ontario and spider plants do great in baskets and pots outside in the warmer water, they are hardier than we think but here they don't winter over

[@HippieHomesteader]

I put my spider plants outside during the summer and bring them in during the winter. You can put Robbie in a pot and set him by the fountain during the summer... it'll get the spray off of the fountain.

[@Homestead-ish]

Seeing little seedlings in your greenhouse, just makes me so happy

[@dhansonranch]

I am in 3b and have planted spider plants outside in containers and in the garden as filler. They did well but I also do not let them have babies unless I want new ones. The solid green spider plants are hardier than the variegated. Neither will handle a frost. Enjoyed the video!

[@chitam5453]

I put spider plant babies in baby food jars with water and change it weekly. Once they grow roots I plant them in soil. I have one in partial sun and it is massive. I live in sunny San Diego so, coldest it gets is 30’s.

[@yousakitube]

I love you all, but Ben, OMG he is sooo cute. You all are, but Ben is really special :)

[@JenniferChurchman]

When I take my baby spiders off the mother plant, I prop them up in water so that little node at the bottom is covered, after a few days roots start growing. Once it's got good roots I plant in soil.
