The vest is sooooo you. Perfect!!!

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you!

[@-Jesuslovesyou-13]

Happy birthday! I just started watching you a few days ago but I absolutely love your videos. They inspire me to try to create my own things and maybe even start gardening!

[@bublhed]

Love the photos at the end! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to grow luffa, and those cherry tomatoes you grow next year.

[@toddmiller1753]

Happy early birthday 🎉! This is gonna be a great year in the garden for you!

[@carrisastone6633]

I believe you put the freeze drying rack upside down, the rubber red part is supose to be the bottom.

[@itsbreellis]

It in there right 👍🏻

[@julieagain]

If you save your tomato skins & seeds, freeze dry them, make a powder & rehydrate them when you need tomato paste. Super easy & delicious

[@itsbreellis]

Ill have to try that!

[@daviddeininger2938]

A lady this morning on a show showed how important it is to sanitize your pruner after use. She used 10 parts water to 1 part bleach. After cutting up your tomato plants it would be good to do that. Lorraine

[@kichigai548]

Best thing to use is 3% hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle that you can get at CVS or any general store. I’d use bleach and as an alternative. Clean your pruners before every plant you prune as to not cross contaminate any possible fungus or diseases

[@MovingBlanketStudio]

I like the simple design of the compost area. Sometime I see examples that look difficult to access and are too complicated. I think I'll try to mimic that.

[@jackiek4159]

That carrot cake looked absolutely delicious! 😍🙌🏻🥕

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you 😋

[@DwarfComic]

Those end pics! So funny.

[@richelleg225]

This is an El Niño year, which it probably why you haven't had frost yet. Your carrot cake looked delicious! Have you thought about making morning glory muffins? You might like them too! I've been procrastinating baking after my zucchini bread marathon 😅. Also, my son got very excited to see your cat! Thank you for including her! And congratulations on your cool vest find! Have fun with it!

[@itsbreellis]

I havnt but ill look at recipes! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@kelseyfolkers3258]

What do you do to amend your beds? Love your videos! Had my first garden this summer!

[@karsonbarclay]

Try adding echinacea to your tincture.

[@cowboylikeizzie]

I love your content!

[@itsbreellis]

thanks for watching!

[@takingtally]

So where did you get that MUG! So cool. Congrats on a great gardening season!

[@itsbreellis]

wildingceramics.com and thank you!

[@staceygoochdavidson4309]

I think you put you freeze dryer rack upside down the orange rubber side go down.

[@itsbreellis]

It is down, thanks for looking out!

[@nothing-b2n]

Yes it is

[@SamanthaTwist]

Love your videos 🫶

[@jayneeburks8482]

Inchelium is pronounced In-chel-ee-um 😊. At least that is how we pronounce it in the North West. It is a native word. I have mine ready to plant. Can't wait.

[@itsbreellis]

Thanks for that! I couldnt find any way to pronounce online lol

[@MoonHunterYT]

Where are your older chickens?! So happy to finally see the new ones! :)

[@itsbreellis]

They went to our friends to have 5 acres and all their chickens have access to free range fully. I needed to break up my girls, they wouldn't get along no matter what I tired for the last 6 months. The update from our friends is they have been doing great! I unfortunately can only have up to 12 in my city, so trying to break up my flock would have been tough with my current space. I addressed it in one video but I should probably touch on it again. I cant wait to have more space to keep older hens with me/ allow them more space so issues like that don't become a problem. Until then its nice to have friends who will gladly take them as they get older.

[@MoonHunterYT]

That's so wonderful that you had a friend willing to take them who can send you updates! Sounds like a dreamy place for your chickens. Here in wichita I had to give away three roosters (all were sexed as hens) and I cried each time not knowing what would become of them lol. It's tough. I also hope to have lots of land someday so I can keep all my chickens and they can free range on acres and acres as well.

[@MoonHunterYT]

Mine do free range in my backyard and I do think that helps them from picking on each other.

[@jessicagonzalez141]

Wow Bre, congrats on your 100K. Can’t believe how much your channel is growing, but not surprised. Keep it up. And love the sweater vest. Fashion is meant to be fun so enjoy it all. Question, where is your hose from? Love from Philly💚

[@itsbreellis]

Thank you! its from hoselink.com

[@shellyrogers1256]

Is there a chance you would sell some of your luffa seeds to someone local? Also, your chicks look like they're doing great! Happy early birthday!

[@britherr6908]

Or sell your luffas for people who can't grow them?

[@caitlynryan9593]

Where is your mug from that you had at the end of the video, it was so cute!

[@itsbreellis]

wildingceramics.com its my favorite!!

[@eccentricbeliever7]

ohh that sweater it's so ugly I love it

[@SharonBrookes-y6w]

Brie have you watched Charles Dowding He is the master of No dig and Compost making! He will save you so much money in compost just watch him and try him out! The open bays you have are not the best!

[@itsbreellis]

I have! Ill look into it thanks for the suggestion. This has always been a easy/temporary thing while we move properties one day. Didnt want anything to permit.

[@mrslsix]

I am starting a chickem flock next spring and have been looking for n coops. I really like your coop. Where did you get it?

[@MoonHunterYT]

Her and her husband made it!

[@mrslsix]

@@MoonHunterYT I was afraid of that. Thank you

[@melindasweeney8333]

This video is exactly what I needed. I want to start composting (first yr gardening) So you just did a layer of plant matter then leaves and dirt? Do you add scraps too? Also I want to plant garlic for the first time. I know you said you were going to buy bags of compost for your garlic bed. Do you add anything else to amend the soil before planting? Fertilizers? I was going to plant the last weekend in oct. So you want to get it in the ground before the first frost? Or wait til first frost? Sorry i know this is a lot of questions. Thank you for the video.

[@itsbreellis]

Ive been pretty hands off with my composting and its always worked. Dont over think it but yes. I do scraps all the time! Those would act as your "greens- aka anything alive" Your browns would be dead plants, tree leaves, card board etc. As long as you layer the 2 and mix every so ofter you should be good to go! Theres a lot more science behind everything so defiantly look into some stuff before getting started! As far as garlic goes I test my soil on occasion. I will put compost down and some worm castings maybe some other amendments but I typically start adding more once we get into next years growing season such as blood meal and bone meal. Planting is up to you, I try to wait until after our first frost because we always warm back up. But I may be planting before hand still havnt fully made up my mind. The beauty of gardening lol Hope that helps!

[@melindasweeney8333]

@@itsbreellis This helps sooooo much!! Thank you! Is it ok for my compost to be just on the ground if I don't have a composter and such?

[@sealskin5221]

Hi, Bree!😊 If it's possible, can you tell me the thing you used to seal your mylar bag? I'm looking for an inexpensive way to seal my food. Thanks!

[@itsbreellis]

Heres a link to it - harvestright.com/product/12-impulse-sealer/

[@richelleg225]

Some people use flat hair irons, or even regular clothes irons with a wooden block underneath to seal mylar. Just make sure it melts enough to make a proper seal, but that impulse seal probably works faster and is easier to use.

[@melissabirkbeck7535]

Just found your page :) wondering what part of US you're in? And if the climate is similiar to mine... i want to grow some luffas!

[@jessicacummins5498]

You have only baby chicks right now? Did I miss an update on your laying hens? :(

[@JulieeJuicee]

I love that vest, I need one with cats 😂 and I’ve been contemplating about getting a dehydrator and you make it seem so worth it! Love your videos, they inspire me so much!

[@itsbreellis]

I tried to find one with cats at first lol theres some fun ones!!

[@SamanthaTwist]

Where do you order your garlics from?

[@HeatherCaldwellParker]

Hey there! What zone are you in?

[@MoonHunterYT]

She's in kansas zone 6b

[@Jamiesonlindley]

Wait wait wait, when did you get a Wyandotte? She’s beautiful but I swear you had all red hens like Rhodes island and is a brown

[@itsbreellis]

I did thank you!! and yes I had all isa and golden comets. My older ladies went to our friends to have 5 acres and all their chickens have access to free range fully. I needed to break up my girls, they wouldn't get along no matter what I tired for the last 6 months. The update from our friends is they have been doing great!
