Hey ya'll, I'm Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm
Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you'll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.
There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart - to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we've learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you're here.

I am about to head to my in-laws house to plan my Father in Law's funeral. He passed away from cancer last night. Your peaceful voice and gravel sounds have been so soothing to me as I prepare to walk through this today! Thank you for all you do.

[@Sky-Child]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

My prayers are with you and your family as you grieve ♥️

[@debwallace100]

I'm so very sorry for your loss

[@ThePurposefulPantry]

Bless your family as you walk through this season of life - may God give you peace and comfort!

[@mainenanabear9746]

So sorry for your loss, prayers for comfort for you and your family.

It's pretty easy (and cheap!) to make a dupe of the terro. You can use a small sour cream or dip container - as long as it has a lid that fits snugly. Poke about 6 small holes (2-3mm) in a single row near the top of the container (not in the lid). Using an ice pick or awl makes good sized holes. To make the solution, dissolve 1-2 tablespoons of borax in 1/4 cup of hot water. Add white granulated sugar until no more will dissolve (3-4 tablespoons). Put a couple small crusts of bread in the bottom of the container and saturate them with the borax mixture. Put the lid on the container and bury it halfway in the ground so the ants can easily get in and out of the holes. If you have frisky pets to protect, you can duct tape the lid if you want. Make multiple traps, or save the leftover mix in a jar. It's a guaranteed ant magnet/eliminator...and very economical. Hope this is helpful. 😊👍

[@margemoore6634]

Wow... Thanks so much

[@wisedove7]

@@margemoore6634 You are so welcome... I'm happy to share! I just want to emphasize that it is definitely poisonous to pets, so make sure to secure your container so no animals can get access to eat the stuff.

[@rheannonvandevoorde1048]

When my now teenage daughter was really young she used to refuse to eat fresh cooked or frozen green beans because she said they squeaked when you eat them and it was like they were screaming in her mouth. Needless to say, I decided to let her choose different vegetables to eat after that very imaginative description! 😬😂

[@Naneve1970]

😂😂

[@NuggetFarm2011]

"I really don't need two trellises of squeaky beans in my life." 😂😅 I about spit my cereal out with that line! 😆😅

[@greenrockgarden2851]

Ha! Ha! Squeaky beans! 😍the start of your video today! I used to be able to hear gravel under my feet as I walked through, or worked in, my garden and giggle at the chickadees’ little chirps that sounds like a dog’s squeaky toy. Feeling hummers zoom by my head. I watched butterflies flutter all around. It grounded me and brought me peace. Thank you suburbian sprawl! I’m now distracted by speeding, thumping cars, house parties, loud music, hammering, circular saws, nail guns on and and on. I still garden. I still watch the hummers and birds. It is just different now. Reminding you to enjoy those quiet moments in your garden to where you can hear yourself think.

[@a.chandler6993]

Jess, the very best organic treatment for fire ants is this drench: 2 Oz horticultural orange oil, 2 Oz horticultural molasses, 2 Oz liquid castille soap, 2 gallons H2O. You can also use compost tea instead of water. This drench will treat 2 mounds. It is not toxic to people, pets, wildlife. It actually conditions the soil. If you regularly broadcast dried molasses in your garden, you will not have fire ants. They detest it, and it will repel them effectively. There is also a ready made version of this drench in a product called Antifuego. But very easy to mix up and use yourself.

[@letsbehonest01]

Jess I love the bed of roses idea! Looks like a metal head board and metal foot board . My daughter passed away a few years ago......her middle name was Rose and I still have her white metal bed frame. I recently saw it in my storage shed. She picked that frame out when she was 8 yrs old and I was trying to think of a way to incorporate it in my garden. Gardening has been my therapy to overcome the grief and heartache I feel. My pain will always be there, but in the garden I am reminded of all the beauty that still remains. God's gentle way of giving me hope and a way to get lost in this beautiful world he created. I watch the hummingbirds whiz by, the nesting blue birds in their nesting boxes and a robin taking an afternoon bath in the bird bath. All such magical moments. I have watched your channel since the Arkansas days. I have learned so much. Thank you for all the garden chats and tours.

[@theIAMofME]

Happy Birthday, Asher!!!! Jess, Our late lunch supper today was so good. It even was better than I thought it would be. I grew the cabbage, potatoes, peppers and garlic that were in it!! I'm so proud of that. Sometimes I think the gardening community is the only few that would appreciate that. I LOVE growing food. But, most of all...MY FOOD!!! I wish I had grown it all. But, 4 of the things that went in it is getting there!!! I also used my saved bacon grease and my tallow that I had saved. No oils. Have a blessed day!!!

[@mj1294]

Wormwood, Jess. I chased ants out of my house in SF. And in my garden. You could actively watch them retreat. You are absolutely correct Jess. We each need to make peace with what we allow and don’t allow in our individual lives. We are the experts on what work for ourselves and our families.

[@thelees-livinginhislight]

How? Will this work on fire ants ?

[@1HappyPatty]

I mix Borax and honey... and slather it on a small piece of parchment paper... works like a charm, and then into the city compost it goes! I was SO happy to get rid of my $65 a month organic exterminator for ants!

[@DonnaBeaudin]

I do not care which kind of beans you plant. I will love your channel and enjoy your musings no matter what.

[@ourhomesteadclassroom]

We don't have the nasty fire ants, just the little sugar ants. But cinnamon works great for me. Just two days ago, I found a colony moving their larvae near my squash bed. Surrounded them with cinnamon (the cheap stuff I buy from a restaurant supply store just for the garden, not the good stuff I put in my coffee) and they were all gone within 24hr. 🐜

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

Wonderful remedy

[@HeatherNaturaly]

For bites and stings for people who are severely allergic, Mix slippery elm bark to a paste and add equal parts activated charcoal. You can keep it as a premixed gel and just grab it when they get bit and coat the bites. It's almost instant detox.

[@rachelleenderle1326]

Jess mix Borax soap and Carrow syrup together and set it next to the ant hill they will flock to it and eat the soap as well as bring it back to the nest. Kills the entire nest.

[@carolsgardenjournal8326]

Loved the peaceful opening Guitar, gravel crunch, comfy skirt, seed apron.... Ahh! Yes, Terro liquid ant bait works great indoors too, especially each Fall when the ants seek to escape the cold. I have two persistent ant colonies that set up shop every Summer in the corners of my raised beds. I douse them with the water hose, but they always return. I've read they behave like farmers tending the soil and gathering sap from plants, but I still don't like their presence. Love all your tips and seed sowing musings.

I’m obsessed with boron for health

I look forward to everything you post! My heart is in the garden and flower beds!!

[@lucydiazcolon734]

My parents are from Puerto Rico. My mom plants hyacinth purple beans very prolific. Purple pods and purple flowers. We harvest the pods when full and remove them and cook the in yellow rice and soups. We do not eat the pid itself as others do in India and in the Philippines. They climb and are gorgeous. Try them❤❤

[@denisebrady6858]

Jess I do not grow any variety of Beans as I find them all squeaky- beets have you ever tried pickling them in canning jars for salads OH YUM !!! I am growing Paul Robeson tomatoes for the first time here in Australia & WOW !!! I can't wait. Happy Birthday Asher !!! Cheers Denise Australia

[@suzannestack7784]

I grow radishes every year. They always jump right into flower. It's good though, I don't eat radishes 😆 I love how the bees love the flowers.

[@michellegoodwin8258]

I love finding bargains on plants that the big box stores have neglected. Bring them home give them some love and they bloom. It’s amazing. Thanks Jess for your inspiration. ❤

[@anniecochrane3359]

heres to change with no obligation - go for it, always!!!

[@thehamfamhomestead]

I'm so glad you addressed this. Ants have been a horrible issue for us and I also have a child who is horribly allergic to ants. Ours are fire ants. I have used DE, boiling water, coffee grounds, nothing has worked.

[@christinaperry584]

My in-laws from India told me that growing other things next to bitter melon makes them bitter as well. I’m growing bitter melon and bottle gourds for the first time this year! Thanks for the great videos!

Thank you Jess I have so much trouble with ants 🐜 they are in all of my flower beds and I can’t do it anymore. Yes! You bless me

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Jess, I hate to admit this but I grew the Shishito pepper from seed, planted it, harvested the peppers, put them in the fridge then thats it. I did not cook and eat them. You inspired me. But it seems I needed you in my kitchen to hold my hand and encourage me to cook them.

[@LoneTraveler-nc6rf]

My master gardener friend taught me for container gardening: plant the “Thrill (height), the Fill and the Spill (cascade).” Whenever contemplating what to plant, I always try to remember this for aesthetics and balance.

Haha!!! “Don’t need to trellises of squeaky beans in my life!” You’re so funny Jess! I love your videos! THANK YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ASHER!!!! BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS FOR YOU!!! 🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰

[@caseydoodlegirlartforte2569]

For fire ants I have had success using a concoction of Epsom salts and orange essential oil in warm water. I disturb the nest and then pour it into it. It’s worked on large colonies.

[@morganmay1]

The best ant and roach treatment I have ever seen is a boric acid powder...Terro is the first brand name we ever used!!!

[@wandafigueroa6281]

A bed of roses would be amazing… draping over like a beautiful comforter… omg… I can get carried over really quick with roses 😅😅😅

[@sdigiaco]

I use boiling water to manage ant hills. Circle the mound first and douse the middle. If you don’t circle the perimeter first they will spread out and build more mounds

[@angieowen1165]

I have just struggled period with my garden this year. I wanted to keep it simple because I knew time was not going to be on my side, we are in the middle of a major reno on our home. I just finished planting this past weekend 4 weeks late! I'm so discouraged lol

[@HabitualHobbies]

I love watching you grow new things and new varieties. You don't at all need to feel obligated to do the same things every year! Let yourself evolve and grow along with your garden! If that means not growing noodle beans, then so be it! Hopefully the Carolina Homestead Exchange can help you with food abundance when it's up and running! Local organic food for everyone! 😊

[@katiez5660]

It’s good you’re dealing with ants. Just because it hasn’t caused a anaphylaxis doesn’t mean it couldn’t in the future.

[@eurthavandijk2790]

You can cut the thai beans very smal and make it with butter onion bacon and water. Cook it on low heat until it is soft.😊

[@amyhurley5670]

Terro is the only ant killer I use... it is fabulous....

[@littleredhen7274]

I don't like beets either, but I grow them for the greens only. I leave the beetroot in the ground & just harvest the leaves all season. In my high tunnel, some were inadvertently left two seasons & still continued to produce flavorful greens, then went to seed...double bonus.

[@tangie_nthegarden]

Watching your videos give me inspiration for my garden

[@denisequick7270]

Really enjoyed this episode. We can’t grow everything. Reality sets in…

[@trueblonde316]

I read a post one time describing a grilling cheese as being “a squeaky cheese.” I think about it every time I eat the cheese. My brain can no longer process the flavor and the squeak.

Happy Sweet Sixteen Asher 💚🎂💚

[@umiluv]

I moved from Los Angeles to rural E TN so I grow a lot of Asian herbs and veggies since I have to drive an hour to buy any Asian veggies. Thai basil, Asian peppers, ginger, lemongrass, perilla (shio) do really well. I’m going to plant Asian cucumbers soon. Just check with the invasives list. I love eating perilla but it’s on the TN invasives list so I only grow it in containers and I make sure to not let it drop its seeds.

[@emilybh6255]

Shiso (perilla) isn't nearly as bad as mint and it is MUCH EASIER to pull out. I love it.

[@shill4]

We have perilla mint all over our barn lot. It’s horribly invasive and almost impossible to kill. I knew it was poisonous to live stock. I had no idea it was edible, much less medicinal. Wow! I learned something from you.

[@shill4]

Ps: I’m in middle Tennessee

[@lori2182]

I’m glad you mentioned the Terro. It works so well. I used to use it inside the house when the ants came in. Then I realized if I put some out side around the house then they don’t come to start with. Also, always buy the liquid kind. The others don’t work.

[@fallenangelwi25]

For eating beets that the whole family loves (even my anti veggie man!!!) Cut up beets, potatoes, onions, cabbage, carrots, (any veggies normally root) etc. Put in huge roaster. Top with alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, and salt. Top with sliced polish sausage and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Then stir and bake for another 45 minutes. We serve it with balsamic vinegar 😋 its a hit for anyone whos tried it!!! Feeds our family of 7 easily and nutritionally sound!!!

[@Meg_Davis]

Sounds delicious!

[@ridendurance]

I keep thinking someday I am going to try beets..., I will file this recipe and get adventurous. ❤

[@fallenangelwi25]

@ridendurance they're really good in savory dishes like this. The kids enjoy that they dye the sauce lol.

[@fallenangelwi25]

@MegDavis-Living-Inside-Out thank you 😊 I call it cabbage bake. It's something I came up with after our house burned down out of necessity. Of course, necessity makes some of the best dishes!!!

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

as long as you are doing Japanese veggies, do grow kabocha squash.. more velvety than a butternut or an acorn and you don't have to peel them, the skin cooks fine and you can eat it.. Thai coconut red curry is delish as well as buffalo stew.... the texture is amazing and they store as a winter squash

[@kimg5784]

One trellis of squeaky beans is enuf! LOL I love it- :)

[@emilyk1160]

You reminded me of the tillamook cheese factory in Oregon with your “squeaky” comment!! You can tour the factory but they also sell and handout samples of their fresh cheese curds~ ya get that squeaky effect! 😂

[@balconygarden3902]

Bitter melon is amazing and also excellent for people that are working on sugar control for type 2. I love to cook with it and it is worth growing and drying. Jess please soak and nick the bitter melon to improve germination.

[@JB-ks2wh]

I'm only going for what I love except flowers; never grown black eyed Susan flowers so it's my new thing this year. Use to not like Beets either but now are our favorite. We can them using my mother- in -laws recipe. 😋

[@madonnakirby9101]

I've successfully used Terro for years.

[@gloriapalmer3412]

Terro Outdoor Bait Houses are great for my family. Here in Texas we have fire ants. As soon as I see an ant hill around my house I place the Terro Houses near the hill and leave it there for 3 months. I'm originally from Illinois so the fire ant is new to me and their bite really hurts. My husband is allergic to them. He didn't know he was until he accidentally sat on an ant hill--ouch. Two years ago some tiny ants got inside our house so I used a spray that is safe for Humans and pets called Orange Guard which really works to kill ants nside and outside too. Love your great communication skills about the garden, and lovely voice. God bless you and yours.

[@HiveCreekFarm]

For the swelling and reactions to bug bites or bee stings, Pepcid (the heartburn medicine) works wonders. That and an epsom salt bath. I have huge reactions on my skin to bee stings and keep bee hives. Pepcid has been the best.

[@evalinawarne1337]

BLESSED 16th BIRTHDAY 🎂🎉🎉🤟. ENJOY

[@andycook8163]

Wow. You're New place is awesome. Can't wait to see what you engineer out there. Love what you do. Peace

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Terro ant bait is absolutely the BEST for indoor or outdoor ants.

[@sn232]

Friends used to use the Terro you are using, plus the inside the house gel. They were trying to get rid of the seasonal ants for over a month. FINALLY they called Terro and Terro customer service said in that case, they recommend they go and purchase the Terro granular in a bag, and sprinkle around the edge of the house (they kept it away from dogs and kids). Within 2 days they were gone completely, not one ant in sight. The flowering shrubs that grow around the kitchen part of the house lure in ants (they thought). Thank God for the granular because every time you looked there were ants on the kitchen counters, windowsill, and food prep areas, even in some cupboards (they even had to put honey jars in ziplock bags), and they had to do all food prep in a different room of the house because of the ants. Not any more, sight of the 1st ant when the shurbs blossom, they sprinkle the granular outside against the wall of the house, and they see no more ants.

[@ramblinrosecottage5983]

Thank you! Living in Texas has taught me to never go barefoot and to watch where I step when wearing sandals. I wear boots to mow and I always were gloves when gardening. Even then I get bit by ants at least once a week. Going to Amazon now.

[@wendyr435]

I live in Arizona, and it's the same here. I miss going barefoot, but we have Mesquite bushes with the nastiest thorns you ever did see, scorpions (bark scorpions), snakes, fire ants, and going barefoot is a big NO for me too.

[@MsGrannyfrog]

Here in the SC upstate we definitely have fire ants. Clemson Home and Garden info center has a good article on managing fire ants if you get them in the vegetable garden, but a lot of the baits for fire ants contain spinosad which is an organic insecticide and safe to use around mammals as boric acid is poisonious. Another trick for ants in the wrong place is to go to the laundry room, mix some borax with granulated sugar put in a ramkin and invert a bowl over top of it. Works like a charm.

[@nikkitobin8356]

Happy birthday, Asher.

[@tamara4557]

Bitter melon is indeed a good name, it's really bitter, so I usually soak them with water for a good while, drain and sprinkle some salt, rub it in and sqieeze. This also prevents your dish from becoming too watery. You can skip the soaking if you prefer. A very popular way to eat it is stirfried with pork and tofu and egg in an Okinawan dish called Goya Champuru. And you can pickle them as well.

[@debinbc]

I have been using Terri for years & love it.

[@tristaperkins7112]

Crazy story, my family has used terro at the 1910 farmhouse in Tennessee for I would say 30 years. It is the sticky Karo syrup type that you put a bead of on a piece of cardboard or something. Literally until this video, I have been using it as sparingly as possible for the past 15 years, because I was told you could only get it at one place here in the country, and that place shut its doors years ago. And honestly it didn't even occur to me to Google it, because I thought I was sitting on the last couple of bottles of this magic potion that they probably didn't even make any more. How funny!

[@tristaperkins7112]

I felt like that this morning. A lady at church ask me if I planted Gobstopper tomatoes this year because she loved them so much. I may start some now because I had not started any. They were not my favorite. Lol

[@dinkossemillas]

OMG, you are gonna love Thai soldier beans, I seeded them last year, they almost covered the whole treil, but not as mucj the very top as noodle beans do, plus, if i had to choose only one, I would still go for noodle b. But is nice to combine them, even in treils. You can seed them mixed, so you make sure your treils are completely covered.

Thank you for the ant advice! We have tons of harvester and carpenter ants up here in Washington state. Weve tried the traps you use, cinnamon and diatomaceous earth and nothing really drives them away. We're going to give the shoveling a pile of ants from one nest to the other a try. 👍🏻

[@rebeccafincher2486]

We have them so bad here in SE TN! I’m desperate at this point so I’m going to try this. I’ve had so/so luck with the dawn dish soap and orange oil but they tend to just move.
