[@ritahall8653]

It makes me happy to see you and your daughter together and so happy

[@Deba7777]

Your little daughter has such an angel face! Precious! 😇

[@celiashort6246]

Just stumbled upon this video. This little girl has some of the most beautiful energy. I have seen in a long time. Protect this beautiful starseed

[@AslansAngel1]

This video was such a blessing to me tonight. I was feeling down because of health issues, and to see your lovely smiling faces, and hear of your joys and thankfulness for your lovely garden lifted my spirits. Esther is such a lovely young lady, and I love her relationship with you, Carrie. It's a beautiful thing for a mother and daughter to be friends. It shows. Bless you, precious Smythe family xoxoxo Laurie

[@1000sofroots]

So sorry to hear that you are having health issues. Yes, I am thankful beyond words for the relationship that Esther and I have. All of your kind comments over the years have been such a blessing to me Laurie. Thank you! May our loving Heavenly Father give you comfort, joy, and strength. Blessings in Him.❤

[@AslansAngel1]

Thank you SO much, beautiful woman of God. I had a good cry reading this. Thank you for your words of encouragement. God is still in the business of miracles. Trusting in Him for my daily strength and healing. xoxo Blessings in Him,

Esther is a natural on camera.

I like to chop green pepper, onion, carrot, and celery into really fine chop and freeze them together. Then when I start a meal I just throw a handful into the bottom of my cast iron pan to season the oil and bonus they are so small my adult kid and grandkids that won't eat veggies eat them with put knowing it. Win win.

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

I enjoy your content so much ,it's real, honest ,good natured, you show what worked and what did not and you oozed sweet goodness that is just a joy

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for your encouraging words and thoughtful comments.🙂

Good morning 🌻 Gardens look wonderful! Full of life 🌱. Esther, your garden knowledge and understanding is a beautiful thing to see🕊️

[@beckyisabell4324]

Great conversation with two hardworking beautiful people.

[@moonshine4049]

I am in Wisconsin zone 4b and my little box garden was mostly sorrowful. We had too much rain and too early of heat. My root veg rotted or split, my peas got a fungus, my tomatoes have blight, something ate the leaves off the bottom 2/3 of my peppers, those japanese beetles are having a heyday and we had a bunch of bunnies munching on all my flowers and chipmunks digging up my flower roots. I did spray the pole beans and salvaged them. The joy is my tea and herb beds. Plentiful and looking forward to using my dried herbs and teas all winter long, and we have a loooong winter up here. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gardens.

[@1000sofroots]

Some years it seems like more sorrows than joys in the garden, but you can always count on those herbs.🙂 Hope you enjoy your teas. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.❤

[@conniemoore3207]

Those peas have always been a staple here in the south. Pink eyed purple hull pea, cowder pea, a tiny one we call Lady finger pea and many more.

[@littlebirdblue3181]

It’s interesting that you mentioned Montana Haven. They’re a lovely family. Your family is lovely, as well. God bless you and yours. ❤

[@blueamenaa749]

I went to see a loved one in Texas in august. I just came back in France. It makes me want to move there permanently with my kids. I missed your videos a lot.❤❤❤❤ God bless you all.❤❤❤❤

[@LisaDeFrates-zf3rn]

Such a wonderful video!! I'm like you...the garden spiders are so beautiful that they do bring joy....but....they have a way of surprising and scaring you also!! 😂

[@TheTamrock2007]

You and your family are such a gift to this world, was such a delight seeing your beautiful garden. A garden spider would be a joy to me. I've loved them since I was a little girl and have tried to care for many of them. They are a bit of a Charlotte's web story. All her work is for her babies to come after her season has passed.

[@emilyneal7888]

Those orb weaver spider are very beneficial for garden pests.

[@ShariCox-yd6pp]

Thank you for blessing us!

[@gaylehoy2065]

loved listening to your joys and sorrows - your garden is looking lovely. The spider is a sorrow hahahah -- i am petrified of them and would freak out everytime i saw one.

[@joycecook8876]

So nice to see you beautiful ladies and your wonderful gardens. These are some of my favorites. ❤

[@PCTLadyPuterTutor]

Esther is getting tall! 😊

[@katrinaDS]

Beautiful garden. Yes this Missouri weather has really messed with the fruit trees and other plants here at my place.

[@1000sofroots]

Maybe next year will be getter.🙂 Blessings.❤

[@Cynthia-pf4hm]

If you like stuffed bell peppers; I halve mine, clean out the seeds, and freeze them on a cookie sheet. When they're solidly frozen; I put them into freezer bags. They sort of cup into each other, so a lot will fit into a bag. Since they were originally frozen separately, they'll stay separate. Sometimes, I'll add the filling and freeze them that way also.

[@marianeufeld1627]

Wow you have a beautiful garden Thank you for sharing God is good God made your beautiful❤ God bless your whole family👨‍👩‍👧‍👧💞🙏

[@sandrawyrick]

Love the Miller's! I watch them weekly.

[@BarradaleFarm]

Such a lovely episode guys! Your garden is looking lovely and it sounds like it has been a really productive year. Your banana spiders look a lot like what we call golden orbs here in Australia, though they might be an entirely different species; my spider knowledge isn't amazing! We are coming into spring and our veggie garden was looking wonderful but one of our goats got in. Was a shame but oh well, he will make a good, nourishing curry at least. We were hoping to get a fence up for our main crop area before now for all the big sprawling plants like pumpkins, cucumbers, melons, etc., but we didn't manage it, and I seem to have been filling up beds with flowers in the meantime. Whoops! But they are so beautiful. xx

[@1000sofroots]

Hope you get that fence up soon and enjoy the flowers in the mean time. There's always room for flowers in the garden. Blessings to you.❤

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

1 frog or toad can eat up to 100 squash bugs, caterpillars,vine borers etc in one night ,imagine if you had a child's paddling pool with a few small Rocks in it inside your squash patch and in spring you went pond dipping and brought home a jar of tadpoles or frog spawn .your very own bug defence system and they eat a whole list of other pests too but don't harm your plants

[@jillhull7358]

Woow very helpful thanks for sharing

[@shellakers10]

New subscriber from Missouri! I'm really enjoying your channel and excited to find you in my feed today! Also, I wanted to compliment your daughter.... she's very knowledgeable . I'm impressed with how much she learns from her mama. Great job teaching f4om the school of life! 😊

[@1000sofroots]

Welcome!! Thank you so much for the encouraging comment. Blessings to you.❤

[@Cynthia-pf4hm]

You can dehydrate the bell peppers. Grind them, and have pepper powder. Add thm to salt and have a bell pepper salt.

[@lorrieriddle4079]

Here in Virginia Beach, VA we call those Sewing Spiders, since the web looks like a sewing stitch. Very beneficial to have!

[@kathysattic]

I dehydrate mine. Put them in a jar so when I need some, they are handy. You can also chop and freeze them.

[@chrij1987]

I slice peppers and freeze for future fajitas, stuffed pepper soup, and omelets. I have to put small cages (actually wire trash cans from dollar tree) over my strawberry plants to keep the squirrels from eating them. Maybe Josh could build some tall cylinders with chicken wire to go over those green beans to keep the muscovy away. Best of luck! God bless.

[@sallyapple3935]

Beautiful flowers and veggies. You two have worked very hard. Are the two oldest sons working off the farm? Don’t see them very often. Esther is growing so much and quite smart. Have a blessed week. 😊

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for the encouragement.🙂 Yes, our three oldest sons work part time off the farm doing construction work. Blessings to you.❤

[@lorrieriddle4079]

I enjoyed the video, thank you!!

[@meganwolf91]

Stuffed peppers are always yummy with nice rice and other veggies . I would suggest maybe chipping them making more relish and canning them. I do think y’all should start canning and videoing it would be awesome 😊

[@debbiewhitley8612]

Love the miller family ❤

[@alystodola]

Shabbat Shalom! Maybe a green stalk planter or two would work for bush beans? Then you could keep the Muscovys 😊

[@janetturner5467]

Growing up we also kept some ducks. My father cut their wings so they wouldn’t fly away. Maybe you can give it a try.

Interesting plant names. Cherokee trail of tears beans

James prigionni the gardening channel on you tube has a video about spraying fruit trees with a type of clay that has solved the bug and warm/caterpillar issues he was experiencing. I can't remember the name of the clay but I will try to find it

[@1000sofroots]

Kaolin clay? I think I watched his video, but can't remember the name of the clay either. We may try that in the future, but we get so much rain that it will take many applications and a great deal of clay and time. That would be wonderful if it works though. Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

@@1000sofroots yes,that was the name of it .I found James a few years ago when he was talking about back to Eden with Paul Gautchi ,I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly .I watched Paul's film many times and further videos about how he grew amazing produce on his land .I enjoyed the way that he explained how he came to settle on the methods that he was famous for developing but it was the story telling his choice of descriptive language and the relationship with God that had me hooked

[@robynclarke5274]

In Australia we call those spiders as St, Andrews Cross. They eat the bugs so are very helpful.

[@Gardenofglory-l6v]

Hi ladies do you keep your compost cover, I’m trying my best to get a good harvest from sweet peppers only get about three or four sometimes, beautiful garden oh those spiders something else I do watch that channel sometimes but I’m more into gardening, especially when his foot was in the cast it was hurtful to see he couldn’t really do anything with the homestead but his boys they really did good ❤❤

Have you tried pouring boiling water on it once the growing season is over? I have saved a white peach’s seed and an orange one and some awesome cherries.😊 Orb Weaver spiders.

[@frantracey8737]

In Australia morning glory is a noxious weed. Also, I put citrus halves upside down & the slugs hide there, so you can just give them to the chooks in the morning.

[@jeanettedellicarpini5616]

Esther you look so beautiful 😊

[@pennyduncan5980]

❤❤❤

[@jeannelynskey6946]

Very beautiful. I remember in Laura Ingalls Wilder they talk about hanging the peppers to dry. Is that a thing? Can the chickens eat the spiders? Best wishes to you!!

[@1000sofroots]

I believe that drying peppers is a thing, but not something I have tried, yet. I think it has to be the right kind of peppers. We leave the spiders in the garden to help with pests. But we feed the chickens the tomato horn worms.🙂

[@debbiewhitley8612]

Peppers freeze well. Can't remember if you have a freezer ❤

[@noramax2925]

The sweets are beautiful❗️ San Marzano are my favorite. Been growing them for a couple decades. Can you talk about what you do with the Moringa? I have used the oil on my skin and I know of others that use it internally for arthritis. I love hibiscus tea. Nothing better than quenching your thirst on a sweltering day with ice cold hibiscus/Roselle tea. Thank you for your garden talk. ❤️

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for sharing. We like to dry Moringa in the fall and use it in soups and stews through the winter. Sometimes we mix it into our bird feed as well. Blessings to you.❤

[@sammim4213]

Hello Carrie I know this is unrelated to your lovely video but how did you put your hair up behind your hair if you could describe it? I wear short coverings in the summer and I'm having a hard time keeping my hair in a low bun it just comes apart so I've been trying to find a new way to put it up under my covering.

[@1000sofroots]

My hair was just braded. It's very thin and almost unnoticeable. I hope you find a way that works for you. Blessings.❤

Would frogs help keep down the bugs on your squash plants ?

[@1000sofroots]

Good question. We have a lot of frogs here, but I think we would need a plague of them to deal with the number of bugs we have.

[@simonbenko5]

I greet you. I see that boys often go barefoot.. I also saw an older video about it. Do they have a problem walking barefoot even now that they are older? And do they mind climbing on mud or manure? Could you make a video about it, it's a very interesting topic. I wish you a nice day and good luck..😄

[@1000sofroots]

Good questions. They don't have a problem walking barefoot now that they are older. Our oldest has always preferred to wear shoes. They don't (usually) purposefully walk in mud or manure. They wear boots for jobs like mucking the barn and moving manure compost piles. I don't know if I will be able to make a video about the topic, but thanks for your interest. Blessings.

Is it possible to clip muscovie wings to prevent flying ?

[@1000sofroots]

We could, but they grow back fast and when they can't fly they are easy targets for predators.

Can you trim the wings for Muscovys so they don't fly?

[@lidiyaagne8381]

Ladies don't bother with apple seeds they will grow but will give you crab apples. That's what happened with mine. Then I investigated and found out they don't grow true from seed. Instead do air layering

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for the advice.🙂 We have so much to learn about propagating fruit trees.

[@SmokeyHollowHomestead]

Can you clip their wings so they can’t fly into your garden?😊

[@1000sofroots]

We could, but we have too many predators. They are able to free range and avoid predators (most of the time) because they can fly.

[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

I looked up information on clipping wings .The advice is clip one wing of each duck but only the primary feathers to destabilise them making it impossible to fly .ducks must be 15 weeks of age before you do this and never clip secondary feathers these are for insulation and are necessary to the ducks .
