Keeping that wall a lighter color will give the natural light something to bounce off of and give the room some brightness. If you paint it brown, it will not allow the light to bounce as much and could potentially look a bit like a cave. HOWEVER, if a dark space appeals to you because it can be calming and comforting, go for it. :-)

I would have said the same. But the amount of stuff you're going to load on those shelves will block reflective light. And the dark colored items might blend with the darker wall, limiting the visual impact. I'd try a section, then decide.

Once upon a time, an enchanting homesteader gave a soul tugging talk to a barn full of eager listeners and learners.The words that giftedly flowed from her mouth eminated from her heart .Although she spoke to many , the message she brought was very individual. Light and truth ,dreams and realities..so vast were the lessons learned last Saturday. God is good.. Every day, every hour, every minute. Thank you Jess for reminding me of how rich I am and how endless my possibilities are.

Take a piece of cardboard or brown construction paper - as large a piece as you can manage. Paint it the brown, then put it against that wall. See how it looks. If you like it, paint the wall. If you don't, just repaint the sample board with the next color you consider using.

The best time to dig Jerusalem artichokes is in the fall after the first frost, when the leaves have fallen and the stalks have dried out. Or at least wait until the leaves have fallen off. That is what I’ve always done.

@@blippitydar we never tried freezing them but they kept pretty well for us. (Though we also have never had huge quantities and we would use them all within a month a two) We have done both, harvesting all at once or as needed. I think it just depends on how many you have and how much time you have available on which you would prefer. Our favorite way to prepare them was just roasted in the oven with other vegetables or meat, oil and spices, blended to thicken soups, or in mashed potato’s. You can freeze the blanched artichokes in have heard but we just never did. I hope that helps!

It was so nice to meet you at H.O.N.E! I was exhausted when we met after a long drive up the night before and wasn't able to articulate my sentiments as I wanted to in person (instead I cried... :s), but thank you so much for your kindness and your hug as I bumbled through what I could. I'd like to try to articulate those thoughts better here... First and foremost, I wanted to thank you for teaching me most of what I know about gardening and preserving food. I started gardening back in 2016 in a small community garden plot on the other side of town. Because it was so inconvenient I only did it that one summer. A few years later I moved into my own place and started growing veggies again, this time in a small container garden on my deck. After finding your videos I was inspired to do more - the next summer those containers became a ~50sq ft. keyhole bed in the one sunny spot of my wooded lot. In 2022 I moved again, having gained confidence in my abilities (and confidence that it wouldn't be a passing phase), my partner and I built a 36x30 garden in our new backyard with 14 raised beds of various sizes. We've grown so much food in that garden over the last two years and last year I tried canning for the first time! My grandparents - children of Italian Immigrants - grew up in the US during the Great Depression. My grandfather, who unfortunately died when I was very young, had a huge garden in their backyard. I unfortunately never got to see it, but I've heard many stories over the years. My grandma, the sweetest woman who I loved with every fiber of my being, canned everything he grew - I remember her always having dozens of canning jars in their basement kitchen. With every veggie I pull out of the garden and every can I put on the shelf, I feel like they're looking down from heaven with huge smiles on their faces, proud that one of their grandchildren is following in their footsteps (and probably yelling at me in Italian a little bit too). I also wanted to thank you for being so open and accepting of individuals with differing thoughts and opinions. I was brought up in a religious family who, while very loving and kind, can be considered close minded. They're very staunch in their beliefs and live in an "echo chamber" as many people in the world do today. While today I find myself having drifted away from organized religion, I always love listening to you talking about your love of God and how you see his hands in the garden and in your life. I greatly appreciate that you do this while also showing kindness, love and respect to those who may have differing, or no beliefs at all. Your authenticity and openness are a spot of light in this extreme world we find ourselves living in today and I am happy to have found a home online filled with thousands of kind and genuinely caring people.

I thought of you often this past weekend, and wished I was at the conference. So happy you got to see my beautiful neck of the woods. You were probably a couple of hours away from me in Central Vermont, but that's still so nearby, really. The trees are just at the beginning of turning into a million colors, and I'm glad you saw the beginnings of it. I dig Jerusalem Artichokes (when I do) in the late fall, after the leaves on the stalks have really broken off and before the soil is frozen or very lightly frozen, so I'm not smashing the tubers underneath. They gain some flavor, and I think they're a bit less 'gassy'. Morgan seems like a truly sweet guy, and during the aftermath of the horrendous flood they had in his area, he was a blessing to Peacham community by raising a ton of funds through a Go Fund Me, and just helping his neighbors EVERY chance he got. I'm really happy you guys are friends. It's not easy what you do, and I for one, very much appreciate that you do it. Take care and blessings to you and yours, Jess. 🌻

How to harvest Dig around the plant with a spade or garden trowel, and lift out the plant and tubers together. You can use a hand rake to help find the tubers. 9:24 9:26 When to store Jerusalem artichokes don't store well, but you can leave them in the ground until you need them. If you need to store them, keep them somewhere cool and humid to prevent them from drying out.

Jess, regarding painting that wall. My recommendation would be to keep it a lighter color. There are multiple reasons I say this. First to maximize your light in a smaller space. Next to keep the small space from looking smaller. Finally, to make the items you have along that wall more visible. It will make it easier to find them when you need them and make the fact that they are there seem more intentional.

So glad to have discovered you several years ago. We used to garden a 20x80 ft space, planning each year what to grow, spacing, yada yada.. Things change, including where I grow now in 4 raised garden beds and 10 greenstalks. You introduced me to these products, and a whole other community. I do grow real food for my kids, which if very important to me about what they are putting into their bodies. My garden includes flowers (pollinators), herbs, volunteers, vegetables. But I am also planning for the next year, starting my own seedlings in my garage, how to maximize attracting pollinators, etc. It's been quite the domino effect in a good way. This has given me a true purpose post covid, post divorce and growing in ways that are exciting, and this year's extreme drought in southern Ohio has been challenging. My peppers are loving it though and in my opinion, there is never enough basil. Basil tea is the best. Blessed to have you as a content friend.

Even though we have never met when I talk to people about gardens I will always bring you into my conversations and I refer to you as Jess like I personally know you. I hope you have many years left in your video making. I mused you this last week. 😊🎉

First out the door we always swing our arms because the spiders build their webs in front of the door. When we worked and left in the dark you couldn’t see them.

I am so happy that I found you. Wish it had been years earlier when I was healthy enough to garden and everything. But God has His timing for everything. I love the east coast. We have so much in common but I am old enough to be your mom. God bless you greatly darling!!

I love the green in the kitchen! I think using the dark brown is a great choice for the dining room. It shouldn't look too dark because of the big windows where you've already painted, and lots of colorful stuff on the shelves will be in front of it.

leave the wall the color it is, I think it looks good behind all the different colors of the dishes you have on the shelves

It’s just a fact of life that years seem to pass by faster and faster. I’m 63, and it feels like I was 33 just yesterday. This year has been the fastest year of my life. You’re definitely not alone in feeling like time is flying by. My sister and I were just discussing last week how she is having the same experience.

As far as your wall color, I think a golden ochre color would still reflect light, and give the room a definite warm Tudor feel.

Jerusalem Artichoke can be harvested after frost ....

You can literally dig up Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchoke/Sunroot) at any time... even before they bloom but they get bigger. Small ones are great fermented just like carrots. After they bloom they are bigger and good for everything. Treat them like potatoes in the kitchen, anything you would do to a potato for dinner you can do to a Sunchoke. They can even be left in the ground long after the stalks have died back, stored over the winter in the ground and harvested weeks/months after any green. Anything left will just sprout when it's ready for the next year's crop! I LOVE Sunchokes!! On years when we actually get frost it typically happens after Christmas, months after the last green is gone.

I start harvesting the jerusalem artichokes after the plants have died back. I keep them in my soil until I want to use them.
