I use the Dollar Tree 12 x 15 mesh laundry bags to go over my brassicas to keep the white moth away. I've even taken two apart and sewn them together for a larger bag. They have draw strings and I've found they're perfect inexpensive solution. Love your channel and learning with you! Blessings!

[@ourfreedomsong]

So cool!!! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@sandracampbell7278]

Your breads look delicious… I must do the garlic bread. Not surprised about the plants communication because GOD is awesome! I always figured they did, but never read about it. I plan to make the Fire Cider for the first time this winter.

[@ourfreedomsong]

🙌🏾 YASSS! And very cool about the fire cider!!! You should go ahead and get it started so it's ready when winter sneaks up !

[@juneramirez8580]

Yes I knew that. They also react differently to the way you treat them. I learned a very long time ago that experiments were done where they played nice soft music, people talking nicely to them and when handling them it was done gently. Then others were given harsh music something like rap, the people talked harshly, and handled them roughly. The plants that received the kinder treatment grew better and were healthier! So keep talking and handling your plants with care!!!

[@ourfreedomsong]

Wow! So cool!

[@Intentional-frugality]

Oh my deliciousness ❤ the breads 🥖🥖🥖 looks amazing 😻

[@ourfreedomsong]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@anniebancroft1175]

I'm watching your video again, and I just wanted to say how beautiful your braids are and how beautiful the beads on your forehead!!

[@ourfreedomsong]

Awww thank you so much Annie 🫶🏾🥰

[@pdav1285]

I absolutely love your passion for gardening and just zest for life! Keep doing your thing and we'll all keep watching. 😊

[@ourfreedomsong]

So sweet. Thank you ❤️

[@gardenflower4114]

No I didn’t know that about lemongrass. I do not have a keen sense of smell so I thought that was why I didn’t really smell my green blades of lemongrass. Not that I was harvesting the wrong part for the fragrance. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Your welcome! Now we both know ❤️

[@susanrodman]

I did not know this!! I am growing it this year and wondered why it wasn’t more lemony!! Learn something new every day!💕🌻

[@ourfreedomsong]

Yes we do learn something new everyday! I'm so happy this was helpful! I was feeling the same as you! ❤️

[@anniebancroft1175]

I did know plants communicated with microbes in the soil thru root exudates ( Steven Cornett "Nature's Always Right" his aerated compost tea videos) but I had no idea that plants communicated with each other thru their roots and thru the air!! Harvesting food from the garden right outside your door and cooking it is a whole new eating experience. Tonight I threw garlic, basil, white Hakurei turnips and their greens all from the garden into a pot of lentils. The house still smells wonderful!

[@ourfreedomsong]

Oh my goodness Annie, that does sound Ah-mazing! I've never thrown turnips (congrats on your turnips 🎉 btw!!!) into a stew or pot of lentils! That's so interesting!! Thank you for sharing your kitchen creations! ❤️

I loved this whole video! Your apothecary is awesome 😍. I’m working on starting mine.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Hey girl hey! 😍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'm so excited for you!!! You are gonna absolutely LOVE having your apothecary!

[@deborahmckinzy7229]

Hi Taqueshia, I really look forward to seeing your videos, and gleaning from your wisdom. I am just learning how to grow my food, as well as learning how to bake simple bread recipes. I love your creative spirit, and enjoy watching you, and your family do your thing. I would love to see more of your different types of breads, or any of your food recipes as well., whenever time permits you too. I just harvested my first harvest of bell peppers which was so exciting for me. Just started gardening for about 5 months, and I really enjoy it. Anyhoo....I greatly appreciate you sharing your many gifts. Peace & Blessings unto you and your family.❤

[@ourfreedomsong]

I'm so happy for you!!! 5 months! That's amazing!!! I'm so happy you joined me today!!! I will definitely be in the kitchen more! I love to create meals for the family ❤️

[@anniebancroft1175]

I agree with you, so much wisdom in Taqueshia's videos!!!!

Ha, just saw how the Carolinas have been by the storm. How are you and your family? Praying for your state.

[@jujubee7351]

Ok I did not know this, I was raised with cutting the leaves of the lemon grass for my grandfathers tea , not the stock. I am blown away .

[@theheardhomestead]

I knew that about lemongrass 😂😂😂 only because I researched how to care for it and harvest it. If you want it to get 7ft tall, 4ft wide plant it in the ground ❤ you should get an Apothecary sign for over the cabinet😊

[@ourfreedomsong]

A sign would be so cool! I know someone who can do that ❤️

[@ms.bshomestead7661]

Good Morning I am here organizing my seeds; Learning & researching different categories and such. I always heard about NightShade but never fully knew what it meant or what vegetables were nightshade….NOW I KNOW!!! I am so excited & energized😀🤣😀🤣👍🏾. I am so surprised with the different classifications & groups and yes the words are truly “scientific” 😅but that is not stopping me. Let me get back to my seeds but I am feeling really good right now and wanted to share🙏🏽 😊 And Yes… your bread skills are exceptional👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

[@ourfreedomsong]

Thank you so much for sharing your excitement!! You should absolutely be so excited about all the amazing things you are learning 😍😍😍

[@HillTopRooted]

For the grow bags on the fence line, you could clip at the top then drape the tulle/organza on the fence over the bags. Maybe clip the sides and secure the bottom so it doesn’t blow up. I’m sure you could still water while doing that. What do you think? 🎉🤷🏽‍♀️ or 🤗💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. I think if you give the purple potato’s some time to cure, the starches will have time to convert into sugar and it should be sweeter. The white Japanese one is just inherently sweet from jump. I believe. 😂🤷🏽‍♀️🤗💜💜💜. Your apothecary is so all the rage! 💜💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ourfreedomsong]

That's such a great idea!!! I may have to go with clipping the fabric on the fence! Thank youuuuu 🫶🏾

[@rosashelton364]

Im just starting growing and purchasing dry tea....so far chamomile, calendula, mullein and lemon balm. I've made tinctures and salves. I see that you have recipe blends in notion. Is that something you created? How can I get the recipes so that I can begin with some blends for my family immunity boosters? I have family members who have trouble having a good night rest, anxiety and asthma. Can I find the recipes if I download notion myself? Thank you and I love watching your youtube your garden.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Heyyyy 🫶🏾 I'm so happy for you! Those are great herbs!!! You won't be able to download recipes if you download notion but send me an email and I will share what you need with you! [e-mail] 🫶🏾

Hi🖐🏾 I did not know that! I consider myself a beginner gardener even though, I have been gardening for three to four years. I have yet to build my gardening library but I have purchased a Homesteading book with all of the know how skills of being a homesteader.

[@ourfreedomsong]

📚!!!! YASSS! I would like to one day build my library of books.... One day that's what we will be relying on!

[@lydiabrooks2302]

Hi T. I didn't know that about lemongrass either. Of course I also don't know what to do with lemongrass LOL.

[@ourfreedomsong]

Heyyyy!! I'm planning to add it to soup/stews.... make natural bug repellent.... Indian dishes use lemongrass a good bit.....

[@ourfreedomsong]

Wow! So you don't overwinter it?!

[@theheardhomestead]

@@ourfreedomsongI tried but it didn’t survive, I should have put burlap under the mulch. It needed a little more of a barrier. The winter got way colder than usual.

[@09echols]

One of your chickens is about to get broody, and she's collecting all of the eggs to hatch

[@ourfreedomsong]

But HOW does she collect eggs... Does she just scoot them with her beak? I hope to see it one day haha

[@juneramirez8580]

I think I should check my sweet potatoes! I am now craving one for dinner!!! Thank you for telling us about prepping them!!!

[@juneramirez8580]

Chickens share nesting boxes! And one chicken may be broody and will stay on the nest! Please show us what you do with all those seedlings! I have some and have no idea what to do with them so small and where to put them!

YASSS!

That bread looks so delicious 🤤 I’ve been wanting to learn how to make bread but I’m so intimidated for some reason. I feel like a need a whole lot of time

[@ourfreedomsong]

Thank you so much!! Girl. You can absolutely bake a beautiful and delicious loaf of bread without any "experience" ... It's takes about 5-10 minutes to mix ingredients (.maybe a little longer if you are mixing by hand) ... You let that rise until it's doubles in size.... About and hour.... And then shape into your loafs... Then let it rise again for about an hour . Makes for about 30 minutes or so .... You can totally do it!!! I added the link to the base recipe I used, in the description box 🫶🏾

[@opraha1113]

I’m inspired! You make it sound so easy. I will give it a try. Wish me luck 🤞

Always be mindful when painting things to go in the garden that bees and butterflies are extremely sensitive to any fumes. They are toxic to them. You might want to let anything cure for some time to allow any offgassing to dissipate. 🌱

I loved seeing your apothecary. I'm trying to create mine. I had bought some dried rosehips and was wondering if they had to be broken up before infusing. I just learned from you about the lemongrass. I haven't cut up any of mine yet and I would have just taken the leaves, so thanks for the information. I have been loving making our bread (usually sourdough). Oh my...I'll have to try making your pull-apart bread.

[@ourfreedomsong]

I'm so happy to have shared something new! I did actually break open one rise hip and it was full of seeds! And I hope to one day get into the rhythm of sourdough!!! I've probably tried 100 times by now hahaha... One day!!! ❤️
