It's just hateful (Heat, Peppers and Laidback Gardening) | VLOG

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.

“Strong but gentle” beautifully said and done. I couldn’t agree more. We raised our son the same. 🙏🏽💓💐

[@GinWI283]

Love that too! Hearing that aggressive behavior and competition is a boys thing in general from a boys mum of 5 is a relief. I teach my 5 year old also to be gentle, respectful and careful with human beings and tools. Bush rafting is a new word to me, although we've done that. Directing kids to use their energy to create something valuable instead of destruction is beautiful.

[@s30123]

The don't throat punch your brother just got me 😂. I'm from a family of 3 girls and one boy and let me tell you us girls were just as violent and had the psychological warfare 😂

[@alissapim3616]

That machete moment with the light surrounding you and all your feminine motherhood lifted the expression of unwavering support and understanding for boyhood to a whole new level. Stunning ❤️‍🔥

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

This comment so blessed me ♥️

[@sandieweatherup]

I bought several packages if impatiens seeds and it grew coleus! 😂 I wrote the company and received free impatiens seeds. The coleus now reseed every year and I transplant them all around my yard.

[@Nikkiefied]

I study Psychology and Child Development and that is such a healthy way of raising children! There’s a wonderful book by Judith Butler called Gender Trouble where she writes about the how detrimental it is to suppress parts of ourselves in childhood, and specifically how our cultures have taught us to do it subconsciously. Having a model of adults that intentionally embrace differences in personalities of their children and guides them to healthy outlets for emotional regulation is absolutely wonderful! I used to get in trouble all the time for being so wild, it wasn’t until I started learning about and working with children that I realized how much can change when parents and caretakers focus less on control and more on support for their babies ❤

[@evalinawarne1337]

Nikki, my FIRST Job was working with SEVERAL EMOTIONAL IMPAIRED IN 1978.. I was not educated to this. My neighbor was the sectary at this school and asked me to come and be an aide. I saw, and learned quickly about how many parents didn't direct their children how to release their own emotions. Which caused so many problems. They were so loving and kind and then EXPLODE and start chasing me with a 2 by 4. Choke me, hit me, spit and yell and scream. I would pray for them. Some came back to me and apologize and make me a gift. Draw or take a photo. They are VERY TALENTED with art. Each of our brains work so differently. 2 teacher and 4 students. At times we needed more staff. Most of the students lived in the cottage's back of the school. Parent's, would come to visit (some). A few students went home. GOD BLESS YOU. I had 3 daughters. Then, I started College. I even worked at my old high school in Special education.

[@chezelleconroy2951]

So good! Thank you

[@WickedAwesomeGardening]

That’s the kind of masculinity we need. Men who understand how to work through their feelings yet can use their inherent nature channeled in a positive way

[@Enlightenment326]

Jess is feeling silly today😂 I love it. Feels like a friend 💚 I appreciate you!

[@galeharris6696]

Also wanted to add to my comment that my big 6 ft 4 inch son will cry openly and unashamedly if he is moved to do so. He's been called a crybaby, yet is one of the most directed and brave people I've had the pleasure to know. He just has a heart as fragile as his aggressive nature is strong.

[@Enlightenment326]

I agree... raising strong and gentle young men. Just like your sweetheart hubby. My little boy has been gardening with me for 10 years now. He's my garden buddy💙 He's 18 this year 😢he will probably be to busy with college life and work, but I will cherish those memories of us gardening. I feel grateful that I was able to introduce a way to reduce stress and enjoy the results of his work.

[@tyraseppala3954]

Having 5 boys my self I really appreciate hearing others like yourself calling out and seeing the beauty in men! They are fun, and completely different from me, but I honor that! Thanks for being real!

[@sassyherbgardener7154]

Also, the parenting advice was GREAT!! (And I'm a school counselor who has taught parenting classes.) Thank you for being brave and stating your very thoughtful (and knowledgeable) opinion, even though you will have some critics who don't even understand the delicate psychology of the situation. Bless you!!!

[@marygrott8095]

Bingo on boys and channeling their aggression in a positive way! I have two sons, who are now adults, and they were raised that way also. And they're also gentle when necessary!

[@sandyhaines2124]

My wild and wonderful small back yard has been relying on God for watering on a regular basis. My health struggles have kept me from being in my garden in this heat - but today I was out there and found cherry tomatoes and cantaloupe ripening on their own! Seeds want to grow! God is good! I am full of joy! Thank you Jess for being the you God created you to be! Following you is a wonderful journey.❤

[@alicecorsi1447]

I raised 4 boys and I think you are spot on love seeing how loving your boys are

[@blueiris6813]

I have been a laid back flower gardener for two decades, I have been rewarded with so much beauty, serendipitous combinations of colours and shapes. Mother Nature is genuinely generous. The wealth of insects and birds has been a balm to my soul, the toads are a delight! I’m grateful for your chats, and grinning ear to ear as I binge watch your channel, and relax my grip on doing this vegetable garden “perfectly”. ❤ I bless you.

[@rachelgoodspeed6401]

Loved this video so much 🥹🥹🥹💝 I want to specifically mention that the summary at the end, of relinquishing control when life (and gardening) doesn't go as planned---God wanted me to hear that today. Ive been beating myself up internally the last few days and feeling ashamed for how i feel, but i truly feel God's used your loving words to change my wrong thinking and to heal my heart. Your videos inspire me so much, but this one... 😭💖 Thank you, Jess, for allowing our Father to use you to do His great work. God bless always!!

[@robingirven4570]

Bless you Jess! Our 3 boys are a great joy to us. They’ve given us 8 grands. Just you wait, my dear lady. You’ve not know a joy greater than a grandchild 🌺

[@spareparted]

I call my quick pickles “quickles”

[@havefaithinthegardener5939]

Hey Jess! So my many Pepperoncini peppers I have planted are actually a VERY hot asian pepper!!! I completely get the offensiveness of popping it in your mouth and then running for the ice cream! On a more positive note, Thank you so much for the Nadapenio suggestion. They are prolific and I am enjoying them so much! Happy gardening from colorful Colorado 🌄

[@karenm5681]

On the plus side…ice cream!😋🍦

[@courtneymilner6062]

Your advice about little boys is spot on. I see your views through that comment alone. I respect it more than you know. Thank you for being the voice of tradition and raising healthy and gentle men ❤️

[@ashleenicole71]

"Go outside and chop down a tree"😂😂 I loved her parenting advice. I have a son and a daughter. Son is 5. Daughter is 19 months. He is actually really wild but pretty good with his sister. Your boys will have some great skills and have better communication skills then so many these days.

[@victoriaspillman1885]

100% agree. I have 5 boys as well. 8 14, 18, 19 & 20. We've done the same thing. ❤ your outlook

[@CopperIslandHomestead]

"Pull it together woman!" 😂😂 I talk to myself like that a LOT 🤣

[@GardenForYourSoul]

Having two boys with alot of aggression, that is the most beautiful way anyone have ever put it! Your words hit my heart and I will carry your wisdom with me forever! 😍🥰💚💙 You are such an amazing woman, Jess! 🙌💜

[@noranature]

That was so a beautiful video - Thank you Jess

[@debsenritchedrefuge603]

Love your statement "Strong but Gentle"!Raising My son Sterling was my biggest Blessing, even on my own as a widow, he had & still has so many opportunities to learn Strength & Tenderness through & through with an irresistible sense of humor and charisma.. He Loves the Lord and wears it on his back & heart! I remember having to let him do things that I would never have ever thought of as girl, woman & Mom.. So glad I was able to let him be 1000% boy /man with all the Big Boy Tools at a young age! This makes me think of so many precious memories together.. Our relationship is a bit different now with him just getting married a couple weeks ago at 20yrs old. They Eloped to Glacier National Park alone for Private event with gorgeous photos.. Sure Missed getting to Celebrate them! Thanks for your Blessings, 🌻Jess! Love you, ❤Deb

[@tammytamz3046]

You are my favorite gardening channel to watch. I love how you share from your heart no matter what you are talking about. That’s so hard in this age when they’re so many trolls. Thank you! ♥️🙏

[@susanparker-heitel702]

Volunteers always grow the strongest and most productive.

[@judifarrington9461]

I have to agree with your closing comments about gardening disappointments. My garden became a half eaten hot mess and yet so lovely and beautiful. A young doe chose my garden to have her twin babies. She ate down my peppers, sweet potatoes and strawberry plants not once, but twice! Everything grew back and I will get some harvest, but it was a joy having such beautiful creatures share my garden. Some things I planted, not expecting them to make it, produced beyond what I could have hoped for. I had drought and scorching sun, but it was a great gardening experience. I am thankful!

[@misstrcarter]

Jess, if you like having interesting things on your charcuterie board, smoked, oil packed jalapenos are amazing. You can use a milder pepper. Smoke them, salt, a splash of vinegar and a nice oil. Let them sit for a couple of weeks, then enjoy on your boards. Of course, follow any safety measures. Makes great holiday gifts.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

This sounds divine!

[@justuskirwa6857]

You always make my day. Love your vlogs.

[@noranature]

you are so right

[@GreenWitchHomestead]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how real and also how adorable you were when you moved the 'MA CHET EH!' LOL ❤ And yes 💯 % Let your children do dangerous things, SAFELY

[@deborahvaughn6605]

Thank you, Jess, for your sweet sweet spirit and the laid back way you approach gardening! Like you, the garden is my happy place.....the place I see the heart of God and His plan for helping us flourish. I read this quote years ago and try to apply it to gardening, discipling young women to be faithful Christ followers and just in how I approach life in general. "He who grows a garden works hand in hand with God".

[@ericawhitfield9289]

Thanks for sharing that quote!

[@roadmap5351]

Thank you for this video and your message. I'm learning to be a better gardner and to accept disappointment in gardening when something doesn't turn out as planned. I appreciate things that do even more. 😊

[@yukonsmomma3562]

Jess, I love watching your content. I so enjoy your infectious laughter and your words of wisdom. Thank you!

[@maryhensey5485]

Your videos in the garden are my meditation. Thank you

[@kariannecrysler640]

That’s the point of parenting, teaching them the basics to navigate the world ahead. A good foundation ✌️💗

[@limingunicorn]

Our garden took a back seat this year due to medical issues... but I threw the remains of a few store-bought squashes into our compost pile. Now, we have an unknown variety of squash literally taking over our backyard. It's the healthiest plant in our garden too. It's just getting to the stage of growing female flowers, but it is determined to grow. Everything else we planted this year either went straight to seed, died, or has yet to ripen its fruit. Sometimes your plans stay plans and never come to fruition. The garden is a wild ride, but man is it beautiful and rewarding to watch it grow.

[@neicenn]

There is NOTHING more wonderful than being a boy mom!! Its definitely an experience. Lol Mine are grown and i miss their adventures. But watching them be men has blessed me beyond measure.

[@dorothyfraser956]

So true...teach them to be strong but gentle. I have two boys and they have always had knives and sticks since they were young. They have learned respect for all possible dangerous implements, and they will pass those ideals onto their children.😊

[@ginnysulya9805]

I agree with the go with what you’re blessed with attitude in my garden! Sometimes the plants you started from seed just don’t meet expectations or even get a chance to! My super vigorous volunteers are always showing up and allowing me to have a harvest I was not expecting! So here’s to volunteers and gardens that just want to grow! 🙌👍👍😉

[@paulinefoster7838]

I love the teaching children (especially boys) to do dangerous things safely. I was watching 3 of my grandsons yesterday and the twins (age 3) decided to wrestle - literally wrestle. Like I did wrestling stats when I was in high school ages ago and they did very well - I was very impressed. I didn't stop the wrestling - they're boys. But then they all decided to go upstairs and I sat and watched them hop from sofa to sofa to ottoman to other ottoman, fall, bump their heads for over 30 minutes. Boy oh boy did they have a great time getting energy out and learning to jump farther and farther.

[@AlisonV362]

Boy mom here. Gorgeous sentiment! When they were little, they always wanted to throw stuff. Inside, the rule was they could only throw balls of socks. 😂 They wanted to hit trees, etc with sticks, we trained them to only hit invasive trees and large rocks. 😅 Giving them tools of destruction to clear our overgrown yard was always a big hit!

[@kendralynn2490]

From one boy mom to another, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I support all the machetes ❤ Also, I cannot imagine a more satisfying (sho shatisying) evening of walking through the garden snacking and chatting with you. Thank you so much for all you are and all you share. So much love to you, the family and the farm ❤

[@delorisefuqua4012]

Can I just say I love the way you explained your boys and the machetes! It was perfectly said!

[@jomara2705]

As adults, we've been chopping down trees during rage filled moments. Sweat=cathartic tears

[@barbarafunk5118]

my husband was raised younger in Bishop California, it was all ranching and fishing . Little boys would walk the streets with loaded 22 and no one thought a thing about it. Those were the days that made sense, the boys loved hunting and fishing all day long. The rodeo was the high point of the year. It was very rural and I think relating to gun with respect and knowledge is so important. Its the country folks.

[@toniajones3572]

Game changer! Take those Marconi reds and use them as a stuffing pepper. My favorite is making chicken enchilada stuffed peppers and pop them in the oven at 400 for 20-25 minutes with some foil tented over the pan then remove the foil ad bake for another 5 min til your cheese is nice and melted ❤

[@janemiddleton9509]

I planted 3 cucumbers last year. Got very few cucumbers. This year I have 6 or more volunteer plants and they are producing a good deal of cucumbers. Volunteer basil, too! Zinnias are taking over and volunteer marigolds are everywhere. I remember my Mom giving us a dull paring knife and sending us out to get our own switch. I don't ever remember returning with a switch, but she got us to quit fighting!

[@Bethany_Sue]

This is one of your best videos! From the raising sons advice to the scraping the garden plans by the high tunnel and letting it give you its wild beauty! Both of those bits were dripping with Jesus! Simple yet profound! Thanks Jess! I am raising 2 boys and 2 girls and we have random machetes around as well or an ax or a bow whatever they are into! Strong yet gentle is our prayer as well! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@salenakeyes300]

To your point of raising boys, thank you from the bottom of my heart for addressing boys and their aggression. And not quelling the natural instinct but guiding it. Learning to do dangerous things carefully is a major life skill for boys and girls❤️

[@PureLace]

100% Boys NEED to grow to know that masculinity is amazing, needed and should be admired.

[@leahharbison4932]

Bless you Jess ! ❤

[@heavenly-dreamsdairygoats]

Jess you said it right. I'm making a dish of what came off our farm, fried purple cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash and chicken. Then I put a chicken bone broth in it as a light soup. It's just simmering right now on this cool raining day here in Michigan. Thank you for sharing. God bless

[@chezelleconroy2951]

As a mum of boys I flippin LOVE your sage parenting advice. Thank you!

[@glamazini]

I'm from the Caribbean and grew up around machetes & knives. It's fascinating that you have to explain this to people so delicately, as I consider it normal.

[@galeharris6696]

I totally get where you're coming from. I had one son, well one child, and he was very aggressive as a little boy, both physically and emotionally. I was raised in a family of boys, so I understood that aggression and dedication are flip sides of the same coin, and they both have a highly useful purpose, if directed well. My son is about 17 years older than your oldest, so he is now 35, and has now become a very effective, stern, but yet so gentle special ed teacher, highly beloved by his students. He still has that aggression, but uses it now to fight for his students' rights, and become always a better teacher.

[@terresiagregg9326]

Good afternoon Jess love how you teach your boys to be strong n gentle i think its wonderful

[@terresiagregg9326]

Awesome harvest so happy for you your garden is awesome

[@shauntellefisher2605]

Great message. More should teach their children life skills. How to do and make things. Ok, so on another note… that dress is just precious. Modest and made for summer.

Lemon basil is my favorite. I😊 plant it just for the smell.

[@ruthannecoro6198]

My lemon basil is growing like crazy.. amazingly prolific and easily propagates for more plants. I’ve got a bunch of starts sitting on my window sill that I need to pot up for fall 🙂

[@jacquelineallan9550]

Hi Jess, exactly and boys are boys. We let our kids have machetes and knives since they were little too! It's a good thing for kids to explore with stuff like that if they are taught correctly and bush crafting is what boys need in life. ALL BOYS NO MATTER THE AGE. I remember the first time our daughter cut her own tree down with the machete she wanted to keep that forever now could care less but it was cute at the time.

[@KimberlyLoweWilliams]

Your authenticity and honesty continues to inspire me. Makes me wanna start a channel and be brave 😊

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

I remember when I was a little aggressor, we would build forts in the woods. I used a claw hammer to chop down Trees when I was 8 and then my brother told me to climb to the top of the tree and ride it down while he chopped. I survived 😊

[@courtneymilner6062]

That being said, my sister at the age of 9 had a machete on our parents large property and swung back and nicked my ear (as a 2 year old) and I needed 5 stitches lol but I don’t hold that against my parents as we had a very wild property and my cousins took care of me. Boys on the other hand, I can’t wait to see how my boy grows with the garden ❤️

[@charlotteelliott9890]

I love your comment about boys-John Eldridge has a book Wild at Heart talks about this exact thing. The God given strength and aggression allows our men to want to protect and provide!

[@patriotmama]

A couple of years ago, we bought what we thought was banana peppers and they were gorgeous. Picked them and started to get them ready to pickle and can b/c we love them in salads. Well, all of a sudden my hands started burning like crazy, eyes watering and snot running. Good grief, those things were hotter than fire. Called my son who is a pepper freak and sent him a picture. He said "Mom, you got Hungarian Wax peppers". They were so hot we couldn't eat them. I don't know what happened, but boy that is when I was "assaulted by a pepper in my kitchen". LOL. We have some friends that love those hot things and we gifted them to them. All was well.

[@keto4lyfechristy773]

My son at 12 yrs old saved up his money mowing lawns. He bought a 90lb compound bow at the local pawn shop. We live in the high desert. My son is 33 now snd all limbs are attached and zero broken bones. Few owies but not from the bow, lol.

[@Junkinsally]

As an only child who was son and daughter to my father, I think your advice is good for raising both sexes! Learning to channel your negative emotions into something productive is the best skill one can learn. As for gardening, I had a pepper issue this year for the first time. My sweet banana peppers were hot! I bought the plants a local nursery that I have patronized for many years without issue. So now I have 8 plants of hot bananas and that’s way to many!!! Any advice on what to do with that many?

[@evalinawarne1337]

SHARE THEM. L.O.L. grind and make hot pepper spice. Cut them very fine for recipes. Stuff with mild cheese. Make cheese cake and use the hot pepper on it. Salsas hot pepper sauce. Hope this helps. Hot and spice bloody Mary drink. I made without Vodka.

[@kathycannon4805]

I used my original Greenstalk planter for two lemon cucumber plants. They are loving it!

[@Wildevis]

We are all so concerned about making our daughters strong and safe, but forget to raise our boys strong and gentle, knowing they will treat someone else's daughter with respect

Completely agree with your parenting methods. And yes, refrigerator space is at a premium.......basil tea takes up some space!!😊 I love it and my friends do too!

I like to call myself a freestyle gardener, I love that laid back style of gardening too :) I went to a seed swap this spring and found some cantaloupe seeds (someone had saved them from their garden). As they started to grow they turned out to be some sort of summer squash but very inedible. I assumed it was cross pollinated so I pulled it out. Will try again next year with another variety. It's hard to grow melons in our short season but I am determined to find one that thrives :) Peppers struggle here too but I have been able to grow a few varieties with success. I started all my peppers from seed, mostly from previous years or smaller seed companies so thankfully no peppergate here!

[@MissBetsyLu]

Try vinedale peppers. Sweet and fast. Many grand blessings everyone everywhere

[@sunrisekreations8205]

I have 2 sons, who are now 40 and 37. I love, love, love being a boy mom! They are strong but gentle and I absolutely love watching them with their children now! One has a son and a daughter and the other has a daughter. They are wonderful dads; I am amazed to watch how they play with their son and little girls. It is so important to let them be kids and lead by example. You and Miah remind me so much of the life we instilled in our boys. I love your channel Jess, but I thank you so much for sharing your family with us as well.
