You have really inspired me and I am 80ys young I'm starting my garden in my backyard.Wish me good luck,

[@fth1013]

[@BlackbirdMel-n7f]

Jesse I told you to mix the pesticides together in a container then use two soft drink cover in the sprayer and spray the cabbage,it is a blast.please try this

[@karlhenry2328]

What a smart, beautiful, innovative, hardworking person she is! What an inspiration to the nation as a whole. It feels incredible to know we still have conscious ambitious young people like farmer Jessie among us. What an incredible story of hope, hard work and determination. Loving every second of this story..

She is one amazing lady. Love her determination and focus. Brilliant role model to us all.

[@MikanniaNesbitt]

You go girl I'm so proud of you ❤

[@alisonmiller2708]

I love this work that sis is doing! Tell her that she can let some of her cabbage go to seed and then she can plant those seeds and not really need to buy more as that process continues. The seeds that she grows from her plants will be better adapted to her farm's climate and will do better and be more hardy to weather stresses.

[@jamaica_uncut]

Ok thank you

[@starfishcove5989]

Thank you Dwight, for this inspiring video!! Lawd, we love it! 🙌🏽 Blessings to you and Jessie as well. Please let her know that planting any kind of beans (pigeon peas or any kind of peas/beans) between the cabbages is VERY good for strengthening the crop, because it feeds nitrogen into the soil (like natural fertilizer). Interplanting with garlic or onions helps keep away cabbage moths. Also, potatoes attract the pests (beetles and slugs) AWAY FROM the cabbage. Marigolds also help as they deter pests like aphids and whiteflies, and they secrete a chemical that helps to keep root nematodes from eating the crop. If Jessie wants to learn more, just research "companion planting with cabbage" or "permaculture." Bless up! --from Jamaicans in the Carolinas, cheering on your good work! 🇯🇲

[@jamaica_uncut]

thank you very much, that is amazing advise.

Way to go Farmer Girl Jesse ❤

[@shockingdocumentaries4255]

Greetings from a Jer-Mercian in New York. I let the plants teach me too. It’s helped me grow food in a studio apartment. Some of the people in my family says it can’t be done even though this is going to be the 5th year. However I have inspired 3 groups of family members to start gardening. Starting a community garden is the next step. I have way more seeds then space to plant them. It’s taught me that a lot of stuff I’m told can’t be done isn’t true. And that even when some people see that it CAN be done they still don’t believe. Sometimes they even seem resentful. 🤨 Meanwhile the food I grow gives me more energy than vitamins. Plus it’s fun experimenting with things like compost tea to make my Swiss chard and lettuce taste better, growing cherry tomatoes upside down without a trellis in a soda bottle by the window, etc. I could go on forever but I don’t want to brag. 😂 A few of the benefits of growing indoors is, I can grow year round and garden in the middle of the night if I want. Plus being the tomato lady and eating varieties I can’t find in the store makes me feel RICH. I don’t know how it is in Jamaica but in America our store bought tomatoes taste like disappointment. 😝 Sorry about the long comment. I don’t know many gardeners in New York I can talk about gardening frugally with. Most of the people I know who garden the way we do are online. Good luck with your farm. ❤

[@superslyfoxx1]

I would love to see your garden.

Congratulations Farmer Jessie, I am so proud of you having such lovely acreage. What beautiful cabbages, reminds me of childhood being the daughter of a farmer.

Jesse is one smart, beautiful strong driven young lady. She is amazingly inspirational. She is Jamaican pride

[@LoiLaing]

I love Jessie's story, so so much. It is not easy being a single mother and a farmer, while in school. My dad was a farmer and taught agricultural science, and I grew up on a farm. Even in school, I used to get teased and called "country girl". I ended up becoming a lawyer but in my spirit, I've always been a farmer, so I bought land and started my farm two years ago. I'm also working on a Master's degree right now in organic farming. Being a lawyer still pays the bills, but it is my intention to make my farm sustainable because I love this work so much. It's who I am. I had to laugh at Jessie talking about the water boots because I had a friend come visit one time and we went into town while I was wearing my full farmer gear...water boots, hat, everything. We definitely need more women in farming and I would highly recommend entering the field to any woman who is interested.👩🏾‍🌾
