You’re welcome for the hammock. I hope someone enjoys it! The blue butterflies at the end have a special meaning for me. Thank you! 💗🙏🦋

[@tbrown2302]

Wow! I haven’t seen your garden in a while. It’s has grown by leaps and bounds. I love how you intersperse flowers with veggies. Blessings.

Beautiful garden. Ester Pie is as beautiful as the garden too!

[@robynsutton4848]

I’ve been watching your channel since not long after you started and I am seriously impressed with how far you’ve come with your gardens. They all look amazing!

[@singmysong1167]

Oohhh, the sheer beauty in your gardens remind me so much of the awesome Botanical Gardens in St.Louis we once visited years ago. I think God would approve, being the First Master Gardener and Creator of the original Garden of Eden. I can imagine it looked like yours, Carrie. God bless.

[@hazelfolley8283]

Beautiful awesome

[@janetturner5467]

Always enjoy your garden tours ! 🎉 Love to learn about gardens and the animals . Ducks and chickens fun also ! Born and city girl . For a few years I did have a small garden ! 😢😢😢Gone 😢😢

[@JaniceKonstantinidis]

Hello Carrie and Esther Pie. Your garden is beautiful. What a lot of love and care you’d given to this once empty area over the past 10 years. I am delighted to see it all. Wow! I recently left my very full and lovely garden in California. We moved to Paris. I’ve made a small balcony garden, but I’m relying on yours now. I love that your garden is both delightful as well as purposeful. I’ll be living in yours vicariously. Sending blessings and love. ❤❤

[@1000sofroots]

I hope your balcony garden brings you joy.🙂 Blessings to you.❤

[@JaniceKonstantinidis]

@@1000sofroots Thank you so much Carrie. It was time to downsize. We quit while we were still on top on our game. Paris is interesting I must say. I have a good crop of strawberries - well considering I only have three plants. My one tomato plants promises to provide a couple of salads. Blessings in return.

thank you for being apart of my life God bless yaw

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

Your garden has come a long way, it’s beautiful. I always felt so bad for you struggling when it flooded. I’ve heard alot of good things about Paul Robeson tomatoes, I think I will put it on my list for next year. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out.

[@janetturner5467]

Touring your garden gives peace and refreshment like a spring rain to my soul.Thank you. Love how you set up your garden,walkways ,etc. Thats how I would do it ,if I was able.

[@rozetaaciobanitei562]

Beautiful! 🌸💕

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

Oooohhhh the beauty😮❤❤ I've watched this space be transformed by all your hard work ,from paddock to this pure ,joyful , relaxing space. Glory to God above for his creation and giving us the means and strength to steward such things. If your Hammock is getting the use ours does, it's a wonderful addition. Esther and all the children are learning so much from you , such useful information about plants for food and health will last them their lifetime. I've been very slowly changing this current growing space into bark paths and less weeds by creating vine or arrowroot growing thickly along fences as a barrier. More flowers every year are really helping me enjoy my space even more. Thank you for your inspiration and sharing with us. I hope your hand feels better by now. ❤❤

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you for making the time to share your kind thoughts.🙂 Your garden sounds beautiful. Yes, my hand is better. Thanks for caring. Blessings to you.❤

Beautiful gardens, one can tell you garden with your whole heart. We have been getting so much rain here, we may not get much from ours. I had a bumper crop of strawberries coming, but the rain made most of them rot. I did notice where there was more straw put down, that protected them somewhat, so a lesson learned. Usually a few crops do real well, if so I will be happy and thankful.

[@jenniferdavis8088]

You have a great helper!! My Grandson loves to help me in the garden this year he is four years old and helps me water and harvest but certain things never make it in the house he eats them as fast as he can pick them , he also helps with our chickens too , your garden looks great!!

[@1000sofroots]

Our youngest son, now 10 years old, used to do the same thing at that age. He loved eating anything he could get his hands on in the garden.🙂 Blessings to you.❤

[@MarieAnderson-ly7lf]

Just beautifully i sure did enjoy watching YALL video thank you

[@donna-n5h]

Your garden is just amazing! Everything looks so healthy. It looks like the perfect time of year for gardening in Missouri. Here in the South where I live some plants are becoming stressed from the heat . I did hear that Missouri and states up North are experiencing a heat wave . My better bush tomatoes did wonderful and are so tasty. I have garlic in my small garden and I’m not sure what variety because for Mother’s Day my husband planted the garlic for me . He also added a small bed at the end of our somewhat larger raised bed and that’s where he put the garlic . I was surprised to see the garlic bulbs at the top of your garlic plant. I think you said it was a hard variety . I missed your last video so I need to catch up on my viewing. I love every plant in your garden and I was going to name some of them but all the plants are doing so well I would have named every plant!! Thank you for sharing your homestead May our Lord bless you & your family ❤

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you for sharing a bit of your gardening story.🙂 I hope your garlic does amazing. Blessings to you.❤

[@healingacres1748]

Incredibly beautifu! Can you do a video on all your birds? You seem to have a very relaxed way of caring for them yet they flourish!! Today I'm planting my garden for the second time. We have had a very cold spring in Canada and we got frost for three nights in a row. But the sunflowers survived!! Esther your pancakes make me drool! Blessings on you all!

[@1000sofroots]

I hope your second try brings abundance. That's amazing that the sunflowers survived.🙂 Blessings to you.❤

Your gardens are beautiful- I hope you have a bountiful crop! 💜

[@klogns]

Beautiful gardens. I love that your children take such an active role in gardening. An invaluable asset in life. Always look forward to seeing your videos

[@Harmonylovess]

Absolutely beautiful Esther pie and all of the children have gained so much knowledge from you that is such a blessing! Ester pie your blueberry pancakes look so mouthwatering. Carrie if you have Plaintain growing chew it and put it on the wasp sting like a poultice lots of love and prayer. As far as your corn do you hand pollinate or do you go by wind pollination? I have my cabbage covered in tullie do you uncover the cabbage completely while watering ? My family and I look forward to your next video and we enjoyed the piano lesson at the end God bless you and to family.

[@1000sofroots]

Plantain is our go to herb for stings. It took the pain away within minutes and even the initial swelling went down before the end of the day. We hand pollinate our corn whenever we grow a small patch. We don't uncover the cabbage to water. It seems to go through the cover pretty evenly. Blessings to you and your family.❤

[@MsLittlehummingbird1]

I love your families homestead ❤ the gardens are beautiful this time of year the beautiful flowers. I also have followed for awhile now, Ester Pie, you are a growing Into such a beautiful kind young lady 😊

[@1000sofroots]

[@almamoore8446]

Love touring your beautiful garden. Its go great to see your children helping and tey seem to love it. Ester is taller, she is a good quick learner. My the bless you and keep your family together.

[@katrinaDS]

Your garden is absolutely beautiful! It’s been really cool watching how much your homestead/garden has changed over the years. You guys have put so much hard work and dedication into making your place beautiful and functional. ❤

[@BarradaleFarm]

Your garden is looking so beautiful! And the main crop area looks wonderful as well as productive. ❤️

[@whatevgirlie]

I thoroughly enjoyed the video this week. You have a very beautiful thing going and I might would give an eye tooth to have your growing expertise! I don't seem to have good luck growing. I never give up, I'm doing it with my whole heart! ❤ It was great seeing Kip in the previous vlog. I, personally, would really enjoy a vlog showing all the ways that you all use and preserve the foods that you grow. It must feel wonderful to eat so clean! Love and prayers to you all! Melissa

[@catheyharris4701]

Hi you guys have done so good. I really enjoyed your tour.

[@joycecook8876]

Love the garden tour, everything about it! ❤

[@fayejones6740]

Your gardens are beautiful. That’s a lot of work.

[@Jacksk2992]

Oh wow! What a magnificent garden tour! It's just amazing. The fine rock pathways between the beds looks so beautiful and fun for bare feet. But, really it looks as though there is divine supervision and contribution to bless your family with such garden grace! (Alot of hard and fruitful work as well. ❤)

[@truejoy3779]

Lovely as always 😊 Thank you for the tour ❤

Sorry about all my mistakes in writting , But sayig The Lord bless and keep learning.

[@DoraElia-bs1em]

Your gardens look great.

[@CreepingThyme]

Lookin good! Missouri here too. I have been growing a sweet potato variety called Bush Porto Rico. It is delicious & a space saver.

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you for the recommendation.🙂

[@davidcanaday]

Since you practice earthing / grounding, have you explored the benefits of electroculture for your garden ?

[@1000sofroots]

No I haven't. That's a new term for me. Thanks for mentioning it.

[@tessaelly3567]

Do you eat the garlic scapes? If you haven't, they are delicious and definitely worth trying!

[@1000sofroots]

We just added them to a pot of green beans for dinner tonight.🙂

[@tessaelly3567]

@1000sofroots Mixed with green beans is how I have them too, though i like to saute them with a shake of cumin, enjoy! :) Amazing to see a full tour of your gorgeous garden 🙂

[@jackiehorsley9263]

Beautiful gardens how do you get your cabbage and cauliflower and broccoli through the hot summer my cabbage cauliflower never would make very good heads

[@1000sofroots]

Great question. I start them early in our greenhouse, plant them out under a row cover before the last frost, and grow fast maturing varieties. Broccoli - Gemini and Monty, Cauliflower - Amazing, and Cabbage - Golden Cross, Stonehead, Katarina, and Tiara. Blessings to you.❤

[@susanyates4233]

Thank you, Carrie. Is the white stuff snow? Love abd best wishes from Susn in UK.

[@KJPartyof6]

I think it's the ground covering for their play area, the pea gravel prob got washed away in the spring rain.

[@debcross7162]

Beautiful gardens, how many quarts of food do you preserve off this?

[@1000sofroots]

We'll see. Our main crop garden is new this year, so this will be our first year canning larger quantities of produce.🙂

[@Amal.Smith.L]

Do you eat the leaves of the sweet potato and beets? They are good eating

[@1000sofroots]

Yes we do.🙂

[@Ozarkmountainoutback1]

Those could very well be voles. You must be proactive with them otherwise they will ruin your root crops even in raised beds.

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for the tip. We'll look into how to get rid of them.🙂

[@sharonhaas8503]

💝💘💖

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

Garlic planted in the Fall stores better and longer than garlic planted in the Spring

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you for the great tip!🙂

[@theresiamerglewski5845]

This is pretty much my first time doing a garden every time my carrots come up the raccoons dig them up 🫤

[@1000sofroots]

That must be so frustrating. Our dogs keep the racoons away from our gardens. I hope you get at least a few carrots. Blessings.❤

[@judyseekford9656]

Why do you only plant small amounts of food?

[@DoraElia-bs1em]

How much do you plant Ms Judy?

[@1000sofroots]

We plant as much as we can in the space we currently have.
