Definitely.

[@praypetsrraptured2506]

Your son should win the "Son of the year" award, every year. What an outstanding young man you have there.

[@searchthescripturesdaily]

I hope Ben knows how blessed he is to have a mom like you to raise him in the way he should go. I've been catching up.

[@glamdolly30]

I think he does! What a genuinely charming young man Ben is. A son to be proud of, for sure.

[@MarysNest]

Thank you so much!! Ben is such a gem and I feel so blessed when he tells me I’m the best mom in the whole wide world. ❤️😘❤️

It made me cry to see you and your son working together and the love and respect you have for each other. I miss my boys so much. They are in America and we live in Italy. God bless you.

[@MarysNest]

Oh Linda!! Thank you so much for the kind words. They really touched my heart. I am so sorry that you and your sons are an Ocean apart. Hopefully you can come to the US soon to visit. My mother’s side of the family is in Italy. They live in Cernobbio above Como. It’s just darling there. Love, Mary❤️😘❤️

[@natalialopes719]

I live in the USA and my son was in Italy in Naples for three years with the u.s. Navy. I know how hard it is. Maybe you can come to the USA and visit your son? Hope you get together soon. It was very nice to see you and your wonderful son together Mary. He seems like a very nice young man

Hi Lillie, We have more coming up together!! It has been a delight having him home with us during this quarantine time. He is such a wonderful son!! We love him so much!! Love, Mary

[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Mary's Nest you could have a series teaching young men (women too) how to be self-sufficient in the kitchen. My male relatives couldn’t cook even if their lives depended on it. They’d survive on drive-thru or starve. 😂

[@kaclark9696]

Mary, your son Ben is a sweetheart. I enjoyed this video and especially Ben's input. He's excited, just like you are, about growing, planting and helping you.

[@ba_saved]

What a sweet son. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they raise their kids.

[@glendagonzalez2469]

I've been growing leeks, green onions, onions, garlic and book choy on my kitchen window from scraps for a long time. I start them in water and transfer them to small terracotta pots. I usually get 2 or 3 growths out of the same plant. When the plant grows I cut most of it and keep the lower part intact in the pot where it will grow again and again. Eventually it doesn't grow anymore. Buy once and eat multiple times, it's awesome.

[@lindacrawford4324]

YOUR SON BEN IS SO SWEET & POLITE. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HEAR IF YOUR ADVENTURES TOGETHER. YOU COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER & YOUR LOVE CAN REALLY BE SEEN ON CAMERA. NICE THAT HE SHARES IN HELPING YOU TO BRING US ALL THESE WONDERFUL POINTERS. THANK YOU MARY & BEN!

[@junipergreene2467]

Super sweet mother and son duo! Ben is a wonderful young man! How do you and your family stay so happy and positive? Looking forward to more videos!

[@MarysNest]

Thank you so much for the kind words. He really is a gem and we love him SO much!! As to our happy positive attitude, we all tend to be optimists and I really rely on the strong faith that my mom passed on to me. She would always tell me - no matter what..."God is in His Heaven and all is right with the world. Let your heart now be troubled. This too shall pass." Even during difficult times - as we are going through now - I, along with my husband and son, always lean on those words. Sending much love and good will your way! Love, Mary

[@junipergreene2467]

Mary's Nest thank you for sending good will! Your radiance comes through. Abundant joy and energy to you and your wonderful family! And happy plants :)

Such a beautiful video in so many ways. I was flooded with emotion and memories as I watched. My teenage sons and I are starting over after the sudden death of my husband earlier this year. My milk cows have been sold and soon my homestead will go on the market as well. We have labored side by side throughout my boys’ lives. I pray they never forget all they’ve learned.

The patience and respect you’re sweet son and hubby have for you here, is just a delight to behold. And how lovely reminiscing on the past memories with your boy.... the time moves so quickly with our little ones...as a mama of five daughters, I just have to say, I would be Delighted for any of them to bring home a friend, as sweet, and respectful to his mother and to them, as your son. (I say only friend, as my eldest just became a teen, and I’m not fully ready to face what comes next with my precious girls. Lol) What a fine young man you’ve raised. I’ve learned so much in your videos. Thank you for the clear, patient, joyful motherly teaching. Many of us weren’t taught that way And missed a lot of vital knowledge, needed to be any kind of self sufficient, in these trying times. May God continue to bless you and your lovely family!!

HI Mary, Love the interaction that you have with your sweet son Ben. He will forever and always hold you in his heart of love. He will go on sharing his love for you and the memories that you two make together with people his whole life.

[@kurtnelezen6629]

Mary, it is so good to see your son Ben helping you with your garden. He is so great to help you! I did have a tip because you had mentioned deer. Living in Wisconsin, I can't grow veggies all year like you, but in summer when the deer and rabbits want my goodies, I use Vicks Vapor rub (generic) on the underside of fence beams, and also on strips of fabric tied to stakes or fences. A good thick smear of that on fence beams, posts, or fabric on stakes will keep them away for a good month.

[@MarysNest]

What a great tip!! Thank you!!❤️🤗❤️

[@cutesybunny3360]

Wow awesome!!! 😁👍

[@jewelsbarbie]

Mary, if you can grow mountain mint (Pycnanthemum virginianum), it will attract bees, particularly honeybees, like nothing you've ever seen before! It does spread and grow, but it does well in super hot conditions (we're in North Carolina - it's 95 degrees with 98% humidity right now), and it is a native North American native planting. I have to work around the honeybees in my garden where the mountain mint is growing, because they are crawling over each other to get to it! It's so wonderful to see you and your son having fun in the garden. I grew up on a working farm and as I became an adult, my parents would still help me with my little backyard gardens. Such a blessing!

Ben is a sweet young man! Thank you for helping your sweet mom, Ben. Thank you both for teaching us all about planting the growing scrap plants. I’m going shopping for planters and garden soil tomorrow! (I live in an apartment, so it’s balcony growing for me)

Hello from Western Kentucky Mary and Ben! I just happened upon your channel this weekend while looking for a video to learn about canning strawberry jam. Now I’ve binged watched you for three days straight lol. I love seeing you out in the garden and sharing some fun family memories with us. When I first started watching you I thought you were English and then I find out you are a southerner lol. 🙌🇺🇸 You’ve taught me so much in three days time. Thank you, and God bless you for caring and sharing. Carol B.

I'm 22 years of age and just started a little garden I came across your video growing a garden from scraps and ive just fallen in love ! You should do an update on your garden! It's beautiful! Sending love to you and your family! ❤️

[@MarysNest]

Hi Paige, That is awesome! Here is a link to the playlist where I show my garden now (link below). Unfortunately - my scrap garden - along with everything else - died in the terrible Texas storms we had back in February. But I'm back on track: kzbin.info/aero/PLkRuW3pBo2U2fsov9ia3p7FAJ4JbdqNfb So glad you're here! Love, Mary

[@rochellewilson4679]

Wow! Your son seems so respectful… nice job, Mom and Dad :)

[@sealfan1000]

Thank you, for sharing your sweet son-what a ray of Light.

[@MarysNest]

He really is! Such a blessing and we love him SO much!! Love, Mary

[@cindys9858]

Very thoughtful to mention other channels from different climates. I had beautiful gardens in New England then moved to Florida and feel lost gardening here.

[@MarysNest]

Hi Cindy, I understand completely!! Gardening in Texas is completely different than what I was used to gardening back east, so I know how you feel. Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️

[@YaelKaner]

I'm in the Judean desert in Israel so your really teaching me important considerations. Thank you.

Mary's soothing voice just left me memorized, lol! How relaxing, educational, and refreshing her videos are. And the videos with her son Ben are the absolute best! What a sweet relationship they have.
