Thank you Julia! I am so grateful my mother and father in law gave me these iron gates. They just make the garden magical! God bless you!

[@Angela410R]

Last year I ordered so many things from Baker Creek and I had so little growth rate I will never purchase anything from there again unfortunately I hate to say that but it's just the truth. I from now on will always order everything from Hoss Tools, the only thing that I did not have superb germination right on was my squash other than that I had a great germination on everything. Every penny that you spend on Hoss Tools you've spent your money wisely. You're Protege Garden is lovely every time that I see it I'm more impressed🦋 You have such a precious Spirit about you thank you for sharing this with us it is such a rarity we are so blessed to have you as a KZbinr that's willing to share their time space in life with us, God bless you

I’m like what you described in that I give my all when I’m around people and then have to go hide for 10 days to recharge. I’ve always wondered what that is about. Glad to hear someone else say that! Beautiful gardens!

You are an introvert. That doesn't necessarily mean shy or not a people person. It just means people drain your energy. Extroverts get energy from people.

[@ccsunshine59]

So lovely!!! I know you must feel close to God when you are in your Garden. You can see the love y'all put into it :)

Yes I do Christie! My garden is definitely my favorite time with the Lord!

I’m happy to watch another update of your beautiful garden. I know it’s a lot of work but it really looks to be paying off for you. It’s amazing to see the changes in your plants over time. I love watching my garden grow a little each day, that is my favorite part of gardening. It’s so fun to have the growth documented over the season to look back at and see your progress. I love that about being a garden KZbinr. Let’s learn & grow more together!

[@justdigitfarms]

Oh thank you so much Deborah! This makes my day!

[@iartistdotme]

I adore Roselle! The flowers are beautiful, it fills space like no one's business., the deer don't touch it, and the leaves are even good for you. I don't care for the leaves but when dried, they can enhance stews and soups if dehydrated and crushed into powder. The BEST way I think is to dehydrate the pods and add some to a pitcher of cold water. After it sits for 15 minutes, strain it and add sugar and you have instant Kool-Aid - the kids love it and it is good for them. They dry so well that I found a 2020 jar full in back of my storage and decided to give it a try - great - no deterioration in strength or flavor.. Instant Kool-Aid with ease - try it! Love how you arranged with God for the fabulous sunset during the filming. SO very beautiful. I also really love your curved beds and will surely use that idea. Great video!

[@justdigitfarms]

Hi Mary! I’ll definitely give the Roselle kook aid a try! Thanks for joining us!

[@carriem7832]

I have mullein growing and found out it’s so medicinal….last year I dried the leaves and made a tincture by putting it in vodka. My husband smokes and has that cough at times so I had him drink some tincture, the next morning he didn’t cough like he usually does. It’s great for the lungs and you can dry it for tea or smoke it on a pipe…. You said you might plant flowers. I have made echinacea flowers into a tincture …I love how they are pretty yet medicinal. So far this year I’ve made dandelion tinture and dried some for tea….dried purple nettle, I’m now drying lemon balm. Which last night I made chamomile and lemon balm tea and I actually slept better then I have in a long time. I just read sweet mint is a mood enhancer and that it helps with depression….with all that’s going on I’m definitely will be drying this for tea. I’ve made some bird houses and it has helped with bug control in my gardens…..I’m excited to have a Baltimore Oriole coming to my humming bird feeder….some of the flowers on the container came off and the holes are large enough for him to drink from. If I had such a pretty garden as you do I’d have a screened in sitting area right in the middle, a peaceful place to be alone and rest . Your baby plants you said are having some difficulty taking off. I have found wood chips can keep from letting the plant soak up water and some leaf compost at first works better for me. What I do is keep the wood chips back until the plant gets well established. Comfrey compost tea or epson salt diluted helps my babies…just a suggestion….

[@justdigitfarms]

Swoon 😍 the garden is so lovely. I’m going off your design here as we start working on our potager. It will be years but it’s started ♥️ Just a note on the roselle which I used to grow in Florida- keep an eye on it. It was a mealy bug magnet for me.

[@justdigitfarms]

Oh thanks for the heads up! I would love to see your Potager design plans😊. I need to catch up on my iheartHOMESTEADING video watching!

[@kathygreenbean3132]

Looking fantastic! I started rhubarb and asparagus and it has shoots although it will be a couple years before I can harvest from it. I have so much shade, I have very little space to grow more. My red knock out roses are putting on quite a show now. The azaleas are about finished. I have lots of different hostas.

Sounds lovely Kathy! Happy gardening!

[@justdigitfarms]

Thank you for joining us. We have a lot of Bermuda and I hand pull weeds a lot and we spray the borders with vinegar to try and keep the grass from creeping in

[@justdigitfarms]

Maggie is so beautiful and fragrant. I do grow strawberries in my raised beds companion planted with asparagus. Go check that video out

[@dewayneolson476]

Your peggy martin rose is beautiful; is it native to south or can I get one here in Wasington State? Love your place

[@justdigitfarms]

It is not native here I feel confident it would do well for you as it is grown In Extreme cold & heat climates

[@psalms125selah]

worm castings and potash will help those butterfly pea plants that you use for medicinal teas, the mulch and leaves mulched all around them could be making the soil to acidic for them, so by adding the worm castings, it will give them a boost and the potash will boost the PH back up to neutral, you perhaps might also want to add a little lime dust around the plants as well and water it in, it will take longer for the lime to raise the PH, than the potash, but will do a more gradual raise to the soils PH, do PH test on your soil around the plant periodically to see if it is right for that plant! You should see some new green healthy growth after these amendments, Dr. Earth Golden bloom can also be watered in on the leaves for a boost to help! May God bless your gardens and everything you put your hands to do on your homestead as it blesses others with it and also of yourself with your time and knowledge!

[@melaniel442]

Tracy..I’m curious if you plan to let your strawberries fill in the middle of your asparagus bed and just allow asparagus to come up through berry plants? I have an established asparagus bed and wondering if I could add compost and berries around the edges? Just a thought??…since I’m always looking to maximize space but still allow plants to fully develop and produce. I 😍 your companion planting! 🤔🍓

[@justdigitfarms]

Hey Melanie. I think you could totally add some strawberries to your asparagus bed! I’d give it a try!

[@lindacaruthers7873]

i have a 1865 single petal white rose bush that i got from a co-worker years ago in 2000 she got from an old alabama cememtary she helped clean up it has always been solid white till this years it has some pale pink roses on it the only thing i can think of is i had planted some pink 7 sisters roses on the same fence area could it be possible they mated together just wondering

Hi Tracy! Yes, most of my old antique roses have a heavenly fragrance! Not sure exactly what zone you are in North Texas. But I believe most of Texas is very similar to our growing zone. Are you anywhere near the antique Rose emporium?

A little off topic but do you have any issues with carpenter bees around all that new deck wood? I installed a new porch ceiling and privacy wall and the bees won't leave it alone. Was wondering if you had a solution to get rid of those?
