Oh my goodness my husband definitely pops things off like “this will be the best way to do it” with perfect confidence and immediately I’m like.... “okay, but why do you say that? Sources? MLA works cited please” 😂

[@ladybeetleco]

Megan Rankin MLA works cited ❤️😂

[@BasseltonMiniFarm]

MLA!!!😆

[@Jennian_3]

I'm a mix up of both extremes. Research and perfection anxiety. Yet I am also "throw care to the wind" and "put the cart before the horse". It's always a surprise of which it will be today 😂

[@crystalmasters8582]

Same same lol 🤷🏼‍♀️💜

[@ZaharaYukon]

Hello from Northern Canada! Zone 7 - Pacific North coast rainforest. I am just getting my garden started now because the soil is finally thawed! Direct sowing a few seeds but starting my tomato, pepper, squash seedlings indoors. I find your videos so helpful, and after this video I feel more confident direct sowing a wider variety!

[@chadwilliams7987]

Always enjoy & learn a bunch by listening to you.

[@hollybacon3172]

I find myself checking my phone all the time to see if you've posted yet, because it uplifts my day so much to watch your videos ❤

[@iartistdotme]

I learned a shocking lesson when we moved to the country when my son was 2 yo. They are raised completely different out here and to my horror, we went back to the city as he turned 3 for a wedding. It was held at a HUGE church where people wore church clothes, real shoes (not boots) and dress jackets not button down cowboy shirts. After the service, we were all standing outside talking to old friends and as I looked at my son, we had his back to me while standing in front of a tree. Of course, he had to do this in front of the whole congregation. Country boys are so natural! But my 3 yo daughter had him beat. We went in town to a nice big box hardware where they sold flower boxes and fancy sinks instead of fence posts and cattle tanks. I was checking out and turned to see her sitting on the floor model toilet, pants down. I wasn't fast enough and will forever be mortified at what I saw in the bowl when I grabbed her. We sure were country come to town back then as I kept being reminded of all the things I wasn't teaching them. 50 years later it makes a great story but --.

[@americaneden3090]

I love this story!!!!

[@amorashby3116]

Love it! Kids can be so innocent

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

This so funny.

[@heathersumner4497]

We were at the back of the property working and we finally convinced my niece that a cider block was just an outdoor potty. She used that thing all day. There is 10 years between her and her sister. We were outside working and her sister needed to go potty and she took her over to a cinder block and was trying to convince her to go potty instead of going in the house. Apparently she felt if it was good enough for her as a kid it was good enough for her sister. She got over ruled since we were close to the house. She took her inside and we busted up laughing. Who knew cinder blocks made such great little kid port-a-potties.

[@iartistdotme]

@@heathersumner4497 That is funny and true- creative use of building supplies! LOL

[@karentohm881]

I have trouble sowing seed because we have an abundance of birds which like to snack on my seed. I swear the crows sit and watch me plant. Then come the next morning for breakfast. The last time I tried to direct sow I sat on my porch with a 22 rifle. Out of 5 rows 40 ft rows of corn. 2 rows of peas 2rows of Bush beans . I got maybe a dozen or so plants. So I just start everything in my greenhouse. But on a more positive note we don't get very many tomatoe or cabbage worms. Because the birds like to eat them also.💕💖❤💕💖❤

[@joyceday2823]

I built my first raised bed with my son today. My son can get some aged horse compost dirt to feel it. I'm excited to see how this will work out for me. I'm planning using

[@gardeningjunkie2267]

I companion plant with marigolds. It looks beautiful and really does deter the harmful insects.

[@willow8094]

47 is a heat wave ! Lol That's awesome hat and scarf . I am putting fox pee to keep away bunnies but read that pee from humans is also perfect so the boys are helping guard the yard of predators . Love the copper roof !!!

[@roefane2258]

To everyone getting Carrots Love Tomatoes, don’t forget to get Roses Love Garlic too! Nothing like having bunches of pretty flowers and colors to look at in your garden when trying to companion plant.

[@mmogg4045]

great advice!

[@tiffany02020]

Ur kids are funny. My nephew also tries to imitate my goats, but he can’t “warble” his voice yet so he shakes his head back and forth and goes very confidently “I can speak goat. They say FEED ME” which I can’t argue with 😂😂😂

[@SunnieDIY]

Lol me and my kiddo just watched little shop of horrors and I was getting that feed me vibe from the goats too lol.

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Sounds like my cat at 430in the morning MMMMMMMMU FEED ME

[@KB-wk3th]

Everything is relevant to what you're used to. Living in zone 10 I'm in snow pants and a parka when it gets below 60 (not even joking). Glad you're enjoying the day despite the cold. Be well :o)

[@yolandapierce4258]

This video was so helpful. Companion planting stresses me out. I had someone tell me one year when I was battling the first hornworms that I had ever seen in my 12 years of gardening, to plant marigolds. So I did my little bit of research and set out to seed the most gorgeous marigolds. I had them as a border in the garden and down a few rows. I'll never be convinced that the they didn't BRING pests to my garden lmao I have never dealt with squash bugs, cucumber beetles and whatever else was out there.....until those darned marigolds. Never again lol

[@chellsielaferty6846]

I love growing with pro mix. I have tried to switch from it but I always go back cuz the results are just.... like I feel like it make it easy for the plants and is most comfortable for them lol

[@HappyFarmsLa]

You're awesome! I agree, don't worry so much about what goes where. lettuce bags are doing so great!

[@pokemonone5630]

love your headband so much

[@WMHhomestead]

My son just turned 2 yesterday and I can’t wait to have him be helpful (and not so destructive) in the garden like your boys lol

[@spiritwoodlive5597]

Goodness sakes girl !!! You are a living doll!! I say this meaning, you have found your calling. Blessings!!! Much love ❤️. ps. Maybe the magnets 🧲 gift would be good on the sweet metal ornamental comfy chair 🪑 in the background of your greenhouse Keep on a rockin it!!

My kitty does the same thing Bear does! If you have a free hand, then it’s supposed to be rubbing on her! You don’t just use one hand to love on her 😂

[@marilynryan7822]

I get so excited when a notification pops up.I found myself lol with you and answering you. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this subject🦋 Lol....12:00pm 30 degrees here in CT. The baby pigs are adorable. Outdoor peeing.. yep understand about having to remind the boys...and I don’t live in the country 😌Blessings

[@sherreenations5275]

Do you feed all those Hornworms and bugs to the chickens?Jess I am super excited..I have sent two types of very very rare bean seeds unique to the area I reside...both with history..to yes BAKER CREEK for study and field trials, hopefully they will be some that can be passed on to generations, I talked to Martin Marsh. Super nice guy a busy guy.

[@galetimpone1712]

got my Clyde's Garden Planner the other day and it is very helpful ...ty for sharing this information.

[@suellenw561]

You mention not planting cucumbers & squash together because each takes more water. On the other hand, if you DO plant them together, you only have that area of the garden to water more often.

[@colleenstinton-czuprynski9894]

Love your pigs.❤️

[@sharoncardenas4146]

Your seedlings are looking great! Maybe next year I can get a small green house. I only have an acre of land, so my garden is very small, but the pleasure & enjoyment it brings me is HUGE!!! So happy for y'all for making all the changes at your farm! Must be exciting. I've got garden fever bad. Not much longer & I'll be starting mine. Your boys are too cute for words!!! Blessings to all the Sowards! Always anxious for your next video....until next time! : )

[@HaphazardGardens]

Oh my I am crying with laughter about all your boys and not catching them peeing on things in your shots 😂

I was raised with 5 brothers in the country on what we called our 2.5 acre farm. I understand boys and trees! Too funny! Now I deal with it with My grandson moving from the mountains near Yosemite to Clovis/Fresno Ca. Trying to explain why you can't pee in public turned my face blue!

In North Dakota at 47° we are in t shirts 😂 But when it's anything above 85° I get wilty and want to recluse inside with the A/C! 😂😂

Blood curdling screams. LOL! I haven't met a kid, yet that didn't love to scream at the top of the lungs when outside. We had a little girl that lived down the street that would stand outside and just let out the most terrifying screams. Nothing wrong, everything is good, but Ima gonna scream to my heart's content. lol.

[@EmilyMaltas]

LMAO! My daughter walks out the front door and screams "ECHO". She tries inside, but no one understands what she's screaming. (She's 3)

It’s a REAL problem for us here in MN when the kids get cooped up inside for weeks and weeks.

[@caragrandlegardens766]

“Ahhh cute!” That’s my exact feeling when I see the seed babies

[@brownfamilia4]

I always used to say that God showed his love to homeschool moms by giving them a sunny day that’s warm enough to play outside at least once a week during the winter 😂.

[@northstarprepsteader]

I love borage for the bees! They pay SO much attention to the plant/blossoms that they don't even care that I'm around them :)

[@redpanda_ann]

Can I come to your house to eat a salad? 😂 I can’t grow lettuce to save my life

[@louiseanderwin1]

1000 times yes on your points on companion planting! It makes gardening too complicated and there is so much conflicting information out there, very little based on actual science. Just watch spacing, and light, nutrient and water requirements of different plants, that is all.

[@aseasonedmomandanemptynest5190]

Awhhh... little boys, the world is their urinal! Lol! Thanks for sharing the peeing outdoors part. I laughed out loud because I raised 3 boys! Blessings to you all!

[@SouthernLatitudesFL]

Thank you for getting this info out about companion planting! There is one Pinterest chart out there that say don't plant x next to y. Then, down at line y, it says to plant with x. 😂

[@kellepiety5141]

Hahah! I can’t even count the amount of times we’ve been at church and I look over and my son is just peeing in the grass or a tree if there is one:) And my two year old daughter just gave you a kiss lol she loves watching your boys and the animals:)

[@practicallyheidi8505]

I could never direct sow for spring in Southern Minnesota. We go from freezing cold to hot. I have 3 feet of snow in my garden. Sigh. But I have noticed we don't have the pests warmer zines have. I have never had a pest ever in my garden after having a garden for 15 years. PS 4 boys with 11 snow days in 1 month last winter. I so get it. 50 is shorts weather. We also get over 100 in Minnesota.

[@lisahoche4017]

Can you do an update on the beet cluster sowing? I want to try it as well.

[@kristalmonteith9699]

My Roots and Refuge Clyde's Garden Planner is on it's way! I wasn't sure if I could get it because I am in Canada but it only cost $2 more :D

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

That's the thing about gardening. Most things are grey loose guidelines. People seem to want everything black and white. Unfortunately, nature don't work that way. Borage may no keep the hornworm away. The noise and busy airspace of bees coming for the flowers might make the hornworm adult uncomfortable and thus, no larvae. Some people say the seeds may rot, but I think that would be where temperature got high enough to start germination or really hard freeze. My experience is like you said, the seeds just sit there and come up when the soil warms enough. Basically, they will start to grow when the annual weeds start. 19:05 LOL yes, 25C (77F) is newfie boiling point! 22:32 DON'T TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS!! LOL

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

She also sent me splash of cream seeds! I am so excited to grow them out💚 she's such a sweet gal

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

I grew up on a farm with 3 younger brothers and peeing outside in the fields was normal for them but me a girl I had to walk all the way back to the house to go.

I planted basil as a companion plant for my tomatoes. I had 100 percent no horn worms... except I had a hornworm on my American cranberry bush that is planted a lot further away that the basil and tomatoes.

[@takishasage-freebeautyzone]

🤯🤯🤯 You would have died with the rubik's cube calculus origami of a plan that I made from those Pinterest charts🤣. The only 2 things that I found that really liked was planting Bush beans next to zucchini, and planting basil next to my tomatoes. Everything else, never seemed to matter. Btw, please disregard some of my questions from the vertical gardening video. I'm new to your channel, and you answered a lot of questions in this video. So thanks! Btw, we were stationed in Little Rock 6 years ago. My youngest was born there. She wants to visit to see where she's from ☺.

[@wildedibles819]

I experiment and make photo notes... Experimenting where too diff soil and light requirements

[@Mrs.Patriot]

I grew up in Arkansas (Wynne), eventually wound up in Denver. Went back to Ar for Christmas and FROZE my butt off at 40°! I couldn't wait to get back to Denver where it was 30. Different climate, different feel. Thanks for your common sense approach. Also, check out Myers-Briggs personality tests. I bet you're an introvert. The ones on the web for free aren't really accurate, though! Also - maybe borage is a trap crop, supposed to draw the tomato hornworms instead of repel?

[@NatureSour]

You and your family are adorable! Don’t feel bad about needing the jacket at 50. I’m in AZ and am freezing at anything under 70. I just started really (like actually researching and reading) learning to garden this season, so far I’m not killing all my baby plants like prior attempts. 🙌🏻 But it’s the desert and only in the 60’s this week, so there’s still plenty of time for me to screw up... 🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@gardenvarietyvegan4096]

Regarding your cold weather, I’m from Minnesota and 50 in humid southern states feels so much colder than 50 degrees here ⛄️ we recently spent a cold cloudy rainy “vacation” in Florida felt COLDER than it would be in Minnesota at 50 degrees. I wore a winter jacket with layers most of the time. I feel your pain! ⛄️⛄️⛄️

[@joyinallthechaos]

ok I had to share this after you were talking about the boys peeing outside lol When we had only 2 boys and lived in TN we were moving down to the FL keys. I used the out doors to trained my two boys because were always outside. The first sunday at church in the keys we heard people laughing coming in. They just laughed and we in service. My husband told me the two boys were peeing off the front steps of the church 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@intentionallymade]

I suggest letting your back to eden space uncovered so it can start to decompose and get let nature do its thing. I’m doing it and the BTE group told me that I should and if anything seeds, I’m hoping I can just catch it. What do you think about that? Because I almost covered mine as well with black plastic. I may still solarize other areas but for the part I have everything down I won’t. I’m mixing a few methods though and just going to go with it haha. I’m a compulsive researcher as well haha.

[@SunnieDIY]

18 degrees today and I wore a long dress and a hoodie out. Tennis shoes. It was cold but not cold like windy cold can be that stuff will get right in your bones.

[@thepaintedstonecottage]

I’m a throw it all together and see what happens gardener. In one of my 4’x4’ beds I have 2 types of tomatoes, cabbage, banana peppers,, radishes, white globe zucchini, and romaine lettuce and everything seems to be thriving just fine even in Florida. I can’t handle making things perfect, I just cram things in where ever I have a open space and let God handle the rest.

[@pattihayden8100]

OMG boys peeing in the yard? Really?? I taught...well maybe allowed my grandsons to pee in the backyard, it’s always ok for them to do the “boy” thing 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤫

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

If your putting up a wire fence on those nice posts I would encourage you to cover it in fruits that vine! Hardy kiwi (Ken's red female and a hardy male that will cross pollinate it). Table grapes, Red Flame will grow in your zone and taste wonderful!!!! Chinese magnolia vine, it flowers and is edible. Blackberries (columbia giant thorneless) are huge and lovely choice. Raspberries and many other caning fruits! I highly recommend these nurseries: burntridgenursery.com and raintreenursery.com

[@JohnsonBranchFarm]

Have you ever used a soil blocker? Do you find it’s better to just buy the plastic trays?

[@chelseagrimsley6689]

I'm rewatching this is 2021! I had brassica seeds (Japanese giant red mustard and ragged jack/red Russian kale) over winter in the "polar vortex" when it got down to -20F and tons of rain and snow this winter.

[@GhorigOfTheHranFel]

9:26 Not just Roots and Refuge but anyway who grows regularly: How can I know when to move seedlings to a bigger pot? I mean in general for all vegetables I don't direct sow but more specifically, I have 5 arabica coffee trees that are about 4 inches tall in a starter pot about 4" deep, but I'm reluctant to take them out of their pot to see where the roots are in the soil - don't want to damage them? Will pulling them out and putting in new soil create any kind of "shock" to them? Am I worrying about nothing? lol Should I just pull them out (carefully) and check the roots to see if they're... what, bunching up at the bottom like they need more room? I don't even know what to look for, lol.

[@jody2873]

I always love your videos, but especially when the slow trickle of sweet music pops up in the background. After a long day of work it settles me and gives me peace- Thanks!👍

[@sweetpea3472]

I'm one of those companion planting "rule" followers. Or I have been. It's been stressful indeed. Lol! I became a believer because of watching my own cabbages & tomatoes. Their rows were perpendicular and the closer they got to one another the smaller they were. I became a companion planter and have been careful & miserable ever since! And I'm not sure I have been a whole lot benefited, at all. I would have to do all the "holds" to prove it to myself now, because I'm as of now going to attempt to throw caution to the wind and turn over a new leaf! Thanks, Jessica!

[@AdaraAhab]

Your sons are so cute!!! Omg!!!! Love the video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. And as a mother from the south with two boys I agree with the whole potty training thing. Lol. Boys will go anywhere lmaooooo

[@samwalker1735]

Thanks for this helpful video. Quick question, what do you use that ornate jug for? I've noticed it in many videos just sat in your greenhouse and just wondered why you have such a delicate looking jug in the greenhouse where it could easily be damaged. Just curious, many thanks

[@hardcastlehomestead]

I CANNOT wait for conversations in the greenhouse this year! I’m super excited to see all your seeds in that large of a space! My brother is getting into stain glass making and I hope he makes me a black iris similar to yours!

[@aquillawallace7979]

Hi I'm in MD zone 7B and i see these black dots in my hoophouse greenhouse. I know they are from bugs. How do you keep the bugs out? I'm afraid to start aything!

[@mrsjuliasmith3433]

My tomato and pepper seedlings have just developed their 2nd set of leaves and now I'm wondering whether or not I should begin fertilizing them. Do you fertilize your seedlings and do you have any suggestions or preferences on organic fertilizers that are good for seedlings? Thank you.

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

FOURTY SEVEN that is spring. In Ontario Canada we have temp from below 0 F. To 89 to 90 F.
