Full Garden Tours 2020 | WEEK TWO | Roots and Refuge Farm

[@veravalo]

Roses are dangerous in a good way. It starts with one, then one day you wake up and there's roses everywhere, and you start talking to them xD and eventually they talk back.

[@vickip54]

Angelika Valo That’s not such a bad thing? 😊

[@debbiejackson7846]

Oh that is funny. And for the most part TRUE. :)

[@rafaelarodriguez5801]

I just planted some roses but they are getting hit by black spots and I find myself talking to them asking them what they need to get better.

I'm having a shitty night with a little boy who can't sleep cause he's got a blocked nose. And just as I'm about to just start crying 😅 (single mum feels) I see that you've posted a new garden tour and my night is saved 💕🌱

[@ishamahmood8901]

Don’t worry, it will be alright- all us mums feel like crying when things get intense, it will pass and you will look back on this time fondly. Have a great week 🌻

[@crt9082]

❤❤❤❤

[@Kari22292]

Sorry try to make a game of playing with a box of tissues you can try to teach them how to blow their nose, steam up your bathroom with herbs, and hang out there. Barbies makes a baby safe vapor rub you can put on their back. Mommy's bliss is a great medicine helped my baby last year so much when she was sick.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Been there, done that! He's a grown man now, THIS TOO SHALL PASS baby. Hang in there!

[@justiciam.6951]

We really have all been there, single mums are hero's...

Honestly, curling up with coffee on a rainy Saturday morning and watching a long vid of ur garden is such a wonderful thing

[@nikkitahill4767]

You truly have the most contagious smile ever. Beautiful lady inside and out xx

[@brendakirk7250]

seeing people being able to garden so much earlier than I can makes me feel the need to move south even more. People tell me, Oh it’s super hot down south. They don’t understand how much I love the heat and hate the cold. I dread winter all year long.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

Hang in there… I’ve wanted to move south for years and we may be blessed to be able to move in a couple years… hopes and prayers are lovely things that can actually maybe come true ❤️🙏🏼💟☮️❤️

[@melissarussell3944]

Anyone else here watching Jess' old videos while she takes a well deserved break, because you're caught up on all the new ones lol 😊🎉

[@talkandeattv]

nothing like sitting down with my breakfast and enjoying a roots and refuge farm video

[@sabrinabarnes4697]

I'd love to see luffas gourds in one of those free spaces and what you do with them at harvest time and after they've been dried.

[@mariahjuhl702]

I will never un-see Chive blossoms as truffula trees!! 🐘🧡lol Learning so much from you!! LOVE LOVE LOVE looking forward to the garden tours every Saturday! Thank you so much!! Your awesome Jess!!

I'm 1,000... Wow... Rewatching this and making the 1,000th Comment on April 2021 eleven months later!!! Jess, you are the Best and have changed my life along with so many with Realistic Encouragement to become A True Gardener ands to help others to do the same! Becoming World Changers!!!😁 ❤️ 🙌🌱🌿🌷💐

[@paigegough6929]

You need a wash and drying station to help with the harvest so your house doesn't explode with food

[@reluctantlysocialkristinae4491]

Plant small blocks of corn, in the square beds!

[@bintlooda]

reluctantlysocial kristina Espinoza great idea

[@danief2720]

if I bury a chicken, would it grow eggs? IDK I only have tried it with dead ones, do you know if it has to be live?

[@bbyblueyes22]

Suggestion for the empty long beds with cattle panel: Luffa gourd! And maybe in the fall do a processing video once they are dry and you cut them up

[@rebekahnave7792]

I second this! They were my favorite thing to grow last year and the flowers! Beautiful!

[@pennylane3378]

I was going to recommend that as well then I saw your comment 😊 another option that might be fun for the kids are the bird house gourds.

[@bringinglifehome]

I love that you post your garden tours on Saturdays. It gives me needed motivation to work in the garden over the weekend 😊

[@walkbyfaithfamily9177]

I want to buy your farm when you sell! 😆. My husband would never move to Arkansas. 😕 Someone is going to be very blessed by all you have done! ♥️

[@Exiled.New.Yorker]

Do yourself a favor, plant at least ONE old fashioned tea rose, just for the scent.

[@SherryEllesson]

Tea roses are relatively modern, and the tea fragrance is not nearly as intoxicating as "heirloom" Damask cultivars.

[@mareamiller6957]

I love the peace rose.... I know it is a tea hybrid, but still

[@SherryEllesson]

@@mareamiller6957 I agree that it's beautiful, but it's not "old fashioned."

[@gianetta4195]

Roses are amazing. My mama always had a huge rose garden in our yard growing up. Now that she has passed it is mine, and it's such a wonderful thing to look out of my kitchen window and see roses that were planted by her hands.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

You are so blessed to have your mom’s roses, we always moved for my dad’s jobs with the government… and I have sweet memories of her love for roses and plants ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@thegardensanctuary2248]

How about planting medicinal herbs/flowers? Also I'd love to see you all plant fruit trees somewhere on the property.

[@jaclynrichmond1049]

[@roxannepedersen5037]

Plant corn for sure, I love home grown corn😋

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

Oh girl, y'all need to take an overnight trip to Tulsa & visit the Tulsa Rose Garden. They test new varieties there & its a popular wedding venue. You'll see roses you won't see anywhere else. Woodward Park is nearby & y'all would love that too. And for the kiddos, The Gathering Place isn't far either! (Its closed for cv right now)

[@chamelaroo4683]

So I did a thing a couple of days ago, and ordered almost 50 seed packets from baker creek. I can't wait to try some of the varieties I have seen on your channel. Holy basil, Paul Robeson, and blue gold berries to name a few

[@TheBearWayTX]

Jess even if you did a garden walk through everyday of the week and posted. I would still watch for hours. I love your garden and what you are accomplishing. Me and my husband just bought 26 acres and we are planning on following your steps and creating a magical garden like yours, we will record on our youtube channel too, in hopes that someone will watch :)

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

Me too…I watch them over and over…

[@PrettyAliceNight]

I’d love to see you grow birdhouse gourds and make birdhouses from them. That would be a fun activity for the kids too.

[@suerichards1685]

I’m blown away by how much you’ve expanded your growing area! You are going to be incredibly busy processing. You are amazing. 🥰

[@06katydee]

I recently started watching your channel, I got so excited I sent one of your videos to my daughter who also gardens and she said mom this is the blog I’ve been trying to tell you you need to start watching. So we are both big fans! Thank you so much for this garden tour, your smile and disposition just brighten my day. Love all you are doing! 🌿🌷🌺

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

I love that!

The beauty of you guys’ design of the perennial garden is that it’s beautiful even before the plants take off!

You can use the roses for the rose hips - make tea with & get some vit c in the process

[@cheyennet1064]

Love!!! My boyfriend and I are moving into our first home at the end of this month on a 3 acre lot and I am so excited to start landscaping and gardening our space! Thank you for the inspiration and such a peaceful video to enjoy on this rainy Saturday. Subscribed! xx

[@jenniferanderson8050]

Wait.. What? You may be moving?? Did I miss something lol. You have truly inspired me to grow everything I can! I try to watch as much as I can while having my morning coffee. You have been a very big influence in my ever growing garden! Tks Jess ☕

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Yes we’ve always planned on moving at some point: we want a big property not so close to the road

[@weirdheathersgarden]

I tried my first kale seed pods today, didn’t know they were edible until I saw you eating them. The bees have been loving the flowers on them.

[@samwalker3269]

I definitely think you should plant flowers in the square beds, it'll look great. I think a good idea would be to put an arched cattle panel between two of the beds and grow climbing roses over it then you can put a bench under the arch and you'll have an amazing place to sit underneath the beautiful roses and just appreciate your lovely garden.

[@rosiec1974]

JESS.. PLANT THE ROSES.. apart from looking STUNNING .. and SMELLING AMAZING.. if you get aphids you will see them on the roses first. I'm one for having Thornless in the veggie beds and Thorned at the ends.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Oh this is such a good point!

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Really?! That would be excellent because you'd know when to start your Neem Oil regiments. Does that work for the Roses or can you use them to draw Aphids away from other plants?

[@OremusFarm]

@@Ms.Byrd68 Neem oil kills bees tho

[@Fattiapples]

I get aphids on everything all the time :/ hate those suckers

[@joanies6778]

@@OremusFarm Wow. Did not know that. I am planting flowers and clover to attract bees. Guess I won't be buying neem oil, then. What about peppermint oil, or peroxide spray? Will they kill the aphids and leave the bees alone?

[@susangarland6869]

This is you at your best. I love every video you make, but my very favorites are you doing what you're doing here: demonstrating, explaining, teaching, showing stuff. Clearly, teaching is one of your spiritual gifts. 😘

Your videos are so nice and refreshing. Our family has been working on a homestead for a few years. It has had many trials and heartwarming times. We are working at raising more for our family and friends. Plus teaching the kids to have a concept of pride in hard work. I would love to know how to collect some of the seeds from our plants, like tomatoes, squashes, beans without cross pollinating. :)

[@kuma56bear1]

You better grow Edamame! As a Japanese, it’s great for snack or appetizer. Just boil with some salt or you can sauté whole thing with butter and garlic. Great beer snack!

[@jenniferakes8224]

Every year for my husband and my anniversary he buys me a rose bush. I have a gorgeous yard with a different kind of rose for each and every year of our marriage. I highly recommend Don Juan climbing rose if you can find the room for it. It is a beautiful deep red double blossom rose that is an easy keeper and comes back year after year with little care to create a spectacular climbing rose for your amazing garden.

[@lauriesickles5393]

Another nice rose is"Joseph's coat of many colors."

[@ramibu239]

She said bush - but thats what I was thinking, she needed more climbing rose varieties to sprawl against that back fence area. Infact when she showed her coral climbing rose last week, I also thought she should get Joseph's Coat of Many Colors too!😁

[@brandilee520]

My aunt used to have these and people would stop and ask what kind they were.

I have Joseph’s coat. So beautiful!

[@jennifercullison]

As always, I am mesmerized and inspired. My kids and I have been busy creating our whole backyard into one big creative garden. I can’t wait. We finished one of our fencing made from branches. We are using all natural material from our back yard. It’s so fun. That’s how I am getting through this quarantine.

[@cynandizzynorisvlog4385]

Jess have the kids paint red rocks or rocks that look like strawberries 🍓 . Izzy and I did and it really kept the birds and critters away so far. We are on year two.

[@pennylane3378]

Cyn and Izzy Noris I'm going to try that, I have three different types of strawberries am lucky if I get one or two berries total!!!!

[@EncompassingChaos6]

I have added the white metal shelving around my strawberry patch to keep small critters out and then pick up some netting (dollar tree has some for hawaiian decoration) and attach over the shelving to keep birds out.

[@marshagibson5899]

I heard about the painted rocks and had my girls collect and make some this year. First year trying it so it's good to hear that it worked for you!

Plant the roses!!! Plant the roses!!! :-))))) I have 2 Rose plants that I inherited from each of the very, very, very old properties I have lived on here in the back of beyonds in France. They are both a stunning pink colour and their scent is off the charts, it is so extraordinary it literally makes my head swivel when I walk past. This is a great year to go crazy for roses, let's make it the year of the roses instead of the year of the virus !

Jess, if you can find a blue girl rose it’s a bush rose… Actually has blue petals! Gorgeous and so fragrant! It would truly do so lovely in your yard you can literally smell it a mile away. As far as what to plant in your giant vegetable beds how about some hibiscus for tea preservation? I understand that’s a large bed and that’s a lot of hibiscus… But what about turning it into a full out Tea garden or Loofah… God knows you have the cattle panels for it LOL

[@ayesha625]

An idea: you can spiralize kohlrabi into noodles

[@Irishjay-gu5pb]

Those orange roses all over your trellis is my dream!!! Majestic is exactly the right word! I lve rt on the boarder of 5a/5b and for some reason roses don't do too well here...I think it's the bugs. But Jess, NEVER feel bad for wanting to plant beauty all around you!!! Whatever makes you heart sing, let it sing!!! I loved what you said about having a sunflower on every end of the beds. We actually decided to add way more flowers to our farm area, just because it is so much more relaxing and beautiful! And I just read an article yesterday that stated sunflowers actually sweeten up cucumbers when they are planted together! So you never know what can go together I guess! It makes sense that many vining veggies do well with sunflowers, mutual help. ;) Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden...and wow do I wish I had a sweet Maya to help me build a greenhouse/hot tunnel/ awesome movable chicken feeder!!! You two are so adorable, you guys make me think about finding someone too. I am soooo happy that your channel has taken off too!!! You deserve it truly!!! Your so authentic and sweet/funny it's a joy to watch this channel, so thank you for making it for us to watch!!! :)

Yes! All the roses. All of them! I got my David Austin catalog finally, so dangerous.

[@sydneykasmar]

Have ever eaten chive flowers? Cut the flower tops at "first" blossom, break the florets apart and sprinkle over a salad or even better over a baked potato topped with sour cream. These make food look so beautiful.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thanks for the tips!

[@sydneykasmar]

And the flowers taste like chives.

[@cafedunier]

I'd love to see you trellis some passion flowers. Gorgeous blooms and then fruit!

[@Homebrew58]

When we bought our house over 20 years ago the previous owner had grown chives in a little patch next to the house. As her health declined she was unable to care for her plants and they escaped the garden space and invaded the yard. We still have chives growing all over our yard! One of the weird things is that our neighbor has Lilacs growing between their house and ours and when I mow the side lawn I can smell both Lilac and chive together. It's an interesting aroma to say the least.

[@lindaestell6613]

Jess, look into the Double Delight Rose. They have a delicious fragrance. The petals are cream colored with red along the edge of the petals.

[@deloresochoa6235]

Jess, I have planted sunflowers since I was four years old!!! I am now a great grandmama, and just planted 20 sunflowers!!! I usually plant all kinds. Some for food, others for color and cutting for indoor decor. I continue to plant them until August. Never had a problem with them. I do plant climbing nasturtiums at the base once they are five feet tall, it's a beautiful site to see. This year I will plant climbing black eye susans with the climbing nasturtiums. Momma use to plant climbing beans and peas with the sunflowers when they got to be six feet tall. I do plant marigolds with all my garden beds. Some animals and bugs can't stand them. We love the splashes of color all over the gardens. We do mix so many of our plants and never had a problem. So many rules for gardening today, I have no rules in my garden, lol. It has never been work for us, all of it is just pure enjoyment. Love and Blessings from south Texas.

I dont have any experience with pinto beans so i cant tell u about that. However, i have been growing black beans for 4 years now so here r some suggestions to avoid issues. Let the plant completely dry out before pulling it up. Then lay it out flat in the sun for another day or two. Only then can u harvest the beans from inside the pods. Also make sure u plant them in a space that u wont mind seeing dried up plants later on in the season

I think I’ll try that with a few plants this year.

[@roslynwilliams9420]

Will you be growing luffa this year everybody was talking about the luffa sponge last year I even bought some seeds and I'm going to try it for the first time. Also another spinach you could try for the Heat New Zealand spinach

[@TheCoronaleo2]

Roslyn, you will love it. they have the most beautiful blooms. we grew three luffa plants on a 40 ft vertical garden and they produced a ton of huge luffa's. we even had people driving downt he road and stopping to see what we were growing. One was an oriental woman who snagged some of the younger ones because they can be eaten like a cucumber or zucchini when they are about 6 inches or less. I've seen many people boil them down into a soup before they start sponging up (as I call it). one thing I did notice the first year that I grew them was when removing the skins when the skin is green- we had an early cold snap hitting that year and we decided to go ahead and remove the late crop and process what we could. the inside of the green skin feels a lot like aloe vera. a mosquito had bitten me and I had some of the fluid from the inside of luffa on my hand and went to smack the critter, the fluid numbed the itching from the bite. Lots of luck and enjoy those luffas, they make great Christmas gifts also.
