Those berries are black raspberries. They are my favorite to grow and eat. Love your heart, tenderness and kindness- also, and how your love for God and family seems to be one of the foundations for your channel- it’s so refreshing and my favorite garden channel.

[@laurajeffcoat4731]

Jess tell Nate he did a wonderful job filming. I just love when he jumps in and helps you with whatever you are doing. I remember when my husband could help out with everything I was doing in our yard. He has emphysema and a raised diaphragm and on 6 liters of oxygen. I really miss those days. It's just so special when you have a little help doing the things you love together. Can't wait to see how beautiful everything grows in. Beth definitely gave you a wonderful surprise. I absolutely love when your viewers reach out and send you something special for your gorgeous garden. Wish I could still work like you in my yard . I just have to do everything a little slower now. Thank you again for sharing everything that you do with all of us. You absolutely make our days and life so much better with sharing yours and Nate's hard work on your property. Much love from SC, see you in your next movie 🤗💓💕💞

Your planters look great. My geraniums are drowning too, the rain has been crazy. That’s amazing that the greenhouse gives such deals. Still not happening here in NB Canada. For some reason they’d sooner throw them out then give customers a deal. Last year they over ordered and again threw out more then they sold. So heartbreaking to see that happen. Small town woes I guess.

Black Raspberries....they make a wonderful Jam, also, if you like fruit Liquor....they also make a heavenly Liqueur. If you're interested how, lmn. You n have to tell so where you buy your flowers $30.00 is outrageously cheap for all that...it would cost more than double here in Minnesota. I think I may need to make a flower run to Michigan!!!!

[@PK-bh1ww]

Looks great. You had a busy hard working few days getting it all done. But it is well worth it. And you can save zinnia seeds for next yr.. 😊 Seeing those black raspberries brought back memories. When I was growing up (in a heavy wooded area near a lake) there were berries along the road entering the area. It was Summer tradition to pick them. We ate them with milk & sugar or on ice cream. And my gramma(who lived beside us) made jelly. I still look for them on country cruises. (the country have sprayed the ones by that old road. grrr) But they are hard to find.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Yes!! Same. So many memories with those berries! 🎉

[@ianmethven1414]

If it's going to be a cutting garden long term. have you considered growing Sweet Peas [Lathyrus] on the trellis? You can grow annual or perennial varieties, or a mixture of both. I don't know enough about the Michigan climate, but, In most of the U.K. the perennial variety is fully hardy and the annual variety with its large variety of colours [ sown in March and planted out in May after being hardened off] will bloom most of the summer [if we get one!] if picked regularly. It's my wife's favourite cutflower and it makes the house smell very fragrant!

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Oh! well I didn’t know there are perennial varieties! I’ll totally look that up. Thank you so much! ❤

Your cut flowers should be beautiful but could you put some netting around the edge of the beds to keep the wildlife out? I'm scared for your zinnias.

[@jesthesinginggardener]

I could but I like it open! I’m hoping that the bunny won’t be in next year. This is the first year they have been bad but maybe I’ll change my mind lol 😂

[@nancymaier4289]

How do you water everything? Do you have drip in your gardens? The new annual garden is lovely!

[@jesthesinginggardener]

Thanks! I water everything in when I planted it. And then I just let it go and let nature do its thing. We do have underground sprinkling for our grass and some of my gardens get hit by that so that helps.

[@sherrymclaggan9097]
