Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me!

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

We have the largest population of Vietnamese and Mung folks here in Minneapolis Minnesota. They are all at all the farmer's markets all over this area. Just a few years ago they purchases a good size tract of land near the hiway. They cleared the area and marked out equal plots each with a small shed building. Different families each have a plot and they do their own thing. They have some super old community tractors and equipment. All this trough a common goal vision and community spirit to be successful. For me I really like they are doing such a nice clean job on these plots. The American dream in action. Well bless y'all thank you for being here!!

[@teresaminnick2252]

Blueberry zucchini bread recipe please!

[@tamararobinson2069]

Yes! Please!😃

[@Jeff-rd6hb]

New to your channel(Jess sent me, lol.) That ginger: Put it in better potting soil mixed with seed starting mix for maximum soil/moisture contact with the rhizome and keep it in a warm place where the soil is at least 70-80 degrees. Do this and within a week or two you'll get shoots sprouting off the main root. Once the shoots are 3"-4" tall, pull the rhizome out of the soil & snap the new plants off, transplant them to their own pots & put the original rhizome back in the soil to sprout more shoots. Ginger is a tropical plant, but it will grow almost anywhere. To get new plants from the rhizome you need to keep it tropical, i.e. warm & wet. I've been growing ginger from a store-bought root this year, and for $2 I've got 9 plants so far over a foot tall, and more on the way. Every little nub on the ginger root is a potential new plant, so I'm gonna milk my $2 for all it's worth.

[@09echols]

If you can, get college intern or 3 to help out when you're at Whispering Willow Farm 2.0

[@CreativeAnneliese]

Nate is SUCH a kick! You are both such a sweet couple...I love being a part of your life like this, thank you!

[@melbee1000]

When Nate said I need to go get neutered I couldn’t stop laughing. My husband would say something like that. We have three little boys. Hands and heart are both full;)

[@elenacuthbertson2954]

“Everything is good with Ranch Dressing” 😂😂😂, sounds like my husband 😂😂😂

[@lindayounce4494]

You take should air layers from the blueberries so you have the kind you like so much to move to your new place.

[@mjgbabydragonlet]

The way Nate looks at you, Jill, makes that man look good! So Nate, take the compliment and smile.

[@paigegough6929]

You could put lots of Lima beans in your new garden beds

[@leahfowler4710]

I was getting kind of bummed because Jess’s garden was so far ahead of mine. Thankfully yours is at about the same stage so I feel somehow redeemed 👍🏻

[@nancyfehr2768]

My hubby and I were in love at first sight too! We dated for less than 2 weeks and said our first I love yous. Less than 2 months and were engaged and less than a year and we were married. And now, it will be 12 years in August! 4 babies and lots of moves but I can truly say it's gotten better with each passing day. ❤ when you know you know.

[@melissashostetter1666]

We would like your zucchini and blueberry bread recipe please!♥️

[@Magicflower013]

Looks like your fava beans have black fly. They are super common problem with fava. Black flys love the tender young parts. They spay off with the hose super easy. After the beans set pinch out the tops and there will be no more issues.

[@ortizurbangarden]

I stumble over my words all the time when I’m teacher so I just tell my students “words are hard”.

[@paigegough6929]

You could take suckers off the blueberries patch to have lots in the new farm

[@Sassyirishwoman]

You are my new favorite gardener on KZbin! 😊

[@ajhertzell]

You definitely need to do a 15 interesting facts about Nathan. You did it so it’s only fair that we get to know you both. 🙂 You guys got married 1 month before me and my husband. We got married 9/6 and will be celebrating 7 years this year. I’m so excited to see how you make your new place into your own and see all the things you’re going to do with it!!

[@ingridskitchengarden]

You two are so cute. Nate you crack me up. I love your southern accents.

[@mrjasonjneal]

Hands On Workshops means more toilets.

[@amypage8141]

I am looking forward to green beans & I can’t wait!

[@hmelens]

Jill .. for nitrogen you can buy a 50 lb bag of alfalfa pellets at tractor supply for cheap...

[@nancyzimmer3954]

My cucumbers got munched by I believe a bunny so had to replant and protect it.

[@tonyastadt9866]

Hey Joe and night I just want to thank you for your awesome tour of the garden really inspiring to see your story and everything I feel the same thing with my husband we've been married almost 15 16 years now been together ten married 5-6 years!! And gardening together can make you stronger!!💞💞🌷💜

[@lynettetucker5236]

Hello whispering Willow Farm everything is looking great 👍

[@micheleleone3872]

The Dollar Tree sells mesh waste baskets about 12 inches tall. You can put those on top of you cucumbers with some garden staples. Maybe that will keep those little critters from munching on them.

[@hocuspocus8278]

I keep seeing Christoff from Frozen in your husband's facial expressions. 😁🤣

[@kiwimuma8189]

Great video. Thank you & Bless you from Australia🌸

[@sandrainontario6710]

Famine yesterday feast today! WOULD YOU AND JESS START DOING YOUR GARDEN TOURS ON DIFFERENT DAYS? Missed both of you so much yesterday!

[@SandraCrockett]

That's really nice to see you giving back to the community. It's a good thing. It's a win-win situation. Love your videos.

[@angelatasker8482]

I’m new to your channel. You have such a sweet spirit and are a huge encourager. Glad to have found you!

[@gayleclaytor8210]

Love hearing all birds in background Can’t wait for all the new adventures in your new place ❤️

[@GinaReddin]

Jill! I NEED that blueberry zucchini bread recipe

[@idahohoosier8989]

Love sweet 100s, my favorite. Y'all are the 2nd person mentioning the blueberry tomato so I'll have to try them next year. Blessings

[@journeyoflovelight]

Thank you for saying about the freeze not helping with the bugs. I wondered if that helped. I love seeing your progression, Thank you for sharing.🦋❤

[@419Acres]

We’ve had a rough garden season to, goat leveled it 3 times, then infested with aphids for the first time ever, stayed cooler than usual 🙄 I’m in Deep South Louisiana too

[@tamararobinson2069]

😟 Hang in there!!

[@sheilaimhof7915]

Wow, that's alot of blueberries!!! Yum! That bread sounds amazing!

[@tristinchristenson6349]

Blood meal that green stalk Miss!

[@michelestarkey5564]

I planted lima beans this weekend too and I love them soooo much!! We had my niece and nephew eating lima beans when they first starting eating solid food and they both still love them. My nephew did give his mom at lot of shade because she did not make them as good as Granny:)!!

[@littleacrehomestead8914]

Me and my husband also dated for 3 months ! Now we are going on 7 years and just had our 4th child.

[@sallyboothe911]

Me and my husband dated 4 months, we will be married 40 years next March. It’s a second marriage for both. He had two sons, 2 and 4 at the time and they lived with us. We had another son the year after we married, and then I adopted the older boys. We never know what God has planned for us... so thankful for ALL His Blessings 🙏🏻🥰💕

[@lesliee6721]

My husband and I dated 6 months before getting married. Friends before that for 4 months. 🥰

[@danahoover1216]

I've seen alot of couples. And I have to tell you. I don't think I've ever seen a couple as beautiful as u Two. Whay nice peeps ya ll are. Love your channel and can't wait to grow along with u from pa zone 5b

[@dainasmith519]

I use alot of rabbit poop to boost nitrogen in my soil.

[@charliehoos9773]

God bless your future adventures! Weekly garden tours are important for me to watch what plants look like in every stage of development. I look forward to your videos as my reminder to sit down, eat something healthy and inspire me to do my next garden chore. Thank you 😊

[@brigittemadrid3739]

Matthew and I share a similar story! We dated from March to May, when we got engaged and we got married in the middle of August all in the same year! There's something to be said for true love at first sight!

[@courtneylee2187]

Awweee!!! August 3rd will be my third anniversary with my husband 💕 I never would have known ❤

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Lovely tour guy’s and lovely getting to know you both 🌸🦋🌸

[@ItsmeIvyMichelle]

It’ll be so exciting to see what you’ll do with the new place!

[@Coelumadventures]

Definitely not late to the potatoe game! 🥰 I do usually 3 separate plantings. I am in zone 8a, and the main thing you have to worry about is just how long they take to mature. Then I staggered my plantings to get prolonged harvests. I dont even have my 2nd planting in the ground yet(goes in tomorrow) 😍🥰 Happy growing!

[@stevebutler1835]

Make blueberry jam sounds good and it will store for awhile since you can it

[@tinabloomfield7228]

My husband and I will be married for 30 years this August 3rd!! We share our wedding anniversary ❤️

[@melissashostetter1666]

We have yellowing on our plants,it’s been cold and windy in Southeastern Pennsylvania!

[@mistyhudspeth6815]

I'm in Searcy and doing my first garden in my backyard this year. 🥰 can't wait to see what yall do over at your new property! It's fun watching a local 💕

[@katesterly547]

Loved your tour. I'm really excited for you guys to move to the old roots & Refuge and make it the new Whispering Willows. I'm going to be able to watch you both take your next steps. This is exciting for me! Be well, stay safe, love from Texas.

[@joannejensen4369]

Looking forward to seeing your new journey.

[@Jeff-rd6hb]

Definitely spray the fava beans with neem oil. Been there, done that. First the aphids come, then the ants will follow to herd the aphids & chew up the leaves while they're at it.

[@hollys87]

When we got the last cold snap (southeast Iowa) all my potatoes died back to the ground and they came back with a vengeance. We have been looking for our forever farm for 3 years and have made multiple offers and been shot down every time sonwenare still looking.

[@Bambirita]

Just a side note: You sure favor Sadie Robertson 😎

[@amypage8141]

“That ship done sailed.” ♥️♥️♥️

[@KateSpiller]

Such a lovely tour-love seeing you two interact, and learning more about y’all! I’m having the same problem with my cucumbers...I just covered a couple of them with plastic “cloches” to see if that helps get them more established before another critter gets to them.

[@augustagootee6254]

Your two are too funny.. we are alot alike scattered brained story if my life ♥

[@kaitlynbryantaylor8930]

Oh my gosh yes Nathan!! Homemade ranch only!!

[@zuzauramek9850]

Fermented chives ( mixing with water 1:1) are good for fungus in the garden. You are fermenting chives like nettle.

[@augustagootee6254]

Looking forward to your all transition 😀 am sure it will be great!!! Wish it was closer maybe I can make a road trip

[@whisperjoy1128]

I just love your hearts and your call to serve. Thank you for pouring into all of us and pouring into your own community and NEW community! PS- I absolutely love the idea of future, separate garden tours!! Fantastic idea to really dive into each area and appreciate all you'll have and what you'll change to make it your own.

[@shelleygeary3205]

Check for rolly pollies around the cukes. They're voracious and will eat cukes especially. I lost 12 plants last year. Get some Sluggo Plus organic pellets

[@tamararobinson2069]

Good to know!!!👍🏼💚

[@victoriawilliams3251]

I really feel you about the bugs 🐛 thing. We made our first greenhouse and I have never seen so many different bugs 😒☹️

[@annefitzgerald9706]

Nate is such a good sport! Lovely tour

[@joeclayton7418]

Love getting to know Nathan more; great video! Such an exciting time!!! Blessings!

[@christajennings3828]

Zephyr squash. Zeh-fur.

[@kayrabey1344]

I’m new to your channel and I am glad to watch your transition to the new place.

[@melissasullivan1658]

Ziant Ginnias 4EVER! 😂 Please don’t ever edit stuff like that out. We adore you as you are!

[@melissasullivan1658]

Ps. This truly has been the Year Of The Aphid for me this year. And it’s taken me supreme diligence. I go out at least three times a day and physically remove the aphids that want to take over my tomatoes. The darn things have sacrificial brassicas to munch on AND I grew nasturtiums just for them (which they’re ignoring). I have seen a couple of ladybugs but not enough to make a sizable dent.

[@rainlyte2003]

tough garden spring for our zone. wet, cold .... definitely a time for us to grow as gardeners. I'm about 2 hours west of the boot heel of MO. Did you start the celery from seed? I'd love to do a full bed so I could dehydrate it. Nate, get a job on a riverboat. you'll be gone 21 days like my guy. LOL If you're lucky, she'll have most of the work done when you get off for 21 days. You are a good man and a beautiful couple. We are also an August couple - 37 years this year. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!

[@driftingsoulsisters]

Love a garden tòur

[@Lisatopgoatfarm]

“I need to go get neutered “ 😂😂😂😂

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Nate is full of one liners😂

[@saholio]

Girl - my parents knew each other for two weeks before they got married and almost 40 years later they are still madly in love. Keep it up!

[@paigegough6929]

Put a mason jar on top of your cucumbers to protect them from pests!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I think they would fry

[@JesiDavisBuildingaSimplerLife]

MMMmmmmm Now I know how Im doing my green beans next! Thanks! Im due to do a tour in our garden! Love listening to you guys!! Hey I stumble over words all the time, especially on camera! haha 🤣Great Natural Practice advice for pests!! I have some little black bugs eating the snot out of my Eggplant leaves! I was thinking Id use D.Earth, have you used that and had luck? Hey same re. cherry tomatoes vs large tomatoes. I love y'alls heart! I enjoy watching you and Jess, I get so inspired!

[@kayrabey1344]

Nathan is cute and modest too, lol.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Nate: i know you were joking but you say you try to stay gone as long as you can because if not it's like you are working all day- well how do you think Jill feels? If you don't come home & give her a break, she's working all day & probably throughout the night also! 😉

[@juliepizzolato1911]

Thoroughly enjoyed your dream sharing and learning more about your future goals. Thankyou for all you do from North Idaho zone 6a 💚🌻🌿

[@Mrsyeakley41]

Hey 👋 new here! Thanks for a getting to know you vid, it was great! I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait to see the plans you have for the new place!

[@winterbells1]

My dad accidentally killed all my starts via over fertilization lol he forgot that we put (technically him) fertilizer in the watering can and he was using it to water my plants instead of the hose lol I guess I have to buy some new plants now. I learned a lot from starting from seed for the first time so it wasn't a total waste. My pepper and cherry tomato plant looks like it's rebounding but we'll see.

[@tamararobinson2069]

I really like you guys and your story and videos.💚🤗 Would of been nice though for learning if like at the green stock you could of explain what was bad soil and good soil. What is eating your cucumbers and how to deal with it, and what were those tiny leaf curling black bugs? 😬

[@roberttucek8594]

Be great if you could do workshops or seminars there. I’d love to come to some to learn and see your gardens.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

That is a goal of ours, maybe in a year or so

[@roberttucek8594]

@@WhisperingWillowFarm awesome

[@shaunagustavus1317]

My lettuce has that issue that your fava beans have! I couldn't get close enough to really inspect then I went and looked when I saw this and sure enough it's the same. 😶 My soil is lacking nitrogen too! I just cast some blood meal over all of it.

[@sandrafee5783]

you can propagate the blueberries and take some plants with you

[@tonijurkones9797]

Good Morning 👋💚🦋💜❤️

[@plansmom1]

pastt its time

[@ginnievota6141]

Looking forward to your journey

[@BostonRocks76_Carmen]

Would you please share your Blueberry Zucchini Bread recipe? That sounds scrumptious!! God Bless! Carmen

[@pamelabiven3435]

We were engaged on the 4th of July also! And congratulations on the next phase your life! We’re rooting for you all the way from Maryland 🎉

[@silvertonguedaywalker9116]

Jill you.crack me up.That is Why I upgraded to you lol. Great couple. i make up words but it could be my age. Planted. 2 weeks ago..Cosmos will be next x .Jill have you ever planted CISMOS ?.🌱❤🌱❤🍅

[@elizabethcoker1570]

Don’t feel bad about the cukes! I am 7B Memphis and mine are taking FOREVER to come up with all this cold weather!! Lord help us! Lol!

[@kayrabey1344]

Yay, San Mariano tomatoes!

[@lorenkeathley106]

I don't know what those Critters are either on your plant, but they popped up for the first time ever on my onions this year. I put diatomaceous earth on them, and they haven't budged. 😳 I hope the neem oil works.. I may try that next, because there are more than my fingers could squish!

[@tinabloomfield7228]

Do you guys have someone interested in buying your farm? I don't think you have said. I pray that someone will want to come and steward what you have sown❤️

[@dianaanderson6448]

Nathan is so funny! 😂😂 I wish my husband liked to garden with me. I can't believe you're going to be doing garden tours in your new garden in a few months!

[@debbieselland6591]

What varieties of blueberries do you grow? Congratulations on your new move!!

[@4beefarm265]

Lovely tour. Sharing your goals and dreams makes me want to dream bigger lol Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to see what God has in store for y’all. Praying for y’all. I’m excited to watch y’all grow 💚🌱 I have already implemented so many lesson you have taught me from your channel!

[@theresatyree3090]

Might simply be too early for cucumbers (?)
