The Best and Worst Summer Garden Heirlooms, and a LOT of Manure | VLOG | Roots and Refuge

[@doinacampean9132]

I so love how you know each and every cultivar...

[@emilysivert2635]

When you were talking about the cat stuck up in the tree it reminded me of a story told at my Paw Paws funeral this past Summer. He was a career firefighter. His friend said people would call all the time about cats stuck up in trees and my Paw Paw would say “Mam, have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree? That cat will come down” 😂

[@sparklesass780]

Arroz con pollo means chicken and rice in Spanish lol I never knew about this pepper until you said it all funny...so cute

[@yurisanchez8397]

I love your videos! I just found you so I’ve been binge watching your content! Very helpful and I wish one day to have a garden like yours. I recently started this gardening journey and I would love if you could make a video on how you grow a plant from seed! I’m more confident in my gardening and want to challenge myself with seeds! Thank you and god bless

[@gimzo159]

I can only hope that next summer I am half the success you have had. You inspire me so much.

[@VagabondAnne]

Your borage cracks me up. We let ours go crazy one year, and now I guess 10% of our soil weight is borage seeds. They are our ground cover/mulch/pollinator default mode. Now we pull it out where we don't want it to grow, and leave it growing wherever there's room. Just till those plants into your soil and you're set for the next 50 years!

[@cathiegalbraith475]

I have been using wood chips in my raised beds for several years. As long as you don’t mix them in with the dirt, you do not have any problem with them leaching nitrogen. They have to stay on the top of the surface, you can’t mix them in like you did with your straw. But I have had very good luck with them in the raised beds and would highly recommend it.

[@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669]

Cathie Galbraith why? We had no choice but to mix in wood chips since we had in ground last year and transferred those soils into raised beds this year.

[@americaneden3090]

@@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669 me too but my chips are decompsed bark and inner wood from trees weve split logs for wood burning. So this particular chipped wood is in an active state of decay. My caution using this is to NOT BREATHE IT IN! Use a dust mask, bandana, or torn strip of an old t-shirt in a double layer to filter the mold spores so u DO NOT BREATHE that in🤗💚

[@emgarden]

@@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669 organic matter will use nitrogen that is in the soil during the decomposition process, which reduces the amount of nitrogen available to the plants until the decomposition process is complete, at which point the nitrogen becomes available again to the plants.

[@lisabooker6405]

Thanks so much for the list hun. That’s awesome. So many times I can’t quite understand what someone says and I hate to bother folks by asking again. Truly appreciate you going to the extra effort. You’re just a doll! God Bless you and yours ~Lisa

[@GraceHomesteadFarm]

A wheelbarrow will help you tremendously when you are doing stuff like this!! It will hold a lot and you can dump it in one swoop. I have 2 and use both of them and LOVE them! It will save you time and your back! We just cleaned our chicken & duck coops out from winter deep litter....yeah I know a tad late but better late then never ;) I have 5 empty 4x4x? raised beds so all of that went straight into the bottom of the beds. (Getting ready for next spring) the wheelbarrows were a HUGE help. I filled one while my nephew dumped the other in the beds. Thank you for overviewing what you grew and liked! I can't do cantaloupe (smell or taste) so I am thankful for your overviews. I found a horse farm that offers horse manure mixed with pine shavings that has been sitting and composting. It is mostly the wood chips and they are aged so I just put straight onto the garden. I have seen a TREMENDOUSLY difference in my plants since adding it. I know you have the horse poo BUT Maybe you can look around for a horse farm that cleans stalls everyday that has the shavings mixed in. I found this place advertising on Craigslist. Free composted horse poo and shavings. I will be doing a video of our next haul. It is 40 miles away and my short truck bed held 7 bucket loads last time. So this time I will also be taking the trailer as well. Definitely worth the $20 in gas!

[@americaneden3090]

I LOVE my 4 wheeled wheel barrow. I want bullet proof wheels on it. Its great in the garden and good control on slippery ice if we have to move wood from one location to another.

[@avonleanne]

I know its very basic stuff, but to me, thank you for showing what you do to the soil...I am so new at this love affair, and need to know these things...i have no source of manure other than at the box stores, but I will look into craigslist for rabbit manure etc...meanwhile, we are still looking for our dream land, so I am using this time to learn as much as I can...your garden really is inspirational. =)

[@cstump2005]

avonleanne We sound very similar! I’m taking the time to learn as much as possible while waiting for everything to fall into place

[@avonleanne]

Crystal, is that a picture of mt. rainier or hood? If so, are you from that area?

[@cstump2005]

avonleanne It’s Mt. Rainier and yes, I grew up in Washington! I live in Minnesota right now but we’re actively trying to get back home ☺️

[@avonleanne]

small world, me too!!! Im from Tacoma, but I cannot say I would like to live there again...We are in VA...big difference really for us both I think...although this summer is so rainy I would think we were back LOL! Do you follow Rain country homestead? she is super information packed just as Jess here is! I wish you all the best =)

[@cstump2005]

avonleanne Oh I definitely want to go back! I’d be ok with Oregon too but I miss the west coast. I’ve watched a couple of Rain Country’s videos but I’ll have to look into them more, thanks for the suggestion! Thank you, I wish you the best, as well!

[@jcox55]

Cant get enough of your videos and i also love your christian sharing. Continue to be true to the faith and may God continue to bless you , your family and Garden.

[@timx9661]

[@rajeshsunchildmadhav9740]

Nice to listen to your garden sounds, sounds like a natural habitat to so many little creatures

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Beautiful to see that huge pile of manure:) Grow Grow Grow

[@julieannaClark]

I actually just went and got a truck bed heaped full of already composted woods chips from my local dump, for freeeeeee. That was such a satisfying feeling. Can't wait to get tilling up more area for my garden tomorrow. The work is tough, but the fulfillment you feel when you see your hard work had resulted in a fruitful garden...I have never been as excited as when I saw my green beans sprout and the first blossoms form on my cherry tomatoes. It's helped relieve my anxiety too.

[@michellekendle4120]

I just had a sample of an Israel melon at a flea market. I have never heard of it but we were blown away by the taste. Much sweeter than cantaloupe and a bit bigger. Very light colored flesh and a very golden skin. Needless to say...we bought one, took it home and quickly scraped out all the seeds to plant for next year. I think your family would love it.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

That sounds amazing!!

[@leorasgarden7486]

I really like your trellis arches. Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing. Nice tats

[@nkiruaukai6967]

I have a tiny porch for growing, looking at all the lovely garden space and just drooling! Thank you so much for keeping my spirit up in winter!

[@moonchildfarm127]

Thanks for the reviews on the varieties, that does help me a lot! To narrow things down! Kajari melons are on our list, check out Israeli melons, they are amazing, haven't grown them but eaten them and love them! They are cream colored inside and taste so wonderful. I'm going to grow them next year for sure. Didn't get seeds until late this year. My dad was a firefighter and he always said never call the fire dept to get a cat out of a tree, how many cat skeletons have you seen in trees? LOL.

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Getting ready my fall garden as we speak and I am so excited!!! Can't wait for this weather to calm down so I can start planting my seedlings outside. The summer was brutal for my produce and a lot of my plants. I already mended my soil and all ready to go! Thanks for sharing yours!

[@corinnaedwards]

Hey Jess. I started my back to eden garden this past year. Our soil is full of rock and clay so I struggled with growing a garden every year. Last fall I got 3 loads of wood chips dropped off. I spread it on the garden and let it sit thru the winter. When I planted in the spring I added some bloodmeal to the holes as I planted. I also fertilized lightly a month later. I have had the best garden that I’ve ever had. Very little weeds and I’ve had to water bvery little. I still had a few problems due to weather and my experimenting. Many lessons learned. I’m waiting on more chips now to expand my garden plus add more to my mini orchard. Best of luck to you. You are a blessing to watch!!

[@TheWicklunds25]

Malakitovaya Shkatulka is also one of my favorites. It is very close to emerald evergreen. You should try that one. Have you tried Speer's Tennessee Green? Also stupendously flavorful.

[@loristraughan2681]

Your videos are inspiring and your faith is uplifting. You are doing as God desires and your family will only be blessed by it. Can you add garden tips in your videos as well - what works / how to grow info too?

Nice vegetables! I wouldn't have guessed there was such a thing as an okra that didn't get woody. Glad to know about that.

[@doubleblessings-royalcrowr1669]

🌞you are a joy to watch. I dont know how you do it and i bet you must be spending hours on editting but your videos are very informative. I have not heard many of the names you use for your varieties but im grateful you share what is doing well for you. I intend to search for that okra for sure. Hope you out the name in. Thanks for being here

[@lbsmith83]

I have been taking notes on the varieties of different veggie you like for me so try next year. My fav paste tomato is Ox Hearts and Amish paste too. Love from NC

I find that the bigger sunflowers use all the available water if it is to close to my vegetables. I discovered that the stalk was full of water when I cut them down. I still plant a lot of them, just not too close to anything that needs a lot of water.

I started watching DUCK and Stacy about a year ago first things I watched was about the elderberry tincture‘s started making them and saved $743 this year from medicine and doctor bills. So after that I started looking around on KZbin videos I have never really watched him before that and I found yours. I watch several different ones of different people but so far Doug and Stacy and yours are my two favorite KZbin channels i’m from Arkansas I live in South Carolina now my niece still lives in Arkansas Conway maybe not far from you she’s a hairstylist add studio 57 or something like that not sure over next to the college and I just enjoy seeing your little farm I live on a farm here and I just thought I would let you know but I really enjoy your station thank you very much for all the work and time you put into it I really enjoy it.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

How incredible!! I live 20 minutes from Conway!!! And thank you for watching and encouraging me ❤️❤️❤️

You should plant some cone flowers, we have a ton in our garden and the bees and butterflies LOVE them!

[@Chantilly871]

We absolutely love our borage flowers in salad...such a nice flavor...its my first year growing them too

[@jennyjarrett1208]

I want you to know that I am so glad that I found you. after watching this video I went online and ordered all four of the wild boar tomato seeds you recommended. I live in Northeast Arkansas in Maynard. I cannot tell you how much you have gave me more courage to get out and do in my little container garden that I have, it makes me look forward to next year making it even bigger. I have went out and planted my fall seeds, which are very limited because my family doesn't really like cabbage, greens such as kale or really even eating lettuce a whole lot. I love dwarf bok choy and I have planted that along with several new Tomatoes seeds, several hot pepper seeds, with a couple of gourds that I have no idea what really are. LOL I planted three different kinds of radishes my father-in-law loves those. Also two kinds of zucchini squash I have not had good luck with yellow straight neck or crooked neck squash I don't know why they come off beautiful plants but the blooms just fall off. Also two different kinds of cucumbers hoping to get some more this fall missed that this summer. my daughter got married in May so I didn't even plan on planting a garden and the second week of June I just started throwing out seeds and thought let's just see what happens so now I have six or seven tomatoes plants, several pepper plants, zucchini, okra coming out my ears, I think every okra seed I planted came up. Oh yes I forgot my fall plants I planted several tomatillos. I can't wait to watch every new video that you put out you are an inspiration from one arkansan to another LOL.

[@dreyno64]

Jess, I ❤️❤️❤️ the garden tours and listening to you think out loud. It’s really helped me approach my garden differently...hopefully, more effectively. Looking forward to Back To Eden advice from you. I’m needing to amend my beds this fall and I have questions: how do you judge the amount of manure to add? And do you have a source for getting dirt/compost hauled in? Is peat a good amendment for my clay soil areas?

[@tonyag4510]

Thanks for sharing your journey! Love the information. We had an unseasonably HOT spring and have had these weeks of much cooler and drier weather than we are used to for the summer.

[@SharonKarkara25]

[@wilmagregory8967]

You and kitten George made a sweet video, thank you. I too won't be growing some tomatoes next year I had this year. I want to try the pineapple ground cherrys. All that bragging about the taste has made me want to try them. Take care, much love and peace, blessings.

[@Ozarka_cola23]

Oh yess! I tried kajari melon for the first time in 2018 and they will be a staple in my summer garden from now on😀

[@gpswatching]

Do you rotate planting areas each year? Not planting tomatoes in the same place, etc.

[@rubytrotter3766]

If you use wood chips as a mulch, they won't leach nitrogen. But if you mix fresh wood chips mixed with soil, they will leach some nitrogen depending upon quantity you mix with soil. One season as mulch will weather them enough that you don't have to worry about using up nitrogen in soil. Or you can use blood meal mixed with them to supply nitrogen.

[@dollyperry3020]

GREAT VIDEO! A a crazy tomato grower...I love this!

[@kalpeshkher3376]

nice work

[@lynnbarnes9882]

I am totally jealous of your garden set up.

[@YolklahomaRocks]

Love your channel! I would like to offer some insight into the back to eden method. We love it. Half if ours is in it's 4th season and the other half was chipped last fall and planted this spring. You will need to fertilize and check the moisture in the soil the year. It takes a few years to get it going really good. Moving the wood chips to direct sow seeds is a pain to some...not to us. You will get weeds and/or grass, but, it pulls out roots and all so easily. If you put compost/organic matter over it after last harvest and water periodically over winter (if you don't get much rain) it will compost the chips faster. Also unless you have a diseased plant you can cut the plants at ground level as to not disturb all the goodness below the soil surface.

[@kntshovary]

Hello! I love your videos. I signed up for chip drop over a year ago and throughout the year they sent out emails to see if I was still interested. I finally got a chip drop about a month ago. It is all fresh chipped trees so it is very green and heavy. You can feel the heat of the pile when you dig into it and the next morning first thing I could see the steam rising from the pile. If you do want to use it for mulch do let it set for a while first. It will also create a lot of chip "dust" which did irritate my lungs, so I do suggest that you wear a mask. But it was cheaper "FREE" than having to buy some fill dirt for the area I needed to raise in my backyard.

[@brianramsey3824]

I've started just hitting like even before I watch your video lol I have faith in u

[@Beecozz7]

May I say do a lot of research before you put wood chips in your beds, on your paths yes, will help retain moisture. Pros and cons. Have you ever watched Morag Gamble, she is awesome. Thanks Jess, great as always!

[@bhharris]

Thank you so much for sharing. I look forward to trying a couple of these in my tiny garden next Spring if that is God's will ✌🏼

[@cstump2005]

“That’s the Arkansas version of that pronunciation” 😂😂😂 The double L in a Spanish word sounds like a Y, so it’s pronounced like “poy-o”. It means chicken ☺️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! It really has helped me a lot and I’m looking forward to trying so many tomatoes next year!

[@evasbackyardgarden6873]

I definitely want to try pineapple ground cherry next year!! I love your videos!

[@KiraiBK]

I really want to try the Kajari melons next year. They sound good from your previous description. I really need to heavily prune back a crab apple tree though. Once that’s done, I’ll have great space for melons to grow.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Thanks, Jess! Glad kitten George is okay. Gosh, I felt for your Mama because I would have been crying, too, in that situation. So glad it had a happy ending. What was the mini tomato that made loads of teeny tiny cherry tomatoes? I think they were red, but they were really small, much smaller than the blueberries? I remember it from an earlier tour and i think you said you really liked it then? P.S. 2 new-to-me flowers that the bees adored were anchusa (alkanet) which has the great advantage of flowering early and has the most vivid blue flowers. If yiu cut it down after the flowers are mostly through, it will flower again late, perfect for your second wave. And, monarda (bee balm) which spreads nicely from seed. The bees just adore it and it flowers later. The bees, and i, also love lavender so that might also be one you can consider. I would love to see the process of growing lavender from seed.

[@BushImports]

I'm in Oklahoma and the last 2 or 3 nights have been really cool here too. We should have at least til the end of this month before it starts getting cooler, it would be nice if it would wait a few more months before it starts getting cold. San Marzano tomatoes are supposed to be a really good paste tomato and the Opalka tomato is as well except it is larger.

[@barbarastephenson6222]

I have also signed up for ChipDrop. Nothing yet but I have actually witnessed trucked going down our road with chips. I think part of the problem is that a lot of tree companies have not signed up or don't know about it.

Arroz con pollo, lol is Spanish it means rice with chicken

[@GrowingaJoyfulLife]

Just a FYI about the back to eden garden method. I LOVE this method, but I f you have Bermuda grass, it thrives in wood chips. We are in Oklahoma and had Bermuda grass take over a 3 foot tall pile of wood chips in 2 months. And since you can’t till the wood chips in it can become a pain. You can try multiple layers of cardboard under the mulch and hope it kills the grass, or make sure you are very diligent about pulling up any grass that pops up in the mulch. We switched to thick layers of hay instead of tree mulch just because if the grass does take it over you can till it in, and hay breaks down and builds soil also.

[@kathleencarragher8194]

Good info, since I have Bermuda grass too. I just started using hay mulch this summer. So far, so good.

[@GrowingaJoyfulLife]

Kathleen Carragher we’ve used hay for a couple of years now with good success, and we have had zero problem with seeds in the hay. I did put tree mulch in my greenhouse and am very diligent to pull out the grass as it come up, even after 5 years the grass still tries to take over the mulch there though.

[@manarmanar7958]

Hi I do like everything you talk about u so good to be true god bless u and ur family. My dream to have farm and animals one day but I think it’s so hard here in mn it’s so hard to keeping gardening in the cold weather after one month from now let me know if u have any idea how? Thx.

[@mikefarmer7653]

awesome vid.......signed up for chip drop too

[@TheWicklunds25]

Please try Opalka for your paste tomato... I'm growing it this year and it is just growing like gangbusters... Supposed to be really tasty.

[@straubdavid9]

Next year I'm going to shorten up my line of tomatoes and put in some of those Kajari Melons on the cattle panels I got this year. I like the idea of doing the 16 ft hoop as opposed to 8' flat panels. Maybe grow the melons on one side, and try some of those darker cherry varieties (blue or black) on the other side. The smaller varieties I'm growing this year are Repunzel/Sugar Rush/ and Golden Rave. Repunzel is new too me this year. If you are looking for a different type of tomato with a very unique taste, try Ugly tomatoes ..... which are in no way "ugly". They kind of remind me of a quince in shape. Take care & best of luck with your Fall garden. Other than my radishes, my garden takes the 3 seasons to just get one "crop" (end of Spring/Summer/beginning of Fall) and that's it. Can't normally take a chance on transplanting seedlings into their final containers until last week in May/1st week in June. Not a lot of wiggle room for me here in central PA. This year it was "safe" earlier, but you can't anticipate that, and by the time you realize that ..... it's too late to jump the gun. Bye for now........

[@sarainsopo9743]

I wonder if your Roma’s get too hot. Ours in Maine are a great size. Ready for sauce!!! Can’t wait to follow your fall garden. Fall gardens up here are a hit or a BIG old miss depending on the temps.

I grew San Marzanos Tomatoes that were a bummer for me. I think mine spent too long crowded in their seedling containers then my soil was possibly off. Kinda disappointed but i do 💚 learning from the failures.

[@yumyum408]

Ive heard the wood chips dont leech ur nitrogen when u just keep adding it to the top layer. It only happens when u mix it in the soil. Dont give up on the Charentais melon its delicious, it taste like carmelized sugar. Also another different melon is "Creme de la creme ", its a hybrid though. It has hints of vanilla. Very unique.

[@TheWicklunds25]

You gotta try the Richmond Green Apple Cucumber... One of the best I've ever had and rivals the lemon cuke. Good producer. Never bitter like the lemon cuke.

Oh George, lol...I too signed up for chip drop but nobody has delivered and I live in a good area for this.. I think some of it has to do with the time of year, at least around here. We just had a huge wave of t-storms with downed trees so maybe! Is the pick up source you found only a local thing?
