I love seeing how your carefully planned orchard is thriving. All yours and Brooke’s hard work is coming to fruition. It’s a joy to watch. 🤗🙏🏽💓

[@debrabeard1830]

I remember earing an unripe persimmon, it was like I had a mouth full of cotton, and I haven't eaten one since!!

[@CynthiaBerry713]

No pun intended, eh? Heheheh.

[@pattywilson9550]

I could not have said how I feel any better. Thank you for posting.

[@lillianperry6451]

I found it very interesting. I have a crabapple tree that was smothered by a lilacbush that died my brother pulled it out with his truck. I noticed the poor little tree and in the spring it burst into bloom. I never knew you could make jelly from them always thought they were to tart to eat.

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

The orchard has grown so much. It is beautiful.

[@oceanhome039]

Your orchard demonstrates the care, research and hard work that you put into its development. I love any success story , but this one is heartwarming. Thank you for your thoughtful videos. I look forward to and enjoy everyone. 🇨🇦💕

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

Your fruit orchard is doing very well despite the set backs. I love how it is thriving! And figs seem to be very resilient! 💖💖💖

[@kimberleawilson3545]

Jason, you make growing seem easy. You are a humble man, you and Brooke have put in a lot of work to get it to this point! There isn’t a single doubt in my mind, you will continue to be very successful. You guys do your research and are great stewards to the preservation of the indigenous fruits to the area. ❤ That freeze dryer is going to be very busy for years to come!

[@benjaminspencer6507]

I love seeing the orchard!! I'm 70 years old and I remember at about 11 or 12 eating peaches at my grandparents home and throwing the "stones" over the hill behind their house. Today, there are 4 or 5 peach trees that are "wild" and still produce peaches. How about a couple banana trees, just for fun!!!

[@renebates8090]

I love to hear you talk about gardening. I grew up on a farm that had a fruit orchard. It had, pear trees, apple, cherry. We had tons of black raspberries, in the summer us kids had a blast in that orchard. We also, in the yard, we had a mulberry tree. I didn't care for them, way to sweet. My dad complained all the time about that tree because the birds would eat the mulberry then make a purple mess on his truck....😅😅 I live in Michigan 😊❤

[@marshabevis3768]

My grandparents owned half a city block and I would say 3/4 of that was garden and fruit orchard. My grandpa grew apples, pears, plums, cherries, blackberries, grapes, and more. In the garden, he grew peanuts, strawberries, okra, corn, beans, peas, and so much more that I can't remember. Us cousins would get together, steal the dog's food dish, rinse it out, and go picking. We would get caught and told we were going to be sick if we ate it all. I never remember getting sick from eating all that. It was so good and still warm from the sun.

[@poorthing]

​@@marshabevis3768 sounds like great childhood memories, kids that have had a 'country-ish' kind of Summer had the best!

[@poorthing]

Indiana here, oh yes.. The Midwest has great farm/orchards. Like many of us commenting, Jason sure helps us remember great childhood memories of country Summers.

[@julieh9010]

Thank you for your awesome youtube channels. I watch both of them every morning with my 81 year father. He has dementia. He enjoys watching your channel and sometimes comments on all the animals. We also enjoy your Saturday morning kids channel. It makes my 80s kid heart happy. Brings back great memories of Saturday morning cartoons. I told my husband your channel is right up there with Sesame Street and Mr Rogers. It is great for children and all ages. We are big fans in our house. Thank you for sharing about your farm life. It is truly a blessing.

[@angiebrewer9960]

Not just a planned orchard, your entire farm is beautifully planned!!

[@fallbrkgrl]

I'm not a bug person. In fact, I've been afraid of most bugs my entire life, but I love praying mantis. They are absolutely fascinating to watch. Love to see them turn those little heads towards you, as if they are saying hello. Haven't ever encouraged one to climb on me yet, but I will. The orchard looks beautiful Jason. A lot of hard work has gone into it, and it's definitely something to be proud of. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎🐕🦍

[@cynthiamulholland2976]

I had a praying mantis as a pet for several years!!! I found it in my roses & it came & set on my shoulder!!! Eventually it came into my house!!! It would sit on my shoulder & watch TV in the evenings!!! Many took care of the flies in my house!!! I fed him lettuce & grasses & he was a joy to watch!!! After about 4 years I got up one morning & his aquarium was empty!!! I don't know what happened & I never did find him!!! I think he knew it was time to go & slipped out the door & I just didn't notice!!! I searched every plant, shelf & room in my house!!! He was a good friend & loved it when I talked to him!!! Praying Mantis usually don't live very long so I'm thankful for the time he was around & chose me to be his friend!!! Don't ever be afraid of them!!! They are harmless I assure you!!! 😀😀😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@fallbrkgrl]

@@cynthiamulholland2976 What a cool story! Thank you for sharing your experience with your friend. They are one of my favorite things to photograph. I moved a year ago, and unfortunately haven't had found any in my new yard.

I love the praying mantises. They are sp cool with their big eyes and triangular head. They're so helpful in the garden, too.

[@KathyM-uu5yx]

Jason I love your videos. You explain everything in detail. If I were younger and in better health I would try you method of gardening. God has blessed you and your family for all your hard work

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Your orchard is becoming so beautiful and it looks like it will be so productive. You started it right and it is wonderful! Nice job, Jason & Brooke. You two are a wonderful team. You do your research, you make good decisions, and you learn from your mistakes. You always have a good attitude about everything. With that being said, you are human and we all have our negatives, but I love that you keep your channel so upbeat and positive. And I love your kids channel too. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode! Keeping you guys in my prayers. Love ya!

[@angelraburn4401]

Same. I think they told us that so that we wouldn’t take them all from the neighborhood 😂. We did throw them at each other from time to time. Boy they hurt !!

The orchard looked amazing, and I always wished I was there while you were picking the blackberries. God's blessing on Cog Hill Farm!

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

I remember as a kid, eating a persimmon before it was ripe. It felt like my mouth was wearing a fur coat!

[@patevans3709]

My grandparents raised persimmons when my mother was growing up in Oklahoma. She said they had to wait until after the first heavy frost to pick them--otherwise they were still green.

[@annpachini2155]

When I was little, about 6, my brother gave me what he said was a green apple. Nope it was a persimmon. I bit into that and my mouth felt like it turned inside out. It was horrible. He got fussed at pretty good from my parents and I never accepted any good from him that I wasn’t sure of what it was.

[@bethpotts-mee8730]

Truth be told Jason, anything that survived this year's weather is a minor miracle. You have excellent mentors & never cut corners, your orchard will thrive. My elderly Aunt & Uncle had a bunching Concord type grape that had the same capsule & seeds although smaller. They had a long multi wire clothesline for them to grow. I got good at target spitting the seeds I must say. The flavor was divine. All of this hard work will pay dividends ..weather permitting❣Blessings for Gentle Rain💙

[@robinbeals1799]

Wow! I had no idea. This is the 1st video I have seen of your orchard. It is amazing. Your land serves a purpose for everything. I am so happy to see the 3 of you live and thrive off of all the hard work you have put into this wonderful adventure. ❤

[@cathy_p637]

Every time I see you update a video on the fruit orchard I learn something new. I really love the idea that the fruit doesn't go to waste with you being able to freeze dry it and sell it at the farm stand. Good video.

[@joannbates6189]

My grandfather had a small fruit orchard. He would graft different types of fruit branches onto one tree. He had one pear tree with 5 different types of pears. He did the same with plums and apples. His orchard had this long soft grass under the trees. He called orchard grass. When I looked it up it looked like a type of grass called fescue. Loved his orchard.

Oh how amazing is your orchard Jason…it has come on so much…it’s sad you lost some to the freeze but the others are making up for your losses…well done Jason& Brooke …

[@phyllislowry6265]

It was good to see the fruit orchard. I was so sad when you lost some of the bushes & trees from that frost. I don't remember ever eating muscadines, but my Southern granny born in 1889 told me she used to make muscadine wine! There's a challenge for you, making muscadine wine! I am happy to see the fruit orchard looking so good. I love blackberries, raspberries & strawberries. My Ukrainian grandmother in Canada, grew raspberries by the bushel. I would stand at her bushes as a kid & eat until I would almost be sick. Ukrainians serve fresh raspberries & cream as dessert all of the time, which is my favorite.

[@joseechartrand]

Jason, together with Brooke and MarieCarl are soooo passionate and amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@crystalnobody4689]

You can make blackberry tea in the spring from the leaves. Just trim the fresh leaves from the bush just before it flowers and bears fruit. You can do the same with raspberries. I have raspberries I do that with but I don't mind a little bit of bitterness so in fall after my raspberries are done flowering and fruiting I cut out the stragglers that spread out of the bed and make tea out of all the leaves. It is yummy and even more yummy if you use freeze dried and then dehydrated to get rid of stickiness on freeze dried berries and add to the tea it makes it even better. It is great without the berries but it is over the moon with them. You want about 3 parts or more leave and 1 part or less berries.

[@jills5939]

Love how you talk directly to each of us like it's one-to-one. 🕊

[@ede-jomadden8182]

What a lovely walk through your orchard! I've learned a lot about growing fruit from you ('ooohoodles' means lots) , Jason, and I really appreciate the patient way you've gone over the thinking and planning you've used to establish your plants -- and then shared with us.

[@Jo-AnnBurch]

Growing trees and plants in this fashion is called espaliering. It does make for easy care and harvest. I do it in my garden.

[@elviraobregon5225]

Jason, I love figs and am glad the figs survived. I hope you have an over abundance of figs. This year every time I ordered figs from my grocery store they were out😢😢. I didn’t mind the outrageous price I was so desperately wanted them, I finally gave up.

[@prettypinklady69]

Seeing the figs brought back such memories for me. I grew up on a small, 10-acre farm in rural SC. We had 1 huge fig tree beside our house that would fill a room and you could pick figs off the top off the tree from a 2nd floor window. Crazy, right? I don't know what kind of fig it was, but it grew so big that my dad would cut it completely back about every 7 years. But my fondest memory is of my dog, Tasha, picking ripe figs for herself from the bottom branches. She was a German Shepherd so she could reach pretty high. My mama used to complain that Tasha picked all her figs lol. My mama was short, so she'd have to get a ladder to pick them.

[@briankeithfisher7305]

I have lived in Korea for the past 16 years and absolutely love eating Asian pears because of their huge size, texture, and juiciness - out of this world! Jason, you will gratefully thank yourself for growing them. Persimmon trees are popular here too but the pears are my favorite!

[@garymixson687]

I grew up hanging in a tree eating wild muskadine grapes here in North Central FL. Between those and loquat plums...aka.. Japanese plums, I had plenty to snack on.😊

Love the praying mantis! Whenever I see one, I always think it is a good omen. 😃 The orchard is looking beautiful! I love fig trees. I used to live in a house with 2 fig trees in the backyard. Lots of figs on the trees every year. We also would get raccoons in the fig trees. They would come at night and we could hear them in the trees. We'd go outside with a flashlight and we'd see bright pairs of eyes staring back at us. It always amused us. There were enough figs for us and the raccoons. Your farm is a little slice of heaven!

[@dianeh5044]

I couldn’t be more excited and happy for you. Your hard work and knowledge made your orchard awesome. Fingers crossed for better weather conditions in the future. The fig trees we have in the north get wrapped and covered in the cold months but NY weather is so different from yours. The good Lord willing I hope to see when everything is mature and full of fruit and berries.💕
