  1. I'm a new subscriber and love your videos! Love all the hands on learning. My husband and I are beginning our journey to get land. You're encouraging! Keep up the good work!
    My one question is how many garden beds do you have?

  2. I have been searching and searching for some Amish Paste seeds like grow big fruits like yours. I have found a packet labeled amish paste but the fruits are pictured as small 3-4 inch oblong (paste-shaped) tomatoes.. if you could just reply with where you found your seeds, that would be awesome.. Thanks!

  3. 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.

  4. I just watched a vlog called My Creative Space, My studio…..you would love her garden journals and how she organizes her seeds and everything else while reflecting on how God inspires to overcome strife, disappointment and worries.

  5. Hey Jess, of the heirloom tomatoes that I grow most years, yellow pear and purple calabash are never on the list.
    Heart tomatoes that you should try
    Zoe's Big Red
    Albenga Oxheart
    Joe's Pink Oxheart
    Italo
    Wes
    Kellehers Oxheart
    Kiev
    Livingston's Giant Oxheart
