I really enjoy watching your vids…I learn so much and love seeing your amazing gardens! You and your family are beautiful.
What a lovely video, thank you for sharing <3
That last look was when you know your kids had a great time, when they get in the car, relax and are out. Fun time for all and what an experience. Thanks for the videos. I enjoyed watching, felt like I was there too.
Very cool i hope I can be there…good for you .
You are a natural, your gift always shows in all your experiences you share! TY
thank you love this
Oh how I wish with all my heart I had known about this event in time to attend!!!
Loved seeing you and Luke from Migardener together! You two are by far my favorites and have helped me the most in terms of your knowledge in my own gardening efforts. Not to mention the passion you both have for what you do!
I want to attend the next one
Love you!
Thanks for interviewing me, Jess… got caught up in putting together our HOA videos and forgot to check this one. Great to meet you finally and thanks for coming to the conference!
I love that you support other channels. I just subscribed to all that I hadn't already.
Mind blown about on center garden. I didn't know that. I will be mindful of that and share. Thank you for sharing!!!
how did i miss this crossover arc love it
Great job interviewing MI Gardener! I love your questions!
Thank you. I dream of living this way… some day.
Hi Jess, I just read your April Do South article. Interesting to read how you were mid travel when it all went down. I get your son's "teenage zeal," as you called it. In May, while walking my dog, I saw my first "2020 Graduate" sign on a neighbor's lawn. That did it. I began sobbing–gasping and my tears pouring down my face, right there. My heart aches for the young people whose lives have been halted. But the good new is: I began my own edible Victory Garden and found you and other gardener/homesteaders. Maybe I'm just ultra focused on getting back to nature and living simply, but I truly think you, and other homesteaders, are inspiring many of us still stuck in cement worlds who dream of living more self reliantly. Seeing those empty store shelves, as you wrote about, was a huge wake-up call.
Before I turned six, my family left our San Francisco Bay Area suburban home to travel the world in a trailer for a few years. My dad scuba dived or we bought food from local farmers; My mom wash our few clothes in the ocean. Life was simple: no technology beyond our car radio, no chain stores, no TV, no bills. Heck, we lived on about $5 a day, some days less than that. So even before this recent crisis, I've craved getting back to more self reliant and quieter living, with far fewer tech gadgets and noise.
Thank you for helping me see it is possible, for teaching me how to do things like grow vegetables and can food, and getting me thinking of a more self reliant future.
I wanna go!
I cant say in words how Thankful to have stumbled across your channel. It's definitely one of my favorites now. Thank you guys so much for being so awesome! One love
This video makes me miss being able to go do things with friends; hoping for HOA in 2021!
This was awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
What a FUN VIDEO!! Getting to see the different homestead’ers during this conference was AWESOME! So glad I found your channel, you are an inspiration! Will be binging on your videos lol! ❤️
So cool, I love MIGardener and your channels!!!
