A blank slate again! YAY! Well, yeah, it is kind of sad, but also fun! Cooler, easier to work, everything is really working hard around you getting ready for fall. I love feeling that energy all around.
Thanks for sharing those snake beans! I want to try those. Amazing and weird. Too cool.
Miah, I would have screamed if I saw that spider!
OK, I love your videos and you have an amazing way of explaining how you feel about the seasons.
I am wondering if you have or would be willing to explain your "sleeve". I am sure each one means something special to you and I think you are such a lovely person. The sun burst on your shoulder makes me happy.
I am 53 and got my first tattoo last year, and only to cover a scar, but your emotions and the love you share makes me get into my heart, you make me think and feel my gardening. I know I would love to have a fig leaf somewhere because they are beautiful. And my eggplants this year are gorgeous!! Anyway, if you have explained what your tattoos mean to you in a video, please give me the link.
Love you Sister!! From Washington State

Love your videos so much! 🙂 They have been an immense help (and hope) during my classroom season. I'm wondering if there is a reason you don't use your goat's poop in the compost? I was hoping to be able to do that in my future gardens. Thank you for everything you make and share!!
The ground cover is richardia! We have it all over here too 🙂
Do you ever use your horse poop as an amendment? I have quick access to that so that's what I've been trying to add to my compost, mixed with lots of dry leaves and kitchen scraps.
Last year you were very sad about losing your summer garden you look like your dealing with it very well.
Seasons teach us life lessons. Fall is so hard for me so last year I focused on each moment of beauty and looked for the good. We get a ton of clouds cover in Portland Oregon area so the seasonal depression can be tough. But I found so much beauty last year that I am going to look for it again this year as well.
I think that groundcover might be creeping myrtle or creeping campanula but I wouldn't bet money on it.
Love the "reckless start" comment. I swear that is me to a T in everything. Major idealist, dreamer and IMPULSIVE!! Except mine was a 3rd dog. Never have I ever made a better impulsive decision. :))
My garden is currently overgrowing in tomatoes, tomatillos and pumpkins with no stop in sight. So I'm refusing to acknowledge the coming changes in weather, but also excited to start planning so many changes for next summer's garden… Like double or tripling the garden space, building more raised boxes, obtain more soaker hoses and let myself talk me into getting one of every fruit and vegetable next year. I was pretty conservative this year, and wish I had done a few more veggies, but I wouldn't have had space anyways… Alas…
Also, if you do not already, can i just say GROW TOMATILLOS!!!!!!! They grow like a weed, I've harvested at least 100 and there's at least 200 still waiting to mature. I've already made a bucket of Salsa verde, passed on so many to family and now I'm searching for new recipes. It's a good problem to have.
Love the flowers
Season changes are always bittersweet. The end also means new beginnings. I am busy with Spring seedlings in our Southern Hemisphere, probably a bit late, but the more I garden, the easier it is for me when things do not quite work out
Beautiful sentiment on seasons changing.
You have a beautiful family, be proud
That's one of the scariest looking spiders I've ever seen. Certainly the scariest outside a documentary of scary spiders. I feel ya, Miah!
Thank you for these cattle panel trellis videos, Jess. I think they'll be perfect for me. Hope I can find them in my area (southern NJ), which is not longer rural ☹️. There are a couple of Tractor Supply Stores further south of me. I'll be checking with them first. I imagine they're a good deal more expensive than they are in your area, but hope springs eternal. Thanks again.
I hate spiders and the ones you have are my worst spider fear. They look so evil. Yuck!
Hey Jesse, it is a bittersweet time for me as well. However the crops that you grow in the Fall garden are foods that have the nutrition that you need to keep you healthy during the winter months. Tomatoes are mostly water which is great for the summer months. You should also try Parsnips and Celeriac as well as schorzonera. Great root crops that go along with all that you are planting. We have those large garden spiders here in humboldt county too. If you are gentle, you can pick them up without getting bitten. They do kill a lot of pests. I do add fishbone meal and Azomite in the top 4 inches of my fall garden beds. I have also found that healthy plants are not affected by insects, and the weeds that are outside of my beds are the ones that get the heavy infestations of insects.
Do you ever wear gardening gloves?
