For all your large amounts of cherry tomatoes, eggs in purgatory is such a good breakfast!
I saw you posted this and was so excited but wanted to wait until I had a chunk of time to really enjoy it, and I'm glad I did! I could watch 10 more of these seed videos haha
Does anyone have experience with seeds from Seedsn'Such? They are located in South Carolina I think. Thanks.
I never comment, but have been watching R&R for years and loved hearing comments about labor practices/ ethical practices! In past vidoes, Jessica has commented something like, " I believe gardening can change the world." I would love to hear more about this vision and thought process (beyond just teaching/ the future of R&R). I know that I have struggled with my desire to large scale garden/ homestead with the reality of the privilege of being able to "drop out" of society and lack of helping other people/ making my community a better place.
Seed talks are my favoriteeee!!!!!
I really can't wait to see you build this new garden from scratched
That's good to know about GMO seeds as a home gardener it not being anything to worry about. Your such a natural teacher always love your videos
A few years ago, family member just about fell over when she asked what we spend on seeds every year – $200 – $250 CAD per year. When I explained exactly What we will get from those seeds, she almost fell over again! One package of 25 tomato seeds nets 25 plants. Each plant nets many lbs of tomatoes and many harvests. That package of seeds is equal to the same cost of just One Bag of tomatoes from the grocery store and have actual taste. She looked at me with very wide eyes when I then shared that these seeds represent All of the veggies we will be eating for the next whole, entire year. We don't buy potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, lettuce, celery, etc – ever. Everything is put in cold storage, or canned up, dehydrated or frozen. She is now gardening for her family and very excited to be doing it. <3 <3 <3
We just started gardening and canning this year. And oh boy is it a lot to learn.
God bless you. I did not know that you could buy seeds with EBT. Thank you for this info.
I have those over-alls!! Love the look but not so much for gardening…lol
I learned that mice will eat almost any seed (they got into my greenhouse last year, lost years worth of seeds).. Learned the hard way to now keep my seeds in an old cooler.
I see your "chicken seeds" on the counter behind you. Would love to grow chickens some day! Hugs.
Jess,
Do you still have any arroz con pollo pepper seeds? I haven’t been able to find them ever since you talked about them years ago. I was wondering if you knew where to find them or if I could possibly purchase some from you. Love your channel and love your seed videos!
So glad you are in my growing zone now!

I really dig the classroom style videos.
I have to save this for my morning coffee!! Thank you for this!
A cup of tea check, notepad check. Lets go 😀 love you
Hey Jess you are SO INCREDIBLY helpful to this new modern urban homesteader do you have videos on what to pair in raised beds ?
Also can you do a video on like tomatoes- here’s what I grow and why (these for pasta sauce these for dehydration etc) we are in similar zones and I’d love to know what your growing
Also videos of those veggies you’ve never seen at a store that you personally have loved and would recommend trying (a new by id love to know which are easer than others too)
You are so informative. Thank you for your knowledge of gardening. You help so many of us. Especially someone like me(Semi-new-still learning gardener).
Menards …..seeds 4/$1.00…..seed company from New York. I grew some last year and they were great!
Colleges could also be a good place to get seeds!
Hearing Jess talk about tomatoes as the default crop kills me every time. I'm zone 9b and I can't get a ripe tomato before November to save my life. The bugs get them in the spring and the heat (and still bugs) gets them in the summer. I have 1/20 of an acre that actually gets sun and started the year with 12 tomato plants (roma, sweet 100, creole and floridade). I didn't get a single fruit before hurricane Ida took out all but a single floridade which didn't manage to recover enough to produce fruit until December. For all my work I ended up with 4 pints of salsa and a few assorted tomato sandwiches. C'est la vie de jardin.
