Nice, till it rains and sticks to ur boots………..
Ty Jessica so much encouragement. God Bless
I thank you for this video &I can say I used to say I had a brown thumb. I started garden a couple of years ago. I had many fails but now I’ve grown tomatoes & peppers. Still have fails but didn’t give up..
You know what Jess, I agree with you. You do have the best dog in the world! Bear is a sweetie!!!
My Dad who could grow so many things, would always tell me. Just do it. It's an experiment.
Jess, thank you for the pep talk…I’m a student and my little suburbia garden is my sanctuary in my study breaks. As the semester is coming to an end and it looks like I’m failing one class after I’ve given it my all, your talk about it being ok to fail somehow hit the spot in that regard. I will brush off and continue on. Hopefully my plants will do better this year. So far they look pretty good. You gain some, you lose some…. 🙂 Love your VLOG!
Love your content so much! I've been following your channel for a few years now & it has become a stable form of entertainment. So grateful for you and your beautiful family. So grate for all the knowledge you & your family shares. Can't say enough have much we enjoy your content!
I love Bear! He is so cute and such a loyal companion. Dogs are the best!
Yeah I have left hair and have dogs and the deer don't care about either of those (or urine or anything else) in the garden — they come in and eat. I live in a forest but on a deer trail. Heck – they aren't even afraid of us or the dogs. Only thing that has worked is a fence (they jumped 10 ft fence so I now have a privacy fence that stops their line of sight, and a double fence on one side) 🙂 But yes we have a furminator and double coated dog and it's good!
Those kind of combs pull the hair out at the root. If you wouldn't use it on your head don't use it on them. That's why he gets over it and doesn't want you to brush him any more.
I have a German Shepherd I’ve been thinking about getting one of those.
I’ve started gardening myself and have 8 laying hens and I’ve had the same thoughts about what we have left to “the professionals” do it. I believe it’s all part of THE GREAT AWAKING!
NEVER put hair in your garden if you wash it with chemicals or dye it!!!! Not good for animals!
Thanks, Jess❣
I love you guys. So down to earth and from all the comments Ive made I learn & share so much
Good idea. I clean my hair brushes outside & your the only one I know of that knows of the birds & hair & NOPE doesnt work on my deer. I keep pukes of acorns from our tons of oaks out back for the deer & occasionally I pick up the old apples at the market & put them in the acorn. Its like the deer know if they leave my garden be l'll give them a treat!!
Last comment. I PROMISE I have a HUGE gatden & theres only 2 of us. I alwaus tell new people who Im teaching gardening to is "There are NO MISTAKES in gardening its a lesson learned" best way to learn is making a mistake
I just have to say , you are one special Woman! Deer ate my tomato plants! In the night, I’m going to try the dog hair garden trick! Thanks!
I loved your comment that gardening is not a "pass or fail" endeavor. I needed that reminder. Perfectionists see everything through that lens. Gardening brings me happiness, and I can't let fear of failure ruin it for me. Thanks!
Furminator is a total game changer!!
God doesn't give you anymore then you can handle. Thank you for being so transparent!!
Thank you. Freedom to fail – is such a great way to grow, and it is NOT a part of our culture. You're right. BTW, I think that investing in a garden is relatively cheap therapy. During the BIG shutdown, our newly enlarged garden kept us busy and active outside. We couldn't go to the YMCA, but we had to check the watering and the weeds. We started late in a neighboring state, so not everything was a "success," but we all had fun. We loved picking salad outside. Fresh rosemary lasted until the two week sub-zero freeze. Parsley- that we share with caterpillars – survived! It teases us to go outside in the sun, when we might be tempted to go online, or curl up with a book. Gardening is SO MUCH more fun than cleaning house. We can hardly wait to see how things go this year, and are working on our "expansion gardens." Bless you. Keep up the everyday inspiration.
Jess you an amazing blessing in my life. You continue to pull me along.. I am so involved with the journey of what is to come. I am also following Jill…. come on.. this is just crazy. The interaction and community that is becoming is amazing. I am getting on this band wagon. I just purchased an acre on the golf course to farm. It is a very unique situation. I have had so many losses already this season with the weather, just getting started and limited space but, Our Motto here is…. "It is what it is" so we move on, take notes and are already planning for next year. Thank you for everything you are doing. God Bless your new journey. It seems we are all on one. <3
MY DAD USED MOM'S OLD PANTYHOSE FILLED WITH HAIR TIED TO THE TREES TO DETER THE DEER! (He also used to 'tinkle' around the base for extra points?!?)
Jess, you have a lovely family “Happy Mother’s Day” beautiful ❤️ I would love to meet you one day. Would love to be your neighbor !
How lucky am I to have stumbled onto this tip of yours!! Getting a long haired dog in my future will now be a benefit to the garden and I know what tool to get! Love all your content!
Thank you!!
The hoop brush is good too
FAIL FORWARD!!! That would be a great T Shirt
The hair is a good trick yes, but after talking with several vets. If you use the flea/tick meds that you apply topically and it gets absorbed through the hair follicles. You can't put that hair around the garden as it now has the pesticide on there and they're putting that in their nests, making it unsafe for them. I haven't really done my own research, but I just wanted to head a warning since you're doing organic gardening.
