Alaskan Homesteading! First Harvest and Sourdough Bread and Cows Pen! All the things! 

Sounds like spider mites in your green house. We had the same. Order lady bugs….they eat the mites.

Slug remedy…if Aaron will let you! Pour beer in a pie tin, place one in each greenhouse and in the garden where it’s more moist! They love beer and will pick it first over vegetables! Beautiful garden, mine is also growing like crazy!

What a beautiful well-designed garden. Your whole homestead is simply beautiful.

Isn't it incredible how all the flowers and plants can give you so much joy?

You've come so far in just a few years. Thank you for taking us along ❤

Wow between last year and this year your property has blossomed. The garden and the flowers are beautiful?? You have done so much. You and your family are hard workers.

If you drink coffee put left over coffee and the grounds on your Hydrangeas everyday, They also will take 2 or more years befor they look good.Everything looks wonderful

You can start garlic this fall with your garlic. I break apart the bulb, put pea rock in a cake pan. Add water to the top of pebbles, take each clove and put root down in water. It will grow roots to plant. About the 19th year of regrowing my own. Love purple garlic the best!

Your labor has been successful, what a beautiful garden !!! Praying for a bountiful harvest ❤

Hi sweet one! You have done an incredible job with your gardens! You really learned a lot from your growing experience. I hope you get a bumper crop of everything...lol! WOW... that sourdough looks amazing!! Big hugs and many blessings, my tired friend...lol!

Hydrangeas are acid lovers so be careful what you fertilize with choose something that is acid-based versus alkaline and your garden looks beautiful and your flowers are bright and bold and lovely you've done a wonderful job this year congrats ladybug!❤

The summer garden season is your source of joy, for sure and certain!! Your smile and soft demeanor are a part of your beauty. They make for a captivating video. Loved seeing Peaches and the flock of ladies. Hope you find a slug repellent soon. Until we visit again, save me a plate of that scrumptious looking salad!! ❤ Momma G.

I always look forward to your watching your videos. You and Aaron do an amazing job. Such a beautiful garden!

Your garden is amazing! So organized and well kept. Excellent job for your 3rd year of gardening.

Thank you so much for your videos into your life. I will never be a homesteader-I’m retired and live in the suburbs, but the insight you provide us is so interesting. I always look forward to your videos. You are such an inspiration to women by your incredible hard work, your love of your family and neighbors, and your can do anything attitude.

The garden is beautiful ..make chipotle rhubarb bbq sauce to water bath Jessica. I have done quite a bit..yumm Becky@acrehomestead has a video on it she adapted a ball canning recipe..love it. Daily.. for each plant pick any bugs ànd smash eggs put bugs in soapy vinager water not soapy water on plant. Bugs happen each year its different but the only way to get rid of them is be diligent daily n pick them off. Some people use tape around your hand to get eggs off leaves. My pests here are under ground eggs so I pick them ad they come out onto plants ans at harvest If I seeb larva in the soil I toss in soapy water

Hi Jessica, your garden is looking lovely.....Hydrangeas should not be dead headed until next years new growth has started.. So next spring is when you should do it..hope this helps you

The garden and green houses are absolutely beautiful.Love the flowers and remember you first planting the strawberry bed. Look how far you've come in three years. Fantastic!!!

Your garden is doing beautifully this year ! Turnips and beetroot like to have their roots crowded , I plant mine in groups of 5 or 6 , they will just shove each other out of the way when they need space , you can harvest the best from each bunch as you need them and the rest will just keep growing 😊 i never thin them out , love the long video , the bread looked amazing! more of those would be great 😊

It makes my heart so happy that the salad spinner is coming in handy for you this gardening season!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘

Your garden is beautiful , the rhubarb and flowers are so pretty. Happy and healthy homestead . I cut my hydrangea blooms and put in a vase to dry and they are just beautiful , the plant is very forgiving I think they will come back for you . They might be getting too much sun . I saw a spider on your peppers I love tomatillos! Your bread looks delicious 🤤 Great video 🌻🐮🌻

The garden is looking fantastic girl. You should be very proud after all the work you have put into it.

Garden Answer on RU-vid is my most favorite channel. She is wonderful and she just talked about releasing predator mites in her garden. And she also shows where they released bugs with drones. She is my first video I watch every morning lol.

I watch Chelsea from Little Mountain Ranch. She is based in British Columbia Canada and she has a high tunnel that she grows her tomatoes and peppers in. maybe get a hold of her and she might be able to help you

You are becoming an amazing gardener, and that sour dough bread looks absolutely delicious! 💜

Peaches has gotten SO BIG!!

Just a idea for you, in a pinch, that worked for me 2 years ago. Our shade cloth ripped and was unusable, but we really needed it. I took a old white sheet and hung it up in a way that the garden only got direct sun in the morning or in the evening depending on what side of the sheet it was on. This worked out great! The plants were established and really didn't want or need that much hot sun anymore. Looked a bit funny hanging there but I wasn't posing for a photo and just wanted the food it protected.

I love your headband so bright and colorful.❤ thank you for another long, wonderful video!!

Your garden looks beautiful

Plants are beautiful. And your veg garden is so neatly done, beautiful also.❤

Buy some ladybugs for your greenhouse next year. 😊

I suggest putting a ring of those heavy rocks around that vent post, to avoid accidentally running into it. "An ounce of prevention..."

Great tour! You did amazing 👏 I agree with all. Beer for slugs. Peaches is sassy, lol. I love how Burto plays with her. Much love to you all and Gmom and Judy. Take good care! Stay cool 😎

That white moth in the first greenhouse. They lay eggs which turns into caterpillars and they eat your leaves. The open gap under the greenhouses is an open door for the moths.

I have used diatomaceous earth as a dusting and seems to have prevented pests

The peppers look like slugs. Slugs love the fabric pots. Also it’s so important to have really good airflow in the green house. I have to leave my doors and windows open in my greenhouse because the flowers where dropping from the humidity. I just got my first little basket of peppers after trying for 15 years and getting only a handful each year. This year I got peppers the end of June. Started early and uppotted. Peppers like to be hot and dry. Everything looks really beautiful. I can’t tell what the eggs are from the video but just keep smashing them 😂 your garden looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing 💚

Just love your property. So well set up and manicured! Your garden is awesome. Thanks for sharing

What a beautiful productive garden! Such a difference from the last couple of years which shows your experience paying off. I think your careful soil maintenance has really paid off - must be so biodynamic and healthy now. I think your hydrangeas are suffering a bit in the sun and might need a spot that gets afternoon shade… Well done Jessica, I love your enthusiasm ❤

Hello Jessica. Great video today. Full of great footage. Your garden is beautiful. You have quite the variety of veggies. Yum. Thank you for sharing. As always I really enjoy your channel. Have a blessed week✌️🇺🇸❤️

I’m so old school I don’t do grams I still do cups, teaspoons and tablespoons. lol. Give ma a recipe with old times measurements.

Love the extra long video!

Newbie here :-). Just happened by you and your mom shopping at Costco. It’s a real pleasure to watch someone with such a very positive attitude. Uplifting. I am not a gardener or a canner. Perhaps if I had to do all over again. In any case, I enjoyed your video. Thanks. Some of the things

Next time you go into town take a plant with you to your nursery and ask them, just an idea as they are in pots

Beautiful garden, Jessica. You should be very proud of yourself. 😊

Peaches is so cute! Jessica, your garden has taken off so beautifully! Your harvesting will really take off now!! And, your flowers are so pretty!! That bread looks so good. I still haven't tried sour dough yet. It's only me, and I don't know if I can keep up the starter. Only one way to find I though. Lol! God bless you all!

Hi Jessica… your garden is very impressive! 😊

Jessica your homestead is BEAUTIFUL!!!!❤ IN the greenhouse it looks like spidermites - use beer or mix dawn and vinegar in a spray bottle. You are doing fantastic!!!!

wow you are having the best garden year - it's all just gorgeous - thanks to all your hard work and the blessing of Mother Nature's cooperation! ♥

great looking spinach

Fab vlog, plants and garden look amazing Jess, hope your all well, you look like your catching the sun, love to you all from Lorraine Wales 🏴 U.K xx

You could also dry or freeze dry some of you garden harvest. Beautiful garden Jessica

I wash my plants with a solution of one teaspoon of castile soap in one gallon water and about 10 drops of peppermint oil. This solutions is good for spider mites; aphids etc. and won't harm beneficial. bugs . Make sure you soak the top and bottom of the leaves and blooms.

love and admiration all the way from germany. really enjoy your videos. really therapeutic ❤

The garden is beautiful!!

Hi Jessica and sweet family! Your garden and flowers are just beautiful and every year it will just keep getting better. If you make homemade wine you can take the discard and put in a pan because slugs, earwigs and other pests love yeast. Just a natural way to rid your garden of pests. Good job on the spinach. Years ago a farmer I knew gave me winter spinach seeds and I could grow my spinach in the winter instead of during the hotter weather. My husband loved polk salad and I used spinach in the place of polk if I couldn’t pick any and he never knew the difference. Ole timers say polk was a blood purifier, I don’t know if it’s true, but that’s what I’ve always heard. Raisins were used for car buckles or boils and the old timers said it was a blood purifier as well. I know it’s true because I witnessed it working. You’re the grill master now, your meal looked so yummy and your bread too. I hope you and your family have a very blessed week!

Just love yall...hard work pays off....the intense heat in Georgia has been rough on our gardens this year...everything we get is a blessing from the Lord ❤❤❤❤

This was a wonderful video! I am a long-time subscriber and always enjoy your videos. Your garden has come so far, and this year it looks so beautifully orchestrated. Your new mulched pathways make such a difference. And, the sourdough bread looked absolutely delicious! Loved the jazzy, up beat piano music!

You work so hard to make it happen

Beautiful garden,

Your garden looks great.

Wow we got blessed with a long video!!!🎉💜🕯

Fabulous Green Thumb! Its a 106 in AZ so plants a frying! I envy your ability to produce such bounty!

Great video Jessica. Your garden is beautiful I'm so happy for the great harvest you are getting. How's your mom liking Alaska? Has she settled in? Can you take us to see her one day and show us what she's done to her cabin? Be blessed Jessica.

Beautiful garden, I wish I knew enough to tell you what is on your pepper plants. I wonder if on a dry sunny day you could move some outside and see if that makes them happy. It seems like what ever bug it is likes the humidity of the green house. I like peoples suggestion on lady bugs, but don't know if that will help either. Honestly you have come along way in your gardening. So proud of you and all your hard work. I really want a loaf of your bread, sourdough is my favorite.😊

aphids are eating on your peppers.... mix 3 parts water, 1 part oil and about 5-8 drops of dish soap. spray to bottoms of your leaves to smoother the eggs and I spray the tops of my leaves to stop them from eating the leaves

Awe mamma it looks awesome ❤❤❤

Everything looks so amazing. Your garden is flourishing. So proud of you! What a beautiful life you're creating for your family! Try Bonide Eight for all of your veggie pests. It works like a charm. Your peppers will thank you.

Watch “Little Mountain Ranch”. They have a farm in British Columbia. She does gardening, canning, milking, bees, you name it.

My dad and I went to a buffet called Pizza Ranch (Midwest, Minnesota) & they had a similar salad. They only had it for a couple of weeks and I'd eat that more than anything else lol candied walnuts I believe they were. Sooo good never thought fruit would be so good on a salad.😂

Well you grow like a pro

You have such a lovely property. What a view. Wish I could live in such a beautiful surroundings. Love, love, love. Just saw someone saying that 1T yeast, 2T sugar in warm water leave at least for 2 hours for it to bloom or overnight depending. THEN add it to 5gallons of water and 1 cup per plan. I have to try and see if it really works or not for growing better. My tomatoes were so beautiful and then all of a sudden the leaves start getting yellow and the trunk gets thick and hard. Oh, well.....

your garden is awesome

Beautiful garden love it.

Geez, I miss my gardening days in NY. It was a fun hobby. Thanks for sharing. You are my virtual garden. Your greenhouses in Florida need to be hurricane proof.

Your garden looked amazing!

Your garden is spectacular even with all the weather challenges.

Your garden looks wonderful thanks for sharing

Puedes usar las espinacas haciendo un potaje de cuaresma que lleva bacalao, garbanzos y espinacas con un sofrito de ajo y cebollas, un poco de pimentón dulce, sal y pimienta❤

Stink bug and hornworms will lay eggs under leaves. May try BT spray. Ladybugs are good for bugs

Oh my gosh, Jessica, your flowers are so beautiful

Sun tan looks good on you . That salad looked wonderful.

the garden is amazing,girl peaches is so sweet. .

I am so glad that you’re doing the Einhorn recipe because I am going to buy some. I’ve been wanting to try out a recipe for einkorn for a long time. The advantage you do have as you can succession plant and I will bet quite a bit of your span. Spinach grows back so you can do another harvest. Unfortunately, my spinach bolted very quickly on me, but the chickens enjoyed it.

Bugs- soapy water with a few drops of tea tree oil- then a sprinkle of baby powder. Then a few bags of ladybugs!!

i am a new sub i love your fluffy helpers there have to be in to everything, i have 2 dogs of my own who think there are helping even when there not lol😅

Or sink ANY can & put beer in them. Works great ❤❤

Jessica the garden is beautiful, I face the same issue with chickens. Can't wait for the next update on the garden and to see some fishing.

Hi my friends. We love your show here in Michigan. 😊

notice dead leave in front green in back . also yes cut off dead leaves so plant stops sending nutrients to leaf n it will send to plant

The hydrangea leaves look like they have burned a little from your long days of sunlight. That happens to my lemon tree when I bring it outside after winter.

Thanks for sharing Jessica., I do not have a Garden 7-8-2024👍🏽👍🏽❤️

You should be so proud of yourself! Your garden is amazing! I'm so enjoying learning along with you I have learnt that growing spinach I really couldn't be bothered!Am envious of your lifestyle from here in the UK.

Hello Jessica. Last year my Celery was bitter. My Father told me to blanch/wrap it which I will be trying this year.

Why not put hawk netting over the chicken run to keep them in, it would really annoy me if my chickens got into my veg garden😄❤️❤️

I've never had any luck with hydrangeas in alaska. I'm not sure what eating your peppers, but that sucks. The only bugs I deal with in anchorage are slugs and Beatles. It could be those black Beatles.try some diatomaceous earth.

Order lady bugs! Watch living traditions youtube channel and their fight with tomato worms. It may not be the same insect but lady bugs are good for plants… they eat the bad stuff/insects

maybe ask at local nurses or home depot garden guys. did try water n dish soap?
