Interesting idea about regrowing vegetable. I planted green onion only. I never tried another . I would like to try garlic and celery. Keep updating about the result, please. I will look for this book you advised. Lemon tree - what a great idea for house plant ! Thank you, Tessie .
Great video! Very informative! My friend has been doing the celery in water, as well as lettuce, green onion, and carrots. I am interested in that book. I might order it tomorrow.
P.S. Tessie, you can grow an Avocado tree from the pit, similar to how you did the sweet potatoes with the toothpicks & water. My mom did them several times. I have one that just started last week. 😽
Thanks Tessie for all the great info I knew about potatoes but not the other stuff to just grow like that I'm going to have to try. Thanks. 😊❤🌸✌have a great night. Your friend from ohio.
Jessie How amazing to grow food like this...!! I am going to try this!!! Thank you!! Starting to get my little garden planned out!! This Wa very helpful!!
This is so exciting. I have not heard of doing this before and am so anxious to try. My mother did have garlic growing when I was a kid and we would cut the green part and mixed it cut up in butter and it made great garlic bread. I never even asked how she started the plants. 😬. I am amazed at that lemon tree. So gorgeous. Thank you once again for these ideas. You are know so much Tessie, God Bless you for sharing! Love u and the whole gang!
Hi tessie..I'm super late watching yesterday's video..we are all down with this cold/flu and my eyes were too weak last night to look at screen!! I enjoyed this visit so much!! I did this with my kids and grandkids, and growing up with my mom, grandma's and great-grandmas!! I love when you bring all these wonderful memories flooding back. I hope your video encourages people to do this with their kids and grandkids if this is new to them! Also did you know that ANN LANDERS and ASK ABBY columnists were IDENTICAL TWIN SISTERS and had a lifetime feud!! Look up their story it is so amazing!! They needed Homestead Tessie to figure out their own life problems lol!! Love you girl..see you after while😘🥰🤗
Tessie you are getting me so excited for spring. I love the Lemon tree! My Dad lives in Naples Florida and I am jealous of his lime trees :) but I do like lemons better!! Have you ever read about Soapberry trees? I wish I could grow them here in Tennessee! Take care 😘
Dearest Tessie, I am going to try the kitchen veggie planting ! I am happy and excited to do it with my Grand daughter. She will learn how too! Thank you for always showing us the restorative ways of doing things and of life. God bless you . You are a Gift. I love you, and best of God's love to you too. Flora xoxox
Hi Tess happy tue., I have celery, carrots and onions started. I never thought about garlic gotta work on that this weekend. I dehydraetd some carrot tops last summer and just did celery and corn
I think your lemon tree is lovely, I wouldn't mind either if there were no lemons, I'm going to give it a try and perhaps try some orange pips too don't know if they'll work. Great episode Tessie 🍍🍊🍋🤗
GREAT VIDEO TESSIE!!! Lots of new ideas about starting seeds from fruit and leftover veggies!!! Your lemon tree is absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing the wonderful ideas!!!💕💕💕
Love all your videos and I especially love this idea of growing instead of throwing. I think I'm going to do this with carrots and potatoes and I really loved the blue bowl that you put your celery in, that is really pretty. You have great ideas and I think you are a very intelligent woman, more so than you realize. So I love the idea of ask Tessie. God bless all !
Hi Tessie. I know some people that started tomatoes from tomato seeds that they saved from tomato they cut up. They had lots of plants from the seeds. I m going to try the lemon also the celery. Wish me luck. Love this video. Thankyou. God bless you. ❤️🤗🙏🐓
Hi Tessie I already have some green onions growing and just started a sweet potato. My mom used to grow them as plants in the kitchen window. I want to plant some garlic and celery too. Thanks for the vidio I love every one of them!
I'm going to try to make me one of them kitchen plants. Whichever one I come up with when I use it to cook a meal for my company it's going to be the one. But I think I will go out and splurge on a lemon your lemon plant is beautiful. I am getting so much knowledge on gardening from watching you. Thank you and God bless Tessie until tomorrow night see you then.💕
I’ll have to try growing the lemon tree. I’ve also seen people have great luck at growing the top of a pineapple. There are some good RU-vid videos on that. I just planted some seeds inside that I had dried from the past few years. It’s only been 3 days but I’m getting some sprouts! Some parsley in the garden already started growing since we’ve had a warmer winter, so I moved it to a jar inside, and it seems to be doing just fine
Those are really good ideas Tessie. I want to do some of them with my two Girly Girls. I think the Ask Tessie is a great idea to. Love you Sweet Sister. God Bless You and Your Family.
Tessie I have and still do all those. But I never tried lemon seeds but I will soon. Can't wait to see what else we can plant. Looking forward to your new idea on ask Tessie. Keep smiling sweetie xoxo
Hi Tessie, I’m a fairly new subscriber and I’m loving your videos. I watch many a day. I’d love to see a video on the 40 pound box of seeds after you have organized all of them. Keep up the good work!!!!
two years ago I bought some sweet potato slips. I got a ton of sweet potatoes - more than I could use. Some shriveled up but many started to grow in the basement, so I planted them in the garden the following year. I got 45.5 lbs. of sweet potatoes! I don't think I will ever have to buy sweet potatoes again. They are like an everlasting plant!
Hey Tessie , these are things I've been doing long, long time. It's so wonderful to watch God's creations replenish with just a lil bit of love ! Just like us , we flourish with love ! Good science project for homeschooling too. Be blessed Tessie.💖💖💖💖
I knew you did this with kitchen scraps, I just knew you did! Have you tried doing the pineapple top, it makes a beautiful plant! As I was canning chicken yesterday I thought of you and just smiled.
What an amazing video! And perfect timing for me too! Bless you Tessie, and I hope you were able to read the response I left on yesterday's video. You are indeed a blessing to all, but to me especially! I am going to plant scraps starting tomorrow! Thank you so very much! Love you girl!!!
Oh, I've got to try this with my 6 yr old twins. They have been asking to grow some plants this year and they would love this. I have to try growing a lemon tree. How beautiful! I get so many awesome ideas from you.
Hi Tessie. I've done the celery before, but never heard of the others. You're so inspirational, just can't get enough of you, lol. When trying things for the first time, some work and some not so well, right?? TFS God Bless.
I'm starting with the green onions because I have a bag in the fridge and it's something I love in my salad, but can't always find in the store. Now I'll have my own. Thanks for reminding me about this.
Hey all. Tessie my Dad's neighbor has a lemon tree he planted many years back it's about 5 feet tall and he does get lemons. It's in a huge pot that had wheels. He takes it out in the summer and back inside in the winter. We're in Illinois. Another friend from church has a banana plant and last year she had tiny bananas she was surprised. She's had the plant for quite a few years now. So maybe you'll get lemons sometime. Hugs from Illinois
Have spring onions, celery, sweet potatos, carrots and romaine lettuce in the windows right now! And think I might do grapefruit and lime since I have those on hand...already have a drawf Lemon tree
A few years back when I was in poor health and could not garden I put Regular Potatoes that had sprouted in the bag into a 5-gallon pail filled with compost and straw and I was able to get more potatoes. I have done this every year since with success.
I love doing these things. I always have onions and garlic growing on my window sill. They are perfect for egg dishes, or to add to fried potatoes. Right now I have turnips,celery,onion and garlic all regrowing. Great Video Tessie! I love watching your videos❤ Your are a great inspiration and always make me feel good.
Hi Tessie, I love your food storage videos. Could you please do more recipes using your home-canned goods? I really enjoy canning, but sometimes I'm not sure how to use them to their best advantage. Especially dehydrated food stuff. Thanks!
I will ! I usually do them on my Mondays videos ,Like this Monday I will be showing How to use canned meat .last week I showed other home canned foods :)
I loved the video , it was very interesting and helpful as I did not know that you could do that with celery and carrots ! ! Thank very much ! Hope you have a wonderful evening ! God Bless you 😇
This is awesome Tessie!! Tfs!! I hope everyone is healthy!! Take care all!! My dogs are bringing in a ton of mud,hoping that I don't have to make a paper towel run!! I don't even want to go in the stores right now. 🤔🐕❤🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this. I knew some things. Wasn’t sure about the celery. Didn’t know how to do it heard that you could. Can’t wait to try that. We took the spring onions and put them in water in the windowsill and they grew so fast. Then we cut them and put the bottom part in the ground. They only seemed to do one round in just the water. We also took seeds from an eggplant and we got 6 eggplants from 1 plant. Really cool. We also took tomato seeds from our tomatoes and we planted them and they are still growing from last year. We just planted 3 butternut squash seeds and 1 came up already and has 2 leaves on it and another 1 is starting to sprout. They came up quick. Planted them in eggshells with some dirt. We planted some basil and I just noticed one is up. We also planted some yams or sweet potatoes. A friend of ours brought us back some from the yam festival in North Carolina last year and we baked some, put some in soup, and fried some and we had a couple that started sprouting so hubby cut them up and planted them and they are growing. They are a little slow but we will see what happens. We are having fun experimenting with different things. I want to try the lemon - I didn’t know about using the leaves. Thank you so much for all the info. I can’t wait to get some rosemary and try to sprout it. You are such an inspiration. God bless.
Update...ordered the book...btw, when I said in previous comment about my friend doing carrot tops, celery, etc., it is only because of you showing her. She watches your videos everyday and really enjoys them. She is not one to comment so I am just passing this on to you. Thanks!
My daddy done all that stuff, but we do eat the whole green onion especially with pinto beans and cornbread. My dad had a lemon, grapefruit tree in the house but he always told me for any fruit trees there had to be two a male and female to bare fruit. 🌳🌴🍋🍊🍏🍎🍒
Hi Tessie. My comment today has nothing to do with this video. I just wanted to share something with you. I just watched a video from a channel I'd never seen before. Not only did the woman in the video mention you a couple of times (as an inspiration), but afterwards, I started reading the comments. You've got a whole fan base over there! You have really made a name for yourself, my friend. I was so happy to see so many people saying so many good things about you on a channel I had never even heard of before today. I had to rush back to the first video of yours that I could find, just so that I could tell you. Way to go, Tessie! 👍😄
I've done green onions, sweet potatoes and regular potatoes with great success. I have had no luck with celery, though. It will grow about two inches, then rot. If I pot it after it starts growing, it rots. Oh well lol
Several years ago I was at WM and saw sweet potato vines in the garden section. I think they wanted $7 or so per plant. I didn't buy because I had some sweet potatoes beginning to sprout at home. I took a large pot and buried several of them under about 3" of soil. I watered as needed and they grew into a beautiful pot full of darker lime green plants. I received many compliments on how lush and colorful it was.
You can take a pumpkin seed and rap it in toilet paper wet the toilet paper put it in a plastic bag watch it grow it takes a bout a week not long to a few days , it just depends.God bless, have a happy daty
My celery went directly into soil in a planter and was forming leaves within three days. The stalk will be shorter than commercially grown, and individual rather than a group, but will have far more flavor.
Hi Tessie! ☺ That was fun! Tyfs! I have a grapefruit tree that my friend started from seed & gave it to me because she got tired of moving it around because it got SO huge & was very heavy. I still bring it outside every year & back in the house in October. I luv it so. Do you bring your grapefruit & lemon trees outside for the summer? They grow like weeds!!!! ☺☺😎😎
@@HomesteadTessie Yours are a managable size that, if you did plan to be away from home a long duration of time; you could always bring them in so you wouldn't have to worry for them. Yes! Bring them out this year, you will be happy that you did, & they will too 😄! And, they are tougher than you might think. 😽😽
Your giving me spring fever lol. Love this series. So frugal and simple. Migardner put out an late winter planting guide too. Im feeling my green thumb wake up!
I love that book. Having a compost pile has proven some scraps grow wether I wanted them to or not. Even potato "peels with eyes" on them grow into baby potatoes. Thanks for posting.
