I quit gardening. (maybe you did too?!)  

I took my first spiritual bath using herbs and flowers I grew and it was something special! ✨️

Good morning! I’m here Luv. I had to take a break as well. This heat has been kicking my butt. From 110 to 115 hasn’t been my friend.

I'm in Georgia so yup, HOT. I also harvested herbs to dry and dehydrated. First I washed them put batches in salad spinner til it was a lot dryer then I rolled in a dish towel before putting in dehydrator. That lessened the time for each batch of herbs ( only 4 lbs of peppermint, oregano, basil, skullcap, a couple others). It's getting up early to get them harvested before the sun gets to baking you. Love your videos and your layout.

It is such a fulfilling experience to grow the food you eat and see the bounty , colors and pure substance you get from fresh grown food .❤❤❤

I usually come go out about 630 am to get my garden task done by 10 am. Early morning is a must in South Carolina. I live in Columbia. Happy Gardening ❤😊👩🏾‍🌾

There is no more a difficult place to live than in the past. It is true that our past can inform us, but we must not base the rest of our life on past information. There is joy in front of you. Keep moving forward.🙏🏽

I PRAY THAT ONE DAY I HAVE THE OUTDOOR SPACE TO HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPACE TO GROW AS WELL!

It's good that you took a break and didn't quit 👍👍

I like the hanging method idea bc you can walk over to your herb give it a shake and squeeze right onto your baked goods. You don’t even have to break it down.

In Texas it is three number temperatures. It stopped raining in Texas in June.

Your pepper harvest is my dream! Such an inspiration to grow a wide variety I love all of the different sizes, shapes and colors! Beautiful garden and video as always!

You're garden looks amazing! So many peppers, I see lots of cowboy candy or hot sauce in your future LOL. Strangely we have had temperatures almost as high up here in Ontario as well lately. So insane to think we are having such heat up here. My garden is loving it though so I'm happy. I just sneak outside around 5 am to water and check on my plants before the sun gets too hot. It's the only way to keep it up and not roast LOL

Zone 9b in FL - 100 degrees and super, super humid. You are drenched in 5 min of just standing outside. Needless to say, gardening only happens early morning or near sunset when it doesn't rain. 😅

Your Summer is truly our Winter: Temps so extreme you can barely go outside. At least when it's ZERO w/ a 30 mi @ hr wind, I can put on enough clothes to be out for 1/2 hr at a time! There's no way you can take enough clothes OFF to go out in triple digit heat!! Your new constructed space is too BEAUTIFUL to be called a SHED!! I love that wallpaper

Holding the camera with your right hand and harvesting with your left hand. Though you make everything look so easy, I’m sure that there is more to what you do than meets the eye. A lot of work goes into what you are doing. We get to come along for the pleasant ride, but oh the work that it takes for us to ride along with you!😍 May you be strengthened from the inside out. As you enjoy your calling and all that it entails, may The Lord continue to honor your hearty efforts, and may everything that you share Glorify The Lord and blesses you and every soul that lays eyes on your videos.❤️

I’m in SC too in the same zone and I’m glad I was not the only one ! The heat has been brutal this year.

We have an acre garden and 52 fruit trees!...I have had to install 70% shade cloth to keep my plants from burning up!!...I have been sucession planting....first thing in the am and after 730pm!...only...if you want to live!

I am so happy the garden algorithm brought you to me. You're garden is gorgeous. I live on a plain and miss living in the trees so much. Gives me a nice deep breath just looking at it!

Hi from SC as well. That heat wave is coming back. Im trying to harvest before the heat rises too much.

Our "feel like" temps reached 116 with a temp of 98.....my garden couldn't handle it. All I have left is watermelon...everything else FRIED! I'm thrilled you had a harvest....Next Year I'm building a cover with a 30-49% shade cover. You plant and learn...Enjoy your harvest! Zone 7a-8b...Mississippi

Awesome harvest! I love how the sunflowers greet you at the entry. TFS🌻🌞

We have to always make our health number 1. Thank you for your channel. Great harvest

Your garden is just so lovely!! I live in a HOT desert environment! I’ve only grown cherry tomatoes in big 10 gallon tree containers n a big cage! That plant lasted thru January!, producing sooo many cherry tomatoes!! Loved them, tasted soooo goood. I’d use miracle grow on it every 3 wks. Grew so strong n fast…. It’s so hot here most things shrivel up in the heat… Blessings!!

What generally causes many issues in our life is discontent. This simply means that we are virtually never satisfied; regardless. We’re always reaching at something. Our heart is always running around like a dog chasing its tail. Of course he’ll never catch it, but he keeps trying. Sometimes we must simply STOP.🙏🏽

First, I LOVE your hair like that! 2nd...I didn't quit gardening completely, but mostly. I'm in N. MS, zone 8a and we have very similar climates. We had 111 heat index today. Hopefully, we will get down to 91 this weekend. (lol!) I never thought I would appreciate 91, until today! 😆🥵

It got extremely hot here in Kansas too. I put a shade cloth over part of my garden before we had a storm and I took it down. I have only dried my mint in my dehydrator, but you’ve inspired me to make bouquets! 🌻💕

The colors on the peppers so pretty. Your shed is going to be beautiful just like the garden. Yes this heat in Georgia is something else and hurting some of my plants.

Perfect timing on this video! I was about to use the dehydrator on my herbs but I like the idea of using a mesh dryer in the greenhouse. It's out here in GA 8A too but we haven't hit 100...yet.

I'm in North Carolina, and we got that Heat wave as well, I brought some shade cloth to go over my garden , hopefully that will help keep it safe.

I am still amazed at where you started from to now! Just incredible. Yall gonna have a good long life of growing your own food. A true blessing from The Most High. #still tickled pink 🥰🥰 😑

Amen on the heat in SC, I’m in the Aiken SC area. I know one of the days they was saying it felt like a 119 outside. I thank God for my air conditioning. But as you are saying you had lots of rain well we haven’t. Though storms just goes right around us. It’s been awful. Your garden is beautiful.

I went out on my apt balcony this morning to transplant some things before it rains...hasn't rained yet. Maybe it will son and water my transplants some more (Patty pan squash, cherry tomato and runner beans).

I recommend using a salad spinner to help dry off the herbs before you put them in the dehydrator, I also take mine off the stem before I put them in there. It will take less time and you’re not using the stem. Beautiful garden

Nice pepper harvest 👍 and your shead is looking great!😍💕

We hit 117 in the low AZ desert. I come out at 5 to 6 am to get my gardening chores. Then back iut 6 pm till dark!

Great video. Great harvest 😊😊Its getting too hot here as well in socal. My plants are getting beat up. 😂😂.

Hi l love, love, love 😊🥰 your channel. Learn so much from watching. You got me into growing my own stevia instead of buying it I garden in Sunny Crazy Hot SoCal. I get up before the sun and birds in the summer (4:45am)!! I quit and go instead when the temps hit 96 to 98 sometimes around 10:00 am. Then come back out around 6ish when it starts to dip below 100 degrees. I have to use ollas and drip irrigation just to try and stay ahead of the heat. In summer, may have to water twice a day. Thanks so much for trudging forward in the heat and filming anyway.

Wow, that's some extreme heat. Here I am struggling with our 97°F temp today in SoCal, lol. Anyway, I truly enjoy watching your harvest videos! My garden has gotten off to a slow start this summer and I haven't gotten a chance to harvest much at all, so it's such a joy to watch yours flourishing. All the peppers are gorgeous. What variety is the yellow/orange pepper?

that heat was nation wide! here in canton ohio i took a small break as well.nothing really suffered though. but my god the hand watering i had to do. the garlic cured quick though in this heat lol. love your property and garden.

I agree with you about air drying...also I have put non wet herbs in a paper bag with holes and it dries well and is aromatic.

You inspired me not give up and plant more flower because I still have time to grow. Yes this 8b SC heat very disrespectful. I almost lost so many plants last week. Great harvest!!! 😊

Watching and hearing you harvest your peppers was just so relaxing and satisfying. You are finding your niche with your video formatting. Mixing your voice and then a span of garden sounds while you work is becoming a signature of yours that is really pleasing. I’d be interested for some ideas on how you are preserving your peppers. I’m also zone 8b in the south.

Loving the shed! Great video!

I tried the dehydrator for my basil. I think it burned it. It did not smell as good as when I air dry. I threw it out (I have lots of basil). I bought one of those mesh hangers and will use it from now on. So much better! I use the dehydrator for my datil peppers to make a spicy powder. Your garden shed and garden are so beautiful!

As it gets harder to deal with the heat, I've seriously been thinking about only growing in the spring and late summer, into fall. I'm in 8b as well. I just can't take it! I have found that having shade cloth gives some reprieve.

I love your sunflowers 🌻

I JUST LOVE THIS CHANNEL, YOUR GARDEN AND THAT WALL PAPER IS SOOOO PRETTY!

Your garden oasis is so dang beautiful and inspiring! 💕

Love your herb garden!

Just love the garden❤

Awesome harvest 😊

Your garden is so beautiful, love all the colors!! Glad you only quit for 2 weeks!! 😊🫑🌶🌡☀️

This was relaxing

i hang dry. Got Mullen, red and white clover, and lambs ear. Oh yeah some Healall

Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful garden and shed update.

Good morning! What a beautiful harvest and tour. I do miss hearing your voice😊. It helps me to learn about the varieties and abundant types of produce. Thank you so much for your labor.

Garden is so pretty. What a nice harvest sweet pea.

❤❤❤

❤

Your basket of tomatoes is like a beautiful still life painting. 😊

So glad you stayed out of the heat! It's been an intense summer and I definitely paid for it one day when I stayed out in the garden for too long

Awesome harvest🎉 What will you do with your peppers? Will you mix them together and preserve?

I love your garden. There are so many unique vegetables. Im in zone 8b in GA. This gives me some new ideas to try in my garden. What will you do with all that mint you harvested and dried?

Good morning. I’m in Columbia, SC. I’ve not been in my garden much over the last 2 weeks. I have found that when I dry mint and other herb in my dehydrator I love some of the aromatics.

I water when i come back from walk in the mornings. I dont like watering at night SLUGS!! after i water i will fertilize if needed. Then in the house i go.lol I try to do my errands before heat really kicks you here in Jacksonville florida. ❤

Look even if you go outside for just a few minutes to harvest I call that a gardening win 😅 Also, I got sweet banana pepper seeds from BI and they look just like your lemon jalapeño. They’re also spicy, so definitely the wrong seed. Lol

I love you explaining the different dry options. Did you plant that mint or was it wild mint?

Ŕe your accent wall in the garden shed...have you thought about chalkboard paint? Or maybe on a section of the wall...for lists?😊❤❤❤

have any citrus trees you can definetly grow it in that 8b zone. im in seattle washington just started growing thinking about moving to the south for farming

Feeling hot in houston texas 90 in the morning and 102 and up in the evening my plants are suffering

Don't you just love the biquinho peppers? They are delicious pickled but I also like them in my country potatoes. Just the right amount of heat. 😋

The soundtrack to Summer.......plucking peppers from the plant.

Good Morning 🤗 So love ❤️ watching your garden tours. I'm a NY gardener ,been doing a garden for over 40 years, before that helped my mom with gardening and canning With 6 children, I preserved everything from tomatoes 🍅, salsa, green beans, beets , peppers etc. Nothing like a fresh tomato 🍅 straight out of the garden.

In the garden, there are vining plants. A cucumber is such. It has tentacles that attach to whatever is near enough to grab ahold to. It is interesting that vining plants seldom vine down. They tend to always vine up. We can take a lesson from these plants in regards to what we allow to attach to us. We must be diligent by The Grace of God to not allow any person, place, thing, or idea attach on to us that will prove to be invasive in the wrong way because this vining will certainly travel up. Up is where your head is. When things take ahold to our head, they are pretty much locked in there. That is way it is extremely hard to change the way we think about certain things. At some point there was an attachment that made its way over time straight to our head. Since we tend to operate inside our head, we must know and understand that we need the Help of The Holy Ghost to know when to say, “No, don’t even go there.” Then start making your way to your safety zone: JESUS! It is not an exaggeration to say this needs to be an everyday-all day long endeavor.🙏🏽

Hello What kind of irrigation do you have

Real talk night garden

Do you sell the jars of mint?

Do you have ants in the garden? If you do, please help me. I am in Florida and ants are killing everything I put down.

You don’t seek to live your life to be: Understood, accepted appreciated, respected, admired, valued, or any other such thing. You seek to live your life to please God / • / 🙏🏽

There is a saying that says, “God has no grand children.” This basically means that what goes for one, goes for all. If God tells us to do or not to do a thing, He means it. That goes for the preacher, deacon, doctor, and lawyer. That goes for the teller at the bank, the movie star, the Sunday School teacher, the truck driver, and the maid. That goes for the President, the Secretary of State, and car detailer. That goes for the baby sitter, the professor, and the janitor. That goes for the young, the old, and the in-between. That goes for the soldier, the grandma, grandpa, and the cashier at Walmart. That goes for ALL! There are no loopholes and clauses. There are no wherefores, and exemptions. While we relish God’s Mercy and His Grace, we must NEVER take what God Says for granted. It makes no difference who you are, what you got, how long you been who you are, and what you think you know; GOD is GOD and He means What He Says Every Single Time He Says It. Though we are not to be afraid of God, we best grab a good hold on seeking to understand how to have a healthy fear of The Master of this universe for He is Holy and Demands Reverence. Pronto! As the old hymn that use to be sung so often says, “It’s getting late in the evening and the sun going down.” Jude 24Now unto Him That is Able to Keep you from falling, and to Present you faultless before the Presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, 25To The Only Wise God our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty, Dominion and Power, both now and ever. Amen.

Wash means to cleanse. Today is a great day to ask God to do some washing! Dear Lord, Wash my feet so I can walk right. Wash my hands so I can do right. Wash my ears so I can hear right. Wash my eyes so I can see right. Wash my mouth so I can talk right. Wash my heart so I can love right. Wash my mind so I can think right. Oh Dear God, Wash me!🙏🏽

Oftentimes we can think more highly of ourself than we should. The Bible specially Says in Romans 12:3 that we Should NOT do this. Some may not feel comfortable in praying this prayer of thanksgiving this morning, but bear with me as I do: Lord Jesus, thank you so so so much for putting up with crazy ME!🙏🏽 Tell the truth and shame the devil because real is ALWAYS better than fake!🥰 The Love of Jesus is totally radical, inexplicable, and unfailing! If IT were not; I’d most certainly be up the creek without a paddle! Endless GLORY and PRAISE to our Amazing God for Giving us Jesus Christ!🙌🏾❤️

It is quite easy to busy ourselves with passing judgement upon someone whom we’ve sized up in our own mind. We’ve looked closely and carefully; then we judge by what we see in the situation. Now we need only look back briefly to get a good grip on how “off” our judgement can be. Think for a moment about the time when you were pretty much 100% sure about something. Yeah, THAT. You were wrong about that weren’t you. You thought that you had sized up the situation based on the evidence that you had gathered between your two ears; and yet, time proved your judgment wrong. In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus Himself tells us to judge not. For the same judgement that we use to judge someone else; we will be judged. Now that kinda makes you want to rethink some things if you think about it seriously. Making rash calls based on what you have concluded might be wrong; even if you’ve seen what appears to be some good evidence. This does not mean that we call wrong right, because that would be wrong. It does mean however that we at times need to examine further some things with our mouth shut and our soul open to what The Holy Ghost is Saying.🙏🏽

Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. The devil only wants that which God Wants. He has been that way from the start. He said in Isaiah 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High. Even in The Garden of Eden in Genesis, he shows up and targets the instructions that God gave Adam at the beginning of Creation. If God Says to honor something, the devil seeks to cause us to dishonor it. If God Says to not do a thing, the devil seeks to cause us to want to do that very thing. If God Says you need to walk away from that, the devil seeks to make you want to stay. If God Says Wait, the devil says go. The battle is constant because he ALWAYS goes counter to Almighty God because that is his devilish nature. Our struggles are generally an indicator that God has targeted something that the devil is seeking to counter because he despises The Ways of God and seeks to derail us in order to challenge God; uselessly, but he still tries. Counter means to oppose. In other words, the devil is always fighting against what God Says in our life. He seeks to counterfeit everything that God originates. This covers everything from relationships to values. Counterfeit is something that is made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive. We must know that there are matters that are most certainly important to God, and we can most certainly expect the devil to present himself right there in the midst. BUT GOD Knows just what to do; even if we don’t. Call Jesus.🙏🏽

Your channel is called "Our Freedom Song," but it seems to majority highlight you over the whole. Why do y'all decide to show the single woman over the family doing this?
