Hey ya'll, I'm Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm
Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you'll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.
There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart - to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we've learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you're here.

You could call them the food tunnel and the flower tunnel 😊 Easy to say and remember 😁

@charswellness Год назад

This was exactly my thought too. Food tunnel and Flower tunnel. 😊 Straightforward.

@steveegbert7429 Год назад

Same thought here, kind of generic for Jess but easy.

@mcatronw Год назад

Exactly my thought too!

@vj563 Год назад

I was just going to say the same exact thing lol 😆

@LaurenHartog Год назад

I came here to say the same thing too! 😅

My mom always grew sweet peas on both ends of her clothesline. Probably made hanging laundry, more enjoyable.

@janelleroads6011 Год назад

You know what else smells really good? Lilly of the Valley! Sweet, like spring. We had a bed in Missouri in a shady spot. It was my favorite, then lilac. Mmmm!

@rebeccabeard2964 Год назад

The symbolism of seeing holy basil sprouts all over your garden gets me teary eyed, knowing how much you love that plant and how much God loves you, Jess. ❤

@donnalynne7510 Год назад

I've long taught my Daughters and Grandchildren; a child that is loved, has many names.

@heidiweinert3260 Год назад

@dorriwaldera3081 Год назад

Plant shopping with my 87 year old mom at green houses, I would randomly grab a leave of something, and say "Here, Smell This!" She said how do you know this stuff, you didn't learn it from me! She did not recognize a lot of them, but I do and love them, grow them and use them, and shared the joy with my Mom! LOL

@littlesaltyhomesteader Год назад

We crush up the pineapple sage leaves and add them to lemonade - but the tea sounds divine, maybe with lemon basil!

@angelabain7974 Год назад

My new favorite combo for chamomile hot tea add to fresh chamomile, pineapple mint and few peppermint leaves, so good. Fresh chamomile so much better than dried!

"Oh dang" an hour before dinner is the story of my life!

The amount of unbridled joy in this vlog is awesome! You made my day.

@ourhomesteadclassroom Год назад

Not only does Pineapple Sage grow quickly, and make a lovely summer tea, the hummingbirds ADORE it when it blooms! 💚 My one plant gave me more close encounters w/ my resident hummingbirds last summer than ANYTHING I've ever planted for them!! I just planted two more starts last night!

@sharonknorr1106 Год назад

The flowers make a nice tea as well.

@promisedjubileedaniels Год назад

Makala matches your enthusiasm in the garden! This walk-through was super enjoyable! I hope Makala joins you in the garden again soon!

I think Fare Tunnel and Fancy Tunnel for food and flowers respectively sounds lovely…

Nice

@mountainsidelane9894 Год назад

Camomile in Spanish is “Manzanilla” meaning “Little apple or tiny apple”. I’ve never really smelled fresh Chamomile, so I’m excited for mine to bloom this year to see if it smells like a “manzana”. 😊 Lovely walk with lovely ladies! 🙂

@leannsmarie Год назад

I hope it smells good to you like it does to Jess. I grew chamomile once and hated it. To me, it smelled like dust. Like stale dust from an old, abandoned house. I never could smell anything like apples at all. I was so disappointed because I guess I was 'in love' with the idea of growing my own chamomile for tea. Now I can't even drink it.

@mountainsidelane9894 Год назад

@@leannsmarie Oh man! I’m sorry that happened to you. 😔 I love camomile tea, so I’m hoping that “fresh” camomile tea is that much better. 🤞🏻

@emmakaye7099 Год назад

hello Jess, Name your tunnels "A" & "B"..." Abundance "for the food growing tunnel and "Beauty" for the blooms.

@katiez5660 Год назад

There is a guy in Canada that told a story of a guy who had Apple trees. One had a lot of aphids but none of the others did. He said every morning he would pee on that tree. Apparently too much nitrogen will draw the aphids. The guy told him 20 times in the year would be ok. But 365 way too much. I had milkweed that had aphids because I overly fertilized. I wish I remembered the name of the farmer because he was very informative.

@terrismith8523 Год назад

Love! Where did you get your fountain? It's all so beautiful!

@patriciaventura2077 Год назад

Yup - In Spanish, chamomile is called “manzanilla”, which means little apple, as you stated Jess.

@sharoncardenas5447 Год назад

Since you Love the smell good flowers, as I do myself, by all means plant some Gardenhe bushes. Oh my gosh, I use to have a couple right off my porch. The smell was Heavenly!!! 🌻🌹🌼🍓🙏

@RevLetaLee Год назад

Nice to meet Mikayla. The garden is so lovely, mine's just a little behind, seedlings just going in this week, though my overwintered onions, leeks and garlic look close to ready to pull. its very exciting for my second summer in this home. I have learned so much, I think of your video's often as much of what I've learned has been through your suggestions and my experimenting (which you also inspired). I am so grateful for life, gardens, great video's and friends I may never meet in person, but who enrich my life from afar. Thank you.

@debichats8634 Год назад

My grandpa always had a veggie garden but the row closest to his house was always sweet peas! It went across the whole back yard. I remember him asking to pick some because there were so many! It thrilled me because I was just a little girl who loved girly scents! I’m growing some this year for the first time! I’m thinking it would be a wonderful scent in home made shampoo’s and body washes….I may try this! I need to get something for them to climb! ❤

@mamat5264 Год назад

So nice to hear your laugh and see Miah’s sister.. And Ben. You all never fail to make me smile. This Grammy is having double breast cancer surgery next week and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Thank you for the smile❤

@peggydierks6988 Год назад

Prayers your surgery goes well.

@bhavens9149 Год назад

one of my friends used to make cucumber water, put some cucumber slices, a slice or two of lemon or lime and handful of mint in a big jug of water with some ice and let it set a spell, really refreshing in summer.

@kath-phlox Год назад

If you think sweet peas are the ultimate scent, you should smell freesias, that one I think you will never ever forget, but they a hugely difficult to grow, I tried.

@christinaward161 Год назад

Sweet peas have always been my most favourite flowers,as they were my moms. So i have enjoyed this video with a little smile on my face because i know your joy at the smell, it is divine. Thankyou Jess xx

@renie847 Год назад

Thanks for the late afternoon/evening walk. It was just beautiful.

@metalmartha2571 Год назад

I love sweet peas too! They might be the perfect flower! The more you pick them the more they produce. My grandma used to plant sweet peas in abundance. Now, I plant them in her remembrance. ❤ I can always feel her presence when the sweet peas are blooming.

@brittni827 Год назад

I had a Brussel sprout plant covered in aphids like that last year. All the other brassicas... nothing. Totally fine. I just let it go (mostly because I didn't want to touch it LOL)😅

@christophergenethliou9666 Год назад

The garden is so beautiful! I feel like i would spend so many hours in the day just wondering around admiring it😂 Chamomile in Greek means something like apple on the floor/apple of the earth, chamo(χάμω) - on the floor/earth and mile(μήλο) - apple

@SeeLionsInTX Год назад

Now ...I'm adding, "Smell fresh sweet pea flowers," to my Bucket List ❤

Time to get my beans, squashes, zucchini, cucumbers, and I FINALLY got Kajari melon to try for the first time!!! We loved the midget melons from Baker Creek, but they haven't had Kajari for the last two years. So excited to try❤ eeeeeek.... It's finally TIME!!!!

@revmcl1 Год назад

I had my prayer chair under my bedroom window, and my husband planted sweet peas outside the window. I have to say, the open window with the fragrance of the sweet peas reminded me of the fragrance of the Lord. It was a lovely place to spend half an hour in the morning!

@wormulous Год назад

Jess! I know personally im not much of a religious person, but i can feel the healing effects of planting and harvesting food. As someone who will mend their sorrows in alcohol... or any other negative connotation vice... planting, seeing progress, and caring for plants has changed my outlook on those vices. Call it needing to care for something.. call it understanding mature... call it higher being intervention or whatever you want... it has helped me in life. Now to deal with the poison hemlock near my garden that is thriving in the woods.

@shaunawilliamson3178 Год назад

I dried sweet pea flowers last year (hang upside down on the stem). They don't have a scent but boy are they pretty! Papery and delicate purple shades.

@angelawillis145 Год назад

I do the same thing with a sacrifice plant. Unfortunately it’s rare here that they don’t eventually share the “evilness “ with the rest of the bed. That’s why I don’t have peas and beans planted right now. I’m usually getting ready to harvest soon here in Ga but trying to miss this cycle of pests and just do fall planting. Really hating not having them though

@rainspringing Год назад

Makayla is a gem. Delightful to watch her experience your garden! 🥰 My spouse is enamored with Zucchini, your self appointed Garden Cat. Haven't had great luck with those black aphids. Both in them not eventually spreading, nor getting something to come clear them out. New to me as of about two years ago, and seem to be less tasty? I've even manually moved ladybug larvae to infested plants, and they are like nah, we want your better tasting, fewer, aphids...heading out. All my hundreds of milkweed assassin bugs just eat everything else. The black aphid attacked plants are usually territory of at least one assassin bug per plant. Always something else on their stabby end. Bit of a puzzle, those aphids. Previously left any aphids alone before, because I saw them as fast easy food for my other bugs, during lulls, but not these.
