You are so most lovely, inside and out! You are a beautiful for real true-blue character! You have so many amazing flavours that are SO incredible… And that you love Almighty God is the greatest of everything in your life! ❤

Got my Hopalong book today. I love it ! Thank you for using your God given talent ! ☺

So thankful to have discovered your channel. I can’t wait until spring now. My back yard is tiny, but I can still plant more flowers 💐

I like your style. La donna the Woman... beautiful. Your voice is fit for the design and restful views.

Thank you for sharing how you dry flowers and herbs ! I will be on the lookout for an antique drying rack . YES !! Please do videos on what you discover from those amazing garden books .

Oh, this is such a beautiful and inspiring video! Please, please promise to show us how you make your wreaths! You are such an artist. Thank you so much for this loveliness.

I love broom corn for making swags.

I know this was an older video but I never seen it ...loved it ...the style ...I am English decent ...love all the colors and of course all the layering that is one thing I learned when I was in design school...Im into vintage and antiques...love the red transfer ware dishes you use....keep the videos coming...also love your animal farm....

Love old gardening books! Thx for sharing!

The Book Of Herbs is fabulous. I paid regular price for that one. I just loved it.

I’m watching your videos again. They brighten up this snowy , rainy, and soon cold winter.

I'm catching up on the episodes I haven't seen and just love how with each one I'm learning about antiques, gardening, and how to use items differently. That clothes drier is stunning 😍if I ever see one here in rural South Australia I'm grabbing it. I've never worried about the little caterpillars as now we all seem to encourage insects into our lives. I guess it's a sign of a very healthy ecosystem. Thank you Jeri 💚💚

Thanks to you Jeri for showing these books i have now bought The Classic garden, 1001 old time garden tips, Herbs decorations and recipes and the Readers digest 1001 hints and tips from Ebay and Amazon so i am looking forward to reading those in the winter time.

Good morning Jeri, You have filled my brain with new ideas for my garden this year. I normally plant veggies but nearing 60 yrs old it's getting harder for me to can, so I am thinking of doing something different. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your talents. Blessings!

Hi Jeri, thank you for your wonderful informative video. The books were a steal at that price. Lucky you. I have just moved interstate where with the recent rain there are so many roadside flowers I have never seen before, including yellow CORREOPSIS. I have dyed some shirts with them and started hanging flowers and grasses. I'm excited to learn from you. Your voice is steady, like the video, and I love how you talk about what you're doing. Don't worry about whether the house is painted etc, it looks fine to me!

Just found your channel. So glad I did! You're amazing. Thank you.

I absolutely love all of you videos

I had no idea you could dry zinnias. An awesome tip about dying twine. I love your videos they are so wonderful. You are very unique.

Jeri, I have the Herb book, I love it, I have made the Lemon Loaf, many times with my lemony herbs it is delicious with tea.

I love it everything is so beautiful !!

The Annuals book you bought is one of my favorite gardening books. A fun read.

Jeri - you take the cake! I am loving your channel and have been binge watching. Ha! Thank you for sharing a part of your beautiful life with me.

Wow Jeri! Those books were a find. I would be snuggling up with some tea just reading those books..

I love the antique takes on the wall. I have a few smaller ones and never thought of using them that way. I live in a remote part of Australia. I am so grateful for your channel. I feel like I am surrounded by kindred spirits now. THANK YOU.

Beautiful

I LOVE the scent of Basil and rosemary also. Thanknyou for this wonderful video

Very pretty

Thank you for sharing ✌️ 🌻👍🙏

Beautiful video❤

Lovely and inspiring as usual. Blessings.

Beautiful video thank you

You are a blessing of joy in my life. I have only the pleasures of life surround me....nothing else is allowed.

Hi Jeri. Another beautiful video! Even in the day of KZfaq I still love to collect gardening and cook books. There is something that the touch and smell of a book that the internet still doesn't have. I like to stop in Salvation Army and Goodwill Stores to buy the books. Another great resource for used books is the public library. They have book sales about every 3 or 4 months around here. As well as the gardening and cook books for my collection I buy children's books and donate them to the local free health clinics. Most of the children who go to those clinics are a) from single parent homes, b) don't feel well and what can compare to having your mama read a book to you when you are sick and waiting to see the doctor? and c ) the children are encouraged to take the books home as gifts. I have found that children just naturally LOVE books! Some of the ladies at the DAR National Headquarters in D C have started purchasing and donating children's books to the public health clinics.

I really like the twine idea, thank you

It so hot here in south Arkansas, when I go out to move my water hose through my gardens, the only smell at present is a whiff of pine resin from the fallen pine needles that have been baked by the scorching sun. Thanks for sharing your videos, I am always refreshed by them.

If you, or anyone who might see this comment, are interested in a wonderful book, with a large section on growing/gathering/drying/wreathmaking you might like: MAINE FARM a year of country living, by Stanley Joseph and Lynn Karlin (Random House). Stanley was one of the Helen and Scott Nearing students back-in-the-day. He later bought their farm, then married his photographer wife, and the book is full of beautiful photos, stories and community events. The sort of thing that's perfect for a rainy day. Amazon has it, and hopefully a local library too. Thanks again for your great video that sparked some happy memories for me.

Beautiful video. The flowers hanging on the clothes dryer are stunning!!

This is some great info!

I have that dryer too, I'm gonna use mine for drying also great idea, mine goes the opposite way tho.your dried flowers are very nice in the house. I used to dry them also but stopped dont know y . I'm gonna start again after watching your video.

A year later.. and you are inspiring me to try a rake head for a drying hanger. Thanks.

so lovely! I can't wait to do this flower and herb drying too. LOVE your herb drying racks! that old close dryer is fantastic. everything looks great. thanks so much

Thank you Jeri, from the bottom of my heart.

Lovely Jeri, can't wait to see how they all dry. Thanks for sharing. Love the garden books.

Thank you for showing us the beauty of dried flowers and weeds. Autumn into early winter is my favorite time of the year. Right now I'm enjoying the forms of the bare legged trees. I love your Victorian drying rack.

How beautiful. I love those old rakes to dry flowers. And those fan-out rods to hang clothes/flowers is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

I love how the flowers & herbs look hanging while drying. Simple but so beautiful! Thank you for showing different inventions like the dryer! Amazing! I never saw anything like that! The books were awesome & you got them so cheap! Your videos are so interesting, enjoyable & educational!💐🤗

i would love to see you do a topiary. and all those books , what treasures youve found. thank you for all the drying hints also. i just got a rack so iam excited to start. ! green blessings from tucson.

LOVE everything about your videos ... the vintagey, cottagey feel of all that you do ... I've made the walking-stick gathering basket, cloches of lamp shade frames covered with chicken wire and I just ordered 3 of those books online ... you are so inspiring ~~

You should have lots of beautiful dried flowers for the winter months. The color shouldn't fade to badly as long as you can keep them out of direct sunlight. Love those books, great for the long winter evenings. I look forward to seeing your series of videos on topiary. I think it will be very informative. Take care - Marcie

Such a beautiful garden. What state or part of the country are you in? Just discovered you in my recommended videos and have been binge watching your videos. Love the picket fence project for the potager garden from last year! That was a lot of hard work.

💖💖💖 Thanks Ma’am...I appreciate you lovely time 🙏

It’s so pretty Jeri, I haven’t dried flowers in a long, long time. Your back room looks so nice with your stenciled floor and dried flowers hanging 🥰👍🥰 Take care and God Bless, Chris-Raleigh NC

Hello Jeri! I love this video with so much wonderful and valuable ways to dry flowers and herbs. I love the way you have them drying and it looks so beautiful my friend. I have the Garden Color Guide book and I love it! Take care & enjoy your Sunday!

We live in East Tennessee also, I am inspired by your videos to expand our gardens in the spring.

Hi Jeri💐 one of my favorite things to do drying some garden beauties. So many great uses. Great wagon wheel drying rack. Off we go to another season. Happy fall🍁

The flowers all go really lovely with your decor, l have a wooden rake in our den,l also have a smaller version of your drying rack in my laundry room,l found another old drying rack at a flea market I want to hang it in the kitchen ,l will have another go at drying Thankyou for the video x

Hi Jeri :) One of my most favorite gardening things to do is drying. I love all the beautiful colors you have gathered, the old standby containers and different ways to hang them...just causes me to sink back into my chair and hopefully the video won't stop!. One thing I've learned through many years of testing is the light coming in from the windows. Even dim light will cause fading :( The more dark and airy the more color that stays. But it is impossible not to put them in such a beautiful setting as you have. Save some for the darkest corner or ventilated closet (I don't use a door I use a curtain) so you can have both for room and for projects. Attics are perfect but not everyone has that option. Don't forget to grow hydrangea's for some of the most beautiful dried flowers. Thank you again and I haven't forgotten your rose-of-sharon seeds...just waiting for the right time to cut and mail them to you. I love how you seize every moment of life...

The drying rack is amazing. How perfect 4 drying plants. I've never dried flowers but am learning a lot from u. I will do this in the future.

Can you send me an update to this video? I’m in love with flowers. My grandmother just passed last October and since growing up she made me fall in love with how flowers grow and how to care for them. This year I went crazy seed growing with numerous of flowers and herbs and would love to get more a kick start on drying them. Thank you for this amazing video and happy gardening.

That Boneset herb is used medicinally. The tea being taken when one has "breakbone" fever! I love seeing all the books you got! That's what we do at our house when we get back from the used book store, (the same one, but in Chattanooga), or the library sale ! It's show and tell! What an exciting haul! I look forward to your sharing from them as you find some extra special bits!

You are a treasure!

Emelie Tolley books are wonderful.

I love your videos. NEW SUBBIE. I get lost in a wonderful naturalist bliss 💕

So happy I found you, I had to laugh because I have collected over the years many things as you. Of course my daughter's though I was crazy, but it's wonderful to see someone just like me. Thank you so much.

This was another wonderful video, thank you. I cannot wait to see what you do with all of your dried flowers and herbs this winter. Your book collection wasimpressive, especially the amount of money you spent. I own the Herb book and you're right, it is wonderful.

The books are lovely and such a bargain too. I love the 2 antique rakes you have used for drying flowers they are perfect for the job.

This was a beautiful video, I love to see how you make the most of your lovely old house and grounds. I also enjoy the bits of history you include, I did not know that about Zinnias. Many years ago I harvested lilac blooms and had quite a quantity hung from the rafters in the main room, my hubs had to agree they were beautiful there. A couple days later I walk in from a long days work, and was meet with a horrific sour/rotting type smell...so I learned the hard way that lilacs go through a stage of drying that you DON"T want in your house! We got the place aired out, and the lilacs held their color and were great in wreaths. I agree there is something wonderful about the sight of the bundles hanging.

Thank you so much for doing these videos I really enjoy them and I love your clothes line that close dryer for in the house the old one

Lovely 😊

Nice, all those books look very interesting. Books are the best to just sit in a quiet room or outside in the porch and just read read read. Great ideas here. thanks. God Bless you. Bertha in TEXAS

Herbs is the book that started me gardening years ago. I made a circular bed with a bee skep in the middle.

Oh, I just Love those flowers!, Such a beautiful arrangement and that drying rack, What a find! I dry my herbs by hanging in my pantry except for my rosemary and I freeze that. We love rosemary chicken around here. Good luck with the drying process and Thanks for sharing.

Great video Jerry. I picked Zinnea's last year, just popped them in a vase and allowed them to dry naturally, and they looked so beautifully antique. My flowers didn't do well this year due to the severe drought, and even though it is raining now and some flowers are just staring to bloom ( they think it's June). our first frost is right around the corner, so I might not get much. Can't wait to see what you do with them...know it will be beautiful. Good haul on those books! Dale

Thank you Jeri! Would love a Bunny Topiary Tutorial!

She are amazing! Martha Stewart would be envious.

I've just discovered your channel, love it!

Thanks

Hi Jeri, I love your antique cloths drying rack. Even though, I know you don't get as much light in this room as you would like - I thought you might put a covering over the window until your flowers and herbs dry to help with them keeping more color.

I used to dry a lot of flowers in England but since living in Florida l havnt done any,incidentally l didn’t know there was a white Beauty berry,l have the hot pinky purple variety ,gorgeous colour ,

I live in a hot country and am wondering if i could dry my herbs on direct sunlight? Your herbs and flowers are amazing by the way😍

I need to gather and dry my herbs for teas.

Linda y bendecida tarde tenga 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this wonderful video, Jeri. I have one question: How do you prevent aphids and other biological "stowaways" from hitching a ride into your house? I have over 60 plants indoors and so I'm very careful about what I bring indoors. Any guidance would be appreciated!

I have just found your channel recently and I love it. I have no idea though, where in the wide world you reside. I would love to know what country and city you are in so as not to become discouraged that my plants don’t look like yours when I’m in a southwestern desert of the United States and you may be in a totally more temperate and misty climate.

Hi Jeri , love your video’s ! Just wanted to ask the name of your beautiful dog ! He or she is adorable !!!! Do you have any other dogs or cats ? I’m sure they must love wondering around your beautiful garden !!! 🌺🌻🌸

👏

I really like the white Berry’s I hope they dry well, would hairspray help them from falling off ? Get some aqua net. Lol

👍🏻@765 Beautiful arrangements....did they retain colour? 🍀

Mine were not in the dark (cause I did not know) and they were great !! Very surprised.....

I love it! How did your lambs ear turn out? I want to dry my own (:

🥰❤️❤️🥰

Do you have a flower press? My husband made one for me. I ought to go dig it out.

🌹🌸🌼🌷

May I ask what music you use for your channel?🌱

Hi there! Just beautiful work you do! May I ask how do you dry your sunflowers? I hung mine in my home, and some of them started to get mildew on the stem etc. I put the flower heads back outside in brown paper bags for now because I don’t know how to dry them correctly. Can you please help me? Thank you!
