It has not been Jess's garden since day one of y'all buying it. It's yours and Nathan's now. That's what Jess always said, she was getting that place ready for someone else to come in and be able to start gardening right away. She also said she hoped whoever got it next would do more with it. So you do what y'all want to do!

I appreciate how you honored Jess and Miah, in what you were saying about the changes y’all want to make. It wasn’t necessary, but so very kind!

That was so thoughtful to prepare those who are highly attached to that space. Another who had a true legacy garden , sold her home /garden to those thought to have a heart for the garden . However , the new owners ripped out some of the most iconic features , a week after moving in and dropped a video of it gone with no warning ! It cost those new vloggers probably thousands of potential viewers , not to mention broke a lot of hearts . So hats off to you for being so kind hearted and aware to the fact , the transforming impact spaces have on people and their hearts !

I am sure the 2 years have been great at helping you figure this out. It's good to be in the space and get to know the issues before making changes in a thoughtful and planned way. This will be exciting to watch!

Watch out where it stays so wet. We have a spot like that. And we got so much rain this year. We were mowing behind the beds, and before we came in, my son asked, " What's that on your pants?". It was a leech! Those beds are coming out!

The goal you mentioned about laying the groundwork for someone else to find progress … that’s our goal too. We have an acre here, it’s got a great back yard with a 24x24 greenhouse, and a little 20x32 ft orchard with 5 apple trees, a 20x24 herb garden, and another fenced garden, and between it all, 27 raised beds for growing all kinds of good things. We kind of imagine some “city-stuck” family with young kids finding this a dream-come-true, and another family enjoying it as much as we and our four children have.😊

I love the way you both march to the beat of a different drum! Thanks for thinking of us. However, I’m not attached to the Jess/Jeremiah way of doing things. I can’t wait to see the tear down - please take us with you! It’s your place - if it’s right for you and your family, go for it!

Morning Glory is very invasive, reroots every few feet. So be sure to get the roots, and keep checking back frequently so you can get ‘em small the second time!

🎉 This is huge news 🗞️ I remember the first time I saw you on Jess’s channel and you complimented each other because your style was completely different than her style. This was before you started your channel. However, at some point, it seemed like you started making your videos look like hers and then when you bought the farm, it seemed like you were doing as Jess would do. I’m happy to see you’re returning to your style 💯. You’re unique and it’s perfect for our world 🌎. You’re PERFECT as you are. BAZUR! ❤🎉

You and your hubby are both great stewards so I know that your hard work will pay off. I rearranged my entire raised garden this year because of animal pressure ( voles 😕). So happy I did it!!! Praying for your new spaces 🥰

🌻I am super excited to hear all of your plans and dreams. I can’t wait to see what you do along your journey to create future❣️❣️What works for the two of you and your family and for Jess and Miah were 100% right when they told you “hey it’s your farm, your house, your property”. I think it’s beautiful that the two of you asked for their approval before you bought the farm☺️. I still believe that it was a big gesture on their part to express their support like they did😍. it’s always such a positive thing to see & experience people doing the right thing, saying the right thing, and being so loving and kind and supportive of each other🤗. And like you said your needs for that Farm had some similarities and yet are very different. I’m just so excited and can’t wait to experience all that. The two of you are doing and going to be doing❣️❣️🥰🥰😘😘🪻🌷👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It's so important to make your space work for you. You are excellent stewards of the land, looking forward to how this helps with your goals for your farm.

I am just glad you kept the iron garden gate. Love it!😊

I live in the Pacific NW and I deal with Creeping Jenny in my garden beds. I've been going from bed to bed to loosen it and pull it out. I really can't believe this stuff is sold in the garden stores.

Can’t wait to see the progress! Y’all need to make the space yours. Good luck and I can’t wait to see the changes!

Honestly… when I think of your farm and your channel, I never think of the raised bed garden. I usually forget that this was roots and refuge entirely… until you’re in the kitchen. It’s definitely your farm. I say take it out.

Kudzu vine yep, I used to live in Mississippi and there was this section of Kudzu with police and all. Turned out there was a ditch and multiple cars had gone off in the ditch. The kudzu grew over it.

Jess and Miah were in a totally different place than y’all are with this garden. I’m so excited to see your improvements!!

In the 60' and 70's, the farmers were trying to get rid of the Morning Glory, and the Boy Scouts were selling Morning Glory seeds to the Farmer's wife.

Morning Glorys are beautiful but they are like trying to take a knot out of a dainty necklace once they start choking out other plants. They certainly need there own spot.

Can’t wait to hear about your dahlias. I live in Arkansas to and mine r struggling.

I don’t blame you at all for doing what you need to do to make things better with your property! Stress is not a good thing, so easing that it a great idea! I’m excited to see the changes!

You go girl love the idea you got make work for you. And give yourself grace every garden this time of year has weeds and seems a bit unmanageable...I've come to find that they too have a purpose your garden still grows and in this heat those weeds are keeping the ground cool and helping the soil. But I do feel your pain on the morning glory tired to beat out the fense with pole beans so that maybe they would take over first but now have pole morning glory ivy bean war. And Johnson grass girl am telling you now night mare. No matter how hard try keep it out comes roght back in the 2 sec takes to pull it. I've also learn be like ok so what the pos in this right now it taken over but also keep thing ground loose not compacted. So maybe there is relationship there not seen yet. But yet to see how keep from taken over. So give yourself guys every garden has a time to go crazy and have to reset it. That what great about it ya got take over with weeds while u paying more attention in harvesting and putting it away. But hey made a wonderful harvest now it jsut time rotate it out and hit the reset for something new and that will feel great. Keep up the great work you are so awesome ans all that u all have accomplished would love to keep learning and figure out way to incorporate that here. Take care and stay hydrated and sweat those toxins out

I have to say you guys have it together. You spend time looking at your farm and thinking through what will work. Having the removal of all the standing water is a good move and fixing the fence so larger equipment can enter is a major change which will definitely make your time more efficient and productive. I have to agree with Nathan, 4 hours of weed eating is a waste. And if I may suggest. We are in the same zone here in Virginia and deal with a steady heat and humidity which the horse flies and other flying pest thrive in. My solution is AVON skin so soft bath oil. These pest despise the smell which frees me from constantly battling them or having to come back inside before I am ready to. Love your plan, can't wait to see it implemented.

Super excited to see you guys taking this step! It’ll go a long way toward making that farm feel like it’s really yours. Blessings and love to you both. ❤

This is so exciting. How fun to be able to be along for the ride. Can't wait to see what it all comes out to be because plans always change

I feel your pain with the water logging .... Our ground is saturated on average 6 months of the year too and it is frustrating. I hope your able to find a manageable solution, can't wait to see what you do with the space 😊

I’m looking forward to seeing all the creativity ❤

Praying for your project and success.😊

So glad you are stepping into what works for you and the call on your life! We're cheering you on!

Looking forward to your changes !! 🤗

Love your channel and I know that I came to your channel because of Jess originally...but this is all your vision that keeps us coming back. Make the garden your own. We love your vision.

Y’all are awesome!! Thanks for always sharing the plans with us!! It helps us learn more from your thinking and planning!

Good luck with your changes that are coming!!❤😊

I thought for sure you were going to say you guys were moving! Best wishes for your future visions for the farm

Good game-plan to make your lives easier. Nice morning coffee talk, boo for the invading fly into your precious morning time and wrecking your coffee and yay for you being vigilant.

The Justin Rhodes video was probably Kudzu. It's everywhere in the south.

Good for y'all. It will be hard work but pay off in the end.

I wondered if there was an issue in the raised beds. Great to hear your future plans. Praying God continues to bless all of your endeavors.

Awesome plan!!!

Thanks for sharing. Flowers are gorgeous

The only constant in this life is change! We are all unique. What works for one is not right for someone else. No one is right, no one is wrong. Wishing you every success in all you do. 💕💕🌻🌻

WOW!! MAJOR CHANGE.... Best of luck making it your own.❤😊

It’s your farm! I think this a great update!

A tip I learned from a videographer, my brother, SHOWING is far superior than telling. I would have like to have SEEN what you were talking about. Anyway, thank you.

Yup Southeast Mississippi here… kudzu , Chinese Tallow (popcorn trees) , Cogan grass & Morning glory is insane here

I think it sounds like a good plan! Looking fwd to seeing the progress!! ❤

I think that makes sense🤗🇨🇦

I had a morning glory grow THROUGH the cement wall in the basement ( into the bedroom). ( Oregon coast). I no longer live there, but that was intriguing for sure.

I’m in SE Arkansas, the heat is horrible

Thanks for the discussion and heads up. Also, I had to chuckle at the temperature discussion at the end. This heat we have all been dealing with has caused a change in what I appreciate. Never before have I looked at the 2-week forecast and said, "Yay, it will only be 100's and 101's after the cold front on Monday!"

I planted morning glory one year 😂😂😂😂..... learned quickly how fast and well it grows..... spent a few months ripping it out of the bed.... but it was a beautiful late summer flower

Thanks for that info about Dahlias. I've been putting off getting into them, but it sounds like I should have gone for it with them this year - because WET is what we got up here in NY. I do look forward to the day my garden is full of them. (But I dread having to lift them every year - that's why I've been putting them off, until other projects are finished)

I think you guys are doing a great job. I can’t wait to see how the dahlias do. I grow things in my zone that don’t belong here. When God blesses you with an idea, you do it with his blessing.

I remember Jess sloshing through the mud, and I agree that it is very important to have systems in place. Work smarter not harder right! I have hoses everywhere and I know that if I had systems in place it would be easier as well as safer! Oh, and thank you I received Otis today! I’m looking forward to baking sourdough when it cools off a bit more🙏😊

Exciting changes! Streamlining is one of my constant goals!

Tear it up! Y’all every thing y’all do for your farm just makes it more yours. Please make it yours

Trumpet vine is another invasive vine. A runner traveled all the way under our 30 foot long cement slab patio and came up on the other side.

hey Boss Lady - word of advice: Own It!

Speaking of morning glory, I purposely planted it this year and I'm not regretting yet but I think I'm about to make some changes on that. I want to say that if you or Nathan ever need a hand or some extra muscle for one of your projects, just know I'm always willing to help out. I really appreciate all the information ya'll put out and it's helped me get motivated to grow bigger. Great stuff ya'll

Jill- I met your friend Shawn today at the Ozark homesteaders conference in Springfield, Mo. Such a nice guy.

I am also from Mississippi.

hugs from pam and john keep it coming on video iam gald see you all a gain i ben busy

Vick’s vaporub dabbed like perfume, neck, wrists, ankles, back of knees, etc…will ward off mosquitoes.

Y'all are awesome 👍

Just throwing this out here, self watering hydroponics is really great for large automation. Or Beto buckets which incorporates some hydroponic but there’s growing medium being used but it’s “clean growing medium“

Howdy!

You do what you need to do. Wood doesn't last forever.

We’re northwest of Springfield MO and it’s supposed to go down to the 80s Sunday. I hope.

As Miah and Jess said - it is your place now. You have to make it work for you guys. Morning Glorys are very invasive. So is Kudzu. Were I lived in SC years ago, kudzu was bad. I understand about near a AF base with planes flying low. My ex was AF, so we have lived on the AF base. Now I live 2 miles from a ANG base that does live training. We deal with helicopters flying around all the time as well as hearing the live shooting which some times shake the house.

We plan spaces with similar thoughts in mind. Let me pose a thought to you though. You mention wanting to have those systems in place for the next person also. Consider that the next person might lean more towards a home garden rather than a business. I think what I'm getting at is, make it work for you regardless of who might come along next.

Is it morning glory or is it bindweed (if bindweed) every tiny piece can root and it keeps coming back if you dont dig it all out, or keep on top of it.

When we lived in Illinois many years ago it was against the law to plant morning glory. The purpose was to keep that invasive plant out of the cornfields as it destroys machinery and harvests as it winds its way into those fields. Excited to see your property transformation and happy you have a plan that works for you. I feel the same way about giving gifts. Once I give it to you it is no longer mine and I have no say in whether you keep it and love it or pass it on. I'm good either way. just don't keep it and pretend to love it.

Mine is wisteria, my farm was built in 1939 it sat empty for 10 years when we bought it. The stuff had killed several trees. I can’t get rid of the stuff

❤❤❤❤❤

Kudzu!! Everywhere down here! Lol

Mirroring effect - you have Morning Glory and I have Bamboo runner problems that if not dealt with will cost me financially. You're redesigning your space and ripping things out. I'm ripping out the majority of my diseased Hydrangeas and planning vegetable raised beds in the space. Time of year I think. Oh, Mosquitoes, yeah we have them too. Good Luck your end!!! I'm in the UK.

Yep in winter we are drowning

Jill do you have a mosquito repellent, can't use the ones sold. Allergic to it. Hope cooler weather hurries up .

Hey y'all, Did you know they brought the Kudzu to Mississippi for soil erosion back in the 1930's and no they been fighting it ever since. I really hope that this works for you. Y'all have been thinking, planning and praying I'm sure. I like the idea and hope you get the plan together and start the process. Y'all got that terrible heat there for days and weeks at a time. We here in the frozen state of Minnesota had two days in a row of 98° F with heat index of 112° F. The thing is ain't no body here any where near ready for that. We will go from this to -24° F this winter about a 122° swing. We have avg 13 days above 90° F this summer we have over 30. We seem to have 90% or more almost every morning this summer because of the 10,000 lakes. I will pray for y'all that God gives you the clarity to see His desire for you and He shows you the plans He has for your family. The grace to make the best decisions and the faith to lean on Him in the hard times. Be safe drink water and then drink some more. bye for now

❤

It's Kudzoo.

In the last 2 videos that you upload im not able to hear anything, but i guess its only me. I went back to old videos and everything is fine.. 😢

I didn't know about the drainage problem, but you need to fix that. And labor-intensive design that garden has isn't for you. So, access for equipment to help you makes a lot of sense to me. I can't wait to see you make it happen. I was wondering about using drain tiles instead of a trench.

Come on Jill, the fly is protein. lol I would pour it out for sure

Farmers here in California fight morning glory in their crops every year they despise it, it’s absolutely invasive and will take over a field of corn wheat or cotton really fast

I'm unable to hear your sound all I'm getting is fizz. I can hear your commercials with no problem

Oh, my lord, Jill and Nate, I have no sound😢

😊 more like a breeding ground😂

Can’t hear anything but fizz

??? Why oh why would you try to grow plants so far from your zone??? that's stupid. but your time and pride.
