Yes! ❤

I call it "homestyle." My family hates when I start out saying we're having "homestyle ___."

Lol literally me

Mia Bergström Oh wow! What a great tip, thanks!

AMAZING tip, thank you ❣️

What a great tip! Thank you

I am so going to try this. What a fabulous idea.

Mind blown, great tip!

yeah - I'm wondering, if the water for the sun chokes is still running :D

i get distracted all the time too! just crackin me up sweetie!

Makes me feel more normal seeing her do it, happens to me every day 😃🤣

I do the same. Its worse when I go to the kitchen only to forget why.

, what movie I missed this part and I'm thinking tomatoes are you talking about Fried Green Tomatoes I can't think of any other Tomato movie so I don't know maybe I'm on the wrong track clue me in please

@@rebccarae7669 the movie - "Julie and Julia" A REALLY GOOD movie! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. In this video Jess was talking about it, and her relationship with the movie.

Mickayla O That was my favorite line today-made me snort.

@@kirtabets And seconds later she was like "this little chicken is the *worst*" - I was cracking up 😂

I need to watch again, asap. 😁

My twin set A cucumbers battle my twin set B cucumbers for who gets to terrorize the tomatoes. I constantly find myself lecturing them as I move them back to the trellis for bullying the tomatoes. 😂

He’s actually nabbed a few but spits them out when they burst in his mouth!

@@RootsandRefugeFarm 😊

Sorry for your loss.

@@ElderandOakFarm thank you.

@@allthenuts9179 I have 2 dogs. My husband and I apopted them from the humane society (1st 1, then another so she had a friend) before we had kids, and they were, & still are- like our children. I couldn't imagine! 😔

That sounds SO yummy!!!

For standing out in the garden eating I have a small shaker of tajin seasoning its so yummy! Back when I could eat hot hot i used to use a Cajun seasoning. Tony Chacheres i think is the brand. Has a cute little guy in a chef hat on the label.

Great tip! Thanks!!! ♡

Oh wow- Duh! Yes- thanks for sharing 😎

I like that.

Carole Lyle White I know, right?

Ellen Reilley yeah! Awesome 👏🏼

So true, cant wait to see what all they get accomplished while he is there helping.

John Liberty I live as far in southwestern Virginia as far as you can get, have family just out of Hope AR and Dallas TX; going through Tennessee is the major part of the trip. When my children were little they would continually ask if we were out of TN yet. Also they would groan, “Not ANOTHER Caney Fork River, does it ever end or is it following us.”

Oh my! You'll think I'm a heathen then. I put green olives and fire roasted red sweet peppers in with the onion and garlic lol. Its never the same thing twice🙃🤣

That’s the thing with bruschetta , the skies the limit as long as you have fresh produce.

Never tried with shallots, I must then.

Cathy: Since you enjoy salt, like I do, have you tried Sea salt? It tastes so much better, & is said to be healthier too. I grind up Pink Himalayan, my favorite so far, or Celtic gray in a mortar & pestle, & transfer it to a small, covered plastic container. (Need a new grinder.)

@@cherylanderson3340 literally all I use. I love near the sea and I get it local

Lol. For me I dont like tomatoes raw and here I am with 90 beautiful tomato plants this year!! Love tomatoes in things....

Ke Le: If your kitchen sink is near a window, & you can open that window & lift up the screen, you can feed a garden hose of the correct diameter, through that window. Unscrew the aerator or screen off the end of the kitchen faucet. You can find a hose to fit your faucet by bringing the screen or aerator from home to the hardware department to find a garden hose female end that fits the threads of your kitchen faucet. Next, buy an adjustable spray end with an on/off feature, & attach to the male end of the hose. Put it on off. Best to water early in the day when soil & roots are at their coolest. If soil is warm or hot but you must water, turn on some warm water to mix & slightly warm up the cold tap water, so it won't shock hot plants with cold water. Most likely, you'll need to find a lightweight hose with a narrow diameter to match the sink faucet, or change the kitchen fixture. If hose won't reach garden areas, either buy more hose or fill buckets or large watering cans from the too short hose in the meantime so you won't have to carry it that far - meaning over the entire distance.. Turn the kitchen cold water on full, if AM watering just as sun is rising. Water soil thoroughly, but, not on the flowers or the leaves to prevent mildew. For the same reason, avoid watering late in the day. It's best if leaves & stems have dried off before nightfall, when temps may drop. If it's really hot out, but you must water, you'll want to mix in some hot water so plants aren't shocked by a much colder water on their roots & stems, & again try to water the soil deeply, but don't do what I used to do - thinking the plants would love to be showered well to cool them down. I lost my roses that way. They were a few months old, looking great & blooming. The next day I saw that I'd damaged all the beautiful flowers. Later, due to my evening watering, a ritual I enjoyed as it was so peaceful for me, after my family had enjoyed their supper, so I had that nice time to spend with my new gardens & it felt good to water everything. I'd imagined, by sunrise, they'd all be full of water & bear up under the hot sun. Instead, all my roses were soon covered with powdery mildew - which can kill a plant. Shock is a type of stress & stress in general, makes plants more vulnerable to pests & diseases. Mildew spores are in the soil, so when we water, it's best to water them by drip irrigation, or at least, if limited to a hose or watering can, to try to water so as we're not splashing soil up onto the lower stems & leaves of the plants. Some plants are more vulnerable than others, so it's best to just avoid letting water spray onto their lower leaves. If possible, feed the garden hose in through the open window, close the screen as much as possible, without crimping the hose, & temporarily stuff an old towel or crumpled up newspapers or paper bags to fill in the opened window space where screen is raised up, to keep insects from entering the house through that opening. Then go out & turn the water on, & run it a while test to see if it's extremely hot from lying in the sun. You don't want to scald your plants or your tender feet in flip flops, or your hands. Hopefully you are able to do this, until you can get an outdoor spigot.

Same! I can't connect a hose to the kitchen sink either as it's a square tap. My little garden tripled in size this year and it's taking me over an hour a day to water, so I feel your pain! Getting an outside tap fitted asap now people are working again after lockdown (I'm in the UK). A hose would be a huge luxury right now haha.

@@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden Then too there's the passive collection of water running off our rooves, which can be channeled into rain collection barrels raised up on cinder blocks. This allows gravity to irrigate our garden beds, but I never got around to do that. I get good ideas then promptly forget them - so good now to be remembering, as we do have droughts. Not as extreme as where my brother lives, in Colorado, which is in a dire situation, year after year. Here in the states not all are allowed to do this - ie: CO. I live in Massachusetts & we usually have a generous amount of precipitation year 'round, so I've yearned for a cistern, but never took that step. complacency on my part, it seems, to lose track of the fact that we may have years of drought again.

I had to do that last year with my 14 tomato plants. Thankfully it rained a lot. This year we finally got a new spigot out back but of course my garden was a complete flop and now I have nothing to water lol. Oh well my kids are loving the hose.

@@MB-vi8zp Well you're in luck - it's a good time now to plant again! Depending on your zone, you may have enough good growing days left to direct sow now & squeeze in a fall harvest. You'll need to protect new seedlings from the fierce sun with shade cloth, & keep them watered, but it might be fun to try again.

Thank you!!!!

whats the book title? im new here. need to pre-order! loving this channel and the content, has me fired up for ALLLLL the gardening.

With some crumbled goats cheese ....... Yummy !

Oooh yes, I've never tried Rachel Ray's brand, but balsamic reduction is a great addition to bruschetta!

Sounds great!

Lori Palczer’s Homestead well now I’m hungry 💚

I’m in southeastern pa and I’m having to go spray my greenhouse container veggies with cool water mid-day. If I’m out a little late things are wilty. This is on top of watering in the morning and checking before bed. It is HOT and has been for days.

Boy, it's just hot all over... Central Texas (Near Austin) - Humidity - 44% Current temp at 3:30pm - 97° Heat Index - 102° (for those that are lucky enough to not know heat index - that means "it feels like" 101°) My feeling about going outside: It's like opening the oven door... now I'm going back INSIDE!! Bcuz - Thank God for Air Conditioning!!! ♡

97 degrees and 81% humidity in Virginia today :( July is so brutal! Hang in there friends!

YIKES! Virginia - 81% humidity!!! Ok, you're winning!! (Maybe it IS the humidity... ) Must be like walking thru a hot cloud...

@@gardengatesopen when its as hot and humid as we all are feeling, we ALL lose lol no winners here! it finally rained here so that's where part of that came in, but it hit 100 degrees for 3 straight days here and that's super rare for us!

Aleasha Miles LOL!!! Mine too 🥰

Girl. Same.

Aleasha Miles it’s a way of Life!!! ❤

I have a black dane who is 4 also! Her name is Leia. She was crazy when she was a puppy but now she is a lazy pup. She doesn’t get bothered by anything and is always following me around. Velcro dog

@@ajeldrez777 - There are so many similarities! Titus has been pretty high energy and velcroed to me, I keep waiting for slow down!! He can be out all day but the minute I go out to care for the horses or even act like I'm going out, he's all about being with me! They are awesome dogs!

When the Great Danes run they sound like a horse galloping ❣️

I had a black dane a couple of years ago named Faulkner. I still miss him so much. My friend called him the "band-aid" because he was stuck on me -- lol.

If you haven’t seen James Pigeoni and his food forest channel, you MUST!

Same here. My Ridgebacks always try to get in the "berry garden" and harvest everything. Except the currants, they are probably too fiddley or too sour for them :D

zsazsa bodine “ carrot bone “ is my favorite thing I’ve read all day 💚 I have 7 German Shepherds and I will be using this term 👍

@@Just-Nikki 😊 Carrot bones, bell pepper bones, apple bones. Haha. That's the only treats she gets. 7 German Shepherds? That's a handful. LOL. We had shepherds when we were kids and our Heidi had 12 puppies! Good times. Then I had my sweet "Kojak," the best shepherd ever. Just a big beautiful baby.

The worst was the awful days this time of year when you'd see the thunderheads in the distance and they'd never make it. Or the evenings as a kid when you'd see the lightning or hear thunder and no matter how much your parents said it was heat lightning you were sure a storm was coming but it didn't.

It’s getting to be that way just now here in NY. I live up close to one of the Great Lakes (lake Ontario) but still in the city so all this black top and the sun and then the humidity from 3 minute rainstorms lol and no AC..... oh my goodness, oh well at least I have the saving grace of a very shady backyard. 3 large trees that line the side of my yard and their branches hang out over half of the yard completely. Now I just need to find a way to get rid of the biting flies 🤨🤨🤨

Oven-dry them with olive oil & seasonings. Store in the freezer or can them in oil. Tastes like CANDY!!

I do that! Cooked in the oven, low and slow, with olive oil and some kosher, pink, or Celtic salt. Even fam members that do not like tomatoes scarf them down!

Oh and I freeze them in bags. Favorite way to use them is on pizza instead of sauce! So. Good.

If you are going to make tomato sauce, you can throw in the cherry tomatoes with the regular tomatoes when putting them through the mill.

I love to speak other languages, it is great exercise for the brain, and my favourite aspect is learning the accent/pronunciation, learning to roll my r's in speaking french was such a challenge, now I'm a pro ;-) Thanks for this, n future I won't be able to say bruschetta without over pronouncing the "broooooo skettttttta" :-)

I’m gonna second this, though the way Jess said it is pretty much ubiquitous in the states (at least away from the coasts).

@@edelcj Nice to learn that after 25 years, lol. (And it IS great brain-exercise!)

Years ago when I was in Italy I learnt that! I thought it was neat, but people look at you weird if you say it like that here in North America. So I reverted back to the American pronunciation so people would stop thinking I'm trying to be pretentious lol.

Ihave heard fluent Italians all call it different...I wonder if there is dialects...

same! when she addressed it in this video I laughed so hard, knowing I wasn't the only one with a mind in the gutter as she says LOL

Hahaha, now Sweet Miah ALWAYS hears and sees the things I don't. Its a bit of a joke around here and Im constantly saying "Yeah I walked right into that one."
