    I remember last april. I had 60 Cornish cross on pasture when those two northerns came through and I lost many

  2. Priceless Stitching

    Hi Jill, good to see you!! I still havent started my seeds yet! 😱 just so much stuff going on plus it has been so cold! I will get to it this week though!

    Hi my gorgeous Jilly, such a good video, your pictures of your garden veggies, everything looked good and healthy, I remember you fighting the drought last summer, very informative, you go girl!, live it a, xoxoxo

  10. Cindy Briggs

    I’m glad I found you. It would be helpful to link the previous videos you’re mentioning for us newbies 🥰

  11. M. Bloomburger

    I found your channel by accident but I am so glad that I did because I'm planning to move to Amarillo by the end of the year . I'm from Illinois but I have the Texas spirit in my heart .

  12. Intentionally Made

    I am SO happy I found your channel. I moved to North TX from central tx and soil is a lot different. We live on ten acres and have sandy soil but I do believe it’s going to work well after I implement more of the back to eden method. I have a very large and flat area that will be used for our vegetable garden and a few fruit bushes. It gets full sun so I’m really happy about it. It’s also going to be in a Completely different section then our house. I’ll have easy access herbs by my house. The biggest thing I’ll have to work on is keeping it deer and critter proof and of course get it prepared. Right now it’s in the planning process. I have gardened before but this is our dream homestead and my goals are much different this time. Can’t wait to learn from you!

    I tossed my live oak leaves in my raised vegetable beds in the fall (I didn't mulch them 1st though). Would you recommend leaving them there and till them into the beds or remove them before tilling? I'm in FTW and starting to think how I want to prep my soil. Thanks in advance for any advice!😁

    So glad I found your channel. I'm in Fort Worth and want a better garden this year, last year was a bust, everything burned up. I did get started late though so that didn't help. All I grow is tomatoes and peppers, both large and small tomatoes, and both bell and hot peppers. Like you say everything else is fairly cheap and hardly worth growing. I think I'll do the alternate pepper and tomato row system. I didn't know about hot peppers growing next to bell peppers making the bell peppers hot, that was a surprise. That was when I lived with my mom out in Pittsburg, Texas on lake Bob Sandlin, we had an excellent garden with tomatoes, peppers, eggplant galore, okra, watermelon, with nothing more than tilling the soil and keeping the plants well watered with lake water. I think that might have been the secret, lake water. Thank you for sharing your know how with us, good luck this year. God Bless.

    Hello I’m a new Gardner in north Texas area. I am so excited to find your channel! I will be doing my first veggie garden with you this year. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and making these videos. God Bless!

    I moved from Texas to Canada… gardening learning curve extreme! Can't put anything in the dirt til June! I start tomatoes and peppers in Late March, Cole crops in late April, and squash in early May. All indoors 🤣! I transplant in June and have earlier harvests than most around here.

  17. Cam Spr

    I'm a transplant from MT (which has a very short growing season, so I know what to do, when to do it UP THERE..lol) I come down to TX, and have no clue whatsoever..!! Glad I found your channel! Your garden looks great!

  18. Terry Glendening

    Thank you for video. Brain injury can't weed through all info out there. Just too much! If you plant carrots cabbage broccoli spinach beets cucumber beans and peas, what you group together? I have 2 beds 3 by six (trellis available) and pots (8-12 inches). Please help if you can. Thanks so much!

  21. Snipe

    I planted my first garden this year, made plenty of mistakes, but learning a lot. Wish I would have found your channel sooner! Will look through some more of your videos as well.

  23. Me Turner

    There seems to be a lack of mentoring opportunities out there for us… so when we say thank you for your detailed advice, we mean it from one North Texan to another. God bless your family. Hope to be able to say thank you in person one day in the future. Until then, happy gardening!

    My husband and I have been deep in our Bibles this year, and I have felt the Holy Spirit really pushing me to start learning how to grow my own food. Last year was my first year. We rent a small house, so we had to do a container garden. I started with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bush beans, bell peppers, basil, lavender, daisys and marigolds. Well, almost none of it germinated! My cherry tomatoes were troopers. They were super abundant. I only got ONE edible bell pepper. And that’s it. I cried a lot. I really studied and planned and put my heart in it. I’m trying again this year! We do live in north Texas and I do believe it was just too hot for most of my plants and that’s why they never produced fruit. We have shade this year. Any advice for container gardening? Or advice for what plants I should attempt this spring?

    What on earth do you do about the stink bugs and squash vine borers? Those stink bugs trashed my blackberries, and the borers get my squash every time. (And the rabbits ate my personal watermelons.)

  27. Olivia Cruz

    All seeds sold to the public are Non GMO. Saying nonGMO seeds is like saying gluten free chicken. Lol

  29. Jennifer Wade

    Wonderful video, thank you so much for sharing! I grew up myself in the North Texas area. I was raised in Sherman, Texas.

  30. Denise Flores

    I just subscribed to this channel because I'm working on my first raised bed garden this week. It's a bit late to start but watching endless videos on here with advice is making me feel a bit better. I'm way down in south Texas but all of your videos are wonderful!

  31. Auntie Madder

    This is so helpful. Thank you for posting it.

    I planted a small garden this spring for the first time ever and learned some things. I'm going to take what I learned and what you've shared here into my garden plans for next year.

  33. Sandra Richardson

    This is one of the most well rounded and succinct pieces of information for beginning gardening I could ever imagine. Well planned and well delivered. One of these days I'll have my act together as well as you, Jill!! Have a great cold day. Jesus bless.

  34. C Hamilton

    I'm thrilled to have come across this channel. I just subscribed!! Im in North Texas Zone 8a and we bought our soil from living earth for our raised beds. We've had
    successful gardens in the past years. We have reworked our entire garden this year and I just got a green house and I'm excited to start my own seeds. We grow organically as well, so I really appreciate your words of experience. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.

  36. Anita Diaz

    I'm starting my small vegetable garden here in North Texas and I found your channel, it's been very helpful. One question, if you don't use any insecticide or herbicides which I would like to avoid too, then how do I keep the bugs away from my plants?
    Thanks for your videos appreciate them!

  37. Melinda Hester
