    This gave me some great ideas for my own garden! I just pruned a bunch of fruit trees and I was wondering what I could do with all those branches…

    Jenny was superb!! I remember going to Colonial Williamsburg when I was a young girl with my parents. Loved it and always wanted to go back.

    Table trellis!!! That’s it, that’s what my grandfather used to grow his huge tomatoes on. As a child I would crawl underneath the trellis like it was a cave or fort. Now 40 years later, I’m gonna give it a try!

    Wormwort can cure any types of cancer , juice it or boil for tea

    This is great.ย  Thanks for sharing— all really helpful information and even I, with my gardening handicap, really want to break out the seed catalog now!

    I wouldn’t go consuming pennyroyal. Not only is it an abortifacient, it’s highly toxic to the liver.



  12. edward thor on April 19, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    Blessings for you!!!!

    I wish I had you as a teacher. Oh man, we would have gotten some better materialization of NATURAL ORDER REAL LIFE SKILLS, instead of being slaves for shit jobs!!!!



  15. edward thor on April 19, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    She is HOT and Beautiful!!!!!! How can I MOTIVATE YOU TO WORK WITH ME?!!!!!!!!!!
    Where can I meet you and other White Girls that actually have a brain for themselves and know how to do Real Life Skills in Natural Order and actually do live life by doing Real Work?!!!! Blessings to me and you against all the lazy asses destroying life!

    I am desperate to re-start my micro-mini-homestead project after being forced from the land last February 2019 on Staten Island, by ny shitty/tarrie.
    I need someone to help with land and I need qualified interested candidates to volunteer to learn and live on to build-up a homestead. I would prefer some place with clean air and Warner but at least clean air.
    It is a lot of work and we can’t have any slackers as the main participants. And unfortunately unless you are one to bring in the lump sum of money or the land then we are still stuck out in the social work too damned much.
    Goodness,
    EddieSasquatch

    Wonderful tour. And the garden is pristine, not a weed in sight (I link hopped to here from a PBS show about a pioneer garden that was weedier than my pasture, and my pasture is mostly weeds). The various kinds of trellising were lovely, too, because seeing pictures isn’t the same as hearing a gardener share what is going on with them, and what they’re made of.

    I didn’t see anyone comment on this: *Lovage* is a perennial culinary herb and gives a very "brothy" flavor to soups. It was used in Europe in commercial seasoning mixes before MSG became widespread in the 1970’s.

    I’m an omnivore, but for vegetarian or vegan kitchens, it can lend another layer of "umami" to soups and stews. We used it a lot in Scandinavia. It’s called "libbsticka" in Swedish. It is said to be an aphrodisiac, but what to me is interesting, is that its root is supposed to be an _aquaretic_ , which is a type of pharmaceutical that removes water from the body without electrolyte loss, as opposed to the more common class of _diuretic_ drugs.

    Of course there should be a disclaimer that I’m not a trained medical professional, so do your own research. Just because I have ancestors who were tried for witchcraft, and I dabble in herbalism doesn’t mean I am an expert, quite the opposite. I often consult my in-law who is a pharmacist if I need cold, hard, answers.

    Not documentary style at all.



  19. aikitherese on April 19, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    Oh nice!! ย I need to get down there now that I’ve moved to Richmond. ย I forgot about the gardens down there. ย Nice video!



  20. John Bergeron on April 19, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    What a beautiful garden and so knowledgeable thank you



  21. edward thor on April 19, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    I will have to watch this several times. Struggling to get my self awake and functional against lung, lymph, and maybe adrenal symptoms from the intense air pollution and mold plus the plastic toxins out of the rental car. I am definitely scared of the coffee and tee for agricultural toxins and radiation but too much coffee very quickly aggresses me attempting to get some awakeness to find what works.



  22. Dab Lelong on April 19, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Very good pointers on varied selection



  23. D Isaac Faddis on April 19, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    Comfrey makes an excellent drawing/healing salve. It has been studied for it’s ability to stimulate skin cell regeneration & for drawing out infections. My son used it for drawing out brown recluse venom & I used it to heal a cyst on my wife’s back. Wonderful stuff.



  24. MIGUEL RAMOS JR Queen on April 19, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    I want to be one



  25. Jims Garden project on April 19, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    At 16:24 what did she say is the name of the mosquito deterring plant?



  26. Kimberlyn Hughes on April 19, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Be aware that St.John’s Wort can make birth control pills ineffective!! My grandmother’s best friend’s daughter got pregnant at age 40 taking it!!! Big Surprise!!!



  27. muhammad tariq on April 19, 2022 at 6:55 pm

  29. edward thor on April 19, 2022 at 6:57 pm

  30. redherring on April 19, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    She was a wonderful guide! She really knows her stuff.



  31. edward thor on April 19, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    That tomatoes table is an awesome technique. It shows how the establishment has tried to destroy our oral traditions and make us dependent on their shit social ordered and be blinded to being in a system game totally extraverted and hypnotized into a market economy indo kaste



  32. Yuli Widiyastuti on April 19, 2022 at 7:00 pm

  33. Linda M Johnson on April 19, 2022 at 7:02 pm

  34. Chris on April 19, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    Awesome! Great job Jenny!
