  • Yes, I would love a monthly podcast for homesteading reminders for the upcoming month. Enjoy your videos!
  • @jeannegroh-gk2yr
    Thank you Melisa❤ When my husband became ill, I ask the Lord to help me to find knowledge. You have taught me so much, from food, my garden....So many things. I am truly grateful for you❣️ 9:48
  • @lindaburris1968
    I like your idea of taking us along as you order your herbs.

    Oh my word. Melissa,can I just come and live with you?? I will turn 69 years old later this month,Lord willing. Have been a Registered Nurse for 38 years,now retired,but keep my license up to date. I really did not think of/nor take time for herbs,other than some that I cook with, until about a year ago. And it overwhelms me, absolutely overwhelms me. I would like to know so much but I don’t think I have it in me lol. I really don’t have the money to pay for seminars and stuff or I would do it. Gracious I’m trying very hard to keep up with you. But I don’t know if this old brain can do it or not lol. Whether I can keep up or not, I want you to know that you’re doing a wonderful service to the world actually. Helping thousands upon thousands of families get healthier. Thank you for that.💕 Ok,Didn’t see the link for your ebook?? Please direct me there 😢

    As someone in the teaching profession I can definitely confirm that you have the gift of teaching! But you probably already know that. Also, I was happy to have all my tinctures and teas ready to go for colds and flus thanks to Doc Jones' advice when I came down with a nasty cold this week. It would be great to see the cycle of gathering, preserving/tincturing, storage, when to discard because they are no longer effective (not a lot of people talk about that part), etc.

    Jesus Thank You for this woman. Please bless her with great health and a great harvest, with enough to share in Your Name Amen.

    Hi Melissa! I just subscribed to your channel. I've watched a lot of your videos and always learn. Usually watch on Roku so am seldom on-line in order to subscribe and/or comment. Today I decided I had to come on. Thanks for the encouragements you share - especially the Biblical input - you are a blessing! I would love to follow along on your progressive journey with your herbal gardening. I chuckled a little when you said you and your husband have gardened 25 years. My husband and I just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary (12/29) and we planted our first garden the following spring of 1974! We've learned so much over the years, have loved every step of the journey and are thrilled to still be physically able to do what we love - God has been so good! While I've grown lots of herbs and many of them are medicinal, I still feel a little uncertain in this huge field of herbal medicine. Always exciting to still be learning in our 70's! Thanks!

    I love herbs and every year try to add more. Certain ones, I just buy small plants. It took me 3 years on Lavender, but each year I kept trying. Now I have a plant that comes back on it's own. Last year I started foraging more and making my own tentures. Today I was watching Carol and she had a guest speaker on her show. They talked about growing herbs for chickens, I thought that was interested.
  • @melyoung5486
    We would love to see more behind the scenes on future videos.
  • @amysheplee6666
    Melissa, you are a treasure! I have followed you for a while & really benefit from your “teachings.” You are a wealth of knowledge to those of us striving to live a better life. I would definitely appreciate month to month guidance. I live in Minnesota, and would also benefit from zone advice & help. Thank you for all you do, it’s a lot. Just KNOW you are helping so many people. The Spiritual aspect included, is an added blessing and bonus!❤
  • @elisasmith1609
    Love this content melissa!!! Keep this sort of stuff coming. I struggle with herbs because it's hard to know which plant to plant which way, how to harvest that particular one, how to best preserve that one, etc.
  • @KathyFitz1113
    I’m currently using the comfrey poultice from your website on hubby’s broken toe. Wow! The healing has been amazing!!! I have plenty of plants but need to preserve more for next winter. 😉
  • I would enjoy seeing a topic walked thru start to finish like medicinal herbs etc. This year will be my first garden with a concentrated effort to add medicinal herbs. Although I have many books that I’ve collected, and I follow many channels who offer amazing information, sometimes seeing a topic gone through with a breakdown of the processes and seeing work in process is helpful for those who learn by doing. You are amazing and so appreciated. Have a wonderful day. Thank you for the video.
  • @nicolegolczynski
    I’d love a walk through of what you’re doing and when. I’m in the growing zone above you so that would be perfect. It will give me a little time to get things done right behind you. 😊
  • I Love your Bible verses and faith. It's hard to find those willing to put it out there now-a -days.❤ 🙏 Gifts of the spirit are meant to be used for good, and we sometimes fall down on our duty. It's wonderful to hear your thoughts on this and your reminder to think on our own gifts and using them for good.
