    I have been watching you since you were mango island mama and had like 20k subscribers. You’re the only CZcamsr I’ve kept up with and actually watch your entire videos wo skipping. You’re an amazing contribution to this planet and I have so much respect for you. I am visiting Maui rn for 2 weeks and was just telling my bf about you and how if I had wanted kids, you are the example of how I would have wanted to live. Thank you for your gentle parenting, kindness to the animals, and deep respect for Mother Nature and our planet. I am glad comments finally opened so I could express my gratitude for you🙏🏼❤️✨

    A tip from a fellow gardener, plant mint separately in a large pot a hit further away from your main garden bed because in my case it grows so easy and everyday there are new spores and it's overtaking the garden completely 🤣

      @@annazolotareva2368 Not obvious. But thanks for clarifying. She probably should refer to her new growth as suckers or shoots, rather than sprouts or 'spores'. Unless she's having trouble with seedlings from not dead-heading last year's blooms and those are the pernicious 'everyday sprouts'.

    Ellen this video was one of my favorites I loved seeing you and Andrew prep for food you make from scratch! I also just wanted to point out when you made the banana bread and told your kids “take however much you want “ just tugged at my heart. That’s something as a kid I never heard , it was always “just a little” , the size of your fist only, no seconds.. which lead me at a very young age to have binge eating disorder and still as an adult struggle with it. So just hearing you say those words to your kids yet was so simple and you probably say that all the time when making meals but I took it as just such a loving place from a Mother 🤍🥺✨

      I once had the sweetest elderly woman say that she takes hair from her hairbrush and lays it around the garden to prevent the deer from eating her veggies. Apparently they will think a human is nearby and will avoid, so she says, but she has had success with that for years!

    Deer do not like garlic and cayane pepper. You can make a spray, and spray it around your garden. You could also plant garlic. Anything that has a strong scent that isn't sweet. Deer have a much higher sense of smell then we do and they like that sweet earthy smells. You can also make a topper for your garden bed. I made one using old window screens. Allows the light and water to come in, but the deer and other creatures can not get in.

    An idea for the deer if it is still a problem - take a knee high nylon and fill with dog hair (you can always get brushed dog hair from a neighbor) and hang the nylons around the garden area. This is supposed to work for rabbits as well. Have watched you and Andrew for years (since Sandy was very young) and love the peace that I feel from watching your videos.
