Let's see if I can even... can we cross a leg? Of course!
If we cross our legs, does that make it a little wider?
I don't think you can see our knees to tell you the truth.
Well, that's okay, but we are making more room.
Is there any, oh, oh, I see, it's solid on the side, so you can't
like... Yeah, I know, it's not like an airplane chair. That's true...
Can I? Oh yeah, can you give me one.. Can I put an arm around... Can you do, tilt? who
She met, Jeana,met, no, see, got to do that again,
Try to put too much in a sentence and you mess it up. I had
zero confidence that we were gonna go with the one take. Well, you'd never know
I drove for five hours today, would ya? Don't I look just totally refreshed? You do.
Springtime fresh. I am in Boyd County, which is Ashland,
Kentucky, basically, and this is Angie, who is my Late Bloomer fan of about a year
now and this is my brand-new Late Bloomer fan, Jeana, and we are in Jeana's
lovely home on her lovely porch, and they met together in master gardener class,
and we're gonna have a quick conversation about their class and
how they got connected, and and, um,
and then, what're we going to do? No clue. So ladies,
tell me how you met in your class. Definitely Angie's question. My husband
and I looked into signing up last year but we were too late to start the class
so we signed up this year and that's when we met Jeana. We came in and sat
down and she came in and sat behind us. I think we had some some similar things in
common and our personalities are kind of similar. We're both very inquisitive and
very open and have a passion for gardening. You, Angie, are from this area
you're living in the house that you grew up in, and you're a new transplant, right,
to Kentucky all together? Yes. And how did you wind up in Kentucky? My husband
and I moved here when he got a new job. We moved from Houston to here. You got
this big yard and you said I'm gonna have a great garden...
Absolutely! I wanted to come here and garden, something that I didn't have very
much opportunity to do before because we were always living overseas. Didn't you
say that your grandfather... My father was speaking to me, after he passed away.
He was a very big gardener. It was this biggest passion in life. My
dad would put coveralls on, he would go outside and he would work from the
minute he got home until he couldn't see. He'd come in for dinner and people would
ask to speak to Dr. Bissonnette and he'd say I am Dr. Bissonnette, and they said,
no, no, Dr. Bissonnette. I am Dr. Bissonnette. They thought he was the gardener. I think
he loved being a doctor, but he also loved sick plants. He loved to help, help
them get back to, to healthiness, so that was the same general ability, diagnostic
ability. I think my dad liked plants because they didn't talk back and because
they were beautiful and God's creation. He always felt closer to God in the
backyard. You envisioned this big garden... Yes, but, but all of a sudden when we got
here, we found out that deer were very invasive, and that we would need to put
up a huge deer fence in the backyard, unfortunately. We have a beautiful
backyard and we can't figure out where to quarter off where our raised beds are
gonna be, so it's gonna be another year. A lot of people don't know that these type
of courses are available in their hometowns, so how do they find out about
something like that? Extension Program is nationwide. The
Master Gardeners program was started to get the latest information and most
factual information to the farmers, to the people in the fields, to the, the
people who are raising the food and needed to know the latest information on
pests, or diversity, or crops, and the Extension Office was a way to support
those farmers through the university's land-grant universities. Kentucky is a
state that actually has two land-grant universities, and through those
universities research is done to discover and promote better gardening
methods and, for not only for the gardens, but the environment as well.
I was very fortunate to grow up on my grandparents farm, and my grandparents
were born in the hills, in the hollers. They grew up farmers, they lived through the
Great Depression. I was the grand kid, I was the kid, who was always the tag along
in the garden and loved it. I wanted to increase my knowledge of
gardening, to diversify from what I was just growing, instead of just growing
McCaslin pole beans, grow Chinese red noodle beans as well, and, and Chinese yard-long
beans, blue lakes. There's so much diversity
that I had not been growing and wanted to learn more about growing. I wanted to
learn how to become a more responsible gardener. We're actually master gardeners
in training, because you are required to volunteer as a master gardener to
receive your full certification, and that was extremely appealing to be able to
bring my love of gardening and to share it with with others. I have been inspired
by my grandfather, fellow classmates and especially, Late Bloomer. Oh, wow. I was
watching a youtuber called One Yard Revolution and after his video ended, a
suggestion came up to watch a Late Bloomer video. I like the name "late
bloomer," because I had been a late bloomer to things myself,
and watched the video and was extremely impressed with not only the factual
information, but the way the videos were put together. It was such quality, and the
music, and the information. And not only that, but I really loved that you showed
when you would mess up, you showed those flubs, you showed those mistakes. It was
very inspiring to see what you were doing on such a small little property
when have three and a half acres, and you're
getting these this great results, and I've been gardening my whole life, and
you've been gardening for five years! I've got to watch this lady, I've got to
learn more. And the master gardeners class as well was, I want to learn more, I
want to be better, I just want to be the best gardener I can be. That was one of
the things that we bonded over in class, actually, was food sourcing, food
responsibility. What is in our food now that we're eating? The prevalence of
major illnesses, of disease, of intellectual, developmental disabilities.
The one thing that reaches every single person in this country is food. It's what
we eat and the water we drink. So it stands to reason that something's not
right, and the more that you research, "A Silence Spring," the book, the more you read
about how we have lost over 80% of our bio-Agri diversity in this country in
the last hundred years... So not to be on a very downer subject, but that was one of
the things that drove us the master gardeners as well, is becoming
responsible for our own food. Right. Instead of us going to the store and
picking out whatever they choose to sell us, from wherever they're selling it from,
taking responsibility, taking that control. What can you grow in the winter
in Kentucky? In the wintertime, we have really cold temperatures in Kentucky, so
growing can be more challenging, but not impossible. You can do greenhouses, you
can do cold frames. Each layer of protection can actually drop your cold
hardiness zones. So, so we're here at zone six. My grandfather did cold frames, where,
you know when you're poor, you can take an old window on top of haystacks even,
and have a little patch there that will survive in the winter. And you can also
grow cold hardy crops. There's a lot of cold hardy crops that, you know, can be
grown in this area, and harvested up to and after Christmas. How many people
were in your class? Twelve. Is that right? Um-hm. Like you were saying, your sister is
working three jobs - yes -and your brother-in-law's working three jobs - yeah -
it's a little hard to take a class and grow your own food
when you're working all the time. It's, it's tough here. This is a really
economically depressed area. It's hard. There's a lot of poverty, and most people
are good, solid, working people in this area, and they're working two and three
jobs, and it doesn't leave a lot of time. I was fortunate in that I had property,
grew up on that property, and it had been farmed, for generations, so I had a bit of
an easier start, but for people who, like my sister, are renting, they can't grow a
garden in the, in the earth, because their lease isn't going to allow that. They can
do container gardens, but I don't think a lot of people here... Yeah, I think
container gardens are very underestimated. I've been a gardener my
whole life, and until I was watching "Late Bloomer," I did not realize what you could
do with container gardens. I would only add that I think a lot of people... You
were raised having farm-fresh food. I was raised having farm-fresh food. So
if you're raised with it and you're used to it, when you go to the store, you know
the difference, and it is such a big difference, that I think a lot of people
have never even experienced it, you know? And that, for me, was a motivation of why
I wanted to go and take the class, because I think all of us should be
growing our own vegetables. I think we should find a way to do it, with
containers if we have to, or even soil sprouts like I was doing before in the
windows, no lights, very easy to do. 14 days you have a crop that's - right - can be
more nutritious than even a full grown vegetable. You're just getting into this - yes -
and uh, do you have any parting thoughts of inspiration for anybody who might
be watching this who's just just starting off. Well, I would agree with
Angie, that seeing you and your curiosity and your trial and error, and not being
stymied by the fact that there's going to be failure in gardening, but you have
to fail in order to create, and eventually you have more successes than
failures. And we are happy for your efforts and encouraging us. Well, thank
you very much. I would recommend that people contact their Extension Office,
their local Extension Office, which should be the County Office, correct, so
for us it was Boyd County Extension, and sign up for a class. It's, it's worth
it, and being able to network with other people who are professional gardeners
and to give your time back to your community, well worth it. I just think
that the whole gardening community is generous, and that they want to spread
the word. Every single one of us wants to spread the word, you know. We have
different goals, but the important thing is just to start, don't you think? Just get,
just start. Get started, yep. Right. Even if it's sprouts in the window.
Absolutely, that's right, nothing wrong with that. Well, thank you so much for
having me, and we're gonna see a lot more of Angie in the next video.
I'm sorry. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
(banjo music)
Oh, how cute! Gonna take one. This one is heavy enough. Oh, you're so cute.
Ha, ha, ha. You have a chance to be in a movie.
Ha, ha, ha.
Okay, I want to ask you again - okay -
and you need to speak a little louder - okay, I need - and - I'm not really
answering in full sentences am I? I can not do this. This is really hard.
I need wine. Ah, ha, ha, ha!
