#selfsufficiency #growingfood
I really appreciate your kindness towards your son with what had to be a frustrating situation. Sometimes you just have to laugh…and that legacy of loving will carry throughout your kids’ lives. ❤
When you give a kid a job you know stuff will happen. It’s all learning. God bless!
I am so glad that the comments didn't go ''how dare you let the kids....!''
His and the family's safety kept is the No.1😊
He just helped you to move through with your irrigation replacement plan. Sometimes we need a little push - or fire 😂❤
Hahaha 😂
The baby crawling down the hoop house after you was the most adorable thing ever 😂❤
Kids gotta learn somehow, so it’s good you let him try on his own. Now he can help with repairs 🤷🏻♀️😉
so glad the fire didnt hurt your son. beautiful sweet memories to make with your children working in the garden.
Kudos to your boy!! He didn’t panic, took care of the danger, owned up to the damage, and was able to joke about it after. ❤ that’s a proud parent moment!!
Love that you baby proofed the carrots 😂
Can’t wait for your next video!
Love seeing the kids in the garden. I always enjoy how calming your videos are. They seem to pop up when I need a little calmness during my day!!
I could watch you all day, i love how neat and tidy everything is. There's no chaos in your garden, very orderly and i love that Riggs plays in the dirt. 😊
Thanks for sharing your successes along with your struggles. This is the genuine reality we come here for. Best wishes.
Beautiful video! Down to Earth vibe, all your family involved in life skills. Baby Riggs is adorable! Oh My💙
Kudos to your son! Thankful he wasn't hurt! Thank you, Lord! I love seeing your videos like sitting down with friends ❤
Thank you, Always good to watch Thank you for sharing your ideas,
Bagus sekali kebun nya..👍👍
I just love how all of you work together to get things done! Everything always looks so nice and neat! But goodness you are definitely a hard working mama 🥰
It was way to windy to burn. And Cruz has gotten SO tall! 😄
I'm listening to an audio book called "Hunt Gather Parent" and it's very focused on making kids part of the family and leaning in on the toddlers desire to help to encourage thoughtful motivated kids. This video really demonstrates a lot of those concepts in the interactions you have with your kids. The book is big on exposing your kids to your work but I'm guessing yours would be a lot more appealing to my 9 month old boy as he grows up than the spreadsheets, teams meetings, and power points my work is littered with
You guys do everything so organized, neat and clean!
New Mexico native here! Green chili cheese burgers are a local favorite. Also, green chili mayo is our personal favorite. You can also try green chili cheese fries and green chili steak fries. There’s so many things you can do with it! You can also incorporate it into a jam which tastes great with toast! Hatch New Mexico also has a restaurant called Sparkys that has a chili milk shake. Enjoy!
Handsome young man. You must be proud
Yes give yourself grace I am a mom to 14 and the goal is growing as much food as possible. We use a lot of commercial weedmat we are very remote and cannot get natural materials trucked in. It used to bother me. But you have to do the best you can with the resources and time available. Your gardens are dreamy.
We use fire all the time to burn off old plants and weeds, beats spending hours pulling them out by hand. We do however move anything that may melt 😂 like poly pipe before hand but we are adults and have learnt from doing the same thing as kids and Cruze will not make that mistake again. I love the fact your kiddos get in and help. Ignore the comments from a few Negative Nancy's that have never lived a day in their life on a farm. 💕🐨💕 Happy Easter to you all.

I really love your videos. I learn a lot and really respect your family togetherness
I just discovered your channel. Enjoyed it very much! Subscribed and look forward to more.
Looking good!! Thanks for the date stamps!! ;-)
I love your cool as a cucumber approach to 'the blaze' happy growing 🌱
I was able to use the weed paper in my garden with wood mulch on the foot paths. However, I tripled it then applied the wood mulch in a very thick layer. I did get some weeds coming through initially but I pulled those as soon as I saw them. I continue to use a thick layer of wood mulch that is applied in the spring and fall. After five years of this process, I have almost no weeds in the foot paths. I am in Michigan.
I really enjoy your videos. Growing Long Island cheese pumpkins again this year. First pumpkins I ever grew last year. I'm so inspired by you and your family. Trying to get my grandkids interested in gardening, without being pushy. They sure love to come over and strawberries or eat all the freeze dried ones. I always grow broccoli for them. Have a wonderful day.❤
❤ what a happy baby! So sweet!
So beautiful seeing your greenhouse setup. I’m a little jealous!!
Maybe some advice for the chilis: My dad planted some reaaaally spicey ones too (too hot to eat even for him) and he dried them and put cut up pieces in a special kind of "pepper" grinder- especially made for grinding up hot peppers! I really recommend using your peppers that way in case they're too hot to be eaten in a dish! Just a sprinkle of them on food for some spice is great! ^^
Wow! What an amazing operation you have going on there. It's gorgeous!
My favorite channel! Oops on the fire jumped but glad he is ok! Things happen.
I had to chuckle because I literally just came in from torching my garden (tiny compared to yours) with a flame weeder when I sat down to watch your video. It was a little windy here today so I just did a cursory pass and will have to go back over it this weekend.
I too have a lifetime account with seedtime and this is my second year using it. I really love it, it does have some room for improvement but overall I really like the software.
Riggs is adorable… out there crawling around in the garden “helping” … start em young 🙌
We always look forward to your videos. We would love to see more about how you manage your animals, daily chores, and how much time it takes to do what you do. Do you have any free time??? What do you do with the animals when you leave town? What challenges have you had with the animals and what have you learned to pass on to those of us thinking of getting some ourselves? Thanks, and as always, we are looking forward to your next video.
Loved the video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉As always a pleasure to watch ❤ Love from the UK x
Special salsa just for dads. Love it
Part of learning. 🧘🏽
We couldn't handle all the weed pressure either. That's why we went up to raised beds. Costs more to establish than ground growing, but it was worth it to get to spend my time growing food instead of weeding constantly. We went ahead and planted zoysia in the walkways so we mow them now. Even less weeding. (No weeding the walkways, and minimal weeding in the beds.)
But I'm not growing for as many people as you are.
Love seeing how your garden progresses. You’re very inspiring but also an incredibly hard working momma. Thank you for taking us in the journey with you.
Drfddddd
Your videos are so relaxing and inspiring
We grow hatch chili from the Sandia Seed Co. every year. Soooo good! We roast them, peel them and freeze them. We mainly use them in street burritos and egg wraps. We make sauce with the red chilis.
So Beautiful!!!💚❤💚
Love your videos! You guys make me laugh 😂!
I love your videos. Please make more!
Cam, you will enjoy hatch chilis! Roast and freeze or dehydrate! 😊
It’s part of the learning experience 🔥
Thank you. Glad all is going well…. Including the teenage learning curves.
Hashtag life skills. ❤
Those hot peppers would go great in a mango chutney, for a hot/sweet year round condiment. This was such a great video; and the baby!! He's getting into everything, lol! It's so nice to see the family all helping in the garden.
I loved this video. Thank you. I have really leaned on this content to learn more about food and self sufficiency
I wish I had as long of a growing season as you do. I feel like we have to start everything basically all at once or we won't get any food. Thanks for the update on the paper stuff.
Amazing work ❤
Your channel is one of my favorites! I have a couple of little ones that loves to 'help' in the garden as well, haha!
I'm excited to see how your garden goes this year.
My mom liked to add super hot peppers to a huge pot of chilli and the flavor was amazing, the heat was great too especially if you have a cold. Cleared it up real fast for me
Wow, a lot of work, you are bless ,your family help in the garden and with the baby. Have a bless spring and a bless Easter.
love it !
I hope to be as efficient as you someday! I love watching your ways.
Love your channel, we need to get more subscribers here!
I ADORE High Mowing Seed Company! I have great success with their seeds and they provide outstanding customer service 🌺🌺
We agree!
My absolute favorite time of the year with your channel ❤️ Your garden is beautiful and I love the way everyone pitches in!! Even the baby 😂
You Might want to tack down that weed barrier better...if sun and wind get under there you are still going to have weeds 😩
Did yall get a new camera? The shots look great. The depth of field is amazing. As always, absolutely love your family and how yall work together and allow the kiddos to fail and learn. Not that you need validation from me, but the sometimes its nice to get the encouragement.
Thanks! Not a new camera, I think we were using a different lens. We totally appreciate the encouragement!
I completely forgot we had an irrigation line in a bed we torched. Luckily, it only melted the last few feet. Oops! Accidents happen.
We have just subscribed to your channel
I love it when parents let their kids crawl around on the ground and play in the dirt. Builds up their immunity. A mouthful of dirt never hurt anyone.
Love your channel
consider just cutting up pallets for your seed trays
Cardboard under compost helps tremendously. with soil health and perrenial weeds. No dig. Obviously you can't use this method eveywhere. You have too much land and the cost would be massive. But helpfull in some cases whee compost is used.
Love hatch chiles but also love spicy lol. They are the kind of spicy you feel via your skin as soon as you cut into them and probably don’t want a finger in the eye later. But not so hot you won’t do it anyhow 😂😂. Ask me how I know.
Wau green house 👍👍🙏
Happy if same hobby partner
atleast he learned a very important lesson right
You should look into Korean peppers, it's a totally unique flavor from any other pepper.
I have bad bind weed problem in my onion beds had extra 2x6 cedar boards so layed down a roll of cardboard then new soil hopefully kills out weeds it's exspensive if you had to buy it but was given to me so I'm experimenting
Please make sure to give us an update because I am also very curious. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Becky, have You tried transplanting using dibber like Charles Dowding does? I find it so efficient. He shows it even in his latest video about jobs to do in March 😊
Bwahaha scary for a moment but then a funny story :)
Just a suggestion but why don't you make the seed trays from pallet wood, easily sourced and also free.
Would not last as long.
Your videos are so inspirational! ❤ What kind of compost do you use? Mushroom, all purpose, composted animal manure...? Thank you!
It’s made from composted wood chips.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thank you!
Why don't you mow your asparagus stalks in future? That's what I do😊
I've heard fire will kill asparagus beetle eggs. Fire can be pest prevention.
HELLO I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏
why do you do like that the soil so hot
Are y'all starting and leaving your house weather seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc) in your high tunnel and are you using any additional heat?
We bring them in when it gets close to freezing.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead what temperatures do the stay at or rounding your high tunnel? How do you bring them all in? Carrying two trays at a time is very time consuming maybe you have a better way.
@@thehomegrownhomestead285 We don't start the bulk of our warm season seedlings until 4 weeks prior to our average last frost. They grow fast in the tunnel and I usually only have to bring them inside once during that time. We have a garden cart that can carry several trays at once, I can't remember the exact amount- maybe 8. That is all I need and it only takes one trip. Where it gets tricky is if seedlings are started to early and potted up then you do have to take many, many trips back and forth. Temperatures in the tunnel are usually at least 5-10 warmer at night than outdoors. It keeps the heat in fairly well.
Hi Becky. Is there a reason the soil block trays Cam made for you only have three sides? My husband is keen to get building some and was wondering if there is a reason for that design. Thanks so much.
I think it might be to get out the plants easier afterwards... however i am also looking forward to the official answer as well
Yes, only having three sides makes it so you can take them out easily!
Hi, I know this is not related to this video but what is the brand of mattress that you have recommended in your past videos? I’m in the market for a new mattress.
Birch Living
My baby is 11 months old and puts everything in her mouth!! She could never crawl around in the green house like that without having tons of dirt and wood chips in her mouth! Does yours do the same and you just allow it, or does he not put everything in his mouth?
Yes, he likes to eat dirt and wood chips. We watch him, and pull them out as they go in.
Do you use the free version of seed time?
We have a lifetime account
@TheSeasonalHomestead did you start with the free version? I thought I remember you said something about the free version. I saw that yall were speakers on the Seed time webinar.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead what made you want to purchase the lifetime subscription?
How is a garden a grocery store?
Oh my God girl that tank was way too close and in my state you need a 5-gallon bucket of water two hoses two people a shovel and a rake I'm telling you right now that could have got really bad. There was a gentleman in my town that was killed because the brush fire got out of control. I don't care if he wet things down or not. What if you would have tripped with that propane tank. That was so dangerous girl I'm sorry but not sorry that was so dangerous
Hi Karen.....
Rather than getting all emotional about what COULD HAVE happened, focus your awareness on what DID happen.
I worked in an emergency room. My comment was the beginning of the video because of my panic for her son. That could have gotten out of control. You've never seen somebody's body burnt before have you. I was very concerned. And your comment makes no sense. I know she would never intentionally put a child in any harm. Yes this was definitely a learning situation. It could have been way worse. He wasn't being irresponsible it just wasn't a good idea to do it in the method that he did. It was definitely a lesson learned and you could tell that they handled it that way. You have no idea what patients have gone through because of burns. And I've seen it. It's horrific@@earthzeroapothecary
Well... I expected the polytunnel was burned down too when I saw the torch... not very ecological using fire in the garden, it's much better to compost. Charles Dowding does not recommend forking the soil more thane once when establishing beads. Is disrupts soil life and yealds are much worse.
Fire has been for horticulture used in North America pretty much since there have been people here. Our landscapes are actually fire-adapted and would be in much better ecological shape if we hadn't outlawed indigenous burning practices. Now, they are overloaded with fuel that shouldn't actually be there. The only real mistake here was how the fire was applied.
@LittleKi1 Well, it does not mean that using fire is ecological. Better yet to compost. CO2 stays in the ground this way.
@@musicelfka Actually it doesn't. Only a very very small portion of carbon that is placed on the ground is actually sequestered. The rest is part of an ongoing living breathing carbon cycle. Much of the carbon applied via compost and mulches is actually returned to the atmosphere via respiration.
