Thank You , Happy Mommy’s day to ya’s. IDEA ,, My husband said why not a floating dock in sections for off loading on loading your new big water craft? He said they used floating docks back in his hay days to even off load as big as a Jeep . Or just to walk to shore . He said made out of giant truck inter-tubes styrofoam & shipping pallets ❤
To stop deer from jumping your fence. Run rope up high either about 3 feet inside or outside of the fence. Deer have trouble negotiating three dimensional things. This will stop them from jumping the fence. God bless
That is sooo crazy to hear that you guys are not looking forward to 60 - 70 degree weather... I grew up and still live in Missouri (suburbs outside St. Louis and my folks have property In Santa Fe MO off of Mark Twain Lake near the IA/IL border for 30 years now) and if we get 60 - 70 degree weather its a blessing prior to the summer months. July and August hit 100+ with humidity 20% higher... You literally walk outside and within 5 minutes out in the sun or shade you have a sweat soaked t shirt and feel like you have been in a sauna for half an hour...
Poor Rocky can not catch a break. Tell momma to get her broom out and he will learn to no mess with her in a short time. Said it before and say it again... Bear and Deer eat garden means they go in the freezer! Nice job done on the beds. Tip for ya on using the buckets is to raise them off the ground a tad. This allows air flow and keeps the bottom from getting to wet by sitting on the ground. Maters can stand the low 40 but will stunt them if that temps holds for to many nights. Don't put peppers out until the lows are 50 or more. Just trying to help but then again what the heck do I know? Stay safe my friends!
That's a good looking garden - you guys will be eating well all season long! Glad to see you out enjoying one of those rare bright sunny days! Take care! Captain Zac
You could try turning the gardens outside the fence herb gardens. Deer usually won't eat herbs like chives, lavender, oregano, thyme, rosemary, mint, etc. Basically anything that is aromatic is usually safe. Wishing you the very best.
Good morning Brian and Diana. Good luck with your garden this year. Lemon cucumbers yum. Thanks for sharing. Love the views you have. Beautiful. Happy Mother’s Day Diana. Hope you enjoy your day. Take care. Be well. 💕🌸🇺🇸
Working today at V-A hospital but caught your video. ❤ Happy Mother's Day to all in heaven and on earth. God bless you & yours and grow a big garden with Cucumbers 😅 Stay free
Good to see you two getting back to it! I meant to mention it last year but forgot--the gardening gurus (and us novices 🙃) here in Sitka use floating row cover more so than plastic for our raised beds; it allows rain through it and good ventilation. I figured I'd mention it as an option for your cole crops in order to take some of the pressure off your water supply since they don't need a lot of heat. We also leave the seaweed on the beds during the growing season so that the little wormies have food and make lots of worm poop to amend our soil. Hope your season is bountiful!
Happy Mothers Day Diane, you have many youngsters running around there that love you! It's always great to see the garden duty, that means ya'll will be getting some sunshine and warmer weather hopefully soon. The electric fence charger is a great idea, to be made better with an on/off switch. An inline breaker toggle would work, if you didn't want to get your exercise by bending over to disconnect the battery..lol 😂😅 Love ya'll ❤
OMG 70 degrees??? I am excited to see how the tomatoes do this year! Just keep those electric fences hot this year! 😉 Good to see water is stocked up this year! Ah yes poor Rocky! He just doesn't have a chance does he! 🤣 Good to see you all! Happy Mothers Day Diana! 🧡
last year I covered my garden beds with maple leaves because I planted garlic down the centres of all my beds because apparently garlic keeps bugs away and those I did this year is I just turned those maple leaves into the soil😁😁
Happy Mothers Day Diana !! I can’t remember if you put a trellis for your cucumbers ? I hope you get a beautiful crop of your lemon cucumbers. I was wondering if Brians tatoos line up still since the operation ? So glad you have your water supply. You won’t have to skimp on the garden this year. Have a great week and thanks for sharing !!
Very nice to see you two out workin in the sunshine! That swivel thingy looks like it’ll be a big help. Lookin forward to seeing your garden grow this year. And don’t forget to take it easy buddy!! Cheers!
There is another method of growing tomatoes in a bucket. The method is called, Wicking Tub or Bucket. If you do search on TH-cam, there is an elderly gentleman in Arkansas or Oklahoma that does this in buckets, tubs, 55 gallon blue barrels. He also has a TH-cam channel, Gardening with Leon. Other TH-camrs copied and posted using his techniques.
“Not excited about that” I hear you man, why can’t it be 64Degrees all the time? The buckets work great at least for a season, can’t move them without them breaking, plastic deteriorates, Take care🇺🇸
Am amazed at how fast the snow has gone away on your property....Think maybe the Sierra Nevada's here in Calif. got a lot of your snow this yr. lol.....Good luck with the garden crop this yr. hope its a banner yr.....Happy Mothers Day, Stay safe, be well.....
Happy Mother's day Diane. Always enjoy when you get your garden ready. Praying for sunshine and heat for an awesome garden oh and no deer or bear interruptions. Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲
I want to wish you a very Happy Mother's day 💐 and I just want to let you know how much I enjoy watching watching your TH-cam channel I've got to say you live in the most beautiful place in the world Shirley from Ohio 😊
Nothing like full water tanks. That was magical a wave of the hand and it done. Now that’s some water pressure. Your garden is looking awesome. 🙏🙏 extra sun for you. Always trying something new in the garden.👍 You two have a wonderful week..!!
Good luck 🍀 on the garden. Hope you get adequate warmth & sunlight. So much to get done in such a short amount of time. I just love the views y’all have. PS: Happy Mother’s Day Diana!
Everything is looking great you two. We finally got our garden and hoop house going this weekend also. We went from winter temps to heat wave. Hope the weather is nice for you. Take care.
Well a polar vortex swooped down on us and brought us cold weather all the way up here into May I'm living in the Appalachian Mountains now and I'm just now about time to start our garden so I hope to get make some progress here in the next week or so I'm waiting on my next paycheck to get some things I need
My spring is at least 500 yards away and had to run PEX that whole way and wrap it chicken wire to keep the critters from chewing on it thinking they'll get some water out of it
I understand completely. It’s shorts and tshirt weather on our side of the island and the winds blowing on the other side, so you need pants and a hoodie 😂
You can use Walmart reusable bags to plant in .... then place them in a kid plastic swimming pool with some holes drilled in it for draining, so that it keeps some water in it. Place rocks in the bottom of the pool so alge doesn't grow in the water!
Love the videos! I seen the first one about 4 weeks ago it automatically drew me in. I had to go back and watch from the beginning. You all have made amazing progress!
Thank you for mentioning weeding around the electric fence. That weeds ground out the fence. This year we do our raised beds and that feature is a necessity here for deer and bear.
Happy Mothers Day Diana. ❤. 🌹. Good luck with your garden and critters. The snow is gone in Minnesota and I got some gardening started. Not very warm yet though. Looks like your arm feels better Brian. Just in time to do all those outside projects. Hope you get out to fish soon. Have a great safe week.
Question: Do you have snakes? What are some of the worst insects that you have? I love watching you both get things ready for summer. Your tomatoes plants will grow better in the buckets. You make me laugh when you say you’re hot and 70° weather here in Texas. It’s can get over 100 degrees in June- September. Yuk
Thanks Diana and Brian, I totally enjoyed the video. Yeah we're having the same weather here too here in Timmins ON, I hope that it warms up soon, since last summer was a bust with rain almost every day and rarely hitting 80 degrees F which is unusual for here...Happy Mother's Day Diana!
Every time I see or hear Rocky in your videos I am reminded of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. “Janet. Doctor Scott. Janet. Brad. Rocky.” “BULLWINKLE!” lol I thought the laws mandated the whale watching boats to keep a 500 foot distance and not to position their boats in the Orca’s line of travel? The Orcas shouldn’t have felt bothered were those boats following the laws….. (EDIT: I checked NOAA’s website, 100 yards, I was close. If you see the boats getting too close, you might want to call NOAA, as you probably know, NOAA likes seizing boats to preclude repeat offenses. It’s an effective measure.) Batteries, even lithium, of normal size (AAA through 6V) can be carried in carry on on planes as long as in original packaging or special holders to keep them separate from each other and not heating up/exploding…. You need to arrange for friends traveling to put a couple in their carry on backpack, which is how I bring mine up…. (Fingers crossed I’ll be up there July through September) Your wife needs to establish herself above Rocky in the pecking order, a good thump to his melon each time he offends should do it. This fat lazy guy is half crippled and does not like to bend over to connect/disconnect anything…. I thought you guys were gonna put water barrels painted black in your greenhouse this year? You’d be able to plant tomatoes in there already if you had…. #NOAA
That would work if I wanted to fly to Seattle, buy a battery and then fly back. 😥 She definitely needs to be on top of the pecking order. Sometimes that’s easier said than done. Most people don’t like confrontation even with roosters and then there’s those who don’t care. I think we would be in that category 😂
@@AnAlaskaHomestead if I remember correctly, in the book Cold Mountain, one of the female characters is afraid of the roosters and is hiding in a bush when a native girl needing a job walks up the driveway. She yells to the native girl to hide cause the rooster is on a rampage, the native girl walks over and picks the rooster up under her arm and twists his neck. Both when reading the book then later watching the movie I laughed at that, I know so many “city people” afraid of roosters…… You don’t have to fly to Seattle, you need to plan ahead so that any time a relative flies south you have an order with them for the batteries you’ll need in the coming year. Your mother in law was just down south for medical IIRC, your son is there every other year, and on those rare occasions you fly down for vacation or whatever, you need to pick up what you’ll need until the next vacation…. Your problem is that you were combat arms and everything was supplied for you by the logistics people; having worked on both sides I see it a bit differently. You need to remember that logistics won’t happen for you in Alaska unless you plan for it, and while sometimes you learn to live without and it ends up saving money, I’m betting you can think of several times since getting up their after retiring where you paid out the nose to get something you could have had cheaper had you planned it. Each time I deployed (combat arms or logistics), I asked myself what I might need for the duration that if I get sent out to a C.O.P. or a small F.O.B. without PX facilities I won’t be able to resupply while there. Lithium Batteries for my flashlights, NVGs, Garmin, etc. were always on that list. Usually guys count on mail and Amazon, but by the time of my first deployment in 09 I had known too many people who had been on small C.O.P.s that got mail only once or twice their whole time over there (including one guy that when he got back to Bagram on the way home his Unit gave him all his mail, about a dozen mail bags full of boxes and letters from his family, because they were never able to get it to him)….. I think with modern mail being able to get you almost everything else, just not batteries, ammo, and cans under pressure (construction foam is another wonderful item that needs special plans to get it up there) you aren’t forced to rethink the logistics issue for everything else so you aren’t thinking about planning logistics needs a year or two out which you only need to do for the few items that can’t fly. I know I’m writing this wrong and it sounds like I’m a know it all, but that’s because I didn’t sleep well last night and my morning cappuccino hasn’t kicked in yet so my ability to use tact hasn’t turned on….. so, I’m sorry for that, I’m not intending to talk down to you and as I reread this it reads like I am; trust me that is not my intention, I learn a lot from your channel that I plan on using on my properties (and some things I planned on doing but learn watching you that they won’t be worth the effort). Just trying to help on one of the few things you may be able to tweak for better results.
Your garden always looks so nice when you set it up. I hope for beautiful weather for you/it this summer 👍 Are those food grade buckets? Because if not, the plastic will leech into the dirt and therefore your tomatoes 😩😬 P.S. Happy Mothers day Dianna 💐
I don't know about that swivel it might just turn around in circles and tangle up even worse we never put swivel on on ours But mind you we never had ours out as long as you do are closed lines we never had the pulleys down at the bottom We just had the anchor and then the pulleys were at the top by the boy I don't know if that makes any difference
I’m finally catching up. Cool to see the garden going 😃 I still haven’t planted my potatoes yet! Plants loved that week of sun, but today high was 48 degrees in Wrangell - yuck! I expect you’re getting the cold and rain too.
I want to ask about the jeep. I notice you still have license plates on it. Do you have to keep it registered, and if so, how do you get it inspected? Do you have to keep it insured?
Happy Mother's Day..we use to have a big party here for all the batchors on mother's day in our area..then we decide to shoot all the expired flares off..but bad timing ...right when the mail plane came in...well the rest is history..lol
Happy Mother’s Day to all the great moms.
👍👍happy mother's day. From 🇨🇦
Last year I grew my tomatoes in big square pots about the same size as your buckets. I had loads of tomatoes. You’ll do well.
Thank You , Happy Mommy’s day to ya’s. IDEA ,, My husband said why not a floating dock in sections for off loading on loading your new big water craft?

I have tomatoes planted in 5 gallon buckets . I have little green tomatoes now . Charleston SC. Enjoy your videos thank you for sharing.
Spring has sprung, some what late, but, it's here. I hope all your efforts produce a bumper crop of everything you planted !!!
I love hoodie weather...Best times of the year!
Me too.

The weather has been beautiful this week hope you are getting some time to be out on the water.
Growing beans in the garden helps replenish the nutrients tomatoes use from the soil. I always plant them together.🌱🪴

Question: Do you have snakes? What are some of the worst insects that you have?
I love watching you both get things ready for summer. Your tomatoes plants will grow better in the buckets. You make me laugh when you say you’re hot and 70° weather here in Texas. It’s can get over 100 degrees in June- September. Yuk
No snakes here and no see ems is the worst summer insect we have.
I found out the other day, that the garter snake is the only snake in north American who's meat is poisonous to eat...fyi.

Happy Mothers Day! Why do you have to take the kelp off from the fall?
We could mix it in but it helps the compost.
What were those magical clips you used to place plastic on the garden bed hoops. We live in the NC mountains, would like to use something like that.
Those things are really cool. You can get them on Amazon. I think they are listed in our Amazon store.
Why don't you leave the sea weed on the garden?
I guess we could, I don’t know 🤷♂️
I’m finally catching up. Cool to see the garden going 😃 I still haven’t planted my potatoes yet! Plants loved that week of sun, but today high was 48 degrees in Wrangell - yuck! I expect you’re getting the cold and rain too.
Seems like summer has come and gone already😂 Looks like some nice weather is on the horizon but you know how them weathermen lie😂
Im surprised you dont compost to help your soil. Or do you?
We do
I want to ask about the jeep. I notice you still have license plates on it. Do you have to keep it registered, and if so, how do you get it inspected? Do you have to keep it insured?
Ha no, just left the plates on it. I still have a plate on the boat trailer too. I think its sticker expired in 2017😂
Oh man, another one who doesn't wear a face shield when running the weedeater? You're asking for trouble!
You know I actually stopped and got my safety glasses after that.
Do you ever fish out front of the house? What do you catch in the bay?
You can fish off the beach. The fish we focus is salmon, halibut, rock fish. We go for cod every now and then.
👏👏👍
Couldn't you put Raven on a really long lead while y'all are outside and not muzzle her?
It gets tangled on everything.
Minks are disgusting!!!our dogs deal with them using EXTREME PREJUDICE
Oh Gunner would always come home smelling like pee and we knew he had got ahold of a mink😂
It sounds like Rocky causes a lot of problems in different ways, it may be time to replace him and add him to the stewpot ???
