SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.
I am new to your channel and I it has become a favorite. Watching your videos is such a nice escape from all the negativity out there right now. It is also very theraputic. Your genuine love and care for all the animals reminds me there are still good people and beauty in this world. Thank you for sharing your amazing farm life.
@@lichali4747 happy to hear it thanks, so glad you’re enjoying the channel 😁
Chad and Remi (his darlin') are absolutely the best! This is my favorite channel on TH-cam! You will love it here!
Another great morning of viewing your wonderful garden. ❤
@@dianecooper7502 😁
Morning, Chad. We so appreciate how stable and consistent you work to be on your channel. Your self discipline is amazing. Kiddo is sick with a fever today and we all knew that you would be here with a new video to watch while he rest even before we turned on the tv. You’re the best. Have a good one! ☕️🍁🍂🐈⬛
I appreciate that! Tell him to take it easy, rest up and feel better soon 😉
Hello my fried
Hello lovely couple ❤
Your new friend from Southern California ❤
I enjoyed watching this video… your wife harvesting your organic vegetables. Love to see that you both are animals lovers …. Love to see how you both love farming and gardening. I am a Filipina too that loves gardening and animal lovers too . Hello to you and to your darling ❤JONAH
Love Mollys garden ❤️
I'm a fan of Dexter. Funny how different cats personalities are.
@@hannahshadid885 they really are individuals
I have a Dexter named Andy. He’s nine years old and a wonderful cat. He’s my buddy and we love him
He has beautiful green eyes like Dexter. All that Dexter does is just like our Andy.
@@mapgirl7559 very nice 🐈⬛
If you don't mind this old gardener giving you some advice if your going to grow corn prep the space weeks before planting with the poop from your chickens and til it in. That will provide nitrogen , calcium and other micro nutrients to the soil. You should only have to fertilize again when you hill your corn at about 18 inches tall.
we definitely need more fertilizer and of course have an abundance of it. Cheers
Also, the three sisters companion planting with corn, squash and beans works great!
You have your vegetables, its a good garden and the effort you put to create all those things, is something you deserve all the good things you receive. have a nice day. Thanks to the person who made the molly sign, ollie is ready to play whit the comb.
@@JH-ml5cp aww thanks and yes it really is a great sign 😁
Hi there, watching from Australia i am 165k new Subcriber, i love watching your vlog
You're doing a great job with the videos. My favorite channel. The garden is coming along great. You're such a hard worker and have done so much just by yourself with all the buildings. Wish you both great success. Love all the animals. God bless.
So nice of you
Thank you for this beautiful episode
Our pleasure!
gorgeous garden and a wonderful harvest!
Many thanks!
I love your gaden specially with your animals. Enjoy farming
@@mamache2028 aww maraming salamat eh. Thanks for joining us 😁
Congrats on making your dreams come to fruition.
@@3degreeimages 🙏
This video just made me smile all the way through. I love seeing the success of your garden and how happy your Darlin is. Olive, with those eyes and face, looking imploringly at you with the Kong in her mouth would have been hard to resist! Welcome to any new Hidden Spring Farm Family!!!
@@carlapierle8623 she carries that Kong with her wherever she goes and is constantly dropping it at my feet. She’s so sweet.
I love your new gateway you made. You and your wife have made a beautiful garden and she has to be an awesome cook. Hugs to you and your wife and the animals too. ❤❤😊
Thanks so much
This video is so inspiring! Thanks for showing what can be done: healthy, delicious food like my grandparents enjoyed ❤
😁
Beautiful harvest.
Congratulations 😊
God bless you and your Darling 😊
🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
Thank you kindly
I am gardening from indonesia
Hi Chad, it's amazing how much skills you have in building the garden. It's just beautiful now after your hard work. I'm glad to see more of your wife in the video. Tell her that she is a wonderful woman. Your friend from Kingston Ontario.
@@lolasimmons9152 aww thanks, it’s been a great second half of the season and we’re still not done. Fun times 🤩
Love love love the garden! Thanks for the video. I miss my big gardens. Great design too! Corn is a challenge for sure. Love the trellises! It will be so beautiful as time goes by. Thanks for letting me line vicariously through you.
You are so welcome!
With all those Filipino vegetables your darlin can cook pinakbet.
As you showed us all the wonderful produce from the garden, I suddenly craved a tomato. I do not have a garden, but I did shop at a local garden store and bought two beautiful tomatoes on Tuesday. It was delicious. Thanks for the temptation!!
Wonderful!
It is always nice to see the ducks in the pond. You and Remi have really done well with the gardens. You have a very nice cropp of fruit and veggies. Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings.
Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
@@doriskuhberger8559 I enjoy it too, most days I spend more time than I should watching them 🦆
@@HiddenSpringFarm 🤗
Hi Chad awesome video 🤗Everything looks beautiful ❤Give Fozzie catnip to help move along faster😂We have enjoyed your older videos just as much as the new ones❤My hubby has been enjoying your sawmill videoes👍We tend to get spoiled, once you grow your own fruits and veggies, so hard to buy grocery store produce🫤
This video is exactly what I needed today ! We move onto our new property this weekend and I can’t wait to plan the future garden over the winter 😊
haha around end of January you're gonna be in full on planning mode dreaming about your garden lol.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I’ll be back bingeing lol
Oh wow ! Your crops are amazing, both of your faces are happy like kids opening up Christmas presents 😁😁❤❤️
It's feels so good when finally getting that harvest after all your hard work.
Love your videos
Love your show.
You rock!
We had very sandy soil and needed more nutrients in the soil. We put all our leaves on the garden and the garden just rocked. Every year it got better. Your place is a dream, I grew up in St. Mary’s Ontario. I miss it so much. Sending love ❤️ 💕
I’m gonna mulch up a bunch of leaves and add it this fall. Hopefully we’ll get the same results as you.
Loved it! 😊😊😊😊
So glad!
Beautiful Garden.,yes we filipino love that vegetable ampalaya❤.,have a nice day.,watching here from Toronto. My husband show to me your video.,we both love to have garden too in the future.and thankyou for showing your beautiful garden very encouraging ❤
Aww that’s so nice, maraming salamat.
I have been working on building raised beds too. I love your garden. It is interesting seeing all the different plants that you have.
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Wonderful!
I love your garden, Chad!
@@NewSummitInc that’s great thanks 😊
Remember that you grow organic corn. It will be smaller and sometimes a little underdeveloped. Maybe try silver queen next year. It is very sweet and w😅e try it with moderate success. If we fertilize consistently it does better. Corn is so delicious so keep trying. My grandma used to tell me alwYs if at first you don't succeed try try again! Nice garden Chad and Remi.
I’ve never even thought of it like that. Huge corporate farms I guess use the modified corn seeds eh. I’ll look for that variety and maybe add some more nitrogen next year.
So funny seeing Fozzy eating and rubbing his face on the catnip🥰. I’m glad he had it all to himself!😊
🤗
I’m a new subscriber and I’m a pilipina living in Pennsylvania and I’ve been gardening for over 20 years now , I’m loving your channel so far
@@imeldalevis8783 oh hi kumusta? You must be a very experienced gardener eh. It’s very nice to grow your own food hunh. Salamat
I’m a new comer to your channel… really enjoy your content!! You are always so upbeat👍 The garden and all of the farm looks fantastic! 🙏❤️😁👍👍👍
@@DJ-bd9sf glad to hear you’re enjoying. Thanks for joining us 😀
For better corn production, try the American Indian method, called the “three sisters”. Meaning, you plant together at each point the corn, but also with squash and beans. The other plants do beneficial complementary things, such as fixate nitrogen, and this helps all of them grow better. The corn's group contribution, to the symbiosis/synergy, is to act as a trellis for the climbing bean vine.
I really enjoyed your video
@@jenelyndelacamara6739 I’m so glad, salamat eh 😁
The entrance does stand out!! Great garden and great 👍 video
Awesome!
My family loves this channel, especially my cat crazy daughter. I loved seeing the progression of your bed building journey as my husband and i are just beginning ours. You are and your darlin are so lovely together!
That is awesome! best of luck eh.
I love your videos on the garden harvest!! Sending love from Elberton, Georgia!!
@@christieadams8502 Awesome! Thanks 😎
The garden is beautiful and the whole farm looks so peaceful. Love your updates.❤
So nice of you
Corn and asparagus are super heavy feeders to be productive.
Need lots more nitrogen eh
I am new to your channel and I really love what you do. ❤ But what a nice doggy you have and also the cats and all the other bird species you have. ❤❤ They're just too cute. ❤❤ I live in Sweden and am always so eager to watch all your YT videos ❤ hugs to all of you two-legged and four-legged ❤❤
Aww thanks so much for the nice comment, glad to hear you’re enjoying g things so far. I publish new episodes every Mon & Thur mornings and of course have 800 past videos 😀
We're about 3 years into it as well and your channel is an inspiration! We started raising Kunekunes 21 months ago and We've been incubating our own flocks of chickens, ducks and geese over the last 10 months. It's been a fantastic journey! 😎 STOC
That’s so awesome! Kune kune’s are very cool. We’re inching closer to self sufficiency eh 😉
@@HiddenSpringFarm isn't it centimeters up there my great white northern neighbor 😅 I really do appreciate and admire your animal husbandry and learn a lot from hanging out with you in your videos. Keep up the good my friend 😎
Farming is a lot of learning experiences, you guys are doing great! Really happy your garden is becoming more successful! 🥒 Love your shirt, too!
So nice of you
Beautiful garden. Love you guys ❤
It's so rewarding to have a garden you made and love. Sweet animals too! The pigs will love those cabbage leaves. Carrot tops for the chickens. Another Great video love it all. Take care and God bless from Michigan.
the pigs did indeed enjoy the cabbage. I gave some to the rabbits too but it gave them the runs so I stopped. All the animals enjoy the abundance in the fall season as we harvest too cause not all the veg are good enough for us to eat.
Definitely really enjoyed this one, especially love the editing and the fitting music selection!! No matter what my struggles are, just bringing depression, I have to admit I appreciate what you do, as except for some inevitable sad news, has always put a smile on my face, knowing there are good people still out there inspiring me to not give up, in not only pursuing my dreams but that it is all a process and its perfectly fine that won't happen overnight. Thanks to you Chad, your loving partner, and all the beautiful creatures that you kindly share with all of us.
All the wonderful food you are growing is so impressive! And I loved the violin music. I know the tune as an old hymn from my childhood.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it 😁
This motivates me a lot,...
Awesome!!!
Planting cat nip is easy but the cats love ripping it out of the pot. Lol love watching them all get fixzy and lazy afterwards.lol😸😸😸😸🐱🐱😸😸😸❤️❤️❤️
Yes it seems easy enough, we just have the one plant this year but I’m thinking to grow an entire bed next year.
You really have made a dream garden! I'm happy to hear you've had some success, it's been a rotten growing year in eastern Ontario! Our bell peppers didn't grow, only produced one pepper each and they were the size of habaneros! Almost no tomatoes, even the cherry tomatoes are few and far between! I've never had such a bad harvest - the rain really ruined my plants!
@@sarawr30 aww that sucks. I thought we were gonna have a bad year too but the second half of the season most things really perked up. No pumpkins, potatoes, watermelon or cantaloupe though. Very little corn but the tomatoes are doing very well now. Still lots of goodies growing too for at least one or two more episodes 😆
i love this
@@robertthabainzau2505 nice!
Wonderful garden and exotic plants..kale Chad !! is very heathy for a hard working man like yourself.👍
Yeah I know, I find it so bitter for some reason
Love your style!! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Fozzy looks like more slim now, but still always same particular rhythm walking 😂😂
@@mapefpada7681 yes all the cats lose some fur and some weight in the summer. They’ll starting getting more fur and putting on weight soon for the winter.
Awesome veggie garden. Thanks for the inspiration 🫛🍆🫑🧅😃
My pleasure 😊
i LOVE your garden. I love to garden as well, but I'm in Kenya currently. I hope to be back to the US before next growing season. My favorite and most successful garden vegetable was the grape tomatoes, which I planted against a 6 foot fence, and I wired them up real well. They grew up to the top of the fence and up over the top and down the other side to the ground. We had so many delicious tomatoes that year. (SE Missouri). I also found a variegated green and white basil plant at a nursery that I planted in a wooden urn. It grew so nicely and provided us with fresh basil for months. I wish I knew the name of it , but it was very ornamental as well.
very cool, we love the cherry tomatoes in the salads. grape tomatoes are great too. best of luck to you eh.
I love the Ampalaya. I’m trying to plant it in my garden, however we leave in Las Vegas, it’s difficult to grown then due to extreme heat . Thanks for sharing your harvest
it's grows well in the Philippines but it's tropical there, I guess Vegas is a desert eh so it must get super hot. We grow here from May to sept so it's just enough time to let the vines grow well enough to get some veggies. It's been a decent year for her asian veggies so far, the best year she's had.
The corn seems like it wasn't fully pollinated. You can help by taking one tassel off the top and rubbing it on the silk to ensure good pollination. But still look at what great harvest you got!!! Keep up with great work love watching the garden and farm videos!!🌻🌻
@@kaitai5911 you may very well be right, we gotta keep a better eye on it next year and do some by hand.
All those veggies look great
So good
If you haven’t already, I’d love to see you make a ranking video talking about different fruits/veggies and saying how difficult or easy they are to grow! Also a video on cookies ideas for them would be fun! I want to start a garden in the future but I’m not the best at eating veggies haha
1:50 "Molly's Garden" .. ❤🤗
Love the vegetables we eat that all the time
Awesome 👏
Hi Chad and Remi. You two worked really hard and persevered year after year. You two deserve your successes. The produce looks amazing. I'm still watching your videos but have been too busy to comment. Life got in the way. Looks like you two have a lot of produce to preserve. I love you both and your videos! 👍🏼
@@RJH_LIL aww thanks. life always gets in the way eh, just watch at your leisure 😉
Wonderful video, Chad. Thank you for all your hard work!!!!!
In the States, we call that corn Bread & Butter corn. Sweet & sweeter kernels !
@@karensmutny6090 oh cool, yes they were very sweet. Hopefully we can add some nitrogen and do better next year.
Good job on the garden. Maybe try that stinky Alaskan fish emulision diluted for fertilizer. Plants want acidity.
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome Recap,👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Just found your channel! I just subscribed! I don’t know anything about planting anything! Anything I plant does! So I’ll just watch your channel and maybe inspire me to start something - maybe tomatoes again!🙏😢😢
I meant anything I plant dies!
Right on! Cheers 🥂
I love fozzy❤❤❤
yeah he's the coolest
One of the best fertilizer I’m using is banana peels. Put it in a bucket of water and after one week you have a good fertilizer. Bitter melon is good for diabetic.
@@isidororamos3551 it’s funny you say that cause my wife has a bucket of banana peels fermenting we just keep adding to it 😀
Just found your channel and I love how authentic you are, showing both good and bad side, not like other people. No doubt on your future success.
@@nam1418 aww thanks so much, welcome to the farm 👨🌾
Do you know why corn has so many silks? It is because every single kernel has a silk running to the top of the ear! Nature is fascinating ❤ love y’all.
very cool I had no idea. nature is so incredible, I think about things like that often and I usually just wonder.
Marzano tomatoes are highly regarded in Italy, for health I'd go for their food instead of strange veggies. Golden opportunity as you can produce a lot yourself.
@@FighterFred we have loads of the san marzano and beef take too, along with everything else we tried this season.
Thank you Chad for sharing your adventures with us. its so nice to see your "darling" in her garden - your comment "she loves to grow veggies & I love to eat them " did make me chuckle.
Your garden is exactly what it’s supposed be at this time in your life… when it is finished, it will be exactly what you and your darlin' want your garden to be! I personally think it is awesome! It's better than anything I could ever do! 18:33 this is one of my all time favorite hymns! I love this acoustic version!
Oh, that's Filipino & Panamanian on my Mom's side...And Mexican on my Dad's side..just to clarify that. Ok. 🙄🤔🙂👋, Elsa R. CA.
I bet if you pile mulch/woodchips around the pot when winter comes your catnip may start growing again in spring. It's in the mint family and I got it to come back on its own in my manitoba zone 3. Fun plant but careful it can take over if you plant it in a bed or the ground.
oh this is great tip, I'm gonna tru planting it in it's own bed and if it survives and spreads that's cool. Thanks a million.
I am a huge fan of your channel! I love your context. I love your animals. I love your garden. I'm a woman and I even love it when you build something and use your sawmill! You name it, I love it! Love from Texas ❤😻
Awesome, so happy to have you watching. We drove thru northern Texas once and I hadn’t realized it was so windy there. I thought tumbleweeds were soft & fluffy but nope they scratched up my hood 😆
😊 This is what your vlogs do to me Chad, brings a big smile and a very relaxed feeling of goodness. You and your Darling deserve only the best, you are both realizing your dreams surrounded by animal love and yes "my Darling loves to cook and I like to eat, a win win love partnership". 😂 I agree, it's perfect! You two are great! Take a bow for making great progress and living youe dream!👏👏👏👏👏💪💪😻
@@claudiarusso6702 aww thanks. You know starting the channel I never really imagined the possible impact it could have on strangers lives but it’s very cool knowing it in fact can and does. We both love reading all the comments and realize that people who were once strangers are now friends. Have a great weekend 😎
Bitter Gourd stuffed with pork is delicious.
yes i think that's one of the dishes she makes with it
I have to pick my okra before it gets too big. If it’s as big as you harvested it is too tough to eat. It’s woody. I hope you can cook it to be edible when it’s so large. I’ll bet the pigs enjoy it too
my wife ate the smaller ones and used the bigger ones to dry out the seeds for next year. She says it does get a bit tough so you're right on.
Hello Chad, Darlin Ms.Olive and Fuzzy Bear - Great video of the garden. Hard work but enjoyable and delicious results. The main result is you making your lovely wife Happy. lol I am having my coffee and getting ready for work. Hug Ms. Olive for me and all the wonderful animals. Until next time, you all have a fun weekend. God Bless
It’s always nice when the cats visit us in the garden.
Hi chunk hi Dexter
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love that it’s Molly’s Garden. 😊❤
Yeah it’s a very special gift
ps… I love love the cats!!! And of course Olive!!!😇❤️
TH-camr Goldshaw Farms grows catnip and sells it. You can ask him for help. Also TH-camr farmer Tyler ranch lost his dog the same way you did.
@@floridagoods I’ve never seen him grow catnip maybe he just did it this year? It a tough way to lose a dog, we’re still not over it and it’s been a few months now.
@@HiddenSpringFarm He's only shown it once where he collected it and brought it inside his barn to dry it upside down like you were talking about. I feel so sad for you guys losing your dogs. I couldn't even finish watching your video when you lost yours.
Good morning, I was told that if you planted your corn in a circle it would pollinate easier ,but I don't know I'm not an expert. 👍
@@scottgremko4426 I’ve never heard that, but I was just trying to grow like a farmers field…planted close together in rows. I’m sure each variety of corn is different and I have heard that sweet corn is more difficult to grow than field corn.
The garden is amazing! Love y’all ❤
Awesome, thanks so much again. Have a great weekend eh. Cheers.
Just a suggestion for your wife, put corners on her beds,some little ones for her drinks and some bigger for sitting on, she has a place to sitand pick and then so some so you can find the lost drinks 😂, ask me how I know. ❤
Corn is a very heavy feeder
Persistence pays off. and we learn from our mistakes. Tell "Darling" to watch a channel called TEO gardening, The man is amazing and she will learn many tips and great ideas! Are there any pumpkins? Thanks for another awesome visit - always makes my day and I wish I was there! 🥰🥰
Well look into it, thnx. Actually not one pumpkin, very tiny cantaloupe and only a handful of small watermelon.
🙀 cats are adorable
That's so beautiful that you keep your lady happy!! Thank you for sharing your success and failures. I would like to do raised beds I'm curious what you think about using those large cattle mineral containers. They are plastic. Do you think they would be too hot in the sun?
can't be any hotter than the galvanized raised beds we use and they do very well. gardening at waist height is much more enjoyable. Just need proper drainage holes cause these steel beds have no bottom.
There is a song called "Home Grown Tomatoes". I forget who sings it but your cherry tomatoes reminded me of it.
Love Billy.❤
