Full Garden TOUR | Early June | Let's Plant More!

- Join me for a walk through my garden as we dive into some exciting summer gardening activities! Today, I'll be planting cucumbers and sharing updates on how everything else is growing. I had a bit of a scare when I couldn’t find my cucumber seeds at first, but luckily, they turned up just in time to beat the rain! I'll show you my tips for planting cucumbers, both on a trellis and directly on the ground, and discuss why I love having them in my garden.
Throughout the video, you'll get a close-up look at my flower-filled whiskey barrels bursting with bachelor's buttons, poppies, and borage. I’m thrilled to report that my tomatoes, marigolds, and onions are thriving this season, and I’ll give you a peek at my carrot and onion companion planting strategy that has worked wonders for me. We’ll also take a moment to talk about garden maintenance. After a couple of weeks away, my garden is in need of some weeding and TLC, especially with grass creeping in and some beans showing spotty germination.
Strawberry season is in full swing, and I’ll share some tips on how I manage my strawberry beds, which are going strong even after eight years. I’ve harvested no less than five gallons of strawberries so far and have been busy making strawberry marmalade, Greek yogurt, and a delicious strawberry glaze! Whether you're here for gardening inspiration, tips on planting cucumbers, or just a peaceful tour of a summer garden in full bloom, I hope you enjoy spending some time with me in the garden.
Thanks for watching and happy gardening!
Rachel 🌼

So grateful you are taking us with you on this new phase of your life. Those strawberries look amazing. I can't wait to see what you do with them.
Rachael - remember the parable in the Bible of the wheat and the weeds? Let it mature and you will tell the difference!
18:43 That is a good point that few realize! the decomposing matter attracts the herbivore insects. When they get it all eat, they get hungry and chew on anything they can!
What you have right now is called “Wheat Grass” which is the same thing as the superfood wheatgrass. It’s basically just the baby microgreens of the wheat plant 😊
I love that you just sit on the ground! 😊
I love to hear the giggles from my granddaughters when we pick berries. They just love eating fresh from the garden fruits and veggies.
Lovely garden visit! Another great day on the 1870's Homestead! Blessings on your family and your growing season Kiddo! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿💚🙏💕
Sometimes the suggested spacing is for growing things along the ground that can be grown on a trellis. Home gardeners can save space and work load by growing things up a trellis.
The strawberry lemon marmalade recipe in the ball book is yummy! The lemon peel gives the berries a brightness and freshness flavor. It is so worth the extra steps. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful strawberries! I picked a bowlful last night and I’m planning to have strawberry shortcake after dinner. Yum!
I had to move my strawberry patch this year. And I took what I needed then advertised on market place $1 ea bare root. Then dug them up as I got requests for them. They were mostly just pups from my original 30 plants. I sold 400 in one day. I had no clue I had that many. I did that early spring.
With all our rain this year slugs are thriving. lol They love the beans in my garden.
Same here slugs and snails ,worst year for us.
@@kathyweber2571 I was blaming rabbits for eating my bean plants, nope its slugs. We've always had a few, this year they are everywhere.
Those onions are going to be huge and planting carrots with them is great
Love, love, love garden tours.
Your garden is truly beautiful!! One little tip though, you might want to try growing your strawberries in Green Stalks! It's so much easier to deal with them and harvest, and still easy for the littles to harvest!
Glad you found your cucumber seeds! Great video.
It’s looking good ! 🍓
THIS IS AN AWSOME GARDEN RACHEL PRAYERS FOR A GOOD HARVEST TO YOU AND TODD
Thank you for sharing your time with us!
Sandals in the garden....my kind of gal!! ❤😊
Harvested my first cucumber yesterday. Lots of small cucumbers on my plants. I am so glad after the very bad cucumber production from last year. Golf ball size tomatoes on several plants so far. I think it's going to be a good growing season.
Your garden is already bursting with abundance! So beautiful and inspiring! 🍓🍓
I’d love to see an updated pantry tour
Fabulous video Rachel I just loved it- Strawberry Jam YUM 🥰🥰 Cheers Denise- Australia
It is truly a blessing hanging out in the garden with you! I’m now on oxygen and can’t do my big garden anymore.. i really miss it but am so blessed watching you and seeing your love of it. Thank you for bringing us along ❤
Please look into something called X39 Patches. And remember, by His stripes you ARE healed, Amen.
Thank you for giving info on strawberries. I have tried in beds and now I am going to put them in the ground and let them go.
Just incredible how your garden has grown.
We have had so much rain and temperatures including a frost warning.
So nice to see you back in the garden.🌻🦋
I would Love to see your Jam recipe!!! The garden is looking good!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Rachel those strawberries look Amazing!!! Enjoy!
Hi Rachel, welcome back! Can you talk about your irrigation in an upcoming video? Do you hand water when the forecast calls for no rain? In North Georgia I’m watering using drip, twice a day for 20 minutes. It seems like a lot, but when I cut back everything really suffers!
Hoping my new strawberries do something this year. Made the mistake of pineberries that did nothing even near regular berries for years to pollinate. Ripped out the pineberries and started over. Old ones do good still.
Love it! And thanks for the nudge to plant some more pumpkins! I was afraid it's too late!
I never have luck with onions or beets, although I might get some carrots this year.
Well, when wheat seeds are planted looks just like grass, if you buy Cat Grass seeds, its probably wheat seeds.
Wow, everything looks good in your garden. I love pickles too, I'm going to.make a bunch of dill pickles, bread and butter, and mustard pickles, I love those. Lots of salsa too, ❤❤
I'm so happy with my garden this year. I've already pickled jalapenos and set to make pesto from my basil today. We're starting to get more produce than we can eat now, especially tomatoes. I don't really feel like canning them this year, so I'm not sure how I'll preserve them. Cucumbers are huge. I bought bush beans this year and they are prolific and I love them!
Rachel in the garden!
Farm stand looks great - best wishes in your retirement enjoy🎉
Wheat looks like grass, I have wheat farmers all around me and its so pretty when it all goes golden. I'm so happy that my first baby tomatoes are coming on the plants, I had to replant the green beans like 3 times and they are finally growing up the cattle panel that we made into an arch for them. My potatoes are doing great also my onions haven't gotten very big and maybe I need to feed them I'm guessing. Your garden looks amazing Rachel.
That 1870's Homestead, Youre gonna be famous!
I pulled my garlic today some are elephant garlic but I had some the size of a softballs🎉. Oh sorry HELLO RACHEL 😊
Was going to ask variety but then you told us. Great thank you. Nancy from Nebraska
Beautiful onions!! Love them.. all looks great….
Great.your garden looks beutiful ever green.
You have such an instinct for what happens naturally in a garden! It reminds me of "chaos gardening" but more pure and in tune with nature. Even when you were talking about the roly poly. Your strawberries, allowed to follow a more natural journey, are living proof!
I've seen the homesteading channel whipporwhil holler did a recipe with strawberry lemonade syrup for a summer drink. Looked yummy! Nancy from Nebraska
Companion plant strawberries with onions. That keeps the pesty slugs and bugs away.
Had such great luck down here in Florida with the Beit Alpha!
everything looks great
I got 6 strawberries today! Lol yours look amazing
Can you dig most of your strawberry bed up to replant in a raised bed for next year?❤ try some acupressure or physical therapy to get your back stronger 🎉🎉🎉 awesome job...also can you use the strawberry leaves for tea?
The mystery flower in your whiskey barrel looks like it might be Larkspur.
So nice to see you Rachael. Garden is just beautiful. I love playing in the dirt. Will you be doing a video on the strawberry yogurt scones you mentioned? love the recipe. Thank you
Rachel sharing the joy and excitement with us. Thanks for the garden tour and experience.
Memories. Back in the 80's our children loved picking our strawberries. I made sure to remind one son of that memory while my granddaughter was listening. lol. Hint.
2:47 You call that weed pressure?!😂😂
I been away from your channel for some time now as my notifications where turned off??? I forgot how much I enjoyed your channel I remember your garden from 3 years ago now I can compare so beautiful
TH-cam does funky things all the time to subscriptions. Glad you re-found us ♥
I love how you garden. It's so much like me. Ugh we can put more seeds in lol I always plant to many and I hate to thin. But I loose plants and seeds to animals and it seems to always work out
Long time viewer. So happy for you for your retirement. Loving more videos too. Just slight feedback. It is harder to watch tours when you don’t have your camera man Your videos lately have been making me a bit dizzy and I skip the tour ones now and just watch the cooking ones.
I think that bud about to open in the first whiskey barrel is some Cosmos. Everything is looking so fantastic! Happy gardening!
❤☺️ love your videos
I've heard that the onions help keep away the carrot flies. But that's all I know about them! Garden looks great. I have such a hard time with onion. I can start them from seeds no problem but when I plant them out in garden they just aren't big enough and they just don't thrive? Nancy from Nebraska
Have you posted a cucumber canning video? I would love that recipe- i havent found a recipe that i like for canned pickles- only refrigerator ones
OH yeah, quite a few video, just search "pickle" on our channel.
Nitrogen might work for onions because they're a 'modified, underground stem', not a root bulb. An expert would need to verify. But when studying the onion at school, I was surprised that it was a stem, not a root bulb. We used onions in Biology to view the construction of a cell (nucleus, cell walls, etc.).
Nitrogen is critical for big onions
Rachel your onions are beautiful!!. I want to try growing onions again with my carrots next year.
You said you heavily feed your onions with nitrogen. Can you describe the type of fertilizer, strength and frequency that you follow?
slugs are present this year
My poor onions got blown over when we got some high wind and rain. I thought they’d perk up and they didn’t. So I tried forcing it. Then the greens mostly turned brown. So I clipped them down in hopes of them regrowing some so I’ll at least get some to freeze. Having any to hang is out of the question now. 😢
Have you guys ever had a grasshopper infestation, we have thousands of baby ones and I’m not sure how to get rid of them?
Jason Nunn? Where in the world have you been? Its Etta Fields and i been looking at some people online sometimes, but not really. They either real working or busy with other stuf or thinks. Hope you're sleeping well. Enjoyed talking wilth you tonight. Sleep well. Night night, shack and hug, Etta Fields
My bean have something chewing on them also. Not sure is it's slugs or snails.
❤❤❤
My pea plants died in the 104 degree heat we had last week. It is only 99 today.
🤗💞
I’m having trouble with earwigs this years. They are nibbling on everything.
Do you feel that your garden is thriving much better with giving the soil a years rest?
Definitely doing very well
❤❤🕊️
Onions keep pest away from the carrots
Rachel, do you have any idea what eats my bush green beans? Something eats them down to the stem😊
I am in Michigan also. I have to put chicken wire around my row of green beans to keep the rabbits out of them. They can eat the entire row in a day.
Did you see Migardener has 25% off seeds now?
Yes! Almost sold out on everything. We posted about it on our Facebook Page.
Never plant cukes with potatoes they are both heavy feeders.
Its not summer yet
