Haha Yeah I wonder where he is hiding out haven’t seen the Toad since 😄 Lots of frogs though. I hade to look up Aziza~ interesting! Thanks for your creative comment, and also for subscribing~gratitude
Totally blown away~I don't know anything about gardening but a friend mentioned permaculture and I looked you up. I could watch this for hours. I appreciate you going at just the right pace while explaining everything in detail. There is so much to learn, I wonder if you have done a beginner video? And what other videos you have done? I love seeing God's creation, and how magnificent and beautiful it is. All the fruits and squashes, and various leaves. You must be one of the healthiest people on the planet! Loved hearing about the various teas you make(to drink?) and natural ways to fertilize and keep away bugs naturally. I will pass this on to many as I am so inspired and most enlightened about everything I get from the grocery store. Wish I could eat organic, thanks so much fantastic, brother! high 5!
Thank you! I’m happy the Video was inspiring ! Haha only for plants to drink yep ;) Yes permaculture ~trying to work with nature instead of against it. And permaculture goes beyond just gardening too... Appreciate you sharing the vid ~ Gratitude 🙏
What a beautiful garden, beautiful Harvest and lovely demeanor! I used to live up on Whidbey Island so I know how wonderful the climate is up there although I never made it up to Vancouver
Thank you for the kind words ! Yeah it’s much dryer here in the Kootenays vs on the coast / Vancouver area. We get a lot more sun here, but not as much as the Okanagan. 😄🌦️🙏🏼🌟🌀🌱💚
Thanks so much for that ! I take it that yellow loosestrife isn’t invasive ? Unlike the purple one. I actually have the purple one started from seed-now I’m wondering if that’s a good idea (hearing from another viewer that the purple loosestrife is quite vigorously invasive) What do you think ?
Love your videos :) I have my own garden (it's a way small than yours) and I struggle to handle all the food that it produces. You can only give so much to friends and families. Wonder what do you do with all your excess? Sell?
Thank you 😊 It’s not that much really if you consider storage for 6-7 months a year; what I grow for. 6 months of time I cannot grow food here. Also some goes to family and friends. And during the growing season juicing is a magnificent way to use loads of cucumber, celery, carrot, fennel , beet and so on ! Gratitude
I see you spraying off the potatoes. You could have filled a bucket and washed them in there then when all are washed, give them a quick spray to rinse, use the water in bucket to water veggies/fruits. Save that water! Just saying... You do such a great job with your garden 😊
Thanks for commenting. Here’s a little perspective: I often submerge wash-think I was actually doing that there in the wheelbarrow-if it’s the clip I’m thinking of. And just finishing by spraying off or vice versa. When you have a fairly abundant water source it’s really not necessary to get finicky about saving water. Also In late autumn the garden doesn’t need anymore water. If it’s mid summer then yes I’ll often dump any containers of water usually on trees…
? Awe yes the yellow flower. I collected some seed from a purple loosestrife variety from a near by wet land and started them last year but didn’t plant them out after learning that it is fairly invasive. I think this yellow variety I’ve got going is less of a spreader.
Seedling-you started it from seed ? If u started it from seed it’s going to take a while… If you have a small grape Cane use some Liquid organic fertilizer, something like fish emulsion. Or brew some compost tea and or Put worm castings around the vine.
Yeah I love the sea :) I’m far from it though. I can buy dry agricultural seaweed at the store but it’s the most expensive fertilizer/minerals out there. You have a great resource if you have access to seaweed like yourself !
You mentioned that you were using the net over the compost tea to keep flies out; do you get hoverflies in your area? This last season I made my first tea and I got these rattail maggots in mine, which I identified as hoverflies! And so I placed some lathing in the tea as a ramp just in case they needed help climbing out to pupate. Also I had treated my brew with mosquito bits (bt), and was relieved to see that it did not appear to affect the hoverflies. I suppose covering with net negates the need for the bt though huh😅
Yes I’ve got hover flies here- yeah they are important to have in the garden for sure. That’s kind of you to put a means for them getting out of the water. Come to think of it I have seen them crawling. I didn’t know the tailed maggots were hover fly-I was just looking into it more…thanks for that !! That’s what I’ve seen in my anaerobic tea batches as well. I just thought flys and how they transfer pathogens… Couple times I think I’ve dumped it-(just flooding the area and it seeped into some beads still so still was used in a sense) But yeah the fine screen/bug netting will keep out mosquito larva as well. But sometimes there are still bug eggs in the green matter so…😄 No issues with aerated compost tea as the water disturbance…
@@Tisha554 yeah I was reading that After I collected and sowed the seed lol. I was gonna plant it in my driveway ditching. Still beneficial to bees and insects. I don’t think it’ll spread much on mountain side property. The yellow one isn’t considered invasive right ?
@@diversitylove5460 I did sell starts at my local farmers markets for three years. But currently no. I may do more of a perennial nursery for sale in the future. :)
The toad is my prince 🤴 take care of him. The speck of light is Aziza
Haha Yeah I wonder where he is hiding out haven’t seen the Toad since 😄
Lots of frogs though.

Appreciate you sharing the vid ~ Gratitude 🙏
Wonderful looking wonderland, I'm trying the same on a smaller scale your videos give hope and inspiration
That’s awesome !
Thanks for watching !
If you can get wood chips! Wood is the biggest long term fertility builder I think 😊
What a beautiful garden, beautiful Harvest and lovely demeanor! I used to live up on Whidbey Island so I know how wonderful the climate is up there although I never made it up to Vancouver
Thank you for the kind words !
Yeah it’s much dryer here in the Kootenays vs on the coast / Vancouver area.
We get a lot more sun here, but not as much as the Okanagan. 😄🌦️🙏🏼🌟🌀🌱💚
The yellow perennial flower by your Fuji apple looks like yellow loosestrife. Beautiful gardens.
Thanks so much for that ! I take it that yellow loosestrife isn’t invasive ? Unlike the purple one.
I actually have the purple one started from seed-now I’m wondering if that’s a good idea (hearing from another viewer that the purple loosestrife is quite vigorously invasive)
What do you think ?
Wow what a garden! Beautiful 😍
Just subscribed. 🌸

Amazing!

Offhand, I was thinking that you had a lot of swamp loosestrife in your forest garden. It is a beautiful garden.
? Awe yes the yellow flower. I collected some seed from a purple loosestrife variety from a near by wet land and started them last year but didn’t plant them out after learning that it is fairly invasive. I think this yellow variety I’ve got going is less of a spreader.
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!
Welcome 🙏🏼 I’m happy they are of use to you 😄 gratitude
Hi your garden is so Beautiful, when do you start painting up the Vegetables for summer .
Thanks for commenting!
Planting up? as in ‘out’
Last freezing day is first to second week in May.
🌀💚
Absolutely impressive and inspirational ✨🌿
Wonderful, thanks a bunch ! Have a beautiful week !
Lovely and inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much! Yeah I think that is one of my best so far.
Very Impressive
Hey can you direct me on how to make my grape seedling grow faster please.
Seedling-you started it from seed ?
If u started it from seed it’s going to take a while…
If you have a small grape Cane use some Liquid organic fertilizer, something like fish emulsion. Or brew some compost tea and or Put worm castings around the vine.
❤
once agane one ov the best garden vids thank you your cerry tree need a big trim this winnter
Thanks 🙏 so much !
Yeah i think so too, I haven’t pruned my cherry trees yet :)
if you live close to the sea grab some sea weed and put on your garden
Yeah I love the sea :)
I’m far from it though. I can buy dry agricultural seaweed at the store but it’s the most expensive fertilizer/minerals out there.

Welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
@@_SunRa_ You've formed an amazing bond with your garden, and it shows in the best possible ways!
@@hhwippedcream awe thanks for the thoughtful observation 😊
I always thank the plant or tree when harvesting...
The yellow flowers are loosestrife.
Oh thank you so much !!!
That’s cool, I actually started some wild purple loosestrife but looks much different.
Thanks for that !
🌈
@@_SunRa_ They can be invasive.
@@Tisha554 yeah I was reading that After I collected and sowed the seed lol. I was gonna plant it in my driveway ditching. Still beneficial to bees and insects. I don’t think it’ll spread much on mountain side property.
The yellow one isn’t considered invasive right ?
@@_SunRa_ It does spread quite vigorously. I had it at my previous home and did not bring any to my current place when I moved.
@@Tisha554 ok thanks, maybe I shouldn’t plant them then.
I take it that you wouldn’t plant them ?
Another wonderful visit to your garden. Thank you for sharing
Happy you enjoyed watching and thank you !!🌈
@@_SunRa_ do you sell any plants 🪴?
@@diversitylove5460 I did sell starts at my local farmers markets for three years.
But currently no.
I may do more of a perennial nursery for sale in the future. :)

Thanks ! It feels like it to me !
Lots I want to do still 😄
What a beautiful vegetable garden
