Bri, your garden is beautiful and I love hearing the twins learning words! Little tip....you may want to put the cattle panel trellis on the inside of the tposts. The zip ties can pop, especially in the heat, and the panel will go flying! The tposts will keep it together, should the ties pop. Love from NC!
Your garden is beautiful. Your children are so smart and your oldest daughter is very responsible I know she is alot of help with the babies. You are blessed❤
What can I say? Your garden is beautiful, your children are beautiful the way they participate, the twins are growing & you - young lady are a role model for Mom's!!! Blessings Bri 🕊❤🙏
That's so scary I'm glad it wasn't a lot worse!! My husband did this exact same thing to the top of his head last summer and had to go to the ER and ended up with around 10 stitches...it was pretty bad! I was glad my father-in-law was there to be able to take him in as I was with the kids! 😬
Goodmorning I'm so glad you stayed with the up date on your family's journey so we can watch the family grow and I hated to hear about Arthur I hope he is well bless your family .
From my eyes you are so blessed, I know things are hard for you at times, but you are strong and handle things so well, you have a great family, just love how your kids jump right in and help, I also live in NC, and love your videos,
Bri, you are a testament of what being a mother is. I hope you know there are a lot of people who watch you who are so inspired by your unwillingness to quit. I Hope you are proud of yourself for how strong you have stayed during this turbulent time in your life. I just hope you know you are loved and to give yourself some grace when life gets difficult. You're only human and you're doing the best you can. I hope you as a woman, not just a mother, know you are valued & appreciated and god loves you
21:15 Oh wow I love that view of the garden it really shows the progress, nice filming angle too. And that view across the street, that is a blessing! 😍
Bri, your garden looks great! God bless you and your family!

Plant corn in 10×10 blocks. Plant them diagonally for maximum coverage. They don't have wide roots or even tap roots, and they like being together not separate. It's sort of like grass in that way. The 36" apart thing is for industrial commercial growers who need machinery space, which you don't need at home.
This is how I have always planted my sweet corn. I just usually plant 1 row down the center. I will look into the closer spacing.

@@Brifromscratch The main problems I've had with corn: - spaced too far apart: they can't exchange pollen, & wind action doesn't drop it into where the silk forms - remembering to fertilize: corn is a heavy feeder & loves to eat! - remembering to water: corn likes water, just like grass does.
Proud of you girl. I’m doing the same thing. I’m a single grandma. Divorced for 5 years. Getting stronger everyday. Learning to love life as a single woman at 66. You go girl. God bless you and your beautiful family
Bri you are such an amazing Mother. So nurturing and lots of patience. You have a beautiful soul and you're absolutely gorgeous. Love your family and enjoy watching your videos. Have a blessed summer.. ✌️💐
Just a tip...the freeze dryer trays should be warm when you remove product, to ensure that all moisture has been properly removed. If the trays are cold, they should be warmed before removing the product and processing or packaging.
All your kids are funny! That little interaction at the end got us a glimpse of that. Reminds me of how me and my siblings talk to each other whenever we hang out.
The look on Wilder’s face when you said Jackson isn’t coming cuz he’s sick😂. I’m loving the look of your garden all coming together! I have local farmers markets around me so I don’t do a garden, but you make it look so inviting to try😍.
Your garden is going great Bri. Here in Barbados we are in a drought and on water restrictions so I am just trying to keep my trees alive and the okra I planted is doing well too but the other stuff hasn't even sprouted. I am hoping that now it has started to rain a little the other seeds will come up. Your twins are so very sweet.
@@Brifromscratchdo you usually get a good return yield in years past with corn? I saw and read what the person said about the closer planting due to pollination. And the three sisters planting sounds good. I'd never heard that before. Wonder how that corn would do?
I’d love to live close enough to you to have you as a garden mentor. You are so knowledgeable. Wonderful looking garden. I can’t wait to see your flowers.
It seems like you just planted your garden and you already have beautiful broccoli, kale, lettuce and peas climbing. You really get a lot done in a day, especially with all of the kids. Thanks for taking time to do the video.
Your garden is looking phenomenal! So glad you got the flowers planted. Flowers make me so happy! I'd take flowers over diamonds or jewelry any day 🏵️💐🥀🌼🌹🌻🌷🌺💐🌼🌻🌹🌸🌷🏵️🌼💐
Wow Bri I can see you have a big bump on your head I'm glad to see it out not in I hope you feel better with it real soon,your garden really looks awesome I enjoy watching y'all pitch in and work together as a very loving family
Ohh goodness I’m so glad that T post driver didn’t get you worse. That happened to my son but he had to go to the ER for staples on top of the head. Everything is looking good. Go momma Bri.
Your garden is looking beautiful! Your broccoli looks awesome! Everything does. I am trying to grow corn again this year, I live in Alaska, and it's not easy.
We grew up gardening every year. As adult now the love for that is still with me. Im still learning a ton from your channel tho. The garden does look amazing!
Bri, you have such a beautiful garden. I can picture a white picket fence around it. Grace is so grown up....cooking meals. Such a great helper. The best part of the video is when your son said, mom are you proud of me...I didn't cry. That was so cute. Have a great weekend. Much Love from Wisconsin. Karen ❤❤❤
Praying for you and your family ❤❤❤ Hope you are all well and happy, but it sure seems like it!!! My thoughts and prayers are with art also and wonder how he is doing😢 You are an amazing woman ❤ Please take time and care for yourself too!! Love marilyn w
Yes, my prayers and thoughts go out to Art as well. He is on my heart. I pray that God brings healing to this beautiful family in the name of Jesus. Amen...
Your garden looks so inviting! Also, for us, supper gets later in the summer because of the heat. It was not uncommon for our family to have a mini-supper for the littles at a regular time (around 6:30pm) and then supper for the rest of the family around 8:30pm just due to the heat of summer. Of course, bedtimes got altered, too, so littles got to sleep in and the rest of us got more done in the mornings while the littles sleep. But now, all my littles are teens or older - I adore seeing your young ones helping and growing. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love what you do, Bri! My paw used to plant 3 corn seeds together as a "hill" and put the hills about a foot apart. He'd keep it weeded and when the corn had four leaves he would use a hoe to pull soil up around the corn plants. He said hilling the corn like that let the feeder roots get a better hold and kept the plants up-right in storms. Good Luck!
My husband busted the top of his head open and got a mild concussion using a post hole driver. He has used that tool tons of times just fine in the past for decades. It took him to the ground. He is a muscular and tall beast and has a lot of force and it was the scariest thing I have witnessed to see him crumble like a doll to the ground. Thankful he never lost consciousness. It was almost a hospital visit for stitches so please be careful.
Hi Bri, We have discovered one of our favorite freeze dried veggies is sweet corn. It tastes good as a treat and also reconstitutes beautifully with so much flavor. Garden life is the best!
I know we dont know each other from adam but just seeing you with your children makes my heart grow . I tell my kids I feel blessed that God chose me to be their momma even though one just turned 39 and his sister turned 36 she lives in TX and she gave me five grandkids so being so far from each other makes it hard to see them as I live in IL with my son.
DEAR BRI, The Broccoli is looking do yummy. Just a note, my friend Teenie's parents were Mormon and One day I was pulling the bottom leaves off my Broccoli for my little hens. I decided to take a big bag to Teenie and her 4 hens. When I knocked and told her why I had come. She became so excited and told me that she would share some with her hens but that she would be saute the broccoli leaves in her iron skillet with onions, garlic, etc. I asked her to save me a taste and it was wonderful. I do not have a freeze dryer but dry some of the leaves in the oven to use for the Nutra Bullet smoothies. Please harvest some of the leaves and you will love it. Best wishes to you and yours from South Louisiana.
Bri, you are such an inspiration. You are strong and positive no matter what situation. I just wanted to say how much I love your videos and thank you for sharing your family with us. I send you many blessing for a bountiful harvest. Take care until next time. 🤗🤗🙏🙏👍👍
I think you could do a centre row on your beans as well as the outside and be fine. I have planted bush beans much closer together and have never had a problem.
If your completed freeze dried food is cold, it probably finished and extra dry time if set had expired. Then it begins to refreeze so food isn’t ruined. So you’d need to press tray warmer. You can set your extra dry time-12 hours is what many recommend -This way you can stop and check it at anytime but it won’t refreeze if it completes when your busy, not home, or still sleeping!
Kale powder would be great added to healthy smoothies. We have raised boxes and still get weeds, I’ve learned from you to pull a few each time I’m 8n the garden to stay somewhat ahead of the battle. You are amazing. Prayers for an extra portion of strength and joy 💕
I think your closer spacing will be perfect! I plant more densely in my beds and the plants at the edge of the bed can spread their roots into the paths
Love cattle panel arches... no criticism meant, but if those zip ties break the panel could flip outwards and damage plants or passing children. We always have the t-posts on the outside for better stability.
Its looking great, Bri! I think you can fit even more beans in there. I do square foot gardening in raised beds, and I plant my bush beans (I usually do yellow wax beans) equally spaced, nine per square foot. They do pretty well for me, though I'm in OR, zone 8b. I'm not sure if growing zone would make much difference for plant spacing. Since you're experimenting, you could plant out a section square foot style and see how it compares. If it works, you can fit quite a few more plants in the space you have.
Brooke at Cog Hill hits the warm tray button before removing trays from the freeze dryer. She says it only takes 5 minutes and then trays are warm to remove.
Beautiful garden, beautiful children and the hardest working, most loving and positive momma ever! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing life with us. Grace pulling the babies in the carts was precious beyond precious. What an amazing young lady you have there. Both your older girls are such loving, helpful young ladies and a delight to this Grammy. Love the boys and their typical boy actions. They too are good helpers even though their attention spans are just naturally shorter than the girls. I love them all. I had 3 boys and 2 girls myself and would take every minute of raising them back if I could! Best years of our lives! Hugs to all of you.🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏
Bri, I put my trellis on the inside of the post so if the zip ties break the post will keep it in place. Just a tip. Love your garden and watching your sweet family.

I so needed this corn video today as I'm planting my corn in a 12×15ft space today. It's only my second year trying corn so hopefully I'm successful
A viewer above said that she plants hers closer together. Something to look into if you have less space.
@@Brifromscratchdo you usually get a good return yield in years past with corn? I saw and read what the person said about the closer planting due to pollination. And the three sisters planting sounds good. I'd never heard that before. Wonder how that corn would do?
I have always had a good harvests. Three sisters is a cool idea but it is a pain when actually done.
If something is gained, it is never a failure. With Gods help and your pure determination you are an inspiration to single parents everywhere.
What a fruitful day! The push to get the garden in is no joke!
Lots of work but it's worth the out come to feed healthy foods so proud of y'all happy family happy life
Could beans and corn be planted alternating such as sisters concept?
I love how you sing your prayers at mealtime. I didn’t ever think or know to do that. So awesome ✝️
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK
You’ve gotten so much done in such a short time. Way to go!
Brie, when your son waved and showed us his transformer my grandson waved back and ran and got his transformer...lolol😂
wish we were neighbors so proud of your patience grace is lovely ❤️🤗
Your garden and your children are all blooming. Great job! Bri, you're such a good example of what a mom and woman should be.

You can plant one row of corn and 1 row of beans per bed. The beans help shade the feet of the corn
Wishing you all a wonderful spring and summer!!!

You can trim some of the broccoli leaves, dry them for your green powder, and it can put more energy into the head
Your garden looks amazing! You are amazing!
The garden is so beautiful! ♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
Rows of corn only need 12" between rows or less. Beans are happy 6 inches between rows. Many blessings everyone.

I love that you haven’t mowed the lawn recently. The Bees need the pollen from all them little flowers growing.

Corn is self pollinating and will give great results when planted in a square rather than a row. Presoak the seed over night to give it a head start
