The new high tunnel is a big game changer for your family. The baby is getting so big. Thank you for the videos. I know your very busy with your children and your garden. I just wanted to say I appreciate them. ❤
The footage, music, editing, all of it was phenomenal! I especially loved the drone shots
Thanks so much!!
WOW YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WORKS HARD! WHAT A TEAM!!😊
Wow that was a real family effort ❤❤ So glad you managed to beat the frost saving all your harvest and hard work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Enjoyed the video 👏👏👏 Love from the UK x
It makes my heart happy watching you and you hubby work together to make the most of your homestead and every minute of each day! Blessings to you and your family for a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you!

I love your videos! The family working together in the garden is heartwarming~You certainly are to be commended for your integrity and thougthfulness of caring for your garden,! And of course, Your Family, too~~don't quite know how you juggle so many tasks!💛💚💗
Beautiful family inside and out, hard working people. God bless you guys.
I always look forward to your beautiful garden and calm videos.
I always look forward to your videos. I'm glad you got everything covered. Your garden is so pretty.
Thank you!☺️
Your content is getting amazing!
thank you for sharing. love watching the process.
Yea for your mad gardening skills and a very helpful family - guess they like to eat, too. LOL
I’m always so happy to see a new video post. Looking at all the wonderful produce that survived the frost made my mouth water! Oooh! That cabbage. Your family has had so many wonderful blessings this year and you certainly deserve them all. Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.
Wonderful job and with baby along. Wow.
What a beautiful family♥️♥️♥️
I’m so glad y’all got everything covered in time! I’m sure it was stressful with the weather not cooperating and a deadline counting down! Always love your videos!
What healthy-looking plants! Kale chips, I have to have a big bowl every day, they are the best plant in my view, and totally easy to grow....only prob here in Aotearoa New Zealand is we have a white butterfly that affects all brassica which during summer makes it impossible to grow without cover.
I am so proud of your ingenuity. Yall need to pat yourselves on the back! May The Lord Jesus bless and keep you all. Love
Wow, Squish is already on his learner's for the tractor! He's growing so fast. 😀 so glad to see all your hard work with the coverings paid off.
So glad you made it in time!!
Great to see Grower from Over the pond, Thanks form a UK veg grower 🙏
Proactivity is the best activity. Well done😊
Looks like the next addition could be a line of string lights for the high tunnel. A little solar battery box would be enough to run them when you’re working during those short winter days!
I was going to suggest this as well. Seems like a logical next step seeing as there are lots of times they are out there with headlamps.
Great team work as usual. Noelle is such a brilliant girl.
Love seeing a new video from you!! Your garden is amazing! You and your family work so hard and it pays off!! Baby is getting so big!! I just love how all your kids help out! What amazing parents y’all are! Wonderful kids!!
Great video as always, Thank you for sharing
Your garden is so beautiful.
I love your videos. Your gardens are beautiful!
Just wow ! ❤
A lot of work. Hats off to you all.
I love watching your videos! You can see all the work involved in feeding your family nutritious food. Very inspirational💗
Thank you so much!
Great video
This video was absolutely fantastic!!! You are sooo good at video editing!! The frosty whiteness with the fluttery music...wow!! Well done... another great vid...I just wish it was longer so there was more to enjoy!!! Thanks so much!!
Aw thanks!
Your baby is beautiful God bless him. You are such a hard worker God bless you and all your family.
Within the last 20 days I've binge watch all of ur videos from the very first video about low tunnels to this video.
I aspire to be like your family (at 16 i still have homeschool and growing up to do.) and once next growing season is here (Canadian here, so last frost is mid May first frost is beginning of October) i will be blowing some life into mother's neglected garden box and slowly building my homesteading knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time in your crazily busy schedule to teach us and show us insight on the homesteader's life.
Also your family is very humble, Joyful and kind, you've taught your children amazingly on how to be kindhearted and hardworking (something we Sadly don't see often enough) and both you and Cam have a lovely connection with each other.
Lots of love and good prayers your way,
N.B. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Thank you for the sweet comment! ❤️ I’m so excited for you to have some fun in the garden this upcoming growing season.
Thank you! ♡
Love from India........ I saw your farm and hoping to build a farm like yours a day
You have the most beautiful garden 😊your videos are so inspiring to watch 😊I’m 80 and right now I’m in the wish full stage😊keep going your family is amazing 😊
Beautiful high tunnel! So so pretty! Youre truly blessed and your work pays off!
Thank you!💚
You guys are doing great. I love to watch your videos; they are entertaining and educational, too. I live in Zone 3 in Canada.
Wow your winter garden looks fabulous, can’t wait to see an update, such a great family.
Man! Your garden looks amazing! I know it’s hard work, especially juggling a baby too. Your teamwork is so awesome. With as many times as I’ve seen videos of you gardening in the dark with headlamps, you should get an Anker power box and a shop light.
What a worker you are Becky! Even working by moonlight!!!
Your garden is looking really healthy!
I can't believe you would think it would "bore us to tears" to watch U work in the garden...it's THE WHOLE REASON I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL😊😊 this vid was so short...it needed 10 more mins at least of boring us with your gardening 😁😁😉
Haha!!😂
You are such an inspiration! Thank you 🙏
Time and weather, just do your best because we do not control either. We went from frost two weeks ago then back to the hi 70's and 80. I'm looking for my first high tunnel. Fitting it in and getting the county to OK it is my first step. I hope to do hot beds inside because I will be limited to a tunnel that will probably only be 20 X40. God bless y'all and keep growing.
I’m new to your channel, I live a whole world away in New Zealand, love your vlogs, amazing workload you all do, warm regards Ruth
Lovely video and well done on the hard work
Good day to you, Becky!
I know this question is not about this video, but I figured it is the best way to reach you! I was wondering if your sister is going to be putting a new Homestead Garden Journal and Planner out for 2024? I have the 2023 version, but I don't see an updated one on Amazon as of yet. Thank you for your time! I look forward to every video you put up!
Yes! When she was visiting me she showed me the new version. She updated it based on feedback and it has a lot of new information too. I’m not sure when she is planning on having it up and ready but I’m assuming it will be very soon since it is for next year.
I am in constant awe at everything you do especially with 5 kids including a baby, your helpful husband, your gardens etc etc. cooking from scratch is one thing but canning & preserving what you grow can be exhausting. I just got a freeze dryer & hope you do more videos using yours. Can you recommend a good freeze drying book? And are there certain veggies you prefer dehydrated vs freeze dried? I'm looking at lots of potatoes, garlic & jalapenos that need to be processed. Any suggestions? I did dehydrate some garlic before I got the FDyer. Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving!
The only freeze drying book I have is from Harvest Right. They sell one and it’s pretty good. From what I hear squash is better dehydrated than freeze dried. I like pretty much every other vegetable freeze dried more than dehydrated!
I had mice this summer too. They are frustrating. I could hear them squeeking under my shed. One day, I walked into the shed and one skitteref out thd window. 🥺😱 no like that.
Yes, they’re definitely frustrating sometimes.
❤❤❤❤❤
So do you not cover your strawberries? I'm so intrigued! I've been bringing my strawberries into the garage every year 😅
No cover for strawberries right now. If you’re in a cold climate you might need straw over the top but where I live it doesn’t usually get cold enough for them to be damaged. The threat comes more in Spring when they are flowering and it’s going to frost, then I do cover them so the future fruits are not damaged by cold.
In my winter garden in Boston, I don’t cover anything until it’s below 25F at night consistently. Meanwhile all my plants not only survive, but are learning to adapt to the much colder temperatures coming up. I was surprised that you are covering cold-hardy vegetables at the first frost. Please explain your reasoning.
It was a 15F frost. I’ve had a first frost that temp kill my kale. I think because of the shock from our hot temps to cold. Like you were saying the cold temperatures help them adapt but sometimes when it’s a big swing warm to freezing they aren’t ready. I had too much work into it and didn’t want to take the risk.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead now I totally understand, thank you for explaining! It’s been crazy weather indeed. We haven’t had such big swings over here, and not less than 25F at night, but it’s been unpredictable at times.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did you make the low tunnel or was it a kit? If you made it, how did you bend the wires? Can Cameron show us how he made that slip/tension knot on the low tunnel? where do you mainly get your row plastic/covers and materials for high tunnel and low tunnel? I really need help. 😵💫
Hi Cathy! I have everything linked in the video description, including a video from last year when we set up the same "quick hoops" but we showed a lot more detail in that one. The smaller wire hoops inside the high tunnel are new, and I've also linked them in the video description. Neither was a kit. I will see if Cam can make a TH-cam short showing how the knot is made!
Wow! You do a nice job! Where is this? Can this be done in northern Wisconsin?
Yes! It will extend the season no matter where you are. I am in Arkansas.
I wish my husband would help me in the garden, too. I am doing it solo and it's not always easy, but worth it! What zone are you in?
Zone 6b
Can you share specifics on what temps you cover for and when you pull back? Also how are you watering in a freeze?
I cover for below freezing. If it’s above freezing I uncover. I am watering with a hose when necessary. When it’s really cold the plants don’t need to be watered their roots will dig deep for it. I do have drip irrigation but don’t use it in freezing temperatures.
i hope cam realizes how good he's got it. becky you're a 10 :)
How did you make your row cover hoops for inside of your high tunnel?
They were purchased. But probably could be DIY'd for cheaper! I never checked into it. I've linked where I got mine from in the video description.
Thank you!!! I might try to DIY my own. 😊
