that is a hug vegetable garden. It looks like it takes great effort and you are very slim because you grow your own veg and eat organic and real food. very admirable indeed
its cute how your chickens wait for their treats lol
You need to write a book on starting a garden
I decided to go through my subscriptions and look at some gardening channels I haven't seen in a while. I am so glad I did so. Your families gardens are amazing. You all work really hard and it shows. Thanks for sharing with us.
this is phenomenal and i can't tell you how much your successes in the garden motivate me amongst issues like squash bugs and insane amounts of pill bugs (and effects of pregnancy utterly killing my desire to be outside for any reason)
also, the rec for the lemon squash is right up my ally. we have vine borer issues in texas, which makes squash difficult for us but a more prolific plant that grows smaller squash more quickly might counteract those issues nicely. i'll try it out next year.
Thanks Bonny!
Would love to see you share your garden size, plan layout, what zone your in, weed management (till, wood chip ects..) it looks wonderful
I am a vegan & I absolutely love your free-range chickens! 🐓 The hornworm snackos, LOL
This all looks amazing, so inspirational 🙏🏽
such an awesome garden layout. Love that the chickens are able to help out!
Yes! That's the whole plan - animals help enrich the soil and make it better than when they started. It's a miraculous, yet very simple cycle.
How much do you think you’ve spent on garden material over the years? The stuff to flatten your cover crops, the stakes, etc? Also can you do a video of how you save seeds? I love your content. I am moving to North Georgia in the next few years and haven’t ever really gardened. I would love to grow my own food.
I also watch Simple Living Alaska, and just started following your journey. Love your farm, and your love of gardening. I remember Aerial up in Alaska saying that she does not let the chickens do too much tractoring, because they will eat too much of the beneficial stuff in her soil. I wondered if that might help your beetle issue.
I watch Arielle & Eric, too! Alaska is a very different environment!
I watch Simple Living Alaska too. That's how I found this interesting channel
Thanks for the cucumber beetle tip! I am currently seeing too many of 'em! Nasty lil buggers.
Wonderful video, I am enjoying ‘catch up’ watching your past videos😊🌻
Your garden is just beautiful and I enjoy watching y’all video
Wow, I was shock to see your new videos! Congrats on your new place. Your garden is amazing! I am glad I found you again. So inspiring!
What a beautiful garden, Thanks so much for sharing it with us :D
Wow it makes me so happy to see your family working together
Us too! :)
I just started to watch your videos and 😍 learning so much from you . Thanks
Love what your doing. Keep adding content. Love your seed starts.
Your inspiring. Thank you for all the tips.
I know you mentioned on the blog you had all kinds of technical difficulties with this video, but I'm glad you got it up. Everything is looking great!
Thank you Liz!
Love how the garden has grown since the early days! Just a side note, this year in my garden I purchased a big bag of wildflower seeds and I sprinkled them all over everything from tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, watermelon, peppers, radishes, beans of all types and this was the first year (knock on wood) we did this and our harvest was great, we noticed that the wildflowers had all types of insects on them and they, in turn, ate the bad bugs and our harvest of squash, zucchini, cucumbers, and beans was the largest we have ever had, no beetles. Not sure if the was just an odd planting year, but we plan on planting wildflowers again with our crops next year. We might even try the corn you are growing!
Arugula flowers are great in salads with a mushroom flavour
I absolutely love your channel it feels authentic, and I have learned more from binge watching your channel this week than I have from watching other shows for years. I love it when you show us your trying something new and follow up with it no matter the results! Beautiful family, God bless you all! 🥬🥦🌽🥕🥒🌶🫑🧅♥️🧄🍆🍅🍉🍋🍊🍎🍏
Great idea with the tape!
Have you ever thought about doing a homemade kimchi recipe video? Would love to see that sometime.
www.theseasonalhomestead.com/how-to-make-kimchi/
Wow, this is amazing. So very motivating and gave some great pointers that I will try.
You have so much information about gardening I love that thank you for sharing
Thank you Connie! We've always felt it important to get a bit deeper than just a "intro" level of information. Hope some of what we show is inspiring, yet not too overwhelming!! Enjoy!
Great garden. Great video. I love to see people that have real interests and hobbies.
You and your garden are so inspiring! The lemon squash has been added to my seed list for next year.
Impressive progress! Well done!!!
Just in love with your garden! I find it so fascinating and can’t wait to do something similar one day!
Your garden is amazing... I hope i can start a small graden here in our country... Im planning now .. i will start soon... But our country is tropical... For now we have s sweet potato... The leaves of sweet potato is can be eaten in our country... The leaves that are just sprouting... U can put it in a soup...
Recently found your channel and I am so impressed and so inspired. We are just starting on this journey and all I have to say is one day I wanna be like you when I grow up 😂 God bless you and your beautiful family.
Incredible garden and a lot of hard work 💝
I know this might be a huge ask... but Im wondering if you would be able to do a 101 starting your homestead garden and farm? I saw that you are doing rotational grazing. Would really love to hear some more lol NO pressure.. ill watch all the videos and take notes 🥰
I always look forward to your garden tours ❤️ Very inspiring!
I love how everything looks. Absolutely beautiful! My garden has so many weeds this year. I always seem to run out of energy to do everything I need to get done.
Yes, I hear you on that! I struggle with them too.
Your content is great!!!! Thanks!!!
I'm growing Long Island cheese and Cinderella pumpkins next year. Any advice you could share would be appreciated. I love your videos. I would love to have a garden as large as yours, but I wouldn't have room for my house...lol. I work 10 hrs days and as soon as I get home I head out to the garden for 2 to 3 hours. At the end of 2020 I did containers of plants. It was a failure. I still mourned not having what I tried to grow. So in the fall of 2020 my Dad and I built raised garden beds. 2021 was a great success. Needless to say I'm addicted to gardening.
Rossa di Milano is a staple red onion in our garden every year and it stores amazingly!
If you put salt in the cold water, it helps remove the bitterness from lettuce.
Ugh yeah the cucumber beetles are killing my garden this year. Ohhh I gotta try the duct tape thing! Genius!!! Thank you for mentioning that ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌🙌
👍
Lovely! Thank you for sharing with us!
New sub here! I love the lifestyle you are cultivating, so inspiring
Exactly….👍
That is a beautiful huge garden. I love it
I think some of the reason your seeing new and more pests in this garden rather than your other gardens is due to this being new land. Meaning it appears to not have been gardened prior or in some time. In a year or two, given the way you approach pests, I believe you will see the pressure lighten greatly.
I am beyond amazed. A bountiful harvest, relatively weed free garden and all while maintaining a home and 3 children 1 with Autism. I work a full time job, house stays well relatively clean with 5 autistic kids and a garden where I seem to grow more weedz than veggie plants. What is your secret to success?
Plant radish with cucumber. The bugs don’t like radish. I just leave the radish and let it go to seed for bug help.
I absolutely love your channel 🤍 would you be willing to do a video covering some of the basics of this for beginners who want to get into gardening for the first time?
wow~! beautiful garden!
I was wondering what kind of irrigation system y’all are using? I want to model my garden similarly but we are in a very hot dry area in east Texas. By the way I love your garden and how y’all are running your homestead ! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!
wonder if you put any fertilizer or only compost for your crop? Sae your garlic ( that soft neck spice are huge harvest )
Beautiful job!
Gorgeous garden 👩🏻🌾❤️🌱
Everything looks great!
Can you do a video on that strawberry trimming? Why and how? I had some yummy strawberries this year and some that were really bad tasting, is that from being from a runner plant? Thanks as always for this awesome video!
I'll put it on my list :) Bad taste in strawberries wouldn't come from runner plants. I would guess it would have something to do with the fruit having a disease.
I would also love to see a video when you work on your strawberries! And one on cover crops...when to plant, when and how long to cover them, and to till in or not. Love watching your videos!
Nice one, everything looking great!! :)
Beautiful garden!
Your garden is so beautiful! I love the *idea* of gardening, but it is just *so* much work and I tend to kill plants, so I don’t know if growing food for the whole year is realistic for me, lol.
Wow.. so when will you be planting the onions this year? Gosh.. my Dad would plant carrots and harvest all summer.. he (and I) loved to eat them little. I remember one year, deer ate all of Dads corn 🌽 he was .. not very forgiving
I would love to know the process of where you find your stuff to garden with and where you look for your information for gardening I would also love to have known the process of your house building. That would have been cool. It would be also cool a q&a cuz you guys are the cutest couple ever of to know what you did before this and how you homeschool. Also what about getting some tanks that collect water and put them in your your outer edge of your property where the trees are to help shade it more and having them higher up so that when you use the hose at your garden it would have pressure. Now you would have to hide the hose underneath the ground. That was coming from the tank. I'm not sure if you guys even thought about that or what but just some food for thought
Ok just one last clothes question I promise. Where can I get your adorable hat? I like how it curves down rather than off to the sides and shields your face.
I’m an Aussie living in Lexington my by the way. Married a sweet southern gentleman. We can’t by a farm until our boys finish school. So I’ll make the most of my suburban lot for now. But I really like learning all I can until then. Learning from you fails and successes.
I have a big garden and I don't know how you do it. My garden is a 1/8 of yours. How do you do all this by yourself? This garden is a 4 people work! I just don't know how you do it! Your garden is so big!! So much work, wow
Awesome garden and ideas! How far apart did you space your green garden posts in the tomatoes?
How do you manage the garden/farm and having kids? I struggle w lots of guilt spending time in the garden all,day.
You are very encouraging! Great work!
@@4cs41 her kids help out a lot in the garden
Yes, I feel that sometimes too. My kids aren't as interested in gardening as I am, but they help and have certain things they enjoy doing in the garden. What they do love is playing with chickens and they hang out right by the garden and will sometimes play with them for hours while I'm gardening so we are able to talk but also do what we each enjoy. I also wake up about three hours before my kids do to get the more serious work done. I'm not perfect at this by any means and constantly striving to do better too.
I loved this video!
Thanks so much for sharing. We plan to build this year and hopefully will be moved in my next spring. Im interested in starting a garden on a larger scale and canning. Do you recommend any books to help learn about gardening and canning?
Thank you.
Beautiful 😍
What a beautiful garden. I'm sure you have no terrible sleeping at night. Where do you live? You mentioned winter, so just wondering how harsh your winters are. I am in New England.
Weare in Arkansas. Mild winters, but still fairly cold at times.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thank you. The Natural State. I've never been, but it sure looks beautiful.
Where can I buy lorz Italian garlic?
Also I love your tan overalls. What brand are they?
Thanks so much. Love love you videos!
Thank you, and glad you are enjoying the videos. We buy our Lorz garlic from Keene Garlic (keeneorganics.com)
Work overalls are Dovetail brand, and I absolutely LOVE them. They are specifically designed for women, and look good too :)
Thanks so much. I found the boots and the overalls on Zappos.
Happy thanksgiving in your new home with your home grown food. It must be such a joy to have all the work of building a home and a new garden behind you and settle in for the winter.
Hi there! I think the pea/cucumber interplant is genius. Do you usually direct sow the cucumbers or use soil blocks? Thanks :)
Thank you very much. Yes, much of these skills ae being quickly lost or forgotten in society today. Many of us recall eating canned foods at grandmas house, or helping in the potato cellar, but for whatever reason, this is being left behind. Eek!
i love this channel.
Your garden is so weed free ! Do you just use hay?
...If you only knew...lol. We use hay, and a lot, a lot of mulch to supress the weeds as much as we can. Inevitably, some always find their way thru :)
I can't find the Laura's garlic....where did u purchase it from
Garbanzo beans are pulses so they will look different in their leaves.
New to your channel, I just wanted to say I think you both are amazing ! Because you’re husband got behind you to help you in areas you need support and to move to a farm alone is so wonderful. I pray for you as a family to grow closer tighter and that you’re depression be healed. I think in general everyone struggles with that. I have a young adult who struggle with stomach issues and the depression and anxiety has been so overwhelming. You are right about getting outside.
On average how much do you have to plant a year to produce enough to make it all year?
You're awesome. One of the best garden update vids I've seen. Informative, relatable, real / down to Earth. Gardens looking great. Do the chickens ever munch on your crops? Do you have to supervise them when they are out?
The chickens ate some of their seeds during planting.
@@Beaguins ok so after the plants are decent size it's all good?
@@VanillaAttila I don't think it's a good idea, because chickens like to dig up plants to make dust baths...but some people will take the risk to reduce insects.
@@Beaguins Yeah you're right. I wonder what the perfect animal would be. Maybe small ducks?
@@VanillaAttila I don't like to be always negative, but I've read that ducks are worse than chickens. They love to eat garden plants. :-/
Love your garden too much. But it would be great if you add planting and harvesting part (means the process while you are doing it) in ur video a little bit more
What do you do to keep birds away from eating the corn when its ready?
May I ask in what state you garden and your gardening zone?
We are in Arkansas, zone 6B
I am revisiting this video and I would like more info on how you terminate your cover crops. I don't know if you will see this. I will ask again on a different video. Something more recent.
If you throw poppy seeds on snow they will germinate faster.
I noticed you let your chickens out in your garden. Are you worried that bacteria from their poop is getting on the vegetables?
No, I'm not worried about it. Since they free range within the garden walls they are healthy. It's when chickens are in unhealthy conditions like 50,000 to a chicken house in an industrial setting that you need to worry about the bacteria in chicken manure.
Thank you! And please keep posting. I’d love to see how you prep for the garden during the winter, and hear anything that you’re thinking of doing differently this spring - so I can maybe try it too. Thanks for such uplifting and informative content!
When did you plant your cover crop? I want to try cover crops for next year.
Winter rye was planted in October I believe. It was a little late for it. This year I'm going to get it in September. Peas, oats, and crimson clover were planted March 15... I'm in zone 6b for reference.
What state is this garden in? Growing zone?
I think she's mentioned in a video that she's in AR, which would be zones 6a to 8a. We're getting ready to move to central AR, which is 7b. Doesn't she have such a lovely garden?
Arkansas, zone 6b :)
poppies!! What business are you guys in. LOLOL
how do you water your garden?
right now, by hand(shhh). We plan to install a drip system this spring that will be a real gamechanger!!
What are you going to do with all those bell peppers?
I dehydrate lots and use them in soups through winter. The rest get eaten fresh!
I love the garden. What are the dimensions? And what zone are you in?
Would diatomaceous earth work for cucumber beetles?
I tried diatomaceous earth on the plants early on, it didn't seem to make much difference unfortunately!
I'm new to your channel. Where do you live?
Arkansas
Ty
I don’t know how you do it all.
Sometimes we don't know either. Lol
Hello 👋
How do you tackle weeds?
Also what do you do w all your food ie like celery etc.
@@4cs41 she preserves a lot of her food - freezing, dehydrating, and canning. she had a video a couple of weeks ago about dehydrating her celery and for soups and for salt and one prior for freezing her peas.
I've been hand weeding, using a stirrup hoe, and a scuffle hoe. I love using mulch in walkways. I also just got some new weeding tools to try for the remainder of the year. Still in the testing phase so not ready to recommend anything yet. I'll report back on here though once I have enough time to try them.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead I put down a weed guard like you would in landscaping in between the rows, this has been a game changer for me. I only have to maintain the weeds around my vegetable plants.
Where did you get the tarp?
The tarp we purchased from FarmersFriend.com.
Massive garden. Do you heat with firewood? We're starting out our channel so please check it out!
Thank you, and yes, we've heated our homes with firewood for the past 9 years(this is Cam). This new house we're in we use an outdoor wood boiler, and an indoor wood stove for the shoulder seasons. Plenty of wood chopping going on down here... and just subscribed to your channel. Excited to see you grow!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead Thanks Cam! I've never used a wood boiler but have been watching videos.
