The garden is looking awesome! I feel you about being behind. I live in Northern Lower Michigan, and I just got all my stuff planted in my garden beds last weekend. I like to have it done by Memorial Day. I still have 1 greenstalk to plant with bush beans, and I am going to try to grow sweet potatoes. Might not have time for those, but we'll see. It's busy this time of year but my garden is my happy place.
I know it's another expense, but raising the beds at the bottom could potentially help with drainage issues. I'm not sure if I'd consider it just yet, and I'd probably want to see how wet next year is before committing to something like that, but I do think it might be worth considering if the excess moisture continues long term. On a completely different note, your videos alone have convinced me that I absolutely need runner ducks in my life. I'd been considering ducks before, but these birds just make me smile every time I see them 🖤
Getting so much rain, lol. Here in the Southwest we’re experiencing drought…again….., lol. I’m praying the Lord will share your rain with us. My garden is suffering too. ♥️
In my yard I have areas that like to flood occasionally. I have found that using grow bags or raised beds makes a big difference. I am able to grow in the areas that flood using these items.
Unfortunately Guys, it seems that we have all had a lot of rain in our countries this year, here in the uk it’s been one of our wettest winters ever, and we have been late putting crops out. So it’s fingers crossed for things we have put out. 🤞💋. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
I hope that works for you Well Mother nature has really put a 12 punch on everybody If it doesn’t work, you might have to switch to raised beds some real high ones I actually had some built recently
We are also struggling with SO much rain over the past few weeks (in Missouri) and now it’s so dry my plants don’t know what to do! I have also moved a few of the more sensitive plants to better drained areas, even though they did just fine last year in the same spot 😅
Adding the mulch is such a great idea for weed control and ultimately for soil development buy could it be too "hot" for you plants -- that is, is it stealing nutrients from your pepper plants and that's potentially why they're not thriving in the way you had hoped?
There was only a very very light layer on top of the soil. It’s definitely the water because it’s only in those beds at the bottom of the slope, and the mulch wouldn’t pull nitrogen from the peppers because it’s not near the roots. They were rotted out.
I love how chill these videos are, thanks for letting us hang in your garden while you both work!
Another great day in the garden!🌻🐛🌿💚👍
Nice job getting caught up! On behalf of the ducks thank you!
Haha they love watermelon!
The ducks attacking the watermelon 😅😅😅
Love the ducks eating watermelon!
one day at a time.....love the garden!!!
Awww, the ducks eating watermelon makes me want to get some! ❤❤
Nice recovery, hope you have a bountiful harvest!!!
Thanks! They already seem so much happier 😄
I absolutely love watching you two. Makes me happy y’all being so young and learning and doing a garden. You two complete each other.
Great job noticing an issue and then making the necessary changes to have your plants do better.
I love ALL Calico Cow Acres videos!
That bird singing while you was clearing out the peas - beautiful :) Good job x
Love your garden. I too am using logs and limbs from our property to edge my beds
They make it look so whimsical!
I always enjoy your videos 😊

If possible can you share some in the Mediterranean? 😅
We are dang hot and dry here.

We have had the same problem with the rain. Spots that were great last year are staying overly saturated. I'm glad for a little break this week.

The small onions you can pickle. They make a tasty treat.
definitely adding some to our pickled stuff!
Your cicadas sound so much deferent than ours. 😅
I didn’t know they make different sounds😂 that’s neat!
Hello from Huffman,Texas!

I hear what I think is voice over but not loud enough to discern what’s being said
There’s no voice over, just background
