Heeeeeey, I’m hearing the My Self Reliance tune! Another favorite channel of mine. Between you guys there is such a library of knowledge on such a variety of homesteading! Great job on the garden and High Tunnel!
I'm "re-watching" some of these older videos tonight, and I am constantly amazed by how hard you guys continuously work!! Not sure how you can both work so hard and such long days, but I certainly admire you both and love all your videos!! Thank you!!
Love this! It’s wonderful to learn so much from you guys in such a great “classroom”. Thank you for sharing your tips and the reasons why you choose certain fertilisers.
That’s quite a garden! I hope it does well and I can’t wait to see how it comes out! Y’all are awesome and I really enjoy your videos. I hope you are monetized well from TH-cam! You put so much into your videos that we get so much out of them and I hope you do too. Keep the moose away! Please let us know if and when your electric fence works out! God bless you both for the work you are doing!
You have a beautiful kitty. Is it a Tom? He is a big boy, his structure. I have 2 kittys 😺 . My 13 year old is a very large structure cat 🐈. He is part White Siberian. He is white and blue eyes. And he has been deaf since he was born. My cats are indoor cats. Because I live in a small City in Manitoba Canada. My female will be 6 on November 3. She is a brown tabby mixed with a cat that have spots , i can't think of their name off hand. She has beautiful markings, however she can get aggressive with the other cat....never a dull moment. Love watching your videos 📹 I can live through you. Well done guy's 👏
I always enjoy your videos fortunately I am in zone 8 b we have 192 growing days so I grow a garden every year and really enjoy the fruits of my labor. Really looking forward to seeing yours.
Nice call on the electric fence. Think the bees will be happier once the new garden starts to grow even more; like how the dust bathing chickens are tilling/fertilizing the compost pile as well. Was interested to hear you're growing corn, and hope it won't poke through the hoop house plastic. Fruit orchard sounds fantastic (good practice to start immediate planting given the years till maturity?). Seems like the rain will add even more moisture to the lasagna beds. Appreciate giving us the tour.
U are great in gardening plus fishing canning it up !!! I love to do more but as time has gone on in life I have gotten older & less limber outside !!! I can do a lot of plants inside but outside it is different !!! So keep on going Arielle I still remember canning in mayo wide mouth jars for whole tomatoes !!! Keep it up with the baby chickens all of it !!!
Just found your channel earlier this week and I love it! I watch these channels everyday and was surprised I hadn't seen your channel before but I'm happy I did. Thank you for everything. I've always been interested in how they grow food in Alaska. Now I know!!💗💗
I recently discovered your channel and i could not be more impressed as i have spent all evening watching your videos..wow you have done your homework!...thanks for sharing.
Holly heck your place is coming along so fast. Your garden is going to be so awesome. I feel the same about fertilizers. You two make the best videos..!! ❤️ Whether looks good there. Have a fantastic day as always you two..!!
Nice garden you have there . Once you have had your garden growing for a few years I would knock off using so much fertilizers . It can get pretty pricey buying all of those things . Used to have a large garden at one time . Only added compost in the fall and spring . Oh yea . Bonemeal as well . It's only me now for a few years so I sodded the entire garden . Now I wish I still had a small part left . Gonna make some outdoor boxes and grow a few tomatoes , green beans and peppers . Watching these garden videos has peaked my interest in having a garden again .
Henry Rodgers yes you are right, we plan to use mostly compost in the future, just wanted to give our new garden a boost with the fertilizers we already had!
Lots of work today, but you really got so much accomplished. You have what appears to me a pretty large garden with so many different foods! Will you really be able to eat it all? It seems like that garden will grow a lot of food! Am anxious to see how the new things you've added this year works out for you. You must be tired with all the projects You've had this spring!
I'm so excited for you both with all the infrastructure and planting etc that you are slamming through really quickly. As I said last time proud of you both. It's like watching my own girls working lol, one is 35 and the other turns 31 this year. Your property is looking wonderful now with everything you are doing. I hope you both feel very accomplished indeed. Hugs Michelle
Just found your channel. I'm impressed. I like the calming music you've been using in these last few videos, thanks for that. ; ) Hope to see the fence in action sometime. Thanks.
Some good tips. I do quite a lot of gardening but always learning more. I'd bet your compost with chicken manure mixed in will cover most of your future needs. Compostable trellis string is a great idea. Love the cat.
Loraine Leuschke we did a June and July garden tour and will be releasing a greehouse update soon ☺ th-cam.com/video/cTA22UVJPRI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/y16js5b3OJQ/w-d-xo.html
Wood as is a great source for potassium and lime. You can sprinkle it or add to your compost. You’ve got lots. Also comfrey is a great add to fertilizer or compost.
I'm really liking the plant choices. It's actually kind of nice that your soil is slightly acidic. That's really good for most plants. Ours is slightly alkaline. We may need to adjust that a bit.😬
For space in storage we grow green beans and we snap them and string them up using a needle and twine and then hang them to dry. Soak them before you cook.
Rosa Rugosa is a very, very invasive bush rose. You should have seen how it has spread along the beaches here. They have filled up massive areas. And I can't get rid of it on my cabin property. The previous owner planted some bushes here. And new ones just keep popping up everywhere.
Annie thanks that is good to know, they do well here and I have heard they spread. I was a little stubborn on this rose, I love the fragrance but it may be a headache later.
Great video as always. I'm glad I waited until the end of the video, because I saw the trail cam behind the compost pile and was going to ash if you seen any critters on it.
Hello there I just watched your latest video where you harvested those potatoes it was amazing by the way. So I had to come back to see when you had first planted them. Great video and learned quite a few things so for that I thank you like I said on my last comment I do believe I'm going to learn a lot from your videos 😇
I used polytubing and micro spray risers on my garden. Put the tubing below ground and make sure the risers are only 15cm long so they water the base only. Using a microspray head on the risers ensures a good watering and a lot less wastage. My garden thrived. Now im doing wicking as we cant use the ground but whatever i do, i put the time in to make a “lazy”, productive garden ☺️
I'm moving back to Alaska in the next month from Florida and building my place on a piece of property I have in Soldotna. I love following your channel for inspiration and knowledge. Next time you head to the Kenai you will have a place to stay, I'll even show you a few spots to avoid the combat fishing, and you always limit out. Great stuff! Thanks guys!!
Beautiful garden, nice high tunnel have you thought to go to a double wall with a fan creating a bubble and to add additional insulation to extend your growing season. Thanks great video.
Check on Hostas Spelling?? Is there enough time to grow? Need 5 or 6 plants... When they start to grow 6 or 8 inches.. Take 5 or so sprouts from each one and you cook them just like asparagus yum! When the leaves come out--cook them just like spinach! Yum!! Try it!! will come back year after year!!!!
Plant your tomatoes deeper, roots are the key to them. If you cant get them deep lay them on their side and cover them up to the last tow sets of leaves. after a day they will be up right.
For the greenhouse you should explore Grow Mats. They come in 20 foot's lengths and use about 20 watts of power are vinyl coated and harbor freight 100-watt solar panel will power them nicely. the generate 65 - 70 degrees.
Jeff Strong we have 3 small seed mats but I will have to look into these long ones! Sadly we don't have harbor freight here 😞 was my favorite store back in Oregon.
This fall plant annual clover in and around the compost pile. great source of nitrogen also Compost tea is good for powdery mildew and black spot and is a good topical fertilizer.
rosemary will perennialize once large bush size in basically any climate it has to get solid woodish in the middle and at the base we had 2 in az and we never watered them. it takes plenty of container grow time you'd have to grow it in the house during winter for 2 to 3 years and not harvest anything from it but once done you have a constantly renewing source of rosemary
random chicks music, thank you for the tips. I do want to bring them inside but was thinking I may need to provide light for them since we get down to only 3 hours or so of daylight in the winter.
FYI you can pick your rose hip heart out in early summer as wild roses grow literally everywhere up here. Didn’t need to waste space for rose plants when I’m sure half your property has them growing everywhere. Pink flowers that don’t really look like typical rose but the hips do. Ask a local they will point them out to you.
awesome work and videos i subscribed .miniture roses have many colors and also blueberry bushes are ez to culture grow and sell good . if u want something to make money on and also they r both sturdy plants that dont demand much time . iam sure u have enough of clippings on blueberries that saves u money and just peat moss n water to put clippings in a green house can push growth also thanks jerry
I don't know what I would do without your show. I'm handicap but I use to garden all the time. 30x40 grew everything I could grow. Love your show.
I love how the dogs are both right there not missing anything lol
Heeeeeey, I’m hearing the My Self Reliance tune! Another favorite channel of mine. Between you guys there is such a library of knowledge on such a variety of homesteading! Great job on the garden and High Tunnel!
Your dogs are gorgeous!
I'm "re-watching" some of these older videos tonight, and I am constantly amazed by how hard you guys continuously work!! Not sure how you can both work so hard and such long days, but I certainly admire you both and love all your videos!! Thank you!!
Omg potatoes are my favourite vegetable to harvest too, you are right, it is just like a treasure hunt. I love it! Great video, thank you so much.
Love this! It’s wonderful to learn so much from you guys in such a great “classroom”. Thank you for sharing your tips and the reasons why you choose certain fertilisers.
Wow you are doing an awesome job. It looks like a commercial Garden. And I love your three helpers 👍🐕🐕🐈 and you're so knowledgeable .great channel.
Arielle is very knowledgeable when it comes to gardening and different kind of plants.
I love your garden so much, it’s so organized. You make it look easy
That’s quite a garden! I hope it does well and I can’t wait to see how it comes out! Y’all are awesome and I really enjoy your videos. I hope you are monetized well from TH-cam! You put so much into your videos that we get so much out of them and I hope you do too. Keep the moose away! Please let us know if and when your electric fence works out! God bless you both for the work you are doing!
Thank you for inspiring me to get back out there in the garden!
I took a mini vacation from work this week and I have been binge watching all of your channel from the beginning. Loving it!

Wow, what a garden and to think of all the food you will be able to can and have during the winter.
I always enjoy your videos fortunately I am in zone 8 b we have 192 growing days so I grow a garden every year and really enjoy the fruits of my labor. Really looking forward to seeing yours.
I’m so excited for both of you... your garden gonna be awesome looking forward to see the results👏👏👍
Wow you two are working your butts off - looking really great. How exciting to watch what happens this first year in Alaska.
Nice call on the electric fence. Think the bees will be happier once the new garden starts to grow even more; like how the dust bathing chickens are tilling/fertilizing the compost pile as well.

J K i can only hope our corn gets that big!

Thank you. just found your channel. I will be living my Alaska dreams through you.
Karen Andrian appreciate you watching the channel 😁
Envious of your garden, such a variety of vegetables and fruits. Very interested in how the poly tunnel performs. 😃👍👏👏👏
You did a great job with putting up the fence. I love the chickens. I raised on a farm and we always had plenty of eggs. Great going. Loved the video.
Bo is best fertiliser showing assistant 👌
The garden looks great, the hoop house is a great place to hang out when the weather is bad.
Just found your channel earlier this week and I love it! I watch these channels everyday and was surprised I hadn't seen your channel before but I'm happy I did. Thank you for everything. I've always been interested in how they grow food in Alaska. Now I know!!💗💗

Same here, I'm a new subscriber and have watched a bunch of their videos.
Jeez, these chickens are the cutes little things.
your side kicks are super cute & very well behaved.
Holly heck your place is coming along so fast. Your garden is going to be so awesome. I feel the same about fertilizers. You two make the best videos..!! ❤️ Whether looks good there. Have a fantastic day as always you two..!!
living Off Grid McGarvey style, wish we could catch up with you over there! Can't wait until I can my hands on just one leaf :)

WOW you two really know your gardening.You will have tons of fresh veggies and berries. looking forward to seeing the progress.

Am anxious to see how the new things you've added this year works out for you. You must be tired with all the projects You've had this spring!
Jeffery Holmes we plan on doing a lot of canning and preserving stay tuned!!
one little hint , put pine needles in the spuds and onions and they will grow like mad , you ask why its from acid , but good job
4:46 Hey kitty 🤭😏😛
Very knowledgeable info on farming.
Love from India ❤️
You two are unbevable. Hats off to both of you. Really enjoy your videos
Love your canine helpers. Can't wait to see the garden as it progresses.
I'm so excited for you both with all the infrastructure and planting etc that you are slamming through really quickly. As I said last time proud of you both.

Bo McGillacutty thank you! Yes we can not wait to have chicken manure again :)
Looks great.

All I can say is WOW, nothing else lol
Your garden looks so amazing!! I can’t wait to see your harvest!!
Great information. I’m the kind of person who wants all my fertilizer in one bag.🤣 Great work.
Big happy dog.
As my Dad used to say 'the best fertilizer is the gardener's shadow' :-)
I'm cultivating blackberries and they LOVE pot ash!
Great job, your garden is beautiful !! I remember when you had that earthquake awhile back, your Homestead has really grown.
You’re just like me. My garden was like landscape art... lol. Beautiful job
Really glad your subscriber numbers are growing fast,due to a great channel.👍🏻
Killing it at homesteading in Alaska

Wow Amazing information & skills & knowledge you have out there.
Very impressive .
I miss gardening life my fewrit places alaska
that was a good one Arielle.u were saying how u prefer to water by hand.and then at the end of that vid u were using an automatic watering hose,lol.
Really fun to watch you hard workin’ peeps. Very informative and also great film presence!
Awesomeness gardening lots of fun 🐈🐕🐈🐕🐈🐕😋😉
This is exciting! New subscriber today after these vids.. Continue with the good work both of you. Best regards from Norway :)
Jan Robert Engen, thanks for watching :)
For space in storage we grow green beans and we snap them and string them up using a needle and twine and then hang them to dry. Soak them before you cook.
can't wait for the harvest - well done
Wow, I am very proud of you. I do not understand English. I am very impressed with you. I am from Algeria and my wish is to be like you.
Rosa Rugosa is a very, very invasive bush rose. You should have seen how it has spread along the beaches here. They have filled up massive areas. And I can't get rid of it on my cabin property. The previous owner planted some bushes here. And new ones just keep popping up everywhere.
Annie thanks that is good to know, they do well here and I have heard they spread. I was a little stubborn on this rose, I love the fragrance but it may be a headache later.
Found your channel yesterday---great videos, hope the spring planting goes well. thanks,
Man, that looks really good. I can’t wait to see all the hard work pay off. Ha you already have some unwanted dinner guest showing up.
My Alaska Dream, we were surprised to see her, it has been awhile since we saw one on our road but we see the tracks often.
Your dogs love you that is so cute
Can't wait to see them grow!
Great video as always. I'm glad I waited until the end of the video, because I saw the trail cam behind the compost pile and was going to ash if you seen any critters on it.
BigPrepperAZ, there hasn't been any other action on it, we have several so we will be sure to post it if we see anything :)

I barley started watching your guys video an I really enjoyed watching them all the way from Quincy Washington

Saint Robert's thanks for watching the channel, wishing you a safe journey back ☺
wow lots of work love your vids....
Beautiful garden, nice high tunnel have you thought to go to a double wall with a fan creating a bubble and to add additional insulation to extend your growing season. Thanks great video.
Doug Gibson we have looked into it but with our small solar set up we didn't want to power a fan that much.
This was the video I was waiting for before subscribing.
Lets see how this garden grows!
Very industrious. Good job!
Awesome job guys garden is looking good😎
love the chick enclosure - great! :)
Check on Hostas Spelling?? Is there enough time to grow? Need 5 or 6 plants... When they start to grow 6 or 8 inches.. Take 5 or so sprouts
from each one and you cook them just like asparagus yum! When the leaves come out--cook them just like spinach! Yum!! Try it!! will come back year after year!!!!
joe parker, that sounds wonderful! We will look into it :)
I see your animals are helping 🥰🥰
love it , love it love it!.....
Have you looked into making Bio char for your soil ? It's really good for improving soil over the long term
Plant your tomatoes deeper, roots are the key to them. If you cant get them deep lay them on their side and cover them up to the last tow sets of leaves. after a day they will be up right.
Looks amazing!!
I am really glad I found your channel! Your gardening knowledge seems huge.
Like this channel. Good information, great presentation! Looking forward to future episodes. Ukudigal

Ed Fischer thank you!
another idea for next year is to use field fencing for your plants to climb. You can even tie your plants to this.
awesome work and videos i subscribed .miniture roses have many colors and also blueberry bushes are ez to culture grow and sell good . if u want something to make money on and also they r both sturdy plants that dont demand much time . iam sure u have enough of clippings on blueberries that saves u money and just peat moss n water to put clippings in a green house can push growth also thanks jerry
Realy good job
You can use sisal baling twine for your trellis...it's cheap and it will compost nicely.
James Couch, Great idea! Thanks :)
