If you plant fruit trees, plant Rhubarb under them. Its a biodynamic regulator. When the leaves turn brown, mulch them on top. The roots & leaves feed the tree.
It is a beautiful garden. I call my garden my sanctuary, because, I get out there and am alone with God. I sometimes think that is why Jesus went to the garden to pray. Send 💕💕💕 love and hugs 🤗🤗🤗 to you and your beautiful family.
I’m in town but back onto a farmers field. His field floods our backyard because of the slope. Our neighbour has been trying to get the farmer to install a drain system to help but it never happened. He told us to complain to the township so he would do it. We moved in 5 years ago and I dug up all the burdock along his field edge and planted raspberries. No more flooding!!!
"We're actually doing this and not sucking at it" You're hilarious and I love you!!😂 I love your garden and the idea of all of the snacking stations ❤️
I really enjoyed this video because you seem to enjoy your garden, which can get lost in all the work you need to do to create the garden. The joy of it is something I've made myself focus more on recently. Thanks for sharing!!
My garden is my happy place! To commune with God, relax and enjoy nature He created. Those extra blackberry you can dig up and move to other parts of your property if you really want fruits all over. We do that each year and I'm already finding more that I'll transplant in the fall. I just found your channel and you have so much planted together and I love that! My garden is getting that way. Enjoy!
Oh thank you so much for joining us Jennie, and HUGE congratulations on your garden!!! Oh and YES!!!! We are absolutely going to take your advise on the blackberries, fantastic idea!!! 😁😁
I'm in North West Wisconsin, and get that feeling of being "out of it" while watching gardens from the South. I grow what I can, and LOVE my garden. But always enjoy watching others on how they garden, and get so many ideas from all of them. Thanks for sharing!
That is true, we always know that we have a weird season compared to most. But thank you so much Dorri for watching our channel, it really does mean a lot!!
Vision, when I was a kid someone long ago, had planted red raspberries along all the field fences. They had grown into huge arching lines of bushes that outlined all the fields covering the hidden barbed wire....it was was beautiful and amazing! Highly recommend ❤
@@BetterTogetherLife in the spirit of your snacking stations...we would ( carefully 🤣) build forts under the raspberry and blueberry bushes...yes, they were " that" big...perfect stayover...at the " snacking station" eat the roof, the walls.... lol
Loved watching this. You're hilarious. For figs, the female flower is inside the fruit, lets out a scent that attracts a wasp, and she pollinates the the fruit. The blackberries are called canes, or generically referred to as a briar... a thorny stem, like that of a rambling rose. I'm sat here in the UK still not officially past our last frost date for a few weeks yet, and I think you have more heat now than most of our average summer temps. Our Blackberries are still in bed lol
I got that “I grew this” feeling last year, I grew tomatoes, peppers and bush beans! I was so proud of myself! This year I have planted Garlic and onions (red and yellow) I can’t wait to see how they grow! 😊
Double Header on the Calendula petals…”I think you made that up.” 18:34 “I did, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work!” 😂🤣🤭” Make stuff up in your garden, call it whatever the heck you want.” LOL🤣😂😆 Girl, you are my people. I love everything about this.💞
@@BetterTogetherLife Oh, I am SO looking forward to seeing that! And I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to get outside and work on my own garden today even though it’s not the greatest weather to work in. (Off and on rain.) I needed that motivation. Your video made a difference to me and my garden.
Yes ma’am there’s plenty of y’all Texas homesteaders I watched a lot of Texas homesteaders. I’m here in Houston. I’m in the city, but I have a great garden. I ate a great production out of my garden. I even we eat well with it, and I even pass out some to the neighbors and friends some things are so prolific that it’s too much for us🌱🌱🌱
Sweet pea has always been one of my all time favorite scents and I legitimately 3 days ago realized I could grow them and bought seeds today to hopefully plant outside tomorrow after they soak overnight. I looked it up and the hornworms turn into sphinx/hawk moths/hummingbird moths.
❤❤❤Love this tour❤❤❤ Many fruit trees need a pair to pollinate, however self pollinating fruit trees do better with pairs. That may be why the start but don’t grow. Ben & Meg are great at planting trees with comfrey and berries together. You are doing a great job. Food forests are amazing.
I use those little windmills from Dollar Tree all over my garden and it seems to keep out the voles /moles very well as they don’t like the vibrations. About your fig tree, I believe if you just put another one nearby you will have a lot more figs. That’s what happened in my garden in Georgia. Thanks for the video! Mine is much like yours, 7 acres, lots of variety, not much weeding but trying to keep the ground covered.
Your garden is beautiful. It makes me so happy Watching you enjoy your garden. You're so sweet. Thank you for sharing. I'm happy to have a new friend. Thank you, jess, from roots and refuge.
Hey Kelly and Beau,I saw you on the girls channel and then...no Tea😢. I'm so pleased to hear that you girl's got together for Meg🎉. I am so far away ,I'm so glad she has you special women❤. Is there something iff the cuff she might need? I love the idea of a snack and walk 🤣! I wish I could grow mulberry trees,to cold here. I cant eat raspberry seeds and thats my favorite berry😢. I tried for 2 years to get them to climb but I found they need a ton of nurients so inter planting didn't work. I dod how ever plant them in a hanging basket and fed them well. They are kind of like a Tomatoe in a hanger don't put too many seeds in K. So much to say oh my🤭. JO JO IN VT 💞
I have mature mulberry trees (30 year old) they still produce their fruit…birds get to the majority of them , before my family does. I have made many mulberry tart pies w/the mulberry filling …I put into the pie crusts. I haven’t made them in 4 years! Keep well & enjoy gardening & transplanting! Bye👋
You should go check out the homesteads in Tennessee Colony,Tx( close to Palestine.) I hear they have homestead groups over there, like a ton of 5 acre tracts for dirt cheap
I totally love trees, fruit trees, the best and yes, them trees need to come out of that pot and put them in the ground. I will do it now before we get any Texas freezes here .,in I’m in Houston.🌱🌱🌱 🍐
Oh well Houston has some of the BEST growing seasons! It is almost a sub tropical growing season. You can grow avocados and citrus and basically ANYTHING!! 😁😁
Oh that’s so awesome thank you Bob for joining us!!! Yes Jess is AMAZING!!! Can’t wait to get working on my “Video Dairy” of my trip to see all of those awesome ladies. Thank you so so much!!!!
Kelly: You totally had me at "garden snacks." LOL = = = = = = = = = Also, in reply to the question about figs... here's something from HGTV's site on that. **Do you need 2 fig trees to get fruit?** _Figs are self-pollinating, so you don't need multiple plants to get fruit- but you do need to avoid crowding plants if you're adding more than one to your yard. Some fig varieties have invasive roots that may damage pipes, sidewalks or driveways._
David!!!!! How have you been? So glad to talk to you again! Ok that is super awesome to know about the figs, hopefully it’ll begin fruiting again. Thanks again for watching and hanging with us!
@@BetterTogetherLife These days, my answer to the question 'How have you been?' goes something like this: _"Hangin' in there... and as long as that phrase doesn't come before the words_ 'by a thread' _or_ 'from a rope', _things should be all right."_ 😉 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Honestly, there's been a lot of things that have happened since we last touched base...

You mentioned hornworms. They get huge , almost pinky finger sized. The ones who eat on mulberry trees are safe for bearded dragons to eat and are usually sold in my area for close to $2.00 each for that purpose. There are also some that feast on tomato plants and poinsonous to bearded dragons. They are a soft hairless catepillar , meaning no fuzz. Fuzzy caterpillars in my area sting and some folks are highly allergic. Hornworms that feast on mulberry can be a source of income if raised in the right conditions . Might be worth doing some research on them.
Just make sure to do some research and perhaps speak with a reptile breeder for all info on the worms/ feeder insects before jumping into it! Something simple like feeding a bug the wrong foods can easily kill a reptile. Hornworms are my beardie's favorite food !
Figs need full sun to fruit, and heavy mulching in the winter months - do this and they will go crazy, I would actually move it out of the garden because it will overtake it.
@@BetterTogetherLife I haven't ever tried that but I was over 400lbs and have autoimmune disease....I had to cut a lot of veggies that flare it up. Peppers were the worst 😢😭 I love them....they don't love me. So .... I cut A LOT....there's few things I can eat so I have to vary the ways I cook them. Radishes made excellent "potatoes." I cut A LOT of carby veggies mostly. My a1c was over 13 at one point....now it's 6 and holding. I've come off a lot of meds. Especially pain meds.
I love y'all's garden and how it is flourishing and getting better with each season. Any thoughts about row planting in your future? I used to help my grandmother with row planting on about a half acre.
Thank you so much Ray! Yes, it is finally beginning to feel like progress. Especially compared to the last several years! Are you growing anything this year?
@@BetterTogetherLife I work at a motel in Littlefield texas. And I am trying to turn the RV Park area into a Oasis in the desert and small pet farm for the kids that travel to come and have a garden to play in and animals to play with

Wait wait wait, how is your calendula so grown out already?! I’m in North Texas and my calendula got DEMOLISHED by some kind of pest! I’ve struggled to grow calendula and have only had success in the fall!
Sad you "neighbor" felt the need to put up that "wall". I guess their lifestyle isn't like yours. I wish we still had our family farm here in NC. It had been in our family since the 1700's and once covered half the county. In my great grandmother's will she wanted sold. I guess because none of her children wanted to be farmers. I would have. Born 2 generations too early. My point is, my great grandfather was best friends with his neighbor farmer. I loved the stories of the two of them. We do still own part of the farm as our family cemetery. That is where the history of my family will end.
I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! You are such a joy! I’m a second year gardener and recently started a channel to document my journey. I feel so much closer to God, the Earth and honestly MYSELF through gardening. It’s truly wonderful. 🥹
