Absolutely loved watching the transformation of your front yard into a budding flower garden! The dedication to pre-sprouting, carefully planning the garden beds, and ensuring the plants are protected from the cold really shows your passion and expertise in regenerative agriculture. The tips on using hoops and covers for frost protection were super helpful. Can't wait to see the garden in full bloom! We are in the beginnings of our winter garden prep for spring! Wish us luck!
Thanks for taking the time to video this. I learned something from you today ---- I never thought of tying up my plant cover sheet like you had to make it shorter to carrying around. I have been wading it up in one great big mess UNTIL NOW :) Can't wait to see your front yard IN BLOOM !!!
It makes a huge difference! The fabric I didn't tie up is torn and dirty, but the one I did tie up before storing is in much better condition. It's easy, but still sometimes a challenge to get around to doing that one more thing... Along with the hundred other "one more things" on my list 😛
I've had the privilege of owning 3 Aussies in my life, the last one crossed the rainbow bridge about 4 yrs ago. Due to my age and health, I made the decision to not try to have another one. I miss them everyday, but I just wanted you to know that I find great solace watching Copper(who is one of the MOST gorgeous Aussies I've ever seen BTW!)follow and "shadow" you as you work the beds. He is an awesome example of the heart and soul of an Aussie. They are truly dogs like no others! Looking forward to the new front flower gardens as well!! Looking great so far!!
Hoops will have to be something consider for next year. We are still about a month away before I can get things into the ground, but I am itching to. I hope the flowers do well!
Hi Sage, you've built a beautiful place! Can you talk about buying your homestead? Specifically, how did you pick your state, what did you consider when selecting that plot of land, what did you research, or have tested, before selecting the plot you're on?
I've always known that when it came time for me to put roots down and stay somewhere for a while, I wanted it to be in Asheville. NC's climate is also very friendly to homesteading because of the warm weather and rainfall, so that lined up. As far as what I considered in buying the house/land itself, I truly just got what I could (barely) afford. I didn't even test the soil. I didn't have any qualifiers other than a house in livable condition with enough land for gardens and some animals within a certain budget. That being said, I do really appreciate that my property slopes and faces south, that there were already structures here which allowed me to get animals right away, and that it has a good balance of open space and forest.
First just want to say you're beautiful and your smile reminds me of keira knightley. Anyways, great job getting all that work done its going to be beautiful. Do you find starting in trays better than the single cells? My seeds seem to dry out incredibly fast with the single cell.
I personally hate starting seeds in single cell trays. I find that the trays break and I have to wrestle the seedling out of there. I much prefer to use soil blocks. It's more prep, but I'm a fan. For these flowers, I did not start from seed, I started from corms (bulbs). I soaked them for 4 hours and then packed them straight into the 1020 trays as tight as I could manage without letting them touch and left them for a couple weeks to sprout. I find this works much better for me than planting them straight in the ground.
Your pets are awesome! I love watching your videos when I go to bed. So calming. 👍😁🌿🌱🪴
Glad to see your seeding strand wait to see flowers blooming! In zone 5, my garden will wake up in 2 more weeks.subscribed!
Wow Looking forward your your beautifull flower garden. I don't think you will ever regret it or the pollinators it will bring ❤

Happy growing season! I’ve just got my first seeds started 🌱

He's a very good pup! Except when he steps in my garden beds... then we have words.
Cant wait to see how pretty they will be❤

Get a couple pounds of wildflower mix. Hart seed, turner seed...
Spring is just around the corner now... It's so good to see how your seed starts / flowers are doing.

Are you any relation to 'The Shepherdess'?
Nope! She has some interesting content though.
@@terranovaacres you look a bit like her, but you talk very much like her.
@@terranovaacres and even the wildflower mix at dollar tree is great
