#selfsufficiency #growingfood
My hubby and I are both disabled and only live off of disability. It is not easy nor do I wish it upon anyone. Im on like 13 different medications and he has a infusion that costs about $25k a year after we get assistance. The thing is ..my hair is a hawt mess, im overweight and man I love watching your vlogs when I can. Just truly yoir hair shows how eating this way, living this way, has sooo many benefits. Happy babies who learn so much. You both are so hardworking. Its just inspiring to see your homestead. Much Aloha for sharing such a beautiful life with us!💕💕
The opening scene Becky with your Beautiful smile was awesome! I love the part with Dax and Noelle too!! What you are doing to being self-sufficient is so inspiring, keep up the great work!! And thank you for sharing with us! A friend from afar! D
Noelle's voice sounds just like yours : ) Great garden tour, impressive!!!! You are such a hard working family.
Do you grow tromboncino / rampicante squash? They can be eaten very small as summer squash or left to mature as winter squash. They’re so tasty and extremely vigorous and productive. They can put up a good fight against squash bugs and their thin stem is more resistant to borers.
Very nice garden tour! New to your channel and subscribed! Looking forward to watching your earlier videos as well! Blessings on your family and your growing homestead! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿💚🙏💕
Love how Dax snacks on Basil just like you. 😊
I would love a video about your garlic, if possible. I live outside Chicago and I just harvested Music garlic. I cured it outdoors for a 10 days then trimmed the stalks, the roots, and put them in a mesh bag for storage. It didn't look like you trimmed your stalks or roots, in this video. Did you end up doing that? Also, I brought the bulbs into the basement but they smelled strongly of garlic so I moved it outside to my garage. Will the garlic smell dissipate with time? Since hardneck doesn't store long, I usually freeze some whole cloves that I use when making stock in the winter. Thanks for your videos. I learn a lot from you! :)
Yes, we did the exact same thing. Let it dry in the shed for a few weeks then trimmed them up. We froze a lot of it in oil last year.
It's amazing how far your garden has come since 2020! Good job family 😁
Do you feed the chickens any of the older lettuce? I thought they would love that.
I am just so amazed at how beautiful everything is! How are all of your berries and the orchard looking? Have you had any good berry harvests? Thank you so much for the garden tour. It is so beautiful ❤️
Thanks Joanna! We are getting a pretty good berry harvest this year, finally. It has taken a long time to get the weeds managed in that area. I love that idea about the lettuce. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to do that😊
@@TheSeasonalHomestead I am happy to hear about the berries 😁👏👏👏
Yes, the chickens would love it along with any cabbage greens or any other greens too 👍
The best method I've found for squash bugs is a pump up sprayer with water and a tiny bit of dawn dish soap. Make sure the nozzle is on mist so that it sprays soap suds. Spray the squash bugs with suds and they usually die within a minute.
Thanks ! I'm going to try this!
I am wondering if there is a predator that would eat the squash bugs. Is there something you can plant to attract them. The pump sprayer sounds good.
@@jeanettefrancis6473 Haven't heard of any, most will say predators stay away from them because they stink when squashed.
I use this method, also! It really works!
@@jeanettefrancis6473
I have frogs and toads that chow down on them. But I'm still having a hard time controlling them later in the season.
Love watching!
Hi! Do you make your own hay for the winter?
"cheese" pumpkin is so weird every time I hear it. Why are they cheesy!??! 😅 🧀
it is a blessing to have a family member contribute on helping with garden
What an amazing garden! You are an inspiration to gardeners and homesteaders.
I really felt Noelle’s “I don’t know what happened to that one”, haha!!
I love how you let the kiddos grow what they want and learn. When I have projects I get very protective and don't let anyone help. However with gardening I'm trying to get past that and let the kids learn with me and we gave them gardens to grow as well! It's been fun and we are learning so much. ❤❤❤
I love that your kids have their own gardens. You can see their pride in what they have accomplished. You are building character while growing food.
I noticed your asparagus. Please show how to grow and care for the asparagus through winter. I lost all but one this last year. ❤
Me and my wife are litterally in love with you! You are so inspiring, so much energy. You are giving us so many motivation to do more with our garden, greenhouse, etc! We are from Montreal Canada. Continue your videos, we really appreciate your passion. 🥰
Me watching from Gatineau Canada.. nice to see ppl near me inspired from same video
Marigold come in 2 varieties. Your cut flower type is the African marigold that get 3-4 ft tall and are supposed to be supported. The other kind is dwarf marigolds that are more of a ground cover. I grew the African last year and I was not expecting them to be so huge so I looked into it 😂
The tall ones work better for pest reduction though on tomatoes and peppers because they are VERY fragrant
Appreciate all the work you put into your videos and your channel. It matters. Keep going.
Nice gardens Dax and Noelle! Seeing the video clip from 2020 to today it’s remarkable how much the kids have grown in size and skill. Things are coming along so beautifully. What a blessing those tunnels are. Thanks for sharing your garden with us.
That vining weed you identified looks like a maypop--native vining passionflower that fruits if you have some genetic diversity in that area. Very difficult to get rid of...but perhaps worth keeping some of it. Very pretty flowers.
Wish this video last for hours❤❤❤
Beautiful garden! Can't imagine how much effort and time you put into that but it's definitely worth it!
I've been growing the jade green beans for several years now...they never disappoint! They produce so incredibly well! Your garden is magnificent! I wish I was able to plant as much as you guys.
Thanks for this, what an amazing garden project! Before you eat home grown wheat please look into micro toxins like don, that can come from fusarium infection of the wheat, to make sure you are comfortable eating it.
I love the way your garden tour also turns into a to do list with smiles to Cam when it’s a job you know you’ll need help with. Families growing food together is such a joy. Glad to see your tomatoes are doing so much better this year!
"This is a random lettuce" NOM NOM.
😂😂 That's what gardens are for!
Ohhh the duct tape thing is so smart!!
In your blog I saw you use(d) blood meal for your tomatoes. I used blood meal when transplanting into the ground which resulted in beautiful green plants but now they are in the flower stage and the flowers are dying instead of turning into tomatoes. Do you fertilize your tomatoes again in the flower phase with something else?
Thank you for taking your time to keep us up on how your amazing garden is progressing. You all are such hard workers.
Beautiful garden and very productive! God bless you and your family! Keep on going! ❤
Your garden is gorgeous;;; you have a beautiful family;; I hope they all grow up to be gardeners.
I got blister beetles on my potatoes for the first time this year when I mulched with hay. I actually mulched with waste alfalfa just to use it up, to later realize that is their main host plant!
What a wonderful garden😊hubby👨🏻🌾 you 👩🏼🌾and the children 😊great family❤
I always love seeing your garden and it never fails to make me long for a bite of your produce. I’ll be very interested to see how the wheat experiment goes. Planting, harvesting and milling your own wheat! I can’t wait to see how that first loaf turns out!
Your homestead and family are seriously amazing ❤
Thank you and your family for the tour of your garden in June 2024🧑🌾
Always happy to see a new video from your family!
Very informative tour!!! You've come a long way in your information & talking to the camera over the years & it blows m y mind how quickly the kids are growing up & are still so interested in gardening! Well done, to all of you.
Gary from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Great to get update and everything looks great, so cute the kids planting their own area, looking forward to next update.
Thank you for the tour, Becky (and children). Garden is looking super organised and ready to burst with food. I’m glad you’ve found successful ways to control weeds. Loving the tunnel gardens.
Not seen the bouquet dill before. It looks much more productive/bushy for harvesting to dry. Is it less likely than the tall variety to go to seed? And is the seed good for harvesting too? How was your garlic harvest?
Always enjoy your videos.
Hello. Bravo, good work! Have a beautiful summer and a super, nice, funny day. Bye. Rudi.
We do a 1/4 acre of wheat. Best way we have found to harvest is to pop all the heads off (this takes forever but makes everything else fast.) then we have a cheap Harbor Freight chipper ($90) that cleans the wheat so fast and then you can easily blow the chaff with a box fan. (also works with oats, but not dry beans lol)
15:75 is there a video explain what you plant i why before vegetables? If not - can you explain for beginner?
Love this video, thank you so much! We had such an issue with squash bugs this summer. 😢 Love to see how your harvest is coming along!
Hi, how many total square feet are your gardens? I’m not sure how much to plant. Thanks!
What do you do with your Beauregarde Peas? How do you serve them? Do you just eat them fresh or do you have any tricks for saving them?
If it helps.. when I direct seed my corn, I just plant some extras in cells for filling any gaps.
The weeds you pulled up in your snap pea bed are native passion fruits also called mollypops. They taste really good and have beautiful flowers you can make tea out of, but they will get out of control.
Lovely garden. Do you leave the paper down when you remove the plants or do you remove it and put it into compost?
Looking for a video on how you do with your drip system. Could you do a video on that as some point? What has held up over the years and what has not?
Lovely!!! Have you ever had to deal with onion flies? This is my first year with onions and they were so big and beautiful and I was so excited. Until we found onion flies and now I see as I cut my onions that there are maggots between the layers. I'm so sad about it!!
Thanks! No not yet. That is a bummer! I’m sorry. It’s always disappointing to have a crop ruined by bugs. We do get thrips every year on the onions, but they mostly affect the green tops not the bulbs. Hopefully you can find a solution for next year 🤞
Do you have to replace your strawberry plants or do they do okay coming back every year?
Love the set up! I notice you have a much around tour plants. What are you using to mulch?
Would be interesting if you feel up to sharing a bit about your church going 👍🏻
Saludos hermosa familia es uno de mis sueños pero aquí son muy caros los terrenos los felicito hermosa familia Dios los bendiga 🙏 saludos desde Chihuahua México
i run a farm to table spice company we use the green part of walking onions for onion powder
Do you find that the heat of the tunnels dries out the soil faster than the soil that's not under the tunnels?
Thanks again for sharing ... always interesting.
really nice garden. thank you for sharing.
I wish you Becky more tunnels in future ❤❤❤
Diatomaceous earth mixed with water and spray it EVERYWHERE (tops sides and underneath leaves fruits and veggies. Bugs soft underbellies literally get cut up. Also hits eggs.
Do you know hppen to know the ratio of DE to water? Thanks
Such an inspiration, as always ❤
Great jobs Farming Gardening .
So I'm growing holy basil this year, first time, and why do the flowers smell like butt?!?!? So gross lol. I made my daughter and husband smell it and they while mad at me for making them smell it, both also said it smelled like butt, so it wasn't just me. The leaves smell good. Do you use this like regular basil? Beautiful garden btw, you all put a lot of hard work into it and should be very proud!
It tastes like vomit to me. I grew it a couple of years ago, but couldn’t use it because of the disgusting taste. A lot of people use it for tea, but you have to use it in moderation because there are some side effects in higher doses.
Ok I am glad I am not the only one that does not enjoy the smell of the flowers (though the bees seem to love it, lol). I am nervous now…I was going to try using it for tea.
@@aileenbell6750 yeah I have something like 5 plants and all flowering. I didn't know there were side effects. Going to have to research this one
@@squashit339 Just don’t drink more than 3 cups of holy basil tea a day and you should be fine. But always research any herbal medicine because it can interact with certain medications.
Great info, thanks for sharing, planting corn in squares instead of rows, have not heard that before, hopefully works for other plants as I don't plant corn, what is your zone there? I'm in zone 6 in the north so a lot of your plant choices may not work for me.
We are zone 6b… though technically they just switched us to 7a. But I don’t really believe that. My garden thermometer has our low temp at 0 degrees or below every winter. Average last frost last week of April, average first frost second week of October.
How do you maintain a garden that huge and deal with weeds!? I just get overwhelmed and end up letting it all go and my harvest suffers 😢
Oh don’t be fooled. We get weeds for sure. Lots of cardboard, cover crops, and good ‘ol picking weeds to keep the issue manageable. -Cam
what a wonderful life 💗
I am curious why you live where you live? I don’t believe your from that area? Love your content!
Thanks! No, not originally from here but we love it! We’re in Arkansas because of Cam’s job.
One of the things that makes it harder for me is that, when I see a plant not doing well, I don't think "That plant needs fertilizer". I think "There's something lacking/wrong in the soil. It needs amendments (usually compost)".
I've never used fertilizer and am trying to grow some tender perennials in pots. Seems they need water soluble fertilizer.
I've been considering making compost tea for some garden plants that is always a struggle for me.
I really enjoyed the tour! Your gardens are beautiful. Burpless cucumbers apparently don’t attract squash bugs etc. I’m growing them myself this year with others as an experiment to see for myself 😉
Inspiration ❤❤❤
Amazing garden! Thanks for sharing! You guys are such an inspiration.
You sound as tired as I feel. Thanks for sharing your labor of love with us.
Lovely garden tour.
Are all your bed lengths the same?
If you had the chance to change the lengths longer/shorter, would you?
Great video!
Yes, all started at 100 ft long. They are now about 95 feet because we added borders. I think 50 feet long is ideal for a family. I often split the rows in half when planting one crop because that is the right amount.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead
This is very useful.
Thank you!
Hi, I find your videos very interesting. We farm and garden, but you plant a way bigger garden than I do. Question... I saw u have some wood chips down, I believe. Do you do no till? Because I learned that it's not ok to till those down
Hi Becky,
Would you or could you do a map of how you do the annual planning with the cover crops. We will be buying land soon, and I want to get our veggies started as soon as we are able.
You inspire me🪻
Thank you🌷
Everything looks so healthy and green and super delicious 😋 great job family!!
Didn’t Riggs have a birthday this month 🥳
Can you give us an idea of the literal lay of your land. The overall garden space, dimensions, length/width of rows. North/south or east/west orientation. How the land slopes, etc.
Have you ever tried eating the green coriander/cilantro seeds after flowering? They are delicious, highly recommend. I use them in cooking or salad dressings and pickles. They are so good 💚
I really like the editing of the garden tour. It is a little different to your normal videos and makes it stand out :)
About the wheat harvest: I would try using a flail to thresh the wheat (on a plastic tarp), after that you will need to wind sift a couple time because of the awns.
I have done this once and it worked very well. (Also wear long cloth, because the awns will make everything itchy otherwise.)
I've been following along and I really admire your continuous improvement. I can imagine your produce tastes amazing as we can tell the difference with what we get from the farmer's market or you pick co ops. We have some space along the side of the house we want to turn into a little garden. I know you're focused on growing food for your family for the year but would love like a top 5 for those with less space and time.
Always love the videos. Preparing the kids and investing time into their futures is comforting as I don't see much of it in most families where I live.
Do you have an amazing garden and I'm very jealous of the time, attention and money put into it. Great great job! Always love watching your videos
Becky looking amazing. Have yall utilized any USDA help?
You have so much to do I don't know how you can keep track of everything!! God bless y'all and keep growing
Zucchino rampicante is resistant to squash bugs. Very prolific.
We call it purple onion as well, not sure why they are called red onion, clearly not red 😂
Beautiful garden!!!
Me and fiancé are planning to buy our own land and make a homestead, do you have any advice for tunnel buying and other advice for buying land?
Just incredible! You are such an inspiration Becky, thank you for sharing your work with us.
Your “weed” almost looked like passion flower which is amazing for mood!
How to you preserve your herbs?
We freeze dry them mostly. But I also freeze some in oil, especially basil. We love pesto.
Thank you for all of the tips! Beautiful garden and family! ♥
Look forward to every video! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful farm and beautiful woman!
Thanks for the tour. Beautiful garden 🤩
Always so impressed by all of your hard work!!!
That is so very very impressive! Amazing.
You are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
