I became a widow last year. Watching you care for your mom as a new widow it’s a beautiful thing. You may not know just how much it means to her, but it is very comforting.❤
I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been trying to get up to her land more and more lately and try to make time to work on projects together. It feels important for us both. Wishing you peace in this world
It's lovely, what you're doing with your Mom. Those beds are dynamite and you can bet she appreciates your time and effort. Thanks for the reminder to do somethingwith Mom. Also, It was a pleasure to meet you all this weekend and come home with a carload of new plant friends! Enjoy your day!
Love the bed design and functionality. This style of hugulkutlure is on my list to try once I have a more consistent supply of compost. Also your Mom seems awesome. Thanks for sharing her with us!
That's a terrific garden you've made for your Mom! I just got a big load of wood chips and 4 bales of hay, so I'm mulching everything in sight. I use ideas from your videos all the time. 🙏 Very grateful for your work! AND for the shrubs! The elder and currants are doing well, the haskaps/Juneberries seem to be making a slow start but are starting. The jostaberries are suffering and I'm trying to make them happy. Now planting many flowers for the beneficials and pollinators. It's a beautiful spring!
Augh, you have just the most amazing soil. I keep trying to think of a way to direct another channel that I love in your direction - Primitive Skills, one of the surviving channels from the huge "primitive technology" boom of 2017-2018. It's since evolved to a low-tech farming/homesteading channel and is a real treat to watch. The problem the guy faces is that he's farming up in the rainforested mountains of Vietnam. The soil is absolutely terrible. He does composting of debris and whatnot, but he's still farming in what amounts to a quarter-inch of soil over a bed of clay/powdered stone. The language barrier makes it a little difficult to communicate, and youtube's antispam makes it hard to just dump links.
Looks very pleasant there, the garden bed are just ready to burst forth with life. Cool Just wondering with a question???? You didn't let ur mother sing was that for our benefit or yours???? hehehehe lol
The staking and slats is simple yet effective. Here is would dry out too much with logs higher than natural ground level and anything less than clay heavy loamy soil. But the planting on the sides for spillage and roots holding the soil is a space saving idea i’ll try. Dense planting means more watering but in a concentrated spot. Will try
I was always taught that adding grass mulch so high may lead snails and slugs to have easier access to the young plants. You don’t seem to have this problem. Can you comment on why? :)
Thought I would share a success. Harvesting rhubarb from 100 year old plants, 1.5 to 2 inch dimeter stalks. with huge leaves. I usually use the leaves to mulch between plants but did not have a space like that at the moment so used them to cover the worm compost. Allowed the worms to work all the way to the surface and by the time I did the next piking they were eating through the leaves so I put them back and the new leaves on top. Always look for uses of anything left over in the yard and garden.
Hi Sean. Your mum seems to have a great sense of humor. Question, when I use grass clippings on my raised bed I tend to get grass growing in there. Do you have the same problem? It might be because I mow rarely and it has often gone to seed.
That happen sometimes, but it's super easy to weed it out so it isn't a worry. Yes, if you mow very infrequently it will have a ton of seed. This is early season clippings and so the seed load is very minimal...
I think there is also value in the visit, when it comes to starts. When I start seeds it seems a very solo activity, sort of just standing. Plant shopping on other hand is a bit physical and certainly more social for me. It becomes a day vs a half chore.
in my experience bamboo is the worst thing you can have in the garden... I've found plants like 20 meters far from the place my father planted a little "Lucky bamboo" 10 yers ago... now i'm desperate, it's almost impossible to get rid of it, got such a hard root system. Thanks for the video!! Greetings from Italy
Mama Dembrosky missed a golden opportunity to launch into an impromptu rendition of "Scarborough Fair" by Simon and Garfunkel, that would've been fantastic haha

@@edibleacres it’s more important than you can ever know.
@@edibleacres Sean, I just realized your new reality. Blessings on your Mom and your entire family as you pass threw this time.
May condolences from friends ease the hearts of the grieving.
I recently lost my Mom. Loved watching the interaction between you and your Mom. ❤️.
Nice garden beds. Your mum will enjoy them. You seems to be a good team. I would like to hear the parsley song. 😊
I should have said yes!
@@edibleacres You really should have! I was sad not to hear it :)
Lovely to see you working with your momma! The beds are fantastic and that price is right! Happy growing.
Closing in on 150k subscribers! Very well deserved. I’ve been watching since under 20k I believe
Thats so great Andrew, yeah, you've been a consistent part of our community for years and years. It's wonderful!
I miss gardening with my father. It’s wonderful your able to bless your mom with a garden.

Happy Mother's Day to your Mom ❤
Your mom is lucky to have you!💕
That soil looks awesome. Your Mom is funny, she was going to sing for us. She got a lot of nice plant starts. I'm sure her plants will do great.
We're really hopeful

I just love the natural look of all the beds and seeing your mom out there as well.

Thanks for mentio ing the in ground logs (hugelness) and the compost dip of transplants when planting. The the bed texture looks incredible.
For sure, thanks for your comment Charles!
Lovely video would love to see more on your wonderful mother!
We'll see what we can do :)
@@edibleacres ❤️
This is my favorite series of videos from your channel recently.
So glad you enjoy. We're happy to share and can do so more...
Looks very pleasant there, the garden bed are just ready to burst forth with life. Cool
Just wondering with a question???? You didn't let ur mother sing was that for our benefit or yours???? hehehehe lol

Looks great Sean 😊
beautiful !!!
I love the rustic look of the raised beds 😊❤🎉
So glad you appreciate it!
I was always taught that adding grass mulch so high may lead snails and slugs to have easier access to the young plants. You don’t seem to have this problem. Can you comment on why? :)
I think if the fertility is where it needs to be that slugs and snails aren't really a pressure... It seems that idea is reasonably true...
Good stuff.

Sounds like a magical garden you are working with!

I hope you have better luck with grass clippings than I did. I burnt my bean plants one year doing that. Good luck.
I don't think we went too deep, but we'll look closely!
Mustard greens are super tasty.
They really are, but also really abundant so we're OK pulling them to feed soil life.
You Rock !

Sean doesn't grass clippings compost to hot to put directly around plants
Absolutely if you put them in a deep layering... An inch or two or three is just fine
Do goumis sprout from hilling their base like haskaps do?
Mama Dembrosky missed a golden opportunity to launch into an impromptu rendition of "Scarborough Fair" by Simon and Garfunkel, that would've been fantastic haha
Another interesting update spoiled by your refusal to allow Mother to sing! 😊
I really shoulda said yes, yikes!
Your mother as a camera person was great ! Next time don’t be shy and sing ;)
You should let your mom sing. Lol
I know I should have!
Your wild mustard looks a lot like arugula. I also don’t think those were tomatoes …
They were potato leaf tomatoes. Possibly Brandywine?
righteous work. my kind of gardening 🙏🪱❤️🌱
We enjoy it
