- Today we even surprised ourselves and how much we got done in the garden. We started a new pumpkin patch started an oyster mushroom bed planted sweet potatoes, mulched harvested, and cooked the garden meal.
Author is so knowledgeable about things. I love learning things from him.
Haha lots of talk no action
@@crumblecookiefingers6884Knock it off!
Facts and truth!
@crumblecookiefingers6884 Did you actually watch what he was DOING through the entire video? Working away WHILE giving us all interesting information. Did you actually watch in the past how hard he worked at filming everything through their entire crisis while also taking care of everyone, back and forth with Bri at home and the hospital to be with the babies and the older children, AND manage to film it all for a continued income . . . how hard he worked before that, on essential mold work and digging drainage around the old house, building a beautiful and needed root cellar, fixing the old chimney, taking down the old barn etc etc. So . . . no, the old house didn't get done enough to live in. One person can only do so much before it's too much and something breaks. If you're in that kind of situation yourself, I hope you can relax a little . . . we all can fall into the trap of harshly judging others (or ourselves) when too stressed. Take care. 🌻
I totally agree with @crimecritteronthefarm and @oldwillowtree...
Arthur is amazing! Have never seen a man work so hard as he did before his burnout!
And now he's working almost as much again - full time in construction, and on the farm and at Briannas' on his time off work! And filming/editing videos, and taking care of his family! 🌸💪🌸
Such sweet little voices from the twins. 😊
Art u tought me a thing or 2. You are so intelligent. Bri your garden is beautiful and go ahead cram more pumpkins in there. I get so much joy out of watching ya and seeing your family healing.
Your joyous day in 'We Even Surprised Ourselves - Full Garden Day!' is truly uplifting. Your dedication to cultivating a vibrant garden and sharing the process with enthusiasm is inspiring. Your videos capture the beauty of growth and the rewards of hard work with authenticity and delight.
And I am Floating Village Life
If you plant sweet potatoes whole you would not believe the harvest you will get 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hey Art , Bri and Kiddos 👋.
Hey Art I have used the dry pine shavings👍.
You're Gittin it Bri🎉
The rice sheets as you saw are troublesome at best.
Just take a dinner plate , put some water on it. Then do one sheet at a time😊.
All those yummy flavors must have been good.

Slips in water till they go in ground. Great day!
Good work💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm so glad Art and Bri are trying to come back together. I'm praying for you. Your children look so much happier. I look forward to your future.
Arthur, I wish you were my son! I would be planting with you !! You are an amazing gardener and I thought my family was ! I was raised homesteading and we didn’t call it that ! We just survived .. ❤❤
Watching this brings me a lot of joy! The words that come to mind are fruitfulness and abundance. So symbolic for the effort you are putting into your family's healing and restoration process. Bless you guys!
Snakes are the ultimate sign of a great healthy garden!🌿🌻🐝👌🐍
❤ love your beautiful house with its beautiful yard full of beautiful family and fun! 🍅 🥕 🌼 🌸 🌻
The twins are talking up a storm! 😊😊
🙏♥️🙏♥️
Arthur, rice paper needs only to be dipped , ( one piece at a time) emerge in a large bowl of warm water, immediately lay on a plate. Paper becomes more soft as you layer your vegetables and then roll up. But work with each piece one at a time.
Good interactive family meal, just lay out components on the table and let each child dip their own paper and pick out what type of foods they like for it.
The meal looked so good and healthy. I pray your garden harvest is massive. Love your sweet family.
I just love how y'all do what brings you and your family joy❤ Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and trolls never see it, but the grateful do❤.
What a beautiful garden! Love Art's new hat 😊
Can't wait to see the mushroom outcome!!!!
Today until Wednesday, will be good planting by almanac moon calendar! Great team work!
My kids and I love watching your videos before nap time. I’ve been watching you guys since the beginning of your channel but it’s just adorable that now my kids enjoy your channel with me 😊💜
Not boring by any means!! But I understand what you’re saying. Love these guys!
Dad’s cooking looks tasty. The garden is beautiful as usual. Snakes just love you all.🤣
Loved this video! Can’t wait to see the mushrooms progress.
I love your little family bri, the little ones are so adorable and Wilder is such a big boy and I remember when he was just a baby he was so adorable too, looking forward to your next video
Bri you are my inspiration for all thing’s gardening and children. I thoroughly enjoy watching you. God bless.
I would have loved eating the Spring Rolls dinner with you. They are very delicious. It's great having the family together ❤️ ❤
GLORY BE TO GOD.
BLESSED FATHER'S DAY.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Your family works so hard. Loving the content.❤
Excellent info Arthur! Happy to see all of your faces! Continued prayers!
Dinner looked yummy, Great video thanks for sharing :) Have a wonderful week.
We used a thick layer of straw from tractor supply a few years ago..... We ended up with a chia pet mat around our plants lol. Soooo much wheat seed!!!!
Bri stay positive and leave negativity out of your mind read and don't respond cause i know youre happy stay strong and be bless
I learn so much from you, Art.
I'm excited to see how your mushroom experiment develops! And the spring rolls were a rainbow! Thanks for the inspiration =)
Beautiful, heart warming video! Thank you!
I see the magic coming back into this family..and it’s beautiful! God bless all of you♥️🙏🏻..Tip~ I use straw to mulch my garden but we always put a layer of newspaper down first..then wet everything down after spreading straw…works great and breaks down by end of season.
A fun video. Inspiring garden.
Everything looks Wonderful❤
O the garden looks so good ❤❤❤ Hi Art, are you ever going back to nursing? ❤ Love the teaching moments. The kids always love the little critter surprises…
beautiful family
Praying y’all have a blessed abundant harvest ❤
Very interesting how you did the mushrooms. Absolutely want to learn more about that because as we all know we need the mushroom tea for the gardens
Everything looks amazing! Always glad to see your gardening progress.
Art, say 3 things you love about Bri
Bri, say 3 things you love about Art
This was a great stream
We are rooting for you guys like you grew us. ❤️
Great video! I love y'all ❤
Hi Arther and Bri , you guys work hard, I’m from Ontario we get compost from the local landfill for our garden and we also use draw for mulch, I also love gardening, beautiful family
The garden is beautiful!!
Great progress & interesting knowledge shared! Thanks for the glimpses into a happy family day! I think that plant was a wormwood that you pulled out, Arthur. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
I for some reason decided to try pine needle mulch this year. Very frusterated with the other stuff. So far so good. And has the mix of leaves to. Got it from similar a forest space that was free to have. So I am very excited to see how it goes.
Love that ferment you are making.
The rolls all of them look delicious. And practice makes perfect. You can get bamboo little rollers that will help roll. omg that little toad!!! So exciting the mushroom trial. I bet it will do perfect. The very ending eating together made me cry 💕
A suggestion is to purchase a rooter tiller. It will make gardening so much easier! Till it up then add compost or whatever you like and till it in and proceed with planting and mulching . I also retill in late fall to incorporate dead debris into soil for next season. Cuts prep in half!
There are a lot of people who avoid tilling because it isn't good for the life in the soil.
That's why they say in fall...leave the leaves where they land...don't rake them...they make the best natural mulch for the garden floor👌...we still live in the suburbs...and I always laugh at how 'untidy' the neighbour's probably think our garden looks...but it's actually the most natural and healthiest way it should look/ be👍😅
Good morning y’all. Art, do you happen to know what kind of tree is behind you in neighbors yard around 3:36 time frame. It’s beautiful but looks different than the weeping willow I had in Calif. You are so knowledgeable about plants/trees/gardening. I’ve learned a lot from both of you. So happy to see all that is going on in the garden. Happy family time.
Hi Bri waiting for the next video !!
Art your knowledge is fascinating!👍👌
Thank you ❤❤❤
I take my straw bales and i soak them repeatedly over two weeks or so before i open them up. The. The seeds usually all sprout so when i go to use the straw i dont get weeds
Totally relating to Editing Arthur in so many areas of my life 🤣
Love the mushroom experiment, I'm excited to see how this works out. Your gardens are beautiful!! I've always done the rice wraps one at a time in a pie dish with a little water soaked for like 30 seconds. Love the idea of using fresh greens in them!!! Yumm
i have the best garden ever using Jadam gardening method.
🙋🏼♀️🕊. Was that lavender,you pulled out for the mushrooms. Ask her ? Blessings 💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊
We haven't made rice wraps in a long time. It is a fun thing to do as a family, kind of like making tacos just different ingredients. When we did it everyo e got a big dinner plate. Pass the rice paper through a pie plate full of water and lay it on your plate. Fill it up, roll it up, eat it up.
Bri, you sound like you have a cold or allergies going on. Hope the family is all well😊 great garden!
I prefer to watch your videos Bri. ❤
You have a beautiful place Bri..
❤❤❤
Rice wraps can be dipped in hot water just before you wrap them up.
Arthur I keep asking my husband to go in our forest to get soil or whatever is there.
I just wished the put out more videos.
I also put pine shaving in my always when I firs started my garden
..the "trick" with rice wrappers..is to let them soak in cold water ONLY till pliable
if you're making several only 'soak' 1-2 at a time, as it takes a bit to create/wrap each roll

Just a thought, pieces of ginger might be too much for little kids. May be grating it and a liitle less might be more palatable for little taste buds. 😁
I’m sure they let them choose what they eat. I’m sure they’ll spit it out if it’s to hot or they don’t like it .
It’s great that they give their toddlers such a variety of healthy food ☺️
Surprisingly many children like spicy food .
You just have to let them taste all kind of vegetables and spices from the very beginning instead of giving them bland or sweet and salty food like snacks.
Hope all the pumpkin patch straw doesn't blow over into the neighbors lawns.
18:25 The plant... Polygonum aviculare? Difficult to say without a zoom on it. Great video!
I was thinking white Sagebush, but it is hard to tell, even on 1080p
@@tabp8448 Yes it could be!
Use a pastry brush next time. It works very well.
With the pumpkins, gourds and squash, will there not be cross-pollination?

The plant you pulled next to the greenhouse looks like (thyme?) to me.
Arthur will that grow next year also??
I have Big Max pumpkin plants just for fun. (What am I going to do with a 100 pound pumpkin? 😂)
You really should watch Charles Dowding No Dig. My garden is no dig and it’s so much easier, better for the soil.
🙏🏻👏🏻❤️
Russian sage is what you pulled out before you planted the mushrooms. I think.
Isn’t it quite late in the year for this?
Hi! Actually its still ok 🙂. Just depends on what the goal of the garden is. For example,yes sweet potatoes need a good amount of time if the aim is store bought sized tubers- however, if youre just enjoying the process, eating the leaves, and seeing what happens, its worth it. Blessings!
But they are "homesteaders " 😂
@@Tarra62 🤣
I love these family videos but I’m missing bris blogs!
Art, are you able to work as a nurse still? Or is it better pay to work contsrtiction❓
A nurse? He can't even take care of a cow properly.
@@crumblecookiefingers6884 seriously! If you can't support Bri's decision about having her husband back you need to leave!
@@Tarra62If your going to belittle her husband you need to leave
If you don't like the direction of the vlog, move on, there are other options out there for you.😉
I did not mean to start a bunch of awful comments‼️😳
Use salt hay. No seeds.
Bri when your sweet potato plant come place them in a jar of water until you can plant them.
I did that an they started to form roots in a week. Next week, more roots. Now I planted with compost in a small pot. Next week, into 5 gallon buckets. Zone 5b
