You are so not the only one who likes meandering around looking at all the baby produce. It's my stress reliever! I love just walking around my property looking at all the plants. ☺️
Thankyou so much for your wonderful and totally interesting channel. This is my first time watching ... I am intrigued hearing all about the different species and their properties . Some facts I know but your knowledge is captivating and educating. . I want to begin my own herb and veggie garden when I move to my own place. You're knowledge is incredible. I look Sooooooo forward to watching more of your clips and learning about growing my own fresh produce!
I love seeing my fruit and veggies make. Also, touching the plants and feeling all the different textures. Then the scents when you brush the leaves. The garden is so relaxing.
I am so thankful to find you!!! Im not in the same growing zone. But hope to learn how to be successful in my zone which is supposed to be 5 but is turning into zone 3. So aweful!!!
I live in SPARTANBURG SC and Monday it was 87 * and 90%humidity . Stifling . It’s the humidity that gets you even more than the temps . When dog days hit it will be mid 90’s and 90% humidity. Now that’s summer in the south , just awful and I was born here . 🥵
I don't know - here in the South, 85 degrees, in the sun, no breeze and high humidity is very uncomfortable! Garden looks great 👍 Thank you for all you've taught me!
What are you talking about, 85 degrees high humidity is bad, thats great weather in the South, not sure where you are at in the South but that would be nice if it was like that around where I'm at.
I'm a old man,getting ready to meet the greatest spirt on the other side.I wanted to thank you for all of your wisdom and knowledge I have received from you. One of my regrets in this life is that I didn't know and love such a beautiful woman and spirt as yourself, make sure your husband know what a lucky man he is. Thx again,good life to you and yours.
Pat I’m 57 and I feel like you do. It’s a wonderful life to have a beautiful spirited mate to share life with. I feel I will never meet one. 😃. I gave up
@@redinthethevalley thank you...I'm at peaceful place looking at the 150acre farm I have been blessed to transform from desert to green beautiful land,knowing my niece is taking over with way more talent in her little finger than I have in my whole body.Its a good life I have lived
I love your garden. I don’t have one currently but I am interested in homesteading. For now I am learning as much as I can while waiting for my greenhouse to be built. We do have some fruit trees. I live in Upper Michigan, we also have a limited growing season. I appreciate all your videos and emails. God Bless Susie
I started my celery winter sowing style. I never grew celery or winter sowing before. I almost threw them away because nothing sprouted .... then one day I saw green. I’m a second year gardener , literally a novice and I had success with winter sowing 🌸
Lol in February here in Oklahoma we had -10 snowstorm and then 80 degrees the following week! We've had a cool spring this year of 70s! Today starts our 90s and here in july and Aug will be 100-115. Seeing you in a dress is so cute! I love wearing dresses in my garden when I'm not doing the hard stuff.
Wow its nice to walk through your garden with you in a dress. Cool! You are a wealth of information and inspirational. Thank you . Thanks again for not drowning out what you say with irrelevant background music. My poor blueberries are in containers for almost 2 decades. Until I own or lease land they are well enough
Wonderful video with a plethora of info! Thank you so much! I am proud and excited to say that I have broke ground for my first time ever and planted 5 tomato plants. I also have 6 tomato plants in pots, a broccoli, several starts of snow peas, a few okra plants, red peppers (not bell), and a plastic (ug) bin where I'm trying to grow organic (as can be) yams! I have also started seeds for arugula, Black Velvet nasturtium, hummingbird vine, moon flower vine, malabar spinach, snow-in-summer, and some moringa, due to it's multi-nutritive value. I had really lofty aspirations and made myself plant ONLY SO MUCH so I can get a feel for this gardening thing. I look forward to having a continuing food source for years to come and realize: the garden education never ends, so the time to start is NOW! :D Thanks, again, for sharing the ways you and your family maintain an amazing level of self-sufficiency! Watching your videos has been lifesaving for me.
Great video. We can't wait until we can get our orchard moving forward. Our temps have been in the 90's for over a week. It makes for a LOT of watering on the farm! Cheers from Minnesota!
Love all this great info! Thank you for explaining how you use the Egyptian walking onion in cooking. I saw those recently on Canadian permaculture legacy, with the tiny bulbs I wasn't sure it was worth it, but after you explained how you use the stalk as a green onion it makes perfect sense! Bit by bit I'm aiming for more fruit and perennials myself. 😄 ❤️ Keep on growing!
Your garden is beautiful! Be mindful that planting popcorn with your sweet corn will change the flavor of your sweet corn and most likely be far inferior. That could ruin an heirloom seed if you don’t have some reserved for the next season. I would recommend pulling up all the popcorn and planting it far far away from any sweet corn varieties. Those hot days are rough on me too, but they’re totally expected here in the hot humid south.
We live in Buffalo, NY and are experiencing a "heat wave" too! LOL! My husband and I keep telling our daughter that these temps are not normal. Enjoy it!
So I’ve been following your techniques, and I have more mushrooms than I’ve ever seen! The soil is super active and healthy. Thank you for all your advice. We will be continuing to watch, and are big fans!
80s!!! In Central Arkansas and we are MELTING with the heat and humidity! 😆 But, I will say, I’m not sure I would like all the rain you get. Rain makes me sleepy. 😉
Things are looking good!! Best of luck this year ..here in Central Indiana just had temperature change where I could get my Peppers& Tomatoes out finally. Xoxoxo
I started my melons early and transplanted. Not recommended as they don’t like their roots disturbed but 7 out of 8 are growing wonderfully and strong and weeks ahead of what they would be.
I used to plant a lot of garlic under my trees when I had leaf curl. As long as I had garlic under them, I did not seem to get the curl. Don't have the trees any longer (I moved), so don't know if that would still work or not
Beautiful garden! You have a lot of variety there. It's neat that you have never grown celery before. I have been growing enough to blanch & freeze for a year. This year I have even more so may be able to share with others
A number of years ago, we had a really hot year and I grew melons. The honeydew were fantastic, cantalopes so-so and the baby watermelons were cute, beatiful red and tasted like....nothing! Oh well, at least the honeydew were really great. That was in Concrete.
New to your channel here. So much info I love it! We are looking to buy property in the next couple years and I want to grow food and raise small livestock 😁 I can't wait but I'm all for getting as much info as I can beforehand.
Oooh, I'm in Portland. Excited to hear more about your melon seeds - which variety did you chose? Looking forward to updates. (And I wonder if the deer would eat the green apples - toss them outside your garden and maybe they'd go THERE instead! I'm with you on the quick weather changes - and supposed to be 100+ here this weekend. UGH!!! My celery and my cilantro are bolting and starting to flower - swallowtail butterflies love all those types of flowers (carrots, dill, celery, cilantro), so hate to terminate them even though I have small/limited garden space.
I pulled my overwintered broccoli but left two orange cauliflower plants and they are heading up now. I will try them again next fall. My climate near Shelton is similar to yours. Crazy fluctuations in temperatures. Windy today on our lake and cool. Still have a lot remaining to plant.
I did the same thing with broccoli and got a medium head early this spring. Also took two peppers in last fall. one was a Jalapeño that still had peppers on it the we picked tlll February then cut back. Also brought in a bell pepper that hadn't produced and cut it back to grow roots for this spring. I put both in pots a month or so ago and have ton's of blossoms on the jalapeño and some peppers that will be ready soon (have had the Jalapeño outside n it's 12" pot a couple weeks and just put the bell out that has a small bell on it about 3"). I plan to take these two back in this fall.
Fantastic orchard and vegetable garden. I like growing fruit trees also, but where I live near Manchester in NW England probably gets higher rainfall even than where you are, so to prevent peach leaf curl and give an extra boost of heat to ripen the fruit, it is standard practice to grow peaches inside a greenhouse or polytunnel in most of England. I have an 'allotment' garden not far from my home which gives me more space to grow fruit and vegetables, I do grow a few apple trees at home in my back garden, but it is too shady for veg. I have 3 greenhouses and a polytunnel (hoop house) at my allotment - like you we get shorter cooler summers in England, so you need to start tomatoes, peppers, etc off in the house under growlamps or on a windowsill early to get a crop in August/September - melons are very marginal here outdoors as well - generally considered a greenhouse crop in England. It is an enjoyable video! Thank you, Duncan.
thank you for all u do on ur potatoes do u use burnt wood ash it makes all the difference (in soil when u plant ) corn-drop a dead fish in when u plant
Oh wow! You’re lupine aren’t like ours in Maine. Yours are so bare 😳 and ours reseed themselves with no problem. I’d be happy to send you some if you’d like. We have mostly purple and pink with some white 🤷🏼♀️

Please remove the leaf with curl and discard as it is loaded with spores. Don't touch any other leaf after picking because you will spread the spores so just wash your hands. The garden looks fantastic!!!!!!
We have a lot of deer on our property in southeast WI and have experienced similar issues with them eating our fruit trees. We've put the barriers around the individual trees just as you have but the deer are very persistent and rear up on their hind legs and still reach over the netting to eat the new growth. We'll be installing an electric fence next and hopefully that will keep them out.
We have the same issue with deer in Maine. What works well for us is putting a little tin foil on the top of the hot fence in a couple of locations with peanut butter on it. The deer lick it and only do it once.
What is the name of the shell beans (october) you plant? Do you know of you can cook the white seed of a blue lake green bean if they are too big to eat as a green bean
Just found your channel, where is your homestead located, sometimes methods discussed in videos on you tube never work for us because we live in Southwest Washington, with a lot rain! We use raise beds at this time because of the clay soil.
I've grown popcorn the past three years. This year only one plant has popped up. 😕 I stuck some more seed in the ground but our growing season is so short that even if it does grow, I'm not likely to get mature corn in time. Oh, and it was seed from last year.
I'm growing my celery among my roses. Not on purpose, because I'm working with a 10X10 square foot area. We don't have a lot of room for a garden... anyway my celery are thriving with the roses. And the roses are thriving as well. It's a happy accident. Also layered wood mulch on top of my soil.
I have a question about your tomatoes. I watched your tomato growing video where you talked about growing them in the high tunnel. Do you move the high tunnel or do you plant your tomatoes in the same soil every year? I'm a bit confused by that.
Is that bird netting around the trees? that works for deer? i'm getting a lot of trees from arbor day in the fall ... we're clueless how to protect them. last time we planted about 20 trees the deer got all of them in 1 night leaving only 1 to survive!
Our goat charlotte ate so many of our fruit trees we finally sent her off to a family members ranch, a couple of those were already producing fruit but she killed them.
@@MelissaKNorris wow! This is so huge and quite overwhelming… I want to learn to garden so bad. Do you think your academy can help if I’m in 8b? Dallas tx. 💗
Asparagus question: how far apart do the crowns need to be planted? And if I build a raised bed (with an open bottom) how wide does it need to be? I was hoping that a 2x12 space would be sufficient. Grape Question: what varieties are you growing? Are they for fresh eating or wine making? Do they have seeds?
I planted our asparagus a about 18 inches apart. The grapes our a table grape (fresh eating) seedless green grape called Interlaken and then a white wine grape Niagara
Depends on what livestock you're running through. You need to be able to rotate the livestock off during harvest (or they'll eat most of it in our experience). And cattle will nibble on young fruit trees (so will goats) and sometimes just completely destroy them. It works great with poultry and can with other livestock if you rotate them through strategically. Established orchards are easier to run cows through with mature trees.
It's like a fern - dies back in the winter then comes back in spring. The young stalks are the asparagus we eat, then they open up to light frilly ferny stuff.
hi again put watermelon like squash hill by itself sand, peat moss, dirt dried rabbit dropping note vines near other vines will not taste good for some reason it turns into the other vines IDK W

We have a lot of deer on our property in southeast WI and have experienced similar issues with them eating our fruit trees. We've put the barriers around the individual trees just as you have but the deer are very persistent and rear up on their hind legs and still reach over the netting to eat the new growth.

Yes, it's netting and works against deer too
Hope you ate at the mealhouse while at rory’s!
They catered breakfast! It was delicious
Our goat charlotte ate so many of our fruit trees we finally sent her off to a family members ranch, a couple of those were already producing fruit but she killed them.
I feel your pain. I live in northern Pennsylvania.
I eat rose petals in salad u can get and use in lots of things
did u know yeast is the white power under the cabbage leaf
80 degrees sounds perfect. Lol!!
How do you keep the deer out of your veg garden?
Wow! How much time Do you think you spend on average per day on your enormous garden??
I don't work in it daily this time of year. A few hours a week at most.
@@MelissaKNorris wow! This is so huge and quite overwhelming… I want to learn to garden so bad. Do you think your academy can help if I’m in 8b? Dallas tx. 💗
Absolutely we have several members from Texas.
Asparagus question: how far apart do the crowns need to be planted? And if I build a raised bed (with an open bottom) how wide does it need to be? I was hoping that a 2x12 space would be sufficient.
Grape Question: what varieties are you growing? Are they for fresh eating or wine making? Do they have seeds?
I planted our asparagus a about 18 inches apart. The grapes our a table grape (fresh eating) seedless green grape called Interlaken and then a white wine grape Niagara
Thank you so much!
Does been oil works to rid the garden of Japanese beetles? If nit what can I use ??
Would fruit trees in a pasture be smart utilizing space or a really bad idea? Haha
Depends on what livestock you're running through. You need to be able to rotate the livestock off during harvest (or they'll eat most of it in our experience). And cattle will nibble on young fruit trees (so will goats) and sometimes just completely destroy them. It works great with poultry and can with other livestock if you rotate them through strategically. Established orchards are easier to run cows through with mature trees.
Can you explain how y'all built the high tunnel?
How can I get some of those Carolina heirloom beans that you grow? I am in SC, so they should do well.
Would you share how much you have of everything?
The music at the beginning...can I find it somewhere in entirety?
Do you have a timeline for planting in the PNW?
You have to go off your first and last frost dates for each plant.
Do asparagus grow above or below ground?
Aboveground
It's like a fern - dies back in the winter then comes back in spring. The young stalks are the asparagus we eat, then they open up to light frilly ferny stuff.
Do you ever pick of the first blossoms on your peppers and tomatoes?
I did last year but didn't really notice any difference
Winter in Alabama wasn't at all like it has been now for several years.
Will your book be suitable for another country with less warm climate?
Yes! I teach to go off of first and last frost dates.
Are pickling cucumbers different than eating/slicing cucumbers? I thought you just had to pick them when they were small.
Yes they're a different variety than English/slicing cucumbers
@@MelissaKNorris New info. for me. Thanks
What about Neem oil?
We’ve already reached triple digits here in southern central valley California!😫

11:25 for those curious few. Her husband has what appears to be a wonderful woman (substance, beauty, passion/purpose, et cetera).

As a fellow Northwest WA resident, anything over 65° is too hot for me.
Haha right?!

What do you mean when you say "Bolt"?
The plant goes to its next stage, flowers then produces seed.
@@jennifervondeylen7362 thank you.

Any big jump in temperature shocks the body. It's ok, we here in the South won't judge.
