- As a horticulturist, teaching and sharing this amazing world of growing your food, utilizing your harvest, and homesteading with our family, is a passion. Every week you'll find us in the garden, working on another aspect of homesteading life, and occasionally just enjoying the wildness of raising a large family in the country. Welcome to the garden, to the kitchen, and to our small farm in South Carolina.
We hope to encourage people to grow their own food, feel confident in homesteading, and live a life both messy and beautiful, because this life comes with a bit of dirt and a lot of love.

I burst out laughing when you said "I love my chickens but I also love chicken nuggets" LOL. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us

What an awesome garden. I'm definitely jealous
Beautiful garden! Keep up the great work ❤
That is a crazy harvest, I was proud of my harvest of 25 Big Jim's today. It is getting way to hot here in AZ hit 118 yesterday and not going below 110 for at least the next 10 days, plants are green just not flowering any longer. Trying to keep peppers alive until September hoping for a second season.
Oh geez, I don't envy your heat. We have been in the 100-degree range the last week and the plants are not loving it either. I'll be hoping your peppers hang on till September 🤞
How do you have so much energy girlfriend?! Amazing garden but I would be so overwhelmed I wouldn't know where to start.
❤❤
❤️❤️
Another amazing and enlightening episode! Thanks for taking the time out of your week to record, edit and share. Have a great day! 🙏
Thank you so much! 💚🫶🏻
Awesome variety of peppers you got🌶🌶 no cayenne? And I just planted something new called Kohl rabi! 55 days should be anytime left here
Do have lots of thick cayennes coming in right now. I don't always show everything in each garden tour, it varies from week to week. The tours would be very long if I tried to show everything 😂 Kohlrabi is wonderful!
I love your garden.
thank you! 💚🫶🏻
Good morning oh wow a lot of Fruits and food amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
indeed impressive 🌹🌺
Thank you!
Oh my gosh! I’m so jealous! I’m in North Idaho and my garden is soooo far behind yours. Plus all the peppers I started from seed are stunted and I don’t think they are going to revive. 😢
We get a super early start here, I planted out in March this year. (This is a risky move, most years I wait until mid-April). I'll be hoping your peppers bounce back for you! If they start fruiting for you, be sure to pull fruit to help them to keep growing, it should help them to bounce back quicker for you!
May God bless your efforts dear, thank you for the beautiful tour😊🙏
Thank you! 🫶
Awesome harvest!
❤️👩🏻🌾❤️
Thank you! 🫑
The garden looks wonderful. I can’t wait until your next video on what to do with all that food. It looks overwhelming but you seem to be a pro. Grateful to learn from your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment! It was a fun video to shoot showing how to preserve the peppers. I'm in the process of editing it now 💚
Love that you are growing cacuzzi! I grow it every year. My nonno brought the seeds from Sicily. I make a fantastic stew with it.
That's wonderful! I love it as a zucchini substitute! Its very good.
I was thinking about chopping my tomatoes. They have flowers but are not producing any tomatoes. I'm glad to see you did it. I have nothing to loose.
I'll be hoping it works out for you!! 🤞🫶 we have had good results so far, the copper seems to help decently with the blight.
I'll be happy if I can get 1 tomato 😂 between the transplant shock, insane thunderstorms, and then 114⁰ heat index days, they're all mad. Lmao.
I'll be over here hoping you get that tomato too! 😂🤞 weather has been wild this year!
good morning, i reference to the spine borers have you tried growing the tromboncino Replicante zuchinni??(spelling) they are good producer, mostly spine borer resistant and heat tolerant. They do want to spread more then regular zuchinni. They do very well in my Summerville, SC climate. Just a recommendation for next year.
I grew it last year and it's wonderful! The vine borers did eventually take it but it lasted longer than the other squash in the garden. I appreciate the recommendation, I love hearing what has grown well for others especially if they are in a similar are (or the same!). My seeds from last year haven't germinated as well as I'd hoped. I'm planning to get more seeds for next summer.
Beautiful garden! Congratulations! But how in the world do you manage to water all these raised beds without drip irrigation? 😅
Also, for those pesky Japanese Beetles, set up those hormone traps all around the perimeter of your property and encourage your neighbors to do the same.
Thank you! We will run a sprinkler or hand water, it's a workout.
Your little ones are so darn cute! Love watching your videos. I'm always learning something new. Thank you😁! Would you be able to talk a bit about your juicer and how it works, how much you use, etx? Would like to get one on the Amazon Prime Day. Maybe other must have tools or gadgets that you absolutly love? Thanks again!
Absolutely! I shoot a video on it this week 💕 and thank you for the wonderful compliment!
WOW!

Beautiful garden, Natasha! I am growing habanero peppers for the first time this year, and i was exited because they're finally ripe. Every one I tasted though had zero heat in the flesh. I grew a hybrid variety called "helios". The seeds ARE hot, but that's it. Any idea what I did wrong? I thought maybe they cross pollinated because I planted them in-between bell peppers and jalapenos, and the Jalapenos have heat.
Have you been watering them well? Peppers are always spicier if you deprive them of water! I would try some tough love (water deprivation)! If that isn't the issue it has to be the original seeds, sometimes hybrids are as stabilized as they claim to be. Please update me on your results! I will be curious to see how they do! 💚
@@ShepherdingPeppersFarm That's a good idea, thanks for the reply. I don't give them any water or fertilizer, just compost and worm casting extract every now and then. Though I suspect they are not ever drought stressed because my beds are setup similarly to yours.
I just noticed that your pepper plants are not staked up. How far apart do you keep a pepper plants? Your garden looks beautiful.
Around 12-18 inches. 💕
I have some sweet banana peppers with fruit, should I pick those early the way you pick your green peppers to improve the harvest later in the year?
I would pick them when they start to blush! The first bit of yellowing 💚
Ooh where did you find the arroz con pollo pepper?!
Baker Creek 😊
Beautiful garden! Where do you buy the seeds for the vine peaches?
Im honestly not sure, I've been seed-saving from the original ones I got a long time ago for years now. Im hoping to get seeds for them out on website in the next few weeks 😊
Natasha, I have a bumper crop of peppers this year. What do you typically do? Wait until they are ripe or pick green and wait for another flush? I'm so torn as to what to do! I suppose I can pick some; wait on others. WAIT...I think you just answered my question. Thank you as always.
I happy I could help! This comment made me smile as I was reading it!
🥰
I watched your shoulders and collar get more and more red. I hope you didn't get a burn doing this video. If you did thank you but you don't have too.
It’s a rare thing for me to burn, I’ll get bright red and the next day my Italian side starts showing. ❤️
So the green peppers will ripen inside? I didn’t know that so I have been impatiently waiting for my peppers to ripen. Thank you so much!
@@alissahoke9215 they will if they have started to change colors, if they haven't then they wont ripen inside 😊
How do you keep your cucumbers and melons from getting attached by pickle worms. They have been so bad this season!
Last year they were such a pain in the tush. I've tried to grow harder rind melons this year (at least more of them than the softer melons) since it makes it tougher for them to borrow in. As for the cucumbers I try to plant them out as soon as I can because it's right around this time I start to see them attacking the cucumbers. I found two this week that were damaged. Rotten creatures. Mesh bagging the melons (and possibly cucumbers) has helped in the past too.
@@ShepherdingPeppersFarm thanks for replying! They absolutely ruined my cucumbers. I’ve lost 4 cantaloupe thus far to them. The two that are in melon hammocks on the trellis have not been touched so maybe I’ll get to enjoy them.
what happened with the overwintered peppers? did you plant them out? were they producing earlier or more?
A few of them have produced really well, but out of the all peppers only a handful really seemed to pull through the overwintering. We are going to try a more targeted approach this winter 🤞
@@ShepherdingPeppersFarm cant wait to see! actually no, i dont want winter to come but still, you know what i mean :)
Where do you draw water from to keep those beds watered?
We water from a garden hose most days.
@@ShepherdingPeppersFarm Yes but are you guys on a well? Cuz I have 2 raised beds and my water bill is out of this world
