My grandmother never staked her tomatoes; they did great. Heres a tip, the fruits don't need direct sun. They will scald. However, the leaves need the sun for photosynthesis to ripen the fruit. So, let the fruit be shaded. I admit to staking my tomatoes on 7' T posts. Leave them in the ground for 2 seaso ns. Then, rotate to a new space, so disease doesn't take hold. Btw, your garden looks great! ❤
Giving your garden produce to the chickens is a good thing. It's definitely not a waste. Home canned collard greens and kale with kielbasa chunks is a really good, hot side dish for winter. Loaded with vitamins. If you plan to prep food on a butcher block countertop, be sure to clean it with salt when finished. Get it wet, sprinkle on the salt, give it a brush scrub to clean out the grooves. After 10 minutes, wipe up the excess salt water. Germs all gone! Oil it as needed.
I hope u really know how to say your green Chile pepper is called jalapeños………ha-la-pen-yos…….I am not an expert in languages, but I do know my Mexican chiles being a indigenous Mexican……….I enjoy watching the joy u have in living a life we should all b living…..God Bless✌🏾🤜🏽👍🙏🏾👵🏼
Kyle . . . improve the soil in your raised beds: When you clean out the chicken coop, put that on the garden beds. The same with leaves dropped from the trees. Compost tremendously improves the soil, as does wood ash and charcoal. With the richer soil, your vegetables next year will flourish.
@@MichelleOhio I think your right, IIRC my chicken friends dumped the chicken coop manure in its own piles to sit for a few months(?) prior to putting into the soil. Maybe after the final harvest you could amend the soil before the snow and it would be dilute by the time it gets to planting time in spring.
Kyle, whenlettucebegins to go to seed as your lettuce has it is time to cull! Plant lettuce seed every two weeks to always have fresh lettuce to eat! Also plant string bean seeds every two weeks to continue to have a fresh supply. Generally one can count on three to four green pickings per bush before needing to cull. Brussel sprouts should be picked After the first fall frost! The flavour of brussel sprouts is enhanced by low night temps! Believe me! You should build a permanent trellis for your tomato, cukes sugar snap peas etc. You have the free wood and skill set. Just purchase heavy duty wire fencing! Good job on all your produce!
Could you please list again what oil/conditioners you used on the butcher block? Takes us older viewers a minute to see it all. Thanks. Garden and everything look😃💯❤👍🐶🐱🐥🐥🐥🌲🌲🌲🥦🥦🥦🥬🥬🥬🥒🥒🥒🌶🌶🌶🫑🫑🫑🥔🥔🥔🍅🍅🍅 spectacular!!!
Beautiful garden, Kyle. Next year don't spend money on trellises - just use straight branches and tie the tomato plants to them, or chicken wire the length of the garden box and tie them up. cheap and easy. Lettuce grows well in window box style boxes on your deck. Since you're so handy you can build a planter box all around your deck for veggies. Thanks for sharing.
If haven't yet bought your garden seeds, you might have better success with a company located in the north. I'm in Wisconsin and have a good result with Gurney in Yankton SD. Their varieties are developed for a similar climate to yours. As you wish to be organic, fish emulsion is an excellent fertilizer. A gallon jug will probably last more than a single season. Squash is also a great veg that will last through the winter if well protected from freezing. If leaving your house for more than a few days, they will probably be ok if put into coolers set above the floor level. I've had some last 6 months. Only save those without any blemishes. I also recommend some research on perennial vegetable varieties, including herbs. I'm still growing Egyptian multipliers as the 4th generation of my family using the top bulbs handed down through the family. These are not onions like globe onions, but planted in the fall and harvested in the spring and early summer as scallions. Just leave several parent plants alone to continue providing new offspring the next year. Most perennial veg does require a good mulch to prevent heaving in the soil thus protecting the plants below the soil. Plant garlic in the fall, saving some of your harvest to replant. I would also plant asparagus and berries in your climate. Have you been thinking of a hoop house? With your skills it would be a snap and extend your growing season by as much a two months on both ends. If you plan on canning, do you have experience or someone to rely upon? It's far more complicated than you might think. Absolutely do not listen to "cowboy canners". Their ignorance is shocking. Just because a jar seals doesn't mean it's safe. Botulism will live on until it meets thermal death above 245f. Boiling water never reaches anything beyond 212f. Learn which fruit and veg is low or high acid foods. Tomatoes and apples are high acid and can be preserved in a boiling water bath kettle but green beans or meats must be pressure canned. Get some ph testing strips to make sure you have proper acidity. If too low, adding BOTTLED lemon juice can insure safety. Your best online source for safe canning is not youtube. Check out the center for home food preservation at the University of Georgia.
Nice going Kyle, you did a great job on the butcher block counter top. Your garden is doing well, next year will be even better. Glad to Cierra walking around, you are a good caregiver.
Hi Kyle and Cierra :) Nice garden!! that’s about as big as jalapeños get - and at that size will still knock your head off!!! Wash your hands after chopping them!
Great trim work and butcher block build. "hah-la-payn-yos" Was gonna say your pails and garden needed watering then you made it rain. Yeah, some soluble fertilizer for your pails. Please build out those compost piles now to add layers of leafy "greens" alternate with dead "browns" (leaves). Utilize pulled weeds(!), throw in chicken manure in between. No branches, twigs, dry stems or weeds with seed heads. Keep moist, turn over weekly with hay fork. Never add fresh manure to growing plants, compost first till matured, or work into beds in Fall AFTER crops spent and removed. You can sauté lettuce and kale, etc., or all that is great in Chinese wok cooking. Your lettuce has "bolted", you'll find milky sap in stems, with a bitter taste. Time to pull out, chop up and add to compost pile. Yeah, your onions need water #1, and next year your finished compost will help for organic matter, and water-holding properties. Some granular 10-10-10 will help very much, dug in. Yes, tomatoes should be "staked" and "tied up" and pruned carefully early on. Great fence, I didn't see animal damage though looks like some light insect damage, you can buy "insecticidal soap'' in hand spray bottles, cheap, very safe chemically. Hi, Cierra!
I(f you want bigger onion bottoms you have to remove the dirt about 2/3 down from the top of the bulb. This gives the bulb room to expand. AS it gets bigger remove a little more dirt from around the bulb. You will get onions the size of a softball or bigger.
The best advice I can offer if you plan to start canning next year, is to start collecting jars and supplies now! There have been shortages of these supplies since the covid started. Hit the yard sales for stuff. Look around for a good quality pressure canner also.
When you get your deer. You should can a bunch. Its cheap and very easy. Use an electric pressure cooker. And is great for a few years and shelf stable. If I get my bear I'm gonna can some of it. And make some smoked brats. Good stuff
The raised beds produced a lot for you guys ,awesome. Try potatoes ,pumpkin’s , squash next season . The deck plants will give you a lot for sure. The tomato’s will for sure need a trellis and will ripen faster and the ground bugs won’t eat at them. The inside and butcher box came out perfect. Your projects always keep you busy but the outcome l am sure make you both happy.
Can’t remember - do you have a compost pile? If not start one! Mulched leaves, small pieces of old already breaking down wood you pick up from the floor of the woods, , your chicken house bedding/poop, your vegetable and fruit parings. Layer these then they ll mix as you turn it all. Make your compost walls out of old pallets. Turn it often to aid in breakdown. Add water periodically. I d put a cover on it to keep heavy rainfall from washing parts of it away and you don’t want it to be sopping anyway. The slated pallet sides allow airflow and an open front gives you easy access to turn it and then to transfer it to a wheelbarrow and into your garden when it’s ready. Most often people have 2. Built side by side. Half way through the season of collecting this for the garden you can start using the other bin so that you re not adding newer stuff to the first bin that won’t have time to fully break down. You may already know this but I ve been composting 25 years now fit myself gardens and don’t ever but buy of compost or any kind of soil to grow my food in. I also started a few hugelkulture rows in my gardens this year for my chard spinach and kale rows just to check it out. Oftentimes soil from the earth is perfect for the natural plants growing in it but not for plants that would find that soil foreign. But if you start a compost pile now you will have enough by next season to add it. Also you can buy bags of organic compost. Adding that now after you empty your garden - with a layer of mulched leaves left sitting through the snows and then digging it under 5-6 inches will make a huge difference. All that waste from your garden - spent tomatoes, bean plants, etc are a great addition to the compost or just piled up and mulched with your mower. Rake it up and add it to your garden. Also use a lot of make in smoothies with fruit to sweeten. Yum!!
Feed the lettuce to your chicken they’ll love it. Also garlic does really well you plant in the fall. Save the seeds from the lettuce you can plant next year. Cute kittie too!
Yeah cause the lettuce has long gone to seed. Brussel sprouts are a fall veggie…good luck, it can be tough… lots of times not worth it…imo same with broccoli and celery.
Great job with the garden and the cabin! All of it takes time, doesn't it? Each year we learn and grow and understand more why we do what we do and how/what we need to change, etc. Succession planting is great especially for veggies like the greens. I do pressure can my veggies when possible. You're doing great! Love all that you both do! 🙂🇨🇦
The gardens look great! You & Cierra did a great job! You learn from year to year how much of what veggies you want & do well! Thanks for sharing with us!
Great video Kyle You and Cierra did a very good job on your garden Inside looks so good and you did a great job on butcher block Take care and see you in next video
7.17 stash and goatie....7.20 stash and goatie gone....Lol Good example of how good videos take multiple days and quality editing to produce. Thanks for taking the time Kyle, and sharing your interesting days with us!!
When I was working on my greenhouse my boss grandma taught me when you add sweetness to a soil which is compost it can be too sweet so you have to add a line which is line or greenwood Ash take green cuttings off on trees burn them to down to an ash and that will be as a lime for your soil it's an old way of dealing with it cuz when you're compost is in your garden and it's too sweet it can burn the crops and burn the roots but add compost wood ash to your garden each year in the pH level and all that should be fine the only other suggestion I would make is when you add compost add some good sand I don't know how sandy soil is but your soil is tight that's why the onions are not getting that big my family's nothing but hillbillies from Michigan Michigan potato farmers we always added sand to our soil so the potatoes could get bigger easier to grow in the ground
love your tomatoes, they look super yummy! 😋 maybe you could try planting root crops next year like potatoes, corn, carrots, pumpkins...that would give you a little bit more option than just lettuce. can't wait for your updated cabin tour! give my love to Cierra. ♥️
Kyle, you two would enjoy looking at “ simple living Alaska “ they do all their own processing and of course gardening in general. Cheers from the west coast Canada.
Have you thought to hang your frypans on the wall above your butcher block? They’d look attractive as well as being handy to use! The home is coming on great and you’ve done better than we have with your veggies 😻
Great video Kyle, I love seeing those chooks free ranging. Also with those raised beds you must add compost or chicken , cow or horse manure before next years planting, and any chopped up verges you can’t eat, just add it to your raised beds to build the texture, drainage, and nutrients before next springs planting.

Jamaica 🇯🇲 here good seeing you wall looking awesome good job gardening is great too at least you’re able to get food that you can say how it’s grown congratulations and keep doing what you’re both doing be safe
Creat some compost bins out of old wood and put all kitchen scraps,veg garden,tree leafs,chicken cooup in it will make great compost for veg garden, cabin looks great 👍
much better without the mustacho !
That is a beautiful garden lots of good food i have enjoyed watching your video
My grandmother never staked her tomatoes; they did great. Heres a tip, the fruits don't need direct sun. They will scald. However, the leaves need the sun for photosynthesis to ripen the fruit.

Love your garden 👍👍
Thank you
Really nice 👍
Top your brussel sprouts so they send energy to the fruit. The stalk is what's important at this time of year
Really great job bro~!!! Not ez....Like the Knotty Pine !!!
Great work.
I dehydrate my extra greens and grind them into a powder. I then add the powder to soups, scrambled eggs, smoothies, just about anything.
I hope u really know how to say your green Chile pepper is called jalapeños………ha-la-pen-yos…….I am not an expert in languages, but I do know my Mexican chiles being a indigenous Mexican……….I enjoy watching the joy u have in living a life we should all b living…..God Bless✌🏾🤜🏽👍🙏🏾👵🏼
Awesome work
Since you are a great builder, you should build a greenhouse. If you can find a bunch of windows for cheap🤷🏻♂️ do some cucumbers 🥒 and can them.
You two are doing a great job on your homestead!!!! Better than I could!!!! 👍😁Take care&be safe💖💜💚
Kyle . . . improve the soil in your raised beds: When you clean out the chicken coop, put that on the garden beds. The same with leaves dropped from the trees. Compost tremendously improves the soil,
as does wood ash and charcoal. With the richer soil, your vegetables next year will flourish.
Can fresh chicken poop burn plants? Might check that out before just tossing it on.
@@MichelleOhio I think your right, IIRC my chicken friends dumped the chicken coop manure in its own piles to sit for a few months(?) prior to putting into the soil. Maybe after the final harvest you could amend the soil before the snow and it would be dilute by the time it gets to planting time in spring.

Good job on all your produce!
If you add peat moss to the chicken droppings, the droppings immediately become useable as fertilizer. Peat moss cools the " hot " chicken droppings.
@@MichelleOhio you are correct. Droppings are hot but if mixed with peat moss, it immediately cools down and is usable
Good looking garden ours is doing good too
the cabin looks beautiful love the look you guys are doing
LOVE SEEING THE RAIN GUYS
Love your videos, they are very entertaining .... Thumbs Up 👍
Consider potatoes, carrots, rutabaga and winter squash next year.
In Pensylvania they eat the broccoli AND the stems. Good!!
Add some Epsom salt to the dirt gives it magnesium and plants grow big.
Great garden. Add ur hen manure to ur garden this fall. That new guy with no mustache or goatee showed up
Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Compost and chicken poop tea...great for raised bed before next year planting
If you mix dead leaves and manure in your raised beds it will naturally fertilize your plants for great harvests!
Merrigolds are very good for natural mosquito repellent. Lord knows that in MN the mosquittos can grow at big as deer.
Nice going Kyle, you did a great job on the butcher block counter top.
Your garden is doing well, next year will be even better.
Glad to Cierra walking around, you are a good caregiver.
Use oak or maple for your block. Or for the next one
Thanks Kyle truly enjoy watching your blogs and your garden looks so good with your own home grown veges...very nice.
YEEEEWWWW
The kale freezes real well I haave a kale smoothie every morning! Great garden!
Broccoli needs a lot of water. Been gardening forever and it still surprises me
Your place looks very nice. Wonderful lifestyle. Thanks for your videos. You are blessing.
Maybe plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash and a root cellar to store everything. Like the shaved face and it makes you look younger. 😎
Hi Kyle and Cierra :) Nice garden!! that’s about as big as jalapeños get - and at that size will still knock your head off!!! Wash your hands after chopping them!
We’ve canned around 300 qts of beans this year off our completely organic garden. Plus other things. Glad to see you reaping the benefits.
Great trim work and butcher block build.
"hah-la-payn-yos"

Where is cierra? It would be great to see her again... Nice video!
Make you a compost pile. Butcher Block is 👏💯.
Woah bro total transformation with the shave, you look much younger. My wife won’t allow me to grow any facial hair lol.
Nice garden tour. Watch me install trim, and my shirt magically changes color…lol
You need some cabbage in the garden so you can make sauerkraut...good way to preserve the food for winter. :)
WOW The place looks great! I love the cute Miss Kitty😻
The best advice I can offer if you plan to start canning next year, is to start collecting jars and supplies now! There have been shortages of these supplies since the covid started. Hit the yard sales for stuff. Look around for a good quality pressure canner also.
Loved the butchers block. Those lettuce are well and truly bolted.
When you get your deer. You should can a bunch. Its cheap and very easy. Use an electric pressure cooker. And is great for a few years and shelf stable. If I get my bear I'm gonna can some of it. And make some smoked brats. Good stuff
I think I might build something like this over my dishwasher I know they have countertop chopping block but that’s so expensive
Awesome butcher's block! Yard and garden look great! 👍🇨🇦📷😎🥬🧅

I like the prep table
Peas will never get canned with me as I eat them as quick as the pods fill.
Nice butcher block table did a great job Kyle. Looking like you got a really good garden this year too.
Thank you! Any food you grow yourself is an awesome thing! Nice kitchen addition you build is awesome.

love your tomatoes, they look super yummy! 😋 maybe you could try planting root crops next year like potatoes, corn, carrots, pumpkins...that would give you a little bit more option than just lettuce. can't wait for your updated cabin tour! give my love to Cierra. ♥️
Raised beds improve each year
Beautiful garden..
Kyle, you two would enjoy looking at “ simple living Alaska “ they do all their own processing and of course gardening in general. Cheers from the west coast Canada.
Nice butcher block table! Good thing you moved inside. Cierra looks like she’s doing well! Thanks
Have you thought to hang your frypans on the wall above your butcher block? They’d look attractive as well as being handy to use! The home is coming on great and you’ve done better than we have with your veggies 😻
Great video Kyle, I love seeing those chooks free ranging. Also with those raised beds you must add compost or chicken , cow or horse manure before next years planting, and any chopped up verges you can’t eat, just add it to your raised beds to build the texture, drainage, and nutrients before next springs planting.
👋😎👍
I love growing peppers in buckets. They like warm soil and the buckets help with that, plus the plant's roots can only grow so big, they produce better. Works for tomatoes too. I agree with others about the raised beds. A few natural amendments will make a huge difference for next year.
Keep up the great work, kid. We enjoy your updates and look forward to many more.
I love ur place, everything looks amazing!! Good job!!
Your jalapeños look to be full size.
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here good seeing you wall looking awesome good job gardening is great too at least you’re able to get food that you can say how it’s grown congratulations and keep doing what you’re both doing be safe
Ya'll are on your way to 500k sub. Great job Kyle. Love ❤️ you videos.
Onions are heavy feeders. We fertilize once a week
Nice improvements, everything looks great!
Creat some compost bins out of old wood and put all kitchen scraps,veg garden,tree leafs,chicken cooup in it will make great compost for veg garden, cabin looks great 👍
Money Saver🤑 when you run outta oil, just buy Mineral Oil at Walmart or a pharmacy. It’s half the price and the same exact thing. Looking good!!
Enjoyed watching 👀
The place really looks nice and cozy. You guys are living the life you want. Bravo!!!
The gardens are looking great to me Kyle we all learn as we go.
Great butcher block, & so nice to see the fruits of your labor! 🍅🌶️🥕
