Raised Bed Garden UPDATE
Garden update SUMMER 2023!!!!
Found this gem in the edits and decided to post for fun! No frills. Just us girlies having fun in the garden:)
The beds are filled with dirt and planted!
I used the app PLANTER to plan my garden this year using the square foot method and it was so easy!
I sourced most of my plants from friends, neighbors, and coworkers, but I did purchase seeds from freeheirloomseeds.org. It is a nonprofit organization that promotes heirlooms seeds. They also give away free seeds! Check out their website for more info.
I had my little helper today. She's a hoot and loves helping in the garden!

Morel Mushroom Hunting: BIG YELLOWS!!
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
My BFF Sarah and I are on the hunt for big yellow morel mushrooms. Our day starts off slow, but then we hit the JACKPOT. This video was shot at the very end of April in Southern Indiana. TIPS: 1. Get off the path! If you want to find the big golden beauties, you have got to put in the work. Wear some thick pants and good shoes and start bushwacking in the rugged terrain. There are plenty of GPS...
Raised Garden Beds On A Budget PART 3
Переглядів 3 тис.Рік тому
Putting on the finishing touches! We've got the beds all lined up and ready for action. I'll show you the sealant we put on the inside of the beds to increase their longevity, and I finally get to filling those 2 foot tall beds. We went with the classic lasagna method of layering materials. Almost there! @CaptainKleeman #raisedbedgardening #wildroots #homestead
Raised Garden Beds On A Budget PART 2
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
In our previous video we showed how we created "kits" from low grade cypress wood we got from the local mill. After doing the math it came out to approximately $40 for a 4x8 feet bed. Sounds like a deal to me! We spend the day assembling our beds and setting them up in the new garden area. @CaptainKleeman #raisedbedgardening #wildroots #homestead
Starting Raised Garden Beds On A Budget
Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому
Happy Valentines Day! @CaptainKleeman and I are spending some quality time together building the raised garden bed of my dreams. We purchased some cypress from our local mill and are cutting them down to size to make 4x8x2 feet beds. We ended up spending .36 a square board so we will see if we can make it for under $50 a bed! Step one is complete. Next video we will discuss how much we spend an...

Glad that you enjoyed yourselves in the Buckeye State. We love it when people visit and get to enjoy what we have to offer. ✌️😎
Hello... Name's Kelli greetings from Nairobi! Nice park
Thanks for the update. Now for some recipes featuring your home grown produce please. 🐶
I'm not used to eating wild mushrooms. I think there's a real fear of getting poisoned. You obviously know what to look for. Do you have any pointers on getting over this hurdle?
Thank you for the tips on the app and the free seeds!!
We finally went there last April. One of the prettiest places we have hiked....loved it. Our dog struggled on a few trails. Especially one with a metal grate stairway. His poor paws. The campground was nice...but our site needed to be raked of leaves...the ticks were bad.
Thanks for sharing your garden with us! Cool tip about the heirloom seeds. I just checked out their website and they have lots of variety, and it's really neat that they are donation/volunteer run. Happy harvesting!
Is there any kayaking in this area surrounding this place? Thanks for the video!!!
Sugar valley canoes were great! It’s right by the campgrounds and goes through the park.
What did you say you used in your driveway and instead of pavers?
Chert!
👍👍
Hi, Really nice to see you post again. Your garden is doing well. Your so far ahead of Us in South west British Columbia Canada we had a few warm days but its about 9 C / 42° F Stay safe and smiling 👌👍 🇨🇦Craig
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see an update on how the raised bed garden’s worked out. Was hopeful I might find a video from the Captain today but lucked out with a video from the Admiral. Looks like you might be giving DP some competition as far as aging fine videos and not releasing them ahead of time. Wishing you and your family the best.
Good morning and great video. The garden looks great. Take care and Happy Easter
Thanks for the update. Looks like you are taking a page from Dirt Perfect. lol Actually, I was just wondering how the garden turned out. A huge success, I would say. The best part is the excitement in your baby's voice. I want to expand my garden but finding the right wood is not easy. The Cyprus is perfect. It would be nice to find a source close to us here in Floyd County. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Hi good job using what you have to do what you need to do👍 I trued to use my plant identifying app to name your free-bee compost plants but could not get a sharp image, the app is Picture this, and then you can get versions for Plants Birds Fungi Bugs and so-on, it my help you I find it useful 😊 all the best👍🐝🌞
Nothing better than being in the garden !! 😃 Good crops on the way, got to keep the family fed !! 😁
Great to see the Better half of the Kleeman family. Perfect quick little video, don’t keep us waiting so long. I know you’re ready for the mushrooms!
Did you plant in January? Garden looked great hope it produced well for you
lol looks like it! This is an old video from last summer.
I was wondering how your corn was so tall already!

Good job and video
I’m in Perry County! lol so funny! Also my great grandpa owned part of the land of Cantwell Cliffs and donated it to the State.
19:16 awsome guys. Thanks for sharing 19:39
Would love an update! What is going in the garden this year? Do you have to shoo the turkeys or chickens away? Can't wait to see more!
Awesome place ! I drive past there a lot . I need to stop by❤
Great vid guys a must to visit thanx a mill Patrick Toronto 🇨🇦
Great video getting exited about this season!
Are there mosquitoes ?
Neither of them seem the least bit concerned about poison ivy.......it's everywhere!!! Maybe they're the lucky ones and aren't allergic!
And I apologize if they aren't sandals. Thank you have a blessed day.😊😊😊
Thank you for reminding me of what I have been missing by not going to old man's cave. I can't seem to find anybody that wants To go with me. But I sure will play on a trip and see that wonderful Beautiful nature that God has given us. I was looking at your shoes or sandals and I just remembered that my sister got me. This these really sturdy sandals. I think are perhaps for hiking. I'll be working out and get ready for this coming year, 2024. Thank you so much and god bless I enjoyed it❤❤❤
I appreciate your video. I'm almost getting too old to hike them. I have many memories of being there with family and friends in the past. We just called them "The Caves."
When it's time to hunt mushrooms I dream about finding them.We also call them dryland fish❤😊
Would love to see a garden bed update!
Hi from OHIO, Chelsea do you have any tee-shirts or sweatshirts??? I need some for CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. I’m watch his spin-off channel today 11-2-2023 PLEASE LET ME NOW !!! THANK YOU!! And KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOUALL ARE DOING!!!
Local to the area. Here's a few tips... #1 locals are increasingly dreadful of tourists, especially those driving 35mph down 664. Just remember not everyone are sightseers, your lollygagging is making a local late. #2 don't bother with airbnbs, this is a money grab by non-locals that are pushing locals out of town. #3 DO NOT expect early check ins at hotels, cabins, etc especially in summer months or October. And please, don't even mention having a wedding to go to. Literally no one cares 🙄 #4. Yes, lodging is EXPENSIVE EVERYWHERE in this area. Don't verbally abuse staff anywhere. The park is free, and the area is a hot commodity. Business owners KNOW the secret is out and YOU will pay for it. #5. Respect the trails. Karen Raymore, head of the tourism committee almost single handedly put the area on the map to line her own pockets. She's a non local that did it for the money. (Logan was largely a ghost town pre 2015).

I've been going to that park; at least once a year. since 1963 Spring Mill too
I cannot wait for season to start😅
The little cabins with the fireplaces are warming points for scheduled Winter hikes for Boy/Girl/Cub scouts. It's funny how you said not to bring your kids to Cantwell Cliffs. I remember my daughter complaining on the way up from the gorge. We had already done 3 other hikes. Old Man's Cave, Conkle's Hollow and Ash Cave. She was only 6 and she was certain her legs were going to fall off😂.
It makes me feel good to see non Ohioans enjoy the Hocking Hills. It's been a staple in my life all of my life. It would take days to experience everything the Hocking Hills have to offer. I've hiked every trail dozens of times at least. Stayed in many cabins as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Have hiked there several times over the years. It's almost magical in the spring. With the scents of the spruce and hemlocks. May I recommend a book for you called "Off the Beaten Path". You may also like Ricketts Glen, PA., Red River Gorge, KY., Letchworth State Park,and Watkins Glen, NY. Enjoy your travels amidst the hidden gems.
This looks nice. I need to get out there at some point. Indiana is a state I haven't explored at all. Thanks for sharing this wonderful state park.
Very nice tour, have a blessed week my dear! 💚✨
This area is the furthest west the Eastern Hemlock is found, because the cool canyons.
We float Sugar Creek in kayaks often.
Beautiful trails. The aged goat did a pretty good job of working the camera. You should have sung a tune instead of just humming. Your Lillian and Cora are shooting on up. Miss Lilly is almost as tall as mama.
