Welcome to our Boreal life!
First time, learning, homestead experience.
I have been gardening casually for over 10 years ... but now, it's getting serious! We live in a zone 2, so welcome and follow us in our homestead-building journey, even through our harsh climate ... we can learn together!
PO box: while I do appreciate people wanting to offer me gifts, I would not feel right to accept anything from my viewers. If you really, really want to make me happy, what would make me happiest are donations for research for muscular dystrophy: laforcedmd.com/en/

Slugs are my challenge with brassicas as well. Don't have much caterpillar problems. We always had only one garden as well. But getting involved with the online community has helped us spread our knowledge and ideas.
Right!! We live and we learn; it's a good time to be alive, being able to share and be shared to like that!
Hello❤ tôi xem nó từ Việt Nam
Hello!
مساء الخير يا صديقتي العزيزه فيديو رووووووووعة أحسنتي استمري في هذا العمل الرائع ❤
You never stop learning with gardens. Each year is different so do the best you can at learning what grows best in your area.
Very true!
Next spring plant marigolds in and around your beds, they help so much in keeping pest away. Our gardens are about done for the summer so getting ready to plant fall gardens. Its 1am here so im catching up on your videos, your doing a great job with your beds.
Thank you! That is a great idea, I did sow a few of them, but they didn't sprout. Next year I'll try to plant ++++
Some channels are made to inspire people by showing perfect gardens. Other channels are made to encourage people that, despite the challenges, gardening is worth it.
You're totally right!
Good Job!!! Un pas à la fois c'est un beau et grand projet 🙂
Merci!! :D
The youtubers you follow have "Knowledge" and "tips" to share. Remember, many people think something that works for one must work for all. Not true. Those UA-camrs with "Knowledge and Tips" are just reporting on what worked for them. Your job here is to show what worked (or didn't work) for you.
Good point!
Hello, nice video :) Here all my cabages and brocolis are being eated by insects,, so since 3 years i have to put a net over them. If i don't do that i would not have any harvest. They are particulalry voracious this year.
Yeah! I've been thinking about it, but I figured I would try this out first, I'm a bit lazy 😂
Ok j'ai besoin de ces raised bed pour enfants ils sont trop mignon 😍😍. As-tu un lien affilié Amazon pour ça ?
Avoue hein!! Haha je te mets ça ici: amzn.to/44sID0N
Always nice to see how other peoples garden looks before gardening starts in spring. Encouragement for those of us at the same time.
Excited to see all the things you will be growing. Hopefully some flowers.
Yes it's almost time.
Your chicken coups looking nice. We have 22 chickens and tomorrow we are getting 2 female goats that were gifted to us. Now we will be building them a house and putting up fence.😂
Oh that's nice!
We had a big snow/ ice storm 3 weeks ago and this week we are in the 60s. This weather is Cray Cray.
Yes! Today we have rain and it's +6, I'm not mad its starting to melt, haha, but makes no sense
Glad to see you back❤
Thank you :)
I think this is a great variety of books, very helpful.
Thank you :)
Thank you for the book recommendations. You may really like Landrace Gardening by Joseph Lofthouse. It's about breeding plants to adapt to your environment rather than doing all the hard, expensive work to make your environment adapt to the plants. I think it can be a real game changer for people like you who live in extreme climates. Best wishes to you in the new year.
Oh wow thanks! I will for sure look into it!
I would love to see a homeschool rec list, my oldest is 18 months and I'd love to have some time to prepare for whats needed!
That is a great idea! Will put it on my list for when I have time to get back to videos :)
thank you very much!@@borealliving5859
Rewatching your videos, been looking for new ones. Praying you all are ok.
I am sorry I didn't see this comment before! Everyone is doing really well, I'm uploading a new video talking about everything right at this moment, haha
Thanks for the book recommendations.
Youre welcome :)
Hi!!! So glad to see you. I ordered some of these from the library now that it's fall, I'll have more reading time. Just homeschooling my baby,17, now but September/Oct is so busy, harvest on farm, shipping calves to auction, cleaning garden. Interested in how the squash did for you? Amy
The squash did good! I didn't plant many, so I got maybe 5 or 6 squashes, definately plan on planting a TON more next year!
Glad to see you back. Yes understand the homeschooling time of the year. I've out canned the room we have so my husband has got me a 12 x 25 building almost complete for a canning kitchen. Hope all is well your way. Till next time.
Wow! You get a lot done considering you still have little ones at home!
Thank you :) I find it hard to put things in perspective, im so used to my daily chaos that sometimes I tend to forget (or ignore) that I cant do as much with that much tiny ""help"" than if I was alone haha
Canning our own homegrown food has been a blessing to me in knowing what my family is eating. Praying we get to buy a half cow this fall and get it all canned up for winter.
It is incredible the satisfaction it gice us right!
You should try making peach and jalenpeo jam. It taste amazing. Your canned stew looks good. As I find beef on sale I like to can up stews also for quick meals when the day has been busy.
Yes!! They are the best gifts to our future selves, haha. Will look out for that recipe!
first
Oh snap I have a "first" comment 😍😍
You can also add shredded zucchini to ha.burgsr, to add a veggie to your meal, and make your meat go farther.
You're right! Never thought about that, good idea :)
Look up the recipe for mock pineapple also make mock apple using the same recipe just replace the pineapple juice for apple juice. It's unbelievable and make the kids will like it.
Thanks for the tip! I will look that up :D
We are done with our spring/ summer garden with a good harvest. Now are fall garden in going in.
Nice! We are on this way too; I started planting fall crops, but still not done with the summer garden ... tomatoes are not ripe yet haha
I dehydrated a lot of camomile. Sweeten it with a little honey. 😋
Yum! Those are the best kinds of teas
As long as you have food growing let it me. There's always next year.
Exactly! There's always next year; and a lot of my work this year has been setting up things for next year. Can't wait for next year hahaha
When we are planting our plants we put a teaspoon of Epson salt in the hole. That will help discourage the slugs and the salt is also good for the plants.
I never heard about this one before; I feel we have less slugs than last year still, and I heard a few people mention how slugs were a lot worse their first 3 years. So I'm keeping hope and trust in nature, that everything will balance itself out. I've noticed a lot more birds this year, and ... a LOT of grass snakes. I mean, I've lived in the woods here most of my childhood and never seen a grass snake, they are pretty rare ... and this year? I've seen one every week, and I can say for sure we have at least 4 different ones. Feel kinda proud they chose my garden as their home haha
super ton jardin
Merci :)
I forage wild sarsparilla root for a tea, for when we are fighting a cold. If you have woods with pinetrees and sandy soil nearby, they grow well there. They have 1 stem which divides into 3 stems at a central pount. You dig out the roots and dry, storing in a paper bag. Then we boil in water when we are fighting a cold. Its a relative to ginseng. I think there are videos on youtube by the herb guy
Oh cool! I will surely look that up :)
It looks so beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I'm already giving away squash here. What a busy wonderful time this is!
That is awesome! This video is a little old, im not at the point of harvesting squash but wete gonna have a good harvest :)
Nice garden. The vegetable you think it’s beet, could it be red Swiss chard? To attract pollinators, did you try growing milkweed next to your vegetable garden? It works for us! Also, I’m curious about souchet. How do you use it?
It really does look like swiss chars eh? Must be that, I just dont remember planting it 😅
And for souchet, its my first year growing it but you can eat it like most nuts; raw, you can roast it, mill it, cook it. Cant wait to try!
J'ai essayé qq chose de nouveau cette année... oui, j'ai semé et mangé des radis. Mais, mes daIkons n'ont pas vraiment fonctionnés... je les ai laissés monter en graines et lorsque les *cosses* ont été relativement grosses, je les ai mangées, avant qu'elles soient récupérées comme des graines! C'est plus piquant que des radis, mais c'est quand même bon! (Venant d'une fille qui n'aime pas le piquant! LOL )
Oh miam à essayer!
Vers 5:50.. c'est quoi, par curiosité, ces bestioles? Des limaces?
Ouin limaces/escargots ... y'en a tellement!
I think it might be a turnip, rather than a beet
Maybe! Hmm ... I guess I will have a surprise dinner haha
My garden also has weeds, thanks for the honest tour. Its looking good!
Thank you! I thknk it's always worst when we're looking at it from too close haha
Very interesting! Thanks
Thanks for watching :)
I lay the rhubarb leaves around my plants to keep weeds down
That's cool! I need more rhubarb, I layed them on the ground and I would need waaaay more 😂
You were saying that you wouldn't be doing a pantry challenge in June. I think that you were explaining that you were sort of trying to do it just as time has passed. I don't do well in the heat either. At a certain temperature, I can barely function. I hope you get relief soon.
Thank you! Yes, I think that's what I meant to say, haha. Temperatures are down, feels good! We just need some rain ;)
Praying you all are safe from the fires. Try using peppermint for repelling bugs.
Thanks! I will try that :)
Thank you for showing your kitchen and being honest. My kids are grown and my house also is a disaster because of cattle branding/sorting and garden work
Yes, SHTF when garden season starts hahaha
We have mosquitos too here in saskatchewan, they really make it more difficult to enjoy gardening
Yess!! Thankfully it's not as bad in July/August
Sucks because this week, the temps went down to 15ish, plus a lot of winds, so perfect to garden! No mosquitos ... but we cant stay outside really long because of the smoke 😣
Yes, different perspective. Southern states people think anything below freezing is Soooo cold! 25C is our boiling point!
Hahaha exactly, were back in the 15s and I'm really happy about it (even if we cannot work outside because of smoke!)
Better to try than have so much fear that you do nothing and just dream.
Exactly!
they are beetles adding water to the buckets and you will get more good luck
Good idea!
