Thank you. Wish I had time to film more often. One day.

@@oakeymthomestead4635 little bit when you're down there alone.

@@mags7226 I think everyone could use a little time in the garden first thing.

@oakeymt.outdoors there were a few but they disappeared as soon as I got near the edge. There were quite a few Warmouth though.

@delboytrotter2042 hadn't seen much though the previous summer I did run into a paper wasp nest hanging above the upper falls.

@ervinslens North Carolina has some incredible falls. Several more to come.

@nbmwood a lot of the time we plant then with Epson salt and calcium tablets in the hole and plenty of water. Also plant them deep. Then it's just a matter of constant weeding, watering, and picking.

@nbmwood it is. Peaches and Cream the should be ready for the Farmer's Market in the next weekend or so.

@@nbmwood these falls really made me feel small. But gorgeous.

@kyleferrentino1723 the falls are located in Tuckasegee North Carolina. The trail is one of the most strenuous I have ever done with near 90* climbs from root to root. I'll have the main video up in a few days.

Just one of my little buddies.

Thank you. Great Harvest.

Probably. I'll try next time.

The steps aren't bad. The floor and the climb out are rough though.

I've done a lot of waterfall hikes since last year when the channel started. Had to put them off with all the gardens going in but I will start back soon and adding in kayaking videos in the next month I hope. Thank you for supporting.

Thank you Jess. Hope you're doing well.

Have used egg shells. Have used calcium tablets. The milk was just a test to see how they react and as of right now the plants have doubled in size and are darkening well. So right now really happy with the outcome.

We've been doing it for more than 30 years this way and have had crops beyond what we ourselves can consume. If you'd like you can view the videos from last year and look at the plants afterwards. They have always thrived with this method but thank you for your insight.

​@@peacefulvalleyoutdoors So for 30 years you never tried a different method, then you cannot say that yours thrive without trying other methods. I'm talking about a deeper understanding for living things. Good luck. But remember, luck runs out.

@XTCMatrix considering the crops do well enough to feed 2 households as well as keep the local farmer's market busy, I'd say they thrive; and if the current method of growth results in produce that far exceeds our current needs, it wouldn't make sense to start changing things now. As stated in the video, there have been changes made in the past, using calcium tablets, Epson salts, milk, etc.

While true, the added depth in planting is also just a means of creating stability in the plants, especially when planting vertically.

@@peacefulvalleyoutdoors huh?

@@endoftheage.bibleprophecy2023 Your comment that the root hairs extend to the first false leaves. My response was that this is true, but we plant them deeper to give the plant an even sturdier base to begin with. You can bury a plant horizontally with just the top cluster of leaves showing, and it will thrive. Tomatoes love to be deep.

@@peacefulvalleyoutdoors but why when the roots only come up to the false leaves? Do u use woodchip

@@endoftheage.bibleprophecy2023 Tomatoes actually have the ability to sprout additional roots along the buried stem. These extra roots strengthen the plant so that it can support more fruit and is better able to survive hot weather. (This applies whether you're growing in the ground, in a raised bed, or in a container.) It's just how I've spent the last 30 years watching people plant and planting our own tomatoes. I do not use wood chips. In the past I have used wheat straw and then at time I use nothing but have had success with either way.

Yay, you can finally comment on the channel. It's a beautiful area around there and a lot of different sights.

It's our booth every Saturday. Love it.

Scraps and compostables can be buried directly in a bed around your plants to break down over time. They don't have to spend a year before it's ready to be used. As for the topsoil, the beds do not consist of it. They are a mix of top soil, compost, grass clippings, peat moss, sand, and garden soil.

Thank you so much for following. This is my second year doing raised beds behind the house but we've been putting in major gardens in the fields where I grew up since I was young. There is nothing that tastes better than vegetables started, grown, and harvested all by yourself. Best of luck to you.

Yes, that's very easy too. But I never simply use soil bought in bags. That's why peat moss, compost, sand, and organic matter are all added.

Thank you. Small falls but they were worth the little hike.

That's director's cut footage.

I second that!

😂

Honestly, now I am having trouble remembering which, but it was a standard rebar 2 feet long from the local Home Depot.

Thank you.

It was probably my favorite that day.

Thank you. There will be 1 more to come from the trip. Sadly, the footage for Dry Falls got corrupted, but you can see photos from it on the community tab.

I was thinking the same thing.

It is a waterfall about 10 to 12 minutes outside of Cashiers North Carolina. You can find it easily using the AllTrails App. That's how I plan my trips.

Thank you. We've been to so many over the last year and there are some incredible ones coming in the next month or so.

Thank you for watching and of course thank you for the support. Here in the next month, or so, there will probably be plenty of farming videos. It's that time.

Thank you. Knew I had to get some of them frozen. This was the best I found.

Given that the soil in the beds had never been worked, I wasn't expecting the biggest haul. But, adding to it and conditioning it over the years will greatly increase the yield. Everything takes time.

It was the easiest of the hikes. Short and smooth ground.

That's a shame. Yeah they're usually half price here when they are damaged. Or like the video I did at Christmas they put some on sale. Really stocked up then.

yes, i saw at many channels, there are nice discounts at dead season too on fertilizers, etc. Well, different market. :/@@peacefulvalleyoutdoors

The fertilizer is actually Epson salt. The small white rocks are actually calcium tablets. Tomatoes are fond of calcium as it can help with pollen germination and helps with growth. It also helps with the fruit quality.

Red clay can be a pain but there's thankfully ways to work with it. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for your support.

I've got 1 more in mind when it hits single digits again that might rival this one.
