Tulip Tour 🌷
Most of the spring bulbs are long gone, but I wanted to share the tulip tour with you in case you need a few tulips to brighten your day! Planting spring bulbs is a back-breaking task, but as soon as spring rolls around I always thank myself for putting in the time to do it. After a long winter, it is so refreshing to see the bright, cheery colors of spring.
Thanks for watching!

How to Build a Cut Flower Garden 🚜🌺💐
Переглядів 597 місяців тому
A couple years ago I asked for some help to build a dedicated cut flower garden. Several factors led to the new flower bed: - I had just been selected as an ambassador for an organization with the goal of spreading kindness through flowers. - We made changes to the layout of the yard and removed an existing flower bed that held cut flowers - I wanted to add a flower bed to the front yard that p...
Planting Asparagus with Machines
Переглядів 1018 місяців тому
It's one of our favorite spring foods! After saving asparagus seed and starting it late winter it's time to dig a hole and plant the seedlings...with machines. There are about 30 seedlings to plant at a site that will get full sun, a bit of pampering during the first year and tough love after that. First a trench was dug about 18" deep. The soil is pretty good in this location, but we had bette...
Using a Power Broom for Spring Cleaning the Yard
Переглядів 1,1 тис.8 місяців тому
A definite upgrade to the trusty rake, this power broom makes pretty quick work of all the gravel and debris that makes its way into your yard over the winter. Definitely not a tool that is required for yard maintenance, but it certainly saves a lot of time and backache. I for one, am very thankful that dad helps clean up the ditch so that I can mow it without throwing rocks all summer. A coupl...
Multiplying Your Dahlia Stock - How to Take Cuttings from Dahlias
Переглядів 2669 місяців тому
This is part 2 of the process to propogate your dahlias. Once the tubers you've settled into soil have sprouted a 2-4" growth, you can take a cutting, or two, or three. I show a couple ways to take the cutting in the video, but let me know your preferred way! Then tuck your cutting into soil and over the next month or two it will develop roots and be ready to grow in your gardens. Detailed inst...
Ranunculus Update: Planting in the Tunnel
Переглядів 1149 місяців тому
The next step in the 2024 ranunculus journey! They're going in the ground about six weeks after pre-sprouting them. We're planting in zone 4b and this tray is going under a small hoop tunnel. Ranunculus prefer cooler temperatures, so early spring is a great time to get them in the ground. From what I've heard/read they are also heavy feeders and would benefit from fertilizer throughout the seas...
Maple Syrup Season | That's A Wrap
Переглядів 2669 місяців тому
2024 Maple Syrup Season is in the books. Another short season, but it sure was nice to have a bit less snow to plow through. All of the food, supplies and equipment are taken out of the sugar shack to be stored away during the off season or cleaned. One of the final steps is to take all of the buckets and taps off the trees and clean/sterilize them. Because the sap has a tiny amount of sugar in...
Maple Syrup Season: Collecting and Finishing Syrup
Переглядів 33410 місяців тому
It's the last day of collecting for the 2024 season. Another short year, but the weather was really quite strange. While the season was short, it was very pleasant to tap the trees and collect when there was hardly any snow on the ground. This is what a typical day of collecting looks like, lots of helping hands, off handed commentary and food. Then on a quieter day, we show you how we finish t...

How to Get a Better Boil | Cleaning the Syrup Pan

Here's one of the key ways we find we get a better boil...clean the syrup pan. Tim cleans out the syrup pan every other day to ensure the niter doesn't build up too much. This video shows the process of getting the pans swapped out. The cleaning part is a bit of elbow grease and time. This year was a rough one as far as 'burning' or 'boiling' a bit too much. Whether it was the weather or a dist...
It Smells Like Syrup! Our Boiling Setup

The sap was being collected, the fire was set, then the boiling can begin. When the wind isn't blowing too hard and the sap is really cooking, it smells like a candy factory in the sugar shack. Luckily dad has figured out all the details and nuances for this part of the process as there is a lot to juggle and keep track of. Anyone else have any 'oh shoot' or sticky floor issues this season?

The MOST Useful Piece of Sugar Shack Equipment

If you are looking to make your own maple syrup, this is the one piece of equipment that you must get. Well, it might not make the top 5 most useful items, but dad has found it to be useful to store and move wood around when firing the stove. He loads it from either the pile inside or from a load just outside the shack, then he can maneuver it near the stove so the door doesn't stay open longer...
Starting the Flower Season by Presprouting Ranunculus
Переглядів 43911 місяців тому
If you're looking for a beautiful, showy flower that lasts well in a vase and blooms in early summer for weeks...you need ranunculus. Good news is that getting them started is pretty easy! 1. Soak the corms for 3 hours (I'd recommend 3-4 hours) 2. Add 1-2" of soil to a container 3. Place the soaked corms spikey ends down on top of the soil. If you are going to plant them out or pot them up, you...
Maple Syrup Season: Today is the Perfect Day for Tapping

This is my favorite day of the syrup season. It probably takes a bit longer with the younger crew, but the cousins have a great time catching up and are helping more and more. Each year they need a little less hand-holding from the moms and gravitate towards following grandpa around. Its fun watching them learn the process over the years and see what memories they have from previous seasons. We...

I would like to make charcoal out of it if i can.Also i noticed you said you wont use pine to make the fire, would it still work if i burned it long enough? Im surprised you're not burning 55 gal worth in a smalled walled area, with all that land.How many pounds do you think you get out of that 15 gal barrel?

    Hard maple is rock maple is sugar maple. Highest sugar levels. I have trees in the 3 to 5 percent range. Most are about 1.75 percent. The higher sugar trees were experimental saplings from Cornell 40 years plus ago. Red maple has lower sugar levels and can influence the syrup taste. Some restaurants buy the hard/red syrup because of this. Birch and walnut can be tapped. But maple is unique in that we cut maple for its sapwood which is prevalent. Not so with birch and walnut. So drilling deep gets your spile into heart wood which is a waste of time. Birch syrup is good but it’s an acquired taste. I like it but then I am hard core Vermont maple. I have not tapped walnut as I am grooming them for veneer logs. I might try it but I don’t know yet.

    I do my recipe basically the same as yours but I do not remove the skins from the tomatoes. Let it all cook for a few days in the roaster, then run thru the food processor and then thru a food mill. Comes out beautifully. I add a tbsp of lemon juice to each 1.5 pint jar and then pressure can for 15 min.
