You're welcome

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.

Good advice with the celery. That could be easier than growing from seed. Thanks for the feedback and watching as well.

haha...basic. I go out there every once in a great while if we haven't had rain in a long time and water it with a hose - that's it. We have good shade around 4-5 pm and everything gets mulched.

Thank you!

Agreed. Teach someone to grow food and they be fed for a lifetime.

Some people can them.

Yes it's a fun age for sure. Don't want her to grow up!

@@togetherweharvest Enjoy every second and record her and take pictures every chance you get, continue giving her great memories of you and her tending the family garden. =)

Thanks for watching!

That's a really good idea! I'll have to try that next year. I love intercropping as many varieties of crops as possible - can't believe I never thought of that.

Thank you. I appreciate your open-mindedness.

That's a good idea.

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

Good good. It's nice having a quality hatchery you can count on. The hatchery we ordered through is very good. We also use apple cider vinegar in their water. It was the feed that got wet and eventually created mold, that caused this issue.

A couple actually. Thanks for watching

You're welcome

Glad you enjoyed it

Good information. Thank you!

Same! Thanks for watching.

You're welcome!

We get our first frost in September. I actually made a minor mistake with the mulch. I should have waiting 2-3 weeks after planting the slips before adding the mulch. This gets the soil really warm, which the slips like.

Why wouldn’t you add mulch right after planting?

Because the slips will grow better in warm soil. Without mulch, the soil heats up. Once the slips are established and growing properly (2-3 weeks after planting), I'll then add the mulch. This is the only crop I do this with.

You're so welcome!

Definitely! Something we've talked about.

@@togetherweharvest very little work, 10min/colony every 10 days. Extracting honey in the fall takes time. But very rewarding. I got 120lbs honey from one hive this past year.

Do you know of any good UA-cam channels that demonstrate starting out with honey bees? It's always something I've been interested in.

@@togetherweharvest each area of the US/globe has different things to do due to weather/pests. I recommend finding a local honey bee class. That’s how I got started. You may be late this year.. idk. For Alaska you’re def late. But the longer seasons areas in lower48, maybe you can get one going this year and still get a good harvest. Even 3weeks late in central Alaska and you won’t get a harvest cause our seasons are so short. 😂.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into a class.

Enjoy! It's super easy.

Cover the plants with plastic? I've never heard of this. Why are you using landscape fabric?

Thank you

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Not sure. It will probably say on the tractor supply website.

That's good to know! Many pear varieties require zone 5 or warmer. We are in zone 4 but I'm sure there's a way to make it work. Great tip BTW

@@togetherweharvest If you’re fine with the smaller size, you can grow the Siberian pear like they do in central Canada for really tough cold hardiness. The most common varieties in North America are Ure and Golden spice, roughly the size of Seckel, and fireblight resistant. There are many other varieties, possibly bigger and better ones, you just have to be sure to look at fireblight resistance of any variety you research because not all of them are resistant. If you’re a low maintenance type of guy like me, just know that you don’t have to do the whole pick them green then ripen them inside thing that most people do with pears, you can let them drop or shake the tree and pick them off the ground. People do that process to prevent the flesh from browning on the inside because they think it’s rot. It’s not rot at all, it’s bletting, the same process persimmons do to ripen during the fall and winter so they don’t lose all quality during a freeze, like a cherry or peach would, it’s just a different way of ripening than normal. Winter is the season wild pears ripen in, the soft brown flesh is not harmful, just oxidation like when you cut an apple. If anything it makes it sweeter. If you want to see what I’m talking about you can look at the videos by All the Fruit about Pyrus Pyraster and Sorbus Domestica, that will show you what a wild fruit tree that’s related to pears looks like when ripe. You can also look into astringent type persimmons to understand what it looks like on a domesticated fruit, those won’t grow up where you are though. Pears are also easier to dehydrate with low tech methods because of that style of ripening. A really nice bit of produce for a time of year that typically has none. Good luck!

Thanks for all the good info. I'll definitely look into this! Well said.

sour kraut

Thanks. Having close neighbors would be a challenge

Thank you!

Thank you. Homesteading will happen as long as I am able, yes. I have 3 jobs, currently. One is UA-cam so that's technically on the homestead.

Thank you!

Definitely! She's a ball to have around while filming!

You're right. It's too bad really

We harvested these broccoli because we want smaller ones. In other words, didn't save these seeds since we weren't planning to use them in the future. If we like the ones we've planted this season, we will probably let them go to seed and save them for future plantings. Excellent question.

Ahhh that's good to know. I thought it was a summer squash so they shouldn't last that long...hmmm Thanks for the info!

Thanks for subbing! God bless you as well.

Great idea. Yes, use jute twine. By a huge roll at a farm store. Every 8-10 inches, loosely wrap the twine around the limb and your squash vine as it grows up. I could do a short video in the future, yes.

@@togetherweharvest Thank you so much. I have some jute twine so I will be ready. I will keep an eye out for your tutorial. You have so many practical and budget friendly tips on your channel.
