Love seeing their bare feet in dirt and being taught skills! You are a GREAT mom!!!
Amen!
Please don’t apologize for doing gardening videos! My husband and I both enjoy immensely watching your garden grow! Thank you for sharing!
Teaching life skills is literally the PARENT'S, not the school, not the church's job. Good job Mom! 👍🏻❤
Often times having children help is more trouble than help. But, if you want to raise healthy children you need to keep allowing them to help, and positively encourage their efforts. You do a good job with both. Thank you for the lovely video. God bless.
Oh please do not ever apologize for taken us to your garden. I love your garden it’s always so beautiful, I love watching it grow, and you can ramble all you want, it’s great to hear you talk about the garden and all the love and care it takes to keep it growing. You three boys do an amazing job helping Mom and they are learning wonderful skills that will help them in life as they grow into adulthood. God Bless
I love how patient you are while teaching your children how to help out. Teaching traditions is so important.
We'll "humor " you any day! Your detailed info is wonderful. Great to see young ones working together.
I will never get tired of your gardening videos. They are so informative and give me garden goals . I love seeing you all work together as family. ❤
Ruth Ann you are so smart how you are teaching your boys. Kendrick using his arm to measure. Such a great idea. That's what I call good parenting. Showing them short cuts that will help them through life. I love watching your videos whether it's gardening or cooking. You are fantastic! I'm 69 and learning so much from you.
The idea of neighbors cooperating with each other is an old idea. I love that! We all help each other in my little neighborhood.
It’s a delight to watch how you have recovered such a big blow to your garden. You would think other farmers would understand the impact of their decisions on other farmers. But I guess it an opportunity to practice forgiveness.
I'm glad the extension agent is going to come out. Still need to be tested. Don't want to poison your family. Then have a good talk with a neighbor. 😮😮😮
You have a beautiful garden and I thoroughly enjoy watching you and the little boys work in your garden. Growing your own food provides nutrition that store bought vegetables don't provide anymore. I admire your hard work and the garden you have created. You can't put a price on that.
I can only speak for myself, but I’m definitely not humoring you by hanging out in your garden with you, I’m honored.😊 I enjoy seeing how your garden is growing because I don’t have one myself this year. I will again next year and I can’t wait to use some of your tips to help my veggies grow even better.
Your sundress looks so comfy and cool to work in. I giggled when you jumped getting sprayed on your back. 😂
I was planning on going to Iowa next weekend for the festival just so I could get to meet you and listen to your talks. Touring the hatchery and shopping for chicks would have been fun too. I had to cancel my plans because my modular home is going to be set this week, but I don’t know what day. Maybe next year I’ll be able to get away for a weekend and go if you’ll be speaking at it again.
I could talk about my dairy cows way past the acceptable point of time too so we’ll see how long we can keep each other talking 😂
Thank you for another great video and I’ll be listening to this one several times this week while I’m working on my farm. Have a wonderful time at the festival next weekend and I’ll look forward to trying to go next year. Take care. 🧡 Lorie 😊
Your garden is just so lovely! When you spend so much time and energy caring for it, it deserves to be shown. Truely a blessing!
I'm with you Ruthann, it's never about the money, but your values as a gardener. I've argued with farmers while at work on lunch breaks that they believe what their sales reps are telling them that the "herbicide do not affect the plants much less the end result of the crop. They think there is no difference between organic or non-gmo while some of that may or may not be true the end results is that we should not be affected by other people's choices. Love your channel, thank you for all your wisdom.
No "humoring" needed Ruthann, I love your garden videos! Thank you.
I love that you are teaching your children critical thinking, problem solving, and responsibilities. So many parents in the last 15-20 plus years have not. It's even worse now with small children 😢😢.
I had issues this year with compost - that I bought in bags- being not fully composted. When I up potted them they really struggled. But you are right when I planted them and they started to grow they have recovered.
If you lift up the panel a couple feet then attach to posts, the tomatoes can be supported to a taller height!
I LOVE your garden!! Please keep us updated on the garden. I love watching God's goodness in creating an abundance of food for your family from your hard work. There is nothing more satisfying for me than watching things grow especially food. God is Good All The Time!!
Wow! I completely understand your saying that money has no value to you where your garden is concerned! You broke it down beautifully. They can't give you a year of your family's life back. It amazes me how you're able to do so much and still have time to manage ingredients! ❤
We use cattle panels as well except we put 2 panels parallel about 15” apart. The tomatoes grow up between them with no need for ties or supporting clips on the tomatoes. Great video! Love to see your boys doing the work! Lifetime skills!
Learned many years ago to use fence panels for the tomatoes. Last year we cut the fence in half so much easier to handle. Use zip ties to connect to the post. Cut up old T-shirts for tying. Also use panels for beans. Wait until they start vining to put them up. Raise them up over the beans so they will have extra to grow
I love your gardening, homesteading, cooking,and child rearing videos! You bring me such great information with your experiences. You are so down to earth and real. God has blessed me with a wonderful, honest, caring, and knowledgeable Utube “friend.” Keep up your great work and know you are a very special person! Thank you God for leading me to Ruth Anne’s channel. 🙏
So nice of you. I’m glad you are here.
I so very much enjoy coming along with you to your garden ❤️❤️❤️ I love all your videos whatever you are doing ❤❤❤
You have a beautiful way of raising your children ❤❤❤
Have a blessed and beautiful day 🥰
I enjoy your garden videos as much as I enjoy your cooking videos. There is always something to learn...so don't be afraid to keep them coming! 😊
I am growing my tomatoes on a line of fence too, but I am weaving them through the fence as they grow. It's an experiment. I expect to still have to tie them some.
Best way to tie any plant, or tree; bring both ends of the tie from back of stake or cattle panel, then cross them and bring them to front of plant and then tie. Stops tie from rubbing against plant stem and holds plant well.
What a well rounded video of all your homesteading/ raising kids. So uplifting and educational, thanks so much! ❤
I love garden videos. It’s a part of who you are as a person so don’t ever feel like you can’t show the garden over and over. Harvesting and winter time is more for the indoor stuff lol you’re a great teacher and I enjoy listening to you and learning from you. I really hope your plants pull through. I have a groundhog eating all my cucumber, bean and zucchini plants currently. I’ve replanted all of them 3 times already. I’m going to try one more time because I’m a glutton for punishment lol have a great week and God bless
I love your beautiful garden and the way your helpers pitch in and then receive the reward for their teamwork and good effort . I also completely agree with your straw skepticism and have, for the past few years, begun bagging leaves in the fall and using them as mulch on my garden. My husband runs the mower over them with the mulched attachment and then bags the leaves. Some are placed on the garden in the fall and some are stored until spring. It works well for us and there is no bright burn that can be caused by the sun reflecting up from the bright new straw (if used) and pine shavings if used as mulch. Give it a try.
I love how much you involve your kids - even though I am homesteading after not being raised this way, this is exactly how we raise our kids too. Cattle panels have been more sturdy for us as well for tomatoes!
Good kids! That is a great show of a good mom
RuthAnn, I LOVE all your gardening videos!!! All of your videos in general, but especially the gardening videos this time of year. They inspire me to keep working in my own garden. 💕
Spent 4 days traveling in your beautiful state several days ago, you are blessed❗️
You are right on all fronts❗️👍🏼✝️🙏🏼
So happy for you that your garden is recovering! It's so frustrating to put all that work into a garden and then have something like that happen. I've had quite a struggle with bugs and animals helping themselves to my seedlings. I have had to re-plant several veggies 3 to 4 times!
Happy Saturday. ❤ I do look forward to seeing your videos every week. I learn alot from you. I wish I could have known you a long time ago when I was younger. Now at 67 I am still learning though! I try to gently pass some of the things I learn to my daughter who has my 2 beautiful grandchildren. They are almost 12 and 7 1/2 😊.
She listens and I love explaining the age work- play ratio you mentioned. ❤
I hope I never get too old to learn new things 🙏💝. I love, love, love your garden videos. I learn alot! I only have raised beds and pots and one little section of ground to plant in living in my little garden apartment, but it’s amazing how much I can grow! I just keep adding more and more😂. I’m about out of room! For 2 years I’ve been growing garlic for the first time and it’s so satisfying. Last year I tried potatoes in a 10 gallon bag, I planted 4 Kennebec seed potatoes and grew 15 pounds of potatoes!! I was so surprised and excited!! ( kennebec are my favorite) This year I have a 20 gallon bag and there’s 8 seed potatoes! I can’t wait to see how many I get! I grew 2 pots of white half runner beans because they are my favorite! I had so many beans that I was able to can 7 quarts!! This year I have stagger planted them and hope to get more 😊. I use my precious ground space for tomatoes 🍅 ❤. I can put in 4 plants. I have 3 more plants in pots and last year I canned 7 quarts of just tomatoes and make several pints of salsa. I buy more tomatoes and beans to supplement mine, but it’s so satisfying to me to grow and eat the ones I grow.
I have 3 types of peppers growing too. I love your garden videos. Growing things is my passion and my happy place! Thank you for sharing yours. 👩🌾💚
May God continue to bless you and your family and lord, please bless Ruth Anne’s tomatoes 😊🙏
I love seeing your garden!!! Please show it again soon. GOOD FOR YOU your reasons for gardening and doing the safest you feel to do it!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessing to you and your family.
So happy to see your garden recovering somewhat. Continuing to pray. Val C ❤️
Oh but I'll accompany you to your garden every day. Don't you worry! Love posts like this.
Thanks for bringing attention to the dangers of herbicides and pesticides. Sorry you had to endure and praying all your efforts heal your plants.
You are you first one to properly explain so I could understand the difference between mulch and compost. Thank you! I learned so much from that video.
We've been using cattle panels for our tomatoes the last three years. Huge difference from the wobbly cages. We now use the cages for our peppers. So easy to attach our tomatoes using Dallar Tree garden clips.
You never ramble, enjoy all your video’s, and common sense and kindness. Thanks for sharing. God bless
These children are so smart, beautiful, and extremely capable! ❤
Love, love what your teaching the boys. ❤ Cattle panels and hog panels used to be the way to do just a out everything for the garden. Especially vining plants like beans. Now, they are so expensive, that if you dont already have them, it's to expensive for starting a new garden. Just 4 years ago they cost from $14 to $18 each, depending on length. Its crazy how much the price has gone up. They are $34 to $40 each now. Some places, they cost more. For tiing them up, I made a bunch of small straps from some old worn out Jean's, and added a velcro to them. I made various sizes, so I can always find the size needed.
That’s a great idea!!!
I am so glad I found your channel! You are so easy to understand by not speeding through. You are great at explaining the processes which is most helpful. Also, I love seeing everyone in their bare feet in the garden too. That’s just awesome! Keep up the great work!
Your garden episodes are my favorites! You have created a space that is both beautiful and useful.
Your boys have been taught amazing work ethic by both you and Elvin. Love seeing that. Keep up the great work!
So sorry your fence posts were stolen. I am glad we haven’t had that problem. We have a cooler of eggs back a little bit from the road (long drive) and have never had anything stolen. You are blessed with helpers. Our tomatoes are tied up on a similar system. I want to have control over my food.
Love being in the garden with you and the boys.
I love your garden…and seeing the improvement in your tomato patch.and the boys are really good helpers..and got a well deserved splash in the pool. My garden is almost a washout this summer…hoping the potatoes do well! Fingers crossed! Xx
I love your rambling… you can ramble and share any time because I learn so much …. Ramble On!
Great video. Thanks. Just love your garden ramblings. I learn alot.
I enjoy strolling the garden with you, it is so pretty and represents a lot of hard work.
LOVED your rambling. ❤
Have been desperately looking for land to farm. Your channel is such an inspirational blessing.
Thank you, RA🙏
I have learned so much and appreciate seeing your diligence in combatting this problem. I would be tempted to cry and stomp. 😅 you handled this so beautifully!
I greatly enjoy being in your garden with you. My dad always used chicken manure in our vegetable garden. It worked great and was easier to manage than cow manure. Just a thought. Lord bless you and your hard work.
I love your garden videos! Love all the rest too, but the garden ones are my favs ☺ So frustrating having your plants contaminated! Hopefully the farmers uses common sense, decency and is a good neighbour from here on in. Happy gardening! Lo9k forward to the next one!
WE LOVE GARDEN EPISODES!!!! You r so knowledgeable and pass us such great information!!! Ty for sharing
1/4 cup Unsulphured blackstrap molasses dissolved in each gallon of water and fed or sprayed (spraying gets it in the plant quickly) on your plants might be helpful!
Molasses is high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, and other micronutrients. These readily available nutrients act as a quick fertilizer for plants. The sugar in molasses is a food source for beneficial microorganisms found in soil. Healthy soil leads to healthy plants.
Use once or twice a week put molasses in your compost pile too!
Love your channel. It is such a joy watching your boys helping their mom.
THANK YOU for sharing,,, you just answered my question about MY tomato plants here in florida! Also, I appreciate seeing you and your family (I particularly love the way you engage your children in what you're doing)!! You are adorable ❤️
I’m new to your channel and I’m loving it!! You are a wonderful woman, wife and mama. Please keep doing what you’re doing… We’re all enjoying it!
I love your garden. Next year I finally get to have a garden. I'm so excited.
Wonderful!
The garden is beautiful, its been dry here' Im going to have to plant some things later and see what happens, love your channel!
I watched a channel where a man uses really old hay that's sat out in the weather for several years to garden in. He said that after several years whatever has been sprayed on it has since been washed away. The channel name is Breaking New Roots. Name of video is He mastered the art of easy vegetable farming. Hope you can find what you need to help!
Thank you for your wisdom & willingness to share how you approach challenges! Love your insight on raising children & agree responsibility is so important in developing confidence & troubleshooting skills .
your gardening videos are fabulous...and we all tend to have some issues with neighbors who just dont think the same way we might...but it sounds like youre extremely smart about it and caring and know how to use your words properly...my neighbor ...uses POISON because he doesnt ike the small varmits like kangaroo rats, mice , even jack rabbits( can you imagine...) and hes not growing any edibles...just a few trees and plants..not even cutting flowers etc...
I enjoy both your garden and your kitchen videos. Keep doing what you are doing. God Bless.
I love your videos! Yes, children need a balance of chores & play. That’s why kids get in trouble more in today’s society. We have drift issues here as well, that’s why my garden is small because it’s planted in the only protected area. We have an organic farmer across the road but the one around our property is not & they spray a lot & on windy days..
❤❤ this video! I grew up on a large farm and my Mom and Dad always had a big garden. This has been so informational about herbicides and blow over from another farm. I still live on our family farm and have been strongly considering starting a garden. There is so much more to think about now than 50 years ago. I am 60 now and am just not well versed in all the awful things that can happen to our gardens now. I love your videos and your family is just precious! Thank you for all you do! ❤
I used straw under my strawberries and lo and behold it was a horrible experience and my plants were stunted. Within a few weeks after removing the straw and adding fresh compost my plants started growing and producing and I had the best crop yet. I did decide I will be moving my strawberries to a different bed and put peas or beans in where the strawberries used to be to try to help recover my soil to an organic state.
Love your channel! I have learned so much. I grew up in PA so I am accustomed to the Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, which is similar to your cooking! RALLY GREAT FOOD!!😊
You have such a beautiful garden! Praise the Lord!
Love the videos and information you share with us. I sure wish I had the guidance you're passing on to your children, but I am so grateful to you for so selflessly sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you!
I really enjoyed your garden videos. Keep doing them. Very inspiring.
Always A great video and love it when unare in the garden and every where else u take us❤ thanks RuthAnn!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You feed your family well, emotionally, spirituality and physically. ❤❤❤
I know this is silly, but I'd love to know where you get your dresses. That's the perfect outfit to work in the garden in. So cool.
I use this year for my mulch in my garden is the Fall leaves. I get them from family & friends.
What I don't use for my garden mulch and put in my compose.
What a different it makes.
Good morning Ruthann! I love your videos.
Good morning!
I love all of your gardening advice.
I use cattle panels tied to t-posts for climbing plants like tomatoes and pole beans. And even cucumbers. I would suggest using a upside down 5 gal pail at each end and one more in the middle line of the panel where you sit the panel on above the ground while you tie the panel to the t-posts. This will give your plants an extra amount of height where to grow. After your panels are tied you remove the 5 gal pails. They were only there to hold the panels up higher off the ground while being tied to the t--post.
Bless you and your Family and Thank you for sharing!
Love your channel by the way
Such a big happy family
Thank you for the rambling on and on!! Hearing you think through it is helpful! Knowing the things you’ve tried it just observed and calculation all through the process helps me to think through what we can to improve our gardening skills. I’ve often wished I could just pick a good gardener’s brain 😅
Love all your garden advice!
Lovely taking a walk in your garden, 💜
Thank you for showing and teaching us in all areas of your life! Even the little things you say you're rambling about end up being helpful. You and your family are blessed and a blessing!
Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
You are so welcome!
The boys are such great helpers!!
Your videos are a delight and informative no matter what you do 💗!
I like the panels wavy. It looks pretty. ❤
Good Saturday morning! 👋
Morning!
What wonderful, hard working boys you have there! If you have to buy tomatoes and peppers to make up for what your neighbor ruined, the compensation could come in handy. To stop this from happening in the future, is there any other place on your property where you could locate your garden? You shouldn't have to move it, but if this farmer continues to show disregard for the drift he causes, would it be easier to move it?
My garden is too small for 16' cattle panels but you can buy 4x8' panels which are meant for concrete reinforcement at big box stores.
So very glad you did an update on the garden! I was walking through mine and was thinking about yours and hoping it was getting better. ❤
There is Nothing better than to raise Children on a Farm. Teaches them so much. Hard work, animals and weather just to mention a few. Love your videos. I was born and raised in Iowa City and spent a lot of time on my Grandparents Farm in Hills, Iowa.👍🏻
Love the garden. Keep up the great work.
