  • Welcome to my vlog channel and thank you so much for watching! I've been wanting to make a raised bed and grow fruits and vegetables in my garden...and finally did it! A lot of our neighbors are farmers and they give us vegetables they grow all the time so I'm hoping I can give my fruits and vegetables back soon!

      Looking forward to seeing your first harvest 😁Please make sure you get bird/animal safe netting!!
      It is very sad seeing birds and other creatures getting tangled, hurt and killed by the wrong kinds of netting being used

      Thank you for the video.
      It's allways amazing to see, just how much effort goes into these projects.
      I feel like a lazy person, my appartment doesn't get much sunlight and while I want to grow flowers and such, there isn't much that I can do here. 😭
      It's just my opinion, but I think, just using the vegetables your neighbors give you, is already something you "give back". If I would grow more, than I can use and sell, I would be happy to know, that it's not going to waste. There is only so much you can use yourself after all. Seeing vegetable becoming bad, is rather sad. And knowing that the person I give those vegetables to, is a good cook, would make me rather proud.
      And who knows, maybe they saw some of your videos and enjoyed the recipes you shared?😊
      I can understand your view too, that you want to give something tangible back. Well, give it time, I'm sure it will come. (I really need to start to listen to my own advice... I'm rather impatient over something and need to wait too 🙃 I'm a lot less graceful about it, than you. I'm just glad, that noone seems angry about it)
      The rised bed looks great. No wonder Haku likes it.
      Well, I wish you a great harvest. 🥰
      Lots of love from europe🤗

      I know the struggle of getting produce from neighbors and not knowing how to repay them, lol! I had a neighbor at my previous apartment who worked at a food bank and sometimes gave us fruits that the bank still had. I once turned some plums she gave into a plum cobbler. I had never made a plum cobbler before, only a cherry cobbler, but the ones she gave us were so sour, I figured baking them was probably the best use for them. I gave her a large plate of it and hope she enjoyed it. It tasted better on day two and beyond, once it sat in the syrup and became sweeter.

    I've had the pink lemonade blueberries before, they don't taste lemonade-y per se, but they do have a sweet-tart flavor with a hint of lemon? They're really good! Hopefully your bush does well and you can try them for yourself 😄 Good to see the bed frame is Haku approved, too.

    I love that you built your beds! Just a suggestion for the future: Peat moss is a non-renewable resource and you could use multiple other materials like coconut coir, mulch/wood-based products, compost, pine needles, rice hulls, or leaf mold.

And i do included things like cat friendly house, big window for a lot of natural light, wooden interior and also lots of plants in the garden/yard.
    So, thank you Jun and Rachel😊😊

    That looks amazing Jun! Please give us an update as to how things grow! Highly recommend feeding those peppers ocean mix fertilizer once they start producing every 6 weeks or so. Also, since Rachel loves peppers, maybe dry them to make spices or ferment to make your own hot sauce? Super easy and delicious!

It worked for our blueberries and red currant, which i could also recommend if you wanna share some fruits with your neighbors. They yield so many fruit!

    Oh, and blueberries LOVE WELL DRAINING SOIL so you might have to keep an eye on how much water they get where you've put them. Ideal place for them is on the side of a hill, but second to that is a somewhat rocky place, and not having that around, little watering sessions many times over one big soak and they do well, they do love water, they just don't want it all at once like that too often.

    I am growing a garden for the first time this year. ❤️ I have a Japanese cucumber that taken off, and is producing like crazy. There are so many tiny cucumbers. I originally had it in a pot, but recently got a raised bed and large trellis for it. Earwigs have been nibbling on most of my plants (my poor peppermint especially), but this one seems to be surviving okay. I'm so excited! I love how the plants respond to love and care, and have their preferences. The Japanese cucumber apparently does not like water on its leaves, as it wilts when it's watered from above. So I bought a wand to water at its roots. 😊 I'm looking forward to your future videos and seeing your garden flourish. I hope you have a great harvest!

    Would you do a box to grow different rose plants? Decades ago all roses smelled like roses, very very nice. Recent years it is not easy to find roses sold as cut flowers that have any pleasant rose scent at all. This has occured in the US. I guess the heirloom roses that smell like roses are not grown for cut flowers to be sold. Growers prefer newer rose breeds that grow easy but lack rose scent. Generally all roses are quite easy to grow, in my opinion, and year after year are reliable with abundant blooms. I can imagine a walk in your yard with the scent of rose, and cutting flowers to adorn and scent the living space if desired. If you decide to grow roses, be sure it is the true scented rose.
    You are so talented and skilled. Thanks for sharing the videos, the work is interesting to watch. And the projects are enviable, as most people would want to attempt. I also like the fish tank with the driftwood tree. The cat tree made from driftwood years back is also very nice, and the cats like it.

    sweet peas, tomatoes and lots of lettuce types are also very easy to grow. I got some sweet peas, forgot the seeds in winter outside, they rained on and actually sprouted in the pot filled with water from the rain and snow, just dunked them in thr ground, planted them 10 to 15cm apart and now its just one ginormous bush of individual plants hanging on to each other (cuz they're crawlers, they sprout those little entangling branches that hold on to everything for their dear life) They really took off around April/May and are now about 40cm from being seeded in March. Idk the specifics like ph value of them but used veggie soil I could buy here locally. Also use eggshell powder and coffee leftover, but be careful with the last one because it can easily spoil and that's kinda bad. just put some in a little hole close to the roots. The sweetpeas are actually giving a ton of harvest despite it being their first year. Hope your harvest is also bountiful, but those bushes may take up to 3 year before they give plenty of blue berries as they're in their growth stage. Also strawberries is something everyone loves and enjoys.

    the birds at 2:35 activated my Need to Bird ID since there was no label, but all i could really get from the call is that they're raptors. so i imported the sound to Merlin and they think it's a black kite; the soundbite was similar but i noticed it was from India, so i thought perhaps there is a subspecies in Japan with a different call accent. and yea!! black-eared black kite (Milvus migrans lineatus), and its soundbites are closer to the calls in the video!
