    Brian, it was red clover (purple in colour). I picked them and you pull out each flower stem and suck on it. Sweet and delicious. Thank you for the great memory. I haven’t thought about those since I was little.

    I am in my early 60's and have been gardening my entire adult life, I have found the best tool for a large garden on an acreage is a colinear hoe from Lee Valley Tools. The trick to making weeding easy work is to scratch the surface with the hoe when the weeds are just emerging (little) and to do it as often as is necessary. Makes weeding easy and it goes quickly! Doesn't work when the weeds get too big though. Also the top of the soil must be dry, not moist. My favorite hoe and tool, far surpassing all the other hoes I have purchased over the years.

    I miss seeing the pride and joy you normally get from your home garden. I love that you're moving forward with new projects and expansion but sometimes we can spread ourselves too thin. Brian was fishing for that weed pulling "thank you" but Shelly never gave it up, lol! The momma bird keeps her nest clean by picking up babies poop sacks in her beak and dropping them over the side of the nest. Next year just remember to keep cardboard in the area under their nest or something easy to toss in trash or compost. Love your videos and love your love of flowers!

      I def overwhelmed myself this year with the farm… not entirely things within my control but I’m def rethinking and refocusing. I miss my garden being a place of joy when I get home… this year they just look like more places I need to get stuff done in! lol I’ll get back there. A little tweaking and focus… won’t hurt. 😅

      I want it because of her
      Too!!!! But I didn’t manage to get my hands on any this year..
      it’s so beautiful in her garden. My favorite part is the dark foliage against the flowers.. so pretty!

    I love you guys! Can we see the bouquets once they’re put together?? & what did you do with bricks & molases?? & why wasn’t it filmed? Shelly, we need to learn from you my darling! I know you two are both busy af but more content = more views.
    I would love to see what you did with your dahlias and bricks and molases… 🤔
    Not to mention I would love watching you two more than once a week.. but hey, who am I? Just a long-time, loyal viewer!!! & we also haven’t seen any of your clients gardens this year either.. I know Bryan films and you are all about your business- whether it be work, the farm, the kids garden, your kids…you work. That’s what you do but I would encourage you to think of me and mic up, set up a tripod and camera & do your work! Bryan, you can edit it later. Diversify!
    What am I even saying? I can’t seem to dead head a single thing or finish mulching ONE of my flower beds! 😒🙄🤦🏼‍♀️
    I’ll watch what ever you put out tho because I like you both and I think you deserve it! Hope y’all had a great 4th & look forward to the next video!! 😊♥️

    The snake family was neat. The heat has been relentless for us, and after all that spring rain, we are close to getting dry again here in Kentucky.

      We had relentless rain with the high heat and now we’re drying out quite a bit. There was rain in the forecast all week and we got nothing… now I’m kinda hoping for some!

    I don't know if you've heard of Susan Mulvihill, but one of her garden tips is my all-time favorite: installed mailboxes out in the garden. And not just one! Inside the box: garden hand tools. Whatcha think?! 🤗 #BlessYourGarden

    That root joke and bird flu comment made me lmao! Barn swallows made a mud nest under my porch door then abandoned it be cause of all the going in and out . I’m a New Yorker and love your guys spunk ! I understand all it’s awesome to want to take on so much and try and grow everything we can . New York has varied zones. My zone is 7 . I have grown just about anything I can and believe me the experience is worth it by the labor keeping up not so after awhile. When I go in my garden no after creating it on a canvas of dirt 9 years ago, my heart sings with joy because I finally made my dream come true!!!!

    • @GuidingGreenThumbs

      THIS!! ❤️ Thanks for your comment. We actually went from 5b to 6a although I’m not convinced lol. I do love looking back on where we started and where our gardens are now. It fuels me even in frustrating years like this one!

      Talk about frustration. I spent almost 9 grand on front fence ( to connect to my both neighbors side fences literally saving me tons of money) . No deer damage finally and my day lillies and hydrangeas are finally blooming …… but groundhogs decided to move in rent free under the porches eating all my coneflowers , self seeded petunias and veges. I told my husband ( his name is Brian too, not a painter lol but a steam fitter). I blamed him because he never bordered the porch bottoms. It is what it is.🤣

    How do you deal with slugs? I have a small garden but a large population of slugs. So far, what works is night slug hunting. But then i become a feast for mosquitos.

      I agree, beer! I don’t have too many issues with tremendous damage by slugs but I have used the beer trick and it works like a charm.

    Do you compost all the weeds pulled? Can you comment on that.

      I do! We are building a massive pile for use in years to come.

    IMO, the Kid Camp needs to be handed over to someone else, so you focus on selling the "fruits" of your farm to sustain your farm and then be able to quit your full-time job.

      I know… it’s definitely a time taker… I need to adjust a few commitments… I can’t do it all. This year made things very clear and I’ve got to refocus.

    Brian needs to put a fence around your acreage at home and your farm, like the fence at the children's garden, to keep the deer out. Get to work Brian! ...always standing around doing nothing. LOL
