Kelly, I would love nothing more than to spend a day with you and your humor. This video made made laugh, and also made me feel better because despite being on year 3 of trying to garden, I still have so much to learn!! Always next year :) Also I totally just named one of my chickens Ninja yesterday, because somehow it keeps getting into the garden area lol. Your garden looks amazing!! Let me know if you're interested in Silver Fox or Creme d'argents when you're ready to get the rabbitry started up again :)
Great garden there. A little trick that I tried last year on tomatoes. As you check your garden out drinking coffee in the morning. Flick the tomato flowers around. This will help with pollination, since they have both male and female parts in the same flower. I read about it online. Insects and wind will pollinate them, but I found out that flicking them improved the amount of tomatoes drastically. I wasn't having much success in the beginning until I started doing that every time I went outside driking some tea. Hope the best from your garden. God Bless! Keep the videos coming. Please, more rabbit videos lol
Great job. Gardening can be so rewarding especially when you compost and start to see volunteers coming up. They are the real survivors. I planted cherry tomatoes a few years ago and ever since then the volunteers have come up and supplied my family and many of our friends with tomatoes. I now have so many tomatoes in summer that I freeze them and use them all winter. How good is that. I love your humour Kelly. Your video made my day. I hope you keep going with your garden videos. From Victoria, Australia.
Great first garden tour! Pro tip for the cucumber lovers- They love being companion planted with sunflowers! They can use the sunflower to climb, but what is even cooler is how they improve the flavor. An even sweeter cucumber!
This is so relatable!!! I love that you're telling the whole story without being fake. This is super inspiring and very cool! Thanks for taking the time to share! :) And yes, that is a verrrry rude rooster. ;)
Yes, please more garden tours. I love to see your journey. I think it is helpful for people to see beginning gardens and gardeners. Some of us have grown veggies since we were toddlers. It was just a way of life, but others this is new. They need to see the fails and successes.
"I planted them exactly according to the instructions for pole beans. and they are bush beans, not pole beans." 🤣🤣 this is something I would definitely do.
If you take a cotton swab and rub it across the tomato flowers you will get a higher yield of tomatoes, and the more water they receive the plumper they will be. You can also plant your strawberries in hanging baskets. They do really well as a hanging garden plant. I recommend planting some petite marigolds throughout the garden, especially by the tomatoes. They will draw in the pollinators and they help to control some of the harmful bugs, like cut worms. Your garden is looking wonderful for this part of the season.
§ Yes -- gardening videos are a great way to branch out! #ba_dum_tcch A series would be a brilliant idea. § A couple of quick thoughts... -Tomatoes: There are tomato cages you can get from various retailers at very reasonable prices (think chain hardware stores), but if you like the way the tomato plants climb on the fence, consider putting a length of fence in the _centre_ of the enclosure and have the tomatoes climb that. Then they're out of the chickens' reach. - Zucchini: I've probably told y'all the story, but years ago Dad put in his first batch of zucchini. He wanted to make sure he had enough (he really likes them), so he put in thirty-six (36!!!) plants. That summer, anyone and everyone who showed even the slightest interest in zucchini got a paper grocery sack overflowing with them!
I love your sense of humor. I'm just starting my first garden a lot of weeds LOL, but I simply love getting it all built. Then I want some rabbits. No one is perfect we all learn, continue to make videos. I enjoy watching all your videos.
This is so helpful to see the beginnings of a garden for people who lac vision to get started like me. I have a garden now but how to start can be difficult. I love seeing your success but appreciate your fails as they are really helpful too!
I love the attitude. I'm just starting my first garden and I am overwhelmed with anticipation. Success or failure I simply love getting it all built. We shall find out what we can do in North Idaho.
I sure enjoyed your video, Kelly. I'll second Teal Stone Homestead, I love your humor! But you're learning and sharing! Woo Hoo! One day I hope to at least have more than one duck to enjoy!
Strawberries are something we wish we would have started this year (first year on our homestead). Next spring for sure! Your garden is looking beautiful!
Your garden is coming along beautifully. Well done!!! By the way, if your cucumbers grow well, you may be surprised at just how many cucumbers you will harvest from just a few plants.
You need to feed fish emulsion, and a fertilizer with nitrogen, 5/2/2 or something similar, no more than nitrogen 5 .. to start small doses of fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, will feed and fix the yellowing leaves..
Yeah we would like to see more garden tours and updates. We live in city and dreaming about starting homestead.. we built our garden in our backyard and front yard and we are trying to see how much food we can grow. Good luck with your garden and definitely film more :-) Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪😀
Don’t get upset when it takes your Luffas a long time to form you actually will not be able to harvest them until they are completely brown in the late fall and they are very easy to peel at that point💚🌱💚
@@BetterTogetherLife I’ve got two raised beds growing pretty well right now! There’s tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, garlic, echinacea, sunflowers, peas ... it’s really magical 😁 I hope to work my way up to a larger garden one day ☺️ maybe if you have time you could check out my gardening videos 😘😘✌🏼✨ thanks for being a positive inspiration for tiny gardeners like myself ✨
Hey, Tomatoes love egg shells :) in fact, any bad eggs burry with a plant that needs some oooompf. Odd thing i learned this year. Also wood ash is great to help build your soil! Your garden though is looking great!
Oh YES!!! We love making and using biochar in the garden. We of course inoculate it under our rabbit hutch for about 3-6 months to really CHARGE IT!! Super cool! We will have to try the egg shell trick. 👍🏻👍🏻
Also, I am doing luffah, too! I'm so excited to see if it works way up north 😁 the vines are supposed to be gigantic, so I'm trying an archway for mine 💚
I have always let the strawberry grow even in year 1. And we started with 6 plants and now there is about 5times as much and I do not let the runners grow big. If I can help it.
Strawberries' second year is when it starts its true productivity. No point in plucking the first year strawberries...they make no real difference for the following year. You only get a few blossoms anyways...might as well enjoy a couple strawberries 🍓
Don't pluck the strawberry blossoms the first year. Believe me strawberries are beasts and will root and spread and take over no matter what you do. The first year I ever planted strawberries it took me too long to get them in the ground and all but like 5 plants died and I just ignored that area of my yard for a couple years and the darn things grew from 5 uncared for plants to a 30'x30' plot that we had to till rows into so that we could pick them.

I will DEFINITELY talk rabbits with you when we’re ready! My garden door is open for you to come visit. We can swap notes ❤️-kelly
I too belive that every garden needs a coffee mug holder🙌🏻

Now THAT IS a great tip!!! Thank you!!!
Love the garden update! I never worry about nipping the 1st year blossoms on strawberry plants. I think that is an old wives tale.
This is so relatable!!! I love that you're telling the whole story without being fake. This is super inspiring and very cool! Thanks for taking the time to share! :) And yes, that is a verrrry rude rooster. ;)
You noticed him too! Glad you’re here, Heather!

I loved ur garden video. U r doing a great job.
I love the attitude. I'm just starting my first garden and I am overwhelmed with anticipation. Success or failure I simply love getting it all built. We shall find out what we can do in North Idaho.
It does feel like a lot of hurry up and wait. Then all of a sudden they boom in growth.
Sulfer is really good for keeping bugs away. Snakes don't like it rather. Burns they're bellys
Awesome video, Kelly! You two both did an excellent job... thanks fir showing the good, the bad and the ugly. It’s inspiring to new gardeners.
I’m SO glad you enjoyed it. Looks like we’ll be doing more!
Blessings to all!
The level of excitement! A lot of the berries will just keep sprawling and will take over everything 😂
Sooooo excited!
I definitely learned some things. And those strawberries!! My favorite!
Just found you today and I totally liked your garden tour!!
Thanks for being here, Stephanie!
How am I just discovering your channel😍 happy planting from here in central Tennessee!
So glad you’re here, Renee!
I sure enjoyed your video, Kelly. I'll second Teal Stone Homestead, I love your humor! But you're learning and sharing! Woo Hoo! One day I hope to at least have more than one duck to enjoy!
Tammy! Thanks for being here ❤️
Strawberries are something we wish we would have started this year (first year on our homestead). Next spring for sure! Your garden is looking beautiful!

Your garden is coming along beautifully. Well done!!! By the way, if your cucumbers grow well, you may be surprised at just how many cucumbers you will harvest from just a few plants.
I hope so!
Huge change from last season! Great job!! Can't wait to see it mature over the years to come
You’re right! It’s SUCH a change!
Thanks Kelly. Nice job! I will look forward for more gardening videos in the future. Your Loyal Fan & Subscriber, Art in Calif.
Beautiful garden. I cant wait to expand mine 😁
Im excited for you too!
You need to feed fish emulsion, and a fertilizer with nitrogen, 5/2/2 or something similar, no more than nitrogen 5 .. to start small doses of fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, will feed and fix the yellowing leaves..

That is so exciting!
@@BetterTogetherLife yeah I wish I found someone like you here in Ireland :-)
Very cool
Build an arch for your cucumbers!!
We might! Good idea!
Don’t get upset when it takes your Luffas a long time to form you actually will not be able to harvest them until they are completely brown in the late fall and they are very easy to peel at that point💚🌱💚
Beautiful garden ❤️
Oh THANK YOU!!!!!!
I vote for garden tour 😍
Yay! It looks like we have a consensus!
Loved the tour keep it up 👍
Lovely!
I dream of a garden like this someday 🤩
Start with one thing this summer. Something you love to eat and can grow in your area!
@@BetterTogetherLife I’ve got two raised beds growing pretty well right now! There’s tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, garlic, echinacea, sunflowers, peas ... it’s really magical 😁 I hope to work my way up to a larger garden one day ☺️ maybe if you have time you could check out my gardening videos 😘😘✌🏼✨ thanks for being a positive inspiration for tiny gardeners like myself ✨
Loved the garden tour ..!!
Yay! I’m so glad!
Those are called strawberry runners. I would put them in their own bed. We have 3 strawberry🍓 beds, and I love to make jam! ❤️✌🏻
I know right?!?? We had no idea! Evidently this bed is now..... THE strawberry bed! Yikes!!
But hey it’s a good problem to have!
Homemade strawberry jam is THE BEST!
Great Job
Love to see more garden tours, mine is evolving big time this year to make it easier on me. Thanks till next time.
The people have spoken! We are definitely going to keep you posted on all the growing 🎉
Cabbage, carrots and radishes need to be planted very early in the spring, because they do not like hot weather.
Garden tour is amazing. Strawberry octopus 🐙🐙🐙
😂😂
Hey,
Tomatoes love egg shells :) in fact, any bad eggs burry with a plant that needs some oooompf. Odd thing i learned this year. Also wood ash is great to help build your soil!

Oh YES!!! We love making and using biochar in the garden. We of course inoculate it under our rabbit hutch for about 3-6 months to really CHARGE IT!!
Super cool! We will have to try the egg shell trick. 👍🏻👍🏻
i was only able to grown black eyed peas this year and they produced a lot!
Yay!!! That’s amazing!!!
You should watch the back to eden video. It could help you have more success with your inground area then you already have.
So, I just learned this year... Radishes don't like fertile soil! So crazy... My first attempt at radishes was a fail because I didn't know that. Lol
Great job!
Im struggle with tomatoes tooo. I will be proud if i got one of them really fruiting
I hope it goes well! Side update: since the temps went up here, we are finally seeing some fruit!
This was so fun 😊
Also, I am doing luffah, too! I'm so excited to see if it works way up north 😁 the vines are supposed to be gigantic, so I'm trying an archway for mine 💚
WTGROW ~ Looks Great & Yummy❣️ 😋
Thanks as always Candy!!
Small world, I found out you know my dear friends the Jarvis family!
love your videos! we just bought a couple of Acres near lake conroe - we plan on doing a garden and raising chickens too :) keep the vids coming!
I have always let the strawberry grow even in year 1. And we started with 6 plants and now there is about 5times as much and I do not let the runners grow big. If I can help it.
Post almost everyday if you can ill watch it
Strawberries' second year is when it starts its true productivity. No point in plucking the first year strawberries...they make no real difference for the following year. You only get a few blossoms anyways...might as well enjoy a couple strawberries 🍓
Those tomatoes need pruning. You’ll get much better yield. 😊

That’s so cool!
I'm in year one gardening too
Yay!
Give your passion fruit some fertilizer it needs nutrients until you decide where to plant it
Yes we do need to do that. Thank you for reminding us Heidi! 😁
Glad to be your 667th like! Haha! 666 no good! 😂😂😂 Happy Gardening!
Hahahaha, well THANK YOU for being #667!!! 🤣
