@@Latebloomershow Yes, I saw the bug also Kaye did you find it? What was it? Also I didn’t see the link to the CA video with parrots and sunflowers 🤷🏽♀️
Hello Miss Kaye... I am not too far from you in western Kentucky. I am 56 and my husband and I bought an Amish farm this year. The farm came with two very large garden spaces as per normal for the Amish communities. We started an orchard in the larger one and I am tripping and stumbling through the gardent with an abundance of onions, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, radishes, green beans.... It's A LOT for my little brain and the heat is a killer lol. I enjoy watching your videos so much. Thank you! Beth
Wow!! You hit the jackpot. When they decide to move out, if you are in the right place, it's the right time to take that leap. Glad you have such abundance. Would love to visit. October I'll be headed up to Flemingsburg, but that might be too late to see your garden.
Hello dear kaye, im watching again earlier Tuesday morning, i was not feeling great yesterday couldn't focus on my screen so had to watch this morning. Whaw kaye some days your property seems even bigger than the day before. I have to say i am so proud of you,how much very hard work you have done there, you really are a credit to us all,persevering through sometimes very tough days and weathers,creatures ,bugs,water water ect ect,whow, definitely proud about mr snake, living happily on your property, i hope he will be helpful to you since you have been so kind to be brave and let him stay.?kaye thst is brave, i really not sure how i would feel..hmmm!.x.its so good to see you,im extra glad that you still have your young helper, i really am pleased,.kaye its amazing watching the ground where your wild garden, the changes coming and going so fast.you zre such a hero, when you have some good things ready for harvest ing its lovely to see the glee on your face as you grab something and take a bite. Makes all your hard work and the waiting and tending all worth the while 😊.lovely film once again, thankyou so much, love and take care to you and your lovely cats.from me and my garden girls 🐔. Xx
Thank you, Hetty! I just got in from filming part 2 and was drenched to the skin, had to strip and shower. It will probably be tomorrow I publish part 2. It's going to take a few hours to edit.
Hi Kaye, Thanks for asking. We are ok🙏. No flooding here. I just launched my tiny UA-cam channel Palazzo Place, and I plan to expand the content with tropical gardening stories and travels along the east coast. I hope we can meet someday💖
How fun to watch your old sunflowers videos. When I lived in So Cal, I raised parrots, including Nanday Conures. I can see where wild parrots would be a problem in the garden.
Thank you for part 1 of garden tour....I like seeing what youv'e got growing, and always like seeing the kitties. Non poisionous snakes are good to have...of course, I feel the same way about wasps...good to have as long as they are not near me....got chased into my house and repeatedly stung by 2 yellow jackets several years ago....southern yellow jackets do sting repeatedly...very aggressive. Your gardens look great...y'all get a decent amnt of rain. I look forward to part 2. ❤🐱🐱🐱❤🤠❤
The lower garden is stunning! Our gardens are smaller this year with both of us working full time, but we've been harvesting lots of peas, lettuce and raspberries.
@Latebloomershow So sorry to hear this. Oh, the trials and tribulations of organic gardening. I don't remember, but did you contact your local Extension Service last year on prevention/organic treatment?
Coming soon! Just came in from shooting, drenched! I'll wait till tomorrow to publish as it's going to take a few hours to edit, and I really need more views on Part 1 to justify the effort. Please share. Thank you!
Looking great ! The overwintered, pepper plant is thriving, loving the lower corn plot as well.. My flour corn is doing great although a huge raccoon got about a third of my ears the other night! 😢 I had to wait in ambush, but I took care of the problem.. , finally after the second night at Valleroy’s free buffet ! Although should still have a good harvest..
I haven't geared up for prepping for raccoons. I have to go away in a week. Not sure if I will have ears big enough to attract coons by the time I get back.
That's a lot of progress Kaye .. I have cut way back.. I am real busy picking berries( about20 kinds) I just picked up a bucket of my Antique Strawberry apples (SAge got a bucket too ) . I think the tree came from Jeff Poppen back when he sold fruit trees. I am grateful for my irrigation system .I finally got my tiller fixed and hope to get sod tilled in and get it planted with the Sweet Luck corn . What you call crab grass I always called Wire Grass. I have grown luffa from Nichols rare seed in Oregon for over 50 years .. the seed does stay viable a long time .I have grown butternut for over 45 years here too ..I am grateful to not have deer or aphid issues here but do have wild bunnies ...
That's wonderful, Sharon. I'd like to get back up there, but I just don't/can't travel like I used to, nor do I want to be gone. I am traveling next week and God willing I'll be back here back at it a week later.
@@Latebloomershow I get it I rarely get even to Delmar 3 miles from here nor want to leave my little garden of Eden . As you know ,many black snakes live here in the walls of the sheds and I compete with them in collecting the eggs . I did read they eliminate venomous snakes .Today I am having the chimney cleaned and in the evening it's duck harvesting-- a busy day .Did you think raising the potatoes the "Ruth Stout" method was NO WORK? I have 2 boxes of landscape pins that work great to pin down fabrics . I still have no help and my tiller finally fixed. I have one chest freezer full of about 20 kinds of berries . We call that wire grass not crab grass . It's a really issue here on the sandy soil buy I have very little here NO problem with deer here but wild rabbits are an issue. I use weeds to build compost here ..
Wow you have been busy. I struggle with weeds also. I always walk with a bucket and if I see them I pick a weed. Lots of food in your plots. Why not spray perimeter of gardens with captain jacks weed brew?
Awesome looking garden. Let me know when that sweet corn gets ripe - I'll come right over. When do you intend to divulge just how many clones of yourself are helping you out?
Some sun some water, plants love it. Your raised beds keep the plants from getting flooded. I'm going to try planting Castor beans as a border to see if they slow the deer down. I hear is tastes bad (as well as being really dangerous if you pet or you try eating it). Starting with a few feet of them by the driveway, see what if anything eats it ( I have cameras on the driveway). I suspect it's like Rhubarb, bad to eat the leaves, eat enough you can get really sick or worse) so nothing tries to eat the leaves.
Darrell would know. He used to grow quite a few. Had me try it once, but I planted it where it didn't get watered and it didn't survive. I have such a big area, it wouldn't be possible to use it as a deterrent. they are impressive looking. You will see them in the early videos of Darrell's garden.
Glad things are going so well for you this season after so much effort. Seems new infrastructure is needed every time you turn around, but it's paying off. Rhizomes all seem to be going Crazy. You might consider Wild Strawberries as ground cover instead of persistent crabgrass. Might keep deer etc busy. You cd try laying down hardware cloth, then tarp, then amended soil for terraces. Test for soil pH etc & see if this solves most of it? Best Wishes. 🤕🎯😎
Is there a reason why you don’t have raised beds ? It would keep crabgrass out and it so much easier on your back. You don’t need those expensive Vega beds. Just wood.
I have a raised bed garden, 8 beds, first part of video. It would cost a fortune to cover the terraces with raised beds. Each rebuilt wood raised bed cost me $160 for labor plus hundreds of dollars for cedar. Spent a lot of money.
Hi Kaye, Your gardens look wonderful, look forward to Pt II. Where can I buy some seeds for the wild goose heirloom peas, and Darrell's Sweet Luck corn? I have 4 raised beds with vegetables and scattered large containers with sweet potatoes and mini purple potatoes, and herbs galore. I like planting winter squash (buttercup, butternut, spaghetti) because it gets me through the winter . I do not can yet (have the equipment, just need to learn). I want to drive over and see your set up, only 2 hrs away from Kingston. Keep up the good work - and it is a lot of WORK, especially as we approach July. Olive
Yes, having a convo with friend about how bad it could get, to shade everything, but just not possible. I'm very busy till I get back July 3rd. But, I'll make time for a few hours visit. Been way too long. You need the seeds now!
Kaye, Are you hardening your young plants prior to planting them outside? Did the tomato seeds/plants that I sent you die? Your gardens look fantastic.
No. The politics, taxes, cost and so much more just made staying undesirable. If you find a like-minded tribe near you in PA that will help. I hope it works for you. We are in a precarious point in our nation's history, and best to be checking your preps, building community where you are, ride it out. Stay safe, my friend!
Well, my property is so large I have to use the Hubble Telescope to see the whole thing! I'm glad you are OK with the snake.
Haha, for now, but as soon as the raised bed is done on Friday, the tarp comes off and the snake slithers off. Hopefully, it will be that peaceful.
@@Latebloomershow Thank you for the snake update!
lol!!!
That lower garden!!!!😳😳 Outstanding in beauty, Kaye!
Bug alert!!!😮 🐛 I saw a funny looking bug schlepping down the branch on your jalapeño plant! Don't recognize what it could be! Just FYI! LOVE ❤️ YOU!
OH no!! I better go see.
@@Latebloomershow Yes, I saw the bug also Kaye did you find it? What was it?

Everything thing looks so lush and green and healthy!
Thank you! There’s definitely blight hitting Tom’s. I need to spray.

Wow! How interesting!
They are very smart!
Miss Kaye Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden 🪴 with us and all the knowledge that goes with it 😊
WOW... everything looks wonderful 😊...so proud of you and all the work you have done
Your garden, all of them, are beautiful!

Wish I had raspberries here. Always great to hear from you. Say hi to hubs! Much love.
@@Latebloomershow We love you, too!
The Big garden looks amazing.
Thank you! Closer look in part 2
Kaye, your gardens are wonderful. They look fantastic. And, all of your homegrown food is organic.
Thank you so much! Yes, it is, and discovered yesterday my grapes have athracnose, worse than last year. Heartbreaking.
@Latebloomershow So sorry to hear this. Oh, the trials and tribulations of organic gardening. I don't remember, but did you contact your local Extension Service last year on prevention/organic treatment?
everything is looking beautiful. thanks for sharing with us. hope you have a great day!!!
Thanks so much! The video was about all I managed to get done today in this heat. I was tired from yesterday.
Beautiful tour. I'm looking forward to part 2.

I'm so proud of you for not being upset about the snake. I knew you would get there!
Thanks! I think, haha.
Me too, proud of Kaye. We just need to learn the poisonous ones in our region and leave the rest alone, as they're beneficial
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow you have been busy. I struggle with weeds also. I always walk with a bucket and if I see them I pick a weed. Lots of food in your plots. Why not spray perimeter of gardens with captain jacks weed brew?
I suppose I could put that on the list!
Awesome looking garden. Let me know when that sweet corn gets ripe - I'll come right over. When do you intend to divulge just how many clones of yourself are helping you out?
Haha, I do have a good helper but it's not cheap. Each ear of corn or tomato will have cost me about $5.

Kaye, Are you hardening your young plants prior to planting them outside? Did the tomato seeds/plants that I sent you die? Your gardens look fantastic.
No, I have them in there somewhere. Yes, I did. For too long they languished. Yours are down in the big garden somewhere.
I’ve had a momma possum under my deck for years. She doesn’t bother me either. I rarely see her….
I'm far less concerned about possum that coon. They've destroyed so much of my corn.
Good Afternoon Kaye - Thanks for the garden update but why did it have to be snakes?
LOLOLOLOL
Do you ever regret moving from California to where you are now. I moved to Pennsylvania from New Jersey and really missing NJ
No. The politics, taxes, cost and so much more just made staying undesirable. If you find a like-minded tribe near you in PA that will help. I hope it works for you. We are in a precarious point in our nation's history, and best to be checking your preps, building community where you are, ride it out. Stay safe, my friend!
