THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Lots of gardening channels on youtube, but your channels are so filled with WORKABLE solutions not click bait. Tks Deep South and Pecan Grove
Thanks
Danny is one of the best & most knowledgeable farmers in the country.
I have a bunch of strawberries I let go everywhere, need to get some dug up and moved to new beds again this year. I love strawberry plants, they really do just keep going. Took me years of arguing to get my husband to stop raking the leaves and taking them away. I tell everyone, you want the best soil, go out into the woods and dig down an inch, black gold, how do people not know these things. Nature makes the best soil all on her own if given the opportunity.
Me too. I want to get them more contained. Frogs/toads like them.
Lots of folks are conditioned to the idea of a modern manicured yard😢
Praying complete miracle healing for your knees, Danny, and mine! We have work to do! We need our knees!
Thanks yes we do.
I totally Love the Happiness I see in your face when yall at pecan grove ..
It’s your “happy place”🌱🌱🌱🌱 🍓
I lost all my strawberries last year. I just priced them and can’t believe the prices now. Those plants are gold❤
Same! The sun burnt mine up last year, I am now relocating them and had to buy plants again as well. I could not believe the price! In 2021 the last time I got plants I paid $70 for 150 plants. This year same 150 plants cost me $113!! I will be making sure to root any and all runner plants so that I dont have to purchase again. Heres to hoping they thrive in there new spot that will give them a bit of shade instead of full blazing sun all day.
Look online at places like Burpee. You can still get bareroot bundles!
Danny and Wanda, Some day soon, my husband and I will be in your position: flourishing on a homestead. Watching you two is like watching our future!!!
Danny, have you considered using a manure rake to pick up the leaves and pine straw? It really saves your back. Speaking from experience 😊
I had horrible slugs in my hosta shade garden, and i put beer in little plastic bowls. Let me tell you.. those gosh awful slugs love them some beer!🍺 (I dont even drink beer, my neighbors gifted me their boycotted leftover bud light) 😂😂😂
You talking about slugs and strawberries reminded me of something that might be useful for some folks. I moved cross country back in 2005, and lived in an apartment complex, which meant no more acreage or garden... I did have a second floor balcony, 4'x10', with a roof over it. I saw strawberries for sale at a nursery and wanted them so bad. So I bought two of those huge metal strip hanging baskets (2'Wx1'H) with the coconut core liner and planted the strawberries in those. I did have to get a couple heavy duty eye hooks and screw them into the rafters overhanging to handle the extreme weight (yes, they're very heavy when the soil is wet - I also used Pro-Mix from a local nursery, it's the best potting mix out there if you can't make your own blend). I did line in inside of each basket with contractors trash bags (I cut a hole in the bottom of the bags about 4"-5" in diameter for drainage and so they wouldn't dry out too quick).
Well, I can tell you those were the cleanest, slug-free, prolific, easiest-picking, strawberries I have ever grown.
What happened is when the main plants sent out runners they cascaded over the sides of the baskets, clear the way down to the balcony floor (about 12' down). Hanging on a balcony meant they did get part shade which made it so they never dried out during the hot days.
In the early winter the runners would die back and I'd easily cut them off straight into a trash bag (I didn't have a way to do compost and didn't know anyone who was doing compost, nor did I know anyone who had a garden to gift runners to) and leave the full baskets hanging all winter long. In the spring they just start growing again doing the same tasty beautiful performance.
I do still have those baskets (which cost a fortune back in 2005, a big nod to buying quality) and I still have the strawberry plants. Those plants have gone from Seattle, WA clear the way to Fayetteville, NC and now in the mountains of NC.
I hope this is inspirational for those who don't have a plot of dirt to grow in... just make sure you don't use the small metal or plastic hanging baskets as they're too little for mature strawberries and won't grow out nicely.
This is a fantastic way to have pretty vertical edibles on a porch or balcony. So pretty they can replace flower baskets for those in HOA's too. I'll bet these large baskets would be great for cucumbers/pickles also.
Thanks Danny & Wanda for the lesson and lovely field trip ;-) Pecan Grove looks absolutely heavenly.
I'm not sure what type containers you are talking about but I'd sure like to! I'm sold!lol
Going to my parents next weekend and they have a lot of pine trees in the woods around them. I think I'll bring some bags with me to collect some while I'm there and put them around my strawberries. Thanks, Danny!
Thank you Danny and Wanda for all your tips for helping us grow. Love and Appreciate Y'all. God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Loved our walk together! And now I know why strawberries have that name. Thanks, Danny.
Thanks for the copper coil tip! I have some lying around and will definitely be putting it around my strawberries 😎🍓
Now I need to grow some strawberries!! I love fresh home grown organic strawberries! Thank you for all of your tips. 😊❤
Work smarter is right. We, as homesteaders don't have to go back in time to all old ways to work. We are Blessed by God to have technology and better materials, and better knowledge nowadays to save our backs, our muscles, our brain, and time. Praise God.
My strawberries didn’t make it through the 3 months no rain and high heat , I got all my gardens in early and just praying for everything to come in b4 the heat kills it all . Only my Swiss chard, tomatos and bells peppers and jalapeños seem to tolerate our heat. Thank you for showing how to properly plant strawberries I J planted so that’s why I lost all my strawberries
I had a real problem with slugs last year. They even went after my tomatoes. I will be trying the copper out this year. Thank you both for all the wonderful advice. I love watching you both.
Hello Danny and Wanda. Glad your sharing on growing your strawberries.
I haven't had any trouble with slugs thankfully.
I have strawberry seeds from Urban Farmer last year and going to start them inside. Can't grow
much outdoors due to chemical sprays so going to start these seeds in coco coir inside and see how
they do. Then will transfer to an outdoor building with lights to see how things go.
I'm determined to grow food this year no matter what they do in the sky.
Glad your talking about not doing the J when planting them in the soil.
I've been learning about using the pine straw to help with strawberry PH.
You have an abundance of pine straw lol
You have humongous trees there and love how it looks when you hugging it.
As a kid I'd be trying to make my way up the tree 😅
Definitely a good shelter for the dinner and other animals in bad weather and probably
cooler in heat too.
I enjoyed the excursion before getting back to the strawberries.
I will be using electro culture in the enclosed area I'll be growing in once the winter weather
leaves here.
I ain't buying no grocery store strawberries. Their nasty and yes can make some sick. Plus I'm not paying that
for nasty strawberries.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and guidance as well as how you do things. Helps me a lot.
A blessed day to you both.
My best friend, Ricky Jones, had grandparents that lived in Old Hickory, Tennessee. I got to visit them, a time or two, back in the early ‘60’s.
They had a Helluva tree, in the backyard, that was the absolute BEST for climbing! Too young, then, to know what kind of tree, but it was SUPER TALL, with super-healthy limbs that reached to within a 7 yr.olds reach. Even the TOP limbs were thick and green. On a still day, the massive amount of leaves caught enough wind to sway the upper tree, which was WAY WAY TALLER than the church steeple next door. Maybe twice as tall😊. Thanks for bringing back this memory❤
I think you are doing a great service for all of us. Growing our own food has become imperative. Your knowledge and teaching is invaluable.
What a good time with you all thank you!
Thank you Mr. Danny and Ms. Wanda for sharing. We have been transplanting many of our strawberry plants always looking for advice. Use our pine straw all over our place around our blueberry plants and other acid loving plants. Nice to have a "free" asset on the property. Thank y'all for sharing. Have a blessed day.
☺️ I enjoyed your walk through your woods... that is one of our favorite activities in the cooler weather- exploring our little forest. We had to purchase oat straw at our last farm, in S Arizona. Now we have all of the pine straw we could ever need, AND all of that gorgeous, dark composting material underneath!!!🤗🥰 Thanks for sharing your strawberry growing knowledge with us- did not know about using copper wire, will give it a shot this year!
Aint it good to be alive...what a great day that was.
I'm like you guys, I wish I had all the money back that I spent in making woods above ground beds. These steel beds are a much better value, might cost more up front, but will last a long, long time. To be honest, I wish I could afford to replace my whole garden with them.
I plan to plant Strawberries for the first time. I have 6 pine trees in my front yard. I’m glad I watched this video.
Thanks for the great video. By the way, for someone who has had knee trouble, you get around alot better than either of us do!!! Keep on staying young and healthy. We love you guys.
I have a brace on my knee.
I found the bags on Amazon. Several different kinds so choose a nice one.
I love your land❤
Thanks for the tour. This is fun. I ordered some new strawberry plants on plan to plant them in a raised bed with the blue berry plants in an acidic soil environment. We have a pine forest like this too and it has a lot a pine needles. Good information you are sharing.
Really enjoyed the walk through the woods. God bless y’all big, big!!
Your woods are gorgeous. Makes me homesick for the farm I grew up on.
Same here!
When I bought my house they left a bunch of red bricks (came from demolition) made two raised beds from these last year. Plus one from landscape brick that was left.
Those bags are awesome they remind me of the Amazon cubes ive got. Whenever we get a huge delivery of packages at work the driver leaves zip up cubes made out of the same material as your bags with handles and all! I plan on using them for pretty much the same thing you guys are doing.
Thank you for all the tips about planting strawberries. We are going to use that information for redoing our strawberry patch this coming year. Hoping to get more berries than we have been getting. That pine woods was beautiful too!
I put My first Vego raised bed together yesterday. About an hour to assemble. Maybe a little
More. Sitting in my barn. Long way to spring here in Indiana. Snowing today. May get 5 inches I am so ready to dig in the dirt. And get
My Vego bed set up.
You make me want to get some strawberry plants; haVEN't had them in years because of the runners. Now I will plant them in pots.
Good for you for buying that copper from someone you know.. instead of giving some foreign company your money...❤
We love strawberries so- Thank You for the growing tips & excursion...
That was a fun field trip... I have White Pine beds near me.. untouched by humans and the pine beds are beautiful, deer 🦌 love them..
I moved to a very rural Louisiana lot about 14 months ago. I just got my first strawberry plants. I planted a Brown Turkey Fig last year and despite the drought I got it to grow several 3 ft branches and have four cuttings to plant. I also ordered 4 Celeste trees and five Dwarf Mulberry plants and two Pineapple Guava to try. I`m trying Peruvian Cape Gooseberries this year in more shaded places and Chokeberries. I have over 100 varieties of seeds and started with something I saw you mention...Southern Red Ripper peas last year to begin improving the terrible soil which was removed down to red concrete when they leveled the lot decades ago and I grew about 80 okra plants last year of multiple varieties.
I`ve been creating mulch in the garden with chopped leaves, pine straw, green grass clippings, leaf mold and forest soil I drag from the woods in a garden wagon. I inoculated it with compost containing 20 microorganisms and added a small amount of urine and diluted molasses and sprinkled fast acting lime pellets on top after burning leaves and pine straw on the rows and piles I made and planted a 5 lb bag of mini red store potatoes in some of them February 2nd. I`m gonna grow Mississippi Purple Hull peas to shell this year to put in the freezer.
Thanks to you I now know how to plant carrots so I got 5000 Danvers Half Long seeds. I have TONS of pine straw here and just a few large oaks in the area but sweetgums are plentiful. And thankfully there`s a 100 ft patch of blackberries on the western border of my yard so I pruned those heavily last year for a huge harvest this summer. One type makes 15 to 20 ft canes loaded with huge sweet berries that are even tasty when red. I noticed several vastly different varieties in the patch. I`m gonna propagate those really good ones and try to remove most of one tiny bitter variety and replace it.
Thanks for all your knowledge on strawberry’s, will try again this year
We had a tire swing in a big pine tree in front of my Mawmaws house, when we were kids.. we loved it
My family tree roots run deep in East Texas, between Kirbyville and Jasper .. I love the pine trees
❤❤❤The woods are so lovely! That pine straw is awesome and a blessing! I've seen it in bales at the feed store fir $25 a bale...
Keep up the good work Danny and Wanda we love your videos
Lots of helpful information today! Thanks
I have really enjoyed this video. The amount of wisdom you have Mr Danny is astounding. If only you could bottle some up… My Lord! Thank you for always giving me encouragement to grow as much food as I can and prep for the future. I love both @deepsouthhomestead and @pecangrove. The information is priceless. ❤❤
I just watched a channel that used cattle panels rounded like a tunnel and attached
stakes to keep deer etc out gardening thing, great idea!
I really enjoyed this series of planting in your Vego garden raised beds. You did a good job of explaining even the more simple steps for those of us who are not as educated on this. I hope you do more videos like this in the future as I also am transitioning over to more raised beds. Thanks for all you both do to help us become more self sustainable.
3:59 ask not what your strawberry can do for you, ask what you can do for your strawberry
5:24 get down to her crown level, talk to your strawberry
6:50 Don't be bending her roots cause your back hurts. Git down there and dig the hole proper.
9:20 cuddle your strawberry so her bed stays warm. Find the fluffy mulch your strawberry needs; she's depending on you.
20:35 animals live here too
24:45 copper spiral for extra protection
26:20 the fake strawberries...
28:40 work smarter, not harder
I love walking in the woods, there's years of history the woods tell you if you just look and learn. Maybe put up cameras for future videos on the pathways and little tunnels 😊. ❤
Also, getting ready to start seeds for summer. Gonna use the back of my vehicle for germinating seeds. I don't have a heat mat or other heated area for seed starting. I have plenty of space in my van--warm and sunny, even under the carport. Thanks again for all you share with your followers.
There wasn't those metal raised beds when I first built my raised beds. I wish there were because they aren't any more costly than the wood I used.
True but they last way longer than wood.
“If somethin comes out I’m running” 😂. My thoughts exactly. I love my woods. I’d just like to find someone to take in there with me who can’t teach me about the trees and the best way to manage them.
Wow…a copper coil kept the slugs out of the strawberries? Good to know…
Great video on the strawberries! Loved the walk through the woods - reminds me of playin as a child.
I used pine needles and I put them under the strawberries it did good and I like your channel it's so interesting
Good morning
Morning
In the north we use wheat straw. Pine straw is more decorative up here.
We don't use wheat because of the chemicals sprayed on the fields is on the straw.
Thanks Danny and Wanda! My strawberries haven't done too well the past couple summers up here in the PNW. Not enough watering during the droughts? PH of the soil not sufficient? Who knows, but I'm saving this video to watch this afternoon and eager to see what I can glean from it. Take care and God bless!
Good morning! Thank you for this tutorial.❤
Thank you for the tips on strawberries & puttering in the woods. I miss not having mature trees (in due time I will).
Some people call pines a trash tree. They aren't.
Perfect timing! I am going to order bare root strawberry plants for my Greenstalk. I was going to take it apart and start with new soil (bagged). I have access to pine straw and pine straw 'mold', so I will use that instead. Always learning new things from ya'll. Love ya'll.
I got mine in Lowes
I learn so much from your videos. Tremendous knowledge you share with us.
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Lord bless you!!!
Mmm. Strawberries.
Intercropping also helps a lot with slugs and other pests. There’s some plants slugs just don’t like. They’re also not wild about conifers so your choice of mulch also helps.
I ordered several bags like thus from Amazon. I like it for compost or picking up messes in the yard.
Where did you get the copper coils?
Appreciate the information. Thank you
Great video today God bless
Grrreat
Thank you both for sharing all this with us. I’m going to put pine straw around my blueberries.
Amazon also has collapsible water containers for fairly cheap. 100 gal. They're handy to have in key places around the yard.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing
Good morning. Ty I need to plants some too.❤
Wow, wondered why I didn't see your videos on my page. I was unsubscribed. May I ask where did you get the strawberries? Thank you and God Bless you.
Enjoy the tress, had this growing up, very purposeful if we had to remove a tree. Would dry out and use for furnace or sold as firewood. We would cut stack, deliver and stack again, that’s not how it’s done know.
Strawberry area second Favorite. I love blueberries more than anything I want to get some strawberry plants, and they were very expensive. Hope to get sone soon as I go back to Mississippi. Love the video
I did not know you had a 2nd channel. I had to sub ya.. Big hugs Love ya both..
Yep
Wow Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼👍 subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Hey Guys. Good Morning.. Watching the video.. I would have ran too if something came out of that hole.. 😀
🙏🙏🙏🙂♥️🕊👍.thank you for sharing . I have to move the ones that I have from my raise bed to a bigger bed
that will hold in the moisture well... rain water them and watch them grow
How do you keep the critters from your berries? The darn squirrels come steal ours even from the hanging baskets.
Chipmunk ate mine last year. Every morning he ran across my deck to let me know the race was on, then he would run to the strawberry bed and take one big bite off of one, throw it down and get another and another until either me or my dog got after him. It was a game to him apparently. Ugh
Put pine needles in my sweet potato garden because grass grows so much better under the trees. But when hand digging in that garden seem to get pine sap on my hands. Stay well you guys.
Like those leaf bags, get them at Menards, I can drag them around easier then a bucket
I have to raised beds of strawberries - need to weed it and place cut straw on top of the dirt
👍
Those do look like some wonderful strawberries I sadly haven't had much luck with them personally I have just done them in over-sized pot but they didn't produce much and die off at Seasons' end .
Wanda are those yaupon holly trees all up in your pine forest?? Im in washington state and ive been looking for specimin plants of that name. Thats funny, I cant even find a nursery with them. I guess they are southern. People use them in their garden for a high privacy screen with just the bark trunks showing for the first 4 or 5 ft then the tops are thick and great for privacy. That's so funny your have a forest of them but they are a nuisance!
You guys have the best place!
Yeah we can't get rid of them here. There terrible
My experience has been that strawberry plants raised commercially for sale are extremely hardy, much more than nursery raised and sold.
Commercial ones are loaded with chemicals is why.
Thanks, Danny. I would never have guessed that!! I had no idea!
Need to thin my biggest bed.
🍓
What size Vego is that? Listening to Danny and I am doing raised beds. He made sense we are in our id-50's so buying one-two-three a year will get us 20, 40, or 60 in 20 years. :-)
10 in 1 We used the 9.5 x 2.5
Thank you! We are here on 2 acres in SC. I grew up in lower Alabama. You are helping teach me and hubby so much. We don't have parents who grew food.
👋☕️❤️🙏❤️
The copper spiral that you used for to Kip them away. Please put a link to where I can get them. I didn’t see one below your video. I have trouble with the slugs eat my flowers.
