Koah and I plant our very first seeds (Carrots) ! The first steps towards producing our own food and learning about Gardening! HOW TO GROW CARROTS IN A BUCKET!
We are growing carrots, beans and lettuce in a bucket currently. It’s a giant bucket from Bunnings that’s made for growing. We are renting so we can take them with us when we buy a place hopefully
I love the encouragement of just starting your goals / garden today! So good! I started my garden a few years ago and now i have 30ish fruit trees in pots ready to plant oneday when we osn our own property and they are flourishing. Hundreds of muberries multiple times a year, bluebeeries are fruiting more and more as each year goes by! We also get hundreds of those each season!! They heavily in flower right now!! We have soo mant raisef garden befs from bunnings on legs. Theyre portable, compact and geow so many amazing foods, we use them for our vegetables! We just harvested heaps of carrots. It was so satisfying! There is nothing like the feeling anx smell of harvesting your own fresh carrots!! So excited to see your carrot harvest. You and your lovely wife (and babiy) are doing amazing!!!! I started with one soursop tree and look at us now!!!
Sand with carrot seeds spread over top of soil then wipe hand over to move soil over the seeds. Rule of thumb is to plant seeds at depth of size of seed. But you started yae🎉
I’ve been looking at my little garden this week, and God has literally been telling me to “just start.” We’re renting at the moment so I thought I had to wait until we had our own block of land to start my dream veggie garden. But you’ve just encouraged me to just get going with what Ive got for now. Thank you!
Check out Charles Dowding no till gardening... He multisows, you can leave more in and harvest over time :) heaps of tips there although he is in UK so seasons are off...
You can even add carrot seed-mix with sand & sprinkle over surface, light water spray & cover with cardboard/timber til sprouting . Thinned crop can also be replanted👏 Pray God's Blessings over your harvest xxx
carrots don't need really good soil. this year im doing carrots in grow pots instead of the ground. Ive used last years potting mix with a small bit of perlite to make it easy for the carrots to push throough. ive got them sitting in trays and am bottom watering so they hopefully grow down deep searching for the water.
Well done on starting the garden even if in buckets food is good. Also love that even though you are not in your own home on your land yet you are still already getting the process started. ❤❤❤
Something I considered when wanting to grow my own food was the cost of the things I was growing. Things like salad greens are quick to grow, expensive and poor quality to purchase in stores and almost impossible to find organically grown (where I live at least). Kale is another one. Just something to consider. Carrots are fairly inexpensive and easy to find organically grown so you are investing a lot of time and effort that at least initially could be better spent on maybe broccoli, cauliflower etc and tomatoes, capsicum, cucumbers, etc in the summer. Snow pea sprouts are good too!
My favourite part of this video is bubba helping you. My daughter gardens with me everyday since before 1. 3 years lat3r and its her happy place!!

Well done Tom and Koah ❤ it’s fun watching a tiny seed grow into beautiful food 😊
It’s a bit addictive that’s for sure!! I want to plant seeds everywhere now 😂
There's a UA-cam channel called "Hollis & Nancy's Homestead". They've got loads of foods growing in buckets with tutorials 👍
😂😂 I love your patience for gardening with Toddlers. It's so much fun doing it with them, but it can be trying at times. ❤
haha for sure! trying to get them to not touch can be more frustrating than just letting them try and making a mess! More fun for them too!
Carrot pesto with the tops-yum
Nice work growing your carrots. You will love the taste when you have your first home grown carrot. Sometimes the first step is the hardest.
Can't Wait!
I hope all goes well, Carrots are really easy to grow.
They’re almost ready! They’re going well and have been very easy!!
LOVEEE this!! So good the way you allow Koa to be involved too.

My daughter and I met Monty Roberts about 20 years ago. I got his book signed :)
4:02 was the best catch known to man kind ahahahahahha
Haha glad you noticed !
I am also renting and will be moving to my space in September. Just want to know where can I keep them, in a shade or sun?
As much sun as possible, I’ve heard they can grow well in part shade still though!
@@Homestead_OnTheRock_ thanks a lot, I'll be planting this evening. Hope to be good as you along the process 🙏
