I had a 3 year old grandson helping me pick green beans the other day he was so excited. I have a 4, 3 & 2 year old who love to come and help Gram with flowers and veggies.
@@coleweede1953 I have a 2 year old daughter and she loves it as well. Right behind me whenever I go out to the garden. To this day not a single pea pod has ever made it into a meal. She eats them all.
I stopped by my labmate's house last week to drop off some tomatillos I had to let her's have a pollinator buddy and ended up watching her kids for her for an hour for some alone time. The 4 year old helped me prune her monster tomato plants and the next day, they were asking her to buy ALL the plants at the Navy exchange instead of their usual ask of toys and candy. 😂 gardening really is addicting
That kind of mentality was the same way my dad raised me, but with fishing and being out in nature and by the ocean. I never would've gotten my degrees in marine bio and chemistry if it weren't for him fostering my curiosity and giving me the hands on experience that gave me a step up above my college classmates. Nothing like going into a fish dissection already knowing how to gut a fish when everyone else can barely hold one. You're doing such a splendid job with Geneva and fostering her curiosity, critical thinking and observation skills. Keep it up! ❤
Ellen....that is so cool, when my kids where youngsters we would rent a fishing camp every summer for a few weeks along with several other families and when we would get back to the cottage from fishing my kids and several others from the other cabins would always follow me into the fish house to get lessons on fish anatomy! It was awesome seeing the kids eyes when you would dissect a fish and open its stomach to see that bass on the table had eaten several crayfish! The questions from these kids was always great and I would spend about twice the time in the fish house "cleaning" the fish as every fish had to be checked for what it ate, or how long was its intestines, or where gills diferent on a pike or a perch, etc., Loads of fun and great memories for me and my kids! My youngest is now 29 with 2 little ones and she still gives a lot of credit to this for her getting her degree in BioMedical Science! Had lots of kudos from the other parents as well for occupying their kids for a while too! 😁🇨🇦
@@michaellippmann4474 that's so awesome! I grew up in a very bad neighborhood in San Francisco, so my dad always tried to take me places outside to keep the bad influences away. My love for marine biology grew just from going up and down the coast fishing with him to see what was different along the way and then learning about our coastal geology in school to tie it all together. A lot of other knowledge just came from me reading books about animals at the library. It was such an obsession growing up that when I got to college, I was actually disappointed that I wasn't learning anything really new aside from the anatomical bits and functions or about animals that didn't really exist in California. But I must say it was all because of my years spent fishing, diving and tidepooling for stuff that we'd bring home to eat that started me down this path. Not the "I saw turtles on a tropical vacation as a kid" story that my classmates had, but hey whatever gets you started and inspires you all counts. I hope your grandkids gets to do the same!
@@ellenkuang8853 That is really cool! As a matter of fact my grandkids are leaving tomorrow (with thier parents) and going to a fishing camp for a week of solitude and fishing! Then hopefully once they are back my wife and I will be taking them away for a fews days on our sailboat! Have a great weekend and stay safe and healthy! 🇨🇦😁
It makes my ❤️ happy to see a dad and his daughter in the garden. The world needs more men like you. This time Is going to make a huge impact on the person she becomes. My God continue to bless you and your family.
Was my first yr ever growing anything and I really messed up my first batch of carrots. I didn't space them out. I basically grew shredded carrots Haha.. they taste good and will not go to waste. I learned a great lesson and I can't wait to get my fall patch of carrots planted.
0:32 - 0:35 Your little garden helper is such a cutie-patootie!! I love how you encourage her and build her confidence. My carrots aren't ready yet. I planted them too close together. I knew better. I don't know what possessed me. Hope I get at least a few decent carrots. Thanks for the carrot lessons. Anytime you want to show us different carrot varieties, I'm all for it!
My almost three year old loves watching your videos with me. I agree gardening with a kiddo is one of the most rewarding things as a parent. Watching their minds work is so wonderful.
Your helper is adorable and so awesome to see a young dad these days teaching life skills! No, I'm not that old but definitely old enough and have a granddaughter about her age and I've enjoyed having c my granddaughter in the garden with me this year!
🥰 Awwwwwwww your daughter is adorable. Great job Dad! She is learning so much gardening with Dad. Hand eye coordination, problem solving, directional skills, teamwork, seed to harvest results - and so much more. My kids just graduated college and I miss those days of toddlers excitement. So important for kids to understand where food comes from. When my kids were young I had them make their own grocery list and they had to choose two vegetables/fruit by themselves for the family to try. It didn’t matter what it was, if they chose it we tried it. Sometimes we would end up with a bag of jalapeños and a fruit I had to look up as I had no idea what it was. My son was a “stranger looking the better” picker 😆. I found if they had a hand in picking, cleaning, cooking or just cutting then they would eat it. If I just put something on a plate it was an automatic No. Both of my kids were one of the few who cooked for themselves in college. They could feed themselves healthy meals and save money too. Their friends were so jealous they asked for cooking help. By the end the whole house were having healthy freshly cooked potlucks. Their house was the envy of the whole college (one son school in CA, one daughter school in Oregon) Start them young 🥬🥒🥝🍅🌽🌶 and not 🌭🍕🥪
Thanks to you Luke, I just harvested the first carrots I’ve ever grown! With Royal Chantenay carrot seed I got from your website, I planted them out in a large pot when it was still cold/snowy out here in MI. I didn’t see anything happening forever(remember how we had May snow?). I though it was a fail until one day they sprouted. Later I did some thinning. A few started flowering and I pulled them and they were thin and fibrous. Trash. I thought they would all be like that but when I pulled one, one day to check, I was shocked I had a beautiful fatter, mid length carrot! Turns out I got about 20 amazing carrots. Thanks Luke for all your teachings and encouragement to just TRY!!
God gives his blessing to those who can see it.. Every day people are blessed but they don't see it.. You are one that can see.. Love the videos.. Texas..
A little late to the party. Planted carrots the first time this year and thought “when am I supposed to pull these?” Could not have come across a more wholesome carrot harvest. This was just awesome!
My little (anti-veggie ) people helped me plant, weed and harvest a 9' x 29' garden (right next to grandpa's grape vines). After a while, they started washing them off in the watering bucket and ate them raw! I was told they tasted better that way. Later, they and their neighbor friends started requesting my deep dish veggie lasagna (w fresh tomatoes, zucchini, green beans, carrots, onions, okra, bell peppers, jalapenos, etc). To this day, my youngest (soon will be 18yrs) prefers a vegetable over meat meal. He picks over the meat and puts the rest in the fridge for the dog. Lol Now, since moving from Michigan to Florida, we can have started lemon and papayas. In a couple months the pineapples should be ready to harvest. It can be a challenge, avoiding chemicals. But so far were doing pretty well. Thank you for your video on blossom end rot. I started giving the calcium mixture last night. I'm going to need a ladder to get to the top of the tomatoes. Down here, having a hard time locating live Thai basil plants. And Purple Celosia for decor. If anyone knows who sells them in Florida (Orlando area) please let me know Thanks
She is getting so big!!! You have been such an insperation to our family. We love spending time in our garden been doing it for 4 years now and its amazing what a garden setting teaches our children, and with the crazy world we live in, if you cant grow your own food, its time to learn.
I think Geneva brings the calm. Even the pace of your speech is unhurried. I love the edited bit where you obviously turned your attention to her questions instead of recording. Nice peopling, you two!
dear Luke, yesturday I did 2 things, planted my fall garlic, which was sooo huge that they meaning EACH CLOVE were ping pong to golf ball size that I got from the local garlic farm up here by Escanaba, after soaking them in fish emulsion as instructed by the grower, also i picked some fall carrots from a raised bed that the deer have been feeding off the tops, we covered them with our orange snow fence so they wouldn't eat the roots. I was a little bummed because they ate the tops, you see, i harvested the earlier carrots with the tops and used all the leaves by putting them into the dehydrator because my parsley didn't grow this year. and it tasted just like parsley. so i have some dried parsley for winter. oh yea i don't waste anything. have a blessed day.
Miss Geneva running circles around you. Need to move out of her way. 😆 My daughter is the same way. Loves to go check on the garden with dad to see what is ready to pick.
barb kafilmout you want water about 6 inches deep in the soil and then wait to water again until you put your finger in the soil and it’s dryish on the top 2 inches or roughly to your 2nd knuckle 😀
Watering deeply means that you water enough so that deeper soil gets wet and you don't water as often. It encourages plants to grow their roots deeper to look water.
I have a tiny planter box garden because i live in an apartment building. But I have a 4 year old cousin and a 3 year old neighbor who come by and LOVE to watch all the plants grow and they help me water and check on them. Its so adorable that they get excited to see the tomatos grow. So we made a little planter box for them and put merigold seeds in it for them to grow at home.
You are a good father Luke. We are teaching our boys to plant seeds also. Our garden has expanded and the harvests are coming in. I love to see their reaction to the size of the slicer tomatoes. ❤
Pop used to take his carrots to the cellar and replant them in wooden boxes filled with sand. They would last all winter. So your daughter is correct! Lol. Thanks thinning tomorrow
My 2 year old grandson was picking undersized cucumbers yesterday and we just kept applauding him. It's a wonderful thing to see a child excited in the garden and I do try to foster that excitement with him. This video was awesome to watch. Tell me, what people are putting a thumbs down vote on this?! I just don't understand.
Love seeing littles in the garden. I let my 5 year old seed our lettuce and radishes this year. The radish were a little too close together, but lettuce are high density and doing great. She had a blast and is a proud gardener.
Does Geneva 'graze' on the garden herself? I remember my kids walking right up to a broccoli plant and biting the top right off! I didn't mind the loss of the plant , as I was so happy to see my kids enjoyimg the veges we'd grown! 😃
Too cute! My sons are helping me tend our victory garden and they're growing watermelons which are surprisingly doing really well. Kids are so observant and make great helpers in the garden
Had my carrots go to seed on me this year and was so confused and wondering what I did wrong.... big thank you from Oklahoma love the videos and will be ordering more seeds soon
Actually Luke, I had 3 carrots growing roots in my fridge. I planted them hoping to get seeds. 2 have survived and are producing green tops. So, you can put a carrot back where you got it from.
It's so so wonderful to see you sharing time and knowledge with your child! She's absorbing everything, and is really enjoying it. You're a great teacher.
My mom and i have a garden at her house. We planted carrots, and everytime my friend comes over with his daughters(almost 4 and a 5 year old), they get to pull a few carrots out. For them to eat, and then they save one to bring home to their bunnies. They love it.
This is really cool. I remember as a child I was super into geology and plants. I wanted to buy some flowers for mothers day and put it in the garden. He said it was too expensive. Now I'm growing MASSIVE vegetables out of the soil which he said didn't get sun and couldn't grow anything.
Seeing Geneva harvest was a fun break during my work day! (My youngest is 20 so he doesn’t have quite the same sense of wonder with our tiny garden harvest)
My grandson gardens with me. His favorite is picking cucumbers although the yellow summer squash was running a real close second. We have a super small garden but being able to enjoy him learning is beyond belief.
My son and I just tasted our first couple sunsugar cherry tomatoes this year today, always such a great day for us every year ❤ gardening is so much fun with a kiddo, their excitement is totally infectious
I learned a few things and it was fun seeing your daughter learn as well! She is so adorable and very helpful. I’m glad she gets to work with you in the garden, such a valuable skill and great quality time together. 😁
I found an excellent recipe for chimichurri using carrot greens! So even if the carrots themselves are too small, the delicious greens can still be used. 😋🥕
My daughter loves the baby carrots. I always plant intensively and pull the biggest ones as we go through the season,that’s just how we do it,I realize most people don’t harvest that way,but we’re not trying to break any size records for carrots .😉
So adorable! My son is helping me in our vegetable and flower garden. He has Asperger's and loves working with his hands. He helped me harvest our Green Beans and our first zucchini:)
So nice to see wholesome content on here like a father bonding with his daughter via gardening. This was in my recommendations, you've got yourself a new sub!👍🏻
I've been buying your seeds like crazy, missed out on too many cool varieties in the past. Good to see that the money is going to something good. 3:30 what an amazing hi5, nice sound!
I make my own "seed tape" for my carrot seeds. I use cheap toilet paper. I unroll it onto a large craft table. Every inch I place a small drop of elmers' white glue and place a seed in the glue. On a 4" square of toilet paper I can get 12 carrots seeds evenly spaced. Let it dry, sometimes I have to scrape it off the table. I roll it up the seed tape onto the TP roll and lable it with the type of carrot. It's a lot of work but it evenly spaces the seeds. To plant the seeds, I unroll onto my soil (seeds up) and place a light sprinkling of soil over them. Keep them moist. The glue will basically melt away and the seeds will germinate. It's an inexpensive way to space your seeds and they grow larger carrots.
I go with 2 inch spacing and found that to be the secret spot, also agreed with you on deep watering and against all advice I feed mine nitrogen rich fertilizer and we get amazing carrots
Lol that was great. I'm gardening on my balcony of my apartment, it's(the only space I have to use). So I try to take my kids out to see what's growing 1 at a time. It's a tight space,but we do what we can🤷🏼♀️. And the kid's are just so excited. I know it's an experience I would have liked growing up.😍 How lucky your daughter is to get this opportunity to learn the valuable skills and to spend time with you.💖😘
I grow a lot of carrots and can tell which ones to harvest by the tops. The "ripe" ones have the darkest green foilage and those are what I harvest because I want maximum size. Of course you can harvest whenever you wish at any size...just feel around the crowns and pick the biggest. Happy gardening.
My 3 year old garden helper walked up to me with a big handful of seed beans mere hours after I planted them - a full row's worth of kitchen kind and blue lake stringless pole. So I tried to sort them as best I could and replant them but some got mixed up and so I've got pole beans and bush beans kinda mixed together. 😝 Having my son help harvest has gotten him to eat a bunch of different veggies though, and I love having him in the garden
Oh my gosh his daughter is just the cutest ever.
She’s probably going to be a loving gardener like her papa 🙏🤍💫 special thing to share
I have a 1 year old daughter and I cant wait for these moments :)
You're such a great Dad for teaching your children all about gardening! Such great life lessons!
good papa
When Geneva waved I caught myself waving back...lol
Dying here!! I did too!!
I did too. Hahahaha. She is such a cutie.
Hard not to smile!
I waved also and remembered when mine were babies.
Hahaha, me too:)
Your daughter is adorable! And so smart! You can tell she has parents who talk, read, and listen to her.
Its crazy to watch your daughter grow up every season
I was just about to say that. When I first watching MIgardener she couldn't even walk

3 carrots growing roots in my fridge. I planted them hoping to get seeds. 2 have survived and are producing green tops. So, you can put a carrot back where you got it from.
Yes but the carrot won’t be as tasty and will just produce side roots, instead of the main root (the carrot itself).

Such a sweet little helper! Hi Geneva, i see you waving
Great carrot haul! And your daughter is absolutely lovely, and obviously very smart.
It's lovely to watch her grow, and her vocabulary improve. Growing food and future youth!
I can't handle the cuteness of this video! Thanks to you I am excited about planting my scarlet Nantes in containers for the fall.
Awsome Dad! Thank you for sharing your harvest learning experience with your daughter. She's so cute
Seeing Geneva harvest was a fun break during my work day! (My youngest is 20 so he doesn’t have quite the same sense of wonder with our tiny garden harvest)
My grandson gardens with me. His favorite is picking cucumbers although the yellow summer squash was running a real close second. We have a super small garden but being able to enjoy him learning is beyond belief.
Its so nice to see you teaching her these priceless skills! We definitely need more of this in the world..especially now.
My son and I just tasted our first couple sunsugar cherry tomatoes this year today, always such a great day for us every year ❤ gardening is so much fun with a kiddo, their excitement is totally infectious
I learned a few things and it was fun seeing your daughter learn as well! She is so adorable and very helpful. I’m glad she gets to work with you in the garden, such a valuable skill and great quality time together. 😁
My son helped me plant our carrots this year too. Can’t wait to harvest them with him😊
Being a parent is AWESOME. My kiddo is 9 and seeing yours makes me want more.
Your garden helper is the sweetest little thing she’s so cute, one could imagine her as a statue garden angel 👼
Geneva is getting so big and she is just precious!
These family harvest videos make my day. 😊 I think those baby sized carrots would be perfect for a quick steam and then roasting whole.
Your daughter is such a cutie. I love that you are teaching her about gardening and food.
I found an excellent recipe for chimichurri using carrot greens! So even if the carrots themselves are too small, the delicious greens can still be used. 😋🥕
My daughter loves the baby carrots. I always plant intensively and pull the biggest ones as we go through the season,that’s just how we do it,I realize most people don’t harvest that way,but we’re not trying to break any size records for carrots .😉
Genova so cute she answered my question I was wondering if I could put them back to grow bigger .
@Muse Verdant he said you can't....
@@samanthak.2430 Actually you can. I've done it. Lol.
@@FaithRoss2817 good to know😊
Please bring her back for more harvesting! Thanks for the tip on carrots, now I know what I did wrong this past spring!
Oh. My. God!!! She's absolutely adorable! My daughter is Neva too!
SO cute your daughter has grown so much. Love it.
So adorable! My son is helping me in our vegetable and flower garden. He has Asperger's and loves working with his hands. He helped me harvest our Green Beans and our first zucchini:)
So nice to see wholesome content on here like a father bonding with his daughter via gardening. This was in my recommendations, you've got yourself a new sub!👍🏻
Some of my fondest childhood memories are working in our vegetable garden in the backyard. 💖
I've been buying your seeds like crazy, missed out on too many cool varieties in the past.
Good to see that the money is going to something good.
3:30 what an amazing hi5, nice sound!
Oh she is super cute!! So fun teaching the kids to love the garden!!
I make my own "seed tape" for my carrot seeds. I use cheap toilet paper. I unroll it onto a large craft table. Every inch I place a small drop of elmers' white glue and place a seed in the glue. On a 4" square of toilet paper I can get 12 carrots seeds evenly spaced. Let it dry, sometimes I have to scrape it off the table. I roll it up the seed tape onto the TP roll and lable it with the type of carrot. It's a lot of work but it evenly spaces the seeds.
To plant the seeds, I unroll onto my soil (seeds up) and place a light sprinkling of soil over them. Keep them moist. The glue will basically melt away and the seeds will germinate. It's an inexpensive way to space your seeds and they grow larger carrots.
Your an awesome Daddy what great memories your storing up for your little girl
Awesome kid - I love gardening with my 2 girls as well. 4 and 6 yrs old.
I go with 2 inch spacing and found that to be the secret spot, also agreed with you on deep watering and against all advice I feed mine nitrogen rich fertilizer and we get amazing carrots
Too cute! Loved seeing you and your daughter share this harvest. 🥕🧡
MIGardener Jr. is adorable! ❤❤❤ Thanks for the great info as always!
OMG Geneva waving to the camera is just precious!
I had little carrots also. This video made me feel better about taking away the lesson. Love your videos.
I think I’m going to try and tackle carrots again for a fall crop since my spring crop didn’t pan out. Thanks for the info!
Lol that was great. I'm gardening on my balcony of my apartment, it's(the only space I have to use). So I try to take my kids out to see what's growing 1 at a time. It's a tight space,but we do what we can🤷🏼♀️. And the kid's are just so excited. I know it's an experience I would have liked growing up.😍 How lucky your daughter is to get this opportunity to learn the valuable skills and to spend time with you.💖😘
What a cute little helper.
Perfect timing. I had some carrots in a big pot and was wondering when to harvest. I did mostly after watching your vid and instructions. Thank you.
I grow a lot of carrots and can tell which ones to harvest by the tops. The "ripe" ones have the darkest green foilage and those are what I harvest because I want maximum size. Of course you can harvest whenever you wish at any size...just feel around the crowns and pick the biggest. Happy gardening.
Thank you I needed this. First time I ever planted carrots. Thank you Geneva!😍
It so much fun to garden with your kids. You do such a great job condensing your videos and hit important points. Thanks for the info!
You're daughter is adorable my man! nice harvest!
Dude Your channel is awesome.love your recipes always.Please focus on a few vegetarian recipes.Love from India!
You taught me how to garden so thank you! I noticed you haven't done a winter garden harvest. Would love to see a greens harvest this winter. :)
My 3 year old garden helper walked up to me with a big handful of seed beans mere hours after I planted them - a full row's worth of kitchen kind and blue lake stringless pole. So I tried to sort them as best I could and replant them but some got mixed up and so I've got pole beans and bush beans kinda mixed together. 😝
Having my son help harvest has gotten him to eat a bunch of different veggies though, and I love having him in the garden
Geneva is precious Luke and absolutely brilliant. :)
You doing a great job with Geneva. She so adorable, God bless!
0:31 awww, that little wave! ♥♥♥
Thumbs up for the little garden helper
She’s adorable. Reminds me of my granddaughter. 🤩
