Thank you for the tour! Looking great. I see all those berries and currants and think of all the wonderful jam I would make. We planted 2 black currants and 6 raspberries this spring so maybe next year I will get enough.
wow, what a difference from the time i seen you walk thru after you showed where your garden was going to be,,,,,,,,just a beautiful job on the garden, isnt it grand to be out there and loving the earth so,,,,,,,i liked that idea about the garlic and chard,,,,,maybe because it sounds so wonderful cooked together also...happy gardening
I also do the idea of layer planting, with tall summer plants shading lower cooler plants. I can get some much more in the bed that way! I am going to do a hoop house/greenhouse this fall for my cooler weather crops for the winter. I'm in west TN so you know I may not even have to cover them much, but just in case!
Quick question for a q and a pantry chat. When you add compost to those row beds, do you pull back the wood shavings, add the compost, and then recover with wood shavings or do add compost on top of wood shavings and then add more wood shavings on top? Would that be too much carbon if you bury the shavings? Thanks
So lovely. Thank you for sharing your wonderfully productive space. Can I ask whether you plan your growing on permaculture principles? I notice a strong emphasis on perennials and establishing self-sustaining systems.
Great video, thank you. Always like to see your garden. I'd also like to know how you grow your raspberry, they look so good. I have very little luck with them
We have put together a few smaller versions of your bean tunnels and was planning on covering with plastic in the fall so we can hopefully keep cool weather crops going longer. We also keep the soil covered with mulch, and have done the semi permanent raised rows. So far this year we have seen some great success! But what do you do for pest control? We are dealing with earwigs, crickets, aphids, leaf miners, and I just saw some white fly popping up. We have used DE, sticky traps at the base of plants, lanolin on the stem of plants that were really being attacked to prevent insects from climbing up the base, and have used neem oil once but I was worried about it killing beneficial insects (same with DE since it can kill lady bugs), oh we have also brought in lady bugs and lacewings, and planted herbs as a deterrent. I'm not liking the constant battle with the insects, what else can we do?
Do you cut the terminal bud to make them branch out during the summer? I'd love to grow gooseberries but can't. They're a vector for a white pine disease here in the pine tree state. Thanks for the tour! Looks great!
Great garden! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Could you do a video sometime about how you water all your garden?
Thanks for the great tour! Very helpful to observe your methods.

I often wonder if weeds have a symbiotic relationship with plants/vegies and we don't know yet. It's like companion planting but done naturally.

Thanks so much for sharing. It looks great. Feeding 12 and I'm wondering how I can plant to feed 3.🤔👍
Great garden tour! Feeding family of ten? Did I miss something along the way. Take care.

Wow what an amazing garden! Thanks for sharing. I’m having pest problems in NE Washington. Plus too much rain!
Mulch helps to dispel water, its not just used for retention. Good luck!
Raylin Gomen thanks 😊

I like the idea of a tree nursery on the homestead. I am just wondering if digging up the tree will put too much stress on the root system?
Maybe they are in pots butthen buried in the ground so they do not freeze ir dry out.
How did you prepare your garden beds when you first put them in?
With regard to the fruit trees, how long does it take for them to grow and bear fruit once they are moved (after the sapling stage)?
My father told me never walk past a weed.
That prop house would Last about five minutes where I'm from high winds would rip it to shreds
Thanks for the tour. Is there a difference between your onions, one to eat off now and ones for storage?
When you say you made permanent beds does that mean that you always plant the same veggies in the same beds?
What about growing asparagus in a raised bed? How much space would be needed?
How do you address garden pests: bugs, critters, etc.?
Where do you buy the newly grafted trees?
How big is your fenced garden area? Hard to judge from the video. Just trying to guage what afamily of 11 needs versus what my family would need.
What do you use to rid of squash beetles
Have you ever tried to grow avocados?
How do you keep rabbits and deer from eating them? You don't have anything protecting them that I can tell....
😯👍👍👍👌♥️♥️♥️
Does the type of wood from the cabinet company matter?
What growing zone are y'all?
Northern ID would be Zone 5 or 6 ?
Are you North of Coeur d' Alene or Sand Point?
Your supose to pull flowers off first yr strawberrys
What zone are you in?
Are you going to do a collaboration with good simple living at some point?
That was so great! We are new to growing food and have put in our first garden this year! We are curious how do you water your gardens??
Family of 12 ? I thought 9 children and 2 parents. Doesn't that equal 11 ?
I think they have a young family member staying, pretty sure that was mentioned a wee while back on a Pantry Chat,,
