i miss being able to use fish fertilizer but since moving into the wilderness......the bears would have a hayday in my garden if i used it. Your garden looks fab
The best garden I ever had was one in which I buried a bunch of fish guts after a fishing trip. I had so much squash I didn’t know what to do with it all!
Its amazing how our gardens bless us with free veggies/flowers. In my opinion, Self seeders are the strong ones and they need a place in our gardens....the carrots are AMAZING! I am so jealous!
You have Beautiful land well kelp., Thank You Todd., Rachel how you keep up with what I do not know. You are blessed & blessed so many times and know how to do so many things., What a Blessing 5-10-2022♥️
Carrot tops make a great zingy parsley!
A trick I saw on a French channel was to cover your celery with an old cardboard jug. Open the bottom and slide over each stalk with leave sticking out of the top! It help to keep the celery from getting too dark.
Hi Rachel. OMyGod, this is a beautiful garden. I love celery, carrots, tomatoes, and peas. God Bless you and the garden. Rachel, please have faith in yourself and your lovely garden. I am praying things get better with your garden. Take care. Maria.💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
It’s just stunning, Rachel!
tomatoes like fish fertilizer also, did you know comfrey plants make fertilizer?
Garden is awesome and the new fencing you Todd put up looks great too your going to have abundance of veggies too can... Happy 4th n God bless you both and your family
I did some pruning in my pepper plants and I am getting so many flowers and peppers are now visible. I can only plant in pots on the deck due to living in a condo. I have 4 tomato plants and have never had them be so healthy and full of flowers and tomatoes already. We have been eating lettuce already.
All is so nice. Thanks for sharing this with us 🇺🇸
My first year as well
For celery and peas there doing really well
I always had a problem getting small seeds to germinate properly. My 2 problems were planting depth and soil moisture. I've decided to till the soil to a very fine texture, rake till flat surface or drag board over it as if leveling concrete. Next, I would unroll toilet paper to keep seeds from going too deep. I would then have purchased soil material that was black with no wood chips in it to give proper depth over the seeds. My last thing was to moisten the seeds. The toilet paper could be moistened while placing to hold it down. My last couple tricks were to place a board and/or plant ALL very small seeds in the same general area close to the house where I could lay the water hose with sprinkler attachment on the end to be able to gently water twice a day. I done this same general technique with tomato seeds in a trough, beet seeds seeded with a Hoss seeder, and carrots under a board, this year and was very successful with each. It didn't come without a steep learning curve. I believe celery takes a lot of water and could be done this way as well. Being close for a water hose saves a lot of work with small seeds. Heavy water will wash the seeds and soil so they need guarded against strong watering and strong rain till established. The plastic or board can help but need watched to make sure the plastic doesn't overheat or shade the seeds too long.
You lucky bugger "Celery" my next thing to attempt again !! My Winter garden is doing so well this year I am really excited.
Rachel your garden is amazing & that little neglected corner is looking fabulous too. Cheers Denise- Australia
Thank you for the nice tour. Let me know... i am on track too.
Hopefully the cucumbers pick up. Mine are looking a bit sad this year, last year I had more cucumbers than I could process. My squash plants on the other hand are taking over the garden. I sowed some on this years compost row and they have spread out and are covering this years and last years compost rows, 3 walkways and threatening the 2 veg rows on either side.
Its Beautiful Rachel ❣ I like how you do you Garden. My Beans were slow going to, and on top of that my Squash bugs here in White Ga. just ate them up. Weird! You guys stay safe.
We are at the end of the spring summer season in central Texas. Getting very hot so we are close to the resting season until Sept-Oct to plant for fall and winter. Our best season is Oct-Dec it does not get as cold her until Jan-Feb. We love your channel and enjoy learning how to garden up north.
I miss my Texas garden. I would always plant okra for the hottest part of the summer in Tx. Always seemed that the hotter it got, the better it did and it never needed much tending to. There are so many ways to use okra too!
It looks awesome ! I love the little sun flowers !
Thanks for sharing this garden tour. Everything looks amazing. I'm sure the cucumbers will be okay, sometimes they take a minute to catch up then look out. The beets look fantastic as does the carrots. Awesome job gardening Rachel! The garden is beautiful.
Your garden is rockin’! Thanks for sharing all of your “experiments” with us so that we can all learn together. Blessings...daisy
It’s looking beautiful Rachel, I’m really enjoying the diversity you have going on in your garden this year, so fun!
It’s currently a cold and rainy winter day here in Australia and I’m snuggled up inside with a sore arm (after Pfizer jab) catching up on you guys before I get to baking with and preserving buckets of beautiful lemons from our tree.
I’m always up for lemon recipes, so if you or Todd have any that are a hit in your household I’d be so grateful if you could share 🍋💚🍋
nice video
Letting that two minute ad play for you guys!! 😂😂
You’re garden is gorgeous!
Thank you so much for the garden tour. I really appreciate your gardening advice.
It looks incredible! Can't wait to see how it grows and evolves!
Garden is looking wonderful.....well done!
Your gardens looking really nice I enjoyed your tour I look forward to seeing you harvest your vegetables when they're ready to pick
great information and teaching as always!
Your garden is looking so great! Thank you for sharing it with us.Thank you for the tips for carrot seed germination too. I had an issue with that this year too. I'm excited about that heirloom pumpkin, thanks for sharing an update on it.
enjoying the video on my 65 inch TV keep the videos coming
Your garden looks great! Our garden is about to move into full production. Lots to harvest soon! Take care!
So cute 💖💖
Looks so Fabulous ♥️♥️
Grandma Patricia
Looking good!
Loved this video!
hey rachael i’m 16 and just started my garden this year it has been so much fun my tomatoes and cucumber plants are doing great i pulled a carrot to see how they were and i was literally so shocked to see that they were growing because most people in my area can’t grow them right now
Thank you for the video as I’m a newbie. I’m dealing with harlequin bugs and saw those awesome looking green garden covers at the end of your video. Can you tell me where I can find them or what they are called? Thank you so much
Loved the tour of the garden. I mix the fish emulsion in a watering can. You’re brave putting your hands in there. LOL
Oh Rachel they tell us not grow carrots they don't well in Central ky. But had some real loose soil and my son kept begging to try grow carrots he onky 6 so funny. Well I tried it last year and only 2 germinated and dint make a carrots. So this year I tried wood board to help with germination and my husband hardly ever gets excited about the garden well today he did lol 😆over carrots. They may could have gone lil longer on some but they were still good maybe should had thinned out. we had take a shovel to dig them up bc we are suppose get more rain afraid my root veggies woukd rot. They were taken over with some weed and grass we gotten so much rain weeding been crazy. Let my potatoes go bc they so close anyways just been crazy trying keep my tomatoes well with all the rain ... and today found horn worm ugh.... but so so excited over the carrots....I was trying to find ur carrot video I can't remember how to store them
Hi Rachel 👋
Your garden looks great! I have never been able to grow celery so I grow lovage instead.
We use the same, also use horticultural molasses. Like the channel!!!!!
It’s probably good that you mulched your celery. It was my first year with it too but we got some warm days and I must not have made sure they were watered enough because they went bitter. I dehydrated them for soups and sautés so if they do get bitter, they are still good. Apparently they love water.
Todd,
Due to physical issues I need to rehome my 3 hives, all new equipment in the last year.
I have kept you in mind for taking on my bees at no cost other than an hours drive.
Please let me know, and how I can contact you.

Have vids of hives.
Hi Rachel, what did you use on your onion? Mine are not doing great this year. I planted them in a different location and they are still very small.
My garden is sadly struggling..but I still have hope for it
Love your garden's progress!! For your beets, will you use the thinned ones as micro greens or will they become a chicken treat? Have you tried transplanting them? Or is that not a thing?
Rachel May I ask what are the dimensions of your garden? I currently have a small urban backyard garden, but we just bought some acreage and we will start building our home to retire in in 2 years….but I would like to start dreaming of my future garden 🍅🥬🥕🌽🥦🥒🫑💕🐓💕
About 45 x 45
You don't have any problem with pumpkins crossing with the squash or the cucumbers? We had some one year in the best looking ground garden I have ever had and they crossed. Had cucumber that looked great and tasted like metal. The pumpkins crossed with the yellow squash and the squash tasted like pumpkin. The pumpkin looked great and was yellow in side like the yellow squash but had absolutely no taste. I almost sweared off of gardening forever after that year. Since I have never planted squash, cucumbers, or pumpkins again in the same year.
Your celery looks great!! I tried last year and they didn’t get very big. Did you grow from seed? If so, did you start inside or direct sow?
❤👍
Thanks for the tips on carrots!! Much appreciated! God bless.
They suck the guts out of the ground , I feed mine every week
How do melons do in Michigan for you? I'm in Minnesota, and the melons I tried last year failed, but I am determined to grow them this year!
It looks like you have raised beds and also plant direct in the ground, do you select specific vegetables for in ground Vs raised beds?
What variety of celery are you growing and where did you get your seeds? I am planning on trying to grow it as a fall crop in zone 7b VA.
I heard if you plant herbs with other plants the smell keeps the bugs off them from the smell
I have the tomato rot on ONE of my 12 tomato plants this year. DO I COMPOST THAT WHOLE BUSH OR PLACE IT IN THE TRASH BIN? I'm thinking the fungus would spread to next years plants if I compost it?
Burn it
What kind of fish emulsion do you use and where do you purchase it?
Thats not bachelors button
When did you plant your carrots?
What is a draw bail garden? Do you have a video on them?

Do you let things go to seed on purpose to have things the following year or is it just a fun accident?
Not on purpose, just accidental usually. Nature finding a way ♥
Rachel, I have a question I hope you can answer. I killed some cabbage moths that were devouring my cabbage plants. I think I got them all just in time, but there is frass all over my plants. Not that I want to eat bug poop, but are my cabbages still edible if washed well, or do I have to pull all of my cabbage plants? I searched for the answer to this all over the net and there isn't one gardener that addresses whether this is safe or not. Most sites say that the frass becomes putrid and they say that you have to pull the plant but this is when there is basically nothing left of the plant. Can you advise?
Yes you can still use and wash well
@@1870s Thank you so much! It looks like my cabbage is growing back now that I got rid of them. I hope you and your family had a wonderful 4th of July! Can't wait for your next video!
What type of carrots are you using?
Usually Danvers
@@1870s oh thank you for responding! I already tried and failed my first round with starting them indoors before planting outside.
Maybe a silly question, but does fish fertilizer smell bad?
Sure does 🤢
It's does but diluted down once applied there is no lingering smell
I love 💕 to watch these videos ! But U people are nuts 🥜 putting this on The Internet 😳When the SHTF ! They are coming to your address first! I know everyone likes to Brag about what they are doing , but They will come Up your drive first !
2nd amendment my friend ☺️
