I came across a game changer this year. Use a kids snow sled to move the plants back n' forth when hardening off. Just think how many trips that will cut from this love/hate job! 💚🌞

[@thehomesteadingrd]

That’s brilliant!! Thank you!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Forest lake Minnesota! Great episode! Fun stuff!

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Glad you enjoyed it!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@mommadea7938]

I’m only 8 minutes in, but I wanted to thank you for explaining hardening off. I’ve heard of it for years, but didn’t ever really seek to learn what it meant. 🧡

[@thehomesteadingrd]

You're very welcome!

There’s a handheld cultivator tool you stand and twist…might make the job easier. Works well in my clay soil.

[@VillaRoundabout]

Always amazed by your knowledge 😊

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you so much 😀 I love sharing with you!!

[@loucinci3922]

I like the raised beds. Might have to check them out

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Definitely do! They are pretty sweet

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@thehomesteadingrd]

You’re so welcome ☺️

When summer time comes the garden you have is going to be epic! Great video!

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thank you! I sure hope so! ☺️

Ope, I had to stop and chat....watching your wood chip idea for you electric fence.....I gotta say, I have heavy dark soil too and oh man wood chips definitely won't last....at least not for me. So ironically I had an ah ha moment this morning....for the perimeter of my garden. I have a huge lawn area to mow and I "harvest" it each year for weed suppression in the garden, this year I am going to PILE it THICK around the edges of my garden to try kill/slow down the quack grass! I just can't keep up anymore weeding it, I gotta live too :) But I don't have the electric fence netting around my garden.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Let me know if it works!!!

[@nehapawar632]

Hey Katie.. awesome video.. can you tell me where you got your comfrey seeds from, what variety and how did you start it.. does it need cold stratification etc.

[@borlanda92]

Love your videos! I find them as a nice way to relax during my lunch breaks, working as a nurse in a overstimulating clinical setting. And usually learn a new trick or 2 from ya! Wondering if you could talk more about creating a compost pile or using a compost bin? Your compost looks so beautiful 😆
From southern Minnesota with love.

[@thehomesteadingrd]

I’m so glad to hear that!!! I worked in a level 1 trauma unit for 9 years, so I know how it can be! 🫶🏼 That’s a great content idea! I’m starting all over with my compost pile since we just moved, so this is compost that I picked up from a local organic farm, so I can’t take credit!

[@jeffreyjacobs6072]

👍🤠

[@thehomesteadingrd]

Thanks so much for watching! 🫶🏼

[@laurathibodeau662]

Did you keep your strawberry seeds in the fridge before planting? I’m wondering if I’m too late for those this year. I’m in zone 3

[@thehomesteadingrd]

I’ve actually never started strawberries from seed! I’ve always gotten plants from a local nursery and let them go wild from there
