Beautiful garden!!! And thank you for all the info on each plant, your experience with them and suggestion. The hardest part can be to get started and info certainly helps. Last year my little garden was washed out by rain and the second planting was eaten by birds 🥴🤪 PNW fun 😂

Your garden is looking awesome! So much going on and it's fun to hear you talk about the plants. So much passion for gardening (and tomato sandwiches)!! We're getting plants in the ground and enjoying our asparagus. Another couple months and we'll be eating fresh veggies!! Cheers Heather!
Wow! That prickly pear is amazing and Has a ton of future flowers/ fruit!! Here at our stores... the cactus flowers are so pricey. Just transplanted my large black beauty eggplant and Antigua eggplant seedlings. Storm is heading way tonight for the weekend... prayers to all those I the line of the storms. I feel like I'm the bodyguard to the Dill plants.... the worms are persistent. Cucumbers may struggle.... rolly pollys...ug... my nemesis... Great garden tour! Thank you for sharing
Wow your garden is coming along very beautiful. Wont be long until you can harvest.. i wished i could have a big garden but i live in a big city so pretty impossible..thanks for sharing with us..
This is my first time on your channel and I just want to say that you are very well spoken so doing UA-cam videos is something you will be very successful at doing. And your knowledge of everything garden is massive. You are very much in your element in the garden. And the same can be said regarding your goats and chickens. I really enjoyed listening to you talk.
Good morning! Watching while it rains here. I can’t wait to get our garden in (southern Ohio). My Pappaw always said not to plant your (summer) garden until after Mother’s Day. It’s been warm enough but it’s been so wet, I will have to wait just a little longer. This will be our first garden on this property. The soil here is so different than our other house so I am excited to see how it goes!
What part of Maine did you live in ? My fellow New Englander...lol I was born and raised in R.I. but we are hoping to leave and settle in another state. My husband just got hired at a really good job. He is a licensed electrician but hasn't worked in a few years. He had to have surgery and then when he could go back to work not many people were hiring. So we need to look into moving towards Conn. I wanted to live in New Hampshire or Maine. We have good friends Rumford Maine and she knows how much I love the mountains and her place has these beautiful mountains and a church kinda in the middle and it could be on a post card it's so beautiful. She also sent me some pictures of her and her daughter kayaking on a lake and I told her that the next time we go and visit I must try it. It takes us almost 5 hours of driving to get to her place, but it's worth it. Do your parents or sister still live in Maine ? I would love to have your knowledge. I know I say this a lot, but you really blow me away with your vlogs. I love to have you for a best friend because when ever I needed a answer to something I bet 9 out of 10 times you got the answer..lol you do teach your utubers alot and the way you explain things make it easy for us to understand and remember !! I can't wait to see more baby goats being born. Do you still have chickens and pigs on your Homestead? If you do have you ever used them for food ? 🐐🥦👩🌾🚜
We still have chickens and pigs and we definitely use them for food! We actually have a butcher date for our pigs for this fall, and we will be canning up old layers this fall too. I lived in the Bangor area in Maine and my dad and sister still live there! As well as a couple Aunts and cousins. CONGRATS on the new job for hubby! That's amazing!!
You can eat the elephant garlic "scapes" - the flowering stems! Edit: Oh, I posted before you said this! :D Sprouting out of the ground in late spring, garlic scapes are thin, curly, green stems, resembling grass or wild onions. Growers cut them off to allow more of the plant’s resources to stay focused within the bulb. Young ones are tender and delicious. They generally have a milder taste than the cloves, similar to shallots or chives. They can be diced up finely and added to various dishes for extra flavor, or sautéed in olive oil and enjoyed on their own. Curling garlic scape tendrils often include a bulge in the middle. This is the unopened flower of the plant. It is also edible, though not as tender as the rest of the stem. Some people cut it off and discard it, while others simply eat it. If you are growing garlic and you want big, flavorful bulbs, you’ll want to cut off the scapes as they emerge in early summer, before the plant flowers. The reason for this is so that the plant can put its energy in the bulb rather than the flowers that will emerge. Found at: farmers almanac web page - what the heck are garlic scapes
Wonderful garden tour!! Please show the cactuses in bloom, bet they're gorgeous!! Does your greenstalk with the strawberries spend the winter in the high tunnel? Haven't been able to plant strawberries for several years. The winters here seem to really take a toll on them, but I am hoping to try again this year. As always, thank you for all the information! God bless!
The greenstalk is in there all year because I don't trust our winds at all! I think the strawberries I had in there last year would have survived but that excessive cold snap we had killed all but one..
Once again, I love what you have done. Do you find that the ground cover depletes the nutrition necessary in the soil? How do you fertilize it? My strawberries are in green stalks as well. I put in the same type I believe, plus 25 of another type and I have no clue what type are which. I have found that my greens aren't growing in the greenstalks very well, which is odd. The north side is all stunted for everything I planted. I was going to say other things, but totally forgot what it was. LOL
Do you mean the mulch? As long as the barky mulch is on top and not where the roots are there isn't a nutrient competition. We amend the beds in the fall and winter with manure from the barn and sometimes soil from the pond area of the property. And I do sprinkle over a 10-10-10 fertilizer in spring.
Do you top off your dead head is that the correct term 🤔 your marigolds? I forgot to last year and they got HUGE. Than I found a black widow in them 😮😬
WOW I really love your garden tour. That was amazing. Mine is not that big. We don't live on a farm. Just renting a house. We do have a large back yard. I have a green house and 2 raised beds. Not sure what I am planting yet. I have a bunch of Lavender seeds coming. I am keen to plant them. I have a question. What does your husband do? Just curios. Thank you so much for sharing. I love it. Love and Blessings to you all. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
You got a real pretty little garden mine small too it's just me so I don't grow much I'm in West Texas Abilene can I grow strawberries in a big tub and how would I do it and when do you fertilize them thank you for showing me your beautiful garden
Got any suggestions about Roly Pollies? I have some veggies planted in pots on my porch and discovered tonight that a couple pots were TEEMING with them. The plants are still small and some just sprouted. I used DE but the rain in KY is so unpredictable (as I am sure you know lol).
The rolly pollies are SO BAD this year!!! I've been starting seeds in pots and planting them out after they are bigger and it's been okay. They don't seem to go after more established or larger seedlings.
@@SageandStoneHomestead It's just my bush beans but I was still SHOCKED at the amount crawling all in the pot. I even saw some burrowing down the stalk of the beans into the dirt. They just showed up tonight. I check my plants every night after dark just checking for pests and it was sudden. Even spotted a bunch in a flower bed where I have my calendula planted. I wonder if it is because our winter was kind of mild.
@Kar it looks to be working from my end, do you mind telling me what it says and what you clicked on? Was it a photo of an item under the video or our merch link in the description? Thank you!!
For those of you waiting for a Calamity update: She delivered this morning and all is well! Havoc passed on his moonspots for our mini Lamancha Herd!!
Awe that's so good to hear that everything went well. Can't wait for that video. I'll comment again as soon as I watch the whole video.
♥♥
Wonderful! Congratulations 💜👍
Thank you!! ♥
Can’t wait to see the video! Congrats!
yay! congrats! wooo hoo!
Thanks! ♥♥
I heard about that too with the rocks!
It is so smart!
Lol hi boys!😂
🤣👋
Beautiful garden!!! And thank you for all the info on each plant, your experience with them and suggestion. The hardest part can be to get started and info certainly helps.
Last year my little garden was washed out by rain and the second planting was eaten by birds 🥴🤪 PNW fun 😂
Oh man!! That's a major bummer!! Are you trying again this year?
Bantam sweet corn sounds adorable!
I think I'll be able to plant it where the garlic is when that comes out!
Love the cactus 🌵
Thanks!! 💕
Your garden is looking beautiful 😍 Hope you’re having a lovely day. I can’t wait until everyone can start harvesting a ton of things! Also you look really pretty in that shirt 🌻
Thank you so much Katie!💕
That's hilarious about the potatoes! I had one pop up as well with my squash... Not sure if I need to move it 😅
Probably not. Squash may shade it out. My Corn may too.
@@SageandStoneHomestead I have corn there too! 😄
Wow that purple cauliflower is beautiful!
I LOVE IT. Need more seeds from the other plant!
Like the idea of the rock strawberries!
Isn't it a good idea?! I wish I came up with it!
Awesome seeing how your gardens are growing!! TFS ❤❤❤
Thanks so much !!💕
Brilliant with the cups!
Thanks!! Also not my idea but it works well!!
Ground cherries comeback for me every yr too. I am going to make jam from them this year. Great video
Maybe one year I'll grow enough to preserve some! ♥
Love the experiments!
Thanks!!💕

YAY so you're in Missouri now!?
@@SageandStoneHomestead sadly no, still in NY. Spring just came early.
Oh!! Well that's a treat!!
Wow your garden is coming along very beautiful. Wont be long until you can harvest.. i wished i could have a big garden but i live in a big city so pretty impossible..thanks for sharing with us..
Have you sought out a community garden plot in your area? That could be an option! ♥

The garden is already looking great!

What a beautiful garden! Very nice!! Do you can and preserve your harvest as well? ❤ I love gardening. You've done a wonderful job!!
Yes we preserve as much as we can and eat a lot fresh too!! ♥
Thank you for information and tips on growing your garden. Iwill be watching your peas and butter bean crop.

That cactus is absolutely beautiful! I love them. I can't wait to see the flowers! May I ask what your intent was when planting thim?
I brought them with me from Kansas. I used to have a pretty extensive succulent collection and they are from that Era of my life!
@@SageandStoneHomestead that's awesome! I so want to have succulents... They are so beautiful
Is the fruit on the cactus prickly pear?
Yes! ♥

Hello, Neighbor!! :)
WOW I really love your garden tour. That was amazing. Mine is not that big. We don't live on a farm.
Just renting a house. We do have a large back yard. I have a green house and 2 raised beds. Not sure what I am planting yet. I have a bunch of Lavender seeds coming. I am keen to plant them.
I have a question. What does your husband do? Just curios. Thank you so much for sharing. I love it. Love and Blessings to you all. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
My husband is an Army Veteran and he works for his brother remodeling and fixing homes. 💕
@@SageandStoneHomestead What an exciting job he has. Thank you Heather :)
You got a real pretty little garden mine small too it's just me so I don't grow much I'm in West Texas Abilene can I grow strawberries in a big tub and how would I do it and when do you fertilize them thank you for showing me your beautiful garden
We fertilize at the end of winter with a granulated fertilizer for berries called "Berry Tone".

Do you collect your garlic scapes?
Yes we fermented them this year!!
Your link for web store and merch does not work
Thank you I'll definitely look into that!!
@Kar it looks to be working from my end, do you mind telling me what it says and what you clicked on? Was it a photo of an item under the video or our merch link in the description? Thank you!!
It’s just when I clicked the links in the description they go nowhere and I checked a couple of your other videos and the same thing happened.
Maybe this is something the matter with my tablet
