Annie. YOU are an amazing young lady, very skilled and well rounded in your trades . and you show integrity in not hiding your failures, deeply enjoy all you do
Not sure how you do it, but watching your videos just makes me feel relaxed - almost the same feeling when I'm working in my own garden or workshop. When I've found your channel, I kinda binged through many of your videos and keep coming back for more. Wish you all the best!
Thank you for this video! We are actually planning on doing another garden this year, but this time we were wanting to try raised beds to help save our backs while weeding. You gave a lot of great info and tips and I'm sure we'll be incorporating a lot of them into our garden this year. It's nice to be growing our own food again after not doing so for a long time.
I absolutely LOVE your cat! Looks so much like our sweet cat we had 20+ years ago, named Mittens. We still miss her, so seeing your cat, who acts so much like Mittens, makes me smile. -- And, I'm 71 and putting in 2 large raised beds in the side yards of my suburban neighborhood home, where I'm learning to deal with the Florida sand! Also put in a bunch of fruit trees in the back yard, and grapes on the pergola. It's going to be my grocery store!
Hi Anne Even though we had a perfect weather, you were the missing sunshine of Makers Central 2019 Great film about your garden plans and perspectives, mine is nut much more in advance XXX Olivier
I will definitely say we did NOT have the soil we have today when we got started. It's taken 4 years of constant amendment and attention, but it's pretty fantastic now! In texas, you can get mesquite chips from your local arborist and talk to a nearby cattle farmer about getting some manure compost. Generally it's pretty easy to find both for free.
Thanks Tony! I can't wait to show the longer form videos from some of the projects I've been working on these past few months, this place has seen a total transformation and I can barely even believe it myself!
I have an established grape vine that I haven't figured out what I want to do with the area. I have cut them back to the ground twice. They just grow up again.
Science would say that yes, but amazingly that hasn’t been an issue. I was very skeptical about using them for the same reason, but 4 years in, our soil gets healthier every season.
05:55 Your one beautiful amazing unicorn. You even like onions. Wow. *mind blown* Also that cat... man it was like "Attention Attention Attention".. lol.
Brightside about snowfall in Seattle. You at least have snow clearing equipment within 50 miles. If we got a bunch of snow down here in South Carolina we'd be toast
I don't know what kind of material you used for your arch, but cattle or livestock panels make great arch trellises and they hold up very well with proper stabilizing.
It was actually horse panels and worked great for two years but collapsed under 2.5 feet of snow. The greenhouse is built the same way but had more support and it survived without a scratch.
You could cut the top of that wire and splice in new wire like splicing fence wire, won't be easy and you will need wire bending tools, or just replace it all (easier)lol
Anne, what do you use on your raised beds for insects? Soap and water? Or what. I tried using my Smith n Wesson 500 MAG 10” barrel but I kept hitting my plants and not hitting the insects between the eyes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so what do ya use?
Another good one Anne. Here I thought living off the land meant going to the grocery store instead of eating out! Who knew? After the apocalypse that wipes out most of mankind you will be doing just fine my friend. Just fine.
Cats and Gardens are my thing. Where would I buy arborist chips for my garden The Mulch that you can get at the big box stores stinks and must be treated I don't want that what other kind of mulch can I buy that would be suitable for my garden?
Depending on how many you need, you can actually usually get them for free by calling your local arborists and asking for them to drop some by when they are working near your place. I've never paid for any here and over the years we've used many, many, many free truckloads for various projects.
People were cutting down cottonwood trees and left a ton of “mulch” on the side of the road and I took as much as I could. Do you think cottonwood is safe in the garden?
thank you Anne . question please rabbits i understand, tasty . but the donkeys ? what do you use em for . i grew up in a farm town in Oklahoma . i am not aloud to grow plants lol black thumb
All I've got this year is a single hanging Goliath tomato in an up-side-down hanger. If any weed seed finds its way in, it is seperate from the tomato plant and can easily be removed without risking damage to the tomato plant. Nest is empty and it's just me and the wife, both who have major health issues, so a large garden is just more then we can handle. Personally I love fresh home grown veggies, but she doesn't eat enough of them to warrant growing a garden, per-say. But I refuse to not have home grown tomatos. This plant will provide more than I can eat alone. I'll just have to find a way to rehome likely half of the harvest, even off of one plant.
@@AnneofAllTrades that's why I have to have this plant in particular. Plus, Goliath Heirlooms are awesome for sandwich tomatoes, fresh just to eat, and about the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had.
I should also say though that we are very rarely using “fresh” chips. They get delivered in a pile and sit in the sun and get stirred a lot as they get used and spread so by the time they hit the garden, the pile has generally heated up and decomposed a good bit and killed a lot of potentially problematic issues.
Seattle rarely experiences a deep frost. Temperatures will dip below 32 a few times during the winter, but hardy kales and root vegetables will withstand the few freezes we get.
@@AnneofAllTrades Wow I never realized that. You guys are total wimps over there. I live in Maine. We get real winter here. My well intake froze last year.
As she implied, we did get a heavy snowfall in February and it stayed for over a week til it melted. It was quite bizarre. We then set a record high of 77F in March. Weather has been so weird here.
Anne, where is your hubby? He in the house watching sports or what? You out there moving that rake n shovel like a maniac and I don’t see him anywhere! What’s wrong with that picture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 well I gotta say Anne, ur hubby better sure hang on to you coz he’s got himself an amazing women for sure 😘
He isn’t involved in the day to day on the farm or with my projects. He’s got his own successful career and his own hobbies. The only real crossover is the music we play together. He’s very happy I’m happy with the farm and my shops, and would always lend a hand if I asked, but otherwise he keeps very busy with his own stuff.
@@vickijacksonmcgaugh6629 I doubt it. Unfortunately, I often feel the undertone of questions like these is the inference that I'm somehow incapable of doing this stuff by myself, of which I have four years of sweat equity that would argue otherwise.
Anne of All Trades No not at all Anne, I’m just kidding. I feel you’re way more than capable. I just admire your abilities and gusto! I know you love what you do and are able to fuel your passions. Just keep it up Anne and just keep making sawdust, wood chips n sparks. I love watching ur vids

I am always amazed at your knowledge of so many different subjects. For as young as you are you have a wealth of information. Great video again Anne.
Thanks so much Ken, I’ve had the amazing privilege of learning alongside many wise folks in my various pursuits.

Thank you Anne for sharing
Coming along nicely Anne! 😃🌱🌱🌱 Thanks for the info! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!!
I am inspired by this video!

This was very informative. thank you Ann

That’s so wonderful Margaret! Sounds like you’re making yourself a little slice of heaven!
Oliver could have his own channel 😊 such a star he is!
He’s a special boy
I think is one of my favourite videos you've made, not least because I got to play lots of "spot the cats" 😁
Still lovin that opening song!! and still waitin on that truck video!
Cattle panels are fantastic for those hoops, Anne!
Aren’t they great?
Welcome Back! God Bless...
Looks great. Very interesting and very informative.
Planting without digging...this's our futur...best regards
No till
9:30 your goats are having some fun lol
Dragon800 I just knew I wasn’t the only one who saw that! Lmao The great outdoors indeed!
I saw Frank Howarth make an archway/trellis for Mother’s Day. I can see you making one. :)
Good tip with the sawdust.
Hi Anne
Even though we had a perfect weather, you were the missing sunshine of Makers Central 2019
Great film about your garden plans and perspectives, mine is nut much more in advance

Very interesting wish we had your soil here in my area of North TX. Enjoy your vlogs, Keep up the good work.

In texas, you can get mesquite chips from your local arborist and talk to a nearby cattle farmer about getting some manure compost. Generally it's pretty easy to find both for free.
Fantastic job, Anne 👍
Big job at that. Looks amazing 👌
It’s getting better all the time!
Hi Anne, Hope all's well. Thanks for the great planting information. M. K. S.
Excellent!, Great to see the beginning thinking that has culminated in what we see on Instagram, thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony! I can't wait to show the longer form videos from some of the projects I've been working on these past few months, this place has seen a total transformation and I can barely even believe it myself!
Can't wait
Love it gonna clean up the garden and use it this year 😁
so inspired video,
i am live in indonesia the tropic country, that is possible to plant anything.
Nice video Anne! Thank you for sharing it' Have a great week! 👌👍😎JP
Lol !! Randy the goat @9:26 in the background ;-)
hehehe!
love the detail.. and the background cats
The cats are the real stars here.
beautiful beautiful video congratulations
Good job 👍
the cat is inspecting the ground ! the foreman cat!me i hope this year gonna better for tomatoes :) nice work Anne !
Very good vid Anne { love your vids Take Care
great channel just found you hi from Ireland 😀
I have an established grape vine that I haven't figured out what I want to do with the area. I have cut them back to the ground twice. They just grow up again.
If you want them gone, you’ve got to dig them up. Their roots cover quite a large area.
Keep an eye on your soil PH, when using wood chips. They have a tendency to push the PH toward acidic. thanks great video
Science would say that yes, but amazingly that hasn’t been an issue. I was very skeptical about using them for the same reason, but 4 years in, our soil gets healthier every season.
I'm going to grow a lot of weeds this year!
Hahaha! Yes! A friend of mine eats a lot of the weeds that show up in his garden. He’s got tons of fun recipes.
05:55 Your one beautiful amazing unicorn. You even like onions.
Wow. *mind blown*
Also that cat... man it was like "Attention Attention Attention".. lol.
Kitty wanted to play...and some loving....lol..
He always does!

True!

You've got some sun on your face.
I assume you don’t use the walnut dust for anything but I’ve been dumping my sawdust in the yard off and on for a while. 👍🏻
Rigby!!
There's that cat again. Cat, love to get into stuff.
You could cut the top of that wire and splice in new wire like splicing fence wire, won't be easy and you will need wire bending tools, or just replace it all (easier)lol
That’s a lot of effort for very little payoff haha. I took the panels down, straightened them out and used them to build my front gate on the farm.

Another good one Anne. Here I thought living off the land meant going to the grocery store instead of eating out! Who knew? After the apocalypse that wipes out most of mankind you will be doing just fine my friend. Just fine.
Hahaha Lee! We all do it in our own ways.
Will you need to re create the beds over time after they settle and after some rain? I've only had raised box gardens.
I add more compost every season so they grow in tandem with their settling.
Cats and Gardens are my thing. Where would I buy arborist chips for my garden The Mulch that you can get at the big box stores stinks and must be treated I don't want that what other kind of mulch can I buy that would be suitable for my garden?

Do you have videos of your woodworking efforts
Of course, dozens. Scroll down in my video feed.
😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
👋😀
That "HA" made the video. Like nelson from The Simpsons.
How often do you amend your box
People were cutting down cottonwood trees and left a ton of “mulch” on the side of the road and I took as much as I could. Do you think cottonwood is safe in the garden?
Absolutely! I use it all the time
Looks like you're off to a good start! Where do you get the woodchips from?
From a local arborist
thank you Anne . question please rabbits i understand, tasty . but the donkeys ? what do you use em for . i grew up in a farm town in Oklahoma . i am not aloud to grow plants lol black thumb
9:20 in the background...what kinda farm are you running!?!? :)
Hahahahahahahaha I didn’t even notice that
@@AnneofAllTrades I laughed like a 12yo...love your videos
Came here just to find this comment 🤣
cat is trying to tell you to introduce me please ,lol
Hahaha yep

There is nothing in the world like a fresh picked tomato.
@@AnneofAllTrades that's why I have to have this plant in particular. Plus, Goliath Heirlooms are awesome for sandwich tomatoes, fresh just to eat, and about the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had.
Farmer anne
Anne, do you have any concerns with the diseases and insects that usually accompany arborist's chips ?
Nope, we’ve been using them for years and haven’t had any issues.
I should also say though that we are very rarely using “fresh” chips. They get delivered in a pile and sit in the sun and get stirred a lot as they get used and spread so by the time they hit the garden, the pile has generally heated up and decomposed a good bit and killed a lot of potentially problematic issues.
I love how at 7:10 your cat gets a feature. Is it called "Mouse-olini"?
He is a funny little guy. Mousellini, yep.
Do you use a organic weed control spray? Like vinegar?😎
Very rarely do I need to. The wood chips do a pretty good job and everything else I try to snip off the top before they go to seed.
Seattle never freezes?
Seattle rarely experiences a deep frost. Temperatures will dip below 32 a few times during the winter, but hardy kales and root vegetables will withstand the few freezes we get.
@@AnneofAllTrades Wow I never realized that. You guys are total wimps over there. I live in Maine. We get real winter here. My well intake froze last year.
