Planting Our Garden | Life in Alaska
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 тра 2021
- Our 2021 garden is coming along, we revitalize our neglected strawberry patch, plant this season's brassicas and greens, and get the peppers in the ground in our high tunnel. We fertilize our successfully overwintered garlic, sow radish seeds and cook a unique meal at the cabin. As more and more seedlings are planted, our vegetable plot becomes that much closer to being completed.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

I like the format you've chosen; No clickbait. Come for the gardening, have a side cooking class as a bonus, leave feeling like family. It's not easy to endear yourselves to so many, in an honest way.
Just an honest channel that I love to watch.
@@boymomx3OG yeah if they promote something it's because they use it and recommend it or the customer service
Agreed! Thank you truly for NO clickbait! I have stopped watching an off grid couple’s channel because every video is clickbait of her butt (and sometimes her boobs). It’s SOOO annoying. Your channel is refreshing and lovely. You make what you do look so doable! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Is it odd that I would rather watch this channel than almost everything on television?
Not odd at all. Real life real people with their own hands. And adorable animals
No not odd I don’t like real television now I feel more connected with these people.
Same here!
Absolutely amen to that. Michelle
No!
Cookbook When!!??! You guys have so many unique and amazing recipes but they're spread throughout your videos. We would love to have all of your recipes all in one convenient place! Please please please consider making a cookbook!!! :D
I’d prolly buy it😁
That is a great idea
“Making The Most of Moose”
Please make your own cookbook with all the little delicious extras you do! The substitutions look and sound better than the original recipe! Num!
Yesssss cookbook please!!!
I have never seen two people that are in love with a life style as you two are. You are both amazing people.
#Truth
yeah they remind me of Ryley and Elayna of Sailing La Vagabonde.. they just offer pure escapism for us mere mortals
man I could watch this forever. It's always an "awwwww" moment when it ends
Same!
Omg the same for me!
@@xiovlogz same for me. I watched it twice.
When I see a vid from Eric and Ariele I always look at the length of the vid first before I press play lol. I love the really long ones but I still get bummed when it finishes. Michelle
Aww, I agree!
please don't forget to put the daily temp and sunrise / set info at the beginning, I like to see that, almost nobody in the lower 48 realizes how different it is up there
They only live about 2 hours north of me, I have not had the heat on in my place for over 2 months and they are still starting fires to warm the house up, I have to open my door for a hour or 2 a day to let the air cool down. Temp varies a lot here in AK depending on where you are.
I love it when they do that, too!
@@donaldmiller8629 You got it, no heat on since the first, in fact it has been in the 70s the last few days and I am breaking out the AC unit pretty soon that I picked up a couple years ago.
Your cinematography is good enough for National Geographic. You should be proud! Always enjoy your your posts keep up the good work😊
Right? The opening was great, lovely soundtrack.
I quite agree.
You work so hard at providing food for yourselves and what delicious food it is. Love seeing you cook.
The chickens were wildin' in this episode lol!
They were so cute. Having chickens is a wonderful thing to wake up to I love the sound of roosters crow
Rather hear the chickens than another add for squarespace
They supposed to be. 😄
and that rooster at 7:49 is absolutely beautiful. I've named him Cluck Norris... I hope they don't mind :)
Lols, I do not think they will.
Poor Ariel is catching Eric's dry humor like crazy in this one. I laughed at the "Crocodile Dundee" comment, because I wear an Australian style outback hat and have heard that more times than I can remember. "I just can't trust you out here" Lol
Not often that one sees a couple work so well together, and both of you work very hard!
your video's are like a double Feature! The opening show to get us calmed down so that we are prepared for the Feature Movie ;)
They do such an amazing job of telling their stories.
You’re so right!
That multi-color rooster is just plain beautiful, loud but beautiful!!
Loud is right, i wasn't really ready in my headphone's when that sucker went off🤣🤣🤣 i laughed my ass off at myself for almost falling off my kitchen bar stool! If the world could have seen me grabbing My headphones trying to get my barrings! / ok it was funny.
Tried watching without a cup of coffee. Couldn't do it. Had to stop video and go make a cup. Lol
Eric makeing the ravioli makes me feel like happy wife happy life; he is so in his element and enjoying what he is doing
Living in wasilla ak and so happy to have your videos as a fall back for when to do things. Just planted all my things this week also.
I absolutely love the way you two work together and respect eachother. What a beautiful couple, and a beautiful farm. Watching you guys is the highlight of my week!
I concur
I just go crazy with your plantation. I love it! You both make perfect videos, songs, animals, places, food, walks... everything! Don't never stop making videos please! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awesome!!! I cant wait until Memorial day weekend so I can start planting. Zone 4 central Minnesota. I had about 150 pepper plants germinate, gave some away but I will be busy.
lol! "Do you want a Shovel ? --- "No, I'm a human shovel!"
Awesome response right? Haha....this is an awesome couple
I love that moment right after they take a bite of food and they pause….you know it’s gonna be good when they pause.
Plant what does not fit in high tunnel outside and what grows grows like peppers and tomatoes etc and you should gets some good growth still.
I have not read all the comments, but I am pretty sure your new bird freind is a male sandhill crane. There is a hunting season for them in Alaska and you are allowed 3/day. I understand they are delicious and their nick name is Rib-eye in the sky. Hope you can try them out.
Depends on location, limits differ, it they are indeed DELICIOUS.
I know its been pointed out before. But the cinematography / editing are top notch. One of my favorite channels for content and sheer beauty of imagery ....And the dogs are super cool
Plant those extra strawberry plants out by your bees.
I mentioned this before but I am so impressed with y’all’s videography and music that you pic for each video. It’s seriously looks like you have hired professionals to do your video, music and editing. Great video guys.
I love your Pyrex. When my grandma passed she had the same blue ones you have a left them to me. They’re my prized possession!
Anyone watching this, make sure to mix a bit of black pepper into your food any time you use turmeric or turmeric powder, because the biochemistry of the black pepper activates the anti-inflammatory properties of the turmeric. It doesn't take much black pepper, so you don't have to make your food spicy-hot if you don't want that, but it will help keep you healthier overall! (I assisted a neurologist doing research on the effects of turmeric in fighting Alzheimer's disease a few years back.)
This really is the best show
This is the most sincere, truthful and down to earth channel on UA-cam. Keep on keeping it real.
Best bedding plant roots on Utube. Vigorous, white and ready to be planted. Excellent start to an other year. Stay safe.
OOHH! THOSE DUMPLINGS LOOK SO GOOD, Eric!
Nice fire & cup of tea/ coffee after dinner......more work! What!
I’m putting strawberries in my asparagus bed. I read that they like each other as companions.
Oh my..... I'm going to have to research this.. If that's true I know what I'm doing this weekend!!!!
Untill I watched whay you guys grow I never relized how much food it takes to feed 2 people
I can appreciate that. I am a family of three and we have a large garden that I have been questioned about several times. We aren't fully self-sustained yet and we don't grow HALF of the things they do. Sustainability is harder than it seems it should be.
I long for your videos. Having lost my dog of 16 years, I love seeing yours and just how much yall love them. Its great that this way of living suits yall nicely. I'd love to eat breakfast with y'all, it sure looks yummy!!!!! those biscuits.......
You two are something else. It's so inspiring to watch you enjoy living off your homestead. Great job be happy..I'm impressed
There is just something about the sound of a crane, it makes me happy inside.
Am living my Alaskan dream through your channel, thank you so much for sharing your journey. Great content.
People are not very observent, lovely to see the new growth.....
You inspired me...I have a plot at our local co op garden. Plants are in!
U go girl, best wishes. Member do all the proper dirt and other stuff that goes in, lol idk but I see it. 🍃🌹🍃
Lovely scenery and relaxing music… and the rooster singing opens the door to Arielle’s creative gardening… where I live some neighbor must have a rooster for every day he crows while I water my garden. If he doesn’t I miss him. Tanks
Once again, stunning footage, awesome guys.
Man, watching your videos take tons of stress off my shoulders.
It seems to be that time of year again when I cook this meal. Always a BIG HIT !!!! and I watch the video again in full 🥰🥰 Cheers Denise
You two have the best life! Simple, rewarding, stress free!! I’m longing.💕🌈
I caught myself reaching out to pet Bo’s head while he was helping out in the garden.😆
In like 10 years you guys need to have a B&B. I am so envious of the food you all eat.
Ive really love your channel. And you have inspired me to kick up my gardening game! What an inspiration! Thank you taking us along on this journey!💚
Well said....
Yeah girl get out and get happy!!! Best of luck, if I could OMG I woukd these prices in the city, not only that I shy away from healthier food cause it's Expensive.
Hello guys, great to see you starting on the garden. Scenery is beautiful
My wife and I live in NC. Our strawberry season just ended and it was better than any season I can recently remember!!!
So funny ..First he didn't remember the name dumpling..then he is folding the dumpling like a ravioli..Inn the end he's simply calling it ravioli 😂😂 erin just doing with the flow 😂😂😁
You two are awesomely inspirational. Additionally, the editing of this upload is phenomenal!!!
Holy crap, 96 pepper plants! I've been gardening in the mountains of SW Oregon for the last thirty years and have had good success gardening outside with both hot and cold-tolerant plants. Every year presents new challenges. I am truly amazed by how much you two have accomplished in such a short period of time. For me, I have determined that less is more when it comes to planting peppers. It seems my pepper plants do best when plant spacing is such that at full maturity each plant has a few leaves "holding hands" with its neighbor. The number and quality of peppers are best at this spacing. Continued good luck in your Alaska adventure!
Love the longer videos, appreciate that it’s a lot more editing but it makes viewing so much more immersive. Thank you, from Oceania.
I make my own yogurt out here in the bush, again, when I was traveling in India, the home stays I was at ALL made yogurt daily. I put it on EVERYTHING. another great video, thank you so much.
I just want to tell you guys that I envy your ability to do and live the way you do, I watch a lot of your videos and love the scenery. I was on my way to doing what you guys are doing about 1996.. I broke my back , that changed everything. Any way I enjoy your videos.
If it was me i would take my extra strawberry plants and plant them in the woods for the local wildlife to enjoy
Would love to know more of your histories & backgrounds. Cooking school? How you go about researching things (gardening, foraging, recipes, etc.) Is that what you do over the long winters when it’s dark & cold outside?
OH YEAH !!!! have made these so many times & my friends & neighbors are in LOVE with this whole meal.
Your production keeps on getting better, Thankyou and cheers from Alberta.
guys, since you have so many extra plants, i have an idea for you.
plant them out and grow them up as usual, then use them for trade with others in your area for other types of food you didn't get a chance to grow, or even for meat/fish/etc
others in your area would also have extra left over pots/plants etc etc etc. worth a shot, you are a little famous in your local area after all :)
Right on guys. It's nice when you discover a new tasty meal. The garden is looking amazing. It's definitely an exciting time to get plants in the ground. So far we are having the best season yet. Already have potatoes coming up and broccoli heads. Your camera work and editing is outstanding as usual. Have a great day!
thanx for sharing from Kodiak!
Boy you two can really help a person get motivated. Thanks a bunch. Take ❤ care.
Not one of your videos is uninteresting. I watch all of them from start to finish! Yay for you and me :D I appreciate your hard work and your dreams and how you go about achieving it. You're both stars in my book.
I've grown strawberries for years. While they will keep producing fruit on older plants I usually dig them up and throw them out after the second year of harvesting them. The older plants tend not to produce as much fruit and the second harvest usually gives the best crop. I take the runners each year and plant them into pots so that I can plant them to a fresh bed the following year - a fresh bed can reduce some of the disease problems of using the same bed year on year.
I love Afghan food! Glad you made some. Locally (Northern CA), they add the yogurt sauce on top. Consider making Kaddo/Kadu, roasted pumpkin "stew" with yogurt sauce. I make it using sweet potatoes. Yum!
I can't believe you are ahead of me in planting. I might need a high tunnel in my tiny suburban yard - although that would be the entire yard. Thanks for sharing your life with us, you two a joy to watch.
The Pup is the star of the show! So adorable!
And the cute cat!
Another AWESOME dinner you 2 made together! My mouth waters watching your videos when you cook!
Your videos, the angles you choose... man oh man! Such beauty that you're sharing with us! My 15 yr old loves watching your videos with me now! Also, the FOOD!! Food blog? Make a movie (Biggest Little Homestead in Alaska maybe)? You guys are just amazing and I truly enjoy watching your journey. Sometimes I just watch for the peace and some times for motivation to get out there and get things done!
I love how you kept the chicken sounds even with the piano in the beginning haha! Bravo--so inspiring :)
Your videos are serene! Good job.
Those chickens especially that beautiful Rooster is the perfect background music !!
Hi Arielle and Eric; wow, you are able to plant outdoors, well this is awesome, I hope all the very best, in my zone we are supposed to get a mix of rain and frozen rain, right now I can see that the clouds are coming together more, this is supposed to happen sometime after midnight, I have some beautiful cabbage plants to get into the ground, also some cucumbers etc. Oh Well my planting will happen, I know it will. Thank you for sharing the videos! Heather from Deer Valley Saskatchewan Canada
Oh , the WORK you both do!!! Can't wait to see your strawberries this year! I love it when you show pix from working in your greenhouse! Your plants are so healthy and beautiful! We have -40 below wind chill here in Illinois right now so it was very helpful to see your beautiful plants growing in your greenhouse!!
😂😂 the way you’re shaping the dumplings is very similar to a Tortellini 🥰🥰
Oh and pepper’s actually really like to be tucked in close to each other, so you might actually see them do better because of it. 🥰👩🏻🌾🥰👩🏻🌾
Oh soooooo much work. I loved watching the harvest last year. Watching from the seeds, now to little plants it will be fun to watch early fall for the harvest. Your lunch looked yummy. You make bread, rolls, biscuits and dumplings so easy to make. Thank you for Your Great Videos❣
You two are doing something I wished I had known about 40 years ago! I love all the info you give! Since you talked about Anthony’s heavy cream powder, I bought some and it works great. I also bought some buttermilk powder, also! Thank you, for such an amazing insight into your life !
My uncle who has the most beautiful garden ever and vegetables and he believes just before u put the plant into the soil he would put his bone meal in first to then the plant he always got better results then me and the size of onions was out of this world x
Finally something decent to watch
Look at all of your baby starts. Time to grow babies. Congrats on your 3rd Spring in Alaska you two. Sending good vibes of beautiful weather your way.
Love your vidéo snd your cat.... it,s so enjoy to see all this crop....xox
Bo is a great supervisor ...seriously there should be a secondary channel just to watch the chickens ...
Chicken cam. I would watch.
I watch "The Veggie Boys" channel which gives a great insight on how they plant veggies in Pennsylvania. I have learned a lot from them. Just a suggestion!
That Hooligan on the crackers looked delicious. Some corn tortillas, cabbage and sauce for Hooligan fish tacos. Mmmmmm
Hello from KY love you and your channel.Love watching you guys.You are adventurous and so are the dogs 😀,the cats a little shady though.😀💕🙏
Wow! Love how you just keep getting more and more ambitious with the garden! And more wise! Your obviously flowing more and more with your intuition, and pulling knowledge from past years. It’s cool. Your both so natural and work so well together. We are so in awe of you both and so inspired! Keep up the gorgeous relationship. Your films grow as you do. Love love love. E + B
I found your channel through a comment on “Somers in Alaska” planting their garden. The comment said that your garden was amazing. I have watched 30 seconds and I’m already hooked because of the music and scenery. A new subscriber here!
How can y'all have better weather than us in South Dakota? We've had rainy, nasty weather and we're waiting for summer!!! I can't say enough how envious I am! I enjoy your posts so much! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
I live in Western Canada and forecast calls for snow tonight and tomorrow.
@@jennylam9402 really? I’m in northeastern Ontario and we are having a heat wave right now...how weird! This weather is so unpredictable
@@nicolehervieux1704 it was 26C (78F) on Monday. It’s now snowing and 0C (32F). Typically we start planting veggies and flowers in the ground this May long weekend but looks like that’s not going to happen.
@@jennylam9402 : yes it is definitely weird... we always have to wait until after the full moon of May or beginning of June and this year it looks like it won’t matter if we plant now. Have a good and blessed weekend, may the Lord keep you safe until He returns
@@nicolehervieux1704 Thank you Nicole. You have a good weekend.
I LOVE watching you folk cook amazing dishes!! From Bangkok/Thailand
Mother Earth knew you were planting and decided to help
Oh Guys I get so hungry when I watch your videos as I know you are going to make amazing food. Great pepper planting so will be interesting to watch the growth guys. Cheers Denise- Australia
I'm so excited to see how our gardening does..I still have our tomatoes and chilies in the mini green house..its still a bit cool this week in the low 40s at night this week.. then it's coming back to the warmer nights and days.. still need to plant a couple more potatoes and then my root veggies..carrots beets and such..your garden is my one day garden plan..o and I added rabbit poo and bone meal to all my plants..looking good!.. if I had the ability to start my starts much earlyer they would be as big as yours.. next year..yepp..lol thank you..
You guys work so well together. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're amazing!

New to your Chanel this season. The sheer volume of plants your plugging amazes me. I can’t wait to watch them grow!
Ritz + cream cheese + smoked salmon and a little artichoke heart 😋♥️😋
I really like the way your family treat each other, it’s so cute
Very exciting gardening. We have a black kitty too.. ours is named Radar. Stay well. From Laurel, MD
