Our garden build is done! A mid-summer tour.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2023
- You may recall a few prior videos that are centered on Renee's love for gardening. To date, we've just had a few raised beds next to the back of the house but there is little we could grow there due to the menace of deer that cross our property.
A legit, grown up garden with a fence around it has been on our agenda well before even purchasing this particular property. This dream is finally realized and we are elated to share this milestone with you.
We'll take you back to some highlights of the build out going as far back as April but the conclusion of the video was shot in early July so we could show you the garden in full swing. As I write this description in early August, stuff has grown and flourished even more! In short, we're thrilled with the results and can't wait to give you the grand tour and show a few bits of the build process.
Thanks for watching!
David & Renee

I am a transplant from Acre Homestead. Renee has such a soft spoken voice that is very easy to listen to. Hope she does some cooking tutorials also.
Same here! Renee please do some cooking tutorials for us. 🍽
You are so kind! ❤
Came over from AcreHomestead. We love you Renee! David your detail & depth of explanation is awesome! Great teachers- both of you!
Did one of your recent videos disappear? I didn’t get to watch it!
@@debbiebarnes4688 Our sincere apologies for the temporary technical difficulties. The video is available now.
A milk carton upside down on the young tomato plants keeps them hydrated until they are sturdy - then stake them.
Love seeing your mason jar meals. You're so methodical and organized I love watching you.
Watched Renee and Becky can meals today. And she mentioned y’all’s channel. So glad to join your team.
So love David’s pure honesty “ o crap” lol
Great build & tips for us DIY people. I need to do the deer fence around my front gardens so my food forest isn’t eaten by all the deer! Thanks for sharing!
wow, I came from Becky's channel and both of y'all are just naturals talking to the camera! I love the visual graphics too!! I'd love to see more gardening and hopefully cooking videos!
Welcome!! Thank you for the generous compliments. Watch for an announcement soon about the video categories you just mentioned. We're cooking up something new! More info coming soon. ;-)
Enjoyed your video! Didn’t know you had a channel until Becky mentioned it! Love your garden area! Great job!!!
I did what you just did last year in 2022 and found it was SAD success in the garden. My husband was not on board and this year we tore it all up and started from scratch with in ground beds. One thing We were happy about is having the landscape fabric down all winter killed all the weeds and we were able to start with a clean slate. My husband torn up the landscape fabric. We brought in a truck load of compost from the organic local dairy farm. We planted everything directly in the ground and we are so amazed at the success. In addition to adding drip irrigation and some terrific fertilizer. We didn't toss the metal raised beds. We just added onto the garden and moved them over to the edge of the in ground garden. I found that some things grow better in raised bed. Everything has drip irrigation and that has been a game changer for sure. Good luck next year. Like you said it's a learning curve and as gardens of 30+ yrs. we try new things and learn something new all the time. We had a great successful growing year 2023. Canned over 80 quarts of tomatoes, over 100 onions, potatoes. ect.. still picking....
I don’t think I mentioned it, but I added hardware cloth under the beds. It’s kept the moles out. They still burrow under the fabric, but they haven’t broken through… yet.
This looks fantastic!!! What a great idea with the lights!! I can hardly wait to see what your harvest will look like!! Congratulations on building a brilliant garden!!! I wish i had the room to build something like this!! Maybe on my balcony! Enjoy your day!!
Love the lights!!
Becky mentioned your channel - I'm so glad she did! Great Work!
The fence turned out great. Your trick for stretching the fencing/wire using the EMT conduit was brilliant! Great idea to use the taller posts to allow for the lights as well as deer barrier. Awesome job!
Love the fence stretching hack! You all are adorable, love the outtakes! 🥰
Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Hi there! Becky sent me, and I'm so glad she did.

Just wanted to say you two you did an awesome job together! Turned out so beautiful, thanks for some nice ideas we all can use, you guys are very talented and looking forward to more videos, nice work!👍👍
I just watched Becky’s video today and had no idea Rene has a channel. Binging as we speak. 👍
I just watched Becky’s video where you helped her with pressure canning “meals in a jar”. She mentioned you have a channel, so here I am. I just subscribed!!
Love the heart on the gate!!
I saw you in Becky's kitchen and followed you here! Wow! I love your new garden! It's given me great ideas! I can't wait to see more!
Renee I enjoyed watching you and Becky cook together, I came over to check out your channel.
Welcome!!
Love the lights touch and the garden 😊
You both together ,did a fantastic job .
Kind words. Thanks for watching!
Hello. I came over from Acre Homestead. Great video!!! I'm very happy to be here
Love that you have an appropriate size garden for your family! Makes it realistic for us normies ❤
Popped over from Acre homestead.
Renee was pleasantly surprised to see you start your own channel. Have enjoyed all your great recipes at Becky's channel and can't wait to see what you have going on in the future. God Bless
Thanks so much! More to come for sure!
Hi Renee. I am so very impressed with what you did with your garden. I just watched you over on Becky’s channel and she shared that you have a channel also. I am a new subscriber. Can’t wait to see what else you share.
I am here from Beckys channel , Loved watching You in the kitchen with Becky , so now checking out your channel :)
Having watched Renee ( and loving her!) in Beckys videos I just had to come over and subscribe. Your garden looks amazing and I'm looking forward to more great videos.
Looks beautiful.
Wish I had started with a fence for my garden. I shared a lot with bunnies the first year.
The bunnies haven’t discovered my garden yet, but I think it’s just a matter of time. I’m planning to add some chicken wire to the bottom part of the fence this spring. And I need to fill in some gaps in the gate.
Love it! Such a beautiful gaden. It gives me inspiration as a newbie. I found you through Becky. I even bought the new Ball cookbook because of her tomato soup recipie AND the video you did together on canning meals in a jar. I am recently retired and looking forward to learning these new skills. Thank you :)
You guys did an amazing job loving your garden area. Have faith with your garden Renee nothing is a failure it's a new learning experience ❤❤❤😎
Thank you Cheryl! I love spending time out there. And we have been so enjoying eating the fresh produce we grew! Somehow it tastes better when you have to work for it, doesn’t it? Just harvested my cabbage and planted some more carrots. It would be so great if I can get another harvest of those yet this year.
@@hesaid-sheshed isn't that the truth nothing is a good a homegrown and fresh from the garden, with this years weather I think you'll have great luck with a 2nd crop harvest
Beautiful! 🌺
Hi Renee and David wow the garden looks amazing you both have created a wonderful area. Gardening is a learning process for us all. My gardening journey started March 2020 and I still am learning and trying new things out. In the past month I have got some hens in my quarter acre block in suburbia, that are eating their way through my winter garden scraps currently. With our spring on September 1st planning my vegetable garden for the coming season. Keep going Renee your garden is awesome.
Thanks so much!!
Nice! Thank you for the ratchet strap idea to get the fencing stretched tighter! Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out the best way to add new fencing for a new backyard chicken run area. I'll be donng it by myself, so this will be my solution
Great! Glad to hear someone found that tip useful. Thanks for watching!
Your garden looks SPECTACULAR 🤩. Great job 👍.
Came over from Becky.
Me too! 😊
Same here!
So happy to find out you have a channel. Watched your recent video with Becky. ❤
Love your 22:06 😊garden Rene and David.
I just found your channel. I love your energy guys and the outtakes are hilarious 😂. Much love from the UK ❤
Wow! So awesome to have people watching from far and wide! Thanks so much for the kind words and for joining us! We don't post super often, just when we have something of substance to share. Be sure to subscribe so the next one doesn't get past you. :-) Much love from the USA!
It looks so beautiful ❤
I am new to your channel, via Becky at Acre Homestead. Looking forward to your lovely channel! ~Sharon from Florida
Here from Acre Homestead. Just subscribed 😊
👍
Nice! Love the ❤ on the gate !!!
Thanks! It was a Mother’s Day gift from the kids. It is an old barrel ring shaped into a heart. I love it! ❤
New from Acre…great garden❤
Clever way to make fence tight. The Grow bags in the wagon very artistic and fun. Nice your sons could help. I watch your daughter -in-law's channel always enjoyed when you two would cook and bake together. You look like a great cook and baker. Would you show how to make the pasties and link your recipe. Do you both like to cook meals together? Well done on the garden, both of you
🎉🌺🥔🥬🌻🦋🐞🐝🕶️🗜️.
Hi Sharon! I’m having fun in the garden while learning a LOT! It’s nice to see new things happening in there every day. I think Becky posted the pasty recipe on her website that she just launched. I have so much fun cooking with her! I think we are going to do another video together soon. We’ve just both been so busy!
Your Garden turned out beautiful! Love all the tips and tricks you provide on your Channel. Blessings to you both.
Thanks so much! I’m learning a lot this year!
niiiice
Nice job its beautiful I once had a garden but life got in the way of my fun. I've been watching Becky for about a year and its fun thank you Becky for posting your wonderful mother in laws journey, I see where you hubby gets his good looks from his dad we are all so blessed .
Wow, your garden came out so nice! I love the way it looks at dusk with the lights. Great job!
Thank you! I love working out there at night when it’s cool and turning the lights on. So far, no deer have attempted to jump in.
Beautiful garden!
It looks so great mom! Can’t wait to see it in person 🤩
Love you Sara!!
Just watched you with becky. I've really enjoyed your video so subscribed 😊
I love it! It looks fantastic ❤
Great job! What an inspiration! Thank you!
GREAT garden! Love your creativity! Now that you have the infrastructure, you can keep experimenting each year to test the things you'd like to grow. Great job on the fence!
I planted waaaay too much zucchini and squash. I’ve been dehydrating it and making relish, but definitely don’t need as much as what is coming in. Glad the kids are willing to take some off my hands!
Great job. Everything looks great. Keep us posted.
The garden is lovely. Have fun.🐝🌻
Everything just looks amazing!!! Congrats on getting it done
Thanks for sharing ♥️💪.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗
garden looks wonderful, and so healthy, i love your flower cloggs very creative,i can see you growing more and more each year, well done to you both xx
It’s been fun adding a bit of whimsy to the garden. I’m painting an old table to set up as a workbench in the garden. Lots of bright, happy colors!
I love your garden! It is rustic, intimate and a place I would enjoy spending my time.
The gardens look beautiful. Big job, but well worth it. I appreciate the tips in every video. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful garden!!!! I love it.
Thank you Cathy! ❤
Oh my word wonderful garden! I love it so much. What a great job you have both done. Perfection!
Hi Renee, I came over from Becky's channel I love your jar meals you did with Becky. I also looooooved the pasties, mmmm numnum! LOving your channel already from Noeli.
🌺🌺🌺
That dirt looked great!! Oww is right when that auger got you! Everything looks beautiful!
The auger did a great job breaking up that hard pan clay. I used it to fill my larger grow bags. Added in half compost with it. The squash love it and are really thriving.
Looks great 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Vicki! Need any zucchini???
🤣
I think you both did a wonderful job and the garden is amazing! Seeing that soil when David was auging, I wondered why you didn’t plant inground? It’s so beautiful compared to my dry clay soil. Raised beds do look nice, though, and probably a lot easier to tend. Congratulations! You can’t say you’re not really a gardener anymore. 😂
Hi Cynthia! I did use the soil he pulled up to add to my grow bags, so it did not go to waste. The soil is actually really hard clay and takes a lot of water to even get the grass to grow. And, the moles are terrible! I put hardware cloth under each galvanized bed to keep them out. It’s working well so far. I didn’t do that in my raised beds by the house and they are a constant issue.
@@hesaid-sheshed Oh, how interesting! We don’t have moles in SW Idaho, but we do have an occasional gopher to deal with. Right now I have hired a trapper to trap a marmot(like a groundhog). He ate all my green bean seeds-twice! Ergh! These critters! Glad you haven’t had to deal with any more moles.
Nicely done! A classic example of "mission creep", as you said.
Also, as you're aware, this is Garden 1.0. There will be Garden 1.0b, c, d, then Garden 2.0, 2.1b, etc, etc. That's the nature of this kind of project. By the time the growing season is drawing to a close, you'll already have developed a list of woulda, coulda, shoulda, and can ponder on implementing bits and pieces of the lessons learned before next Spring.
Dean - you are so right!!
🤗❤️👍🏼
I love it!! love that you put down mulch instead of gravel..so much nicer for the land, and heat transference. I love how green everything is too, I live in the desert and we have various shades of dead right now with it being so hot.(115F) we have just a ton of rocks too here...raised beds the way to go. Are you in Oregon or Washington?
Hi Elizabeth! I like the mulch too. And we found a local guy who gets it from an arborist. I didn’t care what type of mulch it was, so it was really reasonably priced. I thought about rock, but thought it might be too industrial looking with the galvanized beds. I think they add a warm, organic feel. We live in Washington. ❤
How about doing similar to Becky and growing tomatoes up the fence? Also, you could grow peaches etc. along the fencing, just a suggestion, well done looks good, and as Renee says it will be enough for the two of you
Hi Stella! I repurposed some of the fencing to trellis the tomatoes. I think it’s hard to see in the video. It’s made it so much easier to prune. Next year, I’ll likely only plant 2 in each bed. It got a bit jungle-like. And I may plant some pole beans too. My tomatoes are taking a long time to ripen.
So cute !! The man talks too much but I like the garden super much.
Thanks for watching!
What size are your grow bags?
Sorry for the delay in responding. I used 7 gallon and 20 gallon. Bought them on Amazon. The 20 gallon were great. They are heavy but were perfect for my squash. The 7 gallon are pretty small. I used those to add color spots around the garden. The 10 gallon would have been a happy medium. Hope that helps!
What zone are you in? I’m zone 6b 😊 our planting in ground is middle of may in central eastern Washington cascade foothills( Leavenworth 😊
Hi! I am in 8a at around 900’ elevation. I will definitely keep things indoors longer next spring and let them get a little bigger and stronger before moving them outside. What did you plant this year?
What is the name of the fencing you used? Where did you purchase it?
Hi tiffanykrievans! Most places just call it "horse fence". We chose 6' tall but thats not quite deer proof which is why we went with taller posts so we could add the single wire up high. We purchased the fence at Wilco but any sort of farm and garden or home improvement store.
@@hesaid-sheshed Thank you for the info. I've seen deer fence and thought this was similar. Yes we have lots of deer so need to find something strong enough while in a decent price range. Loved the video - first time on your UA-cam!
Love the lights!
