    Hello Calico Acres from 40 Shades of Green Farm. We’re most excited about growing pigs this year. We just went at the beginning of the march and picked them up from KC Farms, a UA-cam channel farm in northeast Tennessee. We got a breeding pair. Well almost a breeding pair, the little boar is still a little too young to breed. Great progress on your garden space. It’s beautiful and quite the accomplishment.

    Next year, get packages of onions, I grow red and white storage onions, and Walla Wallas. Plant the seed in a 6-8” pot indoors first week in Feb. I am planting mine now, normally it would be 10 days ago but we have had cold weather still. Peas and onions are not good companions

    The garden 🪴 looks so good already! Great job! I’ve been along from the start & thoroughly enjoy the progression of your garden journey. Strawberry mint has me so intrigued now, will def have to try to find it at our local nursery. My starts are taking over our house, I was a-little ambitious I think 😂 so looking forward to trying broiled Cubanelles from our garden this year (I believe you mentioned those before).

    i love cottage gardens but it's way too hot here to do a true cottage garden but i still try, am currently planting bulbs for winter colour an inspiration I got from another UA-camr called 'monalogue'
    she is in England but her bulbs are stunning!
    i think your chooks would benefit from many greens that humans no longer eat ( that we should still eat) I grow dandelions in my garden, very useful plant & great for eating too; dandelions, plantain, comfrey, chicory, clover, etc; i buy 'Clucker Tucker' which has a variety of seeds to grow for my chooks, think you mentioned something about a forage mix
    'the Weedy Gardener' & 'the Dutch Farmer' both have videos on 'swales' & how to best use them, i found this very interesting.
    you do a great job planting & growing, i would love my mint to grow wild but it's too hot for it to do that, good luck getting yours going, anything is better than grass
    looking forward to seeing your gardens in a few weeks when everything is growing well
    thanx so much for sharing

    It seems you have it planned out for your mint.. let it grow! However I would be concerned with the horseradish there, LOL, those roots will go down 12 feet once established.. and each piece of root left will create a new plant. Since the roots are so deep it will be hard to remove after established. Good luck, everything is looking great!

    • @calicocowacres
      @calicocowacres  6 місяців тому +2

      Just like the mint, the horseradish doesn’t really spread or grow massive here. Our neighbors have been trying to get theirs to spread for years & it just doesn’t. I’m telling ya, this clay is tough stuff😂

    @ClarkRefined 6 місяців тому

    If you want a whimsical sort of orchard, you should definitely look up Floret flowers she has beautiful, natural varieties that’ll make your whole garden look like a fairyland. If anything, you should definitely check out their UA-cam channel to see what I’m talking about. But I feel they have the best varieties for planting if you want to restore like natural looking flowers to the land instead of like a commercial look
