If yall can afford it freeze drying tomatoes and blend them up into tomato dust. Stores in jars much easier and a couple spoon fulls and some water ya got some tasty soup
10:00 Such a beautiful way to embrace self-sufficiency! It’s incredible how every bit of land can be utilized so efficiently. Definitely taking notes for my own garden.
Your broccoli is incredible. The heads are huge! 😅
floating row cover or a mesh hoop house will keep those cabbage mods off your plants
This makes me miss warmer weather so bad! great content guys!
Great video what size of your up pot for your tomato 🍅
What do you do about deer?
Not peppers but summer squash and zucchini I used to love them and now they taste like trash, I can’t even eat them anymore.
Thank you. Great job 👏try eggshell for yellow leafs or fertilizer, sugar, rice vinegar should help
Bioneem. Grow butternut and acorn on a trellise hanging.

Colors are great for a garden mainly for the reason you said which was ease of picking. My next requirement would be flavor. If the bean is fluorescent orange but tastes like water there isn’t any reason to grow it. lol. Great video though. I love seeing how others lay out their garden.
So nice to have a partner that does this with you.
❤
After covid I hate peppers and onions but I still grow and pack peppers.
this video really helpful for me. so thank you. and I hope you will continue create more agriculture related video.
Where are you located??
Since tomatoes don’t like to be rained on, do you treat for fungus right after it rains?
The worms in the raspberries come from a invasive fruit fly called spotted wing drosophila (SWD). They lay their eggs/larva in unripened fruit. Hate them with a passion and yes they enjoy the cooler shaded parts of the plant. The most effective ways to battle or treat SWD is to make traps with sealed cups and apple vinegar, a lot of good youtube videos that show how to make them. The other way is to keep up with harvest and dispose of bad fruit away from your patch. Great video and good luck!
Potato greens looks soo yummy. We make potato leaves veggies and it’s soo tasty
I really like your garden, the cauliflower plants are so green.
How do u keep the food from growing bad ? And how long can you get them to last (without spoiling?)
Tell ur husband that Rubar cobbler is my favorite mix with strawberries in the cobbler and when hot put some vinella ice cream blue bell brand lol sorry about my spelling
Try ruby red lettuce for summer . It shouldn’t get bitter
LOL. I had to say away from my seed sprouting mix. Yesterday I planted more that 250 pepper seeds among other things. I know I will be sorry when I have to pick and procces the veggies and fruit. The worst part is going to be where to store it. All I can say is my withdrawals from little green things is bad
Awesome video!! Thank you for posting!
4:48 This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing such valuable insights!
Powdery mildew wont harm your zucchini plants. Great job guys!
I’ve watched this video maybe 5 times in the past year🤣 rewatching now to cure some of my spring fever👏🏽🤍
I feed squash plants the whey I drain off of my homemade yogurt. They love it❤
Very Very good
I sprinkle cinnamon to prevent fungus & mildew.
Wow, yes , covid messed my husband, and my sons taste as well!
Crazy!
Great video!
Great video! just wanted to say the audio is amazing quality, your voices are loud and clear it’s makes a big difference in you overall video quality when we can hear. 🌻❤🌾
Covid messes with your taste buds. Get a pack of nicotine gum and chew a half piece twice a day for a week or so. See if that helps. Check out Dr Brian Ardis.
Hi I’m feom the Caribbean, do you add water to the milk?? Never heard that but I’m curious.
Inspectors call that black heart, when the potato has black center.
That’s definitely more than an 1/8 of an acre.
I’d love some advice on seed brands you prefer, please! 😊
Hi there, I love ketchup. However, after COVID, I cannot taste ketchup at all. My brain knew it was ketchup, but it did not have flavor. Also, I cannot taste hot dogs and some cheeses. Also, I cook to taste. So, my salt sensors are overacting, and what tastes salty to me tastes completely bland to others. So, I have to tell people to adjust the salt amount as needed. COVID truly messed up my taste palate.
You you both work.
Teaching your babies is such a blessing I wish I would have paid attention to my Great Grandfather when he use to garden…
With your cucumbers maybe try floating row covers for the first couple of weeks until the first blooms appear. When I was in Delaware I could direct seed them under row covers (you can use transplants too) and then go with a copper fungicide after the covers came off. If you have super heavy insect pressure you can actually pollinate the females (the flowers with the little mini cucumber at the base) by picking a male flower and…well, you know. Just reapply the row cover afterwards and they should stay safe.
Just found you … my husband had the same issues with peppers after covid
I don’t use sprays either. For the white worms in Raspberries soak them in a mild salt water brine for at least 5 minutes. Cover with at least an inch of brine, giving a good agitation 2-3 times to get the water completely through the berry. The worms will come out and float on top so you can pour them off. Then give a good cool rinse and maybe a quick soak if you want.
Loved watching your video.. I want to buy some land to start growing my own vegetables…
Thank you, Michelle!
I also had covid 5 years ago and peppers don’t taste good but cucumbers and watermelon taste horrible now, and I love a good watermelon!! Very disappointing. I enjoyed your video.
1st step – buy property to plant the garden.
I saw a trick with stacking carrot in. Layers. Of sand without allowing them to touch. Dig up don’t clean. Lay in sand layer full no touching together. Repeat and finally cover. They last a long time.
