The U.K. and Ierland is where most of paternal heritage is from. Scotland, Whales, and Southern England, (Sommerset) mostly celtic. Most of them to America because they very poor and the colonies sounded better to prison to them. I have always wanted to visit your nation. I am related somehow to William Wallace, and others. But many many are, and I am short and I am as my ded would describe himself, 'just a fat little Englishman' (he never saw the U.K.).

We have our own little homestead now and last year got some animals and did some gardening. This year we expanded some, and want to continue to add things as we can. This video was so helpful and inspiring! I really enjoy all your videos and feel like I can learn a lot. Much blessings on you and your family!

I like the 3 sister except although I love sweet corn it does not work in my small garden. Savoy cabbage has the most nutrition over red. Try kimchi similar to kraut but uses chinese cabbage which I find more tender and sweet. I replace corn to potatoes, I plant Viking for early and kenebec for later. I live where there is clay soil so I plant danver half long, I get these from the dollar tree for .25 cents and they do great. Ferry Morris is the company that dollar store uses so they are very good. My wife is from the tropics where sweet potatoes do well so she likes sweet potatoes, me not so much. Green beans "the big Kahona" grows quickllly, also onions, candy, sweet peas, lettuce, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. I also send seeds to Zambia Africa to a church work by a local pastor to help feed the many effected by AIDS. Altough this year since I retired that is more difficult.

You can eat the greens on sweet potatoes, but here they do much better in a greenhouse treated like a tropical plant. Hopefully yours do well! I love the purple and orange flesh sweet potatoes. You can also grow your own slips which makes it very cheap. 1 potato produces 20-30 slips 🙂

So other people in other places have told me it’s different for them. When they grow like I do they only get skinny sweet potatoes and not much. So I guess this is only good if you’re in an ideal environment for them which apparently I have.

I am so happy to have come across your channel, we have a lot in common. We too, tried to grow everything when we first came to our homestead and now we try to plant what we eat and more of the winter staples. Your corn is such a pretty variety, for us painted mountain corn seems to do really well. This spring we planted it again from seed I saved MANY years ago, too many to cont, and because it was so old I planted two or three? in some holes, the germination was so good I will have to thin it out. We also plant a variation on the 3 sisters, but in our rows. We plant a corn and a bean (usually Aunt Emma's dried bean) together then a squash every four hole, it has worked so well over the years, and really maximizes our space. Love the video, you have a new subscriber here.

For me “Tigers eye” and “Painted Pony” are the dried beans that give me the best harvest. I’ve tried many, many, but in zone 3 these are now my regulars. For sweet potato slips, I’ve come to always grow my own instead of purchasing. The time it takes for the purchased slips to recover and start growing again can be used for actual growing of my homegrown slips…but in zone 3 I have to over-focus on time since it is a true race from last frost to first frost. Just part of the fun of gardening!

If you add bee keeping back into your system, look into the Layens Hives (European) with Leo Sharashkin. Extremely hands-of once you set up your hives and swarm traps, also considered treatment-free as it creates its own local (healthy) swarms and therefore an ecosystem that allows bees to swarm/split as needed. This can literally be a 2x year inspection, including honey harvest in the fall. Many, bee keepers have switched from trad. Langstroth hives to these for hands-off reasons.

Such a great farm! As an urban farmer (new identify I'm making my whole personality now lol), I'm extremely jealous of your tools. Stop showing off....but keep going :P

You might find some elements of permaculture orchard design would work well in your layout. Generally, a fruiting shrub would be planted on either side of each fruit tree. For example, raspberries, currents, rubarb or blackberries. Then pollinator, herbal and medical plants are grown besides the shrubs.

May want to look into American Bresse Chickens - they are dual purpose heritage breed meat and egg chickens. That way you can propagate the flock and just cull for meat. 18-20 weeks from hatch to cull 4.5-6.5lb birds.
