Welcome to my zone 3 Minnesota garden in September! This is a unique gardening season for me because we just moved to our new 240 acre homestead, so I'm adjusting to the new space and soil here.
Garden planning is the most essential part (it will really make or break your season!), but I know it can be very overwhelming. I'd love to help you prep and plan your garden with my comprehensive course "How to Plan a Garden: Step-By-Step"! Check it out here: learn.thehomesteadingrd.com/g... and use my code "GARDEN" for 10% off! See you over there :)
If you missed my July & August garden tours, definitely go check them out!

I've been looking for zone 3b gardeners so very excited to find you!

I use cardboard on my paths, and cover with mulch. Works wonderfully

You really got a lot of plants in that garden, and organized everything well. Will be watching your videos, I'm in zone 3, S. Alberta.

I would love to have a bountiful garden such as yours but I am too afraid that I would neglect it, gardening is hard work and sometimes I just don't feel up to going out for maintenance, although I enjoy planting. I plan every year but nothing goes at planned due to weeding and other volunteer plants that pop up, as well as deer, rabbit and bird attacks, they have to eat too. Now I have to plan for a fence for the garden.

Hi there, great video. Just a tip about your leeks. Don't pull them up, but cut them off leaving a couple of inches in the ground, they will regrow. You may have to protect them over winter especially if as you say it gets down to negative 30. Alternatively if you have a greenhouse / poly tunnel, then you can pull them up, cut 2 inches off the bottom with the roots and replant in the greenhouse to over winter them ready to plant out early next year.

@thehomesteadingrd 10 ай бұрын

That's helpful, thank you! However, I wonder if they'd survive -30F, even with protection.

I’m also in Minnesota but zone 4b and it’s nice to finally find another Minnesota Gardner! Will you be digging up some of your herbs to overwinter indoors?

@thehomesteadingrd 10 ай бұрын

Awesome! I usually don't since a lot of them are perennials (thyme, oregano, mint, sage, etc.). I've tried bringing rosemary in (it doesn't survive the winter here), but it's one of the few plants I can't keep alive indoors! I do like to bring in parsley - that one does well.

@thehomesteadingrd 10 ай бұрын

They sure are! I'm leaning more and more into these long-form videos - it's so hard to teach anything with only 60 seconds (and especially with IG favoring 7 second videos...🤪)

You brought your knowledge and experience into a new place. Was this garden low or high maintenance compared to your previous garden?

@thehomesteadingrd 10 ай бұрын

I would say high maintenance as far as the initial weeding goes (I didn't get the straw/cardboard down everywhere until late July and the organic straw did sprout and required a first weeding, but then it was fine), but low maintenance in terms of everything else! My previous garden had VERY sandy soil, so it was hard to keep moisture and nutrients levels up. Things are growing better here, even on year 1!

@5kidslater1 10 ай бұрын

I just moved across the river from the twin cities in Minnesota to north Hudson, Wisconsin. My new home has an inch or two of dirt and then nothing but sand, lol. So to transfer my perennials I had 12.5 cubic yards of garden soil delivered and paid kids to wheel barrow it over to a quarter of my yard, up to a foot deep in places. The perennials are very happy. I’m looking at the next quarter of the yard which I may make a “little fruit tree“ orchard or grow veggies in ground or both. Can anything be grown in that sand? Fruit trees? Veggies? It’s basically a beach without the benefit of a lake, lol. It does have some grass in it, although it’s kind of sparse. Or maybe do I get another load of dirt? So glad to have found your channel! Nice to find someone successfully gardening in our frozen northland!

@@5kidslater1 hello and welcome! If you're able to bring in some top soil and compost, that would be a great move! I also highly recommend mulching.
