Just found your channel and subscribed to it. I've collected many windows as well to build a greenhouse like yours. I'm looking forward to watch your videos. Greetings Heidi 👩‍🌾💕

Thank you for this very special and beautiful video of the progress of you beautiful garden.🌲 🌳💚I adore your goats! When our family was younger we used to breed and milk goats (for our own use only.) They are intelligent and loving animals. I love all the plant choices that you have made. Everything looks healthy and colourful. You have worked hard in your garden.💚

"You only learn from doing". Reminded me of a favorite book (if anyone is a reader) Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stuart. I don't do any big organized planning either, yet it evolves. Truly lovely what you are evolving there. Thanks for sharing.

Elinore Pruitt Stewart was my grandmother. You may have seen a picture of her and my grandfather in her garden. She bet him he wouldn’t find a single weed in her garden. In the photo she is grinning with her hand behind her back because she found one while he looked.

What a transformation! I love all the gardens you made, and I especially love how one of your goats was lying by the door like a dog. You’ve done so much work, and your gardens are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful transformation! You mentioned that you have walnut trees... will you please share which plants are doing well near the trees?

@darciatfeatherwood 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! And based on what I have growing and have tried, echinaceas, rudbeckias, Culver's root, ironweed, monarda and liatris have all done exceptionally well planted close by. I've had seed nepetas, hydrangeas, peonies and a few others suffer being nearby. I hope this helps!

I think it's my audio, still trying to learn all these things!

@dawnback 6 ай бұрын

when you said you cleared an area and it didn't have anything important and you mentioned honeysuckle, you lost me. If you are pulling out things like Honeysuckle that is medicane then you might need to do more research to sustain your homestead.

@darciatfeatherwood 6 ай бұрын

In this context I am concerned more with invasive plant species and tatarian honeysuckles are incredibly invasive in my area and don't provide any value to the local wildlife and ecosystem.

@breeking3333 6 ай бұрын

Lonicera japonica aka Japanese Honeysuckle is a China native and is an invasive plant that covers and chokes out areas where native plants in North America can’t grow. Native plants to each person’s geographic area are what our insects need to complete their life cycles. See research by Doug Tallamy on this topic. Good job tearing out the honeysuckle. I in fact just spent my day doing that yesterday.
