3:50 catfish LOVE those grubs. used to pick em out while prepping the garden as a kid, then at the end of the day dad and I would go fishing and come home with good fish.

We moved from 3/4 acre to over 17 acres last year and I will say a lot of days I feel completely overwhelmed with the amount of land we have. It’s a LOT of work. Every weekend hold many projects. A lot of them are not really fun. I love our Farm and don’t regret moving here but I don’t think you need this much land to be a homesteader or even to be self sufficient. I think you can be HAPPY on any size homestead!! ❤ Love your videos, your candor and your attitude

Thanks for sharing your experience! I always figured 5 acres would be a sweet spot. Not to big and not to large. I always view my space as a opportunity to see how much I can do, so then one day when I have more space Ill know what to do with it lol Even during peak summer my space can be overwhelming at times so I can imagine how much 17 would be to handle.

@rosabandera_home 4 ай бұрын

Agreed, we're only on 2 acres and it can be overwhelming in the middle of summer when the small veggie garden is producing and the weeds are thriving. There's a lot of landscaping to take care of. It can be exhausting even with everyone taking care of different areas.

I splurged on one pk of Floret bred dahlias and one pk of their rainbow zinnias. They spent years breeding them, so it's such a treat! Their regular seeds aren't typically more than around $5 (other seed sales throughout the year). I'm so excited to see how they turn out, and hopefully save seeds for next year!

Getting me even more excited to start seeds this weekend!! You’re going to LOVE the bee’s choice seeds.. I grew them last year they were so easy, SO gorgeous, the pollinators went absolutely nuts over them, and I collected so many seeds from them. Excited to see what your varieties will look like!

I have the same issue putting soil in my beds. We have wild rabbits, a ton of them, so I need a 2 foot tall perimeter around each grow area. My cart dumps, but at 8 inches. I have to shovel my soil out. But it's still better than having to carry soil bags all over. 💚

@alyssanew6966 2 ай бұрын

I had no idea my first year that you had to get slips from sweet potatoes… so I just threw them in the ground and got a small harvest! hoping I can get more this year with slips instead of chucking it in the garden 😂

@roxannern9393 3 ай бұрын

This is our 4th year growing in our newish home also. We splurged and got 2 beds that are 3.5' X 3.5' square and 32" tall. We will grow white potatoes in 1 bed and sweet potatoes in the other bed. Hoping to get bumper crops. Your garlic is beautiful! I think it's going to be a good garlic year. Thanks for sharing!

I got my onion sets in christmas day. My dads grandfather always did that and as my family has moved less than 30 miles from there it seems to be going on ok. Its my first year trying this family myth but they seem to be doing ok. I dotted the holes, planted the sets, covered them and then put half rotted mulch from the compost heap on top to keep them toasty. (results will follow at the end of the experiment) Update on the onions (about 3/4 weeks off harvest I imagine) unseasonably hot spring and winter. Lead to bolting of most if not all of them as I've been away leaving them under the care of my parents. Resulting onions will probably be chopped on mass and frozen for future recipes post harvest.

It’s actually not steps. They are just cement blocks that are used for gutters I believe. We had them on hand and used them as extra blockage from predators, trying to dig. We have fencing is underneath the ground, but we figured that would be an extra precaution we could put in front of the door.

@brianseybert192 4 ай бұрын

Nice job with the onions, I have always trimmed the seedling while they were inside, just leaving them go this year to see what happens. First year putting my sweet potatoes (same method as you are using} on a heat matt, and they really took off, I had vines appearing within a couple weeks. The other thing that may had caused such good results is I did not cure the "seed" sweet potatoes I had saved. Plan on a video, showing how I treat the sweet potato vines after I harvest off the tubers. New subscriber. Stay Well!!!

Those are so pretty! I had to contain myself during her sale! 2 and 3 years back my onions were the same way. If you jump to last years onion planting video I show what mine looked like in 2022 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob6Pf8ek0tK-mqc.html heres the video. Jump to 4:26 for the short clip if your interested. Last year was the first time I had good looking starts. I really think its giving them some extra space and making sure they are fed a handful of times inside. I always got onions out of my stringy starts so don't give up hope! Some weren't as big but I still got something!

@@itsbreellis yes I’ve watched them. I don’t think I fertilized as good as I should have, but I will definitely fertilize the area they are going. My onions were just so so last year and were about like my starts this year. Next year I want to definitely do soil blocks and use your technique! It does look SO much easier than pulling them apart! 💕🌻

@itsbreellis 4 ай бұрын

Best bet is pick them off. I typically will spend 5-10 minutes daily during a 4-6 week window in the summer. I burn off all the eggs to. if you want to be less hands on, neem oil will work for organic growing. I noticed it would effect my good bug populations though and stopped using it a few years back.
