Hey friends! It’s Rachel from That 1870s Homestead, and today we’re diving into some hands-on gardening! 🌿🌱 Join me as I take you on a quick tour of my garden and share some important updates and lessons learned. With the 4th of July weekend approaching, I’m busy harvesting my green cabbage to prevent those dreaded split heads. I’ll show you both the successes and challenges I’ve faced, including a few cabbages that might have had an unexpected visitor! 🐇
We’ll explore my favorite weed management techniques, like using the “chop and drop” method to turn those pesky weeds into beneficial mulch. I’ll talk about battling crabgrass in my pepper and wheat patches, and how effective a good weed barrier can be in keeping things under control.
You’ll also get to see how my other crops are doing-from zucchini and kale to onions and celery-and learn how I manage them all. I’ve got some tips on dealing with early onion softening and strategies for keeping your tomato and green bean plants thriving with proper trellis management.
As I navigate this new chapter of post-retirement life, gardening has become more fulfilling and busy than ever. I’m excited to share my experiences and methods with you, and I can’t wait to hear your tips and stories in the comments. Whether it’s pest management or innovative gardening techniques, let’s learn and grow together! 🌸🌻
Don’t forget to stick around till the end for some fun and practical garden updates. Happy gardening and see you in the next video! 👩‍🌾🌞

I had several cabbages split open on me this year and I just chopped them, washed them, and ate them anyway. They tasted just as good as the pretty cabbages.

My tip for weed control is that when I plant, I take flakes of straw and put a thick layer around the plants and in-between plants . Straw holds moisture, and when the weeds try and grow thru straw, they tend to be smaller and easy to pull. Then I take the weeds and do what you are doing, and that helps also like you say. When I use straw I just till it into the soil in the fall or spring. You will get wheat plants, but I cut them and use them in a craft project. You can also cut the wheat and put it back into your soil or compost it. It works for me. I'm 65 years old and I've been doing this for about 15 years now. Hope this helps. Happy gardening.

Sorry Rachael I refuse to have weeds which are just another chore for me so I have followed Charles Dowding No Dig method in all my raised beds (once established) & have the most amazing WEED FREE garden. I have been happily gardening now for over 12yrs. Cheers Denise- Australia

@smas3256 7 күн бұрын

We also do no dig w. C.Dowding. Onions and soil between beds that are not covered by mulch need to be weeded. A few weeds here and there in the mulched veggie beds. Surprise to me is potatoes in ground that was turned before planting because winter was so wet. No mulch or weeds. First time doing potatoes in ground.

TRY THIS with your carrots. Put your seeds in a bucket/container and add some sand. Mix well. You will now be able to see where they get scattered and it will reduce how close they are. The lighter you cast, the less thinning you will have to do...if this makes sense....

Rachel if you just cut the head of the cabbage off and leave your roots and leaves you will get 3-6 more heads off of it. I planted 6 cabbage plants, cut off and ate 5 of them and left the roots and leaves and now I have 3 to 6 heads growing again on each of the plants. We love cabbage! Love your videos ❤

Rachel I use weed fabric for green beans and it works very well. Just burn small holes where you want them. I put up a tall fence for pole beans n burn the holes on each side of the climbing fence. For bush beans I do the same only i don't trellis them. I stagger the holes. No weeds. If u need to Fertilize during the season I just sprinkle a bit In the hole by the root . The only issue is once u burn a hole your committed..I just use that section of fabric each year for green beans. Same one for potato, onions zucchini ect...my back can't take all the weeding any more and I love this system. Happy gardening. Things look great!!❤

@susieann1217 7 күн бұрын

You could also use some of the large cabbage leaves to stuff in the holes to cover them. Maybe a couple layers of leaves and stuff them under the ground cover?

My (the same) Dixondale slips got a late planting last week in May when my community garden finally opened. Mine are just starting to establish decent shoots now. Gave everything a shot of Alaska 5-1-1 to catch up a little. Re-mulched them after the initial weeding. I like your garden tours. Helps us compare and contrast.

@brianczuhai8909 7 күн бұрын

I use pull-and-drop onto my walkways throughout the year. Let the plants die and dry out and contribute to the soil and mulch. I use triple shredded mulch. $30/yd. in town. I suggest keep covering the planted areas again with decomposed wood chips once the plants have established themselves and after you’ve weeded. The wood chips aren’t going to take nitrogen if on top of the soil. Works GREAT on onions, okra, leeks, beets, corns, and any uncovered row seeded crops planted in soil.

I have reverted to thick woodchip mulch. We did the cardboard like you did but in 3 layers, then we re-add wood chips 8 to 10 inches every other year. Almost completely killed off the grass and weeds. Then planting in the chips in the beds has worked wonderfully.

My biggest weed issues are purslane, lambs quarters and a few I haven't identify. Every once in awhile I pill the edible ones and cook them into my greens pot.

@martharentfro6991 6 күн бұрын

The holes in the weed fabric can be cover by cutting a piece of cardboard a little bigger than the hole, fold it in half, slip it in the hole then spread it out under the hole making sure it covers the ground. The weed with the pretty blue flowers is chicory which puts down a tap root. There are ways of taking that root, roasting it to make a coffee like drink. My kale is looking really good because it is planted between onions and garlic. That was a neat surprise.

@debrathompson2008 7 күн бұрын

My onions did that already too, I think it was like you said all the rain and wind, I had some trying to rot so glad I pulled them because of how hot it is. I know I need to fertilize my onions a lot better next year, mine didn't any bigger than a tennis ball and I was hoping for big ones. I always grow my carrots for my fall garden because if they can go thru a frost it makes them so sweet, they are so good. I did 8-ounce ground cloth and mulch for some of my garden and then did heavy clean straw on my potatoes and at the base of my green beans and tomatoes which really seems to work very well. Pretty girl you could always do a daily planner or calendar on things you hope to accomplish that day, and if you don't get it all done don't fret over it there's always another day waiting. I always enjoy your videos and the info. Happy Gardening and God Bless...

Garden is looking lovely and green Rachel. :) I used weedmat for everything except potatoes. For things like beans and carrots i had the weedmat go up to either side of the trench where I wanted to plant so my weed problem was only about ten percent of the colossal job if i didnt use weedmat. Same with tomatoes because i liked to keep the moisture in under the weedmat and have the roots be warm - i always got bumper crops doing that. Mostly it was about where I wanted to spend my time and with a large garden and lots of other property jobs to cope with, i would rather be spending my time 'tweaking' the garden and preserving the harvests. Only 24 hours in a day unfortunately so have to pick and choose jobs. I take my hat off to you for having a farm stand as well!! And it looks awesome but there must be a massive amount of work to create perfect looking jars of goodies for public perusal.....a bit more than if it were just going on your own shelves.

The only issue with the onions falling over is they can create a thick mat that can trap moisture than can riot your crop. If you can use some type of staking to stand the tops back up, then I would trim them somewhat to prevent too much moisture from building up on the tops while they finish up.

Edited because: Squash bugs, Squash bugs overwinter as adults beneath garden debris, boards, and stones, in garden borders and around compost heaps, in wood piles, sheds, outbuildings, garages, and houses. Depending on the length of the growing season We have crab grass too. The only place it grows in the garden now is where there is no mulch. . No dig garden. Potato patch had to be turned because of all the rain last winter. Not mulched and have no weeds.

The weed is asiatic dayflower. They are edible but yes a real pain once you have them. In China it is used as a medicinal herb with febrifugal, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic effects. Additionally, it is also used for treating sore throats and tonsillitis. Recent pharmacological investigations have revealed that the Asiatic dayflower contains at least five active compounds. (not my info just a quick copy/paste).

I have what we call quack grass, which is a rhizome and very invasive! 😮‍💨 So much work to manage and I learned to never let it b and not manage it because it totally takes over quickly and is so hard to get out! I have a huge yard and use all the grass clippings to suppress weeds and all around the edges of my garden. It is time consuming since I have huge gardens so I wonder if I should just invest in that weed fabric like u have. But like u I just don't care for the look and it's not natural. With that said I do use cardboard in areas where I want a garden space and or clear out a constant weed problem and cover it HEAVILY with cardboard then wood chips then cut holes and plant vining things and hope that in a year I can then make raised rows to grow row crops.
