What a blessed childhood you’re giving to your children. They’ll remember these days long into their old age. Thank you for all the work you do to bring us these videos of all your terrific knowledge!

My mom always planted radishes with the carrots. She said the radishes marked the rows and were done before the carrots.

I love that you go barefoot in the garden. You gave this old lady a few tips for peas. Thank you. Blessings and prayers for a bountiful garden.

We also remove all the plants at the end of the growing season to keep the ground pest free. We also have been tilling the garden for over 25 years. Glad to see you also follow the old ways of gardening. This is the way my grandmother tought me and allows us to can many items to get us through the year. Love the gum trick I'm going to have to try it. Happy gardening.

I'm delighted to find another zone 4 gardener! I moved to Montana and everything has been an experiment! Thanks for all your tips.

“This is fun-we should do this every year!” ~gum chewers 😂😂😂

Been gardening my whole life, but I always LOVE watching different methods and tricks and tips. Yours are always spot on!

I love how you just do what you KNOW works well for your land and soil regarding tilling and composting. ❤

a lady after my own heart!! barefoot, kneeling on the ground and hands in the dirt. I thought I was the only one to garden like this. p.s......love ALL ur vidios.

I am in the same plant zone and I have learned so much from watching your you tube channel. I have been gardening for many years and I look forward to digging in the dirt . Thank you so much

This video took me back to my childhood. Your boys tree fort looks just like the one my brothers and sisters built.

Enjoyed thr planting today even though I'm unable to garden any longer. I would love a visit the boys in the woods to see what there up to. Looks fun and interesting! I raised five boys and often played with them as they learned to be creative. Play is often the hardest work we ever do!❤

This is so relaxing watching you plant your garden !! And I can't wait to watch the growth and harvest of your planting!! The boys playing look like so much good fun for them!!!

I love your videos! You are raising those kids like every child should be raised. Thank you for sharing. You are adorable. God is bless ing you and your family ❤ 🙏

I love watching your natural ways and years of garden wisdom. And I really love watching your beautiful children- just be children🙏🏻💞

Thanks for sharing your gardening videos w tips and varieties and results! A great tip my mom showed me (she’s been gardening almost 60 years) she uses a spice jar to plant seeds big seeds a large hole shaker for beets and larger seeds smaller holes for tiny seeds. It works really great! Thanks again 😊

I love that you plant your garden barefoot!!! My husband always chuckles at me cause I am always barefoot so I had to show him your video so he could see Im not alone

I'm new to the channel and live just outside Sioux Falls. I'm excited to have found someone who deals with similar seasons and crazy weather.

I noticed that you all go barefoot a lot, are you grounding? I also love that your boys play outside all day and use their imaginations instead of in the house on video games or watching trash on TV. You are a good and Christ filled Mama!

I agree with you 100 percent, I have tilled my garden for 30 years and covered it with mulch and compost. I always have a bountiful blessing from our Lord. God Bless 🙌

Oh you are amazing you I plant a like I love your family and your cooking is just beyond words you are a great parent yes I move out stove refrigerator. And go after of canned things I empty all out and get jars spotless I love things organized you are a Gody mom loving the children Love prayers love you all I live in Tennessee

I love the way you include the kids in everything, so your heritage lives on. Your boy with their fort reminded me of my brother and me. The first fort we made was weed fort and we had so much fun in it. He usually didn't mind hanging around with me until he'd be with his friends, He was the only boy with 3 sisters, and I was the youngest. My sisters were "to old" to hand around me and they didn't bother with the brother, so he & I were pretty close. Thank you for sharing all you do; you are so blessed.

I love the boys fort in the woods!!!!❤

Awesome Fort Boys😍✌🏼🥰Absolutely Adore your page

Omg that gum trick! Never heard that before! My barn cat usually does a great job with them but I will keep that in mind thanks!

Oh and I love the boys cardboard and stick fort!

I’ve never heard of the gum trick!! I have just learned something new!!! Loved this video. Cannot wait to see everything grow! The boys are so sweet and they really entertained themselves!!!

I'm a new subscriber and glad I found your channel. That is some big space you get to plant in! How exciting! Here's to a great growing season!

in my house detroit beets we love them pickled and eat with cranberry beans or pintos. love them. plus it helps lower your blood pressure. love them.

Hi Ruth Ann and sweet family! I so enjoy your videos, either gardening, chores or cooking. I hope you and your family have a blessed day!

I'm in my 70's and have went barefoot all my life. Now I live in Senior apts and they have rules that you have to wear shoes. I kick them off as soon as I get in my apartment...lol. I see you are in the garden with bare feet...you go girl! We weren't born with shoes on, right...lol. My husband used to tell me that he'd seen cows with softer feet😊. I have super calluses, but, when they get too bad, I have a foot soak that disolves them quickly...

Thank you so much for teaching me so much. I'm taking all this information to apply it this year in feeding my family, with 8 children everything you do applies to my household. God is good.

An old trick to avoid mice eating your pea seeds is to soak them in petrol for a few minutes before planting them. They might take one but they won't eat another 😊

Watching this video is really making miss my in-ground garden.

Thank you for sharing your garden planting video with us 😊 ❤❤❤. I really appreciate 🙏 ❤️ them. Thank you for this wonderful gardening tips and tutorial video 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Very nice fort👍

As always great gardening advice, your garden is just beautiful!

I love that your rows don't have to be perfectly straight! 😂

New sub here (about a week), and I love your channel. Thanks for sharing your hard work and wisdom with others. Wish I had your energy and stamina as there's no way I could plant our garden by myself.

Hubby plants and pickles red beets they are wonderful!

I didn't know about the gum trick for the moles! Great tip!

Super video, loved watching you plant some of your garden

I have to say her subscriber stuff is the best - my favorite by far subscription type of service. Well worth the money!❤

Love watching you in the garden! I’ve got tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and jalapeños peppers, and squash planted so far! Oh yes carrots too!

Your kids are so cute! ❤

I love the look of raised beds and gravel paths but I am still tilling and planting directly in the ground also. Have great harvests most of the time 😊 I did change from overhead sprinklers to drip lines because I have alot of berries. Love your channel ❤

Just love your channel. ❤

Yes God Amazing 🤩 ❤

Love learning from you!

All the time ....thanks 😊

Blessings ❤

Good gardening

Great information. Thank you so much!

I just have a small, urban garden, but my peas, carrots, and green onions already look great! Having a hard time with lettuces, though.

Hi there, new subscriber. Love your channel btw. I will definitely start chewing some gum and have grand kids too lol I hate voles

Good morning RuthAnn! I'm so excited to watch the first gardening video of the season! Question, I have never had a successful spring garden...either I plant too early or too late, how do those seeds survive heavy downpours or below freezing temps?...I have had both instances and mine wash away or die😢 Blessings to you and yours❤

A solution to the voles eating pea seeds which a neighbour suggested is soaking the seeds in petrol (gasoline) briefly before planting them; the voles are disinterested in them and when they germinate they aren't affected by the petrol, ostensibly. :)

Your awesome!

I need to find one of those little green seeder things! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙌🏻

Great video❤

I love your channel! I just found you! ❤️

I went to your(link) your favorite linen fabric company online. It’s nice but they’re closed for a bit. We would like to know the name of the color and style of the exact fabric you used (making your apron) on the video where you show us how to make e your Amish style apron. I sure can’t locate the color and the fabric with the stripes on it. I did look in yarn dyed area and saw some stripes but not yours. all of those had white and a color, we want dark colors to hide the food and dirt that gets on the aprons. Please let all of us know how to order your fabric, there’s lots of us that would like to make our apron with the same fabric as yours, please reply😊God bless you and your family.

I am the same, Bare foot in the garden. I think it is a source of minerals for us.

My husband tills also and has a beautiful garden.

Thank you for a great video. I always wonder when I should be planting. What hardiness zone would you be in? We would be 6b. I have just recently subscribed. Looking forward to trying your sourdough bread recipe.

Hello! LoveLoveLove your KZfaq sight! ANTS 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 Do you have any wisdom on how to control ants.. They enjoyed my sweet cabbage. My crop this year is a loss. Never had to deal with ants eating my vegetables. 😢

I love your videos so much, they are so relaxing!! Do you do any seed starting inside before planting season or do you put them all straight in the ground?

I was taught just like you ..

Is the gum trick specific to that flavor or will they eat any?

I used garlic

Good afternoon! Love following Along with your posts and Insta. I have a question- do you trellis your shelling peas? Thanks!

I will reseed my lettuce as after watching u I see my mistake…mine too deep. ….by the way, what zone are u? Keep these coming, love all u share. .

Wish I could plant right in the ground, but I have a heavy gopher problem. They eat everything. I have resorted to raided bed with 1/4” wire underneath each bed.

I am committing to adding potatoes (trial-as its my first time) and carrots this year. Otherwise we aren't really expanding or adding new. Keeping to crops I'm familiar with and trying to get to know and grow better. Potatoes and carrots scare me though! We tried carrots off an on for years but being more careful this year (the three year old helped me plant last year...we did a lot of baby carrot eating/thinning 😂 ). Love your videos they are so helpful! This is my 4th year gardening in earnest.

today I learned I'm a cold crop lol

When do you start / plant your fall peas and broccoli?

Does every space potatoes grow many potatoes?😊

so when do you add compost or amend your soil?

🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Loved the video……did I see something on insta that showed some of your plantings got vandalized by rodents?

Did the gum work on the critters?

Do you have to keep out deer? We have such a hard time with them.

I don’t do instagram sorry 😞

. Do you use any kind of fertilizer?

Love the dirty faces and feet. Nothing that a little soap won't cure!! This is how I used to play. Interesting about the gum. Makes sense.

thank you! 🧅🍅🫑🍓🥦🧄🥕🍓 i'm physically unable to garden so i really enjoyed joining you this am! see you next week!

Wow Chewed Gum ❤ we have tried everything So excited to try gum ThankYou ✌🏼🕊🤍🙏🏼🥰
