Thanks for filming Shawn. 😁👍🏼

Forgot to mention the bees!! Who would have thought this possible 7-8 years ago when you started the first cabin. 😊❤👏

Wow Shawn, amazing what great permaculture/biodiversity you’ve developed on that land in 4 years. First year yield was great, 2nd better, 3rd w/Emily and your wife’s help terrific, and now THIS 4th year and it’s only first week of June!! SO impressed, I have no words, except loving the comfrey and lupines. You’re pure genius and once you add chicken poop it will be even more phenomenal!! Thanks for sharing, and as always, take care. Can’t wait to see the “Fall” harvest!! Oh sorry, YES, I CAN as I want to enjoy a warm summer working hard on my own garden, with lots of tips from you!! 💯👏 I’m not a 7-8 month winter old gal fan so still adjusting to life in Idaho after 25 years in Arizona but work 9months amending clay soil here organically. 😂❤

So glad to see your latest videos where you are well.

Just plain awesome!

I had comfrey in my garden but I removed it was taking over my garden, I am still picking it out of there. Comfrey is a healing product can make salve correct?

Nice soil management.

Beautiful Garden

My wife make a comfrey salve that we use on sunburn, minor cuts and bruises and it heals them incredibly rapidly.

Love your channel, your motivation. God bless you.

Keep doing what you’re doing to take care of your family. It’s beyond inspiring. Ahead of the sheeple curve.

Chickens will eat and poop out alot of minerals.

The great thing is if you use the deep litter method in your coop you will have plenty of composting materials to help your garden

Personally, I would add closable louver shutters to give the option to close (temporarily] the front opening yet adjust air-flow for additional protection from adverse extreme weather.

The awesome thing is now you have chickens to add to your biodiversity. They will help compost all of scraps and turn it into awesome compost and eggs.

👍great video

Why did you remove the oak tree?

Very good thank you my friend

I put in one comfrey plant last year. This year it’s enormous and the pollinators are all over it. I’ll follow your method of chop and drop once the flowers are spent. Good vid, nice garden.

Meyve, sebze bahçesine arı kovanı koymalısınız artık. Zamanı geldi.

All is growing so well 🌱you do know about medicinal benefits from comfrey… ☮️🇨🇦💜

I was really surprised that Lupine can survive your environment. I thought it could only thrive in my area. The soil around my area is volcanic. An extinct volcano is 2 miles from us. The soil is rich with a dark brown color. No clay when digging deep. I do the same as you in keeping the branches and leafs on the soil after trims. And it has made for a richer soil over the years. Natural composting is really neat.

My son started using mushroom compost on his gardens and everything is thriving.. veggies and flowers..🌼🌺

I have little Mason Bees for pollinators. If you get stung, it's not much worse than a fly biting. And they pollinate just great.

merci JAMES

I grew up just like this. How stupid am I not to realize this is the way. Watching you reminds me of working with my grandfather. He taught me so much and I didn't realize that it is the best way to live I thought it was just going to be outdated. That was very foolish of me.

I see your bluebird box but it is too close to the woods. Wood wrens will take it over and fill it with twigs. Put two bluebird boxes together in the center of your garden, 10 feet apart and facing each other. Tree swallows will take one and leave one for the bluebirds. They will tolerate each other and keep other birds (like house sparrows) away.

Hello Shawn from Long Island NY. I'm not sure where is more appropriate but I had asked on your other channel if you keep bees and/or if that is even something you have considered. I don't really know how difficult it is or is not to keep bees or if it's even possible in Canada during the winter. Just a thought since I know they're vital to a healthy and thriving ecosystem and they're endangered now. 🐝😢 Also I was wondering how you would feel about growing a plot of milkweed in order to attract 🦋Monarch butterflies which are beautiful, critically endangered, and one of the world's most impressive migratory animals. Not to mention add more biodiversity and a safe haven for what are now sadly becoming rare creatures. I have no real inclination if these ideas are of interest to you or even realistic pursuits given the level of work you already have cut out for yourself. I love the channels and everything about them by the way, been an avid follower for at least a few years now keep up the great work!

Your efforts are not unusual Shawn. Seems like you are doing a good job. Don't worry about the nay sayers. Stay positive and make good gardens.

Do you have a bat box? Bats eat insects. Cindy

Psalms 20:4 "May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed."

The words "prepare," "preparation," "keep watch" (and the like) appear over 150x throughout Scriptures of the Bible.

(1 Tim. 5:8) "But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."

Father God, You know that we live in a crazy and chaotic world that makes fear soar. You also know my struggles in my daily life. When life gets to be too much, please help me come to you. Calm my thoughts and emotions and open my heart to your peace, comfort, and wisdom. Help me not to live in fear. Please reduce the feelings of fear and anxiety that plague me. Help me rest in You and trust You as I navigate through this broken world. In the precious name of Jesus. Amen.

I have enjoyed your videos for years but they keep getting shorter. Many cannot afford to pay a fee to watch your videos and need to buy food instead. We all need to eat and I understand and disappointed at the same time.

Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I understand that the Lupins are great for adding nitrogen to the soil, So, although a bit invasive, they are of great benefit. Also the seeds are supposedly eatable. I remember seeing an entire field of lupins, near an access point to the Bob Marshal Wilderness, in Montana, that and "Fire Weed, everywhere. The place looks better all the time. ;-)

Beautiful garden. 🙏❤️👍

💖❤️😇💫❣️💙♥️🤍💜

You could feed the chickens that comfrey 🐓

I noticed the bumble bees on the video from your other channel. We have something similar in RI, but they don't have that orange stripe on their bodies. Interesting! I've been stung by just about every variety of bee and wasp there is in my 71 years but never a bumble bee. They are definitely not aggressive.

Shawn been with from the beginning even got into a argument with you ex neighbor. Stay the course its been a amazing journey. But i can tell you banks are getting ready to collapse very soon. We're heading to the QFS gold standard

This guy's gone bonkers

SHAWN & OUR CALI this is what I do also with my garden !!! It Helps on out giving to it rich soil that it needs !!! Have a couple of buckets of cow manure every fall time to sit for over the winter month !!! That is turned over with fall leaves also !!! Neighbors don't like it but I do & it is hiding in the backyard for myself to use !!!When I am able to burn I use the ashes to add to the manure pile then also !!! ALSO I learnt this from another channel you peel the potatoes and throw those on out into a composted pile they will come up with new potatoes if they want to grow !!!

Hopefully we will survive the whole disaster we are in for the last 4 years .

❤

Even England call that plant a comfrey. I do not know what we call them in Sweden or Norway, but I have some in my garden, never seen them before I moved to Sweden.I asked what they used it for in England and they say it was very good for fertilizer, they soaked them in water for a while and used it like stinging nettles or pee.

BE BLESSED🛐

BRAVO JAMES...we still wait for to see zour chikens...it is impresiv how rich is the greens up there ...thank zou for the video..have a nice week end
