  1. My favorite variety is joan j… Soooo sweet… Big berries… Its going to be a bumper crop this year… Also in the thrid year.. I also have anne yellow raspberry.. My husband loves those..

  2. Raspberries are going to spread into your walk path ….just sayin ..I started with 10 canes from Dad and now I have half an acre ..thanks for sharing

  3. I have watched all of your videos in the last week or so. It greatly motivated me while gardening. I love how your whole philosophy to life seems to have changed. Grind at it. Do not complain. Do not protest or be too ideological. Let your brain and hands work for you. I admire that. It is a well known fact that people are "socialists" until they own something themselves. This is why during the industrial revolution some British companies gave their workers a share in the company. It made them work harder as they felt responsible and felt like they had something to lose.

    I am not much of a vegan or vegetarian. I would not even know what microgreens taste like. However, today I have made a 10 foot bed in my garden with spinach, basil, rucola and salad. Just gathering the data and learning stuff is enough motivation for me. I have done some preliminary market research; where I live, a kilogram of microgreens goes for 90 euros. It is amazing. I think I could produce it for far far less. There are about a dozen restaurants in my neighborhood.

    Time for some competition? I will look into it!

    Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. raspberries are a good crop to sell. It doesn't look like you're doing much to them, but if someone would like to, there is a HUGE market for them because they are not shelf-stable at all and they're expensive to buy at the store and they truly suck ass. This allows local farmers to profit off of this crop.

  5. Damn, why is it that the most interesting and helpful/useful people on YouTube are such extr3me libertarians? Gulch gotta eat son

  6. We need a version of you for where I am in zone 3. In fact, I don't spend money on perennials unless they are recommended for zone 2. Our frost free season is about 90 days. How would you do what you are doing if lived where I live? Also, can you do a video on Hoskap? My plants are growing fine, but they haven't born fruit and they are 3? years old.

  7. I really enjoyed this one, Curtis 😀 Abundance is a fantastic mindset to cultivate and I think you've definitely expressed and manifested that through sharing so many wonderfully helpful videos with all of us, for free!!! I'm still pondering on how I can give more value to people (whether it's through teaching, youtubing, or donating food) from my farm and blueprint, but I'm well on my way.

    I'm sure you've also heard of the Food Is Free project, which was quite popular a few years ago. I love that idea, so long as the people taking are those in need, &/or are those who may also do their best to give back to others. We all certainly need to give up this fear of scarcity vibe that has been so prevalent in our society for too long.

    I had one request, which I totally comprehend if it's not feasible to your lifestyle, but I'm very passionate about all aspects of food, -from growing to selling, cooking, eating, serving to others, etc. I was wondering if you'd be able to do some videos on what you cook and some of the dishes you and your family enjoy. Preferably from ingredients from your own farm, and other local, organic, Canadian (BC :), etc. No biggie if it's not an idea you like. Was just a thought, ….perhaps others are interested too. ?? I think I saw one you did a while back where you were talking about your morning smoothies. But a little "cooking show" or micro-green feast may be interesting…. 😉

    All the best. Namasté

  8. Raspberries are a wonderful fruit.  When I began growing them 5 years ago I went to a commercial grower who sold canes in the spring.  Lee suggested a variety called Autumn Bliss.  They are a modern type.  Most of the old time raspberries you prune out the two year old stalks in the spring and keep the new growth from last year to produce your berries.  The Autumn Bliss is what is called an ever bearing raspberry.  The difference between these and the typical raspberry is there is no complicated pruning or staking the ever bearing canes.  In the fall you simply cut all the canes back to the ground and they grow up new in the spring.  They are just a bit later to produce berries than the standard varieties but they produce right through until a killing frost in the fall.  When I bought my first canes I also bought Killarney, a standard favorite in our zone 5a.  This year I finally ripped out all the Killarney as they couldn't compete with the advantages of the Autumn Bliss.

  9. "Abundant (and sharing that abundance)" mindset – key to a happy karmic life 🙂 Excellent video and great homesteader philosophy, thank You 🙂

  10. You have helped me understand why years of abuse and struggle beat the generosity out of me. I guess, after having had so much taken from me, I started to hoard because I feared that there wasn't enough to go around, and especially not for me. I had subconsciously figured that other people had healthier relationships with the people in their lives and so I had to be selfish just to keep pace with their advancement in life. But I think the "abundance mindset" that you speak of probably is key to how I will find happiness again and go the places I want to go in life.
