I am starting a new backyard garden at a ripe age and post 3 heart attacks. I am thrilled to be able to follow you with your kitchen garden!
Been gardening for years My backyard garden is special to us. Every year we expand that garden making our space more beautiful & edible. We give back what we take from the soil, always no till cover crop as I say to keep it warm & happy when not doing its thing. God blesses us with more than we need & the knowledge to get there You are part of that knowledge & we thank you for not making us feel small. You bless us with your smile, we learn, we laugh, you take us on your family journey & you dont make us feel any different. Bless you
I do that narrating with our feral cats! We have a "gang" with his budd ala West Side Story. They live in a shed at the back so I feel u. Its fun narrating!
Omg I just did that too!! With the pear butter!!!
Yes, yes, yes! How many plastics aren't put in circulation because of these (and similar) videos!!! YES!!! I LOVE it!
Your kitchen garden is so adorable. It is, indeed, a sweet space.
I would definitely recommend the card board over the grass from personal experience. You will be glad you did later.
How are the pipes fastened to the connectors on your shelving/plant hanger? Threaded? Glued?
Haha, I narrate my animals lives also. A very creative thing to do. Love watching and learning from all your adventures.
Reminds me of a quotation I saw about zero waste, 'we don't need a few people doing zero waste perfectly, we need a lot of people doing it imperfectly'. Same is true for gardening
A recipe for your pear butter, would be nice.
It's also abelist to assume everyone can grow things in one way. My parents love gardening, but in 2019 one was going through chemotherapy & the other had heart surgery, so growing like they used to wasn't an option. But growing in a raised bed & a greenstalk worked well with their capabilities.
Since you can't grow greens certain time of year, do you buy that from a store? Or do you go without till the next season?
you only lock your slow cooker when traveling cause pressure will build up if your locking while cooking and it can explode
Why not put your chicken there for a week
You do inspire people. My first video was carrots. I found you and I’m so glad. I believe the universe brought us all together
Crockpot and freezer meals are my friends. I am planning on buying inexpensive 9×13 metal pans to freeze casseroles
Smellovision!
Yay for gateway gardening. For me it was square foot gardening because it took a lot of the guess work out of it AND it promised reduced and easier weeding, a task I detest. Two years later I've learned how to grow a few things, prune for better production, and preserve a little. I never would have thought. My family was in shock when I first got into it.
I vote for the cardboard!!
I wonder if 3 cups of Epson salt to one gallon of vinegar and 1/4 oz of Danny soap or I use Melaleuka dishwasher soap pretty concentrated and to spray down and expose for full sun to a hot day because it definitely kills off my Bermuda unwanted grass in 1/2 a day in Florida and then it’s easier pull the roots out, it definitely kills off the roots 3/4 of the way of my Involuntary growing grass and then maybe to cover and finished it off just an idea. Interesting think is if I don’t pull the roots out just the dry top in a 3-4 months it will regroup regrowing and come back and also combination off nettles comfrey and alfalfa making tea with for 2-3 weeks in 55 gallons of barrels on hot son, 1 cup to one gallon it’s amazing what it does with the craps, 1or 2x a week, my father use to make it for years nettles and alfalfa, comfrey.
Alfalfa was used already in Egypt for better craps.
Regarding the cow my dad use to get hey or apple, alfalfa cubes something she really like to keep her standing as a reward in the beginning and then here and there as a reinforcement, they are incredibly smart but very finicky with what they want to eat or do. I hope that help.
