Overall, our first attempt at permaculture vegetable gardening has been a resounding success! Despite being in its first year, our Hugelkultur mound has been producing an impressive amount of fresh fruits and vegetables, with daily harvests. Here’s an update on our leafy greens, squash, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, turnips, tomatoes, etc.

Amazing harvest when four weeks late in planting. Can you tell me how often you watered your Hugelkultur vegetable garden? Thanks
Great job 🙂 You can put plucked squash/tom/pumpkins in a sunny location and they will continue to ripen (leave stems on). I kept a black beauty squash in my kitchen for 9 months before we ate it…stored on a cool & dry location – loved that. I've had to pull totally green pumpkins before frost hit and they continued to turn orange in my kitchen window & were good to eat. I'm curious how your corn did in the hugel mound? 🙂 thanks for the video
Get a humongous tarp to cover your camper van. I did this with a huge 5th wheel and my heating bill was simply two 5 gallon propane tanks the entire winter…11 FEET of snow!! Oh yeah, warming is so happening…gag.
For your tiny camper van, a good tarp will blow you away.
I use hugle mounds for my landscaping, mixing vegetables, perennials, and bug repellent flowers for bad bugs, and herbs too.
Just getting started and I’m very excited!
High intensity lettuce grows, cut and come again ❤️
Great job! Subscribed. Bigger cucumbers have less meet and more seeds. Same with squad and zucchini’s
Are y'all ever going to expand to having live atalk? As well?
god, she's cute…
Wow those green tomatoes would make perfectly good fried green tomatoes just put them in some yellow cornmeal and fry them very delicious
You guys are adorable. I'm so envious and can't wait 'till I can find a house with a little piece of land we can afford and move out of the city. New subscriber here, got interested because you're growing in a similar climate to where I live, gardening in a way I'm curious about. Looking forward to future videos.
Does the hugelkulture mound also need watering? The soil surface looks dry.
Seeing your results I can safely say I am going to become a garden monster!
Thank you for posting this update. I watch you built the thing and the results were awesome.
Greetings from Bulgaria
You have a lot of food and medicine growing around there, in case you didn't know.
Loving your videos! I've hardened for 45 years but I can relate to the first gardening thrills. Ideally, pick cucumbers and zucchini smaller! We all know how hard it is to see all the cucumbers hidden by the leaves. Use the ones that got way to big, to make sweet relish. I have good pickle and relish recipes.
You two are incredibly cute
Growing cucumbers and zucchini in close vicinity to one another can cross-pollinate and you end up with tasteless cucumbers. I learned that lesson in my first year of growing.
Look like you guys have limited amount of vegetable eating insect part reason why the success
its silly how happy this makes me haha…can't wait to try this method in my garden this year!
How often do you water your garden?
Well done guys ,you have inspired me to get to work
4:25 that's what she said
Thank you for the great videos. You both look very happy…. "going on an Easter egg hunt."
8:00 My shirt has been my harvest container more times than I care to admit. It's basically my primary mode.
9:20 I always cut harvest when possible. Limits the risk of disease with a clean cut
Hey.. newbie here… Do you guys have rodents destroying your crop ? how do you protect your crops ?
Now I am completely depressed. You got this kind of harvest in three weeks in northern Ontario? I worked constantly on my garden this year in Southwest Ontario and got nowhere near that one day's haul.
Oh, getting into the hugulkulture thing eh? Pretty soon you will be doing berms and swales, and all kinds of weird stuff 🙂
