Building a Chicken Coop - Avoid these 7 Mistakes!
My baby bambo doesn’t need this shit it got a fancy pot and water and sun 🥰 NOTHING ELSE AND ITS STILL ALIVE we are making gardening harder just FOR ASTETICZ YOU HEATHEN 😭 it’s not worth it only bonsais can do that and be the perfect queen of plants and get treated like royalty bye
My yard is awful. Full of weeds & that’s it. It’s green. Anyway, finally starting a butterfly garden & tilled up an area about 20’x 15’. While preparing for seeds (‘cause I’m on a tight budget) a big butterfly came over about 3 times checking me out. My omen.!
That is awesome! Definitely just do a little at a time, and you may be able to snag some plants or seeds on clearance at the end of the growing season! I built up our flower beds little by little over the years, it takes time, but the end result is worth it!🥰
I KNOWw... what plant i need... 😂
🤣
Some reason I can’t keep these alive. Even just lightly spraying.
@sheilahenry7279 I am going to share some care tips in the next few videos, maybe they will help! Trust me, I have killed my fair share before figuring out a few secrets.🤦😅
Love your channel & energy. Family time seems to be always & you carve out some time for yourself
Thank you!!💜💜
I love okra, we also grow one previously. Need to make sure to pick at the right time or else its too fibrous to eat.
That is definitely the tricky part! I tried to fry those fibrous ones before, no amount of frying makes them delicious!😆😅
Okra! My life partner. Okra and I were meant to be together for eternity. It is by far one of my fav vegs.
I agree! Pretty easy to grow & so delicious!
This is a never ending battle in my garden. How do you prevent skin irritation without gloves? I'm so sensitive to the plant
Same! How do they always manage to hide until they are so big?!🤦😆 I grow a spineless variety & I tried a different variety, this year, as well (but I totally forget which one 🤦), even so, they still have some prickly parts, usually it is so mild it doesn't bother me, if I am careful how & wear I handle it. However, I was more careless earlier today, and a few got me in the knuckles. They were itchy for awhile!😆
Idk what zone you are in and/or what variety you grow but there is no way I could let mine go that long before harvesting until it hits fall when growth sllows down.
I was definitely pushing the boundaries with the 9 day one, but they were still tender. Day 4 - 8 was a perfect range for me, this time of year - Zone 6b, BUT it has also been SUPER dry this year!
Love that little rooster!
Me too! Isn't he so cute! I have a few others on my radar to snag in the future (a fun typewriter😍)! You should check out the artist's site, it is Allen Design Studio! I have no affiliation, just love her whimsical designs!🥰
Cool Timelapse
I like this area. It would be cute if okay to get wet, to paint that cement area on the wall by the patio w/ blackboard paint for the kids to draw on.
That is a fun idea! I may keep that in mind for when we build our back patio/deck area! That sounds like fun!
Not a planter but w/ my hanging plant. I have a log about 2’ long rotted out in the middle & one end. My husband surprised me standing it on the one good end & put a gnome inside the rotted center & pulled my hanging plant vines into the open end next to the gnome. I’m going to buy fairy lights. I’ve seen sane type log w/ it placed horizontally & rotten area for bird feed.
That sounds amazing!🥰🥰 I am a sucker for adorable gnomes too!!
Going through that w/ my mom now. My sil & I have made so many trips to the Salvation Army. Nothing of her treasures yet. This birdcage planter is really nice. That wheelbarrow is gorgeous!
It is very hard! Emotionally & physically! Sending you good luck and stamina to make it through! Hopefully, you find some fun treasures along the way!💜
Beautifully designed & executed. Pretty birdhouses are a favorite of mine. They are all over the yard on any posts or poles & trees. I want some solar lights too but that’ll be on the waiting list. Your home is a nice loving family home.
That sounds awesome! I just added a few more birdhouses later in the summer, as well! I hear ya, sometimes it is hard waiting for your vision to come true, but it makes it that much sweeter when it finally does!💜
WOW ❤❤ This looks s a beautifully defined area. The rock pathway outside the raised bed & the trelliss is perfect. What s remarkable yard you have in store ch a short time. I’m binge watching your outside garden videos. The family times of this is refreshing. What zone are you?
Thank you! We have been working hard off and on for years! We have some big outdoor projects coming up (like building a greenhouse & more flowerbeds etc.), hopefully the next warm season? This year we were sticking to some smaller projects while recovering from downsizings my grandmother & while working on building up our channel with more short form garden videos. We are zone 6ish😅
Love this makeover & you could make great trellises using bamboo or willow. It’s all over RUclips. Also an arbor of cattle panels is easy & ch so & would be a pretty entrance to your walkway.
I have seen the carrel panel arbor done a few times, it always looks so pretty when fully grown in!😍
So great to finish looks really nice 😊
It does feel great to cross something off of the LOOOONG list! 😅 Thank you!💜
A very cute and welcoming spot! Great job! 💪
Thank you! Our little bird friends are loving it as much as we do!🥰
Yay the pole got painted and the bird houses 🏘 🏘 are up 🙂Job well done.
Yup, and it only took 10 months!😅 Thank you!!🥰💜
Ive been saving these buckets for exactly this purpose! Thanks for the great guide!
You are most welcome! Happy gardening!! 👨🌾
PERFECTION!!!!!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! 😊
BRILLIANT! I have pesky cats and now I can finally use their left over tubs!
That’s awesome! 🙌 You should definitely give it a go. You’ll be amazed at how much more efficient it is at saving you time for watering your plants 🪴 while you repurpose the buckets! Enjoy the journey!
OMG... I have a million of those Tidy Cat buckets. Maybe we could start a farm.
This video is perfect for you, @bakoresident6302! We had a lot too. We’ve made 3 self wicking planter buckets so far 🥰 Please let us know if you make any! ☺️
I hope you do😊😅
Cool of how they fit in one box
Hi, I'm not sure if you are a professional or not (you very well may be). I'm just letting you know that it's very important to make sure that your milk thistle is the kind that dies off around autumn/fall. The kind that lives all year confuses monarch butterflies because it's the only kind of plant they live on, but they don't know to migrate to warmer climates because the food doesn't run out. I'm no expert either, just sharing the knowledge I do have in case you're not aware. Enjoy your butterflies! 😊
Thank you @alanasmith2788 ! I recently just learned this about "tropical milkweed," as well! Thank you so much for sharing for others, too! Fortunately, I didn't buy this milkweed at a nursery. I have two types of native milkweed, shared from both a neighbor & mother nature spreading it & both types only last the season. 🥰
Perfect!😊
LOOKS AMAZING!
Thank you!💜
looks great! I am 81 years old and used to do things like that with my late husband-- brings back memories-- thanks!
Thank you! That makes me smile @patcummings2276 🥰💜
It's a beautiful raised garden bed and the trellises add the elegance 🥰Well done. Reality is so much more fun to watch, lol.
Thank you! It is my new favorite addition to our garden! We agree about the reality part!😅🥰
Cute!❤😊
So helpful!
No roundup cancer.
Definitely no roundup here! 👍🏻
Thank you 🪲
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊
Am I misunderstanding or something? Because I don't think dish soap, especially Dawn, can be called natural for natural spray. 🤔
It ain't Roundup my friend quit bitching.
A lot better than Roundup though
I love the fun you guys have! Awesome work💕
Thank you!💜💜
It’s a collapsible wire market basket.
Now that was easy! Do you have one too? If so, how often do you use it? 😅
I believe it's used as a basket to collect eggs. Nice repurposing tho.
I thought it was a thing you use to keep caught fish.
You are the FIRST one to respond with a suggestion! I didn’t really think of that one. I know it can be used for a lot of stuff, but I’ve never seen it used for collecting eggs. I think you’ve given me an idea to try it out as an egg basket though! 😆
Man, I don’t know anymore! These are all good suggestions. Funny how we all seem to think it’s meant for something else. 🤭
Nice!
Wonderful use of the shou sugi ban technique and the way you mounted the trellises with the pipe. Really great design features! It is beautiful and useful besides. One of the best things is the love you show each other and the way you work together as a team. Excellent example to follow! Thank you for sharing!
Aww, thank you so much @jeannebee2935 ! We appreciate your kind words! 💜
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thank you, Khang!
Love it ❤
It was a lot of hard work and looks fantastic! Enjoy
Thank you so much! It was, but totally worth it!🥰
Wow,great idea. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m seeing something like this in our future! Love the privacy aspect.
That is awesome!!! Good Luck! It is well worth the sweat equity!🥰
Wow! It’s incredible, and a labor of love.
Thank you so much! It definitely was!
When I saw Tam cutting off the birds I was sad. But he turned those trellises into a work of art. Wow.
April here: I felt the same exact way, Kate & I even questioned whether we REALLY HAD TO, but the end result is well worth it! 🤩
They're fabulous.
Thank you!🥰
