Gardening Simplified - Polve's Organic Farm
США
Добавлен 10 июн 2019
My wife and I are longtime homesteader, and have raised cattle , hogs, and chickens in the past. We primarily focus on gardening and being more self-sufficient. I'm located in the piney woods of Northeast Texas, zone 8, but the information given on my channel will be helpful, wherever you live.
My channel is about making farm life and the gardening process simpler. I believe that the more you know about how things grow, the easier it is to grow them. .
I show regular garden tours and update, to show the progression that my garden has gone through, and my successes and failures.
You can expect to see information on growing plants from seed to harvest, seed saving, preserving harvest, and anything else garden related. Also, you can expect helpful hands-on projects, and farm and homesteading information.
Make sure you subscribe and hit that bell button, so you will be notified every time I upload a new video. Thanks for stopping by.

I loved this!
That audio was bad with the background sound
As much as that black plastic cost you could just buy the produce
You're right, then I could pay the money that I saved, and then some to big pharma. If not for the ground cover I wouldn't be able to grow the volume of produce that I grow. We would not have enough time to keep up with weeds. What is your time worth? What is your health worth? When you gain the knowledge of what is in the processed food you buy, and what is chemicals are used on the produce you purchase, you would know that you can't justify the cost of not spending the money to grow your own food. I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the $12000.00 greenhouse. I know exactly what's in my food. From the seeds I plant to the crops I harvest. The excess I grow more than pays the cost to increase my overall production. I don't get rich from farming, very few do. But my customers at the farmers market appreciate the effort we make to make quality produce affordable to them. My goal isn't money, it's help humanity doing something that I love. Wouldn't this world be a wonderful place if everyone thought that way? As a final note, my wife said putting down ground cover was one of the best decisions we made.
I'm not sure what's worse micro plastic in my food that mimics estrogen or big pharma@@gardeningsimplified
@@gardeningsimplifiedthat's Americas biggest problem they put a made up number that a bank sets to what their time is worth. My time is free black plastic costs money
@@KevinHillier-ru5ppYou can avoid micro plastics.
@@KevinHillier-ru5ppIf your time is free, I want two months of it. I guess they don't have to give a paycheck at your job. I know the value of my time, and I've wasted enough of with someone who doesn't.
Can you mix veggies together? I would like to do a vacuum seal mix of blanched broccoli and carrots. Thanks!
Yes you can.
Freeze dried watermelon is my favorite summer treat!! Thanks for the reminder to pull the seeds!
Howdy friend Thank you for this amazing video God bless you and your family ❤️🙏❤️
Omg don’t eat the cucumbers!! They’ve had a recall.. I’m not sure how that works when you’re growing your own unless the seeds came from the same manufacturers, but Google it .
Growing purple hull peas for the first time this year!! Hoping for a fall crop of peas this year too! I’m in 6b-7a, I overwinter my citrus in a heated garage- it IS worth it!
Thank you! Over run with cucumbers right now- and I’ve canned enough for two years! Putting that freeze dryer to use!
What zone are you in?
8b
What is the name of the paste you use for the root to grow
@@ChaiVang-w9e Garden Safe Take Root Rooting Hormone, Promotes Rooting, Grow New Plants From Cuttings, 2 Ounce a.co/d/hRI3xpg
Did this brand work? Because every body is saying only to use yhe brand name surround which is very expensive please let me know
Kaolin cray is the top quality clay used to make pottery. This brand works great. I probably need to reapply it more often during the wet season, but I still had great results. Very little pest damage.
Thank you again for a nice video!
Espalier tree, look it up! Happy gardening :)
Is it the same reason that Japanese beetles attack?
@@wendyburston3132, I think it's one of the reasons. One of their food sources is aphids, which attack plants when they are stressed. Once they come in they multiple and turn to other food sources that include plant leaves and beneficial insects. High plant sugars should help destroy their life cycle.
@@gardeningsimplified thank you
Thank you for this video! I imagine you’ve been gardening most of your life! We could sure learn a lot from gardeners like yourself
@@vickiwestlund1837, Even after gardening for nearly half a century, I'm finding out new ways to do it better. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so so much for sharing this!😭 I've had so much trouble with this pump at work, and i just couldn't remove the gunk from the small window no matter how many times i changed the oil.. My drill is not long enough, so I'll have to buy an extension tomorrow 🤞 I've already removed the black piece on top and it was filled with brown gunk 👍
What brand knife is that?
There's no brand name on it. It looks like a old butter knife with a flexible blade. My grandmother had one like this and it holds a razor edge. They're folded steel, and the only place that I know you can one is a thrift or antique store.
I am gonna try this is it work? Love from pakistan ❤
New subscirber.. Very helpful information. Had my first FD delivered yesterday. I'm counting down the 24 hours until I can use it. 😅
I think they are worth it, even if only for saving leftovers. The cost of freeze dried foods is outrageous.
Great tips thank you
I have experimented with planting elephant garlic "corms", the small nodules that develop on elephant garlic. The germination is VERY slow. I only had 10% grow and it was three years after being planted. I saw an interesting RUclips video where the gardener clipped the pointed end tip of the corm prior to planting. He claimed to have success at germinating the corms. They then grow a single bulb the first year, which can be replanted to produce a full bulb the second year. I will have a new method of experimenting this fall with the corms! Thank you for your video about harvesting and curing elephant garlic. I will try your method this year. In precious years, I dried the entire plant and had success until last year when, unfortunately, the bulbs were not sufficiently dry and developed mold during storage. I suffered a loss of over 50% of my crop and don't want that to happen again. Additionally, hanging those whole plants was cumbersome, to say the least. I guess in gardening, as in life, when you know better, you do better! Thanks again!
I made 20 for 20 putting them out figured I gotta try..
🙋🏻♀️ I don't like it hot.
I’m so envious of your herbs!
I planted several seeds last month before the heat. Beans, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, cantaloupe and Okra and only okra spaghetti squash and cantaloupe germinated and they are doing poorly. 103°
@@Lvaladez114 I have to water my beans twice a day this time of the year to get good germination.
I appreciate your update and encouragement ; just found your channel. Late planting quite a bit myself and fixing to start some cabbages…
You sir should keep making content, I like your pace.
Why don't you dry out the green tops and sell them or sell the green tops fresh to resturants for garnish etc...or cafe...😅😢😢😢want a waste big time...😮😮😮
We do freeze dry some of our green tops,but as with everything else, we only need so many. I don't waste my time with restaurants. Nothing goes to waste. The leftovers are composted.
How much fo you sell your Elephant Garlic for at market?
$2 each.
That is low for elephant garlic. Here in Canada, some places selling for $7 Can each
Love this ideal I don’t like to waste God bless you and your family 🙏♥️🙏😊
I’ve never heard of American Beautyberry You made beautiful jelly God bless you 🙏♥️🙏
Your celery powder is beautiful green color God bless you and your family 🙏♥️🙏
Love this! I’d love to see how you use it! I also put tomato skins in my freeze dryer!
You said “this time of year, but you’re the only one who knows what time of year you’re recording this…
Anyone that took the time to look at the description knows when it was. Every RUclips video shows the date it was posted.
Right, I’m simply suggesting when you make the video… Instead of “this time of year”, you could simply say Sumer, spring, fall, winter. Just a suggestion. Didn’t mean to trigger you.
@@robertoayala9203I wasn't triggered, it was a simple logical statement, that the time this was done was right there in the description for anyone that was interested
16:26 love the set up!
Looking good nice tour
Ive run 2 batches so far, I am very impressed and now I need to learn nore so I subscribed, thanks for taking the time. Oh and I got it to preserve eggs cause we were drowning on eggs. Problem solved 😂
Looking good
Hello!! From North Missouri!!! I have a question about your chopper. I looked to order one and could not find one with the slicer like French fries. Do you have a link for that particular chopper that comes with a French fry chopper?

Can you freeze dry the leek leaves to make leek powder
I freeze dry leek, and it could be powdered. We don't use the leaves, except from the younger leek plants.
Nice.. have a batch of diced ripe mango running now.
You are a Purus Fiduciarius
No
Beautiful fig trees 🌳 😊
What temp do you freeze dry them? How long do you freeze dry them? Lol would have like to see your control panel when you start them
The tray temperature is set at 125°. I add 10 hours extra dry time to insure maximum moisture removal. The total amount of dry time depends on how heavy the trays are loaded.
@@gardeningsimplified Thank you so much!!! My kids are going to live them
Thank you so very much for your explanation of the cucumbers - pollination etc. Really love your channel knowing that you have sooooo many years experience which shows by your beautiful gardens. I have so much to learn. God bless you and yours.
I love the brush invention! 😊 And who doesn’t love potatoes?! 🥔
Mixing the red and white looks so pretty Well done on the potato washer God bless🙏♥️🙏
Thanks. I harvested some small potatoes today
This is so inspiring! I've watched you for a while and picked up on the importance of fertilizing from you. I was never really consistent with that before but after seeing your results and also noticing other channels and all the types of fertilizers they use I ordered a bunch!😊 So everything that's been planted so far has had a boost put on the ground first. Hoping and praying for good results. Happy gardening... Don't wear yourself out! 🙂🇨🇦🙏
