Melanchthon Creek Farm
США
Добавлен 23 апр 2024
Melanchthon {‘muh’ ‘lank’ ‘thuhn’} Creek Farm is a small homestead in central North Carolina. Farming has been in our family for generations and we wanted to continue when we built our home. We began with in-ground gardens of vegetables; corn, green beans, squash, okra… you get the picture. And over the years with raising two kids, work and life happening we gotten away from those times. With the passing days, gray hairs of wisdom tend to take root in more ways than one; we decided its high time we get back to being more self-sustainable. We decided to start this channel to document our journeys. We're first to admit we are not experts; we only wish to share our adventures, hopefully be an inspiration and help others. We intend on moving toward a permaculture approach for our land with the addition of chickens, sheep, pigs and other livestock. Join us in our journey as we seek to get back to the basics of living off the land.

Trying out a new tool for unloading material from the truck bed with Harbor Freight Haul-Master 2000lb Truck Bed Cargo Unloader. Unfortunately it would not work without modifying my truck bed cover rail. Hope you can learn something from this video and if you have any questions please leave a comment.

That spinach seed will be a seed to save. Plant that yearly. Good for your health.
Definitely saving but I'll get the wife to collect those...LOL
Good video on saving the seeds.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback
Glad to see you are having some good germination. That’s really good seeds. Hopefully next year I’ll have better success with the flowers I plant around the garden. Mine were hit and miss. The good thing was I had plenty of bees that came in to the garden to pollinate it.
@@deepriverfarm3615 good seeds, better soil. We need those pollinators.
Using the hand rake as a measuring tool makes it easy and convenient.
You’re going to have a nice fall garden.
Nice pile of chips! Those will be great for the project.
@@deepriverfarm3615 was hoping to start this weekend but didn’t get down the list very far
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm I know the feeling. I was wanting to start the coop build out but I had to saw up some trees.
That’s the ticket. That Almanac is on target with the signs and moon phases.
@@deepriverfarm3615 Christmas came early today. Time to start planning vacation around the gardening.
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm that is always a good thing. That helps tremendously when planning stuff
Maybe it will work on the trailer. Could be a major time saver.
If I get it to work on the truck, I will probably get another one for the trailer.
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm keep us posted on this
This is very interesting. Be sure to let us know how it works. This could be a lifesaver when hauling any type of dirt, rock, mulch etc.
I may still cut the bed cover rail so it will work in the truck bed. I envisioned backing up to the raised bed and just rolling it off to fill.
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm that would be great and talk about saving time.
I’m glad that the okra is working well for you. Mine is also producing right along.
I love this 'Papa John' okra
I’ve done the same thing. My target date is also Thanksgiving for some pumpkin pie using our homegrown organic pumpkins.
I planned on planting some Small Sugar pumpkins but read they are easy to cross-breed. But we have a plan for those next year.
Very informative! A lovely garden! Did you use landscaping fabric to line your raised beds?
Thank you for the kind words. I had some old landscape plastic I used to line the inside of the raised beds around the greenhouse and tater boxes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm absolutely! Thanks for the info & please keep it coming! Quite inspiring & educational!
@@crystaldavis9231 Thanks for the support and encouragement!
That’s a great thing to do. Be looking for ways to be more self sufficient. Takes a lot of research to make an educated decision.
I was hoping to do a strawberry ground cover then plant other berries and fruit trees throughout but with those black walnut trees its back to the drawing board.
This is a good how to on pickling okra.
@@deepriverfarm3615 appreciate that… just another way to preserve our food.
You got lots of seed for next year
@@deepriverfarm3615 that was the plan, just didn’t expect them to still be growing after the drought stunted them so bad. Just another testimony for black gold!
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm the BLACK GOLD is a hidden gem. Most people would think we are nuts for planting in it.
Wayne's gotcha tslked into letting em go to seed i see 🙈. U gotta watch him he can be a bad influence on ya 😂. No im kidding he's a pretty good fella when he's sleeping problem is he dont sleep enough 🤣. Nah he's awight. Garden looking great 😁👍🏼
@@CC-Rider4564 gotta save those seeds. He’s a good feller, appreciate all he’s doing. Thanks for watching!
Good looking watermelon
@@deepriverfarm3615 Taste good too 😋
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm well i plan on actually growing some georgia rattlesnake watermelons next year along with some charleston grey watermelons those were my favorite as a kid growing up in california
@@user-kb1bg6jr3r this was our first year growing the GA rattlesnake and we are pleased with them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Rattlesnake the best
@@bigtupholsterygardeningbee4170 we really enjoyed them; our first year growing but definitely will be a staple from now on. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What is the variety of this watermelon
@@adoumpmoussah939 Georgia rattlesnake
Looking forward to the fall planting of carrots, beets, cabbage, and lettuce. We need to get together and do some catfishing
Yes Sir, that sounds good to me
The black gold is looking good. Looks like it’s ready to go. Good and black. You should have a great fall crop!
@@deepriverfarm3615 Thanks! We’re ready to get it going, just waiting on the right time.
Good
Look at that morning mist. All I get in Texas is morning heat.
@@Bremmer2023 it’s been really nice past several mornings but August is not over yet. That Texas heat is brutal!
Squash, bell pepper and tomatoes, all had to be pulled. Still too hot for fall plantings.
@@Bremmer2023 we’ve had a cold front roll through that’s brought cooler thermos the last few mornings but the heat is returning next week.
I’ve got to do the same thing. I’ve left them only because I’m waiting until September plant dates.
These cooler mornings have me itching to get this going but I’m waiting on the signs.
Same. I have to make chicken wire cages to protect my pumpkins from the squirrels.
@@Dandamayn I have some small fencing I may put around my pumpkins this fall, good luck with yours… but I’m probably run electrical wire around everything next spring. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Do the roots on those beans stay shallow, or do they creep below the grass level?
@@Bremmer2023 most all green beans have shallow root systems. I grow in raised beds that are about 8” of soil.
That is some great looking soil.
@@Bremmer2023 appreciate that, mixture of aged cow manure and compost
That melon patch is doing extremely well.
@@deepriverfarm3615 thanks… I was well pleased with the turn out
My trellises held firm during the storm but I also re-enforced it prior to it. My okra did blow over during the wind.
@@deepriverfarm3615 those you build are very sturdy.
This year has been the first year I’ve had in several years to have squash bugs. They were bad this year.
@@deepriverfarm3615 I didn’t have much of any issue until a few weeks ago. I believe it will help next year if I can start seeds early in the greenhouse then transplant as soon as last frost hits.
I bet those cantaloupes are real tasty!
That’s what I hear.
That’s a fine looking melon
The red tint is silt and mud entering the waterway and ocean from the Cape Fear River and other tributaries . It will take several days for that to clear up.
I figured that what it was due to and I’m sure it’ll take several days because of the direction of the storm.
That’s some fine okra there! Can’t beat that type!
@@deepriverfarm3615 yes sir, very fine okra
Yes they are lovely🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@jonrod6902 thanks for watching and commenting.
Mine is loaded also. Going to have lots of seeds
We need to swap some seeds on green beans.
@@deepriverfarm3615 we definitely will do that
You’re gonna have plenty of stuff for the fall and next spring.
@@deepriverfarm3615 that’s the plan, more self sustainable and less dependent on govt regulated sources.
Get’r done! Going to really add to that garden!
@@deepriverfarm3615 with these 4 new beds that’ll give us opportunity to grow more and be able to rotate our crops better.
You getting a good start for the fall and next spring’s planting season. Looking good my friend.
@@deepriverfarm3615 thanks, I appreciate that. Just got to get some black gold to top it all off.
Like what ya got going on. I subscribed, so keep em coming. 👍
@@thepiedmontgardener5453 I appreciate the encouragement and support.
I've never seen a better use for pallets, love it! I also love to see huge watermelon patches instead of lawn.
@@mikehunte398 I appreciate the support, thanks for watching and commenting.
Good video. That rain has helped with a rebound and a second round of produce. Good to hear the watermelon/ melon patch has been a success. Thanks for the encouragement and support.
I was definitely impressed with how the melons have turned out... and I appreciate your encouragement and support for us!
The garden definitely got rejuvenated with all the rain that came in. Big change to the color of your stuff
@@deepriverfarm3615 not complaining, I’ll take the extra produce… I had planned on pulling up the beans and rebuilding the beds but that can wait til it’s cooler.
@@MelanchthonCreekFarm I don’t know how the beans will do on the rebound. I was letting them go to seed. But now new blooms and a rejuvenation has taken place.
Very good, I very like
Thank you for watching and commenting.
The rains have flat out helped.
