Hello from Central ⛵⛵ Lakes Region New Hampshire. Such abundance! Well done with the Ruth Stout method! I used that back in the 1970s when I was in my 20s. I had her original book.Yes, I am an Original Mother Earther and still farming and gardening in New Hampshire. Not many of us remaining from that era, but happy to see young farmers carry on. We have many non profit programs in New Hampshire to help teach organic gardening and small farmsteading. I would love a longer growing season here, but I guess that is what 💚 green houses are for :-)
your videos are so relaxing - even though you are working....great to have that kind of peace every day! Thank you!
Glad you’re enjoying !
I have just found your channel and my two thoughts are: it's so interesting and sooooo very relaxing. I really enjoy your work.
Omg! I miss the sounds of summer! Watching this in January is so warming
What amazing growth after just 2 weeks!!
The power of heirlooms!
I love Mexican Sunflowers. They've been a staple in my garden for years. Butterflies love them and the flowers are so sweet!❤🌼❤
I liked them, going to plant more this year
That was an amazing garden to watch grow!
It was a magnificent garden indeed
What does cow 🐄 peas 🫛 taste 👅 like!?
Have you ever had black eyed peas? That’s a cow pea.
Hey thank you from Arkansas . This is helpful.
Thanks Wil 🥶👍
Learn so much from you - thanks for sharing this
Holy smokes - that was fun! Like others have mentioned - as I sit here snowed in with temps below zero - thank you for the greenery and reminder that spring really isn't that far away.
Soon!
Yep, getting my gas weed burner out soon too! Thank you for your lovely videos Will.
I have so much Bermuda grass it's relentless
I fade all my gardens into fruit/nut trees eventually, trees don’t mind Bermuda
we needed that about now..thanks
This video, in the dead of winter here in PA, makes me SO ready to plan my garden for 2024. The food jungle was truly beautiful and wild! 2 degrees here last night but the days are gradually lengthening and I'm excited for another gardening season. Thanks for the inspiration!
It’ll be time soon enough!
Love to watch your vids! Kitties are bullies...😂
This garden space got me thinking about companion planting regarding heights and weed suppression. Nothing seems to like growing with sunflowers, but maybe because I plant them so close together (8”) to create a bunched effect for photos.
We didn’t plant them that closely they made an excellent trellis for the cowpeas
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens Yes, I need to plant mine further apart for trellising. I planted them with cucumbers and cherry tomatoes last year - cucumbers weren’t happy but cherry size tomatoes loved the extra support.
The best okra around!
Seriously tho
Great video! It’s a joy to see while staying in out of the cold.😊
I do the same for sure, o to have the warmth again
Bermuda lady here! 😂
I'm doing raised beds this year, with mineral tubs (a friend gives them to me for free😉). I had told you that I covered my yard with Dewitt commercial grade because I have a terrible Bermuda issue (mine is about 8" thick in the ground). I'm hoping I can do inground in a few years.
I had a silage tarp on an area for 2 years. Took it off last year and within 2 weeks, the Bermuda found its way to the surface! 😲
I'm tired of fighting it.
Side note: I tried burning mine for like 2 years and all it seemed to do was invigorate it 🤷🏻♀️
Here's to a new year, retirement in April and nothing but gardening from here on out, for me!
✌🏽 my permaculture brother!
Congrats on the retirement!
We just burned for the nutrients honestly. I imagine we’ll till again next year & do this exact process again, the hay holds it back long enough
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens I was thinking that would work, if you did it a few years in a row.
I was talking to an old farmer and he told me that he believed it would take me 10 years of covering to get rid of mine. The lady next door grew up in my house and told me that her parents used to lay seed EVERY year 🤦🏽♀️.... she's like 85 yrs old so this grass has been growing for a mighty long time.
I'd prefer permaculture so I'll improvise and do Hügelkultur style in my tubs.
I planted tomatoes and peppers in 3 foot deep feed tubs with drainage holes sitting on Bermuda and I kid you not the Bermuda came up through holes. Bermuda is a beast.
@@AngelaSissySnyder yep! I use a lot of mineral tubs and I found that I need to put the drain holes on the side and not on the bottom so I can monitor them.
I put commercial weed fabric down and it has found any semblance of light and it pops through that too!
It took 8 years to grow, probably going to take 80 years to drown 🤷🏻♀️.
I've just adapted and found a way around but yeah... it's a beast!
Your backpack sprayer always reminds me of Ponyo's dad. IYKYK
Can’t say I know at all
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens Ponyo is a movie.
Bermuda grass roots grow up to a foot deep in the soil scrape it off and it grows back from the roots remove Al the competition and it kicks into high speed it goes dormant once the soil reaches 60 degrees or cooler or there is a drought hard to control once established.
It is tough stuff indeed
Great video. Thanks for making it and sharing with us.
Beautiful 💚
I thought so too :)
I love your videos, outstanding!
Why thank you 😊
I’d call that a huge success 👍
A prolific garden indeed
It did turn out well. Amazing what you can get out of a first year garden like this. I found out myself in my own similar project. Good job!
They have excellent topsoil, cattle have been there 60+ years, I think. I can't till like this on my land. Straight subsoil on the surface at my house
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens That is true, they do have great soil. Mine is straight black sand, I worked to break up then did the mounds using composted horse manure (similar to yours) and mulched. Produced unbelievably.

Nice! I was wondering what you'd do now that 50/50 Life of a Permie videos are done.
I’m going to keep filming like that. That style is great for gardening since we work on such long time scales. Over time I’ll be able to edit a ton of these season/years long edits
Perfect timing on this video! I'm not alone in saying it was a breath of fresh air to see the garden grow as ours is blanketed with snow. The scene at 11:34 with sunflowers, zinnias and coneflowers?! Just gorgeous. Question...we tilled in a new 40x60 in ground garden last spring and planted corn, squash, beans and pumpkins. After harvest, we moved our meat birds onto the plot but we didn't burn it. Could we still burn once the snow is gone and cover until spring or would it be too late? In our corner of NE Ohio the estimated last frost is around April 30th with a 172-ish day growing season. Thanks!!
I’m not sure, we don’t get snow like that. I do know after chickens are on ground here they scratch so much they make bare soil and it doesn’t burn well after they’ve been on it
Yea, that makes sense!
I love your videos, and the sunflowers interplanted with the peas were a great idea, you had some beautiful shots of them with the other flowers mixed in! The field on fire was too fast burning for me, yikes, why do you do that, and do you do that each year?
Thank you yeah the fire was a bit scary the wind here is completely unpredictable. I do that though to clear better, if you do it in the early spring the soil will become much softer to work with
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens Thank you, I did not realize that
Lovely but I assume you have littlemor no slugs. Here In Scotland slugs are a huge problem
We have them, but they aren't an issue for the crops we planted in this garden
Where did you buy your weeding sycthe? That's a pretty slick tool.
Amazon, type in folding scythe, glittering bazaar might work too
How can I get my hands on some of those chicken n dumplings? I'm about 3 hrs south of you near Athens. They would do phenomenal here.
I’m trying to get some out, a friend of mine is helping - I’ll keep the community updated
What do cow peas taste like!?!????
They’re delicious, cook em up in a slow cooker with a ham hock
Did you have squash bug issues?
Yes, big time on zucchini & yellow squash. The pumpkins & Tromboncino don’t get them as much though.
Best to succession sow zucchini & yellow squash, in my opinion
