Arielle's pride about her garden is so beautiful to watch
So true! She was positively gleeful to start the the tour
Everything about her is beautiful
Yes!
Came here to say this!!!!!
Ariel’s Pride sounds like a tomato variety.
Me, all proud of myself for my 2 pepper plants and herb grow bag (#apartmentlife) "Killin it!" 😁
Me, sees their glorious garden "you know what, grow what you can in the space you can. Still killin it!" 😊
🤣😂 any “oldies” in here - how many of you thought....🎼are you going to Scarborough fair...when she said: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme 🤣🤷♀️. Shout out to Simon & Garfunkel
Lol…ME!
I was singing the song in my head !
Well, ok. Im about 13 hours late to the dance. ( Comment above)
Absolutely and in fact I broke out into the song straight after Arielle said it lol. Michelle
In my 20s but I still thought of that song immediately!
I’m a 1st grade teacher and you’ve inspired me to begin researching grants that would help me begin a hydroponic garden at school with my students! You’ve convinced me that it would be worthwhile and beneficial for my kiddos! Thank you!
💫
That’s so awesome. Will the school allow it?
Why don't you call just d.h.s. to build your garden for you and declare martial law to keep the bugs out of the dirt and start forcing seals to wear diapers and research grant funding for that?
You really should'nt need to research a freaking grant in order to put a few p.v.c. fittings together and build a cheap frame for a plastic tent with a couple moving blankets w/ a cheap u.v. heat lamp and a few pots and a drip hose = 75 bucks tops... And if you can't afford a lamp the just use clear plastic.
Literally, you just cut up some 30 gallon black trash bags and envelope them around a few cheap moving blankets and glue them them around a cheap p.v.c. frame and hang a lamp and run some drip lines from a garden hose around some pots or wood planters that you can build yourself or you could even glue the p.v.c. together and drill holes and put in a few drip lines appropriately where you want plants and then use the baby greenhouse frame as the water irrigation pipeline feed and that would make less mess and if you wanted to be a maniac about it you could throw in some insulative aluminum foil = i.d.k. why all you Edu people live solely for the sake of designing and develop your quintessential humanity to be oriented around blowing government money down the drain. Maybe it was because of your asiatic gangster-mob-boss n.s.a. uplines working with their latin-arab nazi cartel correspondant national gard gangmember raised group-home society engineered & socialised gustapo forced sex-change-victim cops that grew your brain to function like that.
A grant... S.m.h
You are the reason america has almost lost every war we ever were involved with and you are the reason all of our businesses keep collapsing with you people always running endless communist scams.
You communist euro-Russians lying about being from the u.s. are the most non-alaskan and un-american people in the universe with your fake last names lying about being older heritage generations because nobody actually cares about any of that type of stuff enough to care about researching why you all had to lie about your identities in order to live with the rest of the general public.
A Grant? Didn't you take woodshop in highschool or at least seventh grade? What happened to the World? :(
@@animahopelaurensteele2132 It might just be $75 dollars to you but when you are a teacher there are a lot of things that just cost a little and really add up. When you aren’t paid much to begin with and then you pay for so much it really adds up. Also, grants aren’t just given out by the government. Your comment isn’t helpful and shows you lack of knowledge on the subject.
That would be amazing! Here in the Netherlands some children have no idea where tomato’s (and everything else) comes from 😜 I laughed about it but it is actually really sad! Good luck for you’re project!
Another spellbinding video. Arielle's enthusiasm is contagious . Gardening, like farming, has a number of things beyond our control but your hard work always wins in the end.!
Can't wait for canning and preserving season on your channel. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. BLESSINGS-Kate
Ariel's gushing about her garden, probably the best smile on the internet...
Sipping Espresso in the high tunnel during rain fall, that is the most cozy moment ever. I got all the cozy feels.
YOU BOTH HAVE SUCH green fingers BECAUSE every SINGLE THING YOU plant JUST grows SO BEAUTIFUL LOVE WATCHING YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS
The look of betrayal and the "Eric!" with the dandelion, I laughed, hard !
“ERIC!” 😂😂 It’s almost exactly what I’d do to my partner!
he held back but could've got her good! lol
You know one of the greatest indicators for potential individual longevity in a culture is their tendency to garden.
I am amazed how well you guys know what to do every day of the calendar. . . . .plant, fish, harvest, cut firewood, take care of the bees and chickens and so on. One request, please give Pepper a place in an upcoming video
You can always fry up the squash flowers,so delicious 💚💚💚
Girl! It’s July and we can see your breath! I’m in Oklahoma so that just amazes me.
We are used to it here and in turn people like myself do not understand how Y'all can live in the insane heat Y'all get and how much of a waste in energy it is to keep yourself cool all summer. I picked up a AC unit 2 years ago and have used it for 1 month at least(usually around now until August because we are 70+ and it is too damn hot) each year and the electric costs are insane. And going outside is a "no go zone", screw that, I will take 70s and 30s all year long over that shit any day.
Lol I can't even imagine it being that cool in June, I'm in NC about 40 minutes north of Charlotte and we have two seasons: summer and a mild winter (we MIGHT have an inch or two of snow once a year, if that). It's great that our growing season can be as long as the beginning of March through the end of October, but it does get so unbelievably hot and HUMID June through August (average temperature being 90℉ or higher with at least 90% humidity). Even with occasional rain we still have to water every day. I can't even imagine going through what California is going through right now!!
Awesome. The sound of the rain almost put me to sleep. Lol.
Thank you Arielle 😇 🙏. You were a gracious hostess for giving me a guided tour of your beautiful🍃🌱🌻☘️ green luscious garden 🍃🌱🌻☘️in the land of the Midnight Sun🌄! I could tell how proud you are, and I could see how hard you and your husband 👩🌾👨🌾have worked just by looking at how delicious and table ready the vegetables are in your garden!🍽️🥗. You have every reason to be proud, ( heck I am and it's not even my garden) ,😁🤗👍
Congratulations! 🎈🎈🎈
I want to say that I have never gardened in Alaska, but a friend of mine who does uses Paint Strainers (the ones that fit in one gallon and five gallon buckets) to protect the growth point from the evil midges. I know he uses bamboo BBQ skewers to hold the strainer off the plant(because I mail him the skewers and strainers) I thought they were odd requests, until I realized it was way cheaper for me to buy them in Virginia and mail them to him in Alaska, than it was for him to purchase those items locally.
You guys have become master gardeners! To get that incredibly lush and high output production in such a short growing time is amazing!!!!
Girl you rock! You’re smart, beautiful and passionate. Love your enthusiasm and incredible hard work!
I've been gardening for over 45 years and can say " you never stop learning. " Love your garden tours, your fishing, etc....keep up with the incredible knowledge, skills and adventures. We all need a bit of help fine tuning our garden. Thanks from Vermont.
Love the sublime hint to the Simon & Garfunkel album... "Parsley, Sage Rosemary and Thyme" 🥰
Peppers thrive when planted close together...no matter the location grown.
Hmmm.... Lesson learned!
I am going to try to plant my pepper more cozy come August
@@pinschrunner where are you August seems late to plant peppers. That's usually when you start harvesting peppers.
@@erincarr9411 I am in Central West Florida and August is when we plant our Fall gardens. We can have gardens all year except Dec-Jan.
Such a great veg garden … you must be so proud of yourselves … well done 🙏☘️😘
0:41 Arielle: “Welcome to our garden!” Bo: “Yeah, okay. Anything in here for me? Eh, keep talking. I’ll have a little lie-down. “
Your crops are looking great! You accomplish so much in a short growing season. Thanks for the tour.
You should do an asmr loop of rain in the high tunnel
I was literally just thinking about y’all. And here you are. Can’t wait to watch! 😁
Me, too!
Looks like a happy healthy garden. Nice job. You're going to get 300 plus pounds of tomatoes.
Your garden looks beautiful.
Blessings to all!
Ariel, the tunnel really looks nice. I especially like seeing it late in the summer when in becomes a gorgeous jungle!
That lettuce patch is gorgeous!
Wow, all plants 🪴flowers 💐vegetables all are blooming, beautiful and green 😀
Thanks you, stay blessings and loving, take care 🙂
With no pollinating insects indoors use Q tips to pollinate the flowers by hand. Basically you replace the bees. 😎👍
Your garden is beautiful! Your hard work really pays off in the end❤️❤️❤️✌️
Excellent program Thankyou for sharing,a fine garden .
I watched this while making cottage cheese for the first time, from milk that had soured. I haven’t figured out what I want to do with the whey but I couldn’t be more pleased with how easy and quick the process is. I have red wine vinegar sitting in a closet, probably close to ready, just picked up some SCOBY to make kombucha (first time as well!) and have a decent number of containers on my patio (potatoes, tomatoes, radish, rhubarb, horseradish, mixed flowers and more). I moved from a studio with no outdoor space to a 1 bedroom with a patio in April and being able to garden again has been such a salve for my mental health. My absolute favorite smell in the world is tomato plants and when I’m stressed out it’s so lovely to run my hands through them, helps ground me and bring me back to calm. Your videos are so informative and well done, editing wise, I love watching you both work and learn together. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your life with us!
If you make sourdough bread (bet you do!) then you can use the whey replacing water. And chickens like it.
Thank you for giving me a 30 min respite from the construction noise and city fumes of my daily life. Wonderful garden. I envy you.
I'm always sad on Summer Solstice, I love the long days. And mine are nowhere near that long! Love you guys! As always, thanks for sharing! ❤️ Re: eggplants and stubbornness: Nothing beats a failure like a try, or more properly "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take"
We moved our garden to our parents. Also helped them build a greenhouse...amazing experience and incredible how quickly things grow
Yeaaaa a garden tour!! Love these! So fun to see what works and doesn’t work. Gardening, like you said, is all about trial and error! This year, I planted all varieties that we can’t find readily in stores! Hot pink beans, yard long cucumbers, white strawberries, yellow jalepenos, terra cotta tomatoes! Should be a fun year!
I've always had a garden and the one thing I've learned is that mother nature is unpredictable and I'm very thankful I don't have to make a living this way. It is a great hobby and a great source of wonderful food.....but the trials of mother nature are not to be taken lightly. Here in West Virginia my cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, garlic, lettuce, radishes and peas are all harvested from the Spring garden, with the beans, onions, peppers, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers and winter/summer squash taking center stage for the next two months. Then comes the fall garden, which here means starting the winter vegies as well. I'm lucky to be far enough south that something is growing all year long.....even when interrupted by a few feet of snow.
That's great! You are a hard worker & blessed!!
Arielle's natural beauty is so refreshing. With women caking on twenty different products on their faces today, to see a woman with natural beauty is awesome. I love the pride that radiates from her when she is in her garden. My husband and I are wanting to get into homesteading very seriously and it's neat to see another young couple practicing subsistence living. Thanks very much for the content guys. 💜
I live in Hawaii, but you make Alaska seem like Paradise.
Love your garden. I've so enjoyed this year too. My tomatoes are so juicy. It's so rewarding to grow and eat that which God gives..❤️❤️❤️
Your garden is fantastic. You should be so proud of yourselves. Clap clap clap clap!
Arielle,Id be very proud of yourself,yours and Eric's hard work and determination has really shown. I'm simply amazed by how many varieties of vegetables u have planted. Well done.
Thank you so much for sharing. I love gardening too it started with mostly flowering bushes. I have 24 hydrangea bushes and it’s moved on to vegetable gardening. I planted two beds of asparagus this spring. I have garlic from last fall just forming scapes now. I have about 20 tomatoes, carrots, peas, beans, sunflower, cucumber, zucchini, lavender, strawberries, kale, edible pansies, onions and radishes, tons of herbs and lettuce. I absolutely adore watching it grow. I live in Nova Scotia and our season is shorter as well so I started a lot inside from seed and learned a ton about that through some mistakes. Anyway thank you so much for sharing I love your channel. It’s also so nice to see the amount of things you and your husband do together and how much you enjoy the simpler things in life. Take care and happy growing!!
As usual, your garden is unbelievably beautiful, green, & lush! Amazing to see!! I had told my sister in WA state, now she gets this years video!! A thing of beauty, God's glory, I love seeing your garden!! You guys are exceptional in every way! Tyfs, never stop, please. Good bless you& yours 🙏❤🙏🥰👵🌽🍅🧅🥦🥔🥕🍆🥬🧄🍄
Cabbage is really easy to preserve by a simple salt fermentation. No canning necessary. I also dehydrate it sometimes for future soup additions. It'll also keep many months in a root cellar. Sometimes I set grocery store cabbage in a dish of water and they not only stay juicy but usually even start growing again. A stripped core placed in water will usually sprout new, tender leaves.
Thanks for sharing! I can relate to the short growing season; we’re between zone 2 & 3 here near the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. My little gardens were doing awesome until we got this week of over 100 F & no rain. Town water keeps them barely alive & my water barrels are all used up. Good growing there🤗❤️🇨🇦
We are in the same grow zone in southern Alberta. We have resorted to mulching everything that we think we can to try and retain some moisture!
Super hard to keep things hydrated. Stay safe.
Nette 🌺
@@TheCowEmporium thanks, Nette; what mulch is safe on gardens? I was going to buy wood chips but didn’t know if they would work with raised garden beds.
@@belieftransformation We use straw or lawn clippings (that haven’t been sprayed). We also use wood chips however you don’t want the wood chips to mix with the soil because the wood chips (and straw) tie up the nitrogen in the soil. So we put cardboard down and then a layer of wood chips. You may want to be careful when first mulching because not all plants will like this type of care.
Be sure to remove any mulch at the end of the season as working it in will be bad for your garden.
I have been gardening for over 40 years and have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you!!!
Hi from Pinellas County, Florida 😎🏖🌴🌴 My kids and I are fans of your Alaskan adventures. Thank you for sharing them
🙋♀️ from Polk County
I was thinking of you all up north!!! Just got some more tomatoes planted in Illinois am hoping for the best for myself!!!
How is the Hot weather are you cool enough out there???
The rain 🌧 on the high tunnel 😭😍
Are you a Master Gardner?
I enjoy your garden, and how much you enjoy it. Good Medicine, good food.
Arielle in the thumbnail is so cute !
I love that you are so real and raw most you tube garden won't show what they are struggling with the only show the perfect... and new gardener get frustrated cause thier garden aren't "perfect " like what they see in RUclips
My toddlers love watching your videos with us (The call you "The Alaska People") and every video they say "Maybe they'll show the chickens this time" so... putting in the request for them :) We love your channel!
Nothing better than harvesting your own food. Great looking garden.
Because of your real pleasure in gardening I decided this year to plant different varieties of tomatoes and they are already huge and full of flowers. Thanks to both of you for your gardening videos, it is very useful and helpful. Have a good gardening's season!
You guys are unbelievable in all your adventures. Your gardening is incredible.My favorite couple on the net.
It is so nice to see such a young couple that loves to learn and work. Keep up the great videos. Always look forward to watching them.
Have you ever considered planting a couple of tomato plants that mature early outside to get the ripened by the sun taste? Early Girl variety comes to mind.
To my knowledge living here for 15+ years, no varieties of tomatoes will ripen before you have to harvest them. But, if the predictions from the GSM we are going into are true, Alaska will have growable climate for almost 11 years and we may be able to ripen before harvest.
@@godlessevilfeeling what predictions?
@@davidschmidt5533 Not going to promote other channels, that is not why I am here. Do some research on here about Russia becoming a superpower and climate change and you should find a channel that explains it simply for you but if you really want to learn something look up the grand solar minimum and it will explain the technical reasons and details into it.
@@davidschmidt5533 look up adapt 2030 and ice age farmer
"June is busting out all ooverrrr!" (from the musical Oklahoma!)
Mmmmmmmm, your garden is amazing!!!
Love y'alls videos! I've went to Alaska when I was younger and I immediately fell in love with it.
It's a privilege being able to follow you while y'all live your lives at one of the true last frontiers.
A great garden, good dogs (and cat), interesting adventures, living off the land and the simple life... these are my favorite videos. Thanks guys!!!
Shout out from Savannah, Georgia
Ariel, im using an idea from "robbie & gary" u-tube with using tulle over my broccoli's & brassica's, its very cheap & it keeps a lot of insects off your plants & laying eggs,the butterfly moths are my pain in gardening.It's reusable so works a long time for the season. Next year i will cover mine as i plant them. Still learning new ways & ive gardened 50yrs. Love the tulle my son said looks like i have ghosts in my garden😆, saves me work i love it. Love you guys great vid🖒
I used their idea as well, it worked to keep my zucchini for me and not the deer.
So enjoyed your gardening video! You and Eric have a wonderful channel that's always informative and interesting! Alaska is a magnificent place! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! God bless you ❤❤
Ty you so much I love your garden tours along with your harvest my favorite times🥰💐💐💐
Think you have expressed interest in/fondness for pesto. Saw a demo at Acre Homestead where she trimmed back green onions and made pesto from them. Thought you might be interested.
lovely. i do window sill gardening because i dont have a garden but even this tiny space makes me immensly happy. gardening is the way.
Rutabaga is awesome in soups like Turkey or chicken!
I absolutely love your garden. I love my garden also, it is the place I find peace and joy.
Your garden is fabulous! Such a huge variety to keep you healthy and satisfied. And we get to see you turn the bounty into wonderful meals. The chickens must think they have died and gone to heaven. Thanks so very much for sharing.
I love Arielle's voice and could listen to her all day long.
Gorgeous garden!!! And oh that beautiful lettuce....
I love to hear the rain no rain here in california, Your joy is great to see.
I’m always looking forward to seeing your videos! My goodness what you two have accomplished in three years! Thank you so much!💙❤️💚
Absolutely loved your garden tour!!! Wishing that I was there walking along you my friend and nibbling on everything 🤤 and drinking a cup of expresso.
You look beautiful in the thumbnail Arielle. I wish I could grow a plentiful garden like you two. What a blessing.
Scarborough Fair. Parsley ,sage, rosemary and thyme. LOL I love it.
You never cease to amaze me at what you accomplish in such a harsh climate. That's a gorgeous garden. Cant wait to watch you store and cook your harvest.
Its a wonderful feeling to grow a plant. Its feels like a superpower. 💪
LOVE your garden tours! Every time you do a tour, I'm reminded of a trip I made to Anchorage several years ago. There were city gardens with a beautiful mix of flowers, perennials and vegetables and they were lovely.
i could watch this over n over great gardening
These videos are my happy place. U guys are so talented
My dad was so funny. Before I went to visit him in the UP of Michigan he told me his garden had done so well the previous year that he had doubled his crop. I was really surprised because I had not known of him gardening before as he lived on a sandy beach. What that meant when I got there was he had taken two tires and filled them with dirt and planted a tomato plant in each one. I guess the tires help hold in the heat..he said he was a farmer now. Lol
You have the best garden of any one I know. I wish mine was half that good. Having a lot of pest this year. Had a rainy and cold Spring, so gardening has been challenging for me. I love fresh produce, so I just replant and move on. Learn a lot from ya'll, look forward to more garden tours.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets excited to see their garden start to produce. Although you are gardening on a much larger scale. X
Fantastic garden!!!!
I love the garden tours. I also love seeing the chickens and watching you can items and then make dinner. I also love fishing videos. Your lifestyle and the love between you two is such a joy to watch. Thank you for the high quality content. You feel like my friends when I watch what you're up to.
Gardening is a constant experiment, and as every year goes by, there is always something new to try. I'm guessing you don't have the white cabbage butterfly there because the leaves have not been attacked. I plant Borage around my tomato and potato plants because I have found it keeps the tomato worms away, they say they flowers have a cucumber taste, but they taste like raw green beans to me, but lots of bees come to them. I like your channel because a lot of the things you are doing, are things I do. I look forward to upcoming videos and hope to see you taking advantage of the bounty that is Alaska; clamming, crabbing, shrimping, rockfishing, cod fishing, bear hunting and processing. Congrats on having such a high "views/subscribers ratio", very impressive to have such a loyal following.
OMG - I really enjoy Arielle and her garden, but I hope there is not a 'test' coming on all the plants! Fun video, thanks!
Great garden! You have a real green thumb!
I am addicted to watching you two!! Alaska!!! So in love with the scenery! God Bless
Wow! Your garden looks amazing..
9:30 p.m.,wow!,Its daylight
Lets do some weeding and blow weed seeds all over the greenhouse. Lol! You guys crack me up
But, they're not weeds when you eat the leaves and make tea and syrup with the flowers. Speaking of that, when you cut the flowers off, do it over the bowl, then if any fall, they fall into the bowl.
Dandelions are excellent source of salad greens which is an excellent source of vitamis iron and potassium. And an added bonus you can also eat the pretty yellow flowers in your salad, as well 🥗!
You should do the research, and study it over. Because, if you gather enough dandelion blossoms you can make dandelion wine! I've had some before, it's very delicious. 🍷🍷
I thought the same thing!
Thank you for the garden tour. Your enthusiasm really make me want to go out and grow edibles.
Absolutely my favorite channel! Love the gardening and canning episodes!
My life is so different from yours, I'm a nurse and have been for 44 years when I started my training, the past year or so has been very hard with covid etc I find watching your videos so relaxing, I work nights so often fall asleep while watching you but I always finish the video, I could not live your life but I love watching it "❤️❤️
