Thank you so much for doing this video! How inspiring you are! For the first time I have started a garden this year 2021 spring. I have a question that I am hoping you or someone in the comment section, could help me with? My question is we have pine trees in the yard. Is this going to be an issue for seeds that I am going to plant? If so what kind of seeds would work best with pine trees near the garden? I would like to thank those who addressed my question in advance. Thank you for your advice and taking your time. 🌱
Love the before and after of the garden! All your hard work and sweat equity have certaintly paid off! Thank you for all your videos , , Im learning so much from them:) Happy farming and gardening 👩🌾🐐🐖🦋
We're right next door in NC and enjoy collards, okra and kale up to frost, which sometimes is into Dec. Numerous years we have crops that make it into spring so your're in for a real treat on the choices and varieties and experimentation. Welcome to the south! DD
Absolutely! We are working on one right now that should be pretty fun!

Anne, make yourself some plant spacing boards. Use 2x4's, 30" long (typical row width), drill & peg the edge of the 2x4's at various spacings... i.e. every 3 inches, 6 inches, 1 foot, etc. Boards can be used by pressing down into the planting bed making holes, use them in both directions to lay out a block (for corn, for example). If you want to make furrows, use the other unpegged side of a board. These boards will last for years. 🙂
Yes, Many things love the summer sun... Tomatoes, Bush Beans, Cucumbers and such... I never thought you could grow "Cool weather" crops (Broccoli, Kale & cabbages) because it can get so super hot in the summer here in Middle Tennessee.
Hey! just wanted to give you a verbal pat on the back ☺ this is the first time I've gotten a good view of where and how the garden is situated, and I gotta say it looks great, and that was an awesome use of that oddly shaped space! I love and agree with you on the fulfilling beauty of gardening for charity, (which has caused a flood of ideas already for me this year) and PICKLING EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE! (I also detest the nasty sweet kind😝) we are continually updating our garden, havesting,replanting, and swapping crops out as the summer goes on, so this was a good topic.
My weeds have been TOTALLY unmanageable during this really HOT growing season in Middle Ontario!! I never even considered using the whipper snipper to control them, and that leaving the root system would be beneficial. THANK you!! Subscribed!!
In Minnesota you can still plant Chard, Kale, Bush Beans, Peas, Radish, and lettuce. And of course garlic and onion sets. Too late for Cukes and probably too late for Cabbage and broccoli unless you get really lucky! Also too late for Zucchini. And Okra? We don't even think of that! :)
If you're planning a fall/ winter garden, even in MN you should actually still have plenty of time for brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc) Zucchini should also be fine. Okra likes it hot though, I tried for years to grow it in Seattle but was never successful.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO , EXCELENTE ANNE, YOU HAVE A GREAT TOUCH WITH PLANTS AND ANIMALS, I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN, ITS GREAT TO SEE THE PROGRESS OF YOUR FARM, THANKS 👍
Thanks for the great planning tips. As soon as I finish this fence, a raised garden bed is next on the list. Glad to hear there's still time to plant. As soon as you mentioned cucumbers, I started craving pickles... Thanks for sharing!
U look like ME in that garden😀 I do the SAME thing. Planting seeds whenever. Its a CONSTANT experiment. Like u said Successes & failures is how u learn. Happy Gardening
As I mentioned in the video, I want the weeds, so long as they aren’t competing with my plants. They bring nutrients to the topsoil level, they keep moisture levels higher in the soil reducing the need for watering exponentially, and trimming them/burning them with the weed torch adds nutrient dense, green manure to the garden soil and naturally occurring biochar right where I want it. The only kind of landscape fabric that would actually keep these weeds at bay would be thick, heavy plastic which would drastically reduce the amount of permeable soil in the garden to make the most of already sparse summer rains, would force the purchase of said plastic, and would also mean I was bringing a product that takes multiple decades to decompose, while also producing a potential choking hazard to birds and livestock. I’ll take 10 mins every few weeks to rake some grass out of my garden bed ;)
@@AnneofAllTrades The only downside is that the grass will inevitably encroach on your garden beds and get thicker and thicker with each year, You could also get a ton of free cardboard and lay that down, which would retain moisture and also keep down the weeds. Any type of covering will retain more moisture in the soil than just regular lawn grass. In the end you do what you think is best, just sharing my experience. I love your videos!
I hear ya, just different strokes for different folks. I’ve been thinking about putting some cardboard in some of the worse spots, and likely will, but as long as it stays managed, it really can help more than hurt.
Woke up this morning, checked my email and there you were in my Woodcraft email, "Woodworking Adventures." Lady you are everywhere! Any TV deals in the works?
Your Garden is looking good. With the Okra Arms Family Homestead takes the bottom leaves off so the plant is putting all nutrition into Fruit instead of leaves. Just a thought. Peace
Anne, your patch looks amazing after just 6 months! Your hard work is clearly paying off! Question, do you raise any of those animals for meat? Just curious because I’ve never heard you mention it and I was wondering how you’d transition from nurturing the rescue animals to slaughtering for food. No judgment, I have nothing but respect for you, just curious what your plans are...
I raise sheep, chickens and cattle for meat. I have a dairy cow and The goats produce milk, and I hope to get some hogs for pork eventually. Lucy the pig was inherited from a neighbor, I’ve got to find her a job because we’ve got a no pet policy.
We lost all of our cucumbers and zucchini to cucumber beetles/bacterial infection. Glad to find out I can still plant replacements? Have you ever had that issue? Going to try diatomaceous earth but not sure.
Yeah I’ve totally had some similar issues. Neem oil helps, so does diligently checking for pests/signs of pests every day or so. Check out this video, it might help a bit: ruclips.net/video/NwKMW4lLitU/видео.html
The best way if you can’t find humans to eat it is to compost it! Make richer, better soil for your next round of plants. I’ve got a couple videos on that process too!
November 2020 Nashville: Adam: It's funny, we planted all these crops this year but the yield was so small. I ran all the numbers but I just can't figure it out. Anne: I know right? It's so weird...(Silently swallows tomato)
I always wanted miniature animals,,a donkey,,Donald Quin Xhote(he'd go by Don Q. Xhote),,a goat William Henry Bonnie,,,and a horse,of course,,of course the horse would be Little ED... ;-)>....

@@amyelizabeth8432 that shouldn't be an issue! I use all kinds of pine needles, leaves, etc as mulch in my garden.
Loving your garden! And your take on weeds ☺️
Thank you! Gotta work smarter not harder!
Wait until you realize your garden is still producing well into November.... (love) the south!
Even in Seattle I had a year-round garden. It's all about proper planning!
@@AnneofAllTrades Cool.

My daughter found your videos and shared them with me and WOW! I love love your videos, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time.
I love watching all the projects you do! I can't wait for a year or so when I build/buy my own homestead! Thanks for being awesome!
Thank you! I’m excited for you! What a fun journey to be on!
Hi Anne,
Thanks for the Bruce Hornsby ear worm (Mandolin Rain)!
I'll see your ear worm and raise you "Mandolin Orange"

I really like your approach to weeds. Great video!
Thank you! Work smarter not harder! Cheers!
I would love to see a video on you pickling cucumbers along with the amounts of ingredients, pretty much the recipe on how to do it.
Me too!! 🙏🏼 🥒

Heck yea! I'm hoping to build a greenhouse this fall too, so it will be nice to have some stuff all year round!
I would love to see more videos about the animals, and if you have a routine with them :)
Absolutely! We are working on one right now that should be pretty fun!

Yeah, my parents and neighbors use to do this when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's!
OMG this is the motivational video my garden desperately needs
So glad to hear it!
Thanks for all the great tips...inspired me to plant in open space. Love the fancy gardening slippas.
That makes me happy! Getting folks outside is always the goal!
LOVE IT...You Go Girl!!!😃💕😃💕👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to hear it!
U r an amazing lady👍
Thank you!
Wow I have not thought this way for gardening before, lol. I'm going to run out there this evening and plant some more seeds!
Awesome stuff Anne! 😃👍🏻👩🏻🌾🌱🐈🌱🌱🍅🌱🥒🌱🌱🐛🐔🐓🥬🐄🥬🐐🥬🐐🐑🥬🐑🥬🐖🐕👊🏻
I always look forward to your videos. They are so much fun to watch.

All that rain helped a lot!
Looks like lots of delicious food!
Tons of it! Plenty to share :)
Beautiful!🌱💙💛

By the time the heat would bother them, it should be cool enough to enjoy them through the fall and early winter :)

Your garden looks amazing and so full, what a yield! 👍🏾
Even the animals can appreciate a good harvest. 😉
Thank you!
This is me this year. I'm going to be focusing on shifting from conventional tilled dirt to permanent beds with lasagna method and deep mulch pathways

I like fried okra also, but the I tried it straight off the plant, raw. IT'S GREAT!
okra is delicious every single way :)

That's exactly how I weed my garden beds haha
Works like a charm!

Great video as always, YES, NO sweet pickles or relish, got to be dill, or garlic
Amen
"No sugar pickles. Those are garbage." That might be the first mean thing I've heard you say.
Haha sorry!
#BreadAndButterPicklesMatter lol 😂
Love breadandbutter pickles although the brine takes 7 cups of sugar per batch!
Yeah, but she’s right!

You are awesome, your humor is amazing
One of my favorite quotes is “did you have a good childhood, or are you funny?”
I would guess that you had both. "Amor Fati" which basically means that great I love it, and that describes what you are doing thank you.
Milk Dud got outshined by the kitty this time. I want to pet her!
Hahaha he’ll be so glad to hear it
Anne of All Trades Oops! He.
You are giving me the confidence to direct sow my broccoli and cabbage. I started some indoors, but my grow light is acting up.
That is great! Yeah put those guys right in the ground!
What a wonderful life😊
I find few things to complain about. Work hard, go to bed tired :)
Woke up this morning, checked my email and there you were in my Woodcraft email, "Woodworking Adventures." Lady you are everywhere! Any TV deals in the works?
That was a really fun interview! We’ll see on the TV thing, I’ve kinda got a lot on my plate right now ;)

At 8300ft above sea level in the Colorado mountains it was too late for me two months ago. Lol
haha welp, probably not too late for kale and radishes
It's never to late
hear hear!
@@AnneofAllTrades Hey how goes the water project?
Which water project?
@@AnneofAllTrades The one with the rice 🙄
Stone Henge 🤣🤣🤣 I actually have scouted a couple spots on the property that would work for rice growing
You should try pickling some of your okra I think it's the best way to eat okra in my opinion
I love pickled okra!
Sigh, once I was young!! Treasure these days.
