    I agree with you Maverick. Any day you plant strawberries is the best day ever.

    I do believe that you just made his whole day and life that moment you Decided to let him have his very own strawberry patch. ❤️
    I almost cried he was so excited.
    In his very own words...
    It's the best DAY ever.
    Great job Mom, and Dad.
    I love watching y'all.

    Maverick's interest in strawberries could spill over into homeschooling. Math, science, writing, and reading applications would probably all hold his interest. Your local librarian might be able to access books for him about growing and enjoying strawberries.

    Maverick and his strawberry garden. Such a joy to see a child so appreciative and excited about something as simple as planting strawberries. Maverick not only learned how to plant. He is learning a big lesson in patience. And being happy while waiting. Way to counter instant gratification. Great job mom and dad!

  • @belindajorgensen3755
    @belindajorgensen3755 Год назад +6

    It really says something when your child tells you its the best day ever when he can get a strawberry garden it means the parent is doing a wonderful job of bring them up maverick is a good example to us all ,the simplest things are the best things.

    I waved to Maverick in the intro standing in the window so I was smitten from the start! My heart was in my throat watching you carry that old window down the ladder hoping it wouldn't break apart on you! Maverick was so happy and thrilled at having a strawberry 🍓 bed! He did a great job for his age, so patient, gentle and listened well to instructions by mom. The pure joy on his face is priceless! Mom was pretty proud of him too He! He is turning into quite the ham on camera, tilting his head backwards at the end and having fun with it. Think he is going to have your humor, Doug! He so obviously loves his parents with all his heart, giving lots of hugs to you and you giving in return. You take a property and turn it into something magical for yourselves. I'm so envious but at the same time feeling you so deserve it! Your hard work paid off!

  • @melindaivey4772
    @melindaivey4772 Год назад +6

    I agree with Maverick, it's a great day to plant strawberries!
    Until they get established good, plant some marigolds around and in between them. It will help deter bugs and pests that get in strawberries.

    Getting ready to plant strawberries after waiting “forever”, Maverick, running his hands over his new garden bed and with a giant grin says, “this is the best day ever”. Totally understand. Eating ripe strawberries from the garden is heaven on Earth. Love that kid. Love your family and this channel.

    I agree with Mav, strawberries are the best of all and so is he. He has the most beautiful sparkly happy eyes. Him and Bell are so happy and well-adjusted kids. I just love Mav and his personality. He seems super smart too. How Blessed you both are to have them. Thank you for sharing them with us, I so enjoy it. Brings back memories for me of my kids when little. Excited to see how the gardens do. Great watering can. Can not wait to see the windows in. Putting a bigger window in Bell's room and newer will save you in energy cost and add more light. Peace!

    • @lindajwilson9848

    Try letting the kids paint small rock to look like strawberries. Scatter them in the strawberry bed. Birds will peck at them and become discouraged. Then they will leave the real strawberries alone.

    I have to laugh. My husband gets so angry at me and yells at me all the time for standing on the very top "this is not a step" step of all the step ladders we own. The beginning of the video Doug is standing on the "this is not a step" step of the ladder pulling a window out and that is so something I would do. And then when my husband found out he'd have a heart attack which is why I don't do it when he's home.😂🤣😂🤣😂

    When a plant grows in a container the roots of the plant are growing in a circle, when you are putting the plant in the earth, you can mark out / cut the roots (make a scratch down every 7cm), then the plant will make new roots in every direction, so the plant can grow better.
