Join Fy Nyth on social media - mewe.com/i/fynyth ! If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, cats, bees, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
New? Check out a few of these videos to catch up on what goes on here!

Very interesting and useful. Thank you!
What I enjoy about your videos are how simple, practical and also I can replicate them with similar success in my own smaller garden. Thank you!!
I was just thinking the same thing! Ditto!
You guys are brilliant, you were born to do this, thank you for sharing!!!
It's a very clever setup and i'm not surprised at all at how well it purrforms.
Just beautiful your an amazing young woman seems you have a green thumb for sure !
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL & FLOURISHING !!
Corn and greenbeans in the flower boxes❤️ They look fabulous, Ariel!
Very pretty flower/veggie boxes and really cool surprises for you! Very fun experiment!!
You need to make that space into a lean-to greenhouse.
Right! Just get some twin-wall polycarbonate for walls and roof. Probably use standard 16" framing due to snow loads (you could do 24" in a warmer climate). And plenty of *venting*, because as soon as you have a roof, you'll probably be in more danger of burning up the plants rather than freezing them.
Worthy idea!
Yes! I came here looking to see if anyone had suggested this, it's a great idea.
Real interesting to see the progress. 😊plants look great and flowers are so beautiful!!
What a wonderful success! I am amazed what you have growing in your region.
Absolutely beautiful!
So exciting!! Food and beauty all together....perfect!
Loving this experiment
Hard work is paying off beautifully❤
You're a very popular content creator. I guess it's because of your positive energy. Congratulations.
How wonderfull, I call this a success!
Beautiful garden beds.
That is great!!
The planters look beautiful! What a great way to harness the available energy to increase your yield. Thanks for the update!
Hello, how are you? I have a diploma in the field of beekeeping for five years and I want to work there in America in bees. Can you help me?
How interesting, love it!
Looks so beautiful!~
wow your planters look great. Good Job !
Those wonderful plants in your flower boxes look divine! Have fun and lots of love Ariel to you and Clay.

Thank you for sharing.
Sooo beautiful- what a great success!
Good gosh how exciting if you even got small melons to eat or a couple tomatoes! I’m not a gardener but that would be pretty exciting!!🥳
Very exciting to have beds to grow some warmer weather items! I like the containers. They look very attractive, maintenance free, and I will plan to use these along my house.
Ariel, I’m so excited for your new beds and what you can grow! Try to save seed from what you’re growing in there. Over time, they will continue to be stronger as the seed/plants adapt to your climate.
Looks fabulous ❤️😁🌹
Wow, the most healthy and beautiful plants I have seen in raised garden beds!
Thank you so much for sharing. Your video is encouraging and inspiring!
I have been following, Nicole Burke, on her RUclips channel 'Gardenary' she teaches to, somewhat, throw out the plant spacing rules and not to leave any soil uncovered.
So far, It looks like you have proven what nature does and what she teaches.
I have started intercropping and planting my plants closer together. Our plants in our garden beds are finally starting to look much better. 🙂
Yes I too have found than many things grow really well planted much thicker than generally recommended. Much less weeding since once the plants get going, there is just really no room for any other plants (weeds) to get going at all. I'm glad to hear your garden is doing well!
I love what you’re doing, experimenting and high density beds. The plants look healthy and well cared for. I spent a lot of money on my little garden with veggies, blackberries, hazelnuts, fencing, trellises, mushroom/chicken manure compost and raised beds. I also bought a used tiller. It took me three years to raise enough for finances to be in the black. I didn’t borrow money and never expected to do better than the grocery store; but, I wanted to eventually do pretty good on the food money. Thank you for sharing your vision with us…from east Tennessee.
Glad these planters are working out. Maybe they’re the way to go if you want to expand the garden without worrying about quack grass invading the beds - unless that thing finds a way to poke through metal…
WOW- just wow- can’t wait to see how it does in a few months ❤
Great growth so far and so pretty, too!

❤❤❤
Beautiful and amazing,your gardening skills have always amazed me and this is incredible.I live in southern ontario canada and our summers are very hot and humid and your garden puts mine to shame--great job!
Thank you for linking those raised garden beds. I want to use these metal type beds and there are several garden channels that sell them. They can be pricey but these seem like good value. I think the wisdom on corn and beans is to plant the corn earlier so it's bigger when you start. Then start the beans in the ground after the corn is tall enough to act as a trellis. That way the corn will always be ahead of the beans.
Wow, I thought Maine was a tough place to grow veg! Congrats on your results!
💜
Interesting
I enjoyed this update to your experiment and am pleased for you that it's working. I look forward to seeing how the heat loving plants do next year when you can get a proper start on them.
Very cool:)
Absolutely LOVE experimenting!!!
Looks great!!! 👍🏿
Really nice garden
So pretty, I remember the garden at the mountain and the growth you had and this is so much better now. Are you planning to have a greenhouse after your small home is built? ❤
When I lived in Wyoming at 6500 ft, we had great luck with seeds developed for Alaska...
Have you considered making a lean-to green house on that side of the workshop? Or maybe more along the lines of a 3 season porch? It would give you a space outside the house for doing your starts and be frost protected.
Great idea, I was thinking that a lean to greenhouse would be an excellent addition.
❤love your garden, can't compare🌼🌻🌷🇺🇸
If you pug rotten Wood and straw dirty with chicken poo and compostables in the bottom of the beds that rotting down itself produces heat
The beds are so pretty. I'm experimenting to try growing sunshine (buttercup variety) squash in a big container. It's so good but hard to find at the farmers market. If I can get 4
It will probably be enough for me to freeze for winter for 3 old folks. If I get any more than 4, I can share with my sister. I'm thinking I might have to jury rig some hammocks for the squash so they have room to grow. It's always fun to see how far we can push habitat to do our bidding!
🎉 Thanks for the update 👍🏻🎉 I love using solar passive warming 🌞
One year in central Wyoming, my garden froze on the 4th of July. One spring, we had a major blizzard on May 25.
That is amazing! It's so cool what you can do with even low levels of temp modification (ie not greenhouses, heaters, etc). i imagine you could cloche with glass jars and get things in early enough to get fruit - I saw a farmer in a colder area of PA that used a corn based plastic sheet over thier seed corn to get seet corn a couple weeks earlier than they could normally harvest. Very interesting!
I was looking at these exact beds about a ago! I live on the northern California coast so not sure the steel would hold up to the salt air. I’m surprised no critters raid your beds! Between the gophers, the herds of deer, the raccoons, foxes and possum, I cannot grow food out in the open. I have a tiny deck food garden. I do love the look of the beds and what a bonus to extend your ability to grow more!
I would be tempted to construct a lean-to over those raised beds and grow through winter as well.
At her elevation in Wyoming, winter temperatures are well below zero, so not really an option.
Gorgeous and yummy!
This is beautiful and encouraging. I just obtained some raised beds to get more growth in our yard next year. You did a great job, and in using direct seed!! Awesome!!
The planter look amazing ❤
Well your squash is definitely further along than mine, there's too many squash bugs and I've figured that if i start later i won't lose too many plants👍🏼😊
That's a good tip! We've had a cool wet summer so far and the bugs are winning ...
Wow, those boxes look good. Hope you will get lots of joy out of them
With regard to poppies: I usually don't have great luck when planting poppy seeds in spring and have them germinate but if I scatter the seeds on top of the snow, there seems to be better germination. Perhaps the poppies will germinate next year?
They are supposed to be overwintered or planted in Feb where I live. The key to poppies is to not care at all what happens to them and they do great on their own. Just throw the seeds over your shoulder in the dead of winter and they will do everything else.
They are GORGIOUS!!! I always loved the beauty of the old lockers that you planted all the herbs and flowers in. So many colors and textures : ) Too funny, you just mentioned your aversion to the color Orange.... again.🤣🤣
PS what is flowering tobacco used for? A veg/salad green?? Or the flowers?
My understanding is that planting popcorn with or near sweet corn will alter the sweetness of the sweer corn through cross pollination...you can let us know if you notice this or not, when you harvest and cook some.
❤amazing! And it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Wow! I love the experiment. The containers look awesome. Glad you had lots of success. Lesrning never ends with gardening. 👍😎🇨🇦🌻🌱🌾🍅🫑🌽🥕🥬🍓⚘🌼🌺
Are you considering building a lid for them to turn them into hot houses for the winter? With the heat from the building that might be something to look into. Everything looks awesome so far!
With regards to tomatoe and pepper plants I start some indoors in Feb and buy some starts. I dont put them out until almost June (I'm in Canada) This year they are doing awesome, last year everything collectively died on me.
I would love to see how you keep notes!
I live in Michigan zone 5 and we can grow peppers with a frost cover. They don’t get very big but they do produce peppers. Though I would stick to the smaller fruiting peppers. Ace is a verity from Johnny seeds and they are doing very well with dozens of blossoms instead of the five each on the heirlooms. I would do bush green beans because they mature faster and we get more beans.
Did you try cucumbers? I think they would do great since they like cooler weather but don’t love frost
Great advice and good to know!
I think Ariel said they're in zone 3 though. I'm in zone 4 and have a north eastern exposure, so tomatoes and peppers live indoors under grow lights till mid June.
❣️❣️
When you get your greenhouse that'd be a good place to start possibly some of your plants. But way to think "outside the box" or would it be "inside the box"?
The plants are beautiful!
Looking good. What fun.😊
Maybe a way to track temperature where plants are growing better, like the corn in one bed. Starting plants indoors prior to planting in beds. The corn almost looks knee high!!!Love this!
Thank you.
Have you ever watched the videos on yt from the 'Citrus in the Snow' Russ Finch? He is a genius and your place would really benefit from a system like the ones he invented.
These plants are not frost hardy, but are they chosen also because they are heat hardy ( beings tgey are against a metal wall ? Or is it that the sun isnt shining on that wall due to the sun being high ?
missing the old place by far
You don't like the color Orange ? : ) That is Funny. However, when I was Pregnant with my only child/daughter when I was 37; IF I even visualized or thought about the COLOR ORANGE ...I felt very NAUSEOUS : ( & I actually like the color orange. It's not my favorite, but I don't have any adverse reaction to it. # Very interesting phenomena, huh?
Hello, how are you? I have a diploma in the field of beekeeping for five years and I want to work there in America in bees. Can you help me?
How do you use your amaranth?
Popcorn shouldnt be planted with regular corn or near them. They will cross breed.
