Hello Candace! I'm so proud of you! You use what you have there- the bamboo and everything else. You have tried so hard. Life too, is full of trials and errors. You have done an amazing job there. Next year will be better. Keep up the great work! Keep smiling, God loves you all and there's better days and times ahead for you all! I love your enthusiasm!
All winter dad throws food scraps on top of his garden. Even egg shells, everyone's broken pumpkins after Halloween, just no meat or bones. When the ground is thawed in the spring, he mulches it all into the soil. So he never buys fertilizer anymore and never used herbicides or pesticides. Just his cayenne pepper on the leaves & plants, egg shells in soil. He's 89 and never been without his gardens. You did a beautiful job. I wish I could show him.
If you plant potatoes now in the blank areas, they can be turned into the soil to rot over the fall, winter and spring. Then turn them into the beds. It fertilizes the soil. But you probably knew that. Great work this year!!!
When garden is done, mix compost and fertilizer and work it in really well. The bamboo may have stripped the soil of nutrients that's why I said add those things to it. It might help rebuild the quality of your soil. You'll probably have to fertilizer with miracle grow or another kind of fertilizer like fish fertilizer, it's either liquid or granular as the garden is growing.
Yes, I agree, soil needs to be amended as you’ve suggested. And I agree with Candace that having more hours of sunshine in the garden will be a huge help.
Hi, Candice. I like that you're using the bamboo in assisting the various plants to grow. Your garden beds will benefit greatly from having more sun once the other trees are down. The tomato plants are doing really well (love tomatoes, but only the 'acid-free' variety agree with me 😅). Thanks for the update.
Hi Candice, glad to hear the rain has stopped there for awhile. Love the video of the Gardens... in my opinion, you and your Gardens rock. They done better than expected, you should be so proud of yourself. I'm also looking forward to a video about the Cabin soon. You , the Critters , and the family take care until next time. We love y'all here in KY.... God's blessings be upon you. 👍🫶🙏
Thanks for the update. Where I live in MN our garden hasn’t been the greatest either. We have had a ton of rain, but not as much sun as we really need for a strong garden. I am hoping next year is a better year with a healthy balance of sun and rain.
You definitely need more sun, but some of your plants are thriving. Next year should be a better year!!! When you talked about ferns, I was thinking if only I could send you some hardy ferns! I have way too many ferns and recently gave some to my sisters. They grow like weeds, I originally got them from our family farm, and my mom had planted them back in the 1970’s. I have advertised them on a Facebook free site, but no one ever came for them. I should try that again.
Your garden might need some fertilizer. Not sure if you amended the soil with anything. You might also need to do a soil test to see what it needs. Adding what the soil needs for the winter, may help for next year. But testing your soil yearly will benefit you, in knowing what it needs to grow crops. Hope this info helps.
Your chickens are beautiful ! Any horse farms around ? My neighbor let me take a bunch of aged poo for my garden... the soil was happy. The heat and rain are not doing too many plants any favors in CT.... Well done ! Freakin chipmunks . Looking forward to you getting more sun on it all next year. You look great by the way... take care and safe travels. D CT / USA
Just tossing a few thoughts around. Maybe you can call your state ag extension office and ask about soil testing. I don't know about GA, but AZ used to test water and soil for free (this has been a while ago, so not sure about now). Then you will have an idea of what amendments you can to add to the soil to improve it. I know alfalfa and a couple other plants will add nitrogen to the soil naturally. Also, plant pairing is important too. Some do better paired with one & badly with another. Like corn & squash do well together. I wish I could remember more, but it's been almost 30 years since I had a big garden with a good friend and she knew a good bit more than I. She planned it out, I just helped with the work. If it were me, I think I'd try live traps and rehome as many chipmunks as possible, even though they are adorable.
Just has not been a good year for gardens. I usually have a great garden was really bad this year except for My tomatoes. I really have missed Your videos. Have a great week.
Sadly I have had very bad experiences with that the brand of plastic container you are using for the fly larvae do not hold up well to UV light and crumble when used as cat litter boxes or get a hard freeze and are hit, they break apart. I just buy the commercial restaurant bussing tubs or buy Rubbermaid products. I am at least 15 years on their garbage cans which are outside in the weather!! Much better garden than I have.
I think your whole garden needs fertilizer! I had the same thing happen one year and found that fertilizing every couple of weeks worked wonders the next year and I had a thriving garden. Also I had planted in container garden soil and turned out it was mostly peat moss which had no nutrition and formed dry root balls at each plant so all the plants weren’t actually getting the water I thought they were getting!
Wow Candice as been a while since a cabin video and nice to see whats going on. Its a learning experience for sure with gardening . Saddened no video of Jeremy up on the roof and bet in his pj's. Keep the cucumbers damp so that powdery mildew does not strike or Red Spider Mite.
Hi Candace - keep working that garden soil, add compost and fertilizer when you can too. It takes a few seasons for new soil to be optimal, at least that is my experience with my backyard. I can’t wait for fall and the clearing of trees! And the sunshine! But right now, I’m hoping you’re now getting too much rain or wind from Debby. Be safe!
Candace you might want to think about getting your garden soil tested before next year's garden. The soil could be missing an essential mineral that you need to add to help your garden grow better. I added bone meal spikes to my one and only tomato plant I am growing in a large flower pot. The bone meal really helped my poor scraggly tomato plant pick up and now it is almost 3 feet tall and bushed out beautifully. P.S. I am jealous your tomato plant produced tomatoes before mine has 😂 May God Bless and Keep Your Family Safe 🥰 Be Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy 💞
The cucumber plant is awesome. My dad has his always growing up chicken wire fence with wooden stakes holding it in the ground. Same with his peas. He also digs up many potatoes when they're still tiny and sweet just to boil. Try a grape vine next year. It has to have a good solid pipelike arch to wind around. I helped dad plant his second vine. Your garden looks amazing. I am worried about your watermelon. I used to plant from seed in the 90s then like dad, I either started the plants indoors under a light 2 months before planting season or went to the garden center and bought them already as small plants.
When you dig a good size hole for watermelons put sand and bonemeal add some dirty and seeds than some more dirt. When watering the sand will hold water. Put enough in the hole.
We always used cayenne pepper on the plants to stop the critters. Broken egg shells in the soil around the plants. Kept raccoons,rabbits,skunks, etc out of our vege gardens. ❤
You're getting there, some fruits & veges. Can you use Round-up on the weeds and nasties? It works really well, but possibly you don't want to use chemicals. Maybe it could help take out the cudzoo and the bamboo, and poison ivy etc 😬
Darn chipmunks!!! 🐿🐿🐿 Little monsters!!! The garden still looks great... and next year will be even better!!! Did you plant cat nip??? That's pretty easy and fast growing from what I've seen... Just a thought... you could sell it on your CatLady channel!!! Or maybe your vet clinic would allow you to sell it also!!! The baby corn is the cutest little thing!!! 🌽🌽🌽 I can't get over how big the chickens have gotten!!! How many acres of land do you have, if you don't mind me asking??? Love your hard work and determination girl!!! Can't wait for a cabin update!!!
It's a shame about your garden, but, like you said, "next year will be better". What I found that works for controlling snail's is, use jar lids and put beer in them and place them around your garden. (because you can't pick every snail off you plants). I really enjoy watching your and Nug's videos. :)
Do you have any clover, farmers in Scotland before the Industrial Revolution, used to plant clover between the strips of corn to put nutrients back into the soil because corn and the cereal grasses drained the nutrients. Planting clover meant they didn’t have leave the field fallow for a year or season to recover. A snippet I learned in high school history
🫂🫶 Keep hanging in there. Not criticizing or picking, only trying to help 💕. Something I've noticed.(I'm no super gardener) I think some of your plants may be a bit too close together. Ex: sweet corn should be planted 8-12" apart. 💕 Again only mean to help. I think that you & what you are working to accomplish is awesome.
It’s so funny how New England will catch up and go by you guys thing with corn you have to have quite a bit of corn so you get proper germination so weird how your corn stay so small maybe you need to get some moo doo
I've given up on growing veges at the moment, I need to totally net cover everything because the birds & possums eat everything. I had heaps of tomatoes but they were eaten by animals before they even got any colour on them. Also, I've been given notice on this rental, which is causing me immense stress, as every rental on offer is way above what I can manage. Not sure what I'm gonna do 😢
When the trees come down will the traffic noise increase? Little bit worried about that for you? So sad to live in such a beautiful setting to be ruined by unwanted noise. We’ll all be here for nexts year bumper crop!
I know you don't have much time for long videos. I don't like shorts, cause I connect my phone to the tv, watch the video, and comment on the phone. Shorts will always disconnect from my tv/phone.

I’ve been fish and a different organic fertilizer many times with all the rain.

Greens like fall cool and cold weather
Eggs can be traded for someone's extra garden vegetables.

I have fertilized many times, especially with all this rain washing out the nutrients.
Just keep smiling ❤. And remember you have good days and you have great days 😊 no such thing as a bad day ❤❤❤

Don't give up Candace you doing an awesome job❤
Your 🍅 look really good. 👍 and 🔔
Next year will be better! The first year is always a trial run!
When you dig a good size hole for watermelons put sand and bonemeal add some dirty and seeds than some more dirt. When watering the sand will hold water. Put enough in the hole.
Chicken’s love Joro spiders! My friend collects them and gives them to her chickens.
Crushed egg shells will keep slugs/snails away. Concentrate around plant base, until you have enough in all soil beds.
We always used cayenne pepper on the plants to stop the critters. Broken egg shells in the soil around the plants. Kept raccoons,rabbits,skunks, etc out of our vege gardens. ❤
The chipmunk ate my jalapeño, the pepper keeps washing away with the rain, but didn’t seem to stop anything from nibbling.
Done great job i miss your diy videos on the cabin

Can't wait for a cabin update!!!
The catnip has taken over the garden bed that is behind the RV, that was from last year. It’s taller than me!
We have 5 acres.
@@savingthecabin Sell it!!! 😊😊😊
5 acres of mostly trees??? Can't wait to see what you use those for!!! Firewood???
It will get better each year as you improve you site
Hi Candice, missed your videos, take care ❤

I was just reading that bamboo is being used for mulch a lot more these days. Maybe it’s time to invest in a mulcher 😜
Next year your garden should do much better with more sun
I'm sorry the garden didn't do to good, but like you said, next year will be a different story!! 😊
You are amazing! I love your videos. Did any other chipmunks show up after the neighbor’s kitty helped you get rid of one?
We still have many chipmunks, but haven’t sent that cat in a while.
Good Bless

It’s so funny how New England will catch up and go by you guys thing with corn you have to have quite a bit of corn so you get proper germination so weird how your corn stay so small maybe you need to get some moo doo
It’s just needing more light, all the plants have stayed short, even with fertilizer.
Hi Candice, praying you all are safe from hurricane Debby
Not even rain here.

would chives do well in your garden?
Mine seems to thrive in my flower garden
They have only grown to about3 inches.
Are your “not hot peppers” banana peppers?
Yes, mild banana peppers, I had hot banana in a different bed.
When the trees come down will the traffic noise increase? Little bit worried about that for you? So sad to live in such a beautiful setting to be ruined by unwanted noise. We’ll all be here for nexts year bumper crop!
In time we will plant evergreen trees at the road to help with the noise.
Saw on someone's short post what they say is a great weed killer. Dawn vinegar and salt said it works great and no chemicals
Just read on a gardening website that vinegar, Dawn and Epsom salt killing weeds is a myth. Actually not really good for soil. Google it

Add some chicken poop to your garden.
