REMEMBER……you cannot direct the winds but you can adjust your sails. You are one hardworking person
Very true! Thank you!
You take such good care of your body. As someone who comes from a generational woodworking family, I encourage you to wear a respirator mask when milling and protect your lungs ❤
Thanks for the tip!
It was Linnea who turned me on to AG1 almost 2 years ago. It has damn near been life changing for me. For someone who doesn't eat veggies often, it fulfills all my daily needs for sure. And the lack of bloating after a meal has been absolutely incredible. and NO this is not a paid post. This is real life!
@jonathanJonez, greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 and my rural life!!
That's so awesome to hear, Jonathan! I'm really glad it's made such a powerful impact on you!
It’s such a blessing that you’re documenting all of this! In 25 years you’ll be able to see where it all began 👌
Wow won't that be absolutely wild! Very cool.
OMG I love this and I hope you grow many bountiful crops!
I've been an avid gardener since I was little. But after my divorce 15+ years ago I became a renter. Even with renting I have found a way. My current place I've been here 4 years and I have four raised beds bought online and I have beans, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, peppers and tomato. This year I enriched my soil again and everything is thriving! Love my little garden.
Happy planting!
How much fun is it to be you? I smiled this entire video! Such great neighbors…. Nothing better than having someone to not only teaching you…. But really wanting you to succeed! Yay! Thrilled to death for you! Hugs
Aw thank you so much!
Reading all the comments while I’m watching, I can’t stop agreeing with all these fine folks. We love you, girl. Actually, we love all four of ya. All the best!
Thank you so much!
I do that every video! I’ve also noticed there are A LOT of us older folks over 60 here who connect with her ❤ If I could do my life over, I’d be doing it much more like Linnea!
@@jenniferd264 I total get that, but don’t forget what Radney Foster says in the song “Half of My Mistakes”…”If I had it all to do over
I'm sure I'd win and lose just as much.” But then the best part, “Spend a lot less time on right and wrong
And a lot more time on love.”
@@ABCpdc thank you! I love that!
Hi sweet girl! As the granddaughter of farmers I can give you a couple planting tips that may help along the way! One tip is that a great way to extend your crop is by staggering your planting ~ especially for me peas and beans. Plant half your seeds now and then in August you can plant another round and have a crop into fall! It's a great way to make the most of it all because it is more manageable. The other tip is if you plant corn again, they like to be planted in little hills (picture an exaggerated ant hill) and then plant 3-4 seeds in the top of each hill. Also , corn likes to be planted in side by side rows, not one long row ~ it has to do with how they pollinate and I did find this tip (God Bless my grandfather and his patience!) changed my success with planting corn. Hope this will help you succeed!!
Great tips - thank you so much for the advice!
James and Doreen are such treasures.
Your voice over and photography is BEAUTIFUL!!💛
You add so much joy to my life. As an old lady in a small flat in England, watching you and Chris, and of course the beautiful dogs, just means the world to me. Thankyou . Claire
Aw thank you so much!
Kobuk and Akela playing and getting the zoomies is the BEST ❤
Loved seeing you start your garden - and all the rest of it, too. The four of you are so wonderful to watch, and the closing scene of you both sitting and having popcorn, was beautiful. What a sweet family. And yes, would love that crockpot recipe.
Love seeing James. That man is a true friend who’s always willing to help 👍
He's a gem, for sure.
I can't wait to watch your garden grow!! I love watching the furbabies interact with you and Chris. You two are a sweet couple! ❤
Thank you so much!
I always look forward to seeing your new videos. I've also got my 70 year old parents watching with me now. My dad recently said "wouldn't it be great to meet them the next time we're visiting Colorado?" He loves you and Chris, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the pups 😉 lol as always, thank you for the hard work that goes into sharing these videos with us. It is truly appreciated :)
Seeing the four of you enjoying this new chapter is pretty awesome....I will say it again, You are one badass!
Thank you so much!
My husband is a herbalist and the plants are continually speaking to him. I’m starting to learn how to hear them now too. So much to learn…❤
That's amazing!
That was fun!!! Starting a garden and watching it grow is one of the most wonderful fulfilling experiences ever!!! Save the seeds from those wonderful tomatoes and plant them next year! Rainbow carrots!!! They are delicious! I love them! You have an unlimited supply of water... now to get it to the garden! Hoses! Lots of hoses! And water bibs everywhere!!! Have fun and enjoy the journey!
Linnea, this new chapter in your journey is so wonderful!! Your happiness comes through so beautifully and fills us all with joy just to be with you!
Thank you for taking us along. With love & Blessings til next time! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
I love, Love, LOVE, watching this new chapter of your life. You're doing a phenomenal job at documenting it too! I can't wait to see the progress.
Thank you so much!
Irish Spring soap really works to keep critters from eating your plants.
And cayenne pepper
Oo good to know - thank you!
I literally get butterflies watching your content❤ I just wish I could have lived my younger years living that way!! Must be so fulfilling ✨🏵️🌱 beautiful garden!!!
Thank you so much!
Oh wowww we're so excited to have three videos this week 😊 so much going on, Miss Linnea. But as always you enjoy numerous projects and a champion doing them all!! You and Chris look so great planting ty ty for sharing ❤
Thank you so much!
@Linneaandakela your so welcome beautiful one's
I know you know this but what a blessing to have such awesome neighbors. I loved helping my grandma with her garden. It was like Christmas going out to see what was ready to harvest. I have to try your crockpot chicken it looks delicious.
Yes - I feel very, very fortunate!
Dang girl. When you catch up on editing, you catch up on editing! lol You were busy! How exciting! Can't wait to watch the garden grow. Akela and Kobuk are living the doggie dream life❤
Haha what a week, right?!
Congrats on starting your garden in the desert.....no matter how much you glean from it this year, you will win the title of, A Gardener! You must admit, it has a nice ring to it. I love those dogs! See you next time from Central Oklahoma.
Your little place and the garden reminds me of the pioneer times and how hard they worked to keep their homestead going. I would love to have a place like that and grow my own food. Maybe someday.
So true! Thank you so much!
I’m so excited for you, and I love to see you so happy about gardening! Gardening is one of those things that I worry I would miss so much if I were on the road full-time. I hope the deer will leave your plants alone! You may find yourself building a tall fence to protect your hard work. I love this new chapter in your life!
Thank you so much!
This is definitely you young lady , bags of potting compost , you can always make wooden things to plant in the world is yours Linnea and you need food for them to as they grow , don’t forget you need a watering can my dear 👍❤❤
Thank you so much!
Gardening is one of the greatest joys in life! Awesome video as always! ❤️
I totally agree!
Braiding Sweetgrass!! I always give it as a gift ..
That's a wonderful present!
So much fun, plus a huge sense of accomplishment. I love how you & Chris support each other's dreams. You have a unique, but happy, high functioning relationship. Couples could take a lesson from the two of you.
Thank you so much!
You have the coolest freaking neighbors! Of all the places you got one of the best for sure!
Yes - struck gold!
I binge watch you. You know what I love the most is when Chris pops in. You two are so beautiful together. You both have the biggest smiles when you're together. Love you guys. Stay free. Hugs to your awesome babies.
That sunset shot at the end though 🥲 thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us, Linnea!
It's my pleasure - I'm so glad you're enjoying!
This just made my whole body and soul smile😊❤.
I'm so so glad!
Lolol, you are a peach honey girl 😂
I just love your excitement for everything you do!!
Reminds me of me, 45 yrs ago when I first started planting....my husband's uncle told me a bunch and he gave me the best thing in the world for a garden!!! Pig poop 😃 I learned to fertilize with it and girllll....let me tell you , in 5 days my seeds were jumping out of the ground!!
You just have to be careful that the poop is good and dried out, and turned into the soil well. But it is smelly, lolol neighbors could smell it the first good rain we had 😂😅 but I didn't say a word and they had no idea what it was.😮
Read up on your seeds, know how long it takes till harvest , you did good with the straw around them. You need some okra, you can get spinless drawf that does good here down south and we get to 110 or so in the summer. Did you get some squash?? You need them. Yellow crock neck is easy.
Lolol....anywho... looks good and hope it all does well for you hun. If I can help give me a shout, I don't mind at all. ❤
You are really moving forward with your garden. Thank you for sharing.😊❤
Thanks for watching!
i love that western and native and i agree they have been living on earth far more than us and the plant can tell us her story, we need learn to listen " i learn a lot from your videos and its wonderful wholesome 🎀🌵🌿☀️🌻🌼🌧✨️
The way you document the process from the beginning, despite initial reservations, is both inspiring and insightful. It's a testament to resilience, determination, and the beauty of embracing new beginnings, whether in gardening, projects, or life itself.
I am Floating Village Life.
Thank you so much!
Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my favorite books! I have seen Robin Wall Kimmerer speak twice and met her one of those times. She is from the upstate NY region where I live. She is an amazing spirit and super inspiring! I read and reread chapters of the book all the time. My husband and add I bought land and RWK has taught me so much about how to appreciate everything about it. The Honorable Harvest is a favorite chapter of mine. So good to see you enjoying your place. With Your hard work and thoughtful approach, you’re sure to be successful! ☀️
Gardening is a life long experiment. It’s wonderful and frustrating and rewarding. Enjoy!
Absolutely!
I enjoy watching your journey. It brings me joy and calm. Thank you.
I'm so glad!
Celebrating your joyful seeds of new beginnings! Putting up a hardware cloth fence would exclude nibbley rodents who want to eat your plants, as well as the snakes that will want to eat the rodents (and that would enjoy the shade of your plants). Also, a wind break might become important to keep the hay (and soil!) on the ground and the moisture inside... It looks so wonderfully windy in many of your videos. Carry on, awesome woman! Thx for Sweetgrass.
What a gorgeous video! Thank you, Linnea ! Hands to the ground, caring, and cultivating is so harmoniously beautiful.
I just love gardening. There is nothing better than being able to eat what I grow. I grow lettuce, green peppers, thyme, rosemary, mint, spearmint, & hot peppers (3 kinds) and then I make sauces for the winter and I live in New York. I started doing it when Covid started and haven’t stopped since. You are going to be so happy with your garden when it actually grows
Not sure why, but that chapter reminded so much of my favorite movie ending of all time. "When I am alone in the half light of the canyon, all existence seem to fade to a being with my soul and memories; And the sounds of the big black foot river, a four count rhythm, and a hope that a fish will rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The rivers were cut by the worlds great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks, are timeless rain drops; under the rocks are the words; and some of the words are theirs."
WOW WHAT GREAT NEIGHBORS YOU HAVE!!!
I'm very blessed!
Just listening to this while I do paperwork (I work from home). So happy for you guys ❤
Thank you!
What a lovely, sweet, tender video. Love this next chapter in your life!
Thank you!
I love the music you have chosen for your videos. It has introduced me to some new artists and I'm grateful.
Also, your enthusiasm during everything is so wonderful and endearing. I love that you include clips of things not going perfectly (like the camera falling over or such)
And as always, nothing but blessings and love to you, chris and your two perfect pups
So wonderful to see the joy you are experiencing from your land. Be well and enjoy the journey!
Thank you so much!
That parting shot is perfection. Love this channel so ! Thanks :)
Thank you!
Have you looked into wicking beds seeing as though you are scarce with water? You can repurpose old refrigerators that have been thrown out as garden beds. And maybe you might want to look into starting your own compost heap as you have loads of land to work with and your soil looks dry. Old food scraps, cardboard etc so much goodness you can save from landfill and then add back into your gardens. And you can also do a separate dog poop worm farm and get some great worm castings using an old bucket. Lots of ideas that are real low budget. Can’t wait to see your garden grow it’s a magical feeling!
If you can pick up some raw sheep fleeces (shorn, unwashed) from someone, you can pick apart the fleece and use it to cover the soil instead of the straw. The wool will retain moisture much better than the straw and I feel it's better at protecting the plants with the cold drop at night. I've seen some folks wrap the roots of plant transplants with wool too. Anything to keep that topsoil and moisture, I grew up in the high desert of AZ and man, those winds don't fuck around. Excited for ya!
I love how your dogs just stilling there lol.
Really enjoyed this one! Recently retired in Minnesota and so enjoying watching what the plants are doing in my new free time. Your videos over the years have really brightened my days. Thank you for sharing with us. ☮
Aw I'm so glad to hear that! :)
God….. I just can’t stop smiling while watching this episode ……….😆
I'm so so glad!
Last thought as you spread that straw hay🎉 many years ago I started out doing that but what I didn't realize is how many weeds that comes with those Bales and some of those weeds come from places that don't have the same vegetation😮 I have professional weed mat down some of which that has been there for 30 years😮 some of that same weed mat has been in and out of the garden sometimes used sometimes not some has had gravel on top of it and 30 years later it's still holding up pretty darn well❤ in the High Mountain Desert trying to grow an organic garden where every granule of topsoil is a treasured pebble❤
Love it! Oh, how I miss gardening. If you've never heard of Asparagus Beans, please look it up & consider planting. Years ago I saw these & was intrigued, so I bought a pack to plant & was amazed. They are super fun to grow, taste great & unusual (especially stir-fried), very good for you, & you only have to buy them once. Those things grow from 1-1/2 to 3-feet long. The taste is kinda nutty & is a cross between asparagus, mushrooms, & beans. You can thank me later, lol. ;-)
ok im gonna say it , she is a bad ass, that womans inner candle burns bright!!!
Thank you so much!
You will LOVE morning coffee checking the growth of your garden. It’s definitely my happy place- it’s absolutely soul soothing. I JUST finished the tomato products I canned from last years gardens. Pasta sauce- pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, bruschetta and stewed tomatoes with garlic. This week- once I get my hens settled in ( they’re arriving tomorrow ♥️) I’m cutting and processing my garlic scapes.
Try garlic scape pesto...it freezes beautifully and it's delicious.
I couldn't agree with you more about growing your own food, especially when you have such open space.
That can be a negative sometimes instead of a positive. I think the most important thing for you to do is consider an environment for your plants and with your handy skillsets you could erect garden beds with something mesh for shade in sever heat it would help with moisture.
Probably the easiest in that climate would be a greenhouse, tbh.
Hello, I just started watching you and I do say You ROCK! We only live on this earth once and you are doing what you want and Love. You are amazing and I am so honor to watch your journey, Thank you for sharing. Be Bless !!!!
Aw thank you so much!
:) gO Linnea! WELL DONE indeed! LOVED the Pups zoomies and your JOY in planting! :) Your smile and Labour of love is contagious :) ALL the BEST and ENJOY! ! ! Cheers : )
Thank you so much!
I love gardening too! I like to watch simple living Alaska- she has so many good ideas. We’re in Wyoming but it’s actually pretty similar to Alaska because our soil was so bad
Linnea, you're going to have to get a fence. Two feet a least. There are rabbits and turtles and other little critters that will eat your garden if you don't protect it
I was going to post this too. Gardening in the city is one thing...nothing but snails gave me a problem. But wild land is quite the different experience. She will need a high fence, and she'll need to dig it deep as well.
Turtles? Actually 6 feet minimum for deer.
@TWEnglish100 Yes turtles, I lived in Colorado lots of turtles. Not much deer, maybe antelopes. They never bothered the garden.
@@TWEnglish100yeah. Here were she lives, the deer are the big issue.
@@valeriestraw6966 I was born in Colorado. Trust me, there are plenty of deer. Colorado is a very diverse state. I had moose in my backyard.
That scene at the end 😮
Hi Linnea here is a tip use Pete Moss it holes water 💦 for the plants 🌱 I am from Holland we use it all ways. Make a hole big than you fists then add plant and back fill slowly Press down lately add water 💦
7:25 I get that same joy watching my dogs play, too. 🥰 They make me laugh every day.
It’s 7:06…the zoomies
They're the absolute best!
Crockpot liners are the best!! lol and I reallly hope your garden is bountiful , because you deserve it!!!❤
Thank you so much!
Garden is awesome, keep mulching it up, chop and drop! A wood plank on top of your carrots will help them germinate too.
Good tip - thank you!
You go super woman!!! Love watching the pups playing! Awesome video!❤
Thank you!
You can build two raised beds about 4 feet apart and put a cattle panel arched between them for the beans to climb and hang down from. Works for winter squash and melons too!
Great idea!
Am looking forward to see how your straw mulch cover goes with the wind you have there !!! As well as seeing the development of your plantings. The satisfaction of picking produce that you have grown is a wonderful experience....good luck.
Yes - I can't wait!
For what it's worth I've found a spading fork works well for breaking up ground. It's short handle and thick tines make it go right between rocks with way less effort. Beautiful video as always!
You should look at the use of Olla pots or clay pots. They are buried and filled with water and the water gradually seeps out only when the ground is dry......a wicking system. You plant around the pot in the center. Of course mulching also helps with water retention and green compost teas to fertilise the soil.
Oh cool idea - I'll look into them. Thank you!
It's so great to see how encouraging Chris with your projects. ❤
Isn't he wonderful?
The day you got water iwas screaming plant trees!
I agree! Trees for food, shade, wind block and beauty. Not rushing and observing the land as the seasons change is an important element in planning what should go where. So much to know!
Yesss! It's high on my to-do list!
I absolutely LOVE WATCHING THE PUPS 🐶 PLAY ..... MAKES MY HEART WARM . THANKS FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING JOURNEY N ADVENTURE WITH ME. MUCHO LOVE ALWAYS FROM YOUR FRIEND IN MICHIGAN, TAM ❤❤❤❤
Ps.them BURRITO'S LOOKED AMAZING YUMMY 😋 😍 MINUS - THE CHICHEN ONLY BEANS FOR ME ,MAYBE A LITTLE REG BURGER . I DONT EAT MUCH MEAT ANYMORE. BUT MY HUBBY CHOWS IT .
Thank you so much, Tammy!
New peas and potatoes. To die for.
I will be following you as you r working on your property making it your own. I tried growing a garden when in Yuma in containers. Just had no luck whatsoever. I spent some time in Florida. There I bought a raised bed from wayfair.
I used my crockpot as a humidifier all last winter. I thought I had ruined it because I couldn't get this horrible crust off of it. It's ceramic. I soaked it over night with some white vinegar and water and Tah Dah, it was gone! :)
Wonderful! Vinegar is the best.
You may wish to try straw bale gardening, especially good for tomatoes. Joel Karsten wrote the book on it. Also, try dragons tongue bush beans, a delicious heirloom variety available at Baker seeds. It's a fairly flat bean, yellow and purple in color, very tender and mild flavor. Good luck with your garden! I just harvested my first sugar snap peas today here in Wisconsin.
How wonderful that you’re getting so much generous support from your neighbors.
Growing your own food is the best! So primal, and so utterly amazing what develops from such minuscule beings (ie seeds). Experimenting in the garden is so much fun! Excited to see how your garden develops!
Among other veggies, I’m currently really enjoying harvesting and eating all parts of beets. Yum!
(Are you wearing hearing protection for those loud power tools?)
Simple, living Alaska just planted their garden, totally different climate, but you would be able to get lots of good tips. Their garden totally rocks and they started with next to nothing but lots of knowledge. Also, just a really great RUclips couple.
We’re in eastern Wyoming but I have learned so much from Eric and Ariel- they had bad soil at both places and they have a lot of sunlight so it actually makes it pretty similar to growing other places (like Colorado high desert)
Again, wonderful video. It's like watching the beautiful ending to a movie but it's the whole video. Another amazing one! ❤
Aw that's a lovely way to put it. Thank you!
Ask farmers or on the town fb page for any mineral tubs that are empty. You look up Leon’s wicking tubs or buckets of RUclips. Sooo easy …. We do galvanized tubs stock tanks with 6 inch French drain pipe covered in the sock material in the bottom. We drill a hole about 6 inches up and insert a pvc drain pipe (1-1.5 inches diameter ) then we use a pvc pipe that is at the opposite end from the drain pipe. I cut it probably 1.5 from the soil level. This way you only use this pipe to fill the tank. You add all nutrients in here as well. It waters the roots not the top. Water wicks up from the bottom. Use water soluble nutrients. Easy peasy..
Raised beds are def the way to go! But, why not try both to see what works best for you in the region your in. I'm speaking from experience, better drainage in raisedbeds. Good planting👍
Exactly! I'm doing half/half this year to see what works best here.
Love watching you. I love raised beds. We have lots of in ground animals that will eat my plants from the bottom. The first thing I put in my raised bed is chicken wire. Then cardboard then sticks and mulched leaves. Then my soil. It works great.
Great tips - thank you!
Gardens are wonderful, looks like you are off to a great start! Have you thought about what creatures will come to eat from your garden, especially the new young plants and yummy seeds? By us, we first have to build and reinforce the fortress, then plant :)
Its all coming together!! ✨
This was a wise choice- to work your soil and learn gardening.
Love the journey ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Loved seeing you try to train akela out of the planters, my childhood dog was a shepherd mix and she acted the exact same way
Im not sure , but if you have bunnies or Jack rabits, you may have to fence your garden. I hope it grows great for you. I so proud of how hard you work, and you are going for your dream!
Thanks for the tips!
I think you'll need something to protect them from the wind and perhaps a shade cloth as well. Nice little set up. its all coming together!
Good for you! And us! Thank you so much!!
Rebar pounded in the ground, with chicken wire surrounding your garden might be a easy deterant for the pups.
Good idea!
I love the music u play for us thank u . U make the perfect videos . I cant wait for you post ... You're Truly Inspirational... n dont forget Beautiful to follow ❤❤❤❤. Im so excited n happy for U Linnea. Your in your piece of heaven .... and i bet it feels amazing good for U !!!!!!!!
Don't forget to plant borage in your garden as it keeps deer and such away. Also, planting all kinds of herbs throughput helps with insects away.
Thank you!
I tried raised beds and large pots this year instead of tilling a garden. It's much easier to control the moisture the plants are getting here in S. Texas, so I believe it's a better way to garden.
Great to know - thank you!
