I love watching Little Mountain Ranch.
Me too! She has a bunch of great gardening and cooking ideas.
I'm a cabbage and cauliflower person, not into broccoli or Brussels sprouts. i have a cabbage that I cut late last fall and left the roots in the ground. It started growing again and now is flowering. i have decided to leave it and hope to save the seeds. Your grow room is amazing. I only have one wire rack in the living room window I'm also planting some carrots that I saved my own seeds on. God bless y'all and keep growing.
We've never gotten into Brussels Sprouts either. Since the grandkids will eat broccoli, I grow a lot of it. They will eat most things if they know it comes from the garden. They enjoy going out and picking things to eat on the spot. (especially the berries) That's cool about the cabbage!!
I love seeing your orchard in bloom. Hope you didnt get hit with snow this week.
So far our orchard has done ok through a few colds nights. As more and more trees start to blossom there is a lot more at risk. Fingers crossed!
I up potted 48 tomato plants yesterday. We are getting nights of freezing temperatures at night this week. I covered my 30 cabbages and carrots with a frost blank hope they make it. I use grass clippings around my plants to hold moisture and keep the weeds at bay. I live in Southern Indiana.
Frost blankets should protect plants pretty well. I do add a thick layer of leaves and grass clippings mixed in the entire bed after I spread compost directly around the plants. It makes a huge difference in moisture retention as well as weed suppression. Thanks for the suggestion.... I'm always looking for better ways to do things.
You're so inspiring and cheerful. 💚💞💚
Thanks SO much for the kind words! 😊
Gardening was my life. I miss it so much. So fun to see you doing it. Enjoy every minute while you can still do it. Your soil looks beautiful. Keep showing us that precious puppy too.
I truly love gardening. Being in our 60's we don't take anything for granted and enjoy all that we are able to do now. The soil didn't look good 4 years ago....it's been an uphill battle to get it healthy, but it's finally in pretty good shape. We'll definitely be showing Ruby in future videos. She's growing like a weed. 🐶
Chelsea's advice did work very well. I told my daughter to put the sheep manure compost she got from my father, around her broccoli plants, and she got huge heads. But the little white cabbage moths found her patch and the side shoots had little green worms. She says she'll never try growing broccoli again. She's a first time gardener here in central Alberta, and she does not like bugs. They really creep her out. But she loves broccoli. I need to show her your video on protecting broccoli with a row cover.
The best way to do organic gardening without spraying anything is to cover it if possible. Since broccoli doesn't need pollinated I keep it covered from planting until harvest. No cabbage moths.
I use a pair of nippers (small pruners for bonsai) to trim the bottom leaves. This could help so you don't have to take your gloves on and off during planting.
Yeah, I had my little trimmers in the golf cart and used them on the rest of them plants. I take off the bottom leaves several times over the summer. It seems to keep them healthier. Thanks for the tip .. I'm always looking for easier/better ways to do things.
You're having great success with your seedlings/plants! I had to restart the tomatoes, started potting them up yesterday. Looks like one more cold spell and then we are good to go. Looking forward to seeing how your market goes this year. Show us the puppy next time 😏🌷
I had one year where the tomatoes just didn't thrive....glad your second batch is doing better. I'm looking forward to the end of cold spells. We'll be sure to show Ruby from time to time. She's growing like a weed. 😁
I had no idea you could do that with coleus. I will have to try that. Thank you for showing the difference between start and up potting dates.
I LOVE getting free plants any way i can. In a few weeks I'll bet propagating mums and lavender from cuttings. I'll do a video.... I had good success last year and learned a few things.
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 I love getting and giving free plants. I’m learning so many can be propagated instead of purchasing from the store; I think most people (me included) just don’t know which ones can be.
Enjoyed the video
So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
We all love broccoli whatever way it comes here . Brussel are delicious seared in bacon 🥓 or slaw . Cauliflower cheese soup is the only way to make em edible .
My zinnias are just going bonkers here in NZ I wont get our first frost til late April .
We've never enjoyed Brussels Sprouts...maybe never cooked them the right way??? Hmmm...I've made Broccoli Cheese Soup, I'll have to try Cauliflower Cheese Soup. Enjoy your Zinnias as long as you can. 😊
About 20 years ago we lived in the southwest part of Chester County Pa, Lincoln University. Our neighborhood was built on a 20 acre parcel of a Mennonite farm. Each house was on 2 acres. It was the first time I ever grew a garden. In my opinion it was effortless. The soil was so rich. I grew a variety of broccoli called Green Comet. 4 plants gave us enough broccoli to eat through the season and enough to freeze that would last until late Feb. Watching your videos makes me miss that area so much! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
That is a beatiful part of PA...and a very fertile area. South Central PA is a wonderful place to live. Sorry you miss it. 😔 Thanks for watching and you all have a great weekend too!
Love it. I’ve been getting my hands dirty too lol
2 questions, 1) which fertilizer did you use for flowers & 2) are those shop lights or grow lights? 😊
Getting our hands dirty is SOO good for us. I use Dr. Earth Organic Fertilizer that is for Veges and Flowers. I just mix a little bit in with the potting soil. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/Dr-Earth-Tomato-Vegetable-Fertilizer/dp/B079TC6H83/ref=sr_1_5?crid=19W7V72KO9D74&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.nlK6VPQd3o5T5Fn2FJluTCdPqF9P1LIVQ7vr3gmKPqVjx44WJQQ1vCd0ST-OsJyyQxDVElqSLc74Voi1Iq2TG_9F0rACXbO_VhU5qpdQFmnoDwOD02uj2wDJcyoQJ46kekcoNe6ItZCzpRNbjVhxznObAWS-xl6c1vASIm3RnLSgC8k96G1GBAg99zopMNYgvxuV5APgAgLQ_9-_TUCmyjzQOTwHK7BAkT4P3uah73nweYhMH3jGW2f7HrZUUyE4q9Zv7WN7br7t1AFGSrbseb3vlTDT30uLpOT_ByHyTyU.HWgJxm3eMMK1uTS54f5UEA03NCT1FHkfXf1nlO38IbI&dib_tag=se&keywords=dr+earth+organic&qid=1712260582&sprefix=dr+earth+organic%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-5
Wow, that's a long link. 😯 As for the lights, they are just LED shop lights. They do a great job and are less expensive than actualy "Grow lights"
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 lol that ‘was’ a long link! Thanks. I bought grow lights, but they ended up being too short, & shop lights are cheaper. Guess I’ll be upgrading…or is that downgrading haha
It is crazy how plant starter prices are. I quit counting around $3K worth of plants that I started. I compared them to nursery and Lowe’s prices. I only spent about $400 in soil and seeds to get started.
Definitely....I can't even imagine how much it would cost if I were to buy all of these plants. If it's a possibility, growing from seed is the way to go. Have a great gardening season!!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 you as well!
Beautiful results already! I'm curious as to how many hours per day your grow lights are on through the winter, and also, could you possibly share the brand & colour of your lipstick? I notice it from time to time & really like it!😄Thanks from Ontario, where I'm looking out at a spring snowstorm...
In the winter when it's just the ferns and fodder I only have them on for 12 hours. Now that I have garden plants in there I keep them on for 15 hours/day. As for the Lipstick....I'm sorry, I just grab one out of my drawer and there are about 10 of them.. It would be a different one in almost every video. Sorry I couldn't be more help. The only good thing about Spring snowstorms is that them melt quickly. Hopefully it will be your last. Thanks for watching!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 Thanks for the reply & info on the lights. I commented to my husband that I wonder if you're of Italian or other European ancestry (other than Dutch like your husband's family) so thought I'd check out your 💄colour as I suspect we have similar colouring, & I'm needing to buy some soon. Anyway, enough of my detour from farm topics!
@@bluesky1028-w8d Yes, the Waardenburg is Dutch, but I'm 100% German ancestry. No Italian that I know of. ☺
I’m in Pennsylvania also, where is your farm?
We are in Mechanicsburg... Cumberland County. It's South Central Pennsylvania.
Why don’t you open the roots up a little bit before you plant your plant?
Hello. If you watch when I planted the second broccoli plant I did pull the bottom open a bit. They weren't terribly root bound so I only did it to the worst ones. Thanks for checking, though...... I'm always looking to learn.
