Back To Eden Garden Tour First Year Lessons Learned

We take you for a tour of our garden and show you our successes and failures. One thing we want to convey is how large a garden you should take on in your first year of homesteading. That will vary depending on your station in life but we thing we overdid it. Come walk around with us and see what we planted and how the Back to Eden Garden performed.

I think you did very good. Don't stress out over it. The most important thing in life is spending time with your family. Living in Texas with all that heat and working in a garden is very hard. I live in Ontario Canada which is much cooler. Our vegetables are just starting to come into season now. We cannot plant till the end of May because of the frost. Take care I love your videos.

Take it easy brother. You are doing great. I can see God is with you. Keep going forward and have FUN, it's work yes, try to enjoy it more though. My garden is full of grass and bugs now but I am still getting tomatoes and peppers, I also got a small mess of kale greens today. I love it all, and we are truly blessed. Keep the faith! God is good!

Thanks brother. We are chilling about the work amount. Just wanted to let fellow homesteaders know about the challenges that lay ahead.

I live in Northeast Texas and Bahia grass is the absolute bane of my gardening experience! (Yet we need it for our cattle) I've been researching the BTE method, the No Dig and the Ruth Stout method. I've planted a combo of the three so far this year. I've seen out in our own pastures time and again how beneficial old hay is to the earth so we'll see. I'm very impressed by the fact you still have cucumbers in August. I haven't been able to successfully raise them past June. I've yet to find green beans that make it - other than pintos picked green. Great video! I've followed your channel.

Thanks for watching and glad you are here!
Yes, the grass is brutal. The back to eden seems to have mitigated the grasses very nicely but I still have to stay on top of it constantly. Yea, the cucumbers have done really well here and produce like crazy. Although last year, the Thrips got them and I only gt about half the harvest.

Thanks for the post. Keep hart. You did a lot of work. It's hard working in the hot weather, working, raising a family, etc. You did a good job.

Just subscribed. My wife and I are looking into the "Back to Eden" garden for our place. Thank you for all the hard work you are doing; this helps us understand what it's going to take for the next season.

Hey hey man it's not out of shape at all. You harvested so you succeeded. You can work out the bugs this fall. Besides everybody has to start over in the spring.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks. I hear ya.

In south ms- now I don’t know how it works, but I’ve heard elderberry tea is an amazing natural pesticide- soaking leaves for a few days in water in the sun and water plants with it. Gonna try it this season figured I’d pass the info along Incase you grew any elder (it’s native everywhere here)

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Interesting. I had never heard that. I will give it a shot if I can find elderberries.
