Was thinking about you just the other day, it’s been a while since your hostage looking video. Glad to see you’re doing well it looks like you’re getting settled in just fine. Looking forward to more Pippiisms in the future. Love that you’re showing us how your thought process works, always trying to anticipate what’s going to go wrong in the future and fix it first. Anyway, glad you’re back good to see you
Glad to see you again too Kevin! I might need to do a live video soon, maybe this week.
@@PippiPeterson That would be great! Name the time I know the place. 😁
Does my heart good to see you doing youtube with a smile on your face again! Cute hat!✌😎🏴☠️
We have missed you!!!! Glad to see you back!!!!!
Great to see you back! Missed watching your videos. You are so informative and trying something new! I'll watch the video before this one as I missed it. We live on a farm and have a huge garden every year. And what we don't plant my brother does. You will never like store bought veggies again.
It is awesome to see you again young lady! My wife and I have always been followers and we are always amazed by your skills and fierce tenacity. Thank you for another amazing video and bless you.
Thanks so much Ray! It’s nice to be back!
Welcome back pippi!😀👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's always fun to see Pippi's new adventures. Great Video
Pippi Sue.....Glad to see uuuuuuuuuuuu!
Good to see you back.
Peak moss and humus mixed as soil works great too.
Pippi working on a project, the dogs playing and soaking up the sun and planting beds on the way! The world is right! 😎‼️
I’ve read all the comments. I know some folks are worried about you. IMO, It’s hard for people, in general, to let things come to fruition. Just wait and see what happens. But, what I saw so much of in these comments was an outpouring of love for you. For us who have been with for so long, it so gratifying to see that.
Pippi I’m very happy you’re back, certainly are missed.
I am aware things change but happy you’re still wanting to come by with updates.
Pippi!! Happy to see you are alive and well! I was ready to send the search team out!
Miss seeing your posts Pippi. I hope you are settling well into house life and the new job is going well.
Thanks! I’m hoping to get back to more frequent posting. It’s been cumbersome moving in and starting the job but things are easing up a bit
@@PippiPeterson good to hear I bet it was hard making the call to sell the rv and go into a house. Long time watcher and neat seeing you evolve as time goes by. Stay safe and happy
I’ve never seen raised beds done like that but why not? (I’m something of a gardener). The cardboard bottom will deter ground contamination but isn’t ideal. They are pretty deep. As you said, it’s a lot of soil to fill them.
Last time I saw you it was in Texas but I can’t identify the property.
That much soil you might buy a half a dump truck of it then top off with better topsoil.
Get the hard work out of the way in the cool weather.
Good growing Pippi. 🐸
Nice to see ya again!
Would love regular updates on this and the design
Glad your back. Missed you. videos. You were gone to long.
Yay! Happy to see you!
There they are! I just found better entertainment for halftime! Miss y’all!
Hey Pippi, So nice to see a vid from you. The new homestead looks great with the raised beds. And the huge back yard is perfect for Chase and Pearl. Wishing you a blessed new year and always!
Fruit trees can be kept in check with pruning. You don't have to let the canopy achieve maximum spread. Pruning leads to better harvests. Besides, you'll have years before they mature, you can (and probably will) move the beds.
Northernmost corner of the yard has the most sunlight potential depending on the surroundings.
You can probably skip the cardboard as it would be very difficult for anything to grow up through 12"+ of soil.
These are great! Thanks for sharing!
This had to be one of your best and funniest videos EVER! Instead of the carefree lifestyle we came to expect, it shows how life really is. GOOD FOR YOU! Glad to see that you are doing well, and the dogs as well. How about an update on what life is really like... work, play, house, etc.
Yeah happy day another pippy video with the puppies
So happy to see you, Chase, and Pearly so happy! I'm so glad the dogs have a nice yard to roam and be free and safe! GO PIPPI, GO! :)
You might try dwarf fruit trees. Full-size fruit, but a smaller tree and easier to pick the fruit.
Great to see you and the kids again!
And very timely info on the raised beds for my family and me! :-)
Great video Pippi
We miss your live show!!
Just thinking I need to do one this week. Maybe thursday like old times!
I bet it feels nice to be able to make a garden this year!!! :-) Hope your food grows bountifully. I'm doing some container gardening this year... more than last year, not as much as I hope to do next year. :-) A growing skill. haha
I'm glad to see you're happy and healthy. I worry.
While I was in college I worked at a nursery. One of my manager's favorite sayings was that 'Dirt was something you cleaned out from under your fingernails while soil was what you used for planting' so find some good quality "soil" for your raised planting beds. Glad you are back and looking forward to future videos.
I got special veggie soil. I’m hoping it’ll be really good for my garden 😄
To solve the heat problem from the sun you could spray paint the outside white with waterproof paint . You could also spray paint the toxic wood with safe paint they use on farms, I really don’t know what paint to use for that. Nice to see you doing something fun, it’s going to wind up giving you delicious healthy food.
Sun is in abundance during the summer in Texas. Partial shade can be a lifesaver.
Out of all the RUclips subscriptions that I have I enjoy yours the most, look forward to your next video.
Awww, thank you!
Paint the outside of the metal walls of the beds white. That will help reflect some of the sun and heat and keep them a little cooler. Love to see the finished house tour.
If you want your potted plants from drying out. Keep some grass clipping from your lawn mower bagger.. Put a layer of clippings about 1 to 2 inches thick.. cheap yet does the job.
I’ll need to get a lawn mower first but will remember that! Thanks!
Yesterday, I was wondering where you have been and now here you are.
Nice to see you, nice yard.... stay safe..
So great to see you & Chase & Pearl! Can't wait to see the completion of your boxes. I've been wanting to do something similar!
Awesome, Pippi. Looking forward to more Pippi garden adventures!!
Nice 👍😀💜
Have missed you Pippi and this is so awesome to see you along with Chase and Pearl. Great looking raised beds and as always you did a great job on them. Hugs all around and do keep in touch.
Thanks Leann!
Who is this strange woman speaking of gardens and planting in raised beds? She looks familiar! Ahh!! Lol!! Just kidding!
Great to see you again and that you are alive and well! Thanks for the update. Be safe and God bless!
For raised beds. Find a big new foundation that somebody is putting in. There will be 2x10s and 2x12s they are stripping after they pour the concrete. You live in Texas so watch out for diesel sprayed boards. Cut the boards whatever size you want, but to fit with your hardware cloth. Get 1/2 hardware cloth and staple it to the bottom to keep critters out. Hardware cloth is like mesh.
You can make the ones you got work by just framing it in some. It's nice to make them out of old wood that is not treated and just let it rot it will last for years. It's technically ok to use groundtreated but not a good esthetic. Regular wood will last for years and it's not your house so who cares?
I was watching this video and thinking," Pippi needs me", so thanks for that.
Congratulations on your new life. Awesome home and garden. Amazing backyard for your best friends.
Instead of treated lumber which might be poisonous, you might try concrete blocks. My father had a green house which had trouble with bug infestation in the wooden beds. He replaced them with concrete blocks and never had trouble with bugs again. The concrete could be drilled and long bolts might be used to provide reusable connection points to the metal sheeting. I don't know if it is not allowed in your neighborhood, but you might dig a hole for a small pond and use the removed dirt if suitable for your raised garden bed. It would be less expense than bringing in soil for the garden. Good to hear from you again.
I like the idea of a small pond. I’m sure the birds would love that. Unfortunately so would snakes and rats.
@@PippiPeterson I forgot to say if you live in an area with septic tanks, its probably not a good idea to dig holes, or to use the dirt, as it may have septic residue in it. If you are on city sewer line, the soil is probably ok.
Super nice beds you've made! You'll be surprised how much you'll yield from those two beds! Good seeing you, garden on Sweetie! Thumbs-up video ~John
I hope so! Very much looking forward to it!
It's nice to hear from you again. Be careful about using treated wood for your raised beds. Treated wood is known to poison the soils. ;) Update . . . You could use 16"x8"x8" Concrete Blocks from Home Depot. With 24 blocks at $1.45 each and you can build a 8'x4'x8" raised bed and have less than $30.00 invested. No poison chemicals used.I love you Pippi.
Hey there, good to see you and the dogs again. Funny how you posted this. I'm contemplating a raised garden in my backyard. You've definitely have good ideas.
I did something similar except i used 4x4 untreated timber stacked about 12" high nailed together 4' x 8' and filled with peat moss- topsoil compost mix...easy to mow around
Great to see that bright happy smile again :) Can't wait for the upcoming adventures in your new place. Hey how about a little tour of the house?✨
You can do dwarf fruit trees it’ll take up a lot less space and still give you a good Yell
So happy to see you in your beautiful back yard, with Chase and Pearl!!! I love your raised gardens and can't wait to see the finished product. I'd like to do something similar with my very small backyard. I have about 40 milkweed plants back there for the monarchs, so I'll have to work around those.
Ooooh nice! I’m sprouting some milkweeds now just for them! Hoping to attract butterflies and bees.
@@PippiPeterson that's awesome!!! Plant them, and they will come!
Glad to see you back
Good to see you back.
So, where'd you base yourself (generally)?
Looks good !
We all need to be growing!
Weed killer tip. 1 gallon white vinegar, 1tbs salt, and a couple drops of dish soap (Ajax. Not detergent) with a all purpose spray bottle. Kills as good as roundup and is non toxic.
Hey Pippi!!!
So good to see you again. How are you enjoying being settled in one place? I love your raised garden bed idea and especially your back yard to be creative with and do many outdoor projects you can do and share with us😉😉
Nice to see you Pippi.
Your back! Yea!
I would screw a 1x2 to the top of metal for hand grip so you don't cut yourself and stiffening.
2:20 put your orchard on the left side of your back yard, and fill the rest with raised gardens! You could even do a show about gardening! Look at that space!!
Id put about 10-15 of those raised gardens ❤️
Good to see you again it's been awhile
You may want to space the planters more to get your lawnmower through. Also want to dig out the grass around the planters to prevent grass growing up the sides of the planter walls. Keep learning Pippi!
Glad you made another video
I’ve got more in the pipeline and lots of projects planned. So stay tuned, I’m back in the saddle!
Welcome back, you have been missed by all
I’ve missed all of you guys too!
Good job! 👊🏻💥👊🏻
I was going to make the same kind of raised beds. I need to get a new roof so I thought I would use the old tin for some projects to include raised garden beds.
If you’re in Texas beware of the downfalls of bird feeders. I was warned but didn’t listen and put a couple of bird feeders out into the landscape. Sure enough, in no time I had problems with rats, specifically roof rats. Very common in the north Texas area.
Oh wow! Never heard of those! Thanks for the warning.
You could always dig a walking path trench around a garden bed. Put the dirt inside. Then it will be even higher with less bending. ☺️
Pippi! It's so nice to see your face again. Pearl and Chase's too. Ya know when you showed us the beds, I thought with that Texas heat in the summer, those beds will cook. Have you thought of putting white sheets of plastic board of some sort on the outside of them to keep the heat down? I just think you won't have success when summer hits. It's funny how all the RV'ers I have been watching for years are all selling their RV's and getting homes. It can be fun for a while but when life is shaken, there are limits as to what an RV'er can do. Glad to see you getting settled into your new home. Love seeing the puppers out rolling in the yard. They are so happy! You look great as well gurl! More vids please. :0)
Nice to see you again, too Kathy!!
Hey Pippi, I did not know you put out a Video a month ago and I suspect a lot of people didn’t either. I just happened to look and found the Video that explains things. Because this video was in my FB feed today, but not the one from a month ago. Because if you see this one first after not seeing you for six months it doesn’t make a lot of Sense. Luckily I decided to look and of course found the earlier one. Once you watch that one, this one makes sense. I know from FB and some of the comments here, some didn’t see the previous video. Quick comment on the previous Video, it seemed at times it was difficult to do and say, even though you are Happy now. I am curious to what happened to the House you were flipping? I don’t think the House your at is the same one. Still a Fan, Happy you’re Back😇💜😇
I had to stop working on it because I needed to get a immediately paying job
Thanks .You have a good idea.
Pippi I think why others put wood on top is so they hold their shape and so they don't have a cutting edge as they will cut..looking good
I thought you two were building the house to flip? Regardless, I'm glad to see you again.
That’s what I thought..is this the same house?
So good to see some new content always enjoy you content
Pool noodles or pipe insulation will help soften those sharp edges
Yeah...Pippi I am lost also...the channel seems disjointed on the story line...garden at your house..what house? That is not the flip house, right? Perhaps you could have an episode to explain the past year sequence of changes and your plans for 2021? I enjoy your efforts but it is hard to follow....hope you are well and keep them coming. Best wishes.
Hey Pippi you might want to get some rebarb maybe a foot longer that way you can rap a piece of wire across them to keep the sides from pushing out
Welcome back, great video
Looks like plenty of rv parking right in your backyard.
Well done!!!!!
Missed you 😊
you got a house cool.
MAYBE I MISSED IT, BUT WHAT BECAME OF THE HOUSE FLIP????
I went over that in the last video but I’m thinking I may need to do a live video to explain it better.
Miss you love it they look nice 👍
Hi PippinPeterson from a few wow NWesterner. Glad to have spotted ur video. Long time subbed.
Evidently I've missed a few segments. The last show I watched you were working on the house to flip, what videos should I watch to catch me up to you setting up raised beds in the garden? Where is this house located?
Watch the one right before this
And if you have some old PVC pipe cut to put over the rebarb and a 1X1 or a 2X4 with a hole drilled in each end put over the rebarb would look better than the wire BIG SMILE
Great idea!
6:50 you should put grapes, all down that side on the right, where the shade is.
Well look who’s back!? Been wondering what you been up to. Sooooo.......you bought a house?
I did, check out my last video to see those updates
PIPPI!!!!!!!!
Maybe figure out a way to prevent the rebar from sticking out U straps or something to hold it close to panels, I'm just thinking if the dogs run close to the rebar they can hurt themselves on it. I had a guy at work get impaled on a piece of rebar when he slipped on mud climbing stairs they used it to keep temporary stairs from moving around, so i'm hyper focused on rebar now.
I got these plastic toppers for that. But I also like the idea of tiring them together from the too
I have missed you
It's good to see you adjusting to your new phase. I love how that music tears into me. I'm a gut-wrenching blues lover. BTW if you're going to leave grass between them make sure you can fit a lawnmower in there. Did you buy the house you and Todd flipped?
This is a different house
What part of texas did you move too I am thinking about home steading have not decided where yet. Take care.
I think the soil is going to make the metal bow out unless it's supported/braced with wood...no?
So far so good. That video is coming out soon 😉
So happy to see you back delivering wisdom to us all. Consider Pecan tree($). Are you an owner or renter?
Owner. With Pecan trees I’d have to deal with the pecans on the ground. It’s an idea to consider though!
