Our new raised bed is from Vego Garden! They are having a 40% off Labor day sale! Check it out: vegogarden.com
I have the same raised beds. I was asking about how you deal with ants in the garden?
We have had success using diatomaceous earth on the ants in the past!
Yeah I don't have a lot of land
Not even An acre
But I do put a few things here in there out
But it's the girls they're young
The oldest one will be nine November
The baby will turn for in january
The problem is the baby
She doesn't care if that strawberries white
She's just gonna pick it
Nudget tomatoes potatoes some squash
Naturally Grown no pesticides or herbicides
We picked strawberries
Because my oldest Grandchild love strawberries
That's why every time I'd get any
I'm going her room and pick all little green pieces out of her carpet
We did tigger melons this year
Along with Several tomatoes
Including the white snowball
Black beauty mister stripe
Which honestly got a really good mister stripey this year
And I'm not sure what other ones I'm going to get. A few varigated ones
And then I got black watermelon I also want to get american champion
And the pumpkin watermelon
Trying to make sure that my grandchildren know how to use the land to get their own foods
Of course, because who I am? I can't really get anyone to allow me to work. So i'm not really able to get a lot of anything for myself Or my grandkids
But hopefully if I inherit something
I'll be able to use it to buy a form for my grandkids in my daughter
I love the videos they were really cute
So sorry about Punt. ❤️🙏 I had a Manx and they definitely have their own personality.
We loved her so much. For her first 3 years she was pretty reclusive. I used to take pictures when she would share the couch with me, because it was so out of character! But in the last 5 or so years she really had broken out of her shell and was super friendly.
Hi, Heather--I am so, so sorry about Punt. We have had to say goodbye to many pets over the years, and it is never easy. ❤🙏🏻😢 On a brighter note, thank you for sharing your homestead--it has been a joy "getting to know you"!
Awe you bet, I love sharing our life here! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! ♥
😊@@SageandStoneHomestead
I didn’t know pill bugs were bad for the garden. I thought they were helpful in decomposition. This could explain why a cucumber seedling disappeared over night!
Yes! They are great decomposers, problem is they go after live plants too!
So true . I can't direct plant peas, beans or to young of seedlings. Pill bugs will get them !
Willa-Jane ate a BG tomato today and was super happy. When she comments on how good a tomato is you know its a good one!
It's definitely my favorite for a reason!! She's got good taste!!
Wonderful garden tour, thank you for showing end stages of summer and beginning stages of fall gardens. Lots of continued hugs and prayers about Punt. So silly but I burst into tears for you when you turned to wipe your eyes. Not even my pet but most of us have lost a pet so we know how much they mean to us. I know you are trying to be both transparent and sharing with viewers but it has to be tough to balance that with emotions at times. Lots of hugs! 💚
Yes sharing with you guys has been super hard. Recently she had become an expected symbol in the garden and she was anticipated and loved by a lot of you. I videoed a whole blubbering explanation but somehow talking about her last month is the garden is really hard. Talking candidly about what happened is hard but not as hard as talking about how happy she was to be "free" outside. I decided to just leave the tear wiping and the words because it was rough.
@@SageandStoneHomestead What you shared was both tasteful and informative in my perspective. *hugs* She had a wonderful life and was really enjoying her time in the garden, and I think it's amazing she had that time to grow out of her shell. I'm sure you feel she (and your family) was robbed of some time to continue that enjoyment, which is the tough part to overcome. But know deep down she was truly happy and loved.
Lovely harvest Heather 😊.
Thank you! 😊
I'm sorry about your garden kitty! I'm on my second one. He follows me everywhere and naps in the squash hill. My old garden kitty lived for 22 years. She would always lay between the potato rows. Remember the good times, and they'll always be by your side! Take care. ❤️
22 years is a lot closer to what I expected from Punt!! Maybe Remington will get there but she acts a lot older and she seems more frail than Punt was.
You can eat the loofa guard ....the young ones it's really good , tastes more like a mix between Bottle guard and zucchini
VERY interesting! We will have to try it! Thank you!
I"m not sure pill bugs eat plants; pretty sure they are mostly decomposers. Seed starting soil; I buy plain peatmoss and either vermiculite or perlite. I rub them through a 1/4" hardware cloth and use that mix straight in my 2" soil blocks. Then I add sifted compost and / or worm castings to that mix to pot up things that are going into a 4" pot like herbs, tomatoes, peppers, cole crops. That seems to keep nutrition up for them until they go to bigger pots with more of the same mix or into the ground. Lettuce, beets, kale, chard, pak choi all go right into heavily composted soil as soil blocks. This year I have a lot of tomatoes in large tubs and 5 gal buckets. The bottom half of all was a mix of used potting soil and goat bedding compost that was very coarse and not quite finished. As it settled I added more compost, each plant got a couple handfuls of worm castings early on and since then about once a month I've given some organic vegetable fertilizer that was given to me. Those plants have gone crazy, some weeks it takes me an hour or more to tie up and pinch off suckers and LoL I got lazy when it was so hot so now it's a jungle out there.
Unfortunately they will eat seedlings! Quite a few gardeners have had problems with them. I really should sift our soil, that would really help the nutrition problem! Thank you! ♥
What an amazing harvest for the year.
So sorry for your loss 😢😢😢
Thank you ♥♥
Love this Vlog..
I hurt my wrist..so I can not to much ..but I to want to set up 2 beds..1 for Garlic and the other for cabbages ..but I have to wait or delegate..lol😅
I vote delegate!! I hope your wrist feels better soon! ❤️
Oh Heather, I'm so sorry for your loss! Saying goodbye to a beloved family member is hard. Prayers for comfort! Your garden has done amazing this year. Wonderful returns for your hard work! God bless!
Thank You so much!! ♥
I was so happy to see Remmy with you when you walked over to your chaos-planted garden bed. Still so sad about Punt... Glad she was with y'all, though! Curious if you use your birdhouse gourds for anything other than birdhouses? Would any of them perhaps make good candidates for salad bowls or something? I'm thinking we don't have many birds that would use those houses but would it be like Field of Dreams - If you build it (bird house colonies) they will come?
Either the birds will come or wasps will, LOL! That's what someone said who visited my house recently... not the wasp thing but she said they use those gourds for making bowls and bottles! This is our first year with them (we had a lot of firsts this year) and so we might dabble in some of everything!
OOH a yarn bowl would be awesome!
I’m sorry about your garden kitty❣️
Thank you ♥♥
😇🙏your grief will ease with time😔
Yes, it will. Thank you! ♥
I did this same method on my raised garden beds and it worked out wonderfully. I let it set all winter and then I planted in the spring.
This is how we filled the U-shape raised beds in the front garden too! ♥
I'm so sorry to hear about Punt! RIP Beautiful angel kitty! Sending lot's of love and light to you guys! 🙏🏻💞✨
Thank you ! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Order Vermont compost. Wonderful product. I promise.
I'm going to look into it right now, thank you!!!
Hmmm... the pill bugs thing might have been part of my problem this year. I've always had some around, but maybe this year they were more pesty. I'm so excited to start a garden all over again!
One of the solutions for them is the cup trick. I'm wondering if I've been dealing with them more often than I've thought too, and I've blamed mice! We HAVE had mouse and rat issues in the greenhouse though, when snow would blow in we would see tracks to and from destroyed plants!
Cup trick?
Yes! Cut the bottom out of a plastic cup and place it around a seedling to act as a barrier. We secure ours down with garden staples so they don't blow away! I still have some out on the lane. 🤣
@@SageandStoneHomestead Oh yes!!! I forgot about that but didn’t think of it for the pill bugs!!
I'm wondering if that's what has been eating a lot of my seedlings all along!!
Great harvest again. That is so great. I brought some Cherry tomato plants today. I repotted them as soon as I got home. They look better now than they did in the shop. I am putting up my green house later this week. It has 3 tiers shelves. Spring has sprung here in Penrith. The Swifts arrived yesterday. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Wonderful! It's so exciting to have the sure signs of springs arrival! 😍
I'm so sorry about your loss. Hopefully your heart will be better soon. Love you, girl. Oh, guess what I saw at the grocery store? I saw those micro things that you grow and i saw micro broccoli and micro cilantro. There were other micro thingies. ❤❤❤
HOW COOL!! Enjoy!!
One of the fun things about capturing our lives on video is our friends get to live on forever. Punt always looked so happy in the garden. That’s how I’ll remember her.
Me too, thank you!!
I lost a cat 2 years ago, and a dog almost a year ago (both unexpected) and still find it hard to talk about them. It makes me feel better to believe they're together up there with the rest of my pets with my little brother looking after them and rolling his eyes every time a new one comes along. Hugs 😊. Love your garden videos- nice bit of relaxation during lunch break before I've got to get back to work, thanks for doing them x
You're so welcome, we love sharing our life! Thanks for being here! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Heather im so sorry about Punt. She was blessed to have a wonderful family as yours. It's tough, but pets make us smile and laugh and are a gift from God to enjoy. Your tour of the garden was amazing. Will you some day make a video on what you do with the bird house gourds?
Yes as we create things with them we will share! This is our first year with them so we are new to the process!
Thanks for sharing. I love the gourd & loofah archway, I am going to try the okra tip of cutting the leaves. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you so much ❤️🐈⬛❤️
I'm so sorry about the loss of Punt. I really enjoyed seeing how vocal she was with you, like she was giving her opinions on the garden too ❤
Yes she was a very animated cat, she was such a joy to have around. We miss her a lot ❤️
Those dang pill bugs ate my strawberries in one of my beds quicker than I could get to them!
That is cruddy! I'm sorry!
It’s ok heather I lost my cat 10 years ago and I still get reared up when I think about him but I’m sorry for your kitty s loss 🙏 for you all at this time ❤😮😢
Thank you! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Yes, you have to let the loofah dry out on the vine. Once you’re done peal them and get the seeds, I’ve heard that you make a bleach water solution to kill any bacteria that may grow in the sponge
I definitely need to research in the meantime!
So I am going to ask why don't you plant beans like pinto and black beans because there are lots of meals that can be made with those beans and I also plant a navy bean and then I dry all of them and store them in sealed bucket with lids for long term use
We actually haven't been big bean eaters (besides green beans) until this year!! :)
well you're fine filling that bed unit You got to the dirt That dirt is full of grass seed and weeds and I would have put a ton of blood meal and volcano ash compost on it to really help the plant
The whole goal was to fill it with what we have and not spend more money, I'm happy to weed the bed for that :)
😢 I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻 praying for HIS shalom to fill you and your family ❤
Thank you!! ♥♥
heather I am so sorry for your loss you need to take time to heal because I know it hurts so all my love and prays for you and your family for your loss and I pray the good lord will ease your pain so take some time with this we will be here for you
Thank you so much!! ♥♥
I'm sorry to hear about Punt. {{{hugs}}}
I didn't get past seedling stage for the habanadas. That was a disappointment. I've got 2 potato plants going ok. I checked to see if there were any growing underneath and found a few itty-bitty potatoes! The plants haven't flowered yet, though. I didn't think you got potatoes before it flowers.
So this year is the first year I've ever seen potato flowers I don't think they always do flower. We always waited for the plants to completely die back! If you dig them sooner, like when the plants are starting to die you get small ones.
That way a fun tour. Birdhouse gourds really produced. Do you eat some?
We did when they were little! They are like buttery cucumbers but a little more like zucchini in texture.
Heather, I am so sorry about the loss of your fur baby. Sending prayers for you and your family.
Thank you! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
I am sorry about your fur baby. I still cry about all my recent fur baby losses. Punt was a blessed cat. Hugs
Thank you so much! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Yes! I’m glad you’re continuing to do the tours this fall ❤
I hope the garden keeps up with everyone's enthusiasm! Haha
I’m so sorry about Punt😢 you gave him a super home ❤️ love u
Love you too! ❤️❤️🐈⬛❤️❤️
Sorry to hear about Punt 😢.
What do you do about ants in your garden beds?
Diatomaceous earth!! We are considering garden lime too, I just want to test our soil ph first so I don't mess that up!
Plus the seeds that you’re gonna get out of the loofah plants
Yes!! Really excited about this plant!
So sorry about Punt 😢
Thank you ♥♥
I am so sorry to hear about Punt!!! Such a beautiful cat and wonderful pet!🙏 The garden tour was fun as always! Great to see the loofa turning on the production!! I have got to get more of those growing next year. I just love your new garden bed you have added to the greenhouse!! Being able to work a garden bed without bending or squatting would be amazing!! The peppers and melons add such beautiful colors to the garden not to mention the delicious flavors.What do you make with your Okra? Most gardeners seem to pickle the Okra but I'm guessing you freeze dried some as well? Thanks for sharing your day with us and stay safe!!!
I freeze it and this year I've freeze dried it. We love to Sautee it and add it to any manner of dishes, especially ones with rice!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Next year I’m going to plant some and see how we like it!
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about Punt. That's so sad.
Thank you, it was a rough weekend here ♥
@@SageandStoneHomestead sending you Hugs
I like it that both of you works together 💗
Thank you!! Working together makes things go a lot more smoothly! ♥
I love the way you love your pets and even the animals that will be harvested. Good for you to raise them with such compassion! This always reminds me of how much God loves us and all of His creation.🙏❤️. John 3:16 is so meaningful.
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so sorry about Punt, I'm new here watching your past videos for a few past days. Punt has been an absolute cutie and highlight of your videos.
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you got to "meet" her! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Our favorite orange boy Leo was hit on the road this last summer. It still hurts and we miss him. Outdoor kitties can be just as special and loved as indoor kitties.. I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
Hugs, Thank you! ♥
Oh, Heather! I know the pain of losing a cat so suddenly. We moved with our cat to AR. He had a routine and did so well outside. Every night as the sun went down, he would meet us outside to be locked into the shop for the night. One night, the kids couldn't find him. We ate dinner and went back out. We found him in the road. It broke us more than we could ever imagine an animal could. We still cry when we reminisce about him. Again, I am sorry and feel your pain.
My fall garden never germinated. I agree there is too much wrong with store bought soils. I think I put contaminated soil in my gardens. All I can do at this point is prep the beds for spring. Our main garden is going to be taken apart and give to sheep as a pasture.
I've seen people remediate soil with planting wheat and sunflowers, depending on the contaminat. I'm so sorry that may have happened. I still haven't planted my fall starts trying to figure out what to do. I may take soil from the raised bed garden to start the greenhouse seedlings. Direct sow doesn't work well the way the soil is in the greenhouse right now, it's very much clay still.
I am so sorry about Punt. My heart grieves for you ❤. She was such a sweet kitty and I looked forward to seeing her. I am sure the loss your family is feeling is overwelming
Thank you so much! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Nice comment on Punt. We’ve all lost a precious fur baby and yours will live on in your heart and on the farm in the life of the elderberry tree. ❤
Thank you ❤️🐈⬛❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss friend. Glad you got to share those special moments with Punt in the garden and even letting us witness such a sweet kitty. ❤
She will be very missed! Thank you ❤️
Your arch trellis is truly glorious, I don’t think I’ve seen one that’s so lush. A true inspiration.
Awe thanks! It happened to work out that once the birdhouse Gourd died back, the luffa was there to take over! 🤩
So sorry about your loss. I had to sell my baby kittens. I had 4 but they all came in pairs to their new home. I should be happy, but i miss them so much.
That's so hard! Hugs to you, I'm so happy they were able to go in pairs!
I’m so sorry for your loss Heather 💐 However, your birdhouse gourds are SO cool!
Thank you so much ! ❤️❤️
I am so sorry for the loss of your kitty. I am sure it is difficult for all of your family. ❤
It is, thank you! ❤️🐈⬛❤️
Great video😍 and I’m new to your channel. I am wondering do you ever sell your rabbit manure? If you have extra I would like to purchase it from you❤
We never have! Are you local to the southwestern KY / Fort Campbell area?
@@SageandStoneHomestead I am not local to your area but love to purchase some and don’t mind paying for postage🤗. Typically dry rabbit manure don’t weight that much so if your interested selling let me know.
I am very sorry for the loss of punt it made my heart drop. I do know how it feels to loose a pet in such a way. I've lost a couple of my hens due to living close to the road. I've had to chase them with a broom many times to help them learn to not go up front even though we have a fence some of them still can squeeze through. What bothers me as well is that no one ever stops, i would have atleast enough decency to own up even though it would have been an accident. Or in one of my hens case some guy just thought it was funny seeing a chicken cross the road chasing a bug and sped up😠 even though we live on a back road people get in the straight stretch in front of our house and put the peddle to the metal as they say. Enough about that.. on a positive note today is another cheese making day, also tomato seed saving from a new tomato my husband got me called kumato and is brown, which is a nice break cause we just put up our hayfield full of squarebales, right now its just the farmers type cause i don't have any vegetable rennet but i hope to be able to place an order soon. I want to try to make cream cheese. I have your dairy playlist saved and hope to make the cheesecake to. Ophelia was so full this morning she was dripping, i looked at the twins and asked them what they had been doing cause obviously they hadn't been helping relieve mama. I so enjoy being nestled up to her side and hearing the milk hit the pail. And i am pretty sure that my husband is gonna let me get schwanli and pepper so i will get to enjoy it even more! Our anniversary is in October so i think thats helping some😉❤🐐🥛
I meant to send you a photo of pepper earlier too!! She is in a video I'm putting up tomorrow so you can show him that maybe? It's dark now to run down to the barn.
The person who hit Punt texted Levi, it was a neighbor. It was night time and she is black, and she darted into the road. I feed bad for him too because surely he didn't mean to hit her. ❤️
@@SageandStoneHomestead i didn't mean to seem disrespectful if i did, i am glad they said something instead of ignoring. I just rescued a pair of bourbon red turkeys, the owners told me that they was gonna put them down cause they kept getting on their porch and pottying. Hopefully they adjust well. They seem gentle and love cherry tomatoes. Yes the video will be just fine no worries ❤🐐
Amazing video of harvest tour
Thank you!
Hi Heather! I have a question regarding the rabbit manure. When part of the manure turns white and kind of powdery do you think that is mold? I saw some in yours and I have some in mine. Just wondering if you knew or if anyone else did. 🤍
This is actually a GOOD type of fungi that really helps the nutrition transfer from the soil to the plants! Let me look up the name of it real quick and you can read up on it! Super interesting!
www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/manures/fungus-growing-on-manure.htm
It says on there " They look like fungi but are actually a bacteria"! I hadn't retained that from the last time I read this article!
@@SageandStoneHomestead thank you girlfriend! I knew you’d know 🤍
You betcha!! ♥
