    A really good pest tip: Get yourself the cheapest beer you can find and fill a bunch of little paper cups half full, then burry them half way in the dirt near your plants. Space them about 4 to 5ft apart and the bugs love it so much that they go for the beer before the plants and drown themselves. I learned this from my 3rd grade teacher who is a huge gardener. I've done this and passed the knowledge to my mother in law and it works every time. She was able to get a good plant harvest that season. Even the slugs go for it.

    @luckyrobinshomestead 6 месяцев назад +69

    You will have less problems with pests in your raspberries if you dig up half to 2/3 of them and make 1 to 2 more rows planting the plants further apart. If you have the room. Otherwise, thin them out and sell the thinnings. With space you'll see an increase in production and less worminess. Don't do it until spring, when frost has passed. Raspberries and thornless blackberries should be planted 4 to 6 feet apart, depending on the variety. 6 is better if you have the space. They will fill in. As for squash, if you put down ag fabric, the good kind, not weed barrier, and cut holes in it and plant your squash in the holes, the leaves will not be touching soil ever. Makes a huge difference. For the tomatoes, once they get big enough, cut off the bottom branches for the first foot to avoid water splash up and you won't get as many issues. Also, trim out suckers so that their is air flow and you will have a healthier plant all around. If you want to grow actual zucchini, there is a kind called Escalator zucchini that is a climbing zucchini. It keeps the plants off the ground. I've had it climb as high as seven feet in a good year, but usually it is around five. I haven't had any problems with disease with those ones and it is very tasty, too.

    If you open that trellis up so it’s one huge square or rectangle, then place it down the middle of the bed. The cucumbers will grow up it on either side of it. My cucumbers get to be 8-10’ high. Much easier to see and pick the cucumbers too. You’re going to have a hard time seeing them inside the trellis and also getting to them once they’re huge.

    For carrot seed planting you could make a "gravy" with corn starch and water. When rhw gravy is still warm but not hot mix your seeds into it and put it in a plastic bag with a tiny corner cut off or reusable cake decorating bag with the tiny hole tip and make a striped in each row. It spreads the seeds out more evenly and you waste less seeds.

    This is the best video I have seen till now. So simple and clear explanations. Perhaps I have a tip or 2 for small white worms in raspberries: We always put the berries in salt hand warm water after picking them. The worms will sink to the bottom and you can easily remove the berries from the water without the worms. Another tip for strawberries: if you seem to be allergic to strawberries: just wash them off in HOT water followed by COLD water. In that way the small hairs on the outside of the strawberries will fall of....the hair is what people are reacting allergic to, NOT the berry itself. Everybody can eat strawberries for they are kisses of the son : ) Namaste

    Have you thought about trying to trellis your tomatoes, (snip leaves about 6" up from the ground all so the wet leaves won't cause mildew) squash, zucchini, and smaller melons? keeping them off the ground helps with rust or fungus. Planting marigolds, keep slugs, etc. off the base of plants, and flowers that invite the good insects into the garden. Also planting herbs in rows between vegetables helps with beetles, bugs that want to crawl up the stalks to lay eggs.

    Started watching you guys a couple months ago. Really impressed with how you guys film and the content you offer. We just moved to our homestead in Michigan last month (from Cleveland, OH). Moved right at the peak of spring/summer sowing so all brassicas will need to go in the ground next month for fall harvest. We haven't posted any videos lately because the craziness of moving but you guys are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey.

    Loved the garden tour, thank you so much for sharing. Love how organized and abundant it is! Right now we have raspberries, a persimmon tree, and I grow most herbs and some veggies and fruits, but the bulk of my tiny garden is flowers. This is inspiring me to aim towards more food!

  • @homesteadgamer1257
    @homesteadgamer1257 3 месяца назад +1

    I also have a huge tip for anyone who has trouble growing a garden in general. No matter where you live, you can start a compost bin. First add soil (and you get this FREE from the ground outside), then add a layer of food scraps (INCLUDING meat scraps like bones), then add another layer of soil, repeat until you have a bin full (like the storage bins you get from Walmart or whatever), then throw some seeds in. You can add a couple worms to the bin that you dig up or rescue from puddles during rain if you want, they'll only help the soil. You'll likely only have room for one of each kind of food per bin, otherwise you can do a mass compost bed (like a giant raised food bed). Just water it every day (or less if you live in humid climates), and nature will do the rest and give you beautiful fruits and veggies. 💖🌾🪴🌻💖

    @onlyintime9914 10 месяцев назад +6

    Yes ... Danver (Denver?) Half long carrots are good for storage because they don't break off when you pick them because they are short and fat. Stonehead cabbage is a good variety because it's leaves are tighter together and you get less pest problems.

    i would suggest winter sowing in jugs outside for the broccoli and cabbage plants. i started mine back in febuary and im zone 6A/ PA and they actually did the best out of everything i winter sowed. i think because they love cold weather but because of the jugs being mini greenhouse keep them just warm enough it really helps them have a good start in my opinion.

    • @lornabaker4039
      @lornabaker4039 6 месяцев назад

      Same here! Winter sowing for brassicas and onions has been especially helpful for me. The best onions I’ve ever grown were started from seed by winter sowing in Jan/Feb (zone 6). I never get good fat bulbs when I use purchased onion sets.

    @purrmaculture 10 месяцев назад +3

    I really enjoy watching your vids! I love that you are so upfront about things how you do things and what you plant and/or don't plant anymore due to sensitivity to weather or the plant just being a general pain to plant cos they easily succumb to disease etc like heirloom tomatoes and zucchinis! Makes me feel slightly better despite failing at certain vegetables. I think part of gardening is accepting what works and what doesn't despite what we see in other people's gardens (which look so easy sometimes). Thanks for sharing your garden and tips!

    • @morethanfarmers
      @morethanfarmers  10 месяцев назад +1

      Amen...I couldn't have said it better. We used to stick to ideals to the point of completely failing. We wanted to grow only heirlooms and raise only heritage breed animals. Now we just accept that some things aren't suited to our climate or aren't worthwhile for us in the season that we are in with our family. There are 100% things that we can't successfully grow and raise on our farm in Ohio. There is no shame in that😊
