THANKS FOR WATCHING!
YES. Why I do more gardening in containers. Lot less work: no weeds, easier to reach the plant, control the watering and soil and you can move them to different locations if need be.
Also I mix up the sizes so I can use the space on my city lot more efficiently.
I have a combo. Perennial on the ground. Raised beds, grow bags and pots. Fruit trees are still sticks. Raspberries spread nice. Gooseberries produce like crazy. Don't know why honey berries and blueberries are growing so slow. Started off great. Trying Arctic Kiwi here. Did well elsewhere.
I've noticed that the older I get, the harder it is to do some of the things that I used to take for granted.
I have a friend that bought up galvanized roofing a sheet or two at a time. We all got together last year and drove “T” posts in a line for 50 ft. Three ft. Apart. We left them up to 42 in. tall. Then cut the roofing at 36 in. Filled with large stone to 18 in. and dirt top. He raised his whole garden in it last year and is excited for this year. I forgot to mention that he is on a walker due to bad knees. He and his wife did most of their canning out of it.
Danny if you chop up your lemongrass leaves to mulch your greenhouse pots it will get rid of whiteflies. That’s how I got rid of mine.
Just watching you and Mrs. Wanda is a blessing all within itself. The both of you keeps me gardening because you do not sugar coat anything and I Thank you for that keep sharing the truth we need more people like you.
Good advice Danny , I got 35 years being a cabinet installer, now done with that part of my life, got some cattle love my gardening
But my back is really yelling at me. Even in all this pain cant wait to get in my garden, container’s are going to be a bonus .
🙏🏼🕊️
I've also done manual labor and my back and knees yell at me. I encourage you to get some wild lettuce seed and grow in a pot. Instructions on getting the milky substance from the plant on yt. Nature's pain killer ✌️
Good morning from central Missouri. I love y'all like family ❤. I love visiting so often even if only through a screen. You make me feel loved🥰🥰🥰
I feel the exact same way. We are blessed to ‘visit’ our friends and get vital information or advice about an array of subjects. Danny is one of the most wise person that I’ve ever heard.
Good morning Mr Danny and Mrs Wanda I've been doing alot of growing in containers and im buildings new raised bed and greenhouses just a few things in the ground . I've been very successful with growing carrots in containers they do well and yes its alot easier as we age I'm going to be 63 this year so preparing now as i get older and make it alot easier for me thank you for your videos I so enjoy them God bless
We are in our 60’s plan on downsizing our house. We love to garden want to make sure we can continue as we age
Another learning video this morning. I’m 69 and here in Missouri and anything you can do to help in your senior years is a plus. I have 10 raised beds and love them. Added 4 new ones this year. Love your cows. Pray you all have no more really cold weather. Need a great harvest this year. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
My husband and I were working on bed prep all weekend and we talked about this very thing. It’s more necessary than ever for us to grow more food but gosh it’s rough on the body when you get to be our age. He jokingly said, eating healthy is killing me 😬
Lol I've said that before.
@DeepSouthHomestead you might be bringing in bugs from the bottom of your boots especially with all the animals. ( Darn they fly in windows with screens) Boiling hot water to moisture dirt will kill eggs or you must have plenty of places to bake your dirt /soil to kill eggs if don't want to use your indoor oven .. 350 degrees for 15 minutes .Laying soil in sun imo won't work , not hot enough. They can't lay eggs very deep...body doesn't have the part to go deep. Sand on top may help too. 1/16th Some use mosquitoes dunks mixed with water and swear it works Depends on the skeleton type of bug ...if thick sprays won't work ,thin skeleton it's like cutting them using DE .
I have two greenhouses from Grower's solution, and I love them. I grow peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet corn, popcorn, okra, lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, kale, peas, green beans, strawberries, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, herbs, onions carrots, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, eggplant and broccoli in them. I tried cauliflower but that never worked out too well.
You thought the mint was invasive. Keep a close eye on the blackberries. Once they establish, they run wild! Roots run so deep and spread so fast!
Thanks Mr. King.. Stay Safe Brother..
Good morning. I so needed to see and hear you call your. Babies this morning. I do love it.vmy mama had to go to the hospital and they kept her.v so to wake up to this video is so special in so many ways.vthsnk you two so much.vyallsblovebfor creation is awesome. Thank you so much! Many blessings. ❤❤❤
I'm praying for you this morning.Much love.❤❤❤
You can send me some blackberry diggings when you dig em up 🙂
All those blooms give me spring fever.
I love seeing the cows come in for food.
Blackberries can be merciless LOL Our raspberries do the same thing in ref. to spreading quickly.
Thank you on the pest info. We had some cabbage moths overtake our greenhouse last year, as we were cleaning out hubby's father's estate. so I need to figure out what I can do to clean it out in hopes to deter them for this summer. Basically change up what is in there.
Yes...our youthful hearts require us to create options so that we can enjoy our geriatric years with less stress on our bodies. Enjoy with God's blessings!!!
For us, it's what yields the best. I get plenty of butternut squash, Cherokee tans, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, garlic, celery, oregano, sweet peppers and flowers. LOL I wish I could get my sweet potatoes and white potatoes to yield more. Morels are occasional. I dont do corn because the farm behind mine grows gmo corn and he sprays. Many of my plants suffer from over drift of his poisons. the years he grows soy beans tend to be better years for my garden. I received the sage seeds and I am so happy and ready to start them in trays as well as in the ground. I am mailing a little something to you. Thank you again!
I absolutely love my greenhouse! It has provided so much food for us and friends. So glad y'all we're encouraging high tunnel growing (that is why we did it)!! Raised beds are good for our aging bodies! Love y'all & God Bless!!
Ordered some freedom Blackberries from Gurney. Wish me luck.
Never had luck with regular blackberries in the past.
I pray things go well for you. God bless.
Good morning 😊
Thank you! I'm 54 but I have bad knees because I do a lot of manual labor so this is really helpful
❤ Thank you for sharing your farming experience with us ❤
At age 75 I have started converting to containers. Order a Vega bed through your link thanks for the discount.
There are many high tunnel suppliers. Supporting your local business is supporting your friends and family.
Morning from South Central Ohio Valley. Spring has been in the chilly air even tho the weather is all over the place. That’s Ohio!
The night peepers have been out awhile for a few weeks. The robins arrived early. There are so many this year.
Hopefully it will work out.we nijoy your day
It will work out sir
We do alot of containers, they work great. Plus raised beds and permaculture beds.
Good Day!!! You r like fam …. I soak up everything u say despite I am an old suburbanite I pray God will give me the wisdom when I need it….. it’s crazy daze(lol) so I value all the good things I know I’ve learned from you!
😂😂😂 quess what I found myself calling my bunnies “welfare bunnies”😂😂😂
I’m so glad I know you & love you both! Thanks❤️🔥💁🏻♀️
Thanks Danny and Wanda. As I grow older more and more of my gardening is becoming container and raised bed gardens. Much Love ❤
This is a good one for me 👍
G’mornin Danny and Wanda!
My Uncle once told me if you put a perfectly good vehicle in the field with cows, they would destroy it by rubbing!
Thornless blackberries are relentless. I have them in an area that is 15-20 feet long. Only 3 base vines. But they will grow 15 feet in either direction and pop up in my grape arbors. I pull them up and try to keep them growing to replenish my old canes. As you said the berries are as big as a man's thumb. Yummy.
Anything that spreads and perennial is a plus.
hi mr danny and ms wanda 🤗
except for a few fruit trees, my entire garden is mini/narrow raised beds and containers. it works best for my small backyard and mobility. tfs
Good Mornin DSH Danny and Wanda 🖐🏻. Work smarter not harder for our aging bodies 👍🏻👍🏻. Stay safe. God Bless Y'all. Love and Prayers For All ♥️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love me some blackberry cobbler
Thanks, Danny and Wanda. I have a few raised beds. It helps to not have to bend over so much. There are less weeds. Set up cost is hard on a fixed income, though.
What I did was tip 3 concrete blocks up on end and but large galvanized tubs at 2nd hand stores ( 10.00 bucks each) I put these tubs on blocks. Make sure level. Ohh. I drilled some holes in them for drainage. Put my soil on and plant. Later years I added an arch and branches. Tied them secure and plant peas or black beans. No bending. Less cost.
Good morning Danny and Wanda! I enjoyed the video. I hope y’all have a blessed day!
Good morning
Yes, I am.havi g to try and figure out some things too. I herniated a disk 3 years ago and in-ground is quite the challenge now.
Raised beds are great.
Good morning and thanks for talking about the weather in our area. I planted red potatoes January 15 and they are gorgeous. Mulberry and blackberries are loading up with flowers. I don't believe it's a false spring 🌼 n 9b.
I believe you are fine.
Are you just loving your vego beds? I've hit my 60s and am really thing hard about investing in them. One at a time due to the price.
Stay safe and God bless you my friends 🌱🐖🐄🐓🐐🌱 Lisa
Yes I am we love them.
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉 I subscribed to your channel 🥇
Good morning y'all..Danny them cows was ready to mooove and moowing down.. welfare cows😂😂😂😂 got to love them.. y'all have a great day Mr Danny and Miss Wanda and Miss Wanda thanks for sharing
Morning
Most of my gardening is done in grow bags and are easy to move if needed. Start in the greenhouse and move outside.
Danny that’s all I do is container gardening. So much easier. 👍🙏🙋🏻♀️
I have 7 thornless blackberry bushes that are just so hardy. I had to prune two bushes back because they were out of control. I tried to read up on how to do that, and the only thing I got was February was the time, so I did. I never could understand how to determine old and new growth. I just did my best. We will see.
Cut the trimmings into 18 inch pieces and stick them in a five gal. bucket of dirt.. Then cover them with a clear or white plastic bag so they stay moist. Leave the bucket in the shade for a month and maybe you'll have new plants. Works half the time for me which now I have way too many plants and are giving them to family and friends. Same process works for raspberries and fig trees.💐😊Oh except on figs, you can use up to about 3 ft. branches with light or clear garbage bags.🌺
@@vidajordan9803 Nice! Thank you 😊
Plannin gardens is always so excitin, isn't it? Love y'all . . . .
My Husband made me a raised bed and I love it. I’m starting some of my food garden. And some Container buckets. Thanks for the video
Love y’all’s videos
I'd love to get 4 of the Vego beds but Scott won't let me spend anything of any amount! Just because he can't/won't make a effort to garden doesn't mean i can't! I need to have a tree trimed to garden more than 5 or 6 five gallon buckets! It's just so overgrown. He can't do it anymore but won't let go of any money for me to get it done. I'm in a catch 22 right now to keep the peace! Do those blackberries need full sun? I'd love to plant some along my fenceline. It sucks getting older and the body wearing down. I was always one that just worked through the pain but that's not working anymore! I don't have enough room to plant much but it does supplement our food in the summer and i do enjoy it so much.
They will grow in partial shade.
You two are so smart thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with us. Ordering freedom berries today!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos! And I learn something every time! ❤️😊👍🙏
Morning Beautiful family...
Mr Danny I put a comment under the Macs channel about the lil girl. Colby n Misty are in MS too n they milk Jersey's A2 but if they don't need her might know someone who does jus trying to help ya'll n someone else who might need her. Much love n Blessing's.
Good morning
Morning
I love my Vego raised beds. I add something new each year.
I used to put those apple cookies (Dobbins Delights, I think) in the rubber pans up in the trailer to encourage them to get used to going in and associate tasty treats with it.
I’m so overwhelmed with my blackberry patch, i don’t think I can physically contain it anymore.,,, I have to let it go wild this year. I love the video of the farm!
I love it and not a senior yet!
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed day!!!
Wishing you great success with all your fruit trees. Dump those containers in your garden area. You can amend those areas for free. After a nice rest they should be ready to go next year.
loved this video and you are right about aging which I could. told the kids if they wanted canned goods this year they are going to have to help. old bodies give out
Deer sausage is delicious!
I had white flies from hell in my green house last year. I have lots of dewberries on the back if my property. There full of blooms. Can't wait to can some and make some jelly. I planted okra first time last year. They did real good. God bless! Much love 💖✝️
How do you combat white flies? What worked for you?
Great video God bless
Vego has 30% off on some of their beds and accessories.
Good to see the cows feeding again, it has been awhile.
Good morning 🌄 from Angola Indiana ❤🙏
Good morning
My neighbor feeds calves in the trailer. They walk in every day
Hello Danny and Wanda. I’m asking u to pray for my brother and his wife. Their both in the hospital my brother had his foot amputated because of diabetics and while he was in his wife fell and wound up in the hospital. Then she had a heart attack while in there. They say it doesn’t look good for her. Please pray for them. They have been together all their lives. Their in their 80s. God bless u guys.
We will pray
I love the Vega beds. As a widow senior, i can assemble the Vega beds myself. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏝 🏖
Perfect
@DeepSouthHomestead what is the discount for the vego website?
You don't really need a gate. Just get a 2x4 or similar that will span the chute and you can stick that behind them and even pry them forward if they won't move.
Yes that works if they're stationary panels. Mine aren't and they can shove them sideways and turn around in it.
Good morning Danny and Ms Wanda
Morning
Lesson learned between the blackberries, mint and peppercorns. Maybe no more perennials in the greenhousees.
100 bucks worth seeds today, i ready
Morni'n bro. Danny and sister Wanda😊
Morning
Here in Kentucky things are trying to bud out. We are going to get a freeze and that's not good folks
I might need 5o get a green house for the north
Can you do a video on the cab tractor you recently obtained. I’m interested in what you like about it and what accessories it has. I have two Kubota tractors already but no cab. I like your information on positive and negative views. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Will do
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
A few plants might be nice to try from Vego. Pretty much ready to start seeds and all but one raised bed ready to go. The new one. Waiting on sweet potatoes to sprout. This week starting cabbage then put in the mini greenhouse til it warms more and when ready then plant in large grow bags. I like fabric if we get too much rain and can dry some. Sweet potatoes the same. Raised beds they stayed soggy and lost about 3/4s. All one big experiment. Some things I find aren't worth the space taken when more reliables could use the space. White moths ruin my brassicas even covered and those take too long even if planted early. Moths get in there somehow. Planting more things earlier to avoid bugs if they handle frosts.
👍
Thank you Danny and Wanda!!
As a handicapped person, I can easily grow everything. However, HARVESTING strawberries and potatos is physically difficult. So, to make it easier to harvest strawberries I am switching to very large berries this year. And, I am laying down furrows of wood chips to try to make it easier to harvest the potatos: my goal is to be able to simply pull the potatos up so that I do not have to dig. Many veggies, like green beans, can be grown up poles and that way I do not have to bend over to harvest: instead I mostly sit down to pick. They make folding plastic step stool now that I can sit on and they are as light as a feather. And, yes, I also used raised beds, as they spare my back from leaning over something that is at ground level
Have you tried growing your potatoes in a container (sized for just 1 plant) and then you could just cut the bag away and not have to dig them out just sort of sift through? Not sure if that would work for you - just a thought.
@@firehorsewoman414 I have grown potatos in flower pots and, while it is easier than digging, it is also a LOT of pots to keep watered when the summer is hot. So now I use my pots for things like green onions, and I am experimenting with lightening the soil with wood chips, wood shavings, and leaves run through a shredder. The wood shavings worked VERY well, but only for the year I mixed them in. And so I keep experimenting. Dumping leaves directly on top of the spuds ended up with the racoons getting them. I persevere.
@@kansasterri5977 I hear ya’. Here in Texas I have not had much luck with pots because of the watering. I have seen people grow potatoes in straw bales, but have never tried it myself. It looked easy for harvest time. I just feel like all of the alternative ways we see are always by people who live in perfect climates and have no pest pressure etc.
Our neighbor has sometype if scratching area, been out there for years, i see the cows use it all the time. It is some type of triangle situation.
I need one of those Freedom Blackberries. I might finally be successful at growing berries. 😂
I was listening to the book of Jasher In part 4 at 49 minutes into it the story of Joseph in Egypt how Joseph commanded that the corn in storage be covered with some kind of soil to keep weavals out of it.
Do you think that might have been something like diatomacuous earth?
That or Bay leaves both work.
Looks like you plan on moving to that other place sometime in the future. Seems kind of silly to have your house at one place and all your gardens at another.
Same problem I have in Kentucky whitetail deer take my whole garden past 3 years. Not going to be able to break ground this year no reason to work that hard to see it taken away. Already have more this year than last year just waiting for me to plant. So sad I love the smell of fresh dirt being broke
Morning, if you’re not going to be able to in close the high tunnel at PG to protect the vego beds from deer maybe surround it with those cattle panels? Either right up against it our about 4 - 6 feet out from the walls.
They are easy to remove when you need to and, hopefully, being that close the deer won’t jump them.
Danny has the materials to close in the high tunnel at Pecan Grove, but he’s waiting until he gets done with the interior setup.
Mr Danny and Mrs Wanda thank you so much for today's tips we sure do appreciate it we had an announcement after you announced on your Saturday night live last week or so about Miss Libby getting her trademark well we were talking about that also and we took that as a confirmation to go ahead with our plans. We have started raising Mille Fleur D'uccles chickens and would like to begin selling pullets and fertilized eggs. We have applied for our trademark and have bought two mini pigs for our expanding farm and we are looking into mini cows also. Please keep us in mind we are looking for a milk 🥛 🐮 cow also. We are also working on a website for our new farm. All Glory to the Most High. Continued prayers for Mrs Wanda's complete healing 🙏🥰 p.s. have you given any thought to buying a large dog run to put your sweet potatoes in at pecan grove?
Yeah but the runs are very expensive.
Looking good!!! Love the idea for the banana trees. Seems like I saw someone on youtube at some point using the banana leaves to steam or cook foods on the grill. At least I think it was banana leaves. Anyway, I guess a lot of us out here could have a couple high tunnels if we had those 10K gift cards they are giving all these "undocumented Americans". What a country. Break the law and you are given everything.
Hello I like to visit my next time off to see your site up. That's if it is OK with you guys.
They heard that food and came a running 😀
It's nice everything is starting to bloom and pray no freeze and continues to go forward and give you a good harvest.
Good thinking on the banana trees for chicken's shade and you get bananas. I don't think those welfare cows will mind the
banana leaves lol
Those Freedom blackberries want to keep thriving lol
LOL berries like from Planet of the Apes
I do believe the vego will be good for ongoing growing as time goes on. I think that is definitely wisdom.
Sow right seeds has a lot of great stuff and plan to order when I can from them.
Not sure I can get the vego beds but if the Lord provides I definitely will.
Thanks for sharing. I appreciate your wisdom as you go forth and planning ahead. It helps a lot.
Rich blessings to you both as you go forward.
On one of our videos vego is going to give one away.
Thanks I did enter last week and glad I did@@DeepSouthHomestead Thank you and appreciate all you do and share!
That is not true. My chickens ate my calendar dwarf banana tree last year so then I got another one and they ate that one down to the roots too! Chickens love banana trees don't let them near it I mean they ate it down to the dirt there's not even a stub left anymore.
Im very leary of the early warm spell.
I do all container gardening and. Kw have my first Vego garden bed. Too cold to start here in central Indiana. But looking forward to it. I have the 17 inch high. Any siffiesrio a as to fill with all diet or layer something in bottom to save on the amount of soil? I have a bin of leaves picked up last year. I can’t grind up but a layer of those ? Any one with suggestions appreciate.
BIOCHAR!!!
I heard that 401 can be put into gold
Mosquitos are an issue for me except when it's snowing, so any suggestions on keeping them under control when my greenhouse goes up? I think they will be my real big issue! I will make sure there's no standing water areas for sure. We get 111 inches of rain a year!
Mosquito bits. Available on line, garden centers, hardware stores.
