We had rhubarb growing up as kids. I don't have any now but I'm going to get some oh yes I am after watching my Alaska friends I'm getting me some rhubarb
It’s really nice to hear Eric doing a voice over in the beginning of today’s video. As always, your photography/videograghy is AMAZING! I love when you upload.
After watching All the terrible things that are going on in the world It gives me so much happiness to come and watch your videos. It gives me 1⁄2 an hour where I can just enjoy What is good in this world God bless you both
Hope all goes for a check up for cancer screenings early when the signes show it is to late... The garden is gong great I expanded into the front yard and have people whom are fans doing work in their front and back yards to get healthier and exercise in their gardens. Yes we both did in our teens the soul saving through church but we follow nature and medicines so if it wants to take back life it will or give life it will. Love watching these two people hope you all do too.
I hope and pray your dear Husband has accepted the lord Jesus as his king and lord and he will go into the next life with his Heavenly Father forevermore
You two are great caretakers. Of each other, animals, property, gardens, food prep etc. It’s such a privilege to share in your life. Love the Azure haul. Take care.🎉
I'm totally at your side to appreciate Ariel and Eric. I will just add that these videos are most beautiful and better than National Geographic, for me, when we saw the Caribou hunting. So much time to hunt and finally have a great end. 😊😇 (Sorry for my english, I'm from Belgium and not bad in english but not really bilingual 🤔)
Arielle, put the ginger root in a deeper bucket like you would a sweet potato. It will multiply roots amazingly. And it is FINE to cut back the green stem part.
Tip for the wellness check on the chickens. Put some blue tape (tuck tape works well) over the light. Chickens can't see the blue light the same, so they stay very calm, but it doesn't dim the light too much so you can still see what you need to see.
I love watching seeds sprout. There's just something exciting about seeing them pop thru the ground. Looks like you'll have a nice garden this summer and I know all us viewers will enjoy your gardening videos. Getting the manure frozen is probably the best way to handle it, rather than when it's soft and "fragrant". Those buns you baked looked so good. I could almost smell them. Always enjoy the cooking portion. Your videos are the best! See you on the next one!
There's just something so delightful about seed starting in the spring! The smell of the dirt! The cheerfulness of the extra light! And seeing the green things starting to peek out! Happy times! 🙂💚🙂💚🙂💚🙂💚🙂💚🙂
Beautiful shots of the sun and land. Brings hope for spring. Great watching your spring preparations! You can still hear the snow crunch beneath your feet. Those chickens are great cluckers. Bathrooms are the best!! I think you need an addition!!
At one point my grandparents had an aviary with over 400 birds and they bought their seeds in bulk as well. They used a concrete mixing drum to combine their seeds. Was amazingly efficient and easy to do!
Ginger growing tips: best done in a shallow container, well draining mix and use a tomato cage to keep the crazy huge canes under control. Cutting off the whole canes retards the plant's ability to make and store the energy, ie less ginger production. Much love from the Midwest US 💖
@@jeangraze8031 ABSOLUTELY! Thank you for adding that here. As an extra tid bit, it's best to put the cut side near the side, so it grows forward in the fan shape and has plenty of room to spread.
Iris grow from rhizomes, they grow best barely under the soil. Too deep and the rhizomes become soggy. So, the tips given here make sense. Shallow soil, and limited water.
If you can find plastic sleds the same width as your bed you can use those as drawers underneath your bed. I use this under a bed at home and after putting you items in sleds or bins you can slide everything out from under the bed for access to still use all the storage under your bed.
The icicles in the outside chicken coop are so beautiful,,almost like feathers , Ariel your cinematography is really wonderful, l really hope one day you will make a calendar or book for us to buy love from northern U.K. 🙏😘
I agree 💯 and I may have missed a video or two during the initial days and weeks of the channel but with this being probably most favorite RUclips channel I try never missing anything presented by this wonderful 👍 wonderful team and I see them as a true blessing in my life.
WOW! I was not expecting this! I thought we'd be watching you process your Caribou. Loved watching all the spring prep. Back when I could have a garden, I loved this time of year, all the planning, all the seed catalogs. Parks, Burpees, and one of my favorites, Vermont bean seed! So much fun! Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane. I'm checking out Azure foods as well, ❤ to all. Lori from Oregon. Give Bandit an extra hug for me.
I actually found yalls channel through garden content years ago. I just stayed after that. I've learned so many things. You guys truly are AWESOME! 💛🐥🐝🌻
This is what I love to see people doing, starting there own seedlings for their garden. Very nice. If it hasn't yet been mentioned, and if yer not doing this, I would recommend getting some smallish low speed fans to blow on yer seedlings after they've grown a few inches. This will help with elongation and help to eliminate stretching. It provides cool air to slow down the plants up- growth and fattens the main stems called the apical dominant stem. You guys are awesome. Please 🐝 safe in all that you do. Happy seedling growing
So happy to see you put out a video today. Love the voice over Eric. You got healthy looking chickens. Thank you for sharing. We are so lucky that you take us along and allow us to follow your life. Take care✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️
I love so many things about this video. Eric's narration at the beginning was wonderful! I hope you two continue to incorporate that style here and there. The garden!!! Yay!!! Im sooo stoked, and can't wait to see it on your new propery! As always, your meals make me hungry, lol. Those sloppy joes looked incredible! Love from Oregon❤
You are my absolute favorite RUclips channel. Your videos calm me at the end of a rough day. I adore your relationship with one another. Your photography is STUNNING! Simply the best!
Having an appreciation for things like hot water, or indoor plumbing is something that most Americans have lost an appreciation for. I appreciate you guys for mentioning it.
Your rhubarb comment made me smile, I can hear my mother saying “here, have mine” she had it so much as a child at boarding school that she can’t stomach it now. I love it with apple in a crumble. I probably wouldn’t have snipped that ginger leaf off right down there, but perhaps half way. Only because the leaves will still on half a stem would still be photosynthesising and making food for the plant and you can keep it trimmed up. Whereas you now only have the one stem to make food and the development of little rhizomes will be slower now. Am looking forward to seeing your garden develop, the one at your old place was amazing.
Love Eric’s voice over. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. I get so excited when I’m notified of a new video. You both amaze me of how you take care of your land and chickens. Also love the cooking videos. You guys rock it out of the park. Love it.
We love your channel! How you care for your animals, respect the land and teach us as you go along! Love to watch the cooking, see how your inventions work! We just love your entire content! Thank you for sharing.
The lead in music and visuals were absolutely phenomenal. Kudos to who puts that together. The seed propagation is really awesome. The dinner looked fabulous too.
I really get the pleasure of getting the mostly dried or pantry goods in from a whole foods retailer - the pleasure and excitement and packing it up in proper containers. it's such a lovely sense of home.
I just want to say thank you for the beautiful pictures of the snow and the sun sets are rises pictures they're really beautiful!! It's nice to see people who keep their chicken coop nice and clean and care about their chickens go to the both of you great job!!😊 And ask for the space where you live in I like that either way it was really nice!! Working together makes it a lot easier!! You two are a great team that's why I enjoy watching your videos!!❤❤
Eric doing narration for the video was amazing!! We never know what to get with you guys. I love it!! Edit: Aww, Bo's sleeping area 🤗 He will never be forgotten. He was a HUGE part of the videos for us dog lovers ❤
I rarely comment here, the channel has grown so much that I'm insignificant, but by chance yous read this I will say. The start of your videos has always being really nice, especially winter my fav I love it. In addition with the drone footage it always sets the tone/mood for a beautiful video. But this voice-over beginning with the work yous have done, noice👍
We read all the comments, thank you for your kind words. I thought Eric did a really nice job 🙂 I think our love for Alaska and our lifestyle has only grown over the years but we do strive to be creative. Also we really don't say thank you enough to the folks who follow and make the channel what it is ❤
Would you consider adding a bedroom extension? It wouldn’t have to be huge - bed, clothing and a little bit of miscellaneous storage? Maybe just a ‘some day’ project as you have so many other things on the go. 😍🇨🇦
I always find your videos so refreshingly authentic. No unnecessary contrived chatter... No airs graces etc. Just plain what you see is what you get and that makes it different and worth coming back for a look. South Africa 🇿🇦
Ive been lying in bed watching this thru headphones. And I must say Eric talking at the start of the video is so nice. Hes pretty good at this as a narrator.
OK. let's just stop here at 1 minute 9 secs. because I have to say while I know very little about photography/videography I have to say your video's are stunning. You take time for beautiful shots. On top of your talent, creativity, and your eye..... do you have some out of this world equipment or are you just so skilled you know how to make it look so so in focus and perfect? And then your skill/talent at picking music really puts me over the top. I love it. And I do always, well not the actual up to your arms in blood, ( though I admire your tenacity and care to use everything you can) I love what you share and if I knew you in person I know I would love you 2 to pieces. Nuff said. Carry on.
we lived in our place for 12 years with no hot water..I don't care what it costs or ever costs, I will not live without it again..lol it's a staple of life as far as I am conscerned
Can't believe it's been over a year since we've had some gardening content. I'm so excited for it. Going to be an epic season! Everyone start seeds with me.
Arielle, you do a great job on your videos it's all about the way you present your self you talk clearly, knowledgeable, and with a smile from time to time. Eric does a good job too.
It’s so beautiful to sit back and watch positivity instead of all the bad news fare from the TV networks. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to watching what projects will come with spring. ❤❤
It's awesome to hear that you used to live in Forest Grove at the college they have the best antique hot rod car show in the summer I enter my car every year❤❤❤
I would add a mud room as far as your roof sticks out and during the winter could put generators inside and vent them properly so fuel lines dont freeze and hang work clothes and windows for starting plants or a skylite. maybe a small tent type wood stove or a vented propane stove.
Hey guys, maybe you could look into a slide out rack system for under your bed. You could easily access more of your storage items underneath your bed. You could just pull the rack out to reach things underneath..I'm sure you could come up with a system that would make your life easier and give you access to more of your storage. Good luck! Good luck also with your new garden high tower. Looking forward to seee the results of your labor. As usual, you guys are doing a great job!
Beautiful Family!! Nave , great Joy😂. When my 2 boys were 7n 5 big one thought He was boss of Little one. Flash to 11 n 9, big one pushing little 1 around,... Came running into the house, bloody Nose! Said DAD, dad keep 1 away!! He just beat the Snot out of Me!! No problems since.😂😂
Your bread always comes out so beautiful! Thank you for your videos. Always positive attitudes even when there's a struggle. I learn from you all the time.
If you have to do a bunch of loads with the dump use your generator and a battery charger in back of the truck, put it on boost when you go do dump, will help get it off the frame. Lots of people burn out their electric pumps by running them really low.
I see my favorite couple are getting ready for Spring. Still cold, but as this month and the coming months, they will be busy as Bee's. May there Spring be good with weather and all there time will get the job they want done will be seen through. May they have a Blessed Spring.😊❤👍👍🙏🙏 Keeping you in my prayers.
I remember as a kid my aunt and uncle lived in Teslin Lake Yukon they had such amazing gardens because of the long days. Knowing you are starting seeds makes me think I'm behind the growing curve. Back to my aunt and uncle, they fished a lot, and all the fish guts went in the garden. I couldn't believe how big the cabbage got. Loved the video !
Those buns do look good. My wife is cooking chicken wings in the oven and they're the best chicken of any kind I've ever eaten. The recipe came off RUclips.
I overwinter our Rosemary every year inside. Just a good sized pot because the plants can get seriously big. Also loves more water than you would think. A clay pot with a drip tray seems to work great for us. Our particular Rosemary plant is over 5 years old at this point.
I got a 6-pack of those lights off that jungle website for $99 free shipping. I'm using the same rack as you are, but I only use 4 shelves. The bottom one is full of 5 gallon pails with a San Marzano tomato plant in each, the first set of lights (2 of the Amazon lights with a single tube LED light between) are attached to the bottom of the shelf above it with a ratcheting pully system. That shelf has 6 window boxes of herbs. Chives, Scalions, Thyme, Basil, Parsley, and Oregano. Same light setup on that shelf. The next shelf up has 24 doubled up 500ml (2 cup) deli containers with a mixture of San Marzano and Roma tomatoes. Same light setup on that shelf. I'm in zone 3b, about 120 miles north of the Saskatchewan Canada / Montana USA border. You might say the city I live in is the belly button of North America. Next year I hope to put up a 10x10 foot greenhouse so I can grow more herbs and start a few veggies and maybe even strawberries. Those buns looked fabulous! My buns rarely turn out that big nd fluffy.
For the bed, you could use a system I’ve seen in tiny houses / RVs where the bed is raised and lowered using a chain and pulley system (some use a modified garage door opener to move it), which would give you full access to the floor beneath the bed during the day.
TWO THINGS: 1. I always assumed Eric was an electrician... LOL...LOL. 2. You two make some good looking dishes, always get a little hungry when ya cook. Thanks for another inspiring episode. God bless and stay free🇺🇸🦅🤘🏻
In Europe they add a seed room or what I suppose would be a kind of greenhouse structure on the side of the house, and it heats for free and if you leave a gap rather than a door it helps to heat the house.
Thank you for another delightful video. I feel blessed that you share your lives with us. Wondering what you are going to do with the quonset hut. Have you considered putting in a plant growing room near one of the rear corners? Each currently unfinished building ends could be finished with (1) walk thru doors, (2) garage doors for vehicles, and (3) lots of windows. One corner for gardening, seed planting room. One corner for storage room. One corner for a guest bedroom. Fourth corner for an extra kitchen or something else you need. All in consideration that you will have heat, power, and water in the Hut. Best wishes for 2024 and the future! Very excited about your new garden!!!
Your mastery of the art of the intro and the photography in your videos is simply breathtaking. You have blended scenic nature with intriguing background music that is really satisfying. Your videos are mystical and they make me feel like my soul is at peace when I watch them. I would play them on a loop as my screen saver everyday if I could.
Arielle, looking at you stating seedlings reminds me doing it myself which saved me from exasperation during the pandemic. It was enriching and fun and even though I mostly did flowers and few vegetables, it was very rewarding. Love watching your enthusiasm. Please stay as I have seen you for all these years, love you and miss your dear baby-doggy. I came to love him also… Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. ❤
You could do some big shallow wooden boxes and put them on casters and put them under your bed to store everything in..they pull out really easily. You could make a small extension on the back wall of your cabin...use the window and make it into a door...you could make a small bedroom and it would be heated from the stove. You could use logs if you wanted in keeping but it might be easier to put insulated conventional walls and a sloping roof....a bit like your chicken coop.
Ariel, might I say that you are looking happy and content. Your pumpkin/ autumn colors look good on you. Best videos on gardening. Cant wait till harvest!!! Eric, you amaze me with all of your ideas and accomplishments!! Kiss the kids for me!!
Have you thought about putting a top on your bed and storing stuff on top of there? Or putting a rack system overhead where you can hang containers by the edge/handles?
Big Lake here... We have a small cabin, too. We hang our winter clothes... snow pants, hoodies, jackets, along the top of our bed frame. They dry out faster, and it also blocks out some of the early morning sunshine. Nothing like putting on warm winter gear before you go outside into the elements. Love your content 🫶
“At this point in my life, i don’t have enough rhubarb.”
Ariel you made me smile with that one. Quote of the video :)
Ditto! I laughed out loud!
We had rhubarb growing up as kids. I don't have any now but I'm going to get some oh yes I am after watching my Alaska friends I'm getting me some rhubarb
Ariel doesn’t get enough credit for her bread making abilities. The moose meat on those fluffy buns looked so good!
She makes the best buns/bread ❤
And she makes it all look so easy. She’s an absolute natural at it all and that’s why, I think, she doesn’t get the credit!
She is a baking genie!!
It’s really nice to hear Eric doing a voice over in the beginning of today’s video. As always, your photography/videograghy is AMAZING! I love when you upload.
I really liked the voiceover too!
Third that point!
Professional video quality. Thank you very much Eric!
Me four
I agree with that.
First time I hear Eric with a voice over as a narrator. And he sounds so good slowing down just a bit his rate of speech. Good job, Eric.
I actually really liked Eric’s voiceover at the beginning. Set a whole mood. Very relaxing.
After watching All the terrible things that are going on in the world It gives me so much happiness to come and watch your videos. It gives me 1⁄2 an hour where I can just enjoy What is good in this world God bless you both
That's why I watch no TV or news. I truthfully have no idea what's going on in the world. Knowing just makes me worry & stressed.
Hope all goes for a check up for cancer screenings early when the signes show it is to late... The garden is gong great I expanded into the front yard and have people whom are fans doing work in their front and back yards to get healthier and exercise in their gardens. Yes we both did in our teens the soul saving through church but we follow nature and medicines so if it wants to take back life it will or give life it will. Love watching these two people hope you all do too.
Prayers for your hubby and your family
I hope and pray your dear Husband has accepted the lord Jesus as his king and lord and he will go into the next life with his Heavenly Father forevermore
Amen@@MarleneSpinella-ye8ym
Wow, that really stinks. I am sorry you two have to go through this
Many people who got the💉now have cancer! So sad!
You two are great caretakers. Of each other, animals, property, gardens, food prep etc. It’s such a privilege to share in your life. Love the Azure haul. Take care.🎉
You are 💯 right!!😊😊😊
I'm totally at your side to appreciate Ariel and Eric. I will just add that these videos are most beautiful and better than National Geographic, for me, when we saw the Caribou hunting. So much time to hunt and finally have a great end. 😊😇 (Sorry for my english, I'm from Belgium and not bad in english but not really bilingual 🤔)
Her bread is undeniably the best homemade bread I’ve ever seen.
I was thinking the same! Would love the recipe.
@@islandgrl7346a long with her pastry,piecrusts!!
I totally agree ❤
I agree too!! Ariel, would you share the recipe with is please?
Arielle, put the ginger root in a deeper bucket like you would a sweet potato. It will multiply roots amazingly. And it is FINE to cut back the green stem part.
I think she should also put it it a wider bucket thingie cause mine spread a lot. But I’m in zone 8b so there’s that lol
If you haven't already thought of it you might consider framing in your porch to make more room
I’ve often wondered why they haven’t done this already - could also be a space for outdoor wear and boots.
I was going to suggest making it a mudroom type space too!
You should flip the bed over and have a loft bed with desk underneath 😊
Hey guys! Hope all is well and everyone is coping with the loss of the pup ❤️ it's so hard..
Tip for the wellness check on the chickens. Put some blue tape (tuck tape works well) over the light. Chickens can't see the blue light the same, so they stay very calm, but it doesn't dim the light too much so you can still see what you need to see.
What r they looking for
Maybe put some sheets of wood over top the bed frame to make additional storage. Love to see spring coming and what will be your❤❤😊 garden.
Or build storage unit and move mattress above that. Can use small ladder to get up to mattress
What about putting stuff on wheels to make it easier to move in and out under the bed. And around the room, for that matter!?
Could just make lumber with that sawmill. I’m sure they will do something to that effect.
You could put hooks and things on your ceiling in the house to hang things.
Yes, I was wondering about lowering the height of the bed frame and creatin storage above
You could use rolling boxes under the bed. Use your hooked rods to pull out the boxes far underneath, or tie ropes to each.
That’s what I thought ❤
Agree!!!
Or use some boards on coasters,then you can reach everything and pull out easily
I love watching seeds sprout. There's just something exciting about seeing them pop thru the ground.

Shallow and wide, I think. The rhizomes spread sideways?
Yes, a wider shallow pot.
@@jeangraze8031 ABSOLUTELY! Thank you for adding that here. As an extra tid bit, it's best to put the cut side near the side, so it grows forward in the fan shape and has plenty of room to spread.
Iris grow from rhizomes, they grow best barely under the soil. Too deep and the rhizomes become soggy. So, the tips given here make sense. Shallow soil, and limited water.
I'm sure I cause confusion, I know you are growing Ginger, not Iris, I am comparing what I am familiar with.
If you can find plastic sleds the same width as your bed you can use those as drawers underneath your bed. I use this under a bed at home and after putting you items in sleds or bins you can slide everything out from under the bed for access to still use all the storage under your bed.
Just finished supper and wondered what I would do with the evening. How exciting to see a new video. Thank you for including us in your life.
Hey cool to hear Eric do a voice over. Ariel is such a bubbly engaging narrator but I enjoyed Erics calm intro too. Im excited for gardening updates!
The icicles in the outside chicken coop are so beautiful,,almost like feathers , Ariel your cinematography is really wonderful, l really hope one day you will make a calendar or book for us to buy love from northern U.K. 🙏😘
They do have a calendar!
Now having binge watched ALL of y'alls videos, I get so happy when a new one is posted. I live vicariously through these.
I have watched them for years I have never miss a video 😂 Welcome
Same, living vicariously through these two.

An idea for more space: if you raise your bed up like a big bunk bed you can use the under-bed area like a closet and have great access!
This is what I love to see people doing, starting there own seedlings for their garden. Very nice.

Having an appreciation for things like hot water, or indoor plumbing is something that most Americans have lost an appreciation for. I appreciate you guys for mentioning it.
Can't wait for the new garden..you guys are brilliant gardeners. Would you ever consider expanding the cabin..either out or up?

It was sad not to see Bo laying on his bed.🥺 I didn’t realize Azure distributed to Alaska! Hope you both are doing well!
Haven't watched for awhile, has Bo passed away?
@@SandraRix86 Sadly, yes, just 3 weeks ago. The video for that announcement is titled "All Dogs Go to Heaven | Our Beloved Dog Bo" 💔
Yall need to add an arctic entry to your home! Keep all the bulky winter stuff out there and shield the main cabin from the main entryway!
The lead in music and visuals were absolutely phenomenal. Kudos to who puts that together. The seed propagation is really awesome. The dinner looked fabulous too.
I really get the pleasure of getting the mostly dried or pantry goods in from a whole foods retailer - the pleasure and excitement and packing it up in proper containers. it's such a lovely sense of home.
I am happy you still appreciate your indoor bathroom!

Did the bees make it?
Ive been lying in bed watching this thru headphones. And I must say Eric talking at the start of the video is so nice. Hes pretty good at this as a narrator.
Someone is so excited about the garden that she is grinning from ear to ear about manure and bags of soil and is visibly giddy! Love it!
I love the way you care for your animals. My condolences to your loss of sweet doggie. What a wonderful life you gave him, and all your animals…♥️💕♥️

Nuff said. Carry on.
I went back, just to see the picture you reference. It is gorgeous. Sunset, I guess? Lovely shots from their drone.
No one can complain about your baking skills!
we lived in our place for 12 years with no hot water..I don't care what it costs or ever costs, I will not live without it again..lol it's a staple of life as far as I am conscerned
Can't believe it's been over a year since we've had some gardening content. I'm so excited for it. Going to be an epic season! Everyone start seeds with me.
You guys should be a role model for the new generation . I live in southern Ontario and I didnt start my garden yet , waiting until the end of May :))
Arielle, you do a great job on your videos it's all about the way you present your self you talk clearly, knowledgeable, and with a smile from time to time. Eric does a good job too.
It’s so beautiful to sit back and watch positivity instead of all the bad news fare from the TV networks. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to watching what projects will come with spring. ❤❤
I have a great Idea, to mix the chicken feed use the cement mixer . your welcome!!!!
Happy International Women's Day! Wishing you strength, happiness, and all the love in the world♥
It is pure joy to watch your videos, dankeschön! 😊
It's awesome to hear that you used to live in Forest Grove at the college they have the best antique hot rod car show in the summer I enter my car every year❤❤❤
I would add a mud room as far as your roof sticks out and during the winter could put generators inside and vent them properly so fuel lines dont freeze and hang work clothes and windows for starting plants or a skylite. maybe a small tent type wood stove or a vented propane stove.
Hey guys, maybe you could look into a slide out rack system for under your bed. You could easily access more of your storage items underneath your bed. You could just pull the rack out to reach things underneath..I'm sure you could come up with a system that would make your life easier and give you access to more of your storage. Good luck! Good luck also with your new garden high tower. Looking forward to seee the results of your labor. As usual, you guys are doing a great job!
Beautiful Family!! Nave , great Joy😂. When my 2 boys were 7n 5 big one thought He was boss of Little one. Flash to 11 n 9, big one pushing little 1 around,... Came running into the house, bloody Nose! Said DAD, dad keep 1 away!! He just beat the Snot out of Me!! No problems since.😂😂
Your bread always comes out so beautiful! Thank you for your videos. Always positive attitudes even when there's a struggle. I learn from you all the time.
If you have to do a bunch of loads with the dump use your generator and a battery charger in back of the truck, put it on boost when you go do dump, will help get it off the frame. Lots of people burn out their electric pumps by running them really low.
Oh my gosh! fields of lavender! that would be unreal!
I just wanted to say Ariel you're a good cook and a good Baker!!😊 I'd really love to enjoy your meals!
The wonderful Fabulous Ariel so sweet I'm sure your family is thrilled with you my favorite season Gardening and wonderful vegetables
I see my favorite couple are getting ready for Spring. Still cold, but as this month and the coming months, they will be busy as Bee's. May there Spring be good with weather and all there time will get the job they want done will be seen through. May they have a Blessed Spring.😊❤👍👍🙏🙏 Keeping you in my prayers.
I remember as a kid my aunt and uncle lived in Teslin Lake Yukon they had such amazing gardens because of the long days. Knowing you are starting seeds makes me think I'm behind the growing curve. Back to my aunt and uncle, they fished a lot, and all the fish guts went in the garden. I couldn't believe how big the cabbage got. Loved the video !
Those buns do look good. My wife is cooking chicken wings in the oven and they're the best chicken of any kind I've ever eaten. The recipe came off RUclips.
Been a viewer for years and you still are both inspiring marriage goals.
I overwinter our Rosemary every year inside. Just a good sized pot because the plants can get seriously big. Also loves more water than you would think. A clay pot with a drip tray seems to work great for us. Our particular Rosemary plant is over 5 years old at this point.
I got a 6-pack of those lights off that jungle website for $99 free shipping. I'm using the same rack as you are, but I only use 4 shelves. The bottom one is full of 5 gallon pails with a San Marzano tomato plant in each, the first set of lights (2 of the Amazon lights with a single tube LED light between) are attached to the bottom of the shelf above it with a ratcheting pully system. That shelf has 6 window boxes of herbs. Chives, Scalions, Thyme, Basil, Parsley, and Oregano. Same light setup on that shelf. The next shelf up has 24 doubled up 500ml (2 cup) deli containers with a mixture of San Marzano and Roma tomatoes. Same light setup on that shelf. I'm in zone 3b, about 120 miles north of the Saskatchewan Canada / Montana USA border. You might say the city I live in is the belly button of North America. Next year I hope to put up a 10x10 foot greenhouse so I can grow more herbs and start a few veggies and maybe even strawberries.
Those buns looked fabulous! My buns rarely turn out that big nd fluffy.
9:37 it would have been really fun if when you made it to the wood stake that you turned the camera around and it was Eric in the sled 😂😂
Winter isn't even here yet in Maine and I can't wait to start my seeds!!! 😁
For the bed, you could use a system I’ve seen in tiny houses / RVs where the bed is raised and lowered using a chain and pulley system (some use a modified garage door opener to move it), which would give you full access to the floor beneath the bed during the day.
This sounds like a really cool idea.
You can build some upper/ceiling wall cabinets for your jackets. Which still provide walking space.
TWO THINGS:
1. I always assumed Eric was an electrician... LOL...LOL.
2. You two make some good looking dishes, always get a little hungry when ya cook.
Thanks for another inspiring episode. God bless and stay free🇺🇸🦅🤘🏻
Right. Bcz he wears those electric service business T-shirts. So, what did he do for a living? I believe Ariel was a dental hygienist. Not sure.
In Europe they add a seed room or what I suppose would be a kind of greenhouse structure on the side of the house, and it heats for free and if you leave a gap rather than a door it helps to heat the house.
Thank you for another delightful video. I feel blessed that you share your lives with us.
Wondering what you are going to do with the quonset hut. Have you considered putting in a plant growing room near one of the rear corners?
Each currently unfinished building ends could be finished with (1) walk thru doors, (2) garage doors for vehicles, and (3) lots of windows.
One corner for gardening, seed planting room. One corner for storage room. One corner for a guest bedroom. Fourth corner for an extra kitchen or something else you need. All in consideration that you will have heat, power, and water in the Hut.
Best wishes for 2024 and the future! Very excited about your new garden!!!
Your mastery of the art of the intro and the photography in your videos is simply breathtaking. You have blended scenic nature with intriguing background music that is really satisfying. Your videos are mystical and they make me feel like my soul is at peace when I watch them. I would play them on a loop as my screen saver everyday if I could.
I love the music you put with your drone and camera shots.
I really love the voice over catch up. I still love seeing you guys in the moment more but it’s great for the catch up. ❤️
Arielle, looking at you stating seedlings reminds me doing it myself which saved me from exasperation during the pandemic. It was enriching and fun and even though I mostly did flowers and few vegetables, it was very rewarding. Love watching your enthusiasm.
Please stay as I have seen you for all these years, love you and miss your dear baby-doggy. I came to love him also…
Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. ❤
So enjoying the Coop, tunnel cave ice, health check and then hit with The FEET!!! You got some good giggles outta me on that one!!!
Feet in the sled.😅
A friend gave me a load of "well coposted" horse manure. It was full of weed seeds and weeds took over my garden for years.
Always a good night when you two post I wish it was every day lol
Have you thought about raising the bed? If you bring it to hip height you could put sets of drawers underneath for clothes.
You could do some big shallow wooden boxes and put them on casters and put them under your bed to store everything in..they pull out really easily.
You could make a small extension on the back wall of your cabin...use the window and make it into a door...you could make a small bedroom and it would be heated from the stove.
You could use logs if you wanted in keeping but it might be easier to put insulated conventional walls and a sloping roof....a bit like your chicken coop.
Ariel, might I say that you are looking happy and content. Your pumpkin/ autumn colors look good on you. Best videos on gardening. Cant wait till harvest!!! Eric, you amaze me with all of your ideas and accomplishments!! Kiss the kids for me!!
Will do 🙂 thank you 💗
I feel like it's a super easy answer an addition that is a storage closet and seed room is a no brainer.
Have you thought about putting a top on your bed and storing stuff on top of there? Or putting a rack system overhead where you can hang containers by the edge/handles?
It's weird seeing so much snow. Normally we have that much but this year has been different.
Fantastic job I'm 70 and watching you two make a life and your food in such a place is inspiring
Big Lake here... We have a small cabin, too. We hang our winter clothes... snow pants, hoodies, jackets, along the top of our bed frame. They dry out faster, and it also blocks out some of the early morning sunshine. Nothing like putting on warm winter gear before you go outside into the elements. Love your content 🫶
Again, an awesome intro! Love seeing your animals. Delicious looking food. Yay, for some gardening. Y’all take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️
