You could fill that old raised bed with sand for the littles to have a sand box. They will stay busy while you are right there working in your garden. You can put plastic bottles over those bamboo stakes to prevent injuries. Would love to see your garden layout on paper with what veg you will grow in each bed and where fruits will be placed. Little by little it will come together!🙂
@Sherry 2 great suggestions.
The plastic bottles can be painted pretty colors and if you use a sharp knife & cut 3 small flaps in the sides then bend them out a little they will spin in the breeze and help keep some garden vermin scared away too.
What i was thinking go get a couple bags of sand put in there..great play pen
@@denisewilson8367 Cute idea but not sure about the sharp edges of the plastic flaps on little hands that will want to grab them. But i think i will use your idea for my taller tomato stakes!
Please think twice about sand for the littles?? They will get it in their eyes and everywhere else. Animals especially cats will potty in it!!! 🙂
6 years ago I searched "How to homestead with a baby" as I had just found out I was pregnant with my 4th very surprise baby to us and during a very rough time of life! I fell in love with you and your family and spent weeks going back and watching your videos from the very beginning. (312 videos 😉) You made me realize just how possible things are. Seeing you now, pushing through in this time of your life is so inspiring. Take the rough days and accept them as they come, just remember you are making such a difference to so many of us! ❤️
We like 3 foot beds because it comfortably accommodates a wheelbarrow. Truly looks like she's ready to garden mama!
It’s a hose they drag out - you’re safe!
I’ve done a lot of what you’re doing (technically I’m building my 4th lifetime garden) you’re on the right path!
I left a relationship commitment in 2020 and purchased a property with a large bonus lot. I started a garden and share it with the community.
The neighbors buy plants and supplies to contribute and help the whole season. The only thing I do is plan the layout and coordinate the planting.
They love sharing the experience.
It’s not my primary home and I got married this year. My husband and I have built a homestead and more garden space and share the rewards with everyone. Community around food is so rewarding 💚
If they have ways they can share the experience in anyway - it’s more likely everyone wins!
Bri, the love you have in your heart and share is so abundant it will overflow to everyone around you XO
If you’re looking for an Iowa escape, we would be glad to share our homestead waterfront access with you and your family!
Exciting to watch the garden grow from scratch! With your garden experience, you’ve got this Bri!
In case no one has told you today your are smart, beautiful, strong and loved ❤️
And more ❤❤❤
and so are you💖
I would definitely go with raised beds, several of them and you will be amazed by the quantity of food, flowers and herbs you can grow. No way I would start digging especially in that kind of ground. Also easier to tend.
Yep! I live on the side of a mountain. I used cinder blocks for raised beds then used cattle panels to make greenhouses. I imported the free soil and also used compost from my animals. Way less work!
I agree, I would use raised beds. They would be more attractive in a HOA develoment.
And fighting the weeds the first several years will be crazy bad. Stirring up all the dormant things in the ground....they are going to be wild!
@Karen Grammond Oh, I am so worried about her H.O.A. I have dealt many and they can be quite strict. I hope she checks with them before she digs up her yard.
I have been doing raised beds for 6 years now. I love them. I made mine from wood and a few need some pieces replaced. I would love to be able to afford the metal ones. So much easier to replenish the soil. I do no till in mine to keep the weeds down.
You’ve been a play in my inspiration to start my own channel and start sharing my tiny apartment garden🌿💛 thank you for coming back and continuing to be a part of my inspiration. I hope I can bring viewers the same peace you do🌱
🌿💚🌱💚🪴💚🌿💚🪴💚🌱💚🌿
I live in an apartment and I’m interested in seeing pictures of your garden 🪴 😊
whats your channel name so we can view too!!
@@mainenanabear9746 it’s Fatimasroots but I believe on you can click on my picture and it’ll take you there!🥰
That would be great to see an apartment garden, I live in a city with a smaller yard, I recently started a RUclips channel as well, let me know what your channel is I'll hope over follow 😊
For filling the Propane tanks here, the man typically will walk up to locate your tank if he's unfamiliar with the property, then he will return with a long hose to attach safely and securely to the tank top, with no leaks , he will fill your tank.
I cannot wait to see this series of videos progress with the garden from scratch, as I am looking forward to starting one myself!!! Thanks for sharing this valuable information. with us.
Cindy Ings, NL, Canada
That's what they do here too. I'm in maine. Ive never seen a propane or oil truck in or on anyone's yard or lawn, only in driveways with long hoses.
Yes they will drag a hose. Imagine driving a heavy truck on a yard. They would sink or leave ruts in a beautiful yard
Here you place the propane where they can reach it reasonably.
Our propane truck backs into our yard and fills with a hose, BUT their hose is not as long as your yard. So maybe call the company and ask to make sure.
Both propane tanks I’m personally familiar with in Ohio sit about 30’ from where the trucks park using a long hose. One is from a driveway and the other just parks on the side of a country road.
These babies are amazing. I was concerned,then our prayers were answered.
Edible Acres RUclips channel has a deer ‘fence’ made from one strand of fishing line and some jingle bells. It works because the deer can’t see the fishing line so they don’t try to jump it. That might be good for you HOA/ deer problem.
Your resilience is so inspiring! 💗
A portage style garden would be pretty since you cannot have a fence. An HOA can be very strict so be sure to read your bylaw requirements. I know our HOA is very particular.😜
Wow! You are a go-getter! I am very impressed with your motivation and skill in getting stuff done, all while caring for your littles.
You are so strong! Your kids will always remember your strength!
It’s so nice to watch you and feel like perhaps I’m doing okay with my little suburban garden. I really have no idea what I’m doing 😂, but I laid it out in the same way, sort of eyeballed the lines of it and measured with tape measures. This is our second year just putting seeds in the ground, adding some compost, trying to learn from our mistakes, and eating some really expensive but very satisfying lettuce. Thank you so much for putting these videos out there - I’m excited to follow your new garden from scratch.
Stivers Homestead does all their gardening in raised beds and they grow a TON of food. I think raised beds are more visually pleasing and would be less likely to draw negative attention from the neighbors or HOA. I would also suggest using the beds along the front edge of the yard to grow a profusion of flowers, also for visual appeal.
I like the flowers idea!
My propane is delivered via a hose. They park on the street out front and bring the hose to the back of my house to fill the tank. They won’t drive o your lawn .
For the folks that are new here and are telling her how to make her garden and what’s best for her to do. She’s been doing this for years. She knows what she’s doing. She’s got it under control. Can’t wait to see your progress Bri. You got this gurl. ❤❤❤ glad your back. I know you talked about the HOA. I know they like thing clean and slightly. Did you mention if you talked about a garden.
You are right she has gardened for years but this is first time with 7 children and no other adults helping on a daily basis.
@@Maggieroselee Gardening is just like riding a bike..all your knowledge just comes flooding back naturally. Plus she has many helpers and a lot of support from family and friends. She's got this. Let's just sit back and watch her and her garden grow💖
Everyone here is giving their input because they enjoy her content and want to help if they can. Simple tips and advice is not an attack on Bri. Take a chill pill. Bri is capable of handling her channel on her own.
I’m loving watching Bri from scratch. Your courage and strength is inspiring. I too had to do a from scratch 9 years ago and it a tough process. Seeing your smiling face makes me happy that your allowing us to share in your journey so we can encourage you in a small ways. You go girl- your a warrior momma!!!
You are an inspiration to those who feel hopeless. God bless you in this wonderful journey. I enjoy watching your videos. You look so fresh. Looking forward to see your garden ❤
Happy to see you getting your land ready for growing 🍆🥔🥦🥒🥕🌽🍅🥬🌶️🧅🧄🍠🫑
I join you on your journey to build a garden from scratch this year!!! So exciting but also a little intimidating. Your an inspiration!!! You got this
And Bri is back! So missed seeing you planing your garden out for the coming summer.
I sure wish I lived closer, I would be over in a heart beat helping ya out. Can't wait till the next video 😀
God bless you and the kiddos 🙏 ❤️
LOL can you imagine all of us 🤣 over there 🤣
@@Brenda-qm4sy Bri sure would get the things she wanted done and then some.
@Kim Richards Yes she would. ❤️ And Oh the fun we could all have helping her out not to mention having fun with those babies of hers. And of course we can't leave out the older ones either like Wilder. Lol 😆 😆 😆
It's so good to seeing you pop up in my feed 💕
Yay!!! The exhilaration of possibilities is such a motivator to move and work! I'm so happy for you and your family in this season of discovering what good and beautiful things can be found in this new phase of life.
I would give it 12 feet for sure! My husband is an arborist and they need 12 feet for their trucks 😊
Hope you're garden turns out great because you deserve it!
With your gas/propane, maybe there is a pipe underground that runs from the road to the tank, then from tank to house. Then a truck would fill from road side gas/propane port, just a thought.
I love what your doing and love the babies playing in the dirt box. I had so much fun playing in dirt as a child, so much fun.
As Justin would say, "1% is better than 0%. It fills my heart watching you blossom like the 🌻🌻 sun flowers 🌻🌻 you love into this new chapter of things to come.
The 🌻 sunflowers 🌻 I planted in my garden for you and your babies to represent love and healing for your family are just building the seed heads, i cant wait for them to flower.
You are so lucky having sooo awesome Friends❤ ,I am a little jealous .The garden looks amazing 😊😊
that baby is so cute toddling around getting into everything.
I love your enthusiasm, I really do, but I am so worried that HOA will burst your bubble
Me too makes me very nervous
Bri stated the HOA allows gardens
🌻🌼🌻 So nice to plan and dream. But also want to succeed and not be overwhelmed! Nice to plan out for future but also plant and maintain what you know you can keep up with for year 1. Being proactive so your garden is a joy and not a burden by August will make your summer a blessing.. Will also show your neighbors how beautiful your yard/garden will be as it grows!
Keep doing what you can! Even if it doesn't seem like much, it's more done than yesterday. Every day I plant something, not much, but something got done. ❤ You're doing great Bri!
So awesome that you will have a garden Bri!
Regarding Propane delivery - many many moons ago i worked for a propane gas company, as a bookkeeper. Things may have changed a bit since then, but i suspect not that much. Delivery truck is usually driven as close to tank(s) as possible, but still on the road or driveway. Not on the yard. Then the propane delivery person pulls out a very long hose from the truck to the tank fills it & then pulls a lever at the truck, that rewinds the hose back to the truck. Hopefully the mechanism is better for extending the hose from the truck now. I remember the drivers saying/ complaining how heavy it was & tiring to pull it, many times per day and they do it in all sorts of nasty weather. Makes ya grateful.
Let us know what ya find out, re your current delivery procedures.
Thx for sharing your life with us!
Wishing you the BEST with your garden. 💞
Thank you so much for bringing us along! I'm getting excited just watching the process, and it's giving me more inspiration to make my tiny yard and little flower beds at our rental house grow as much as they can!
It is interesting to watch you lay out your garden. Your experience shows. TFS
I love your tenacious, but gentle and kind warrior spirit, Bri, and I feel so blessed to get to come along with you an this journey! 💖
looks like you will still get to have a good size garden. I'm so happy for you 😊
Watching you plan a new garden is certainly up my alley. I always plant marigolds around my garden to keep the critters out as they give off a smell theu dont like. You are rocking it Bri...and children!!
So excited for you Bri 🥕 🍓 🎃
You are so loved❤
Thank you for taking us on your journey ❤❤❤
It’s such a lovely big space!
I admire you so much!, God bless this garden. May it be bountiful for your beautiful family!!! ❤️🙏
You are an amazing person! I could never balance everything you do on a daily basis. Thanks for sharing your world with us! I am also starting my garden from scratch on our new property. Thank you for the play by play. Going to follow ypur lead!
Excellent video! I've been gardening for a while and I learned something new😃 You're a great teacher! Thank you and keep up the great work!! I'm really enjoying your videos❣
Very glad you kept the old videos, i like watching them still. God bless
I see that planning and figuring out what you want in your garden makes your eyes shine and you just light up. So happy to see that for you.
Is your garden in the front, OR backyard? Front, watch our for angry neighbors!! Backyard better. Grow all you want. Prayers for a healthy family &&& garden.
Would love to see your garden!!! Truly is beautiful !!!
Several commenters say this is a HOA community. Is it? If so, you must check with the organization to make sure they allow big vegetable gardens. Otherwise, they can fine you for breaking their HOA rules and make you undo all your efforts, including replanting sod.
she has
I’m glad u r doing this from scratch..I am having to do the same thing since we moved and there’s never been a garden here..and I’m lost on what to do to do it right..thanks for doing this…
I plant east to west, because the wind knocks down my corn more north to south. Then I got smart and got hog panels for the corn , cucumbers, bird house gourds, and sunflowers I tie them to the panels when they get big enough. I like your idea of planting your pumpkins and squash along the fence area. I plant zinnias and marigolds, cosmos for all the pollinators to come to my garden. I plant as many flowers by seed to make it beautiful as well as grow all my vegetables. I cage all my tomatoes and they get 7 feet tall. My cages are 5 ‘ tall. I’m excited for you and wish you well , happy planting, my garden is my happy place. And I hope yours will be too for you.
I love planting my sunflowers on panels for the support!
I’m remembering your last garden and how it fed your soul, it was so beautiful and amazing. I’m wishing the same thing for you this year, not the same garden, but the big smiles and soul feeding! You’re doing great work, mama!
the area around you looks so beautiful and peaceful. Enjoy your outdoor time and your garden planning.
Bri, you're doing a wonderful job! I'm proud of you. I can't wait to see the garden area as it comes alive. Keep pushing on girl. You have this. Much Love, Karen ❤️
What a great start to the garden space. It is hard balancing math and babies but you take it in stride. It will be lovely and productive. Onward!
@@Lucaangelo252 why are you replying for Bri?
The little raised bed that the previous owner left would be great for either annual herbs like a variety of different types of basil or perhaps perennial herbs that you don't want to invade other garden areas such as mint or lemon balm, and you could tuck nasturtium or calendula in there too.
Good to see your garden starting to come together.
Especially with a garden right in the ground: you can always make it larger in the future!
I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see the new garden
Continuing Prayers for Art 🙏🏻
Love all your new videos can’t wait to go along with you in the garden this summer.
Bri, you are inspiring! We moved last summer so I will need to start all over with gardening as well. I am enjoying this content. Also, loving the encouragement on you Insta Stories yesterday.
Hi..... Bir nice to see you love watching your videos you did a good job 🏡🎥👍👍👍
You are the greatest. Thank you for sharing. I love envisioning the garden together. It will be luscious and beautiful.
Bri, you are an inspiration to everyone!!!
The green lid looks like what we have as housing and access to grinder pump before waste goes to sewage.
Lovely 😍 Really like the name you choose for your channel.
Great progress; thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗💕🇨🇦
Maybe the extra garden bed would make a great sand box for littles???
Pondering on how you'll keep out the wildlife. Looking forward to seeing how everything comes together. Mostly your flowers!!! You shine with your flowers.
I think she said she's going to look into putting up a temporary fence in a previous video, as permanent fencing is not allowed by HOA in the area.
Propane trucks have a pretty long hose. You can always call them. Let them know you're new to the area and see how long their hoses are.
I love this! Thanks Bri for bringing the camera with you. Truly has gotten so big!
It’s gonna be great. Love your new space. 🎉❤ You got a lot done! 🙌🏽
You are such an inspiration. You keep yourself so strong for your kids. People show their true colors when they are under stress and discomfort. And you, my dear Bri, are loving and resilient.
Bri, in Florida many housing developments have gas/ propane piped in… I’d check the top of your tank to see who placed the tank. Give them a call.
Check to see if you’re in any HOA… they have guidelines for plant placement on a side yard that faces another’s front door. You should have received a set of bylaws from your HOA at closing. See if you can find a copy of the survey. It should give you many of the measurements your looking for.
Bri, you are such an inspiration! All the best!❤️🙏🏻✝️
I believe her brother checked to see about a garden, he was told yes to garden but no to chickens.
It is so good to see you back. Love seeing the new house and garden planning and all of the new things you are able to do with your kids.
So glad in the UK hoa isn't a thing , can't believe people buy property and are then told what they can do on it! I get the no livestock etc but gardens and and paint colours! So good to be watching you garden again with your amazing smile, I always loved your smile it reaches your whole face ☺
It is crazy isn't it?! The land of the free... ha! Most of us HATE HOAs, but it's getting more and more difficult to get away from them.
Despite what you usually hear, all HOA communities are not the same. We built in a lovely neighborhood 8 years ago and are completely happy with our decision. This is not our forever home, but it suits our needs in this moment. We have a large raised bed garden, fruit trees, berries, cut flower garden, arched trellis for climbers, perennial flowering borders, and the wooded grove beyond our fence is filled with wildlife that we adore. Our community supports and encourages gardening, and no one is measuring your grass or complaining about the dandelions 😂 There are some truly horrid HOAs, so I understand why they get a bad wrap but sweeping generalizations are rarely accurate.
Another thing that gets me is the propane tank and septic tank. In the UK there is none of this so no worry about people getting to them etc
Please keep in mind gardening on an incline will cause soil erosion.
I am enjoying you planning of the garden!
Don't you love it when a Plan Comes Together!!
Great start on your garden. You will have a large garden space. The babies love the dirt. 👶🥰
Propane is usually delivered with a hose. They are super super long. So they can park in the driveway or on the road and they drag the hose to the tanks. My husband is a driver and thats what he has to do. It's a super long hose.
Your garden is going to look wonderful. As far as your neighbors getting upset due to your Gardens I say this, being that I live also under HOA. If they say the front yard you cannot do Gardens or vegetable gardens, fine, but HOA for the most part cannot prohibit you from building Gardens in the back of your home. And in all reality... even with the most strictest HOAs there's always a way to cover up areas by covering your ground with herbs that are ground cover herbs and even lemongrass. Lemongrass is great for mosquitoes and fly repelling LOL but they look like a decorative grass and the neighbors would never know that you use it to make tea LOL just things like that but you're doing great can't wait to see the gardens. Living under HOA has caused me to really think outside the box and be extremely creative because I need my Gardens LOL
HOAs can be a pain sometimes. I rented an apartment and the apartment owners decided I couldn't use the pool or other amenities. My Landlord filed a complaint and I won. Something about treating me in a discriminatory fashion. LOL. If they get nasty drop a hint about how marvelous a community garden would be. That should weed out any Karens.
If the HOA prohibits veg gardens in the front yard, that's when you put in landscaping with fruit trees, berry bushes and a lovely arbor with grape vines.
@@jan-janalemayer3518 I really wish they would do away with HOAs. I understand where they're coming from and making the houses look decent and not like a junkyard but to go so far as to tell a person that they can or cannot have a garden or can or cannot plant this kind of tree you can't have this amount of animals or you can't have these animals... I tell you what would the price of eggs nowadays I would love to have a mini chicken coop with about four or five little Silkie chickens. Right now is very tricky for a lot of people under HOA. And what really gets me is there is a town There's the new town is half of the community and the old town is the other half the old town is allow chickens and so forth but the new town which is still the same town as just divided in half is not it's very strict which is foolishness in mine mine. I also don't think that entire Community should be punished for one bad neighbor who abuses their rights to have chickens or so forth... Like if they really keep a nasty backyard and it looks really really bad it looks like a junkyard then find that person and be strict with that person but don't be so strict with everyone. Because there's so many people who have such great Gardens and animals from Quail to chickens to turkeys to dwarf sheep and dwarf goats and they keep their little tiny property or yard extremely immaculate. Anyways I could go on and on LOL. Jan good for you that you went after those people. That is horrid. I hope you have a beautiful and a very blessed day Jan formation point take care and God bless
@@christinedehn3257 Hahahahaha Yes! Exactly! I would also put herbs all along the sides in the front along with lemongrass and sweet potatoes! Hahaha
Yes, I would like a few Silkies too. I have almost a half acre that is wooded and ends on a river but the city just vetoed any farm animals again. Yet they have the nerve on taxes to call my house a farm house. Since my neighbors moved in across the street, he cleans his garage and dumps it in the front yard where it stays. But as an old lady, I can't have a few chickens. My 1/2 acre is empty. So sad!
Your other option, no till lay down cardboard and dump the compost right on the cardboard. Now that the beds are laid out it will be easy. A WHOLE lot less work
Bri I admire your enthusiasm laying out your gardens. Just don’t take on too much. I’m a country girl and it seems like the first year it’s hard to stop the weeds
I hope you do not take anything I say offensive because I watch your videos everyday that I can. I just want to say something that isn't any of my business or anyone else's but, I want you to understand that I had several children back to back and me and the father both suffered depression, my husband suffered multiple issues that he seeked help with but as Christians we pulled together and he stuck with us through it all. He still helped me more than he realizes and I thank him all the time even now that we raised our children and have grandchildren now. I see so many people, some being friends of mine that had husband's that walked away because of their mental issues. It's so much easier for a man and in some cases for mothers, but if you are a good mother, being the best you can; it's not so simple, we are stuck with fighting our mental problems as well as trying to be a good parent. I pray for you and the children but you deserve so much more, especially when you need a break to have a piece of mind for yourself. I don't know what your plans are for your and the children's future, but they need to know they are loved either way and you do so wonderful to be a young mother that you are. Prayers for you & the children 🙏 😊
Thanks for walking us through this process with you. I’m learning a lot. You have a lot more energy than me, my grandkids are your children’s ages right now. However, I definitely want to do a garden this year! Though it will be smaller than yours Bri. God bless you. ❤
Love the new name for the channel!
This is the video to watch when starting gardens on a new property! Perfect, Bri.
Bri, you could always use the extra beds to grow green compost like comfrey or similar plants that you can harvest and use to feed your main plants and significantly help your poor soil also it’s organic too
I’m excited for you Bri, it’s going to be a lovely summer watching you set up for the years ahead! Much love and blessings to you all. The channel name is perfect 🤩
I used to live in the country and had a lg garden, now I live in a city and have a small garden but still get excited for planting season. I just started a channel recently and get inspiration from you to stay real 💞🌿
I’m growing in the city and get excited about planting too.
Taking notes! 👍🏽
Beautiful 😍 you are doing amazing 🙂.
Have you checked with HOH if you can even have a garden this size? Are you allowed to fence it in from deer, kids, neighbours pets? How about putting down weed barrier then add soil on top. Tilling poor soil takes many more years to make it enriched as you know. If you can control the soil contents you are ahead of the game. Work smarter not harder works in gardening too. ❤❤
That looks like a Bri sized garden!!! It'll be awesome!!
The propane truck will pull in your driveway and pull a hose around to your propane tank to fill it up. That’s the way they do ours
I think you're right on track with the new garden-we lost our house to fire last spring and will be actively working on our new "cottage" this gardening season so I will end up keeping a chunk of it covered but adding compost to improve the soil even while I am not able to work it this year. Can I also say it is very inspiring to me to partner with you (and others) who are being wonderful of examples of being willing to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass. Blessings on you, your family and all the folks God has to come across your paths to help and direct you.
I too am learning to dance in the rain not just waiting for the storm to pass... Keep going Bri, take micro moments to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and find something you can be grateful for in that moment, then keep moving. Trusting God can be hard, But most of the time it's only when we look back we can see his providential hand and care guiding and directing in ways we could never have imagined. I'm rooting for you and praying for you ❣️
