The next time you go under the house can you put a big giant rubber spider on your back just for fun and pretend you don’t know it’s there. That would be funny
I believe test and needle are the mark. Four things are mentioned in revelation 13. It glows under blacklight and I have several reports of them both seeming to spread through shared fluids.. I asked God if it was too late for my family member who took the needle. I was immediately given several dreams and I saw them getting activated suddenly and turning to harm anyone they could with rage and strength like a fast zombie. God told me to lookup Revelation 6:8 original translation. It’s about the beasts of the earth. Asked for confirmation and was immediately led to three other people describing being shown similar. And now I’ve found around 150 people. 2 Thessalonians 2 says they’re damned and given over. Mix that with Isaiah 66:2-6 and revelation 3:10 and Matthew 24 where it says to keep watch or he could come on you at an hour unaware.. Keep the commands to keep your oil full, ask which of the seven Church categories you’re in. The two not rebuked become the 2 Witnesses. Compare the mystery in revelation 1 to revelation 11. And I believe they’re the 144k. I was given a dream summer 2019 before the rollout....appeared to be lockdowns as I went to meet someone I know at a place that wasn’t a hospital. A dr came out and I fought for my life to leave..thinking I’d been tricked. I knew it was a shot unlike any because I wasn’t anti vax then. Then, I had the answer dream about the zombies. I also had two other dreams. One was in a building and several doors opened showing me that rich and poor lived there. I was speaking with a man and a snake was coming out of his nose and so I told him and he brushed it off, laughed and me, and mockingly three it at me. I also watched myself outside at night in my car and an officer had his flashlight and gun pulled at me. He handed me what appeared to be a patch with a hard green square in the center. Many people point to the movie cell and kingsman... satans army as Revelation describes.
We’re growing a sunflower patch this year. We grew about 20 sunflowers last year and once they were finished but still green and fresh, we cut away the exterior layer of the flower on the front, back and sides, then filleted the inner meat of the flower and fried in a little olive oil and lightly salted. It was AMAZING! So so very good! This year we will use the entire sunflower for food, seeds, inner flesh of the flower, stems and roots. There’s a lot of food in just one sunflower. 🌻
This will be my first year to plant anything, and I'm over 50yrs old! I know from house plants that I don't have a green thumb but I'm willing to learn, fail, learn a lesson, investigate, etc.! Happy planting everyone!
I always learn something new watching Stacy and Doug. We have about an acre and I’ve been ‘homesteading’ for about two years. I love it. Even if someone doesn’t have a big homestead, we can all have a homestead mindset and we can all do something to start small. Love your videos!
It is amazing how many gardeners grow based on what they think they are supposed to grow vs. what they like to eat! Thanks for giving folks the permission to grow what they want to grow!
Stacy, Great Information in your video, as always. Especially now times are tough for working families. And some may have to rely on food stamps. But a lot of people don't realize that you can actually buy vegetable seeds with food stamps.
Oh Stacy! (& Doug) You’re such an inspiration for so many things! I have told a ton of people about your channel! Understanding where our food comes from and being truly self sufficient is such rare thing these days. Getting back to basics should be on everyone’s list. God bless your continued journey of teaching us all! 💝
This is great! Thanks Stacy. I needed a better system to organize my seeds. Pre practicing for a dream of homesteading someday. I purged and packed my whole life. Moved across the country with “12 boxes in a van” my theme. 😂 I’m definitely not liking it here. But found out what I cannot do. I moved into a rental that was half the size of my last home. Next? 😂 moving forward. You guys gave me hope for a dream realized.
Stacy, I really like the way you start tomato seeds. Also, eating radish greens! Thank you for sharing that! I would like to try things like leeks, celery, eggplant and a variety of peppers this year.
LOL Hearing the turkeys answer Stacy's "gobble gobble", reminded me of when our grand daughter would call our cat and the neighbors turkeys would respond with their gobbles. Thank you Stacy for the giggle and for the tip on saving tomato seeds.
OoOOo you'll love it. Start some seeds!! My grandpa always grew stuff and when I grow it makes me feel so close to him still. Lost him in 1995 but when I garden he's right there with me!! 🌞🌱🌷🍅🍆🌻🍆🍅🌷🌱🌞
Love your channel! We are new to homesteading, and are only in our third year of gardening, but with my passion for whole food nutrition, gardening just makes sense. I've been dreaming of gardening for years, but finally have a place where we are able to go crazy with it.
None of my asparagus made it in to the house last year because I snacked on it as I worked in the garden. My kids did not mind so much but my husband was really disappointed. So I added to my asparagus patch last year so he would have a chance at them too. A little early yet but I have already started going out to check and see if I have shoots yet.
@Victoire: don't forget that your "mother" strawberry plants (the original ones) won't produce fruit again. They may keep growing, and have lots of nice green leaves, but they only produce fruit once. That's why they send out shoots to make "daughter" plants, to keep producing. So after a year or 2, you need to take out the old strawberry plants (when they stop producing new shoots), to make room for the "daughters" to grow.
I so LOVE y’all!!! I am a first time gardener and I have LOTS of health issues, mainly with it gut! I have never heard of fermenting veggies and that lemonade looks WONDERFUL!! I started eating some dill pickles the other day! Kosher ones, and my stomach had been bothering me but it quit after I ate the pickles! Oh how I long for some land to farm!
Try sipping some fermented veggie brine each day to heal your tummy. Kombucha is very good for the gut if you can get a scoby (free ones on a Facebook group). Happy growing!
Looking forward to starting my seeds this weekend. First serious garden & looking forward to see what the Lord will provide for my efforts. Thanks for your info & your enthusiasm...it's contagious! Shalom!

Major spring fever over here!!! I have bunches of seeds germinating now, (didn't know my marigolds are edible!! Thank you!) Picking up the chickens tomorrow, and the bees are buzzing. 😁 This is my very favourite channel. Love you guys sooooo much! 💚
I have a complete case of spring fever...... last week spoiled me and now I am looking at the forecast and almost crying. Sooooo tired of cold and snow.
I just scrap my cutting board seeds into the flower garden and I have bell peppers, tomatoes, avocados, onions, Spanish oregano… easiest kind of planting. Thanks for the tips about marigolds.
SE WI ~ just planted cold crops today & it felt so good even though it was a little nippy out! Beets, peas, kale, turnip greens, radishes, lettuce, spinach & carrots in the ground! All other veggies are under grow lights...love this time of year! Thanks Stacy ❤
I've doubled the size of our garden this year. Our blackberry plant is huge we'll get a lot of black berries. The raspberry I planted last year is looking good. I took a chance on a clearance blueberry and grapes last year and they are both doing so well! I am doing kale and collards this year which is new for me. I planted a new strawberry plant and I have so many cantaloupe seedling growing I'll be able to give a few to my sister! We've got onions, carrots, tomato, peppers and thank you so much for those tips on saving the seeds that's gonna be awesome for me. God bless Stacey! ❤️
I have a cherry tomato plant in a 1/2 gallon mason jar under lights & it's growing great! I also grow herbs and medicinal plants like houseplants like Lemon Balm, longevity spinach, micro greens, aloe.
Thank you. I live on the 9th floor with no patio. I do have big windows and plan to play with regrowing cuttings from say green onion bottoms or maybe a little pot of garlic. Thanks for the content and entertainment. 💪🏽🙏💖
This is my third year gardening. I plan to build a large arch trellis over my two beds. I think my new things this year are bitter melon and water melon. Also on the trellis will be beans, cucumbers, and some climbing flowers. Early in the season there will be no shade on the many things I have planned for the beds, but as the summer goes on, the heat increases and the climbers will shade the beds from the worst of the heat. It will also give me a chance to start my fall crop directly in the bed while shaded a bit by the trellis. 🤞
I planted my potatoes late due to 3 weeks of heavy rains but mine I’ve hilled up twice and they are still up 8-10 inches tall from me covering them twice!
UK. I have toms, beets, chives, lavender, chillis, and seeds planted, just waiting to see if they grow. love your tips for planting herbs with the toms.
I'm working on leveling my raised bed then will plant some early lettuce, radishes, cilantro, and arugula. I'm also going to look for the book you mentioned, "Carrots Love Tomatoes". Thank you for recommending it Stacy!
Great ideas! Definitely doing the tomato slices this year. And I’m finally adding lots of flowers to my garden (echinacea, marigolds, calendula & zinnias).
I'm very new to your channel and I'm so encouraged by all that you are teaching us! I'm 63 and working towards regaining my health. This as with all your videos I've seen are giving me so many ideas how to eat better and grow my own foods which I think is going to be vitally important since we are seeing increased prices and possible food shortages. Thank you so for all you do!
I adore growing Marigolds every year, have for many years now. aside from the reasons you have, they just make feel happy and are my goto spring flower
We are trying out eggplant and okra for the first time this year. My son also wants to grow a milk pumpkin like Almanzo did in Farmer Boy. Hopefully he has the same success as Almanzo had. I look forward to watching as you share your garden this year!
You will love the eggplant. I had one plant last year and got so many from it. Trick is to keep it trimmed. Looking forward to this year as well. Yep, I got the fever, but we are having a big storm come through in the next few days, so I'm holding off till it passes.
There's a trick to keeping okra from being "slimy" - saute in the oil of your choice, but add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and cook until it's not "stringy" anymore. Then add to the dish of your choice, or just eat with salt & pepper! They are also good grilled whole. Just make sure to harvest them while they are tender - the stem should be easy to cut. Good luck!
Being in the south okra is a staple crop here in fact one year hubby had to get out the 12 foot ladder just to keep it cut and “makin’” until the first frost in November. It actually got over 13 feet tall…a first and only! Usually it gets about 7 feet tall. We like to cut it into bite sized pieces, roll it in a flour/cornmeal/black pepper mixture and fry in hot oil till it gets a golden brown like French fries( which doesn’t take but a couple minutes) then lightly salt it up as a side dish. Also we pickle it just like our “Dilly Beans” (green beans) and give as Christmas gifts which friends and family love to receive ❤️
Just saw your video from 4 years ago - Doug surprised you for your anniversary - and showed pictures from your early marriage - ABSOLUTELY HEARTWARMING ❤️
I plant marigolds as a pest deterrent. I had no idea they were edible. I am trying them on salads ext this year. I have also started fermenting thanks to you.
Love your vlogs Stacey. It’s the start of autumn (fall) here in Australia so I’m going to try your method of saving the seeds from a couple of tomatoes that did well this summer. Thank you 🌻
Thanks for reminding me, Stacey, to get out my watermelon radish seeds and PLANT THEM! 🤣 (re:grow what you want to eat advice)! Thank you! Love your channel!
I watched you and got dirt fever, so I already have peas, spinach, radishes, carrots, lettuce, and onions up and growing in my beds and cold frames. My sweet potatoes are just beginning to make slips. It's so much fun. I really enjoy you and Doug ,y'all are so informative. I wish I were your neighbor. I live in Mo, too, but several hours away from you. May God continue to bless you.
I live on the road full time in my rv. This year I have tomatoes, cilantro, kale, green peppers, lettuce, and sweet potatoes planted inside the rv just waiting for the weather to get warm enough to move outside into pots and baskets.
Hi Stacy! My name is Stacey too! Love your style and you're just a treasure of a human being in my eyes! I want to thank you and Doug for all of the video treasures that I get to watch and learn from! Hugs and respect from southwest Virginia!
Love the photo album idea for seed storage. I to am itchy to start gardening. I purchased a variety pack of heirloom seeds off amazon and even a 8 shelf portable green house. The seeds are amazing. They provided everything one would need and then some, for a mixed garden. The little greenhouse is perfect for me. They certainly do not disappoint when received. I also purchased some 7 gallon ottin fabric pots. This will be the first time I have used them so wish me luck. I thought they would be perfect for tomatoes and root vegetables. I will give them a try and give feedback in the Fall in how they work out. They are suppose to last years so here's hoping the sale pitch is right on the mark. They are a cheaper means of growing a grden and I was told they are also nice for flowers. Thank you always for your tips regarding everything on the homestead. I look forward to your videos. You have a wonderful lifestyle. Hard work yes but oh so satisfying. We use to own a large cash crop and horse farm but we sold it when we retired. I still miss working with the animals and getting my hands dirty in the earth. So now I am an urban gardener with a 100 acre mindset. Oh No! I will be turning every green spot into a garden :)
Have spring fever bad this year. Luckily we're not frozen here like back East. Trying to grow onions from seed this year. Seeing what the difference is.
I live in the thick woods and it’s even hard to keep my indoor plants alive. I use a grow lite to try and keep them happy. I can’t wait to finally get a sunny spot of farm land to build a little cabin and grow veg again.
I love doing that with my carrots. I let a few go to seed and then scatter the seeds and let them lilly nilly fall all over and they give me a spring and fall crop it's great. The plants know when to pop out and it's easy and tons of free seeds.
Grow things you like to eat is very good advice. I hardly ever follow it, but I try. Sometimes it's exciting to grow something new. Like eggplants. One year I got lots of them and then I was like what am I gonna do with eggplants? I had no idea how to eat them. Got a recipe for eggplant parmasan, fixed those eggplants up and loved it. I make it every time I grow eggplants. I could make it out of season by buying eggplants at the store, but no. I try to eat whatever is in the garden.
Thank you for sharing Stacy. I love your garden videos. This year we are planting a variety of strawberry called a pineberry. We tried last year and they grew excellent but I let too many runners go and it didn't produce any fruit. On the positive side we have a bunch of extra plants from all the runners so this year I'm excited for a good crop. According to the nursery where we got the original plant, this variety has a tropical flavor. I'm excited to taste that this summer!
Hi Stacy I'm Betty Jo from MN . I'm going to plant this year in baskets from dallar store . I'm going to put heavey garbage bags in each basket and I'm putting drainage holes in bottom. I don't have raised beds so going to try this out! I love your videos thankyou for everyone one of them your awesome both of you ! Bettyjo Norton finlayson MN. I'm growing elderberry's this year!
Live in Phoenix area ... zone 9a. Planted lettuce, cucumbers, egg plant, sunflowers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, kale, snap peas. Next month will plant spaghetti squash, zucchini, beets, swiss chard and beans.
Plant at least two tomatillo plants, as they are no self-fertile. They also take a bit of time to get going, but when they do, jump back! They take a lot of space. You'll get volunteers next spring from dropped fruit.
On a whim I decided to try and grow lentils. So I planted some lentils in a peat pot on a heat mat and then under lights and wallah! Lentil plants!!! Recently transplanted in my raised beds and we’ll see what happens! I don’t even know what to expect but I’m excited to find out!❤️😘🙏🏻
hello! I'm glad I found your channel. This year I'm trying a few plants... zucchini, tomato, snow peas, carrots, lettuce, sunflower, pansy, and daisy. I started the seeds indoors a few weeks ago, and I'm excited that they're growing!
Hello Miss Stacy 😊 I'm excited for spring to get here. Michigan's cold cold cold... I'm really excited to get my garden started. I'm going to be planting Red Beets, green beans, carrots, pickling cucumbers, butternut squash, zucchini, cauliflower, tomatoes, onions, garlic, colored bell peppers, sweet corn, cabbage. I can't wait to spend the summer in the garden with grandson🥰🥰 Thank you for all that you and Doug do and share with all of us. You're a couple of beautiful souls. Stay safe and may God continue to Bless and watch over your homestead ❤️🙏
What a great way to spend the first day of spring. I have spring fever too and I am anxious to get the seeds into the ground. I loved the idea of using an album for holding seeds.
"Love your shows, I like the easy natural methods in the garden to. I've been learning about the edible flowers dandelions. The yard will have alot more color this year.🌻🌱
I am moving back to England from Missouri this year. I am looking forward to growing plenty of brassicas. I have struggled with them here and we eat a lot of them. In the meantime I am enjoying getting my garden ready for the next people who move in to enjoy.
Great video! What are we trying new this year? Growing a garden in KY! Moved here from the west and this is very different! Also using the vertical gardening with gorgeous raised beds that my husband is making out of cement, cinder blocks, lined with weed barrier slit a bit for drainage. Trellis all throughout the 2 4'x15' and one center box that's 3'x15', boxes are filled with rotting wood from our property, lined with cardboard to help level things out and topped with our own compost that we started last year! TONS of natural flowers here @ the foot of the Appalachian range and I will be putting many more! Putting in bee hive near the garden and getting ready to set the swarm traps! Other than that we aren't doing a thing!
Love the idea about the tomato slices in pots. I take all my seeds for the following year that I will plant and freeze them. they come up evertime. I'm a quilter and when Spring comes I'm ready to plant too.
I really starting to feel like you and Doug are family. My first year gardening and of course I've been winter gardening in homemade greenhouse. Always have to do things the hard way it seems. Pots pots pots! Having trouble with green peppers and chives. Slow growing for everything it seems. Prob the weather. I'm in Ks. My cat ate the kale and the cabbage! grrr lol You both are a Godsend. I drink Haymaker every day. Use Ghee daily. Making ACV-first batch. Shampoo/conditioner and deodorant. Seems I'm changing everything for the better and am praying for a place in the country so raised beds and chickens can be added. God bless you and Doug!!
Something new I did this year for different raised beds was since wood is so expensive I saw a RUclips channel where they wrapped a cardboard box with chicken wire. Filled them up little wood some leaves compost dirt on top and just line them up. It's an excellent way to plant and it works great.
Started seed a few weeks ago for 5 families. Lol. I have tons of beautiful plants. Have never started herbs from seeds....That’s this weeks project. Love the tomato seed idea. I’ll be trying that this fall. Good to see ya! Great video. Ordered the book and the 2 companion books. Thanks for all of the tips! Much WV Live and Many Prayers! 💙💛🙏
My grandmother had a glorious garden and she gave me a very thorough tour of it when I was a teenager starting homeschooling and it was a wonderful biology lesson for sure. She even knew the scientific names of her flowers and plants and could tell me all about each variety and how they grew. She had quite the green thumb and had a full greenhouse, citrus trees and a beautiful walking path from her front yard to the back yard. It was a sight to behold. I always wanted to be able to grow things like she could! Now that I have my own garden I think of her often. 🥰 I am planting both a grapefruit and lemon tree in her honor this year. She grew so much in a small suburban area! It was quite impressive. She wasn’t big on growing vegetables. She liked flowers and trees best. I think it brought her a lot of joy.
I want to plant all the things! I have all the seeds! But I also have all the rocks and deer and no raised beds or fences yet. Time to get creative! 🪴🍅🌶🥒🥕🌽🥬🍠
Last year our "new to us" veggie was a cherry tomato that was chocolate color! Hubby loved it, I though it was weird but ate it anyway. This year for the first time (don't know why never did before) we are doing pole beans. They are already going nuts! Will be moving them to the garden next to the fence and just let them cover it. Thanks for your videos! Love your greenhouse.
Thanks,Stacy, for adding this video! Love the tomato seeding idea❤️ trying echinacea and cucumber trellises this year. Can’t wait! Please add more tips…we’ll be watching.
Love your videos! Our ground is still frozen zone 4a-4b, but I will be planting things in pots very soon maybe today, and keeping them inside for a while. I already purchsed soils and seeds a month ago, spring fever :) ! Our last frost date is May 15th. Flowers, veggies, and fruits will be growing here very soon. Need to get to the $ store for some more gardening supplies!
Stacy I love your videos! I'm growing blue popcorn for the first time and I'm also setting up raised beds and a food forest on our new off grid (with solar) homestead. I started hundreds of kale, oh well guess I will give them to everyone I know. :)

That sounds so yummy!
Whaaaat!!?? That's the coolest!
The squirrels ate every single sunflower we planted! I'm trying to decide if it's even worth it this year.
wait! what? you can eat the entire sunflower??? I had no idea! 😳
This will be my first year to plant anything, and I'm over 50yrs old! I know from house plants that I don't have a green thumb but I'm willing to learn, fail, learn a lesson, investigate, etc.! Happy planting everyone!

Hi Stacy I planted marigolds many times I never knew They were edible. I will try to add them to my salad this year. Great info.

I have a complete case of spring fever...... last week spoiled me and now I am looking at the forecast and almost crying. Sooooo tired of cold and snow.
I just scrap my cutting board seeds into the flower garden and I have bell peppers, tomatoes, avocados, onions, Spanish oregano… easiest kind of planting. Thanks for the tips about marigolds.
SE WI ~ just planted cold crops today & it felt so good even though it was a little nippy out! Beets, peas, kale, turnip greens, radishes, lettuce, spinach & carrots in the ground! All other veggies are under grow lights...love this time of year! Thanks Stacy ❤
Woa your good! Also in Wi and need to get my beds out and filled 😅
Also in SE WI hoping to get sweet potato slips growing.
I've doubled the size of our garden this year. Our blackberry plant is huge we'll get a lot of black berries. The raspberry I planted last year is looking good. I took a chance on a clearance blueberry and grapes last year and they are both doing so well! I am doing kale and collards this year which is new for me. I planted a new strawberry plant and I have so many cantaloupe seedling growing I'll be able to give a few to my sister! We've got onions, carrots, tomato, peppers and thank you so much for those tips on saving the seeds that's gonna be awesome for me. God bless Stacey! ❤️
I have a cherry tomato plant in a 1/2 gallon mason jar under lights & it's growing great! I also grow herbs and medicinal plants like houseplants like Lemon Balm, longevity spinach, micro greens, aloe.
Thank you. I live on the 9th floor with no patio. I do have big windows and plan to play with regrowing cuttings from say green onion bottoms or maybe a little pot of garlic. Thanks for the content and entertainment. 💪🏽🙏💖
This is my third year gardening. I plan to build a large arch trellis over my two beds. I think my new things this year are bitter melon and water melon. Also on the trellis will be beans, cucumbers, and some climbing flowers. Early in the season there will be no shade on the many things I have planned for the beds, but as the summer goes on, the heat increases and the climbers will shade the beds from the worst of the heat. It will also give me a chance to start my fall crop directly in the bed while shaded a bit by the trellis. 🤞
One year I planted a few short rows of Swiss chard; so productive the neighbors and us couldn’t keep up. Good in salads or steamed, it’s like spinach.
I started potato boxes this year and even with cool days it's all ready growing ! 🤗
I planted my potatoes late due to 3 weeks of heavy rains but mine I’ve hilled up twice and they are still up 8-10 inches tall from me covering them twice!
Such fun to grow! And when you can save seeds to plant and take cuttings to root and replant you have yourself free food.
UK. I have toms, beets, chives, lavender, chillis, and seeds planted, just waiting to see if they grow. love your tips for planting herbs with the toms.
I'm working on leveling my raised bed then will plant some early lettuce, radishes, cilantro, and arugula. I'm also going to look for the book you mentioned, "Carrots Love Tomatoes". Thank you for recommending it Stacy!
I would love to see a video on companion planting to get the most out of my small garden. Love your channel!
Great ideas! Definitely doing the tomato slices this year. And I’m finally adding lots of flowers to my garden (echinacea, marigolds, calendula & zinnias).
I'm very new to your channel and I'm so encouraged by all that you are teaching us! I'm 63 and working towards regaining my health. This as with all your videos I've seen are giving me so many ideas how to eat better and grow my own foods which I think is going to be vitally important since we are seeing increased prices and possible food shortages. Thank you so for all you do!
Love to hear a rooster first thing in the morning..💗 And a big thank you and thumbs up for doing this video!!👍👍👍💗
I adore growing Marigolds every year, have for many years now.
aside from the reasons you have, they just make feel happy and are my goto spring flower
I'm so excited! I'm trying beets, radishes, turnips, and a bunch of other flowers. This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
We are trying out eggplant and okra for the first time this year. My son also wants to grow a milk pumpkin like Almanzo did in Farmer Boy. Hopefully he has the same success as Almanzo had. I look forward to watching as you share your garden this year!
You will love the eggplant. I had one plant last year and got so many from it. Trick is to keep it trimmed. Looking forward to this year as well. Yep, I got the fever, but we are having a big storm come through in the next few days, so I'm holding off till it passes.
There's a trick to keeping okra from being "slimy" - saute in the oil of your choice, but add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar and cook until it's not "stringy" anymore. Then add to the dish of your choice, or just eat with salt & pepper! They are also good grilled whole. Just make sure to harvest them while they are tender - the stem should be easy to cut. Good luck!
I always add something new to my garden every year.
Being in the south okra is a staple crop here in fact one year hubby had to get out the 12 foot ladder just to keep it cut and “makin’” until the first frost in November. It actually got over 13 feet tall…a first and only! Usually it gets about 7 feet tall. We like to cut it into bite sized pieces, roll it in a flour/cornmeal/black pepper mixture and fry in hot oil till it gets a golden brown like French fries( which doesn’t take but a couple minutes) then lightly salt it up as a side dish. Also we pickle it just like our “Dilly Beans” (green beans) and give as Christmas gifts which friends and family love to receive ❤️
@@firegirl441fromga6 Thank you!
Just saw your video from 4 years ago - Doug surprised you for your anniversary - and showed pictures from your early marriage - ABSOLUTELY HEARTWARMING ❤️
I plant marigolds as a pest deterrent. I had no idea they were edible. I am trying them on salads ext this year. I have also started fermenting thanks to you.
I started celeriac new this year. They took a long time to sprout, I almost gave up! They are still in my basement under lights.
Love your vlogs Stacey. It’s the start of autumn (fall) here in Australia so I’m going to try your method of saving the seeds from a couple of tomatoes that did well this summer. Thank you 🌻
Thanks for reminding me, Stacey, to get out my watermelon radish seeds and PLANT THEM! 🤣 (re:grow what you want to eat advice)! Thank you! Love your channel!
Hello L
How are you doing
I watched you and got dirt fever, so I already have peas, spinach, radishes, carrots, lettuce, and onions up and growing in my beds and cold frames. My sweet potatoes are just beginning to make slips. It's so much fun. I really enjoy you and Doug ,y'all are so informative. I wish I were your neighbor. I live in Mo, too, but several hours away from you. May God continue to bless you.
I live on the road full time in my rv. This year I have tomatoes, cilantro, kale, green peppers, lettuce, and sweet potatoes planted inside the rv just waiting for the weather to get warm enough to move outside into pots and baskets.
I will be growing Nasturtiums! Nice peppery taste. Do well in a pot and you can over winter by bringing in and out during freezes. Blooms all year!
Hi Stacy! My name is Stacey too! Love your style and you're just a treasure of a human being in my eyes! I want to thank you and Doug for all of the video treasures that I get to watch and learn from! Hugs and respect from southwest Virginia!
Awww ❤
O my we live in southwest Virginia also hello neighbors. May your garden be blessed ❤
Love the photo album idea for seed storage. I to am itchy to start gardening. I purchased a variety pack of heirloom seeds off amazon and even a 8 shelf portable green house. The seeds are amazing. They provided everything one would need and then some, for a mixed garden. The little greenhouse is perfect for me. They certainly do not disappoint when received. I also purchased some 7 gallon ottin fabric pots. This will be the first time I have used them so wish me luck. I thought they would be perfect for tomatoes and root vegetables. I will give them a try and give feedback in the Fall in how they work out. They are suppose to last years so here's hoping the sale pitch is right on the mark. They are a cheaper means of growing a grden and I was told they are also nice for flowers. Thank you always for your tips regarding everything on the homestead. I look forward to your videos. You have a wonderful lifestyle. Hard work yes but oh so satisfying. We use to own a large cash crop and horse farm but we sold it when we retired. I still miss working with the animals and getting my hands dirty in the earth. So now I am an urban gardener with a 100 acre mindset. Oh No! I will be turning every green spot into a garden :)
Have spring fever bad this year. Luckily we're not frozen here like back East. Trying to grow onions from seed this year. Seeing what the difference is.
Hello mom
How are you doing today
I live in the thick woods and it’s even hard to keep my indoor plants alive. I use a grow lite to try and keep them happy. I can’t wait to finally get a sunny spot of farm land to build a little cabin and grow veg again.
I love doing that with my carrots. I let a few go to seed and then scatter the seeds and let them lilly nilly fall all over and they give me a spring and fall crop it's great. The plants know when to pop out and it's easy and tons of free seeds.
Grow things you like to eat is very good advice. I hardly ever follow it, but I try. Sometimes it's exciting to grow something new. Like eggplants. One year I got lots of them and then I was like what am I gonna do with eggplants? I had no idea how to eat them. Got a recipe for eggplant parmasan, fixed those eggplants up and loved it. I make it every time I grow eggplants. I could make it out of season by buying eggplants at the store, but no. I try to eat whatever is in the garden.
Hi..... DOUG and STACY, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing Stacy. I love your garden videos. This year we are planting a variety of strawberry called a pineberry. We tried last year and they grew excellent but I let too many runners go and it didn't produce any fruit. On the positive side we have a bunch of extra plants from all the runners so this year I'm excited for a good crop. According to the nursery where we got the original plant, this variety has a tropical flavor. I'm excited to taste that this summer!
Hi Stacy I'm Betty Jo from MN . I'm going to plant this year in baskets from dallar store . I'm going to put heavey garbage bags in each basket and I'm putting drainage holes in bottom. I don't have raised beds so going to try this out! I love your videos thankyou for everyone one of them your awesome both of you ! Bettyjo Norton finlayson MN. I'm growing elderberry's this year!
Live in Phoenix area ... zone 9a. Planted lettuce, cucumbers, egg plant, sunflowers, tomatoes, onion, garlic, kale, snap peas. Next month will plant spaghetti squash, zucchini, beets, swiss chard and beans.
I’m trying ground cherries for the first time this year.
Hello Karen
How are you doing today
Nature looks after us as i do the tomato and cucumber seeds for free. love the photo album thing as well. Thanks busy woman.
I am trying white watermelon and Tomatillos for the 1st time ever. also propagating seeds indoors for the 1st time ever. so far so good!!
Plant at least two tomatillo plants, as they are no self-fertile. They also take a bit of time to get going, but when they do, jump back! They take a lot of space. You'll get volunteers next spring from dropped fruit.
@@lauriesmith7517 Good to know. Thank you! I planted 6. so far 5 have germinated
On a whim I decided to try and grow lentils. So I planted some lentils in a peat pot on a heat mat and then under lights and wallah! Lentil plants!!! Recently transplanted in my raised beds and we’ll see what happens! I don’t even know what to expect but I’m excited to find out!❤️😘🙏🏻
Thanks for something to read. I do plans green bean not my favorite I enjoy giving to family and friends
Hello Sally
How are you doing
hello! I'm glad I found your channel. This year I'm trying a few plants... zucchini, tomato, snow peas, carrots, lettuce, sunflower, pansy, and daisy. I started the seeds indoors a few weeks ago, and I'm excited that they're growing!
I feel like we are getting spoiled getting a few videos in a row from you and I am so loving it. Please keep spoiling us!!
Love your enthusiasm about spring plantings for the gardens. Lovely video.💖
Hello Miss Stacy 😊
I'm excited for spring to get here. Michigan's cold cold cold...
I'm really excited to get my garden started. I'm going to be planting
Red Beets, green beans, carrots, pickling cucumbers, butternut squash, zucchini, cauliflower, tomatoes, onions, garlic, colored bell peppers, sweet corn, cabbage.
I can't wait to spend the summer in the garden with grandson🥰🥰
Thank you for all that you and Doug do and share with all of us. You're a couple of beautiful souls.
Stay safe and may God continue to Bless and watch over your homestead ❤️🙏
What a great way to spend the first day of spring. I have spring fever too and I am anxious to get the seeds into the ground. I loved the idea of using an album for holding seeds.
"Love your shows, I like the easy natural methods in the garden to. I've been learning about the edible flowers dandelions. The yard will have alot more color this year.🌻🌱
I am moving back to England from Missouri this year. I am looking forward to growing plenty of brassicas. I have struggled with them here and we eat a lot of them. In the meantime I am enjoying getting my garden ready for the next people who move in to enjoy.
Great video! What are we trying new this year? Growing a garden in KY! Moved here from the west and this is very different! Also using the vertical gardening with gorgeous raised beds that my husband is making out of cement, cinder blocks, lined with weed barrier slit a bit for drainage. Trellis all throughout the 2 4'x15' and one center box that's 3'x15', boxes are filled with rotting wood from our property, lined with cardboard to help level things out and topped with our own compost that we started last year! TONS of natural flowers here @ the foot of the Appalachian range and I will be putting many more! Putting in bee hive near the garden and getting ready to set the swarm traps! Other than that we aren't doing a thing!
Love the idea about the tomato slices in pots. I take all my seeds for the following year that I will plant and freeze them. they come up evertime. I'm a quilter and when Spring comes I'm ready to plant too.
have you ever eaten the leaves of a bell pepper plant?
Hello Dawn
How are you doing today
I really starting to feel like you and Doug are family. My first year gardening and of course I've been winter gardening in homemade greenhouse. Always have to do things the hard way it seems. Pots pots pots! Having trouble with green peppers and chives. Slow growing for everything it seems. Prob the weather. I'm in Ks. My cat ate the kale and the cabbage! grrr lol You both are a Godsend. I drink Haymaker every day. Use Ghee daily. Making ACV-first batch. Shampoo/conditioner and deodorant. Seems I'm changing everything for the better and am praying for a place in the country so raised beds and chickens can be added. God bless you and Doug!!
Something new I did this year for different raised beds was since wood is so expensive I saw a RUclips channel where they wrapped a cardboard box with chicken wire. Filled them up little wood some leaves compost dirt on top and just line them up. It's an excellent way to plant and it works great.
Seeds + dirt + water + sunshine = happiness 🌻
Started seed a few weeks ago for 5 families. Lol. I have tons of beautiful plants. Have never started herbs from seeds....That’s this weeks project. Love the tomato seed idea. I’ll be trying that this fall. Good to see ya! Great video. Ordered the book and the 2 companion books. Thanks for all of the tips! Much WV Live and Many Prayers! 💙💛🙏
It's snowing here today. My brassicas are ready to go out this weekend. Fingers crossed the frost cover works. 💚🌞
My grandmother had a glorious garden and she gave me a very thorough tour of it when I was a teenager starting homeschooling and it was a wonderful biology lesson for sure. She even knew the scientific names of her flowers and plants and could tell me all about each variety and how they grew. She had quite the green thumb and had a full greenhouse, citrus trees and a beautiful walking path from her front yard to the back yard. It was a sight to behold. I always wanted to be able to grow things like she could! Now that I have my own garden I think of her often. 🥰 I am planting both a grapefruit and lemon tree in her honor this year. She grew so much in a small suburban area! It was quite impressive. She wasn’t big on growing vegetables. She liked flowers and trees best. I think it brought her a lot of joy.
You can feed marigolds to your chickens, they love them and it makes their yolks very sunny!
I have tiny tomato, broccoli, cauliflower and basil plants growing in my greenhouse. Love to garden!
I want to plant all the things! I have all the seeds! But I also have all the rocks and deer and no raised beds or fences yet. Time to get creative! 🪴🍅🌶🥒🥕🌽🥬🍠
exited to see some summer gains! living closer to nature has really been refreshing for me and what i really needed, thank you for the videos.
Looking forward to your gardening/foraging book..
Hello WTT
How are you doing today
Last year our "new to us" veggie was a cherry tomato that was chocolate color! Hubby loved it, I though it was weird but ate it anyway. This year for the first time (don't know why never did before) we are doing pole beans. They are already going nuts! Will be moving them to the garden next to the fence and just let them cover it. Thanks for your videos! Love your greenhouse.
Planted 2 different types of small tomatoes - yellow and orange inside and started some lavender.
I'm itching to put some flowers in the ground. I sprinkled Calendula seeds in a pot over the winter and I actually have my first flower. Take care.
I love Calendulas! Mine are popping up as well!
I'm so excited to start my seeds soon.. been a long long winter. Garden time baby !!!
Great ideas. I like the crawl space too.
Thanks,Stacy, for adding this video! Love the tomato seeding idea❤️ trying echinacea and cucumber trellises this year. Can’t wait! Please add more tips…we’ll be watching.
I love your idea on how to organize your seed packets. I will definitely be implementing that.
Another great video guys! Spring is in the air! Can't wait! Josh #stoneyridgefarmer
Stacy is a Natural born Teacher. Simple and bite size for the Newbies
Hello UNoffendable
How are you doing today
We love your (D & S) wisdom
Love your videos!
Our ground is still frozen zone 4a-4b, but I will be planting things in pots very soon maybe today, and keeping them inside for a while. I already purchsed soils and seeds a month ago, spring fever :) !
Our last frost date is May 15th. Flowers, veggies, and fruits will be growing here very soon. Need to get to the $ store for some more gardening supplies!
Hello Virginia
How are you doing today
Stacy I love your videos! I'm growing blue popcorn for the first time and I'm also setting up raised beds and a food forest on our new off grid (with solar) homestead. I started hundreds of kale, oh well guess I will give them to everyone I know. :)
Perfect way to organize seeds!!!👍👍👍
Love your gardening videos. Trying to grow sweet potato slips this year. Love watching the guineas and turkeys. Mollie sure is a cutie too!❤
