It's amazing how much food you can grow on a balcony. Have you seen any of the early videos by Her86m2? She grew more food than I thought possible on a small apartment balcony. Definitely worth a look/see.😊
I love that your garden beds have rock borders. We have a million rocks from our house excavation to use. 😂 We have to do no-till because our ground is SO rocky, and build up because it's impossible to use a shovel.
We get Convolvulus over here in thr UK. What I find is that you have to get the whole plant (root and all) out because pulling it out without the root snaps the stem which ultimately leads to further propagation of it however if you get it out whilst it's still very young you can save yourself alot of work. If it gets away from you it can wrap itself aroun the stems of beloved plants which can lead to the temptation to pull it off, whatever you do don't pull it as it can strangle your beloved plants you have to uprooted it from thr base so it will eventually die off from around thr neck of your plants which saves you having to unravel it from your plants.
I love me some eggplant too!! It is definitely on my list of summer vegetables this year! Your vegetable garden is so charming and I can see alot of work goes into it! Thanks for sharing it with us.
We are soooo envious of your garden. Running an orchard is full time and just don't get the time to create such a beautiful growth. Maybe one day, until then we will check in on yours from time to time.
Oh my gosh, you live in such a beautiful place. Our son and daughter-in-law just moved back home (to Custer, SD) from Mazama, WA --- so beautiful! We have great friends who live in Chelan, and we love to visit there! Thanks for showcasing your garden and all the stunning views!
yummy idea for all the coriander seed you are about to have. Chop celery, add coriander seed, make a sweet fridge pickle brine, 50% water, 50 % ACV, dash of maple syrup, bit of salt, and put it in the fridge for a week or two. SO GOOD on chop salads!
What does ACV stand for? I love sweet pickles. I have a few pickle plants in the garden this year and a bunch of coriander seeds that I mistakenly ordered in bulk last summer that need to be used. Thanks for sharing your recipe😊.
We’ve found success with using cattle panels & t-posts for trellising. It’s really sturdy (even in tropical storm winds if you’ve used enough t-posts). It’s great if you need to use supports/slings for heavier fruit like small watermelon. Plus, it’s easier for pollinators to reach, airflow, and dealing with pests.
Your garden looks great! We are at the end of our summer season. Here in central Texas it's over 100 and no rain so we rest the garden and ourselves July & August. We will plant our fall garden in September and it will last all the way through December. Always good to see yawl.
We had an over abundance of Zucchini and I was not about to get rid of any so I used some to make pickles. I want be using cucumbers anymore. I will use Zucchini. It was a way to get more out of one vegetable. And now we can use the row we were growing cucumbers for something else now. 😊
I'm just down the way from you in tricities, love seeing your garden! It's nice to find someone that is gardening near me. Good luck with those weeds, perennial weeds are a beast!
I had to re-plant my pickling cucumbers 4 times (i only have space for 2 plants, small garden) and the snails just attacked them over and over. It was a real battle, but I won. I was afraid I was too late with my latest batch, but I've got a healthy amount of cucumbers growing at the moment.
Can you do a video or give any tips on pickling the little pickles? In particular, what do you do if you're only harvesting a handful a day? Do you immediately pickle them to keep their crunch. Or wait until you have a batch. I only have a little garden. This drove me mad last year. I actually have jars with barely any pickles in them because I just need to preserve them straight away. But it felt like such a lot of work. I'm still very grateful for them. They're so delicious.
Morning Glory is my nemesis as well. When growing vertically, I've used old pantyhose to support my squash or melons when they get heavy on the vine. I've heard of people using bras too but... 🤣 Whatever suits you. Cheers from Eastern Washington!
Ive been having great success using straw as a mulch layer on top on my beds, it really helps keep all the moisture in, you might consider trying it out on a few beds to see how you like it. I know you live in a very hot, dry area, and have to water a lot, so you might like this. You honestly don’t need that much, either, so you don’t have to go full Ruth Stout to get good results :)
Straw is great unless you have high winds, and then it all just blows away. For my garden straight compost or wood chips are the only mulches that will stay in place, everything else.blows away.
The garden is beautiful! I am curious about the size of your farm and how you manage to make space for everything; I thought I remembered you saying it was just 2 acres. How are you able to maintain a herd of sheep, a dairy cow, chickens, and multiple gardens? I hope this question doesn’t sound critical. I’m genuinely curious as we’ve been discussing moving to a larger property and I’m wondering how much we actually need. We have 1.5 acres now but I can imagine supporting large livestock AND having a market garden here. How do you do it?
Your garden is beautiful - such an inspiration. You said you do a no-til garden - how do you decide that? I’m just curious how you know if you should til the soil or if topping it is better…versus if you should do raised beds? I’m so confused by the different methods and how to know what’s best for your space. If you could touch on that I’d love to learn more about it!! Thank you!! I’m in awe of all you do to grow such beautiful produce and make such gorgeous creations in your kitchen!! 😊❤️
Raised beds are better for small spaces. Raised beds are also best if you don't want to deal with perennials weeds like she is dealing with. However they get very expensive if you want to do them on a large scale. You have to look at your garden and decide why you are gardening, is it to save money, is it to grow organic food, is it to have food security, is it to always have fresh snackable produce?(Etc) there are many methods to growing food but if you know why you are growing food it will be easier to pick a gardening method that works for you and your space.
I bought this squash tunnel and it is ok for small melons and squash but not good for bigger squashes. It totally collapses under the weight … your garden is beautiful ❤
I'm Polish and we actually use poison ivy as a medicinal herb. It's great for hair loss (rub on your head if juiced) or just taking as a shot in the morning as a juice! Don't let those healing proporties go to waste!
She has said in older videos that she calls it a market garden because the plants are in market rows for higher production for food storage vs her potager/kitchen garden which is more relaxed and a mixture of flowers herbs and veg.

Love from our homestead across the ocean in Africa 🇲🇦 You guys are so inspiring and bring smiles to our faces in Morocco ❤ Keep up the good work!
Wow! Your garden is beautiful 😍 I grow in containers on my balcony with very limited space, can’t wait for a huge garden like yours one day! 🌱😊

You might think about getting some runner ducks. They run through the garden not hurting the plants but pick off all the worms and bugs.
Great idea! I’ll be looking into those.

Seeing a full garden makes my heart sing! Those cabbages! Thanks for sharing!
I never realized how therapeutic gardening can be. It's so relaxing and rewarding.
It would have been great to watch all of the changes you two made to the yard and home over the last 1.5 year.
I recall your video about those plans.
Hello to you
I love that you’re always trying something new in the garden!
I check my squash and zucchini everyday ans it's like hunting for Easter eggs. I am all up in that plant. I never have trellised mine. 😊
Your garden looks great! We are at the end of our summer season. Here in central Texas it's over 100 and no rain so we rest the garden and ourselves July & August. We will plant our fall garden in September and it will last all the way through December. Always good to see yawl.

Really enjoy watching your intentional gardening with its rows and structural supports. Functional and beautiful to the eye. Happy 4th!
So exciting that your bedroom renovations are done! It would be fun to see before and after pictures. 😊
Hello from Florida
Lovely garden, thanks for showing us around! I love all the trellising options, specifically the tomatoes. Could you tell us where to find them?
I'm just down the way from you in tricities, love seeing your garden! It's nice to find someone that is gardening near me. Good luck with those weeds, perennial weeds are a beast!

Hello to you
The vegetable garden is looking amazing! The squash tunnel is such a great idea!
Hello from Florida
This garden is so alive!!
Absolutely beautiful gardens! Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for the tour! Would love to know where you purchased your various trellising systems? They look so sturdy!
So excited to finally see this year garden! Thank you for share
It's a good thing the goat doesn't get itchy from the poison ivy! I'd love to have fresh veggies every day like that!

@@lwjenson that’s a good point, although I’ve had good luck with laying down a layer of loosely woven burlap sheet and staking it down over top.
Gorgeous garden

Have you posted a pickle recipe video? Do you do ferment or water bath? I love crunchy, dill pickles, but have a hard time succeeding.

Hello from Florida
Have you tried spraying Bt on your brassicas as an organic solution to the cabbage worms?

You're probably thinking of stinging nettles (pokrzywa). However, poison ivy (sumak jadowity) is a very dangerous plant for us, humans. Pozdrawiam! 😀
What a beautiful farm! When I hear market garden, I think of veggies, herbs and fruits to sell. Is this your meaning?

@Juliecarns Hello from Florida
Beautiful space. Where did you find your tomato trellises?
Loved the Video! I so much Loved the music in it - Shaye would you Share the Name of the Song / musician with us?
👍
Morning glory is just awful 😣 It grows fast and is relentless. I wouldn’t wish that stuff on my worse enemy
I thought you said you don't make money off you tube 😅
The garden looks beautiful!
