You're going to think I'm crazy...but put a beehive out there. They will increase your yields and after the first year give you real honey that never spoils as long as it covered.
@Patmac you might want to consider getting a misting hose or running some PVC pipe with strategically placed holes to help with your watering situation. The hoses are great because they’re fairly easy to move where you need them. But either way it can save you tons of time and effort just by turning on a valve instead of other methods.
I never knew that about corn. All the garden corn I have seen has been miserable little stalks. And then you go see a field that's 8' tall stalks. Good info
I tried corn on hay bails, this year, because of flooding. The corn fell over. Beans, cucumber did well. Squash not so good. Got Tomatoes out there now...sprouting some bell peppers. It will keep you busy.
Man I can grow jalapenos in Wake Forest like no ones biz , but, thats it, if it ever had to be a survival garden, id need to survive flame bowels as well! lol
If you can't grow plants in the ground try growing in 5 gal buckets. Just drill about 6-7 3/4" holes in the bottom and fill with garden soil. Corn is about the only thing I haven't tried in buckets, and it all works for me. I love just outside Fayetteville, and the sandy ground can be challenging. Had to add lots of compost to and lime to my soil. Also you can get a soil test through your local ag-extention to help with determining what your soil needs.
In-season cherry tomatoes are so easy to grow and absolutely delicious. You know what's a damn tasty meal? Tortellini with chopped up bacon, cherry tomatoes, basil, and olive oil.
Central Oklahoma and everyone’s gardens in our area sucks . We usually have good luck but this year is crazy . First time ever rats have destroyed our tomatoes and rabbits got in the okra . Never had these issues before .
My uncle is a former SF guy and Ranger. He's got a garden just like yours. What he does is collect rain water in rain barrels and when he fills them up (when we're blessed with excess rain), he uses plastic bottles and stores them in the basement. Pat, you should seriously think about investing in some of these large barrels if you haven't done so already. Cheers, brother.
I moved into my new house late in the season, but there were rose bushes ready and *demanding* my care on the property. So, this year is just maintenance, planning, and preparation between tending the roses, rehabilitating a little yellow one, and watching the surprising population of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds.
We tried peas for the first time this year too. Came up done well for a couple weeks then vaporised in the NC sun. May you have better luck. Buffs are the best and chickens we’ve raised so far.
Pat, try running a soaker hose underneath a bed of mulch (to prevent evaporation). I turn mine on before I go to bed and turn off in the morning. You'll use way less water....Your beans will thank you🤘
Add a hide end timer to it and you don't have to remember to turn it off and on. It's dry where I live so nothing gets planted without irrigation on a timer.
Should expect corn late July for really good ears, maybe try 6-8 stalks in a row and on the actual ground. Corn will come best at different times depending on your zone and when you plant!
PatMac. Where did you get the material for your raised bed. Looks extremely sturdy. I live in amongst pines. Been trying to grow a garden. Not much luck. Looks like I should go raised bed.
You'll need some soil amendments. Pines actively poison the undergrowth. I want to say by making soil acidic. Do a soil test to find out. Often you can get local agriculture extensions to do it for free. The home tests and the mail away aren't expensive. You can also shift to plants that love your type of soil. I have heavy clay. Zucchini no problem but carrots have to go in pots.
NavyEODguy You can get raised beds from Northern Tool or Vego Garden. Lay uncolored cardboard down (like for appliances), then straw, then garden soil that won't compact as much. Give it a couple months or so to settle and then plant.
There's a process called hardening off. Let the sprouts spend some time outside before full transfer. You bring them in during bad weather (too cold/hot, high winds,etc). Patmac is right, living things need to overcome adversity to thrive. Just introduce it in achievable increments.
I think it could help him , if he had a neighbor contesting his garden or animals. He could show that his property was certified in court and it might carry some weight in that respect. Might also keep others from building closely to his property. I don’t know. Just thinking out loud is all.
He had another video where he described it, it was originally because his neighborhood HOA tried to prevent him from putting up bird feeders, among other stuff. The habitat allowed him to overrule them
Thank you for your service. Please ask God to forgive you of your sins, like all who have had to as well. God will apply the sacrifice of his son’s blood to your sin and will adopt you into his family giving you an eternal inheritance. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin. God’s justice will be dispensed some day. Only by believing on the Son can a person receive pardon. It’s a win win Sir. Please join the family as I would enjoy meeting you there someday.

I second that....👍Beekeeper in Ohio.
@@suntzu5836 I don't have a beehive, but I always plant a few bright colored flowers in my garden to attract pollinators.
Makes total sense

I really love Pat's way of playing the game against the HOA Karen's so he can have chickens and his mini farm.

Cool idea w the beans growing up the run Pat!
We love our little egg makers😁
Pat Mac growing corn; Sherk is filling sandbags. Both essentials.

Love these videos brother. I’d love to see some more details on your processes and things you’ve tried that worked and didn’t!
I would love to see a video on how you store and preserve your produce. The cucumbers are a no brainier but the others are of interest.
Great work on that garden pat. Keep it going brother

Jack of all trades🤘🏻make it habitual
Nice homestead. Fencing is tight. ✌
I have a 100 year old black cherry tree on my property. I love it. Loaded and so big you can’t even get the top 7/8 of the fruit
Put Vermiculite in your soil, it holds water, you will use less. I live in the Nevada desert, water is always a concern. 👍
Check to see but that might be an asbestos byproduct.
Pat Mac 🤘🏽. Moringa oleifera tree of life! Get some of that super duper food drought tolerant. Legit🎸. Make it habitual.
The quintessential renaissance man. Well done sir.
We have a bumper crop of squash this year. Whatever is good for you eating squash I have superpowers with right now.
Who dares, Wins! If you don’t try to grow anything, you will have nothing. Nice garden, Pat!
Every men wants to live like Pat does, and to have his same energy.
The corn patch looks awesome.

Well Okra is about all I've got left thanks to the heat and no rain! I feel your pain!
Got a Q for you. Are you hobby gardening and chicken keeping pot are you looking to become food self sufficient?
Any plans on meat chickens or pigs?
We tried peas for the first time this year too. Came up done well for a couple weeks then vaporised in the NC sun. May you have better luck. Buffs are the best and chickens we’ve raised so far.
Every time I see you I respect your work more 👍👍
A weeks worth of salad ingredients , nice :)

@@mw7145 Aw....You went all high tech on me now....Point taken ... If you had to leave for a week or two (like Pat might) that WOULD be the setup😎
Pat Mac, American Role Model…keep growing brother.

Another great example of cool dude stuff
Some good cover crops or straw not hay can protect the soil from the sun and help retain water
Prunus serotina. Probably grow native all around NC. Nice!
August in one week... 🐌🌱
Is there anything the man cannot do? Awesome stuff, as usual.
Dude. We are getting the same as you.
Ah, black cherries, just like being back in Deutschland.
Call me crazy I'm digging the garden updates.
Do you have a rain collection system?
Your garden is awesome 👌
Thanks for sharing

Hey Mac, Grow some Apple trees, those things never die
We had such a late spring up here in MN. My garden looks like crap. Still trying though!
Got Squash for days my self!
do you feed your chickens table scraps?they love it no matter the meat substance they will eat it
Well done sir. How do you control pests / infestation?
Is that an orchard back of the fence?
Any problems with critters eating your produce?
I certified my backyard in Las Vegas as a wildlife habitat
Where are you getting the majority of your seeds from Pat?
PatMac. Where did you get the material for your raised bed. Looks extremely sturdy. I live in amongst pines. Been trying to grow a garden. Not much luck. Looks like I should go raised bed.

Tried to help, but my comment was deleted, apparently. Sorry.
Basic Dude Stuff!
I've tried to start veggies inside and they always sprout but as soon as I move them outside they all die.
And how do you store it after harvest?
There's a process called hardening off. Let the sprouts spend some time outside before full transfer. You bring them in during bad weather (too cold/hot, high winds,etc). Patmac is right, living things need to overcome adversity to thrive. Just introduce it in achievable increments.

What does the wildlife habitat buy you? Just curious if it’s a tax exemption?
