This is phenominal! I never knew some plants would put on a second flush the way your cauliflower has done - makes me want to re-think pulling plants out of the garden sometimes! And regarding "a messy/weedy garden" - By definition, weeds are plants you DON'T want. It looks like whether planted by you or Mother Nature (or a combination of both), your garden spaces are full of LIFE and are not weeds by any means. What an exciting early garden tour! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!
Gardens are like houses. Either it's a 'show home' where you can feel like you're the mess in making it untidy, or it's a place you feel comfortable in. I think your garden is welcoming everyone in, including all the wildlife.
Oh my goodness. Those same people who criticize how your garden looks are the same ones who live in HOAs with perfectly manicured yards with only ornamental flowers and have zero idea what pollinators need and provide. Your garden looks beautiful and is providing buckets of useable food for your family! PS, I'm in Indiana and I am so jealous of your growing and thriving garden. I'm just getting to the point where brassicas can go out safely. Lol
It's been a warm winter here!!!
I'm glad that you made yourself a food source for pollinators
Salivating at that curly kale, it's my favorite. So sweet!
First time watcher here, hoping to buy some land and get our own little farm going.
Regarding your "weeds", the way I see it, it's your farm, do what you want. Like you said, let the comments and finger wagglers roll off your back. Everyone is always gonna have their own opinions about how your farm should look. As long as your garden produces so bet it.
Love garden tours! Amazing to see the different of what is growing from 7a to 5b!
thank you fro sharing your garden, cant wait for the weekly tours whenever they come 🤗😍🥰
I always let chickweed grow! My favorite thing to do with it: put it in a blender with apple cider vinegar, strain and add a couple TBSP to bath water. Relieves itchy skin!! So very helpful in the summer with bug bites and everything else that makes me itch!
Wonderful thank you!!! 🤩
Zone 5a here.... nothing to tour yet, lol! Everything is still inside! I will post a tour as well once everything makes its way outside 😊😊
Same!
@@cathyscreationandvlog4224 I'm itching to get my plants in the ground!
In case I don't see it feel free to link me when you get your tour up!! ♥
@@SageandStoneHomestead will do! ❤
@@Daisymaysvlogs I did put cabbage and lettuce outside the other day. I'm so ready for tomatoes and fresh basil 😍
Watching your garden tour is so inspiring! Your garden's look fabulous!! I love your idea for the greenhouse and the layout looks great. Awesome statement you made, some people see a mess, but I see beauty. 🌾🌱🥀Heather, your homestead is BEAUTIFUL!! I love watching all your video's.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️
Isn't it cool that when something goes "wrong" something cool can happen from that? Very exciting!
Yes!!
Super inspired and excited over this year’s garden. I do enjoy your garden tours. Very inspiring. Thank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you! You too!
I just want to say....I love your garden. It reminds me of mine.😂 I let the dead Nettle go because I use it for herbal remedies as well as many other considered "weeds". Most people try to keep all those things killed off. But they don't realize those are so beneficial for the bees in the early spring AND THEY ARE MISSING THE BENEFITS FOR HUMANS. So sad. But girl you do you it's your garden and I love it❤
What herbal remedies do you make with it? I'm just in the beginning stages of learning more about herbalism!
Regarding the wild herbs that grow, I recently had a doe rabbit who had what appeared to be a uterine infection. She went off all pelleted feed and water and was going downhill. The only thing she would eat were greens. I gave her purple dead nettle, dandelions, fresh thyme, and fresh oregano. Within a week, she was well on her way to recovery and the infection cleared. I also gave her a clove of garlic that she would eat small amounts from daily. It was pretty amazing.
Amazing!! Great job!!!
Raised beds in the greenhouse will be amazing. But lots of work to get it started...!! TY! Love the gardens and abundance.
Yes we have started putting beds together and planning a barn cleanout/soil purchase
I love the garden tours. Confession: it always lets me know about what time I should be doing what in 7a lol. I just never know and always over think it.
Overthinking is easy sometimes!! You got this!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Thanks Heather!
♥♥♥
Your garden is lovely! It has character and is very interesting! Don’t let the TURKEYS get to you! Ignore them! I wish my garden was as good as yours! Yes! Keep the purple dead nettle! Very beneficial!! This is my first time visiting your site and I’m looking forward to more videos from you! You explain everything so clearly I’m learning new information about plants. Keep up the good work and I will be back!!! 🍓🍅🍆🥒🌶🥕🧅🧄🥔🥬
Welcome to the channel!! ❤️
Very nice start to your garden season.
Good morning garden fam!
Morning!! ♥
That was amazing Heather🎊 Thank you for the tour❣💯 It's awesome hearing the babies yelling for you 💞
As always perfect vlog 😻😽
They needed their morning Milk pronto! I also have a few mini lamancha that I just weaned that were making their noises too haha
I’m not jealous I’m not jealous I’m not jealous !!! Oh my gosh your garden looks amazing!!
May the volunteers be plentiful and garden productive for you this season too!! ♥♥
Zone 7b here in VA! Our last frost date is the 15th but the more experienced locals say to wait til May 1! I may be a rebel and put it my starts this weekend! Love all your lettuce! There’s nothing quite like fresh green salad!
I have a lot of purple dead nettle and so many dandelions. The big bumbles are enjoying them.
YES those have been my favorite to see buzzing around! ♥
The dollar twenty five tree has pots that would work great for those transplant tomato's. I was always taught to break the asparagus off at the crown as it is more like a pruning and encourages new growth.
Thanks for the tip!! ♥
Thank you Heather!! Garden tour season has started ❤️❤️
Indeed!! A full month earlier than last season!
Such an amazing garden tour, thank you Heather! Loved seeing all the spaces and plants starting their journey. Some I remember watching you sow and plant, so it's very cool to see their progress even this far. The container peach trees in your greenhouse, I remember you putting them in and they were just like twigs haha. The blooms and baby peaches were gorgeous, and now they have all that lush foliage - can't wait to see the fruits develop and y'all get to eat some! I think your growing spaces are fabulous. Super excited to see the transformation of the greenhouse to raised beds, I know that will be glorious for you. 💚💚💚
The greenhouse transformation is going to be so epic. I've thought about making the lane raised beds too but that is a lot as well, 100 feet!!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead nothing wrong with dreaming big and future goals!
I wish I lived in a zone where herbs were perennial. ❤❤❤
None will come back? Not even oregano?
@@SageandStoneHomestead I live in zone 4 and I have never had anything come back. I plan on putting them in pots this year and bringing in for the winter.
Sounds like a plan!!
Walking onions are my favorite. Hands down the simplest onion to peel. When harvested after flower stock shoots ( the leaves die back for me mid summer and that is prime time in my view) cure like other onion for week or 2. the flower stock is a woody stem and acts like a pull tab to peel them as it runs down the side.
Awesome thanks for the tips! I am so excited to have them growing!!
So exciting to get into the alive part of the year again!
Yes!!!
I simply love, love your gardens! Expecting my first crop of asparagus here this Spring…I’m looking for elephant garlic, we have a garlic festival every Fall and we bought a good amount and planted it last Fall as well.
I can’t get over how early you can get such an amazing amount of fresh food Heather! Love your garden updates, so motivating to me!
I was so looking forward to this! I’m having a kitchen day here on my farm so this is the perfect thing to watch while I’m cooking! I love love love your garden, it looks beautiful you’re keeping me sane while we are just going into our spring. Here in Northern Canada spring has come early for us. I love your idea putting the cedar around the pine on your raised beds I was thinking of doing the same with mine! I’m looking forward to garden tours weekly! Yaaayy 🎉
I'm having somewhat of a kitchen day here today too!!! :) Making cheese.
@@SageandStoneHomestead yummm 😋 fresh cheese is the best! I’m still waiting on my Nubian girl to kid and I’m dreaming of fresh milk, cheese and all the things! I hope you’re enjoying your kitchen time! 🥰
A few words “ key lime pie “ yum 🤍
Yessss
Garden tour season woop woop
I noticed this tour went up a full month earlier than last year's tour!! Must have been eager to get the garden in this year haha
I have dozens of volunteer tomatoes popping up at compost pile. I will transplant a few near my pond. The critters may go there for fruit and leave my garden alone. I love your garden tours, thanks for taking me along I have same troubles with my pelvis, result of a car accident in the 80's. Chiropractor helps. He tells me to stretch before all the gardening work. Hope you are able to find long term relief
My back is getting better every day! Thank you ❤️
I have some bunching onions and chives, and I put them in my chicken salad or tuna salad. They’re so good.
Thank you for your content.
New subscriber.
Your delivery is so casual and positive and inspiring. Im newer to this, but your channel has helped tremendously.
❤
I'm so glad! Welcome to the channel!
hi there Laura I am in TN 7a the you so much God bless
A lot of times during the growing season if my garden plants have blooms on them, I'll wait before cutting the grass because I want the wildflowers and grass that's blooming to attract the pollinators to MY plants. Last year using this method it did amazing in my garden and helped to produce so much groceries for our little family with enough to share with others.
Sure am glad I spotted those baby tomato seedlings....I could have missed my Gold Star for today.
Using refuse hay as mulch is BRILLIANT Heather! Thank you for sharing that!!!
Wow! Awesome garden! Loved it. ❤❤❤
So many things growing!! I have an asparagus order coming next week and it's a loooot haha. I'm really hoping to freeze some! Apparently, you can blanch and freeze just like green beans. We eat so much asparagus and I'm really looking forward to the day we can harvest! I'm also really looking forward to tasting the difference!
On another note, my goats left this morning. I have peace about it because I know they are going to a good home.
Hugs. What a hard day but yes I can see how it could be bittersweet given the circumstances. You did good by them ♥♥
@@SageandStoneHomestead Thank you so much!
The red dead nettle is also really good for rabbits! Mine love it!
Yes indeed!!
Pay them no attention! You are doing a fine job!
Thank you ! ❤️
Back at it💚💚💚💚
Garden is looking great!!
I grew golden kelway last year - it grew a good sized plant and bloomed all summer, unlike the German chamomile (which I also have growing elsewhere)! It's definitely coming back beautifully this year (z 6b), and even made a few volunteer babies near by.
Fun stuff! I read it's awesome to make a natural yellow dye with
Heather, thank you for saying something about DE bc I have been having a problem with ants in my garden and compost, and I didn't know how to get rid of them without harming my kids or animals. Added DE to both, and hopefully, that will help. Now, to get rid of the ants that are invading my house. 😂
It works for me!! Good luck!!
My poor cilantro is already bolting here in zone 8b. I’m so disappointed it did amazing February and march but I guess it’s over…😢 I can’t wait to have a bigger place and to grow asparagus!
I have seen slow-bolt varieties of cilantro. We both need to look into that!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead yes! For sure!
I think death nettle is a very cool unique plant especially and it stays so short I really could care less to get rid of it and many other things.
Friend, your garden is glorious and quite productive. My garden is chaos! If they speak negatively about your garden aesthetic, they would faint if they saw my space right now! I’m glad you don’t let it sway you one way or the other! Keep growing and blessings! 💜🙏🏽
I'm sure you've got plenty of things in there benefiting the local pollinators too. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and how wonderful it is to see beauty where others see chaos. ❤️❤️❤️
Another great video, Heather! Thank you so much for sharing this education and your expertise. I’m eagerly awaiting my Nubian’s freshen…lol more milk! I love that this is a longer video…I got a glass of tea and enjoyed every minute of the video.
I was worried about the length, but I'm so glad y'all are here for it!! ♥
I have to get my Kale in the garden. We like it baked with olive oil and Cajun seasoning.
Yum what a great idea !!
Yum!!!
So excited to start following you! I live somewhat close to you and I bumped into your husband at the amish store and your husband told me about your channel. I’ll be messaging you soon and definitely following 😁
I love your garden! People complaining its too messy??? Who cares.
Sometimes yes!!
It’s all beautiful. I love your videos. I love your guardian. I have been so busy with my small garden. I do container gardening. I have no grass at all so I do everything and Big big big containers. I was gifted some planter containers that hold trees like massive trees so they gave me about 10 and they’re probably about, 30 inches wide and they’re pretty deep so that’s what I grow in and I’ve been really busy this time of year. I do have one wooden bed that’s kind of high and I need to get another one or two maybe smaller I’m learning so much because when I first started gardening, I had a I don’t know what they call it. I can garden with little bit of everything, but I’ve learned that a lot of veggies like their own planters because they don’t like their roots disturbed ,I’ve gotten pretty good but I do a lot for y’all. I just some broccoli and I put it on my baked potato today. I’ve done so good with carrots. I got carrots. Finally I had about three carrots beds and I’m still got one and a half. I’ve been giving them to family friends I mean, we just can’t keep up and I’ve already succession planting started on more carrot 🥕
Do you fertilize the garlic and the onions? If so, tell me what you do. ???
We've used bone meal and a balanced fertilizer to feed onions and garlic!
Wow!!! What a difference just a few days can make!!! Thanks so for sharing!! Stay safe!!🙏❤
Especially with a good bit of rain!!
What's a weed? Just a plant growing where you don't want it. I love that you are leaving things. Grow Wild! Better for all of us
Agreed!!
❤❤❤❤
I have had my loaded/planted greenstalk planter fall over twice. It just shifted and it is hard to keep it level on my ground. But I have it planted again this year and have not put top tier on it yet. Love the greenstalk.
OH NO I've worried about the ones in the greenhouse leaning. I'll have to watch for that!
Watching this a week late. Narrator: “It was not, in fact, the last frost of the year.”
RIGHT. UGH LOL
Very informative! Thank you
My pleasure!
Enjoy steamed broccoli leaves~ really tasty and nutritious!
Thanks for the tip! We have some broccoli to harvest soon but not a lot. That will help the flavor and nutrients go further! ♥
Hi Heather! Enjoyed the garden tour today! You may already have something like this but if not, I have this app called "picture this" that identifies plants. I live on 20 acres and so it has really helped me figure out what all we have growing here. Maybe this could help identify what type of Elderberry you have. It comes with a 7 day free trial.
I have the seek app and it's good for identification of the plant in general but not the specific variety. Like it would identify a tomato but couldn't tell me if its a beefsteak or something else.
I ❤ your beautiful garden
Thank you!! ♥
I have a bushel or whatever of dill growing well
Messy Garden? I use "weeds" to capture the nutrients that would otherwise wash away. A weed free garden only works for a place with low rainfall and little natural leaching.
Plus, like you said, many "weeds" are edible for humans and some livestock (such as hens)
Yes chickens love these "weeds"! :)
Heather have you eaten the brussel sprout pods? I wonder if they are good like radish pods? If so you’re going to be swimming in them soon. 😊
I believe I read that broccoli seeds are toxic but maybe not until they are mature, I'd have to check on Brussels sprouts!!
I would love to know if you have a certain recipe that your children like when using cabbage? I'm growing cabbage for the first time here in zone 5 Iowa,excited to see the outcome and hoping to at least get one good head of cabbage.
They like it fried in butter and served with salt and they also like Sour Kraut!
Wow you will have a big beautiful lush garden real soon !! I love garden season i hope when we find a place soon even if we get a apartment i hope for a patio or deck to do a catainor garden but i am hoping we can find a house to rent in our budget. The hotel we are staying at we pay $ 650.00 a week and we been here since December. It's taking most of my husbands paycheck and we bearly get by with food and went from 2 cell phones to one to help. My mortgage was much less than the price of this place. Your blackberry bush is very large and i can't imagine how many berries you will get. We had a raspberries at my house but it was already there when we bought the house and it had thorns. Can you transplant some of those little Blackberrys that you mow ? I'll take some..lol i wish i liked more vegetables my parents didn't give us many as children we only had some can corn, green beans, peas and carrots. I didn't have broccoli and eggplant until i was a teenager and ate it outside the home. My parents would eat liver and onions and tryed giving that to us as kids and i remember it being horrible and we tryed beets once or twice as a child and didn't like it. I love cabbage and cucumbers, tomatoes. I never had anyother veggie. I hate that people say your garden is messy screw them. I didn't pull out weeds weekly i just didn't have the time i made the flowers i planted in the front of my house look good and weeded that when i saw some pop up and i mulched so the front of my house was easy. I even had put up a few little bird houses in the front of my house and only had like one bird live in it. I never had home grow asparagus i will have to try some !! You always give me so much info and i am so greatful ❤❤
Are you still in Rhode Island?! That's so expensive!
Heather, what are those things beside your zinnias? The things that look like squashes with holes in. I've never seen them before 😮
Birdhouse gourds! We grew those last season! :)
Wow, they're cool 👌
I should be gardening here on Vancouver Island but we are moving and I dont think Ill be doing much gardening this year :(
Hugs. That's hard ❤️❤️
I ordered some elephant garlic and it was not viable when it got here 😭
Sad! I'm so sorry. Email me I might have more. Sageandstonehomestead@gmail.com I know I have corms at least.
Do you buy clean hay for your goats/garden? Or just buy what you have access to and not worry about it?
We buy from local Amish farms who CLAIM to not spray. So far so good.
@@SageandStoneHomestead thanks!
What do you use to get your broccoli to head?
It really is a matter of timing for us with planting them out before it gets too hot. We don't always get this right but this year it did work out!
Are there other gardening books you like? Are there any good begginer ones you recommend?
Yes!! Roots and refuge has an amazing book for beginning gardeners. The name escapes me at the moment but I talked about that one and a few others in this video here: ruclips.net/video/1d-k4DGuDKo/видео.html
This one: www.amazon.com/First-time-Gardener-Vegetables-encouragement-First-Time/dp/0760368724/ref=asc_df_0760368724/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459485445542&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16180998960128925324&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9057934&hvtargid=pla-924027669811&psc=1&mcid=eeeacada083238c990b1c61985276a46&gclid=CjwKCAjw5v2wBhBrEiwAXDDoJbtk6nfKRO4fD-u8sfQO_q2jPSV6_4EfD3BEzQ7l-LQMBVtoE8MmBxoCrpQQAvD_BwE
Thank you so much!
The camera sucks
Would you be interested in funding a new one?
