Kevin I’m an accountant so I understand the nerdy garden math. I love it!! So happy Sarah has her herb garden. Please be praying for me as I recently lost my sweet husband of 33 years to ALS. My garden is the therapy that has kept me going the last month. I love watching you guys as you remind me of me and my husband over the years. God bless you.
May God continue to bless you with faith and strength it's so sad when we lose a spouse or partnet God will help them transition into the new life you have. God Bless you but it's part of life someone will be left alone and God will be there for them.
Prayers for you filled with peace, comfort, and joy to return to you as you navigate your new journey and loving on your garden. I've been widowed for almost 19 yrs and raised my son with my gardens and Homestead, who is now 21 with his own family. May God Bless you thru all of your life! ❤️ 🙌 🙏
I have a suggestion for one of your herb beds. Erect 3 posts in a triangle shape so you can put up a shade sail if it gets to hot for herbs such as cilantro, parsley etc. not sure if it'll help because it gets so hot there. You can stash it away when not needed. My husband installed XL old mailboxes in my 3 separate garden areas & painted them pretty colors. I stash things in there (ie small garden tools, twine, scissors) . Each mailbox has its own set of items. It's very convenient to keep things close by.
Looks like you will have room along the fencing between the 2 bigger corner beds to put 1 or 2 of the 2x8 beds. More room for more herbs, LOL!! Nice job and the beds do look very nice. Thanks for sharing. God bless and protect.
Love you and family. Thoroughly enjoy each video. At 83 with increasing macular degeneratio, have started a semi keto diet. After one week with also eating one cup of spinish each day as well as three times a week eating sardeens, I am experiencing a tiny bit of improvement in sight as well as losing some unneeded weight. ove your encoureagement This old gal is blessed with your encouragment to tune into! BLESS YOU AND FAMILY! (PS not necessarily recommending this eye experience to anyone else. Just has helped me. God has made each of us so uniquekly!)\
Hi Sarah and Kevin. What a special video. I swear you guys win the ‘Big Picture Award’ for 2024, if not forever. You know what you want, and you make it happen, even if you have to wait 10 years! I love your herb raised bed. Just look at the growth on your fruit trees. I remember you planting them. Sending blessings and love. ❤
Good morning! It’s nobody business what you do on your homestead, your money your time and YOUR LIFE! Your one of the best couple DOWN TO EARTH! I’m a dedicated to your channel keep up the great work, thanks to you I do raised beds myself TYVM! It’s a experience watching you both!! Until next video! ♥️ Love the Herb Corners! From Connersville Indiana!!
Yeah and who’s business is it how much they money they spend on what they buy! I find it amazing how people apparently feel the need to tell you how to spend your money lol.
I just came across you two a couple of weeks ago, and I am so glad I did. I, also am a Christian, therefore, I seek out fellow Christians when I am looking for information on RUclips. I was seeking some canning information when I found you. I will be watching regularly now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May our Lord continue to richly bless you both.
I've been watching them since I found them during Covid lockdown. Sara & Kevin are so positive and encouraging. I'm not a farmer or homesteader, but I learn so much from them each week. Try to make some time to look at some of their old videos. I know you'll enjoy them.
I did something similar but followed MiGardener method of layering straw/hay about half way up the bed and then topping with soil. The hay acts as a sponge and cuts down on watering needs. Veg roots are fairly shallow and don’t seem need 24 inches of soil.
I love your new beds! "Save Big Money at Menards"!! Lol!! I work at one of their stores in Minnesota! Those sprinklers are so cute!! 😊 Sarah, you're going to love your herb gardens!! Great video!! 💕
Sarah, and Kevin, I have to say I've followed y'all for a while now, and love these garden beds. Over the years we've used wood to make our garden beds. We've used fire (Japanese way known as yakisugi) to preserve our wood before planting. It's been almost 6 years, and some of the beds are starting to show improvement is needed. My husband, and I decided to make the investment. We're slowly purchasing these same metal beds in hopes of having all the materials in the next year or so to replace all the wood. We need to make things easier to work with since were getting older.
We have used large wheeled dollies to move bags of chicken feed, mulch etc. to places we can’t reach with the tractor. Love your garden! We have duplicated most of the ideas! Love and hugs from Maine
I filled a large flower, tree, bush garden with my compost bin that hadn’t been touched for months. I planted some sedums and day lilies and hostas in it as they were all came from a spring time divide. They didn’t do much growing the first year but the following year the garden looked like it established itself and over grew to be divided once again on its 3rd year. It’s still crazy after 9 years
I have been growing medicinal and culinary herbs for over 30 years. Fortunately, they do grow well pretty much everywhere. Congratulations on having an actual herb garden
Beautiful garden. After the hurricane came through here is south central Texas, I need to go back out and re-assess the garden. We were on the dirty side of the eyewall that passed just few miles away, so we got tossed a bit. Looks like the tomatoes need to be tied back up and possibly trimmed. Cages holding the peppers fell over, too. And lots of rain, so the weeds have taken off. Squash is a goner. But no major damage, so we are thankful for that. And power is back on, so I have my water well and AC. May only be in low 90's but with 80-90% humidity, it's like a sauna out there. Still recovering from surgery in June, so it's a little at a time.
Your dedication to fulfilling your wife's dream after 8 years is truly heartwarming, showing your commitment to creating a joyful homestead. Your love and support for her happiness inspire us all. And I am Floating Village Life
I have seen other gardeners plant a variety of plants in each bed, companion planting. They had plants that were thriving so I plan to try that soon or next year at latest.
Garden now looks fantastic! For squash bugs, over at Hollar Homestead they're using Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew. It's organic and apparently it's working really well. Thanks for your video and for sharing your beautiful garden!
I noticed your hay in the background and I would love to see a video about growing your own hay and what all goes into that! Also about what goes into keeping your pastures up for your cattle
I enjoyed watching the ducks or geese running around behind you as you work. I’m glad you can finally do the herb garden. Please tell us how you use them after you harvest each type.
Sara I’m so happy for you. I have dried herbs for winter put up and still more to come 👍. I cook all summer n fall with fresh herbs and my kitchen window box ♥️♥️♥️ Open the window and cut what I want as I’m cooking Kevin… happy spouse happy house 😊
Your garden is looking gorgeous! I love seeing how everything is growing both in the raised beds and in the greenhouse. I was able to plant tomatoes, basil, and other herbs this year, and watching everything grow is one of the greatest joys of my life. Thank you for including us in your garden adventures!
OH MY. you got to the squash - mine and my pumpkins were being attacked horribly. A friend said to put around a couple cinnamon sticks and WOW. I found one bug in a week after that remedy. It WORKED 🙏. Give that a try 🙏🙏.
I picked up some mushroom compost and other organic compost from one of the big box stores and screened them through 1/2" hardware cloth before mixing with peat moss. There were so many sticks it was ridiculous. There were also stones (even a fist sized rock) and some random plastic in one of the bags of mushroom compost. Wasn't thrilled with that. I'll be glad when I'm making enough compost of my own and don't have to rely on the big box guys.
😊 ❤ I am so happy for you, Sarah. You have a great husband who cares what you like ans helps you get it. And, you finally got your REAL herb gardens. So happy for you. ❤ I know your joy on all counts! We just celebrated our 58th wedding anniversary 🎉, and my beloved has regarded me the same. Yes I love foraging and growing medicinal herbs.
Thank you for taking the time to show setting up the irrigation. I know you did it in previous video but I usually don't have time go back and look at an earlier one. It has taken me 5 chunks of time to watch this one on short breaks from the heat as I get things done. I know I can go back and watch the sprinkler installation again but as I watched I was hoping you did a second one before going to the next section of the video (slow learner I guess ). And I have my entire garden set up on micro sprinklers but slightly different system. Love your videos. You two and Rose Red Homestead are the best teachers You Tube. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into these. Would love to see some cattle videos.
I remember when I was very little helping my grandfather fill up raised beds once. His process was a little different like you. He used several different types of soil in Ireland. We’re lucky enough to have that type of Pete which we get from the bogs which we add to our soil we’d also harvest seaweed he’d have all his grandkids going down cutting it off at the right place so it would grow back again dry it out and add it to his mix. He used to take the top soil, Pete, compost, seaweed and couple of handfuls of pea gravel throw it all into an old concrete mixer. Let it turn up for a little bit, adding a cup of water and then pouring it out into a wheelbarrow, and then we would shovel it into the raised beds. Similar but different. I tell you that soil it was able to grow anything.
I hope you have better luck with mushroom compost. I believe it caused us to have fungus issues on some of our plants. Plus mushrooms growing in the pots.
With so much land I am surprised that you didn't fill it half way with that. Regular soil will not decompose like the stuff you bought. The organic soils can occupy the top half. Less cost up front, slower drainage, and less ongoing cost each year. It is possible that maintaining the back side of the beds might be difficult because you can't get to the other side at the fence. The plants will get into the fence. All the best with your herb garden!
Kevin and Sarah you 2 are amazing, I have been a gardener A while, but I continue to learn more and more from your channel all the time. Sarah, I was wondering if you are going to show planting your herbs and your new raised beds and also, How do you prepare? You are herbs for the winter?
Looks great and you will make your money back on herbs. Have you saw those little packs at grocery store prices and they are not fresh. So happy for you
Those corner beds look so cool! I put together a Bunch of raised beds this past spring to fill my big GS high tunnel greenhouse (identical to yours). My beds are a different brand, and they are 8x4’ and 6x3’ in size. A total of 1,040 bolts! Whew! Lol 😆 …took me two weeks. Btw, I finished building my high tunnel this past spring, too…took me two years to build it! But I am just one old lady and I need to rest a lot. I appreciate your videos. I learn so much! Thank you!
Like canning jars, you can figure it in how many uses or how many years until your break even on your product. From there, it's all dollar (not necessarily labor) savings. In that vein, it depends upon what you actually grow and comparative grocery or retail cost; and do you compare to Now $1.25 Store, bulk, or bottled organic product. Because its so late in the year and using a medium price guage, im guessing they could break even by the end of next year between harvest and soil; maybe sooner.
Love the garden addition, been think about getting into a herbal gardening myself. start just got marshmallow in to plant now to figure out where to plant it. Most of my herbs line my side walk in pots.
Wow! That is really going to look great filled with herbs! Nice attractant for the good guys, too! You are all kinds of winning on this project! Take care!😀
Awesome addition to your garden space, " HERBIES CORNERS" . They are going to be awesome for sure. Thanks for sharing with us Sarah and Kevin, going to be so much easier to get the herbs you want and use the most. Stay safe and keep up the fun you two have around there. Fred.
Filling multiple raised beds similar to yours over the years. $600 is truly a fair price. Even with my (8) 3ftx4ftx12inch beds. I probably spent $200 on a good quality soil. And I even topped all of the beds off with 3 inches of my own compost from my leaf waste (which is free). So..Menards was a good deal for you.. 👍
Congratulations! We’ve cried uncle on our 2024 gardens. A terrible “plague “ of GRASSHOPPERS has totally decimated gardens for miles and miles. We’ll live vicariously through you this year. Blessings!
We've had similar situation with grasshoppers invation many years ago. We're in CA and that year was really dry and hot and we could hear them jumping and chomping at the plants and even dead weeds. My mother-in-law visited us for the first time...and the last time. She was creeped out by the jumping grasshoppers in the front door. Lately, our challenge is squirrels, mice, and earwigs.
Kevin I’m an accountant so I understand the nerdy garden math. I love it!! So happy Sarah has her herb garden. Please be praying for me as I recently lost my sweet husband of 33 years to ALS.

We have and use a cement mixer to mix our soils! We dump it into a wheelbarrow and take it where we need it. Best idea we've ever come up with!

I love how nicely your trellises are 'growing in'

Can't wait to see these beds filled and the gigantic smile on Sarah face. 😊❤😊

Wow! Your raised garden is absolutely beautiful! As always, your hard work shows. Frankly, it looks like the garden was just vacuumed!
You have the neatest garden I’ve ever seen. I enjoy watching you both working together.
How beautiful! Congratulations ! You guys built a wonderful space with the Vegega containers. That's my dream too .
looks great good luck with your herbs!
Your beds look beautiful!

The garden is beautiful,
Nice beds and sprinkler . Herb garden sounds good . Seeya
Exciting and I'm so happy for you all! Can't wait to see them full of herbs.
Your gardens are amazing

Such a beautiful garden. You two are the sweetest couple. So enjoy your channel.❤️❤️
I'm so excited and happy for you to finally have your herb garden 😅❤. Things are coming together ❤️ 🙌.
When I saw the thumbnail I knew it was your herb garden. How wonderful.
I am so happy for you Sara.
Enjoy watching you together!!

Awesome! That will be so nice Sarah, can't wait to see it done! Blessings!
great show thanks
Love this channel. After watching you get the beds I ordered 15. The weed fabric you recommended I also purchased and love it. Keep the videos coming!
I also/ordered the weed barrier and LOVE it as well. My garden looks great this year and NO weeds.
I picked up some mushroom compost and other organic compost from one of the big box stores and screened them through 1/2" hardware cloth before mixing with peat moss. There were so many sticks it was ridiculous. There were also stones (even a fist sized rock) and some random plastic in one of the bags of mushroom compost. Wasn't thrilled with that. I'll be glad when I'm making enough compost of my own and don't have to rely on the big box guys.
😊 ❤ I am so happy for you, Sarah. You have a great husband who cares what you like ans helps you get it. And, you finally got your REAL herb gardens.

So happy for you Sarah, your dream came true this year. It's nice seeing you both working together on the homestead. How are the piggies doing?🐷🐷
Fantastic and very happy for you both. I love growing culinary and medicinal herbs.
Always well explained! Thanks!☺️ ❤
With so much land I am surprised that you didn't fill it half way with that. Regular soil will not decompose like the stuff you bought. The organic soils can occupy the top half. Less cost up front, slower drainage, and less ongoing cost each year.
It is possible that maintaining the back side of the beds might be difficult because you can't get to the other side at the fence. The plants will get into the fence.

Those corner beds look so cool! I put together a Bunch of raised beds this past spring to fill my big GS high tunnel greenhouse (identical to yours). My beds are a different brand, and they are 8x4’ and 6x3’ in size. A total of 1,040 bolts! Whew! Lol 😆 …took me two weeks.

I'm so excited for you, Sarah!!
$600.00 seems a lot until you've pulled weeds,, jackhammered holes and hauled rocks out every time you plant.
Like canning jars, you can figure it in how many uses or how many years until your break even on your product. From there, it's all dollar (not necessarily labor) savings. In that vein, it depends upon what you actually grow and comparative grocery or retail cost; and do you compare to Now $1.25 Store, bulk, or bottled organic product. Because its so late in the year and using a medium price guage, im guessing they could break even by the end of next year between harvest and soil; maybe sooner.
Amen to that. It is so with it to save your back and not have to deal with horrible weeds over-running your garden beds.
Love the garden addition, been think about getting into a herbal gardening myself. start just got marshmallow in to plant now to figure out where to plant it. Most of my herbs line my side walk in pots.
Wow! That is really going to look great filled with herbs! Nice attractant for the good guys, too! You are all kinds of winning on this project! Take care!😀
Good morning! Congratulations on your herb garden 🎉
Sarah, I'm so excited for you!!!!
Your garden is breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL!
So excited to see the beautiful addition of the herb garden! What a blessing to see your garden is flourishing. Keep Cool and Take Care!!
The garden is so beautiful! Can't wait to see your herb garden grow! ❤
Weve been very happy with our herb garden. Chickens love the scraps. Hard to beat homemade marinara with a bushel of herbs bathing in it!
Awesome addition to your garden space, " HERBIES CORNERS" . They are going to be awesome for sure. Thanks for sharing with us Sarah and Kevin, going to be so much easier to get the herbs you want and use the most. Stay safe and keep up the fun you two have around there. Fred.

Congratulations! We’ve cried uncle on our 2024 gardens. A terrible “plague “ of GRASSHOPPERS has totally decimated gardens for miles and miles. We’ll live vicariously through you this year. Blessings!
Shading and netting will be your best friends for your garden
We've had similar situation with grasshoppers invation many years ago. We're in CA and that year was really dry and hot and we could hear them jumping and chomping at the plants and even dead weeds. My mother-in-law visited us for the first time...and the last time. She was creeped out by the jumping grasshoppers in the front door.
Lately, our challenge is squirrels, mice, and earwigs.
Herbs are so important to grow amongst your vegetables. Companion planting. Love how tidy your garden space is. Happy gardening.
