Mike your wife is telling y’all’s age she said I’ve known you for 18 years; just joking. My husband and I will be celebrating our 20 year anniversary in May, how about that. I love the way she mixed those carrots that will be so colorful and delicious to eat. God bless y’all.
You two are the sweetest couple on you-tube! Admire you very much Lacey and Mike! You rock🥦🥬🥒🥕
I love the idea of mixing seeds to have a color variety when it’s time to pick them!
Yes, the beds look beautiful, freshly prepared. Nice work!
Those beds look awesome. Lacie you are one strong lady, carrying
two filled buckets at a time and shoveling all compost, thumbs up!
Hello beautiful family. Love the purple color carrot seeds. The weather looks nice up there. If you know about Florida weather. It hot and cold. Now it in the 80s. Take care
Glad to see you more often in the videos Lacy!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

Spreading out the fun. Love it. God bless the Dickson family.
Hi...... 🏡🎥👍👍👍
Study the building of the Biltmore and what that family did for the entire community and ALL of the trades during the building of the Biltmore estates. Whole communities and schools of all kinds were started to accommodate the needs of the builders. Amazing.
You two are cute working together. 😊 The farm is thriving, it is going to be a bountiful spring.
Love your videos love your family
I used to live in Concord NC and you are right.....nothing but clay!!
You two seemed like you were talking to the camera and one another more naturally on this video which I really liked. Also, love the idea of going to no-till (I've been looking at a lot of vids over at Charles Dowding and wish I had years ago as I am a lot older than y'all!). Will pray you have a blessed spring and a healthy crop! Can't wait to see how your transition to no-till goes. Blessings to the Dickson family!
I Love watching y'all. I Love all the different plants you guys have
Hey you all, enjoy your little trip. I loved the seeder looks like that's the way to go. I love the mountains too Lacie, my property is pretty flat around the house about 2 acres then the rest slopped & flat mixed. Glad to be up and away and have a nice breeze. Great soil would be an added blessing, but God is faithful to let my gardens and fruit trees grow and produce abundantly. Enjoy and God bless your entire family.
You guys crack me up! My husband also likes to work out a lot, me not so much. He likes to try to get me to do more also. I tell him iam happy right where Iam. 💕😃
Thanks for sharing!
Your garden is beautiful. We re expecting snow tonight. I get my garden fix watching your family.
Nite y'all, have a great time and be safe.
This is a tip I learned from another homesteader.....It will help when handling the buckets with wire handles. Take an old garden hose & cut it to fit the handles. Cut a line straight down the length of the cut hose & place over your bucket handles. This will protect your hands when lifting a full bucket of compost or whatever.
Great tip! Thanks!
@@MikeTheFitFarmer You are Welcome. I enjoy seeing your homesteading videos immensely. Kudos to All 5 of YOU! !-!-!-!-!
Love hearing the cardinals chirping while you work. Bed looks beautiful!
if you plant yellow and red carrots they'll be orange!!! 😜😀😀
You two are such a hoot! 😂😁
Oh man the biltmore!!! I use to work there in the baking department!! The gardens are so spectacular!!!
Love your cap Lacie. 👍👍
Enjoy your trip. 🙂👵
I found your channel through McMurray..enjoying your videos, sweet little family!
Garden looks good. Bieltmore is awesome
Hope you get delicious, colorful harvest of beets. They are delicious. Enjoy your trip and I hope to see you all plant carrots. Like that seeder.
Beautiful
Mike to increase the water pressure outdoors you can add a water pressure pump I checked ebay and found this Automatic Booster Pump 90W Domestic Boost Water Pressure,Stainless Steel. You can mount it on the main line going into the Yurt or where your line goes to the garden. Your choice
Harold nailed it. I used one of those in the past. Works like a charm
It’s so nice to see a couple that works together....nice you are having a get away......
There’s a furniture store in the town across from the Biltmore that has beautiful hand painted items.....I can’t remember the name but I know you would enjoy it.....
When I was a cook one of the things that we bought were small veggies, like fingerling potatoes, multi colored peppers and carrots. They are so tender and the growing time is shorter......those baby carrots were so sweet.....we also bought small romaine lettuce heads and split them down the middle, seasoned with a good olive oil salt n pepper and grilled it......so good.
No organic farm stands in our area but we did have one farm that grew items and you pre paid for your CSA orders.....pick up was available twice a week at their farm.....also they charged if they had to deliver to your house which later changed to a meeting spot where you could get your boxed veggies.
Your place is really starting to open up and look more efficient.
Greetings Friends!!!
It's snowing in Morgan cty, Ohio right now. It was nice & warm yesterday & tomorrow will be decent. I bought 5 new Zealand white rabbits today. Almost bought 5 pekin ducks. I just didn't want to have both in the house at the same time. Bunnies are really chillin. I wanted to make sure I had both sexes. I will get a different buck later. Rural King didn't have turkeys today. Seen a pet red bourbon turkey strolling through the store. She has a bar stool at a local bar as well. She's 13yo. I've wanted to see Biltmore estate for yrs. I've driven past the exit for yrs w semi 🚛.
Hey Mike, check into the head space on your irrigation system. It's something like every 50ft needs 1/4in larger hose/pipe. We ran 200ft @2in pvc and tons of volume and pressure... hope this helps.
Goodnight
Beautiful..sharing
I really loved this watching this video, i laughed so much.. You are really a great great couple, also loveeee your kids..South Africa
Brilliant! Lovely varieties there and all looks lovely and sunny. Great that you are now no-till. I have been for more than 4 years now and will never go back to digging unless I have virgin soil that has been compacted. Oh, and to dig a whole for planting trees...of course.
Lacey, I really love the seeder and how it has made things so much faster and your life sooooo much easier. Y'all have been so busy you deserve a little R&R. Relax and have fun, everything will be right where you left it waiting, lol. Be Blessed
Did the Biltmore tour 40+ years ago, great gardens. Hope you enjoy your trip.
Best Wishes
when I saw the thumbnail thought you had put on a porch
I thought the same. Heading into the last 5 minutes of the video, I thought, "Man! When are they gonna start building that patio?"
Rainbow beets and carrots are the best. You guys need bulks seeds or bigger packs. I plant every year and alwayd amazed by the beauty. This year rainbow chard is joining the color party
Awesome 👍
I love beets and carrots. I have never seen the purple and white carrots tho. Have fun on your trip. :-)
So you prefer flat land Mike. Spoken like a true farmer. :-)
That is so cool the color of the carrots purple Who knew ..how do they taste?? Thanks in advance
Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun. My Daddy used to always say, if he could have any property in the world he would choose the Vanderbilt Estate. I agree Daddy! I Love Biltmore! The house is off the chain beautiful, but I have to say that I love the land and creeks more than anything. I can just imagine what it was like to ride through the estate in a horse drawn carriage and round the bend seeing the house for the first time. I know that was magical. That's what I think of everytime we go visit, usually in the spring. It Truly Ignites My Soul!🌻🌼🌷⚘🥀🌱☘The Spring Flowers Just Steal Your Heart Away All Over The Estate! Can't wait to go soon myself! Enjoy!😊🌻😎❤
mike, it's nice to see married couples sharing. but lacie, i think you shouldn't have to share the pain! :) :) good night guys!
Lacy , I love your channel. And you say white like I do. I'm kids tease me bout the way I say white. I couldn't understand why until I heard you. Southern girls💕
I think you might need a chipper/shredder for all those limbs. It would also help with gardening and compost.
Currently not in the budget.
Baker creek sent me some of the black carrots!!! they are sweet... great germination rate!!!!
Baker creek n mi garden r my favorite
Mike, why no till? What's the idea behind that? I don't get it....
He said it was because of the soil quality
No till keeps all the network of microbes, fungal hyphae intact so that organic aggregate can hold the moisture too. The soil doesn't get so dried out and hard packed either. We've been taught to till and so much better no till. 👍😁🌱
I got a sneak peek at the trees on the ground. lots of work to do.
The garden looks very nice! Love The Biltmore! We like to jump on The Blue Ridge Parkway when we head there.
We are only a hour from there! Have a great trip!
I love the parkway too but we didn't have the time, it was a pretty quick trip.
Charlotte from Ky. 😀
Hello from atlanta im looking at this video on How to build a hinged hoop raised bed by James Prigioni just thought the kids might like to try this little planting project for THERE self . or you might like to make it easy on you and family save your backs idk thank you for listening.😊😊
even watching videos of high places makes me not feel well..lol..so happy you got those seeds planted and am anxious to see yellow beets and purple carrots. Glad you were able to get out and about..be safe
I’m with Lacy, I do love flat lands for my gardens but man, the mountains are ❤️❤️ I guess that’s why we can’t seem to leave Colorado. Lol. It looks like you guys are in NC or Tenn? Both are absolutely beautiful!!
NC
Call a window company like Andersen windows
Hi from Scotland hi guys thank you both for a fantastic vidio your beds are amazing and I am so jealous of you seedlings in the Polly tunnel we are not getting any sunshine just continuous rain sleet and snow I have seedling growing indoors and mine look pathetic compared to yours lol can't wait to see you next vidio hope you have a great wee trip stay safe take care Anne Scott from Scotland
Thank you Anne!
Great video! I hope yall had fun at Biltmore. I want to go this spring.
Good video
Love Biltmore. Was stoked when in the barns I found the empty bee hive bodies, and kept walking around the house in the big rooms thinking "my bagpipes would sound amazing in here".
Your place is lookin good with all the improvements y’all are making, your gardens as much as we can see are already very pretty. I hope it flourished with the participation from all the family members
What about Belllingrath garden in mobile al
It's nice that you often remind us that farm work is exercise or "a workout". Most people consider it "hard work" and then, many of them, go to a gym to work out.
Lacie, I love how you hang right in there with Mike on the hard jobs💖..I absolutely love Baltimore...I live about 30 minutes away but rarely find the time to go...it’s so different every season and always spectacular! Love you guys..blessings🙏🏻💖
Mike, you drive stick? My man
We visited the Builtmore several year ago it is so beautiful.
Mike want more water flow / volume, then increase the pipe size. Start at the source, you try to take the lake closer to the garden, then throttle down.
Mind you I am talking from a gravity fed experience, but it still applies to pressure fed
Gardens looking good 👍. I love the mountains. Have fun at Biltmore.
I appreciate you showing the irrigation system! We moved into a new place with lots of gardening space last Nov. and I've been considering the efficency of a system.
Hi Mike! Can you please provide a link where you purchased your "wobble" Irrigators? Thank you!
Yeehaw, rainbow vegetables!! Please do a video on the virus preparation.
You should also have group or personal training on your place especially when your garden is in its yearly prime
.
Do y'all grow purple cabbage and green cabbage
💓💗
🕆 🕇 🕆
Purple and black are my favorite colors do we have a Navy veggie ? I don’t think so oh yes 😂 Navy beans
👍🏻🌱☀️🥰
Lacy, what prevents your beet and carrot seeds from being blown away, or eaten?
☺️👍👍👍👌
You must tell me what that weeder tool is called, I cant find it because idk what it is 😂😂😂 Help please! 😊😊😊
do you guys ever have turtles come up outta the pond and try to lay eggs in your beds? Just curious
One thing i can say is your a hard working man Mike. And your wife gets right in there to. Mike are you from Virginia ? Just wondering.
Mike was born in TN but has lived in NC since he was about 6 years old.
With the hoss seeder do you have to go back and cover up the seed?
and mountain lions?
The guns come out @ 7:31
