  • You can eat the greens on sweet potatoes, but here they do much better in a greenhouse treated like a tropical plant. Hopefully yours do well! I love the purple and orange flesh sweet potatoes. You can also grow your own slips which makes it very cheap. 1 potato produces 20-30 slips 🙂
  • Inspiring! I love u-tube for the way it connects us from all over the world. Blessings from Australia 💕🙏🏾🎶🐸🦋
  • I so enjoyed this! While both my husband and I grew up with gardening and animals, for a number of years after we were married,we didn't own our place to where we could do much of that. We have our own little homestead now and last year got some animals and did some gardening. This year we expanded some, and want to continue to add things as we can. This video was so helpful and inspiring! I really enjoy all your videos and feel like I can learn a lot. Much blessings on you and your family!
  • I'm in the same boat with late plantings and all the rain. I'm constantly trying to remind myself that there is still plenty of time left in my growing zone.
  • I truly enjoyed this video. Your systems are well thought out. We are limited by where we live, but it doesn’t stop us. This year our focus is on things we are good at and what we normally buy for our canning needs. We’re hoping all gardeners have a great season. We love your family!♥️👍🙏🇺🇸😎

    Together and I loved how you get everything cleaned up and a really quick time. Also loved seeing your chicken coops how easy they were to move around.
  • @ciaralewis968
    The blast off hose run was everything! ❤ Memories your children will cherish!

    I like the 3 sister except although I love sweet corn it does not work in my small garden. Savoy cabbage has the most nutrition over red. Try kimchi similar to kraut but uses chinese cabbage which I find more tender and sweet. I replace corn to potatoes, I plant Viking for early and kenebec for later. I live where there is clay soil so I plant danver half long, I get these from the dollar tree for .25 cents and they do great. Ferry Morris is the company that dollar store uses so they are very good. My wife is from the tropics where sweet potatoes do well so she likes sweet potatoes, me not so much. Green beans "the big Kahona" grows quickllly, also onions, candy, sweet peas, lettuce, sweet peppers, and tomatoes. I also send seeds to Zambia Africa to a church work by a local pastor to help feed the many effected by AIDS. Altough this year since I retired that is more difficult.
  • Thank you for your help videos! 🤩 I started making soap a year ago and this spring I found your shampoo bar recipe. Wow! What a game changer in our bathroom! We all love it, and my friends I have it to! Thank you for sharing! Also thank you for your spaghetti squash recipe! I’ll be trying at church potluck soon! ❤ Lots of love from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
  • Such a wonderful video. You make things look so simple. I'm pretty much on my own with the garden and it's gotten to the point where I get what I get as my arthritis has me limited. Thank you for all the time you put into showing us how you do and accomplish things. God Bless and HAPPY GARDENING.

  • Lucky family, both husband and wife sharing the same passion, usually couples diverge with each complaining about what the other is doing or even worse working against it 😅
  • What a beautiful garden! A true family project. Nice to see the children eagerly helping,so sweet. Val C ❤🙏🏻
  • I love planting Holy Basil, Lemon Basil, and Lemon Thyme to make lemonade and tea. It’s the smell of summer for me. Check out the medicinal benefits. Especially thyme.
  • You are my new BFF 😂😂❤. Watching from Liberia, West Africa. Great work sis. I used to watch you when I was in America.
  • @readyfuels17
    Really great to see your permaculture system getting more and more refined. Wonder if comfrey would be a good chop-and-drop addition for ground cover around your fruit trees. Definitely took some notes while watching this video.
  • I always look forward to your videos. They are always filled with great takeaways and are so well thought out. Thank you for sharing.

    So much for sharing how little space you really need to really put a good garden in. You did a great job and it was wonderful seeing the whole family get interested in this garden you did a great job. Really loved it. Thanks so much for sharing from the beginning to the end, great job on the video.
