Great video. Love young people with the right idea about life. Did you find that you had about 25 to many cukumber plants? :) You might think beans and running plants on the fences and don't forget to go natural herbs for the medicinal as well as wonderful flavor. I'd suggest at least, chamomile, comfrey, dill, sage, time, rosemary, basil, and the ever powerful garlic. Red rasberrys and strawberrys. check out Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds...loved y'all!! Do another one!
@Dominicaislandmon Yep, got all our seeds from them this fall. We had TONS of basil, oregano, chamomile, lavender, thyme, rosemary, and DILL galore. (like literally 50 plants... it seeded in the spring- lol.) We are mainly going to focus on greens from now on- with a single plant for a few different other food varieties. Thank you!
those weeds are prickly lettuce, chooks love em if you're thinking of keeping some. Also some straw around the plants might be good for keeping the root zones cool, although beware of puting straw too close to the base of the stem as this can lead to collar rot. straw is brilliant around strawberries as it keeps the soil off the fruit. :0 yeah for backyard gardens
Awesome job converting your yard into a natural food factory! If only more people would do this to their yards...thanks for sharing your garden! It's a lot of work, but it's always well worth it to watch your garden grow and then harvest your rewards.
i was born in texas and lived part of my life there around the texas city area.... just wanted to say im really proud of yall! we will change this world yet!! thank you for sharing!
I cant wait to do my own organic subistance farming, LOOK INTO AQUAPONICS and greenhouses. You can add some protein and flavor to your diets by growing tilapia or other fish.
Well done and keep up the good work, your doing good. One thing I will say though, is that your compost pit is far to dry, it wont come of much, trust me im an English gardener, were the best of the best! lol
@assacoon Yes it was- but we usually let the rain do that for us. It is still breaking down nicely- and we want to be as hands off as possible. Thanks!
@Christos1680 I definitely don't want a bird house to attract more birds. It's actually birds and/or squirrels that got to my fruit. Bugs couldn't eat all my pears in a matter of days- lol. We have a net on it now... But anyway, we do have a bat house already. :) Don't think it is inhabited as of yet, but I'm hoping it happens soon. The mosquitoes are killers here. :) Thanks for the tip!
Good for you guys. We unfortunately live in a condo so our growing is limited. We do really well with basil and dill and love being able to pick it fresh and put it on a salad every night ;) c
love your garden...great job. I have some videos also. check out my fall video. I use water bottles and 2 liter bottles to start seeds faster and help protect them. also when you fig tree gets more branches you can cut one off and stick it in water and it will self root. then just pant it 4 a free tree. take care
You might want to identify that weed you're juicing. I may be wrong, but it looks like wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa ) - has mild phychotropic effects lol
I would love to visit this farm as I am all the way from Nepal. I have been working for more than 15 years in this area in Nepal. I would love to learn and share the thing about organic agriculture I also interested to work in such a farm.
@prosits It got wipes out pretty quickly because we are in a bad drought right now. We got lots of lettuce and dill, though! A few tomatoes, a few cukes, some basil, and one canteloupe- lol.
I hot every thing to grow here even water melon and cumbers good job
