@ 2:05 you said no way to completely prepare....... well there is. a controlled environment like a greenhouse would have survived. the only downfall with a greenhouse is the cost.
Wow, you spent your entire afternoon posting superfluous comments on my page defaming me. I bet you are really proud of yourself you FAG. Why don't you go get a life Doug. Go play a round of golf.....
You might think that mother nature is laughing at you because you took your best shot, but mother nature took her best shot and it looks like she won this one!!
bm5447-she doesn't need to mow her lawn-it is Ben Bernacke that needs a' hair cut ' and a ' crave out '-as he said himself.-she, on the other hand, is the proud owner of seeds and doesn't need to cut anything!!
Sorry about your garden. At least like you said you can always buy more vegetables. Our forebearers didn't have that luxury, and we might not much longer, especially with the current inflation rate. At the store by my house Ezekiel 4:9 bread has gone from $2.49 to $3.99 in the past year.
That's so sad, especially after all your hard work. But don't give up, plants are survivors too and many will bounce back. Last year we had 2" size hail and it knocked off all our apples, peaches, pears and apricots off. This year we have great abundance. You have lots of seed. It's not too late to plant again. Sometimes I've had to replant 3 times and have a late harvest/ You can do it, don't give up. LOL-Sarah
I think your going to be surprised at how them plants can bounce back! Also, with all the root crops and stuff you'll still have plenty to harvest! Turn that frown upside down! Plant again! You know there are things you can plant again there's still time! Beans, radish, lettuce, squash will all grow quickly along with lots of other stuff I cant think of right now.
I think yours would have been quite a more dramatic loss by leaps and bounds. Couldn't imagine what that must have been like. Esp. if you were relying on those crops for your livelihood. I can always buy more veggies, but I don't sell them for a living.
And they can sit there in the ground all yr till you want them. And super for blood sugar regulating, esp. for diabetics. And not so much starch like taters.
Hey my first comment was while waiting for vid to load. You still have alot of great strong green growing, 2 wks it won't look so bad. When we got hit 3 yrs ago it looked like something came through and just squished everything. Just little stumps left. Well, now you have more room for winter things? And maybe things you may have wanted to plant but didn't have room before?OH! We planted sun chokes, jerusalem artichokes, and they go crazy anywhere!
Hey there that's just awfull. We had a storm like that here in southern AZ about 3 yrs ago. Totally erased our garden, and broke some windows. We let it get to us and didn't even plant the next season. I thought we were going to get it a week ago like that. I know this time we would plant more. I hope you will!!!! You have to, can't let a storm beat you out of your food!!
I am so sorry about your garden. I completely know about the unpredictable weather is here in Colorado. I live 45 min northeast of Denver and just missed the destruction of my own garden. I encourage you not to stop on your garden videos. You could do something on winter crops, hoophouses, coldframes and of course, nutrition. I find your nutritional videos(really all of them) full of help and information. I love the Weston Price Foundation and all of your stuff. :) Dont give up!-allie
Bless your heart! I feel horrible about your loss. Keep positive and don't go pulling up roots right away. Give it a few days. You may be surprised to see what comes back. Nature can be cruel, but also resilient. You still have some time to work with. Planting for cold season vegetables especially lettuce, arugula, parsley, chard, spinach, even some peas and beans. Could also be time to look into a greenhouse or cold frames to increase winter production. Keep your head up! Ditto on seeds...
That's a tough loss considering that you also did your moms garden up so nice. The problem we still face today is that our organic gardens are still ways away from being the food forests they need to be to have the multiple canopy effect. In nature the effect of this storm is to flush down lots of organic matter and surge soil microbial activity. Since our food production is still single canopy we are essentially at a significant disadvantage to the non-linear side of nature.
I understand sweetie. Hey, my suggestions are this: 1) not everything was killed, so fix what you can and remove the dead stuff, 2) figure out how you can protect more of you plant from things like this in the future (greenhouse?), 3) in the future maybe plant more of the types of plants that can handle this type of weather.
Overall the land is still there and you can learn from this. It seems to me that at least some of your stuff will bounce back up (not all of it died).
Dont despair ! But I do have some advice for next year...ROOT crops. If you cover the unused ones with lots of hay they will keep all winter. SMILE !!!!
I feel king of the same way here! We´ve had a dreadful summer here, and growth in our garden has been close to nothing.. and all the work put into it!..
Some years are just like that I think! I think the lesson that can be learned from this is how closely linked we are to nature for our survival! It is all very fragile!
My heart goes out to ya Hon. Tough loss. Must have been some storm to take out your windshield too!
At least you will not starve, as our forefathers might have, as a result of the ravages of nature.
But take heart, SOME things may spring back and surprise you. (Life, after all, tries its hardest to survive.) So take a break, recoup, and wait to see. Mother Nature may surprise you yet - (and here's hoping!)
Don't lose heart! After watching your videos this past year we all know you're strong enough to weather this or any other storm. You seem so passionate about the things you did in that garden so you'll get out and fix it again. And enjoy yourself while doing it! My heart goes out to you and Steve over at SAR. His family got flooded out instead of the hail. I wish I were still in the area to help a few of you all out.
Don't give up. You didn't loose anything. Think of all of the stuff you have learned. Since you like gardening so much, won't it be fun regrowing it?!
I see you having a nice section with a green house, with the wood sections you have there you could use them as a base for pole to make a green house, just a thought. We get nasty weather here in CT almost everyday, I lost everything I had planted.
Grow something indoors with an LED light. It could be hanging, upside down hanger, self-watering or potted. Google HR1207; that should cheer you up a tad because freedom is on the march and without freedom, little matters.
I suppose this would make or break a civilization . A test of will and knowledge. Imagine if this got our ancestors down... we wouldn't be here . A God-sized weedeater rolled through, but on an academic level we are anxious to see progress in a week or 2. Pretty sure the plants and bugs are out there working hard to rebuild as we speak . Keep your head up girl. I wonder what was done in the past ?
homegirl, what you talking your garden looks the same as good as it did before the storm - I can't tell the difference, you are just screwing with us aint ya
Sorry to hear it. Fortunately you still have the supermarket. Imagine how devastating that could be if you and your entire community were growing crops and didn't have enough stored up in the root cellar/grain stores.
I had this happen to me last year, the hail decimated my gardens and made my carport roof look like a sieve. But most of the garden came back, some things were a bit slow/late, but I still had a decent harvest.
You are so lucky to have the knowledge you have gained to date, this will be another learning experience for you. We all can suffer much and still come back to prosper.
PM me with your address if you like, I can send you some saved seeds.
wow, I am so sorry to see this, God bless you! You will have 10 times better next year. Just remember...always save a stock pile of seeds, which I'm sure you do:)
"All is learning. On our journey of discovery we have found love hidden behind certainty, and the wilderness is our savior in crisis. Go to God's garden and see what has been provided in abundance."
~~cc
Man, I was eating wild blackberries yesterday, ripe on the vine. No one else took the time to stop and enjoy the feast along the road. One can never starve if one knows what is edible in the wild.
Reminds me of the Little house on the Prarie episodes where a storm spelled doom. This go's to show even those who have an abundance of there there own food still need to preserve more than they anticipate not just for winter but for crop failure. Give your self a few days to cheer up and then get back out there you still have plenty that can be saved . God Bless
Dang! We wittnessed you work so diligently on that garden it just isn't right. It was the government. They have it out for the provacateurs, Via their HAARP technologies. The selfish bastards!
I used to salmon fish once upon a time..Bad tackle days, boat breakdowns, BAD weather.I got by with a little help from my friends God gave me...It's tuff to be a saint sometimes eh? Replant something that grows fast and get redy for next spring!
hang in there , alot of those plants will bounce back , mabey just do a good clean up and pruning..your garden is not a complete loss. we get some fierce storms and I've had alot of damage this year also,,but I keep working at it... they bounce back !
I'm truly sorry for your loss, I would always look forward to your updates. I know it's not much consolation, but how do feel about, beets, swiss chard, radishes, and other fall crops?
I lived in Denver for a few years. Those storms come up suddenly and seem to hit pretty hard. Sorry to hear about the mess that it made of your seeds. Gardening can be frustrating at times, but you've had so many successes and happiness from your garden. It's normal to feel bad now but don't give it up. You're far too talented at this to just stop. Ok now group hug!!! :)
Sorry about your garden. I bought an Excalibur dehydrator because I live in a forest and for now I can't move so that I can grow a garden. I was worried about getting vegetables in my families diet and this is an alternative to nothing. I'll still hunt down good food for our daily diet but I will store dehydrated vegetables. I do this because I read a story years ago about people eating wallpaper flour paste and other things during the siege of Leningrad / St. Petersberg. I can't forget it.
Have you heard of forest gardening? You can grow mushrooms and berries and nuts, keeping away the animals is the biggest hurdle of course. But I've been hiking recently quite often, there is an abundance of food to be had in those hills.
No I haven't. And I can't think of a berry that would grow under the canopy that I have. I live in north Georgia and we have a lot of Kudzu and youtuber "eat the weeds" says that you can eat that so I knew of at least one vege that we could eat. haha
Just to add, I lost most of my garden to disease and too much rain, Im disbled and I cannot weed and that was a large part of my problem, in one way or another unfortune is a part of life, so sorry, but its ok maybe you can video something else, diversify, dont let this get you down too much, I felt like "whats the use"? myself too. Whatever will be will be, what can we do? Maybe as another poster said a greenhouse could have helped? Who knows it could have brought that down as well huh?
I think the lesson is pure and simple. The things we do, the things we value, accumulate on this Earth, will pass away....... Whether in our lifetimes or not, there is only one thing that is eternal, the spirit that runs through all things.
I think that's very true. It's also about priorities and realizing what is really important in this life. Family, health, faith in God and faith in yourself is all that really matters when you come down to it. If you have these things, you have it all. You are a young woman with a good heart. I know you will make it through this and come back stronger than ever. All the best.
Lessons learned, survival is HARD because you will always meet up with the unexpected, but I'll tell you it makes you really appreciate what our forefathers had gone through long before they had grocery stores, one bad harvest meant starvation the next year... man... Im really sorry about you garden, but keep this in mind, the chances of it happening again soon are slimmer (sigh) but better now then next year (I would think). Heck anything can happen our homes could burn down, its endless :(
A good lesson for us all. You can do what is prudent, but ultimately God in control of our destiny, and we have to trust Him before all of this other stuff we're doing. Sorry about your garden, but I'm sure you'll get it going again. It probably seems overwhelming to even think of that now, but it'll get better with time.
I remember how brutal the hail can be on the eastern slope. Totaled a car of mine once. Anyhow ... CHIN UP. clean up and get those fall crops planted. Right now's a good time to plant turnip seeds too. Thats all we can do get up dust off, and get back on the horse. Otherwise, "They" win! Condolences on the garden though.
I was afraid of the future so I planted a patio garden, lost mine to squirels, devestating but it taught me alot about trusting God. I have been stocking up on sliver too but I stopped becuase I feel like I am going against God. I will contended to put my faith in Him who said -"look at the birds of the air they neither reap nor gather into barns and yet your heavenly father feds them. Are you not worth more than they? And who of you by being worried can add one single hour to his life?"
You have heard the joke-parable of a man on his rooftop during a flood? When the dollar collapses and you have lost paper wealth and you ask God why?
God will say:
"I gave you silver, gold, platinum and palladium. But you didn't want them. Instead, you bought paper promises from anonymous men in bankrupt institutions who have a stated goal to support the fraud of the paper dollar which is not even an unjust weight and measure but a failure to pay any measure at all, so what did you expect?"
God will not forgive you if you simply let the darkness take over.
But then again! Christianity took over paganism because of sacrificial Christians that where eaten by the lions of Rome. This showed everyone who was evil and who was not.
Thus those that fight to survive will have evidence of the evil from your death!
So thanks!
Lets hope it doesn't take too many dead Christians before people wake up this time.
You have growing system that is easy to work up.I planted an 1/8 acre of some new super hybrid silage/field corn seed one year from the Ohio River Valley area. It was advertised to reach 15 ft high and with super sized ear's....Well a thunder storm rolled in and blew it all down before it made any baby ear's half way thru it's growing season! it was twevle feet high when this happened; it had'nt even tassled to make any ear's at all!
don't give up... my garden was flooded for weeks, killed it all, and then the rain stopped and we are in the middle of a drought.... i ain't given up ,,, keep pluggin away, your one of my heroes....
"The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things"
I lost mine to drought and water-rationing.
It could have been drought, deer, infestation of insects, severe flooding or any number of other things, but I salvaged what I could, planted some more veggies that have a six-week turnaround from till to table. I salvaged some seeds and started over,
The message is that it's time for you to look for a piece of affordable land and start the nursery.
And have you looked in the mirror lately? No funny business but...you're absolutely beautiful. And it has to be from living right. Healthy and natural.
If you had any idea how many of your ideas I employed in my garden, you would by no means deem this a loss at all. I have learned a lot form the nutty professor.
Berry season is right around the corner. Let Mom nature and God take care of this one for you. He has a huge "Inbox". File it!
Dang that sucks so bad. I think the lesson (only because you said it may be a lesson of some sort) is not to just rely on gardens? oh what do I know..... girl i seriously got all teary eyed watching this.
How heartbreaking! I'm so sorry this happened. Just like riding a bike though, gotta get right back up! I lost a ton of plants in a hail storm earlier this year, but lovin the babies taking their place :o). Deep breath and push forward luv, you'll be glad you did!
Like bullets shooting everything down. A hard lesson that all farmers learn.
Happy to send you some seed money.
Wildcrafting videos! And hiking in Colorado. I'd love it you shared more videos outdoors in nature. Lightning storms are wonderful. We seldom get any here in CA. Love it! Youtube original.
I will make a mushroom picking vid. I already have harvested my first batch, made a vid but it didn't save, so I will have to redo? Anyways, thanks for your kind thoughts CC. :)

wow, I am so sorry to see this, God bless you! You will have 10 times better next year. Just remember...always save a stock pile of seeds, which I'm sure you do:)

Man, I was eating wild blackberries yesterday, ripe on the vine. No one else took the time to stop and enjoy the feast along the road. One can never starve if one knows what is edible in the wild.

Reminds me of the Little house on the Prarie episodes where a storm spelled doom. This go's to show even those who have an abundance of there there own food still need to preserve more than they anticipate not just for winter but for crop failure. Give your self a few days to cheer up and then get back out there you still have plenty that can be saved . God Bless

I am really very sorry this happened to you. But know that God does nothing by chance. There was a purpose and a reason for Him to bring this to you.
I know, I know.........even though we know in our hearts it's true, we still hate to hear someone say that. :o)
Perhaps He's given you the opportunity to show others how to rise through adversity and over-come a hardship. Dont give up sis!!!

hang in there , alot of those plants will bounce back , mabey just do a good clean up and pruning..your garden is not a complete loss. we get some fierce storms and I've had alot of damage this year also,,but I keep working at it... they bounce back !
stymye 2 years ago 4
What I have learned from this is that we can not control nature and I will not always have food from my garden so I must always have a backup plan.
I am sure you did not lose everything that can be part of your backup plan.
I'm sure there is a silver lining some where and everything will work out in the end.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, I would always look forward to your updates. I know it's not much consolation, but how do feel about, beets, swiss chard, radishes, and other fall crops?
gubment0cheese 2 years ago
I lived in Denver for a few years. Those storms come up suddenly and seem to hit pretty hard. Sorry to hear about the mess that it made of your seeds. Gardening can be frustrating at times, but you've had so many successes and happiness from your garden. It's normal to feel bad now but don't give it up. You're far too talented at this to just stop. Ok now group hug!!! :)
Praxxus55712 2 years ago
It just doesn't seem fair, does it?
It is time for some fall cropping and because your plants have strong roots, a lot of them will be able to come back and provide food for you.
You know the value of growing your own food and you have inspired others.

Sorry about your garden. I bought an Excalibur dehydrator because I live in a forest and for now I can't move so that I can grow a garden. I was worried about getting vegetables in my families diet and this is an alternative to nothing. I'll still hunt down good food for our daily diet but I will store dehydrated vegetables. I do this because I read a story years ago about people eating wallpaper flour paste and other things during the siege of Leningrad / St. Petersberg. I can't forget it.
crissala 2 years ago
Have you heard of forest gardening? You can grow mushrooms and berries and nuts, keeping away the animals is the biggest hurdle of course. But I've been hiking recently quite often, there is an abundance of food to be had in those hills.
HomesteadProvocateur 2 years ago
No I haven't. And I can't think of a berry that would grow under the canopy that I have. I live in north Georgia and we have a lot of Kudzu and youtuber "eat the weeds" says that you can eat that so I knew of at least one vege that we could eat. haha
crissala 2 years ago
Just to add, I lost most of my garden to disease and too much rain, Im disbled and I cannot weed and that was a large part of my problem, in one way or another unfortune is a part of life, so sorry, but its ok maybe you can video something else, diversify, dont let this get you down too much, I felt like "whats the use"? myself too. Whatever will be will be, what can we do? Maybe as another poster said a greenhouse could have helped? Who knows it could have brought that down as well huh?

I see what the lesson is here. It's right in front of our faces. What do you think it is?
carefulcarpenter 2 years ago
What do YOU think it is?
purplehazed54 2 years ago
I think the lesson is pure and simple. The things we do, the things we value, accumulate on this Earth, will pass away....... Whether in our lifetimes or not, there is only one thing that is eternal, the spirit that runs through all things.
HomesteadProvocateur 2 years ago
I think that's very true. It's also about priorities and realizing what is really important in this life. Family, health, faith in God and faith in yourself is all that really matters when you come down to it. If you have these things, you have it all. You are a young woman with a good heart. I know you will make it through this and come back stronger than ever. All the best.

Lessons learned, survival is HARD because you will always meet up with the unexpected, but I'll tell you it makes you really appreciate what our forefathers had gone through long before they had grocery stores, one bad harvest meant starvation the next year... man... Im really sorry about you garden, but keep this in mind, the chances of it happening again soon are slimmer (sigh) but better now then next year (I would think). Heck anything can happen our homes could burn down, its endless :(
KARStarla 2 years ago
A good lesson for us all. You can do what is prudent, but ultimately God in control of our destiny, and we have to trust Him before all of this other stuff we're doing. Sorry about your garden, but I'm sure you'll get it going again. It probably seems overwhelming to even think of that now, but it'll get better with time.

so sorry to hear about your plot - I know here in Canon we had huge rain (it flooded our house, but everyone is okay).
Again so sorry to see what happened, but I know that after a while you will make a better garden and it produce even more than this one.
God bless

I remember how brutal the hail can be on the eastern slope. Totaled a car of mine once. Anyhow ... CHIN UP. clean up and get those fall crops planted. Right now's a good time to plant turnip seeds too. Thats all we can do get up dust off, and get back on the horse. Otherwise, "They" win! Condolences on the garden though.

I was afraid of the future so I planted a patio garden, lost mine to squirels, devestating but it taught me alot about trusting God. I have been stocking up on sliver too but I stopped becuase I feel like I am going against God. I will contended to put my faith in Him who said -"look at the birds of the air they neither reap nor gather into barns and yet your heavenly father feds them. Are you not worth more than they? And who of you by being worried can add one single hour to his life?"

HomesteadProvocateur 2 years ago
Patternpop-I'm just curious. Why do you feel that stocking up on silver is going against God?
purplehazed54 2 years ago
quite, quite.. somewhere in the Bible it says to the effect ' "wo unto you, for you have heaped up treasures for yourself in the last days!!!" '
I loaded up on gld & silver, now I cant keep my hands off it. it'll probably cost me the rapture
blackblade789 2 years ago
You have heard the joke-parable of a man on his rooftop during a flood? When the dollar collapses and you have lost paper wealth and you ask God why?
God will say:
"I gave you silver, gold, platinum and palladium. But you didn't want them. Instead, you bought paper promises from anonymous men in bankrupt institutions who have a stated goal to support the fraud of the paper dollar which is not even an unjust weight and measure but a failure to pay any measure at all, so what did you expect?"

He gave me His son and even if I starve I am at peace. Christians have very little in China but a great reward in Heaven.
Patternpop 2 years ago
God will not forgive you if you simply let the darkness take over.
But then again! Christianity took over paganism because of sacrificial Christians that where eaten by the lions of Rome. This showed everyone who was evil and who was not.
Thus those that fight to survive will have evidence of the evil from your death!
So thanks!
Lets hope it doesn't take too many dead Christians before people wake up this time.

You have growing system that is easy to work up.I planted an 1/8 acre of some new super hybrid silage/field corn seed one year from the Ohio River Valley area. It was advertised to reach 15 ft high and with super sized ear's....Well a thunder storm rolled in and blew it all down before it made any baby ear's half way thru it's growing season! it was twevle feet high when this happened; it had'nt even tassled to make any ear's at all!

"The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things"
I lost mine to drought and water-rationing.
It could have been drought, deer, infestation of insects, severe flooding or any number of other things, but I salvaged what I could, planted some more veggies that have a six-week turnaround from till to table. I salvaged some seeds and started over,
The message is that it's time for you to look for a piece of affordable land and start the nursery.
Next Spring is a new beginning.

Give it two weeks Mon. See what comes of this.
And have you looked in the mirror lately? No funny business but...you're absolutely beautiful. And it has to be from living right. Healthy and natural.
If you had any idea how many of your ideas I employed in my garden, you would by no means deem this a loss at all. I have learned a lot form the nutty professor.
Berry season is right around the corner. Let Mom nature and God take care of this one for you. He has a huge "Inbox". File it!
