Stay vigilant we do not want your money
I just received my garden planner from Clyde.
Are you selling any of those briefcase 💼 seeds? I need those. 😅
Hi Doug,
QUESTION: If we receive your emails…do we need to register specifically for this giveaway?
@@vickibluejay yes, register
I am 87 years old, and put out a garden each year. I get so excited to see all the things grow and save money. I still work in the yard, paint the fence when needed and continue landscaping.
AWESOME 87 and still gardening, my grandma did her garden every year up to 96
I love that you do this! My mom is in her late 70s and she lives with us. Her "job" is gardening around here. We don't make her or expect her to do these things but she wants to contribute. Plus she's the only one of us that's actually GOOD at these things. If her health fails, I seriously don't know what we'll do! I'm always so glad to hear that people, like yourself, don't just go away and stop life after retirement! You're an example to me that I have NO excuse to whine that I'm too old to do something! 😂
Yay!
WONDERFUL!
I had a great aunt out in Oregon, she loved to be 102 and still took the bus to get her groceries and shoveled her own snow and made the most beautiful crochet tablecloths, blankets, placemats and these cute little socks for your drink glasses so they don't mar the furniture with moisture until the day she peacefully left us in her sleep. 💜 People used to be like, superhuman or something. I don't know how they had the time to everything they did and keep a perfectly immaculate house, even with 10 kids!
My victory garden is mentored by my 89 year old mom! I encourage anyone who is blessed enough to still have an elderly parent to value the best resource that money cannot buy!
Unfortunately, my mother lived in the city during the Great Depression. She is no more helpful to ask about frugal living, gardens, or recipes than Gen Z who live in a major city.
I think that why we retire, to garden more! 89! Thats pro :)
I second that, but on more than just gardening, Get their information on food Preservation for when it is no longer on Grocery Shelves, or sky high Prices Look for Canning books, jars lids Pressure cookers, books on life in the old days before all these gadgets in the Kitchen. Purchase the hand operated kitchen devices in the Antique Stores of Grandmas that people just dumped, get away from the electric devices have hand operated instead. Edible Weeds, what did Great Grandma and Grandpa do to live? Get Plans for the Composting Toilets America is going to go through a big change Folks!
Jim Coulter yes!
My Mom is 94, and I am always picking her brain about how it was done when she was young. When I was growing up I spent a lot of time with my mom's aunt, she passed away in 1979 at the age of 96, she and her brothers and sisters (13 total ) were all born and raised in Key West back when fresh water and other a Essentials came in by ship, boy I learned a lot from her. Old people are a treasure of knowledge that should be cherished.
Write a book and share with others we love learning new things
Right a book they got apps that proofread and stuff. I wrote a book made 3k did alot of tik tok and Instagram Twitter got banned from all three so I'm back to square one how to adver6
My guess is you’re over 18 years old.
WOW good guess
Please write a book! ❤❤❤
I am 50 years old and my parents have had gardens and greenhouses since I was a baby and they still do in their late 70s. They have went from growing tomatoes to peach trees, sooo many blueberry trees, grapes, kiwi and sooooo much more! He has never stopped and now I do the same here!
Last year we downsized, bought 4 acres & cabin , installed a 48 volt Solar system . Now we live mortgage & utility free ! I grow and can everything! This is the best decision we ever made !!!! Finally living life ! Thank you SO MUCH for you encouragement and lessons . Because of you guys …. We’re doing it !!!!
Awesome job
Hi Suzanne, I'd love to talk with you about your solar system, if you have time. We'd really like to 'cut the cord' but not sure how to go about weeding out the scammers to find companies that are true. Any advice? Thanks!
@@kenyakingsbury9856 There's a guy on CZcams named Will Prowse. Just start watching his channel, DIY Solar Power, and do it yourself. You'll learn something that way, and you'll save a ton of money. Check him out
@@kenyakingsbury9856 we had a company install it for us . They were knowledgeable in off grid installations .
We had to go that way because we didn’t understand all the electrical stuff . It cost a lot but we didn’t have to struggle thru the process. How I found fingerlakes renewables was thru an article in Mother Earth magazine.
Probably if you Google off grid solar power installers for your area something will come up . Good luck ;)
It's too bad I didn't pay more attention when my mom canned. Now I would have to learn how
When I was in College I did a paper on Victory gardens. Someone from the government would actually come to your house and help you plan your garden for each successive planting throughout the seasons so you could have success. They would come back to visit throughout the seasons and actually give a certificate and post it on the garden as a successful Victory garden. ALSO, during harvest they would open up kitchens for the women to go and can their harvest to be able to put their food away. I could go on and on about it because it's really a passion for me to research and implement.
That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing!
It was amazing , thy actually taught us to grow in the classroom and we could order seeds and get some free in school .
That was back when we were useful to the cabal. We've become expendable now.
@@katherinehine4153 Each living soul is loved. God gave you breath and He is mindful of each one of you. No one is expendable. The is a lie from the pit of hell. Words matter. Don't give mind to the wicked. You are precious to the Creator.
@@FaithfulServant1967 AMEN!!!
My 92 year old dad often talks about the victory garden he and the neighbors had when he was a child. He has fond memories of the community
There's nothing like home grown food! No wax dipped produce! No pesticides in our garden! Raising chickens is so cool. They are fun animals and they deliver breakfast every day. Ours do fairly well during the winter, too! Nothing better than fresh eggs! TFS, Doug! You & Stacy have a blessed day!
Absolutely agree 💯....grow our own food, keep our own seeds, and raise our own farm animals. God bless Doug and Stacy. 😇🙏💕🇺🇲
Unless you grow things that cross pollinate. Sucks
I really enjoy your show all the tips you share. But today was special.! Thanks for the heads up on the planner. It's hard to believe that I used to live in the country and a nice garden and rabbits and chickens. Seems like a lifetime ago.
It's amazing how much knowledge you lose when you don't do it.
Like the saying " use it or lose it"
You bet!😉
I bought that planner years ago-I’m finally putting it to use. Grow food and learn some new skills-it’s time to get out of our comfort zones and break pattern!❤

Have you guys looked at HR25?
It will tax consumption at an inclusive 23% which becomes over 29%
Consumption could easily include those things you consume in off grid living
Hubby and I are 70 yrs young and living in small city less than 1/4 acre but we've gardened 30+ yrs. and plan on continuing this until we can't. Thanks for your love guys.
That's awesome. Good for you.
That is how I feel my husband is 80 I'm 60 and my son at home is 23 so we are happy about doing our own
I recently lost my husband to cancer. A close neighbor asked why should I keep gardening on our little wannabe homestead, when it's just me now.
It is a fulfilling feeling when you pluck a fresh tomato or green bean that you planted yourself, knowing it is as organic as possible. So thankful for my Amish friends in this farming country, who I buy most of my starts from.
So thankful for your channel...I have been a watcher of it for years. ❤
Awesome
Thank you for sharing Ruth Ester, I think it’s beautiful that you would honor your loved one by continuing to fulfill your shared dreams and living life to the fullest. I pray comfort and peace as you move forward through this next season,bless you.💕🙏🏼
@@leahneedham6314 Thank you for your thoughtful reply 🙏❤ it is hard being alone now, but I will get used to it.
Sorry for your loss Ruth
I am sorry for your loss Miz Ruthie.
I've gardened for about 44 years on my own, before that I helped mom and dad with our family garden - always organic - no poisons! God bless you both!
When my grandparents moved from their farm to a town so their kids could go to school, they still had a huge backyard garden, immaculate and beautiful. Nothing went to waste. I still have a quilt my grandmother made from leftover clothing material. I'm so thankful now to see my own daughter and her family homesteading, canning, raising chickens, homeschooling.
How early can you plant in your greenhouse?
I'd love to see a picture of the quilt your grandma made. I remember the wool pieces my grandma had in the quilts she made.
My husband and I were talking about Victory Gardens a couple days ago. They've tried for years to ban backyard gardens and whatnot. They want to obliterate our ability to fend for ourselves whether it's growing our own food, capturing rainwater or owning snug, so they have ultimate control. We like-minded folks have to stand together! Three cords are not easily broken.
I so appreciate all you guys stand for!! I married a dairy farmer about 40 years ago, and my sweet in laws taught me the gift of being frugal as well as how to plant garden and preserve food. That's a gift that has fed and benefitted my family well for almost 40 years. I cannot thank them enough for sharing the knowledge and the skills they taught. What you all are doing is just like what they have done for me. People everywhere need to know we CAN do these things and not have to rely on other "men" for so much. And we can be stronger for it as well as getting the satisfaction of knowing what's on your dinner table. Thank you!
SO much respect to you and Stacy...going into the off grid homesteading cold turkey with no experience. That is BRAVERY.
My husband and I are in our 60's and we grow in our backyard in town here in Ardmore Oklahoma. Things are changing rapidly in this crazy world. There is nothing better than fresh air, sunshine and rainwater for my houseplants and garden and oh the the best tasting garden grown fruit and vegetables. We crave it. We Love You and Stacy and appreciate all you do for us with your Truth which sets us all free! Thanks very much Doug and Stacy!🥰🤗💕
We're in Latimer County, Oklahoma. Howdy neighbor!
@@TeresaV Well Howdy Neighbor back...so nice to meet y'all!!!🤗♥️

@@dorothypursley3529 Whoop! Whoop! Okies in the house!😁
Ya'll are everyones virtual aunt & uncle, what a world, so so blessed. In my prayers always you guys.
I agree, going to the city council meetings and getting involved is definitely a way we can make our voices heard. The Clyde’s Garden planner has been super helpful for us too!
My husband and I have been getting involved locally since the end of last year. We went to our first city council meeting, and it was a wake-up call! We will be presenting a plan to allow backyard chickens in our city. We have a farm in the next town and have chickens there, but the rules in this town don't really allow most people to have them. So, your suggestions to get involved are very good and I've been recommending it to people!
Can you share with me your plan to approach the council with this idea bc I want to do the same thing. They don't allow livestock in my town. I want to have chickens.
Same. Would super appreciate ideas. At a loss right now for wording. I know my city is a hard city to crack, but with egg prices so high I feel like this might be the only time i could win people over on chickens
Yes! Please share your plan. We’re not in the city limits, so regulations don’t affect us personally, but every backyard should be free to raise a flock. I would love to make this available on my nextdoor backyard chickens group for anyone interested in putting forth a plan to have access to helpful resources! Thank you!
NO MORE "BECK AND CALL" CORRUPT CITY COUNCILMEN, FORGET THEIR CORRUPT PLANS, GET RID OF THEM.....THEIR PART OF THE PROBLEM. VOTE ALL OF THEM OUT.THEIR ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!
GET RID OF ALL THE CORRUPT PLANS, RULES, REGULATIONS, LICENCE THIS, LICENCE THAT, CAN'T BUILD WITHOUT THEIR SAY SO BECAUSE THEY KEEP CHANGING AND ADDING MORE PLANS, CORRUPT TAXES, PERMITS ON HOMES, LAND, BUSINESSES, SCHOOLS, FARMING, HOMESTEAD PROPERTY OWNED BY PRIVATE CITIZENS WITH ANIMALS. IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!
VOTE OUT CORRUPT POLITICIANS, JUDGES, ATTORNEYS, AGENCIES, MEDICAL, CORRUPT FOREIGNERS AND ALL PARTNERS IN CRIME THAT LAWS TO FIT THEIR NEEDS AND POCKET BOOK! THEIR ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!!
KEEP BIG COMPANIES FROM MOVING NEXT DOOR TO YOUR PROPERTY AND IMPOSING MORE LAWS THAT STAMP OUT YOUR OWN LEGAL RIGHTS. LIKE MAKING YOU GET RID OF YOUR HORSES, COWS THAT FART, CHICKENS, PIGS, DOGS, CATS.... IMMANENT DOMAIN, PEOPLE STEALING PROPERTY BECAUSE YOUR PROPERTY IS IN THE WAY, OR BECAUSE OF NEW DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTION, FOREIGNERS WITH MILLIONS BUYING UP LAND (THAT USE TO BE AGAINST US LAWS.) THEIR ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!!!!!!!
YOUR GRASS IS NOT GREEN ENOUGH, IT'S TO HIGH, TO LOW, WEEDS IN THE DRIVEWAY, YOUR TRASH CANS, YOUR KIDS, YOUR CARS, BOATS, MOTORCYCLES, THE COLOR OF YOUR HOUSE, HOUSES ARE BUILT SO CLOSE TOGETHER, NO PRIVACY...ON AND ON! PEOPLE WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING UNTIL YOUR LIFE IS DESTROYED, TAKING AWAY THE RIGHTS OF ONE TO FIT THE CORRUPT RIGHTS OF THE OTHER? RIGHTS FOR COMPLAINERS?....THEIR ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a Victory Garden last summer all because of Doug and Stacy! "Do What You Can Where You're At!" I thought because I live in a camper in an RV park I could not have a garden--but Doug and Stacy kept saying do what you can where you're at so I did! I asked the Park owner if I could grow a garden and he said because I asked I could! I have 6 kiddie pool gardens that kept us in fresh produce all summer and greens until late Oct. The last of the carrots and potatoes went in the stew pot last night! Last fall we made mini high tunnels to cover the pools so this year we can start earlier and go longer. Where there's a will, there's a way! Thanks Doug and Stacy!!!
That is awesome!!
The fact that you and Stacy have learned so much and built all of this in only 14 years, is so awesome and encouraging. 4 years ago, my husband and I spent everything we had on a Skoolie, which was intended to become our home. Saying we were "scammed" on that deal, would be putting it nicely. But only a year later, we found the home we never thought we would have; and now we have our little fixer upper on 3 acres. So much can change in so short a time! I'm so grateful to be learning now, so we can raise our kids with this life knowledge that has been forgotten to modern day conveniences. It's just so rewarding to return to this way of living, and abandoning dependence. I love your winter planting box. That corrugated plastic sheeting is a great idea! I'll be borrowing that.
About 10 years ago, our small city/town were about to pass a law that we can no longer have backyard chickens. It was motivated by a couple people in town that were keeping chickens completely inhumanly... neighbors didn't like the smell. We organized a chicken organization, holding meetings in backyards with our chickens. We presented to the city our rights to feed our families, oddly enough we actually found a historical newspaper of our city telling people of of city that "its your patriotic duty to raise chickens" Since then so many more now raise chickens.
I'm in a retirement community with so many can't do rules and not much but a stamp sized patch. But it won't stop me, I'm growing food in pots , big ones and some grow bags . Thank you and Stacy for encouraging us all .
"But it won't stop me"
I live in apartments too and don't have anywhere to have a garden right now - saving to buy property that I can homestead on.
I did a bucket garden last year on the patio and some of the yard space I thought I could get away with taking up without getting a headache over from management. Everything I grew was in 5 gal buckets except potatoes, which I grew in big tote boxes. I bought bags of dirt from the farm store in town, and some composted cow manure to mix in.The 5 gal buckets I bought from there too. The tote boxes I got from walmart. Drilled holes for drainage in the bottoms and filled up the containers with dirt. I started everything from seed in the living room in front of the slider windows, about March I think, so I had plants to put out when it got warm enough It worked out pretty good for me, it being the first time ever trying to grow food that way. I grew tomatoes, potatoes lettuce, melons, peas, cabbage, strawberries, bell peppers, carrots, onions, and some other stuff. I didn't grow a whole bunch of any one thing that I could can - I don't know how to can yet even if I would have. But I did grow enough that I had fresh vegies and some fruit all summer which made it possible for me to stock up on store bought canned goods.
So as the saying goes where there's a will there's a way. And God provides and makes a way to get through stuff. I'm 60 and disabled as well, still was able to do more than I expected I would be able to do. I'm going to do it again this coming summer and try to add more stuff to my little garden
I’m a nurse & encouraged many-residents in such; 2 use small plastic pools/on concrete blocks & micro-greens inside (all year long)& 5 gal (bakers often free)buckets tomatoes/peppers (along side walk)& straw(laundry baskets)potatoes; see YT for layering Up & tall twisty-towers ($35 sams)for 25-40 strawberry plants (on patios) buy 4-5 plant lights in silver holders w hooks & use year round in side…for limes/lemons. God Bless!
I have fond memories of watching “Crockett’s Victory Garden” on PBS. He understood the assignment! I’m wondering what everyone thinks about the tower gardens that can be indoors. I see quite a few people in apartments & colder climates liking them. Stay awesome everyone!
I loved that show too!
yay thanks for that tip on that programme - never heard of it but found some of the episodes on YT so have him lined up to watch after doug
@@mudpyz Enjoy!!
My husband and I purchased my family farm 3yrs ago and we are so fortunate to have your channel to help learn how to utilize the land to its full potential and how to build inspiration and tools to make it easier. We are grateful for the scripture that you follow and share with us too! 😊 Thanks for all your help and encouragement!!
We are a young (20 & 24) newly married couple that began homesteading last year, so we are still rookies but love love learning from people like you!! You really HAVE to be self sufficient these days. The world has gone crazy, it's all so uncertain. Can't trust anybody. Gotta get back to the basics! 💪
You are a wise young couple.
I envy you..
Learning to do at least something on your own is so rewarding and liberating. Then, each year, add to your repertoire. It is amazing how far you can come in a short amount of time.
Soo true.
I grew up on what is now called a "homestead", but we didn't know that's what we were! My mom's garden and our animals kept our family of 5 well fed on my dad's very small annual salary (he was a PA coal miner). I'm so grateful for all the knowledge I have from those hardworking parents and how much comes back to me as I plant and preserve my food. No animals, but may consider a few small ones since I'm now only taking care of myself.
Have you guys looked at HR25?
It will tax consumption at an inclusive 23% which becomes over 29%

Same here! I just wish I would have wormed my way in the garden more often and learned. He wasn't an organic farmer, and I am. But I know I would have learned a lot. I also wish I'd have learned how my mom canned. I ferment, but I'd like to have canning as a back up.
@@ronaldcovington5091 what is HR25? That sounds like something I would be interested in if it can save money on taxes
How exciting! Tomorrow I’ll be 50 years old. What am I getting for my birthday? Baby chicks! I have been devouring information on raising chickens and becoming more self sustaining. We already have bees, so adding this seemed like a natural next step! So glad I found this channel and I entered! God bless you both 😊
Congratulations! I’m in my 60s and got my girls last year! We love them and spoil them with treats- in return they provide our eggs… no need for a huge flock; just 2 of us so 3 are fine🥰
So many tips you both have given that will go with my family and I this year! From gardening, to bedding for chickens, to just staying aware of all the local and wide spread attacks we have our way! Thank you for the inspiration!
Growing my garden, not my government 🙌🏼
The turkeys sound like Doug is using a laugh track I love it 😄
🤣
Lol
We have been following you all for at least 6 years. We have been to every conference in Hannibal. Because of the information gained through this channel we raise sheep, chickens, built a greenhouse, and our raised beds are just like yours. We are grateful for you both. Much love from the Knop family.
Great show! My Grandfathers were farmers, my father was a farmer, my daughter is a farmer and I am a farmer! I raised my 2 girls on a CSA farm, as part of their homeschool program. The things they learned are immeasurable! Thanks for encouraging the world to plant a seed and watch the divine miracle.
I felt a prompting to start gardening in 2020. I’m so glad, because I’m still getting the hang of it. So grateful for the things you share!
My day would not be complete without a pep talk from Doug and Stacey. Thank you for all you do for us Doug( and Stacey)! ❤😊
My late husband was an excellent gardener. He passed in 2013. He kept so much info in his head and the notes he did keep I couldn't find. I have many gardening books but who has the time to read them all. I heard you speak about Clyde's chart and ordered several as Christmas gifts. It's amazing just how much info these charts contain. One can always refer to the books but this just simplifed it all. Great gift for all your friends and family. We need to bring back the "VICTORY GARDENS". I always notice in my British videos, they have local areas for gardens....
Don't wait until Christmas 2023 to give those as gifts, folks need as much prep and practice time as possible. Give them now as "I Love You" gifts ;-)
We love your videos. Our family started a homestead a few years ago, but November 4th a tornado came through and destroyed everything we worked so hard for. That being said we are basically starting over from scratch. Lord willing all will come together better than before.
During the war our grandparents and parents were told by government to grow Victory Gardens, because this was the best way to defeat the country's enemy. This truth still applies today. As Edward Abbey wrote - "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country from his government."
Bought my Clyde's planner last year after hearing about it for the 1st time. Definitely a great resource. Currently building my 1st ever chicken coop, 🐔 ordered 6 hens and a rooster to be delivered in April, and bought some products from Dr Leo to catch and keep my 1st beehive. The greenhouse has been full since the Fall, and seeds have popped up for the Spring. God has blessed us with plenty of work through this entire covid period. We're not letting 2023 get us down. All thanks to God! Keep your head up folks, put your faith in the Lord, and help someone when you can. Thanks Doug and Stacy for all your teaching and sharing.
I've always been a huge advocate for victory gardens. My folks were of that era so I grew up with fruit trees in our yard and a garden. In college I petitioned the city council to let a group of us use a plot of land next to a park for a community garden. I was a single mom, organized other single moms, and we won. Local farmers heard and helped for free. One plowed up the field, another dumped cow poop on it for us. We had plots and one plot we all worked on for the local foodbank. It was awesome! You have to think outside the box, and it doesn't hurt to ask questions and give ideas. Go to your city council meetings!
Doug and Stacy, We ordered 2 of the Clyde's planners. This is my second year of doing a huge garden to become more self sufficient and get away from the grocery store. I am learning from you both so much. I keep watching your videos over and over to make I am doing it right! God bless!! Thank you!!
I love how your channel covers more than everyone else while keeping things realistic and encouraging. Huge help after spinning circles looking for information among alot of repeating vague info out there. You guys are amazing.
Doug, could you or Stacy make a video on how to read the sky for weather predictions? That would be a prepper skill to have. Thank you for all you and Stacy do for us.
I will try
Thank you!!
I agree , that would be.
Just ask the govt to use Harpp you should be fine then
Love that idea! Also any old wise tales on animals predicting weather changes too. I suppose I could GTS but would rather hear from you all
We just learned about Clyde’s garden planner this year and are so glad to have it! We’re starting sweet potato slips today as part of our homeschool day. Thank you for the tutorial on Sunday!
Been using this channel for years to teach homeschool science to my kids. You guys along with Living Traditions, MKN, and Deep South are life-changing.
I’m a 62 son to be 63 widow and you and Stacy are a blessing to me. I need all your help.
It is a full time job keeping abreast of all the debauchery going on in America and around the world. Thank you for staying on top of things and putting it out there for your listeners.
Planting seeds now, and looking forward to seeing things starting to grow,and having good food with no chemicals.Means a lot to me.
Just ordered 6 of Clyde’s Garden Planners for friends, family, & myself. Can’t wait for them to get here!
I grew up watching my grandfather plant a garden, and helping a little. He also taught me a little about hot water bathing. I've started enjoying chickens. I'm hoping to get a better handle on catching rain for all things. It's so good to see tried and true methods with you two! AND I'm going to grab Clyde's garden planner. I have a book written by a local man with lots of great tips but this planner looks great and simple and no internet is a big plus!
Thanks for letting everyone know about the chicken feed. We started making our own and were getting more eggs than we've been getting since November. We went from 9 eggs a day to 26 in just 2 weeks. We have 70 chickens, in which 30 are pullets. We let them have free rein, and that has saved us a great deal in feed. We grow vegetables in the summer and have for the past 31 yrs. So much satisfaction in eating meals that you grew yourself. I am just so grateful that I live in a small farming community where almost everyone usually has some vegetables growing in their garden. There's less than 6,000 people in the whole county here in South Central Kansas.
May God bless you both!
Sounds like you’re doing it right 😊
We haven’t had an issue
Would you mind sharing what you use to make your chicken feed? Thanks!
Would you share what you now feed chickens please?! What grow zone are you in?
We're just experimenting. We use fancy scratch and steamed oats, which we feed our horses. We keep oyster shell out for them most of the time.
There are many neighborhoods in our area that have HOAs that ban chickens. When we bought our land about 7-8 years ago, we purposely looked for property that didn’t have an HOA. Our neighborhood is definitely in the minority. Since we are both disabled it has taken a few years to prepare the infrastructure butt this summer we will have chickens and a small garden. We’re in zone 4 so our growing season is short but we make the most of it. Thanks for all the encouraging information you give us!
It’s my Dream to Homestead! For now I am just gardening and buying local honey and eggs but plan to get as close to nature as possible! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for sharing All you do!❤ God bless you and Stacy🙏🏼.
Keep teaching the teaching is more important to me than the money. God bless
I've had chickens for 8 years since I moved out on a little over 2 1/2 acres and can't imagine ever going back to being without them! Home grown food tastes 1000x better than store bought. No comparison. Thanks for encouraging people to "chick it up" and garden!
Yep. Had chickens 16 years now. I cannot stand store eggs. Mine are in mobile pens I move in my yard over fresh green daily. Otherwise my dogs who double as protection would also eat them

We moved from town to the country on to 12 acres over 13 years ago. It was our best decision too, Doug! We’re older now but still push through the challenges and praise God for this journey! I got three Clyde’s garden planners today. Can’t wait! Thank you for all y’all do for us!!
Thanks for helping so many. Yall both have a gift for teaching. Got my seeds started and can't wait to get my garden planted here in Alabama!
It'll be a year on the 16th that my hubby passed. Still have my goats and chickens. Garden every year. It's a little lonesome, but I'm carrying on! Thankful for my little farm!
We just got Clyde's charts last week as we decided we need to get very serious about gardening this year. Food prices have gone through the roof and we see the necessity to expand our gardening. Thanks so much for all of your encouragement and for your extreme generosity💗💗💗. Our goal is to be off the grid completely eventually. God bless you all!
Plant your own Squash so neighbors can close the curtains when they see you coming with an arm full!
Love it I got two to keep with my seeds and one in my gardening book got to keep track of those things
This is a crazy world and is only getting crazier. Being self-sufficient is the only way to go and especially being your own doctor! Thanks for all the priceless content, keep it up.
I'm so thankful for the comraderie of like minded people who "get it" ! I appreciate you both. Ken Billman
Thank you Peanut F. for your kind words of reply to my post. I am thankful that I am able to be active, I wouldn't have it any other way. That's what keeps us strong and young. Never give up - is my motto, no matter how bleak or dark it is, morning is near. Thank You Jesus...
Thank you so much Doug for all your information.💝 our goal this year is to make our garden bigger and maybe get a greenhouse built. You guys are the best!
Doug & Stacey + All of us..Standing Together Grass Roots Strong !
Sending Love and Prayers to all.
My husband and I are trying to be more self-sufficient... We have been gardening and canning for years, but now we are in a new adventure: Building a chicken coop for the first time... our chicks are coming around 1st of March. We are getting "mutts" like Stacy calls them from a local girl who is incubating eggs for us now... The information you give is so valuable for us... Thank You, Doug and Stacy!
I have learned so much from you and Stacy. I'm a single mom working with my son on the importance of not depending on anybody or agency to get by in life. I bought a small home last year with only 1/3 acre. I live on the outskirts of a small town where I am able to have 11 small animals. I bought a chicken coop and a green house last fall and I'll be putting them together this spring. I did have a nice garden last year until the groundhogs discovered it. I've been pressure canning like crazy and my next investment after I save enough money is a wood stove from Lehman's.
Thank you Doug and Stacy for all the information and encouragement you give everyone. My husband and I are 66 and 67 and I got back into having a big garden when we saw what was going on in this world with food prices and insecurities. I canned ,froze and fermented every thing from the garden and raised meat chickens for the first time ever and it feels great knowing where a lot of our food came from.
Good for you! Same here! We are 67 and 64. Sold everything except the bare essentials. Fled California, the mortgage, the slave jobs. Bought a small piece of bare property. Build a very small one bedroom house completely off grid. Growing as much as we can, anywhere we can AND we are happier now then we’ve ever been. If we can do it, anyone can!
We’re focusing on food production this year. Especially staples like onions, garlic, and potatoes, and any food we can “put up”. I’m thankful to Stacy for introducing me to fermentation!
Real Food Staples are worth Gold
I did 5 qts of fermenting today 🤗
I know, right?! I can't wait to start!!
Look into other root crops too, like turnips, beets, carrots, and sweet potatoes. I am planning to plant hazelnuts too.
@@laurieasmus9998 🤗 I just pulled a haul of sweet potatoes 3 weeks ago. And replanted. I have beets going now too. Love em! Mmmmm hazel nuts. Am sure they don’t grow here. Last yr planted 2 mango’s , a barbadoes cherry, a kumquat, lemon and guava tree. And some blackberries. 🙏 They all survived the hurricaine. 🤗🙏.
Blessings to all. Hope everyones garden is super this year!!
I am glad to have found your channel. I have always wanted to have my own homestead. Watching you and how kind hearted y'all are is awesome. God bless y'all
You and Stacy show us how to break free in so many ways. Real sense in a crazy world. Thanks for being you and sharing so much.
We enlarged our garden this year and are hoping to start building a greenhouse late summer early winter. I am learning so much and very thankful for finding you all.
Good for you! I am hoping to finally get atleast a small greenhouse up this year also. Hoped to try one of those cattle panel hoophouse type greenhouses. We are in a very windy area on the great plains and most people have trouble with conventional greenhouses blowing down or haul collapsing them. May YAH Bless
I’m getting a green house this year too!
We expanded this year and added a small greenhouse too.
@mallredtgpr I am thinking that a greenhouse is going to be very important as time goes on. May YAH Bless
@amberbelieves5535 yes, I am thinking a greenhouse is going to become very important as time goes on. May YAH Bless
We are enlarging our garden as well this year. Listen to Doug, grow your own food, preserve, save your seeds. God bless you Doug and Stacy! Our God is in control. ❤
Ordering my garden planner now. Thank you Doug for all you and Stacy do!
Thank you so much on the Clyde’s Garden Planner! We just now ordered ours. 😊
I wish me and my wife could live with y’all for year to learn everything you two do. Thanks for all the info.
Let's start a Homesteader Commune! It would most likely end up being its own town! Lol
It may seem daunting to grow your own food. But, it really isn't. Google tells all how to in your area. Don't like to read. Easy. CZcams ask and you will get. A little story. I was at Home Depot awhile back and these young married people didn't know how to install a toilet. So they asked me. I don't know why. But, I simply directed them to CZcams for step by step directions. Easy They went happily away.
Right! lol Same here.
Right we are doing laundry completely off grid with solar well and solar for our house. 55 gal. drum, sump pump, garden hose, y connector to washing machine
If you live near anywhere that has farms locally, you can likely volunteer for them (they might even offer to pay you as there aren't as many migrant farm workers anymore).
They'd love the help as much as you'd love the learning!
I really like your greenhouse! This will be my first year with a greenhouse, here in WI. Built from lumber off a deck we removed from the house, windows I sourced for free. We did purchase polycarbonate for roof and some siding. It CAN be done, friends! I've been expanding the vegetable garden every year and adding more pollinators to my flower gardens. Stay positive and take one step at a time. Thank you for encouraging all of us, Doug and Stacy!
I am an old gardener, but I want Clyde’s garden planner thank you so much Doug and Stacey
I love that you went through the Clyde’s Garden Planner. I got one and used it last year even though I was only able to start with containers. I didn’t realize it had a place that shows companion planting. I hope to add more this year!
Thanks for all you and Stacey do to encourage us!

You can do a lot with container gardening. I've gotten quite a few cherry tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, raspberries, and leafy greens out of pots. This year, I'm fixing to start with potatoes.
My grandpa had a victory garden In the city. He was a country boy Living in the city. It was hard to believe he could grow as much food as he did.
You both are such a blessing to so many. I got my Clyde's garden planner the other day. I am so excited to start our garden this year. We are bringing my grandparents farm back to life this year. They are long gone but the legacy will live on.
@OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY- YOU ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO SO MANY. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALL YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME. I NOW HAVE MY SON & HIS FAMILY WATCHING ALONG. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.
This will be my 3rd Spring having a garden. I have learned SO so much from you and Stacy❤. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤
For 8 years we lived in the city limits of a small town. We tilled up over half of our front yard and planted a garden right near the street. It was gorgeous and my neighbors loved it. They would slow down or even stop to admire my beautiful vegi garden. Of course I would share a little with each of them and they were thrilled.
We have been on a more self sufficient journey for a couple of years now! Absolutely love your videos, hoping to get fencing supplies soon so we can once again expand the garden. Last year my goal was to preserve at least 100 jars of food- whether through canning, dehydrating, or fermentation. I feel so blessed to have passed my goal! Y'all are awesome and Stacy's fermentation videos helped me so much. God bless.
Good for you! I usually cannot a large amount of what w
I produce on the homestead too. However, propane for the stove has gotten very expensive, so this year I will be doing a lot more fermenting and dehydrating in my sunshine dryers. May YAH Bless
I live in a farming community and no one has ever shown or told me if such a thing existed . Thanks for featuring this . Very helpful .
Exactly. In our town we can have 6 hens and no roosters. My neighbors still complained that I had a rooster, but its my hens laying eggs every day. When I got a rooster later my hens were more quiet and the only time he crowed was in the morning and at night when he was calling them into the coop. Other than that he made noise to warn when the neighbor's dogs were attacking my hens. But the complaints on the noise stopped when I did actually get my rooster.
Im glad you brought that up. I have a doctor note for emotional support chickens. Last time we got rid of chickens bcuz village asked. But in spring we are getting hens and will not comply, even if they sue us, we will stand strong. Pray for us.
Btw were the only town in county not allowed chickens
That's a great idea!
LOL! I love this! ❤
I ordered graden planner last year and passed them out at work. Trying to get people to grow. Thanks for the information. We all need to grow our own food and be prepared for the future!!
Great idea!
My garden planner will be here Monday and I'm so ready to stop trying to figure out when to plant this, that, and everything else myself. Thank you for your commitment to living free and for your generosity with your knowledge, experience, and giveaways. You and Stacy are setting an excellent example.. ~ Lisa
I got Clyde's planting guide two years ago.
Always have it on hand.Full of help.
Oh my goodness!! I caught you just as you uploaded your video!! Yes, I'm one who has no idea when to start my plants. I'd love this guide!! You're awesome to offer so much help! Thank you!! 💕

Doug and Stacy, I have to admit you two were responsible for getting me motivated 7 years ago! I come from a farming family, that as a young person I couldn’t get away from fast enough. You two opened my eyes to what has and is going to happen. It motivated me a lot! We have put in a garden, greenhouse, small orchard and small vineyard…plus chickens and rabbits. We are nowhere near producing what you are, but working hard on it. Just got out of surgery yesterday, and am eyeing my potatoes chitting with hopes I can get them planted next week. We are in zone 7A. May God Bless you for the wonderful things you do!!!🥰🙏
Wishing you get well soon, it can take a while to recuperate from surgery. So glad you appreciate farming now.
Just trying new "self-watering" garden containers for the first time this year.
We love growing our own food as much as possible.
We appreciate information from y'all.
Never heard of Clyde's Garden Planner!!! I placed my order, and looking forward to using that for our gardens this year, yay!!!🙏🏼💞💞💞 Thank you for all the information you and Stacy share!💖💖💖
We are trying to expand our garden for next year by using feeder pigs to plow the land this spring. We are on very heavy red clay, so anything to help the soil is needed. We have had our ducks in my garden this winter. We shall see how that works out this year! Already planning and starting my sweet potato slips!
we just expanded our garden my 200%....no more playing around, we going allllll innnn
Great way to naturally fertilize
A word of caution: growing root crops where pigs have been recently raised may have a disagreeable taste! It happened to old friends once.
@estherpalmer1917 I was thinking, that it would be sitting for a year before I use it? Do you think it would still have an off taste?
@@sonjafoust9154 From a hillbilly here way back up a 3600ft holler in NW NC with red clay: Hog waste is similar to human waste in that you don't want to apply it directly to a garden. Parasites and worms transfer easy between hogs and humans through waste. If you'uns are fixing on waiting a year before digging in a garden then you should be ok provided that garden spot gets full sun in the summer. Sun will break down a bunch of the bad stuff in the manure. Ducks and chickens don't have similar waste to humans/hogs so they're great for garden prep. It won't hurt to run a tractor rake, or disc it lightly (don't go deep) in mid-summer to break up the turds.
For whatever reason I've always had good luck with kennebec taters in clay. The only thing to watch for is that you don't pull your taters out of clay when it's wet as the dirt will stick to them. Pull your taters when it's dry. Growed out nigh 400lbs of taters last year. My daughter and I filled up 3.5 laundy baskets full. Still eating on them down in our root cellar.
Clyde's planner looks cool. Also our last dog was named Clyde. He too was a gentleman. We adopted him him during his golden years and his life had a good final chapter. Looking forward to getting another dog after we move onto our land later this year.
Ordered a six pack of Clyde's planner to share with the kids so they can get their victory gardens going on time, as well. Thanks for all you two do. My wife and I watch your stuff and seem to place orders accordingly.
Don't lose the faith Doug, Those that sell out should be purged or no longer patronized. It is with all of the tribe working together that we leave what is no longer of use and grow together as one. I love my planner. It really puts things in perspective for growing as well as the storm that is brewing and building. Your lamb is not the only part of the flock that is hungry, Thank you for feeding the cyber-touched flock here and in your heart! Love and Light!
