    I ran across an old video of yours from several years ago, you guys hadn't even started building the house yet....I had no idea that there were houses and other barns and silos on the property. You guys are amazingly hard workers and it shows in the way your property has transformed over the years!!!

      Jennifer Hendricksen, thank you for your comment. Usually when I find a channel that I like I binge watch all the stuff that had gone on before I found it. Somehow I didn't on this channel as I also did not know about "the before the house was built". Thanks to your comment I have just binged watched quite a lot of what went on before. I feel that it is well worth it as the "future plans" are discussed in length and I would say that 99% has been completed. So again thank you for posting

    Evan, @ 8:25 you are talking about pulling all the fabric in your quest to stop the weeds. I was thinking you can 1.leave it in place 2.pull the weeds 3.cover the area with a silage tarp until next season. Just a thought? Those onions look good! I like that rack you put together to hang and dry the onions! I like the effort you guys put into making everything work.

  • @angelaprovencher7150
    @angelaprovencher7150 Před 2 lety

    Just an idea for you . After you pull up the cloth and work the soil , before you lay the cloth back down , put cardboard down 1st to keep the weeds from coming up through the cloth . Eventually the cardboard will break down so it won't hurt the soil. You have the green thumb. I really love watching your garden growing.

  • @gurubhat2403
    @gurubhat2403 Před 2 lety +15

    Pete (of the 'Few Acres Farm' fame) uses the discarded cardboard box cardboards to cover the soil around the plants to prevent weeds from taking over. Gradually these cardboards decompose to become soil and help the growth of vegetables. Just an idea.

    • @kenthorsen4558
      @kenthorsen4558 Před 2 lety +2

    • @vickiemeisinger9632
      @vickiemeisinger9632 Před 2 lety +2

      Yes I was aware that Pete was using recycled cardboard boxes for around his garden plants and cover the soil to stop the weeds issues especially when you have dry summers the weeds seem to want to take everything over; that is Something I did not learn from Pete (using the cardboard boxes). My parents did not do that either except they use newspapers around zucchini plants and watermelon plants to give protection to the plant and to keep the vines above the ground more and to combat bugs as well as keep moisture in the ground when there’s throughout summers….. so, I took it a step further at some point in my life may be living in Kansas because it definitely it was different weather there then it was in Iowa.
      Regarding the garden paper you put down. You never can leave it in the same place from year to year. In fact I’m not even a fan of reusing it for the reason you just stated. It seems to be more issues than it’s worth to me anyway so I would pull it up and let it dry for a year….Hang it on the fence to dry and make sure you take it down because if you don’t it’ll blow to some other state in the southern wind gusts which seem to come up from who knows where at any given time… Then, I reused it in other projects besides my garden. I might use it in flower beds where The plants are going to be quite a ways apart or are used it where there was mulch or gravel in between shrubs and for children’s play areas and sandboxes and so forth. I didn’t find good luck in reusing it in my seed gardens because the amount of weeds far outweighed the strong produce plants!! For me, I don’t want to have to weed anymore than I have to in the garden where my produce is or my flowers are because I just don’t have that kind of time and even if I did I don’t want to spend my time pulling weeds when there is effective ways to avoid it!!!!! I really hate to dine with friends or family and they have half a dozen dogs at the Table begging for food or sitting on your feet because they’re waiting for someone to drop food and you can’t have an adult conversation because it’s all about the dogs. I loved😊♥️ everyone of my dogs and they were very smart and well trained well I love dogs but I enjoyed them and they gave me enjoyment and that meant that I did not have a bunch of untrained animals jumping up and begging and barking and being unruly in my home. I just don’t get why people are going to have dogs if they’re not gonna bother to train them. Enough said.
      I really liked your homemade drying racks for the onions. I imagine your wife will end up Making a rope of onions by braiding the grade in together… it’s a very beautiful look and it’s a space saver for sure. I’ll be interested to see what it is she decides to do❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
      I hope by now you’ve contacted the Ohio chicken location to replace your six baby chickens you did not receive. That doesn’t speak very highly of them although I realize mistakes can happen. And I do Think they’ll make it right by you.❣️❣️❣️

    You are so right Evan we all learn those lessons the hard way sometimes. And letting that garden go too long makes it 10 times as hard to reclaim - plus the weeds are even worse the next go around. But the potatoes and onions are looking good so the labor is paying off for you two. Rebekah's smile said it all 😉. Thanks for sharing the experience. 👍

    @dougc.3998 Před 2 lety

    Good video Evan. When I was growing up weeding the garden was the boy's job, that would be me. Mom and Dad would plant the garden and I would help and then it was my job to keep it weeded. They never asked me if I wanted too either. Haha. Then it was easy the first month or so, but if I didn't keep up it was the worst drudgery you can imagine. We enjoyed the things from the garden because back in the 60's and 70's most of our vegetables and fruits were canned or frozen in the winter, imported produce was too expensive. the bananas and oranges and other citrus fruit was all that was fresh that we could buy. We stored apples and tree nuts we picked in the end of summer and fall. Everything else was preserved, to this day I would rather have fresh fruit and veggies because of the low cost now compared to then. The other thing that I remember was sneaking extra stuff from the garden on to the neighbors back steps so they would have to preserve it instead of Mom. They did the same to us, so everybody had lots to choose from the pantry in the winter.

My aunt Ellie Sandra said potatoes harvested by hand taste better. She was probably right. You could still attack some with your shovel.

    Evan, What happened to the pond! That bubbler thing you installed last year must not be working.

    It's been so hot and dry here in South Texas that the mosquitos are carrying water bottles.

    That's a lot of work for onion drying, lol. I just throw them on the basement floor and let the AC unit dry them. 😁😁

    Candy is the only onion variety that I'll grow. They hold all winter if properly stored and cured.
