Your garden looks beautiful!
One suggestion is to extend the cardboard and wood chips about a foot outside the garden fence to help keep weeds out.
The reaction to grandma and grandpa was awesome 😍😍
I can’t ever get that reaction out of my kids 🤣
Your hard work was well invested! It looks so good!!!!!
Looking FANTASTIC! I’m so excited for your!! May your garden be beautiful and bountiful!!💚💚🙏🙏💚💚
Thank you, Sydney! It’s been a lot of work but I think it will be worth it!
Awesome video, I can’t wait to see more!
It’s looking amazing! All your hard work is paying off
Thank you!!
Love it. That gate really sets the beauty to it. Good luck on that mulch. Looking forward to seeing it grow.
Thank you, Linda!
Your greenhouse is beautiful!
Watching your vlog for some inspiration.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! If you have any questions about it, I’m an open book!
Excellent looking garden. You helped me think of an idea for my garden..
Awww! That looks GREAT! It will be gorgeous when everything is popping up green and lush. The earwigs would have freaked me out a bit, too. So good you have ‘community’ to call on for these little issues, and happy you shared the problem/solution with us for future reference ... I’ll be tucking that info in my own back pocket!
Yes! Couldn’t do it without all the advice and help from friends!
Wow your garden is looking amazing now. The green house looking good in front of the garden area 😍can’t wait to see you planting. Beautiful 🌷 Awesome update. Can’t wait to see your next video.👍👍Have a wonderful day. See you soon. ❤️
Thank you for those kind words!
Everything looks great!!! Good job!!!
Thank you!
🌻 Wow everything is looking amazing. We are also working on our greenhouse garden this week as well. And just planted our in ground garden. Blessings from our little homestead to yours.🌻
Thank you! Good job getting your garden planted! I can’t wait to get ours going!
I’m also getting my in ground garden ready and thinking of fencing options. Love the cattle panels, I might do the same! Thanks for sharing 💚🌱
You’re welcome! Hope it was helpful!
Looks great I hope you find another cute gate to lead to the greenhouse 👌
Yes! I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for a good deal!
Looks great, Lauren. 👍🏻
Thank you, Amanda!
Looks great!
Thanks, Tricia!! 🥰
Loving your videos! Your garden looks wonderful!
Thank you!
Good video thanks for sharing and yes Your wings are a problem the insect tackle it early good luck God bless you and yours.
I like your happy music!
Thank ya!
Looks great 😊
Thank you, Todd!!
Thanks to your videos we decided when we build our window greenhouse, the side windows will be panels that open out/up and table tops that can slide in and outside
Excellent idea!!!
What pretty flowers 🙂
Thank ya!
great video 👍 Blessings ❤️
Once again like that your keeping it real! 🤪 I gain and give helpful tips on Facebook groups I’m sure your areas has a FB group. Row by Row is another source on FB (Hoss Tools) is a good one! Our garden size is close to yours we used straw between our 30” beds much cheaper/easier to get. Cut our first heading lettuce yesterday Zone 6A. Relax and grow food!
I do like to use straw. I typically use it to mulch around my plants but may try it for walkways too!
For moving them outside, my first though was buying a skinny/tall shelf from Amazon and then moving that shelf with a dolly. You’d need the shelves skinny enough for the door, but I was thinking like a catering company. They roll their trays to their vans. Not sure the dirt would allow you to do that, but a dolly sure would! :)
And I feel you. Every morning/evening I am moving my plants from the lights to/from the patio because we are still sometimes having nights below 45. It’s a pain!
Good idea! Need to look into those!
Looks FABULOUS..
Thanks, Kim!
@@BerkeleyFarms you are welcome.. can't wait to see what you grow!
My Family is from Wynne Arkansas …I love your channel
Thank you for watching!!!
One of our local firefighters has a tree trimming service. I can get as much free wood chips as I want from him, delivered. Just be careful that it’s not a diseased tree they are cutting down. Also ask your county for who they contract with to trim trees, then contact that company. Just a few suggestions
We actually just found a service that delivered to us! It was like hitting the jackpot.
Hi there one suggestion that has worked great for us here in Eastern Ontario. Reach out to your local hydro crews, landscapers and tree removal guys. Tell them all that you are offering a place for them to dump their woodchips for free. Play a little reverse phycology with them. Worked great for us
New subscriber. I'm surprised how your channel never showed up on my feed. Love your garden and the gorgeous greenhouse. Did you get it built or did you buy? My barren garden setup is similar to yours. Zone 7b as well and have a fenced 1 acre plot for gardening. I got a ton of aged horse compost and was going to mix it to the tilled land. But many say that I'll need more organic materials. What else did you add to your soil besides the compost and what were your results? Also how did you water? Did you set up a drip irrigation system or hand water?
Just found your channel. Great content!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
They are not cheap but you could look into conveyor rollers. They are portable so you could use them for seedlings and when you are harvesting the market garden
Such a good idea, Samuel!
Flowers give a nice color
I agree! Hoping to plant many flowers this year!
Omg 😲 all 9f those seedlings!
I know 😆 I’m ready to not be responsible for all of them.
great job! maybe, don't take the flats back/forth for hardening-off ; put a frost-cloth over top, or two/three layers based on how much you have, and would they survive that without major setbacks? you could try that... good luck! nice garden!
Your husband is a trooper lol
Call around your local tree services, I get big tree truck loads of mulch for free. Looking great. I use the same patio heater in my high tunnel, works great on low. Happy Homesteading
Oh I never thought Of that! Will definitely be looking into it! Thank you!
Love your garden! I’m curious why you didn’t include the greenhouse in the fenced area? I’m going to need a fence around a garden area and am going back and forth about fencing the greenhouse in with it 😅
For now, I don’t have anything planted around the greenhouse and, when I do, I don’t foresee an issue with dogs messing with anything around the greenhouse BUT they have surprised me before 😆
Hello Lauren and Tyler your garden is starting to look beautiful. Do you have any other children besides Knox and Tucker.? Do you have any animals besides your dog. I'm. Looking forward to seeing your content since I have found your U channel. God Bless you and Tyler and your family from a new viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
We just had our third little boy in March :)
My deer would jump right over that fence, do you have any deer issues or did you need to add height? Garden looks beautiful!!
Moving trays in and out is the worst! I don't have a greenhouse so I have to move my trays from inside the house, (it's hard enough on my back & its even more difficult with a 2 year old that is constantly trying to help carry trays 🥵) I would love to figure out a better system! It's nice on weekends at least when my husband or 8 y.o. can help! But I couldn't imagine having as many as you! For YEARS I had 2 very generic fluorescent grow lights (1 in each shelf 😆) and I would have to take all of my trays outside every day to supplement the light. Last year I finally invested in a couple better grow lights & then this year I invested in even more since I'm growing on a much larger scale for the cut flower garden. It's so worth the investment when you think about all the time (& back pain) it's saving you! I had 8 yards of compost delivered that ended up being a lot lower quality than usual, so I used a metal rake and raked out a bunch of the larger pieces of wood & stuff into the walkways. But contact chipdrop. They have places all over the world where you can get them free!
Hardening off might just be my least favorite chore! I’ll def look into chipdrop!
@@BerkeleyFarms I didn't look it up for a long time because I thought "there's probably not one where I live" but there is!
Beautiful you need some sunflowers 🌻 lol
I actually just sowed a few sunflower seeds this week!
I decided to film my garden this year. Its just a traditional garden with lots of grass but most things did well.
Great! That’s all that matters!
How about a stretcher/slide style board. Place a small piece of wood at the bottom to keep them from actually sliding. Drag them out on the stretcher? I feel the pain just thinking of it. lol
Good idea!
How did you tear up your ground? We are dealing with a ground that's never been worked before and the grass roots are killing us.
I love your garden !!! It looks awesome !
Thank you!
Have u tried Searcy Municipal....something something. Maybe the road dept? Supposedly they have all the chips u want. Just take a trailer. Free. May not have a lot bc of the the time of year tho.
I have not heard of them! Will definitely check them out!
Earwigs. Ok, I'm going to have to look those up. lol
Yep! I haven’t noticed them causing any damage to my garden though.
Try your electric company to see it they have free wood chips from tree trimming etc.
Great idea! Thank you!
Whispering Willow just had a video about using a hardening off table! That might help??
Yes! I was actually at her place last weekend and took some notes on her table 😉
I most definitely took some notes too!! Haha
Check at your LOCAL city & county 'yards' some of THEM have a place where THEY drop off wood chips and logs limbs and such.
Good advice! We actually just found a local tree service that is going to drop us some soon!
Chip drop is where u get free wood chips if your area participates.
Do you have a gate/entryway from greenhouse door right into garden?
I do! It’s just a cattle panel gate but will make it easier access to greenhouse
Do you grow eggplant? If so, I would like to see how you grow and transplant the seedlings. The garden looks great. Good to see your husband in the video. That man’s workin like a borrowed mule, you all did a great job together.
I’m actually not planning to grow eggplant this year. Grew it last year and didn’t have great success. We also don’t eat a lot of eggplant. And yes, he is a very worker!!
@@BerkeleyFarms Yeah....not everybody likes eggplant. The name “eggplant “ puts a lot of people off ...it just sounds unappealing. The French call it Aubergine meaning “purple” , sounds much better to me,lol.
Be careful with those earwigs. I had a ton in my garden last year that almost killed everything, luckily I got to them in time and only lost a few plants. I ended up putting traps out that helped significantly. I would do that before you plant along with the nematodes, because earwigs love seedlings, especially if you direct sow, they will kill a sprout as soon as it comes up overnight. for my traps, i put a shallow bowl out at night with a few inches of beer and a layer of olive oil (cheap from costco) on top. they are attracted to it, and fall in and cant get out. in the morning, i strain out the earwigs and feed them to the chickens.
Thank you for the idea! Will definitely give it a try!!
How much compost did you need?
good friend👍
Thank you!
Earwigs love to nest in ears of corn. Be careful if your planting any. It looks great though!!
Oh good to know!
Have you tried Chip Drop?
Ask your local tree companys. They dump yard after yard at my place for free. Fire wood too
I envy those of you who have yards to plant in. Do you all have a wagon or wheelbarrow
We use a wheelbarrow
@@BerkeleyFarms o good..
Moving those trays sucks so bad, I got some rolling shelves but they probably wouldn't work well on grass
Love the idea of rolling shelves!
✔️👀
Oh dear, I was bit by a centipede about an inch long. As an adult, albeit petite, it made me very sick. I can't remember details, but I spent the rest of the day on the couch. Benedryl and forced rest. I hate them now.
Oh man! That sounds terrible.
@@BerkeleyFarms Lol... indeed
I've messaged tree trimming services and I've gotten free wood chips from them.
Good idea!
Hello really enjoying your videos. Epic homesteading just uploaded a video about a seedling table on wheels, thought it might be of interest. :)
Going to check that out!
Should have put cardboard or news papers down to keep weeds down under your growing beds ... hamster bedding
We did...mostly. If I’m being honest, we ran out and I was too impatient to get more. Guess I’ll be weeding a little extra this year 😂
@@BerkeleyFarms lol
So complicated !!!
How to get rid of Garden Pest tell her that you hear the phone ringing.
Anyone who believes and calls on the name of Jesus is forgiven his sins, because He is God who took human form and offered Himself as a sacrifice for your sins. Watch for the imminent appearance of Satan on earth where he will impersonate Jesus. Jesus was eating at Simon's house (Simon was a leper whom Jesus had healed) a few days before His crucifixion when a woman arrived with a box of priceless ointment and anointed Him with the contents. The disciples thought the woman was crazy because she could have sold the ointment and given the money to the needy. She had anointed him for burial, Jesus said, and he commanded that what he had done be reported so that she would be remembered wherever the gospel was preached.
What a waste of time. City slicker garden. Real gardening is real simple. Imagine commercial growers doing that. The price of food would be 10 times what it is now. LOL
