    Yay for spring, all things green, lots of seeds, and all new life! The guardian tree is beautiful, and definitely alive and thriving. Katie, I’m always excited to see your flowers and garden grow, it’s always so beautiful when everything is in full bloom. Greg, leave her alone about how she seeds, she’s fine, and the chickens will probably eat half of them anyway. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Love you guys!❤

  • @RobSharp-wo5qj
    @RobSharp-wo5qj Před 15 dny +5

    Place is looking great. With the wild flowers growing along the bank will help with erosion and look so pretty. As long as the chicken doesn’t eat the seeds. Hope Katie feels better soon.

    Should have mentioned the Guardian tree. Trees do seem to have a voice. A sound recordist fitted a needle microphone to a tree in a U.K. television documentary and recorded the tree which seemed to be singing. It was thought to be the sound of moisture being ingested and spread up the tree’s ‘capillary’ system. Large trees such as the Guardian take up many many gallons of water a day. Trees seem to have differing sounds. Thought you may be interested. Regards, Phil, Suffolk, U.K.🇬🇧

    Can't wait for all the planting you did Katie. I've never seen a spreader as that. I planted grass seed but I germinated it in 5gal bucket with water and spread it with new lawn fertilizer. Beats the watering and bird eating. Nice to see all the animal kids on yall place. Katie get well!

  • @eliinthewolverinestate6729

    We went with food plot clover instead of grass. Helps with fixing nitrogen and we have bees and fruit trees.

  • @mlutke4067
    @mlutke4067 Před 15 dny

    I like the filled & wider area next to the house. I think Katie’s method of planting will work as long as you thin the veggies once sprouted. I think we should have a contest.. Greg’s garden patch… methodical & spaced, vs Katie’s wild fling patch & see which bears the most/best veggies😂😂 sorry Katie caught a bug☹️ nothing worse than Spring/Summer colds. Nice she has a great mate to nurse her back to health. 😎😷

    You might want to check on the wood chips and using them close to the house or buildings. It's not composted and though it'll keep the weeds down since it draws oxygen from the soil as it decomposes, it'll also draw carpenter ants.

    One thing you could have done is mix a lot of grass seed in with the wild flower seeds...if the wild flowers are like most they only live one year also if you have much pine needles in that chipping You chipped not much will grow in that. Look at the bottom of a big pine tree how much grass grows under the tree, just lots of pine needles. Hope fully things will grow for You..any way looks good.

Every garden bed I've made had to have black dirt brought in to make it manageable. I love the smell of dirt after a rain, so earthy. I hope your wild flowers are abundant this summer, you can never have too many flowers. Feel better soon. Peace Love Happiness 💖💖
