You need to take a blanket with you, so if you buy eggs, you wrap your eggs in the blanket before you put it in the sled and that'll cushion them. I'm protective more from the cold and also from the bumps and stuff from ridin.G with the snowmobile to keep them from breaking
I will say, that fence is way too short specifically over the winter. I had a short one like that around my strawberry patch. The snow completely covered it and a moose walked over it a couple times. Come spring it all had to be replaced as it was badly damaged.
Yeah we are overhauling it come Spring anyway. The cabin build took up so much time we switched from moose to dog fence for this summer. Next summer we'll finish the moose portion!
@beccanlevisalaska I totally get that! You all did great. We've owned our Alaska home for decades, so I totally understand. It's alot of work! I say that as I'm repainting all the scuffed trim, lol
Don't throw sawdust into the garden because you acidify the soil. Some plants don't like it, maybe that's why the carrots were so small. It would be better to use fertilizer, for example from under the chickens, you have to spread it now in autumn and dig up the garden in spring. Greetings from Poland
Barb and I have watched your videos ever since you moved to Alaska. We haven't made too many comments but watching this one we just had to make one. Becca, you're an awesome mother. Little Henry has seen more and done more then most children, in his short time on earth. Speaking of earth, My wife and I never laughed so hard when you were picking Potatoes. Henry had a hand full of rich soil in his hand. We both thought , "oh no, in a moment it's going to be in his mouth".😟😟 After that threat, Henry had a Potato vine , swing it around close to where you were kneeing. We thought you were going to get it in the back of your head. The whole thing was so hilarious and heart warming. It was also so great to see Henry standing up. He looked like he was dancing.❤❤Thanks for an awesome video. Congrats on the garden. We know you'll have an even better one next year👍👍. All the best and God bless🙏🙏.
When putting my garden to bed for the winter, my husband and I would put sticks and leaves threw the chipper. I would pile the chipped material in a pile in the garden, to form compose for the spring. At the time I started doing this years ago, we had 3 easter bunnies and I would mix the rabbit terds in with the compost. It was so rich I would get little red worms which made the compost richer. You are going to be surprised at how fast the leaves break down along with the wood chips. I love the baby crawling around in the garden. The best thing for baby is having mommy and daddy working together. I miss those days.
A restaurant would love your petite carrots. You did very well with the potatoes this year. Hint - the very little potatoes will germinate in the spring by themselves. I always found potatoes from the year before growing new a year later. Well done! You have a green thumb!
I have a doubt, whether you guys have washroom inside house..?? Will the drainage line get stuck ..??? How you buys get water for kitchen use as well..? Please explain I'm from India a tropical country
Well done becca with the harvest next year is gonna be much more you have done so well give yourself a pat on the back Henry is standing I thought to myself he's nearly ready to go won't be long he's so lovely nice video 👍❤❤❤👋
My understanding of a hugulkultcher garden is that it is not an instant garden, it grows with time as everything rots down as you add to eat each year, and normally put somewhere where you not going to ever move it. If you hold those staples with a pair of pliers it becomes a one person job without hitting your fingers in the process.
What a beautiful cabin you have built. Congratulations on the move in. On another Note, please be careful of the stairs they flex quite a bit and would hate to have something happen while carrying young man. Keep up all the great work.
Little tip on potatoes. You pile the dirt up as the potato grows and you cover up the new growth as it comes up 20cm high you cover and pile up dirt the more you do it the more potatoes you will get
