Hurry hurry! 

Pardon my disheveled appearance, i was in a hurry! Stay tuned for an update on the fish I collected as well as breaking down the shrimp tubs. I will also have some more outdoors content as well as a fishroom update coming out in the near future.

Awww the tubs that started the entire trend!! Also… do I see gray on the sides of your hair? Me too!!! Twins!!!! Haha

Disheveled just means you've been hard at work, and disheveled or not, it's always good to see a video from you. So sorry to hear about the damage to your house. Seems like the last 4 years or so have been really really rough with one major thing after another. Sending love and hugs, and the feverent hope that things ease up and smooth out for the next few years. 👍❤👍

I was beginning to wonder what you were up to. Sorry to hear that Ida caused so much damage to your house. Tubs nor filming would have been my priorities either. Stay strong my friend.

Any content is appreciated and looking forward to the next one 😎

Oooh I'm so happy! I get to have by birthday morning coffee in the company of Rachel!! YES!!!

Glad to see you back and I love all your content.

Absolutely love the summer tubbing videos and garden updates! Sorry to hear of Ida's damage, best wishes from the UK 💞

Ahh, racing Mother Nature and trying to guess if her next move will be friend or foe. Even though I left my denison barbs in the front entryway, their tub temp got down to 61°. They are fine & now in the house but what a difference 4 feet away and a closed inner door makes. I also need to replace 2 panels in my greenhouse roof where I accidently broke through with my snowshovel this spring. Can't wait to see your shrimp results.

Good to hear from you again Thank you for sharing and we all miss seeing you on RU-vid. Much love and hugs.

Use all the clippings from the tubbing plants to cover over your bog grden on top of the hay and pine needles and burlap.

It is so good to see you again, the season is over I hope your home is back to a living condition, and the basement is as back to normal as possible. I missed you Racheal. 💕👋🏻🙏🏼

Great to see you back! I always enjoy the summer tub videos you make, even though I've seen all of them multiple times. I've broken down my tubs a week or 2 ago, and the yield for my M. kubotai and D. erythromicron was insane! The fry are too small to see what species they are at the moment, but I easily got 50-75 fry from maybe 10 adult fish in total. My challenge for next year is to keep the thread algae in check, since they explode in my tubs, smothering everything else. My tubs are only 20G, so it is not hard to quickly cover everything. Regardless, it is still só much fun and a treat to look at in the summer.

Oh man! Sorry to hear of Ida's damage. Nice to see a video from you though 💕👍

I was so happy to see this vid! I am also going to finish breaking down my tub pond this weekend. I needed the refresher. You inspired me to try summer tubbing. I’ve been happy with my first year results with the plants. I will see this weekend how I did with the fish. But it was so fun, it was worth it even if I don’t get a big haul of fish! I put in golden white clouds and pygmy sunfish. Last weekend I collected the white clouds and 4 mystery fry that now appear to be least killifish… Not sure how that happened but I think maybe they came in with some plant orders. Anyway, thank you for all the inspiration over the past few years! Looking forward to your next video, as always.

brought my fish in 2 weeks after they went outside, got way cold and rainy in June down to the '40s and gave up.

Those tubs looked so beautiful!! So many plants, wow 😲 I am so glad I found your channel!!

So glad to see your vid!! I completely understand about running late, it's a way of life for me. Sent you a DM on Twitter with pics of some of my new mini orchids in bloom. Finally getting rain here.. woohoo! Looking forward to your up coming vids and wewd love to see anything you'd like to post. Thanks Rachel for the update, Take Care... Doorbell.. new orchids just arrived. Later....

I’m in the same climate zone (New York). I just brought my turtles in last weekend. I left the ponds set up in case we get a warm spell and I decide to give them some more pond time. Turtles are much easier to move in and out.

Wow, you've had some busy times indeed. I'm so sorry to hear about the damage to your house, but really glad your family came through it safe. I'm looking forward to some more videos, but take your time and do them the way you want. ::hugs::

😲So sorry to hear about your hurricane damage. Thank you for the video.

Holy shit Rachel, Ida took part of your roof and wall! Uuuuuhmmmm yeahhhh, don't worry about apologizing for not making any videos for a while. Were you and your kids all ok, aside of the trauma from the storm? How did all the tanks in the basement do? I hope everything is ok now and that the damage to the house has been repaired. Please Keep Safe, Matt - Toronto, Canada

Tubbing is my favorite content !

Sorry about the hurricane, what a pain! I'm in San Francisco where we rarely get a freeze. I'm going to see how my 40g tub does with a couple heaters and a cover, as I added some swordtails to my white clouds, BF wanted something he could see 😉 All inspired by you Ms. Rachel! Wish me luck!

I'd like to see the process for overwintering your plants

I just pulled everything in an ASAP rush 2 days ago At least all my warmer fish lol always last min lol Always show tubbing begging to end

Always love to see new content. Thank you.

I sure miss your fish content.

Good to see you back!

Very happy to see a new video. Was outside getting my pitcher plants out of my pond I keep them in the Stream of my pond this will be the fourth year of overwintering them have a great day looking forward to the shrimp video think I might try keeping shrimp.

Definitely want more summer tub videos! Thanks for everything!

I have always liked your summer tubbing videos. Please don't stop making them.

Hey Rachel, I too have gone through some life changes that took me away from the aquarium hobby for a long time. I'm now just getting back into everything with the same level of passion I once had. I've also enrolled in a Horticulture-Food and Farming program, finishing up semester 1 now. I just wanted to tell you that your videos have inspired me so much throughout the years, and your videos are a larger part of what drove me to the college program I chose. I've been able to quit the job I hated and work on the school grounds in their greenhouse and aquaponics room! I wish you all the best in future adventures, and wish I was closer to you as I'd happily assist you with your aquariums and plants. And I'm sure I'd learn a lot too!

Love to see you back at lovely lady. Sure miss seeing you

Awesome to see you posting a video, it's been a minute, sorry about your house sounds like a real headache

Interesting content per usual. I hope I speak for everyone: no need to apologize! So sorry to hear about your wall, roof, and basement! Sounds like a crazy time! Take care!

i learn so much from your channel. i did my first tub last year because i watched your content multiple times. keep posting whatever makes you happy and i will keep learning and trying new stuff!

Rachel, I will watch any videos that you post! Keep up with the good work, but keep taking care of yourself!

All that happened and still had the motivation to power through. 🙏🙏🙏

Sorry to hear about the hurricane damage. I’m sure it’s been a headache for you. But I can’t wait for the new content! Hope you’re doing well!

so sorry to hear about the damage done to your house from the hurricane! it's been a rough couple of years huh? for everyone really... here's to 2022 as a start to good luck, good times, and love!

Sorry to hear about your house flooding. Thanks for taking the time to post a video. Looking forward to seeing how the fish did in the tubs.

Great seeing you! Don't you wish we could time-lapse through the icky parts of life ?I sure do!

I’ve really procrastinated tearing down my tubs, too. The plants still look good, but if I put it off too much longer it’s going to be cold and miserable!

Looking great Rachel good to see again!!! 🤗😘🤗😘

We miss and love you, Rachel! I hope your house gets in order soon and glad you're safe!

Times like this is when I tell myself don’t serve too much on my plate, just enough for me to handle

For those that love this hobby, this is not work, it's pleasure to do it when you love it, that's how it is, right?

Lost-An-'Interior'-WALL!!!??? >(*~*)< 'Nasty'.

Hey, amazing to get the notification to say you had uploaded a new video, made my day and put a big smile on my face, so thank you Rachel. Hope you have managed to repair the damage to your house. Looking forward to seeing what you collected from your summer tubes. Stay safe 🥰X

Please produce your summer tub break down

As another comment said any content is much appreciated. Last year I left my floating baskets in my goldfish pond. The all came back just as great as the previous year. I will overwinter my floating pitcher plant basket as you do yours. Take care of yourself. 😊

I’m glad I didn’t put fish out this year. I missed seeing them out there but it was so much easier to tear down (I’m further north). Unfortunately not having fish led to caddisfly larvae taking over. Boy they did a number on the submerged plants. I think the perennials will pull through though but my waterlily tubers did not grow as much as I wanted them to as a result. They’re all tucked in for the winter now and I’m hoping they’ll do fine. My black magic taro got the special treatment and I’ve potted it to grow indoors with my tropicals. Looking forward to enjoying that plant through the winter

That's a lot of work. You must love it to labor so much.

Poor caterpillar! He gets stepped on!

We missed you, please take care of yourself!

Thanks for the video

Good to see and hear you again…..🤗

Yes! Show us again 😃

Do you just overwinter enough to restart the plants like starters or do you grab as much as possible to get headstart the following year???? Your awesome Rachel I've been watching for a long time and learning just want to tell you that you are so cool and awesome!!!! Hugs and respect!!!!!

Always good to see you

I love all of your videos!

I can't believe summer tubbing is over ....summer flew by to fast !! Have a great day ! 😊♥️

💚💚💚💚

Good to see you!

👍

👍

good

Omg same...

SO sorry to hear re your house/yard damage! Good luck w/fixes! I saw a summer post, and commented, so I know it's been hectic! So,sorry! Sorry if I'm asking a redundant question but we've had unexpected warmth yesterday and today and I've got tomorrow too, to finish breaking down my 1st failed summer tub project (if you seee my other comment re my badly broken foot that's why but luckily hadn't put the fish in)...so, question. is it foolish to risk putting plants from out there into my aquariums? I've just got soo much guppy grass I hate to waste it. Thanks again for all of your great videos and good luck w/the house!

I want to watch the whole process over Again

awesome

CAT!

Finally

Always nice to see your videos, sorry you had such a mess with the hurricane. That is a huge pile of plant material, do you compost it or use it for anything else? I'm in the process of building a patio pond for next year using almost all used materials, the only thing new will be pumps and plumbing. I'm in south Georgia and plan to add guppies in the spring.

Season up here in Winnipeg almost went as long as yours this year lol. Only Got our first real frost couple days ago

I want to be you when I grow up.

I was wondering, have you tried growing lotus plants in your tubs? Ever since seeing the seed pods in the various botanical mixes I've been intrigued. It sounds like they shouldn't be too different from the lilies but I'm curious to hear your opinions and experiences.
