I've NEVER Planted so Early! Will it work? | February Garden and Homestead Life 

WOW all your 4 kids work so hard and I especially take my hat off to your lovely daughter who works really hard and does not seem to be afraid of trying everything and seems to be quite strong for a little girl. Well done guys, keep up the good work.

Wow, again, both you and Cam patiently teaching your kids. The wonderful thing is that you’re not only teaching them the task at hand, but about life, working as a team, and planning and reaching a goal. Loved Cam’s, “I love you. You make me happy.”

Your videos are so refreshing. Thank you for not posting everyday, or even filming everyday, thank you for not just talking with your face in the camera the whole time, but giving nice shots of you and the fam working, thank you for showing things that work and don't work, thank you for making shorter videos. I really like your style and I hope you keep it up!

KEEP HIM!! ITS HARD TO FIND A MAN WHO IS HAPPY TO HELP AND SMILING ABOUT IT TOO!!!

Love how the kids are involved in the process!! Great parenting!!

The way you teach and encourage your children is so lovely.

The carrots in the end was a rewarding pay off. Sweet video! Great editing.

I love how calm and great parents you and your husband. The Kids smiles and laughter are great to hear.

One thing I noticed when you were preparing for planting at the start of the video, is how much better your soil is looking than when you planted your very first ever beds.... all that mulching and manuring is sure paying off! Love your channel - I've just been back through your playlist watching the odd few I missed. Have now watched them all. Please keep on posting!

I really love how the whole family is involved... It's like a family business thing and everyone is working together as a team... What better way to raise kids🥰🥰🥰

If you mulch your carrots with straw, it is so much easier the fork it aside and get to the carrots without prying up the frozen ground. Winter carrots are the best! Even grilled with a little BBQ sauce😉 if they can be prayed out. Another tip, for watering seed trays, the pump sprayers are great and they come in qt, 1/2 gl, and a few larger sizes, some even have a shoulder sling so the weight (2-3 gl) is not so cumbersome. It makes quick work to water seedlings without the hand spasming from the action of the spray bottles. I have a few of them and the spray can be adjusted from misting to a jet, the wand ones are really nice when you have multiple rows & trays to do. I keep a couple around with just plain water, a low strength liquid fertilizer and a stronger weed tea fertilizer that is a really great mineral (micro & macro nutrients) feed foliage spray. It is so great watching your family work like living partners, each doing their part to sustain and nurture each other. Keep up the beautiful life!

I have just found your videos, watched many already, love them, not too long, but full with interesting things, your garden, house , home, you both and children work like a team! I love gardening. Living in Oregon. Recently watching Simple living Alaska channel, Mayberry that's how RU-vid recommended your videos. Keep up the good videos. Best wishes to your family and your garden plants!

A brave soul you are to work in that wind. I can do cold, but cold and wind....ummm NO. Thanks for another great video.

A trick, our late uncle showed us when we transplanted trees, was to add a hat-full of oats into the whole before covering the roots up.. 40 years later on and they are still growing strong! We are zone4b.

Farm life looks so better than living in crowded city.

I love the music you use. It’s very Pride and Prejudice. Very relaxing to watch!

It'll be months before we're planting in the garden! Just put out a video of my garden prep. Cheers from Minnesota!

This is wild to me… we still have several feet of snow on the ground!

Hello from Canada! Thanks for the video!! You guys are always on the go!! I hope you sleep good at night🤣🤣🤣what a wonderful family .I love the way you teach your kids about every thing! It’s priceless!!🥰

I love all of your videos. You have such a beautiful family and your gardens are amazing. Can't wait to watch how this year's garden produces for you ❤️

Hi folks! I'm from Croatia and i'm just starting to prune my orchard. Was pruning whole morning today (even though it's sunday, but i'm working tomorrow so...) but when i see you nice folks doing it so easy and with pleasure i just want to stop by and give you some hand... just keep the good job! Love you all from Croatia! Stay safe!!

Throw a straw bale … literally the whole bale , don’t break up , over the bed of carrots. Mulched and not so frozen , easy middle of winter 🥶 sowing. Maybe even throw clear plastic overtop to help with warmth??? 🤷‍♀️👍😉

Starting the spring crop is tricky sometimes. You never know if you will get a late freeze. Spring is here in South LA. Going to have temps in the eighties this weekend.

Gosh you guys are such a pleasure to watch. I always learn something new and feel so inspired. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️

I'm here in N W Arkansas. My All in one almond has flowered but died in the cold snap last year. The Hall's Hardy almond made one almond last year. I'm very encouraged. Hall's Hardy is a bitter almond so the nuts have to be processed to be edible. I just planted a couple of cold hardy Ukrainian almonds. Hopefully they will do well.

Love watching your content!

This video is so helpful especially for those who are planning to start homesteading 😊

It always amazes me when I find a new “ my kinda person” on you tube. Thank you for your videos so far. Love it ! Keep ‘em coming! Zone 5a so not quite where u r in planting out things , but very similar growing styles. ❤️👍

I love to garden. Learning a lot from watching you guys. Thank you.

Have you heard of Greenhouse in the Snow - a gentleman in Nebraska grows fruits like citrus and figs in his Geothermal greenhouse. Thought you might be interested, as you mentioned the Caterpillar Tunnel is temporary until you build your greenhouse. Thanks so much for your inspiring channel. I know your family life is most important, and we all appreciate you taking the time to share what you learn with us.

I can't wait to start planting. I really enjoyed this video.

Your husband is so sweet! Love your channel!

I love your videos, we actually had your white chicken chili for dinner again last night. So good! Please keep the videos coming we love them here in Alaska!

I enjoyed this so much. You are good parents.

I love your videos!! They calm me when I need it.

That seed starter thing is such a nifty tool! And much more sustainable than buying little cardboard things every year!

Your kids are so lovely!!! So helpful!!!!!

3:50 I love the look of your house! Beautiful!

Thanks for posting! I am inspired

I have a halls hardy almond in PA zone 6 that i planted 3 years ago! it was about 8ft tall when I planted it and now its about 20 feet! it produced a lot last year and i'm sure this year will be even better!!

Hooray for another video! Families FTW ❤️

Such an inspiration

That sounded like one icy carrot hitting the bowl! We still have ice from that storm! The scissor doors look great. It’ll be nice to keep the draft out.

Love this refreshing content! 💕

I read in a gardening book (Landscaping with Fruit by Lee Reich, I think) about planting fruit trees that bud early on the shady side of a hill. That way they will be slower to break dormancy and, hopefully, miss any late spring freezes. I thought it was helpful information, especially here in the Midwest USA where it can go from 70F one day and sleeting the next.

Que família maravilhosa!!!! Parabéns 👏 amei o vídeo 😍❤️✨🌹

Ahh I had begun to suspect you might be a neighbor.... Just wanted to.say that I have been enjoying the channel. Hope you and yours are well

My great grandma grew almonds, walnuts, and pecans in Arkansas. They took a long time to fruit(about a decade) but when they started it was a LOT of produce. Worms really like the almonds, so I would keep a watch out for that. I hope this helps!

Love love your video. I’m getting my onions started but am having a hard time with my yellow ones germinating. I’m taking a deep breath and going to put more seeds in the tray. I am hoping to grow all winter long where I live as well. You make me look like a lazy gardener. 😄 I would enjoy watching videos of you doing some fermenting projects. I don’t do much of that. I did can some slaw from a recipe on another RU-vid channel that was fantastic. I only have 1 jar left.

I"m in IL and never tried planting anything in my garden over the winter. I think I am missing out. Nice job. 👍 🙌👏👏

Wow, didn't realise you were in Arkansas! It's like all the homesteading channels are in Arkansas, then for some reason they all move to North Carolina. Trying to find land close to central AR right now but the prices have gone insane.

Tango celery is the best !! It grows so well even up here in zone 5 Quebec Canada

Your vegetable garden is amazing and you must put a lot of effort into keeping it going single handed. Do you guys follow the no dig method aka Charles Dowding or Richard Perkins ??

I enjoy your videos and watching how you're gardening. What kind of row cover do you use over the onions?

So, you’re in AK, right? It seems like you get more snow than we do in MA.

10:33 , not gonna lie , but they look like brownies 😅 PS : It's just fun watching the plantations. Pretty Soothing to the eye.

I was just wondering have you thought about or what your opinion is on using burlap as a weed deterrent? I know it is organic and will compost on its own after a few seasons.

The veggie boys use some type of they call it plastic but it's not plastic it's made out of corn. Something to think about

I'm sorry, I can't resist. But it appears that you found the Implement to take care of that 200-pound octopus that's been haunting your garden. Best of all to yourself your husband and your wonderful children

I saw a show a good few years ago & I learned that if you put the clods/sods upsidedown, the grass & roots die & become worm food. And we all know that worms are good people.

Becky, you inspire me. What usda zone are you?

I'm wondering if you make your own apple juice? If so can you please make a video about the process you use.

Have you considered storing yor roots in a clamp?

You are happy family! Training the kids so well ! Why do you shake all the soil from the new fruit tree pot?? You soil is too hard and try! Will the young tree’ s bare roots survive?

wow, where do you live that you can work on the field at the end of January?

If you can work the ground , it hardly matter ....better too early than too late , give time for the buried plants to settle without insect ,a big variable is the depth , too deep sound obvious but it is not for young trees and bushes , a vital factor is that they be fully winter dormant , if they still have too much sap and there is a hard frost , it's bye bye

👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻

You guys should definitely check out Charles Dowling. No dig gardening he will save you so much time and effort

You need to get an augers, hopefully would be easier

Would you mind sharing where you buy your fruit trees?

Can you make a tutorial on how to make preserved spaghetti sauce :)

Did the onions sprout 🤔

😚🤗

Where are your range and refrigerator from?

Do you host or have you considered being a host with WWOOF? Just curious!

What area of Arkansas are you in, we are in north Louisiana.?

Would you share where you got your hat?

I hope you add a subtitle

Where are you located?

hi

First!

My fat thumb hit dislike, I fixed it but in case you get notified lol it was an accident! 🤦‍♀️🤣
