Hi Becky.My husband and I are farming in New Zealand. We are facing different from yours challenges, but I love your videos and it is so comforting to know that there are like-minded people on another side of the planet. Keep it up 😉.
We LOVE our viewers from NZ and Australia!! When we are in the off season/winter, you guys are just starting to plant. So fun to see that! We dream of visiting New Zealand some day, and just running with all the sheep, and seeing all the gardens down there :)
Becky, your videos are great! They're never long enough!! I thoroughly enjoy watching the process of your garden expanding as the months go along and I'm looking forward to what it becomes this year. Thank YOU for taking us on your journey!
You can start harvesting some of your cabbages in the early summer to extend your harvest and they will produce another cabbage head for the fall. Just cut the first head off leaving the plant in the ground. It will produce 4 more heads. Thin them to only one head when the 4 first start showing. That one head will grow to a midsized head. This way you can eat cabbage all summer thru late fall. Don’t do this with your winter varieties just store them and eat them all winter. Plant some spinach in August and then let the small plants over winter (in a zone 5 you don’t even have to protect them). Come early spring they will grow and produce a sweet delicious spinach. Much better tasting than other methods. Carrots planted in July can be left in the ground and harvested all winter having become much sweeter from the cold. They need to be protected from deer and gophers and heavily mulched to protect from freezing and for easier digging.
We also loved in Korea for a period and love us some kimchi and sticky rice. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Your explanation actually has inspire us to tackle making it ourselves. And of course, your videos are also alway awesome. Thank you for sharing your family and way you do things with us.
Most city's have leaf compost for free, our town picks up the leaf matter off the streets people have raked to the curb, then it's dumped in huge piles let compost, the city gives it to whom ever wants to come pick it up, iv gotten it by the truck loads before, just make sure your truck spring's can handle the load they dump in the back of your truck..... Helps grow great vegetables, and I grew big potatoes by tilling in the leaf compost deep in the ground.....
I saw you wiggling those fingers down into the middle of the glove to get warm. Don't think you were hiding it, lol. You and your family are amazing and very inspiring. God Bless.
Having a high tunnel really extends your growing season, cole crops, herbs, lettuce can hang in there into mid-winter. Especially with the second row of protection from the floating row covers. We had one up in Michigan (zone 5bs)
Hi Becky. Love your stories. I live in Australia so we are in summer at the moment. I look forward to seeing your garden this year. Thanks for sharing.
to make your kimchi better i reccomend you keep your napa cabbage whole in 2 halves and you blend the ingredients you were planning to season your kimchi with. then with the blended slurry/sauce lather it into each leaf of the napa cabbage with a little extra blended slurry on top with some extra sea salt. this will be a lot more traditional but keeping to a minimal purchasing limit.
I enjoy your channel so much! I get so excited when I see you uploaded a new video. Can't wait till things really get going again ❤️ Thanks for keeping us updated Joanna Corpus Christi TX
Just started watching you a couple of days ago and I am hooked.We done a lot of gardening in our younger years and really enjoyed it .Hard work though.We put all of our veggies in the freezer.Nothing like your own home grown veggies.
What a blessing to still be harvesting. I’m in Minnesota, zone 4 and I did get a greenhouse and hoop house. But will use in early spring. I’m growing loads indoors now though.
Thank you for the video. On those cold days, I am canning something. I follow a few prepping channels and a couple of them mentioned your channel and now I see that Shawn has left a comment. God Bless and stay safe.
I love your videos. I can’t believe you harvested now! We are covered in snow and today is -24 Celsius. Even the snow is frozen. Yay Canada 🥶 I can barely make it to the compost site with kitchen scraps without freezing to death…lol. Happy New Year 🥳
@@TheSeasonalHomestead hahaha yes there is! Winter is for dreaming, in my world. I don’t really mind it. I’m living off my last seasons stuff, I am knitting a scarf, watching RU-vid 💚 and planning next years garden and thinking about the seedlings. Peace out.
I was stationed in Korea and got to learn first hand how to make Kimchi. Somewhere in a box we have pictures of the women on a roof drying tons of tiny red peppers while others were making the pepper paste with some dried ones. What an experience because we did not get to live on the base but outside in the little town right by the base. Thank goodness I was raised country and knew how to live without modern conveniences. That is an amazing purple cabbage!! You look so proud and rightfully so! Thanks for sharing!!
I was watching you clean the coops and wondered if you could make an access door on the side of the coop. You wouldn’t have to bend and walk through them. I love your videos and that cabbage was amazing!
Dang! I thought you just found a 200-pound octopus on your property and had to dispatch it with one stick of dynamite when I saw the thumbnail. Given all that congratulations for what a grow
You are further along the am we are. I just found your RU-vid channel. I enjoyed your video. I was doing the exact thing out working in my garden even in a bit of snow just trying to finish one last project before the winter. I made kimchi last year over and over I loved it.
Welcome aboard! We hope your house build can get done in good time for your family. No fun playing the waiting game! By the way, my husband LOOOOOOVES the mountain backdrop you have at your place. He grew up in Idaho, and dearly misses the mountains he grew up with.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead that was one of the reasons we loved it. It has a view of sunrise and sunset. We should get started in February I hope. We should have been done and in already. I had to laugh at how you stayed in a tent in your barn. The small things are so hard sometimes. We had our water freeze and everything else a couple days before thanksgiving. So needless to say we are just trying to keep being patient. Your house is beautiful!
Hola acabo de ver tus vídeos y la verdad son magníficos gracias por compartir todo hemos aprendido mucho y lo seguimos haciendo mi espacio es pequeño que lo bueno es empezar !
Saw a video once with a guy who had built a chicken house with a top and bottom storey. You could open a large door to the top part and pull all the straw and waste out with a rake in one go into a wheelbarrow. Think it was the Nature's Always Right guy.
I wish I could share a picture on here!! I went to your blog to get the kimchi recipe because it sounds soooo good! Right between the picture of the cut cabbage and the instruction to "add weights to keep cabbage submerged" was an ad with a picture of 2 feet submerged to the ankle in what looks like a small crock. For a half second I thought you made kimchi wine-press style. 🤣🤣 Thanks for you all your info. Loving your channel and blog!
I asked this on a recent video, but thought to ask here in case it makes it more likely to be seen: What is your watering system and situation for the garden? Do you water? How often and how long? (Just answering this passively in a future video is good.) I think I see drip lines in the caterpillar tunnel. Thank you!!
Yes we water but very rarely at this point. I don't have any watering system hooked up other than a hose with a sprinkler! It is something I plan on addressing this year. My plan is to use drip irrigation since we live in an area with high humidity and plants are more susceptible to disease with overhead watering here.
Becky, I love making all sorts of fermented foods. We lived in South Korea for several years, courtesy of the United States Air Force, and loved the people and the food. I’ve always wanted to make my own kimchi, but cannot eat anything with fish in it. All the recipes I’ve seen use some kind of fish paste or oil. Can you post your kimchi recipe? Loved the video…except for your chicken injury.
Hi Susan! The recipe for the kimchi is in the video description. My recipe doesn't use any fish, I adapted it so I could make it with things that come from only our garden. Cameron also lived in Korea for a few years. He loved it too!🙂
New subscriber here! Since you are so much into fermenting: have you tried Bokashi composting yet? To add nutrients and beneficial microbes and enzymes to the soil? I saw a huge difference in my crops and will apply it much more this year.
I tried to reach out to you on your Blog but my comment was blocked "as a suspected bot" 🤷🏼♀️ As you know, I enjoy you and your family so much. I follow another RU-vid channel called Growfully with Jenna and she deals with extreme clay soil also. She does cover crops also but she does a bit more. I feel it would really benefit you and your gardens if you watched some of her advice on amending clay soil. Her gardens (and soil) are beautiful. Check out her playlist on this subject. Love ya, girl 😁 Corpus Christi TX
New subscriber here!🙋♀️ Love your content and I love your personality!! I would love to know where you got your kimchi recipe from? Thanks and all the best.
do you all make your kimchi very hot? it is amazing how much you all get done. really enjoy your videos. do you grow beets, if you do will you share with me your procedure. thanks
Do you have a good source for silage tarps? I'm not exactly sure how think they should be for killing off grass for our garden area. Thank you for the link to the chairs. I bought some for the table we just built. 🙌🙌 Always enjoy your videos and learn so much!
6 mil black plastic/visqueen work just fine if you can't find a free source of '"think" plastic or SIlage tarps. Most of the big box stores carry it in 20' x 100' rolls
My silage tarps come from Farmers Friend. They are pretty large but can be cut to whatever size you need. I have the 24x105. In the video I folded it up over where I needed it. I’ve also cut one so it’s two 12x105’s. It’s much easier move that way!
My husband and I are considering homesteading and would love to know if you purchase your vegetable plants from a garden center ready to be planted or if you plant yours from seeds yourself? Thanks!!!
Do it!! We buy seeds mainly. It's a bit more work, but we are ok with that because we get to pick exactly what varieties we want, and we can plant them when we want, not when the garden center gets them instock. We buy a lot of our seeds from Baker Creek Seeds, High Mowing seeds, Johnny's Seeds, and a few other popular places. We also buy all organic, non-gmo seeds, and sometimes at garden centers you are limited to what seeds they put in the pot for you. Check out my popular blog post on seed starting for more tips and help :) www.theseasonalhomestead.com/category/gardening/seed-starting/
@@TheSeasonalHomestead thank you!!!! It is super overwhelming when you look at where to start or what to do! I'm so glad to have come across your chanel! 👩🏻🌾 thank you for sharing your seed sources!
I grew a cover crop of hairy vetch in that row right before I planted it. I had some areas that didn’t die and the vetch kept growing as a living mulch. In every place that happened the cabbages were large!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead Thank you for sharing that. :) Our cabbages didn’t do all that well last year. We’ll have to give that a try in the future and see if we can get similar results. Thank you again for sharing!
Hermosa familia estoy encanda con lo q asen pero me gustaria q pusieran sud titulos en español porq yo no ablo ingles pero asi me gusta verlos auq no entiendo nada de lo q ablas porfavor pongan sud titulos en español desde chihuahua México saludosy Dios me los bendiga me encantan muy hermoso todo espero en Dios q se me cumplan todos mis sueños como los de ustedes mil bendiciones besos y un fuerte abrzo
I assumed you were doing some of your own videos so I checked out your channel and subscribed! Cameron grew up in Idaho and we both went to school there. I'm excited to see your homestead and channel grow! That is so exciting!
It's cabbage and yes, it's in the video! See the comment above for the timing🙂 It was a very brief clip because the camera kept getting wet from rain as we were recording.
Just tell people you follow the STUN method for trees! Stupid total utter neglect lol If they live they are hardy and meant for your area. Their babies will be super hardy and sellable
