  1. Just taking a break from my garden chores to watch you do yours. At 75 I have to use my little Mantis no pick ax to turn the soil. Just finished up last summers tomatoes in a delicious sauce. Freezing is a life saver. I love how welcoming the garden is to the kids. Always a nice feeling watching your videos.

  3. Love being here with the family to see the result of the family’s future efforts. Truly a joy! The teepees are spectacular. And the growing plants are so carefully weeded.

  4. Your gardens are SO pretty! Dreamy really!! What tool do you use to cut your rows? Wonderful job!! Black Walnut trees produces yummy Walnuts. We collected many last year from our property. They are great in desserts and even some savory dishes.

  5. Is that a 12 pound matlock? If not keep your eyes open while putting aside a little 12 pound mattock fund; they aren't too terribly expensive but, upto closer to $100 than $19.99 or $29.99. I don't know if you can still find a new, 15 pound mattock but they do appear at yard, garage, and moving sales from time to time.

  6. I like to string tee-pees with an opening towards the morning sun wide enough for my shoulders to fit then densely scatter sow a salad mix into the center (carefully weed at the onset then hope the salad mix squeezes out weeds); if not a salad mix, something you only reach with a pair of scissors and clip off to harvest. If the strings and beans provide a dense canopy, a whole different and cooler micro climate develop under the canopy.

  7. Do keep thinking of where to place your own "rock quary" or piles of rocks of different sizes. I don't think the entire family could remove all the rocks if each worked 40 hours a week for a life time. But there will come a time that you will likely want to remove at least some of the rocks in the assorted areas; don't worry, I think your soils will continue to grow rocks or bring them to the surface for a while to come. Meanwhile, it seems that the more you touch, dig, uncover, and pry rocks from the ground the more rock based projects and uses seem to enter into the brain. It is often not uncommon to actually seek rocks before it is all said and done. Having some rocks piled in a single location rather than in puddles along the way throughout your space makes these brain fueled idea come to fruition more readily.

  9. The following video shows you Darrell's Tipi for growing beans. Take the time to watch especially the beginning of the video. He has several tipis on his property: the/his trick is to first put a strong center-pole (he was lucky and used an old tree) I think he nails the bamboos to that center-pole and makes it really storm-strong, with an entrance on one side to reap the beans from the inside. It will not cost you much time to re-do yours, it pays. I think your bamboo-sticks are long enough to make the tipi bigger. Kaye Kittrell is visiting Darrell. Both very interesting persons. See Kaye' videos. I am Swiss and live in Zurich, I have no garden but I enjoy videos. All the best. God bless you!

  10. Love the teepees! I used to plant mammoth sunflowers early in a large circle, then plant beans around them. Once the flowers were done, I tied the tops together to make my teepee, and the birds would come and eat the sunflower seeds. I remember being young and willing to do things the hard way because I couldn't afford any other way, but that weed-whacking and digging was still a lot of work! Lord bless you all.
