Welcome back to the garden for our August Garden Tour! The garden in August is an absolute mess, but it is still giving me so many vegetables that I am constantly preserving! Overlook the weeds and jungle-ness of the garden and enjoy the beauty that it has to offer! Our first frost in Missouri, zone 6b/7a is coming up quickly, set for around October 20th, which means part is past it’s prime, but it still has a ton to offer! Our zucchino rampicante has been incredibly productive, our tomatoes have put on a new flush for fall, our pumpkins are coming along nicely, our fall planting of beans and squash are filling our containers nicely, and our peppers are still exploding!

Love it… thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Working now thank you 😊
Sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family. They are really beautiful! I planted 99 peppers and haven't gotten many at all. You can also spray your plants really good with dish soap and water and squash bugs will die. Then just rinse the plants off. I did it when I just had a few to see if it worked and it did!
In the beginning of your tour there is something that looks like a tripod off at the end of the row. Is that a sprinkler? If so, do you remember where you got it? I have been looking for one 🙂
even if you human slaves fill this entire prison world with palm size papers called money that still can't produce electricity or wind so why do you believe that you need to ean & pay palm size papers called money to be alive ?
What's this adhd trend? Now all adults have it?
Loved seeing your garden again. The tunnel is amazing. I sure do love that old barn in the background of the video. I’ve also been meaning to tell you that I appreciate you responding to my comments. You’re one of the very few homesteaders that I watch that responds to comments. 💗
I'm so glad I found your channel. You are so bubbly. Thank you for the garden tour. Lord bless you and your family ❤
Do you have fruit flies? We have such a large amount and I can’t get rid of them. But I don’t have room in my fridge to be putting all of my vegetables. Just wondering if you know of a good way to get rid of them. I’ve tried the water with sugar and Dawn in it. Not working. Thanks.
14:27 be careful with squishing the squash bugs. I’ve read that they release a smell that attracts more squash bugs. I have seen people using a container of soapy water to drop them into. They drown without releasing the smell.
Adults also like to hide in the root zone. Emptying a 5 gallon bucket quickly (within a few minutes) in the root zone will make the adults come to the surface for air. Grab them and add them to the others in your soapy water. For the eggs, you can cut off the leaf, tear off the section with eggs, or take a loop of duct tape with the sticky side out wrapped around your hand. Tap where you see the eggs with the sticky tape (like you would use it to remove lint). It will remove the eggs without damaging the leaves. Hth!
ETA: just saw that you’ve discovered the lovely popcorn popping sound of torching them!
I am happy to have found your channel! I am a Christian in NW Arkansas-maybe we are close to each other! 🤗
I would love to see you film you cleaning up your garden-putting it to bed for the year. Even mostly time lapse would be great. I rarely see vids like that. I think it would be interesting. 👋🏻
For vine bars you planted and then once they get so big, you can cover several different sections of that stem from the base of it go out about 6 inches to foot maybe even a little more put in dirt over that vine and just do that throughout and it will save yourplants from the vine
You’ve inspired me. I want to get some trellises and try some scarlet runner beans. So beautiful!! Lovely garden tour I’m glad I’m not the only one that has weeds over taking my peppers.
Leaf footed baby’s are red, they look like big red ants and decimate our garden 😢
Hi there, I'm a new subbed, 63 from New Zealand. We've eaten scarlet runners as green beans all my life, it's only been in the last maybe 20 yrs that different varieties have really come into play here. Of course we eat them when they're only like half grown , this way theyre not as hairy either, and so they are still tender, and we slice them either straight across or diagonally, and steam or boil them. They're luscious! Yummo! Try them next year. You'll love them. ❤😂 also I've been gardening 40 odd yrs now and I've never seen a squash bug, and I hope I never do, when you show them they freak me out! Ugh!
I have lots of family in SW MO. What town are you in or near?
Beautiful garden! Great job on all of it and hey weeds are just a fact of life. Looks delicious!
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that whenever I have had problems with cucumber beetles getting out of control, I have used Captain Jack's Dead Bug spray. It is considered organic and has really helped me. I have not had any problems in the last couple of years since I used it, and I have lots of beneficial insects in my garden. Good luck!
My garden looks the same. I have been busy in the kitchen as well. Glad you are keeping it real!!
Working outside the home, raising 4 kids with school activities, etc.,planning a garden, getting a garden started, wedding, fertilizing, pruning, Then harvesting, cooking, canning, smoking, dehydrating,,..all while filming, editing, producing, and giving your viewers and subscribers the best visual and sound, and all while making sure your family has been fed, the kids did their homework, and everyone gets to bed at decent time, so children can grow the way God intended….while they sleep!
It's almost time to put garden to bed for the winter! That untidy mess of weeds is God's protects against soil erosion, and gives the soil nutrients for
next year's garden.
Is there a way to fence your chickens in, one section at a time? If you could keep them safe, they could clean your garden, and fertilize it at the same time. It's just a thought, at the beginning of the video.
Thanks for being an inspiration to busy moms!!!
Do you watch Little Mountain Ranch? I really like her channel too. I wonder if schools said she had ADHD, when she was little. She's constantly on the move, and thinking aboût the next plant, recipe, meal, etc.
She may have some great helpful technique, to rid yourself of those beetles. I'm sure God had a good reas
Can you mist your squash plants, morning and night, with milk (check with "living traditions homestead" if you don't watch them already, for ideas to combat veggie theives)
You could also cover the entire row with that white, very light weight covering, right after planting the plants and watering them in! Stake them down very well, so the wind can't blow it up allowing new, unwanted residents move in!
Carry a quart or 1/2 gallon jar with about 1/3 full of soapy water, and pull every beetle and. Larva off your plants, and drop them in the water! Tell your kids you'll pay 5¢ a bug, (taken OFF THE SQUASH PLANTS) They should try to count them as the place them in the soapy water, or they may forget.
Do chicken like those squash bugs?
I was wondering if you put all your dead plants into your compost at the end of the season and the bugs are over wintering, then when you use the compost the next year, you are adding the bugs back into your beds. Have you thought of burning the plants? Fingers crossed for your garden next year, I just recently found your channel, and I'm trying to catch up on all your videos. Sending best wishes from our family in the uk to yours x
Wow love your garden and love you tunnel. Really beautiful. You still have so much beautiful fruit to pick. Great job
Beautiful garden! Ours is pretty small (urban setting) but I think we'll skip doing shelling peas next year and try those scarlet runner beans. The flowers are gorgeous. We may have to keep it trimmed up though or it'll probably take over our raised beds. We also made some of that Basil Pepper Jelly after watching you do yours, thank you for the inspiration!
I use eggplant as a trap crop. I companion plant them between my peppers. To me the pest attack the eggplant and leave the peppers alone. My eggplant plants still produce fruit too.
