Did you make a video of the soup you make with the lamb meat?

Sorry I can't understand I wonder if it has thin long leaves. Caressing with your hand I wonder what is the Latin of this acacia? Sorry my bad english 😅 Maybe Latin name Acacia cognata right?

I got my compost pathways installed over the last few weeks! Loving it all ready, much nicer to walk on and reducing compaction.

Hi Linda happy New Year, lovely to see all your volunteer plants. Just wondering if you are interested in presenting in Moe for Permaculture Week, have sent you an email. thanks, Rosemary

Sheet metal sheers are better. You can find ood ones at flea markets. The handles are longer giving better bone cutting leverage.

Well done! So much garden food and garden beauty. Opening up the space will ventilate it too. Will you put in floor to ceiling windows and doors to drink in more of your garden views?

What a great video! We have 4 muscovys (sisters) and much to my husbands displeasure they are just for laying. They currently are housed in a room next to our chickens and go into our orchard during the day. We have decided to not clip their wings as I'd much prefer them to be able to get to safety, although they've now decided it's time to explore our fields. We do have to round them up to get them indoors which our sons help with. We are in the planning process of new housing including outdoor runs for the ducks and our chickens, which is easier said then done as I want them to have enough space but also be fox proof. My husband would like meat ducks so we may look to get some in the future. We had our first attempt at preparing a bird to eat last week with one of our roosters, unfortunately we didn't get the water hot enough when scalding so plucking was difficult and we don't have a machine. We ended up skinning him in the end which worked well and his meat was so much nicer than a chicken!

Looks fantastic 😊

Thanks for checking in with us 🧡

So good to see you back. Your garden seems happy to carry on it's production while you are busy with the house. I wondered how you were and your health, and how you were getting on with the renovations. I am moving house soon and have noticed volunteer potatoes , tomatoes and various flowers coming up in the new garden from the previous owner, which I am pleased about. I will be putting in No Dig beds and hope to have a garden similar to yours with lots of different produce and flowers. I am in New Zealand.

Thanks for the update Linda. I really enjoyed it, especially seeing all your wonderful volunteers!

Your sunny summer garden is quite welcome on my feed today, as I sit and watch the snow fall and prepare for frigid temps this week in Ohio!

So good to see you! Your garden looks wonderful. Looks like you were having gorgeous weather when you filmed this video. I'm envious. We had snow this morning. The current temperature is 26°F/-3C with a wind chill of 13°F/-10°C. Best of luck with your garden. Hoping your renovations are completed soon.

Hi Linda, there is so much in your garden, I hope your freezers are still hooked up even in a temp kitchen. We have had weird semi Winter weather and the garden is going really slowly, fingers crossed the warm weather comes soon. Take cae as always. =-)

Hello Linda , I love seeing you especially in the garden surrounded by volunteers. The echinacea are looking fantastic, as are your zinnias . I'm glad you have some veg growing but I know how hard it is when you don't have a full kitchen to cook or preserve in. I hope you can get at least , your sauerkraut done with the cabbages. Hopefully the builder will be done soon for you . Enjoy your summer garden lovely and thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Last season I had an unpleasant experience with a volunteer cucumber. At first I was delighted to see the seedlings emerge, the vines were incredibly vigorous. Alas, they never produced any blooms or fruit. The vines were almost "thorny" and fought back when I pulled them out of the garden. It is good to see your post. I always enjoy seeing your garden as we are in the deep winter now and expecting overnight lows of -6C

Lovely to see you and you're looking well. The garden still looks amazing and I hope your home will be finished soon.💚

Good to see you again Linda, your garden is so generous, so many volunteers!! Hope you are keeping well 😊🌿

So it is wonderful to see your face and garden again and I hope you're doing much better. I'm so happy to see the work you've done over the years continue to feed you while you've not been able to plant as much as normal. I hope your kitchen is nearing completion. It's difficult/frustrating to grow and not be in a position to preserve the abundance. I'm pleased to say your inspiration with zinnias led me to a great "production crop' at TAFE ❤😂 i'm also expecting my first jaune flamme tomato harvest and designing a much smaller but integrated chicken, orchard and garden system than originally in my head, now that realism is kicking in 😂 Here's to a kick-ass New Year 🎉

Nice looking day at your place Linda. We mowed the tree plantation today. We kept getting washed out. We have eaten heaps of mangos plums and apples. sweet corn, water melons Only have macadamias dropping now

Great work mate 🇦🇺 👍 👏

Ooooh, i haven't watched yet, I'm just heading home, can't wait ❤😂🎉

I had a feeling we'd see you today! How special.

So good to see you!

I’m in central Vic and growing yakon for my second year in a wicking bed in my small backyard. I really like the fresh taste. I started with one plant which I got 7 tubers off and divided into two plants this year. I dug up as the plant leaves and stems turned brown before the winter cold set in. Cut back like you and buried again. Last year the leaves got attacked by white fly. None so far this year..thanks for your info and seeing how you manage this plant

Very informative. Thank you.

Hello Linda, thank you very much for such a detailed and step-by-step plan for the arrangement of the garden and Swale

That rooster jump started my heart.

Hi Linda The Latin name of this fig tree is Ficus caricaSo if it is not a variety, what is its Latin name? Of the flat-leaved one Because when I typed the name of the variety, I couldn't find any dataThanks for the information about icnir with flat leaves 😊

Do any stores sell Yacon in the USA?

As Filipino. I cringe a little bit when you decided to throw away the gizzard and intestines. We processed almost all of the duck including the blood, except feathers.. most of the time. Its only the feathers and talons that are thrown away. Take that for nothing wasted.

This video was suggested to me tonight, so hopefully you will see this comment a year later... Do you find that the parchment paper helps prevent freezer burn?

This will be my first year harvesting Yacon, thanks for the video, very helpful 😊🌿

Hi Linda I really love Tagasaste trees. Do you Use Animal manure in your garden? Also, your fruit trees look very healthy despite being so young.

wax should help to get the fether off, Pluckers for ducks and bigger birds would help

I'm new at this and was wondering what is the cardboard box for?

Hello and merry Christmas 2024. I have 9 alpacas and I really want to start making hats and socks from the fiber. Thank you for your video, great camera angles and explanations for a beginner to understand the process!

When we were kids, we just plant sweet potatoes, not adding fertilizer, and our harvest are good, selling them to the market. But this days, we have to fertilize them, spray them with insecticide, during their 2 moths period, for us to have good harvest.

Love your trellis set up Linda. I will try double podding next time. I do hope you are on the improve health wise and the reno makes every difference. 🙏❤️ Kayleen

İ Love this series chop and Drop 😂❤ good luck 😊

Thank you for the information

Hi, Linda. So good to see you in the garden. Broad beans are not something I have ever tried to grow here in southeast USA. The plants and blooms are striking. We have had our first killing frost and are going into winter. I recently planted and mulched my onion sets; because our winters are usually mild with dips into the below-freezing range, the onions will be fine and primed for spring growth. I have been attending to the usual end of season chores: cutting the asparagus, side dressing with compost and mulching; trimming and protecting the dwarf bananas and figs; putting blanketed huts over my citrus. I wish you a successful journey to robust good health.

Love the fava beans. The scent of the flowers definitely was something this season. I've harvested my green ones for freezer and this year have saved many dry ones to try making felafel 😊 That trellis system sure would have helped here! 😂 Lovely to see your face. Thanks also for the message on Nacho's page 😊 😊

Thanks Linda. It's great to see the cycle from beginning to end and I loved the way you built that support for them.

Nice harvest, might need to give that idea a go. Incase you don't pop up in my newsfeed, merry Christmas and a happy new year.🎀🎄🎀🎊🍾🥂

Great to see your video again. Hope the house and health are making progress. I didn't realize you can double pod them.

Good onya Linda

How lovely to see you again Linda, and especially with those beautiful beans! They have done well this year! Just to reassure people not familiar with broad beans. It's not essential to double pod them. Some people, me included, love to eat big robust beans where every one is a mouthful! I pressure canned a croo of broad beans in recycled screw top jars. They turned an amazing shade of dark brick red, but tasted just as good.
