Lazy Gardening Has Paid Off! | FULL Spring Garden Tour 2024!

[@joanhunt7560]

We added a 2 feet thick layer of wood chips to half of our 3 acres in amish country. Literally had farmers pull over their tractors when they saw me out in the yard to ask what we were doing. Must have thought we were crazy. Now they ask how i grow bell peppers so easily. We didnt have to mow half our land either. Just kept adding fresh chips and composted chicken manure. We have chickens too. I am the chaos gardener and hubby just eats the yummy food and does projects. Life is good and our fruit trees are thriving. Love your channel!

[@andreagarofolo9431]

I am totally knew it gardening in North Carolina. I recently talked to a lady who owned a farm and had mentioned to me something about having some kind of shade for my plants for hot days what do you suggest I do for shade kind of confused me why I would need shade. You had mentioned something about planting certain plants that provide shade but if I am just starting out and don't have any tall plants or anything to provide shape what would I do

[@andreagarofolo9431]

What do you suggest is the best to spray on the leaves and on the ground for pest control

[@LaurieWelborn]

I also raise rabbits and use the poop and straw directly in my garden. Both as a top dressing on my beds but also when I put in new plants. Thank you for telling people about using the poop directly. Many online sources say you have to compost it or turn it into tea. It wastes so much time and energy. Love your channel.❤

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@andreagarofolo9431 don’t spray! Healthy soil grows healthy plants that recover from pest damage fantastically well

[@andreagarofolo9431]

Hey Anne I'm a huge fan and have started my own garden, I'm a recovering alcoholic and your videos and actually gardening has helped alot! Thank you and please continue delivering us with great content

[@kaleyjanenigh]

Congrats on your sobriety and your garden! I'm a recovering heroin addict, and gardening has brought such joy to my life. I'm coming up on 8 years clean! There's nothing like nature to get you back to right.

[@vinlago]

​@@kaleyjanenigh imho that is part of why we have gotten so lost. We uprooted ourselves (pun intended) from the natural cycles of life, family & community. I'm so happy that is turning around. Glad you broke free. Peace to both of you.

[@lifelovelettuce]

Sister in recovery here--almost 23 years--and gardening saved my life! Congratulations to you both. There is so much healing to be found when you put your hands in the soil and become aware of the seasons around you. Sending love from New Zealand 💌

[@marilynmitchell2712]

I discovered her one hour ago and am already a fan

[@eskilolsen3783]

​@@vinlagoIt's not about either or. We should embrace how far science has got us, with understanding the chemistry, biology and physics happening in nature. But we're also humans, still needing our stone age brains to adapt at accellerating speeds, that many of us cannot easily do. I'm a scientist in Norway that started out with saying no to work with hydrocarbons, then I worked with safety sensors for cars for a decade, took a master's degree in microsystems technology and found myself making electronics for weapons. I couldn't handle my nightmares of people being bombed, so I switched to making medical sensors, just to see that even that industry is corrupt. I've been depressed for years, but doing gardening is making wonders for my mental health and I can apply my chemistry wisdom too.

[@kathrynparker983]

I watched your "from scratch" video last night for the first time. I dreamed about it and turning my one acre lawn into a food forest. I'm so hyped to go that I woke up at 4:30 a.m. eager to watch this video and the ones on composting (my nemesis). Thanks for all you do so well!

[@Djhikes63]

Same! I found this channel when I needed it the most. I've loved flirting with the idea of gardening but was too intimidated to start. I've become obsessed. Is it weird to say I think I found myself in the garden? Well, it's true for me.

[@jeffbrown2646]

Anne, thank a ton for the tip bout scattering bunny berries around Rhubarb. Our's grows crazy good next to an old compost area. We love our Rhubarb sauce..😋

[@eskilolsen3783]

Using ashes for your blueberries isn't necessarily a mistake. I've had blueberries in my garden for many years and got like 6 berries if it was a good year. So one year I sprinkled ashes around them to fertilize them and got 0 berries. The next year I learned that they need sour soil to thrive, so I gave them all the left-overs of sour drinks the next year and got at least 20 berries. This year I mixed the ashes with the sour left-overs to ensure a more balanced pH, and all three plants have provided hundreds of berries already.

[@Bigredkarl]

You should splice some of the other wild papaws branches onto your pawpaw at home to have one tree with multiple flower types

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That’s a really interesting idea, I wonder if that will successfully overcome the rhiosomal /similar genetic tissue propagation issue. I know it does for some fruit trees, but the pollination process works differently than on pawpaws. Into the lab I go!

[@patconner2638]

That... Should work. I only have basic experience splicing citrus and walnut, but the genetics that come with the donor stalk definitely persist after being spliced into the base plant. Very excited to see if pawpaw will take to it too!

[@joanhunt7560]

Thats brilliant!

[@ambersykora352]

​@@joanhunt7560 Yes grafting will supply the different genetics from the fruit. It's no different than buying fruit trees or plants that are grafted onto a native or different rootstock. It doesn't alter the genetics of the graft. You can actually graft different kinds of fruit onto one tree. They don't even have to be the same species or anything. And you don't have to wait until a specific time of year to graft either, it's not true you can do it any time during the year. Check out the Back to Eden documentary on yt which I'm sure you're well aware of. Paul G demonstrates on how to graft effectively as he is a trained arborist

[@farmhandler]

You radiate positive energy and you own both your mistakes and your successes. You're a genuine awesome person

A crucial point regarding the bouncy plant beds is to adhere to the sidewalk. Standing, walking, or leaning on the beds can impede the air circulation vital for the plant roots.👩‍🌾👣🐐

[@rodneydyer351]

I'm new to gardening this year, a real captain blight, haha. Glad I found you. I much appreciate what you bring and how you bring it. Thank you.

[@Tiffany-Rose]

I tell people the same thing for gardening that I do cooking. Start growing/cooking 1 thing, make it a favorite so you have extra motivation and learn all you can, do it well, then move onto the next. Pretty soon you will have an arsenal of plants you are good at growing 👍 Also want to add, even gardeners with years and decades of experience will have mishaps. It's part of the journey, good luck and happy gardening!

[@sunnyday1639]

You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks to the camera person for doing an excellent job capturing all that you do!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

More to come shortly! So glad you’ve stuck around ❤️❤️

[@marijeb278]

​@AnneofAllTrades looking forward to it! I love the knowledge you have. Really knowing how your soil and your plants work, means you don't have to stick absolutely a rulebook, but rather observe and use principles to your advantage. Which is what I learn from you. It is not about what the gardeners rulebook tells you to do without understanding why, but having enough skill to adjust to Your garden. I love that.

[@NitaP1569]

Do you have deer ? I’m wondering how they are not eating your fruit trees

[@AnneofAllTrades]

@@NitaP1569 yes, we do, but they don’t come in the garden because I have several lines of defense against them. The garden is located in a fence inside a fence. The exterior fence has a Hotwire on the top and bottom that is meant to deter pests. It is patrolled by my donkeys, livestock guardian dogs, and alpacas, as well as motion sensor lights. A deer could in theory still get in, but I’ve not seen one inside the fenceline since I installed the electric lines.

[@Crystal-il3jl]

Yessss! for another video, especially a garden video! 🎉

[@debbiebell4598]

When I planted paw paws 8 years ago, it took 3 yrs before they flowered, noticeably. It took 5 to find fruit (you have to hunt for them. Last year @ yr 7 we got a good amount of fruit, more than we could eat so we shared them. The tree, on it's own it big and beautiful, with large leaves which looks somewhat tropical for Michigan, where they grow naturally. I'm loving how beautiful they are. Btw, I planted them all wrong, in direct sun, and not protected from the wind. Still, they are doing great! Good luck on your paw paw journey.

[@TheWayWalker]

I wondered how long it took. This is my 3rd year the paw paw trees are growing but not big enough yet to fruit I think.

[@j.reneewhite915]

So glad to witness your companion/intercropping. Other youtube gardeners and some books say DO NOT plant onions near strawberries, asparagus, beans and peas. Stating that the onion will stunt the growth of the other plants. You've obviously proven them wrong. Which helps me to relax a little more. I plant a lot of veg in a very small yard with tall trees surrounding the property. Oh yeah, and dense clay soil. It squishes like a sponge all Winter long only to turn to cement by the beginning of Summer. So hitting the easy button on any level is a blessing. Thank you for taking the time and energy to share your gardening tips with us. Tomorrow I will be companion planting some carrots in my asparagus bed.

[@christineschonmayr5954]

Love how you kill your cilantro to get some more! 😁😁 My boys (2, 4 and 6) actually love veggies of all kind. But it can happen that they refuse it and tell an astounded grandparent they "don't like store bought cucumbers, only those from mama's garden" 🤣🤣 Just learning the way of lazy gardening, I get so much out of your videos! Thank you! Best wishes from Austria

[@kellyaspinall7284]

My kids are the same! I grow massive amounts of snap peas every year and I have NEVER had enough at one time to use them at dinner or anything. The kids just go outside and eat them all day lol

[@debzeb6899]

I hand pollinated my pears recently. Best crop ever! I realised the first tree as flowering before any other trees I could see in my 'hood so I had to go find flowers elsewhere. I walked off with a few paint brushes and some of my own flowers and found a neighbor who agreed I could collect some from there's. Sure enough they were also interested so i brounght out my flowers. They were sceptical so I only did half their tree. When i bumped into them in the market they told me my half of the tree fruited. The other side didn't.

[@chermaj1]

Just a suggestion. You could possibly sell passion fruit starters or seedlings. Some of us may be interested. Enjoyed the knowledge and skills in your gardening technique. Love your energy!

[@jaytoney3007]

My gardn is considerably smaLLER, 14 raised beds, 8 fruit trees, a 10x20 in ground herb garden, 3 GreenStalk towers, 6 ten-gallon grow bags, and a few pots. 10 of my raised beds are protected from voles. This year, my unprotecxted beds are under attack from voles. So far, they have destroyed extra potato plants, and devestated my shelling peas. Thankfully my main crop of potatoes are in a vole proof raised bed. I harrvested mustard greens Thursday morning, and will harvest again in three weeks. My tomatoes are starting to flower, and the peppers are starting to fruit. The green onions are large enough to start harvesting the tops, I have lettuce that is ready to harvest, and I'm picking Seascape Strawberries daily. (Sylacauga Alabama)

[@scarlet10sewing]

I live in TX and gardening is a challenge. Looks like TN is gardening heaven.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Gardening becomes less of a challenge regardless of your location the more you work to improve your soil. Gardening here is great, but there was a BIG learning curve growing here after growing in a different climate.

[@scarlet10sewing]

I started in Ohio (on Lake Erie shore region), then moved to Seattle and now TX. Water is more precious here and I’m older now (retired )so I now do containers. It’s just easier all around.

[@tanyawales5445]

The best pond aerators are the ones that use weighted bubble hose and release tiny bubbles into the water. It keeps the pond aerated, there is no electricity in or near the water and the energy cost is much less than a conventional aerator. You can power the air pumps on the bank using solar panels or an electrical box. There will always be an area on the pond surface that is free of ice. The added oxygen to the pond water encourages the breakdown of animal waste and decreases the mosquito population. Hardy mosquito fish in the pond will help too. You can plant elderberry plants which can be rooted from dormant cuttings, dwarf mulberry trees and a hazelnut hedge. I am going to plant Winkler hazelnuts which only get to 8 - 10 ft. tall.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I can’t wait for you to see the pond video, We think very much alike ;)

[@CP-ji2bb]

Sooo much great advice. I had almost given up on my garden. You have reignited my passion.

[@joshuahoyer1279]

Something I'm going to try this fall is to throw a layer of wood chips right on top of our strawberries. I was watching some of Paul Gautchi's Back to Eden videos, and he was showing folks his strawberry beds, where he does just this. He said that the older, less productive plants die off, while the young vigorous ones spring up with no trouble, providing the perfect lazy bounty! I did throw some mulch on them this last winter, but it really wasn't a think layer. Like he said, the strawberries had no problem pushing up through it, and there are some beautiful flowers getting ready to fruit now.

[@EMBERS-BECAME-BRIGHT-JOY]

You've reminded me of a childhood song. It goes "Picking up paw paws, putting them in your pockets."

@Anne of All Trades I am going to step out of my comfort zone experiment with something in my garden. My grandparents always direct sowed seeds. I am going to try and germinate tomato seeds and plant then directly in the ground as soon as they germinate. Wish me luck❤

[@brandynash1409]

I direct sowed all my seeds one year. It worked great! I just had a super late harvest of everything. But, if the goal was to put up a lot of food for winter, I can totally see how that would work. People talk about red tomatoes and ripe watermelons in the winter. And after that experiment year, I understand it now.

What kind of fig did you just prune back? When I lived in Utah, I attended a class about figs, and I was told the v only fig tree you can prune back at all is an elephant fig. In fact the instructors had picecs of branches in zippick bags to take and plant. And it grew. Unfortunately I couldn't bring it to Washington state when I moved back. I do have 2 fig trees which are doing well in pots. I sure enjoy watching you teaching about composting , mulching and all your cute animals. I grew up on 15 acres so I'm acustom to hard work even now at 70. ❤you young lady! Thanks so much fir sharing your knowledge ❤

[@AnneofAllTrades]

it's a chicago hardy fig, and there's an important distinction there, these are fig bushes, not fig trees. The trees are quite different with regard to maintenance, pruning, and propagation ;)

I’ve done the same thing with the blueberries!!! We have so much wood ash after winter is over and while my potatoes LOVE it, my husband very quickly reminded me to not put them on the blueberries when I said I was heading out to ash them. I DO think there are minerals in the ash that the blueberries benefit from.

[@ednaconnors]

[@brendacoxall1683]

Thank you for these. I love the way you present your garden. We grew up in Zimbabwe (Africa) and had paw paw trees. We were told there always has to be a male and female tree within a few meters of each other or you would not get fruit. I guess this is the same idea.

Nice ! Getting us all amped up for spring! Hops like the paw paw are rather invasive. If I was to plant them again , I'd put them in one of those round culvert (aka park campground) fire rings 1 1/2 foot deep because those rhizomes go everywhere!!

[@horseblinderson4747]

Anne you should go back to those paw paws out in the woods while the season is right for it and put some air prunings on them so that you can go back for them in the autumn and clip them and bring them back. You could then get them inside over winter for a spring transplant into your garden, that way you won't have to go back every year, you'll also have enough diversity on your farm to start selling saplings at $50 by the pair in the least. Just make sure to give every tree and it's runners a name and or number.

[@neiuke1149]

I'm in zone 4a and rhubarb has always been in my garden since childhood. We never cover it and very rarely fertilize. It's more like a weed, it just grows and it's BIG. Even when I got a rhubarb from someone and forgot it outside in a plastic box, nothing happened, it's growing now. And we have weeks in winters where we have -35C. Depends of the variety, but you could def try some more cold hardy ones.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It’s more that I have to temper it to deal with the huge temp swings. Most rhubarb is cold hardy, but few are as heat tolerant as we need them to be here.

I have an apricot tree that flowers before it gets its leaves. I've never seen another tree do that. PawPaw trees are very interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
