Suburban Front Yard - June Garden Tour

[@LittleGardenBigDreams]

Bri you truly encompass that saying “Bloom where you are planted”🌱 xx Cathi xx 😘

[@MissBetsyLu]

Nope. I disagree. Our Bri would be an exquisite bloom anywhere. Great blessings everyone.

[@TheMennomilist]

I so agree that having flowers on top of veggies to plant, makes things so much better. Flowers are so beautiful. I loved the tour. It's awesome.

[@genjoce]

Crazy how this yard of grass is looking now ! You rock girl! I can’t wait to see this garden grow with time!

[@gillbennett9784]

There is so much joy in your face and voice when you talk about your garden that it makes me happy as well.

[@sharoncochran8508]

This brought back memories of my Dad walking through the garden eating peas and corn and occasionally cutting a watermelon and eating right there. I miss him so much. He died 45 years ago when I was a teenager. I'm thankful for the good memories.

[@karentuthill8308]

Bri, not only is your garden beautiful, YOU are as well. ❤ Your dreams are coming to fruition and I am soo happy for you! ❤

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you so much!!

[@karentuthill8308]

@@Brifromscratch You are soo very welcome!❤️

[@lucindasutt7365]

Hi Bri. With your friends mighty help, you have already been suscessful with your first experiment plantings this first year. The twins are so small and take Mama time constantly. l can see in this video how positive you have become concerning your first year in a beautiful new home and yard, and how much all the children are loving it. Already so much success, I am so pleased for all of you. 😊❤😊

[@DixieBelleAcres]

What a beautiful way to start my morning! Everything looks wonderful, Bri. What abundance!

[@theIAMofME]

You are so right about never ending knowledge. I have been growing 10 years. I am still a novice. Also, mother nature always wins. Always. Weather is everything!! Just when you think you've mastered something, oh no you haven't learned it ALL. Gardening is a never ending novel!!

[@MissJen007]

Your garden looks amazing!!! You have done so well to adapt to your new situation, you are truly an inspiration

[@angiebryant750]

Your garden is so beautiful and the joy you share while in your garden is contagious. 😊❤

Bri, you have accomplished so much in a short time. You have so much to be proud of in your life. You are a wonderful and beautiful person.

[@doulacoach6801]

💯!

[@amandavenditte5682]

Bri, I just love to see you smiling. Always a joy to watch Beautiful garden and beautiful family 💜 Thank you for your videos

[@phylliswild4277]

Bri, those are flea beetle holes in your eggplant leaves. Eggplant grows great for me (I’m not far from you) but the flea beetles absolutely decimate it. Your garden is gorgeous. Very impressive for its first year! ❤

[@terrihageman9240]

I agree that that is flea beetle damage. I get flea beetles every year on my eggplants but have never treated them. It doesn't take long for the eggplant to outgrow the flea beetles and that way I can avoid putting a pesticide in my garden.

[@jamieflint2550]

Agree, was going to say the same thing - they are a magnet for flea beetles. They usually grow past that and still produce fruit for me though, thankfully! Bri, your garden is amazing!! 😍

[@christineford6763]

Bri … your a professional tour guide … full of love and knowledge . Thank you and may your garden be blessed abundantly !

[@rachelfrees1268]

What a joyful person you are. Your garden is happy showing off for you.🎉

[@shesnohelp]

I cannot believe how gorgeous and abundant your garden is!!!!! For first year! And your placement, and cattle panel trellises! You have a great eye for the beauty of a garden. I'm so jealous. And so happy for you

[@dluxsolutionsathome5162]

Bri, I am loving the abundance of gardening in your videos 💚

[@paularene5557]

I just learned today to not let a cucumber ripen and get too large or yellow, it kills the plant. It feels it is done growing/producing for it’s life cycle. I have been gardening for 30 years and didn’t know that. Cucumbers are my favorite to get out of the garden. I will be watching them closely and harvesting like crazy.

[@izholmes]

Fabulous garden you are building! What a great tour to see the joy, appreciation, and love you have for the plants. And your wood thrush gave you a lovely soundtrack!

[@tessaedwards5707]

Bri, this is incredible!!!! You guys have done so much work in just a few months, I'm so impressed!

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you so much!!

[@tahliel]

The end if last summer the grass and weeds got the better if me and overtook the entire garden. Now in late winter I'm starting to prepare the garden for spring, and (except for the carpet of weed seeds which is giving me anxiety) im so greatful for the abundance of hay the grass and weeds are creating! As i weed each bed, the sun dries the weeds and turns it into hay that I am mulching back into the paths and beds. Hay was so crazy expensive this year, so im counting last years failure as this years win. ❤

[@rhondamckinley4373]

Your garden is so beautiful! It's 5 am. where I am, and I can't wait to get out to my garden this morning. Coffee first😂

[@lindadykes4040]

Your garden is so beautiful ❤️ God bless you and your family ✝️

[@Mama_T_448]

What a beautiful garden tour! You have done an amazing job. We're in early winter now and seeing all that summer growth makes me excited for our next growing season. Well done to you and your beautiful children ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@02271953me]

Bri, what a beautiful use of that grassy expanse - with your house in the background, it captures the essence of a prospering old country farmhouse with a kitchen garden - just beautiful. It stood out to me when you said your fam doesn't enjoy peppers cooked in chili and etc - neither does mine. I dice and freeze mine to pull out to add a frozen handful to the top of my chili bowl - the fresh taste and crunchy texture is sooo good! Thanks for sharing your bounty! ❤

[@Brifromscratch]

Great idea!

[@marianwillis6017]

Will you teach us how to make fermented dillly beans, and also share your homemade salad dressing recipe? I'm so glad you came back to youtube, because I really missed your family.

[@marlaherrington5320]

I had large gardens for years to help feed my 6 kid's. I am now disabled with very limited mobility so it is far harder to garden but I continue to grow as much as I can

[@kellyprice9660]

Learning 👏 so 👏 much 👏 here! I was always hesitant to intercrop but now I know I can just experiment! I also thought something ate our eggplant but couldn’t find the culprit. It was sun scorch. Ours look identical to yours. More Gardening Bits with Bri, please!

[@lizbolick5591]

Bri, your garden is beautiful you have worked so hard. We are so proud of you and the kids

[@bonniepeterson266]

Another great companion plant for tomatoes is your peppers. I always planted them together and my peppers just did amazing! I miss gardening so so much.

[@andreacooley9428]

Your garden is glorious Bri❤ I just love it and I'm so thankful you and the kiddos are doing this garden! We put a 80x30 garden in this year and the joy I get from my kids in there with me is incredible. I thank God everyday❤

[@Brifromscratch]

That is awesome!

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

You are a great teacher Bri. You are so great at sharing your knowledge. Love the garden, it is so beautiful for a first year garden !

[@beetee3272]

You may reconsider the zucchini & squash growing because if you slice them, sprinkle them with your favorite seasoning (garlic salt, bbq rub, everything but the bagel, or just salt and pepper) pop them in the freeze dryer they make excellent snacking chips. I think the children will like them 😊

[@Brifromscratch]

Yes. One thing we are going to try with our freeze dryer for sure. If we like them we will grow more next year!

[@lovegodlovefreedom2535]

Wonderful harvest thus far and much more to come!!!❤️💝👍🏾I failed at trying to grow a garden..pets n animals were an issue here, so now, I’m planning a good sized greenhouse to plant again, once I can get extra funds! I don’t want to get discouraged and not bother so I’m going to be positive and pray🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️ oh ya, soil was an issue too!

Bri, I'm so happy for you and the children. Seeing you bring this garden to life with the help of dear friends restores my faith in the world.

[@ecogarden3622]

Bri, do you know why I watch this channel? I've been doing this since I saw the episode of you in the garden a few years ago. You said then: "If you have flowers on the table every day, you are the rich man". I have a successful professional life, but I also love gardening. I remember my co-workers mocking and jeering at my passion. They laughed at my fingernails, which were never like my office colleagues, at my scratched hands when cutting bushes, that I like farming, ...as if that meant I was inferior to the rest. Your words gave me comfort and a lot of peace at that time. Then came the crisis, the fashion for ecology, the pandemic... and many began to envy their own potatoes, onions and carrots, as well as fruits and, of course, flowers. But words spoken that hurt can't be taken back. Fortunately, there were also your words that became an inspiration for me.

[@AB-ol5uz]

I'm sorry your efforts were diminished...both of my grandparents farmed professionally and gardened their entire lives as most people that were impacted by the Depression (and a lack of refrigeration) did. I grew up exposed to it but not in a home that had our own garden. So as an adult, I did not understand the significance in health, productivity and sustatainability until just a few years ago - I don't think I would have been one that mocked your interests as a fellow corporate professional - but I would not have respected it as it should have been - so I apologize on behalf of those co-workers for bruising your heart. As Jesus said - "they know not what they do" - that doesn't excuse careless remarks or mockery - but I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive them of their ignorance and self-righteousness attitudes.

[@ecogarden3622]

@@AB-ol5uz Thank you. But... Why do you feel guilty? You weren't being rude. I don't work in a corporation, but in cultural institutions. At the time at the opera. I also come from a family with horticultural roots. It gives me the feeling that no matter what happens, I can feed my family. This skill can be very useful. There is the war going on in neighboring country and from time to time rockets fall on our side.

[@Brifromscratch]

Thank you for sharing that with me!!!

[@normalivengood1197]

Love your videos! Walking through your garden with you and sharing your joy is a wonderful way to start the day! Enjoy!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

About the broccoli, I bought 60% shade cloth to put over my broccoli and lettuce this year and it hasn’t bolted. Some of the lettuce is starting to bolt, but the broccoli is fine so far. Beautiful garden and you’ve been very thoughtful and smart in the way you have laid it out and the things you are growing. I think the most beautiful thing in your garden this morning is you! I love your joy in growing and in life.

[@doulacoach6801]

AMEN! Agree!

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

I love growing eggplant. Quarter lengthwise and grill until the seeds bubble…delicious! Speckled tiny holes in my leaves is caused by flea beetles that I control with soapy water.

[@sherriekemper1828]

What a change from use a couple of months ago! Truly beautiful!

[@cwuerp2486]

The garden is coming along beautifully! Just a quick observation, what you ate was a snow pea (they are flat) and the sugar snaps are plumper (even when small). Both are still delicious! I grow both and tried the some of the greens in salad and the are wonderful. God has blessed you greatly! ❤

[@Brifromscratch]

Ha! I always wondered the difference and have always just interchanged the words. Thanks!

[@debbieembury6885]

Will you teach us the fermentation of a dilly bean?!?!?

[@amandabottoms1]

Hey! Just wanted to mention with the amount of rain in your area, you'll need to look at retaining walls to keep that good healthy soil from running into the ditch. You might find it easier financially to begin maybe next year with just one layer, then as the soil begins to move, you can add more layers as you need it. best of luck bri!

[@Brifromscratch]

The way my rows are raised is greatly reduces erosion.

[@janetscott5252]

I can't imagine how much better your garden could become in future years as wonderfully productive it's doing this 1st year!!! 🙏💕🙏

[@gilarecio]

You're so sweet and very industrious Nanay (Mother)... Thank you so much for inspiring me... I'm considering Homesteading in my upcoming retirement in the province (Bicol Province Philippines)... God bless 🙏🙏🙏

[@denisewilson8367]

The yardlong beans are best if harvested at about 18". The peaches & cream corn is what we plant here in Michigan. It is the most popular bcuz of its flavor, ease to grow & the amount of harvest. I hope you like it also. Tenderette and blue lake are very popular green beans. That bush variety seems to be very abundant at harvest time. Great for canning.

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

My Yukon golds have already flowered, kinda sparce but they have. I planted mine back in March though, don't remember when you planted yours. I'm in the same place you are, first year garden at a new place. Can't wait til the following years to see it mature. I do the same thing, raised rows with wood chips, they actually look very similar, lol. I'm in 7A and already picking tomatoes and squash but my last frost date is April 1st, yours will be ready in no time! I'm sticking in flowers as well, beauty and medicinal. Those little holes on the eggplant leaves aren't from watering. Eggplant does that from bugs. I never have gotten any plants that don't do that, lol, and I water at night. The secret to a crunchy pickle that I have found is to not put the cukes in with the hot liquid. I don't cook mine together as some call for and I let my liquid cool a bit before putting it in the jars with the cukes. They stay crunchy and very light colored.

[@sharonparker2262]

Bri, your joy in your garden is inspiring. Yes, no matter what, we are always learning and adapting to our situation and area. I have always had a garden, but now due to the size of my yard and underground gas lines, everything is growing in raised beds. I do grow potatoes in bags. They need frequent watering. Next planting I'm going to try using a baby pool to keep moisture in. Still having a problem growing beets and cabbage. Trying again in the fall. Have a blessed day dear

[@amyfaith2350]

I put shade cloths on my greens and have them all summer. And, in Central Texas. They are a must.

Your garden is SO beautiful!! Please remember that onions are edible at every stage of life and they dry very well or freeze dry very well in circles! My yard is 20feet out from my home all the way around. I have 8 gardens that stretch all the way across 2 sides of my yard. I love to walk through my gardens in the morning. It helps me to see who is doing well or not but it rained all day yesterday and my gardens look so beautiful!!:-) Maybe if you put a shade cloth up, your carrots will be sweeter? I have oak barrel halves and grow potatoes very well. There are only indeterminate potatoes available to grow in our area of BC . I grow Red Chieftain potatoes. Next year I will add some fingerlings, as well. I have found that cucumbers love to grow with radishes and they are very heavy water drinkers. Perhaps you have something growing next to your cucs that compete? I too love flowers all over the gardens. I also have been adding things that I have never grown before. This year glass gem corn and broccoli, brussels and cauliflower from seed. I just learned that dill does not like to grow with carrots. When cooking with peppers I like to wait until just before the dish is served and add the tiny chopped peppers. Then they are not slimy. Brightest Blessings

I would flip the strawberry /flower be just because of the shadow (probably late or early but still) so that in springtime the soil is sunny and warmed up. Annual flowers care a little less about sun aspect.

I also was in a rut that you are so helping me pull out of and just ignored my garden for two years. This year I am gun ho again and as I watch it start to go my whole self being is almost back again. It is really chilly to here at night and morning which is very odd.

My last Tithonia bush was 7 feet tall. They are an absolutely beautiful flower and will attract so many pollinators, including hummingbirds. Please consider moving those plants to areas where they can grow to their full potential.

I just purchased 3 unusual herb plants, Im not sure if they sell them in US but Mushroom Plant, Herb leaves taste like mushroom, Cola Plant (great for cocktails smells like Cola bottle candy) and Olive Herb Plant great with Italian recipes, all are growing well only have one of each but so happy with them. And Im sure next year they will grow a-lot bigger, oh and I have found Garlic Kale Seeds which I have sown so cant wait to try that.
