It FINALLY HAPPENED! I Knew BETTER!

[@TanaLopez99]

I am not throwing shade here, but I just want to say that before this became the "Bri from Scratch" channel I would watch this channel occasionally. Now that Bri has taken over the channel, this has become my FAVORITE youtube channel to watch. I think maybe it's just the feminine voice/touch/style and Bri's personality. I watch this channel and get so motivated to garden and get things done. Thank you for all that you do to motivate, inspire, and TEACH all of us valuable skills, Bri. Huge supporter here!

Oh my goodness Bri the respect you give your kids when speaking to them comes back when they speak to you. I am helping out at a after school program and the way these parents speak and treat their children is just appalling! Thank you so much for the way you are raising your kids. I know it is not easy but you are such a breath of fresh air in this world.

[@nancychristiansen3735]

deer netting- usually used as a fence but you could lay it over your rows like the tule and the bees can still get to the plants.

[@Haffy1952]

You probably already know this but corn does better when planting in blocks instead of a single row like you were saying. You will get better pollination when planted in blocks. Just my opinion.

[@abbiebarnes2200]

it isnt an opinion it is a fact blocks work...long rows not as much corn!

[@kskorner74]

Following square foot gardening you can do 9 plants per square foot

@@kskorner74 of beans not of corn.

[@irili100]

‬‏ ‏‪8:00‬‏ Hi Bri and all the kids. I wanted to correct a very common mistake. A corn plant does not need bees or other insects for pollination. The corn needs a wind that spreads the pollen on the cobs. That is why the seeds are planted densely so that each plant will fertilize itself or the others. If there is no wind, you can pollinate manually by collecting the ripe pollen from the top of the plant and scattering it on the hairs of the cobs.

[@MissBetsyLu]

If rows are running north south (not East West) can plant in both sides of corn row. Otherwise corn will shade one row too much. Many blessings everyone.

I'm on the same page with you leaving the garden uncovered! The deer found me last year and made my yard their regular route. 😱 the liquid fence is safe and effective!

[@GrammyDanie]

To make the most of the garden space you have you can intensively plant. Look up square foot gardening. As an example, I plant beans 4” apart in all directions in the garden row, fitting 4 rows in the typical 30” bed. It leaves less room for weeds and more room for food!.

[@janiecehamblen933]

Garlic also repels, I put some, just from the store (organic) all over the place. It doesn't produce a nice bulb but you can cut and come again.

I bought marigold seed at the dollar store for 25 cents each and they were great. Got zinnias too and the germination was good. Might give it a try.

Zinnias are for sure easy to grow from seed. My concern with the marigolds is that I will be harvesting before they even bloom if I put them in from seed now.

I absolutelty love how your gsrden is coming along! Your kids are such a great help, and i loved watching them get excited for the peas hehe! Those arched trellises may pop off the tposts, if its not too late i would highly suggest putting them on the inside of the posts so the pressure is against the posts and not away from them so they could spring out. Zip ties dry rot fairly quickly. :) Happy harvest!!!! Love your channel, i have watched from the very beginning! ❤

My kids were almost nine years apart. One day the youngest was eating spinach off my plate. She was barely two and loved spinach. UNTIL one day the oldest said "EWWWW She's eating spinach!" For years that child never ate spinach again. Made me kinda mad. LOL But, she wised up. It's so funny to see one love broccoli and the other not. It reminds of that time with the spinach.

Or really any interruption. 😂 You are an example of hard work and loving patience with your children. Thanks for posting these snippets of your life. God bless! ❤

[@arlenemiller8766]

An idea that someone gave me to deter deer from your garden is to buy Irish Spring soap bars and hang them in old panty house around your garden edge. You could hang them on your hoops along the garden path. We did that for our small garden on the edge of the woods and it worked for us. I just did that again this spring for where I had transplanted hostas and it is working there as well. Just a suggestion!!!

[@ellenclayton5955]

A tip on the yard long beans---pick them before they get a yard long. As they get big the texture gets a bit tough. They do not can well at all as they get extremely mushy. They were mediocre frozen.

[@kathywills3244]

Solar animal repeller may work they make those for deer as well. Have a blessed day!

Cut up Irish spring soap and place the chunks around the outside of the garden, The deer don't like the smell and will stay away, . I cut each bar into about10 pieces. I have tied them in mesh bags and tied them to posts ,but last year I just put the chunks on rocks and it worked the same.
