August Tour of the Tiny House Garden, Record Crops & Weeds - Food Production in the WY Mountains

[@EnglishCoach3Ts]

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I never get tired of hearing your wisdom, kindness and encouragement!

[@phyllisstein1837]

I'm glad to see Burley is still happy-go-lucky and enjoying life. Your garden is beautiful, weeds and all.

[@jccastle3452]

I love that you shared your garden weeds and all. It's such an encouragement for all of us out here who have less-than-perfect lives and are afraid to even start a garden. I love your down-to-earth, humble way of sharing. You are an incredible inspiration. Thank you for sharing your authentic life with us.

[@vallovesnature8449]

Absolutely glorious garden! I let certain weeds stay in the garden. Purslane, lambs quarters, dandelions are all useful. Prickly lettuce is actually good in a tincture for pain. I’m thrilled if I find it’s cousin, wild lettuce. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us Ariel! Much love to you & Clay❤️

[@craig9843]

Here in Georgia we have the worst weeds. I can’t explain it but they just take over everything and difficult to get under control.

[@pennyfisher3329]

Love all the info you share I hope all is well and hoping you are just busy with preserving your harvest

[@jadestar1580]

Beautiful garden weeds and all! Happy to see Burley. Would love to hear an update on him. Thank you for the video.

[@trudyschaffer8016]

You did it. You got me off of the couch and I went and WEEDED MY GARDEN! Your mention of weeds going to seed hit me like a gut punch. I got 3 - 5 gallon buckets of weeds out from the pathways of my raised beds. I will try the “weed soup” you spoke of too. Thanks for the kick in the behind, Ariel! 😉👍🥒🥦🍅🫑🧅🧄

[@derekwalters4980]

I will say, it's nice to see you actually are, indeed, human!! You are historically so efficient and orderly, and I've always wondered how you manage to do all you do. Now, seeing those weeds in your garden is kinda reassuring that sometimes even the most orderly and organized of us has to let things go every now and again. No big deal.

[@nanchesca3950]

Beautiful! I've got a 18' x 9' balcony and I've grown many things, tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets, totes as planters for lettuce, cukes, pole beans, radishes, etc

[@christineb8148]

I don't love raw radishes but they are so easy to grow so I discovered that if I treat them like small turnips, they are delicious and i love them. Cut in half and roasted or braised in some water with soy sauce and butter - so so good!

[@candacemiller-wh5rm]

Beautiful garden!!!!! Thank You for sharing!!! Please how is Burley's jaw healing? The last video I saw you said Burley was going for an exray. I thank GOD for saving him, and protecting/providing for you and Clay. Bless You and all that is yours! From Pueblo Colorado

[@patriciadesserud9402]

Weeds are not the worst thing that can happen to a garden, it would be far worse if the garden was weed free and barren. The weather has been difficult for everyone, heat,drought, too much rain too quickly. We are all members of that club this year.

[@JulieDEhomesteader]

Please give an update on Burley & your fruit trees 🤠

[@LoriSkees]

I’m in zone 6 and planting a fall garden for the first time. I’m happy to learn about those purple bush beans. They would be so much easier to find when picking. It looks like Burley is doing well. You let him wander around wherever he wanted!

[@mags102755]

I know you kept apologizing for the way your garden looks, but IMHO, your garden looks great. I'm wondering how Burley's doing. Thanks Ariel.

[@DragonflyenAmber]

Don't be embarrassed about a few weeds, we all get behind from time to time. Nice to see everything so lush for you and to see Burley out and about.

[@rubygray7749]

I'm so thrilled to see the glorious abundance here this year! Especially after the flea beetle decimation last year. That bulk of weeds is a fabulous bonus. Chicken feed, then large volumes of valuable compost. Your hard work is being amply rewarded. Blessings galore to you all.

[@kasession]

Thanks for the encouragement. I've started a small garden on my church property with cinder blocks. We planted collard greens, cabbage, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and some herbs. We harvested 3 cabbage heads and many collard greens. The tomatoes are growing like crazy, but are not quite ripe yet. The peppers are struggling, so I'm really not expecting much from them. I'm in zone 7 on the east coast. We also had record rain. Things are not perfect, but I'm looking forward to harvesting thru September, and starting another bed for next year. I also have a deck, and I've put a few pots with flowers, jalapeno peppers, cucumbers, and herbs. The jalapenos are doing very well. I only got a few cucumbers, but it was enough for a salad. I'm really enjoying everything. God Bless. 🙏🏿

[@theannecrossett7761]

Thank you so much for your garden tour...it was lovely to see you and Burley and your beautiful fruits and veggies. Please don't be embarrassed by the weeds...I know when you finally have the time you'll take care of the weeds 😁

[@patsykluting-lucas3804]

Extremely impressive garden

[@ginnyandersen8527]

Such abundance! Loved the pep talk, as well. Weeds happen as well as life. No apologies necessary.

[@maryhart637]

Weeds are just plants growing in the wrong place😂 Some of the weeds growing in my garden are very beautiful and attract a lot of pollinators 💚 We have had so much rain that much of our vegetable crop has rotted in the raised beds😩 Your garden always looks so lush and abundant❤❤❤

[@coryellpeters6099]

Thank=you for that encouragement! I live in Florida and have a very small apace for planting vegetables. I have to container garden. I haven't had much success yet over the three years because of soil health and pests, but your encouragement has boosted my desire to try.

[@donnalaughlinhogan3819]

How is Burley doing ?Your garden is amazing

[@margittkennedy1311]

I know that my chickens are great "helpers" for my weed crops! Like all birds, they kick out the seeds with their poop!

[@carolluther1625]

Your bountiful garden this year, weeds or not has done well! Very incredible! Thanks for the video!

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

gather your lettuce seeds and greens and you can grow as sprouts/microgreens. Maybe plant extra strawberry runner plants in the problem areas of native grass around your fruit trees...maybe the mighty mouse strawberries will whoop them. You can always hope. :)

[@brc9064]

I love that you were able to grow so much up there !!!! :)

[@tolowreading6807]

All your veg look better than the prize winners at the county fair I went to last week! I'm going to watch this video again right before we go to State Fair, it'll be fun to compare.

[@ladyryan902]

That is amazing. I've had to tear out some of my gardens due to heat n rain. I can't wait for the fall...try pickeling radish. Great in Chinese meals

[@jonap5740]

What a big, healthy garden with so many lovely things to eat! It was a treat also to see Burley. How are your fruit trees doing? best wishes to you and Clay and all the animals from Canada. (PS I wish I could come help weed and harvest and ready the produce for canning!) PS2 How is your brother doing? Did he manage to put in a garden?

[@dawnbaker9274]

Congtats on a good garden. How are your fruit trees doing?

[@lindaleal809]

Great to see your productive garden space. Hope the bees are doing as well. Your efforts in homesteading have always shown encouragement to others, even to this city dweller. All the best to you, Ariel, and those you love.

[@snowglobe55]

I love the honesty with the weeds, life so often gets in the way of our 'perfect' garden haha I also appreciate your encouragement to grow! I wanted to add for those in cities and without much land, community garden plots and foraging on public land can be a great alternative!

[@bettyturley6735]

I would love to grow carrots like that

[@BrLambert]

You are just keeping it real, life happens. Regardless it's still a beautiful garden, there is an explosion of color

[@Jackieb1965]

Beet greens are one of my favorite greens to eat sautéed with or without the beets❤

[@Ladythyme]

Well I’m thinking compared to the Flea Beetles from last year, weeds are nothing! Garden looks great!

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

Your big cabbage pick the big one and let the side shoots go to seed. Hello btw.

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome! 👍😎🇨🇦🌿🥦🍅🥕🧅🧄🍓💫

[@pamelahansen5928]

💝Thank you for the garden tour - love seeing Burley 💝 your encouragement is wonderful to those of us who garden

[@dorisharrison9885]

Looking good,excited to see you and doing well,the garden looks great with large veggies,Barley looks great,stay healthy 😊💕

[@janinafisher101]

So glad that Burley man is holding his own. He must be thrilled to have an occasional small stick! Your garden is amazing - how interesting that you folks had so much rain this year. Climate change is bringing all kinds of different weather. I'm glad we aren't quite as far advanced towards cold weather as you are. Happy Harvest! It is always so lovely to be able to eat from our own gardens, isn't it? I look forward to more videos as you have the time.

[@jeanetteschulthe1andOnly]

I was going to say try your fermented fertilizer. The micro organisms may help with the pests.

[@dancingcowgirl85]

I live in an apartment and I grow herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peas, lettuce, strawberries. I’m going to try a small carrot, radish and kale for the fall. The onions I grow year around. I get them in a pack at the supermarket and cut off the ends and plant them.

[@ShirleyMiller-f6p]

I love your garden and would like to hear an update on Burley’s progress.He is so special

[@alicecain4851]

I love all of the colors in your garden! The cabbages are my favorite colors. I'm excited to see more of Clay as he settles into his busy retirement - LoL.

[@lindajames4122]

I think your garden is beautiful.

[@sanguinelynx]

Your garden looks so lush! Weeds have their place in natural medicine depending on the plant. As the old saying goes: a weed is just a flower in the wrong place. Something along those lines.

[@lscostello4995]

Really amazing harvest you have grown. Wonderful foods! Weeds get ahead of most of us sometimes, not to worry 😊

[@marthabradas8873]

Very impressive yield on your beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing ! 😀

[@MsRybak1]

You’ll this over and over but that’s a very impressive garden. All veggies will be great this winter.

[@alex31p]

Wonderful teaching and advice. This year I did JADAM liquid fertilizer from fermented plants and kitchen non meat wastes. The plants did fantastic. Now will read up on using it as a foliar spray. Thank you..

[@anjav.2980]

Thank you for sharing, dear Ariel… such a great garden 🥰

[@JEMCochran49]

Impressive garden......any greenhouse projects in the future? Home grown tomatoes...yum.

[@wendyweaver8749]

@JEMCochran49 - Ariel did mention a future project to build a greenhouse in at least one video about a year ago. I think she may also have mentioned a future greenhouse in one of the intro videos to the new land. If I remember correctly, the greenhouse project would happen after Ariel and Clay build their small house.

[@oldtavernfarm]

I appreciate you sharing all your weed woes. You should see our garden! It can be disheartening! However, as you said, despite the weeds, we're still getting crops in; and it's better this year than last year, so, baby steps lol. Enjoyed the tour!!

[@annalinekennedy1027]

Thank you for all the information. Great garden en produce

[@rimonagale1625]

😊 excellent garden!

[@auntiepam5649]

Thank you so much for the lovely garden tour. I live in zone 4b with a garden 22x40 for me. Mine is fenced around allowing me space to grow cucumbers peas, pole beans and winter squash on the fence. It almost acts as a protection for the plants in the beds on the inside. Tomatoes are beautiful this year but if the weather doesn’t warm up at night a bit I will have hundreds of lbs of green tomatoes and nothing red.

[@elainefarr3155]

Your garden looks amazing! I'm so glad you had so much rain this year, made up for last years drought. I'll have to try the fermented weed fertilizer, I need to do more to strengthen my plants.

[@3rubberboats]

Great garden Ariel and each year get better. And you are going to be busy canning again this year. Thanks for sharing your bumper garden. Have a grand day.

[@ECole-le7we]

Burley looks good on camera. Is he improving?

[@donnam4612]

Lovely garden, no matter the weeds. Its so rewarding, loved the video

[@NorthMissouriOutdoors]

Beautiful there

[@lindastace5862]

Well done a fabulous garden

[@Johnsoncrna]

Your garden is magnificent!

[@pleiku887]

Everyone needs a good healthy pea.

[@tahoesnowlion]

Such an impressive garden❤. Great information & inspiration for us novices or want to 🐝.

[@platemanFYI]

Your garden reminds me of some N Alaskan garden videos. They also have a short season, yet their cabbages were HUGE! I am so happy for you to have a variety of crops to put up for the winter months. Even Burley came to eat some greens in the garden!

[@naturesmoments1297]

The weather around the globe has noticeably changed this year for many, UK has had a very wet summer but much of Europe experiencing record temps. With the record cabbage and other vegetables, do the roots go sown any further than the depth of blocks ? Glad to see Burley pottering about 👌

[@m_r---123]

Wonderful garden (even with the weeds) --- great video!!

[@thegroundedstarseeds]

Amazing video as always dear Ariel! As it is time for us all to reaffirm our sovereignty over the different corrupted industries (food an medical amongst others), growing our own organic food and medicinal herbs is one of the many amazing things we can do to better things for ourselves, loved ones and community. Bravo Ariel! 💙

[@JudyMackirdy-v7r]

What a beautiful garden

[@gailjohnson2795]

I have weeds also partly becauee of the yard next door was a rental and developed thistles which were not attended to so i have them now in addition to grass and miscellaneous weeds

[@bonniebellamy4408]

How do you keep wildlife out?

[@SundanceSerenityHideaway]

Just stumbled across your channel today! Love what you’ve done! (I subscribed). I lived in various parts of Wyoming myself for YEARS! Love that state! (I’m no longer there, but it still calls me).

[@lenellamaxwell6934]

Beautiful garden!

[@lindageorge6174]

Ariel what was that little gray building with the black door close to your garden? How is Braylee doing? It's hard to believe you can find enough space to store that much food after you harvest it! 💞

[@Socute4u]

Great garden 👍 What's your average high temperature 🌡 this season?

[@Chgtuber]

So helpful! Will be getting into that fermented weeds spray fertilizer :)

[@velvetreynolds5458]

Do you have a freeze dryer ?? Or would you use one 🤔

[@2MorMor]

NICE !

[@bellasouthward5362]

I LOVE your channel. I have Bocking 14 variety of Comfrey that I got originally from Perma Pastures Farm. Want some? I would happily send it to you. Comfrey actually works even better than weed tea fertilizer and is so useful for natural medicine. Please tell me what half rounds you use to support your freeze cloth. It looks sturdy and I would like to get them. Blessings Bella

[@MsAbtb]

Hi, i love your garden and the lifestyle you are living... I was wondering what are those steel/metal frame you use on the raised beds to hold the frost covers?

[@24carrotgold8]

I found out that roasted radishes taste like potatoes but with only 1/5th the carbs. 😋

[@leonaowen9234]

How do you do your soil testing? Really enjoy all your videos.

[@carolynmoody9460]

❤

[@ankiking]

Aren’t there hardy tomatoes that would grow there? They grow well in Norway which has similar conditions.

[@denisejones1863]

Bailey update?

[@brc9064]

forgive me if you answered this question - how long did you have to go shopping before your harvest started producing ?

[@sarkybugger5009]

Ariel, in all the years I've been subbed, I've never seen your garden looking so unkempt. How on earth do you plan on eating 150 lb of cabbage?

[@femalecrusader8389]

Love your garden, gald it turned out great this years when it was a late start. 🪴🥕🧄🥬

[@allie1953]

Poor gardening year for us (Central NH). Too much rain, too cool, not enough sun. The azaleas are blooming now.... We've had plenty of cherry tomatoes but everything else is languishing or failing.

[@yellowboot6629]

👍💕

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Do you pressure can also?

What are the requirements to legally have a tiny home on property in Wyoming?

[@cherylcoan]

In the panhandle of N. Id. we have grasshoppers, they have destroyed my garden this year.

[@suelatendresse6905]

Do you not grow tomatoes at all? How about squash or pumpkins or zucchini?
