First Garden Harvest of the Year - WOW

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Welcome to the our first garden harvest. We are super excited how things have turned out and we are getting our first yield from our new garden. It sure makes the hard work feel like it's paying off. Hope you enjoy the video and we thank you for watching and supporting the channel.

[@teresahulse8586]

Your garden looks great y’all have done a great job and now you are reaping the rewards and that’s the best part so proud of you both and love you both very much hope to see you soon MOM

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks mom. You know I did most of the work. lol Y'all come on down. There is work to do.

[@BoxVanDee]

Home grown food is the best thing you can do for yourself, the garden looks great.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

I agree Dee. With the way things are right now with Sleepy Joe at the wheel you never know what is going to happen next. We want to be as prepared as possible. Plus it feels great to be doing our own thing and getting returns for it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@ThriftyAngela]

Wow! Your garden is looking really great!! Those jalapenos did look good! Your rabbits are going to be happy too. Thanks for the tour!

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks, the garden is doing great. We get tons from it everyday now. Lots of canning for storage this winter and helping with the grocery bill. I tried a jalpeno and it burnt me up. lol

[@earlhulse7480]

Great video son!!! Congratulations

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks dad.

[@SteveTurtle]

Nice Peppers, yes I said pepper! Your tomato's did much better than mine. Well, let's eat the melon! It's all about learning! I hope we can have one this year. Thanks William!

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

So you like my peppers huh? lol We have killed it on tomato's this year. You can't grow them in sand. I though you was from the country? You know better than that. lol I am sure you will figure it out now that you are living down there full time. Do a raised garden and add dirt. The watermelons have been great. Got one coming off today. Plus been getting a lot of cantaloupes as well. Eaten like a king man. lol Y'all should come on by for a few days.

[@Toonstead]

Everything is looking great friends! First harvest is exciting! Praying for a bountiful harvest this season! Blessings

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks Jim. Yeah you know how it is. Hard work but feels great when you start getting return. Nothing like being able to take care of your own when needed. With the way things are going right now that could be sooner than later. Sleepy Joe keeps falling asleep at the wheel. Great to hear from you buddy. Hope you and the family are well.

[@Toonstead]

@@SmallSpaceLiving I agree! Good to hear from you too! I am glad to see that you and Jessica are loving the homestead life! It is a lot of hard work but so rewarding!! You guys are doing great! Many blessings..

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

@@Toonstead Yeah man we are loving it. Getting ready to start our chickens then on to goats. Hard work is good for the soul I think. Makes me know I can still do it and not just set at a computer. lol

[@Toonstead]

@@SmallSpaceLiving yep..nothing like hard work let’s you know your alive! Especially when all those muscles are sore the next day! 😆 I am like you I spend so much time working at the computer or iPad, working on the homestead is a welcoming break.. Early mornings and late nights sometimes but it’s rewarding! Y’all have a great week watching the garden grow! Blessings

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

@@Toonstead Y'all to buddy.

[@TheJourneyAwaits]

Yum , I tell you its looking so good. Awesome thumbs up 👍

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks for watching and the comment y'all. We are trying. It's hard work but we love the homesteading life. Been great so far.

[@nomadichippie]

Miss u. Congratulations on this harvest. I need to farm on my roof lol

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Hey man, miss you too. Thanks on the harvest. I have seen people do raised beds with a bottom on their roofs. No joke. It work. lol Thanks for watching.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Yup. I think it's great you're growing stuff in your garden. Wish I could grow stuff lol. Those are nice looking jalapenos. Yum. Love hot ones. They're the best ones. Some nice peppers. I love stuffed green peppers. I need to make that. Haven't done it in a long time. Wow that's a big mater. Oh yes! Watermelon!! They are looking good. Bummer that the strawberries aren't producing. I'm so jelly of your pretty little garden. Cool that you're going to extend it. You should grow potatoes. We watched some videos on how to do that. Might give it a go next year. We'll see.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Yeah we love doing this. It has been great. I want to turn it from a garden to a crop at some point. I don't eat jalapeños, but I did try these and they burnt me up. lol We will hook you up with some next time you are in the area. Peppers too. I love the maters. The watermelon I can wait to be able to eat but I think we still have about a month on them. We are still holding out hope on the strawberries. Potatoes are for sure on the list next for year. We are planning to plant a full section of them. Look forward to seeing how yours goes if you decide to do them. We are loving homesteading. Hard work but worth it.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

🥵 should have come to Canada with us. Wow. Homestead life is agreeing with you. Great 🥗 What you going to cook for us next time we come by? That’s sweet cool. I’ve killed cactus 😆 Yellow tomato? I know nothing about vegetables Seems like you just started. Awesome job Watermelon 🍉- great for a hot day Farmer William 🤗 Oooh - strawberries 🍓 I love ❤️ Can’t wait to see 🤗

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Would have loved to came for a few weeks for sure up there. So much work here in the summer I think my summer travels are over for a bit unless local. Am planning for the winter though. You may want to ask Jessica about cooking. I assure you don't want me cooking anything. lol I suck. They start yellow than turn red in a day or so. They are full red now. I can't wait for the watermelon. We still have about 30 days till they will be ready. We are still holding out on the strawberries and they come back so maybe next year will be better. I like the name Farmer William. lol

[@JurgensJourneys]

Hey that’s great! You’re going to have a ton of peppers and tomatoes 🍅. We’ve been picking ours too, but only have a few potted plants 🪴. Sue has canned a dozen pints of pickles and salad cubes. And we are dicing and freezing peppers almost daily. Tomatoes are so good when they can be vine ripened, and we’re having tomato sandwiches 🥪 and BLTs that are sooo good. You guys are so blessed to have such a great garden spot. Thanks so much for sharing your first harvest!

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Hey Jurgen, thanks for watching. Yeah we have some canning plans coming up. We are starting to get more maters now so we hope to can about 100 or so jars before the end of the season. Wanting to get a freeze dryer at some point. Nothing better than the taste of your own made food for sure. Hope y'all are doing well and being able to get out more. With the sleepy Joe gas situation we have canceled our trips this year. May pick back up in the winter at some point.

[@JurgensJourneys]

@@SmallSpaceLiving I hear ya buddy. I know you guys are going to have a bunch of good food to put up. You two have done a great job and I love to see people like you who are not afraid of a little (or a lot) of work. You have a fine start there. Love the watermelons! As to camping ... we already canceled a couple reservations I had made. We'll just have to wait and see how things go. You guys take care and keep up the good work. Tell Jessi I said "hi" and I know she put a lot of work into that garden too. Can't wait to see what it yields.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

@@JurgensJourneys Yeah I enjoy the work. It reminds me I can still get out there and do it when I want to and not sit at this computer all the time. Can't wait to get a watermelon to eat. Man they look good. Yeah it's crazy trying to go out and pay all that gas right now. Not to mention people are getting crazy as well with everything going on. We are starting to look at vans but not sure. Just really want something super small and easy to get around in. Yeah Jessica has the green thumb for sure. Nothing to do with me on that one. lol Always great to hear from you.

[@LivingCoast2Coast]

Looks pretty good. Y'all should make some fried green tomatoes they are so good. It nice to see green grass we are going 38 days no rain here on the ranch.

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks y'all. Come on down and we will cook them up. lol We had went about 20 days with no rain and just got a couple days worth before the video. Things are still not near as green as they should be but it was better. Having a creek helps to. lol Hope y'all get some rain soon. It has been crazy this year.

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

Great job, William and Jessica! That is one beautiful garden, and the fruits of your labor is paying-off tremendously! If Jessica says those jalapenos are hot, you better believe... they re HOT! Can't wait to see the watermelon when they're ready to harvest. Great job, you two! :)

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thanks man. We are trying. lol Man I tried the jalapenos. They burnt me up. You would love them. I was not man enough for them. lol We are about 30 days from our first watermelon if all goes good. I can't wait either. Nothing better than some big ole melons. lol

[@nancythinbluelanervlife]

Now the question is..... how can I get some of them Jalapeños ? Look at you Mr. Master farmer. Awesome job 👏 👍

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

I don't eat many of them. I can tell you I tried one and it took my breath it was so hot. I am weak though. My wife on the other hand loves them. We are now getting several everyday. Next time you all are around the TN area we will for sure hook you up. Far from master farmer. I learn new stuff everyday right after I mess something else up. lol Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope y'all are doing great.

[@missouritravelers]

we grow things on buvke

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

I say grow all you can where you can. Thank you for watching. Great hearing from y'all. Hope things are well.

[@jessicahulse6705]

Quit making me take part in your videos

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

You are the star.

[@jessicahulse6705]

I don’t think so

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

@@jessicahulse6705 It's all about you.

[@NixPix]

This was great I can’t believe you finally got there. I like to take them just as they start to turn color with tomatoes too. Once they start to turn red the critters see them and want them. Great first harvest. Do you fertilize that are all so big. You gotta go to my instagram and watch my two year time lapse of my pineapple

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Thank you so much. We are loving it. Yeah Jessica is the same way on picking early. They say it gives off a smell that brings the bugs. lol We are getting stuff daily now. We are using rabbit manure only on the garden. Seems to be working great. Will check out the pineapple time lapse for sure. Have not been on Instagram in forever. lol Thank you for watching and the comment.
