Full Field Tour - July

[@terrykingsallotmentgardening]

Absolutely been glued to this Ryan and zucchini don't like moisture on the stems so you may have to ridge them and bring them on in trays first. Love to everyone and we all appreciate your hard work. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you for taking the time pal!! I almost always sow far more than I need, in anticipation of me killing a goodly amount...and I didn't this time. Next year will be different! All the best to you and your family my friend, thank you for the kind words:)))

Hi Ryan thank you this was absolutely brilliant you and your daughter are amazing 👏 Your crops look tiptop we are so happy for you there , shows what all your hard work is achieving I salute you both. Keep safe Bill and val

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Bill!! We are trying buddy…. Ain’t failing due to lack of effort this year ! Have a great week my friends🤗

[@mio.giardino]

Give the lavender a year, it takes time to establish. Hope y’all are staying cool up there and it was great seeing an update.🙂👍🏻

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks my friend, I'll try to keep it alive!! Darn warm for us....I'm sweating in parts I forgot i had:)))

[@whatigrownlallotment7498]

Hello Ryan you're never rambling, yes you are getting better every year. What a fantastic sight. Every thing is looking healthy. And you too look healthy and happy. have a lovely weekend. Joyce 🌱💚

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Why thank you Joyce, I worry my mouth runs as much as my mind does. I am very proud of our effort this year and it shows in the results. I am healthier, been 9 months with no drink, a clear mind and 16-18 hours a day work. I find it easier to deal with being lonely when I work my ass off lol. All the best my friend:))

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Your crops are looking awesome. It is so nice to see everything coming together and all of your hardwork and planning starting to pay off. Even though you are likely busier than ever, you seem happier and less stressed. Great to see you happy and successful. Obviously you and the girls make a fantastic team.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you PPG, I appreciate that! Nice of you to say that, I have never worked this hard, nor been this happy working! My girls are incredible and I am very fortunate they are invested in the farm...it's part theirs now so we all have skin in the game:))

[@patriciancube394]

Very excited to see what you have growing. Everything looks great. Thanks for sharing.👍🏾

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hello my friend!! Thank you kindly:)))

[@ronaldandsusanshaws-growing]

Hi Ryan, Thank you for the field tour, absolutely fantastic, I pleased that William is advising you on certain things he does know his stuff, You and your daughters are working very hard and no doubt long hours, I have to be honest I'm blown away by the amount of produce you are growing, Take care my friend and I will catch you on the next one.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Sorry I’ve done so little videoing. It’s just crazy busy. I miss making them and sharing. Willie is a great guy and cares about how we do, super nice to have his support!! Ha e a great week my friend😄

[@ronaldandsusanshaws-growing]

@@Mrsnufleupagus And you Ryan

[@BenniLkitchengarden]

I’m so happy to see that you are doing so well at your market garden. You have really done an amazing job, you and your daugther. I’m very impressed by your onions. All those onions from seed😳. Nice tips of slow bolting spinach variety, I love iceberg lettuce, but I agree, they rot in no time in rainy weather and are a waste of time. We understand that you are busy and work the hell out of you, so many thanks for taking the time to put up a video. I enjoyed every minute of it👍 Fingers crossed for your crops, Ryan. All the very best.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Love your comments my friend. And not just on my channel...you are a very good grower, knowledgable and always have kind words to say. I appreciate your support and encouragement more than I'd imagine you know!! Kids are working so hard it's pride inducing lol! I'll only grow onions from seed....did you see any going to flower?? Nope, me neither:))))) Space is spinach from johnnys and it does well in this climate, might be worth a go for you. I maay try that devil berg lettuce but in the greenhouse...we shall see. Thanks again Benni, much love my friend:)))

[@BenniLkitchengarden]

@@Mrsnufleupagus So nice of you, Ryan💚 I did not see a single bolted onion, and thats also why I always grow them from seed. The onions bulbs you buy here is just so bad, soft and half of the packet you can’t plant and half of those you plant go to seed. You have to buy Mr. Coleman a beer or two for that onion advice🍺

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

What an awesome catchup my friend. That's a really impressive set up you've got going on there now, the hours that you and the girls have put in is really showing with the amount of produce you are growing, it's inspiring to see you doing so well. Long may it continue. Cheers Adam

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

8 months with no drink buddy. I swore if I failed this year I wouldn't have any excuses from an effort stand point. Thanks for your kind words and support....meaans the world to me:))))

[@janetleeharrison]

What a professional market garden you've got growing! It's just insane to see how much you've expanded. I can easily see that you've perfected the planting schedule as there aren't any empty rows. Dare I say that next year you will need more land? Keep your eyes peeled for an opportunity for market garden #2 - preferably near this operation, of course. Super Happy for you & the girls!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

We are sure trying my friend, it's looking great in my eyes! We will keep working hard and we shall see about other opportunities. Thank you for your support pal, it's really nice to have:)))

[@trollforge]

LOL, Green Beans, I can't have once in ten years without getting sick of it... It's a texture thing...

Thanks Babs....we are trying:)))

[@bjklassen6086]

Looking Awesome! Great job! Keep on truckin❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Ma!! It’s looking good !!!

[@OurEcoLife]

You've come a long way since you were growing in the backyard, in a short time. Market gardeners with much more experience still make mistakes so don't beat yourself up about mistakes or things that don't work out. You'll learn and do better each year. Always look forward to a better season next year.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Over all I am very happy with our growth over a short few years. Being hard on myself is normal, keeps my standards high and me grounded. Thank you friend, hope you and your family are healthy and happy:))

[@gretasgarden]

Whoa!! Fantastic farm you've created Ryan and with your lovely girls of course. So happy and excited for you. Outstanding results from your hard work and careful planning. 👏

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Why thank you my friend! Hope you have a great week:))

[@McDowallManor]

WOW Ryan!!! I am so impressed with your market garden. Amazes me what you can produce much at all in your climate. You and Kaitlin are working your ar$### ..um.. really hard! I hate Kale. LOL. I can't grow the icebergs either. Actually, can I borrow you guys for a month or so? Really glad you're coming up with plans to get through the winter. I am completely awe-struck with where you are at now.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Andy!! We are free all winter pal and would gladly help out on your awesome property!!! Ya…. One of your last vids had me laughing about the kale…. “I don’t like it”🤣

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi mate. Brilliant to see the farm. Wow I’m so impressed👍🏼. You’ve really maximised the space you’ve got and have planned what to grow to get a great succession of veg through the season. I’m super impressed with those onions. Glad that you’re able to work in partnership with the girls and get to so many markets. It was great to catch up with you on Sunday my friend. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to grow in the polys to extend your season. Take care. Nick

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks for taking the time pal!! The girls are awesome and have been a huge help this year. Love chatting with you mate, hope to be able to be more available moving forward! Next vid will show the greenhouses:)))

[@chelinfusco6403]

My dear friend!!!! I did not checked my notification bell for one day and look what I missed! YOU! Man, your hand is green! Wow. I have not had success with Lavender, Thyme and Rosemary. And my dill didn't germinated for me this year. So I will try these for a Fall crop. I think it could be the heat. I don't know. I did plant that lovely thick Sonoma lettuce and it was awesome. And your garlic.... I want some! Overall, this is the most amazing garden ever. We had a good garden, but man, nothing like yours. However, we are growing for just our family and sharing some. I'm so proud of you.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey hey palio!! So hard to keep lavender alive thru the Winter here. Few seeds like germinating in extreme heat but you have such a long season....you can sow right into Sept!! Thank you my friend, it feels good to have you proud of our work!!!! Take care of yourself please, and give my best to your handsome hubby Nick:))

[@JeromeBeeFarm]

Hey man!!!! My favorite Canadian gardener eigh? You definitely upgraded on farm land. No more thistles from Hell. Your part in there looks great. Looks like a show garden. Amazing. I’m glad to see you selling a lot and doing what you love. That watering system is pretty slick. Glad to see your daughter working with you as well. But those onions! Wowzers! Happy for you man. Keep on truckin!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey buddy!! Been an awesome year working with the girls and proud of the growth we had!! Irrigation is now a staple, no clue how I grew without it before. Thanks for your support man, I wish you and the family all the best😊🌱

[@Letyourimaginationgrowwild]

Hi Ryan mate I was so surprised to see how much you expanded your no longer just a gardner. Thanks for the look around just super amazing. Happy growing mate.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

How are ya Billy?? Thank you pal, I am getting better at farming and hopefully next year we expand again! Hope you are happy and healthy:))

[@LearningCurveAcres]

Great garden tour! Just a note on the lavender, mine took 3 years to really take off. You and the girls are doing a fantastic job, look forward to your next video. Take care my friends 🙂

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Marci! I can't keep it alive over winter lol:))

[@EssayonsFG]

Wow! A huge contrast from the last update, Ryan. The market farm is looking amazing! I wonder what the issue was with the iceberg lettuce? Maybe they need to be mounded up a bit more? Big Willie is definitely a gardening sensei we all could use. We'll try his allium trick now too. I'd be proud of the onions too! The field of onions looks amazing. We love hearing you rattle on, buddy. Keep working your butt off and success will continue to come. Cheers, Rob

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Rob!! Iceberg rots easily if too much moisture...if I were to try it again it would be in a greenhouse. Thanks for your support my friend, stuff like that keeps me going when I have cloudy days:)))

[@kath-phlox]

Fantastic video, we all understand the hard work you've had to put in, so we appreciate the time you spare to keep us updated. A great selling point for the UGLY Celeriac is it's great for diabetics, it has a very low glycemic index, so it's a great substitute for mash. I ate it a lot when I was cooking for my Dad who was diabetic, it's tastes good too. I've been multi sowing bunching onions too. :D

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Awesome info Kath, we will add that to our website when the celeriac is ready!! Nice to hear from you, I hope you are well my friend:))

[@gardentours]

Your corn 🌽 is really looking absolutely fantastic 👍

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Much appreciated:)

[@kathivy]

Thank you for doing an update! It’s really nice to see what you’re doing and it’s also super helpful to see what’s working and what isn’t. I’d love to watch a video with details about seeder & rollers that you’re using. I’d like to try beets as transplants instead of Jang seeding. I watched a green onion seeding video by Willy a few years ago and have done them as sets since then and I’ve had great results too. This year I planted the onions into tubs instead of soil blocks and that didn’t work out as well. Great idea doing a lot of storage crops for winter sales. Your storage onion field is gorgeous and you’re really improving your program. Continued good luck to you! Sorry that my comment turned into a book 😄

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey pal!! I may do that vid on the seeder, I am feeling far more confident with it these days. Beets I will always transplant from now on. Willie is great with his onions and I'm glad he shared that info with me. Thanks for the comment, I always like to see what you are up to and wish I could make more vids:))

[@mariecurrie7657]

[@robsallotmentchannel9942]

Hi Ryan Wow what an update, that was one of the best entertaining updates I have seen on youtube for ages. You must be doing around 14 /15 hours a day. Yep our William knows his onions, I been multi sowing spring onions and beetroot for years, same as my dad used to do them but we have time to be selective when we harvest them as where you as a professional need to harvest all at same time. I like growing onions as you have seen and my big ones are around 18" round at the moment. Allotment growing is far different than growing on your scale. And don't worry about getting back to people as we all know you're very busy. If you talk to William send him my regards. And looking forward to your next live stream when you can find the time. Cheers mate, take care look after yourself and family. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🧄🧄🧄🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Spot on my friend...kids and I are on the go for about 14-17hrs a day. I love your big onions buddy, and will one day venture into the gardening world and pamper smaller amounts of select veg!! The farmer I rent from had so huge onions ( Not as nice as yours) last year and we both found that nobody BUYS veg that big!! They can see how they will use it one go and just grab the normal ones lol. I'll pass on your regards to Willie! Have a wonderful week my friend:))

[@robsallotmentchannel9942]

@@Mrsnufleupagus Ryan I grow the big onions for fun and give most of them away, they are not the best tasting onions but a novelty for other people. Don't over do it mate, it is not worth it, I found that out 3 years ago. Take care and be safe. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@SouthpawDavey]

Dont know how I missed this mate.Maybe with the dog being ill and the kids being home. Shame that you are having problems with the picking and iceberg lettuce. Maybe a bit over sown but the wet weather will make a big difference. The multi sown onions and other stuff is the way to grow.. If you can works great. Go to say the that space you have is amazing. Been salad had it yesterday was so good. 6 zucchini should be enough for all Alberta lol. I had loads of germination problems this year not just you. The tunnel worked well for the corn. Buddy you are busy busy. stuff takes time. Love asparagus. Cheers.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

All good buddy, just funny that I made the vid for you< Nick and Willie....and none of you watched it without me begging, lol:))) I will try the lettuce blend in the heated greenhouse and see if I get better results. All the best my friend:))

Best of luck with the next couple of weeks which should be the hot ones right?

[@GuffeyJon]

Thanks for replying to my earlier comment. This video is great because i had the same idea with onion but couldn't find anyone until you that confirmed it worked this well. But i have questions that i hope you can help with; how many grams of onion seed do you use per 1020 tray, and how deep do you plant them? My trials this year planted 2 trays 1/1, 5-6 grams each, shallow planting- onions up in 5 days and having so many fall and not grow well that i needed to trim. then planted 2 trays 2/1, 14 grams each, between 1/4 and 1/8 in deep starting to see onion 2/11. So i'd really appreciate if you could tell me roughly how many grams per tray and how deep you plant them. Thank you.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey pal!! I have all of our seeded already for this year. I did about 800 per 10/20 tray. and simply weighed the full pack of 5000 seeds and used roughly one fifth of the bag. Seemed to me to be 5-7 g. I will have a vid out on how I start them, but I sseed like micro greens and scatter the seed on top and weigh it down for 3- days. I had zero germination issues. Hope that helps:))

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I did a couple trays where I lightly covered the seed with soil...maybe 1/8" and they turned out exactly like the trays ZI seeded on top of the soil.

[@GuffeyJon]

@@Mrsnufleupagus one of my trays from 1-1 isn't worth keeping; most onions fell over, and i read you need to trim roughly weekly or so? do you trim your onions while they are growing? if so, how often?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I feed mine once they are 4-5" tall...try that and they will stand back up. Also...you can plant they straight up went transplanting. I've heard of people trimming at the 4" stage....I haven't and they did fine last year!! Maybe I will do a tray of each variety to see if there is a difference. Check out our YT channel Thistle Hill Farms...we have our crop selection video up and I show this years onions and how thick they are seeded.
