I'm Proud of This Lazy Garden! | FULL August Garden Tour 2024!

[@firemaster610]

Anne, as a gentleman gardener may I thank you for being my inspiration for trying new ideas and not fear garden failures, your willingness to share the good, the bad and authentic experiences is what makes me love your work. A tip of my straw hat to my garden therapist 😊

[@SQLUniversity]

@firemaster610 I couldn't agree more!

[@sparrowsknow8491]

As someone who does understand sarcasm, I just want to say thank you for all your hard work. I know you’re the “lazy” gardener, but I appreciate you so much. I’m hoping to use your wisdom to have a beautiful lazy garden of my own. This season left a lot to be desired this year. Also would love to see a video on how you preserve all of your amazing harvest!!! Thanks Anne. Praying all the best for you and Adam… as long as he doesn’t step on another watermelon vine 😅❤

[@jannafolsom1069]

I would LOVE a second Anne channel that's not so 'family friendly'. Only because I see a glimmer of ornery in her eyes. She does an EXCELLENT job of keeping this channel of. It'd just be nice to see her cut loose is all. ❤

[@amyandmax]

I think this all the time! I bet she’s the absolute life of every room, it’d be fun to she her not hold back for the kiddos cuz you can totally tell she is 😂

[@brookeleary1682]

Thanks for all the garden goofiness, really appreciate the genuineness and like the kindness approach, it makes you feel so nice

[@Mossy179]

You are such a joy to listen to... ❤❤❤ The tail slapping the face.. 😅 "Do you mind ma'am?".

Don't compare your begining to someone else's middle. Love this!

Creeping Charlie aka ground ivy, a powerful healing herb found nearly everywhere, was the original herb used in beer. Only after centuries of cultural upheaval did hops replace Charlie.

Popcorn: the Lord's vehicle for butter. 😁 Yesssssssss. 😋

[@maryschrier651]

Another trick is planting pole beans with tomatoes along a fence. With a little encouragement the bean vines help keep the tomatoes more upright.

[@sandrad518]

Thank you Anne, love your videos! ❤ My garden is no where near lazy yet, though I have been working on putting down cardboard and mulch a bit at a time.

[@jenagarcia1728]

the cutest sprite gardener ever! great info and humor to boot!

[@ShootingtheSoil]

Was listening to a podcast with Christine Jones and she was talking about fenugreek and it can give cows milk a slight maple syrup flavor!

[@alexhuxley3355]

Misshapen cucumbers still great for my fav Tequila drink. TEQUILA Eastside Cocktail 3 slices Cucumber 6 Mint Leaves 2 oz. TEQUILA 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup (sugar / water at 50/50 dissolved) 1 oz. Lime Juice fresh Crush cucumber and mint with the lime juice - add everything else, strain into glass with ice.

You are the best! Thanks for yours, and your trusty cameraman’s, fabulous, fun and fruitfully inspiring videos 😊🌱💗

[@carissalizotte8977]

I swear chard is invincible! We live in Maine and it’s the only thing in my garden that year after year does great with virtually no pest pressure. I can do other brassicas like cabbage, broc and cauliflower Brussels etc.. no go. Cabbage worms and white moths every time..

[@SavvyGirl515]

Everytime you say "boy howdy", I always imagine that Howdy goes "Why yes I am. Thank you for always talking about me, two-legged, mother-human." 😊❤ Thank you for another informative video, I like seeing the process and the joys and struggles and everything. Helps me understand all the REAL parts of gardening/homesteading.

[@MorePranaGardens]

Hahaha. My ENTIRE chicken run is thickly covered in cucamelons that volunteered from last year. SO many cucamelons! Haha, and very cool and happy chickens.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I bet the chickens are in heaven!

[@vernamcguire6759]

Im trying to figure out what to plant on my chicken fence that would give them shade, yet be edible.

[@chelseagrimsley6689]

What you might be brewing (or thinking about) would actually be called a braggot if I recall correctly, bc you are using honey instead of sugar.

[@Simply.Owanda]

Gosh I love this woman!!!! I’ve only “recently” found you and even with all the AMAZING gardening channels I’ve followed for years, you my dear are the biggest inspiration!!! Having just bought a wood chipper/ mulcher ( and being in Australia/ middle of spring) I’m yet again another year behind 🙄 but one day! Onnnneee day I’ll be the Aussie version of you ❤

[@christiantheriot6604]

This is everything I want my garden to be, but also, thank you so much for teaching me to chill out and let nature do its thing for me

[@debrahansley]

Anne! We have the same issues! That weird fungus is on my fruit trees and bushes and some flowers. I have a ridiculously huge chard amongst non existent brassicas, with the same climate issues here in Virginia! Thanks for the video...and the sarcasm😊

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Genetically modified and hybrid is two different things. Developing varieties via breeding and seed selection in Genetic manipulation, but not modification. Genetic modification refers to forcing genes of one species into the DNA of another species.

[@lifeslittlegardens]

15:07 , great advice. Know when to cut the losses and focus your energy on something else. We have definitely made that mistake a few times in a couple of our videos too. Video is great as always!

[@janellnewton469]

Our daughter recently started her new career in Nevada. She met friends there that shared a cooking class with her. They used amaranth leaves kinda like I do mustard greens….cooked down in skillet. She said they were really good! ❤️ Btw your girls tail swats were so funny! Gotta love our farm animals! 😂

[@garydargan6]

My daughter in law makes her own chili and garlic paste as a side business. She wears a full face gas mask when she cooks. Even with the kitchen door shut the air filter at the other end of the house flashes deep purple to indicate heavy pollution. Sadly I can no longer eat spicy food it has the same effect as being hit with pepper spray. Instant asthma.

[@karenw9996]

First of all, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I myself am a lazy gardener, so kudos to us both! Aside from that, I would like to point out two things. One: plants in nature are not genetically modified, they are hybridized - genetic modification involves making changes to plants (and animals) that would NOT happen in nature. That said, NONE of the seeds sold to home gardeners are genetically modified, at least at this time - unless, of course, some of those little GMO anarchists have cross-pollinated with plants from which seeds were saved, but I think they test for that. Two: capsaicin is only found in small amounts in the seeds - the bulk of the capsaicin is found in the pith. Don't know how you handle that heat & humidity - I struggle with it being too hot & humid in Minnesota!

[@lisam5744]

I'm changing around my garden paths (I'm in Florida...lots of heavy rains so raised beds and containers) by putting down every box I can put my hands on and putting mulch down on top. But so far I'm loving what I have done so far. Thanks for the idea. BTW-hate mowing! LOL

[@chabelameneses4661]

Anne, I always love your videos about your garden. I have learned so much from each (and forget just as much so I have to go back and review) and remain inspired to persevere through the times I just want to rip things apart. Like July and August in middle Georgia aka hell.

[@jackiem8578]

Always lots of fun watching your videos as well as learning lots. thanks. Jackie - Adelaide Hills, South Australia

[@fuzzy1joe]

Anne - this is your best video yet. Sparky, free and loaded with great info. Cheers!

[@daunesmith6859]

You are hilarious and wish I lived nearby! The music in the background is spot on! Thank you for making my day so much better and putting a smile on my face!!!

[@Pleurigloss]

Right on time. I was JUST thinking I needed an Anne vid.

[@lindaschilling6999]

I just wanna adopt you! LOL!! You’re teaching this old lady new tricks and have me laughing all day long. Keep up being a lazy gardener!

Oooo she’s wearing THOSE overalls! I’ve had them all over my fyp lately.

[@LaconicMuse378]

I’m so glad to find out that my lazy way of gardening is actually a viable thing. I was noticing that things were working better and worse than I thought, but I love to be surprised by nature, so I’m glad I can keep doing what I’m doing with some of your experience to enjoy gardening my way.:)

[@JillRoss-k6l]

I just love you! Those overalls are totally adorable by the way! Keep doing you and stay lazy my lady! Thank you for your content and awesome information!

[@pq7185]

I am finally restarting a mini 4x8 garden so I can replenish the soil and turn it into a blackberry patch next year

[@delila1830]

Careful! Blackberries are empire builders and can get out of control. I have a dream of creating BlackBerry fencing at the edge of a property and letting it consume the area making my borders secure and delicious (from zombies but just ignore that part tee hee).

[@pq7185]

@@delila1830 the area is just a little stepped pad with railroad ties around it almost making it a raised bed sticking off the side of the house. The perimeter is surrounded by brick walkways and mulch so it would have to go pretty wild with runners to escape. We tried growing fruit trees there before and the light was too low and the trees failed after 5 years when a storm took them out. Over time,, the only plants that grew well in this location were strawberries, dandelions, and thistles so I could probably put an artichoke in there if I change my mind later. Right now though, I'm just taking all the ancient seeds we had from another garden over a decade ago and seeing what germinates as we enter the fall season

[@rbrojas2040]

NOOOOE the twisted root tree didn't make it. 🥲 Man, what a journey. But the peach tree is looking amazing. I'm hoping the nectarine makes an appearance.

[@LBRS2nd]

She only swings her tail in that one direction while being milked. ❤😂😂

[@Dom10Sage5]

Love your idea to brew your own beer using what you grow. That is one of our goals as well. We grow Columbus hops, Petoskey, and Tea hops. We have them taking over everywhere, and im ok with that! Lol Which hops variety do you grow? My favorite color is also purple, and I try to have a lot of purple in my garden. Mostly it's zinnia and peppers at the moment. 😅 Love your channel. I tend to have roughly a 90% lazy garden. I hope to have a completely lazy garden in the near future. It's fairly easy here in central Arkansas.

[@HeatherNaturaly]

I had a MASSIVE amaranth grow last year. It was almost a tree. 8ft tall and 8 foot around the greenery. I shook those seeds all over my back area in the hopes the amaranth would drown out the ragweed. Not. One. Single. Amaranth. Grew! The back area is just a sea of ragweed.

[@phtochk7]

You are wearing the new Duluth trading overalls! I just got my first pair and love them!

[@cindyspiess9963]

THANKS ANNE LOOKIN GOOD THERE ! HAPPY SUMMER 🍉

[@loribell6453]

Your "cucamelons" I suspect are Melothria pendula, or Creeping Cucumber. I discovered them at the edge of a field a few years ago and then they showed up in my backyard bird garden last year. I harvested as many as I could, but there were A Lot more this year. Great edible ground cover the way it's looking right now, although I've read eating too many (of the green ones) at a time might lead to digestive issues, and that they become toxic once they turn black. Will be interesting to see how much more of the garden they cover next year?

[@suzyq6767]

I think you're adorable from a fellow thriving ADD friend. I could listen to you all day. Thanks for the good advice.

You are truly good for my heart!❤

[@AmyMLevy]

Ok... I had to laugh at the spice challenge. For several years my younger adult son lived with us. The challenge, when he cooked dinner, was to make a dish that was too spicy to eat. My husband tapped out pretty early in the challenge, but no matter how spicy my son's cuisine (and he tried every spicy pepper dish recipe he could get his hands on), I would go back for seconds. The challenge ended when he cooked some Thai dish that was so hot that he couldn't eat it himself - but he didn't tell me until after I'd finished my plate that he'd given up and was declaring me the winner. Good times. I've got a few varieties of spicy peppers growing in my (first year) garden. My husband is very cautious every time I bring one in for him to cook with!

[@rachelchrisman1858]

OMG I realized after you spoke of your love of spice... It would be an honor to see you on "Hot Ones" with Sean Evens, another very respectable KZbinr, who eats spicy wings with folks during a Very well thought out interview... I never like to tell someone WHAT to do, but introduce them to another Inspirational person!!!🤗🤗🤗 It seems like a wonderful duo!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@PlantsAndInsects]

The pith is what holds the chili pepper seeds, and the chemical produced is called Capsaicin :)

[@RobertoJuanSurMontana]

Yes, your beer dream sounds like a combination of Mead, meets Ale, meets Gruel. I brew. I grow and use my hops. I do not have an apiary, but still dream about it. The honey is tricky since it slowly ferments (Mead), and if fully fermented it does not taste like honey anymore, but if you overdose the honey (which is fine) but the yeast will be thwarted and the ferment would not be complete. The hops is essential as a "preservative" but get the cohumolone in balance sine too much bine cones (yup, "b"), the hops, has a zingerlicious taste that only the brewer tends to like. Organic Fungus Fighter = copper spray. A law for your vines: don't tie one's shoes in your watermelon area or the perpetrator will be accosted for thievery!

[@mikrostone3149]

"That's a level four offense, dear camera man! Watermelon is LIFE!! 😂 Totally cracked me up laughing out loud😅.

[@bethschroeder2482]

@@caribbeancharmgardening90 I got spider mites this year on my peppers and killed them by drowning them. I soaked the ground under the infestation and then sprayed them off the plants and they died in the water. I tried diatomaceous earth and that didn't kill them enough, but water did lol

And I will try your tip about fig cuttings, because my parents have a special very delicious variety that I would love to have more of.

[@powaqqatsi8]

Most aphids are there due to the ants farming aphids. Find and destroy the ant mound. Also, I use clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil”, or “clarified hydrophobic neem oil” in both a foliar spray or as a soil drench at the base of okra plant. This works for many plants as well. Best to apply it after a rainstorm or inbetween waterings. Best of luck.🙂

[@c.mcmahon494]

Hybrids versus GMOs. I am thinking that maybe you are talking about hybrids around timestamp 32:08. GMOs, the ones that many don't like have animal and insect DNA spliced into them in a lab to make them more resilient to Round-Up and glyphosate. Cross pollination = sterile hybrids. GMO = frankenfoods that are causing inflammation that we see in everyone today. I am no expert but GMOs are bad in my estimation. Hybrids make very interesting plants and fruit but are only make reproducible plants by the cross pollination of two parent plants. Bees can do this thus the need to not have two varieties of cucumber next to each other or you won't know what you are getting next year (and the seed won't be viable). Great video BTW. I appreciate your content very much.

[@gbdfawoman]

I absolutely agree about GMOs vs hybrids.

[@triplecreekfarm2007]

Agree, except for the sterile hybrid part. Cross pollination does create hybrids, but they are not always sterile.
