The weather has been wonderful and the garden is finally starting to grow. Today we take a walk-through and do a little work. Once we were done Dan and I headed up the mountain to see if Dan could fix a winch and pull out one of our very stuck bulldozers. We're building a pond and so far it's not going super well. We've unk not one, but two bulldozers so far.
Thanks for watching!

I enjoy weeding as well. Watching the sprinklers is right up there. At 71, I have to get clear down on the ground on my side and inch along like a worm. It's good therapy. Sometimes the neighbors go by and stop wondering if I'm dead. A quick thumbs up and we are good. An old timer gave my some good advice - 'put a 5 gal bucket at the end of each row so you can get up!' Such a relaxing channel! 🙂

[@paulsims6888]

Thanks for the bucket tip!

[@SJC49]

I drag a small plastic stool with me - like the kind kiddies use at the sink. Helps with my bad knee when getting up. That’s okay though because no way I’m giving up gardening!😍🇨🇦

[@jeneanegarwood7528]

Thanks for another wonderful garden tour! I love seeing you with your animals and seeing how caring and affectionate you are with them. I hope Dan gets everything taken care of with no more issues.

[@elisatomczak4928]

I love your channel Chelsea, especially your garden tours. Your joy & passion comes through. It really shows how much you enjoy your time in the garden, it’s contagious 😊

[@greenrockgarden2851]

🫣ohhh nooo! How frustrating about the stuck tractors. Haha! I can imagine the words slipping from Dan’s mouth. It’s all going to be worth it in the end.

[@ForexDan_]

You give us such regular content, thanks so much 🙏

[@JensineDangervil]

I just love your videos where you work in the garden and update us on the homestead happenings. Fingers crossed that Dan will be able to get out those tractors.

[@sharynbaker1266]

we have a tip for your root cellar! our Ontario farm was built in 1843 and our cellar used sand to protect the vegetable's in each box the hallway is where the sand goes as you use up your veg! as a kid i got in trouble for not digging out the bottom veg when next years crop was ready! because of the sand eliminating oxygen and keeping them safe from bugs and rodents i did not think my father would notice ! but he did! all of the veg was so fresh i couldn't tell the difference!

[@mary-chiltonvanhees1201]

My favorites are simple ones. Zinnias lots of sizes and colors! And nasturtium! I love the round green leaves of the nasturtium plants and especially the orange flowers. They often have a rosy orange that contrasts beautifully with the leaves. I also love that Claude Monet had nasturtiums growing along his garden, trailing out onto the paths.

[@victoriabrack6283]

I wish you two Luck. I know how hard it is to battle through setbacks and rain coming, too. Can't wait to see them pulled out.

[@TinyBarnFarm]

I love weeding too! I'm also a big fan of My Self Reliance.... we've been watching him for years!

[@ThemScreamingGuitars]

My favourite flowers to grow is cornflower, calendula, cosmos and sunflowers 😊 Your flowebed is going to look amazing!

[@1944chevytruck]

agree! last number of years sucked with smokey air and cloudy smoked filled skys!

[@allisonhartley6712]

I had zinnias self seed all along the gravel between my garden beds. I just left them go and have been cutting them almost every day. They just keep sending up flowers and I am here for it. Makes walking through the beds a little interesting but the flowers are beautiful

[@deecorey2910]

I love weeding, the sense of accomplishment 😊 some of my favorite flowers, zinnias, marigolds, calendula.

[@user-km2ud6ii9q]

Blackberry Lily! Mine are orange and red. Original was from a bird dropping. I had no idea what it was and called it Twisted-Sister until someone in our garden club told me. Everyone wanted seeds because no one had them!!!!! Also love Love in the Mist and Okra blossom.

[@kathykarstaedt5243]

I'm loving your content! I learn a lot, and appreciate your laid-back, gentle nature. It's obvious you, and your family work hard, yet enjoy what you do. You teach me; you inspire me; your recipes are great! THANKS!!!!

[@johnensminger7675]

Thanks for the update on the farm!😊

[@Kats_Tea_Time]

I am learning so much in this video! (as always lol) Thank you!

[@judygillespie3242]

I love to bring the flowers indoors. They will continue to bloom outdoors. Taking some for indoors won't make a difference.

[@dawngraf6121]

I would love to come and stay with you for a week you're place is amazingly beautiful..

[@nerissaangel5200]

Thank you for the information on tomato temperatures! That explains why we are struggling in Oklahoma

[@margarettt7675]

I love the sound of the cows in the background while in the high tunnel. I have fond memories of childhood, accompanying the neighbour down a dirt track to fetch the cows home at end of day, hearing them when they grazed near the house.

[@karincope3019]

I moved my green pepper plants that I gave in containers on Sunday afternoon and today when went to water something had eaten more then half of the leaves off my green pepper plants :( , I have large folding nets that I found and put over , hopefully they will come back .

[@jeanbrooks1617]

Great video and your skin just looks glowing!!

[@WaterisJoy]

They say it’s not called “work” if you love what you do. Well, it’s a lot of work but how satisfying and fulfilling this must be for you, Chelsea. You seem to derive so much joy from your farm. It brings me joy watching you make it all work. And, you are so grateful for everything which makes it an even greater privilege to watch. 😊

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I really do! Thank you.

[@lesliecrawford6517]

It's in the upper 90°s to low 100°s F here for at least 3 months anymore ( true north Texas) very little humidity, we still get tomatoes.

[@danamama6766]

I love the greenstalk. Right when you were looking at it and saying how much you loved it reminded me of how much you always make my night especially when I feel down. With all the things you love. Food, family, your animals and gardens etc., everything. Not taking anything for granted. Makes me come back up and smile. I have some cosmos going this year too. So excited. Awww poor Dan however there is always a bigger thing that can rescue. :) Love the thought of a water pond too how wonderful. Love that you still keep old machines alive. They can still be productive. hugs

[@naomihartman6623]

I love pains y they were my poppas favourite flower purples burgundy I like the deep rich colours

[@dancingcowgirl85]

We have so many garlic scape this year. We’ve picked 2 grocery bags and have probably that again to pick.

[@kittyhill3614]

I planted buttery yellow snap dragons, so pretty.

[@GayLeeKilpatrick]

I love delphiniums! I have 3 of them in pots. Dark purple, lavender and medium blue

[@midgetwes]

Go Dan. You can do it..yeah!!!

[@pamelasmith6459]

It'll be time to wear your harvesting apron soon 😊

[@neliaschmidt2638]

My current favorite flower is batchelor buttons

[@jeanetteburt3335]

Hi Chelsea, love your gardens and high tunnel. Everything is looking good. Fingers crossed that Dan gets his machinery out. Jeanette, New Zealand.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you

[@rebeccagraf2962]

You guys are so good at this. I love doing even what I do, but it's all still very experimental and I am easily discouraged. I suppose you just keep at it right? Thanks for sharing your wisdom of longevity with me!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes, exactly! Just keep at it and you’ll get there, I promise!

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

I love growing a multi-branching sunflower mix to draw in the Goldfinch. I love the ease of growing zinnias and the butterflies & hummingbirds they bring.

[@lindacooper4542]

Hello my neighbors to the North. Enjoyed your garden tour and am sorry that your wonderful hard working husband has the dozers stuck on the mountain. We have had tractors stuck like that back in the day, we had three big ones stuck in the same spot. two of them were our wonderful neighbors that came to help when ours got stuck.

[@jenniferm6948]

Daisies are always so fun to see. I bought a very small plant with 1 tiny flower 14 years ago and now it’s a large area in my garden. Totally love it.

[@jeanmahan4767]

I love to spend my evening watching and “ trying “ to learn some of what you know. Curious to know if you cursed with Chick Weed ? Here in Alaska, Kenai Peninsula, we are inundated with the stuff.

[@naomihartman6623]

Love to see your infectious enthusiasm in the garden your happy place

[@shirleybenson4368]

Looks great!

[@linamora9169]

Yeah I love their channel too!

[@debbielicis6257]

OmG, I am so happy you watch My Self Reliance. I love watching Shawn garden. Do you watch ‘Simple Living Alaska’? I believe you might be in the same growing zone as them. My 3 favourite channels. Amazing that I live in Sydney and none of it applies….lol

[@belieftransformation]

Great visit with you as you teach & bring us along on your lovely journey! I appreciate your patience & explanations. Thanks for sharing 🤗🇨🇦

[@SJC49]

I find hand watering so relaxing but have a very small garden and lawns so makes a huge difference! 😍🇨🇦

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Wonderful that you have a nice number of apple trees that are bearing well now! 🍏🍎 💚

[@karunald]

There are 'Mini Cosmos'? Wow, where have I been? Everything flops on me so maybe that would semi-work.

[@carissalizotte8977]

I also water if needed in the evening. It’s mostly just when I have time but it’s also a very therapeutic chore for evenings.. 🥰💚 I grow tons of zinnia, marigolds, sunflowers, borage and I am now venturing into more flowers this year!

[@sgrvtl7183]

I like watching your garden grow. I like big machines ( ha ha ! 74 y/o Grama from so. California) and so sorry Dan did not have success in this video. Look forward to the next video 😊

[@scotserve]

What a shame poor DAN but he'll fix it, he always does in the end. Your garden is looking amazing and your high tunnel is so different looking to last year. Well I hope the rain goes off quickly and you can get back and enjoy your garden. Take care of yourselves, Jean

[@scotserve]

Thanks for helping me understand comfrey. Now I haven't a clue when people talk about bolted does it mean that is good or bad because some people don't seem happy? By the looks on their faces and you explain stuff that I can understand thanks.

[@Nancy-1249B]

I wish youd show how you plant and thin carrots.

[@amandalyman7510]

Let Dan know he’s not the only one to sink a machine lol last year my dad sunk a front end loader in our front yard while trying to remove stumps, we had to dig the door out so he could get out of it, then the guy who came to pull him out also sunk! It took a wrecker to get them both out and we had a hole the size of a swimming pool just outside our front door 😂

[@laurasimon6573]

Your energy is so encouraging and your knowledge is amazing thank you .

[@CarolCummings-m2y]

When we had our cat stuck in mud like that we chained a small log (16” in diameter) across both tracks & then backed it out. You might have to do it two or three times to get to firmer ground. Just resist the temptation to turn while backing up. Worked for us. Your conditions & results may be different. Good luck.

[@dhansonranch]

Things are coming nicely. We have had days of rain amounting to many inches and flooding is starting to happen. As a result my garden isn't in yet, but hopefully this week. It will be what it will be! If feel for Dan - I buried my tractor the other day trying to get feed out - got it out but now I carry hay by pitch fork...at least till it dries up and I can get something else done. Glad you are digging out the low spot as it will have a clay bottom to it and so will hold water nicely for you. Good video!

[@paulsims6888]

Do you hand pollinate the high tunnel or is it just open pollinated? You could cover this is another garden tour. I can tell Dan never gives up. My father inlaw told me that when you get a cat stuck, you chain a log to both tracks and suck it under the machine, by driving in the direction you want to go. This maybe cheaper than excavators. Just some more content for the channel. Keep up the hard work. I love it. I can tell you love what you do, and that is what make it a joy to watch.

[@laurasimon6573]

Flowers are sunflowers chocolate colored and marigolds that’s my daughter’s favorite . I outline my main garden with the sunflowers. The birds love them as well . Birds love my blueberries as well I cover the bushes with netting as well the birds will eat every berry if I don’t.

[@benitastevens612]

This is a beautiful place!

[@poodledaddles1091]

I’m so happy for 2 good water sources on your land!

[@happyhobbit8450]

If you pick fruit the trees feel they're needed ... if you don't pick the fruit the tree feels it's not needed

[@gholzem]

I really hope you did not just jinx the fire season by saying how good it has been. I live in Oregon and our fire season is not till September or October usually. Hopefully we will also have a good year. Loving your summer videos. I am disabled and having a bad health year. Your videos get me through the bad days. Thank You so much.

[@heatherjung8941]

My favourite flower is whatever is blooming at that time. My garden is mostly perennials and shrubs. Currently my bloom chocolate geranium is beautiful with purple flowers and the delphinium are about to burst. I have flowers from April to late September or October depending on on frost. My favourite annual are begonias.

[@TLadret]

I don’t know how but the chive flower vinegar ends up being a more vibrant fusia (sp?) than the actual flowers themselves. It’s absolutely stunning and delicious! Tastes like chives. Yum! Always leave some flowers for the Beas, they love them too! 😄👍

[@LittleMountainRanch]

It really does, doesn’t it?!

[@pmmurf101]

In our previous home we grew: Peonies, hostas, bleeding hearts, and others. My absolute favourite was the bleeding hearts; they would be the first to bloom for us - in the Ottawa Valley area. Second to that: my absolute love was lily of the valley! I used to clip as many as I could and place them in the house. Loved the fragrance! Your food garden is so beautiful!

[@SJC49]

Love my Lilly of the Valley. Was my Mom’s favourite and her birth month flower! 😍🇨🇦

[@elizabethann158]

We have never used a shade cloth on our high tunnel in central Wisconsin. We keep the sides up & ends open all summer. I have had over 1500 pounds of tomatoes come out of my tunnel & it gets pretty hot here. We actually had it get to 120 degrees in it our first year on May 2nd ( we were gone for a wedding & it was suppose to be cool & cloudy that day). We have never had flowers become sterile from the heat.

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

You are so cute with your overalls and flowers on your pocket and curly hair. I imagine that to be you all the time as a child too lol

[@user-uh7og2vt3p]

Your garden looks great. Enjoying your videos ❤ Have a wonderful day everyone 😊

[@sbueck9011]

Hi Chelsea, love your videos. My favourite flower is sweet peas because they remind me of my mom who passed away 3 years ago.

[@sandyperreault9326]

I planted my favorite tall zinnias, marigolds, nasturtiums, dahlias. Snapdragons. Daisies.

[@leslieforetich7393]

Those white petunias are gorgeous!!

[@camicri4263]

Wonderful garden and property! Blessings!

[@teriharman566]

Your garden is looking fantastic. I can't say I have a favorite flower I love them all! I just pickled some garlic scapes. I love the sauted too. Also don't you save comfrey for poultice when you are hurting. I will have to plant some around my fruit trees. I just can't thin my apples I usually don't get that many. Love watching you thank you for sharing

[@DongFarm7749]

Hello. thank you for sharing. Wishing you a happy and happy new day ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for showing us your beautiful piece of paradise! Where did you order your greenstock from? I was going to order a pair directly from greenstock until it was $300 shipping. 😢

[@sandymyers1182]

My cilantro and basil are dead! Way too hot for them. Parsley over wintered in the house and it’s still growing outdoors. I rarely use parsley but I have a ton. The other two I use all the time. I may buy some starts of both and try in the house. About 100 degrees is what the forecast is for a few more days

[@tammytackitt8713]

I love your channel your garden is so beautiful I want to tell you about your Apple tree my grandfather he used to make crutches for his apple tree he would put them under each of the branches especially the ones who had too many apples it would hold the limbs up

[@apriltruran1592]

Do you have a favorite place to order your seeds from? And do you save any of your own?

[@marvona3531]

Hope all is getting well👍👍👍

[@MarjBuckley-ec1hk]

Zinnias, bachelor button, marigolds and sunflowers, camomile and calendula, I have tried straw flowers because your was so pretty but I had no success with them

[@carrutc2]

Super tip about the comfrey am definitely going to try that

[@pamyoder6163]

I enjoy watching Shawn also

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

Hi Chelsea so nice to see you. Before I forget... you mentioned about pics for the bunkie. Why don't you just take some photos of your beautiful flowers/cows/calves/etc and use them. Especially a close up of your columbine. Your garden looks amazing. Yes mine here in the lower mainland has really perked up. I was blaming the nursery at first because they were not doing anything. My bad!! Looking at your stuck equipment took me to a channel I watch here on youtube called HeavyD. This incredible group of men who go around helping others. Well have a wonderful day. Cheers

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I watch diesel brothers too!

[@charlakelley5606]

I love amaryllis, snap dragons, hydrangeas sunflowers and all kinds of wild flowers

Looking at a map of Canada earlier today, I noticed there were quite a few areas that were under tornado weather. And while I don’t know where you are in Canada, just wanted to make sure as of today ( Monday) you all are ok.

[@WaterisJoy]

What kind of flower did you put in the vinegar? Kiddos are sleeping and I have replayed that section, but could just not hear it clearly.
