Main Crop Garden Set Up Begins! / Nicknames - Just For Fun

[@uppanadam]

Gotta love it how ppl think gardens happen overnight!! Doesn't work like that!! It takes years!! Time and finances and manpower are the key ingredients although sometimes not always available too help build up gardens!!

[@delindawilliams3935]

I could sit and watch this for a long period of time. I love gardening. I'm truly impressed by your sons' garden skills.💖💖

[@laurieg6416]

In this heat, working outside, no a/c in the house: I would love to see a video on tips on how you cool off, stay hydrated , prevent heat exhaustion. This would help a lot of people, including me!

[@cherylkimbley3992]

Hard working young men. They did such a wonderful job.

Wow! Those boys are doing such a great job on the raised beds! You are such a beautiful family. Watching your videos is so heartwarming! ❤️

Another construction vid! I miss working with you 2. ZZ, excellent idea for bed tie-in. I told you before that you are an engineer. Carrie, i know what you mean bout the rain being a blessing re not having to water. So what are you doing with all that free time you have? 🤣Every day that goes by brings us one day closer to THE DAY. The knee is healing. So, keep the prayers coming. Kip, holler. Much love to all. Yeshua Rules!

[@1000sofroots]

Yes He does! Glad to here the knee is healing. Praise Yah! Can't wait for THE DAY of Yeshua's return!! Love and blessings from Smyth clan. 🙂❤

[@unschoolinghomesteader7395]

I guessed that you called Naomi Bittle because when she was the youngest, she was a baby little. I was close!

[@emilyneal7888]

You will enjoy those beds and make lots of food.

[@gardenofglory9593]

Great job guys it's looking beautiful

[@beckyisabell4324]

You will enjoy that grow space.

[@NancyMorse]

You are teaching your children such a strong work ethic. Good for you! Beautiful family.

[@jessicahoward118]

Such delightful children😊

[@marywill4339]

I just love your family and how you conduct your life. The Lord has blessed you abundantly and I have such peace when I watch your videos.Can u adopt me?❤😂

[@CreepingThyme]

I had a dump truck bring me a load of top soil. It was cheaper for me than buying bagged although I would recommend mixing it with something. I didn’t have 2 strong young men to help me fill mine. Haha.

[@HumbleHillsHomestead]

Beautiful garden! Just an FYI...If working with perlite again in the future I recommend wearing masks or taking some sort of precautions to avoid it getting into the lungs. It can irritate and harm the lungs. The garden is looking great. I really like the layering idea! Thanks for sharing with us! Bless you and yours! 💜

[@cherylodonnell6050]

Beautiful new garden beds! Dont blame you for being excited Carrie.

[@caroljane75]

Looks very nice. I love my raised beds. Easy to weed and takes less water! Built a few new ones this year, put rotten wood on the bottom too. Now I have twice the potatoe and twice the corn space. Harvesting potatoes from raised beds is so much easier! Get buckets and fill while checking for potatoes. As you put the dirt back, layer with nutrients and mix it all together for the next year. Enjoy them!

[@unschoolinghomesteader7395]

Sorry for a third comment, 😅 but I just have to say that you guys are so inspiring. I feel like we get hardly anything done on our 1.5 year old homestead, but then I realize how much y’all have done one step at a time in ten years and keeps me going and looking forward. One day at a time!

[@katrinaDS]

I spent so much time at the creek as a kid. It’s some of my favorite memories. I’m so glad you went with the family too 💞

[@ssamuel408]

Thank you

[@gailsgardenherbsmore1605]

Your swimming hole looks incredibly like a place I use to fish at when I lived in Kentucky. Beautiful!

[@elizabethhendriks9030]

How beautiful..your family, your property, your new garden beds!

[@theresawhightsel7163]

Those boys are adorable.

[@jackie6582]

Love this video it is so comforting to watch Thank You🙏

[@laurasebourn1213]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@jewelssylva3738]

Yay‼️ Getting a good start on the main garden. May God bless all of you produce this year! Step by step we see the progress. Homesteading is hard & keeping the motivation up day to day is key. Starting the day with the Lord is key. ✝️

[@deborahkelley4719]

Such a nice swimming hole, I'm sure the children slept well. I love the way you folks garden. Your very fortunate that your children are willing to help around the homestead 🎉 life every day, 🙏 from VA

[@whitestone4401]

Great job!

[@Bellaloveslife_]

Thank you so much for the step by step layering of the new beds. I now feel confident enough to start mine :)) I'm so so grateful! I love you all ! Such a precious family !

[@hoosierladyus48]

Looks like all of you had a wonderful time at the swimming hole. I bet everyone was hungry and tired after that, I know whenever I went swimming when I was young, I always was so ravenous afterwards. Your kids are such hard workers, very well behaved and kind. I think a lot of city kids could learn a lot from your children. It has been so miserably hot here in Indianapolis. I know it has to be hot there in Missouri and especially not having AC. Love the kids nicknames!

[@suzanneleblanc1077]

You look really nice Carrie!

[@earthsgardenapothecary7185]

What beautiful garden beds!!! They look very strudy!!!!

[@connielipp8648]

So excited for you. What a lovely garden extension that you've gotten built! Great idea to grow sweet potatoes along the back end for the ducks to eat the overhang. I'm looking forward to seeing that come to fruition next year : )

[@dianecharles881]

My husband and I used pine boards as well. After 6 years they are still doing great! Will you have time before frost in your area to grow kale ? The young men do a great job !! It’s been terribly hot here in my area the entire month of July. Chores are limited to morning and late afternoon.

[@1000sofroots]

I'm so glad to hear that your pine garden beds are doing great! I have some kale starts growing at a friends house (they have air conditioning), so I'm hoping they do well and I can plant them as soon as it starts to cool down. Hope you get a little reprieve from the heat soon. Blessings.🙂

[@brandyweidner602]

Today is supposed to be the last of the heat in my area south east SD , it's been 103, and it feels like 106 with humidity. Happy Homesteading God bless Your doing great

[@tricial7468]

It came out so beautiful that I can't wait to see what you will grow

[@mistyyoung122]

Thanks so much for adding the flower names at the start!!! Another wonderful video visiting your homestead 🌹 that creek and water hole were beautiful. Blessings to you all 🇦🇺

[@deanfaw]

I believe in you when you say about the work you're doing hopefully everyone can see it someday fully growing 😊🎉

[@kathys9786]

Be careful with that Kellogg's brand soil folks! The first year we bought it, it worked great. This year almost NOTHING grew. So I tested it. Very high PH: 12+. High potassium and phosphorus. Zero nitrogen. And I have romaine lettuce growing all over where I didn't plant it so I'm guessing that they pulled this year's dirt from lettuce farms. I've seen other KZbinrs with the same issues with this soil.

[@1000sofroots]

Thanks for sharing this. Maybe we will finally be able to get a good beet harvest.🙂 Our soul seems to be low in phosphorus. Hopefully all the composted manure we added will help bring up the nitrogen.👍

[@getrudareimerdyck1870]

Great job boys💪

[@kennedystarr8094]

❤❤❤

[@allthingsbethie]

Have you considered using the dirt from your forest area to fill your beds?

[@1000sofroots]

We don't have forest dirt, we have forest rocks and thick brambles. But forest dirt would be amazing.🙂

[@allthingsbethie]

@@1000sofroots Well shoot!

[@unschoolinghomesteader7395]

I love seeing this! We will be going this next year. I have a question. I noticed you didn’t put cardboard under the beds themselves. Is that intentional? Will the grass be suffocated enough with just the stuff you put in the beds?

[@1000sofroots]

Yes, that's the hope. We do put paper down in beds that are shallower than a foot.🙂

[@lillysave]

Hi, what was that green powder you added to the beds at the end. Thanks

[@1000sofroots]

Kelp granules.

[@lillysave]

@@1000sofroots thank you

[@roberthart897]

What is the purpose of the kelp and where can you buy it? Great job boys! It looks great!😊

[@1000sofroots]

Kelp is a good all around mineral supplement that we feed to our animals at times and to our soil.🙂 You can usually get it in bulk at animal feed stores. Blessings.

[@roberthart897]

@@1000sofroots great! Thank you! Blessings to your family in Yeshua's name!
