[@melindawargowsky8176]

About a week ago I told my husband I was thinking about buying a reel mower for one of my fenced areas and a pathway. We live on an old farm (grandparent’s originally), and I never know what might be in all the buildings. He said, “I think there’s one in the building with the tool quad. Bingo! Free reel mower😊

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Love that!

We own 13 Greenstalks now and have grown so much produce vertically, which saves my back. I have severe back issues and can no longer get down into the dirt to garden. I also have raised beds, but love the Greenstalks!

Love the pond. My aunt and uncle had the same onthier property, they made three ponds at different levels, each with overflow onto the next pond and the bottom pond had only one overflow pipe into an irrigation ditch worked great for them, they also had fish in thier ponds...so beaitiful!

Good to see you Chelsea. Why did the tomato blush? Because it saw the salad dressing! lol lol Greenstalks are wonderful. The push mower is great and yes a work out indeed. Helps to keep that blade really sharp. The soil you were digging is is incredible along with your pond. Crazy how that has filled up and yes so clear as well. Excited about the draw tonight. Wish everyone luck! So nice of you do that Chelsea. Cheers

[@jeneanegarwood7528]

I love your newsletters! I had to laugh when I saw your reel mower in the box. My husband just took ours out of the shed for the first time yesterday (had it for a few years) and he wanted to cut some taller weeds. He had so much fun he ended up mowing my front and back yard. He was amazed how well it mowed and he felt good with all the exercise it gave him. I love where you put your new Greenstock Planter. It will be so beautiful when in full bloom as well as all the other flowers!! Have a great day!

Garden and Greenstalks look amazing. So sorry about your back! Praying for quick healing. You work harder than most of us with good backs! Val C

[@vickiwood9192]

I've had experience with a non-motorized push mower. It worked great as long as I didn't let the grass get too tall. Reasonably safe machine for older children to use. Good luck with yours.

[@shazade258]

Literally found myself saying OUT LOUD, “do it! Do it!” As you were deliberating putting the drapey vines on the top tier 😂 they’ll look so beautiful, and if it shades everything else out you’ll know for next time!

[@debbielicis6257]

I hope your back feels better soon Chelsea, there’s nothing more debilitating than back pain. The plant stocks look awesome, I will have to check to see if they are available in Australia. And I can’t wait to see you all skating on the pond in Winter!

[@chrisanndunn8814]

I’m trying to figure out a way to rearrange my sewing room so that I can have some potted flowers in a bright window. Would definitely brighten up a special place for me. 😊

[@nruegner]

Your kids may want to give the push mower a try. It might be fun for them...at least the newness of it. I am excited for your pond. Sounds like it will be big. You could stock it. If it is deep enough the fish should be able to live through the winter. I may have to buy one of those towers. They are gorgeous!

[@pathardin7580]

The sweet potato vines will grow like crazy. You can prune them and stick the cuttings in a pot and grow more. They’re great in planters with petunias or whatever.

[@emilywhite2884]

This year is my first attempt at sweet potatoes. Thank you for that info! So good to know!

[@pennysantana7809]

The greenstalks are fun, I finally got one too. 😅 but then my daughter loved it, so I gifted it to her. 🤷‍♀️ what love does 😂. So now I have to get another one. Also, I loved my little push mower. It is a great little workout for small chores. I hope your back get better soon, I have a bad back and it's not fun. God bless 🙏 ❤

[@shervin6711]

Greenstalks, you might want to get thier supports, they contain a tall bushy plant ( like peppers) but also supports climbers like your squash/cukes. I found they grew great without them, but things with hollow/ delicate stems broke much easier, without the soft rounded edge of the support. You can also use them to cover your greenstalks too, for bugs/ shade/ extend seasons. They can also be adjusted for one pocket of many. Very worth the $. I did try sticks, but thats didn't work as well.

[@patmitchell-wn5wi]

When my husband was a very small child, he called this push mower a “henna-wee-we”. No idea how he came up with that name, but it stuck through the family.

[@scotserve]

Glad to hear about pond so you did hit gold. So sorry to hear about your back I find a heat pad helps my back when my pain medication is not helping at all. And it is strong stuff for arthritis. But the heat pad works wonders and let's me sleep. If it doesn't ease of might be worth a try. I never knew you could get lemon cucumbers.?

[@dhansonranch]

Things are looking good. Just something to consider - a rope to secure the green stalk so it doesn't blow over in strong winds coming off the flats might be an idea. I am amazed at how quickly that pond filled in. That soil looks rich but with it's higher clay content (why it holds water) it may be somewhat anaerobic - will be interesting to see how the plants do in it. I know when I dug my dug out in an old slough bottom, I had to leave the soil drain for a year as it was impossible to deal with otherwise - but once the soil was spread it did grow well and retained water although it would "punch out" when wet. I hit an underground stream with my dig. Interested to see how you guys develop that area. Good video.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I wondered the same thing, but there’s also a fair bit of sand in it, too so it’s draining and drying out quickly.

[@dhansonranch]

@@LittleMountainRanch Interesting.

[@1944chevytruck]

Great job on garden and pond!

[@canadiangirl5159]

Chiropractor and a deep massage. Look after yourself and be careful. Gardening is a sport. A intense physical sport. So now I work out before the gardening season begins. Like spring training. A few years ago, the end of Covid lockdowns, it was spring and I was out planting in my big window box, and had just stepped down off the chair to pick up the bag of potting soil, and then there was a snap. And that was that. I had just twisted wrong. I was in so much pain in my knee, I had to call my son to help me into the house, and I was on crutches for weeks. The Doctor sent me to a sports clinic in the city for weekly therapy sessions. But of course, a true die hard gardener never lets anything stop them. So crutches, pain pills and all, I crawled along in the dirt, and got my potatoes planted, all my pots planted, and everything else I had sitting there begging me to plant them. I don't know, maybe I'm nuts or it's a Canadian thing. Nothing stops me from doing what I want to do.

Good Morning! I absolutely love your vlogs and look forward to each one. I hate to be a worrier but are you prepared for this new flow of water? You said it ran over the pond you dug but where is it going to go? What path will it take? Will it flow to where it floods part of your property? How about your neighbors, have they prepared their property to receive it? It seems like you have extensive acreage but water always wins, as does gravity. It’s going to end up somewhere and I would hate to see you end up with a problem on your hands.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We have a. ditch system that empties into a creek that then flows to a major river and all this water is already going there.♥️
