Watermelon, pumpkin, zucchini , cucumber can be planted in the ground in large areas as they will run for meters and take up a to. Of space. You’ll get maybe 10-20 watermelons from one plant. The beds won’t accomodate them xx

[@4evaMrsBrentWeston1]

Totally... I just went 'OH NO' when I saw he was planting watermelon's in those planters... they would have been better planted on the outside with them going down towards the slope way... hard to mow the grass though however so got to watch out for snakes then...

[@Artemida347]

I can just imagine all the snakes that'll take residency beneath all those big leaves😅

[@yorkie75]

Yep, the watermelon plants are going to take over those beds and much of the ground inside the fenced in space

[@georgeattig8088]

Please move the watermelon plants and any others (e.g., cucumbers) that need a lot of space to a larger outside area. They will ruin your garden area by running all over the place. Also move the asparagus to an outside area. It takes up a lot of space and will self seed. You also shouldn’t harvest it for 1 year. Move the gooseberries as well. The mature plants can get huge. Maybe set an area in your yard/lawn dedicated to berry bushes. Consult your nursery or the internet about what plants are suitable for raised beds in the size you have. It will be easier to transplant them now than later.

[@deestanley9836]

Garden area looks great! But I have to agree with others, the watermelon will push every other plant out of the planter. They need to be on the ground, so they have room to spread out!😊❤

[@norliahnasir2252]

@@georgeattig8088 the same can also be said of sweet potato too I guess. There should be a raised bed dedicated to just sweet potato only. But you can plant more than one slip in one bed.

[@Kiki-Kauai]

Isn’t Occy and Leo riding in the truck together the cutest thing ever?! That property is magical. When I think back to what you talked about wanting to create when you purchased that property, it’s exactly as you described! Maybe even better! Hard to believe it’s only been a year you’ve done so much! Kendall and Glenn are so awesome and it’s great seeing the three of you work towards a common goal. Great video!

Beaut idea...

[@JulieMcInnes69]

Setting them up right from the start, although a huge amount of work, certainly means less work in the future! You’re excited about this now, but once you eat this produce you will be blown away just how bad supermarket produce is!

[@MaxandOccy]

I really hope this is the case Julie and think it will be! Plus now I actually look forward to being in that magical space 🙌🏼 Cannot wait to start eating the rewards! 💛

[@sweigh72]

I’m sure it will taste even better Julie cause of the hard work Max and the team put in … so satisfying ❤

[@РондаЛиПомогаева]

Your channel is always so positive and uplifts the soul. You all are building such a beautiful community its heart warming to watch.

[@mamanonagan]

I love watching as you, Kendall and Glenn build community together. Community is what we all need right now and your generous heart clearly attracts more generous hearted people to you. This garden has been a process but how beautiful it looks! Can’t wait to see it grow in abundance. Great episode, Max! You and Occy are an uplifting channel for this American. You help me remember that there is always hope. 👏🏼😊

Was craving a Max & Occ vid! Living vicariously through you, so happy to have found your channel this year, you are full of kindness and love! Never stop!

Dog Fashion Runway was the cutest. But lifting them up so they could see what you were doing was just so demonstrative of the big lives these dogs lead. Enjoy the car rides kids!

That night view of the garden was so magical.

Incredible 🙌🏼💛

[@annierouleau8688]

It was a lot of hard work to set the garden up but the final shots of it in the night is magical. You three did an amazing job. Wait until you start eating your veggies you will be blown away.

[@deniseclark1349]

Glad to see Kendall and Gylenn really settling in. Is a wonderful thing to ha e such a beautiful community. You and Occy and very blessed

[@caspergrimaldi]

oh man, the garden patches look great but even more so at night. The lighting is amazing. One suggestion: Would you be able to put a camera on a high stick or on a nearby tree or something and film the garden growing 24/7? Then in a few weeks, you can do the ultimate timelapse. It's as satisfaying as the before/after shots :) Also, you've been living there for over a year? That means I've been following you for well over a year. I remember when you did your video of stopping the van life to buy land, I told myself "oh no, this is going to take ages (the search, the buying and waiting to be able to move in etc), I'm going to miss his videos." Yet it feels like it was yesterday and looks at you, over a year in this place already. Time flies!! You definitelly need a big table for your wonderful deck and leave the small one in the garden patches, it's perfect there.

[@robinmcewen304]

What a beautiful job you’ve all accomplished 😊 I can’t wait to see the harvest of your labors.

[@MaxandOccy]

Haha yes!!! Thanks Stephanie 💛

[@loriflori]

Your garden is BEAUTIFUL! It will be such fun to watch things grow. And it's pretty ingenious to have that circular fence around it for things to climb up. Beans and peas would work well there, too.

[@janeboudreaux3015]

I'm so PROUD of you! It's BEAUTIFUL at day and at night. Your Produce will be so rewarding. My father always had a garden. When I got married my husband continued the tradition. My husband of 37 years died two years ago and I was in a slumped and did not tend to the garden. But, through the weeds his garlic continued to grow two summers in a row. ❤ This year I will grow a fall garden in the beautiful raised beds he made. We have enjoyed our garden in the past. Even had fun with the nieces and nephews helping pick veggies

[@randomgirl2650]

You need a large umbrella to go over your table in the garden… you can have a coffee in the shade!! Love your work!

[@yorkie75]

When those watermelons start growing there’ll be no room for a table and chairs 😂

The garden is a piece of art, and will hopefully produce a lot of food for you. Your commune companions are the best helpers and the boys are great supervisors. Nicely done!

[@keepingupwiththejoneses06]

Just do a garden bed on the ground for your watermelon, pumpkins, etc they will go nuts

Beautiful garden area! It’s going to make Eamon and Bec jealous, especially since their round green house went bust (but it does make a beautiful outside bedroom).

[@irenewright8813]

Love this! Plant basil around your tomatoes to deter bugs. Companion planting works!

[@cazinaus4917]

What a huge effort! I remember being young & strong lol.The wallabies will make short work of anything outside the fence line though. Just get some chicken wire and make a temporary mini fence around them until well established. Good luck to you all....looking fwd to watching the 'tiny' house build 👍

[@EvelynPic]

Great garden. I just planted 130 cloves of garlic. Last fall, I planted 90 and didn’t have enough for replanting, ourselves, friends and family. Love that it gets planted the fall for May/June harvesting. So much better than store bought! ❤️from Michigan

[@allysonberry8708]

Just a reminder, newly planted garden plants will need overhead watering until roots get established (probably at least 2 weeks). Not just a spritz, but deep watering encouraging their roots to seek the water beneath. Expect some losses during your first few years as you experiment with what grows best in your conditions. Always consult the local garden center with questions. They are full of garden knowledge for your area. Good luck and can’t wait to see what dinners you make with this bounty!

[@KristineS73]

Thanks for all the hardwork!! I appreciate you so much 😊 Belly rubs for Occy❤

[@britasmith8008]

I would plant the Gooseberry by the fence not in the bed. Also so some research on the Asparagus because I think you need a big bed which you bury it in and build up the bed as it grows and when established it will come up year on year. You could also grow a few carrots . Beans climbing over fence.

[@mikeriester8798]

The garden is looking great! I’m sure you’ll all enjoy the fruits of your labour.

As your tiny house community grows, it would be cool to have each sign a stone in your garden.

[@lynnechilton5794]

Great planting, I hope that hot compost doesn’t burn the plants roots? Dig in an egg with the tomatoes 🍅 for calcium midway thru season smash egg and it will fertilise and add more growth yep marigolds for blossom end rot Save your toilet rolls as you can use them as seed growing they will disintegrate when planted in soil.Plant basil with the tomatoes as it repels pests. ,so marigolds, egg, basil for tomatoes 🍅 and only water from bottom don’t get leaves wet but ur using wicking beds .

[@yorkie75]

Don’t need to waste whole eggs; eat the eggs, crush the shells and use the shell for the tomatoes

[@tmp1269]

Great job on the garden. A heads up for you on the asparagus - you won't get a harvest for three years. You don't pick at all the first year, and then very sparingly or not at all the second year. Then in the 3rd year, your crowns will be established and this perennial vegetable with thrive for 20 - 30 years. Asparagus can be a bed all by itself. It doesn't like companion plants and requires regular watering at first. It becomes drought tolerant as it's established. I'm not sure how that will fair in your rainforest. Oh. and asparagus ferns grow about 3-5ft a year. You might want a step ladder in your garden. ❤🌱

Enjoying your videos. We just lost our collie. Occy reminds me of her. She too had a thick coat and the heat bothered her, but we have a true winter in Wisconsin and she was in her element during it.
