3 Things I've Learned This Year - Nov Farm Update

[@LondonWorms]

Oh my word that was a roller coaster of a ride watching that and then I felt the floor fall away from under me when you said you had to move!!! After all that!!!!! Ryan I have nothing but awe and admiration for you. I think you did brilliant this year and the whole experience is going to make you stronger and better for next year. It's not like you have it easy where you are anyhow but is going to make you go from strength to strength. I'm rooting for ya buddy. We all are. Thanks for sharing and sending you all the very best mate.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you kindly Mr Worms, it means a lot to know that folks are pulling for me! No solution yet, but I shall keep looking. Hope your health is doing better my friend:))

[@VeggieBackGarden]

Yeh, that was pretty much the effect for me - I've not had a chance to reply over the last couple of days since watching, however it's such a bummer watching it the other day. I'm re-watching now - so will respond properly now.

[@BenniLkitchengarden]

So sad to hear that you can't keep growing on the field, you put so much work into it. But as you said; YOU CAN grow wonderful vegetables and I really hope YOU WILL start over. You have really learned a lot, but you have really worked so hard. Hope you find a new place for your market garden. Fingers crossed. I love your camera work at the beginning of the video. How did you manage to film from the inside when you lit the fire? Thanks for this upload, Ryan. All the best.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey Benni, been a bit down, but perhaps this will work out for the best. There sure have been positives and the experience will give confidence to having another go at this. Lol, glad you liked it my friend, editing puts a smile on my face:))🇧🇻💛

[@briansgardenandpolytunnel8172]

totally right, ryan. life CAN be a bummer, but we have to pick ourselves up, brush ourselves down and start all over again. i hope you get the suitable land you need..........................brian

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you Brian, I appreciate your attitude my friend:)

[@blueponyfarm1962]

Oh Ryan, I'm so sorry you have to move your garden. Simply gutting. In my own life I've had to pick up and move many times, but I've gardened at every location, even rentals that I knew I'd be leaving in a year's time. It's just what you do, even though everyone tells you it's bonkers to improve a property you don't own. It's still heartbreaking for you, even if you have the will to begin all over. Sending you bushels of hugs and support. That said, you've had so many successes this season! It's all down to your incredible capacity to focus and get things done. (You're a machine! ) But I think it's just as important that you're so open to what the growing season has to teach you, about marketing your produce, timing your crops, etc. You bring no unhelpful ego to the venture, just diligence and and that beautiful passion for growing. Good on you my friend! You will make it work wherever you find yourself. 🌱🐝💕

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Took the wind from my sales pal. Thank you for the hug bushel, I'll send the bushel back when I need more! You are far too kind, I just really want to do this. Have a super week please:))

[@VeggieBackGarden]

Yep, I can relate to that BluePonyFarm - lovely words.

[@ltlbnsgarden]

This video has me emotionally confused. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. I am happy that you have gained so much knowledge in such little time. I want to cry for you losing access to the land you have dedicated so much time and attention to. I am also excited for the new chapter in your journey. If I had land , and near you, I would totally help you. Your so dedicated, so focused, you can and you WILL rise above these challenges my friend. Sending you lots of hugs 🤗

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lil'B you are always so kind...thank you. I'll take those hugs pal, this has been difficult:)

[@VeggieBackGarden]

Such a lovely comment - we sometimes get bombasted that the world is full of @rseholes, but it really isn't. Thanks, I loved reading this - decent people need to be heard some time.

[@ltlbnsgarden]

Veggie Back Garden thank you so much for your kindness 😊

[@PlumBob]

If there was any doubt about wether you could do it, it is gone. You did it my friend. The positivity is infectious, you are an inspiration. Not the best news to be relocating from the land you have put such an effort into. On wards and upwards, you will find a new "Battleground" with the thistles and create an Oasis for the next harvest. I always enjoy my visits with you Ryan thanks for bringing us along.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

True Bob, I now know I can do this! Battleground is such a good way of putting it:)) Thanks Boob, I appreciate your visits:)

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

You have taken a really tough space and built a garden business out of it. You’ve learned great things. It is worth knowing through all the difficulties that you want this. Sorry to hear the bad news. That explains where you’ve been. I’m not sure I’d pull myself out of that, but you have a take the bull by the horns way to you so you will get through this... no matter how hard I sucks. Also, that fire starting shot at the opening of this video is awesome. You’ve taught me a lot through your videos. I wish you luck in finding a new piece of land ASAP for cheap.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Been tough PPG, not been feeling worth a sh#t. Lol, glad you enjoyed that shot! Thanks, I will come up with a plan and keep y'all posted:)

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

Great to see an update from you, you've been missed. Firstly, it sucks that you have to move but as you pointed out at least you've had a taste of what it's like... And that you've come out the other end knowing that you can do it and you want to do it. I've enjoyed watching your efforts on the field over the last 2 seasons and I hope you manage to find a field you can call yours. Onwards and upwards my friend. Cheers Adam 👍

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Sorry pal, been in a mood, and no body needs that on vid!! Shame it went as well as it did because now I really want this to work. Would have been easier to say it was a cool experience and just quit. Thank you for your support man, means a lot. Have a great weekend:))

[@giantdormouse]

This really pulled on our heart-strings, Ryan. However, your knowledge is priceless and you want to stick to being your own boss. This is do-able with backing, and, aside from the community plot, have you considered asking for crowd funding? The fact that you communicate with folks all over the world adds great value to your brand and people can see the fruits of your labour. Only saying because the simplest route is better that being in hock to someone else whether it is financially or owing people favours etc. Do you think folks might let you rent somewhere which is unworked on a longer term basis if you are adding value and potential to their land? Heck, my experience of country folk is that people do care about the individual if they can see an outcome which is suitable and advantageous to them! Obviously, things go a bit deeper than you are letting on! So, I can only wish you all the best with your plans. You have learnt a lot and thanks for sharing this with us. Take care. All the best, Mike and Jaws.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Mine too, duderino. I have had a few ask if I would consider something like that, and I will think on it. I will be exploring the local options and will keep YT posted. Land for hay is reasonable, but I need water and preferably power. When I dust off, I'll get looking and see what my options are. Very kind of you and Jaws to care, thank you, it means a lot:)

[@DIYSolarandWind]

You are awesome. Good talk. When I get out of the city I will want to follow your lead.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Wow, thanks! I don't feel awesome right now, lol:)

[@threethousandpercent7919]

You are very handy with a hatchet : ) Very handy with most tools.. you're sure to rebuild a fine farm. Great to hear your 'three things'.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Elly:)

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

You changed your picture. Nice tomato

[@mygardenanddinosaurs]

Hi Ryan. Good to see you again. You really have achieved lots and should be very proud. Such a shame you have to move. I have no doubt it will work out for you since you definitely seem like a go getter. Take care. Mags. 🌻

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey Mags, nice to be back. Thank you, I appreciate that. I will figure things out, lol, it's what I want:))

[@KellysKitchenGarden]

Oh I’m gutted that next year will be your last on that piece of land, my heart sank for you. HOWEVER, that piece of land has taught you SOOOO much Ryan. You know you can do it now. You know you want to do it, and on the next plot things will go so much quicker because you know the setup and suppliers that work for you and the produce. I appreciate how it may have messed with your head since finding out. I wish I could buy the plot for you so you could stay. Our field is only rented, and the owner could take it back at any point, and I’d be devastated... but I’m not trying to make a living from it. What I’m trying to say, very badly, is that everything happens for a reason. As cliché as that sounds I totally believe it. It may not seem like that just now, but keep your chin up my friend and make next year the best yet. I have your email, so expect a message soon. Take care 😊🌱

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Been down pal, tough to get my head around it really. Lessons cannot be taken away from me, for which I am grateful. You are too kind Kelly, I will put my mind towards finding a place that works better for my goals. Thank you kindly for your words of support, they mean a lot to me:))

[@VeggieBackGarden]

What a lovely comment Kelly

[@BobMelsimpleliving.]

Good morning Ryan. WOW now that you have really started learning how everything works it's time to find a new place. Now I have a good idea why you have been so quiet. Wishing you plenty of luck to find the new land. Best wishes Bob.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you kindly Bob:)

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

When you explained how much you earned per row for the different crops like the brassicas, makes perfect sense. You've thought about this, we can all learn from that!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Context is everything. I need to focus on what will make money, not perhaps what I would grow on an allotment. I'll have a solid plan for next year:))

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

Ryan, I think you had a wonderful first year. With all that you learned. It will just make next years market garden much better. Your broccoli and cauliflower did wonderful. I can't grow it that I've given up trying, I buy at the farmers market now instead. I use the space for other things we like. I went heavy on cabbages this year. I think you are right about the herbs. Perhaps provide recipes? Some people just don't know what to do with them, other than what they've always done with them. Small beets, lovely roasted! They'd go nice with those baby carrots. Thanks for sharing. Catherine

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you Catherine. I have thought about recipes and dressing samples to pair with the greens. Have a great week my friend:))

[@McDowallManor]

Maybe the dinosaur kale was the sacrificial crop that kept the winter bore safe? Sorry, just commenting as I watch. I think you are spot on mate - market gardening is different to the home vege patch. Value really does matter, and popularity. I'm suspecting that your winter is as disruptive as my summer.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Too funny Andy, I was thinking while watching this that I will use the kale as a sacrificial crop!! -30c is a drag on growing....as is 7.5 hours of light:))

[@vickyvango634]

Dude you have such a cool tricks! Love that shot with the stove and with the wood chopping! Very nice that you've got a years notice to work on finding a new place and switching over.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thought I'd throw a little editing in for you:)

[@homesteadingwithsadie]

Ok I literally had to watch it twice ! You must have an entry from the back cause I know you didn’t put your camera inside!

[@VeggieBackGarden]

@@Mrsnufleupagus So how did do you that little short - have you got GoPros to burn ??? It must be great to be absolutely loaded like yourself - Gardening must be such a Paupers pastime for you :))))) (you do know I'm joking don't you ??)

[@whatigrownlallotment7498]

Oh Ryan, sorry to hear about your piece of land. I saw that it still makes you wanna cry, when you talk about it. Your garden is your baby, I can see that. Hopefully you’ll find a piece of land where you can start again. I think you are a winner and you will win starting all over again. Is your climate suitable for asparagus, fennel, kinghorn wax beans or cobra beans? Have a lovely weekend. Joyce

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Yes Joyce, I still get pretty emotional about this move. Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. I'll win, just have to find the next battleground!! Yes all those plants grow over here. have a great week my friend:))

[@ronaldandsusanshaws-growing]

Hi Ryan, I'm pleased you had a reasonable year on that plot, I not so pleased that you have to move off at the end of next season after all that hard work you have put in, I wish you all the very best my friend in the coming months, Take care Ryan and I'll catch you on the next one.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you kindly Ronald. I see other go thru trying times and it reminds me to keep plugging and not to give up. Hope you are well my friend:)

[@jeffreyloucks6571]

Ryan, It sounds to me like you had a successful year overall. Down the road you'll be having fond memories of how you spent this past spring and summer. Start your search for land as soon as possible. Include pictures of how you improved your father in law's land if possible. Don't be afraid to approach small land owners like me. I own about 10 acres. I would love someone to take an interest. Talk to people that are retirement age and older. If you look around you will see land sitting unused. Find some where there is a small garden stll in existence. That type of person may be interested and I'll bet that the money part will be secondary. I know it would be for my wife and I. Take care. Jeff

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

May I say, that you and your comments and taking the time to watch I really appreciate Jeff. You have much more experience than I and have solid advice. I shall keep you posted in my search for the next battleground, lol:))

[@kathivy]

Man, that’s such a bummer. I had a garden on someone else’s property, much smaller so not as much work as you’ve put in, but I had run pipe up to a creek for irrigation, set up a tiny greenhouse, spent a bunch of time building up the soil so that I was finally growing decent stuff. Then we got our own property, had to build a house first, now I’m starting back from scratch, but at least I know that everything going in is mine. I did learn a ton during those years and I think that I appreciate more what I have now because of that experience. Don’t get discouraged - keep at it. BTW I’m in Southeast Alaska (coastal Canada) so everybody thinks that it’s super cold here, but I’m actually in Zone 7b because we’re down by the water. You’re climate is definitely more gnarly 🥶

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you for relating to my challenge Katherine. All the best on developing your new growing area!! I did get pretty down about this, but feel I am levelling off and will come back strong with a plan to overcome this challenge. Lol, you are in an envious position my friend! North, remote and in the wilderness, yet lovely climate!!! thank you for such a supportive comment, I appreciate it:))

[@EssayonsFG]

Great updates on the market garden and answer to the tag question. Sorry to hear about the land use coming to an end but glad you got the experience working it. Looking forward to seeing the next step in the journey regardless of where it takes you. Cheers, Rob

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks bro, we both know there will be a next step, even if the direction is unknown:)

[@PetalsonthePavingSlabs]

Yes you CAN do it! Go for it Ryan!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

That is a battle won. Now to find a new battlefield....

[@idahogardengirl942]

AWWW! I just caught up with this one, Ryan. I understand about going "silent" for a while. I've had some stuff going on & haven't talked about it. It will come later. I so appreciate you giving your "3 things", and WOW, those are huge! Not being able to farm this current property is definitely a game changer. You could let it be a game stopper, but I cannot imagine you allowing that to happen. You learned so many things. The value of the different crops and the amount that actually sells is a real learning curve. And just when you think you've got it figured out... it changes! Kind of like a game of dodge ball! Thanks for this video, and thank you for the live with you and William today (3-1-20).

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks friend, it was a disheartening finish to the growing year. You are right, I always try to make the best of things. My frustration with everything turned into my micros venture, so something positive came out of it! Hope you have a great week, and thanks for you interaction on the live:))

[@DigwellGreenfingers]

I was so waiting for, "Sh*t, my camera is in there!" LOL Salanova - can't fault it! No point in growing things that do not generate a decent return - let's face it, you are trying to make money in a "sociable" way but there is an old saying "You cannot please all the people all of the time so why bother trying". Grow what sells and experiment with new varieties when some fail. eg Herbs as a sideline to draw a few punters into the stall? You've come a long way Ryan - kudos to you! Steve

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Haha it was getting dicey, it had to come out!!! Thanks for the kind words Steve:))

[@PinetreeLine]

You did great and you can definitely do this Ryan! Can totally understand your frustration moving forward knowing you’ll have to do this all over again but you can totally do it again brother!

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi mate, firstly you did do it! This year you’ve definitely learnt so much that will be so useful going forward. So gutted for you about having to move next year. So can totally understand why you haven’t posted a video recently. You’ve got so many of us supporting you though mate. We know you’ll find somewhere better that you’ll make your own. You’ve got the winter to plan next season and think the best way forward. You can do it buddy! Speak soon my friend. Take care. Nick

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Facts are facts buddy, and I DID do it:) Super sucks but hey, life ain't fair. I sure hope to find land to lease for a low price, that is my barrier to entry. Your support and YT gardeners have lifted me up many a time my friend. Chat soon Nick, for sure:))

[@LearningCurveAcres]

Hi Ryan, you did great in the garden this year. You definitely won against the weeds this year. My heart hurt for you when you said you're going to have to move and start from scratch again. You've got a much better attitude towards it than I would. At least you have the knowledge of what needs to be done and how to do it efficiently now. Hope you find some land that will be fertile and priced affordability. Take care my friend - Marcie

[@torptomaten3981]

Oh no, that's so sad that you have to move September next year. Moving sucks! And August/September is just really bad timing. Hugs my friend! I hope this is one of those times where shit happens but turns out to be a blessing in disguise :) who knows, maybe you'll find some amazing cheap land with perfect soil, no thistles, sun all day and a natural water source! A location closer to your home would be nice too, right?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Not looking forward to it yet pal. Lol, I agree...the Fall is a bad time to be tearing down. I appreciate the hug min vån, I've been a bit bla. Hehe I have thought of that...what if I find the perfect place??? Have a super weekend:))💛🇸🇪

[@UT33200]

Really been a good year up there and to be honest we have learned alot from your channel and this new venture you have been on. Know you are not wanting the Dino Kale again because of the worms but may want to intersperse a couple next year just in case it has been acting as a trap crop to draw them away from the other stuff. Some great lessons learned and tons of fuel for the next year push. The bigger the struggle the more we learn. Hoping you find another good spot to lock in on better. Stay warm. The cold is here for sure now. Thanks for the share!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks UT, it was quite a year! I will keep some dino kale for a trap crop...it worked very well for that! Glad you have learned a bit from following along. You folks stay warm as well, and have a great week:))

[@mariecurrie7657]

You TOTALLY DID brother! And while it's a massive amount of inconvenience and perhaps a turn in the road for an established relationship, your usual can-do attitude remains strong, if not stronger. Anyone who follows your channel or knows you has learned something here too Ryan... you are a tenacious and commited man with an honest heart & soul. There's not many people like you left in this smash'n'grab world. Stick & stay & make 'em pay. If there's anything at all that I can do, do NOT hesitate to contact me.

Hi Ryan God -10 was our coldest winter I've ever seen and it was not fun. We're lucky in UK we get to grow through the winter most years. I netted my brassicas to keep off the Caterpillars and the whitefly killed them instead. You fix one thing and another pops up to eat everything grrrr. You can and did do it. Didn't lose to the weeds. A great year. That is annoying that you have to move. You can do it though, at least you have had a go at it and see that you are able to to do it and can do it again.

@@Mrsnufleupagus you are most welcome and will do, you too!

Kinda wondered what was happening in your world, assumed you were just busy. Where ever you end up will be yours and will feel a lot better.....good option is for you and Gail to move and buy and old homestead. You'll make it work no matter what you decide. When things are rough, I remind myself: 1. Everything happens for a reason and 2. We are exactly where we're supposed to be. Hugs Deb 🌞✌🏻️

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Just feeling bla pal. That would be nice, would love a small acreage. Thanks Deb:))

[@debgarnett2468]

A little dirt never hurt -- if you dream it, plan for it, it will materialize.

[@zepherzepher1228]

Awesome!I appropriate your wisdom!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thank you:))

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Dang Ryan, sorry to hear that you have to move man. I know that was hard for you. One thing is for sure though, I know you will pick up the pieces up and be back better than ever. I agree it was a huge learning experience for you as well as me as I followed along with you.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

A shame buddy, but things have a way of working out:))

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@Mrsnufleupagus Yes you are right. Keep ya head up.

Such a 'Bitter-Sweet' video to watch (or should I say 'Sweet-Bitter' if there is such a term) - I'm gonna read through the rest of the comments before posting my own proper one. Cheers ........ Kevin

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Call it what you want Kev, got me at the knees. Hope your new adventure has been going well buddy:))

Hey brother. I have studied food production since 1976. #1 seller in all markets even beating tomatoes in the summer, greens. #1 producer, greens. #1 money maker, greens. Shade tolerant, greens. Cold tolerant, greens. Many kinds of, greens. Excellant price per pound, greens. Does great in hydro, greens. Food shortages are here. You will sell everything you grow, best investment, seeds. Grow indoors under low wattage, low cost lights, greens. Not nutrient picky, greens.

[@melodylyons4956]

Some things take frost well. Spinach, claytonia, tatsoi, some kale. Some things tolerate just above freezing, some cool.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hello friend, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it. If I read this correctly...greens is the focal point, lol!! I will adjust my plan considerably for next year:))

[@KellysKitchenGarden]

Haha! Forget what I said about the kohl rabi in my last comment. You did grow them 👍🏼

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Just not well:))

[@LostOnLandAgain]

I'm so proud of you for how far you've come. You really put the work into this thing! Maybe your father in law will sell it to someone who will allow you to continue? You never know. :) I see great things in your future my friend.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

That is kind of you Lola, thank you. I am now looking forward to a new space. Still not looking forward to doing all this over again, lol. Have a wonderful week, and take care of yourself please:))

[@babetteisinthegarden6920]

Bummer about next year TFS

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Those Poly Tunnels are Still a marvel man... Get these in Man * Swiss Chard * Rainbow Chard * Bright Lights Chard * BOK CHOY * Rainbow Carrots * Rainbow Beats Keep your chin up Brother!!

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Lol, a good fire and a smoke....my type of evening:) We think a like pal. I will do a vid of my plan for this year, and those tunnels should be rocking early (for here)! Mainly salad type fixings is what I'm gearing towards:))

[@trollforge]

Awesome attitude brother, knowledge is knowledge! So, how much land do you need to be a profitable market gardener?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

I'm trying Forgey, been a bit tough. The area I am in is under 1/8 acre and I had half of that in production this year. I don't need tons of space...just the right space.

[@williamcolemansgardenandal9017]

I doubt I'll watch a better vid in the next little while my friend. I will talk to you very soon :-)

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Taking another break from YT? LOL:)

[@MrRussbros]

Hi Ryan, great video as always Funnily enough when I was watching your videos shot at Susanna's farm I was thinking that some sort of collaboration between the the two of you would be mutually beneficial. It strikes me that she has plenty of land that is under utilised and you obviously have the work ethic and growing skills?

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Hey John! That may be a conversation that needs to be had! Thanks for thinking about it my friend, I appreciate it. I will keep everyone updated on nay progress:))

[@SouthpawDavey]

Mate you have proved you can do it. You did great brother. You know my thoughts.

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Davey, I really appreciate your support my friend:)

[@SouthpawDavey]

@@Mrsnufleupagus Micro greens and mushrooms ;-)

[@OkieRob]

Ouch I think I felt a little of that kick down here. Reminds me of a scene in dumb and dumber. Hoping things get better for you cause you do have a passion for growing things and naturally just want to share it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npWZaHprqrBlrLc

[@Mrsnufleupagus]

Thanks Rob, been a bit to deal with. Lmao, that was an awesome scene! Appreciate the smile:))
