Love your garden! You've got some great helpers! Great video! ❤

[@Alaskan6pack]

Yeah and thank you!!! Just subscribed to your channel & Mathews Bushcraft. Was wonderful to meet your family yesterday. Hope you are enjoying the soap! Will be looking forward to your next videos!!😊

[@BrakesBake]

Every time I watch your videos I’m so impressed by your family. The teamwork is amazing. Teaching young people that it takes hard work to reap rewards is a lesson that cannot be underestimated. To all your family, congratulations on being an awesome help to your parents. Way to go!

[@Alaskan6pack]

Oh you are so nice...we are trying! So much to learn and try to teach our kids while they are " younger".... they are such great kids. We are so lucky. Thank you for watching us!! 😊

[@BrakesBake]

@@Alaskan6packwould you consider showing us how you cook the beets in an episode? Unless you’ve already one.

[@Alaskan6pack]

No I have not done that yet.. Great idea though. I will absolutely do that in one of our videos! They are so beautiful in color

[@BrakesBake]

@@Alaskan6pack Thank you, I’m excited to look forward to it. Yay.

[@OffgridAlaskaliving]

I just picked some beet and broccoli leans to go with lunch.

[@Alaskan6pack]

Oh that sounds so wonderful!!!

[@buggabee477]

I love the sound of the rain on your greenhouse! My hopes are to have ours up for the fall season. 🤞 You know me as Lisa 😊 We are neighbors at the market and in homesteading. 👋 Hi!

[@Alaskan6pack]

Cool!!! I bet you will have yours up by fall. It has been a lifesaver with this rain and cool weather! Our outside cabbage is doing horrible. Too cold? Not sure, just happy we have the greenhouse!... so worth it

[@maryboggan8251]

The garden looks great. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Alaskan6pack]

Oh thank you... Hoping for an Anchorage Costco trip tomorrow...will make a video out of that one! 😊

[@marieparks5674]

I always left a little more top on the beets, didn’t bleed so much

[@Alaskan6pack]

Ah, good to know.! Beets are one of my favorite foods. I am going to try to buy some fetta tomorrow

[@maryhall6584]

Also if you dont like the beet tops in salads or cooked i bet the chickens would love them

[@Alaskan6pack]

Yes...I used to add them in our smoothies. So good.

[@maryhall6584]

Awesome. So happy your garden is producing. You look like you will have sauce, sauerkraut and beets to can. Have you pulled any onions, they are looking strong. Good rain for the potatoes. How are the items Lily planted outside doing?

[@Alaskan6pack]

Doing great...! Our rhubarb has started to come up! So exciting... yes I agree on the potatoes. We have not pulled any onions just yet. They are not huge just yet. Do you know why the purple cabbage is not getting a " ball" ? I am not sure what is going on.... still learning on gardening. Let me know your thoughts...!

[@maryhall6584]

I think crowding when it was trying to crown. See email

[@Alaskan6pack]

Ok I will look...

[@jewels7832]

Do you guys feed the garden clippings to your chicken? Thanks for the tips on pruning tomatoe plants. I know you fear worms, I fear spiders & we have big ones here in Fl like the size of your husband's hand! 😮 lol ugh

[@Alaskan6pack]

What spiders that big????? Yuck!! That's horrible. Nasty. We use the clippings for compost too... I will keep you posted on if the pruning helped the tomatoes grow bigger & better....!

[@jewels7832]

@@Alaskan6pack will look forward to the tomatoe updates. It is a wolf spider, big & creepy! The banana spiders are just as bad, they jump...yuck 🤮 lol

[@Alaskan6pack]

Oh man! That's horrible! ...

[@johnsonr9]

Good video. Do you grow turnips? Seems like they might work well there.

[@Alaskan6pack]

Not yet. I would love to next year. A viewer sent us some horseradish and rhubarb and we planted that. I am looking forward to pulling the onions...especially the red ones. Hopefully they are getting big

[@TheAdventuresOfKimber.Jessica]

[@Alaskan6pack]

Ha! Well it will be a good time

[@maryhall6584]

Have you had worms on the tomatoes in Alaska. We never had them when I was growing up in MN. FL they were there.

[@Alaskan6pack]

No....I have not seen any yet...! But trust me I am not looking too hard either!!! Lol.

[@mikemckinley1031]

Awesome thanks for sharing this video gardening is fun but I don’t like beets my grandmother used to make me eat them in the early seventies when I was nine years old oh god severe thunderstorm is hitting my city today possible tornado warning not good

[@Alaskan6pack]

Well I understand I never have liked beets most of my life either. Definitely an acquired taste for sure....I get you there. Wow, your weather sounds aweful, be safe...
