THIS LADY HAS TRUTH AND SPEAKS IT!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lisaautry4944]

The way you began this video blessed my soul! I was overwhelmed with emotion, love for my Jesus!! Thank you for sharing the love of Christ!!

[@ravenmoon1165]

I echo your words. I became emotional at the truth and wisdom, but more the expression of the love of our Father and King of kings. How wise He is.

I agree, I've never really looked at the change of season in that way before. Thank you for that!❤

[@sherryswift1660]

I agree 💯! It was beautiful!

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL intro to your video. Praise God and all He has created.

[@jenamann3484]

Yes, enjoying as well!!

[@daniellewenn7524]

The intro was beautiful, Sarah! It is so true! We here in Michigan are feeling the same. Ready for things to slow down and enjoy the change in seasons. Have a blessed day!

YESSSSSS...SO DID I! SARAH YOUR VOICE IS SO SOOTHING! Just Love your cchannel! ❤🙏😘

[@robertaclark1233]

Some people say, I live OFF the land. I say, I live WITH the land. If it wasn't for the land we wouldn't be here. I am thankful every day for the blessings God has given me. Love your respect for what you have. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@grateful7839]

Loved that gratitude starting off.

[@shodson314]

The sun setting and then rising on a frost was a really cool affect!

[@juditrimble2604]

Due to back issues, we’ve gone to raised beds. We’re using the huge feed tubs that we get free from a friend, which is a real blessing! Thank you for so many great gardening ideas and for sharing your faith in Jesus!

[@trishcraig723]

We started with 2, 75 gallon stock tanks and now have 6. They are up off of the ground and few inches to aid in drainage and there is zero bending over! A great back saver and so easy to keep a few stray weeds under control. I still plant tomatoes and peppers in the ground, but everything else is tank farmed! Highly recommend!

[@juliecummings6887]

I loved your opening comments.

[@RiverCrockett-in7bg]

After years of fighting (and losing) the battles of root knot nematodes, neighbor's tree roots, moles and voles, along with age and a bad back, I switched to Earthboxes in 2020. I was very pleased with the results and now have nine. They sit on a dedicated area covered with weed fabric, three rows of three boxes each. There are t-posts at the end of each row, topped with PVC fittings holding a metal pipe to hold a trellis for climbing plants. No weeding, no fertilizing except for the initial addition to the potting mix at the beginning of each season, no flooding, no drought situation, just water through the fill tube once a day, easy peasey (still sometimes have to deal with some pests and disease, though). It's a small garden compared to many people, but it's sufficient for the two of us.

[@chriskoch1241]

The prairie voles alone are reason enough for such s set-up. A local orchardist told me that most mold-type diseases come from rain and hail, so covering plants and watering them as you do can help

[@ginco5203]

I live in a small town. I do not have the tiller to till an unground garden and at 60 I do not have the gumption to dig it by hand. I have 2 3X6 ft raised bed that I plant for fresh eating mainly. Although, I did get enough tomatoes this year to actually can some pizza sauce and tomato soup. I had 4 plants. I planted 2 zucchini plants in the corner and trained them to trail outside the bed and they provided me with all the zucchini I wanted and I shared some too. In the 2nd bed I planted peppers with butternut squash in 2 corners. I again trained them to vine outside the bed. Worked great and I enjoyed watching it all grow and spread.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That was a beautiful intro Sarah and Kevin, such a blessing to hear. Thanks for sharing with us , this was a great video. Stay safe and keep up the fun you all have. Fred.

[@ginagraves9302]

An amazing introduction!

[@TnCountryBoy]

Sara, thank you for the awesome witness. Unfortunately, that is rarely seen these days. You and Kevin have always been our favorite on KZbin. Dave

[@kay-wt2rw]

Thank you. Sara. What a perfect reminder of who is always responsible. God Bless you!

[@shalamacpherson3011]

I don't comment often but I have been with your channel since close to the beginning and have watched every single video the 2 of you have posted as well as all the lives (love those by the way) I really appreciate the huge amount of effort yall have put into the content you make and it has been a bigger blessing then I could ever express over these few words from a far away viewer, but truly thank you. ALSO the wonderful love you showed God in your opening today was beautiful. I've really appreciated how much more open yall have been about your relationship with God recently and it gives me so much hope and happiness for the future of our country. Love yall and God Bless 🙌 ❤️

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Praise God. Thank you so much!

[@annt5410]

​@LivingTraditionsHomestead I agree with the comments about the opening of this video. But I also wanted to make sure you saw this comment, that spider looks like a Joro spider which is considered an invasive species here in Georgia. Less than 10 years ago I never saw one but now they are everywhere, they build giant webs that are extra tough and sticky, and we rarely see "normal" spider website outdoors anymore. I am not sure you want to encourage them! Look it up 😊

[@jimtaylor2725]

What an Amazing opening. It was beautiful and inspirational, almost surreal in a true calming way. It’s hard to express what I felt in the moment. Your of love for Jesus, WOW. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ!! Then Kevin “The Tomato Whisper” comes into the picture, I enjoy his “T’s” along with shared knowledge and humor. Thank you both for making these videos and experiences.

[@GBGrandma]

We love our four raised beds. Closing in on our eighth decade, we have extended our gardening season of life with raised beds. Gardening means quality food for the table, but also food for the mind and the soul ... and good exercise. As well, conquering zone 9B desert gardening requires social and cognitive engagement with seasoned desert gardeners, taking classes, reading, and watching gardening videos. I can't think of a better way to stay all-around healthy in our senior years. Thank you for your always informative and entertaining videos.

[@tims6232]

I'm with you here in 9b Arizona as well, and it's difficult to say the least! I've managed to keep several things alive "oversummered" and going strong now that the heat broke. 😊

[@margaretsullivan2206]

I like how your raised bed garden is able to have people who are physically challenged able to garden. My son loved to garden but he was finally wheel chair bound and couldn't garden.

[@sportsfan9614]

Beautiful devotional time with excellent background music. You two people are exceptional. And your expression of Christ in your lives is really, really inspiring.

[@cherylmartin-ed5wm]

Beautiful beautiful Intro. So relaxing with my morning coffee and thanking god almighty for the Harvest

[@terryparrott9127]

Kevin and Sarah, so blessed to see how you have grown in the Lord, and are not timid in sharing with others. There are so many that need positive words and encouragment in these last days. Heaven is real and the Father's love is so abundant to all. We all need to be reminded of that. He's so blessed you and your loved ones. Thank you for giving back with your insight, Wisdom, and positive smiles! ❤

[@funniful]

Hi. I’m your copycat. I Also moved from out west to southern Missouri. I also bought the exact same greenhouse as you. I also bought a whole bunch of corrugated metal raised beds this past spring. Except, mine are INside the greenhouse. Mine are 4x8’ and 3x6’. ..by 2’ tall. I love them.

[@SuzanneSchmitt-v8h]

I really enjoyed this summary of your summers experience 😂with raised beds. It's a blessing to hear your witnessing too. 🎉

[@dutchgram3799]

Next year I am planning on installing some drip lines into the raised beds. I watched your video of when you were installing your water system for the greenhouse. I won't be doing as much as you did but I hope to prevent wasting water and NOT losing most of the garden to draught like this year. I'm praying that I will be able to make my body work as needed. I don't expect a bigger garden just more efficient. I need to plant only what I know we will use the most. Thank you for being such nice people, you don't talk down to those of us that have to learn by going to the library, then internet and by trial and error. I watch all of your videos and learn so much. So far I have been able to keep us fed, enjoyed watching things grow and bring healthy food into our bodies.

[@joannewolfe5688]

I just turned 70 and I am converting ALL of my garden areas to raised beds. I built a greenhouse with raised beds along the sides and it has been such a blessing. I guarantee that as you get older, you will appreciate the raised beds more every year.

[@petenelson8136]

You'll love the raised beds. At 65, we went to raised beds 3 years ago. I built 23, 4'x8' beds out of old corrugated aluminum barn roofing. Used 4x8 posts just sitting on the ground in the four corners and one set in the middle with a board between them to prevent the beds from bowing out. The next year I built another 18 beds. These are 4x8, 4x10 and 4x12. I got some metal sheeting a contractor friend was throwing out, cut the sheeting in half so these are 17" high vs the 32" high corrugated metal beds. Used the same process with the 4x4 posts. All going strong now for the 3 years we've been using them. I'm also experimenting with Hügelkultur (pronounced “hoogle-culture”) in 6 of my beds. We put sticks, rotten logs etc. in the bottom of the beds then filled the rest with dirt. The theory is when the sticks decompose they maintain water which the plants can use. Oh, last year I also added a drip irrigation system. So far all is going well, and my back appreciates the raised beds. We got a couple of those garden carts with the big tractor seats on them. They make a nice addition to saving your back when your weeding.

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

@@petenelson8136thanks for sharing this information.❤

[@pt8019]

What a beautiful start!

[@GraceHill-p6m]

I bought some and did them on the weed fabric too. Love, love, love them. God bless you both and thanks for all the great ideas.

[@christinehelmus8461]

Your beginning was so wonderful. Thank you. I live in Canada in zone 4b. I have been growing successfully in metal raised beds for three years. When I put my 14 raised beds together I placed old logs and brush, chicken bedding etc. in the bottom as a hugelkultur bed. I generally do not water these beds unless we have gone several weeks with no rain. This has been the most stress free and enjoyable gardening that I have ever done! I even grow trellised butternut squash, small watermelon and luffa among other things. I would highly recommend growing in this way. Weeds really are kept to a minimum and are very managable even sitting from a chair beside the bed!

[@joyces.9021]

Loved your sunrise footage.❤❤❤

[@davepyche3561]

Thank you for today’s video and thank you God for your unfailing love

[@jshep1965]

I switched to raised beds three years ago. Number one reason is I am 78 and did not like all the bending over. I do not have as much room to grow as I did have but I could get more beds. Being able to garden standing up has been a blessing.

[@kcs.farm09]

Good evening! I feel the same. After gardening since I was a little girl my first couple years as an adult I tried to save all from frost 😂 now.... when I have harvested lots I embrace frost and know it's a time to slow down and enjoy the harvest❤

[@pennycoleman9908]

In the past 25 years, I've worked with in ground, raised beds on the ground, containers like buckets, totes and earthboxes and have learned lot. With the help of the USF & The County Ext. Office, they showed me what works best for our area. This year I'm adding the big raised beds like you have and the same size. I already know I'm going to love them. Everything but the old raised beds are staying as well and we are just rearranging them to all fit in my back yard. You have to learn what works for your area and run with it. And, what grows like crazy this year might not next year. I live in zone 9B and this is the start of our growing season. Our rest time is the summer when it's too hot. 😊

[@melodyludwick6038]

I absolutely enjoyed the beginning of this video. It was calming and restful.

[@annfruge7777]

I’ve been doing raise beds for about seven years. they work quite well for me. I can sit on my little stool and work in my beds. I can plant a lot of food in them. I have great success in growing food in them. Mine are made out of cedar wood. The intro was absolutely beautiful. It is so true as the seasons change so do we.

[@Mindy56743]

I loved the way the video began. You did amazing on it

[@jaegardenlovetx]

I am definitely a container and raised bed gardener. Here in Texas our soil is very clay, plus I needed a way to keep my dogs from peeing on my veggies 😜

[@texasnurse]

Amen to the clay soil. I'm on the coast, and grow almost everything in mineral tubs or Earth Boxes. It seems to be the best way to manage water. We're either flooding or bone dry.

[@beverlyboyce1041]

I'm in Texas too, black gumbo clay soil. I use wicking tubs mostly and lots of big containers

[@northstarprepsteader]

You’ve gotten colder than me in Minnesota! I love my raised beds.

[@allenferry9632]

Thinking back i don't believe I've ever heard someone say " I can't wait to be able to spend the day on my hands and knees pulling weeds but maybe I've not been paying attention.

[@ronaldcummings6337]

One of my favorite things about being a gardener way up north is the enforced rest that winter brings ❤ My garden is done for the year as well, and I'm ready to focus on winter hobbies and shopping from my pantry for dinners. God bless!

[@tamararoberts9307]

I love a variety of in-ground and raised and pots 😊

[@laurahender2365]

I enjoy my raised beds and large containers, much success with them.

[@juliesimmonds7445]

Lovely opening! I am not getting any younger so I love my raised beds. I use a combination of raised beds, half barrels, and Green Stalks. :) Love not having to fight the weeds on steroids!

[@dianawilliams-coe7747]

I love growing in the raise beds as it is some much cleaner and easier. when putting the beds to rest for the winter it looks so much cleaner. A mix of style with the beds will look great in the garden and maybe even a mix of color.

[@melissav1416]

We do a combo of beds/ground. Super helpful is w wood beds making a bench around top. Can sit while working, resting, enjoying chicken & bees. Grandkids enjoy helping more too.

[@theresatyree3904]

Yes! God gives us rest yearly but also weekly. The 7th day is the Sabbath, in it we are to rest, put work aside and spend time with him. He is good

[@rockyusa2012]

I love the raised beds. I just ordered 4 more for next year. I have not planted orka in them yet. I'm excited to try it next year. I garden using raised beds, smart pots, and one wooden bed. But i like the raised beds best because of the height. Kevin, you can still change the shape of the beds by modifying the panels.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Beautiful introduction to the video! Thank you... such a great reminder and wonderful blessing. Blessings on your family and your homestead Kiddos! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵

[@Jschraft4971]

Loved your intro! I have a chronic illness that prevents me from getting out to my raised bed garden and tend to it. This year I planted the raised beds, got to harvest some but not all before the weeds took over, inspite of weed barriers. I just can't keep up with it anymore. I also had 3 greenstalks that I had right outside my living room door. I got more produce and enjoyment from those. So next year I'm doing only greenstalk gardening. My hubby ordered me 2 more so now I have a total of 5. Looking forward to next year's garden.

[@liz42.]

I have the tall Birdie's raised beds to grow my greens and winter/spring garden in. This last spring we did them as hot beds, and they worked great in a zone 6 winter. With a frost cloth over them, the plants grew right through.

[@janicearsenault2030]

I'm 68 yrs old with a fused back & raised beds have been a blessing for me.

[@lindacook8819]

I purchased the Advanced raised bed that has a 15 gallon water reservoir . I don’t have to water very often and the nutrients don’t wash out and I have a worm container in my bed as well. I am 70 years old and this is a much easier way for me to garden.

[@melaniem5971]

Wow! Truly an inspirational and humbling intro - That was worth putting onto paper and framing! After the initial setup ( which is pricey) , I also found it a pleasure to work in my raised beds. This was also my first year - minimal bending , virtually no weeds and for me less watering. Love working with nice fluffy soil vs my hard, rocky clay soil . I also did 2.5 x 8 ft beds and I think I’m going to extend to 4 x8 for next year . Bless the two of you - love your videos !

[@happyheartgardening]

I love the raised bed gardening. No weeds and less back breaking:)

[@kathyjeffords1671]

We found our perennials such as strawberries, aspargus, and garlic did not winter well in our raised beds as roots froze and thawed during winter. We are in zone 3-4. We ended up needing to stack straw bales around those raised beds to protect the roots. Other than that, we love our raised beds.

[@berthetranch689]

I love the start of your video about God and the seasons and how He knows what we need. I needed to hear that today.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Great review. I’ve kind of stopped watching because I’m not interested in buying all those raised beds, it’s a huge investment if you’re not a KZbinr being supplied with products, also seems like a huge waste of space. The heat from all that black fabric and metal beds has to really dry things out, huge use of water, here in the north that black fabric in rows is good because we need the heat. I live in a pine forest and have terrible soil but over the years I have added manure and compost so it’s better, I just like my plants to get nutrients from the earth and not a chemical. The weed solution seems great but I live with it. I’m glad you are happy with it because that’s slot to set up, I’m getting old but I’m still a lover of in ground gardens ! Blessings and may the Lord bring needed rest and a renewed energy for spring ❤

[@beverlywilliams444]

I loved the intro to the video today! Thank you! It gave me a new perspective!

[@borountree4539]

It's so nice to see you guys happy and content at the end of the summer gardening season. The last couple off years have been rough in your garden and it showed by the end of summer. Made my heart ache to see you looking like you just wanted to be done with it already and I feared you might not even want to tackle it again in the spring. But you always bounced back with new plans to improve things and I think the two of you have done it. The outdoor garden has finally been conquered! Congratulations and Blessings be upon your Homestead always. 🙏❤🕊

[@beverlybolden3401]

Thank you for a great gardening season!

[@hbrws813]

I LOVE what you say at the beginning!! Amen to that!

[@ellenclayton5955]

The beginning to this video was perfect. Amen!

[@cherylzacek7074]

I appreciate your analysis! We’ve been in Missouri for 3 years. After spending most of our lives in northern Illinois where is actual soil, the rock and clay we have here is so terrible to work with and makes it very easy to see why they grow cattle here, not crops. Our garden is split up between raised beds, large containers, straw bales, and mini beds in plastic ala Hedrick Kimball in upstate NY. Mr Kimball’s plan worked amazingly good in Illinois. Here, we had to adapt his plan a bit by adding a few inches of purchased soil to the surface. We’re learning what does best in each situation. Before next spring I intend to buy new plastic and cover the entire garden because fighting the weeds, especially wild blackberries, is incredibly time consuming.m and by mid-July we lost the battle. I have thought of putting the raised beds over plastic as you did for the same reason. Thanks for putting this video out!

[@22dekester]

First of all, and most important ....I enjoy your content so much! Informative, genuine, and so positive ! Number two, I also changeed (after decades) to raised beds this past season and it was a game changer. As you mentioned ( and that made me happy ) , I still planted my pumpkins and sweet corn in the ground rows. Thank you for your content, God bless! ❤ Nova Scotia !

[@judyellen4412]

Really enjoyed seeing the sun set and sun rise you filmed. It was worth any of the work it took to show us. I love flower gardening in raised beds. My husband made me 2 gardens about 26’ long by 9’ wide using old logs from buildings and made the gardens 3 logs high. The great drainage that you were talking about is the same with these and not many weeds. I love them! I can sit on the sides of them and work all around the garden tending to things. We have a huge fenced in vegetable garden and we work in it the old fashioned way but he leaves space enough between the rows to be able to pull a disc and tiller between them to keep that part of the garden weed free. We love gardening and the results we can see and eat. Enjoy your videos Sarah and Kevin. Take care.

[@KimandFrank]

Thank you for your final Roundup always look forward to seeing you have a great day all the way from Washington State

[@TheTinkerersWife]

Btw... I loved how the opening of this video. A beautiful truth we all need reminding of every so often. Thank you Sarah. ~Patty in Oregon~

[@annemcgirt5296]

We haven't had frost but we did get down into the upper 30s. My okra looks a little sad, my fall tomatoes look good but my mini-bell peppers are looking sad. My spinach is looking better than it did in the heat. I seriously think that most of the suffering my plants did was because of the intense sun and irregular rain (6 weeks without a drop and then 6 inches; 4 weeks with no rain and then 3 1/2" followed 2 days later by 3 3/4". Thanks for another successful year and for sharing your life on the homestead!

[@sheilarae]

I loved your opening and correlation with time to rest! We all need winter to rejuvenate! I started watching during Covid and built a raised garden bed at that time. I didn’t put enough support in the center and it bows a bit. It’s perfect for the two of us and our small yard!

[@tamara-lnlhomestead1441]

My hubby built me some waist-high raised beds in 2020, because I'm disabled and can't get down on the ground anymore. They're 8' long x 2' wide and 36" tall. We were able to get the lumber before the prices went sky-high. I painted the outsides of the boxes with an exterior enamel paint and then the insides, we drilled drainage holes and I melted together mineral oil and beeswax to protect the wood without using chemicals. After painting the insides with the mineral oil/beeswax mixture, we laid down weed fabric to also help preserve the wood. They have worked out perfectly for me and I love them ALOT. I've been Blessed with a great man who encourages me to continue doing what I like to do to without hurting myself. We did add a couple of the galvanized beds to our garden this season and he works those for me, when I can't do it. We've been together for over 21+years and have been truly Blessed with a great relationship and love for each other. Blessings to you 2 from a follower from the mtns of Virginia.🙏🏼🫂❤️

[@pamkirk4350]

The opening was so beautiful and thought provoking.

[@srsioajn]

A friend recommended filling raised beds with small logs--with a good layer of compost on the top. The wood supposedly both takes up space, but makes it so you have to water less often. The wood also turns to compost over time.

[@sherriunderwood6843]

Love the intro. So truthful

[@murlthomas2243]

I bought the 4x8 beds. I like the higher beds because I have back problems. I have really loved working in them and will be buying a few more next year.

[@chriswinger7881]

I love my raised beds and planning on getting more 😌

[@helenbuckwalter3955]

Thanks for the review of your raised beds. We’ve been amending our garden for 25 years and have some lower raised beds. The soil is beautiful but some trees on the west side have grown a lot so we have less hours of sun which is becoming a problem. However, we have a deck that might work as a place to use some beds like yours. And we are 76 and almost 78 and in-ground gardening is not as easy any more!

[@cmccarver56]

I’m not a homesteader, but I love your videos. I’ve been following you for quite some time. Have a blessed day.

[@amyphillips7862]

Your introduction was beautiful!

[@denisekelley2292]

I have some raised beds and terraces (we're on a hill). I like raised beds much more than in the ground less weeds and less kneeling. This is the first year I have welcomed fall and putting the garden to bed. We won't have a killing frost for another month or so. I am done and have been gradually pulling things as they are done. It has been more relaxing and easier to manage.

[@darceyschultz2370]

I have a green stalk i love for growing lettuce ,kale, spinach swiss chard easy to cut and water from the top. I took it apart one year and used it to make 5 separate pots for my green beans onions bok choy tomatoes and kale worked great. I have 4 raised beds 2×4x 6 i love the hight less bending. And i grew corn in one it was 1 x4x6 Christmas gift over soil no fabric under for my grandson who was 6 to plant his corn. He loved it that his corn grew and he planed it. Im 76 and still plant veggies in my garden. After all we all need to eat. Why not healthy for yourself. Not store bought God bless love your videos. Doug and stacy off grid made there garden raised beds with cedar wood. And acre homestead her are 2x4x10 and she has like 25 beds i believe she also cans and preserves for winter. Love all these videos on prepping our food. We all should grow our food.

[@InceleHubby]

My daughter has a setup like yours. I'm in process of scraping off all the thistles & bindweed with a backhoe for laying down the fabric. Thanks for your example & info.

[@cathyversteeg3051]

I had two huge garden spiders in my tomatoes. Unfortunately I also had squash bugs. I would catch the squash bugs, lay then on the spider webs, and watch them go to town! So satisfying! 😊

[@Willene1950]

That was a scary looking spider. Looked like it was frozen in time

[@DawnRaeB]

I enjoyed this video. I live on a mountain ridge. My only practical choice is raised bed gardening. Unfortunately, most of my weed seeds are spread by the wind. So I still have weeding to do. In my tall raised beds, I start out with sticks and fairly green logs on the bottom. That seems to help quite a bit. I was so thrilled when I found a huge bunch of earthworms (red worms) happily living in my livestock trough raised beds.

[@sandquist_ranch19]

I have raised beds here in South Dakota and I grow pumpkins and watermelon in raised beds. I plant them along the edge and let them grow over the edge onto the ground. I got amazing watermelon and cantaloupe this year doing it this way. Hope this helps. Love your videos! ❤️

Thank you for sharing! It has been so dry here. I’m happy I still have things growing right now tho! Thanks for sharing your review! 😊❤

I’ve been doing raise beds for about seven years. they work quite well for me. I can sit on my little stool and work in my beds. I can plant a lot of food in them. I have great success in growing food in them. Mine are made out of cedar wood. Your intro was absolutely beautiful and it is so true as the garden begins to shut down so do we. It is often needed. We work very hard all spring and summer. now the beds are put to sleep and rest, so do we rest. ❤

I really enjoy your videos. Your love of Jesus is precious. We put 30” tall bed in 4 years ago and are really glad we could. Ours are on concrete and they are so much easier on our backs. Ours are Birdies beds. Thank you for your videos.
