READING YOUR ASSUMPTIONS WHILE I HARVEST MY GARDEN

[@haleypenuel3438]

“I look kinda like a granola woman, I look like I smell like oats” that made me cackle out loud thank you

[@charlotteroberts8822]

When you bent down and told us to meet you at the big garden bed, you exuded sweet, playful and trustworthy mom vibes. You’re going to be such a great mama to lil bbs one day💛

[@meghanhughes]

🥺 thank you

[@Sarah-em6oz]

some tips from a farmer aphids- a little bit of rubbing alcohol in soapy water works great as a spray carrots- you gotta thin them! once the sprouts come up, pluck some out so there is 2ish inches between each sprout and you’ll get bigger carrots. you can eat the sprouts you pull out butternut squash- you gotta cure it before you eat it or it won’t taste good. let it sit in a warm place for a couple weeks

[@andgx0x]

I have such a different lifestyle than you yet love watching your videos. You genuinely seem like you are just a good person trying to spread love and that’s how I feel as well. I love how authentic you are in being yourself... it’s incredibly admirable.

[@meghanhughes]

thank you so much!

[@BonnieQualls]

I know you have countless garden videos on your tube, but I would love love love just a whole gardening series. Gardening 101, your favorite gardening books, tips & tricks, gardening for beginners, ALL THE THINGS! lol

[@halliesharpless9298]

selfishly hoping you guys move to the east coast and start a BnB in Vermont on your farm and have workshops/ classes on homesteading and all the fun things you guys do!!!

[@meghanhughes]

a dream!

[@jessicacrawley7220]

For aphids, we bought ladybugs at a local grow shop years ago and every year they come back and eat most if not all the aphids. It's pretty neat when they start hatching, they don't look like ladybugs at first when they don't have their shell.

[@imakitchensink]

Meghan, I’m the girl that grew up right outside of Middleburg (we talked about that once before I think)! My family moved from Virginia to Montana when I was much younger and trailered our 4 horses (one of which was a draft) across the country… crazy right LOL. It was actually much easier than it sounds, you just have to plan far enough in advance and map out your route so it coordinates well with wherever accepts overnight campers with farm animals/etc. Let me know if you and Finley end up loving VT next month and we can have a chat about the logistics behind it lol. I want to help you keep your beloved piggies 🐷💗 no need to separate! PS - so glad to hear you’re staying safe from any wildfires this year. We had a forest fire last month that came within a mile of my property here in Virginia and burned almost 100 acres… can’t imagine what happened out west. 🥺 -Ali

[@noautotune1]

you are so beautiful, so happy for your harvest and so sad i can't try any of it!

[@jstarryeyes]

Hi Meg!! 💛 you so much, and I noticed just one small wording thing that would make a world of difference to native people. Instead of saying that native people “used to” do anything, just saying that they use the silks for tea is less micro-aggressive. Mentioning natives in the past tense perpetuates the mentality that they no longer exist, making it easier for many people to push their very real and specific issues aside! I know this wasn’t at all a mal-intended comment, but I also thought you’d react well to this comment and take it in stride. You’re an incredible woman and I adore your content and mindset. Thank you for the longer videos 💛💛💛

[@meghanhughes]

i feel that! definitely an unconscious comment but i get what u mean!

[@jewelianachisholm2530]

Just a heads up! I’m a dog groomer I love great pyranees but they require a LOT of brushing. A lot of people get them not realizing the work that goes into it so it’s something to think about especially with a farm! Also Ily I’m obsessed with your garden

[@marycaunce7697]

omg watching you harvest veggies makes me so happy!!! I don’t know why but i luv so cute

[@Amy-qb4tk]

Heads up as a vermonter, houses and apartments are ridiculously expensive right now! Lotsa fancy city people have thrown down cash during covid to buy a property and have turned them into air bnbs. This is probably happening everywhere, but the vermont market is real crazy, my partner and I are even struggling to get a two bedroom apartment. But there's definitely tons of gorgeous land! Ya just gotta time it right

[@Katesbookishnature]

I live in Vermont as well, and I have been seeing houses that are not even worth $200k and being sold at over $400k.... and they are not being bought by VTers because we know better 😅 housing is literally a crisis in our state right now 😔

[@lululouisee]

Hi boo! I've been watching you since we were both 13 and I love to see how much we've both grown when I check-in. I've been in a mental health rut and haven't been on social media in a long while but it's so nice to be back and catching up. So happy for you and Fin! Sending so much love ❤️ ❤️❤️

Love ya Meghan, your lifestyle inspires me to connect to the land more

[@meghanhughes]

thank you!!!

[@abigatorblake]

Do you think the ash from last year’s fires helped your soil be more fertile, and then making your gardens so awesome this year? I’ve heard burning “low-fertility” land can help them in the future

[@meghanhughes]

maybe! i know native communities always use controlled burning to encourage better growth

[@MrVikingsandra]

I never thought I'd say this but these harvest videos are my favourite kinda videos 😍 It really is satisfying to watch

[@MsAlaskanGirl907]

I have an aphids problem in my strawberry patch EVERY summer! I feel your pain! This year I discovered neem oil and it did the trick for me! Since oil doesnt mix well with water, I added a liquid detergent to help the oil emulsify. I typically do a couple cups of water, a good amount of neem oil, and then a wee bit of detergent and put that all in a spray bottle to periodically spray down my plants. Hope that helps :) (Much love from Alaska!!

I love your garden❤️ amazing work girl! also, you uploaded this on my birthday :0

[@thebluecottage9952]

My dad transported chickens a few states away and they were totally fine. At night he stopped and checked their food and water. It’s definitely stressful for them but when they get to where they are going the settle. Dogs are a lot like pigs so I think the travel may be hard in them but I don’t think it would be so hard that it would mean you shouldn’t take them but having said that I have never cared for or transported pigs.

[@katsmith8432]

The passion you displayed for this year’s potato harvest was amazing. Thank you so much for matching my fire sign energy😂

For aphids I usually use dish soap and water and jet wash them off the plants 😭 it is a lil bit of work but it keeps them away longer than just water… I think any soap could work 🤔

[@sharlenevillnave7347]

[@vmbrocca]

You can actually buy more lady bugs to release in your garden and they will get to work on the aphids. I’m not sure of the effects on the ecosystem of your garden if it’s over populated by lady bugs but I assume they will probably mostly move on after finishing the food source. 🐞✨ And other than that you are glowing in life! I love watching all the positive abundance coming your way. You’re inspiring 💕
