Suggestion: when you get ready to buy fruit trees, get together with CRC to make your orchard. Split it, because you usually need two of each tree to pollinate each other. And one tree will feed both families.

[@NovaBill6264]

Awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen

[@rongray4847]

Hi Mel and Gary, that was a nice place to get plants, they sure had quite the assortment of plants. Good luck with your planting!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@joecloud8884]

Did you ever look at a strawberry under a microscope..lol..do it and you will never eat one again...the craziest thing ive ever seen..😮😮😮

[@AuntieAnn]

Fun shopping adventure 😀... Yummy vegetable plants, and yummy brunch 🤤

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Love ya Auntie Ann ❤️

[@AuntieAnn]

@@SimpleLifeReclaimed Love you too ❤️

[@frankquesnel2768]

Don't forget a new measuring tape Gary

[@southernboycookin5383]

Ms. Mel, don't forget to plant the tomatoes very deep, deeper than you probably think you should. Most of those 'stems' should in the ground. Peppers, just plant as they are. You'll be alright, methinks.

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Fruit trees need 2 for pollination be good to go in w CRC between your houses. Take bottom leaves off 🍅 and plant in ground up to that point. ❤

[@jenthrasher5056]

Those pepper plants, bury to the first leaves and remove all fruit starts to get a good yield from them. Fruit trees dont produce "great" fruits for first couple years. So it dont matter it you buy them with fruit starts on them. I lants tge 5 tye lum trees 4 years ago, this is first year tgey flowered, and man they will get alot of fruit this year. So hwe have to build a cold fridge in our barn to kee the fruit good when we harvest. We have strawberries, blueberry, rasberry, peach trees, apple trees (6) plumtrees (2) and cherry trees.(4) Rubarb (4) i started the white pine berries last year, (looks like a white strawberry on they taste like pineapple. Aso on your tomatoe lants bury most of tge growth stem, to create stronver plants and keep the false branches cut off. Nice size freezer

[@buydirectusa4954]

I only have 40 strawberry plants. Never enough. ❤❤❤

[@janengels3635]

Loved that Gary said Home Depot was his happy place. My hubby retired after 24 years from the Pro Desk. He was always bringing home tools, etc from the clearance section. Neighbors called him Mr Tool Time! We have a 600 square foot workshop/tool shed in the backyard that I call the mini Home D! My happy place is garden nurseries!

[@rmcc42]

Gary, I just can't help myself! I see you are like me, you LIKE strawberries! I was born and lived in south Arkansas till I was about 28! Sadly we only had fresh strawberries for about 2 months each year (If we were lucky)! I retired about 19 years ago (yep, I am old) and moved to Costa Rica, mainly for the climate. One of the first things I had found out about Costa Rica was that they grow the best strawberries in the world! And a quart container will seldom have more than one partially bad berry, usually NONE! Now for the GOOD part of all this - They are available 12 months a year! Yep I said every day of the year you can buy freshly picked strawberries, and for half what they cost in the States!

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Howdy Gary and Mel, get yourself a copy of the farmers almanac, find out when your last frost date for your area, dont want waste money on plants that doesnt survive temp drops 32 and under.

[@brendasutterfield9834]

It's ok to go crazy on plants . I am so glad that you guys got a lot of plants for you guys garden area. I'm so excited to see you guys do with it all. .❤❤ Love plants but don't have a green thumb lol. Love you guys so so much ❤I'm first this time.hope Gary remember his tape measure ❤

[@debbiecustard5225]

There is lots of beautiful perennials. That’s a good investment.

[@suzannestubbins]

"So true"....." l have many perennials, planted 30 years ago and still going strong, so worth it" 'But l do love my annuals'😊❤

[@lenprice6315]

Enjoy the video always love your content. Y’all are doing so awesome thank you ……Tiny Houston MS

[@judyavants7928]

I use to plant flowers but I can't bend over & do it anymore. Because if I bend over I would fall. But I love flowers.

[@Mmac-qt8jn]

Isn't Home Depot every mans happy store 😂. I go there sometimes just walk around for an hour or two and walk out with nothing or bunch of stuff I don't need 😂.

[@pamt7740]

Know that scenery here rain, rain and more rain lol. Our home depot is called B&Q same colours too. MY favourite haunt! I love garden centres. I wander round for hours! (same as B&Q). Lavendar is a great bush for bees. We need pollinators like bees.

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB I LOVE that nursery, and the one at Sutherlands is good too!!! We dont go to FS very often tho. I like the Golden Corral down there too, much better then some we have eaten at! Rain coming in this evening so guess I had better finish planting peppers!! I got sweet banana, Marconis and Pablano s, havent seen any Cowhorns yet.

[@TownersMoments]

I hope when you got your strawberries you made sure you got both male and female plants if not they won’t pollinate to fruit. And make sure you plant them not far from each other to make pollination easier.

[@PaulineLyons]

Mel you should plant the strawberries on the slope leading to the coops. Keep on adding with different fruits. Such as blackberry bush,blueberries,and raspberries.

[@PaulineLyons]

They will continue to spread with runners.

[@PaulineLyons]

Possibly some fruit trees?

[@suejackson1731]

You got a lot done l enjoyed watching you both shop, and Gary's face when he saw the strawberries reminded me of my children at Christmas. Congrats to the newly weds l wish them all the best for their future together.

[@geraldstoddard8215]

I used to take my daughters to the Village Inn in Fort Smith when they were younger and my youngest always thought I was asking them if they wanted to go to Billy Jim's. From then on, we always called Village Inn Billy Jim's.

[@54maggiemoo]

Nice plants. Mel, your brunch looked good enough to eat, lol.

[@darrellhuisman1544]

FYI did you know that ACE is a subsidiary of LOWE'S hence the red vests.❤

[@Lifessweetgifts]

We've got big storms rolling in tonight from Oklahoma and Texas. Saying about 11 pm it should start whinding up. Not sure what direction it's moving But your to the east of me. So keep all those plants safe for now. ❤

[@his4evr2c]

@Simple Life Reclaimed MeL and Gary Good job y'all I was laughing because I didn't see Gary get a auto measuring Tape. Heh heh heh You tried.

[@Betsy-sp7jr]

Plants look healthy ❤

[@paulshuppert4975]

That lower deck going to be good place for hanging flower pots

[@rhondabrown306]

Be sure and pluck the smaller leaves at the lower side of the plant. This will help to strengthen the stock as it grows. Happy planting!

[@louiseclovemypups9186]

Gary must be my kid, I love Home Depot.

[@anniehawkins6321]

I am trying to listen to you guys but that view in the background is killer ! How beautiful!!

[@lorilarkin827]

I’m green with envy 😅 So nice and green there. We need rain up here in Saskatchewan Canada. Things are starting to bud here and the tulips are waking up. 🫶🇨🇦

[@kentneeley4783]

It’s good to get out once in a while… happy afternoon coffee…. Have a great day…

[@truckinut20]

I'm thinking to myself as you pull into the parking spot.... Noooo don't do it... you'll be broke when you leave ...lol

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Hey guys! I love how Gary shop's, he wants some strawberries! LOL Looks like you made a haul for your garden! Love that.

[@markrobinson5511]

Thanx for taking me along.

[@KrazeeFoxx735]

They sell out fast so if you have your heart set on something get it now, I used to live in Greenwood, Arkansas but am back in Iowa now. Next time ur in Fort Smith, try El Zarape best table size guac and try the brewery downtown, they have a hatch green chilli chicken sandwich that is out of this world.

[@carolhursh8547]

Strawberries are my favorite🥰

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

Marigolds planted around the edge of gardens will keep deer and rabbits out. They hate the smell. You are going to need to eventually build a large tunnel greenhouse to get your plants started earlier and increase your growing season. You should be throwing your organic material onto a big pile (think grass clippings, any organic stuff from the house, paper, etc) this can be turned eventually with a backhoe. Look up Huglekulture gardens. They pile branches and such up and cover with grass and smaller branches and finally with grass. I'm not sure of the spelling but it will probably autocorrect during the search. the rotting material provides heat as well as organic stuff for things to grow.

[@JesusLuvzU2]

They sell those online in black that’ll make your house look so much more appealing and give it a pop look up decorative t brackets

[@daviddarnell8898]

The only state coffee is grown in is Hawaii, I think. However most fruit trees usually take a few years after transplanting to produce much fruit. So plant at least a few ASAP. Then add one or two every year until you have all you want. Some fruits do well near water so get a few with your neighbors and grow down by the pond.

[@timwolters1969]

You are much better than ME I would have told Gary to go get Biggie. LOL, Your Garden is going to pay off for you Guys

[@mrrs8118]

Beautiful plants! We’re a few weeks behind you here in Minnesota but I can’t wait to visit the garden centers!

[@karenspeer7378]

Good Afternoon Mel and Gary!! ❤️🌞✨️

[@tawneyaldubais]

Those are some nice looking veg. Plants/flowers.

[@HalfAssHomestead]

I have 50 strawberry plants and a Elderberry Tree getting delivered next week from Fedco. Might be something you might want to look into. The prices are fair.

[@anibor99]

I just planted blueberries and two apple trees, and two peach trees. I’m so excited to watch them grow.

[@kimberlyllamas5804]

That's some good looking already established veggies there

[@aquiltingmama]

Good to see you kiddos are moving right along! Love y'all!

[@eugeneharris6898]

Hope ya got a dozen tape measures so ya have one everywhere ya could possibly need one.😊

[@barbscarrow7300]

Love going to the green house just like a kid in a candy store😉 you can never have enough Mel. I agree sometime it is better to shop local ❤️🇨🇦

[@rolandbordelon4556]

Please try a strawberry plant inside a cinder block

[@karenbrest187]

Hello 🤗 glad you had a good day getting everything you needed 😊 Take care 🙏🇺🇲🌷🪻

[@brendagustainis6353]

Gary when you go to put the fertilizer on your plant you only put about a quarter of the poopy water in the bucket and then you fill it up with more water fresh water and then give it a stir and pour it in your

[@meanmamameanest6314]

Hi guys ❤ just wanted to let you know that I heard it is dangerous, even deadly ,to travel while wearing a hair claw ,incase of a accident it can break and get impeded in the back of your head . So now i remove mine while driving . Want nothing but the best for yous hon . Love yous 💗

[@cindyb9812]

That’s one of my favorite garden places in Ft.Smith!

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

We drove past it so many times but had no idea it was THIS AWESOME Inside!!! 🎉

[@SusanIsaacs-v8d]

If you're looking for rain gutters maybe you can find some at the place where they refurbish materials like doors, windows and maybe gutters. I can't remember the name for the life of me.

[@michellemartens6372]

Stop in Booneville and pick up your package, it will be so nice for you Mel when building on your house

[@threewillowsfarm7779]

Please don't forget to give this awesome couple a thumbs up. We need KZbin to promote these guys . All love you two.🌿💛🌿

[@jennifercook7450]

Happy planting and then enjoy all of your hard work

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Mel you do such a great job telling us did & what's coming next & you guys work well together to achieve your plans for the day, Your homestead will Thrive ! Transplanting big plants is hard hope they do well for you :)

[@hallenw]

You need some of the dreaded DRYWALL! 😂

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Ooooo you said a Bad word! 😂

[@patriciarussell756]

We used to have the village inn but now we don't. Their silk chocolate pie was the best!

[@malindaharris1783]

We Love Village Inn! They have amazing skillets!. If you haven't been yet you need to try Calico County!!!

[@AdrienneWashington-d4h]

I'm so Godly proud of you both 💗 It's been awhile since I visited y'all. I lost my mom and I took some time to heal ❤❤. Love you both and your beautiful children. Peace and Blessings to both families 🙏🏿 take care of yourselves ❤

[@Kammitoes]

Your breakfast looked sooo tempting Mel! About Gary's plan for the Zombie Apocalypse....he came up with that plan in hurry....That's Gary, always the man with a plan. Thanks for taking us along with you. That was fun. I haven't been out to shop in many years (wheelchair, highset house blah blah) but I have no problem joining others vicariously. I'm looking forward to coming along for your planting party getting all of those lovely plants into your gardens. Good haul that! 🇦🇺

[@judyherman1249]

Just so you know, if you don't already, don't plant apple trees within a few hundred yards of cedar or juniper tree. There pollen can kill Apple trees. Gary, you're so fun. I can see you living at Home Depot and planting "Strawberry fields forever..." Lol

[@Revelation22-13]

Revelation 1:4-6 King James Version 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Gods blessings over you .

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Mel, where did you find the room for free pie.....🤣🤣🤣

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Hahaha I like to eat

[@roberthealey7238]

As per depression era grandma: Buy 2 of each type of tomato/pepper plant and when they grow side branches, prune them and plant those as additional stand alone plants. Saves $$$ and increases overall crop. Family has been doing this for years. Probably works for other veg plants but tomatoes and peppers are what I’ve seen work for sure.

[@rosenhauer-racing]

Hi SLR-Family, don't bring the potatoes to the ground. Inform about potatoes out of a bucket. Kind regards from Germany.

[@kevinkirby6763]

So sorry to hear about the passing of Kenji😢 But he was blessed to have a long happy life with such a wonderful loving family.❤

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

If you get a blue plastic barrel or something like it, you will have a way to mix native soil, topsoil and fertilizer to put in your garden. Bed preparation is key. If you don't have one yet a tiller is key. Breaking up the clumps in the garden is key. Mixing the soils and additives together are key.

[@dorothywilliams8306]

Hi Gary and Mel your garden is going to be great I just planted mine and yes we have strawberries to I hope you all get to finish your home before Christmas so you guys could be looking at the snow on the mountain I can’t wait for your next video

[@rayoliver7120]

I grew up with having pear ,apple and orange along with miniature lemon trees , we had 2 of each , the pear and apple trees 🌳 were the best at giving a big harvest , I'd sit out under the apple trees eating fresh pears 🍐 with limbs so full they bent to the ground , nothing like fresh fruit , our neighbors like it also cause we got paper bags full and gave them away ....... it was a good bountyfor many years. Mint is a good one to have around where you don't want spiders to stay around .

[@karenchesser6348]

Correct on the depth of the tomatos, plant them deep in a "bowl" and as they grow push the dirt up around the tomatos, they will root through the stem making the tomato stronger. With all of the eggshells you have, after washing them, crush them up and sprinkle them around your vegetables, it them calcium and helps to keep slugs out.

[@Beckles2]

Nice plants 🪴 Have friends that lives in Booneville nice little town lived there shortly then moved back to Oklahoma 🙂

[@akgobears]

Funny the local Ace where i live is always more expensive across the board than either Home Depot or Lowes and they are all here....

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

You should look into online sources for Heritage seeds. they are seeds of plants that have been around for a long time. Don't forget to plant things like corn and wheat. they are a good crop that can be used by humans and animals.

[@stephenkennedy7931]

Just call it the barn yard lol God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@MrMooneclips]

hmm, i thought they would use the car port upcycled material to create the green house but they used it to create the barn instead. and for the coffie bean comment, that could come after the green house lol! well have a great day ! :)

[@ronnydowdy7432]

Great shop along. I hope you get everything delivered. That dead tree in the backyard is going to rot fast being covered that deep in the ground.

I have a place here that is a wholesale place that has zip tape for $20 a roll. I buy in quantity. the stretchy type is harder to find.

[@anniemorrison1250]

You may want to get some bug netting over those strawberries so the Japanese beetles and slugs don't get to them. Mine are in a chicken run this year with insect netting over the coop.

[@estellaknox9285]
