What a beautiful life you’re living. So blessed❤️

[@thisgoldenhour]

Far from perfect, but so grateful for the blessings 💗

[@ladybugmom10]

You have the most beautiful property. What a huge blessing.

[@MartinlovesFrances]

This was so fun to watch. Loved the garden tour, the variety of all your veggies is great! The pizza looked so good. Your children look so happy and love learning to plant. God bless!

[@thisgoldenhour]

Aww thank you so much 😍

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Also you can store banana peels in freezer till your ready to use them.

[@shirleywilhelm1495]

Banana peels are make roses bloom. An easy way to use them, is put in blender with some water, it will be liquid. That's the easiest way to apply to roses.

The garden is amazing. Beautiful 😍 and that pizza, wow!!! Love your channel.

[@lifenlunacy5833]

I love seeing your garden. Our soil where I am in Florida is essentially 90% sand. I have to work so very hard to grow anything. So as I figure things out I love watching other peoples gardens flourish.

[@myhopefilleddays2923]

Loved loved loved this video 🥰 Seeing your garden is just AMAZING!!! So inspiring Steph!! I cannot wait to see the dahlias grow ♥️ Also, the pizza looked FANTASTIC! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us ☺️

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you so much for your kind words 💗

[@wendymiller1494]

I have only been following you for a few weeks but I am really enjoying your content

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you so much, Wendy 🥰

[@franceskloos1297]

Love this video spending the day with you and your family is such a treat. The garden is full of wonderful food to eat and enjoy. I enjoyed watching you make the pizza what a wonderful dinner. Your kids are so lucky to be growing up on a farm to watch things grow and to eat healthy!!!

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you, Frances 💗

[@wendybartolomeo3217]

So fortunate to grow your own raspberries Steph, here where we live I pay almost $8 for one small container 😬😬.

I was so happy to see your video up this morning! I enjoyed my morning coffee while watching your video. I live in Alaska and Alaska is actually a wonderful place for peonies. We have many peony farms here and we are able to produce peonies that are shipped worldwide. Our growing season is almost opposite of other countries, so while many countries cannot get fresh peonies, we have them. We actually have a large peony festival coming up. I thought that would be something you enjoy. ☺️ May God bless you and your family!

[@thisgoldenhour]

Oh my goodness, a peony festival sounds AMAZING 😍

[@stella6576]

I've recently discovered your channel and your such a real and hardworking mama! Your house and outside look so nice and taken care of! I wish to have a garden that looks like this one day! Mine right now is needing a little extra love 😄

[@lindabrown545]

love your videos ♥️ just love the garden and farm the pizza looked so delicious too I enjoyed watching

[@cristinaturcin]

Your funny. “Sit there and watch it grow” that made me laugh. You made my morning.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Haha thanks! It’s practically true 😜

[@joscelynpease6656]

Beautiful family, life and garden!

[@dappledaylight2628]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing! I am learning so much from you. I love lavender too. I bought the variety "Phenomenal" and I plant it using regular potting soil but I put it in a 30 gal grow bag and then I put that grow bag in a big decorative pot. My lavender loves it. Had many of them in my vegetable garden at the end of each raised bed or on the corners. You do have to trim them... cutting back all the flower stems each fall. Next spring they green up and soon have flowers again all season until time to trim again.

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

Love your vegetable/flower garden❤️

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you, Hilda 💗

[@jodyholland5912]

Everything looks fabulous ❤

[@kelleynrothaermel2311]

I would probably replace the lavender with something that will easily grow and maybe put some lavender in pots!

[@jendyson6729]

oh my gosh, I am in PA also and had a feeling you were pretty nearby. I just found your channel the other day and subscribed. Then I saw your grocery haul and I shop at the roadside 10 market too! I love that little store. Great produce and snacks. I enjoy your videos (I'm into gardening and house stuff too) maybe I'll see you at the store some time, I live in Honey Brook on a couple of acres~ raising chickens and hanging out with my grand kids. 😊

[@bpeters6704]

Gorgeous layout of ur garden and yes u have a bundle of gold there with the raspberries:) they r so costly in the store.. and don’t grow very well in our area

[@summer_girl2672]

Your farm is beautiful❤️ thank you for sharing

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you 😊

[@innaonu7924]

Your garden is a dream of mine! 😍 Well done!! I thought it was so interesting that you say "onion greens" instead of "green onions". I thought it was "green onions" I've never heard anyone say "onion greens" 😄

[@thisgoldenhour]

Haha, maybe I have it backwards? 😅

[@erikayutzy]

Your raspberry hedge intrigues me! Have you had it long or how long does it take to become established like that? I’d love to start one in my garden!

[@thisgoldenhour]

We were just talking about how much we love fresh raspberries at breakfast this morning 🥰 we transplanted seedlings from our old house two years ago!

[@tegangilchrist4550]

You have a beautiful house and gardens! 🥰 where did you get the sourdough pizza base recipe from? It looked delicious!

[@michelesusanne1]

Does the gravel run under the garden boxes? Is it there to help with drainage or just ease and more cleanliness tending to and getting the produce from the boxes? I want to try making the foccacia style pizza. Such a fun vlog🌷

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you 😘 the gravel does not run under the boxes (the soil continues down the bottom of each box). It’s just nice for walkways, and to keep weeds from growing as easily!

[@jeanhecker4533]

Do you have a place that has a more severe slope. More like a hillside? I’ve had the same issues with lavender and when I read that lavender thrives on the hillsides of the Mediterranean I thought. Yay, let’s move to the Mediterranean but my husband said no. So, we looked all over our property for an area where we could make a rock garden hill. Then I had to keep from fertilizing them. The lavender survived better but they still didn’t survive well. I’ve just gotten used to replacing them every few years. Good luck. You have a beautiful life and a beautiful family. You’re a lucky girl. 🙏🏻

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thanks for the advice! I can’t quite give up on growing lavender yet, so these tips are super helpful 💗

[@ozarkview928]

That pizza looked so delicious! I have one kale plant in my raised bed and didn’t know how to use it , I do not care for it raw ! So I’ll try it sautéed and on pizza also the onion greens ! Never heard of that ! Your garden space is beautiful I would have loved to actually go with you and help ! Gardening is a passion of mine ! And what a wonderful problem to have soul that is too good for lavender! I have lavender growing on each side of my front walkway . I made my own mix of soil for each plant it’s very well draining plus we have hot dry summers so it does really well ! I don’t have the soil recipe anymore but I’d google I’m sure you could find something.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thanks for the tips, I’ll have to look into the soil “recipe” 😉

[@ozarkview928]

@@thisgoldenhour I made pizza for supper because yours looked so good ! I tried the sautéed kale and onion tops plus some fresh basil . It was delicious 🤤

Wonderful interesting video thanks for sharing your life!!! Love love love dahlias and the Cafe Au Lait is my favorite. The Pizza looked so yummy 😁

Gorgeous garden. Can you tell me where you purchased the square tomato cages? Thanks.

[@thisgoldenhour]

They’re from a local Amish greenhouse! Sorry I don’t have a link 😏

[@Fingerlakesmetal]

Love your videos, was wondering if you used regular top soil for your garden boxes ??and what kind of mulch do you use???

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you! We use a mixture of top soil (majority), compost, and mushroom soil for the garden boxes. Our “mulch” is also mushroom soil.

[@Fingerlakesmetal]

Okay thanks and what kind of lavender is that in your garden

[@thisgoldenhour]

@@Fingerlakesmetal I believe it was “Provence” lavender!

[@michellejaggard9657]

How about pots for your lavender?

[@lorenburkholder32]

Love dahlias😍 what kind do u plant?

[@thisgoldenhour]

We have a variety of them but my favorite is still the café au lait dahlia 🥰

[@lisacousins6110]

How do you make that pizza dough? What’s the recipe for the dough?

[@michellejaggard9657]

Do you use composted manure from your cows on your garden?

[@paulahenderson2876]

Why don't you do pots with lavender I do that for my deck and it even comes back the next year. I have learn that lavender usually fade out about 5 years.

[@thisgoldenhour]

I was hoping for a continuous hedge, but might have to settle for something else 😅

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

Sometimes lavender it’s like that it depends on what kind to buy I’ve been growing lavender for years and it is hit and mess

[@thisgoldenhour]

We talked to a lavender farm and they said “Provence” (which is what we’re planted) is the worst kind to grow in our area 😅 so we might try again with a different one! Which one has worked best for you?

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

@@thisgoldenhour I just ordered some golden lavender from American Meadows I’m excited to see how this will do

[@kristyspanjer964]

What type of gravel did you use? I love it. Been looking to do that in front of my house.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you! We love it so much! It’s 3/8” beach pebble.

[@kristyspanjer964]

@@thisgoldenhour Thank you! I was just watching a WITL video of yours where you talk about your sinusitis (same here… struggled for quite some time with head/sinus & GI issues). The only way I felt remotely better was on antihistimines. 👎🏻, am I right? I just found a resouce that cites salycilate intolerance in those with mold toxicity &/or MCAS-histamine intolerance so I’ve tried limiting them in my diet. I still have some GI issues (likely due to concurrent SIBO issues) but finally I can go through a day without a plugged nose, (most of) my post nasal drip and gnawing sinus headache. Hope this may be of some help. I feel your pain. I also think you are great, BTW. Thanks for sharing your story.
