Starting Our First HUGE Garden! 5000+ Sq. Ft. Farm Garden

[@wenzworld]

Seeing your little ones involved warms my heart! They will always have that connection to the earth, their food, and to you.❤️

[@charlotted6247]

I have to ask, Is there anything you all can't do? You have such an amazing life and wonderful family. You are so blessed!! I love watching the videos.

[@Teak1111]

We love to grow potatoes. So easy and the kiddos love to help dig them up.

[@joanncleroux8747]

Great garden. 🇨🇦

[@cynthiakelly202]

We straw bale garden so we don't have to weed😁 favorite thing to plant is sun sugar cherry tomatoes, they usually don't make it to the house.the grandkids just love them too

[@deborahmillerrobinson3746]

So good to watch how your kids are included in everything you do....

[@MultiAbiram]

Because eggs have protein in them and helps them grow !!! Wow kid!! I wish I am as smart as you are at that age ! Good job keep helping your mommy and daddy ( please convey him )

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

He loved your compliment! Thank you :)

[@ginacota9724]

I just love that you and the kids garden in your bare feet! I always do my gardening and yardwork in bare feet also. Grew up running around with no shoes on outside and just love feeling the earths energy come up through my feet 😁

[@donnakkasper6634]

Gina Cota best immunity anyone can get...being in the garden in the dirt...

[@sheilamashburn1795]

Beautiful beautiful.

[@edwinfickel9039]

My wife and really enjoy your channel. Thanks from Brazil!

[@chrisiiams4303]

You all work so hard you have a beautiful family I can’t wait to see when the garden grows. Love you guys

[@maggiesue4825]

Nothing like letting your children dive into good, clean dirt. Boosts the immune sustem!

[@janetwalker3541]

Your garden is coming along nicely. When I was young and lived in a small town, my parents had a big garden at the back of our house, we kids(6 of us) helped with the planting and picking. My favourites were the peas and raspberry bushes! But I did enjoy all of the other vegetables as they tasted so good fresh from the garden. I miss this (although at my age I don't miss all the work of preparing the garden!) I'm in a small condo so I only grow herbs, tried tomatoes and they didn't do well. I just wish our farmers market could reopen to get fresh veggies, fruit and eggs and meat! .. Love watching your son so involved with helping in the garden - so cute!😀☀️🧤🦆🐐🍅🥒🥕🌽🍓🌶️

[@donnakkasper6634]

Oh my goodness. When I saw you put a shovel in the ground and dig a hole I wanted to cry. Do you know how blessed you are to have actual dirt? In Tennessee we can’t put a shovel in the ground...it’s hard as a rock...we have clay. I seriously cried when he dug Howe with his hands...I had dirt envy for sure. Love watching your endeavors...I also loved those green bowls that are in the garage on the cabinets. If you want to sell them let me know. What a blessing for your family to do this while you are so young.

[@sparklepea]

Me too! I went through the comments looking for such a response as I was so jealous of the soil and the ease of digging a bed just wow 😕

[@sandybuchanan3479]

I really enjoy your channel. I like watching your son work almost as hard as you do. He is so sweet to help you out. Good job on the garden it's going to be beautiful and can't wait to see it when you harvest it.

[@michelearbuckle8234]

Love your green house. Love all your videos. You all are just awesome 😊 I just recently purchased snap dragons, petunias, red geranium's. And my peony just bloomed for the first time. We transplanted it from our last place. Keep up the great work. ♥️ Stay safe.

[@debbieomi]

I'm with you, Jor, that tomato juice is the best part. I remember grabbing one off the vine, running it under the hose then enjoying every juicy bite. My gma gardened until she was 97. Even then, she still had a quarter acre and Grandpa had been gone well over a decade. When her kids were at home and even several years past that, she tended an acre. That was without corn. Grandpa grew feed corn so that and the sweet corn were his responsibility. I had moved away and never did more than a couple containers with tomatoes. Those have been my one constant. When I moved back, I loved heading out to the farm to help pulling weeds and pulling stories from gma. She was never much of a talker. Weeding is more fun when you can talk with someone else. The farm that started out as my great grandparents' homestead now belongs to an uncle and aunt who will never live there. They've been missionaries in Portugal for close to 40 years. It is their home. Both will be 70 soon and there are no signs of retiring. Anyway, the ladies missionary group from gma's church took over her garden the year she had to go to the Eden House (long term care) and they continue to garden that space five years past her death. They sell the produce at a couple farmers markets and all the money then goes to help support the church's missionaries. Pretty slick set up they've got going. Usually a lady or two bakes bread or sweets each week to add to their profit. All those ladies are getting older and church membership is dwindling so I'm sure the days of gma's garden are numbered. Kind of hard to think of the first year, in over a century, of no garden there. I don't talk to my uncles, either the one who owns the farm or the one who lives just down the road but maybe I should and maybe they would allow a community garden to use the space. I know a young lady looking for that opportunity. I know she would love to work along side the ladies doing it now. hmmm The wheels are a turning. Sorry for rhe novel. lol Your channel seems to bring up all those old memories. 😀🍅🍉🍆🌽

[@oneofmany7051]

You should absolutely find as way to keep that garden going! Sounds as good a reason as any to make contact with relatives. 😊 You never know, maybe your aunt and uncle whom are missionaries would be happy to know someone in the family shows interest in the place. I think that would be a worthwhile conversation! I will pray it all works out for you and the garden! ❤

[@surrenderbend6828]

🌲I hope you don’t mind a suggestion. Living Traditions Homestead has done a garden that is “safe”weed free . As busy as y’all are it looks like a great idea . Homesteading Family is a great family from Idaho and they are a great channel for down to earth people she does a lot of canning and medicinal projects🌲🎚

[@mcpheejesus5945]

Great job, each and every one of you, even the kids; they both are so adorable! I grew up around farm animals and gardens, as my maternal grandma & my parents had them. Grandma's gone to heaven now, but my parents still have their garden; got rid of the chickens & roosters as they aged (too much work). I personally have farm animals in my country farmhouse themed home in the form of pics, plaques, and figurines. I especially love roosters and have my kitchen filled with them. I do grow all sorts of flowers & plants (a few herbs), though. You guys are amazing! Can't wait for you all to finish renovating the farmhouse.

[@paulajones9956]

I love your garden and greenhouse

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Fresh vegetables from your garden to the table?!? Fantastic!! Add a beautiful bouquet of flowers too!!!

[@SilverGoth]

I have half of a horse trough on the roof of my building, in which I plant cherry tomatoes and lettuce for salads!

[@daliam.rodriguez7572]

Guys,I need to see more progress,take care😘

[@gardengal26]

Looking forward to seeing what your garden does! I have some new raised beds and I've planted a lot of different tomatoes, a yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. 😊

[@southwestsider4352]

[@jillthomas4926]

We live in town, so our garden is pretty small compared to yours! Lol but my favorite thing to grow is tomatoes! I LOVE tomatoes!! 😊

[@monetahuff3052]

Fresh beans and tomatoes are two of my favorites but really all of the fresh veggies are so good

[@wendy833]

Grandma was sweet giving you the corn! Yummy! I like to plant the basics, tomato, lettuce, peas, carrots, strawberries.

[@genjoce]

You just got me even more exited about planting mine this week! It’s that time of year everything needs to be done all at the same time! My favourite thing to grow is probably cucumbers but I love it all started to grow more cut flowers last year and oh my love them!

[@lydiatrujillo6859]

Here in California we try to grow a little of everything Enjoying the sunshine 🌞

[@kathyusa-iowa5137]

I hope your kitchen is ready for canning by harvest time. 🙂👍

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

Can't wait! 🙂

[@cindyfleer2248]

I just started a garden for the first time

[@danielayres5926]

We also love to garden, and growing green beans are my favorite!

[@gardentrains22]

Love to grow pumpkins more pumpkins and a few dahlias. So great to see the kids involved. Have fun! 8-)

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

Pumpkins or "pumpalumps" as the kids call them, are definitely one of our favorites and I love dahlias too! :) Thanks David!

[@shellydehart8217]

Love watching u guys n the children getting evolved in planting ur garden. I do hope everything u have planted grows tall n strong. It looks like u have nice rich soil. I don’t grow vegetables ( husband does like veggies n he can’t eat any green ones either) I love em mostly all kinds but would be a waste for me pant veggies if I’m the only one eating it. So I plant flowers. Love my flowers. Of course I’m Florida there’s only certain flowers u can grow here that the heat n humidity won’t hurt. I love planting echinacea (purple come flower) but I don’t have much luck with the seeds. So I but the plant. I’ve also tried planting Hollyhocks It only happen one time by seeds. Every year I try with no luck. So I gave up. Wishing all of my best. Have a great Sunday even tho it’s a little wet in ur state. ♥️😊👍

[@trenaoquinn753]

Love watching your channel ❤️

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

Thank you so much Trena! 💗

[@michellemarzwick9768]

😀 looks like fun . I planted flowers in my back yard and the moles ate them 😮. So I got more and put them into pots 😊 I love that I can ask you for advice. 💖

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

Ohhh no! Those darn moles 😱 Good idea putting them into pots!

[@be6388]

what's about an apple tree in Washington ? .. or other fruit trees..

[@heatheryoung9949]

It has rained so much here in Kentucky we haven’t put out anything.

[@wendyvance9761]

I love seeing your progress! Just curious: will you direct seed any veggies?

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]

Thanks Wendy! Yes, we have sown a lot of things like radishes, beets, beans, and lettuce directly :)

[@milda0820]

[@itssaragh]

Can I borrow your goats? I have blackberries, wisteria and cleavers a mile high lol

[@LavenderFirFarmstead]
