[@shastadaisy8794]

" you have never visited the south"?" Well you have been deprived " . I love his southern charm 😊 I'm from TN and I love the South and the ppl! Beautiful place ❤️

[@ssamorgan2044]

Thanks for sharing. I love P. Allen Smith. He's such a gentleman.

[@CaliKim29]

Yes, indeed he is. We were honored to meet him and to learn more about how he is encouraging people to grow their own food. Thanks for stopping by for the tour!

[@DesignYourLifewithTerryWhite]

Always fun to see what P. Allen Smith is up to!

[@50shadesofgreen]

your a very lucky bunch of people to get to meet such a fantastic bloke !! thanks for sharing and happy gardening !!

[@flowerpower3618]

Wow what a dream come true. I’d love to live somewhere that gets rain.

[@queenbeeetta]

how great to be with P Allen Smith. I know his gardens are divine..beautiful in every way. I love watching all his videos so I couldn't image being there in real life..what a treat.

[@CaliKim29]

Etta, I felt like I was in heaven for a few days. Thanks for sharing in our excitement and hopefully you were inspired to take action by adding something to your garden, or sharing it with others!

[@angelaperkins662]

We visited and toured Moss Mountain about five years ago.We visited in September and it is just as beautiful in the fall! Allen signed his books for us and of course we got a picture together. He was filming for his show,Guess what? We are in the ending of that show,lol ! Fun times!

[@jenniferprescott8655]

I love my chickens kim and the fresh eggs are amazing..free range is something I do but have wire fencing around all beds and a fence around one garden area because...my bok boks tear up and eat all greens..most all yard areas..Chickens love dirt baths they dig up an area then wallow in it. This can be challenging. Compost must be protected as well. Sooo worth it for the eggs. They take up very little space coopwise. little known fact about the eggs, they have a natural coating on them which allows for them to be outside for days without going bad, no refridgeration needed. They put themsels to bed at dusk, I just shut the gate. Love everything you do. You are such an inspiration

[@wildchookMaryP]

Its breathtaking....lovely place. I watch P Allen Smith's videos and I love his garden.

[@arindamathaley6004]

I have no words Kim, it was so beautiful, thank you very much for sharing this experience with us

[@dawnrobbins5877]

"Such a deprived life"!!!! I think he just invited you to move south! Thanks for sharing, Kim, you're fantastic!

[@J_Chosen]

Beautiful farm! Born and raise in an urban environment, but I dream of living like that: acreage, gardens, beautiful porch & a scenic view- ahh! Gotta visit this place!

[@CaliKim29]

Our visit to Moss Mountain Farm was definitely a highlight of 2017 for us. Hope u are able to go sometime!

[@marypolk9820]

Beautiful.... everything so beautiful

[@CaliKim29]

Thank you so much 😊

[@mimizabela6120]

Wow Kim how exciting for you. I can't believe you got to meet P. Allen Smith, so cool. And the farm is amazing!! I so hope the world would go back to a simpler life like that. We can all do our part. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Great work camera guy!. Mimi

[@CaliKim29]

Mimi, I love how you said we can all do our part - that is what it is all about. Taking just one action step makes a difference. Glad you enjoyed the video and for your kind words - will pass along to CG. :)

[@jonlehman2812]

Beautiful Kim, thanks for sharing your visit!

[@luckychicav7981]

I loved it! I hope you got to go to his rose garden. I followed him for a long time and he had an amazing rose garden that took years to plan, and plant. Thank you both.

[@iwant.a.pepper]

Amazing Kim and CG!!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip out there! It's amazing how, just through this video, I feel at peace so I can imagine actually being there! Thanks again both of you and lots of love from Bajá :)

[@gravewalker1632]

Thanks Kim great tour and P.Allen for sharing your home with us... an inspiration to all. Wonderful !!

[@CaliKim29]

Glad you enjoyed it- it was so beautiful...are you growing anything right now???

[@gravewalker1632]

I'm in central Texas. I'm cleaning out my veg gardens and will be planting this week (3rd week March) just the things I like to eat. Maybe get the vineyard, about 300 ft, started AGAIN! No wine, just vine fruits. Insects-grasshoppers killed it off last time. Replant a few fruit trees in the orchard area as I can afford. No flowers for now, may look at that later, but certainly could use some color all around. I'm limited to rain and water catchment. Challenging at times, but, I'm looking forward to a good year with the garden and other projects. Take care...

[@LegumesEtFleurs]

What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing Miss Kim.

[@CaliKim29]

My pleasure! We were so inspired and honored to be invited, and wanted to share our inspiration with you. Thanks much for watching!

[@AsintheDaysofNoah]

What a fun trip! Woo Hoo!

[@CaliKim29]

It was a blast - glad you enjoyed it too! Thanks for watching!

[@jimbattaglia8317]

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Jim - glad you enjoyed the video, we so enjoyed seeing the gardens and learning more about his mission. Thanks for watching!

[@jackiehorsley9263]

osem video Kim that is so neat that you got to take a trip to Arkansas to go visit P Allen Smith's farm he is my biggest fan I love to watch his shows anyway I hope you had a great time

[@janelle.l2953]

wow that was absolutely gorgeous and so amazing. my mind is just bursting with ideas and projects to do now. It really is inspiring! Thank you for sharing this with Kim, I'm sure you had an amazing time. 😊🌷🌱

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Janelle - glad to share the garden inspo - it's all about taking action - even just a small step makes a difference. Keep me posted on your ideas, can't wait to hear how they turn out! Thanks for watching!

[@brenyp2545]

I have to say that Camera Guy really did a fantastic job of filming this! great video guys

[@tara_a_santiago]

WOW Kim what a great experience, what a lovely peaceful place. Jerry the camera work was Grade A killer!!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Tara - it was such an inspiration to be there, to meet Allen, and see the work he is doing to promote growing your own food. Glad you enjoyed the camera work, will pass this along to Jerry. Thanks for sharing our experience with us!

[@tara_a_santiago]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY Kim quite honestly if it wasn't for you we wouldn't even have a garden, so you drawing inspiration from Allen and sharing it with us, is a win win. In year 4 we have grown and expanded so much thanks to the knowledge you share 😘

[@CaliKim29]

So happy to be an inspiration and to share, Tara! I'm so happy that you are a part of this community, I draw motivation and energy from you as well. Isn't growing your own food so much more that what you eat - it's about the experience and connecting with people too!

[@nearysamai2231]

I love watching P. Allen shows.

[@CaliKim29]

Me too Lang- it was such an honor to be invited there and absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for watching!!

[@ressa319]

Kim, so glad you made it to the south! Hope you will come back!

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Theresa - we will be back - lovely country there in the south! Thanks for watching!

[@SentimentalDisney33]

His property is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing this footage Kim :)

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

thanks for taking us along =)

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Doug and Stacey - you are welcome - it was an inspiration being there and seeing the wonderful work P. Allen Smith is doing at Moss Mountain Farm to educate and inspire others. Thanks for joining me for the tour!

[@Celestes_Nest]

How stunning!!! I'm so inspired right now to do my breezeways! Thank you for sharing.

[@pamjones6465]

Amazing! The place is exquisite! I would love to just on the front porch with a cool drink. Thank you Kim for taking us on this visit. A truely magnificent place. :)

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Pam, that porch just invites you to relax on it - doesn't it? Glad you enjoyed the tour, thanks for joining me!

[@orlandogreengirl3053]

It was fun to watch the building of this house. I remember it was about 10 years ago.

[@CaliKim29]

How fun that you watched it as it was being built! I'm amazed that although it is only 10 years old it looks like it was built a century ago. Thanks joining us on the tour!

[@BenjasUberHobby]

That view! That looks so beautiful!!! :) Thanks for sharing :)

[@houstonmartinez9104]

Loved all of those boxwood hedges

[@gardengal4444]

Wow what a great experience. Thanks for sharing.

[@pinayinpa142]

Awesome video,I've been watching your videos for a quite awhile now and I've learned a lot. Thank you and keep it coming.

[@julieschossow9315]

Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing your trip Kim. If you need any chicken tips give me a holler. We just built a small barn.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Julie - I just might take u up on that! My 21 year old daughter said she would do chickens with me - so if I can just talk CG into it, we are set!

[@julieschossow9315]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY I learned most from Appalachias Homestead with Patara on YT. She's definitely the Chicken Lady Whisperer. 😉🐔She has about 80 chickens!!!

[@tracyvirgillo]

Amazing! Last year, I made my first outdoor garden and this year, I've been working on herbs. In the next couple of years, I really want to have chickens! Loved this video.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Tracey - so awesome that you are growing a garden and have added herbs this year. I love expanding and growing something new each year too. Next year - we both do chickens! Thanks for watching!

[@NikiPalomino]

Thank you so much for producing these videos!!!

[@andrewottaviani1406]

What an amazing house! it's so big and the garden looks neat.

[@brenyp2545]

so beautiful! I miss Arkansas so much!

[@Sofiarivassculptor]

I love Him and his videos, i wished i Was there. He knows how to live life

[@jennifertaylor6026]

What a beautiful place! I definitely wouldn't mind the outdoor porch with the beds and bath. Looks like something out of a magazine or game. Beautiful big oak tree, especially when lit at nights with those lights! The watering system is cool but I feel like it would be too complex for me to run, would take some time to learn for sure. I would absolutely love a big wooden/stone house like that with all that beautiful scenery with lots of woods around it with a river. I bet you two had a blast there!

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Jimhl - The outdoor sleeping porch was my fav too - would be a wonderful end to the day, wouldn't it? It was a joy for us to be there and experience the beauty and bounty of the farm! As far as the watering system, always fun to learn new things, but it's also great to do what works for you and the space that you have. You're doing a fine job! Thanks for watching!

[@colleenwnek3404]

I had no idea P. Allen Smith gardens were open to visitors! Well, now I need to get to the South!

[@wi54725]

Kim, I hear you on your love for woods, as I have heard this from so many of the former Californians that have found a new home in Nashville. We live out in the suburbs and have 12 acres of woods at the top of our backyard. There is a semi-secret nature trail that meanders for 2/3 of a mile in a somewhat circuitous route. These woods are full of wildlife, including deer, raccoons, possum, squirrels, birds, chipmunks, a wayward bobcat, nomadic coyotes, a couple of beautiful barred owls (one of whom has decided he/she likes human companionship and has taken up residence in our yard), possibly one armadillo, but most importantly--snakes. That is the trouble with Southern woods. We have timber rattlesnakes and copperheads in addition to numerous nonvenomous snakes, including a rat snake that looked more like a python it was so big. Overall, the worst problems about living in the wooded South are chiggers and ticks. If you walk on the trail unadorned in preventive measures, you will exit the woods covered in ticks and itching from chiggers. Lemon eucalyptus and other organic essential oils are effective but not 100% effective, so there are numerous liabilities to having woods like the one's you saw on your trip to Arkansas. I guess it is a case of the grass is always greener, but I would love to live in a western US desert with red rocks, cactus, and yucca that spreads out for miles and miles, and having almost no allergy issues, plus a growing season that is close to 365 days a year.

[@everythingsunflowersandmor2631]

What an amazing video!!! Your hosting and CG's camera angles we delightful!!! What a beautiful,peaceful, regenerative Farm!! Next year I've already cleared my calendar to go with you guys!! I will be CG's grip and your personal assistant ❤️😜😘🌻🌻🌻

[@tsav6952]

Arkansas is a beautiful state. I rode my motorcycle from the bottom of the state to the top.

[@CaliKim29]

It IS gorgeous, bet it's fun to see on a bike! Thanks for watching!

[@tsav6952]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY It was and so was your state. Rode the Joshua Tree area then up through the Sierra Nevada mountains. Long ride from Florida and saw many other places along the way, but worth it! You have a great channel,l just recently came across it, so getting caught up. ;)

[@donraulshouse4730]

What a nice place! He mentioned polinators, did you see any bees or humming birds?

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Pritu - thanks so much for you kind words. It was an amazing experience to be there at Moss Mountain Farm and see all the good they are doing there to educate people on how to grow their own food. Appreciate you watching the tour!

[@pritusharma11111]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY always appreciate ur works dear

[@houstonmartinez9104]

Kim you need to do some flowers gardens go look at garden answer KZbin channel she is amazing.

[@ernestinegales1353]

How can i get my fruit trees ready for the fall and winter, is there any thing i need to put down around the trunk, so i want have worm in my apply and peach trees plum tree and muscadine grapes. And pear tree, i want to have a health grove in my fruit trees.

[@udanbug]

I couldn't get over that tree in the front. It's bigger than the mansion behind it. Do you know what variety it is?

[@ressa319]

It looks like a live oak. They can live over 100 years here in the south. I have tons of them sprouting from acorns in some leaves that I'm composting. They are out of control lol!!

[@CaliKim29]

I'm not sure what variety - it's over 300 years old and even more amazing in person, mammoth and awe-inspiring! Thanks for stopping by for tour!

[@silverpoof]

Thanks Kim. Did you get to meet P. Allen Smith's partner ?

[@pritusharma11111]

beautifullllll

[@CaliKim29]

So glad you enjoyed it, Pritu!

[@wiesbadengera1]

Add some concrete sitting benches on that path, and ya got..perfect

[@chpdlvr]

do you know of any fruits/vegetables that would come back year after year that would be good to eat?

[@liviamartin3641]

Chad Lutrell My lettuces re seed themselves, also strawberries and asparagus are perennial. You can over winter peppers if you live in a warm climate. I'd google your hardiness zone + perennial vegetables/fruits to see what grows in your area year after year. Also, fruit trees and berry bushes(blackberrries, blueberries, etc.) are yearly harvests.

[@kenjoneslee]

Tim Cook(Apple) and Allen Smith talk alike....dead ringers. They really should get their acts together.

[@mp-ec2vu]

I want to join with you and make a new garden in my home I don't know how to make a garden new

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Rana, growing your own food is such an amazing experience! You will find lots of helpful info on how to get started in my $10 Garden Series for new gardeners, kzbin.info/aero/PLH4z_9MDD00LwaHqKScmfgJYpNfAYrimj. Let me know how it goes for you! Thanks so much for watching!

[@ayadalnagar9767]

P Allen smith has disappeared from KZbin he Hasn't posted for a long time

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Ayad - sounds like you are a fan! He actually does have some fairly recent videos and has an extensive video library on his YT channel, including many of his TV shows, kzbin.info. Be sure to check out his website too, some great resources there as well, pallensmith.com. Thanks for watching!

[@MilkAndHoneyAcreage]

Didn't look very convincing eating that flower lol

[@coolr9251]

Did you know a strawberry flower is a edible flower 😂 get it

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Ronzell, yes, they are edible, but I love to wait for the fruit! Do you grow strawberries? Edible flowers, like nasturtiums, are a fabulous addition to the garden. Thanks for watching!

[@coolr9251]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY yes I do grow strawberries but the leaves keep curling up
