Doug and Stacy invited us for a homestead tour, and, of course, we spent almost al our time in the garden. This kitchen garden is filled with food growing in polyculture raised beds.

[@robinsouth8555]

Stacy needs to do more educational garden walk throughs, that was the best video!

[@agapefield]

I agree although with all she does in the garden & kitchen she's probably a pretty busy bee!

[@TerrieAllred2023]

I sure miss her and her garden videos!

[@margiematson781]

Yes, enjoyed this so much❤

[@lj8945]

Agreed!

[@LLT1963]

Omg. Yes!!!!

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Great seeing you and the whole family!

[@leomiranda-castro6908]

It was great to see all of you together and learning from each other. That's what it is all about!!

[@happygolucky2223]

Stacy, what is the variety name of blackberries and sweet potatoes you grow?

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

Love lemon balm

[@Mindy56743]

I love their channel. It was my gateway drug to homesteading!

[@oyenations162]

This was great!😊

[@zoeshorthouse7913]

I never knew that Rose of Sharon was edible. When we lived in Pennsylvania, I considered them an invasive plant. Great tour of Doug and Stacy's garden.

[@kmarshall53]

I just saw some this morning and told myself I didn’t like them, but Stacy just changed my mind! I live in PA.

[@88Ont]

You can make omelettes with rose of sharon leaves and flowers. They taste like leafy green, easy to grow and the flowers are beautiful.

[@johnliberty3647]

It’s so cool you got to check out Doug and Stacy’s garden/homestead. I love thorny varieties of whatever comes in thorns because certain pests leave them alone and humans don’t walk threw them. Great perimeter plants.

[@johnliberty3647]

Sweet, tell me about it when I see you in person at scrubfest 😜

[@agapefield]

This was so wonderful! Two of my favorite teachers!

[@edwena6297]

I SO AGREE!! 😊

[@pizzaguy3645]

So cool to see you visiting Doug and Stacy. Seriously two of my favorite channels on KZbin. I never miss a video from either of you. Much Love from Nikiski, Alaska.

[@jdoedoenet]

And big love from Australia...huge fan of both channels!

[@jodeemonckton1251]

@@jdoedoenetoh me too!! Love both of these families and their amazing gardens and knowledge. Awesome garden Stacey!! Love it from Australia too!!😉

[@KJPartyof6]

I adore Stacy!! She hasn't done any videos on her channel lately. (Doug 's been doing the filming) but can't wait to see some new ones from Stacy again! I love that you collaborated on this!

[@pamelag.4417]

That was a beautiful walk around the garden. Liked the tip on throw sowing. and getting beautiful plants instead of weeds. Thanks much love to all!❤

[@debrasfrugallife3703]

I feed rag weed to my chickens and rabbits. You can dry it out for winter like hay . Animal will eat or nest with it . Good for many things. Love the video guys 😁

[@Mphscat]

I'd love to hear about the painting of the chicken coop!!! Stacy has the best hair in the world. She needs to do an episode on that alone!

[@shirleypoplo-ej7lz]

Yes and a very nice figure! She is in very good shape!!

[@bgatlin5918]

Those arms!

[@pamelawilkins]

Amazing! I love to watch both Off Grid with Doug & Stacy n David The Good ! Two heads together usually better than one! We learn from each other! Thanks David !

[@user-ic2ug8ys1z]

+100 for Rachel the Good. You need to have her in your videos more. 😃🌱🐢

[@PlantObsessed]

Im in Illinois and the rose of Sharon is invasive. And now i know its edible. Awesome 👍🏼

[@KimTippin]

It is so awesome to see y'all together!! Our favorite people all in one video. God Bless you all!

[@vickiduggan7553]

Thai basil with blueberries in kombucha is amazing!

[@mgm2008]

Stacy, I hope you will do more videos on gardening and natural remedies! I definitely will get your book, too!!!!!!

[@jollyroger5646]

Stacey's garden's got it going on!😂

[@jesusmywholehaschanged]

I love Doug and Stacey!

[@johnliberty3647]

Me too

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Love yall back

[@thomasgriffin7864]

One of the fakest channels on KZbin, but glad you are entertained...

[@jesusmywholehaschanged]

@@thomasgriffin7864 I watch for practical advice, not entertainment. I'm glad you stopped by. 😘

[@martinmurphy9679]

What a wonderfully uplifting video. The joy of gardening and connecting with mother earth absolutely shone through from you guys. Beautiful 🙏

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

That’s awesome! How fun is that. Our Guinea made a nest in a wild garden patch but we didn’t have a rooster so it was so sad for her 😭 I would love to walk around that place. How cool.

[@tabp8448]

One time, when I was new to raising chickens (and had no roosters), I had a broody hen sit for 20 days, nothing I did could break her. So on the 21st day, I bought 6 chicks from Rural King and put them under her when the chickens were up for the night. She adopted them just fine (I was so sad for her that she couldn't hatch out her own, but also scared for her life if she sat much longer than 21 days). Next time, maybe you could source some guinea chicks. No brooder and no heat source needed, mama did all the work❣️ 🐔🐥🐤🐥🐤🐥🐤

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

@@tabp8448 great idea! I was afraid to put any of our guinea keets under her. The good thing was she came out and ate and drank everyday. We moved the eggs and she was fine.

[@tabp8448]

​​@@GoodTimesHomesteadI kept taking the eggs from under my hen... she moved from nesting box to nesting box, whichever one had the most eggs she would sit on 😂. And yes, keets (not chicks) for guinea....I learned something new today.😊

[@stacyc7415]

I love videos with Stacy! . 😊

[@singsongbluebird9704]

This was my favorite episode, I learned so much from it and plan to just do it like Stacy does. instead of stressing so much about how to and where to plants things. I try to never miss Doug'"s news updates that keeps us informed. They are critical.

[@vinagerie427]

Wonderful pairing! Educational, entertaining, & tons of Life-love. Thanks for sharing, David! :)

[@ejuran2661]

I think it’s great when y’all visit and share other homesteaders. I actually found out about you from one of Doug and Stacys videos. Love both of y’all’s channels, I’m learning so much from them. Thanks again for a great video. God bless you and the family.

[@davidthegood]

Thank you.

[@UnearthedPerspective]

Love this so much! Stacey’s garden is beautiful. Her and Doug’s knowledge is incredibly informative. I appreciate it very much.

[@tbone9194]

Awesome, I learned that I can use lemon balm as insect repellent, nice. I have also placed leaves of lemon balm on a fabric small sack and leave it in the car, it is a great scent in the vehicle, specially on hot days it just dehydrates on its own and the smell intensifies.

[@nancyswann3850]

Amazing video. Please do more like this to include how you prepare the herbs and flowers once you harvest. Stacy, great job!

[@debbieschmidt]

David you are the good! Thank you for sharing we need a world full people like you. We need all advice you can tell us. Thank you my friend. God Bless

[@mtkids3558]

Great find this channel, Thank you David, Doug and Stacy. Three against the world. Love you people, God bless.

[@mangopuppybaby]

Two of my favorite gardeners in one place ❤🎉❤

[@judyjewels1961]

Overload!! David, Doug and Stacy! Wow 😅

[@sandramcleod9619]

Love Doug and Stacy! Love the garden tour! Goals!

[@jhost0311]

David, have you ever read Grapes of Wrath as an adult? The daughters name is Rose of Sharon. Good book. I’d recommend listening to it instead of trying to read it. Lol

[@davidthegood]

Yes, though I forgot that

[@EkhoProductions]

My 2 favorite gardening channels together!! What a treat. Thank you!

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

What a great tour! I used to really love their channel! I wish they'd get back to more homesteading content. I quit watching when it turned into mostly rants or politics. Which is important don't get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. I learned so much from stacy in the early days of my venture into homesteading, I'm forever grateful for those older videos❤

[@amyrea4451]

My two FAVORITE garden families!! ❤

[@cherylambrose1392]

This is one of my favorite videos with two people I really enjoy! I'll enjoy watching this again

[@surplusdivision2461]

16:15 I love the body language in this. He knows she’s wrong but doesn’t want to correct her. So he steps backwards, like he’s trying to escape from the misinformation.

[@davidthegood]

I think she's talking about the flavor, not the actual species!

[@cathywco]

Good garden tour. Love the permaculture. I’m sure you got some of those zucchini seeds.😆

[@ellendavis9940]

Stacy do you rotate your garden beds each year?

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Yes

[@jlfoodforest]

Excellent talk, such a natural explanation of what's going on in her garden.

[@EarthsAnswers]

Oh my gosh all my favorite people in one place! Love it! ❤

[@johnshawngrubb4675]

Thank you for this tour with my favorite gardeners! You guys are so incredibly inspirational to us former city folks that decided to homeschool our eight kids and raise animals, but still haven’t mastered the gardening thing. 😆 David, I love your music and would like to feature my husband’s 🎶 MUSIC 🎵 on KZbin but what are you do about copyright?

[@davidthegood]

Thank you. Great work! I post my music and don't worry about the copyright.

[@Gkrissy]

I love the rose of sharon. They are all over my garden via wind pollination or birds.

[@grateful_sojourner]

Doug and Stacey the best! 💕

[@followerofchrist4064]

Always love any thing with Stacy. A storehouse of good knowledge. Many thanks!

[@lisareaume3857]

THE TOMATOES when cooked down for 2 days WON ME THE BLUE RIBBON AT OUR COUNTY FAIR THIS YEAR! PIZZA SAUCE LIKE IT SHOULD BE!

[@faithlilis]

If you dont know what Doug and Stacy are about YOU ARE TRULY TRULY MISSING OUT❤ THEY ARE A WISE COUPLE WHOM YOUD WISHED U KNEW IN PERSON, 2 BEAUTIFUL SOULS LOVE THEM AND APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO FOR US EVERY WEEK, INFORM US AND SHARE THEIR TIPS, JUST LOVE EM

[@BluegrassHomestead]

Very cool! Awesome video and isn't it fun to be there and walk the garden? It's so big and lush. She's doing the variety grow boxes similar to your wide open food forest landscape. Food forest boxes. Great seeing you at the conference!

[@tmd7859]

Love seeing the channels I watch from a different perspective!

[@johnliberty3647]

I love it too, it’s nice to see Doug and Stacy with out them having the burden of making a video. I loved when Mr The Good visited Danny and Wanda from Deep South Homestead when they were processing sugarcane.

[@MySuewho]

One of my favorite David the Good AND Doug and Stacy episodes!!!

I have tons of lemon balm and tried it because I am bug flavored. Tonight I grilled out no issue and hubby ran back in being eaten up. I didn't tell him yet

[@Lauraway2]

It is so fun to tour your garden. It is always fun to tour other peoples gardens.

[@reneecasey5719]

this was awesome to watch- I've watched them for a couple years too---UNITY is the best

[@coreyshine6720]

My chickens eat all the fallen flowers from my Rose of Sharon

[@manjawarner3162]

Tulsi is amazing. Grows like a weed in Central Florida. Pollinators love it. Very good medicine. (Look into it. Everyone should have some growing.) Delicious tea. I eat it every which way. Good stuff! 👍

[@tracycrider7778]

What type of tulsi?

[@Happy2Run4Me]

Such a fun garden tour! Thank you! FYI Stacy is the one that taught me about the zucchini Rampicante and wow it’s a wonderful squash! I grow it every year now! I got one this year that could be worn as a necklace. Next year I’m going to try to train them to grow over an archway with my luffa gourds. 😊 They’ll be super easy to harvest then. 👍🏻

[@k.p.1139]

I didn't know about lemon bam and skeeters. OH boy am I going to grow that stuff! They are horrible this year.

[@MountainwithaView]

I'm in western Massachusetts & it's been monsoon season since late June... everything is rotting or growing mold... tomatoes are still struggling to ripen...no sun for the past 6 weeks.... I've never experienced such oppressive humidity with such rain & lack of sun... terrible summer

[@jcrockett870]

Goldenrod is bee food.

[@johndyer9232]

Giant Ragweed is great for the compost too.

[@whosoever316]

Lots of nice herbs & flowers. Noticed a high tunnel in the background, what do they have growing in there?

[@amwmni]

What a great tour of your flourishing garden!

[@deborahhunt7448]

Great garden tour with Stacy! I really enjoyed this so much! 😊

Oh good another channel to watch ,First time here, ,and I watch Doug and stacey too ,Have a blessed day ,mary from Florida

[@floridagirl8540]

What a surprise to see Doug and Stacy!! I’m a new sub to your channel.we live in FL but just bought 14 acres up in NE AL and your mushroom chanterelles is what got me started

[@davidthegood]

Welcome!

[@timyates807]

I like to watch Doug and Stacey. Doug's been hitting the issues HARD this year . Love watching you both. Learned lots from both of yous. David you are my favorite gardener hands down but Stacey knows her way around herbs which has been my focus the last year and it's insane how quickly the dividends have paid back helping all the people I know who are having health issues now with pollution and glyphosate because we live around orchard country in Quebec Canada here..well pollution is awfully common due to runoff ect .the apples do make awesome liquor tho lol. Lots of uses once it's stilled into its own medicine lol. Thanks and take care my friend

[@fabricdragon]

i had NO idea a Rose of Sharon was edible!

[@Remedi88]

Love Doug and Stacy 😊❤

[@louannhuber2651]

Had no idea you can eat rose of Sharon flowers. I’ll try them next time I see one in bloom at a nursery.

[@littlegreen5845]

I heard ragweed seed is a high wild forage for poultry particularly quail. Any truth or benefit to that? Or are the risks of reseeding too great?

[@aliciavalentyn5889]

Love our Holy 🌿 Basil

[@tammyhill954]

I'll be seeing Doug and Stacy in May at the Spring Festival! Can't wait 😊

Please can you tell us how you care for Rose of Sharon? Also how do you make Marigold tea?
