Fall vegetable gardening in our raised bed garden. We’ll check in on the raised beds and see which plants were and were not affected by frost damage. So far, our cool weather crops like the brassicas were are doing fine and we are still expecting to harvest from them. Fall harvesting is a big component of our food supply here on the homestead. And with homesteading, cooking and canning our own food is important to us. Let’s take a look at our fall vegetables and see how they are doing.

Thanks for the great video! I live in AZ and thought I had plenty of time for my urban backyard garden to bless me with some fruits and veggies before it got too cold. Low and behold it hailed here yesterday afternoon…earlier in the day it was almost 90 degrees with a zero percent chance of rain. I almost cried thinking of everything that the hail would destroy and did my best to throw ez ups and whatever I could over my garden. I lost a few things, but am grateful that most everything survived (even better than the ez ups). There are things we can control in life, and there's things we can't, but moving forward is what is important! Your positive outlook is inspiring! Also… Tina is a ray of sunshine; she truly is. Although her having a fear or being camera shy (whatever the case is) is tough for her, I appreciate you sharing that part of your lives. My husband has been wanting me to start a channel, and my fear of cameras in general is so huge that I only have a few pictures of me with my children, husband, and family. This brought hope for me to get past that. You sharing this story, and being so genuine, is a blessing to me. Thank you.
Sorry about your loss I’ve gone through a surprise frost more than once. I recently lost my whole harvest and an apple tree to high heat this summer 116* 😱
I have a few question: how do you get your meat? Do you hunt /raise or do you have to buy?
How hard is it to farm/homestead with disabilities?
Any advice for a fellow disabled person wanting to homestead?
Love seeing Ms Tina!!! Sorry about the peppers etc.
We had a pretty hard freeze & a bit of flittering of snow a couple weeks back but yea I'm always watching weather but its easy for it to slip by.
I've also been very sick for past few weeks so seems all the work gets behind but we persevere.
My overall health is not good at all but its something I've fought now most of my adult life sadly.
We do tend to overcome & adapt though.
Hey Mrs T 🙋🙋🙋 y'all take care
I liked your old videos without the audio narrative, but they're even better now. Your gardens are huge and beautiful and abundant. I thought you must have been feeding half the locals, but I get the 2190 meals thing. I always thought I was getting a big percent (maybe half) of my vegetables per year from my 5 raised beds and various containers, but I'm not so sure now.
I'd love to see you guys do a Q&A. Yes, why do you mostly just do the camera work? Where does Tina get all that energy? What made you fall in love? Was it love at first sight, or were there hurdles? How'd you end up in your location? What are the pluses and minuses of your location? How long have you had your homestead and what made you choose it? Is the land naturally fertile there? Good neighbors or not? Thanksgiving is usually at your place? Besides the chickens, does the homestead provide an income? I'll probably think of some more later. Thanks.
Hope you are feeling better soon. Give Miss T a hug from us, love you guys!
Mark and Tina, I hope folks dont get to personal. Backflashes can be really ruff. Tina is so cute and crazy im glad her personality is coming threw. Cover those plants.👍 Bummed on those peppers. Have a good weekend.
Hey Mark I love you man, but Tina is nicer to look at 😉 I guess a lot of people like live streams, but I'm not one of them. Have a great day. Best wishes Bob.
You guys had such a beautiful garden. Most people use wood for their raised beds what made you decide to use the tin. They look new, have you had them long and how do you like them.
Tina, you are a treat! Keep sneaking in and you’ll maybe get used to it and like it more and more being on camera. Sorry about your peppers, guys.
Good advice about having a short memory with gardening. Just have to move on
I love seeing Tina in the videos! She is so cute and sweet 😊
I would love to know how you schedule/plan all your homesteading activities. I always feel like I'm 57 steps behind. And there's always something that pops up that needs doing before I can get to my list.
Do what you gotta do for you. We love you guys. We’ll be here! God Bless ~Lisa
I was wondering what state you live in? I live in Ohio and I'm new to your channel. Thanks
Y'all two are just awesome would love to see y'all live on the YT question on your cabbage plant what's the name of them and what potting soil do u use and the question I have for Q&A what is y'alls favorite meal from drink to dessert blessings
Love watching your videos! Tina is such a beautiful soul, we love seeing her in the videos!! My question would be what is your favorite plant/food to grow and how do you prepare your favorite dish with that item?
Sorry that you lost your peppers!
Sure sorry your pepper plants took such a hit. Perhaps some can recover. Not too long ago, some channels did a ‘30 Facts About Us’ challenge/collaboration. Might be fun to get some of your favorite channels that haven’t already done one to join you in a new one. My questions to you would be: 1. What do you see down the road for growing your homestead and your future. 2. What is your next big project? 3. Would you ever want a greenhouse on your homestead? In other words, dream a little dream with us.
Tiny has such a cheeky smile 😉
Gardening is do what you can when you can.
I’m so glad Tina is starting to come feel more comfortable on camera. I live it when you do videos together. I’d love to see a video of yours and Tina’s story starting at the beginning when you two met.
I want to try the raise beds
😢 I’m so glad you said to be sad for just a second and move on , because this being my fist year I’ve had some losses and many victories … Now I won’t worry, just learn from them !!! Great video !
I love how you said, things happen in the garden and we just have to move on! I love seeing Tina, she is gorgeous and has a lovely soul! Yes I would love a video that lets us know more about you guys! Like what place do u guys dream of visiting ? Has anyone recognized you in your town from being on YouTube? If you could give new gardener advice, what would be the best advice of what NOT to do? …love you guys , big hugs to ya both 🤗
First off, Thank you for your dedicated service to us and this country!!! I understand the physical limitations are very frustrating
and tell Tina we enjoy seeing both of you!!
Just came by your channel after a shout out by Dutch on his channel! Wanted to ask what these ground cherries are you showed here and what they're good for?🤔
The broccoli looks good!
I am glad to see Tina get more involved. We are just starting out on our channel and my wife, Darlene, doesn’t want to be on very much either. we
Doesn't driving over the garden with the tractor compact the soil? I've always been told not to even walk on the soil for fear of packing it down
We love Tina!!!
Don't be shy, you are both amazing people. Keep up the awesome job. Love the videos.
Tina is such a cutie! You guys are so cute together. I love your gardening videos. I have learned so so much. Why do you all used the galvanised metal for the beds? Is there a reason or do you just like the look?
I was wondering about the raised bed sizes and how many broccoli and cauliflower plants you raise in them? I want to do this with mine this year. Thank you
Get well soon Mark 🤗
