Love it. Full of inspiration and ideas to take to my own garden now. Thankyou for sharing Shae.
Loved the Video! I so much Loved the music in it – Shaye would you Share the Name of the Song / musician with us?
Wow! Your garden is beautiful 😍 I grow in containers on my balcony with very limited space, can’t wait for a huge garden like yours one day! 🌱😊
Seeing a full garden makes my heart sing! Those cabbages! Thanks for sharing!
This garden is so alive!!
Loved this – thanks so much!
Morning Glory is my nemesis as well.
When growing vertically, I've used old pantyhose to support my squash or melons when they get heavy on the vine. I've heard of people using bras too but… 🤣 Whatever suits you.
Cheers from Eastern Washington!
Morning glory is just awful 😣 It grows fast and is relentless. I wouldn’t wish that stuff on my worse enemy
The garden looks beautiful!
Oh so Beautiful, the hard work shows💪👍🌞💦.
Thank you for the Tour❤.
Happy 4th of July Weekend 🎉🏖🎊💥🇺🇲.

The vegetable garden is looking amazing! The squash tunnel is such a great idea!
The garden is beautiful! I am curious about the size of your farm and how you manage to make space for everything; I thought I remembered you saying it was just 2 acres. How are you able to maintain a herd of sheep, a dairy cow, chickens, and multiple gardens? I hope this question doesn’t sound critical. I’m genuinely curious as we’ve been discussing moving to a larger property and I’m wondering how much we actually need. We have 1.5 acres now but I can imagine supporting large livestock AND having a market garden here. How do you do it?
It's a good thing the goat doesn't get itchy from the poison ivy! I'd love to have fresh veggies every day like that!
yummy idea for all the coriander seed you are about to have. Chop celery, add coriander seed, make a sweet fridge pickle brine, 50% water, 50 % ACV, dash of maple syrup, bit of salt, and put it in the fridge for a week or two. SO GOOD on chop salads!
Your garden is beautiful – such an inspiration. You said you do a no-til garden – how do you decide that? I’m just curious how you know if you should til the soil or if topping it is better…versus if you should do raised beds? I’m so confused by the different methods and how to know what’s best for your space. If you could touch on that I’d love to learn more about it!! Thank you!! I’m in awe of all you do to grow such beautiful produce and make such gorgeous creations in your kitchen!! 😊❤️
Gorgeous garden
Instead of insect paper try Rhubarb Leaves chopped up fine, steep in water, strain n spray the water. Rhubarb leaves produce a form of Oxalic Avid that kills Pests and it helps Bees kill Pests that attack them too. They carry it back to the Hive with the Pollen. Just rinse your Produce before eating which anyone would normally do. Compost the remains of the leaves.
Can you do a video or give any tips on pickling the little pickles? In particular, what do you do if you're only harvesting a handful a day? Do you immediately pickle them to keep their crunch. Or wait until you have a batch. I only have a little garden.
This drove me mad last year. I actually have jars with barely any pickles in them because I just need to preserve them straight away. But it felt like such a lot of work. I'm still very grateful for them. They're so delicious.
I thought you said you don't make money off you tube 😅
You could use a silage tarp to kill off that poison ivy. Cut it down to ground level, cover with the tarp and seal the edges with rocks. The summer sun and water deprivation will kill the roots. Leave the tarp in place for 3 months or so in the warm weather.
Love from our homestead across the ocean in Africa 🇲🇦 You guys are so inspiring and bring smiles to our faces in Morocco ❤ Keep up the good work!
Have you tried spraying Bt on your brassicas as an organic solution to the cabbage worms?
We are soooo envious of your garden. Running an orchard is full time and just don't get the time to create such a beautiful growth. Maybe one day, until then we will check in on yours from time to time.
I'm just down the way from you in tricities, love seeing your garden! It's nice to find someone that is gardening near me. Good luck with those weeds, perennial weeds are a beast!
