MORE ABOUT ME
I’m Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you’ve got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you’ve always wanted to do, everything is “figureoutable.”
I became “Anne of All Trades” out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
13 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it’s carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support – whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

Love your channel! There's no channel on Youtube that is 100% accurate all the time. You rock…keep on rockin! 😘
Thank you for all the wonderful information you give and your gracious humility! I have learned so much and you inspire me ❤
Water on a leaf does not hurt it. It does not magnify the sunlight.
That short is very funny!
I love your videos, people fail to realize that this is all contingent on where you live, climate etc. It all has to be personalized.
Thanks for the clarifications and corrections. Very brave of you to put this out there.
And now the rolly-polly thing makes sense because I did watch those buggers eat my carrots seedlings… but it's my first year gardening and there wasn't much decaying matter in my beds. This year, the roots from last year's crops will have sat rotting in the soil over the winter and the wood chips will have had a chance to break down.
Oh, and rolly-pollys love beer too.
You're very humble and restrained in your responses to the know-it-alls and Philistines in the comments section, which I'm in awe of! Personally, I'd be jumping all over them with a bad attitude…which is why you're a content creator and I'm not….and why you're the wonderful person that you are and I'm….me 🤣Please do keep the great content coming. And thank you for your heads up about the roly poly's (known as woodlice here in the UK). The buggers had a really good go at my strawberries last summer, so now I know what to do to make sure the same doesn't happen this year. ❤
As a dyslexic with adhd I know how words can swap with what you think you said and mixed with name blindness lol it’s a bitch… I love your honesty and the fact people like me know everything is different in garden to garden, a pest in one area is a prized plant elsewhere, I am glad you cleared up the Forrest part as that’s the only horror for me lol I’m in Australia and I know of so much damage comes from the wrong taking plants but often those people want free plants and have no understanding of the delicate echo systems
We all need to research our own stuff for our area and experiment, I know i have broken rules and have been asked for help by many and thankfully offered to be compensated
I get hot dry winds on he edge of all open grain growing paddocks so I do have to water allot even with improving organic matter using cardboard and mulch etc and I have lots of mycelium 😉
Earwigs are my nemesis but with better soil (started again 5mnths ago) I definitely have less issues now lol even my sacrificial plants are doing great lol
Keep up the great entertaining informative posts we love them x
I have to say, this was my first year at eating Chard and it is Delicious…in baconfat. When I first saw that short, it made me chuckle and I agreed wholeheartedly… I can't understand why other's don't.
Happy New Year
I love that you double downed on hating chard lol
That is what I appreciate about your channel. You aren’t afraid to lean into your contrarian sensibilities. Context also matters, so this was a tactful way to say, “You were right, but so was I because…..”.
I look forward to watching more of your content as we roll into 2025 Gardening 👊🏻🌻👊🏻
Thanks for sharing ❤
YOU ARE RIGHT … I grow Swiss Chard for the color, and I add to it some to give flavor … however, normally by itself Chard would be gross 🙂 🙂 🙂
You can't know it all kiddo!
I think the warm climate excuse for cover crops made zero sense. In Florida I have basically 3 growing seasons. Each season is the cover crop for the next and any remaining fertility gets passed on so I only fertilize every other year. So I found that point unproductive.
Awesome video ❤
Its so much easier to trust those that are able to admit they are wrong now and then.
And then it is easy to forgive them for potential wrongs in the future. 🙂
To hell with the na sayers. You have a great informational, inspirational, and easy to watch channel. Keep up the good work.
Fret not thyself. We are constantly learning new things in the garden. Happy 2025. 😊
😂🤣 Chard is gross. I stick by you on that!
I think we learn even more when we realize that we believed bad info. It's good when we can correct one another But that being said I bet yt creators get frustrated by so many bs complaints haha
Anne, you remain absolutely awesome, and the internet know-it-alls and sarcasm-deficients need to learn how to hush. No one should be taking 100% of their information on a topic from a singular youtube video, no matter who made it, and so the few errors that you did legitimately make should not cause anyone to be steered the wrong way, if they are doing their own due diligence and getting information from multiple sources. Really, the only time you should be trusting a single source to be your information on something is if it is a peer-reviewed sort of thing, which is not 97% of the internet XD
I started following because of your sarcasm over chard and lettuces 🤣
Respect to you!
And CHARD /IS/ GROSS !
I don't like to kill anything unless really, really necessary. I learned a neat method of dealing with slugs in an article years ago. What you do is make little rafts and put the slugs on them and put them in the creek. Then downstream they go with Godspeed and a chance to find a new life in the wild or maybe a neighbors garden.
Thank you for being real!
I love your channel. I laughed out loud though when you doubled down on the swiss chard
Anne, first things first: you give me so much joy with your videos. 💚
It takes balls to expose yourself to the public like you do with your videos. Few have them! 😁
I think it's a shame that you've received so many negative and some know-it-all corrective comments. You keep saying that this is your way of doing things – so why should others impose "their way" on you? – you didn't even ask for it.
Correction is only okay IF it is formulated in a neutral way. Any other form is just 🙄
Everyone has mixed something up at some point. The world won't end because of it. And you have the courage to talk about it. Hats off to you!
And by the way, chard eaten alone tastes like crap.
Keep it up, I think you're awesome. 😊
Sorry not sorry!
Awesome video, Thanks, Mrs. Anne and Mr. Adam!!
Love this video (like all your videos). I also really like that you pushed back against the Open Vase Only Mafia on the fruit tree pruning. As someone who is into fruit trees who prefers central leader, espalier and even spindle/axis styles, I've had more than my fair share of run-ins with the Open Vase Evangelists who demand that anyone choosing any different style of training is clearly doing it wrong… the real answer is that trees are resilient and different species and even varieties respond differently to different pruning methods, and different people have different goals and preferences. I really enjoyed that video because you made it pretty clear in the video what your long-term goals were for your trees and why you were pruning that way, and it was a little different than much of the fruit tree content on youtube.
Love this! Thank you.
I feel the same way about Brussel Sprouts and Liver and cabbage unless it's made into sour craut, so. No shame on the shard game from me.
This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and now I just want to go back to all these videos cause they look great! Thank you for putting yourself out there and ignore the trolls. Plenty of people can choose to provide helpful corrections without being rude.
This is one of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Being specific about caveats is so important for the various environments and plants we grow
My sheep are my therapists 😂❤
Anne, I am so with you on the matter of chard 😂
The only reason I grow it, is because it's so pretty! I don't like it either! 😏
"Errare humanum est" (to err is human), nobody is perfect! Keep on making the videos, you are doing great! 🤗
