    That's the first time I've seen a tool that packs soil into pods! What is the name of it? Thank you so much, I am in love with the content! Thank you for sharing!!!

    Ohh an idea to consider trying in the garden, plant some edamame perhaps? 🌿❤

    I'm in zone 5 and I'm trying out several new things this year. Hardy kiwi, jicama, Romanesco artichoke (which is supposedly the tastiest), a raised strawberry bed, next year I'm going to add asparagus, and blueberries. But you have so much more space, I think fruit trees would be awesome.

    I found out that although slugs do some damage to my seedlings, it’s the birds who eat most of my little spouts! I watched them do it! I covered my new plantings and I have no damage! So make sure to cover your new transplants and seedlings with some netting this year to see how they do 😊

    So for your back to eden bed, why not amend with composted manure and organic fertilizer? When you plant, move aside the mulch (don’t dig into the soil at all), and fill the opening with compost and fertilizer. The plants will like that right away and push their roots down into your native soil. I do back to Eden gardening and it does get better; in fact, it gets amazaballs!! My soil is so rich now after six years, it’s awesome! I suggest you do watermelons, melons, squash and/or pumpkins over there. You could test a tomato plant and pepper plant there to see how they do with the amendments. Also, in the fall, be sure to top off the beds with manure and more wood chips. The manure will help speed up the decomposition of the wood chips, creating rich soil for you the following year.

    Your garden is literally my dream! It is so beautiful. We are going to be trying out Hugelkulture next year.

    With your back to eden beds, have you considered just building them up. So you can give the soil beneath more time, but you have ample root growth space for the current year. It's definitely a more long term focus method. We decided to start ours with 8-10 inches of soil (which compacts a bit after laying down), then we did the compost on top. Also, I know a lot of people who do no-till methods like back to eden, they still broad fork. It doesn't mean you can't touch the soil at all. Perhaps consider Broadforking your bed before planting this year!

    I'd love to see you grow flowers you can make dried flower bouquets from! Strawflowers, statice, craspedia etc. They would also look gorgeous woven into garlic braids 🙂

    I love your recipe box turned seed box! It's definitely less intimidating for small gardeners than the box photo box other youtubers are using.

    Arrow root, fiddleheads, certain types of spinach and greens, water celery and watercress all do well in boggy soil.

    So I’m in NY down in Orange County we had HORRIBLE vine borer last year. I will say my pumpkins and vining squash did get saved by they were crawling on the ground so they re rooted along the ground….my plan was to trellis them and that fell through so I guess it kinda saved me bc i still got harvest even though my vines were riddled with the dreaded borer😫😫😫😫

    My squash will be about 100-150 feet away from my old bed this year idk if that will even matter since the borer flys. And I will hopefully be trelliing some of my winter squashes and pumpkin this year

    Has anyone had any luck with traps? Any in the comments or Jen, tips on vine borers when you do trellis a squash or pumpkin that they will inevitably attack?

    I'm excited to see your cut flower garden! I'm doing my first cut flower garden as well! I think that bed would be great for a medicinal herb section with things like sage, st johns wort, echinanacea, chamomile, bee balm, etc. I feel those plants are pretty hardy and usually don't get sick 😊

  18. Heather Parrish

    Maybe I missed it, but do you have a three sister garden section? I tried it last year and it was a fun experiment. We're going bigger with it this year. Also, do you have any milkweed? Your pollinator cohabitants would appreciate it.
    I used sweet alyssum as a weed control ground cover around my tomato plants once. Edible ground covers that make for less weeds is always nice!

  23. drekfletch

    I don’t remember you mentioning it, but do you have a spot for perennial veg? Things like rhubarb, asparagus, horseradish?

  26. Speak Life Garden Homestead & Permaculture

    I sware I just bought almost everything you showed in your garden walk through last year rofl 🤣 I'm like no way, it was funny! Even the mammoth sunflowers🌻😃👍🌹
    Where did you get your organization pages? Thanks for the update and what zone are you in, just Curious. 🤔❤️🌻🙏❣️I need a sharpie that won't get sun or water faded!!

  28. Grace King

    I love how you’re always kissin’ on your sweet babe. Mine is eighteen months and I still can’t resist!❤️

  32. Arizona High Desert Homestead

    That is for sure one thing I don't miss. I was born and raised in Western Washington and slugs were everywhere, as well as snails and they always destroyed my berries… now I'm in the high desert of Arizona.. no slugs !! Rodents but I can combat those much easier. Great work you are doing ?
