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.
12 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.

20,000 pounds? After looking up the price per bag, I'd be ready to call in for some dump truck loads of clay that I could spread with my tractor
BEEN WAITING FOR Y’ALL TO POST A VIDEO! Been binge watching your old videos in the meantime 🤪
Aww, your baby boy is beautiful and growing very fast!! I’m restarting my whole garden at my new house this year and am looking forward to growing some delicious fruits and veggies. Thanks for the great gardening tips.
Howdy neighbor! You may be the reason I haven't gotten any wood chips… they are all going to you. Lol. I can't believe you're getting peaches from uncovered trees. I've had to build an "umbrella" contraption to cover mine for late frost protection. 😊
Your son giggling with the calf is beyond adorable!
Love your videos, thank you for sharing them with us. Also, thanks for the videos including Alexander. What a precious, happy baby boy ❤
I love your channel. Thank you so much for doing it! You’re garden goals right there.
I keep my blueberry bushes mulched with pine needles and they do just fine. Feed them food for acid loving plants in the spring and then I get blueberries!! No honeybees around my house, but my bumble bees like me and I like them! Garlic, onions, leeks, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, carrots and mustard already up and doing great in my garden in M'boro, TN. If I go thru my grass clippings, I find Bermuda grass–so no grass clippings in my garden. God bless y'all and keep growing.
This is my sixth year gardening. The last 2 years were really rough for me (I had my first baby) and my garden suffered 2024&2025. This is my garden comeback year and also I love all your great growing methods to avoid spending excess time in the garden but still having great Whole Foods fresh from your garden. Baby #2 due in August so atleast I’ll have everything planted and I’ll just have to harvest after I give birth!
Mark Shepard is the best!
I honestly don't remember if you've said anything about this, but as a person who is interested in growing paw-paws one day, I thought it might be nice to pose a query about it. Could you, since you have a wild cultivar of the same fruit tree growing nearby, could you perhaps attempt a graft of that tree onto your unrelated paw-paw trees (and mark the limbs) so you can pollinate the blossoms easier and perhaps have a higher liklihood of the pollinators also doing the job? This is something my husband and I are experimenting with on our own property with young apple and pear trees, so we can (hopefully) have a more successful fruit set when our trees set fruit.
I wouldn’t call your garden empty, I would say look at all the potential!😊
My garden experiment this year is growing (hopefully) a pineapple from a store bought pineapple. I saw another YouTuber do this by simply twisting off the top and putting it in some soil. And voila! I let my pineapple top dry a bit to harden off the base so as to not introduce any bad stuff. I'm hoping for a "boy howdy" moment😂
Ohhh!! I feel your pain with the artichokes!! I had 2 nice plants making it through the winter until a vole came & decimated them. Ugh!! I really didn’t think they’d go after an artichoke! What do you guys do about voles?
Your music machine song reference took me back to my child hood. That record was on repeat all the time in our house.
I use toilet paper rolls for carrots. Cut/ fold one end to make a bottom. Fill with seed raising mix add seed. When it came time to plant outside. Every was put in the ground, including the roll
We just built a raised 16×4 foot bed for my artichokes…. I agree they are the best way to eat butter! I had to make raised beds and keep them acid for my Blueberries and strawberries…. FINALLY they are thriving. Texas is a challenge during hot summers so I am trying to make my garden easier to keep watered and growing through the 4000 deg summer days. Something I have learned is Artichokes need VERY fertile soil and are HUGE eaters…. So I built the biggest raised bed in my garden using composted goat and cow and native dirt along with some fancy imported raised bed mix that was mulch,mushroom compost and topsoil….. I wanted that bed seriously heavy with food and so far the babies I grew in the greenhouse from seed are now looking killer!
25:44 omg, I had been wondering if there any mini LEAN type of pig, but this is so cute
I’m planting my brassicas out next weekend, so excited! My onions are still so tiny
It gets me thinking…can we also get natural bee habitat to support a bee population we think is good?
I love you videos so much, feels like such a cozy place to hangout after a busy day with my babies. Thank you for all that you do
So I wasn’t using fertilizer but every other garden channel was saying to use it, so I did and it was my first year having aphids and other problems and NEVER AGAIN!
I love watching your videos. You are a shining light on God's green earth. Your son, husband , and all your animals are lucky to have you. The rest of us will settle for enjoying your videos. 😊
Greetings from Paw Paw, Michigan, where I literally have never seen a paw paw tree.
We cannot grow or place seeds as yet because we have snow
Thoroughly enthusiastic&goodhype
baby recognizes baby
I hope the blueberry bush is ok!
Been hives.
Damn it, bee hive
Greetings from Richmond VA where we suffer from the same deceptive weather!
I’m so excited you are back!!! I love watching your channel. Every time I see a new video posted from you or Cody and Michelle from more than gardening, I get so excited! You guys are such an inspiration and I’ve learned SO much from you all. My two favorite YouTube channels. I’m in Oregon and we are currently hitting 60’ and 70’s in the daytime but still 30’s and 40’s at night. It’s so exciting watching all the little sprouts popping up all over. I cannot wait to see how beautiful it’s all going to be once they fully come alive on the surface.
Isn't it weird that I feel really happy about your life. Your son's laughter almost made me cry. Thx for doing what you do.
I spotted Wilson!! 😂
Thật tuyệt vời chúc bạn hạnh phúc
We love you, Adam!
I am obsessed with the incredible tropical tiki porch! It’s stunning
Very enjoyable trip through your spring garden. Thx to you for sharing all the things you have learned and thx to Adam for all the filming and editing of your content.
All those potatoes you didn’t harvest will grow more potatoes this year. Update us if you see them! 😊
Your success in "lazy gardening " always inspiring….also gorgeous footage of Alexander & calf❤
I planted two filberts last year. Can't wait to enjoy my own homemade Nutella too!
Your Potato fail of 2025 can be some your greatest harvest of 2026!!! Weed whack the area, Cover w some compost and fine shavings and watch last years potato’s resprout for this year! Bonus crop
Anne! I’m allergic to bees but would love to keep them, do you know anyone that does it despite the allergy?
Yayyyyyy!!! Love everything
Thank you ann for telling me what the white stuff in my beds is, when I first saw this in my head, I had no idea what it was. I got scared, wasn't too sure what to do, googled and nothing. Thank you. ❤
