You're going to love the difference adding that manure will make. And then a tilled-in cover crop too! Should be a really good garden down there this year.
Your right Kaye it is bitter sweet, will you let the clippings just lay or till under? Have a blessed Sunday Kaye , love is the key always 💞 🏵️🌹🪻🌺
Miss Kaye: I admire your dedication and persistence in the garden. I appreciate your concern toward preserving medicinal plants and informing us about them. There is always something to do in the garden. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge. Take care and happy gardening! It is raining here this morning(SUNDAY) in South Carolina and the temp is currently 51 degrees.🐱
Love watching your videos and your knowledge
WOW.
that's gorgeous …..
If you need any extra manure all you have to do is walk across the street with a shovel now, lol.
Oh Kaye you have to try the wild strawberries to me they are better than the tame one's. When I was growing up in the mountains of NC there were so many we could pick bucket's full and Mom would can them and make strawberry pies and we would eat a bowl for breakfast with hot biscuits OH SO DELICIOUS 😋
You can use some for medicine !! Pick the buds before they open too much !!
💜💜💜
Good day to you, dearest kaye and kitties..oh I just can't stop gazing at the sight of tge fresh spring green all around you there. mmmm!its so deeply satisfying 😌. Oh I love wild strawberry s ,I really do not like the big tame ones znd never have. I love all other fruits and vegetables 😋. As children we would gather up wild strawberry s around the bottom of the County hedgerows, then take them indoors, we popped a wee drop of milk in a pan on the edge of the old stove and left it a while, t h e top would get nice and thick ,then we took the top and popped it on the strawberry s to eat,mmm! Yum,,definitely a good flavour.!.oh kaye here in the uk 🇬🇧 people used to scoop horse poop off the Road s and put it around there roses ,definitely good manure..kaye it a wonderful sight,horse s all in perfect view for you,,lovely film again, I need to watch over again larer,thankyou so much,love to you and the creatures, from me and my garden girls 🐔. Xxheather xx
Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.
I was wondering, how will you go about planting after the cover crop is mowed? Do you then have to till all the cut stems under? What’s the best method to do that? I’m going to try cover cropping for the first time this year, starting with buckwheat this summer. Thanks!
You work so hard you'll probably live to a healthy old age.
I saw your post about the monster squash. A tip I have for cleaning out squash of any kind is to use a wide mouth or regular mouth jar lid. It makes getting the seeds and strings out so much easier. One of my favorite kitchen tools
Oh kaye 😅, Jack and Jill went up the hill,to fetch a pale of water 💧 😅xxx.yes do remember to drink plenty and eat some yum,when those little darling wild strawberry s are plum pudding do try a couple, it can be your treat on the go,xxxxhugs ,just love your films,, bless 🙏 you 🙏 xx
You are supposed to wait until the crimson clover goes to seed to mow it,that way it is reseeded or pick the seeds off and scatter the seed where there is none so you can do the same thing there. Mine didn't grow as well as yours did it was covered up or crouded out by some weed, I guess Baker Creeks seeds maybe were old and a lot of them just didn't germinate and grow, I just got them the end of last summer, some of it came up above the weeds but not near as much as I planted. I'm glad you got a nice crop.
Wow – What a difference after it was all mowed! While the crimson clover is beautiful, it's purpose is to improve the soil and so it must go to plant the food crops. You have so many medicinal herbs you could open a medicinal pharmacy! Hope the weather holds for you to get everything planted and have a blessed week..
There is no better tasting strawberry like the wild one. I remember eating my first bought strawberry from when I was quite young because I spit it out with discussed. Like blueberries the fields of wild strawberries from the Northern, Ontario town where I was raised are still popular for berry picking. Of course time consuming. Growing up my mother would start to make jam from the time they were ready to pick and dozens and dozens of jam jars. We would pack a lunch and often all 8 kids tagging along with my father would go berry picking for the day. Great video. 💕
those old mustard seeds, into a pillow case and bash it with a rolling pin! youll seperate the seeds from the husks easily! I did the same as I let all my cale and broccolli go to seed!
Thank you Kaye!
Another great video, Kaye! You moving to your homestead has put you so far ahead of the pack. As we hear the drum beat louder to get out of the cities, grow our own food, etc… Here’s something yucky I just learned. For approximately the last 6 months, when picking up a package of chicken to make for my meals of a chicken Caesar salad, I noted that the packages were smelling like cleaning fluid. I’d pick a pack up and sniff, there were no tears in the packaging and when the smell was really noticeable I wouldn’t by any. No one else seemed to have a problem with it as if while standing there someone else would come up or notice I was smelling the package. I’d ask them, “do you smell that sort of cleaning fluid smell?” Their eyes would glaze over, they’d pick a package of chicken and just toss it in their basket. I had no digestive issues from the one package I did eat from and it tasted like chicken to me, but Supposedly, chicken in the U.S. is “bathed in chlorine” ..some sites say even organic chicken has this done to it. Other places say it’s just a rinse but I find it disgusting that I can smell chlorine through the packaging of chicken at the grocery store. Have a blessed day! ✌🏻
Great update! Love the idea of letting some of that go to cover for next season.. 💚 Maybe a couple, meadows of wildflowers, mixed in. Nothing wrong with cutting back a little
Be careful using horse manure according to mother earth. Horses eat hay and hay is sprayed with broad leaf weed killer, this will kill your garden, Horses unlike cows have only one stomach so the weed killer is not absorbed and passed into the horse manure unlike cow manure. And weed killer may last along time.
