In this video, we’re sharing how we grow and use an impressive variety of vegetables – from juicy cherry tomatoes to mouth-watering peppers – all while making the most of our limited space. We’ll even tabulate the number of plants needed to sustain our two-person household with delicious food year-round. We grow a year round supply of tomatoes, peppers, beans, celery, pumpkin, squash, cucumbers, basil, cauliflower, potatoes and more. So, if you’re ready to be amazed at the abundance that can come from a little bit of dirt and a lot of love, buckle up and join us!

Cool and you still gathered berries and fruit from a far. And here we grow again lol.
Take care
Looking forward to more videos.
You guys are amazing! We rely hugely on our gardens. I need to get better at utilizing my space maybe lol. We grow a lot of our own food, but definitely not as much as you. What a great video. We LOVE growing celery too, our first year we couldn't believe the taste difference from store bought, amazing. Another thing we grow a ton of is herbs, we hardly ever buy herbs as we dehydrate sooo much, I'm sure you do too. You definitely inspired me to utilize my crops more and in more ways. 😊
Thank you for giving us numbers,but they took the wind out of my sails. I am preparing a corner in my yard for my first garden, but I can only get a tiny fraction of those plants in that corner. 😭
Great calculation over there! I would say we are similar.
We have the same issues. Middle of the forest and the Canadian Shield is a few feet below the crappy top layer of soil. Slowly building up compost and growing our garden. Thanks for the great ideas and tips for growing. 🌱
great run down of your planting list! How's the maple flowing? I'm boiling again tomorrow!
That's awesome! Nothing like growing our own food! Learning as I go and now need to learn how to grow more in small spaces! Thanks for showing me it's possible!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
👏👏 Blessings ❤️
Thanks for sharing
Great summary, thank you. I totally get your numbers – our off-grid house (Yukon grower) is starting to look like a nursery with onions, celery, peppers, leek.
And you are a hundred percent right about the celery! I didn´t like it until I planted our own some years ago and now I have 6 types going. Love it and toss it in everything. 🙂
Really would be nice to see all the preservation videos linked in while talking about the plant.
Great job from Ontario Canada ❤
Love the number of plants list and the eat now, eat later concept. One of my goals this year is to succession plant so I can extend my eat now harvest.
Good info…I need to grow more . Is it because your growing season is short that you plant so much also
Great great video guys! We love the numbers and that is something that we often find is difficult to explain to people and have them "get it". I use 120 lbs of tomatoes just for ketchup, never mind all the other things that you mentioned. Love how you made this very matter of fact and straight forward loved it. Congrats on growing so much of your own food and we hope you have another great garden season. ~Steph and Chris
This feeling that you feel connected to your land, that general feeling goes for most jobs but its just much easier to feel that way growing your own food. Also the connection to nature makes it easier at least I think so.
Very interesting video, I think you are right about many people underestimate what they need. Are you vegetarians? are you hunting, are you buying meat and fish or can you trade with some neighbor that do hunting?
My Daddy would plant 100Lbs of potatoes every year besides everything else. I didn't appreciate it until I was grown how hard he worked. Miss him and love him so much
Great Videos!
So excited to see you were recruited for Team Aquarius! Watching you grow should be very informative.
Growing celery…. absolutely agree with you guys! All the flavour and its ability to be frozen makes it an important choice. Wish our farm was closer to yours as we could initiate some trading! Wow! You sure love your hot peppers!
I see you have come a long way. Great progress . I like the arial views . Take care friends
Don't ever say it might not be the best garden. IT'S YOUR GARDEN OF EDEN.!!!!!!!!
