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.

"That's a level four offense, dear camera man! Watermelon is LIFE!! 😂
Totally cracked me up laughing out loud😅.
Yup, I'm one of the majority here who enjoy watching you share your talents and wisdom in all things 'life' mixed in with a healthy and entertaining dose of absolute appreciable sarcasm!!! 😂
Watching and enjoying your channel all the way from western Canada 🤍
You are hilarious and wish I lived nearby! The music in the background is spot on! Thank you for making my day so much better and putting a smile on my face!!!
Have you covered the best way to prevent the squash bore?
NOOOOE the twisted root tree didn't make it. 🥲 Man, what a journey. But the peach tree is looking amazing. I'm hoping the nectarine makes an appearance.
First of all, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I myself am a lazy gardener, so kudos to us both! Aside from that, I would like to point out two things. One: plants in nature are not genetically modified, they are hybridized – genetic modification involves making changes to plants (and animals) that would NOT happen in nature. That said, NONE of the seeds sold to home gardeners are genetically modified, at least at this time – unless, of course, some of those little GMO anarchists have cross-pollinated with plants from which seeds were saved, but I think they test for that. Two: capsaicin is only found in small amounts in the seeds – the bulk of the capsaicin is found in the pith. Don't know how you handle that heat & humidity – I struggle with it being too hot & humid in Minnesota!
Great garden.
Anne, I always love your videos about your garden. I have learned so much from each (and forget just as much so I have to go back and review) and remain inspired to persevere through the times I just want to rip things apart. Like July and August in middle Georgia aka hell.
I feel like Anne needs to be invited to eat spicy wings on Hot Ones. 🤩
What you might be brewing (or thinking about) would actually be called a braggot if I recall correctly, bc you are using honey instead of sugar.
I hope that you actually meant to say that HYBRID seeds were no problem. Genetically modified is a completely different thing. Hybrid seeds can happen in nature or be guided by humans, but genetically modified is created in a lab by splicing genes that would never happen in nature. So far, a lot of commercially produced crops have been genetically modified, but I only know of one genetically modified seed that's available to home gardeners. It's a purple tomato that is purple because they put a snapdragon gene into it.
Thank you Anne, love your videos! ❤ My garden is no where near lazy yet, though I have been working on putting down cardboard and mulch a bit at a time.
Anne. Warning: Blue Herons are a state and federally protected species! Fines for harming, trapping, or shooting them can be as much as $15,000 and/or 6 months in jail. Don’t let your dog get you in trouble.
Anne – this is your best video yet. Sparky, free and loaded with great info. Cheers!
Quick question and if anyone knows please share:
How wide does she make her raised beds and how wide are her walking paths?
@anneofalltrades
Oh my stars, I have a pathetic apple tree (bush) just like that. Do I trim it?
Your garden should suffer less than the forest behind because it is more open and has more airflow. But the forest will recover itself.
Are M1 cucumbers really GMO, or are they a hybrid variety? I ask because there's a huge difference: you're not legally allowed to harvest seeds from GMO varieties; you have to pay royalties to the company every year you plant them, even if the plants resow themselves. That seems against the lazy gardening ethos (not to mention your thriftiness), so I'm thinking you probably mean they're hybrid.
If so, I completely agree that there's nothing wrong with hybrids! I save seeds from my hybrids and replant them. I don't care if I get something slightly different next year — whatever I get will probably be the best adapted to my soil, and the genetic diversity available within a hybrid variety seems like an added bonus to me.
(As a side note, Joseph Lofthouse once commented that "hybrid vigor" could also be restated as "partially reversing inbreeding depression," because heirloom varieties tend to be inbred. He recommends adding lots and lots of genetic diversity, because that tends to result in better localized adaptation and "hybrid vigor" every year because the plants are never inbred. Are you familiar with Joseph Lofthouse? If not, I highly recommend reading his book Landrace Gardening! It seems like totally your thing.)
I love your channel, and really enjoy all of your videos. I love your personality and great sense of humor, in addition to all of the fantastically awesomely awesome information !! four thumbs up! two thumbs and 2 big toes.. its all the thumbs i can find to give you 🙂
Have you tried making Cyser from your Apples and Honey with the natural yeast on the apples Great stuff
I planted beans next to my corn, and it worked really well until my beans got massive, betrayed my corn, and broke all the stalks due to the weight. Now I have flimsy bean supports as opposed to sweet corn in fall. Oh well.
