Massive Spring Garden Harvest 2022, Backyard Organic Gardening (2)
like i mentioned i've got this new board that i'm tying my tomatoes down to but just look at the
growth on them these aren't even the healthiest looking tomatoes these are the ones that are
doing decent you i gotta show you the ones in the palette bed they're just they're doing so well
and here's a zinnia so i've got a lot of zinnias planted to bring in those butterflies because
it's a flower the butterflies do like and i just love that it's like the red red man cactus i think
it's called and then this another birdie's raised bed where we have a bunch of cabbages that are all
heading up as well and then i've got a bunch of different kinds of flowers like asters planted in
just to draw on all those pollinators let's move to the other food forest though
and i'm just walking by so many kinds of food like the asparagus here the grapes along the fence line
they're just not finished yet today we're focused on the things that actually have food on them
so come into this garden i want to show you that pallet raised bed like i was talking
about you got to see the health on the tomatoes in here it's just it's amazing
look at the growth and the health on these tomatoes i mean these things are going to be
massive producers for us this is like the 6th of june or something and we've got tomatoes
looking this big this beautiful definitely the best ever we've got some carrots in here
too i wonder if we have any that are a decent size to give tuck one i doubt it it's so early
let's just see i'm trying to feel around see if i feel anything this one's definitely too small
so it looks like no carrots ready yet we've got this long one here in this bed here you
go he'll have this just fresh long one let him snack on that so there's this little carrot look
at the size of some of this swiss chard too beautiful and then more flowers all mixed in
let me bring you to some of the other raised beds where we've got a lot more food too
and i've got a cool candy cane mix i think it's called of zinnias beautiful flower here
more cabbages more kale more chamomile down there lettuces that are ready
let me check some of these carrots i feel like these ones are further along
here's a good one hey taco want a carrot boy so
what's this this looks like a white yeah the white satin carrot so we've got a white variety
and i bet we have a an orange variety too so we'll let this guy snack on this or maybe even
looks like the purple ones already let's try one of the cosmic purple carrots see how those look
now they feel a little smaller what about the other variety we have back here
atomic red carrot yeah these ones are further along let's grab one of these
here's the atomic red still small but it's going to be a lot of fun food soon his all-time
favorite snack so you're getting a picture of the first carrot of the year for the boss
if you guys love seeing him in the uh in the videos hit the subscribe button
hit the like button and do not forget to spam some hearts down in the comments to
just show your love for the boss right here we love this guy let's keep moving though
here we've got some salary that's right getting close to being ready tango celery
i haven't grown celery that many times but it is growing beautifully so i'm happy about that
then as we come along on this side here we've got more things really just getting close like this
cauliflower right here so the cauliflower is ready before the cabbage is looking beautiful
and more carrots and stuff in here so we make sure we have a lot of carrots planted because
if we didn't the boss would just be upset with us let me take you over to the peas we have in the
back too because it's just more and more food just get a pan around though anywhere there's
anywhere there's steaks there's tomatoes growing up them flowers mixed in just like i mentioned
before it might look a little empty right now give it a little bit of time this is going to
be completely filled in i want to show you what i have in this back corner we've got sunflowers
coming up already getting huge tomatoes growing just absolutely beautifully i've got some secret
stuff in these crates that i'm keeping safe i'll let you know about that stuff in the future but
just the tomatoes are doing great back here we've got the tree that we just put in and then so many
peas ready back here i mean i couldn't even keep up with them so i'm gonna harvest all of
them today just absolutely beautiful let me grab harvest one of these real quick just to show you
i love getting the fresh peas out of them when they're uh
when they're this size because the peas are so sweet they you have to try it if you've never
had fresh peas like this it actually tastes like candy the amount of sugar in them is just
crazy because the sugars haven't converted to starch or anything so it's just so sugary
amazing so we've got to harvest a bunch of those let's keep moving though i want to grab
some fresh fruit we've got cur white currants that are ready so let's move over to those
more asparagus coming up we've got the comfrey down here
also known as bone knit a great permaculture plant so we've had this planted for years right above
that we've got blackberries that are starting to fatten up these are one of the fruits that take a
good amount of time to actually ripen they take a long time to finish come over here though i want
to show you the currants grab some of these this is my favorite variety of current by far this is
the white currants look how many are on there the trusses are just loaded with fruit look at this
take a look at that i mean that amount of fruit is just crazy go go down too it's just oh
let me grab some they're so good they have like this tangy flavor
and a little bit of sweetness too definitely my favorite variety of currant
a good amount of seeds in it but the flavor is just so good
and the plants are incredibly productive the uh
grapes this year have a an incredible amount of grapes on them you'll see by the trusses up here
this is the niagara grape and i also have the catawba too but you could just see the sheer
number of grapes and you'll notice the amount of light that's coming through that's because i went
around and cut out a lot of the big fan leaves i just removed some of those leaves just so the
fruit can get direct sunlight and a good amount of airflow which is super important for your grapes
underneath me here we've got some lemon balm we like to let this come up just to bring in
some pollinators and then probably my favorite perennial flower the echinacea i talk about
that a lot but it's just not only does it have beautiful flowers brings in the pollinators but
it's also a great medicinal so what i'm going to do now is go around harvest a lot of the
stuff and then i'll just put it onto a table and show you guys what it all looks like at the end
because me just sitting there harvesting the same thing for a while gets a little bit monotonous
some of these carrots in here are doing good too you'll notice we have carrots and all
different plants at different stages this way we can stagger the harvest so we don't
have too many things all at once but there comes a point in time like right now when
the things just come a little too fast so that i have to harvest a bunch of stuff and then i'll
just if i can't eat it all just end up giving it away that's a fun part too we got to grab
a bunch of these kales and stuff too we got to try to keep up with how much they're producing
that's today's video growers thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed it i hope you got something
out of it me and tuck love making these videos so much because the harvest videos are kind of like
are proof to you that a lot of the things that we're sharing with you actually work when i look
at the health of some of the tomatoes and how well the system's working and then i also just take a
quick look back as you guys can just take a step back and just get a whole overview of the forest
you can see that the whole system works well together not only is it producing a whole lot
of food but being in a garden like this is so much fun because it's like you're part of a
system you can go into the heart of the garden which is a forest hang out in the shaded trees
while you're out while you're harvesting all different kinds of fruits and vegetables so
not only is it something that provides you with a lot of food but it provides me and tuck with
an insane amount of joy this guy loves when the chipmunks come in so he can scare them all off
he loves getting rid of the squirrels and it'd be tough to do without the boss right here
he's always out here he's always dedicated in he always makes everything we do so much
more fun so me and talk wanted to thank one of our new channel members before we let you go
we want to thank leanne noble thanks for being a part of team grow thanks for contributing thanks
for having your hand in everything we're doing back here me and tuck have always wanted to just
grow food and share with everyone the joy that we have for growing the food
uh people ask a lot of times what we do with the extra stuff we end up just giving it away
to friends and family because it's not only about the harvest and storing it for me i just
get so much satisfaction out of the whole entire process of things so we just love
