By: moviematcanada. on 15 May 12, 09:33:55 Actually it turned out Rocco had an inner ear infection which I finally got cleared up for him in Dec, his hearing then started to return. Then his buddy Spike got killed and he went to selective hearing for? about 3 months, now the old guy is back to normal listening when he wants to or when he thinks it's his idea.
If you want a stubborn dog get anything crossed with a Malamute you'll get yrs of frustration, but great dog overall, good protector against other animals, useless against humans...

Just curious...did you do save many seeds from your garden for next year? Or will you just order seeds again? Thanks again, and I'll look forward to next year's video series!
This soil grew the ... By: moviematcanada. on 01 Dec 11, 15:15:39 This soil grew the best lawn which I never walked on, there use to be an old barn in the area and I figure there must be a ton of manure in the soil over the years. I figure the barn disappeared? about 30-40 years ago from this site.
The problem is he ... By: moviematcanada. on 01 Dec 11, 15:13:54 The problem is he wanted to eat it, I got it delivered the day before and had to get the job done right away, every time I turned around he was in munching down.
Yeh my neighbour is a great lad, we do a lot of different things for each other. He is not mechanically inclined at all and every? time I borrow something I always have to fix it or maintain it to use it, but still cheaper than buying it and he gets his equipment serviced for free in my shop.

Hope you have a good year too....

Just had some garden broccoli this morning, it was very delicious! Also had a handful of several lettuces, turnip greens, chard, etc, and eating them together was amazing!

Awesome work sir.
Thanks, never ... By: moviematcanada. on 06 May 12, 13:52:35 Thanks, never thought I would enjoy growing food so much should of been doing it years ago.
If it wasn't for the internet, and all the crap I've dug up on how we are getting poisoned I wouldn't be doing it. Ironically I grew up with a garden, my parents had it? quite rough in the 70s, we lived off our back yard as a kid, I hated it! Now I love it!
Doing a big burn today, got a huge amount of hard wood dead fall from the winter that I'm burning in the garden for the ash.
Great work, amazing ... By: Jaenus80. on 05 May 12, 00:34:44 Great work, amazing.? I'm jealous.
It really didn't ... By: moviematcanada. on 12 Mar 12, 18:28:52 It really didn't matter as when we harvested them we turn the plants completely out to do the? harvest.
Also clipping leaves off a plant during growth is not a good thing, it reduces the amount of energy it can get from the sun and reduces the plants ability to produce...
Yep, not a big fan ... By: moviematcanada. on 12 Mar 12, 18:27:06 Yep, not a big fan of Cottage Gardener, except for there Colourful? Carrots, which we are planting again this year.
Also they don't answer email questions, not the greatest service, where as Incredible seeds goes the extra mile....
You cant actually ... By: calamazue1989. on 12 Mar 12, 03:03:31 You cant actually clip most of the leafs of the beans which will make it much easier to see the beans and get in between the rows.?
Actually we left ... By: moviematcanada. on 01 Feb 12, 19:17:53 Actually we left them in for a couple of real cold -10 nights, if you check out my channel you will see the Parsnips video, they are the best I've? ever eaten so tender and sweet.

Your video leaves me only able to say, "It's? Amazing!."
"no dig vegetable ... By: mispistoleros. on 12 Dec 11, 21:49:43 "no dig vegetable garden" has recipes and tips on organic bug and pest control.
i lived in gautemala; people still plant their "milpas", or corn patches, with beans (black/kidney/navy) and squash. they make a mound, 3-4 corn stalks which the beans climb and squash at the base. each has beneficial? soil effects for the other 2.
a vegetarian friend who's 100% organic and 2x winner, best city garden, uses flowers to attract predatory bugs, coffee grinds to discourage soil nests and neem oil.
cheers
So that's who I can ... By: moviematcanada. on 06 Nov 11, 10:14:31 So that's who I can blame for leaving them? in the yard, those freaking glaciers can't be trusted!

Going to show the harvesting and processing next year, this year was a huge learning curve ended up getting over 900lbs of food which I didn't realize how much food 900lbs would be.
Want to do more canning and less freezing next year...
Oh and would also ... By: GardenNewbie. on 30 Oct 11, 01:28:38 Oh and would also be nice if in the future we? could see some of the harvesting :) best part of gardening for sure!
Great Job,? really ... By: GardenNewbie. on 30 Oct 11, 01:26:46 Great Job,? really nice to see the growth step by step!!
A quick mid week update, we decided that it was time to take the Heirloom Organic Rutabaga out, they are starting to look like basketballs, freaking huge.
These are the American Purple Top from http://www.incredibl eseeds.com I highly recommend them you won't be disappointed, I'm extremely happy with them.
I know what you ... By: moviematcanada. on 20 Oct 11, 16:31:08 I know what you mean, My wife and I started this garden and wanted to make sure we could grow a? year's worth of food.
As it turned out we ended up growing about 20 months worth, over shot it a bit but better too much than not enough.
First year learning curve did pretty good, next year I can't wait going to do things different even more selection than this year.
thanks for feedback ... By: yec1JF. on 20 Oct 11, 15:41:20 thanks for feedback - I love crunching? the numbers because my life may someday depend on it

Final harvest was 34 plants, 4 of them over 13 lbs each

You can eat them by ... By: moviematcanada. on 13 Oct 11, 19:19:38 You can eat them by simply cleaning them and boiling, roasting, steaming or make a mousse which one of my favourites.
They are the best I've ever eaten and I've been eating Rutabagas since a child, my parents grew them when I was young, but they never where as big as these or as tender.
I can eat these in a salad raw, sort of like a radish crossed with a? turnip.
Looks? good : By: BalconyGrow. on 13 Oct 11, 17:56:18 Looks? good :
What do you make ... By: BalconyGrow. on 13 Oct 11, 17:55:30 What do you make with? all that?
A quick update today, turns out the Organic Potatoes are a huge success.
We end up getting a wheel barrow full of potatoes, don't know what the weight is but based on the effort to push the wheel barrow I figure 80-90 lbs at least.
Got enough potatoes now for I figure 5 years, just kidding...
lol, I'm not much ... By: Helioforge. on 04 Oct 11, 05:07:38 lol, I'm not much of a tomato? eater : ) Potatoes however, raw, baked, mashed, etc : )

Actually I tried ... By: moviematcanada. on 03 Oct 11, 13:16:36 Actually I tried giving a bunch of beans? (50lbs) this summer to the food banks, tried 3 of them and they weren't interested in picking them up too much effort for very little return they basically told me.
I've got some people in the area that aren't doing that great that I'm going to pass them along to, we have them in the back shed drying right now.
WOW thats about 65# ... By: StatenIslandSlim. on 03 Oct 11, 01:19:00 WOW thats about 65# of spuds nice, job? give them to a shelter or food pantry for the needy.
Today is a busy day;
Fall is here and the days are now cooler and we are taking the Heirloom Organic Potatoes, Corn & Spaghetti Squash out of the garden.
We ended up getting 41 lbs of frozen corn kernels, planted them far too close together but hey it's the first time growing corn.
Thank you for ... By: Lisa3679. on 10 Oct 11, 02:15:48 Thank you for telling me about your channel and garden last? week after I commented on a video from someone else. Since then, I have watched all of your planting/harvesting videos. You and your wife have worked hard harvesting food for the winter and beyond, and probably need a long massage. I'm glad for what you've learned and that you wanted to share your experiences with everyone. Please keep making videos until your garden is empty. Natural food is the best for everyone :)

Well it's had been a busy weekend we started harvesting our Heirloom Organic Vegatable Garden and spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday picking and washing then freezing Beets (Bottoms & Tops), Beans and Peas.
So far we have over 85 pounds of Veggies in the freezer, turining out to be HUGE! And we aren't even 5% of the harvest...

How do you know the ... By: moviematcanada. on 14 Aug 11, 00:55:58 How do you know the sprays you are using are really organic? I have only used dish soap mixed with water sprayed when I had problems at the start, now that everything is growing really fast the? bugs aren't making any effect on the garden, they are there but the growth out paces the bug eating.
good deal ! I'm ... By: HackerGuitarist. on 13 Aug 11, 21:43:48 good deal ! I'm the same way, I use organic sprays and ferts. things taste much better and can be eaten the day? of harvest or right after spraying

By: moviematcanada. on 13 Aug 11, 12:46:54 I'm just a guy that doesn't want to eat the crap the corporations are forcing down our throats, As far as certification that is the biggest scam in the world who appointed them the certification bosses? I didn't, did you? All I know there is no chemical in my garden, I can eat it right out of the garden without washing it, because I? know there is nothing on my food, unless the neighbour has come over and sprayed it while I'm away which I doubt the dogs would of eaten him!
to call a farm ... By: HackerGuitarist. on 13 Aug 11, 03:26:31 to call a farm organic you have to have to apply for certification? , use certified seed and keep thorough records of all activity's and amendments ... is that what you do ?

I'll be happy if I have a fraction of the harvest that you have had!! One question--it looks like you have the names of your plantings in plastic and then zip-tied to stakes, poles, or wires. Can you describe what? the plastic protector is and where you got it? It looks like a great idea.
Thanks and happy gardening!!
All I can say is ... By: moviematcanada. on 04 Mar 12, 16:49:23 All I can say is watch my series and see the amount of work that went into it, bottom line efforts has a direct relation to results, we got 1,400 lbs of food because we took this adventure extremely? serious considering we didn't plan it out.

Today we are harvesting (time to thin them out) Beet tops and freezing them, we ended up getting 26 pounds of frozen beet tops.
Filled a 5 foot dia kids pool with beet greens.... plus got 10lbs of baby beets!
The heirloom organic vegatable garden is growing fantastic along with the weeds
We have started a Weedageddon program this week to get rid of the weeds the old fashion way, on your hands and knees picking everything, time consuming but it's getting rid of them for this week at least.
Will keep you updated ...
