Our Gardening experiences

It’s starting to be that time of year for harvesting stuff from our garden and the first big job that we have this year is the garlic. We definitely pick stuff before this but this is the first crop that is harvested for keeping in the cellar over the next year. In a few weeks we will get to potatoes and then onions and shallots. But with that said let get to the basics of harvesting and preparing your garlic for storage.

This will get a brief idea of how we started our No Till Garden and how it has worked for us. When looking to start ours we found people doing them in many different ways and for us this seemed to be the best for functionality and beauty. We hope you enjoy this video and please like and follow if you want to see more like this.

After being frustrated with the typical tomato cages that you buy at the store we decided to make our own. We wanted to have a cage that would last a long time and so far they have held up great and I expect them to last another 10 years easily. The ones that you get at the hardware store did not usually more than a couple years before they were either destroyed or just not functional anymore. Hope this inspires you all to make some of your own.

A while back we noticed honey bees coming from one of our trees and after a closer look we found that it was actually a hive that was living in a hole of the tree. It has been great having them on our property to pollinate but it is a shame that we can taste any of their great honey. Just another reason to explore your property and always stay curious about what is happening on it, sometimes you get a nice surprise.

We wanted to show you all a basic layout of how we decided to plant and care for our fig trees and give a little info on there growing characteristics. A lot of people aren’t aware that you can easily grow figs in the Maryland area so we wanted to show you that it is possible.

This is a basic view of our 3D Deer fence that we installed to prevent deer from eating our garden. If you have any questions on it concerning the dimensions, effectiveness or installation feel free to ask or if you just want to know more about our garden as to what and how we grow, I would be more than happy to answer your questions.
