    I also never use any spray at all. I let them grow as they're growing and there's always some plants that has some kind of resistance to them. I don't grow to sell them so always get enough harvest not just for our own consumption but enough to share with our friends and neighbors.

    May I suggest picking the whole stem with currants? Then clean them by pulling the stem through an upside down fork. I think this makes harvest faster, ymmv 😊

    if you tie the dog up while raccoons are out there, don't you risk them attacking the dog? dog won't be able to get away. if they know the dog is tied up, they also just eventually treat it as a garden scarecrow that you get used to.

    Very good video, I only take exception to the generalizations about Heirloom tomatoes.
    This is not a black and white issue, all Heirloom tomatoes are not disease prone, some are resistant like Pineapple beefstake which taste wise I would put up against any tomato out there. Blueberries cherry tomato was very resistant for me.
    It boils down to where you live and your cultural practices.
    I live in a more arid place and disease usually sets in late if at all.
    You can also get grafted Heirloom tomato plants. For me all they did was grow foliage, but some swear by them, all subjective.
    My market customers would line up for my Heirloom tomatoes. I would rather have superior taste than a huge yield of average tasting tomatoes. If you grow for market you can grow both for better offering to customers.

    Beautiful job Michelle! On your squash and cukes thin those leaves to help with the fungus amung us. Clip the extra leaves on the fruit sprout. Leave the main runner leaves. Just like you’re doing with your tomatoes….grow fruit not foliage. I’m 65 and have been growing food for 41 years…you inspire me! Keep at it….we never arrive! ❤

    You guys should make some cordials with some of your amazing fruits, super easy to do and way better than stuff in the shops. Also if you can find a good recipe for it rhubarb makes an amazing curd, makes a nice change from lemon curd.

    I love your garden, so rich & plentiful. Maybe try some diatomaceous earth food grade on your squash . I use it to keep the squash vine bore at bay. What is your water system like? Do you use over head or drip tape??

    Great content. Clear and concise. I think your channel is about to see tremendous growth! We homestead in Northern California but are originally from Ohio as well! I do watch quite a few different gardening/homesteading channels and your video was really good (it's the first of yours I've seen).
