hello hello hello hello my name is Sam and I'm Angela and we're Green acre
homestead welcome back today we are going to be planting some seeds in the
lower big garden it's about time in it it is about time geez why has it taken
so long everything L IFE is also how you spell everything mm-hmm all right let's
head down to the garden first thing on our to-do list down here is to get the
rake and hoe and us to go ahead and make our hills or rows to cover the drip
irrigation pipe tape
any of you that have been a longtime viewer of our channel or anything of the
sort no we are not into clickbait we're not
into the kitchens just to get you to click on our video but what I've just
discovered discovered this by pure luck but you got to see this we are down here
today creating furrows and bearing our drip irrigation tape it has been rainy
our soul is clumpy and muddy and sticky and it's a mess we would never want to
do this if we had a choice but we don't have a choice
so we decided to get our lazy boy rear tine tiller out no old one and these are
from 70s or something and I was going between the rows and I was busting up
the ground as best I could so that Angela could follow me with a
rake or a hoe or anything of the sort and build our furrows over the drip tape
I got to the end of one of these lines and I had to go in reverse because the
fence was kind of close and you know this is kind of a long tiller well I
left the tines going popped it in Reverse started to go back and then I
realized what was happening it was tilling that ground perfect and it was
throwing a lot of the excess over the side right on top of that drip tape I
didn't know if it was a fluke or not so I decided to move it over to another
area and yes it's reproducible so if you have until
'like this that the tines rotate forward and the wheels are in the front you know
it's a standard rear tine tiller if you put it in reverse what you've got are
the tines going one way the tires going another and they're fighting each other
and otherwise just hanging out until in the dirt wonderfully not to mention it
throws dirt over to the side and creates a furrow
okay so that's the jabber part let me roll the footage and let you guys see
this in action because seriously it is awesome
I say you guys what figuring out that really cool trick with that tiller Wow
hopefully you thought that was cool as I did I mean I'm sure it wasn't like as
earth-shattering for you as it was for me because you're not out here trying to
bust it in the mud with an old tiller but if you have a rear tine tiller that
is not a counter-rotating time I think they make those then that is a hack that
will allow you to get furrows or nothing else just really till that ground super
smooth check it out and give it a shot the first four rows in our garden are
sweet corn specifically temptress sweet corn it
says to do spacing about six to eight inches apart or on a row and then thirty
inches between rows we decided to do like a little zigzag method we did use a
large stick that we found down in the garden just to poke the holes about an
inch deep it makes it a lot easier than going through with your finger and
trying to push it in so after that mm we put the seeds in the holes then I'm
going to go through with a rake and just lightly rake over to cover the seeds up
somebody's got an Amazon addiction when the UPS brings a freight truck down your
road probably on the farm I want to introduce you all to a planter gardeners
people like us best friend mr. pipe this pipe here is five feet yeah it's almost
as tall as me fun size this is great for planting
seeds like corn seeds big stuff so you got your corns in your hand put the pipe
in your pre-defined hole and drop a seed down move it
drop a seed move drop a seed this saves your back in fact there's a video on our
channel a very old video four years old five years don't know why I did this
exact same thing I'll put a link to that video down below if you want to see a
hideous creation of video from us four to five years ago but I stood behind it
then I stand behind it now this is a different pipe so I've upgraded
Peck's nothing but the best up next are some momentum bush beans this will be
our first year ever growing bush beans we've only ever done the vining climbing
type these get planted one inch deep on a three to four inch spacing and three
foot Rose Center we're going to do the exact same thing with the bush beans
that we did with the corn as far as doing a zigzag line straddling the
irrigation drip tape
we went up to the house and took a little lunch break and angel and the
boys decided to stay up there she's got some things she wants to work on so I'm
back down here and I want to see if I can finish planting the rest of our pole
beans where we plan ourselves some Kentucky blue pole beans next we're two
rows of these guys we've never grown these before so we're
not sure one if we like them or to how well they do or not so we figure two
rows is enough to where if it's great we got enough and if it's horrible we don't
have too much these guys are gonna get the same zigzag alternating double row
planting type thing so yeah let's go get my poles poke some holes in the ground
drop some sees through the pipes and cover them back up
all right I got something special for you guys here brown-bag special these
are local greasy beans right here from the southern Appalachian Mountains and
they're our favorite green beans look it's a little shot of the bean here they
are large when they are dry they are white but mmm tail out these and tasty
means if you've never had greasy you got to find some maybe sure real nice
maybe we'll send you some will say where I see from this year
maybe we'll send you some go say please but anyway so these are really good good
green beans they are work you got to string them they are work to pick and
everything but worth it in our book I got two rows of this so let's get going
here comes my sidekick Elijah didn't want to stay up at the house he is
coming down to help
ready to work yeah rock you're just in time
the greasy beans okay hey I'm gonna get your pit only give the guys over Hoss
tools a big thank you for helping us figure out what we needed down here
irrigation wise getting the setup if you all are not familiar with Hoss tools
please go check them out there's a link down below it's gonna look like an
affiliate link and it's not that way because we're getting a kickback or
money because you're going there and burning like that it's so that they are
able to see where people come to their website from and that'll show them that
you all our viewers are some pretty cool people clicking links and checking out
things so if you don't mine go over there see what they got they have a lot
of stuff from seeds to garden tools to irrigation to hats and harvest buckets
and vegetable totes a lot of really cool stuff so if you don't mind you swing by
and check it out we would greatly appreciate it and I know they would to
their small us a business based out of Georgia and they are doing things right
on there in by making things in the USA so in our book we're gonna do our part
to help them and be great if you guys would too
I have got a bag here of plant markers these things are nice they're big so
we're gonna go ahead and label these and stick them in these rows so we don't
forget what's been planted there and also to have a visual reminder that that
stuff's been planted don't go a touch it
I must say it feels pretty good have this stuff finally in the ground we've
got our four rows of corn our one row of bush beans two rows of Kentucky blue
pole beans and two rows of greasy now we are definitely not done planting down
here and we still an out of the woodwork but we've got this much done great
accomplishment for today and we got really lucky that we didn't get any rain
well I clean up my stuff down here we'll go up and see angel at the house I am
back now we have all of our green beans in the dirt listen hopefully I did good
enough and inspector-general wasn't down there so it was a squirrel that totally
did it so we've got all sorts of stuff planted down there now
thank goodness we have our temperature sweet corn four rows of that you better
be ready for some corny time ahead I'm good with that and then we've got row of
bush beans first time I ever growing that so we didn't do a whole lot they
felt like we put a bajillion seeds in the ground so oh yeah they did great and
they enjoyed it and then two more rows of a pole bean that I can't remove the
name of but I will have already mentioned it and then the two rows of
our greasy greasy beans yeah tell everyone of all the stuff planted what
is your favorite and why the Gracie means are my favorite
there are Appalachian variety that they don't have a fuzzy coating on them so
they're kind of shiny looking and they look greasy so I don't know if they're
just delicious and that's one of our favorite to can or just oh yeah yeah
they are a being that has to be strung so there are strings in them and they
also have large white beans inside but they're really good to eat to like eat
them fresh and green not like dry them yeah
well guys thanks for watching leave us a comment we love to read them even if we
don't get to comment back to all of them and we will see you guys next time on
the homestead but by
