Let's Garden Up in TNP! Mrs Nutnfancy, dogness, and I show you the results of my long planned project in the Project: our garden. Everything is a system here and everything has a POU. I discuss both in detail and we launch, perhaps, into a new phase of TNP. For many reasons you should put in the work and time in having a garden, even a small one, to become more self sufficient.

That's discussed and then I show you the specifics of our above ground garden and its watering grid. I'll do a walk around with our mostly finished gardening system and it may give you some ideas on your plots.

It will depend of view votes how much "homesteading videos" I make but this is a fun and strong start!

Definitely gonna be checking this one out. Keep up the great work 👍

Charles Steimle

Looking forward to this!!!! Must tell you I haven’t been able to keep up with videos. I stay subscribed because I believe in your program and messages. 2 1/2 years ago we bailed on the city and started a farm, hence the lack of time to keep up, we love your content and watch when we can. This is on priority list!! Thanks man!!

Todd Strelka

This is great. It looks like great content. We all need gardens. I remember my childhood with a garden in our back yard in Maine. My grandfather helped us cultivate it and get a great yield of food each growing season since he was a retired farmer.

Bravo

As a guy who grew up country, hates big government and who is very into self sufficiently. I would absolutely LOVE to see more homestead and garden content from TNP. Its all great to have all your gear and guns. But without food, when things go south…. You cant eat your guns and cool gear to survive. Food and water is AS important as anything else on the channel. It’s just not as sexy of a topic. And thats why some dudes aren’t so into it. That and because its hard work and some guys aren’t about that.

Good stuff. My neighborhood has 4 community gardens. No one owns a tractor though so it's all buckets and bags haha They provide the vegetables needed to cover the food banks for a few months. Donations are near zero, its getting bad. Putting together funds to get a green house started so we can extend the growing season, but when the freeze comes in winter months there's nothing we can do.

Stuart Z

Love it! Gardening will be core content, just like watches.

Ken Martins

This is helpful to me as well. Please keep the "Homesteading Channel" going.

Impala66

I’ve been watching your channel since I was 13 years old. You’ve helped to shape the way I care for my young family, and your edc teachings have ensured I was safe in a handful of potentially catastrophic moments sprinkled throughout my life. I have never had such excited chills up my spine for a new video topic. Not only does homesteading round out the practical attitude of the channel, but I believe your organized, consistent systems based approach is exactly what the YouTube homesteading genre is missing. I can guarantee I’ll be along for the ride on every one of these homesteading videos, and more than likely my wife will as well.

Ken Martins

In my area, bears are the issue. How to stop bears from raiding the garden.

Hold Fast Joe

another fun fact, the gardens in city grow far less because we can't get water. We would need to pay for a tap and meter. The gardens outside city limit we have well pumps operated by hand or power if you hook up a car/batteries. so those gardens outside the city are very large since they can operate on the cheap. Still have to pay those property taxes though! Oh boy, gotta pay that land rent..

PTL SCIENCE

Did you know - nutrition of our "fresh" fruits and veggies from the grocery store has all but disappeared because of soil depletion and hybridization for yield instead of flavor and nutrition? For example, you would have to eat 8 oranges to get the same amount of vitamin A that was in one orange 50 years ago. ref: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/. The only way to get nutritious food is go grow your own - adding calcuim and Azomite powder to your soil. Garden like your life depends on it :)

Act accordingly! 👍👍☺️

Hey all, I got a solar powered hydroponics system hooked up to my rain barrel and it makes things super easy to water my garden with a busy work/family life

The Late Boy Scout

Great job on the setup and the video. I'll get around to setting up my garden eventually. We have a good amount of backyard space, with lots of sun and good wind protection that we can utilize. it's just a matter of time before we build it out, and start growing. Already got the chickens, though. We're 3 years in with that operation, and it's running smoothly—probably going to expand it. If I had enough land, I'd keep bees, pigs, goats... the whole deal.

TechNeck

Haze them off... Or put up extensive HD tin fences they cant cimb or push over. Ive heard of some guys trying stinging plants around the garden they have to push through...

Tacticaldoodle

Still got plenty of dang chickens whenever you want ‘em! They might help till that soil a bit

Tacticaldoodle

This is one of those haunting things you never really stop thinking about. Always comes to mind when I look at what we have out there. I do wonder if they ever accounted for where they’re grown though - 100 years ago they weren’t loading up nitrogen-purged freighters full of bananas from chile to be sold in a Kansas grocery store

2026-09-15 18:00 This is great. We had a rough night on our homestead. Lost 36/66 meatbirds. It was their first day on pasture, had a t storm roll in and they freaked out and ran to the fence, where they got stuck. Rain, cooler temps at night and an e fence were not a good combination for them. We did get our garden planted though.

Yep, wife and I have had gardens for over 3 decades. She cans tomatoes, beets, applesauce, makes zucchini bread and relish. I make pickles. Water your plants at soil level, most don't like wet leaves. Put bone meal in your holes for tomatoes, cucumbers and squash.

Andrettski

I forgot to mention the 'Apeel' coating they're putting on fruits and veggies now, NOT good. They are trying to cover up that Billiam Gaytes is behind it, I'm calling BS.

Kyle weyerbacher

Great video Nutn. I like this system in TNP. Growing up on a farm I take for granted things like gardening. It’s a skill just like anything else. Don’t wait until you really need it to try and learn how to grow food. It’s a lifestyle for sure.

Ryan Jones

I like the do what you can. I live in a small suburb and it has a postage stamp yard. Easy to maintain, but forget about a huge garden. So 5 gallon buckets, move em around couple plants in each. Been experimenting for a couple years now. Got a mobile garden and have been getting ok results. Every year experiment with something new. Love it.

Mark Higginson

I prefer to feed the local fauna with my fruit trees. They will eat unripe fruit instead of waiting for it to ripen up.

Zack Harris

Great vid on self reliance today! Suburban box n patio gardens here but “share crop” a large rural garden w in-laws. Micro orchard for some fruit trees and even tap our own maple syrup in winter, Barter for eggs, etc. Planting and tending is work but team effort n hours of hard work really begins at harvest and storages. So many mason jars! 😂

Joooosh

Great video! Hoping for more homestead videos in the future

Gilbert Cuzdey Jr

We moved out of the suburbs back in 2021, got a 7 acre property and started our little homestead. I split the garden onto two sections, raised bed and the field where we plant in ground. Raised beds are only about 8 inches deep but I used cinder blocks and logs from trees I cut down to make them. I put up a similar fence to keep the chickens out and did the same thing with the gate. I just bought a chain link gate from home depot and attached it to T posts. The raised bed uses drip irrigation and micro sprinklers while the field uses soaker hoses, both systems are on timers connected to the well. We've been growing a canning a ton, strawberry jam, apple butter, pepper jelly, candied jalapenos, mayonnaise, peanut butter, water glassing eggs, growing corn, potatoes onions, sweet potato, peas, squash etc. We've also planted fruit trees and berry bushes. You'd love our little set up.

From Garand thumb to Green thumb.

Living on 40 acres in NoAz, its hard, its good and its honest. Hands in dirt. Chop wood and carry water. This would be a excellent supplement to your Life videos.

Nate Berglund

I would love to see more gardening/self reliance content! With all the globalist/leftist crap going on it is more important than ever to be less reliant on the system. Personally I don't have the time to watch (pun intended) another WRV. But I will find time to watch content that helps me and provides inspiration to become more self reliant. Don't be a sheep. Trust God. Be self reliant. Suck less and do better! God bless.

Derek W Tiller

I once lived near a little old Italian lady who had the most amazing garden. But her tomatoes she insisted on growing them in five gallon buckets that she would put in her driveway. She would put a bunch of rocks on the bottom and then fill the rest up with a sandy soil mixed with pine needles. To this day I have never had a more delicious tasting tomato than those!

TechNeck

They are looking to indroduce vacines into produce... there are patents pending and scientists are trying... they arnt there yet, but this is a muiltinational push... one of my employers who is building huge hydroponic farms was aproached by the canadain gov about this. When he politly said fuck off... the CRA .. the next day... audited all his companys and by end of day had jugments for almost 1 million in tax owing... but heres the thing... the judgment was against his numbered company that holds his patents... a company that doesnt even have a bank account or deal with any money... soley to hold the patents to shield them from potential lawsuites, and shieldmhis operational companies from lawsuites attacking the patents (law warfare). They told him if he declares bankruptcy (and releases the patents) the bill goes away.... Food is the next war on humanity... the canadain army just went door to door, "practising" and one of the wellness check questions was " do you have a garden?"

Chris Marchi

Potatoes my man potatoes. You can make moonshine out of them too.

"Got a mobile garden and have been getting ok results. Every year experiment with something new. Love it." Well done Ryan. That's what you do: use the space and resources you have, anything's better than nothing.

Seeker Keyl

The ladies in the house largely handle garden work in our house, but out in rural PA we are good in the ground. Plants are started inside around the end of February so that when the end of April comes 'round they can be transferred outside after the last frost. We go almost entirely off seeds since as you say buying the plants themselves is incredibly expensive. Another tip, we keep food waste separate to mix into the garden. Not just plant based food (although that's what it is mostly) but animal based as well. If you can swing it, that is a good way we have found to keep a variety of nutrients in the soil. Then at the end of a cycle, we'll put in some targetted fertilizer based on what we're growing to fill any nutrition gaps. That said, it's a lot of work, preparation and maintenance both.

BadgerTails

LIKE # 48: AeroGardens, check them out for your lettuce and other greens. STACK your rice and beans, BUT grow your own tomatoes/garlic/greens: make your own pesto that goes into gallon Ziploc bags and into the freezer; flavors your rice/ beans/venison dish into TASTY!!! Plant marigolds around your gardens; natural pesticide, then dead head them in the Fall, put those dead heads into window sills, and they're STILL pesticides! Mk1 Mod WIFEY #1!!! Mk2 Mt dog rockin the patrols! Yes, free rang chxns also EAT bugs like ground vipers!

TechNeck

Before those stawbery bushes get to big you should move them.... run them down one side (they run creepers like vines so if they are easier to control on a edge and its eassier to hunt for and find the berries as they rippen) if you plant them about a foot away from the edge, they should survive winter with no intervention... space them out a bit more so you can let the creeper shoot become new plants inbetween the mother plants.... in 3 years the long edge of your garden will be making a couple icecream pails worth of strawberies each summer.

Mike S

Very happy to see this topic being covered by you! This is an awesome video!

Tacticaldoodle

I wonder if we should make some of those stacked potato boxes. I've been meaning to make them for a wlong time but nobody's excited about them so I keep putting it off.....hard to keep stuff alive when you're the only guy watering it! They seem real space efficient though

Sheepdog

Very cool. We also just created our raised bed vegetable & fruit garden this spring. Like Mrs. Nutnfancy, my wife is also the primary gardener in the family. I'm the primary labor for building the garden fence, the raised beds and trellis. As Nutn' mentioned, it's a ton of work, but it will pay off in many ways. My wife mixed in flowers with the food plants as the flowers draw pollinators. We did it for all the reasons Nutn' discusses in the video.

Scott Dunn

Love the variety of content!

Mobius 1

My mom and my brother are JUST NOW working on building a few garden boxes when this pops up! Gotta love it.

Phil H

Always love these series and POUs. Currently watching Nutns water storage video since I live in Las Vegas and would be totally screwed if shtf

TechNeck

Even if you arent drinking it yourself, the barter value on alcohol is very high

Wyoming Homesteader

I know its hard to believe but I have a bit of experience with gardens in WY, lol. Because of the altitude, poor soil, direct sun, lack of water/humidity, and unpredictable weather it can be challenging here in WY. One thing a lot of the state gets is summertime hail that will tear plants to pieces. Combine that with a short growing season and intense direct sunlight and some plants have a difficult time. With raised beds you generally won't have to worry about the soil to much except the PH can make or break it here. the best thing to do for an outdoor garden and plants that can't handle the sun and heat is start them inside here is a partial list of veggies that like cooler weather. broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, English peas, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, mustard greens, radishes, spinach, turnips, beets, carrots, cauliflower, celery, Chinese cabbage, endive, Irish potatoes, lettuce, radicchio, rutabaga, Swiss chard. Then move them out before the temp is to high. For a wind break I use fruit trees and bushes. To avoid a lot of these issues I have a summer field to have some outdoors crops then use aquaculture in a large green house. This gives me fresh fish and veggies all year round.

James Lawson

We are trying this year for the first potatoes in 5gallon containers

Matt

Excellent topic. Look forward to more updates! Keep up the preparedness content.

Bluegill097

Great content, I desperately wish I could start a garden.

Randy Hendershot

Love your planters, but my wife would scream at me. She is not crazy about 5 gal buckets, but they are better than nothing. Cannot recommend Seed Savers Exchange, Decorah, Iowa highly enough.

Randy Hendershot

Forgot, canning is initially daunting, but all it really requires is the Ball Canning book, a timer, hardware, and attention to detail. Read the book, watch some YT, and success will result. Once canned, your vegetables will laugh at power failures. Have you noticed that all the modern electric appliances will fail w/in 5-7 years? Talk to your repairman and get the skinny. Planned obsolescence.

Matt Jantz

Started a similar system this year. Went with an above ground system with automatic irrigation. So far, so good.

Publius Cato

Great content, keep it up. The new Mrs. and I upgraded our garden system this year, too. Several hot peppers, tomatoes, squash, beets, peas, okra, etc. A GREAT way for people to get started is to grow some herbs like cilantro, basil, rosemary, thyme, etc. They grow super easy, even indoors or in an apartment - and they quickly provide the positive feedback of gardening. It's a great feeling to clip some basil or rosemary off your plant while cooking dinner. Before long - you'll want to grow more stuff!!

Publius Cato

^-- Not a bear expert, but aren't there simple things you can put on the ground they hate to walk on? Perhaps even just some cattle gate roller thinger-dingers?

John K Stankiewicz

Please continue the series Nutn. My wife and I put in a 10×20 garden this year. We'd done some containers the past couple years but were wanting to give a inground try. Getting ready to plant tomorrow and fixing up a troybilt horse my parents bought back in the 70s.

JFire

Good vid Nutn, this is something that I think is very overlooked by many. Myself included.

Ross Williams

Like Nutn recognizes, don't expect to throw a few plants in the ground when SHTF and expect to eat! Gardening is HARD! You need at LEAST 5 years of practice before you start seeing results. Learn now while you still got the time! For Tomatoes, do the Florida Weave with a few T-posts. Easiest way to do it!

Ross Williams

Boise ID reporting in. Where's the taters?!

Justin Golden

I greatly expanded our gardening efforts this year from just three or four large pots last year to literally dozens of plants. What I really need now is a good system to produce LOTS of compost. I highly recommend David the Good on YouTube. Currently thinking about adding a few laying hens, and possibly rabbits for meat production.

Justin Golden

No kidding! Sweet potatoes take, I think, about 85 days to harvest, and the sunchokes I planted won't be ready until first frost!

david rockwell

Small gardening in 2024 economics is not feasible long-term from myopic dollars spent versus dollars returned. What does yield a return is the experience, confidence, spirituality, and reduced reliance on corporations/people that want to kill you. I travelled to an intensive gardening class ten years previous. While not breaking even from money expended over the years with small scale gardening, a finite percentage of food consumed I directly produced (with grace of God) offers something greater. Get off the couch and get your hands dirty now. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication.

Lee Harrell [W5GCF]

This is fantastic! Please post more. Found that I YT unsubscribed me from the B channel again - 2nd time this year.
