Setting Up Our Sweet Pea Trellising! Garden Answer Karen: I love this video! On May 28th, 1937 My Mom and Dad were married at their parents farm; in the living room. Their best friends stood up for them with both sets of parents there with the Pastor and Wife. Mom had a diary. In it she shares she went out to the end of the porch and picked Sweet Peas for her Wedding bouquet and flowers around the house. After their vows were said all their friends and cousins and neighbors came to the farm for a potluck dinner. Mom always shared when she used her cabbage and potatoe grater that this 25 cent item her cousin gave her was the most used wedding gift! and she gave me one with a rolling pen at my wedding shower in 1969. She always had her sweet peas growing at our house all through the years. Dad passed away when he was 75 and she at 88. A rich God centered marriage that was blessed with 8 children, I am #5, and 25 grandkids; but now our family is well over 100. Keep growing them. I am going to try in SC too. You are always a blessing and helpful! HUGS!

Love how the garden and trees pop against the black background! I think it would finish it off beautifully if the t-posts were painted black too. Wishing you many beautiful sweet peas to bless many people! I too give away many bouquets and I feel blessed to have the flowers to do it. I rarely have a bouquet on my table for very long, as I often grab that one as I'm leaving the house (there's always someone who needs it more than I do.

gardenanswer I have an honest question for you Laura. Don't you ache? Like, you carry stuff all around and you kneel and you walk around and you prune and you plant and you pot and. Don't you get physically tired? What's your secret? I literally just pruned 3 lavender bushes and every inch of my body is screaming in pain. M not that old, m just 29. I need to know your secret to be so strong and work so much all day every day.

Have you ever thought about arching them between the two rows and planting at the end of them. That would be taller. I like your idea for my cukes and peas. I don't have as many as you. lol Aaron building up the biceps. They do make a motorized one I have seen some of the homesteaders use for the poles. As much as you all take them in and out it might serve him to get one. They say it is money well spent.

Hi Laura and Aaron! This was interesting to watch. I love the look of the black fence, but won't it look dirty all the time from the wind blowing the dirt all the time? I'm surprised that you didn't raise the cattle panels up like you did for the dahlias. Jess at Roots and Refuge Farm made trellis's out of the cattle panels. It looked pretty good. Thank you for sharing!

Have you ever watched Living Traditions Homestead? Not only are Kevin and Sara very interesting but they own a gas operated metal post driver that sets the post very rapidly. It would be perfect for Aaron when setting all the post in your garden. If interested their video is called We're building a chicken moat to keep them out (meaning the deer.

If I could offer a suggestion on the zip ties. We used to zip tie a Cooloroo sun shade screen by our deck. The wind used to blow it over in a big windstorms. We had to go with heavy duty zip ties and they lasted a year. With all of the plants on the panels it may get blown over in one of your hum dinger wind storms you get on a regular basis.

Everything looks amazing! Ive been wanting to ask you about the PW berried treasure strawberry seeds that you planted a long time ago, how did they do? I planted mine as they indicated (3 weeks in freezer before planting) and only had a few that germinated: ( could you give us an update on those seeds? Thanks!

Did Aaron need some Ibuprofen after doing those T posts? Since I'm sure that it won't be his last, check out Kevin and Sarah at Living Traditions Homestead. They had some sort of powered post tamper when they were fencing in their orchard- really cool and saves the muscles.

A persimmon tree would grow nice in your new orchard their hardy 4 through 9 and they produce fruit in the fall but you'll need a male and a female i think to get the most fruit out of them although I used to have one at my old house and the fruit was really tasty
