The Cabbage & Weeds Episode | Mini Garden Tour

Hey friends! It’s Rachel from That 1870s Homestead, and today we’re diving into some hands-on gardening! 🌿🌱 Join me as I take you on a quick tour of my garden and share some important updates and lessons learned. With the 4th of July weekend approaching, I’m busy harvesting my green cabbage to prevent those dreaded split heads. I’ll show you both the successes and challenges I’ve faced, including a few cabbages that might have had an unexpected visitor! 🐇

We’ll explore my favorite weed management techniques, like using the “chop and drop” method to turn those pesky weeds into beneficial mulch. I’ll talk about battling crabgrass in my pepper and wheat patches, and how effective a good weed barrier can be in keeping things under control.

You’ll also get to see how my other crops are doing—from zucchini and kale to onions and celery—and learn how I manage them all. I’ve got some tips on dealing with early onion softening and strategies for keeping your tomato and green bean plants thriving with proper trellis management.

As I navigate this new chapter of post-retirement life, gardening has become more fulfilling and busy than ever. I’m excited to share my experiences and methods with you, and I can’t wait to hear your tips and stories in the comments. Whether it’s pest management or innovative gardening techniques, let’s learn and grow together! 🌸🌻

Don’t forget to stick around till the end for some fun and practical garden updates. Happy gardening and see you in the next video! 👩‍🌾🌞
