We Expanded Our Garden! From Fall Cleanup to Summer Growth
Our biggest project lately hasn't been inside the house—it's been out in the garden! Come along as we clear and level the old yard, then take a summer tour of the expanded garden at Fountain Green Farmhouse.

The Expansion
We moved and added raised beds, rebuilt the deer fence, added irrigation and trellises, and made wider paths to make garden chores a little easier. In the video we share what's growing, what hasn't gone to plan, and what we're learning along the way.
Highlights from the Walkthrough
- A stronger deer fence to keep the harvest safe
- Raised beds with new irrigation
- Compost and our biochar experiment
- Two ways of growing potatoes
- Raspberries, blackberries, and starting over with grapes
- Corn, pumpkins, squash, peppers, and basil
- A fire pit and a place to simply enjoy the garden
A Quick Audio Note
We didn't realize Dustin's microphone wasn't working until after we'd recorded the walkthrough. We've cleaned up the sound as much as possible, but the volume is still uneven in places. Thanks for bearing with us!
