I've been growing a vegetable garden and trying to be more self sufficient. In this video I show the total harvest amounts from this summer and cook lots of food from the garden.

When Alex said he said he wanted some butter with his corn I was 100% sure the next line was going to be "so I bought some cows".

The people comparing homegrown tomatoes to supermarket ones speak about the big ones. Cherry tomatoes usually come with a pretty hard peel already, but homegrown heirloom tomatoes are soft and juicy and won't survive transport, supermarket tomatoes are hardy at the expense of flavor.

Thank you Alex's parents for letting him make this great content and informational stories.

Your character literally embodies how I would love my children to become when they grow up. The appreciation of the smaller things of life, is just reflecting in pure joy in everything you do.

I love how you are able to fully communicate the gardening experience. Highs, lows, challenges, failures, successes, and of course, all the various rewards. It was such a pleasure to watch you share some of your journey. Hopefully your transition to the new place will be smooth and that you settle in quickly. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to share with us in the future. Exciting times. ☺

You're probably doing this, but it wasn't showed on the video so I wanted to make sure: Do you know to dig in the soil under and around the potato plants, to look for more potatoes? Not just what comes up when you pull the plant. It's like a treasure hunt. :)

Whenever Alex posts a video, I get this sudden rush of joy and happiness.

Just a small "top tip" if you decide to prepare corn in the future ( that helped me). Chop the tops and bottom ends of the corn off but leave the husk on, you can then microwave the corn ( depending on the size and how many) for about 8-10min and the corn steams itself in its own skin making the flavor a bit better and less time and water wasted. I didn't learn this until I was in my 20's, and of course you don't have to do it...I just thought it may be a good experiment to try in the future. Love watching your videos, so educational and so motivating to watch. ❤

What do you want for your birthday son? A bucket made of a certain material he reply's. Lol. The present a man should get is what he asked for. He did not just ask for a bucket, but he clearly said tin or metal bucket. And he got just that and was happy.

just a small piece of advice for your potatoes next year: washing them actually severely cuts down on how long they store, so if you want to store them for several months through autumn and winter, lay them out to dry for a couple days, but don't brush or wash off the dirt. and try to harvest them after a few days of no rain so that there isn't any wet soil clumping and clinging to the potatoes.

So so happy to know that you can now afford to move out ! Can't wait for the next videos where you will be able to go full berserk without annoying your lovely, supportive parents :)

I am a sustainability educator and gardener myself, and I am absolutely obsessed with your content. Your enthusiasm and appreciation for each of these little babies is fascinating!

Just a tip from an Aussie with a garden, in really hot weather water at night, that way the soil doesn’t dry before the plants have time to drink and often in the morning the soil is still wet to get them through the heat 😊

Alex, you're an true inspiration. So proud of how much you've learnt and achieved since setting up your own channel. Big respect. I've thoroughly enjoyed every upload. Keep them coming mate 👍🏻💪🏻

I love your content and I wish this can be one day with my little garden. It's so unfair how I want to simply binge your videos everyday but there's always such a long wait between videos (understandably as crops take a long time to grow and prosper!) . Great job Alex!

I loved everything but especially you wanting to learn how to plait so you can braid your onions and you absolutely nailed it!! You can do hair now and everything!! You'd be amazed at all the things you could do once you mastered the braid!!❤❤❤❤
