Building a New Garden | Cleaning Up The Farm

We have been working on trying to establish where our garden is going to go this year and decided to go ahead and put it where the old barn was. We are going to be fencing in the entire area to help keep out our chickens and any other animals.

DISCLAIMER: My husband and I recently bought a neglected 34-acre farm with several barns, buildings, and a two-story farmhouse. Our plans are to restore the farm and farmhouse to its former glory all while adding our own individual style and design. We decided to vlog the entire renovation process for our own personal records and for future generations. We are in no way experts in renovating nor do we claim to be professionals. All Lewis Acres Homestead videos are for entertainment purposes only. We recommend you always consult professional experts when completing any home renovations and wear proper protective gear.

I am not a professional I am only sharing what I have learned and my opinion.

Love what you do! Its wonderful that you dont completely dismantle the story of your homestead. I love the old barn blocks/rock walls/edges that you left. They enclosed your garden. Perfect for flower pots and planting possibilities. It will give your garden such a cottagy character!

I love finding history like the arrow head--really puts into perspective how our own lives are just small pieces of a long story!

[angelahardman]

That was a good find. (Arrow head) It's a wonder that your equipment didn't break it.

Arrowhead is so amazing, looked intact too! How exciting to find historical treasures. Sites of old homestead outhouses are great historical treasure sites. They always threw old bottles, china etc down in them and later moved to new site and repeated. Some old tools and gadgets to look for there! Great looking spot for garden, soil is going to be organic and rich for sure! Happy spring to you both. Dogs are so cute, love those herding dogs/ ranch dogs. Stay well and best of luck with the garden. God bless!

What about planting sunflowers along that concrete wall where the two wheel chase is all the way to the driveway

I love watching your and Ben's vision coming to life. Look at all you guys have accomplished from day 1. Love a picket fence. I hope you also keep a journal for you and to leave as a legacy for your family.

I love your vision for the garden...lots of hard work...somehow, I think you are loving this farm life you and your husband are doing

[celticlassie]

Wow what a find on the arrow head. Looking forward to seeing your garden progress. I finally have a garden space this year. We are currently in the process of reclaiming the land for it and I’m so excited.

I’m new to your channel and just love what you and your husband are doing on your farm.
And I’m in love with your kitchen, 🤌🏻Keep up the excellent work! I think the barn blocks are good to keep. Not sure if it’s really windy in that spot, but they can help retain some heat and provide some protection for plantings. You should enclose it on both ends (with rock or the picket fence you mentioned)and have a gate going into it. And fence in the rest for the corn or whatever else. A big garden with separate rooms so to say… LOL! So many possibilities! But I love the block wall, it just gives off wonderful character. Cheers from Kansas!👋
