Just a tip. I have been container gardening for years. I use olive drums cut in half. If you drill holes in the bottom of the containers, even if they are 1 inch , when you fill the container with soil and set it on the ground, the weight of the soil will not allow the water to drain properly. It presses down so hard on the ground that it does not drain good. I have found that it is best to cut a large hole, like 12 or 15 inches in the bottom then put in your dirt. Good luck, enjoy y’all’s videos.

I use regular gravel under mine, about 3 inches, and it works perfect. My Brother props his up with treated 4x4's. Either way, Ray, folks with just a LITTLE space can do it just fine, even for a couple tomatoes!

This is so true and I learned the hard way a drowned a few nice tomato plants. So I use 2x2 boards to keep them up off the ground over an area that has been weeded so no weeds or grass grow under the area.

And the best Dad ever award goes to Blue Gabe! ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the catfishing video. Brings back a lot of great memories I have with my dad. He always said that any fish with scales is bait for catfish. We went almost every weekend in the spring and summer in Texas. He passed away on November 8th at 86 years old. I miss him a lot. This video brought tears to my eyes. In a good way.

That look Crystal gave you at 26:57 when you drank out that blue cup that you poured tea in was priceless 😂 Looks like she was saying why in the hell are you drinking out my cup. I always look at her facial expressions when yall do something that ticks her off I crack up everytime😂

Hey Gabe...I grew a garden for 46 years in Kentucky. Our favorite was always Better Boy variety. Good sandwich tomato. Perfect in BLTs. Listen.....I've been watching your videos for years and I'm usually pretty quiet but I was also a single father of two kids. I want to tell you that I loved your videos with Kelly but I love who you are with Crystal. She is really good for you and those boys. You've changed for the better and I like seeing you do the father thing. I hope to get to meet you guys one day. Take care

You are the coolest dad and partner the boys and Crystal could hope for. Another great video. Thanks for sharing

My guess is the raccoons got the chickens. As a container gardener myself. I would recommend a drainage layer in the bottom before the soil crushed rock works but crushed plastic water bottles are lighter. Also one tomato plant per container as they will get huge there. Even in WY we only put one plant per container.40 is t shirt weather in WY try minus 30 F with a windchill of minus 48 F

Was thinking the same. I live in NH. It was 30°F where I live, during the "hottest" part of the day 😂

Perfect outing. Gabe just a regular old high water river fishing, bouncing between bends in the rio, fishing the eddy pools, capturing the eater sized catfish, Reality! Oh, Crystal, lil lady you ARE as Gabe said, an intensely focused angler. Your smile/expression goes from intense to immensely happy on every hook set. The boys are clearly well mannered, polite and they seem to bond well with ‘Miss Beachy”. I hope for you all, this bond becomes/remains a long term family bond.

Your boys are going to grow up to be great men, you have included them in everything you do and they sure do appreciate it. Love watching your videos. Chrystal will do fine with her raised containers and you all will be enjoying fresh veggies. Just a hint if you like radishes then plant them around some of your other planted veggies cause they will come up super fast and you will be eating them before the other veggies. Up here in Me. if it was 70 degrees we would be in shorts and tshirts. Thanks for taking us along.

Thank you very much!

Luke is such a great angler. I love watching him fish I love the way he sets that hook and reels them in. I dont think was a good as him at his age. Hes gonna be an even greater fisherman in 10 years. Much respect to his greatest teacher Blue Gabe.

Gabe build you a compost wheel. It’s two big wheels on either side of a drum, we made our drum from 4 drums to add grass clippings, and throw all your food scraps and coffee and tea grams in it and spin it around the yard and compost everything. We do all that composting and it really feeds our plants in raised beds for the whole growing season. I keep a few tomato and pepper plants going year round so I eat fresh veggies year round. I grew squash the whole time this year and even though slow growing they’re still alive and producing now. Raise your own meat chickens and feed them a lot of organic stuff as well and you’ll have mo kinds of organic stuff and not going to the grocery store and spending money.

You could have made some awesome catfish chowder using a block of cream cheese, 2 cups of milk, fresh catfish nuggets, taters, carrots, celery, onion, black pepper, garlic, and salt. It'll make your bottom lip slap your upper lip, it's so good.

Chrystal , my mom tried yellow tomatoes 🍅 for relief of acid reflux,it worked. The flavor was good as well.

Lmao. Goofy Lukie. He's at that age. I swear he's grown 6 inch in the last 2 months. Great content Gabe. The four of you absolutely deserve one another.

No lumps in the soup, good Job. Great family video. Nice see everybody spending time together.

Not even kidding Crystal, you look so nice in those bibs! (Course, I'm partial to "Country Gals.")

Even deeper works!

When you build the chicken cage you gotta run that chicken wire deeper in the ground so they can't dig under it. When we use to dog hunt we had around 20 beagles and we made our garden right next to our dog pens let the run off fertilize our garden we got the best veggies. I bet it's a bobcat they love chickens and turkeys great vide.

Love when the notifications pop up and says blue gabe... the caption is going just about how my day is going but I'm about to be cheered up with laughter by one of the best KZreadrs...

I’m at the ER but bluegabe keeps me in high spirits!

I bought a can cooker jr last spring for my dad to keep in the camper and it has changed how we cook in camp. It does the best shrimp and grits. It changes the game on fish stew. And we love it. Just because of this channel and deer meat for dinner. Thanks guys. Great product.

Thank you Gabe for this relaxing family video. It was so nice to see the boys catch so many catfish 😄😉. You and Crystal did awesome also. Your precious boys are so big now, and are intelligent, cute, funny, and very strong, and capable. I really love this video Gabe. Keep them coming Gabe, you have big fan in me. I've been a fan since you first started your channel. A big heart for each of you❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just love your videos Gabe. Thanks for sharing yourself, Crystal and the boys adventures.

Based on your recommendation I just bought a can cooker, it’s grill, and the griddle attachment in a $89 deal. Looking forward to trying it out and making food with it.

If you have issues with drowning the plants on the ones you drilled holes in you should add a layer of gravel and a weed barrier or cheeze cloth to help drain access water. Alot of times those holes will clog and turn your bed into a pool. So the cheese cloth will prevent the soil from clogging the gravel and the water will drain properly.

Boys are getting so big! The memories they will have to last a lifetime! Catfish for days!

Hey Gabe, this is a tip from an old guy that has raised chickens in the past. The first thing I want to say is good luck, Chickens live at the bottom of the food chain. What I mean by that is they will attract everything that likes to eat chicken. If you have no varmints around your place, just add chickens to the mix and you will have them all. Build a strong coop up off the ground with a good sized fenced in area for a run. Cover it with chicken wire or you will have hawks trying to get a snack. Then lock your chickens up at night. A good barking dog will be handy too

Yes the yellow ones are much sweeter. They go well with purple tomatoes,they off set each other and taste great with thinly sliced onion along with feta cheese mini squares. Yummy! I think you will like them.

Nice video Gabe, love seeing all the family together doing all sorts of things. Would love to be able to grow my own vegetables, I look forward to seeing how Crystal goes with that. 👍

He’s like “yeah he has” 😝 trying to keep cps off 🤣

I grew up hunting and fishing that river and still to this day continue but now with my son. Water is definitely up right more with all the rain

My mom did that with her tomatoes one year and the yellow ones got crossed pollinated with the cherry tomatoes, so she had little yellow cherry tomatoes. Lol

Christal, u r a natural!! Been watching blue gabe since day 1, and u make it fun!!

Good seeing you all I love your videos and to top it all off You are a super wonderful Father,just a great guy Thank you for posting post as many as you can please!

Better add a worm farm to that garden. Red wigglers and night crawlers. Luke could take care of them, to get over his fear of worms.😊

Can't wait for our trip to Horseshoe Lake in Arden Ontario. Common species are Pike,Large mouth bass, yellow perch, black crappie, blue gill, pumpkin seed, rainbow trout, and sockeye salmon. Going to be a blast

As a plant grower. I recommend starting a compost soil pile. That way you mix your amendments like manure into it to make potting soil. Don’t throw out used potting soil. Put it in compost pile and amend every year and reuse it.

My 8 year old son is absolutely in love with your channel. He would love to fish with you and your sons

I always like watching your videos for the adventures. Good luck on the garden & new motor.

All I got to say is you are a great father Blue Gabe.

Thank you for bringing me along, and the chicken and the fishing was awesome.

Any left over worms you can start a worm bed

I used to use shrimp as catfish bait and it works great. I know it is kind of expensive bait, but it stays on the hook much better than chicken liver. Jake was killing it with the big fish. I wanted Crystal to catch the biggest because she is my favorite.

You, Crystal and the boys are great together. I loved this video and all your adventures. I was just watching KZread about container gardening. My family is concerned and want to produce our own veggies/ fruits as well. I'll be watching and hope to see your garden in upcoming videos. Like Jake always say it's time to get the heck out of shape.

You said it was in the 70's, I'd be breaking a sweat. I run around in a Tee shirt when it' in the 40's, but I grew up where 70 to 80 is a hot summer day. 😂

we had a greenhouse frame that was no longer selling the cover for it, so it was just the metal frame, long as a truck, covered it in chicken wire and let loofah gourds grow on it and bitter melon (good for your blood) both very hardy on weather conditions and grow alot of food once it takes over. i got passion fruit vines that grow all over the chicken coop fense area, provides shade and helps keeps racoons out. may of been racoons that got in, they killed my chickens too few times. in TX

Hi Gabe, on your chicken pen dig a trench around it about 18 inches deep by 2ft,and lay your chuck pen wire mesh 2ft away from your pen and up the pens wall. Nothing will be able to dig under your chuck pen. It keeps them safe. Bob UK

Roasted shaved coconut 🥥 is one of my favorite snacks 😋

Gabrial, been waiting for this. I asked for some cat fishing awhile back, thank you. Do some at night if it's not too dangerous. EVERYTHING changes in the dark on water, I bet that would be a great video, especially with Crystal and the boys!

I was born in Miami. My parents are Canadian and woild say light the heaters, it gonna get into the 60's tonite. They said 60 in Fla was like 30 in Canada. I'm in Tennessee and it was -15 with 8 inches of snow a few weeks ago. I'll take 60 any time any where.

It hits 40 in MN we get the shorts out. Until it's negative whatever don't call it cold out.

Hey , Blue Gabe you ask how could it be possible that Luke caught all the big catfish well you need to remember who taught him everything he knows 😂 his dear old Dad . Two thumbs up for Luke Arrington good kid 💯❤️🙏🏻😇🙌🏻✌🏻💪🏻👍🏻😎

Hey blue y’all missed that big ol’ biggin just roll behind you in fram time frame 24:26 -27 Awesome video like always 👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

i did not believe it was possible for a woman to love fishing, be good at fishing and also extremely attractive. Gabes a legend on his own and him locking down Beachy just proves that

Thanks for taking your boys fishing, they will turn out to be decent human beings. The old PBS show that was called Southern Sportsman always said at the end of the show " Take a kid fishing"

Hey blue gabe. I live in western North Carolina. I live and breathe hunting and fishing. I grow apples for a living. I totally understand your concern with the insecticides and herbicides. It’s definitely not what it used to be. Gets harder every year for a farmer to make a living. Love everything youre doing and the way you’re raising your sons 👍🏻

On my farm here we have an acre of nothing but container garden. Y'all will be fine but check your soil a few times a year. We're market farmers and been doing this for 30 years. Our actual gardens we do the same.

Love it! Luke is getting so tall!

Fun fishing trip 👍👍 30:32

Gabe I’m sure you’re proud of Jake. He’s a fine and smart young man. I believe he has some sponsors? Pretty sure NLB sponsors him. The sponsors should be lining up because he does a good job of promoting his sponsor. And he catches the heck out of the fish with his NLB baits. EFC needs to sponsor him !

Yellow tomatoes are awesome, my Papa grew them because he had stomach issues. The yellow ones never bothered him.

Attach a 2 foot wide roll of chicken wire or fencing on the ground around your coop and stake it down to keep the critters from digging under it. Chicken coop 101

I just love your videos - but most of all, its a pleasure to watch those boys grow.....they are still a little childish and yet quite more "grown-up" than other kids at the same age 🇩🇰♥️🇺🇸.

You guys are catching dinner for a bunch of us. I’m in Ft laudable I’ll be in my way. lol

God bless you all Gabe, thanks for keeping it real ole son. Peace

Need to look at self watering beds. It will help when your away from home maybe water once a month

That's what you ought to build...a worm bed. $4 damn .50!!!!! outrageous.

Tell Beachy to put one of those crappie heads under each tomato plant. Mine get huge quick using fish as fertilizer. Love what y’all are doing. Tight lines!

Your videos Gabe are better than anything that’s on tv right now. Can’t beat good old school freshwater fishing with bait.

Man that normally happens when you have plans for something to go as plan then all sudden things change! Thanks for sharing another amazing video!! 🎣💯💫💫💫💫💫💫

Tip! Paint the white plastic drums black so the sunlight wont hit the roots. Great video Gabe!

I love days of catfishing like this! The wife calls to remind you that you are due home in 30 minutes. You tell her we just started catching them. I will call you when we are done! LOL

That joke with the 60hp was so awesome!

Good video Gabe!!!

@Bluegabe just a helpful tip, get some women’s stockings and cut the feet area out and stuff your chicken liver in it and tie a knot to make a liver ball and put it on your hook (will not come off) this way keeps you from having to keep putting bait on and after awhile just dip it back in the liver juices lol

I wish I was there with ya'll, I love to fish. Great job guys!

Memories for a lifetime.

Like the WKU sweat shirt!!

I think I got covid from licking my screen. That soup looooookkkksss delicious.

Add a couple of basil plants in those tomato beds, keeps away some pests and you can also harvest fresh leaves for cooking.

The last video cracked me up. We caught the fish the first day and didnt film like goofballs then went two days and didnt catch a thing. Thats fishin! 😂😂

I just love watching y'all.

Adding another 8'x3'on to my raised beds tomorrow. Zipper peas, pink eye purple hulls, green beans, habaneros, jalapenos, and tomatoes this year.

Another positive and fun video gabe with the family.i love to watch you and crystal interact and have fun with the boys and catch fish or hunt and clean and cook.

Baby sitting tomatoes is a kinda necessary. The small cherries less picky. Good luck. Great soil you bought for starters and feed em miracle grow regularly, twice as much as directions.

I have one of those stoves from Coleman that i have used for years in my deer blind. I love it.

That's so awesome Crystal's starting a garden! We had chickens for years in the midwest. We had to bury chicken wire a few inches down around the coop to keep the critters from eating them. Good luck!

Use old stockings to keep livers on the hook like you use mesh for roe for salmon

great family video, love it

i be so happy everytime you post a video. i want to go fishing so bad lol

BlueGabe blessings from Jamaica 🇯🇲

It is a great day when blue gabe uploads a video. Blue Gabe that was a wonderful video I would pay money to go on that trip with you.

Peachy is on point! It’s freezing. I understand I’m from Texas. Anything below 70 is cold!

What a relaxing arvo! That soup made me hungry.

Another great video, love watching Blue Gabe and Family!

That was a real fun watch right there.

Save those catfish carcasses for your garden.....great fertilizer.
