UPDATE: EARLY PUMPKINS + GARDEN CARTS

Hello everyone, welcome back to the garden. Uh, things are kind of coming to a close here. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be out of town for a while in September and I'm gonna be starting to clean up the garden very soon So I've kind of let everything just kind of go to seed so I can collect first I wanted to say thank you. This video is sponsored by VIVOR, VIVOR again They sent me this garden cart and this is actually something I've really really really been needing So I'm actually quite thankful for this In my old backyard It was easy to carry buckets around but I'm telling you what lugging buckets and pumpkins and things around in this yard is Really strenuous. So I'm gonna put this together. It comes in this box. It comes in all of these pieces But alas I was ready to get this done comes with an instruction booklet and of course all of the hardware Everybody knows I love a big bag of hardware the instructions were illustrated instructions, which you guys know by now I love written instructions along with illustrations Please someone hire a technical writer for the instruction booklets. It's just it's so helpful Anyway, there's a list of different things you shouldn't do with this cart. Don't ride in it. Don't do this. Don't do that Definitely want to follow those the instructions appeared to be pretty clear I don't think I'm gonna have too much of a problem. First thing I had to do is put these two bed pieces together Easy peasy cheesy they give you a little wrench a little wrench in here like a furniture type wrench I just used like actual tools because it was so much easier. I was a half-inch Wrench socket, whatever. I don't know the names of tools I just know how to use them kind of barely everything appeared to be machined really well So it wasn't a problem tighten those down after I got those together I needed to put these kind of little I guess wheel base things on the side. They kind of do a dual purpose They're anchoring these two halves together as well as holding our axle here in a second I just put those in you know, four corners diagonal doot-doot-doot pretty simple self-explanatory Same with just nuts and washers again half-inch on those as well in Instructions accidentally put both of them on at first and I was like duh How am I gonna get the wheel like the wheel base in here? This doesn't make any sense. So I had to go back and back a little bit That was my own fault though, because I didn't read the instructions once I did that I was able to slide the axle after that. I was ready for the wheels I lubed those up a little bit. There was a little bit of a sticky something on on that But but come on free spinning. I'm gonna put some more stuff on there just a little bit Then I put the wheel on and our little pin thingy-majig to set the wheel and I bent my pin Obviously there was it there was an illustration for this But I mean if I hadn't already done this before previously on other items that own other wheeled items I I would have been a little bit clueless. This is something where Written instructions are really helpful, especially for people who have never done something like that before Anyway, then these little railings just slotted into the side Super easy there a few of them are different sizes for the front and the back and the sides and then they just clip with These little metal pieces really easy to you know slot in there and pretty secure too I was really surprised overall this thing seems really really sturdy. So I was really eager to get it out of the yard So what I did is I had decided to go into my pumpkin patch You might remember this pumpkin patch was looking really good for a long time But now that the season is kind of coming to a close a little bit The vines are starting to die back. It's just you know, I'm a no spray garden So I that's to be expected with squash bugs and cucumber beetles and things and as you can see most of them are already ripe So it's not really a big deal. I kind of prefer to just let nature take its course all of these vines Of course will be cleaned up So I'm not gonna try to you know, so I can avoid overwintering diseases and things like that But lots of big pumpkins so for this video I thought I would go ahead and pick some of these big pumpkins and a couple watermelons, too I think you'll see more of the watermelons in videos to come as I begin to clean up the garden I grew so many watermelons. I'm one person and for some reason I thought I needed 3,000 pounds of watermelons this season. Don't ask me why I don't know why I do the things I do also a few Few of these cantaloupes as well Overall, this cart seems to be working really well more than anything. I just kind of had fun driving it around the yard I had to borrow my dad's lawnmower. I don't have a riding lawnmower If I didn't have his lawnmower, I wouldn't be able to cut this grass in this yard I would just be I don't know I'd be lost the gardens looking a little bit weedy, too So just pretend like you don't see that Overall, I think this was awesome. I'm so thankful that they sent this to me They didn't pay me or nothing. This is my actual, you know, my real thoughts about it But I don't know. I thought it would be helpful to other people especially in the garden So you don't have to carry, you know 45 pound pumpkins back and forth to your car over and over and over and over which is what I was doing beforehand That's really about it for this video. I really appreciate you watching I know this was a short one and there wasn't much really going on This is you know, my first season in this yard and I didn't do a very good job of Keeping the content up on here on the channel. I apologize for that Just there were so many things going on and I'm trying to get the house fixed up and trying to you know Even get the garden turn this lawn into a garden. It was just a lot to take on and working three jobs I've been working three jobs to try to you know Get the ball going on renovations and things and I don't know. I'm a little bit overwhelmed I'm a little bit like what do I do now? But I appreciate you Thank you so much links to the blog and patreon and everything are down in the description below if you're interested If not, that's fine, too. No pressure. It's all good I hope that the weather is gorgeous wherever you are. You totally deserve it. You're awesome, and I will talk to y'all later. Bye
