Country music star Blake Shelton recently provided fans with a glimpse into his life on his Oklahoma ranch alongside his wife, singer Gwen Stefani. The couple, who wed in July 2021 at their expansive Tishomingo property, are gearing up for the spring season with ambitious plans for a vegetable garden. Shelton’s enthusiasm for their farming endeavours was showcased in a lively Instagram Reel posted on 4 March.
In the video, the 49-year-old singer introduces viewers to his ranch, saying, “Hey guys, it’s Blake Shelton coming at you from Oklahoma. Getting close to springtime.” He goes on to showcase his trusty orange Kubota tractor, an essential tool for their agricultural pursuits.
Shelton then transitions to a section of the property where he has laid out long black tarps across the ground. With characteristic humour, he explains that he and Stefani, 56, are embarking on serious gardening efforts this year. “We’re going to do some professional gardening, farming type stuff on the property,” he declares.
Reflecting on their recent efforts, he tells followers about their hard work, remarking, “Just she and I, nobody else.” He admits that the endeavour isn’t easy, but adds, “We’re going to plant vegetables in here to keep the weeds out.” Shelton outlines their plans to grow tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers, interspersing his discussion with anecdotes from his family that highlight his humorous take on gardening.
One amusing story involves his stepfather’s derisive comment about cucumbers, which Shelton lightheartedly recounts: “My stepdad used to always say cucumbers aren’t good for anything but a d–k on a snowman, but we’re going to plant some anyway.” Despite his admission that he doesn’t eat vegetables, his commitment to the garden remains strong.
Moving to another area of the ranch, Shelton shares his excitement about an essential crop for the upcoming season. “This is going to be my sweet corn patch this year,” he announces, adding that he’s already begun preparing the soil for planting. He expresses enthusiasm for the arrival of spring by singing a cheerful jingle about his farming activities: “Well I rolled out the plastic like a big black cobra, now I’m tilling up the ground on my orange Kubota.”
In the accompanying caption to the video, Shelton articulates his anticipation for the changes they are implementing on the property, tagging Stefani’s Instagram handle and exclaiming, “We’re doing it.. we’re really doing it this year… @gwenstefani and I are stepping it up!!!!”
Shelton and Stefani’s connection dates back to their time as coaches on the television show The Voice in 2014. Since then, they have built a shared life together, with their ranch serving as a cherished backdrop for their love story. The couple exchanged vows in a charming chapel on the grounds of their property, solidifying the location’s significance in their relationship.
In a separate interview for the spring/summer issue of NYLON Print, Stefani shared her thoughts on rural life in Oklahoma. Shelton took the opportunity to compliment his wife’s gardening skills, stating, “Gwen has an incredible sense for planting things: how to grow them and, once it’s growing, how to cultivate it, and when to prune something.” This admiration showcases not only their partnership but also their individual strengths in managing their farm.
While Shelton is inclined towards larger scale farming, focusing on crops like corn and beans, it is clear that Stefani prefers working on smaller patches, yielding impressive results. He also revealed that she has her own tractor, highlighting his support for her aspirations to cultivate her own plot on the ranch.
As they prepare for the warmer months ahead, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s dedication to their farming pursuits reflects a commitment to both their relationship and their lifestyle. With their passion for agriculture blossoming, the Tishomingo ranch will undoubtedly continue to flourish in the years to come.
