I love this year in review. Sorry about Pumpkin but Goldie is such a great momma. I have been watching you guys since living in the suburbs. Watching your family grow and thrive is so inspirational.

Oh no way, that feels like a long time ago!! Haha. Those were the rabbit and Finley days! 🤣🤣 THANK YOU for sticking with us! We hope to have a great year of CONSISTENCY!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great Video!! I'm 83, raised on a post depression homestead on the Palouse, Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho. Our farming techniques have destroyed the once abundant top soil; which at one time was as much as 50 feet thick. The, mostly, large corporate farms on the Palouse have been forced to adopt better farming techniques just to maintain the crop yield. Of course, as farming families, they are just as dependent upon the, "just in time," food supplies are we are in the city. All of that land and few gardens. In Your raised beds, I suggest You use the hugelkultur technique of filling Your beds.

It was fun and joy to watch your kids help 😊

You are the absolute best story teller!! And your narration voice is so perfect!!!

If you wrote a book I would love to hear it you talk so clear and maybe sounds weird but your voice is comforting and calming I absolutely love what your family has done in the past year I am going after this lifestyle

Hi Texans, I just found yawls channel so excited. I watch a lot of Texan channels on KZread. I am a four year gardener. so I feel that heat I feel that freeze everything. Are y’all doing rain catching this year in case we get another drought I’ve been doing barrels with me and the city I’m in Houston we had got that water restriction. We were only able to use water twice a week so I filled up plenty of 55 gallon barrels, so I can water water in those odd days…

Just found your channel, can't wait to see more! Especially your grazing plan and soil building. Yay!

Haha oh yes! As a Northern California (the true northern Cali) we do the same… we go 4-5 months without rain and hit 110-115 for weeks on end.

@BetterTogetherLife Transcendentals are perceived and applied, from the lesser to the greater by all creatures made in God's likeness and image. We even know and use them (sadly) to reject God. They nudge us to a relational awareness so-as-to live out our lives according to God's prescribed order. - Beauty - Goodness - Order - Truth Thanks for doing the videos that I see from both a metaphysicl and practical perspective in doing the above. ❤️

@@BetterTogetherLife not you apparently. There are many phrases and euphemisms we grew up with that we take for granted and don't look into. This one not so much these days, fell out of favor. Maybe one day you'll remember this. After all, you just did your year in perspective. Perhaps your perspective of what time is might change. We have been told it's the 2020s, but on Jesus' calendar we're somewhere in the 5780s.
