Rory God has given u such a vision.u and beautiful Indy. And the angel that watches over you and your family.
So The TSC cap wasn’t quite right. I looked into it and know why. Nice subtle hint.
Such beautiful property!
This Is such good info for newbies because I know they freak out seeing all that dead foliage.
I fully believe that!
Cool video! I’m sure I’ll be modifying the quad once I buy it down the road. My question to you is do you know the difference between the two different 24 V razor quads? $450.01 $750. They both seem to hold 120 pounds and go 8 miles an hour except one looks like it might be 3 inches longer and maybe an inch or two wider.
Yummy
Oh my god then you eat them eggs from the chickens 😮
Ah what a beautiful idyllic life. thanks for the video 🙏👍🏼🙏
Beautiful farm
Beautiful
Beautiful!!
😂 to me thats too complicated. I would just get a cattle traff and put some holes in it. But thats just me.
That’s a great option as well! We actually did that a few years ago and still use them 🙌
The results hardly seem worth all the work 😂 great teaching moment though, way to go!
Tried the beer trap! Ended up falling in myself 🍺 😭
What a snazzy chicken coop!!
Does anyone have a tip to keep green beans until I get a canned full? I’m not getting enough to run a cooker and would love to save them.
If I’m canning them, I just put them in my fridge drawer in a zip lock bag until I have enough to can
Aww their butts
For another great garden video and thanks for sharing how you’ve turned this once neglected area into a beautiful garden again thanks so much my dear friend for sharing all the beautiful beautiful garden. Space you shared with us today. It was just wonderful. Love the sunflowers.
So glad you enjoyed it! We’ve had so much fun transforming the space 😀
I think trap plants are good to grow. Wither they are domestic or wild. If you find a plant the "pest" like best, grow them just to keep the pests away from those you want to harvest from.
I'm in N. MS and last yr I grew Clemson Spineless and Burmese Okra. The Burmese WAY out performed the Clemson. I saved the seeds from the Burmese and planted those this yr. They are already producing and are only 1 ft tall. The Burmese can get a lot longer before they get tough and woody and they branch off, instead of just getting super tall. I also love fried okra but I found a really good okra and tomatoes recipe that is to die for on " how to feed a loon". He shares a trick to reduce the "slime" too. I just subscribed to your channel since we are in a very similar growing climate...I've only been gardening for about 3 yrs. I'm sure you can teach me a lot. I really enjoyed the garden tour today.
Oh I’ve never heard of Burmese! It sounds wonderful 🙌 thanks for the recommendation 😀
Great video!
When is little missy going to make her own video?
It's fun when you leave some of the bloopers in. :) I'm happy your garden is doing better than you thought it would. I may just try that hedge idea.
Real life 😀🙌 and thanks for being excited with us about the garden! It’s been fun to see it come together and grow
Who beheaded the chickens
Part 2 was never released due to us moving, BUT, the Sluggo Plus worked beautifully and we will provide an update at the new house if we need to use it. Thanks for watching!!
Did you give her a new job since her chickens are gone?
Gkdjldkbf❤❤❤❤
How long can they stay in the freezer?
A long time. Takes us almost a year to eat all of them and then we do it all over again 😎
Thanks for sharing! I’ll be sure to give this a try next time I plant my tomatoes. I really enjoyed the cat antics as well! 😅
So proud of you guys ❤
Great job!
I’ve seen this tractors before, but I can’t remember the name of them.
There’s a couple different brands, ours is a small builder out of Indiana…I think? Haha
@@FaithfulFarmstead I like it, I’ll have to look into it since I can sell our pasture poultry now I need to able to raise more and move them easier. Great job on the birds y’all!
AlumaCoops are another brand - which I would prefer over these, but we found these used on marketplace for an incredible price.
@@FaithfulFarmstead heck yea, market place is where it’s at!
Awesome job. Always great when the family is all involved.
Thanks!
Last year was my first year also. Takes some getting used to but smooths out in the end.
Thanks for watching!
I ordered a fast scooter controller and it started working and then 20 minutes later it stopped working
Bummer! I would disconnect it, hook up the old controller, and make sure it’s not the motor that burned out. Also, I would recommend replacing the throttle as well. The stock ones are junk. Good luck!
Aww
Was looking for y’all at the festival but haven’t run across you yet…. We’ll keep looking. 😀
Next time! We also had people we never saw this year. It definitely was spread wider and had more people this year. It’s fun to see it grow each year
@@FaithfulFarmstead - It was nice... Our BNB was almost within walking distance. We had a great time and learned some valuable info. The highlight for me was listening to Rory on Saturday morning and chatting with Marty Rainey for a bit. Lots of great vendors!
More like this, please.
I use some little surgical scissors, so I don't touch them.
JESUS is King
Its the God truth he took 35000dollars of mine used me to get it
Debbie here,,,if you leave the dead slugs at the base of the plants, they will eat their dead and not the plant
Didn’t know that! Thanks for that tip!
Not always though...if slugs are squashed then other will come..not if they're whole & dead 'cause of drinking beer..
I looked for a follow up video but couldn’t find one, did this work for your slug issue? Also just to side note, chickens dont naturally eat slugs because slugs are out at night when chickens are asleep. The slugs can give the chickens worms so it’s not the best treat for them. Best to stick to their natural foraging.
Yes, it worked really well and we continue to use it as needed. There is no part 2 video because we ended up moving. Thanks for watching!
@@FaithfulFarmstead ok thank you!
@@FaithfulFarmstead oh and sorry after I reread my last comment I was being one of “those” chicken people 🤣🤣🫣
All good! I didn’t realize slugs came be potentially hazardous because I see them eat them all the time. Thanks!
Sluggo Plus is great. It works on pillbugs which destroy every seedling they can find. They are worse than slugs.
Yes!! I had a real problem with pillbugs one year eating my seedlings and it was the only thing I found that worked
That's not a garden. You can call just about anything there. It's not nice to throw around lemon peels
This was in our off season so nothing was planted there yet but I’d rather have lemon peels in my garden then cat poop
You guys are the best ❤
Doesn't it hurt them at all to walk barefoot on gravel? 😂
Nope. Amish kids are built different
I use wet moistened wads of weeds in a half gallon container then collect the weeds and slugs in the morning to be dried out after. The slugs eat the weeds and stay there to be collected with the weeds.
I use the slug and snail bait but they melt when it rains. We have rain almost every night. I tried beer too. So the last 2 wks i go to the garden at 6am and put salt on their backs. I started doing that at night too.
Thank you!
