This morning my foundation cow had a little baby bull calf. Precious as can be. I named him “Quarter Pounder” because yesterday I found a 1934 quarter in my pasture!!! Craziest thing ever!! 🧡 Lorie 😊
Our grandparents became preppers out of necessity, living through wars, economic downturns, and natural disasters. They mastered self-sufficiency and resilience, always prepared for the unexpected. Let's honor their wisdom by keeping the spirit of preparedness alive in our own lives.
I have my 91yr old parents who were born in 1933 living with me. Growing up, I stayed with my grandparents on their farm until I was about 14. Between growing up with depression era grandparents on a farm, and having my folks with me now, I've spent my life in prepper mode. It's just a way of life for us. Now, it's becoming a must. I'm just glad I don't have to begin this lifestyle, yet I feel horrible for those who do... I have NO use for those who know they should be preparing but won't.
My grandmother (89 years old) was married at 15, a mom at 16 and traveling the country with her husband and his roofing business. She learned from her struggles how important a pantry was and still has one today. We all call it “the Winn Dixie”. Oddly enough not a single child took after her. It really is interesting to see.
We all went into the matrix. We were sucked into “easy” and “fun” and “entertainment.” It’s hard to break away from, and lose friends and family along the way.
How sad that her wisdom has been ignored . The times are coming , when her vital knowledge will be desperately sought , but she will no longer be here to give it . Proverbs 6 : 6-11
My garden had been through it this past week. Marble size hail, 9 tornados and 15"of rain. And... It's raining again...thankful that I can all year long🙌
I love that Patara always refers to her grandparents. It makes solid sense to look at your past to determine your future. We can repeat the mistakes or learn from them. 🙏🏽
I had a delivery in Morristown this morning and decided to stay in Middlesboro KY overnight because I saw the storms that were supposed to hit in Tennessee. There were some thunderstorm in Kentucky but no hail. I am so glad I followed my instincts!
Glad you’re doing OK after storms. We got hit by tornado 🌪️ in Claremore, Oklahoma Saturday night. Still no power but people & organizations providing meals & help. Fortunately our damage is minimal compared to others. Had 8 humans & 2 dogs in our tiny storm cellar. Praise God we were prepared. Keep preaching it & keep God first in everything.
My grandparents lived through the great depression as teenagers. When we got old enough, she would tell us stories from the depression. We used to ask her all kinds of questions, from what they wore, what they got for birthdays and Christmas, to what they ate. For example... Christmas they each got an orange and three pieces of hard candy. That was it. She said they were all very thankful that they received anything at all. It reminds me of Dolly Partons song Hard Candy Christmas. Her favorite sandwich was a ketchup sandwich. Just ketchup and bread. That was it. She used to make them for us so we could taste what she grew up on. To this day... whenever I have nearly finished a burger and all I have left is the bun and some ketchup.... I think of my grandmother.... living up on that mountain... eating her favorite sandwich ❤
Doing the best I can. Learned how to do allot from Grandma s and aunts. Learned how to fix stuff and be strong from my dad and mom. My dad's in hospice.. Could really use prayers everyone.. He loves Jesus and is ready to meet him.. Thank you so much ❤
Patara, if it were not for you & your channel, my family & I would be living with serious food insecurity right now and our stress levels would be through the roof. I am very serious. My wife & I lost our jobs 6 moths ago because of the economy falling off of a cliff. We had been self-employed in the antique wood furniture restoration and collectables business for over 15 years. People are not spending money on things like furniture like they were even just a few short years ago. We started watching your channel a couple of years back when we saw that the market in our business was turning South, and what you were saying then about putting extra food and other preps back while we had the chance really resonated with us 👍 Now, we are so glad that we did that because with money being so tight, and what inflation has done to the cost of everything, especially food, we simply could not do it right now. Pantry preparedness is keeping us with yum yums in our tum tums 👍 Thank you so much you sweet wonderful human being 👍 Much love for you & your family from up here on the Jersey Shore 👍 🏖 🇺🇸 Keep On Keepin On Everybody! If you have the means right now, take what Patara is saying and what I have said here very seriously. Take care all!
Your channel growing doesn’t surprise me. People are desperate for the truth. We NEED your wisdom, honesty & your testimony in the importance of finding Jesus. Belief & love in God is our ONLY way for peace in our lives, families & nation. Pray & prep👍.
My grandparents and my husbands parents made it through the depression! I grew up always around my grandmother and her constant love for food preservation really taught me a lot . Lord love my mother-in-law, she thought if she didn’t can over 100 quarts of green beans , the family would starve! How blessed I was to have helped them both in my younger years❤ Both graduated to Be with their Lord many years ago. Sometimes I find myself thinking, oh why didn’t I write down what my grandmother said!!!
Wow must be related to my Grandmother and Grandfather. I can and try to raise a garden plus working full time and then some. This week I am going to try to put the garden in, got a week off to get so many things done.
Southeast Louisiana here, just started the war against worms, started harvesting tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash and banana peppers, rain rare here, very dry, praying and hoping for rain next week. Seems like your are and many more too much rain, unseasonably dry here. Keeping garden alive with city water but need rain water so it can thrive. Lack of rain caused garden failure last year, don't want a repeat. Need to rangle some grandsons to dig my shallow water well, have all supplies but at 73 my well digging days have passed. Thanks for your videos, enjoy them!
My Grandma who was born in 1927 grew up in the depression & told me of a story where my Great Gma would have to lock fruit up in a drawer & for their snack cut up one orange into quarters & split it; 1 pc to each child(there were 4 children)
It just occurred to me that l could sit quietly for an hour and watch pictures of your animals, gardens countryside, and listen to that beautiful music.
I can tell you why Granny had backups, she did without in hard times and learned how not to waste and planned ahead so she wouldn't freeze to death or starve to death & she didn't waste her hard earned money on things that weren't needed.
When I started organic gardening in 2009, after a couple of years and expanding my area, I had a lot! That's when I was amazed at the success our forefathers had! I thought....wow! What if I didn't have running water to use when I don't get enough rain! What if hail destroyed it all???? MANY of those settlers realized in the summer that they didn't have enough food to get through the winter! How they saved seeds from animals eating them? How they hoed the ground enough to plant...wow wow wow!!!!
I talk about prepping a lot. My kids kind of sigh and get upset because they get freaked out about some big bad event happening, you know some SHTF as it were, and think I’m over reacting. Today I had a frank discussion with them about what has been happening in your neck of the woods. I explained that we don’t know what could happen or when we will need our preps. It could be a flood, a power outage, an earthquake. I told them if we don’t have electricity, we don’t have water…I think they are finally starting to see the light. I ended by telling them that even if we lost all of our preps the most important thing I have gained is knowledge of how to do things, and that can’t be taken away from me. Thank you for your encouragement and straight talk. Stay safe and keep prepping.
A sister from England here. Yes, listen to P. Here in South England we have had one of the wettest Spring in years. Farmers have stuff rotting in the soggy soil. They are not able to plant yet, due to rain. Yes it is very bad and unfortunately very few people connect these events with Food Shortages next year.
We had a brutal snow and wind storm in Central MT. Lost power for 2 days. Had to use our camper trailer for heat and cooking food. Thankful that I had hay in back up our barn on this cattle ranch for 4 horses. Now we have 70 degrees and flooding conditions. Susan, a farmer and Ranchers daughter
We have gardened for years, but I supplement from the store. The reason I have had a drought for several years and simply could not beat the heat and dry. So thank goodness I set back everything I could. Still do
My grandmother's motto was to have at least 2 years of canning on the shelves at all times just in case of any kind of disasters. Every spring and summer we would harvest fruit on the halves. At the same time my grandpa would drive home we would see another depression. My grandparents prepared me for what is happening today.
Thank you Patara. Didn’t even think of my garden drowning. Coming from a drought area, didn’t think on too much water. I’m about 40 miles west of you so experienced horrific pounding rain. This really impacted my flowers. No hail which I’m grateful for. I’m praying for impacted communities, for future regular gentle rain & sunshine, and God’s grace.
My grandmother was born in 1918 and living through the depression as a child and young adult made her focus different than most of her generation. Never ever saw her doing anything more domestic than fixing a meal and cleaning up afterwards. Her focus became amassing as much money as she could. She always worked outside the home and my mom pretty much raised her siblings. I guess you could say her only preparation was money. That worked in her favor as she never went without and always had the various stores to fill her needs. My mom was the opposite. She fell in love a married a poor man and learned to prepare for the next calamity through trial and tribulation. I learned much from her. I think she was that way because my grandmother had parked her at the farm with my great grandparents for months at a time as a child.
My grandma had backups for everything. Growing up during the depression stories of have only a potatoe in the house to feed the large family. No shoes to wear and poor. Explains a lot of who my grandma was and why she did the things she did.
Hey, girl! Glad your ‘maters made it, and you are all safe. You mentioned Cherokee Lake… I haven’t thought about it in many many many years or been there, etc. But, that’s where I was baptized. Right in the Cherokee Lake. 😀❤️
I restudied geoengineering (weather modification) this morning after hearing we've had (the US) more than 100 tornadoes since Monday. Saw some names I never knew were associated with it or funding it. They are now openly admitting to it and not at all ashamed. "They" are no longer calling us c*nspiracy the*rists.
I wish I could put my garden in. We wait until end of May up here. Our last frost date is normally last week May. In past I lost all things I planted to soon. Live and learn.
Texas here Our garden got beat up with hail about a week ago. The purple hull peas and pole beans have bounced back, looking good. Tomatoes took a beating.
It finally stopped raining in Central Pennsylvania so i took advantage and got 17 tomato plants in. 7 basil plants in and some marigolds in. Now i gotta mulch the tomato patch. I already had 15 cucumber plants in. I just got myself a new puppy after losing my 13 year old cockerspaniel. And i have had her for 3 days and she has only had 1 accident in those 3 days. But she is a good dog. She barked for the first time today since i had her scared the crap out of me and i laughed. I work 11-7 so she has to go in her kennel 2 times a day so i can get some sleep so i try to get her wore out before i go to bed lol. Be safe out there and god bless everyone.
We got by with much less than most because we used animal proteins. Now we did buy feed! However, when you have animals, you can get eggs, milk, and meat on a very small plot. I have 10 acres and on that 10 acres, I would estimate outside of animal food, we managed to get 50% of our own human food may be even more. With herbavours (goats and sheep) you don't even need to buy feed all the time necessarily with 10 acres. They still need salt blocks, wormer and things of course. Goats gave milk everyday almost because we staggered the breeding and milking between nannies. The ducks gave an egg a day per duck and fed themselves. Our chickens had to be fed, but we did grow corn for them and things, but we still had to buy some feed. Then of course, you can grow food, but it depends what kind of plants you grow. Fruiting veggies, aka green beans, tomatoes, squash, zucihhini, snap peas, snow peas, cucumbers, egg plants, peppers, okra, etc... these are plant once and they keep giving you food. You can put this food up. I grew a huge plot of these. A minimum of 48 of each variety in those days and dropped it down to 24 of each variety after I was over run by summer squash. I did not need acres and acres for veggies. I did have a few cute little raised beds for things like lettuce, herbs, and things, but it wasn't the life sustaining stuff like those fruiting veg. Our diet depended upon those, the milk, the eggs, and yes even meat we could produce. We raised a pig every year. What we bought was rice in 100# bags, potatoes in #100 pound sacks, popcorn in #100 pound sacks, and kidney beans in #100 pounds sacks or pinto beans. Most people would say that would not last a family of 8 for a year. I'm here to tell you that it did, because we grew so much. We no longer eat a carb based diet, so we are trying to find something to replace that #100 pounds of carbs each person in the family had each year. For us preparing was getting our bulk order of grains, veggie seeds, and what not in each year. It makes grocery shopping real easy when you can literally order 800 pounds of grains and legumes and know that most of your food is set because everything else is right there on your land.
Absolutely! This is exactly what my granny did and what she would be telling Everyone she cared about. I’m so grateful for growing up with such a strong, smart & caring woman. Miss her SO much
Yes, I cannot imagine trying to feed my whole family from the ground only. My little garden wouldn’t come close to cutting it. A little spinach, tomatoes and herbs isn’t enough. I love how you always tell people to try it out. Planted blueberry bushes and strawberry plants and the deer, rabbits and birds ransacked everything. They even tried and spit out a bunch of my tomato vines.
I had a young man come to the house to do some work the other day and he told me all chickens lay white eggs because the stores sell them that way lol. Needless to say I sent him along his way with brown eggs and I filled his ears with other things. Lord have mercy!!
It's hard for these last two generations to realize how drastic the change is going to be. We have been very spoiled. Keep telling ourselves these are the good old days because significant events are just ahead. Jer 5.21-31
Thank God for these ridge's of Tennessee. On top hardly ever floods. But with 8 inches of rain we have ponding. Glad y'all were one of the lucky ones too.
Excellent way to use a "teachable moment," as a friend would say. Things that should make us think. There are definitely questionable ingredients in our food these days, but we may have to rely on that food one day. I believe God can protect us, when it comes to that. "Thus far the Lord has helped us."1 Samuel 7:12. He will not forsake His people.
Forgive me for being a few videos behind, new goat momma and I've been busy transferring all my plants from greenhouse to the garden. So I'm catching up tonight. I truly can say I missed ya😊
I live in Gatlinburg and we got hail the size of golf balls. The day before I decided to put an umbrella over my tomatoes they are about 8 inches tall. I drove a stake into the ground and I zip tied a golfers umbrella over top. Praise God, no damage actually no damage to anything. God is so good. Glad you guys are OK.💜
City gardener here. I've had better times. This generation of dogs like to eat everything but the garlic and chard! Areas the dogs can't get to, the birds will get at and sometimes rats! A grow bag or box of potatoes I nurture for 3 months will give about one meal. We'll be in rough shape if we lose access to fresh produce. I've got cans of green beans, corn, seeds to make fresh sprouts. I pray we wont lose access to fresh food but our dry pantry will stretch our budget so we can get the fresh stuff if the prices go way up.
Still getting used to Arizona monsoon weather (New England transplant). Agreed hail storms can decimate a garden...we had one that turned our garden into green confetti.
Here in lower East Tennessee we had it bad. Trees down all around us, power out everywhere, flooding, hail, etc. Still Georgia had it worse. It was bad. Feeling blessed and loved after neighbors helped clean up. Still not done, but that will come. Still didn't have it as bad as our Georgia neighbors.
So relieved you and yours made it through last night’s severe storm outbreak…prayers to those who didn’t fair as well. What a night…watched Ryan Hall’s livestream and was able to warn a friend in Huntsville AL of the tornado that was at their doorstep and they were grateful for the alert thanks to Ryan Hall’s team.
Great video! I got cans of corn for 50 cents. I can't grow it that cheap. I stopped by Ingles and found a huge tub of mixed greens for $1.49. WalMart had hidden valley rollbacks $1 off. I got muffins for $2.51. I have vegetables and fruits growing but only a small amount. Sometimes its cheaper to buy than to grow. Its easier to eat whats on sale most of the time. I got ground chuck for $2.14 a pound. I stocked up. Everything will be fine.
Some of what you said makes me think of my in-laws. They are in their 90’s now and my husband and I have been married 45 years so I have been with them over half my life. They have ALWAYS had a big garden and canned or froze everything they could. So I know what you mean about our ancestors being preppers 😊
This is my worst year in a long time for getting my garden going, because of the weather and to much rain. I live in Oklahoma. Thanks for the great videos.
This morning my foundation cow had a little baby bull calf. Precious as can be. I named him “Quarter Pounder” because yesterday I found a 1934 quarter in my pasture!!! Craziest thing ever!! 🧡 Lorie 😊
Cool! I got a 1939 nickel in change yesterday from Sheetz.
😂😊
Adorable
last night our final girl gave birth to piglets. It was looking like she was heading to salami camp given everyone else were impregnated in October.
❤
Keep reading (praying) Psalms 91! For protection over your home and loved ones
My favorite prayer

Amen!!!

Another Amen
I spend the day planting my garden! I'm 70 y/o and can everything!
Superb!👏
Sending love from Ottawa 🇨🇦
Me too,70 and everything also
You're very blessed!
Canning is fun. I do small batch but have a blast doing it!
Right there with you!! 😁

Sending prayers your way!

Praying for you!!!🙏🕊❤

Old saying, "When a Farmer speaks, you had better listen!"

We always called it "saving for a rainy day" didn't know I was a prepper till a few years ago🤣
Wonderful comment I agree 100%

The storms we are experiencing here in okla arent normal either, increased tornados , severe storms,
Never seen a tornado spin in the opposite direction, that was interesting 🤔and questionable.
Manipulated
Yes they are. 🥲

Cloud seeding.
I love that Patara always refers to her grandparents. It makes solid sense to look at your past to determine your future. We can repeat the mistakes or learn from them. 🙏🏽

Granny was a prepper cause she had been Hungry in the past and was a Survivor

Glad you were safe. Thanks for the info I have family there!
this is NOT the country WE grew up in.....
Very true
It sure isn’t. Our, so called “leaders“ have sold us out!
This is not the world we grew up in.
Amen...amen..and amen!!!
Amen. 🙏❤
Hi Patara ,my yard is too small for a garden , so I planted seeds in pots all over my deck ,, had lots of tomatoes last year 🍅🍅🍅
❤❤❤...I have many herbs growing in hanging pots in my very Tiny backyard

The most important things that our forefathers had is gone now. Good clean water, fresh air. Good decent neighbors ✌️
So very true!!
And so...we pray for restoration. The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.

I had 1 tomato go head to head with a hail stone, it lost!! All the others (15) ducked!!!
Doing the best I can. Learned how to do allot from Grandma s and aunts. Learned how to fix stuff and be strong from my dad and mom.
My dad's in hospice.. Could really use prayers everyone.. He loves Jesus and is ready to meet him.. Thank you so much ❤

Praying for him and all of you!!!🙏🕊❤

They need to hold these weather modification company's accountable for these tornadoes. We had 3 here Wednesday.
Will never happen. It’s the plan

100% farming is a huge gamble.
The weather and all the varmints are against you. Then there is something about time.
Always looking forward to your latest videos!😁
Everything is up in my garden and made it through the storm! Blessed!
Hey All!!
Hello Patara so glad you’re well and everything is safe with you. I’m sending you blessings, prayers much love and great big hugs ❤🙏

When I was growing up never planted garden till Memorial Day and always had a bountiful garden crops
Thank you Patara. Didn’t even think of my garden drowning. Coming from a drought area, didn’t think on too much water. I’m about 40 miles west of you so experienced horrific pounding rain. This really impacted my flowers. No hail which I’m grateful for. I’m praying for impacted communities, for future regular gentle rain & sunshine, and God’s grace.
My grandmother was born in 1918 and living through the depression as a child and young adult made her focus different than most of her generation. Never ever saw her doing anything more domestic than fixing a meal and cleaning up afterwards. Her focus became amassing as much money as she could. She always worked outside the home and my mom pretty much raised her siblings. I guess you could say her only preparation was money. That worked in her favor as she never went without and always had the various stores to fill her needs.
My mom was the opposite. She fell in love a married a poor man and learned to prepare for the next calamity through trial and tribulation. I learned much from her. I think she was that way because my grandmother had parked her at the farm with my great grandparents for months at a time as a child.
My mom born in1924 of March. She worked, grandma raised us. Godbless them. Eternally grateful.
Thank you Patara ❤️✝️
My grandma had backups for everything. Growing up during the depression stories of have only a potatoe in the house to feed the large family. No shoes to wear and poor. Explains a lot of who my grandma was and why she did the things she did.
Good Evening Y’all ⚜️

I need more jars omg I need more jars and a seller to put them in 😅
More shelving to stack higher!! Yes more jars when they go on sale plus lids and more lids.
Hey, girl! Glad your ‘maters made it, and you are all safe.
You mentioned Cherokee Lake… I haven’t thought about it in many many many years or been there, etc. But, that’s where I was baptized. Right in the Cherokee Lake. 😀❤️
"Weather modification" is not a conspiracy theory.
Yes folks need to wake up and become the activist with the loudest voices.
I restudied geoengineering (weather modification) this morning after hearing we've had (the US) more than 100 tornadoes since Monday. Saw some names I never knew were associated with it or funding it. They are now openly admitting to it and not at all ashamed. "They" are no longer calling us c*nspiracy the*rists.
So many of my friends and grandkids, just laugh it off, when I try to get them to be prepared.
I wish I could put my garden in. We wait until end of May up here. Our last frost date is normally last week May. In past I lost all things I planted to soon. Live and learn.
Hey from the Black Hills!❤❤❤
Oh my goodness! The Cats and goats snuggle!!!❤❤
Sent prayers for y'all last night. We had a tornado less than 1/4 mile from us today. I'm in S.E. Ga. God is good.
Texas here
Our garden got beat up with hail about a week ago. The purple hull peas and pole beans have bounced back, looking good. Tomatoes took a beating.
It finally stopped raining in Central Pennsylvania so i took advantage and got 17 tomato plants in. 7 basil plants in and some marigolds in. Now i gotta mulch the tomato patch. I already had 15 cucumber plants in. I just got myself a new puppy after losing my 13 year old cockerspaniel. And i have had her for 3 days and she has only had 1 accident in those 3 days. But she is a good dog. She barked for the first time today since i had her scared the crap out of me and i laughed. I work 11-7 so she has to go in her kennel 2 times a day so i can get some sleep so i try to get her wore out before i go to bed lol. Be safe out there and god bless everyone.
We got by with much less than most because we used animal proteins. Now we did buy feed! However, when you have animals, you can get eggs, milk, and meat on a very small plot. I have 10 acres and on that 10 acres, I would estimate outside of animal food, we managed to get 50% of our own human food may be even more. With herbavours (goats and sheep) you don't even need to buy feed all the time necessarily with 10 acres. They still need salt blocks, wormer and things of course. Goats gave milk everyday almost because we staggered the breeding and milking between nannies. The ducks gave an egg a day per duck and fed themselves. Our chickens had to be fed, but we did grow corn for them and things, but we still had to buy some feed.
Then of course, you can grow food, but it depends what kind of plants you grow. Fruiting veggies, aka green beans, tomatoes, squash, zucihhini, snap peas, snow peas, cucumbers, egg plants, peppers, okra, etc... these are plant once and they keep giving you food. You can put this food up. I grew a huge plot of these. A minimum of 48 of each variety in those days and dropped it down to 24 of each variety after I was over run by summer squash. I did not need acres and acres for veggies. I did have a few cute little raised beds for things like lettuce, herbs, and things, but it wasn't the life sustaining stuff like those fruiting veg. Our diet depended upon those, the milk, the eggs, and yes even meat we could produce. We raised a pig every year.
What we bought was rice in 100# bags, potatoes in #100 pound sacks, popcorn in #100 pound sacks, and kidney beans in #100 pounds sacks or pinto beans. Most people would say that would not last a family of 8 for a year. I'm here to tell you that it did, because we grew so much. We no longer eat a carb based diet, so we are trying to find something to replace that #100 pounds of carbs each person in the family had each year.
For us preparing was getting our bulk order of grains, veggie seeds, and what not in each year. It makes grocery shopping real easy when you can literally order 800 pounds of grains and legumes and know that most of your food is set because everything else is right there on your land.
Absolutely! This is exactly what my granny did and what she would be telling Everyone she cared about. I’m so grateful for growing up with such a strong, smart & caring woman. Miss her SO much
Excellent video Patara the Lord is so good
Yes, I cannot imagine trying to feed my whole family from the ground only. My little garden wouldn’t come close to cutting it. A little spinach, tomatoes and herbs isn’t enough. I love how you always tell people to try it out. Planted blueberry bushes and strawberry plants and the deer, rabbits and birds ransacked everything. They even tried and spit out a bunch of my tomato vines.
I had a young man come to the house to do some work the other day and he told me all chickens lay white eggs because the stores sell them that way lol. Needless to say I sent him along his way with brown eggs and I filled his ears with other things. Lord have mercy!!
👍👍 IMHO the scariest thing is that people don't realize how fragile the food chain is.
It's hard for these last two generations to realize how drastic the change is going to be. We have been very spoiled. Keep telling ourselves these are the good old days because significant events are just ahead. Jer 5.21-31
My father's favorite saying as a farmer was that a farmer's best years on the farm was 20 years ago and next year.
GOD BLESS MR.FRED PATARAS FRIEND. HE WAS AN INSPIRATION.
Thank God for these ridge's of Tennessee. On top hardly ever floods. But with 8 inches of rain we have ponding. Glad y'all were one of the lucky ones too.
That is one special mama turkey. Job well done!
Love the animals 😍
OMG. look at the babiy turkeys and gooslings. They look great.
Congrats on reaching > 500k. ❤
Well done. 505 subs. You go gurl. 👑👠💥💥
Excellent way to use a "teachable moment," as a friend would say. Things that should make us think. There are definitely questionable ingredients in our food these days, but we may have to rely on that food one day. I believe God can protect us, when it comes to that. "Thus far the Lord has helped us."1 Samuel 7:12. He will not forsake His people.
Patara, we all need a dose of your cousin Gilley. Love your channel and glad your storms weren’t too bad. Hope your gardens survived.
Forgive me for being a few videos behind, new goat momma and I've been busy transferring all my plants from greenhouse to the garden. So I'm catching up tonight. I truly can say I missed ya😊
I live in Gatlinburg and we got hail the size of golf balls. The day before I decided to put an umbrella over my tomatoes they are about 8 inches tall. I drove a stake into the ground and I zip tied a golfers umbrella over top. Praise God, no damage actually no damage to anything. God is so good. Glad you guys are OK.💜
Love you idea, I have thought of that but haven't done it. Mostly I deal with cold temperatures up here in MN but we have had golf ball hail at times.
Prayers for our nation...
City gardener here. I've had better times. This generation of dogs like to eat everything but the garlic and chard! Areas the dogs can't get to, the birds will get at and sometimes rats! A grow bag or box of potatoes I nurture for 3 months will give about one meal. We'll be in rough shape if we lose access to fresh produce. I've got cans of green beans, corn, seeds to make fresh sprouts. I pray we wont lose access to fresh food but our dry pantry will stretch our budget so we can get the fresh stuff if the prices go way up.
Yes, bless ro ALL.
Trying very hard to be prepared and learning gardening
Still getting used to Arizona monsoon weather (New England transplant). Agreed hail storms can decimate a garden...we had one that turned our garden into green confetti.
@@sylviamaresca8852 I'm from cochise county too! Hello!🙋♀️
🦋🇺🇸👋Replay crew here. I love seeing the animals ❤, it gives me some serenity in this World. God Bless you Patera n your family.
Here in lower East Tennessee we had it bad. Trees down all around us, power out everywhere, flooding, hail, etc. Still Georgia had it worse. It was bad. Feeling blessed and loved after neighbors helped clean up. Still not done, but that will come. Still didn't have it as bad as our Georgia neighbors.
So relieved you and yours made it through last night’s severe storm outbreak…prayers to those who didn’t fair as well. What a night…watched Ryan Hall’s livestream and was able to warn a friend in Huntsville AL of the tornado that was at their doorstep and they were grateful for the alert thanks to Ryan Hall’s team.
You and your neighbors were in my prayers. God is great! ❤
Great video! I got cans of corn for 50 cents. I can't grow it that cheap. I stopped by Ingles and found a huge tub of mixed greens for $1.49. WalMart had hidden valley rollbacks $1 off. I got muffins for $2.51. I have vegetables and fruits growing but only a small amount. Sometimes its cheaper to buy than to grow. Its easier to eat whats on sale most of the time. I got ground chuck for $2.14 a pound. I stocked up. Everything will be fine.
Some of what you said makes me think of my in-laws. They are in their 90’s now and my husband and I have been married 45 years so I have been with them over half my life. They have ALWAYS had a big garden and canned or froze everything they could. So I know what you mean about our ancestors being preppers 😊
storage, forage and farming are the three pillars of food prepping
Glad to hear you came through it so well.
This is my worst year in a long time for getting my garden going, because of the weather and to much rain. I live in Oklahoma. Thanks for the great videos.
I haven't set my tomatos, peppers, etc yet out. I am glad because we are getting down in the 40's for the next couple of nights.
