    I love how you show us your family in prayer before dinner. I follow a lot of homesteading channels, and most of them are Christian, but yours is the only one that shows you all praying. I also love how much you have done with your property and the animals. Blessings to you all.

      Lumnah Homestead shows their family in prayer before they eat. If you haven't followed them, start from the beginning and enjoy. They are good people.

    Retired electrician. Run a strand of twine tied to a bolt-nut through the bottom hole , hook the twine from the top with the fence wire and pull it up; the nut will provide tension. Then, there is a direct connection between the two holes to feed fittings. No kid-fingers needed.
    Hope this helps.
    Y'all be well and stay safe.

    The bed you tilled looks amazing! I’m disabled and can’t do that in my yard. So I live vicariously through you.
    I want to commend you for being the kind of dad that teaches a child instead of belittling them for not doing it good enough.

    Pigs love to help with work in the pasture. Our sow ran off with my husband's hammer while he was doing repairs to their fencing. Hilarious to watch him chase her around to get it back!

    Those fritters look yummy. Thanks for sharing so much of your day today Ben. Those new beds do look great. The furrows are as deep and strait as any high dollar machine, and using the cows instead of the gas powder weed whacker was stroke of genius. Not only saved you some time but also gas for the machine. Y'all have a Blessed day.

    Where I’m in Northeast TN, we have several different mini winters, it is the same for the mountains in NC. So after a certain plant or tree blooms there’s a small winter that comes after it and sometimes brings a frost. First there’s red bud winter (we’ve had that), then there’s dogwood (we’ve had that), then finally there’s blackberry. My blackberry bushes just bloomed so we’re due for another cold spell and I think we’re getting it this weekend. Usually everything is good after blackberry winter. It’s come very early this year, usually doesn’t happen until early May. The old saying is that May 10th is always usually the safe time to plant though the signs show it should probably be earlier this year. Y’all have a blessed day!!

    Ben I'm sure glad you are able to get to the pigs watering system today and got it fixed, I can't express how crucial it is that animals have clean fresh water and all times. On our farm my dad assigned checking wallering bowls and troughs as a must-do chore for us kids. We checked watering systems regularly every week and filled up watering systems weekly automatically. So we did not need flag systems to tell us when watering troughs we're running low or needed cleaning.

    Ben...Possible suggestion...My Gramps always told me to castrate the wee ones within the first few days after birth. He said it bothered them less & you can put them back to nursing right after the nip & snip which allows them to remember the soothing love of mom over the pain of the castration. You might try it once to see if the wee ones don't forgive you faster.

    Our son is going to cut some furrows for me so I can plant sweet potato slips with corn as an experiment. We need to cut a few more furrows in another location, behind the garden for cantaloupe, and watermelon. Were behind on this process.
    Turkey fritters, and salad, sounds good. Tonight, I'm making green chilie(mild) sauage gravy, and biscuits for dinner. It's going to be a meal with no vegetables tonight.

    Those are the friendliest little pigs. They know you are the "food man"! The baby boar piglets will quit being mad at you in no time! According to "Ryan Hall Y'all" weather forecast, with the rain coming thru TN, NC, and SC the weekend, temps are going to drop with possible frost through the remainder of April. So waiting to plant beans would be wise. May need to cover peas and lettuces to protect from frost burn. Hope it doesn't burn the fruit tree blossoms. Meg's dinner always makes me hungry! You're a fantastic cook Meg!

    Cows always remind me of toddlers, they are always so interested in everything that's going on. I watch the veggie boys and they feed their beef stock shredded sweetcorn stalks as silage, I was thinking you could put your corn stalks through the chipper and the cows could have that, even if it's for only a couple of days in the cooler months.

    Hi dear Ben,
    maybe you should add an organic fertilizer like humus/red worm tea to help the beans bloom and produce fruit pods. I added in my garden to plants that bloomed very little or not at all and it helped a lot. You can also soak chopped banana peels in water and after a few hours you can water the bean or strawberry plants with this water, or any plant you want that will give flowers and fruit. Works great. Successfully. 🙏
