- Regardless of what the world around you is doing, building your own food security is always important. The first step is planting some seeds in the ground and starting a garden, even if it's small.

Thanks for all the comments on the nail pullers but it’s not my design, they already exist and I for the life of me, can not find them in any stores. So I just copied some I’ve used before.
Ben, Was it not your set that you were using here? What happened to them? After I used those I got some from ACE. They're lifesavers in any remodeling project! Those were a great copycat!
And FYI, my 4-year-old was watching this with me and still mentioned when you guys were over for dinner and asked to have you guys over again! I told him that maybe we'll have to go out to NC!
Look up fence pliers from Home Depot, Tractor Supply,Harbor Freight $9.99 best price Harbor Freight
@@austinheywood3255 I gotta go to ACE tomorrow!
Dewalt Model # DWHT75488 End nipper pliers with claw foot. HD online..... but I like yours better.
"I'm just trying to keep the antagonists away from each other." Dinner parties, family functions, and, apparently, gardening!
I'm happy for you guys. Like my grandfather used to say, Always do it yourself! Hard work always wins!
Another veg garden built. Scary. Lot of canning continues and maybe jams On waiting 2/12years for surgery on March30 canceled onMarch 27 still going. Your family is amazing. I’m 61. May 6 and bin watch You and all Homestead. Thk care comes Dartmouth N S 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
"Can't find what you want, make what you want!" Brilliant and resourceful. Kudos to you sir!
Hollar Homestead / Your sweet little family has come a long way in North Carolina. May God bless you and keep you.
Because of the virus we are digging up part of the yard to grow more food. My parents are in their 70’s and cannot leave the house, they have someone doing their shopping for them. We will be growing enough for them and us to hopefully get through till next year. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I love that seeder. Your garden is looking so good. Plus baby bump is cute too.
BTW... You are becoming a PRO! I admire your family so much. Trial and error are not distractions to your efforts. Keep on Keeping on! And LOOK how that new baby is coming along!
The kids are learning important skills
I'm all for it.
Use it up wear it out make it do or do without, I love that you find stuff at the junk store!!
need it on a shirt and have it say, boot's said use it up wear it out make do or do without.
I want your life! Just a few more years and I will have one much like yours.
You have very well behaved children, which points to you two being great parents, I noticed Ben hold his finger up telling one of the boys to wait. And that was all it took. You two are an example of how people need to be! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Thanks for another awesome video! I love seeing the gardens, the chickens, the pigs, the boys and MEGAN grow😜
yeah I'm a plant when the Spirit moves me as well ha ha and I totally love it when God waters my garden
I can't get over how pretty that old farmhouse is. Wow the birds singing as well at bout the 14:40 mark.
Seng Hunter I love that old Farmhouse it’s Classic real beauty needs refurbishing
Watching this video is my reward for getting all my online finals and assignments done. It's final exam time at college and I'm a graduating senior so my motivation level is at rock bottom, but this is a great incentive for me! So my grades and I are thankful.
Congratulations on graduating! You are a survivor. Wishing you the best ♡
Progress, progress, everywhere! The garden is jamming. A+ buy on the seeder-saves your back in addition to proper spacing done fast.
Your property is looking beautiful. What a load of work you’ve done this year. Today Im teaching my neighbor how to garden. Yah!
Awesome! Teach as many as will listen, this world we live in needs people like you.
I love that your boys are always bare foot. I did the same thing as a child growing up in chicago lol even in the winter, I still hate shoes and when I can I'm bare foot. Love you guys your doing a great job. Watching your videos and hearing your voices is comforting to me.
You guys have came a long way . It is looking awesome. Love going barefooted even at my age (66) lol
nearly done with the trailer flooring I see, you got it, you'll be in before the baby comes
when is the baby due
@@deniseh8932 some time in August
everyone who can,should have a garden!
There is something so wonderful about watching your garden grow. You are doing well!
We have a double lot, and my brother is growing on half of it! It's awesome!
wow guys the garden is doing great and i didnt realize you were expecting a child congrats
OMG! You've got to pattent the Hollar Puller!
Great PSA. Grow something y’all! Seeder looks like fun! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Meg, you look amazing! 💖
Thank you! ❤️
Barefoot and pregnant..you would always find me in the garden..Miss Meg your glowing sweet pea..:)
I LOVE every time I see your boys walking around the farm barefooted! That's my favorite "shoe," too.
My heart is so full for you!
Your garden is looking amazing! And I love how encouraging you both are...it's always nice to hear positive things especially now!
You must be so happy to see the end of the flooring .Good job
I bet you love that back saving little seeder for years to come.
Watching your videos bring me such joy. I live in suburbia and have six 4x8 beds providing me with potatoes, onions, garlic canned tomatoes and sauce, green beans for the year. I also have an abundance of salad/arugula, carrots and radishes through the summer months. I know I’m leaving out some vegies and herbs. It is amazing how much you can grow in a small area. I also have a compost and worm compost area. Such satisfaction with growing my own food. It’s also a great gift to share with friends. Enjoy watching your home and garden progressing and your family expanding.
Gorgeous Mama!!! Great video, y'all are busting butt getting the garden beds in, and taking care of your animals. Great find from the little junk shop. Love junk shops, you can really find treasures like the tools, and the animal crates you found.
My garden will be 4 times bigger this year. I gave the neighbor lots of seeds. I have 25 seed starters going outside every day. I'm going to try and garden most of the yard
Love that you found an affordable planter,smart homesteading. You saved your back ,remember you are an asset, take great care of yourself.
I'll give you a tip I've had experience with and it works well. If you want to have a supply of salad lettuce all summer. Build a table and put a tent over it from a place like FarmTek and grow the lettuce in pots. It thrives in the shady environment the tent provides and with a couple waterings a day during the dog days of summer it should last all summer.
"....because that's how TH-cam works, right? You watch a couple videos and you're almost a pro-"...so true:)
I got my 5 ft. by 10ft. garden started. Plus, the many grow bags and pots. I do what I can no matter how small or limited I am. It makes me so happy.
Love that seeder. What a time & back saver! The birds & the garden are doing well. And Meg, pregnancy definitely becomes you. You are even prettier now. It's great seeing the boys helping with everything, too.
Agreed that a garden is as essential as brushing your teeth. Raised on a dairy farm, we always had friends and extended family
show up and stay for dinner. We had a table that could sit 14 while us young folks had a smaller table. My family never turned away anyone from that magic time, whether they ate or not. As a rule, after dinner, we went to the large garden and with paper bags ,pots or baskets we picked beets,sweet peas, carrots,green beans,corn, green onions, yellow wax beans, spinach, apples and yellow eyed beans. Picked for an hour and if the bugs got too bad, we raced back to the house. Our friends and family always went home with at least one paper bag stuffed full and a homemade loaf of bread or yeast rolls.Those lessons were well learned and never forgotten and passed on to my two sons. Cheers from Kennebunk Maine.
You two are building a lot more than a house and garden. Your boys will always have memories of helping Dad build the house and helping Mom in the garden. You're making lovely memories for them.
I've done my fair share of pulling Staples out with needle-nose pliers and they work pretty good lol
Hubs finally got one bed built and 2 more getting built and I have found compost with free delivery. I am stoked to finally grow food again.🌼🌹🍅🌻💞
Your garden is awesome you've done a really good job I wish mine it's at least it's there and it's planted and it's growing and that's all I can ask
Great veggie patch and the seeder is such a good worthwhile piece of equipment to make life a little easier on the homestead. Good find at the second hand store.
Just wanted to shout out and say thank you for your videos, you all are so encouraging to us. Be Blessed!
Your garden is amazing. Your boys are getting so tall, growing some good young men there.
I love the t-shirt over your baby saying "the good life". Just precious. Keep it up kids.
The garden looks awesome and I love that old seeder. What a fantastic find.
This year is my first garden in my adult life. My father would be proud. 😂 I bought plants and soil today. Lumber for my raised beds gets delivered Monday. Wish me luck. 🤞🏽
PS@ good luck, common sense will serve you well with your hard work. You can do this!
Denise Wilson thank you so much!!! Stay safe in your part of the world 🌎 ✌🏽
You’re teaching your children hard work and lessons for life! Good job you guys.
I just wanted to comment that you are absolutely glowing momma. You are so beautiful
Thank you so much!!❤️
Meg love your pregnant glow. You are always adorable but the baby bump makes you even more so. Bless you all and stay safe.
Thank you! 🥰
Since my travel plans have been put on hold, for now, my garden is jammin'!! I love watching your barefoot boys helping with the chores.
I continue to watch and be amazed at the progress and growth y’all have made. Your little homestead is blooming in so many ways. These are the best days of your lives...
Love to see the younguns working alongside mom and dad.
Love watching your family grow in every way... Y'all have had an amazing journey and so happy to see where y'all are now💚🌱💚
Really appreciate the garden update thanks. Keep the positivity up and being *Jazzed* 👍😊
Hi guys,
So happy to see how well everything is going for you! Your garden looks great!
I am stuck in suburbia in silicon valley on a small lot and have always grown as much food as I can (which to be be fair is significant amount). This year we have scraped every last square inch away from the few ornamentals that we had left and converted it to growing food. We have also gone all in on containers as well. I estimate we are approximately doubling our food production over previous years.
When top dressing my raised beds and converting the new areas to food production we needed compost (we have miserable hard pan clay soil) so we had 4 cubic yards delivered to my driveway which was 1 yard more than we actually needed. I then told all of my neighbors to bring any pots or makeshift pots over to get some compost and I would give them whatever kind of seeds they wanted to try to grow (I got my seeds several weeks before the great seed run of 2020 plus I have extras from earlier years). I only had 3 takers. I find it sad and more than a bit annoying how few people actually seem to know or care about where their food comes from or how easily it could stop becoming so readily available. I am now growing extra seedlings that I will either give to people or sell when they start realizing that maybe food shouldn't be taken for granted.
My point is that I agree with you 100% about food security. I wish I could move out to the country and have land to grow on but that just can't happen right now. I do what I can with what I have. I joke that I am one chicken away from having a real homestead but my wife won't let me raise chickens on the roof so I guess the homesteading dream will have to wait for me. In the mean time I will have to live vicariously through you guys.
So keep up the great work, keep living the dream for yourselves and for all of us, stay safe and be well! Love and support from California 💛
EWJorgy@ you have done your best, telling them, offering free growing materials & seeds, and now planting extra starts, you can't hold their hand anymore that that. Take care of you & yours and the elderly & house bound neighbors as best as you can. The rest will have to do without.
@@denisewilson8367 Thanks Denise! Yup! That's what our plan is.
Thanks for the reply. Take care and all the best to you!
Meg, I love the excitement and laughter you have about all your blessings. From the garden to the baby chicks you just get so excited! I love watching your video's. Keep up the good work!
was just wondering today, Haven't seen a video from The Hollar Homestead???? Thank you for opening up your LIFE for us, I ENJOY EVERY VIDEO!!!!!
I absolutely love watching your family work together. How very blessed you all are.
Love watching you guys. Meg you are looking so cute with that little baby bump. Hope you are feeling well.
Looking good! I'm jealous of that seed machine .😜
When you thin your radishes you can cook the tiny little raddishes with the tops/greens still attached. The entire plant is edible
oh my goodness girl. you're so glowing ...... garden looks good
Pickles Gherkin -- I am hoping they finish the mobile enough they can have the baby moon there!! Give her a beautiful place to have that beautiful family spread out a little Ben!!! I’ll come and help!!
The garden look’s excellent, your wife has That look of beauty carrying your child due in August. The homestead is a great place for your family to grow up . God Bless everyone
Love what y’all are doing
"almost a pro" lol. You guys are great!! Love the ingenuity!
Hard work, independent spirits, Spirit leadership😉, and ingenuity, that's what made America. You guys are the heartbeat of America. So glad you are making another one of you. The world sorely needs more of the Hollars.
P.S. Thanks for sharing the recommendation on the book "Holy Guacamole". I'm on the 6th Chapter but let my son and d-i-l take it with them on their mini honeymoon trip. It's so funny and so profound. Very well written.
Love it! It would be interesting to do mini compost piles all along your beds in the fall to see if the benefits extend with shorter piles of compost. Your kiddos are so amazing...Munchie is super hands-on and the twins - good grief! They have morphed officially into young men! Craziness. As for the remodel - love that Ben is in such a groove (and continues to inspire with his ability to craft his own tools or rehab things like the seeder to make things happen. Meg - your garden looks awesome - do you envision digging out a root celler of some kind to store everything over winter or just extend the life as much possible?
I have gardened most of my adult life sometimes bigger then others. Last year I got more involved in my gardening, switched over to wicking tubs and had the biggest garden I had had in years. Also last summer i started on a project to move and enlarge my garden and have tripled it so far, even before current events happened. Looking forward i have the space to expand even more and making those plans already. Thank you for inviting us in and sharing your day with us.
Meg you are glowing your SHINING SO BRIGHT WITH your precious miracle ...your glow is spreading throughout your family GOD IS BLESSING LIKE CRAZY
Aw, I loved watching you use the seeder. My granddad had one just like that and it brought back memories of walking behind him when I was a little girl while he planted his garden.
Your garden in the compost looks so pretty.
Love to see children helping out momma and poppa❤❤❤
You deft can tell where the poop was wow all them greens are beautiful
I was wondering how the fruit trees were doing
The boys are getting so big and tall
Stay strong
Stay safe
God bless you all
Congrats on y’all’s future bundle of joy!
You are doing such a fabulous job of raising up the next generation of hard working gentlemen!! Loving watching Ben with the boys working with the animals!! The boys really respect and love you Meg! Imagine how they would be with a little sister?? Wow..I'm blown away!
I love your boys. Such good helpers, really taking to this type of life.. You guys are doing great
Good afternoon Holler homestead. Watching your boys walk on gravel bare feet, reminds me of when I was a kid, in Rhodesia, running and walking everywhere barefooted, if I tried that today, no go, my feet are very tender (ha ha). So nice to see them grow up like that. They help you so much and they love the homestead, and you treat them like adults, which is wonderful to see.. Love the seed feeder. You guys have come so far in the short time you have been there. Keep it up and take it easy. Meg you look radiant in your pregnancy. I am trying for the first time to grow veg in containers. A few onions and some lettuce and carrots. Going to give potatoes in a bag a try. Hope it goes well. Take care and have a great day.
I love that you plant as the Spirit moves you, Meg! ❤️
Hi...... Meg and Ben (The Hollar Homestead) I really enjoy You are growing vegetables I love watching your video, thank you for sharing your video homestead 🐔 farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐖🌱🎥👍👍👍

Great visit to the junk shop. Compost pile on the garden did wonders. 👏🏻 Good to see the boys working with their father.
HUGE thumbs up to the kids for helping out, very nice!
LOVE your message at the end!
I was just discussing y'all on another YT channel tonight. You're so positive & encouraging!
It’s amazing to see the progress you’ve made and how well you all look!
Ya'll are doing a great job! gardenslook so good.
The main thing I love about your channel is the what you see is what you get style. Keep keeping it real ❤️
Bravo to your boys! Love seeing the young ones involved!
Stay safe & blessed!
Oh my goodness your garden looks amazing!!!!!!!❤️
Properly using a tool is good but being able to make or adapt one to your specific needs is terrific. I am impressed.
Love the visual showing how the compost helps the garden. Big difference! Keep growing!!
Garden is looking good! Hard work always wins! ❤️❤️❤️
Guys the garden looks GREAT, the new tool is a keeper, and your dreams are about to be realized.
I'm so excited, this is the first year we're not in an apartment and have a little slice of growing space! Our beans just started coming up and I cant even explain my joy at seeing the sprouts pop up.
The garden looks lovely! Meg is glowing. And I remember my parents using that kind of seeder :) I'm growing tomatoes/peppers etc for my friends! A video on urban gardening would be lovely for those who don't think they can do it.
What a great tool you created! 🙌
