Buggie pulled the trigger on her "bye bye" too soon! 😂 Hearing ben finish the dinner prayer with "In Jesus' name" never gets old. Dude gotta relationship with the One True Most High God, aka Daddy! When you have that, everything else just falls into place.
Amen to that!❤🙏🏻
Amen 🙏
I just love watching this family!
They are always so genuine, and stays true to themselves.
Unlike some other creators, they have never let the public life seem to affect them.
It truly never fails to bring a sense of peace and happiness to me whenever I get to watch these videos ❤
I often watch them as I'm eating my lunch, or while I'm working and I often feel transported out into nature with them.
Thanks Hollars for bringing us all along!
It was sweet how Lumnah Acres referred to Buggy saying “Grow,” when telling their new puppy not to, “Grow.”
You know you’re teaching them well when 3 year old Buggy says “look the strawberries are coming back”..I love it! You guys are awesome! Blessings ❤🙏🏻
You can also "corn" chuck or other cuts as well. Corned beef was shipped all over the world and the only cuts still available for the poor jews in NYC were the brisket and navel. Those then became the cuts that were corned. When the Irish were looking for a meat to substitute for bacon (the jewish butchers didn't do bacon) the corned beef brisket took over the role.
Someday it will be called the Hollar Peach Orchard! Great job getting the spring garden going!
It’s Wednesday morning here Downunder. While drinking my breakfast smoothie I sit and watch TH-cam. Well I’m headed for the TV and say ‘gee I hope Hollar Homestead has a clip up today.’ You’ve made my morning, thank you. 🌻💜
Wow that is my start of the day in Northern Rivers. I just love sipping my coffee in bed and watch the Hollar family doing all that work😉. And now I go out to my garden and start pulling the weeds out after all that rain.
@@erikas974 Me too
Hi Meg that corner beef looks tender as buttah! Love seeing Brett taking on a bigger role in the garden to free up Dad for the building extension.
Bye, Bye Buggy. It's been fun watching her grow these last few years. She is such a character.
Hello Hollar family, I have about 100 1 gallon nursery pots that the previous owner left under my house. I live in west Tennessee, but you can have all of them if you want them 😂
Buggy reminds me of me when i was her age running around bare footed outside even when its cold and never got sick if anything it makes you tuffer ❤
And yet her parents are always bundled up and wearing shoes or boots. My parents let me run around barefoot in the summer but in winter? No way! Frostbite is a real thing.
@@SagebrushRambles I run around barefoot in the winter have all my life, I’m 69 years old and I have never had a cold or flu.
@jt1364 lol I grew up being bundled all my life now when it’s 60 f outside I’m freezing while my son who’s as feral as they come is ripping off his jacket cause he’s too hot running around with a jacket on
I used to be barefoot all the time, inside or outside, summer or winter. Now my toes get too cold and I have scuffy type slipper/booties that I wear. But that's only been about the last 5 years. I'm 63 now.
Every body's are different. Some people don't feel the cold weather like other people. And as you get older your blood vessels get smaller so you your feel the cold more. But even this some people feel cold more than others. Don't worry all kids go through this stage of running a round without shoes. We all survived it. Lol.
When buggie says"BYE" . I smile and wave back.😊
I just waved back too--didn't want her to think we weren't responding to her wonderful exuberance--then realized what I was doing! Glad I'm not the only one! (:
It’s hard not too 😊
I smile and wave too! I’m glad I’m not the only one 👍😊
Haha I say "bye Buggie!" We teen boys think I'm a wierdo😂
Who can hold back a smile 😀 from that Beautiful sweet spirit ❤
Ms. LillyAnn ‘ aka ‘ Buggy
Are you gonna have a new brother or a sweet, like you, little sister ❤
😊
Bye buggy. You the cutest little buggy I've ever seen. Can't wait to meet the new member. Coming.
Ben, I used to own a commercial greenhouse and garden center. We always had thousands of used nursery pots in all different sizes. Some we were able to reuse, but many just sat around taking up space. If there are any greenhouses or nurseries in your area maybe you could check with them to see if they have any pots they would give you or sell cheap. That way you would have plenty of pots, they could get some out of their way, and it would keep more plastic out of the landfill. Win win win!
I remember vividly Bret's garden corner excelling all the other parts, now he will be in charge of everything, thus this year's garden will be the best!
Buggy is so smart, knows a strawberry plant, amazing. She sure is a cutie. Bye ......Peace!
Hi, Hollars! Happy beginning of Spring starting at 11:04 tonight. Meg, I am praying for all of your family, but especially for you and the little one coming in May. Take care of yourself. Hug Buggie for me.
Love that you “conferred with Brett” about the garden plans!
Borax (and a sweetener) for the ants.
I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!
For me this is my favorite time of the year to watch homestead videos. You get the process in the seeding and growing of crops.
It was a tad chilly but yet beautiful to be outside planting. Like you, I pulled weeds from 2 beds. Then went and pulled the silage tarp off of one of my long, and tall beds to find a surprise. I'm always careful pulling silage tarps because you don't know what you may find under the tarp(snakes, spiders, mice, ect..). When I lifted the end of the tarp, I saw movement. I instantly dropped the tarp, and grabbed my shovel. Then once again lifted the tarp to see a mouse with babies, and a straw type house. I took my shovel and scooped out the mouse house, and discarded it in the garbage. Mama mouse ran with her babies to a hole (old wood knot that had fallen out) in the wood, and escaped with babies attached to her. That was my excitement for the day. I added more compost to all garden beds, and got them ready for planting.
Ben, when you have to make new lumber border you might seal the wood with linseed oil. It should preserve it and make it viable longer.
Buggy is a joyful bundle
Great to see you beautiful family! Buggy is so sweet! Meg, rest a little! Love you guys! Blessings!
Thanks for letting us visit
Looking at websites and seeing the jump in pricing and since there is only a few seed suppliers the seed companies are charging 4.95 for 35 seeds.
Save as many seeds from your harvest
MI Gardner seeds are $2.00 for standard size seed envelopes, are fresh, great quality & I have had 95 - 100% germination rate for all of their seeds I’ve planted. Luke has a you tube channel, he & his wife have worked hard & have built a quality seed, plant, produce business. I’ve watched his channel for 5 years now, very informative videos.
Ben and Meg, You are creating lifelong traits for Brett and Buggie in your family garden. So wonderfun!!!
We dont always pull plants, but if we do they are thrown in a pile for compost.
Oh cool! I love the lettuce river. I hope you dont me copying that design Brett. I love watching you guys work in the garden, it's been snowing off and on for 3 days and it isn't done yet. I,ll just watch for awhile yet. ❤️🇨🇦
Meg your looking so beautiful and loved this video.. I don't post often but do watch.. Thank you for all your sharing :)
I planted lettuce, bunching onions, radishes, spinach & beets today. I too have really missed fresh lettuce & salad from the garden this winter. I told everything to GROW!! So, hopefully it does. Tomorrow carrots, rutabagas, turnups, Swiss chard, other greens & peas. I have some radish & bunching onion seeds from 2008, 2015, 2020. Planted them in a separate bed to see if any of them grow.. who knows they might. Have had a beautiful 5 days of no rain & sun. Friday - Sunday was 68 - 71, today about 65. It’s going to be in 50’s & rain the next 10 days.. 😐.
Love to see the garden prep and the planting of the seeds begins! Meg, pls don’t overdue…you looked uncomfortable in some shots today! That corned beef really looked delicious🤗. So sweet the way Ben says thank you for the meal 💜!
It’s not hard to look uncomfortable when you’re 7-9 months pregnant no matter the situation! 😂
The change of seasons at my local cemetary has been a great source of free pots.
Megan, you are an exceptional cook. Buggy...byeeeeeeeeeee
Enjoyed this video! The chickens 🐓 n the background bragging over the eggs they just layed and all!😀
Hmmm? Did the Fig Tree receive a heavy mulch last fall? That helps. Exciting times for your family. You are in my prayers.
Sounds like me trying to use up old seeds lol. The little chickies next door came over and wanted me to go outside with them. I’m usually working in the yard when they get home from school but it was blustery yesterday. I asked if they wanted to plant some seeds & they said yes, so I gave them a bulging envelope of marigold seeds from flowers I grew. Before I could finish making my tea they came running inside showing me some camellia red beans 🫘 I planted. They were growing lol. I said go put them back in the ground lol. So cute!! But they planted all the marigolds in one spot up by the road hahaha. I can’t wait until they come up so they can see 🌼🌼🌼 I have a feeling we’ll be doing a lot of transplanting 😊
I can’t wait to see what all kinds of carrots grow for yall. Can’t say I’ve ever cooked corn beef. My Mom cooked it though mmm. Byeee Chicky 👋🏻
Chickweed is really good for your chickens immune systems and calcium levels! It is a blessed food for your critters! ✨🇨🇦✨
I feed a lot of it to the chickens this time of year and when the heat of summer comes it disappears.
Your so blessed!😅
Love how Brett was putting an artistic bent to the rows of lettuce. So glad he is invested in gardening.
I really hope you show us how you make corned beef hash tomorrow!!! I was just saying how much I love it, but homemade has got to be better.
Glad to see my favorite youtubers doing well, especially Mama 😊
Green beans are a no go here this year. We canned and froze enought green beans last season to last us three years!
With you on leaving it till spring to tidy up beds and boarders. Tho watching folks weed..when I've been weeding half the day is a little nuts. Much love and respect to you all
I love the family prayer.
Great to see you working on the garden again. Your corned beef looked so good. 👋😊💞
Spring is springing! You motivate me so much to get started! Scotland is still cold and wet but I'm excited for warm-ish weather
Did you grow that cat to so cute❤
Glad all is well. Corned beef looked great. Did you mention when Meg is due?
I believe it’s May due date.
Hi everyone! Ben & Meg you and the family are doing incredible. Small bites and congratulations on the on the way addition God Bless
shredded corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast - - - - YUM! Looks like the 'watermelon' is getting along just fine as well. ;)
Love watching your family...Buggy is so cute. Good looking FAMILY❤❤❤
I love watching your family. Y'all are my absolute favorite homesteading family to watch. I'm 76 y/o. I garden mostly in containers now. Thank you for surprising us with a video of y'all ❤❤❤❤❤
I agree! When I bought my home, there was nothingliving. No bug, worms, pill bug nothing. Every year I bring in ladybugs, praying mantis, and earthworms. The gardens are doing well after 7 years, and I leave the 'leavings' after the garden season and it has made a huge difference.
Hey Hollers, I didn't expect to see you for a while ❤.
I'm so pleased to hear that your plants and trees made it through!
Come on, Peaches👍.
I've been thinking about this Cornedbeef you brined when I took my nasty little pink thing I cooked out of the water😢.
Bye bye-bye
JO JO
You know it's GOOD when the only sound at the table is the sound of cutlery on the plates!
Maybe put the chickens in the bottom beds? I have no idea, truly asking.
Such a sweet family. Love watching. So down to earth, and hardworking.❤
LOL@ Buggie! She's a mess!!! I know she keeps you all rolling in laughter! LOL
We are just down the interstate in Spartanburg SC. My husband is a professional engineer and has the bonding stamp for approvals on inspection paperwork. Not sure if you are still having issues, but he will be happy to offer his services free of charge. Unless you have a bed of asparagus coming up !
Bunch of nurseries over here by the coast that I can get plenty of one gallon pots for you.
I love your real life homesteading. It's real and it makes me feel justified. I am a normal homesteader. My life is not Pinterest perfect and neither is my homestead. I laugh when I see perfectly stylized homestead. Where is the dirt, projects, and poo😂 I'm here for the substance.❤
There is nothing like time spent in the garden to soothe the mind. It's fun to throw caution to the wind with old seeds and next winter, you will have awesome, guiltless shopping for new varieties.
I am going to be 57 this year and have only put one garden in in my life and that was last year just to see if i could get some seeds and I did pretty good but this year I am going all out and going to plant every place I thank something will grow thank you and your wife for sharing your life and your garden tip with everyone i am so excited to see how it goes this year love your family and your videos keep them coming 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
Ben, kiwi have both male and female plants. You need both a male and a female. Just having two plants does not quarantine you have one of each. Oregano is a noxious weed where I live. Keep your eye on that. Great progress.
Dinner looks fantastic.
I've been putting comfrey around my fencing area too control the weeds. And the good lord had the bird drop me 2 different flowers a yellow flower with red centers and 3 beautiful deep purple 1-1/2 bell flowers. Hopefully I will be able too get a herb garden going this year.
Good video. So cool your son is so interested in heading up the garden with you ..buggy well she's always up for some fun..great meal Meg. Labor of love!❤ thanks guys
if you tilled the bottom garden bed you could plant meadow mix (wild flower mix) see what takes, as a treat for you bees and your eyes. not exactly low maintenance but wouldn't need weeding and would help reduce the number of chickweed seed that are in the bed at the end of the year.
You don't have to use brisket all the time you can use other cuts im going to try short ribs there is a recipe on line I'll have to debone them
Hi..... Meg and Ben and all of you and your daughter to love watching your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE
Did you know that the Irish don't eat corned beef, they eat boiled bacon. Nobody knows were the corned beef thing comes from.
Originally a German creation.
I’ve read that the immigrants from Ireland coming to New York found that they could only afford corned beef as it was the cheapest meat at the time. They always paired the corned beef meal with carrots, potatoes and cabbage as a way to provide a filling meal for very little money. The early Irish American had the dinner on Easter as a special meal after Lent and being able to eat meat once again. I guess for the same reason they started eating it for St Patricks Day,,,, good value
@@Gardendreamsforme This is pretty much it......
The Irish when they first arrived ended up living in the same areas as the Jewish folk emigrating, using the same shops etc, Jews dont eat Pork, so they used other cheap cuts.
Though going back further Beef was a meal for the wealthy, given the time it takes to raise the animal, the poorer folk got pork given you could raise a pig within a few months
Its not really a boiled bacon, its more of a Gammon, thats parboiled and then roasted in the oven, but it is a dish we eat throughout the year...
Boiled bacon sounds better than corned beef
The soil is looking so rich this year. The hard work is paying off. So happy for the Hollars'
Great visit with you today; thanks for sharing! Here in Alberta, Canada, I leave dead plant matter standing to shelter the ground from wind, cold & it traps the snow for moisture. We don’t get a lot of rain like you do, so snow melting is how our perennials survive & gives the seeds & little critters moisture. We’ve had beautiful weather but our spring snow is due to fall for the next few days, about 5 inches. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
I don't clean my garden till spring also... you never know what volunteers you'll get. I love putting chickweed on sandwiches like alfalfa sprouts, and Mullein... I let a couple go to seed last year and now I have it EVERYWHERE.
Thank you, Ben's dad, for the soil amendment!!! I can't wait to see these veggies! Yeah!!! Lots of fun things for this year!! ❤
Our FIG . We're east of Lexington KY,
For winter , We take the empty plastic mineral cut bottom out placed around the fig , and fill with straw. When it starts warming up I remove the straw out put keep the container there
I did that too when I started seeds. My oldest were from 1994 and they sprouted!! Good luck.
In IL and can't wait to be able to get out into the gardens. Thanks for the "fix". Noticed you had beet seeds. Great granddaddy taught me to soak the seeds overnight, plant and then walk on the row to break open the shell. Worked every time.
I never tire of Buggy and her knowledge! So a mazing for her age,
Beans, peas, & Okra!!!! Goooood eatin'!!!!!!!
I too enjoy a Hollar vlog. Always so practical. I am an elderly parent who is to look after and like to amuse myself. 💕💕🌻🌻
Here in California I left everything last fall. And most of my peppers seemed to have made it! Yay!
So quiet there!!
So good to see you outside Meg. Enjoy!😊
Next year those logs would be great for your woods (mushrooms).
Strawberries don’t tell the beautiful one. Lol
I had one pepper plant come back, it was potted but I forgot about it.
Chickens were very vocal today.
Happy growing season guys.
We live in SW MO. I’m glad we don’t have fire ants. 🙏🏻
Great Spring Video. I have been leaving my garden to overwinter for about three decades, but my biggest problem is slugs. When you get the new kiwi if the other one does not revive plant the new one on the opposite side of the arch to the one that is sprouting. The other one may not get as much sun and be in a frost pocket. Your soil is looking really good now and those hens are amazing. so is buggy.
Windy and cold here in Virginia also
Real corned beef hash!!! Wish I was there for breakfast!!! You’re looking great Meg! You inspired me to get a Bosch mixer, what a game changer!!!!
Great video and Hellos to the Hollar family! Makes my heart sing to see you all get out into the garden and see what made it through winter. Wishing I was out there helping you all. Thank you for sharing your busy Life with someone who cant get out into my own garden any longer. God Bless to your sweet family, tysm! ♥♥♥
These garden videos look so nice guys. I can practically smell the fresh earth watching you guys weed! I'm so enjoying your work in the garden and seeing the plants start to come up. Thanks for the tip about the blooming minerals and the Steve Solomon minerals from his book the Intelligent Gardener. So he has the recipe in the book and best to make it yourself. That's great that you're helping Brett! Yay, a whole bed of carrots! I didn't know you could cover the carrots with a tarp. I cover my peas with a tarp until they come up. Nice, you have a bunch of peach trees starting! Congratulations. Nice bunch of trees Ben! Oh boy, homemade corned beef! One day late but just as wonderful! Chickens will get mushed cabbage! Mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine. Thanks for this video Hollar family! Yum, corned beef hash for breakfast!
I planted some seeds today for starts, tried 2017 lettuce seeds I'll give it 2 weeks to come up then replant!
Y’all are the most realistic, down-to-earth homesteaders on TH-cam! I love watching your videos!.. I’m only a few hours north in VA
I love how every year the garden plots just get better and better. You guys are really working magic on that land. ✨️
Hi guys, love seeing you love your videos love your family
Rogue strawberries could be heeled in under the trees in the orchard. You could have strawberry and perennial chard as groundcovers there.
My home raised corned beef was a day late too, but still really tasty!
I'm impressed that Buggy recognizes strawberry plants that aren't fruiting at age 2 or 3. :)
Brett...You are a wonderful young man; your folks must be so happy for you to be interested in working the land. Are you taller than your Dad?!?!
Oh my goodness! Kiwi will take over the UNIVERSE! I’m in Greenville SC, so….ask me how I know.
Bye Buggy❤
