Shelby Dennis is a horse trainer here on TH-cam and recently released a short on how she makes her horses fly spray with just water, witch hazel, and essential oils! Hoping it’ll help with Ms.Buttercup’s fly issue. As other comments said, fly masks are an option too!
A tip from an Australian who is very used ti hot weather. Wear wide brimmed HATS when outside in the sun. It will reduce your body temperature and make being outside in the sun more comfortable.
So thankful for all of you. You have been there in some if my darkest hours when I felt like giving up, I have a chronic pain condition which affects most of my body now so makes it difficult to go out much or paint or make jewellery as I used to ......but you all have brought life back into my Soul and I thank you from my heart you both and your girls mean so much to me, you are like the family I never had. Thank you, you are an inspiration to all, I am happy and grateful that I found you so long ago before Kinsley came into your lives. Bless you all for giving me some peace, laughter and happiness watching you all. Take good care of one another and stay safe and happy. Much love always. Tan. Ps, we also have a golden retriever, male called Sonny as he is my sunshine . Blessed Be beautiful family. Xx
You are teaching your children really good life skills and love how you are helping them grow and will help a lot of families to grow their own food too. It is been tough with COVID and so encourages families to do the same
I’ve been watching you guys since the day Kingsley’s finger got hurt and you took her to the hospital! She was about 3 years old, and haven’t stopped watching you since! Been through your adoptions, you trying to fall pregnancy, Cassie having a heart op, you living in a caravan for so long, and you all have come a long way through good and bad, and I kept up with you, praying for you when needed, hoping for the best for you all, and I thank you for posting your life videos! You certainly keep me company. You are such lovely people, and I love how you take care of your kids, and your farm! Lots of love all the way from Athens Greece ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watch a number of channels on you tube. And I have to say I think your children have the greatest lifestyle. They are not loaded with the latest toys. They don’t sit in their iPads. They are like a few in fact most of the family’s I follow part of a Christian lifestyle as well. You are really amazing
Phil and Alex...I’m soooo proud of you and the blessing of watching you learn, apply, and do. You are such an inspiration and encouragement to so many. God is using your infertility and homestead journeys to minister to the world. I love you! Mama Kel ❤️
You can also dehydrate your green "tops" of things from the garden, broccoli, beets, carrots etc. Dry them completely, grind into a powder and add to scrambled eggs, sauces, smoothies for an extra boost of vitamins. Get some liquid calcium so the tomatoes that come on from the time you add it will not have end rot. It can also happen to peppers....blossom drop.
Guinea hens are good at letting you know if someone or something gets on your property. So, they may have been discovering their area of responsibility to protect. That is when when you will get the loud noise. It is a good thing.
Alex & Phillip, I have been watching you your family since you left California. I do not do Facebook or Twitter. I writing because I aire your whole. I need your help with my youngest grandson Branson Brice, Phx. AZ. They also live on a farm in Paulden, AZ. He was diagnosed with leukemia last Sunday 7/17/22. I am asking for prayers in the name of Jesus for his health to recover. He has been diagnosed with AML leukemia. I apologize I am putting on your blog as I have no other way to plead for your reader/ watchers to pray. Please God Bless Alex, Phillip and the girls. Thank you Claudia Williams Phx. AZ.
I live in the South of England, and yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded in England. It was 40.3 105°c and only got to 23-75f at night. Uk was hotter than Sahara desert and India. Buttercup is such a darling, let's hope the Guinea fowl stick with Buttercup eating all the bugs and ticks. Hope you all feel better soon. 🐄🐓🐔🥕🧅
I had clay vegetable beds I used compost and constantly turning the soil and the best thing ever I found was pig and cow poo mix it really well and then turn the bed over again so the compost and the poo are mixed well then give it a good watering and just keep on repeating makes a huge difference. The quality of the produce is absolutely amazing. Good job guys xx
I use crushed egg shells (I work as a cook in a breakfast restaurant so I have plenty 😂), but I also use expired milk and cream. I add tons of water to it and use it to water my tomato plants. I’ve been doing this for the last two years and never got a rotten tomato ever since!
Hello from Greece! We use the egg shells either to feed soil with calcium (very localized treatment obviously coz eggs are only so many) or in the chicken feed to provide chickens with calcium. We put egg shells on foil paper, in the hot oven for five minutes or so. Once they cool down, the egg smell has gone so chickens do not recognize what they eat and we do not risk them attacking their freshly laid eggs. So, blend baked egg shells down to powder and use them either in soil, or for your chickens! Love u guys!
To add collagen to y'all's body, once you crack the eggs put them in a large freezer bag & put in freezer & once it's full take them out lay them on a cookie sheet broken side up & bake @ 250° for 1 hour & once it has cooled put in a bullet or something similar & ground to a powder. You can add that to any of your food for good health benefits.
I love how you love nature. I have been watching for a long time and it’s amazing how you all have turned to a farm family. I love it and god bless. ❤️
I feel so proud for you guys to see how very far you have gotten with your garden and your knowledge of homesteading! I'm so impressed. I have been a follower for many years and you never ever disappoint with your vlogs. I'm glued to the screen every time! Thanks for sharing so much of your life and lifestyle with us! I love all the animals too : ) xoxoxo
I remember when I was little my parents and grandparents worked in their gardens. Some of the best memories and best tastes of the summer! Your kids getting so excited about the garden is so cute! 🙂
Wow, awesome carrots!! Beautiful! If you eat it right out of the dirt (just shaken off a bit), it supposed to help add those needed prebiotics to the gut. Great idea -- broth bags!
I LOVE ❤️ the long vlogs!! And I love when the whole fam is in them! The sounds your chickens make takes me back to when I used to spend summers at my Grandparents farm. Best years EVER!
Hi Alex, I collect my eggshells in a container (I use a pretty ceramic utensil holder) when it's full I pop the eggshells on a tray and pop in the oven for 15 minutes(whilst it warms up is perfect as not wasting energy) then I let them cool and then grind them in my coffee/spice grinder(pro tip it helps make it super clean and removes the smell of previous grind) then sprinkle into garden bed to make the calcium more readily available. if in between times for prepping/using in Arden then it stores Mickey in as glass jar until I need it, this way you can build up a supply ready for prepping your beds before winter as well :0) Hope this helps you or another reader, Best wishes, Mel
Hope you guys feel better! Our household has had Covid this week but we are doing better now. Your garden did awesome! We had a small one and it did ok but I would love to have a much bigger one next year!
Jacquie, do you know would that help with Brown spot all over my tomato plant’s leaves? Every tomato plant I have had this year is getting Brown spot, which spreads quickly on each plant and spreads from on e plant to a Another, working its way through the entire garden? I have a couple of the healthiest, big and bushy tomato plants in huge pots, away from everything else to try and protect them if I can! I planted them in compost that is supposed to have 12 months worth of feed, I have had crushed up egg shells in all of my beds for a good 6 months now and still, they get brown spot!! I am so new to all gardening, I have never enjoyed it until I got obsessed with strawberries last year and decided I wanted to try and grow some of my own! Of course that started everything and so I have been trying to grow tomatoes since the end of last year. I live in a semi tropical part of Australia, where I can pretty much grow all year round! When I see leaves with brown spot, I try to always remove them, which seems to stop it for a time, but it always comes back within a couple of weeks. Any advice at all would be so incredibly appreciated. 🙏🏼💜😘
I have this tomatoe Problem also sometimes.... i learned that you get a better harvest if you take the damaged fruit of the plant.... my tomatoes get healthier when i Do this.... and you can give them eggshells and Coffee pulver to give them an extra boost....
I did that last summer with my maters it help a lot. I also saved my egg shells, roasted them a bit til a bit tanned, then ran'em in my food processor to pulverize them and worked the eggshell powder into the soil then watered.
Use the red mineral salt block. That will help with the flys on the cow. Put it in a tube. So if it gets wet and starts to break down. She can still lick it and it doesn’t break down into the ground. It really does help with flys.
I love to watch all you guys make all things work, I am learning this myself 🙏👍❤️ the kids help so much no matter how hot it gets, They don’t complain❤️ wonderful kids🙏❤️👍🇺🇸
Thank you Philip, I did need to hear that today, struggling uphill with the little things I grow on my small balcony. It will get better, and onrme day I will have a garden! Question.. what is the size of your garden area?
Vitamin D is a must. I just love your garden. All I can say is y’all are amazing in all you do. Ricky is the cutest. So cute how she hangs out with you all. Another fun video.
I love your sweet little family. They are all cute, but Cassidy just makes me want to hug her...she is adorable 💜I love all the garden tips. We live in a small rural town in NC and we have a garden in the back yard, but are someday hoping to buy land and homestead. Watching all your videos will help us tremendously. 💯👍👍
I just recently watched another gardener on TH-cam give instructions on how to make water soluble calcium using eggshells and vinegar in order for your plants to benefit from the calcium in eggshells quicker. If I can find the video I'll come back and link it!
Thanks! "You keep going". We'll just keep going. Our garden has been a little disappointing. We've always had tomatoes. Our peppers have been better this year, but other veges have not produced much so far. Hopefully it will get better.
We are newbies. Only been planting vegetables for maybe two years, other than tomatoes, which we've been doing for many years. I've read that some veges do well in clay, do you know of some hardy crops that can grow well in clay until our soil improves?
Look at different varieties of carrots. Some have been bred to tolerate a lot more heat. William Dam Seeds in Ontario Canada have at least one non-gmo option.
Was wondering next year if your children would love Rainbow Carrots - Yellow, white, orange, Purple, Pink, Purple with orange on the inside. So much fun to pick them and not know which one you will get - also could let one packet go to seed (leave for a year let flower and save seed). Some companies do seperate colours if you like specific ones
Thank you for sharing your lives with us!! I enjoy the videos so much! So inspirational and positive! Love you guys!! I've watched you since the condo! ❤️❤️
They have a Fly net you can purchase to cover her eyes to protect her from the flies... Also a fly sauve you can purchase at a feed store or online...

Cassidy is so cute and endearing and her little voice is sweet.If you have a surplus of vegetables would you consider selling them.I adore your cow jumper Alex.
Shallots garlic and onions all together it must smell so so good in there! I was just thinking how well you guys have been of late...shoot!! The carrots look amazing too. Be well guys!!!
Did you know - females speak in 2 syllables and males speak in 1 syllable? That’s how you determine their gender. I raised 2 dozen guineas 5 years ago and had to rehome them to a sweet family like yours. They were great - ate scorpions & other bugs and are great to announce visitors. I miss my guineas. Looks like you have “Pearl” color. I saved their feathers and put them in a large glass lamp in my living room.
My mom cooks a lot of apples, she's 89, she always peels them. I get her to save and freeze all of the apple peels and cores. Then when I visit and berries are on sale I use the apple peels and cores with the berries and a bit of diabetic safe sweetener to make preserves for mom. I can also use apple juice to make apple jelly. It makes me feel good to use the apple scraps.
I would really appreciate if you could do a video on how you’re preserving all of your garden veggies! Thank you! 🙌🏻 like how do your ropes of onions not go bad?
After trying for years to have carrots for the winter my favorite method is coco coir! Regardless of the method tried them all the carrots can’t touche each other ;)
My gran was in service,and worked in a big house as a cook.....she used to put a tea spoon of sugar into soup and stews,it brings out the flavours.......your welcome ☻
Garlic salt. Has helped some beef farmers with decreasing flies. Look up Just a few acres on you tube. He is trying many different things for fly control.

Don't apologise for long videos, I could watch you at work in the garden for hours !!

Can you even believe how far you guys have come? This has been amazing to watch. From the condo in CA to farmers in TN. Awesome!
You are teaching your children really good life skills and love how you are helping them grow and will help a lot of families to grow their own food too. It is been tough with COVID and so encourages families to do the same

Is Cassidy actually doing her abc's now?!!! (at 19:50) That's amazing!!! Good job! She is growing up so fast. Fantastic garden harvest!
Cassidy is so cute. I love hearing her talk.
I've seen a few cows with fly masks to help protect their eyes. Maybe that could help her. I can imagine that's so bothersome for sweet Buttercup.
Alex & Phillip, I have been watching you your family since you left California. I do not do Facebook or Twitter. I writing because I aire your whole. I need your help with my youngest grandson Branson Brice, Phx. AZ. They also live on a farm in Paulden, AZ.

you can get her a fly mask like most use for horses..it will help a ton! I absolutely love yall's homestead!!

Just so you are aware. They say not to preserve tomato’s that have blossom end rot. They are fine to eat but a no no for preserving :)
The excitement that you show when you talk about the garden is wonderful to see. I am happy for you all.
In the ER waiting to find out if I have another clot in my lungs! A vlog from you is the perfect way to pass the time🙂
Praying you are doing ok !!
That vaccine is danger
Hope your ok
Finger crossed that you don't.
Prayers!
CASSIDY IS SO SMART
Tomatoes also need magnesium. So along with eggshell also try sprinkling epsom salt onto soild too and giving it a water in

Also if you have clay soil you can add earthworms to aerate your soil and enrich the soil. I did a lot of research for my garden

I like that phrase, "let your love multiply". It's a goodie.

Hi 👋 how are you doing today
Hope you guys feel better! Our household has had Covid this week but we are doing better now. Your garden did awesome! We had a small one and it did ok but I would love to have a much bigger one next year!
Add Epsom salt and broken up tums in water then water your your tomatoes. It will help get rid of blossom end rot. Glad you’re all healing.

Carrot tops make awesome pesto! Just use it in place of basil, or w/ some basil. Also throw them is smoothies. Lots of other uses
Hello Cathy how are you doing today?
I love to watch all you guys make all things work, I am learning this myself 🙏👍❤️ the kids help so much no matter how hot it gets, They don’t complain❤️ wonderful kids🙏❤️👍🇺🇸
Hi Connie how are you doing today
Thank you Philip, I did need to hear that today, struggling uphill with the little things I grow on my small balcony. It will get better, and onrme day I will have a garden!
Question.. what is the size of your garden area?
Hope you all feel better soon. Love your excitement about your amazing garden x
Hi Carolyn how are you doing
So wonderful for your kids. You make it fun while teaching.
you can also dehydrate carrot tops and then blend them into your own greens powder. you can add anything in too.
Since carrots and parsley are related, you can use the tops as you would parsley.
When you do your carrots in the fall . And you add compost Add sand to the compost. It'll give the carrots an easier root first.
You can overwater your tomatoes to get end rot on your tomatoes as well as underwater ingredients as well.
Cabbage quarters wrapped in foil on the grill is amazing ❤️❤️
Cassidy works so hard… She is always helping around 🤗
Vitamin D is a must. I just love your garden. All I can say is y’all are amazing in all you do. Ricky is the cutest. So cute how she hangs out with you all. Another fun video.

I use powder milk for about three times of watering, I pulled 1 tomato with BER this year!
Hello Nenang how are you doing
Oh my goodness Cassidy is so cute. And her little voice is adorable
Cassidy’s vocabulary has exploded! The little ponytail is super cute too! Your baby is growing into a little girl!
They should be saying more for 18+ at least what I’ve been told
I dry my carrot leaves and use them as parsley throughout the year
Look at different varieties of carrots. Some have been bred to tolerate a lot more heat. William Dam Seeds in Ontario Canada have at least one non-gmo option.
Buttercup! Those eyes, and Rickie is funny grunting around.
Love little girl's voice, growing up so fast.
Was wondering next year if your children would love Rainbow Carrots - Yellow, white, orange, Purple, Pink, Purple with orange on the inside. So much fun to pick them and not know which one you will get - also could let one packet go to seed (leave for a year let flower and save seed). Some companies do seperate colours if you like specific ones
Hello J. How are you doing today
You have such a lovely family and you are doing an amazing job with your smallholding Glad that you are all feeling better xx ❤🥰
Thank you for sharing your lives with us!! I enjoy the videos so much! So inspirational and positive! Love you guys!! I've watched you since the condo! ❤️❤️
Hi Linda how are you doing
I have horses, get her a cow fly mask, and Endure or Pyranha Wipe N Spray (the yellow bottle) oil based sprays are the best/longest lasting
What in the world do your city friends think of the new Alex and Phillip? Such a change and I love it.
They have a Fly net you can purchase to cover her eyes to protect her from the flies...
Also a fly sauve you can purchase at a feed store or online...
Fly bait traps can help draw them away from her...
If she is next to the pig pen that will also attract them closer to her as well...
Praying for a Full & SPEEDY recovery in JESUS NAME I PRAY...
AMEN 🙏❤️💙💖💖💖🐕🤗✝️
I help. I do. I want. She is learning and doing so much.
Cassidy is so cute and endearing and her little voice is sweet.If you have a surplus of vegetables would you consider selling them.I adore your cow jumper Alex.
We LOVE spot it, we have three different packs, loads of laughs
I hope you feel better soon!
Shallots garlic and onions all together it must smell so so good in there! I was just thinking how well you guys have been of late...shoot!! The carrots look amazing too. Be well guys!!!
Oh my God the girls are so adorable and Cassidy is something else oh she's adorable you guys! Love you all
Hi Katherine how are you doing
The sand method has worked for me. Put on concrete floor and cover with a blanket to keep cool in. So yummy!
Did you know - females speak in 2 syllables and males speak in 1 syllable? That’s how you determine their gender. I raised 2 dozen guineas 5 years ago and had to rehome them to a sweet family like yours.
They were great - ate scorpions & other bugs and are great to announce visitors. I miss my guineas. Looks like you have “Pearl” color. I saved their feathers and put them in a large glass lamp in my living room.
Everything is looking so good.
That is a beautiful harvest right there! How do you store all those veggies so that they last until the fall?
Awwe...I love my dada ...bless her xxx
My mom cooks a lot of apples, she's 89, she always peels them. I get her to save and freeze all of the apple peels and cores. Then when I visit and berries are on sale I use the apple peels and cores with the berries and a bit of diabetic safe sweetener to make preserves for mom. I can also use apple juice to make apple jelly. It makes me feel good to use the apple scraps.
I would really appreciate if you could do a video on how you’re preserving all of your garden veggies! Thank you! 🙌🏻 like how do your ropes of onions not go bad?
You’re guys place is so beautiful. 🙌🏼 So much nature. Love light blessings & protection your way. God bless.
You've done an amazing job guys ! I'm so happy for you. You are such an inspiration. 🌻❤️
Amazing onion crop. Mine did nothing this yr in Colorado.
How will you preserve them? Bundling them and hanging will that keep them fresh for a year🤔🤔🤔🤔?
Phil is always so encouraging. Thankful for you both!
Have you tried wondercide? It’s all natural and it’s made with lemongrass and it REALLY works against flies and mosquitoes
Did you both ever ever think that from coming from a condo and working in nicu, to what you have now?, what a journey !!!!!!!! Wow !!!!!
After trying for years to have carrots for the winter my favorite method is coco coir! Regardless of the method tried them all the carrots can’t touche each other ;)
Do you start the cabbage inside ? When will you start your fall garden?
I absolutely love your beautiful family hope you feel better soon sending hugs 🤗
Your garden is amazing and beautiful
Living by a dairy we have learned to put those fly bag in the back part of our yard to draw them away from our house.
Thank you for the information on the tomatoes. My potted tomatoes are doing that. I pour old milk on mine. maybe I'll add some egg shells too
I’m enjoying your adventure so much, we use to garden. You are full of such great information, thank you for sharing.
An outside sink and work area would be nice and keep kitchen from having to be cleaned so much
Oooh! I'm jealous of your beautiful sunflowers! I've always wanted to roast/grill a sunflower head! (emmymade has a video on how to do it)
