    I started taking a birth month. Everybody has a birthday, why stick with just one day a year for celebrating your life. From here on in I will be celebrating my life for a full month each year.

    I’m double your age if the person who posted about you turning 30 was correct. I so wish we had started homesteading earlier. I had my first day of doubt about us being able to get it done yesterday. So much work and I’m just not as strong or long lasting as I once was. Hopefully this gloom will pass and we won’t give up! Happy birthday! May you be blessed this year!

    I've been watching you guys for almost 3 years now. I moved to tonopah 1 year ago and got 10+ watermelons rn, 60+ sunflowers, 100+ carrots, tomato babies, a ton of acorn squash, alot of bushy cucumbers and Armenian cucumbers. If I were you guys I would have started to add woodchips EVERYWHERE as much as I could 4 inches if possible. Without woodchips I wouldn't have been able to have any of what is blooming right now. The woodchips also came with 30+ volunteer mesquite 10+ palms and a Palo Verde. I had to haul the woodchips because chip drop won't come to tonopah but it's probable the most crucial part of a successful garden. I have 2 acres and have covered only an eighth of an acre but the results have been DRASTIC. I'm 34 and will have a JUNGLE by the time I'm 40

I always look forward to OSRL updates, when I open TH-cam and I see your updates there it’s the first go to. A morning cups with Jess and Jim and I enjoy that very much. It seems so peaceful out there and it’s a fascinating environment. Take care, stay safe and stay healthy.

Loving both walls you've built thanks for the tour Jess, I'm sure you're getting a lot of satisfaction watching things growing and learning about your local birds and wildflowers it all looks great! I hope you get good news about the excavator but I know you'll get it done one way or another, keep smiling and enjoy starting on your next projects. Happy Birthday Jim, it's nice you took a little time to enjoy some downtime, treats and presents ❤

    Happy Birthday, Jim! I wonder if it is a June birthday, because mine was June 2nd. Not too many people have June birthdays. So cool that you got ammo and a sight. I got architecture books for my paintings! What a fantastic, superb video. I love bee and butterfly plantings as well as flowering plants. One of my front gardens in New York City is now a listed garden on the city's list of important gardens. Wow!. I started that garden in 1989!
    Our desert rose has 4 huge flowers on our Florida balcony. We have California cactus that have thrived. And our west Mexican Air plants have blossomed and grown like crazy. Just a super video! Thank you so much! Lluvia, stay away from those toads!!!

    Happy Birthday to Jim! Glad you got gifts which show that your peeps know what you like. Love Jess's Garden Tour, it's a neat micro world, in contrast to Jim's relatively macro work. Jim, I wish you stacked those stones together solidly and the cob was acting as grout, not structural. It seems to me that dried mud can't restrain big rocks. Maybe you are, and the rock stacking just seems unsteady to the couch-potato eye. Anyway, congratulations to all the life you have brought to the desert, and on all the great building. Always glad to see your next video.
