Morning to everyone. This is my favorite TH-cam video. I love everything about it , the family life , the chicken's the goats all of them are so pleasing to watch in the mornings. Thanks for all the filming you do for us watchers.
I love seeing you guys working together in the garden. You share the joy of all the little blessings. I garden alone and enjoy my time in the garden but I can see the beauty in the team approach. God is good!

Good morning everyone, Al and Gina, that greenhouse looks pretty awesome, you guys need to be so proud of how everything has turned out. I have learned so much from watching this channel. Thank you so much for all the lessons.
saw a cartoon, guy was tossing a rock up and down and catching it. He says, " a rock! to throw it, to skip it on the pond, to give it to my sister, to keep it?" Wow! Life was simpler when I had nothing!"
Your veggies look wonderful! My mouth was watering! You and Gina should be proud.🤗 Hopes tummy looks like it’s growing, Yeah! Love her🤗 👍🏻🌻💕🙏🏻🙏🏻 Olivia is growing so fast!
The growth in the greenhouse is wonderful. Thank you, Gina, I'd never seem small meatloaf before. I could make them and freeze some. That way I could have meatloaf when I want it without waste. God Bless
You might want to help your squash along by playing the bee. You can use a makeup brush or q-tip to distribute pollen from the male flowers to the female fruit bearing flowers. Especially since the greenhouse doors are closed quite a bit and with the rain.
I’m nominating y’all for the FAMILY OF THE YEAR AWARD I love the way you pray together work together and eat together. It very obvious that y’all are very happy. I love every episode. Thank you for the videos.
if the green house supplier sells the doors individually, i have now swapped my inside doors on to the out side of the frame and added two new doors on the inside, but they are covered with fine mesh fabric to reduce the access for insects, but allows a breeze into the green house... working good so far... i also covered the vents with fabric too...
KNIGHTS MEDIA CLUB do you ever let the birds out of those houses. They look so crowded. I worry about them need some more room. I’m a terrible animal n7t and a terrible worry work about all animals. Crazy I know
Guys... your greenhouse is a vision Realized. Learning a lot about ' cleaning up' plants for better fruit production. I used to be nervous about trimming off leaves but now I see the wisdom of it.
Al Gina, Olivia, There's just bounty everywhere! A tribute to some smart working. Went over to the allotment yesterday. First time out in three months! Did some gardening. Sore today. Lots of stuff growing courtesy of my friend Franco. Have a great day! Regards Stephen.
I’m really impressed how well everything is growing for you, and the goats are truly making a racket today. I wish my garden would do better here in NM, but between no rain to speak of, and the city water i just don’t know which is worse. Working in the hospital 5 days per week keeps me even busier but it is what it is that’s for sure.
Chris, I live in Indiana and it seems to rain a lot most seasons. I collect rain water in a barrel and water my little garden. It takes a little longer but i don't like the city water on my plants. I love my tomatoes and fresh veggies. 16 tomato.plants is a lot for 1 person but i give a lot of them away. stay safe at work.
I collected the rain water in water tanks to use during the Texas heat and drought. Lots of luck. Gardening is the way to relax. Be safe in the hospital.
I took some tomato cuttings and put them in water with a willow branch in it...in a few days there were roots....I’m using them for replacements of some tomatoes that were eaten and I’ll wrap them with some tulle until they take in the ground...... Love the sound of rain...if I had a greenhouse I’d be sitting out there on a rocker and listening to the rain and having my coffee
Fixed our first zucchini today for dinner. Sliced, added onions and garlic and sauteed everything with some olive oil. Delicious! Love watching your daily life on the homestead.
A flat beer, 16 oz of mint mouthwash, and 1cup Epsom salt: mix till salt is dissolved, put in spray bottle, use generously non-toxic, organic, and best of all bugs hate the flavor of mint mom uses it to keep the mice and rouches under control has used it for years
I made a fresh kale pasta salad with yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and kalamata olives, with a red wine vinegar & oil parmesan cheese dressing. It was delish!
The greenhouse looks amazing! Thank you for adding your recipes. I’m going to try the beet greens and I like the individual meatloafs. We are looking forward to the zucchini fruiting(thanks for the pruning tips) we love making fried zucchini or cashew chicken with ours. Keep up the great work! We always love watching your videos. My daughters favorite animal is Figaro. She loves seeing all the mischief he gets into.
Its a highlight of the day to watch your vlog. Thank you for all inspiration! About the missing tomato plant... let the neighbourplant grow an extra tip and use the string that lost its plant. the root system can manage two tips since you grow your tomatoes in soil instead of medium. Im so impressed with your tenacious work with the animals and in the garden!
Good Thursday mornin New Yolk City .... your garden & high tunnel are doing fantastic .... wonderful growth! Will be sorry to see the young bucks go, but you only need so many .... just like roosters. Good to see you are getting some more rain ... couldn't believe how dry your soil was getting. Have a great day AL, Gina & Olivia ... take care.
Your greenhouse garden looks fantastic. It all has grown so much. It seems like yesterday you were out there on the ladders making the greenhouse. The sauteed beets looked so good. Yummy.
Loved seeing you guys are growing Walla Walla onions! Being from and still live in Washington state, where the Walla Walla sweet onions come from...it always makes me super happy and proud to see folks growing our type of onions around the country!!! Thanks!!
If you like beet greens, you will love Swiss Chard. Already harvesting Zucchini and Swiss chard, beets, and carrots, and green beans. Gardening is easy these days with work still shut down. Now I know what it feels like to be retired from work. Loving it!.
Gayle WATKINS other channels say that once or more EVERY video! We got this!! When we like something we do like and comment. Al is respecting our understanding of the process of how we can show we value and appreciate his content. ... use his promo codes to purchase things and watch the commercials.
Garden in the greenhouse is just amazing....the outside gardens are doing very well also. Are the two boy goats going to the same home? Good rain you're getting today, that is great for your pastures too. Have a Blessed day.
Another great and awesome video. You are wearing a sweat shirt and I am wearing a t-shirt. We were in the 90s yesterday. The animals are looking great. Thank you for sharing. God bless America.
I have Black Krim tomatoes this year also. The vines are loaded with beautiful green fruit. Can’t wait for the taste of the first one. I’m in middle NC and we’ve had perfect weather for them this year. Yours are beautiful.
This rain has been very needed though.. We are in Brattleboro so not to far from you and we have been begging for the rain. Its hard to not be able to work outside but better than a drought!
Gina, its so good to see you working full time on the homestead. Your doing an amazing job. Your alott braver than me. I have wanted to start a TH-cam chanel about a city garden but its hard to get passed that fear of being in front of the camera. Your a natural. Could you give me the biggest best tip, that helped you get going in front of the camera? Thanks for an awesome amazing homestead that teaches me so much, every time I click on your videos. Take care, God bless DEB.
I love the simple, wholesome dinner! Meatloaf is a favorite of mine and those beet greens looked awesome. My tomatoes can grow several inches in a few days. They are way taller than I am and still growing. Our cukes are also taller than me and we have some almost ready to pick. Blessings to all.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Loving the sound of the rain. Everything is growing so well. You must be so proud of all the work you’ve done and all you’ve accomplished! Another great dinner Gina! Take care.
I shred up greens and add them to all kinds of things, like rice dishes, bean soups, scrambled eggs, etc. Anything hot enough to wilt them. I love the looks of those beet greens! I have chard coming on and will try chopping the stems and cooking them first.
Your green house is looking beautiful! All the plants are thriving so well! And I like the idea of mini meat loafs, great when serving children, you can make them any size ! 😊👍💕💕💕
Green House looks Great, love the sounds of rain. Learn something new today trim the leafs off the zucchini and squash plants . Dinner looked Delicious.
Put the “whole additional plant” that you cut off of one tomato into the ground where you pulled one. If you plant it deep and keep it watered it will grow roots and produce.
You have such a beautiful healthy Farm. The Crops especially are a sight to behold! Proving to us all & the critics, that natural is always best, esp. with good practice. I always enjoy watching the cooking as well. The Green House combined with the crops outside are a great idea. So Thank you for sharing :))
When trimming my tomatoes early in the growing season I sometimes will take a good sized sucker and plant it 6 inches deep . It will take a few days to take but usually it takes. The tomato leaves make a great pesticide.
@@brucealvarez9263 Tomato leaf spray will not be as effective on tomato plants as it is on other plants. The reason being that insects that tend to prey on tomato plants have developed somewhat of a natural resistance to it over eons of evolution. It is helpful on tomatoes but more effective on other plants in your garden. There are other organic pesticide recipes using rhubarb leaves, garlic and tobacco. Feel free to do your own research.
Growing up in the north I had never heard of cooked greens. The closest we ever got was creamed spinach. As an adult I have found I really like them, and any kind of green works. Beets, turnips, radish, kale, spinach, cabbage, chard and when I didn't have anything else on hand, even romaine has gone in the pan. So easy and so good. Love the cooking segments!
One of our favorite was to incorporate more greens in our diet is sauteing kale and pouring mixed eggs and scramble. Nice change for breakfast or supper.
Al and Gina, if you keep picking them off that will work too. That is what we do; as we don't use chemicals on our garden either. 2 July 20 we are having problems with Japanese beetles and I keep going out and pick them off and put them in soapy water. I don't kill them as they put pheromones and it draws more in. Al where did you get you shears to cut your plants? Wow look at every in the greenhouse and the outside raise beds; look Awesome.I think in New York City you will have to clip there wings too
Fried squash blossoms are yummy too not just the squash. Pick fresh, dip in egg then in seasoned bread crumbs and fry. Really good with a cream cheese filling too.
Hiya, I to love the sound of the rain, especially when it's on my computer! Going by Ginas' smile in the greenhouse the garden is indeed her happy place. May I ask why the French marigolds at the start of the tomato beds? I think from your love of good fresh food you are of French stock, my great gran was. Do you want a lodger? Take care & stay safe... Steve...
Love the rain!! AL... You and Gina need some comfy chairs to sit on and drink coffee inside the greenhouse...especially on beautiful rainy days. Hahaha My first time growing Cherokee Purple Tomatoes... love them and I also grew Barrys Crazy Cherry Tomatoes...yellow in color... they are crazy... the production on those cherry tomatoes are insane! Definitely going to regrow them again. AL another tomato variety I grew and they are huge... are the German Pink...those are going to be for future BLT Sandwiches! Hahaha...My new 3 favorites to grow this year. GOD BLESS Y'ALL and keep up the amazing job! Take care!!
@@cathiwim I was watching Jessica from Roots and Refuge.. and she said everyone should have a chair in their garden....i bought a rocker from Lowes...and it's so therapeutic and so relaxing hahaha. Since quarantine I've been able to build 9 Gardens and my parents backyard and even though quarantine is a hassle it sure has brought out the gardener in me even more so. I love it. We decided here to create a food forest in the back of the yard and it's so beautiful to get up early in the morning sit in the rocker listen to the birds singing and watching the hummingbirds flying here and there wow enjoying the quiet of the morning
Holy Smokes, you're going to be turning into zucchini when you harvest all of those! My dad used to always say if he could get a dime for every zucchini he grew, he'd be a millionaire by next fall. I grow a bunch of them too, but I gift about 90% of mine to my chickens. They won't touch them till they're cut open, so I just give them a few Shovel chops.
You could build a catchment system at the bottom of the greenhouse plastic. What a great resource that would be. Auto drip irrigation when it's raining. Do you need pressure for the drip tape you're using?
You could put the “whole ‘nother plant” clipping in water and when it roots, plant in the spot of the one you pulled up.. everything is looking great! It’s crazy how fast things grow! The sound of the rain on your high tunnel roof would put me to sleep in about 3 minutes.. Gina, I LOVE that blue roasting dish you put your carrots in! Is that a Prarie Woman dish? I love the robin’s egg blue color! I don’t eat beets or their greens, but my grandmother used to make a squash casserole that was SOOOOO good! I’ve forgotten the recipe because my husband hates squash, but I’ll find hers and send it to you... That dressing mix that Gina put in her meat loaf would also be good to mix in with cooked squash and ( with other ingredients ) baked in a casserole..
Al, @ 10:46 you say the plant has a whole 'Nother plant growing on it. I cut those off and root them in water to make new plants. I take about a week then I put them in a pot to form more roots for another week. if you use only the ones as thick as your pinky they quickly catch up to you other plants and will keep producing well into late fall/winter if you keep them warm. I had one I potted and brought inside, then took it outside the next spring. (some people plant the rooted plant right in the ground, but I have not had success with that)
Just realized that when I fell in love with Hope when she was born and wanted her but couldn’t have her and then she showed up with you that I would eventually get my own black and white Nigerian and name her Nadia ... which interprets as hope in English.

Especially when it's a much needed rain! 😊 🌧
Rain puts me right back to sleep like a newborn baby after he/she nurses. I love it! Blessings!❣
Especially on a tin roof
Good morning lumnah family. Look forward to a new adventure every day.
Good Morning Lummah Acres watching from the UK. I like listening and working in the rain.
Have a awesome days
I just love seeing your goats! Thanks for letting us tag along! Sound of rain is very soothing - so long as it’s a gentle rain.
You might want to help your squash along by playing the bee. You can use a makeup brush or q-tip to distribute pollen from the male flowers to the female fruit bearing flowers. Especially since the greenhouse doors are closed quite a bit and with the rain.
They may not be "squash" beetles but they are 'squashed' beetles. LOL

I'm in a warm bed on a cold early winter night in southern Australia enjoying Lumnahs ...and the rain is easy on the ear..

Holy Smokes, you're going to be turning into zucchini when you harvest all of those! My dad used to always say if he could get a dime for every zucchini he grew, he'd be a millionaire by next fall. I grow a bunch of them too, but I gift about 90% of mine to my chickens. They won't touch them till they're cut open, so I just give them a few Shovel chops.
I never knew about pruning summer squash and zucchini!! Thanks.
Sharon LaRochelle theres a video about that. -th-cam.com/video/mqkpifoEUfc/w-d-xo.html the Michigan Gardener
You could build a catchment system at the bottom of the greenhouse plastic. What a great resource that would be. Auto drip irrigation when it's raining. Do you need pressure for the drip tape you're using?
You could put the “whole ‘nother plant” clipping in water and when it roots, plant in the spot of the one you pulled up.. everything is looking great! It’s crazy how fast things grow! The sound of the rain on your high tunnel roof would put me to sleep in about 3 minutes.. Gina, I LOVE that blue roasting dish you put your carrots in! Is that a Prarie Woman dish? I love the robin’s egg blue color! I don’t eat beets or their greens, but my grandmother used to make a squash casserole that was SOOOOO good! I’ve forgotten the recipe because my husband hates squash, but I’ll find hers and send it to you... That dressing mix that Gina put in her meat loaf would also be good to mix in with cooked squash and ( with other ingredients ) baked in a casserole..
also when you prune squash leaves it encourages more flower production
Al, @ 10:46 you say the plant has a whole 'Nother plant growing on it. I cut those off and root them in water to make new plants. I take about a week then I put them in a pot to form more roots for another week. if you use only the ones as thick as your pinky they quickly catch up to you other plants and will keep producing well into late fall/winter if you keep them warm. I had one I potted and brought inside, then took it outside the next spring. (some people plant the rooted plant right in the ground, but I have not had success with that)
Just realized that when I fell in love with Hope when she was born and wanted her but couldn’t have her and then she showed up with you that I would eventually get my own black and white Nigerian and name her Nadia ... which interprets as hope in English.
