Been watching your videos since the beginning. Now, I think I enjoy watching the kids as much or maybe more than the actual farming. They are all growing up FAST.....even Henry! My gosh, the boy was just born the other day!!!!! :)
Technically, the hard iron rake is called a rock or landscape rake and the flexible fan shaped rake is called a leaf rake (as it will take leaves that top grass or stone).
That "soft" rake my dad told me when I was a kid in the 60's is called a leaf rake... the hard rake was called a yard rake... he used to take that hard rake and rake the dicken's out of weeds in the grass..
I would take one of the metal pans to a sheet metal shop as a sample and have them custom make one to the exact dimension you need. It would be far less expensive and a lot quicker.
All Justin's and Rebecca children, will turn out to be fantastic adults.. because of their wonderful way of raising their children...God keeps blessing y'all because y'all are doing it according to him... keep going..
I feel like as young adult till i was weee lad I stuck around my older brothers more because at the time it was hard to comprehend things and learn things. This is just my take, it just takes time for kids and teens to grow and adapt, your doing fine but always remember to be reasonable yet stern. Growth and foundation are key to long peaceful life.
Have some medical quality superglue around for when I cut myself like that. Works wonders for sealing up clean cuts (or small ones after you clean them). Superglue was actually invented on accident during WWII and has been used since to seal wounds (I always fix broken kids toys with it WAY too much).
It was good to see Randolph back on the homestead. He has been missed; glad his knee is doing good enough for him to get around. It was also good to see Rebekah up and about although she didn't look very strong.
Years ago i lied to you when i said i had a tomato plant. Truth was I was just watching, for the fun content. Plus I surprise my gardener friends with my permaculture knowledge. Its a win win. Plus i always hit the like 👍 button.
Just because 2 people doesn't make work twice as fast and 3 people dont make it 3 times as fast, it does generally make it significantly faster AND easier than doing it alone.
Hi, I appreciate your videos, it helps me plan for my future garden, we are buying our first country house and plan to start a garden and have chickens. I noticed at 4:33 a lamb limping, I don't know if you noticed, is it the one you separated the other day ? Have a nice day
Yes now is the time - Training him in the warmer weather is the best time. He is outdoors a lot. Just put him in t shirt and underwear and taught to backyard pee! Every boy wants to do that so it’s guaranteed he ll be peeing a lot!
Maybe using walkie talkies to check in with the kids if everything's OK would make then feel less roared at? You roar they're naturally going to roar back. Instead of yelling a simple hey can do you need a hand? Through the walkie talkie would have created a better attitude from your young rapidly growing teen.
Just how in the heck, do you think farmers communicated with their children on the farm before technology.. people these days are to delicate.. including you.@@4BWVan
lol grabbing the camera when it was sliding and saying sTaY wItH mE hahahaha and then the they all busted out just leave us aloneeeee from the kids lollllll
Yep, my boy is 15 now and he is starting to size me up, you know when they look down and they start at your feet and look all the way up to eye level and he relize he is 2" taller than you and he just take 2 seconds to long to respond to what you asked him to do, and at that very momernt you relize for the first time he is growing up very fast now. And when you bend over to give him a hug like a year ago but this time he rebounds and do the fist pump and wispers "Yikes man, what is wrong with you?" that you know he has become a stranger living under your roof. But never fear, I still hold the Wallet, I can't wait when he wants a car and he askes me, "Dad? How about it, I need $8000 for a car" that I go on the attack. "Yes son, No problem, It will only cost you a one hug!" that suddenly he turns into your little boy again! LOL!
My son wants me to try to sign up for one of Justin's future on farm classes just so he can meet Lilly, smh. Im not against on farm classes, i love the idea of learning from someone who knows what they are doing before we get to the point where we are going to start butchering with only a TH-cam university education. The problem is that we are in California and there's people closer to us that you can get that in person education from, to my sons great disappointment.
@@Oururbanhomestead1966A good education is so important for the future as adults to be able to get a good paying job. I too don’t see that schooling is a priority in this home. We will soon know as the oldest should have one more year or so before he graduates from high school. All five kids can’t stay in the farm and support their families without outside jobs. These kids have been sheltered too much and this is not a good thing when they need to face the outside world as young adults.
Don’t let the older boys run your show. When I was 16, I still had to mind my Dad and Mom. I wasn’t allowed to sass my parents either. Teenagers need guidelines and choices. Just because they gripe doesn’t mean they shouldn’t help with things you need help with.

She has an autoimmune disease. Unless you've experienced it, you have no idea how much it zaps your life. Especially in times of stress.

@@joshhettel7157 YES she does! You obviously don't watch this channel enough to know what you are talking about. Just here to criticize. When she was pregnant with Henry she had to adjust her thyroid medication.
they couldn't in the beginning they were straight up dirt poor and in debt, it's taking them years to get to this point were they can buy the nice things.
@@Gildragil70if they were dirt poor how did they afford the land/house? Also they don’t make money homesteading. The majority of the income is from TH-cam
@@joshhettel7157 it's mostly land that his granddad bought in the 30's, he brought the land from his dad, then i think he manged to buy a little more land, but that was over years not all at once, and i never said he made money from homesteading, most of us don't, we all have other jobs to support homesteading. also the houses were there when Justin was a kid.
The young men are still needing to learn respect and manners to their father. Teenagers get too big for their boots 🥾, they think they know it all. Us older adults remember the mistakes we made and we certainly learned the hard way. They’re (boys), choosing the easiest jobs, jobs they like doing.
Justin everybody can see it's natural for kids to pick the easy jobs they like. You are seeming to pretend it's the best division of labor as your stuck with the bad jobs. Coolest part of the day everybody needs to do the hard jobs nobody wants to do. As the day heats up everyone do the easier jobs they like.
She has a serious chronic disease, immune issues and she has been the one making most of the decisions for the house renovation. You might want to consider being kinder.
Rude is rude. Have a talk with him, U & him. It dose not get better & young ones will learn from him. Shame on him.Do we love him YES , you love him; have that talk.
You have two young men and a young lady that are making a mark. They do not need to be micro-managed, they know what to do (the majority of the time). Fan shape is leaf rake. Hard rake is a fire rack. Fire fighters use them when controlling fire lines, etc.
I’m getting avoid with how sassy Jonah is becoming as he gets older. Is it just me? “Leave us alone!” Not sure I’d let my sons talk to me like that ever!
@TLadret it's a teenager thing for sure. My son tried it twice and I stopped that cold! He never did it again and my daughter learned from that not to even try!
@@Watchfulfoodie Not all children become continent at the same pace as others. A good parent encourages, supports but doesn't denigrate or punish a slower child. It will happen when the time is right. Please give grace to people who have different experiences than you may have had
It could just be for bedtime too?? I've known kiddos who sleep HARD through the night & little farmer boys I'm sure hes tuckered out! But I do agree for the day 2nd brithday mine are potty trained (I've done 5 so far & 2more to go (twins))
Couldn’t you use the goats and sheep to clean up the garden area, put few fences around the land and let them go at it. Plus adding more fertilizer. . Work smarter not harder, just a good idea for next time. I started watching as you stopped camp /driving. Feel in love with your family as a whole. Best family Chanel and start your homestead. Try out my idea you will love it. Trust a long time follower.
All your kids are just amazingly helpful..even when they don’t want to lol…but Lily for her age is absolute Gold!…love and blessings to you guys❤
She is a Rockstar! But really, maybe doing too much for her age

So sweet to watch Gideon grow up. He's turning into quit the young man.
Justin Rhodes you are a good dad to your kids. Full of patience. You also enjoy the company of your kids. You are amazing 😊❤
I love your patience with family as you strengthen each other GOD Bless you and yours always ☺️
LOL "Sorry its not a unicycle" I nearly spit my tea laughing. Not used to hearing Jonah be sassy LOL He must ne having a challenging day.
It’s good to see Randolph back. I hope he is feeling better and better every day 👍💜
Technically, the hard iron rake is called a rock or landscape rake and the flexible fan shaped rake is called a leaf rake (as it will take leaves that top grass or stone).
I have seen the "hard rake" listed as a Garden Rake.
@@schex9yep, that’s what I call it, a garden rake.

“Just leave us alone.” Kids not in the mood for meddling. 😂
had i replied to my father that way...i'd be fertilizer for the field
I love the community soccer game!! I’m glad you always make time to play with the kiddos - you have a beautiful family. ❤

It seems you need a family meeting every evening to designate what needs to be done and who it doing it the next day.

I noticed at 4:33 a lamb limping, I don't know if you noticed, is it the one you separated the other day ?
Have a nice day
Flat card bord put in your garden add dirt and broken up ashes or small sticks than dirt keeps weeds out.
What do the kids want to do when they grow up? All homesteaders or is there a teacher, doctor or software engineer among them?
Obviously, Lily is a horse trainer or equine vet and Henry is a tractor driver. 😅
The boys seem testy lately lol. Same bros. This heat insane.
One is yard rake one is garden rake. . Heavy one. Kids are so much help. They love farm
The kids are growing up so quick 🇳🇿🙏🏼
4:39 teen boys! 😂 You’re a good daddy Justin
Let Henry know when the new diaper box is empty he will be a big boy, going potty, and wearing special big boy briefs!
Yes now is the time - Training him in the warmer weather is the best time. He is outdoors a lot. Just put him in t shirt and underwear and taught to backyard pee! Every boy wants to do that so it’s guaranteed he ll be peeing a lot!

I love insert videos,makes me laugh.Love this channel
Your family is awesome 💯
Did you know steam carrot 🥕 tops steam add brown sugar drops of vinger. Lots of Vitamins. I found out this year around June.
another thing on Epsom salt.. aka magnesium.. a lot of pro growers also use 1 gram per gallon for fertilizer.. the more you know 😅
I use3 cups of it in hot, hot water to soak my entire body when the pain gets overwhelming. It helps a lot‼️
What's preventing the appliance install? I couldn't hear.
