Wow.. garage came together good. Love the idea of putting fruit trees in the garden to provide shade. Sucker’s are doing excellent. Tell hubby he’s got my vote for being the best! Did you see MI Gardener has 50% off seed’s Saturday & Sunday? Code fall50.❤😊
Yep! Debating about pulling my tomato plants… they are suffering in the heat, even though they are under shade cloth. They have flowers… I just hate killing plants!
You are not alone in many of the feelings you are having both in the garden and out. Gardening is so rewarding but a lot of hard work, dedication and sometimes tears. I always come back to how grateful I am to have the garden that the weeds and bugs want to live in.
I just finished moving items from the garage into a shed; particularly for gardening materials and larger machinery. Now my garage is back to becoming neat and I have all my gardening material in one area. Shelving and clear bins are definitely a must!
Dom I love your honesty of how overwhelming it can be trying to conquer that " list of things to do" for your garden, home and life. You are so relatable, but yet organized on your goals, and thats what matters. You and your hubby pulled the shed together nicely. The placement of the roses will add beauty, fragrance and pollinators.
Great episode. It's not about getting it all done. Look at it as "Stuff to keep you busy" but you will learn to take your time and not stress over it. Take it 1 day at a time. Stress causes sickness and pain. Don't do that to yourself.
@@faithfamilyhomestead I am going through the same thing. I relocated from NYC to Arizona desert 🏜 and I am doing a lot of self checking and detoxing from negative thoughts and habits. You are doing great, Queen. No need to try to complete everything. It is not a race and like you said... There will always be room for upgrades. Slow down a bit. Time yourself in your chores so you can atleast get variety chores done in a day. Also, give yourself a break! We see you are very strong woman. You have nothing to prove to us. Just allow your garden to truly become your therapy. Remember, everything waits for #YOU. You got this, Queen. Wishing you MUCH Peace of mind, Blessings, Safety and Great Health. #Amin🤲🏿🙏🏿🤲🏿
I just have to say that I truly appreciate you and your channels presence here on YT. This momma is proud of you young lady! God bless you and your family, Cindy aka red.
Thank you for sharing another great video Dom, love that you keep it real girl!! Sending lots of love and blessings to you and your beautiful family!! 😘💕🦋🦋🦋
Gardening and over all taking care of your homestead can be overwhelming at times 😉Do take breaks then come back to enjoy the land and your growing garden 🪴.
This is our 1st year doing a garden and our 9th year homeschooling.We have a very laid back approach as to homeschooling as well.Math is definitely not my strong suit,so we use teaching textbooks and it has worked well for us.As for the garden.....🥴
Why you didn’t put weed barrier cloth in the bottom of your raised bed garden? It will help keep the weeds out and it drain good. I have them in my raised bed and no weeds, with less work. That will cut a lot of the weeding. Just a suggestion. You have a huge garden and you are busy . Keep up the good work.
I put down cardboard over the whole garden. I wanted the bottoms of the beds to be open to allow roots to be able to eventually go down into the soil since my beds aren't that high off the ground
Hey there Dom. I was just thinking about this video today and how so many youtube gardeners/homesteaders I love have expressed the same challenge of feeling overwhelmed. I am not a homesteader, but I know I struggle too to 'get it all done' as well. Well have you ever heard of Fly Lady? She has a method of cleaning that breaks up monthly, weekly and daily tasks into manageable little chunks so that you aren't trying to do everything in one day. It is SOOOO HELPFUL! She breaks her home up into 4 "zones" and tackles one zone for just 15 minutes a day. I was thinking about the list of outdoor chores and wondered if there was a way to break up the garden into zones so they could be cycled through little by little. When you have sick kids, or other commitments, you come back and pick up where you left off. I am going to start making a list of everything that I know needs to be done outside, and then divide the tasks into "Daily, weekly and monthly" tasks and then just bite off a little each day. Lol, I will let you know how it goes, ha. Check out Fly Lady and see if something there inspires you!! :)
That's awesome 😍 I have heard of fly lady and followed either that one or a similar cleaning one at our old house for keeping up with chores inside and it did work lovely so maybe I'll look into it again!! The idea of making one for outside sounds lovely... My problem is more of a personality trait haha like compulsive 😅 when it comes to wanting something to be done, so although I know it isn't realistic it's hard sometimes to be ok with it not being ok haha if that makes sense
It's all beautiful. You are doing a great job, such a beautiful young family. We are going to use the Ron Paul curriculum for my daughter. Love self sufficient, food producing people, bless you!
I totally get what you're saying. Gardens are so fulfilling but they are a challenge with never being done. I set a goal for thr day, and if I achieve more than what I hoped for it makes me feel really good.
Really awesome video. I am inspired to continue my apartment patio garden. Every failure is an opportunity to learn. Thank-you for being so honest. Shalom Shalom
Hey don’t know if you would be interested but the big screen tv your getting rid of can be converted into a simple solar beam heater ( more so tv screen glass inside) Used to boil water in minutes Light a fire And cook with
Dom you do a wonderful job in the garden. It's easy to feel overwhelmed when you have a family, are dealing with garden issues and so many other things you do daily. Just do the best you can and try to do better the next day.
I have enjoy the total video you can only do what you can do. Dad kicks in when he can do the family thing and help out. Thank you for sharing this is what families do to come together and make it work
Please just know that you inspired me to tackle the clutter in my house this weekend. Your videos really help us. We can watch and be encouraged because you help us ...hang in there..I Absolutely Love you Channel
Thank you Dom It take time you and the family will get there I need to clean out my garden but like you said it hard work but we will get there have a bless week
Thanks so much for sharing from our great State of South Carolina I am so encouraged by the videos that you are putting out and I share them with family and friends as often as I remember through your TH-cam channel I hope that I can encourage as many people as possible in possibly taking a chance and at the very least think about experiencing the homestead lifestyle growing and raising their own food and getting back to the more natural way of things. May you and your family continue to be blessed with good health, growth, success and prosperity 🙏
Happy belated Birthday!! Thanking for sharing. Have a Blessed Weekend. Definitely lots of work and it's a lovely garden. I love that you are sharing your knowledge with everyone.
Girl what?! You need 2 tomatillos 🤦🏾♀️ Do they have to be the same variety? Let me go learn something🏃🏾♀️😂 Thanks for sharing 💜 I am definitely not ready for homeschool fully so you are not alone.
Just found you! Excited to start following all that you are doing! I’m sure everyone else already knows what state you live in, but could you tell me? Best of luck with your grapevines!! 😊
I appreciate you for being honest and open. This year will actually be my first year homeschooling my 4 year old mainly and two year old daughters. Any suggestions on the best place(s) where to start with homeschooling?
Your children are still so young so you have lots of freedom with play while learning etc. When my kids were 4 if they were ready I started with Easy Peasy All in one homeschooling on learning sounds, ABC, etc but really it depends on the kid. Some kids aren't ready to start "school" till 6ish
Ms Dom. I am always learning from you on your Galvinize beds I would like to purchase some of those beds would u please let me know the Co name or phone so I can an order.
Good evening, Dom do you have any homeschool program that you would recommend for first time off public school Homestead moms . I have one going into 6th grade and one going into 8th grade and it's a little confusing any information would be great.
What I have used the longest and continue to go back to is a site called Easy Peasy All In One Homeschooling system... I've used it almost every year for the past 9 years even if I don't use all of it. I also love Saxon Math (use it every year) and Apologia for Science (Christian perspective). Those are my tried things I use over and over but I've tried lots of other things. Each kid is also different so what works for one might not work for the next so I try to be flexible with each kid.
I love your videos! I got the idea from u on how to save and store seeds. I followed your tip on soaking seeds in warm water for three days, stirring in between, then drying/storing them. So far all is well😄 God bless u and your family. Love your garden and your resilience. At almost 60 years old.., You help me stay motivated 💖

Gardening is heavy labor! Take your time, it will happen. Your health is important
Thanks! It is 😆
The garage looks nice. Hopefully I’m motivated enough to clean out my garage
Definitely just start somewhere ☺️
You may want to grow those grapes on the top wooden rail. Good strong vines will tear that fence down.
Thank you ☺️
Dom, your husband did a great job supporting the shelf for bins. Looks great
Thank you 💗 I agree, I'm so glad it worked out

Happy belated birthday. My birthday was August 1st. Hubby was putting up a fence around my garden so the people would stop walking through it.
That's a great gift!! ❤️

You need a garden shed for a workbench, tools, place to store garden soil,, etc.. maybe a sink to clean things before going in the house
Definitely planning on one to be built for fall/winter
