First of all, I’m so sorry about Bear 😢
I would be so happy to do more podcast with y’all. I had the best fun and I’m so incredibly honored to be your first guest.
I can talk gardening for days!
Brooke you are AMAZING!
I know 0 about equipment or welding or anything like that and I think it is so awesome that you are so gifted in those areas and I love that you embrace who you are and what you are passionate about and not try to be something you are not!
It makes me happy to be able to help y’all with designing The Cog40. Your farm is going to be beyond magnificent and I’m so excited to be able to help.
I could go on and on for days!
Y’all are just the best!
It was pure joy to listen to you, I went over and subscribed.
I also subscribed to your channel
I can not wait for your next visit with Cog Hill 40
Happy Birthday Jason. Here's an idea, when you are out brainstorming if Mary Carl is the least bit interested get her to participate by sketching out your ideas. That way she can participate and have a wonderful sketch book to remember the growth of the Cog Hill 40.
GREAT IDEA!!!!!!
happy birthday Jason God bless you always you and the family happy birthday sorry this is late
Happy Birthday 🎂 Jason RTR 🏈
This is brilliant!
You not only have the tractor I’ve seen you come up with some great ideas when Jason was stumped you two work better together don’t put yourself down Brooke you are a wonderful person
Well said.
You are also a wonderful shopper and planner!! You have found some amazing finds for the two farms/goats etc. I have been amazed at your finds.
@@donnalovintexas8760 She's the best I've seen at that. Heavy Equipment and getting everything in the shopping dept and thinking ahead, the womans a wiz. Add doing some construction, cooking, and now thinking of welding...what CAN'T she do...?
We actually have a program up here where you can learn all different homeowners trades for free. Classes are taught by retired professionals who are passing on their trades and skills...you can take individual classes or go the whole course, plumbing, roofing, building, etc. When you get your "Certificate" if you want, you can also go on to help others learn these trades or work with the "teachers" at going out in the community and making repairs on peoples homes that cant afford higher prices from companies, at a lower or no cost fix.
It's one way to learn and pay it foreward and also give those that have retired a sense of still being useful in the communities.
Am hoping other states and communities adopt programs like this, they're badly needed, and improves the community life.
I hope you will have a lot of help to harvest those beautiful flowers!
So sorry to hear about Bear. He had a long, wonderful life with you folks. It’s always so hard to lose a beloved pet - they really become a member of the family.
The look on Jason's face was priceless: "Gas and fire...they mix pretty well" 😂 You guys are the best!!
Laurie from Winterhaven CA is in the house!
Love y'all ❣️... now to the podcast
Edit: I have an idea for Brooke's channel..."Weld-done with Brooke" 😀
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Love this name for Brooke
Hey Brooke - I was a Union Journeyman Ironworker and Certified Welder - the first woman to do this in greater NY. I am retired now, and am available to you if you want to talk about being a woman welder. All the best -
I am so very sorry for your loss. What a lovely part of your family. Bear was just the best! I pray you are able to welcome another to your family when the time is right . 💔❤🙏
So very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Bear.😭
Pp
Can I suggest the name "The Welding Wife" as Brook's YT channel,,, I think that is a fabulous idea, and I would also like to learn to weld,, no classes near me, but I would love watching your journey!
That is a great name. It would draw me in for sure. I love to see a woman doing something out of the ordinary.
So sorry to hear of Bears passing. I have lost many pets over the years. part of our family. Great to hear of all the progress on your houses and gardens. Lovely podcast. 💖
Oh NO!! Not, Bear ! I am so sorry 😞 It is so devastating to loose a valued animal especially since he is a part of the running of the farm. 💔🌈🌈🌈
P.S where's my boy Arlo ?
Bear will be missed. You have my deepest condolences. Best wishes 🌸
Oh did I miss something on Bear????
Oh goodness I missed that Bear passed away..
I am sorry that your sweet Bear had to leave for the bridge, you will see Bear on the other side again…
❣️🙏🏻🐶🐾🐾🌈🙏🏻❣️
RIP Bear 😞 Going to miss you pup 🐶 Sorry to hear of his loss Jason, Brooke and MC.
Happy birthday Jason. I only found out because I heard Lester singing you a happy birthday song. I love when the Farms interact
General Brooke- Contracting director, Home school professor, Right Hand wife &Life partner,
Tractor aficionado, and pro welder.... That is a heck of a title... I love it!!! 🥰
Brooke - You can do a podcast with Jason bringing in what he has grown and you showing the ways you use it raw or cooked.
I thoroughly love to listen to you two! I'm a southern gal living in Wisconsin and listening to you two is like going home and being around family. Bless you both!!
Love your first name from from Oshawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Just watched Good Simple Living's channel, Melissa was wearing the CogHill " Lettuce Turnip the Beet" shirt...lol
I saw that too, LOL
Yes Jason wears that too, but it's not in Coghill lineup for their merch. Don't know exactly where it came from. But their shirt says "Lettuce romaine calm and carrot on"! The other is "Cornbread and Collards"
That's the only shirts with writing in their merch. Maybe the other was an old one??
I saw that too...lol
@@lindamaskus5142 I think in an older vid Brooke is wearing the "Lettuce Turnip the Beet." I'll see if I can find the vid!!🤓
Love to hear you all talking about the flower farm , I love to do my yard in spring with lots of flowers 🌸
Brooke, I'm proud of you yet again! I took an adult education woodshed class for several years! It was so fun!
Yes Brooke go for the wielding.. It is a GREAT skill to have, I made sure when I was a younger girl, that i could work on my own car change oil, tires ect: made sure I could do basic carpentry, electric, dry wall, plumbing ALL that because I never wanted some guy feeding me lies about cost and labor cost and all. SO I made myself a self sufficient woman. So even though I am older now and may need to hire these jobs out. I know when and if somebody is feeding me bull! It would be super great for you all on the farm and a great example to your daughter.. Always learn and grow!! Two years down the road I can only hope I am still around to see how your farm turns out!
When I was 7or 8 we vacationed at Indian Lake. A friend I made there and I went hiking in the woods. We found a huge clearing full of Canadian Geese, nesting. We decided we each wanted an egg. We ran, clapping and yelling, into the clearing. Hundreds of Geese jumped up and attacked us! Pinching and biting at us! We ran screaming through thorny brambles and thick woods for what seemed like forever! They finally quit chasing us! We were freaked out and scratched up! I learned that day to respect Geese!!! Lol!
😂😅🤣Too Funny!! Nature will teach Ya some Life's Lessons!!!🤓
I love the idea of boulders being placed around in different areas! I really hope Tracy suggested a water feature in the protégé garden and a bench along with a nice soothing windchime for just relaxation time in the garden. I recommend the same among the flower garden area. I think you'll end up appreciating a few extra touches along the way!
So happy to hear how well everything is progressing with the house! And I love that your videos are current!
Brooke you're going to be great in welding class!
Be safe with the storms rolling through! 🙏 ❤
Brooke I was the General Contractor for our house build. You have done a wonderful job and the money your saving is tremendous.
My son at 43 went to welding school also. Your so passionate about want to welding. You will be awesome at it.
You 2 are so much fun to listen to.
So sorry to hear about Bear. 🤗
So sorry to hear about Bear. I understand how you may be feeling, because I have shared my life with 19 dogs and it never is easy when they die. I lost my special boy, Sparky, January first and think of him every day. But Joey, # 19th, seems to be really enjoying being the only dog here now, as he gets all of my attention! I enjoy your videos so much! Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures! You are all very kind and caring to both people and your animals, and for me that’s what makes life special.
I wish my Dad was still alive to teach you how to weld. He was a welder 70 years. He was a fabricator in the Air Force for 30 years then On the local economy for the rest. He helped make stainless steel for Potato trucks. the part where harvesters dumped the potatoes into. He made his own tractor and implements he needed and them go carts for the kids. All kinds of things. You would have learned alot!
Brooke, I would call you a scheduler. You get it found and get it done. Super woman!
Happy Birthday Jason🤗🥳🎂. Sorry to hear about Bear. He was like a family member to me. Hugs to your family. Thanks for sharing everything you do. Love you all❤️
Brooke, you and Tracey can talk cooking and recipes with all of the food y'all are growing???
Yay, I can only watch you guys on TH-cam not Facebook..lol
Sad to hear about Bear's passing; but he sure did enjoy his last days sunning himself on the hill while watching Mr Greg and Mr Frank all the crew work away. Glad he passed peaceful without a lot of suffering.
At 47:44 when Jason said “knock on wood” …it was just the way he said it that struck my funny bone 😆🦴. Bout fell out of the recliner 😃👍. It was almost like he was in church and shouting out Amen !!! I do hope things keep going well during this build. I just know the Lord is gonna keep on blessing y’all !! As always… enjoyed the podcast 👍.
Keep your energy levels up during heavy physical exertion while gardening by maintaining hydration level is very important. Pay attention to your electrolyte level throughout the day.
Good Evening my FAVORITE farm family & friends!
Hello Cog Hill & Squad!
I was watching the pos cast with Tracy, I live in Queensland, Australia and I enjoyed listening to Tracy, as she is full of information, and speaks to you as if she was face to face, which is so respectful of her, I have gone over to Just dig it, and subscribed as I enjoy just listening to her and her knowledge,
Thank you for introducing her to us all through your Pod Cast.
So excited about Brooke doing welding. You can do it! This will be great for the farm. This is so exciting. Love to you all.🤗
Your shirt should say, " their all right down the road". And list their businesses on the back like a rock concert t-shirt. Sorry about the loss your fur baby.
Happy Birthday, Jason!
Brook, you could call your welding company The Flying Cog Welding Company.
Yall should put a Buddleia (aka butterfly) bush on each side of the outside fence area. They come in many shades of pinks, purples and blues.....They are pretty hardy, and an awesome food source for bees and especially butterflies.
*Also. BROOKE!, The squatting and standing does make you super sore. Gardening is alot on your legs, esp the thighs and knees. You need one of those foam kneeling pads, or gardening little seats. They work great! 💪 💚🦵
You guys are going to possibly be hit with some pretty heavy winds, etc. around Thursday! Make sure you keep up with whatever weather venue you use. (I like Ryan Hall here on TH-cam....he said he will probably go live tomorrow to update the forecast. )
I saw that, too! Yes, RYAN HALL Y’ALL is the best weather channel I’ve found!
I sent them the same message...I too watch Ryan Hall, so do my friends.
Same here. He explains everything thoroughly, and has been spot on as far as being accurate about the weather conditions, and he's right there online, during these outbreaks, to advise when to take shelter.
I'm a watcher of him too,!
Yes, we are expecting heavy winds and severe thunderstorms with possible hail and tornadoes coming through tonight as they head up to you. Prayers for all of us please. That NewOrleans tornado went right over my house last week.
Your plans sound wonderful. I'm sorry about Bear. He had a great life, and lived a long time for his breed. He sure was beautiful. God bless your family and all the animals.
Sounds like Tracy’s plan for in front of the gate/fence is gonna be beautiful!!! Hope mowing will be easy for you after it’s done. Man, your place is really taking shape. Gotta hurry each day you post to see what changes have since the last time I watched!
How wonderful to have good businesses “right down the road”.
Melissa on the YT channel "Good Simple Living" was wearing your LETTUCE TURNIP THE BEET shirt, it was so funny seeing your shirt on her
One thing about putting big boulders in front of the fence will be great to deter any drive coming off the road into your fence. Good protection. Best to all, it's coming together so nice.
Great podcast and I love the boulder idea with flower planted around them what a beautiful statement they would make !! And if Brooke takes the welding course she could make some beautiful arbors and sculptures out of iron/ steel , free form sculptures are so unique and beautiful and Jason could grow some climbing roses on some of Brookes designs!! My gramma had a huge beautiful climbing rose the was so beautiful And my momma took a cutting from it and rooted it snd put it on our fence in our front yard ! It was an heirloom climbing rose called “7 Sister Rose “ it was pink and was a continuous bloomer from spring until frost and each branch had 7 blooms on it , the blooms aren’t real large about the size of a 50 cent piece / half dollar size but 7 blooms on each branch ! Beautiful heirloom rose and very hardy ! ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻
'Seven sister' rose sounds delightful!
@@lorainewhite727 thank you the really are beautiful heirloom roses ! Thsnk you gif your comment !! 🙏🙋🏻
Y'all stay safe through the storm. Everything seems to be coming together. God Bless
You are absolutely correct! For some reason a pecan tree knows. Once they put on buds you can plant because the freezes are done. True story I worked on a rice farm and we didn't plant until pecan trees had buds and the farmer found a 4 leaf clover. He was superstitious and sometimes it took days but not a seed went into the fields until those 2 things happened.
I'm sorry for your loss. I thought he didn't look good. It hurts us too. Hugs and prayers for you all.
Today (3-29) we are having hard winds steadily here in north Oklahoma. Things rolling everywhere in our yard. Love your podcasts and videos.
I really like the lg rock idea. I see that theme being used around the house, various spots around the farm, a few around the pond. Maybe the goats and as many as Mary Carl needs. Love you guys West Virginia
I love you all! My condolences for the loss of Bear. Always hard to loose a furkid. They are family. Hugs and prayers for all of you.
Do you have big boulders on your land that you could use? That would be awesome to use what’s there. I love the idea of the boulders.
Happy Birthday Jason
Awesome podcast Brooke and Jason, I thoroughly enjoyed it. So glad that everything is coming together on the 40.
Rip Bear🐾🙏
Prayers over you guys, your property and your critters with this new weather system building.🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️ Jason is right about those boulders. You could totally mess up your front end bucket moving those. You might really want to reconsider this. Living Traditions uses the weed barrier in their big garden spaces they might could give you an idea how long the weed barrier material lasts and how they turn under their soil before planting season starts every year. They been at this for several years so they might could help you guys on any questions or shortcuts you might need to know to help you.
Ya'll are going to have to make some T-shirts saying, "Right down the road!" with a picture under it of a winding road with a Sunset over it! You might start a trend! LOL
At least 2 pond boulders. One on each side of the gate. Left one says This Property Patrolled by the Right one says Peaches the Boss and Nugget the Sheriff.
Hey Brooke. I love your shirt. Love seeing you back. I’ve been watching Tracy’s channel too.
Yeah when it's cooler I can do more but in the heat, man it wipes me out. I do have heart disease tho. I used to work all day with no problem but since this I can't do much. :(
I can't wait to see it all, it sure sounds like it's going to be soooo pretty!!!
I have a story for ya. We have a woman in Jackson,Ms. that does rehab on turtles. Someone ran over a turtle in Gulfport and by the time someone else got it to the rehab lady it was long gone. So she knew it was a female and she opened her up and got the 3 eggs she had inside. They ALL hatched out and we ,u daughter and I raised them. We put them back in their location last year in Gulfport since they have to go back where they belong. One of them wasn't large enough when we took the other two so we kept her and man has she grown this winter. She will be able to go with her brothers now. We'll be taking her shortly to Gulfport.
@SouthernLadywithManyHiddenTalents...Bless you & yours for saving those 🐢 🥚👍🙏
The big boulders by the entry gate will look great 👍! So sorry about Bear; it's hard to loose a fur baby. Living till 11 just shows how well you took care and loved him. My yorkie is 15 and every morning I wonder if she is going to to wake up healthy. All we can do is take each day as it comes.
Hi Jason, Brooke and MaryCarl, I’m so very sorry about Bear, he was my favorite, loved watching him sleeping, Happy Belated Birthday Jason, see you in the next video.
What Brooke likes best about gardening is moving the dirt with her Big O.
You all be careful tomorrow, you have heavy serious tornadoes coming your way. Severe storms and winds. In Michigan, we have a winter weather advisory Wednesday from noon to midnight, snow and ice storm. Stay safe everyone.
Loved Tracy but we missed your great sense of humour Brooke. Sorry to hear about Bear but he had a wonderful life on your farm.
Brooke, how exciting to learn welding. You will be making your own bottle trees or arch ways for the potage garden. Besides being able to fix and repair things around the farm.
If you both going to be learning to weld "Cog Welding and More"
Shirt Idea - Cog Hill's Friends - Right Down the Road - each part on a line.
We had geese and had to beat the tar out of them to feed them. I wasn't scared, but they were mean. The egg never hatched and they raised our mallard ducks.
It’s always hard to experience the death of one of our beloved pets😢. Thank goodness ya’ll were there to take care of Bear throughout his life. And what a good life it was.
Happy Birthday, Jason!
I keep hearing that we’re going to have another frost here in Coastal Georgia Zone 8B.
The weather has been fluctuating so much, I’m just trusting that my beautiful plants in the two backyard greenhouses remain safe w continue growing.
Wishing you all the absolute best for your plants as well.
Donna
Happy birthday Jason! Your yard and garden areas should be awesome with Julie's ideas.
Julie?
I subscribed to her channel!
GOOD EVENING FARM FAM! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Love your shirt Brooke!
Go for it Brook, about the welding. My ex-husband & I owned a steel fabrication shop. SO I used most of the equipment including welding. I enjoyed it.
Great podcast. I learned to weld in FFA shop class. I would like to learn to weld with the Mig welder. My son has one I'm going to have to get him to let me try it. I learned to weld with a Lincoln stick welder. That was one of the best welders at that time. It's still a good welder just not what the new kind are. Go for it you will do good.
Love you'll stay safe and God bless. Dan
I'm so very sorry for the loss of Bear. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family. Happy Belated Birthday Jason ❤❤❤❤
I'm here CHFam...Loving the progress and excited for the podcast...
As usual, I loved your podcast! You are both such good people.
Check with your local Zoo for compost. Great stuff
My Dad owned a machine shop. He had 3 girls and I was the baby girl. When I went to College ASU, I took sculpture classes and decided I would learn to do welded sculptures. This fascinated my Professor. I did all kinds of metal sculptures out of the scrap pile out of his shop.
Can’t wait till I hear Peaches wouldn’t let Nugget into the new home.
Take MaryCarl and let her learn welding too! Woman-Power Welding
I’m sorry to hear about Bear, but he had a good life with y’all!! Best dog life ever❣️
Hey y'all was thinking about your breezeway! have you thought about a mud room to take off shoes and coats and a place to put brooms and cleaning supplies? maybe before you box it in maybe make it a little bigger! just for a convenient place for STUFF!!!
So sorry for your loss. RIP Bear 🌈🌈🐾🐾. They are such a part of the family. So glad the progress on house is coming along so well.
Enjoyed the podcast thoroughly! Sorry to hear about Bear. We can only give them their best life & hope to have them their entire life. We love them so that it is hard losing them. However, they leave us with long, wonderful memories with a love for them that goes on & on.
So sorry for the loss of Bear. Hugs . I love how y’all’s house is coming along.
I am soo thankful to Greg who has been a blessing to you all. Including all the builders who are helping you with the building of your home and moms home.
Befriend a local horse or, cattle farmer and, get some natural fertilizer. Happy birthday Jason. I can’t wait to see the breezeway attached to join the houses.
Especially one that's "right down the road!"😂 👏🏼
They have all kinds of manure producers already!
❤️
When I was a kid our road was being paved / curves changed and the county needed sand / gravel for the road. My dad allowed them to take out one of our hills in exchange for them leveling it out so we had an easy place to park our cars. We had a boulder(3.5 - 4 feet tall) in the hill and the guy leveling the hill thought he could pick it up with his wide scoop on the front of his bobcat (?). He ended up bending it and it rolled downhill and stopped about 15 feet from the road and it was left there for at least 15 years until someone was crazy enough to roll it across the road into my grandfather’s field. I miss that rock, it made it easy to tell people where we lived.
I am so sorry about Bear. I wondered, as I saw him a lot of times and he looked slower. Praise God that he went quick.
I am so sorry to hear of Bear's passing. It's always difficult to lose a beloved animal. I am excited to see the progress of all the building & the flowers being planted. That is a lot of flowers to plant!
Brooke love the new shirt. license Plate. 😎 your Missing MaryCarl’s pigeon and Jason’s flowers on there. Ha Ha Ha
I made the shirts 👕 couldn’t make everything fit. There was other things and ideas but ran out of time to get them made. Thanks 😊
I look forward to your podcast and videos. I love listening to you both. You make me laugh 😆
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good evening Cog Hill Family! I'm sadden that Bear has crossed to Rainboe Bridge. I know my golden Ms Blondie will welcome Bear!
I really enjoyed Tracy on your podcast and it would be awesome if you will have her again. Tracy is so knowledgeable! SE Louisiana has the high winds and rain advisory starting at 8am Wed. Sorry, it is coming your way, Praying for just a little wind and rain. You two gets some rest so you dont hurt youtself. Stay well, stay safe Have a great week! God Bless❤🙏❤
I'm sorry to hear about sweet Bear. I've recently been watching earlier videos and was surprised to see the difference in him. It's hard to realize how they're slowing down on a daily basis. He had the best life a Livestock Guardian Dog could have on Cog Hill Farm. Rest in peace, Bear. God bless, Cog Hill Farm and family.
Enjoyed Tracy, but I love Brooke's beautiful smile. You can see the love between the two of you. God bless you both.
I got my greenstalks this week. Can't wait to plant. I would like to have Tracy plan a garden for me. How can I contact her?
Go to Tracy's channel (Just Dig It Farms) here on TH-cam, click on 'About', and then scroll down to 'Details', 'For Business Inquiries'. Click on the captcha, complete them, and then you'll see her email address to contact her. I'd post here, but I'm going to be courteous to both Jason and Brooke, as well as Tracy's privacy and not hijack their video.
Thank you for sharing with us.... Have safety during the coming storm.
[RIP BEAR]
So very sorry for your loss of Bear such a beautiful dog he was and your old friend . RIP BEAR 🙏🐩
Is there a horticulture school nearby where you could get some students to help plant?
Holly that is a brilliant idea!
