Mike, don't beat yourself up, please. We know how hard you & your Family work, how diligent & attentive you are to your homestead. Glad you're working your way back. And its always so, so beautiful to see your kids at work!❤ They're super junior homesteaders! Love you all. God's Blessings & Peace to you.❤❤❤
Mike, sometimes God slows us down. I had three weeks down in July due to having lymes. I was so exhausted that walking down to the garden was tiring. I'm learning to listen to my body and rest as needed. I have since been able to clean up the weedy areas and plant my fall garden 😊 I'm praying you have a successful fall harvest 😊 Feel better, Salah.
Mike, l love your faith & that you walk with Christ. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ❤️
Great job. Kudos to all, I hope Sela is feeling better. One small observation. In my experience when working with thicker material pre-drill your holes then put your screws in. You'll find the job will go faster. Stay safe and I pray that Debbie doesn't do damage to you or your farm. Mike from Maine
I'm wondering instead of plastic sheeting over the door ...instead use plexiglass. That way in the winter you have a bit more strength and protection from the elements. Just a thought!
I feel your pain. We had rain all spring causing so many weeds in my garden. I couldn’t keep up with weeding. I ended up having to mow my garden. In Texas, all the vegetables are now finished. I’m covering mine with black tarps and leaving it until next spring.
The weeds always grow great! My gardens looks like yours!.. I am not stressing about it! I live inside city limits but we can't burn and dont have animals. We have to haul it to landfill they wont even pick up! So this year it will die down with frost and become mulch.. Its been too hot to stay out long. Gbo, NC
Here in upstate SC fall cannot get here soon enough it has been a rough summer of high humidity. I’m in it all the time best clothing for outside work has been swimming trunks. Stay hydrated can’t wait to see what you put in that tunnel this fall.
cleaning up those weeds to help out the tomatoes and feed the critters is a great multi positive thing. when you need a blade on the trimmer not fishing line that is serious eating to be done by you then the animals lol. exceptional effort by Sailor under the circumstances work ethic and commitment outstanding. boys could help further
Ugh, I feel your pain! I had t9 let my high tunnel and I ground beds go this summer since my husband passed away and I’ve been renovating a rent house for extra money since I’m on disability. I was able to get a lot of my raised beds harvested and most put away. It has been a challenge in the garden this year for sure. Hugs and love y’all! From Texas!
Bermudan grass and Johnson grass are invasive here. The only thing surviving in our high tunnel with our 100 degree temps is sweet potatoes. You have wonderful children. Hope you get back to feeling 100% soon.
Y'all look out for Debby in case she blows your way and stay safe. It might be a tropical storm by the time she gets to you. Anyway sending prayers and hugs your way! Take care ❤.
Your children are so helpful and hardworker like mom and dad. My garden looks like a jungle too. It’s been way too hot 🥵 for me. Be careful so you don’t get over heated.
I have been fight Bermuda Grass for 40 years here in Tucson, Arizona ! Back in the 1950’s through the early 1980’s water rates were “reasonable”… and my house had lawns in the front and back… In the 1990’s I started to put in low water use plants. Those Bermuda Grass roots go down about 4 feet!
I had same weeds, embarrassing as i just gave up. I chopped what i could a few times. Spent lots of time and money creating a garden for the takeover. Also flooded a few times too, feel your pain. 😢😢 😢 bristly greenbrier, horseweed, giant ragweed, brown eyed susans to name a few amd some kind of prolific tree i couldnt pull out.
I just got seeds called mache. Corn salad. Greens. Cold hardy to 10*f. That’s what the packet claims! Raw or cooked. No oxalates. Tenderest. Melt in your mouth. Sweet. Imma try ‘em💯 Also fall or spring sowing!!
Mike herein costal Oregon I am dealing with bindweed a form of morning glory as well as wild blackberries and poison oak.these are the most frustrating weed plants that I have to deal with.
Here in Manitoba Canada in June and July we had tons of rain, are potatoes drowned, i got no peas, the only thing seriously thriving is my tomatoes and peppers in the GREENHOUSE we bought this year, thank God. Seriously weird year all over the world!!
I’ve had areas where weeds have won the battle this year. We deal with lots of bindweed and ragweed. I had a severe back injury and lots of pain. I’m not able to run the weed eater and had other physical restrictions that made it impossible for me to stay on top of the weeds. I hope to be able to get to it soon. You are right in saying that there are times when we can’t do it all.
Darn weeds !, at least your goats and cows and chickens can benefit from the excess weeds. Good job making progress so quickly !! Live and learn, year by year, step by step. I know that some homesteaders are making good use of weed fabric which is a time-saver in the long run. Yay for the Fall garden on the horizon. Good job kids helping out your dad !!! We all have wins in the garden and fails mainly because of the harsh weather.Nice positive and uplifting video ...music and all. You are always learning and growing along the way and helping us all out as you tackle garden chores and tasks and projects to make life easier and better . We all get injured from time to time and you persevered through it all. Thank you
Hello, tks for video. Lots of hard work in this heat. Door looks great and so does all the WEEDS being gone. Be safe and stay cool. Much love to all......
Greetings from Wisconsin! Believe it or not we have high humidity here also. The average humidity today was 82%. Last week it was in the 90%. We have a COOL front coming in with humidity being in the upper 70%!! You are a hard worker, Mike. The tunnel will look great when you finish. Great idea to put the goat in there. Thanks for sharing your life on the homestead.
Mike I love watching you and your family. I'm disabled and still want a homestead. What recommendations would you have to share. I'm limited to only short like 15 to 20 min at a time. I have chickens and dogs rn in a major metropolitan area. I want to leave my state because of the taxes.
We so far have had a bad harvest on tomatoes. Folks around here are getting close to five dollars a pound. So we won't be canning tomatoes or corn this year. Corn is 6.50 to 8.00 a dozen. Store price on corn on the Cobb is 2.50 each. Local farmers is even higher on their produce.
We have lambs quarters, wild lettuce, golden rod, dandelion and many other wild herbs that grow here. It’s everywhere! But they are beneficial herb so I let some grow and harvest it. So sorry about the tomatoes 🍅
My headache is water hemlock. Supposedly, the most toxic plant in North America. I have no idea how to get rid of it safely. I can't burn it because even the smoke is toxic. YT videos just say to chop it out, put it in black trash bags, & take it to the landfill. I'm terrified of getting near it!!!
Hope you don’t get hit by Debby to bad. I had surgery 3 weeks ago and can weed, push or pull my gorilla cart or shopping cart, no squatting or lifting anything larger than a gallon of milk. I did weeding in the garden before surgery but in a new area they have come back with a vengeance:( go for my post op next week hopefully I can get back to wok.
With everything going on it’s hard to do it all injury and a baby and a new cow it changes things so do what you can and for those critics they need to go somewhere else
PLEASE take a look at Castor Oil for your arm!! PLEASE take a long look at Barbara O’Neill- a natural/pathologist who is super knowledgeable about natural healing..especially to consider getting away from wheat/dairy/sugar! Your dairy is pure, so it is quality and God given You will also learn about excessive accumulation Estrogen to express obesity-plus many other great information! Love you all-love your work and honesty-which all your children learn from you!!🤗❤️
Selah is such an asset to your homestead. For her to not complain about not feeling well while working in the heat and high humidity is so much more than almost any adult. And as for you, you should back off a bit more and let your body heal.
Oh well its life weeds grow out of control sometimes Mike it's all good we al don't mind ...hey a quick question what's up with ur second yurt ??? So excited to see what use do with it
Mike, don't beat yourself up, please. We know how hard you & your Family work, how diligent & attentive you are to your homestead.
Glad you're working your way back. And its always so, so beautiful to see your kids at work!❤ They're super junior homesteaders! Love you all. God's Blessings & Peace to you.❤❤❤
Micah is always there working just as hard as you are. And I always hear him say yes sir. He's growing up really fast.🤗
He sure is growing up fast.
Those kids are growing like the tunnel weeds themselves 😊
You are not alone with over grown places in your garden. I think the weeds and grass grow faster than the food 😢
Hope you can get it all cleaned up
Having a new baby is enough to throw off your weeding farm maintenance schedule. You're doing more than I did this year and I don't have a baby.
Mike, sometimes God slows us down. I had three weeks down in July due to having lymes. I was so exhausted that walking down to the garden was tiring. I'm learning to listen to my body and rest as needed. I have since been able to clean up the weedy areas and plant my fall garden 😊 I'm praying you have a successful fall harvest 😊
Feel better, Salah.
You give up?! Never!! Great job fam❤
Mike …you’re a great vlogger. Blessings to you and yours .
Mike you are such a hard worker, always have a positive attitude and great Dad!
Mike, l love your faith & that you walk with Christ. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️ Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ❤️

Is it me or does it seem like the weeds have been crazier than usual this year? Don't feel bad, Mike. Having a bum arm is bound to slow you down.
I'm wondering instead of plastic sheeting over the door ...instead use plexiglass. That way in the winter you have a bit more strength and protection from the elements. Just a thought!
The bane of our existence here in Indiana is bindweed. It's the Kudzu of the north.
Northeast Indiana here....and Amen to that (bindweed) as well as thistles.
@@angelenerash5160 we have the giant thistles here, but it is really rough walking through the grass barefoot with all the juniper seedlings
I'm in Central GA and kudzu is the bane of my existence from June - September
Those young gentlemen looked like they did some great work! Congratulations to you all!
Salah is a trooper. Hope she's feeling better.
I go sick in May, so all I have is one tomato and some herbs.
I’ve been referring some homesteaders to you:
Eddy Family Farm, Chestnut Hills Farms, plus.
Because of your gardening & more. ❤🎉
I feel your pain. We had rain all spring causing so many weeds in my garden. I couldn’t keep up with weeding. I ended up having to mow my garden. In Texas, all the vegetables are now finished. I’m covering mine with black tarps and leaving it until next spring.

Its been too hot to stay out long.

Spanish needle, nettle and white head are fierce weeds in my garden
Real life is right! We've all been there!❤

What about putting weed paper or fabric down, maybe that would lessen the seeds a lot. Animals sure help with the leftovers. Nancy from Nebraska
Yellow Dock root is great in a tincture for blood purifying and excellent for the lymphatic system
I love your videos can't wait untill another one comes out.
Ugh, I feel your pain! I had t9 let my high tunnel and I ground beds go this summer since my husband passed away and I’ve been renovating a rent house for extra money since I’m on disability.

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and the homestead
It’s just been that kind of year. Ours looks like that too and it started out great. :( Oh well, things happen. God bless your lovely family.
God bless you for providing good clean and interesting content
Bermudan grass and Johnson grass are invasive here. The only thing surviving in our high tunnel with our 100 degree temps is sweet potatoes. You have wonderful children. Hope you get back to feeling 100% soon.

Totally understand your issue. I'm fighting a continuing battle against bindweeds, honeysuckle, and wild passion fruit vines.
I’ve had areas where weeds have won the battle this year. We deal with lots of bindweed and ragweed.
I had a severe back injury and lots of pain. I’m not able to run the weed eater and had other physical restrictions that made it impossible for me to stay on top of the weeds. I hope to be able to get to it soon.
You are right in saying that there are times when we can’t do it all.
When i go to the garden i tske a pair of scissors. Can cut back alot ic im not up to bending at least it all stays below waist high
I did not know they couldnt eat tomatoes and its toxic to them. Thank you for that info. Wow! You learn something new everyday.😊

Good evening 😊

great job!
Hellofamily glad to be here😊
You did great!
yup those dewalts are priceless, and the batteries all fit so keep the same brand going
Great video, love the step by step and the sweat by sweat😅
Your weed patch resembled my bean patch! I’ve yet to reclaim it. Oh the dock is so hard to get rid of!!!
Awesome job everyone 😊 appreciate y'all sharing
It can get away from us quickly! Here is Massachusetts we deal with it all but we’re having a tough time with swallow~wort
I live near Albany, NY. I am not pleased with my garden this year. I hear that from all areas of the US.
Fried green tomatoes 😊
Ragweed and burdock ....NE Ohio❤
I have horrible problems with Russian knapweed and bindweed (wild morning glory). I'm in the intermountain West.
My headache is water hemlock. Supposedly, the most toxic plant in North America. I have no idea how to get rid of it safely. I can't burn it because even the smoke is toxic. YT videos just say to chop it out, put it in black trash bags, & take it to the landfill. I'm terrified of getting near it!!!
Hello!
burdock and stinging nettles have won this year
❤GREAT JOB ON THE HIGH TUNNEL NICE TO SEE THE GOAT😂😂😂
Mike.. I hope you guys noticed that your calf cant reach the grass bin her rope isnt long enough...😢
Hope you don’t get hit by Debby to bad. I had surgery 3 weeks ago and can weed, push or pull my gorilla cart or shopping cart, no squatting or lifting anything larger than a gallon of milk.

Well Hod sahs he allows the tares to grow with the wheat then seperates them at harvest..
PLEASE take a look at Castor Oil for your arm!!

You will also learn about excessive accumulation

Love you all-love your work and honesty-which all your children learn from you!!🤗❤️
Please reconsider the graphic where we sweat talk. It can cause youth to accept rough language in future relationships. Blessings to your dear family.
BINDWEED and burmuda grass are my main nasty plants, in Kansas
My little garden Didn't do so well this yr ...😊
Selah is such an asset to your homestead. For her to not complain about not feeling well while working in the heat and high humidity is so much more than almost any adult. And as for you, you should back off a bit more and let your body heal.
You need to get a group together and build the other yurt😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh well its life weeds grow out of control sometimes Mike it's all good we al don't mind ...hey a quick question what's up with ur second yurt ??? So excited to see what use do with it
Nooice! 😎 STOC

I put weeds in my compost juice bucket, they are fighters.
teach the kids and give allowance to keep it up...
Kids should help without $$$. It's a family endeavor
Wear a shoulder strap for the weedeater😅Pete cape Town south Africa 🇿🇦
I have siactic nurve damage in my back I can only walk by take a lot Tylenol
I always looked at weeds as God feeding your animals for you. Like manna from heaven. It’s your job to go pick it for everyone.
