    Me and my husband are really enjoying your channel. We just discovered it, and the reason we like it is because it’s not a fake channel like so many Alaskan living channels are. Thank you for keeping your channel real. Looking forward to watching all your videos.

    Hi from Dave in North Pole, AK. I want to congratulate your whole family as you all work together toward building your homestead. Lily, if I ever have a grand daughter, I hope she is just like you! Stay safe and may God bless you all. Dave

      Thanks for your support Dave! Yes Lily is a hard worker for 12 yrs old... I am just thankful she enjoys learning with me.
      She has no phone and doesn't game.
      I think that helps her engage in learning new things..." real" things! Lol.

    I thought about my grandma when you hung the shirts. She had a very strict way of hanging laundry to ensure it dried with the lease ironing needed. ❤🎉

      Oh...how awesome....
      Those wooden clothes pins were hard to find! We got the last box at Walmart!
      They work so well for many things

    Your greenhouse is looking good. Those tomato hornworm are creepy & will destroy a plant in no time! I clip them in half & feed them to the lizards 🦎 🤣 Lily is gonna be a master gardener before to long! We had a dog like your when I was growing up, he was our duck hunting dog. See ya next time 😊

      Lily has been a huge help gardening this year, so nice.
      I am hoping for a red tomatoe soon!!

    If you remove those oldest leaf on the cabbage it will help you develop bigger heads. You can also eat the big leaf. Cook them

    Another good video! Looks like your well has good pressure. After you have the ag land cleared is there a stipulation on it's usage?

    • @Alaskan6pack
      @Alaskan6pack  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! So the crazy thing on the agriculture " patent" that we have to meet is...once the state signs off , you can then purchase the land if you choose and they really don't check up on you again. I found that interesting.
      We will probably apply for the hoop house program through FSA and if that goes through they DO check in for up to 5 yrs or so...to make sure you are doing as promised...
      Either way we are very committed to growing our food so we know it's
      " actually " food! ....lol

    Just a suggestion when hanging up the shirt on the clothesline. Take the shirt, hang from the bottom and clothespin at the side seams. Less wrinkles too
