Amazing! I retired from the Army in 2009, after 20 years and multiple combat deployments. I was 38 and purchased 65 Acres; my kids were growing and now raising my grandkids, on our little slice of heaven. Most of our vegetables and Protein come from, our land. We still go help out the locals at the farmer's market, we buy, sell, and swap. This is living!
Wow , lumber prices are getting higher! Your Lincoln log idea for the raised beds looks great and would love you guys to do a video of how you did it! We will be putting raised beds in soon but this way looks like we can save some money! Let us all know soon :-) Have a great harvest
Hi guys! After a long winter it’s great to see all of you. Holy cow has your one son sprouted over the winter. Is he out growing pants shirts and shoes every 3 months? He must be eating you out of house and home too. My mother’s common complaint about me at that age. You know you already have pleanty of nitrogen on hand in chicken manure. It might be wise to compost t last some of it separately from the cow manure. Use it sparingly though as a little goes a long way.
Thank you! Yes most of our chicken manure at this point goes straight on the ground due to the design of our coop. It’s nice fertilizer for the grass, haha! Someday I’d love to design a mobile chicken run where it fits on top of one of my garden beds so they can fertilize and weed all in one. I love how useful chickens are in the garden... well as long as they don’t eat the plants🙂
I would also like to see a video on how your compost bin was made! I need to build a compost bin my self and this seems so simple. A video on how it was done would be great for visual learners.
I remember watching when you guys first got started when you purchase that property your house getting built living in your barn all that rain flood you guys out working your land as your house getting built or heavenly father was looking over you and your family came a long ways
Question, how do you cook the broccoli raab that you grow? I have grown it but find it too bitter to eat. Any ideas would be fantastic. It seemed to grow awesome for me but I couldn’t figure out how to swallow it Lol. Thanks for sharing. You seem to be as determined as I get to get my garden planted each year. Come rain or darkness I’m out there too!
We originally used a BCS Tractor and strung a plumb line down the row. After we plowed I raked everything into place using the line as a guide. Now that the beds are all made, I don't plow because we are doing a no-till garden. I have a 30 inch rake I got from Johnnys selected seeds that I use to rake off mulch and prep the beds. It is the exact width of my garden rows and I use that to make sure it's all the same width.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead we are also doing no till, but have a bunch of new beds that we do the first ground breaking with a plow and disc. The rake sounds handy, I'll check it out!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead It looks like you are using your rake to mark for square foot planting. What are the longer extensions on your rake? Thanks, and great job.

I’m late watching this video but I just want to say you have the sweetest family! Thank you for sharing them with us. 💜
Thank you so much!!
Looks so wholesome! The family, working together, not a mass production. Thanks for sharing!
Those chickens are sneaky little buggers 🤣 what an awesome garden!
Thanks!
I’m totally loving your channel, thank you for sharing. New subscriber from Australia 😊
We leave wild onions in our pasture and use them all the time like chives.
I’ve missed your videos! Idk why but they haven’t been showing up in my feed. Just turned on notifications so I don’t mis them anymore
Very well-done video, love the music especially! Thank you for sharing with us :)
Thank you for watching! :)
You are doing a fantastic job ❤️
I would like to see a video on your compost bin and how it was made! God Bless, stay safe.
You are so lucky! Wild onions are a delicacy! Jealous!!
Belo exemplo vc...siga em frente...sucesso sempre...agradecemos seu conhecimento...

Thank you for sharing. Those wild onions look like green onions.

Agree! I kept wondering what tools were used. You said all we did was make notches to put the boards in, but make notches how? With what tool and how.
Wow, can we seed your seedling set up? You must have a ton for the length of your rows
lots of hard work! I'm hoping to put new grass seeds in but I'm a newbie so wish me luck hehe
Good luck! :)

Can you please make a "what my family eats in a day/week" video?

Looking good! Where did you get the wire hoops to hold the netting?
😊😊
Your rows are so perfect! What tools do you use to make it look like that?

I love your boots in this video. What are they called? Thanks
Bogs boots. We all have them, and they work great for farm/garden chores! Highly recommend!
eat the wild onions
Careful there is a wild onion that is poisonous that looks very similar.
