Wow, that’s a big bag of carrots! Lots of slicing to be done. I’m glad Azure was cooperative about the peaches. Give your son a 👍 from all of us. We saw him. Any bites or nibbles on the house yet? If you care to share that is.
😂 he loves to make faces when I’m talking! And yes it’s SO many carrots, a lot more than I realized. Unfortunately nothing on the house yet. It’s definitely a slow time of year for selling.
How awesome; can't wait to watch y'all making something. I may get for my grandkids and be for next summer if fun! That is for sharing! Good luck homeschooling!
We just found our 1st place. We also hunt, so we know the dilemma of finding land. He's talking with me about moving again! I said if we find the perfect place, I'll move! I'm excited for you both! I don't know if I would have ripped out the garden, could have been a selling point! Please keep us posted
I only ripped it out because even our realtor said gardens are selling points but not that big of one 😂 I’m really hopeful we find something soon!! It’s definitely hard to find the perfect property.
It must have been hard for you to dig your garden up. I feel sorry for your husband’s efforts with all that firewood. Is that going to be a bonus for the buyer? Good luck to you. Hope you can sell it quickly.
I remember hearing your husband’s chainsaw going on a previous video. That’s a lot of wood. I hope he has a hydrologic splitter! Do you have a whole house wood furnace or just a wood stove? I’m sure your fall garden will be successful.
Yup he was blocking for next year! We do have a splitter thankfully. We just have a wood stove with a blower which is sufficient to heat our home. It’s super cozy. Thank you, I’m very excited for a fall garden this year.
Green beans and yellow beans are 2 different varieties but grow similarly. I have all my beans planted very close together and yes you can absolutely eat beans raw.
Haifa’s finest zucchini, I get the seeds from fruition seeds it is a zucchini just a different variety. I’m not sure which one you didn’t get the name of? Kajari melons?
@@poplarcreekfarm19 01:39 - I just picked Kamyl (?) a couple of days ago, holy Kamyl (?) Also, do the Haifa's finest Zucchini actually come from Haifa?
@y.shaked5152 ah chamomile! It’s an flower used in teas and tinctures. Haifa’s finest zucchini was brought to the states with the help of a couple from the Middle East. The wife was named Haifa and that’s where it got its name.
Chocolate is in a world wide shortage because of weather issues right now. The Azure price has held until they need to get more of certain ones and yes the one you got has more than doubled in the last couple of months. I know you are doing a pantry challenge but if you guys like dark chocolate so far it’s held.. right now 5 lbs of dark chips is about $30 but no telling what will happen next. Just an FYI to look at the prices of other options from Azure. I’m a chocolate fan.😁
Any time you are doing better than you ever have, you are successful. Its always the goal, just be better than you were before. I'm jealous though that your amaranth (pigweed) isnt spiny. (Dont bring in cow manure from some other place is the lesson there) My wife and I have battled the heck out of weeds and still do. The biggest thing is that it can rob the plants of what they need. But if you just plant more, that is 90% of it.. but then you have more weeds as you have to have more space. Gardening is tough, but you deserve to be proud of what you've done and it will get better.
Thank you! Believe me I learned my lesson with manure, we brought in horse manure and that’s when the weeds went WILD! It’s been a constant battle since then. Never again!
Wdym? Yeah, maybe your garden doesn't look like some picturesque garden found in some magazine that was planted by professions in a staged setting. But when you take into account life, the success and setbacks of nature, along with the fact that you're growing food for your family that will be better for you guys. I see your garden and hope you feel as proud as I would having that in my yard. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the tour! 👏👏👏
@@poplarcreekfarm19 2 things we learned that MAY or MAY NOT benefit you. The weed fabric does attract certain rodents, but some could be beneficial. In our raised bed, oddly we have voles (they ate every strawberry plant) but in our field we just have shrews and moles under the weed fabric. Those will eat the Japanese beetle larvae, AND they sort of "till" the soil for you. So pros and cons.. but if they are eating your plants, for sure its a vole and not good :)
@HomesteadDNA yea that ate like 60 tomato plants and probably 25-30 pepper plants 😭 it was awful. Definitely doesn’t feel worth it. It was nice for the weeds but I can fight those
@@poplarcreekfarm19 Spinosad is organic, and if you get the larvae it will end them pretty quick. BT might work too, as they still eat the leaves, but i know Spinosad does.
@HomesteadDNA does it possibly affect bees though? That’s always my concern. My bees are just outside my garden. It’s a pain to squish them but I can manage that if needsd
Wow, that’s a huge garden. I’m surprised it looks as good as it does. A lot of your stuff I’ve never even heard of. What would a lunch box pepper be? Something mild like a banana pepper? Keep up the good work.
I grew the lunchbox peppers last year. Very mild. I won’t grow them again however not because there was anything wrong with them but because I am not done exploring.
They are those small sweet colorful peppers often sold in bags as snack peppers in the grocery store. My kids love them that’s why I’m growing them. Thank you!
Our breeders and feeders gets a 18% protein feed, 20% is more ideal but this is what I have access to, and the most they get is 4lbs of feed per day. We occasionally do nexgen2090 minerals but honestly I don’t do it year round. Some people deal with more significant rooting without minerals but we haven’t had that issue fortunately. Minerals are mixed in with daily feed rations at the rate on the bag.
I’ve heard of Azure but wasn’t really familiar with their products. I’m more of an ALDI’s guy. I hope you can make it last for a month! Nice to see two well-behaved young people.
I bet you senses of taste and smell will improve dramatically! I hate the garbage that we eat. Although I did have a Wendy’s double cheeseburger for lunch……
We took our "kunekunes" to the butcher this week. Our biggest pig "Buster" we think was an IPP as his hanging weight was 209. We're thinking of "upgrading" to IPP soon as waiting 18 months for Kune Kune's to mature is no fun! I'm curious what your processing cost was per lb.?
I definitely think IPPs are the way to go for a smaller meat breed because you get the best of both worlds! They don’t get huge like many breeds but still grow out at a decent rate. I believe our total cost per lb was around $4.50 and that is with non gmo feed.
Do the best you can and learn from it. I am not one to give advice but possibly you are tackling too big of an area considering your circumstances. I have had a similar issue . Good luck!
