Danny I just love all your thoughts, ideas, and subjects. Farming and or homesteading isn't just one topic. Farming is a jack of all trades lifestyle and you do a wonderful job of showing that to people looking to start this way of living and even though I have lived in the country all of my live, there is ALWAYS MORE TO LEARN, different ways of doing things. Thank you and God bless. I treasure your channel
I really like how you are focusing on Solutions this year. Nice to put a positive spin on all we'll be going through this year. Thanks for making me feel enabled rather than abused by the system and circumstances.
Good morning everybody from Farmville Virginia. I'm hauling dump truck loads of 10 year old composted cow manure today. It's just as valuable as Fort Knox Gold.
I been wondering why not do that with cabbage. Now I know it works fine.😀👍 Never ate a rutebega.( Cant even spell it). I hope to get chickens this year. I heard a great tip a while back: put a board out in the yard and in the morning you will have slugs/ worms for the chickens. Move the board so grass does not die. Thank you Danny.
My great grandparents had a peach orchard that they planted from seed too;) my grandma made the best peach pie and I can remember going down in their basement as a young child and seeing all their canning jars of peaches. That was my first experience with food preserving and canning jars. I was hooked even as a young child! As their health started to decline as I got older and before my great grandparents had to move in with their son (my grandpa) those jars they were able to live on for 2 years 😊
I did the cabbage slaw first time last year when i FINALLY had a great cabbage harvest! I had 8+ pound cabbage heads for the first time ever in 50 years of gardening. I followed Rachel's recipe from 1870's Homestead. I did buy a small head of red cabbage to mix in with my green cabbages. It looks pretty in the jar. I did add carrots to mine. I also added course ground black pepper. It was AMAZINGG!!!! I was shocked as you were how crisp it was canned. I canned mine in July and it's still crispy! Thanks for sharing. Love you and Danny's videos!
Just to let ya know. No Shadow Ban here, all your stuff shows up in a timely manner, don't think anything is missed. We're waiting for a little warmer weather to propagate some pear, mulberry, and blueberries 👍🏼
Same issue in my high tunnel...milky skies this winter in TN really slowing progress. Not growing well at all. First time having this problem growing inside. Tic tac toe in the skies
I've always liked a pickled type slaw over the mayo type slaw, just never knew how to make it! Thanks to Ms Lippy! Tomatoes in FEBRUARY! How wonderful!
That red flower is a gerbera daisy. Mine are 5 years old, but we pretty much get no frosts or freezing, so my gerberas live for many years. At the hardware store they are $5--6 dollars a piece.
Mr. Danny & Ms. Wanda, Steven & I enjoy everything y’all do. Y’all give such great information to help us all. I wanted to thank you again for the eggs. We really enjoyed spending time with y’all Sunday afternoon. Thanks and God Bless!
Good morning Danny and Miss Wanda!🌄 I pickled Cole Slaw this year past for the first time. I got the recipe from a seller at Farmer's Market. It has carrots, onions, green peppers, celery seed in it with cabbage. I really liked it too! Mine also was surprisingly crunchy. God bless y'all!
Hey everybody. Good morning from SE Massachusetts. Made it thru the article blast Friday and Saturday. Bee hives active with bees flying yesterday. Amazing !!!
Good morning friends of like minded. Your videos is a blessing to my day. Encouraging us to keep in keeping on. We only do a little work and our God gives us the increase. Thanks for sharing. Texas ❤
I have been making this for years & I add red pepper (capsicum/ onions / carrot) to mine & have some from last years harvest- I love it. I am so glad I found you guys again as I thought I had lost your channel. Cheers Denise- Australia
I purchased some grow bags . I'll just keep purchasing more a little bit at a time till spring comes so I'll have many of containers. I still have my in ground and raised garden bed I try to share your videos but it seems like no one wants to watch I'm sorry 😐. But I brag about you to anyone who wants to listen. May God bless you 🙏 ❤️ ✨️.
I love watching your animals and growing progress in your high tunnels. I'm gonna grow veggies in some containers and some in the ground this year to compare. Miss Lippy's pickled coleslaw sounds good! Gotta give this a green light as well. Y'all are inspiring 🙂
I found some plant grow bags on Amazon. The ones I chose are tan, I picked black and then there was an option to switch colors. I will be making grow tables like Hollis made, and I can utilize the great flat sunny area where my septic field is. Up on tables with no ground contact should be a way to use the area without issue related to drain fields.
It can't be that much different from sauerkraut, just not fermented. Regarding feed costs, I only have chickens. When I started my flock last year the goal was to eventually have on property closed loop egg and meat production. I'm ketovore so gardening is easy for me, it's just cover crops. I have 2 10x30 foot beds with a standard cover mix; vetch, clover, daikon radish, collards, peas, and a few grasses. I add cow peas, which the birds absolutely love. The birds supplement with bugs, weeds, anything they get out of deconstructing compost piles. And of course, food scraps, which is any fat and meat I don't finish. So far I've cut feed by a little more than half. By end of 23 I'm hoping it's zero. No grains, no seeds - which are not supposed to be a birds main diet anyway. You've never seen a yoke as orange as one from a chicken eating cow pea greens.
Love ALL of your videos.... these ''what's going on'' videos are lovely....for the longest time, l have been prompted to study and utilize the Whole Armor of God ...Ephesians 6 10-18...verse 12 is right out of the headlines today. GB all believers....Trust and Obey...
Luv your set up for your rabbits we used to raise them growing up at one time we had hundred babies some sold for Easter rabbits some fed us others we processed for others for the elderly folks
All of the plants and trees look so great. A long time until we get to plant. Supposed to snow Saturday. Still got my fig tree covered up. I made Ms Wanda's fig newtons and they was good but hard work. I made fig jam taste like honey I am eating on butter biscuits I tried bacon covered figs no good. Jam is just great but I did take some seeds out
@Deep South Homestead Hi Danny&Wanda. Vines need pruning of young branches to increase growth and flowering and consequently increase the amount of fruit. Leave 3 eyes close to the central branch.
Oh my gosh..your carrots are so thick. They look amazing. I love all of the food you grow and how much variety you have. My cabbages always end up getting bugs and holes eaten in them. I want to learn how to fix that this year. Thanks for sharing you walk about. Have a blessed week.
I’m reading comments as I watch so not sure if they talk about a solution yet. But what I have found works best for me is just using tulle, like wedding tulle. It’s cheap and you can cover the whole row or just cover each plant, works like a charm ! I haven’t tried his yet but have read that if you cut out white butterflies from that foam craft paper, attach them on a clothes pin and clip in or around your brassicas the white flies won’t come and lay eggs. I guess they are territorial and think the area is already claimed. Best of luck !
I had to go to Lippy's channel to see how it's made. Glad you liked it!! I love everything cabbage. Mom and grandma always made slaw with vinegar, salt and pepper, so I know I will love the pickled coleslaw. Yum!!
I love all your videos especially enjoy looking at the homestead all the animals how you feed them and take care of them and love them. You are an amazing Gardner I just have a huge backyard that I Garden in I wish I was younger and had 10 acres I used to have to raise some animals. In the day and age we live in to grow your own food is of the upmost important for your health. God bless you both abundantly. Much love and respect.
I pour the juice off and add mayo and it's delicious. I do add celery seeds to it when I mix in little dab of homemade mayo. I canned 20 pints this summer and we already finished them all. We like to add it on top of pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwich.
Every morning my MIL took 2-3 handfulls of weeds from her flower beds to give to her meat rabbits. That was enough to make her flower beds look wonderful and almost weed-free, and the rabbits enjoyed them as well
On that pepper plant, I had a Trinidad Maruga Scorpion that was 7 years old. It only died when we moved to the Gulf Coast and I failed to water it. :( I would bring it in before any danger of frost, just watering lightly while inside. It only got reflective light, no full sunlight. I was just trying to keep it alive til Spring. I do have another one that is 2 years old now. I have it in my laundry room. As soon as it warms up, I will put it outside and give it plenty of water and it'll be producing in no time. I also rooted about 6 or 7 cuttings from the Mother plant that are doing great. If you need any, just let me know. They are very hot!! About 2 million Scoville heat units, just under the Carolina Reaper. Before the Carolina Reaper, it was rated as the hottest pepper on earth.
Morning! Loved seeing the animals! So funny watching them just do there thing and seeing the different personalities they each have. The bunnies are cute. My dad used to have rabbits & they were used to eat and for the poo in the garden. He would kill & clean them all himself. (They’d tell us we’re eating chicken but didn’t take long for us to notice the difference. )
Thank you both for this video. Just shared. Some of us recently got some rabbits to help fertilize the gardens & we want to grow more for us AND the animals we are adding.
Love seeing the animals and all you advice about their care. Also enjoy your porch time. Wanda and you both are so kind to share your knowledge and have a knack for keeping the video entertaining. God bless you both.
Good Morning Danny and Wanda. I really enjoyed this content. A little bit of everything. Y’all always put a smile on my face. I will definitely be going over to Ms Lippy’s channel to learn how to make the coleslaw. Have a blessed day.
Good morning Ms Wanda and Mr Danny. That Cole slaw looks awesome-Ms Lippy sure has a lot of great recipes! I'm so excited for y'all-that mystery tomato plant is doing great! Have a blessed week.
Thanks for sharing. so encouraging to see this. You all inspiring people like me and others to just keep moving on and staying focus will get our plant going. Thanks Mrs. Wanda you a strong woman and someone to look up to. Great job. and Thanks.
Like them unknown tomatoes alot? The seeds most likely won't come out true but cuttings from the plant will produce the same exact hybrid. Just a thought I wanted to share. Great videos, thanks for sharing your time, knowledge, and wisdom. Another ole timer here retired in the Appalachian mountains.
Good Morning Danny and Wanda! I always Enjoy watching your videos. I am happy to hear that you and other Homesteaders are focusing more on solutions doing these very troublesome times. I also love watching you caring for and feeding your Beautiful Animals! Well Enjoy the rest of your Day and God Bless. 🙏❤🙏
You need lady finger grapes, if you want long grapes. Order them from someone in Lodi, CA and you should get something that'll grow in the South heat, just watch your moisture. Grapes don't need all the soil soaked, just a drip to the root ball. That flower, is a gerber daisy, it's perineal. Should come up every year.
I've been raising rabbits to eat for years and years along with the meat birds, laying chickens, pigs and cows,,,, just farm life ,, love it ,,, will be gardening time here in Alabama when it drys out a bit.. keep on keeping on.
Your"mystery" tomatoes are a blessing from God! They are a" miracle " tomato. The fact you didn't plant them and they survived the odds against them, proves the awesomeness of our Lord to provide one with an abundance !♥️🙏🕯️👍
I am studying tree fodder. I found a variety of willow by the road a couple of weeks ago. I took a dozen, foot long, cuttings from the ends of the branches to see if I could root them I stripped off all of the leaves except for the two at the very tip of the cuttings I fed the trimmings to the rabbit and she ate every last bit of it. I put the cuttings in a jar of water asnd I changed the water every few days. After a week I started seeing tiny roots. I put the rooted cuttings in potting soil and I hope to have willow trees for animal food in a year or so. I have mullberry and elderberry trees already. I hope to try rooting more of those soon. Thanks for all you do. John Davis Jax Fl
An update on rooting willow trees for animal feed. I put the cuttings in quart yogurt cups and they are doing well as long as I keep them wet. I am about to up pot them into 5 gallon buckets. I have a ditch bank along the back of my property where willows should do well.
I should have taken larger cuttings. Pencil thick would have been better Instead of taking the tips of branches like I did. They are growing but it's taking a little longer.
Hi Danny and Wanda, love the video, would love to see more videos like that. I am planning on getting a couple calves, this spring, and possibly rabbits as well!
Good morning Danny and Wanda . . Yeah evidently Ms Lippy's coleslaw recipe is good... How you can tell it's good .!!! Ms. Wonda won't stop eating it..😄 going through the High tunnels everything flourishing.. Boy howdy And my favorite part the rabbits and the cows.. mr. Buddy feeling his oats..😂😂 Thank y'all 🙏❤🕊🏋🏼💞👨👩👧👧👨👩👧👦💕😄🌿🌻🙏🤗
Just found your channel. I’m new to RU-vid - livin under a rock I guess you could say. I sure enjoy watching and listening to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your homestead with us. 🤎🐮
I cooked with the pickled juice like when I stir fried or put in the beef broth when I make noodle soup or any soup, so I don't waste anything. Looks great and yummy. Thank you.
Now youre talking my language! Hey yall have you ever grown mangel beets for livestock feed? Ive looked on your channel havent seen anything about them, Id live to see yall grow some! Much love from Texas
Last yr, we had trouble with all of our mators. Idk if was stuff being dropped from chemtrails or weather or both, but we had different types of mators, planted at different times, some in pots with strictly topsoil, some in garden with everything else we planted, and all of them did the same thing eventually. They started dying at bottom & it moved up. The closest pics I found were blight, but the causes didn't match up since we're in different dirt, areas, sources, & not close to each other. Our peas & beans did great, cause we were picking them from July to early Oct when everyone else's had fizzled out months before. Just had issues with mators which makes me think chemtrails or weather as we are in central AL & had similar weather to y'all.
Keep these coming please. I always get a tidbit of gardening information from you. I overwatered sweet potatoes while making slips last year but they made some anyway. I have you book and between it & the videos I’ll have slips again this year-planning to start the the end of this month in zone 7.
