Hello Newby's... so much progress, I love how you incorporate souvenirs from your travels. My mother used to sew her squash seeds to dry them out. She would put the needle and thread through the pointy part of the seed, and separate them so they don't touch. The seeds that aren't moldy can still be used.

@TheNewbys 3 месяца назад

Hello Cathy, so much progress and we are so excited about it. Ah that is such a clever drying technique 🌾🪵🔨❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹

@TuckMeIn67 3 месяца назад

That’s a very interesting way of drying seeds. I have several round tin trays that I use with a cut paper bag lining it. I just spread the seeds out and stick the tray on top of the fridge or a shelf and leave it alone for a day or two and then mix it up with my fingers to feel how it’s drying and I continue that process until it’s dry to the touch. Then I leave it there for a couple more weeks just to be safe. And it doesn’t hurt to mix them every once in awhile.

Hello Tara, First for storing Tomatoes and cucumbers which have a wet seeds that need to be fermented to eliminate the gel residue. Allow your tomatoes and cucumbers to “ripen fully which is important for reproduction”and then scoop out the seeds with the gel. Add the seeds with the gel to a glass jar filled with water and place it in a warm room. Stir the mixture twice daily; after 5 days, the seeds should sink to the bottom. Drain the water through a strainer the seeds, rinse them properly, and spread them out on paper towels or a plastic tray to dry. To dry, place your seeds in a “ cool, dry location away from direct sunlight”. Not in the greenhouse. if using glass jars ascondensation can cause mold. Also, exposure to temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit will harm the seeds. Just be sure they are dried thoroughly out before storing. I use a old screen door hanging horizontally in shed with good ventilation. Then they dry from the bottom as well as the top, so you can spread them out and they get air without having to turn them like you would on a cookie sheet. Seeds can be stored in containers and plastic bags , paper envelopes. I store mine in envelopes or brown paper sandwich bags and have good luck as they are able to breathe. Good luck.

Hello, you can actually propagate a chinese quince using a cutting. In case you're worried about moving plants or want to get more of them around the farm for free, make sure you look up the possibility of propogating from cuttings! It's really handy.

By the time my son was 6 months old, he was waking 10 times per night and I was exhausted. I took him to visit my family for a couple weeks and he was disrupting the whole household….one sibling and my father working full time jobs, two siblings attending school and my mother with a big house and yard to keep up. My folks had a big cedar walk-in closet so we pushed my son’s crib in there one night and closed the door. He was well fed and warm, clean and double diapered. Because none of us could hear him crying, by the end of two weeks he was sleeping soundly all through the night. The fact that I got up every time he fussed the first six months of his life really trained him in bad habits: my fault, not his. When we returned home my husband was shocked that the baby now slept through the night! He is 54 yrs. old now and the most wonderful son I could have ever had. I love him to bits!

I love the way you both let your kiddos do risky things carefully and let them learn to use tools. It’s the one thing that really brings about brain development in children ( child development specialist here). Doing chores around the home and the farm from an early age is also really beneficial for children.. it’s the single most important factor in raising successful adults. So don’t listen to anyone who says differently.. it’s scientifically proven by long term research.

Tara, l was taught gardening by neighbours who were passionate about plants. They said we dont move anything while its in flower. Best to move while the plant is dormant. but . If the soil goes with the roots maybe the plant wont even notice. It’s all go at your place and it’s such a delight to watch it change and develop. Love to you and your three precious boys / man.

Echinacia seeds take much longer to germinate than other flowers in my experience, so don't be discouraged. Or possibly start them earlier than what you plan to plant nearby

Every child is so different aren’t they? I think Sawyer will be likely to sleep better once he transitions to his own bed. One of my own woke up five times a night until he was two. It was so hard to get anything done. I’m glad you can be real about the frustrating aspects of parenting. You certainly have two very happy children so you are doing it right. Sending much love to you tired mama. This too shall pass !!!

To determine if seeds are viable, put them in a clear plastic food storage bag inside a damp paper towel and check it everyday for signs of sprouting. They should germinate in 7-10 days for patty pan squash at 85 F or 29 C.

Those tiles are such a lovely sprinkle of joy around your home place. For the uprights of the front door portico on the stone house, it may be a good idea to install metal cleats/spacers under the posts. They'll keep the wood off of the stone and help slow any waterlogging or rot.

@51marshmellow 3 месяца назад

Everything is looking marvelous on the farm. Wonderful to have a partner who is as enthusiastic, capable and visionary as John and Tara and knowledgeable gifted neighbors who become framily. Finding someone to hire who has an artistic eye as you both have in spades is difficult when I have the vision and they seem to 'know better'., often discounting a women's point of view and knowledge🤨😂🤷‍♀ I hope the quince loves it's new home. The tiles are lovely and thank you for always inspiring me. And Crusoe and Sawyer will have so many skills as second nature. Bravo to their parents👏👏👏👏💖

@thomasleerecruitment 3 месяца назад

Remember on our podcast you met Jack, he is our second child as well - and he isn't a good sleeper - he is 2 months older than Crusoe, and we are now 3 years on and the little monkey still wont sleep - so i feel the exhaustion you are going through!! Our first one, Thomas is 11 now, and he literally slept since 3 month old 12 hours a night.. Honestly - the contrast is madness!! Been thinking about your kitchen/pizza oven area. Which might help you with your motivation - build it first of all out of concrete blocks - then clad it with the stones afterwards. You could then form a concrete top to it, and then build your pizza oven above it. Could even plumb a sink into it too. It will go up quicker and you'll see progress for your motivation quicker too.

@anthonystevens749 3 месяца назад

Great projects advancing on all fronts! Tara, keep faith in your ability to build useful and attractive stonework - it gets easier the more you practice. A practical tip you may want to investigate: think mainly in terms of building a regular 'face' to the wall (the rest is just filling!) To help with this check out use of a stringline. John, slightly surprised seeing you butt the roof tiles to the wall without flashing to master the junction - would be dodgy to rely on a cement fillet over the top... 🙈😁

Tara all projects tend to look different than what we plan and you have just started, it will look great and it will have been made by you that makes it special. Sawyer waking up every hour reminded me of when we moved to our house when he was 7 months and he went from being in a great routine and sleeping through the night to waking up every hour - it is exhausting so I really feel for you x

With the quince you can prune it way back so it becomes lower to ground and more bushy looking! It will be beautiful then!

It is best to let seeds dry out first and then store them in paper envelopes not jars which will keep any moisture in. If the seed is moldy it probably won't germinate.

@rosehalpin8108 3 месяца назад

Tara, maybe put more rocks into the cracks to soften the edges. You're doing an awesome.

@patriciatanner2963 3 месяца назад

Tara: To test your squash seeds, select 10, place them between two damp paper towels or cloth, place them in a warm, dark place, and keep the cloth damp for a few days. Within five or six days you should see viable seeds begin to sprout. You can calculate your percentage of germination from the number of sprouting seeds. This saves space and time. You can plant the sprouted seeds, and then decide how many of the moldy seeds you should plant to get the number of squash plants you want for the season. I love watching your videos, and just realized I had, not yet, subscribed. Fixed that today.

The patty pans seeds should be washed when you get them and then dried on paper towel for a month. They should be very dry, just like pumpkin seeds and melon seeds. Otherwise they grow moldy and are ruined. I store mine in envelopes and put them in the freezer.

@carolynpredmore5153 3 месяца назад

@sue7190 3 месяца назад

When you move any plant with bare roots sprinkle microryzal fungus on the roots. It helps promote root growth and will help the plant quickly establish. I also fill the planting hole with water before planting not only does it get water deep below the plant it helps you understand how well drained the area is. I would peg down some stems in the new soil to encourage them to root then cut them off after the roots have developed, pot on and replant once a decent size.❤ loving the new flower bed it really enhances the stone house. It will be beautiful with the climbers either side of the porch.

Hi. Just love how the chickens follow you around 😂. The porch is looking great John (love the tiles)and it is so lovely how you let Crusoe help and so patiently explain things to him. Tara, you are turning into a gardening guru, will be exciting seeing everything grow and thrive. Don’t worry about the Pizza oven, I am sure it will look fine once you have finished. You both have the talent to jazz it up to a point of where you are happy with its look ( maybe tiles ). Keep positive Tara. Joao is such a big part of your family and is so lovely with the boys, you can see a bond growing there with Crusoe. Once the boys are in their own room Sawyer may settle a bit better at night. Look forward to the next one ❤xx
