I am on the other side of the world enjoying my morning coffee and can't think of anything that I would rather do than watch your clip, I noticed a ton of blossom in your pasture, have you ever thought of adding a hive or two to the mix?
my partner won't live this kinda homestead life with me and my kids. so I am very glad about every video you post. it is therapeutic and lets me grieve, hope and be happy for you at the same time 💚 thank you so much! 🙏
Wow that butter cup flower is still lovely 🐝 might enjoy it My Garden has exploded with everything growing well Golden rod you can make golden rod tea ☕️ And mustard is good for soil below ground
Thanks for the tour, you all have really done quite a bit with the place since I saw you had 1st found it. Many blessings always to you all and your homestead. Be careful of the nettle, it does sting. If you get stung use a baking soda and water to make a paste and it should help diminish the sting and help the stinger(s) fall out. I found this out just the other day pulling what I thought was a common weed out of one of the containers I am growing spinach in. I've been stung by wasps and bees before but this little plant stung me and it felt like when a bee or wasp stings, but at least a bee or wasp sting subsides after a little while, this sting didn't until I put that paste I made on it LOL
There’s a cute little thing you do with your young daughter with buttercups that I used to do when I was young. You hold the buttercup flower under your chin and if (and when) it reflects the yellow onto your skin that means you like butter. Don’t know if you’ve heard of that? 😊
I watched @Just A Few Acres Farm the other day and he was talking about improving pasture, He said it was important to cut the grass you don't want before it goes to seed to cut the cycle.
Your goats would eat the bramble as they like to browse not graze. They go for the middle and upper layer such as leaves, etc.. Probably would eat your butter cup, weeds including poison ivy. Bri could give you good advice on goats.
Looked up the buttercup problem, and found this confirmation of what you said about lime - this may be a different kind of buttercup, though? "Prevention and cultural control In lawns and pastures, promote healthy grass by overseeding, fertilizing as needed, and not over-grazing. Adding lime can improve grass health and keep buttercup from re-establishing. However, lime won’t control buttercup that is already well-established. It also helps to improve soil drainage. Reduce compaction by aerating and avoid trampling when soils are wet. Clean mowers and other equipment to avoid spreading buttercup seeds to un-infested areas. Manual Dig out with a sharp trowel or fork-type tool, removing all of the runners, roots and growing points. Digging is most effective from fall to spring while the soil is moist and roots won’t break off as much. Cultivating or incomplete digging may increase the buttercup population because it can sprout from nodes along stem and root fragments. Disturbance of the soil can increase seed germination. Seeds stay viable for 20 years or more and the number of seeds in infested soils can be immense compared to the number of plants present, especially in long-term pastures and woodland ecosystems."
@@GrowingUpHolt You're welcome! I hope it helps! (And I LOVE your property! It's so perfect! A lot of work, but so much potential. Can't wait to see your future homesite as a home someday!
Hello Ben and Brianne. I live in Italy, and I guess because I'm a grandmother, haha, I am wondering about your ages. I have an adult son who is 39 but other than him, I'm bad at guessing the ages of young, industrious, beautiful people. Many thanks for satisying my curiosity. Love your family. God bless.
@@GrowingUpHolt I’ve always replied to any through my life, Italy for a place I want to visit. I think it’s beautiful too. I want to say, your property is so beautiful. Post more often if you can as I always enjoy your content. I pray, God provides you 10,000 subs very soon. You’re a wonderful family. I’m in Colorado.
