Becky, your daughter was so cute doing cartwheels down the row after you cut the grass there! Your videos are so informative and I like your transparency, when share things that haven't worked for you! And how you are always striving to do better and not give up! Your family is so awesome how they work together! God bless you and your husband for teaching them great skills and instilling in them an excellent work ethic! I love it and look forward to all your videos!

Thank you for showing videos like this! It can be discouraging sometimes to see all these beautiful homesteads and plentiful gardens online, but in reality, or at least what I frequently experience, is it doesn’t always go to plan and there are so many days of frustration and extra work. It’s encouraging to see real situations displayed online because sometimes it feels like no one experiences what I experience. So thank you!

Best of luck with your blackberries, we planted some with out doing research. Planted them right next to our raspberries. Then a two years later found out you can't plant them together. We ripped them out because the raspberries were older and doing well. Sad day but we learned a lot since then. Enjoy your fresh, homegrown blackberries.

What an incredible willing helper your daughter is…much reminds me of myself as a child in my grandmothers garden in Bavaria…a widowed mother at 38 with six children to feed…an amazing example of a true pioneer woman never letting anything stop her…I’ve learned amazing lessons as a child and my love for the outdoors was created then…keep teaching keep learning…never think we know it all…every day is a new opportunity for lessons…stay blessed

Things I learned in this video and your canning one 1)you are extremely stout for your small size! 2) I’m watching this at 2am and all of your work makes me exhausted. 3) idk if I’m cut out for gardening 4) I’m new to all of this and I’ve never seen the soil cup maker thing you used, super handy! 5) I’ve been gardening all wrong, I just need more kids! 😉 Thanks so much for the video! I loved it!

You can always do what I did to get over that getting over excited winter thing, I built a small hydroponics building, so I can grow during the winter, it also doubles as my seed starting building, and I can grow micro greens, I also use it to do all my cloning in, by just simply removing the grow tubes. I designed it so you can easily do so.

From Australia, Ive just caught up with your videos after falling over your channel recently. How refreshing it is to see your family enjoying life on the land. I love seeing your children participating and learning how to handle tools, grow plants , cook and manage animals. No time for TV I'm sure ! Your kids are going to grow up so much richer for it. I feel like we are friends and you are sharing your day to day experiences with me. I am so much richer for that.! I will enjoy keeping up with your endeavours going forward. My best wishes to you all!

Hey, I just recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love what you’re doing. You guys are literally living my dream, what you’re doing has always been on my mind since i’m a little kid. Currently I’m still living in Berlin but I’m working hard every day to one day be able to do what you guys do. Thank you for sharing all this with us, it's a huge motivation! I’d be very interested in a whole farm tour including a tour of your newly built house (which I'm btw absolutely amazed of). What do you think? Would that be a bad idea? ;) Until then, keep going 💪

@liriomulder 2 года назад

Becky, thank you for taking the time to show us your successes and the what not to do. I’ve been learning so much. One of the things I’ve gathered is that you invest in tools that help you produce the best for your family. Would it be possible to do segment on those tools. I am starting our own homestead and what to be self sustainable? Thank you to your and your family.

Boysenberries are so good. They grow wild here in South Central Kansas near Wichita. The only downside is their small and numerous seeds, but they make great pies and jams. I really enjoy watching your videos. Good luck this growing season.

I have a question. On average, about how many hours does working in your gardens take out of a day?

@TheSeasonalHomestead 2 года назад

Depends on the season. In winter, on average it's an hour or less a day in the garden. Spring, it goes up to a 2 hours a day is my best guess. It's hard to pinpoint the real average because some days we are spending lots of hours but others we do very little because of other obligations. Summer is the same amount around a few hours but it feels like more because I'm also preserving.

How come you don’t fence in the berry section of the garden like you do the vegetables? Just curious.

@victoriajohnson3034 2 года назад

Don't know if this will help anyone. Blackberries love highly acidic soil. To amend compost, add tons of evergreen tree needles(fir or pine).

@Rattlerjake1 2 года назад

Didn't see a fence around your blackberries, better fence it or the deer will devour the plants. Also, instead of buying so many plants, just buy half or a third of them, plant farther apart and when you get some long canes this summer, in them to the ground between plants and they will root. I started with 5 plants and had 50 by the end of that summer.

@mariaquant535 2 года назад
