SUGGESTION; Since your farm is expanding to an awesome level, it might be good to get a large marker board for organization (keep in central place of home as there are so many activities to do. Have a 10-15 min family meeting 1st thing in the morning before the chore day starts perhaps after breakfast. Go thru list who doing what today. Create a daily/weekly board of activities that need to be done and who will be doing it. Assignments. In this way, everyone will know what they need to do every day. And an area of check off that the activity is done. At the end of the week, maybe everyone has some kind of award/activity/something nice for everyone or individually, so they don’t dread working on the farm weekly. You could maybe ask everyone to make a wishlist of things they would like/or to do/or to go, etc. Just a thought. Glad Rebekah is feeling better-glad she had some rest days! Love your channel. Love the family. So Awesome!!
Leave the pierced or cut potatoes out and store in kitchen to eat on now. Put the rest in dry, cool area to store. Good call boys, they are already dry. Put a fan on the onions and garlic. They are stacked too high and they will rot.
I love seeing the 7 family members personalities. All different individuals with the same goal. As a viewer, Josiah is my guy. Quiet, does his job without complaining, while big bro drives off into town without him. Lily is the true warrior. Always in the kitchen to feed everyone. Can’t wait for her cookbook!
Jonah and Josiah are extremely close in age. That means they will not always see eye to eye, and time apart is better than fighting, which Justin has said does happen, off-camera.
@@cassandrathatsme4382 RU-vid doesn’t need your input. I have an older brother and was just commenting. Big fan of the Rhodes not @cassandrathatsme4382
@sgerway7236 You mean YOU don't need the input.... Einstein, if you post a comment, it becomes available for others to comment on. It's how social media works Sweetie. If you cannot handle it, don't post. My response was hardly anything, but you can always count on a Butthurt snowflake to turn it into something big. Mommy too busy to give you attention? Try Daddy. Not me!
@@cassandrathatsme4382 Wow. I recommend you find someone to re-read your last comment out loud to. You should reply again if that person doesn’t think you’re a crazy person!
Justin, you can also blanch in the pillow case. My father in law uses a turkey cooker. He’s does purple hull peas and okra. He puts the contents in the pillow case to blanch and when he pulls it out, the water is clean for the next blanch. He just dumps the contents in the sink to rinse. Then packages and puts in the freezer. This year they are drying the contents and adding them to a dry pillow case to keep in the freezer to easily get the foods like you are. I just wanted to share the quick/bulk blanching idea.
Would have been better if he planned ahead and had the please organized, in the new freezer clean and cold, BEFORE they got back with the newly butchered meat. (Who am I kidding? This is the Rhodes's. If they planned, they wouldn't have enough content. Content is more valuable it seems than a freezer full of beef.)
Tip for wounds to prevent infection in the future. Grow calendula (super easy to grow and pretty), harvest the blossoms (keep near the house and just grab them regularly), put that in vodka and wait a few weeks. Strain that to create an amazing tincture for wounds! You can dilute it 4:1 but keep it stored full strength. It is one of the simplest things to take care of wounds I've found. Helps prevent infection and promotes healing. An infected wound becomes a massive problem very quickly. And working on a homestead means many opportunities for wounds. With a few plants on pots in my front yard I saved enough to last all year for my family and even gave some away.
Beck-take it slow but try to get up and move around..activity helps..laying around so much does make you feel woozy when you first get up and get moving..hope you feel better!..RANDOLPH…so happy to see you getting around again! Blessings Rhodes family❤
Don’t leave the potatoes out .. I listened to that advice last week. I put them in the shade, they are still green now after one week . Just have to throw them away😰😰😰
Oh how I can relate to too much beef and not enough freezer space! Had two whole steer customers back out once. We happen to have 3 -21cu foot freezer, but had to get another one shipped over to take the last of the harvest. Ended up with one freezer completely full of just ground meat and had to can about 20# of product that had just started to thaw by the time freezer #4 was delivered. Crazy times and still selling that beef a few pounds at a time, lol.
Maybe that’s why you all keep getting sick, really bad hygiene. Do better to teach all the kids. And why is Henry always screaming?! I don’t remember any of the other kids being like that.
Another time you get a cut dirty, irrigate it with a child's dosing syringe. You can get right in there without touching anything, it doesn't hurt as much as a cotton bud or nailbrush, and it's a whole lot cleaner. Use saline, clean boiled water or diluted iodine if you can bear it.
You could also use ground pork and beef trimmings in venison ring sausage. Go with your 2 oldest and attend hunters safety that will also train them in airsoft safety. You can have the boys be drop off and pickup guides for deer and animal share lease holders. Process and fill coolers inbetween am and pm hunts. Your pasture management has also doubled the wildlife population. Its surprising that the gardens arent being attacked without high fences. Its the same as harvesting beef, just not a stationary target. Would be a great abundance plus utuber hunting camp experience and channel collaborations. The guides get paid for farm work by the farm.
@@WilliamWBG honey isn’t sugar - it’s a very complex substance that is widely known to be antibacterial and antifungal. I recently put it on a small dirty wound that wouldn’t get clean after washing and scrubbing. After a few hours I removed the bandaid and all the dirt lifted off and left a perfectly clean area.
if you get a plant that gets pulled up, remove the larger sunleaves so the recovering plant does not have to refill them with moisture and can use it in the main plant. Also it's best to pull the fruit and let it ripen on the window sill.
People have done that forever. You don't leave them long, just enough to air dry the outside. Depending on where you live, like the mountains of NC, mold and rot from moisture is a bigger problem.
Justin put an epsomsalts poltus on yout arm over night in the morning it eill be very clean, no infection left. 1Tb. Spoonfuls, dampening bandage put directly on your arm overnight.
My grandparents always stored greenbeans in white cotton pillow cases in the deep freezer so we I grew up I was used to that. But he grew 10 acres of potatoes every year. It's supposed to be easy. But I never get more then a handful, and there always small. It's so disappointing
You are a hard working man Justin and still say “Happy Day”. I wished I could help you and your family! I am older and always love working with others! God bless you dear and your family!🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻❤️
Hi WOW that is a lot of meat. Justin what Kind of Discipline are you going to give to the boys for doing that to the Gran again? They really need to stop doing that. & start listening to you each & every time you tell them not to do something like that. Even your older boys just go & do things after you tell them to wait. That is disrespecting you. Time for a meager talk to them all. don't you think?
@@user-yb1de1xp2lsometimes people are so used to the way things are done that they don’t realize it may need addressed. I don’t think the comment was rude and it seems like they are coming from a place of good intentions.
I would say 90% of your home grown food! Is meat that is not a good diet for the family you may choose that for you but you need more vegetables to get all your vitamins instead of taking all those vitamins and minerals
Autoimmune conditions usually respond very well to nutrition. Dietary changes take discipline and commitment. I found the motivation to address my way of eating through wanting to be present and functional for my family. As this is youtube - I suspect the frequency of “sick” here is a little dramatic content, to draw viewer engagement 🤷🏻♀️
Hydrogen peroxide solution is ideal for cleaning wounds, the bubbles lift out dirt, etc. It needs to be a part of The Beautiful One's Doctor Bag. Super glue can be used in place of stitches to help hold your cut together. They also make liquid bandages now. I've not tried them, but they look like a useful idea in your situation.
