I totally forgot to add the footage at the end of the new seed structure! I will get it in shot in the next video!
Make sure to give me feedback in the comments on how you want me to move forward, As I was editing I was thinking this felt more like a podcast than a video, and maybe that's the answer, that I do them over on whatever platform we're looking at as more podcasts than anything!
Enjoy!

Hello you! I've sat here and half grinned through most of this. Not because i find adversity and challenges, struggles and tribulations amusing, but rather your humble honesty in explaining and sharing the hows of why you are where you are, doing what you do. i keep seeing that random tomato seed that pops up in the most random place with no care, no fertiliser, compost or regular watering... thrive. Thrive and outgrow every other intentionally planted one. The feral tomato plant, the volunteer plant. Reminds me so much of your journey. An accidental happenstance. I suspect most of your viewers and regular subscribers are as tired as i am of the polished glossy insta-fluencer in their perfect world growing their perfect leeks all perfectly lined up in their perfect insta-fluencer gardens.... 'scuse me while my eyes roll back in my head 😂 Life, real life, is gritty and messy and a bit hard-scrabbly and untidy, especially when there's not 16 sponsors leaping to finance and 'manage' the influencer-content and the click bait content. Real... raw and real... and the aussie bush is harsh and ever changing, extremes from the getgo that are always changing. I'm grinning here, Nyssa... your most connecting one yet... total engagement. perfectly imperfect 😉

Nyssa, truly enjoyed this video, as always. I am always amazed at how talented you are, words actually fail to describe how wonderful you handle everything you do. You inspire me to work harder here on our tiny farm and get multiple things done with my time, etc. I think if Nyssa can do it with all she has going then maybe I can accomplish more. My husband will soon be 82 and I am 77. Thank the good lord, we are still able to get out and do farm work, care for our animals, house, garden, yard. I sew, do crafts, he likes to do wood crafts and mend anything that needs mended, etc. We go fishing occasionally for the fun of it and extra food. We have between us six kids, multiple grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are self sufficient and visit on big holidays which is wonderful and since they help with bringing food and helping with the work it makes it less stressful. We feel very blessed and have especially taken being self sufficient very seriously in the last few years out of necessity. I mean all our kids feel the same since the world situation is harder. So it is especially nice to meet someone like you and your husband. I appreciate you so much. It is beyond me that anyone could say hurtful things. I think they are jealous. We were raised to be resourceful, help others, etc. Anyway, I will quit chewing your ear for a little while. Until next visit, keep on being your wonderful self. Janice from Arkansas USA

Nyssa, I see your move off grid as a blessing. You and Daryl are strong and have grown enormously, mental toughness comes from adversity and taking a forward step daily. You're both displaying positive traits to your beautiful children. Having them learning at home and working together towards building a sustainable lifestyle is a fantastic education. They're not spoilt, they don't want a lot of rubbish, they play in the dirt and have animals to tend, all beneficial attributes. You provide excellent food, they learn that food takes time and effort, both in preparation and growing. Harvest failures are normal, you've had stocks to hold you over the hopefully worst of the current season. All this is educational and a chance to discuss preparation and what they'd do in the future. I dislike the patreon format, too high a cost, the coffee way is better.

Yes, I was super surprised at the patreon costs considering everyone seems to have one! I understand its only a percentage, so you don't 'pay for it' but still, it seemed awfully high! Thank you Alison, We do try, and be the best role models we can, we have our failings like anyone else, but we try, and at times it feels like the kids don't care or learn, but I know it is a long term thing, and that they are learning to be people too!

A little over a year ago, I deliberately searched for Aussie You-tubers quite intensely for about a week (I have a lot of subscriptions from everywhere else, but mainly from northern America, and I wanted to watch some home grown creativity). Found a few which I still watch! Then a couple of weeks later, RU-vid started recommending them! That's how I came across your channel! I love your talent for cooking and the way you handle using the BBQ as an oven (I'm not an adventurous cook - I've never cooked on a flame, only electric, so I see you as an absolute wizard!!). I love anything practical and creative. My forte was sewing, still is but arthritis in my hands has curbed it a lot and I suppose I'm still grieving for it, so I make up for it by watching others' creativity. I watch one pouring paint, another creates oven baked clay jewelry and trinkets, someone else makes items from resin, there's two who sew, a wood-turner, a couple of gardeners, a makeup artist (came in handy for my youngest girl's deb last year as I don't wear much makeup myself!) - they all create magic! And it's lovely magic... yet there is something missing. You go above and beyond, you're not simply creating something and showing it off, or trying to create content for content's sake; this is the reality TV that I like. We are privileged to see the real person in the real world with some cameos of her family; who is a lovingly patient teacher that explains all the details and the science of her own magic in such a chatty way - the squirrels are just as informative, don't scare them away! Thank you for sharing the human side of your life, I can relate to you on several levels, squirrels included!!

Hi Nyssa! I'm a new subscriber, so I'm catching up with your channel... Hearing your story about how you started off, brought back my own memories from years past... We migrated from Europe with 4 little kids... No jobs, no house, no car, no money, no family here, and having to learn to speak another language.... We didn't know anyone and had a difficult start living in a garage in winter time. We caught every bug around those first few years, because our daily life was so stressful... But knowing what I know now, I'd do it all again! My first veggie gardens were a mixed bag too. It took a few years to understand the area where I'd moved to, and to properly enrich the soil... I'm telling you this, because listening to your story, it struck me how much I admired your guts and determination to do this! And also how I never thought of myself in those terms, and you probably don't either! I applaud you guys for pulling this off! ❤ Maya

My parents lived off grid. My hubby and I are semi off. One thing that mum did was keep a manual diary of pretty much everything . That way they tracked the seasons and what happened. So she noted the weather, rainfall, which vegetables did well that year, how the chickens laid, the calves being born. Etc etc. It all started in earnest when Dad had an accident at work and couldn’t work anymore. My wage as an 18 yo was the only income stream so she had to do ‘something’. I bought a dairy cow for Dad so he had to milk her twice a day. This dragged him out of his depression. I found a copy of The Weekly Farmers Handbook 1956 edition. It had instructions on how to do pretty much everything manually on a farm. Mum learned to churn butter! Dad learned to milk, how to raise piglets, everything! Their farm is long gone, as they are, but my husband and I are trying to keep it up. I have MS and quite restricted with it but I try to do what I can manually. I bought hubby a 1970 edition of The Weekly Times Handbook and he uses it all of the time! I’m certainly not in your league Nyssa but I’m loving your channel. It’s inspiring me to bigger and better things. Btw, I’m having a bumper year with zucchini. Tomatoes? I’ve picked ONE!

I love your candour & the way you are so real about your life challenges, it’s never going to be easy or perfect & that’s ok so long as you’re all happy with your life. Other people will always have their opinions,criticism good & bad but they don’t live in your life so gratitude for the kindness & sympathy for others who feel they have a right to be unkind. Enjoy the time with your children because you can’t have do over in life each day they grow & change & one day you wake up & realise you have 6 adults & it blows your mind 🤯.

Almost five years out here now, and it finally feels like its mostly in the past, we still have our days, but generally speaking, I feel like we're on an even keel, that we're making slow progress, we still have our setbacks, especially with things like the car etc *sigh*, and the lack of garden, but I do feel like mostly, were moving forward now. It will get there! Thank you Cathi!

I love this channel! ❤❤❤ I appreciate your style. It feels like you just popped over for a coffee...tangents and all. It's all good. Sometimes in life when we are planning to jump...we get a little...or in some cases, a big push. I believe we land where we need to be. All of your ups and downs are teaching your children every day and they will remember all of your hard work. These are more valuable lessons than they could ever learn in a classroom. I think "buy me a coffee" sounds like a better option. No need to line other peoples pockets paying high fees.

That is definitely how it feels to me too, talking to the camera, I'm talking to you guys, it was hard at first because I didn't know my 'audience' but now I know that I'll have these conversations post the video! I definitely think that the leap that we had to take was worthwhile, it was hard and we had a lot of repercussions of it all that went on for many years, but I finally feel like where somewhere where we can have our ups and downs and still recover... :D

This was one of the best videos you've ever done. OUTSTANDING!!! Yes, I watched the entire video in one sitting and you kept my interest the entire time. As for those people who focus on weight I think they are just so unhappy themselves. Hell, with what they think. You may not have money but you can see how much you love your family in every video. Daryl is really lucky to have married you and I summize that you feel the same. You have a wonderful life, beautiful children, great attitude, etc. I, for one, am very proud of you and your family. Ramble, ramble, ramble on. Loved it. You amaze me with every video. Hello to your mom cuz we know she's watching....LOL.

Dad was a miner in Blair Atohl Coal Mine and mum was a stay at home mum. One day my parents said we are moving and we did have our ups and downs with setting up the place. Like we had to put in a boar down to have water to moving building together to make a full house. Still to this day my brother and dad are still on the property with my mum watching down from heaven. I'm been in NSW for the last 20 years and I can honestly say I do miss my life in Clermont and having the life we had. I would love some day to go back to that life but for now just watching you gives me hope.

Laughing at the squirrel comments ( rambling ). Really like the channel, came up by chance and will say have watched when I can. Really like the voice over, you really do have a calming voice. Was clearing and sorting yesterday and just let your 4-6 week shop uploads just run on loop ( even though have already watched most ). Was great, stopped to watch the couple I had not seen. I think you and Darryl have achieved so much. When you spoke about mental health and how Darryl coped with the move really sounded as though Darryl had burnout on top of this. Most of us do not realise how much stress we live with in Day to day life and how our bodies cope with it. Until you see someone really struggle do you realise, things you "think" are important become irrelevant. Next time I have the time will watch all the gardening ones and other play lists. Not saying I won't go back over them all as, Daughter is vegetarian and you have some great recipes on the channel.

Thank you Irene! oh, I'm ordering some black beans this week, we want to try and make some burgers with them etc, Apollo isn't overly keen on meat, he's not adverse to it, but would like some veggie options, so we're going to try a few things! :D

I am so glad you moved forward from the fb reaction, people can be so cruel and judgemental. You keep doing what is best for you and your family and all your subs will enjoy what you share. It is a privilege for us to watch your progress and see things through the eyes of your family. Take and keep up the wonderful work. 😊😊

Thank you Kerri, I'm so glad that I found a community that wanted to watch, and that was willing to spend time with me!

I watch the Tribe. Of Many And her name is Sara and Solo is her husband. I have watched her for about two or three years. I want you to know how much I love your channel I'm a large woman who has been bullied for years, and I have been trying to block out the voices because they are miserable and they want to make you feel as if they are.
