Wild Hope Homestead
New Zealand
Приєднався 18 тра 2021
Hey guys, welcome to Wild Hope Homestead. We have a small country homestead in Waikato, New Zealand. I'm Julia or Julz, chief homesteader here, and the family help out too. I've been blogging about homesteading life for years; all about gardening, growing, preserving and making food, raising chickens, DIY projects, crafts and trying to live a more natural life. Most of my content creating is currently here on the UA-cam channel with vlogs about daily life on the homestead. With faith, determination, never-ending ideas and a healthy dose of humour, I keep at this lifestyle I love, with my family in tow, working towards even greater, wilder dreams for the future. Hope grows here.

I Called a Self-Enforced Powercut to do This
First I was trying to update our emergency preparedness and then I created my own powercut. But it's all in the name of getting the waterblasting done while we have copious amounts of rain and tank water.

What Did he Find in a Scrap Pile This Time?
Переглядів 158День тому
Steve brings home a scrap pile find and makes something fun for the kids. I'm attempting to increase our carrot supply by sowing more carrot seeds in both gardens, plus parsnips and more potatoes. And how about that giant spinach beet that needs to come out? Then there's dealing with the feistypants broody hen.

That Escalated Quickly - Playhouse Taking Over my Garden

The seed potatoes I saved from last year REALLY need to get planted. First, there are broccolis, cauliflowers and weeds to oust, then we can tackle the crazy potatoes. But can I get them in before dinner?

While the weather's slightly less wild we're harvesting a big load of kale for us and the chickens. Well, the kids are mostly snacking on broccoli flowers!

Rainbows are fun and so is weeding, when you've got help or a nice-weather day.

There's a chicken queue, more spring fruit tree flowers and good old tangerine picking. I'm pricking out our tomato seedlings and potting them up, which is a good lesson in waiting.

You need one of those battery power stations. That way you could still run the pump and your power washer. I have an old one I used to use when we went camping. It was a lifesaver. Cheers!
Hello friend please supporting me also 🙏❤️
👍👍
Hi Julia. Nice to see your garden beds all ready for summer. What types of tomatoes do you plan to grow this year? I'm in Auckland and everything is in now, as nights have warmes enough. I'm trying 3 kinds of pumkin this year and attemting to tame them by growing them up🤣I look forward to seeing your summer garden. You're really lucky to have a huge growing area. And the kid's playhouse project looks intriguing too! Lovely scrap timber🏡
Hi, thanks for stopping in! 🙂 I talk about what tomatoes I'm growing in this video, Should I Actually Start Seeds? ua-cam.com/video/bzlBAJQJlio/v-deo.html I haven't actually gotten them in yet (which is late!) because I had trouble with them after transplanting into individual pots with the potting mix I used. Good that you've got your garden in, that's always a good feeling.
You just popped up in my suggested list. Suburban gardener from Melbourne Aus here. I usually chop the leaves up with a line trimmer first so they don't mat up so much and break down quicker. I sometimes have a little helper too but she doesn't like to get her hands dirty so it's more answering questions and her telling me I missed something.😁 All good. Cheers!
@@ausfoodgarden Hi Aussie neighbour! Nice to have you here. Thanks for the tip, we hadn't thought of that. 🙂
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.😊
@@myhomeandgardenchanneldwel7777 Thank you! I'm happy to have you here. 😊
Hello from Australia. I just discovered your channel, it's excellent. Thank you for sharing
@@JoannD73 Hello! Thank you, glad to have you here! 😊
OMG Julz! I was waiting for a turnaround of fortune in the story and it took a long time. I'm sorry how the trip started. Glad y'all made it safely though. Hope it doesn't put you off going on future family vacations.
@@evanmatters Yeah, it was rough! But at least it did get better at the end. Maybe one day when Scarlet's older... Thanks for watching. 🙂
👍🔨
I realized that said Autumn 2024... have even entered summer yet? Maybe I'm more tired than I think I am at 1am... it IS May 2024 yes??
Spiders?.........spiders....Hmmm...... I keep finding those monsters out in the yard. I try to put them in the witness relocation program......I walked one over to the neighbor's yard. The other got to live in the trash can until Monday.....when the nice Spider collection truck came by and took him away. tHanks for the video
😂 Thanks.
Hello Good video sister❤

Awww beautiful Julia. LOvely seeing the children so involved. xxx
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Interesting content. I love seeing you harvesting the potatoes. You put a lot of time into planting and caring for them.
Thanks!
Love it! Looks like a real life secret garden. Thanks for sharing! 🌶🫑🥕
Thanks!
You are so knowledgeable about chickens! Don't take it too hard, mistakes happen. And on positive note you will get more food and can start anew later on 💚
Thanks! Yes, it's a good lesson in trying not to do so many things at once.
Have you moved the chicken run? We're they under that fejoa when I was there?
We have two big pens for the main flock, both joining up to the main coop. One stays empty to give it a rest while they're in the other one, then they switch over. They may have been in the Citrus Pen with the big feijoa tree when you were here.
Cute chicks...I've just put 6 Barred rock eggs under one of my bantam crosses who went broody a couple weeks ago...my first time using a broodie do I'm pretty excited for the adventure.
Ooh, that's exciting! It is so fun watching a mumma hen raise chicks. I hope she makes a great mum.
The atmosphere is very beautiful and pleasant, thanks for sharing
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Super cute...let me know if you have extra girls ...I'm sure I can squeeze in 2 more.
Lovely video, thanks. I wish I could have understood what you were saying.
Those are great buckets, good to know!
Yes, they are! I like to share the handy things.
We should all try to help this nice young lady acquire more subscribers!!! She deserves it...this is near...watching the eggs hatch!!!❤🎉😂 Very cute!! Thank you!! God bless you and your family!!
Thank you, sir! That's very kind. I have an older video of chicks hatching too: ua-cam.com/video/rFcisQW97ck/v-deo.html
AWWW look at the little birdies!!!❤😂❤ Happy birthday!!!!
We are so sorry for this huge loss of your fur baby. Praying you will know God's comfort. Sending hugs 🫂🫂 xxx
Thanks. ❤
With her pictures at the end you made me cry,she is so beautiful and she look exactly like my sister cat who is very sick now and she would probably die in the next few months...she is 15...
Aw. It's hard making decisions for them at the end. ❤
@@WildHopeHomestead When you only have one it's super hard! When i had 4 it was a lot easier to let go one if it's an older cat...a young one is always super depressing....a real nightmare!
You had a great cat in Nala,you shouldn't wait and you should get another one very soon,it's worth it not to wait! I lost 6 cats and 5 in the last 3.5 years and i got two new one since and i love so much because they are all unique and so awesome! Thanks for your video you are great!
Mmmmmm looks really good...i love cornbread ❤ i like it with honey and melted butter on top.
Oh, i can't watch this. I'm so sorry. "It is a fearful thing to love what death can touch.” - Anonymous
😂😢❤ soo cute...i am so SORRY for your liss😢 made me cry too...and I don't have a cat...now i want one❤ God bless you and your family🎉
Thank you. ❤
@@WildHopeHomestead your welcome.
Sorry for your loss, saying goodbye to fur family is hard.❤
Thank you.
It looks like you had a great life with your kitty. Sorry for your loss. 💕
We sure did. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, sorry for you loss 😓
Thank you. ❤
😢 I remember Nala … our girl is over 15 years now.
Aw, she's going well too.
How did these chickens go? Did you just end up scattering the feed?
After a little while they figured out that they could eat grass! I kept feed in a feeder for them to make sure they got enough.
Heya so cool to see you sharing your little slice of earth. Id so love to see it in person!
Thanks Lydia! Well, we might have to sort something out. 🙂
@@WildHopeHomestead I'll be up your end of the country in the second week of the school holidays.
@lydiastoneham3440 Ok, I'll message you.
I'm not normal either and I like it that way. And of course I'm going to click on to something that says it's not normal. Caught my attention right away
Excellent, welcome to the club! 😁
So did Angus get his money!!!! 😂😂 Love how he said, “you owe me $6” (is that $3 a row?)
He got some compensation. Sometimes he gets money, sometimes he gets a book, and sometimes he gets nothing but the work ethic of helping out. 😁 He probably did figure it as $3 per row. But he usually suggests $6 for anything. That doesn't mean he gets that much though!
❤❤
