I am so proud of you Bri. You faced a fear of yours and are prepared to face them again. You are a strong and gentle. Your whole family is a blessing.
I don't think it's kind to tease or try to "correct" people who are afraid of snakes. She is not faking it; she's really afraid of them.
Instablaster...
I remember over 60 years ago (how'd I get this old?) my mother killing a copperhead on our concrete front stoop. It was big and was sunning itself. With 7 kids my mother wanted it gone. She managed to chop it off hear the head. My father thought she over reacted and was likely a nonvenomous type. He went to look at it in the brush where she'd thrown it. He came back and hugged her and said I shouldn't have doubted you.
Loved this little story you shared❤️
Cccoppppperhead. Oh my. Definitely venomous!
I had an aunt and uncle who lived in a beautiful spot in Kentucky. They had 2 chicken houses and every year copperheads would nest under the houses. My aunt would pull them out from under the chicken houses and chop their heads off with a spade. She was a much braver woman than I will EVER be re: snakes!
Bri, there is nothing wrong with being afraid of snakes. Every dance step I know, came from some encounter with a snake! I'm right there with ya, sister!
And the high jump.
Snakes ! Ugh. The hair stood up on my scalp and I'm in my livingroom. Bri, your ARE NOT A WUSS.
Wilder still has so many of his sweet mannerisms. Such a beautiful soul.
Yikes! I know they're beneficial, but I'd like them to be beneficial elsewhere.
If you like rats, get rid of the snakes! If you'd rather the rats instead of finding snakes....then encouraging snakes(preferably garter/nonvenomous) is your smarter option!
Get guineas
AMEN!!!
For Realz
@@highstandards6226 The Rats here would eat those snakes.
My three year old grandson loves strawberries. The excitement he exuded in the garden was so joyful. The next day there was over two dozen! He wanted to eat them all. Love seeing children in the garden.
"There's 5!!!!"
"Mama, it's a baby. It won't hurt you. 🙄." Sorry it was so traumatic for you, Bri. 😊
Poor Bri! You are so tough in so many other ways. Its ok to not like snakes. You are training your kids to be accustomed to things you leaned to be afraid of as a child. I think that is pretty great. We love you Bri just as you are sweetie. You are a special gal.
I love Grace's bravery!! She be little but mighty!!!
The fear you have is deep and ingrained. You should be proud you have conqured it as much as you have!!
Another amazing video, I grew up in South Africa so saw quite a few snakes, terrify me, even a long earthworm scares me!! The garden looks so vibrant and bursting with food. Love Wilder’s hissing.
Wow mommy it's tiny it can't hurt you... That's one brave girl 👍
When you were placidly talking along, then turned your head and screamed 'there's three now?!?!' with your face all flushed and shocked...I about spit out my coffee.
Hilarious, Bri. And I'm right there with you, terrified of the teeniest one no matter how harmless.
Bri, I’m with you 100%! Tomatoes were deep enough, and no snake pits in the garden! 😂
I immediately got irritated on her behalf at his criticism.
I would have been worse than you lol. I got the heebie-jeebies just watching this!
I love that Bri has her own plunge pool. Well done Art.
I understand your fear of kids and water. Kids listen but can’t be trusted. Please do not trust your children to stay away from water. Put up a tight fence! My cousin 3 1/2, slipped away, walked a mile to the pond he had been shown the day before. The plastic liner made it hard for him to get out. His loss was devastating to the whole family, still is many years later.
These stories are so tragic.. My friends 2 yo nephew fell in a pond last yr... He survived but severe brain damage and physically handicap..😭
@@jenniferrescott1149 So sad, it happens so fast!
Yes its true.. a three year old boy died drowning while the mom thought the dad had him and vise versa... He walked very far to the pond and they found him too late x
Lose the pool!!
Yes a family was having a party,man a dr,& their youngest child got in pool or fell,& just 3-4min realized he had disappeared out of sight & found him,he survived but very disabled! Broke their hearts & no one ever near same again! Many have drowned in farm ponds due to getting caught in wire or things on bottom.
Excellent video Bri and whoever is the camera person! You handled the snakes extremely well. I have known people who could not have stayed and planted the tomatoes because their fear of snakes was so intense. I am not afraid of snakes but I definitely have good respect for the poisonous ones. I love that they eat many pests in the garden.
Nice job on planting the tomatoes too, the only thing I do differently is removing the lower leaves and suckers.
We did truck gardening in both Kansas and Missouri when I was a child, we grew large amounts of many vegetables, I am 67 years young and still raising milk goats, a lot of chickens, turkeys, pigs, and of coarse many guinea fowl because I am afraid of ticks and Lymes disease.
I truly enjoy your video family, farm, life. You are far braver than I am because you put yourselves on the line for the world to see the good and the bad! Thank you!
Can not laugh about your fear. I would probably be 2 states away by now. And it would be my last day in the garden. I don't care how beneficial some can be. My feelings are "the only good snake is a dead snake."
Agreed
Eleanor Fitzsimmons What an ignorant, ridiculous statement. Most snakes are non-poisonous. Snakes eat rodents. There's a large city near me that has killed all their snakes and are now overrun with mice and rats. Would you prefer rats?
Deep in the Heart of Texas But most people don’t know that about snakes. I’d rather encounter a dead snake that was venomous, or an alive one that is.
Too many people feel like you do. That's why they are so rare-all you sissies murder them.
I agree with you , no snakes at my place either and no rats either ..
I'm not laughing AT ALL. I'd have set the whole place on FIRE!
Me too….there would’ve been a huge fire
I LOVE your cold water pond! Your gardens look amazing. And considering your fear, you are doing very well with those snakes. You guys have a wonderful place to live and grow.
Would like to try that. Am going to try the tub.
Hey I am with you on that one! I saw our first snake in 3 years and I about had a heart attack! I began crying I was so scared. Found 2 more the next week. They can now eat stuff somewhere else. And you did plant the tomatoes at the right depth. I learned that working at the local greenhouse. Your garden looks wonderful. And I love Ms.Cow with the attitude! Nice family. Have a great week. Watch ya later!
I jumped everytime you shared another find.. oh my word girl I am with ya...
Am I the only one who pulled my feet up when the snakes came out? I am so terrified of snakes! Bri you handled it so well
Ha I did too lol!
No your not the only one...lol... I'm not terrified but I don't want to be surprised...and to have that many!!! I'd be gone. Ha
I'd never step foot in the garden if there were snakes slithering around in it. I hate them with a passion.
Feed them to the chickens
I suspect that fear of snakes is a learned thing. Me.. I'm terrified of coral snakes... but I adore the common Garter snake... and love to see THEM in my garden.
Lets face it... there are snakes... and then there are SNAKES... Just need to learn the helpful ones from those few Bad Boys.
Bri...I can’t believe your still standing in the garden while those snakes are everywhere! RUN GIRL RUN..lol...I know I would run! Blessings y’all 🙏🏻💖
I'm right with you!! Once I see one, my garden days are over for the season. I agree, it takes the joy out of gardening.
Bri, I feel you on the snakes! I can't do them either. I would be so done with the garden. I didn't laugh at you.
You two make a great couple. You have a beautiful family.
"It's tiny. It can't hurt you." That is one cool kid.
Just want to send you guys a HUGE compliment, that your stalls always look so fresh and nice, i have seen other youtubers who should be embarrassed at how the have their beloved animals living in such wet black smelly looking hay. I admire how healthy and clean your home and barns always look. BTW my grandma was "allergic" to snakes we couldnt even say the word infront of her. so have no fear snakes are normal to be afraid of. keep it all up
Bri I am right there with you about the snakes. Venomous or not they make my skin crawl. Our oldest son want a snake so bad when he was a kid and I was absolutely not! I won’t have a snake in the house! Now I have a granddaughter that is also a snake lover 😲. Told her the exact same thing.
Bri, you gave an excellent example of how to calm anxiety. You may not realize how much you are teaching your kids about being calm and rational but i see it and am super proud of you.
Bri...we all have things that make us “glitch”...despite the snake thing, you are very brave and strong ☮️💜😺
I’m right with you...I too am terrified of snakes! Definitely takes the fun out of gardening. Great job Arthur and the kids are so brave.
Bri you are so adorable. Snakes and spiders are the same in my book. Love watching your videos thank you so much for sharing .
Thanks for the laugh! My mom was terrified of snakes also. She was so bad that if they came on the T.V. (when you had to turn the knob to turn the station) she'd cover her eyes and walk to the T.V. and change the channel. Of course her cat would bring them home and she'd make me go move the snake.
I almost had a heart attack just watching! I share our fear of snakes!
I agree with you Bri!! I hate snakes!! I live in Florida and there was a really big water moccassin snake in my screened in patio a few months ago, it was so hard to get him out but we did!!!
I am absolutely terrified of snakes!!!!!!
*I'm absolutely fascinated by snakes and spiders and I always have! 🐍🕷🐍🕷🐍*
Nothing makes my heart feel like it stopped like the sight of a snake ! If I find snakes in my garden I think I’d be so done .
Why? Did you ever ask yourself?
@@musiclover-tf6fu I know! They are Gods beaded creatures. Such beauties!
it’s nice to live in a farm with your loved ones!❤️
Uhhh I feel for you, I despise snakes! When I moved out to my property it had been untouched for years and everything was like a field. The first summer you couldn’t even walk outside without seeing a snake everyday. I hated it so bad, they were everywhere! After an entire year of cleaning property and getting a few barn cats, it finally controlled it. I only see maybe one or two every summer now, but still freaks me out every time. I’ve been around snakes and country my whole life and I just never been able to overcome it and don’t even care at this point. Lol
My husband was laughing at me while I freaked out over the snakes just watching. I feel your pain! We don't even have snakes in New Zealand.
That sounds like the title to a book, “There’s too many snakes in my garden”. I’m with you though Bri, I don’t like snakes
I understand your stance about snakes. Watching your video, I realized it is the way they move that is so startling. You never know which way they will go next. I feel your pain, sister.
It’s easy to watch from my living room in the suburbs but I understand feeling so uneasy about something and seeing so many at once must be overwhelming. I’m that way with roaches.
Oh my gosh, I forgot about roaches. It's heating up here so they're looking for shade and there was one inside last night. They're even less likely to hurt me than spiders but they skeeve me SOOOO much! Like Bri, I had to get my husband to get rid of it for me.
homesteadwitchery I’ll run and cry from roaches. Spiders I can usually handle well enough lol
Snakes terrify me so badly that when I saw one in my flower bed on the side of our house I NEVER went over there again. We lived there for 7 years and I loved my flowers from the windows only. I would never make it living there. In my eyes you are brave!
Sweet family! And I would be screaming like a banshee if I saw the snakes. Even tho I know nice ones are good ones. Still gives me anxiety.
I am so with you girlfriend.
🤣🤣🤣 I’m about to post a video of a huge one we just trapped in our chicken coop, and I was freaking out just watching it back! It had a red tongue!!! 😵
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage you know most snakes do have red tongues.
I know you don’t want to go back in time but you both were such a good team. ❤️🙏🏻
I feel the same and would be screaming my head off.
I am glad you aren’t afraid to show your fear. I have the same phobia of snakes and even worms.
Bri.. id be up on the fence screaming with you ..and I live in australia!! you know the place with the most venomous bitey things ...
I’m new to your channel but they will bite if cornered. I’m in Ok and I found one in my family room last year. I woke my husband up who’s 80 and said snake in the house. He got up and got it but it did try to bite him as he held it by the tail to go out the back door. Startled him but didn’t scare him. My hero.
Bri, I’m not laughing at you! There is something about MULTIPLE snakes that freaks me out.
Mom screaming with fear and Grace squealing with delight
One snake too many- I bet they're breeding in that warm compost. Take care Y'all .
I totally understand the shock of having them scare you and agree wholehearted in removing them from your work area!! Glad to see you laughing at yourself and no_one should laugh at you!
I'm just as terrified, Bri. Especially in the compost pile tarped area.
I have no problems with snakes but they still get my heart pumping fast if I'm startled.
A Spring dip sounds good to me. Have Art write a song about"How deep do you plant your tomatoes".
Don't blame you. I would feel the same way. Do not like snakes.
Thank you Bri..I have now been instructed to venture into the rain and remove any plastic covering on the ground in our gardens
Those snakes are small. I had huge rat snakes on my place in the country here in Texas. They would try to eat my cats. Had a 5 ft one bite me on my upper thigh. It hurt like the devil. I hate snakes! Fear of snakes is a genetic memory that most of us are born with.
Don't worry about being scared of snakes, you can't help it. My fear is spiders, big or small I am so scared and we don't have any poisonous ones and they are not that big either. I thought you handled that situation very well. Love your videos.
My mother had severe episodes from snakes, including a period in her childhood that she lost her voice for months. All she remembered was seeing a copperhead and trying to scream. I read that we are actually hard wired to fear snakes and spiders, the theory was it was an inborn survival instinct . The idea does have merit, regardless, Bri, you are not a pansy!!
A fabulous farmer showed me the 'trench' method. It keeps the roots closer to the heat by digging a shallower trench in which the plants can be gently guided to a vertical position. It's easy to get them deep enough and uses the compost to its fullest.
same here . also I was taught at an early age (70 now ) to remove any leaves that would be buried . to reduce the possibility of disease.
I am in Minnesota and John the amazing farmer taught me this in 1982 growing in a zone 3.
It’s hard to watch I couldn’t imagine being there
Awww you did well for being startled repeatedly. I'm better about snakes then i used to be too.
The garden is lovely.
At least he is there to protect you. I would’ve been there by myself scared to death, takes forever for me to get nerve to go back where there’s been a snake. I’m a coward.
It makes me feel soooo much better to see another gardener so afraid of snakes. We found 3 this weekend and I literally peed my pants!!! I’m in Arkansas and it’s been super wet here so I’m sure that has something to do with the number of snakes we’ve been finding. ✌️❤️
I laugh in horror, because I know this is exactly how I would respond!
My grandfather planted his tomatoes plants on their sides for more roots and up and down like you have done because of the wind that we get here. His gardens were beautiful too. He planted everywhere too.
The snakes are your friends. I remember one day I was washing and I had to do it by hand and I had the water going in my flower bed next to where I was washing and I looked at it very hard to see what kind it was a it wasn't a rattle snake it was just a bull snake who will kill a rattle snake and they are cousin to each other. So I just let it go and let it take it baths.
Loves and hugs from the little old lady in New Mexico USA. May God bless you and your family
I'm totally with you on the snakes! I know they wont hurt you but I freak out...cant stand it when I see one in garden..ugh!
You are so calm I would be freaking out!
I am so afraid of snakes!!We had a beautiful cabin on a lake. I found a big snake in the walkout basement in the living room. I would not go back downstairs after that. Then I was cleaning the carpets upstairs and reached under a chair to move what I thought was a extension cord and grabbed a BIG green snake!! I was so weak I almost fainted!! I finally got a bucket with a lid and used a snake catcher and got him! We had to sell the cabin because I just could not sleep there anymore. I just knew a snake would be in the bed.After we sold it my husband told me he had caught snakes in the house a few times and got rid of them so I would not know they were in the house!! I also was working in my garden one time and we had a big sheet of metal roofing laying on the ground and I went to move it and there was maybe 50 snakes under it!!! Me and my shovel went crazy so I really understand how you feel about snakes!!! I know they are good for some things, but just not for me!!
Oh my god!!!! I'm soooo afraid of snakes. I still go out to garden, only because i love my plants lol
Arthur & Grace to the rescue! Totally agree, too many snakes in the garden. But the silver lining may be that it means your garden is thriving, attracting little rodents, and providing prey for the snakes. Your pasture rotation appears successful. That grass looks so healthy & green!
Your just like my wife ! She is so scared of any snake. She doesnt take the time to determine if its a poisonous kind but takes the hoe to it. Her motto is "if its in the woods it lives, but if its in the garden its dead.
Excellent motto haha. I'm in full agreement.
Having that many snakes is mother nature complimenting you on your garden and what a safe space it is.
I would have had a heart attack. I don't even like rubber snakes.
My hubby's back is worse this year, so me and my son have to take care of the whole garden. I know that the lower leaves of the tomatoes have to come off-everything below the first fruit set. My hubby never wanted to do it, so this year we are doing it. One day he came outside and asked who butchered his tomato plants. It was so funny because we didn't butcher anything. We removed all lower leaves and each plant now has clusters of beautiful tomatoes. He is worse than me, at least I try to learn something new and helpful and do it. Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!
I’m here chuckling but then realize I’m afraid of caterpillars 😕
I have always had a similar fear of snakes, but lately have been reading about how they are shy, non-aggressive creatures, often injured and killed by people with an unreasonable fear of them. It really helps to see them as deserving sympathy. I try to have pity on them, and think of them as a creature that is just trying to make a living, same as me. If I see them in my garden, I leave until they are gone. So far we seem to be doing ok with this attitude. I urge you to read about them and try to desensitize yourself as much as possible. I still cant touch one, or even look for more than a few seconds, and my heart pounds with each encounter, but it's getting better.
I am really no lover of snakes but I do respect them and know they are great for mice and rat control. I have tried to learn as much about them as I can so that we can come close to living in harmony with each other. (I hate mice and rats with a passion so you see, snakes are more of a friend to me than an enemy) Also, did you know snakes are deaf? they "hear" you coming by vibration so all you have to do is stomp your feet or pound the ground and they will gladly slither away.
This is how my day is going to. Bull snakes breeding on the patio!! No, we will not be having that.
This is a great video.I absolutely love your daughter. She can be the snake catcher on my property anytime. She is such a brave girl and I literally hate snakes. I would have ran miles to get away from those snakes. You are brave just as she is. You handled yourself well. I would have left the garden up to my husband.
I don't care if it's a snake 2ft long or 2 inches long....get rid!!.... The only wriggle things I want in my garden are worms (or hose pipes 😇)
Scattering the cow pies will help with the Lush spots that the cows aren't eating. You guy's place is looking so good! Can't wait to see how the house developes when the time comes! Love and blessings to you and your family 💕😘🙏
When I was pregnant with my first child, My friends husband built me a pool in the back of his truck cause I was so hot and very big lol it was awesome
Omg...Snakes! God bless Arthur and your fearless daughter!
Its o.k. Bri: My sister is so scared of snakes that even if she see's one on T.V. she screams and then faints.
Not making fun of your true fear. And proud you've overcome it as much as you have!
Not funny to me either Bri, I’m 69, male, and I would have reacted same way!
i have caught garter snakes before, but not any lately. you all were busy bodies today. we have had soo much rain that we have had flood warnings. i think its gonna stop later this evening. you all have a good day !!
I’m also scared of snakes ugh
Nope, nope, nope!!!! I totally get it! I can appreciate how they are beneficial... it is their presence around me where I take issue.
Nope. Noper. Nuh-uh. No snakes for me either girl. Wilder counting 😂😂😂
Bri I am not laughing at you but screaming with you. I got bit by a rattlesnake on my foot walking out our backdoor. One fang got me the other hit the buckle in my sandle. My blood pressure went over 200 and the front part of my tounge went numb. Ambulance took me to emergency. They put a line on my leg with ink and if the swelling went past that I would have to have antivenom. Thank God it didn't! I couldn't put weight on my heel for over 6 months. It was frightening. So don't apologize I understand. We live in Tucson AZ. Lots of snakes here. Love your garden it is beautiful!! So happy your happy. Carol from Tucson
Garter Snakes are beneficial Animals. They keep the Rodents in check. Back home we had Milk Snakes in the Barn to keep the Mice and Rats in check.
Great idea!
So smart of you to keep up with your polar plunging.
oh no thank you ugh I would have peed my pants .....
I only wanted to see the snakes but I couldnt change the channel coz i got hooked of your beautiful farm and of course the farmers and kids.. loved it! hugs from the Philippines
Welcome to our channel. Thank you for the kind comment.
