- Plowing and tilling a new garden! We are getting serious about food production in 2020! This new garden spot is about 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. Plowed using a Brinly plow behind my 1967 Cub Cadet 122 narrow frame garden tractor and tilled using a pull behind tiller.

That is work!!
@@philipbrazis8732 One handed with a troybuilt horse tines rotate reverse of a normal tiller and low is slow enought to turn it loose and eat your lunch as it runs down the clods you just turned up. That's why they used to call us farmers clod hoppers HA HA.
I think y ou have done a bloody great job of tilling that ground , you have to be proud of yourself for doing it in a day . even in the heat , and your son, he looks so like his mum.
Chiropractor "What have you been doing?"
Sam "Tilling!"
Last time I went to a chiropractor, he told me that he can't touch me because there was too great of a risk of breaking a bone and paralyzing me.
I love the smell of fresh tilled soil in the morning.
Yes!!
I got a real chuckle watching the tilling being done in high speed.
That's some good-looking soil there, and your little boy is precious!! So typical, too - you gotta love 'em!
The old cubs are priceless on the farm.
I am impressed with that Cub Cadet. The single furrow plow helped a lot to break up that deep sod. I don't know why I enjoy watching this so much, but I could sit for hours watching tilling, mowing and all yard work.
im only 5 minutes into viedeo ... and while you took a little break im coming to say how i feel for your back ... rolling and tumbling over those big chunks of earth ....takes me back ..oh my ... get a good rest tonight ...well deserved
I wish I could relive those days of playing in the creek and get covered in dirt!
Man looks great……I was thinking boy he must really want to make that land into a garden…..brutal…….great job/ video
Nice tractor 🚜 Making grass
Okay thanks for letting me know I love you too much
Great tractor coul you show your tractor and your repair on it cost on capacity on brand., great videos thanks, joe.
Awesome
That garden is huge!! Man.. the cubby worked hard and handled it amazing too.
Job well done. Always makes me feel better when I can scratch a job off the To Do List. 👍👍👍
The freshly tilled garden looks great. You could see the joy on your son's face at being able to play in the creek AND in the dirt and have the fish come THIS close to him! OH JOY! 😊😊😊😊👍 Great job Sam!
Keep it up 💪👍
Way cool
Just what I've been looking for, someone doing serious food production with a garden tractor. I was beginning to think I was all alone.
We have a cub cadet! Had it for years and we love it! We use it to move the boat and what ever needs moving. For a little thing it’s powerful for what we need!❤️❤️ garden is looking nice. ❤️❤️❤️
That is awesome!
Love the attachments, can't wait to see the garden grow with all kinds of goodies planted in it,and also i can't wait to see who's gonna be weeding it all lol😆👍😊...
Gitt'er done!! 💪✊ WhoopWhoop!!
Slap a loader on the garden tractor you have a perfect main homestead tractor a lot of people go with the new Kubota when you can get one like yours or ours and do the same thing
I admire you for using simple things to make it work, you used what you had, there's a lot to be said for that, that shows determination. We need more of that now a days. Great channel, I love your videos too.
God bless 🙏
I agree..it looks beautiful! Nothing like turned earth..planting, and harvesting!
That tractor is the greatest thing. I'd love to find an old one, like that style & restore it.
More hard work ahead. Looks good. Happy to see your kids playing in the creek. Those were my best memories ever on my great grandmas farm.
That's close to the size of garden that my dad gardens. It's looking great. I can't wait to see how everything grows for you this year.
Its great seeing your son outside playing. I remember growing up and we were outside from early morning until the sun went down!
Ya ain't fer from getting all free equipment to show good work
My dad had a Cadet 100 when I was a kid great little tractor.
Good work, Sam!!! I look forward to seeing things growing in it.
That little tiller is a dirt devil...lol
It sure is! I've since learned that it needs a smaller engine pulley to slow it down. :)
You are being a country boy! Nothing better! Learn all you can! Great job!
Your little buddy is precious! You are blessed! Garden looks great so far!
My bride says you're so squishy cute, we love you guys, God Bless 🙏🙏💚🧡👍
That is an awesome tractor and equiptment set up. Its done a great job and looks so good!
I like your video & Cub Cadet 122. Your tractor reminded of mine Cub Cadet 104 that I use to have, great little tractor.
Happy Gardening and I hope you have lots of great produce from it. Craig
That's a lot of gardening space!! Yay for y'all!
That was a wild & bumpy ride !! 😳🤣. Looking good ! I see lots of canning in Angela’s future !! ❤️👍
back on my homestead we trained horses to pull our plow and cultivated our fields with a pitchfork
Dang that’s one fast cub cadet tractor lol.. this making me rethink my lawn tractor. He’s so cute!!!!!
Nice love to see old equipment in action thanks for taking us along the ride
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll remember to show the ole cub as much as I use it, too.
Very nice video. I too have a small farm/homestead. I like your tractor being a 1964.I have a 1970 ford with tiller, mower, and snowblower. It works great! You just can't beat the old stuff! Look forward to more videos!
I can't wait until I can come off the road and do the things you are doing! Until then keep making the videos and I will live through you. lol Loved hearing from your son! Way to let him be a kid!
Great job, Sam
Boys and creeks. Lucky kids!
Expec you make a great video with the complete teardown & psarts as you rebuild, it, great say hello & your kid & family from panama joe.
Hard to believe with this heat they are calling for frost latter this week! Nice to have that old mower/tractor, they don't make them like that any more.
Those tiller tines looked like they spun awfully fast. If you put a smaller pulley on the engine you would have a little more power. Great project! Best of luck!
Sam, well done in that heat! I am proud of your hard work out there. Please tell Angela I said Hi. Take care and God Bless.
Good job you did, your boys are so cute. Best wishes to you all 🇬🇧
Love that you opened up the lower garden for planting. I wished we had a rototiller it would sure be put to work. Your soil looks just soft and light and perfect to get going on your rows and planting. Kudos on your hard work, I know it isn't easy and it is a job to be sure. The heat doesn't make it any easier but thank goodness it's not in the 90's or 100's. Great job and I am sure Angela is aching to get in and get planting. Anxious to see how you get water to it or perhaps there is a spring you can draw from in some way.
Blessings and great job! I love that you used the Cadet and keep it running! Kudos!!!
Probably from the creek by it..be easy anyway unless it dries up in summertime.
Good job, Sam. Hope you get a bountiful harvest! A good day for you and mini-Sam. (:
Thanks so much!
My father in law had the same Cub Cadet like you have. He used it to drive around the neighborhood rofl. We always knew when he was coming to our house when I lived in Oregon
Hahaha that's great!
Can't wait to see your garden flourishing, you did a great job Sam. We're heading into cold, wet weather in southern Australia so seeing all you North Carolina UA-camrs getting ready to plant does this gardener's heart good.
We'll try to keep you entertained and going through your winter then. :) Thanks!
Inspiration from all that hard work for you to put in permanent beds and paths so that you can be no-till from this year on.
Tilling is hard work! Looks nice, now to plant!
Fantastic job! getting really exciting now what with greenhouse as well!!
Us too! Hoping to finish the next step on greenhouse today then have that video up before Friday night.
You son melts my heart.
Dude you were doing some serious tilling! That was fun to watch!
You did really well there Sam getting the ground broken up ready to start planting your fresh food , the little tractor did well even with a busted clutch , it's going to be well worth the work once you see the plants grow , and fresh food from your own land on your table , can't get any fresher than that for sure . Tastes real different fresh from the land . Excellent job . Are you going to do any fruit , trees or berry crops etc . ? . . Was viewing your brother's channel yesterday , you both have the same good work ethics , he said he's going to be starting his house build soon . I will be viewing his build from start to completion be good to see the progress . Will you be helping out also , if you have time . That being said your hilarious when you get together the way you bounce of each other , your son doing really well , helping you get out of a jam , good job little fella .well done . Taking after his father for sure . 👍👍👍 . Keep up the excellent work and content . Stay safe everyone . .
I'll bet it smells great too! Way to go. I wanted to be right there with you guys. I love that kind of work.
It does smell good! :)
Yep! It's real pretty. I turn it over and wait a couple days to let the sod rot but...it's way damper here than it would be where you live. Now, that is a decent sized garden that should let you plant about anything you'd like. I can't wait to see what goes in there!!! What's watering gonna be like? We pumped out of the creek for years. Only downside is cleaning the screen on the foot valve 4-5 times a day :(
You will have an awesome garden ❣️
That little tractor is a beast!
A great days work 👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇬🇧💕
your determination is just what it takes to be a homesteader. farm on brother.
Thank you!
Good job..I just mowed for the first time in PA..
It's good to have the helper entertained, WINK wink 😉
Sure is! LOL
Seems like that was a lot of work.
Great job
something you should checkout, especially if it is a little farther from the home, is how to build a food forest. Basically you recreate deep forest conditions and populate it with food producing plants, trees, and vines
it takes a little more upfront setup but after that nature keeps everything going without any real input from you
this is actually what I plan to do once I buy my own acreage
Your little boy is so cute!
Great video, your son is a cutie! That’s a nice big garden!
Love to have that plow and tiller. I do all mine with a push n pull tiller. I just finished tilling a week ago getting the ground ready and it started raining every other day. It'll be weeks before I get it dry enough to plant. I been growing my own food for about 15 seasons now but this year im taking it more seriously because people say food is going up and having a shortage as well. I guess you could call me a prepper these days. Anyway thanks for sharing and giving me a few ideas.
You did good! I'm looking forward to seeing it full of food for you all.
Us too!
you had me watching when i seen the sweet old cub! very nice!
Thanks 👍
Big job done, Sam. If you cover the tough hard dirt area with about 2-3 inches of straw or hay for a week or so water it well, it should soften and loosen up. love your videos and your son is so handsome a smart.
That poor little tractor!
Doing a good job keep going👍😉
Good luck dealing with ground compaction. After the third pass I was grimacing
Brilliant work and thanks for the content
Much appreciated!
That's the fast I havwe ever seen anyone till with a walk behind tiller.
Love your yellow mule!
You gotta do what you gotta do. Expand what you can. We decided to do the same this year.
Exactly!! Great job too!
Rough going on unbroken ground but you got it looking good! You've got a good little helper there. I thought maybe he was picking out rocks for you. Nothing better than playing in the creek. ;-)
You got that right, he's a great helper! He was finding rocks, then it turned into just getting dirty to then wash off in the creek. LOL That was very rough plowing then tilling all that, but glad it's done and will be easier from here on. Still need to work the ground more and till it more, too before planting.
You have a great old tractor there!! Do you have a lower gear so the tiller can just chew and chew? You've got a great kid there! I saw him hustling in the background with that shovel. He wasn't running but he was a man with a purpose 👍. I'm in zone 3 Wisconsin, 52 degrees and sunny. I'm also a big guy, don't like the heat. Blessings to you and your family 🙏
omg, your son is crazy adorable
Oh man...that is a really big garden....it reminds me if where I grew up and my mothers garden! Plus you have a greenhouse! You are a busy family!💙 Yes that little tractor did real good. Impressed. What do u plan to plant in the new garden spot? Will you fence it? Looking forward to seeing more. Stay safe ...hugs to you all!
Good editing, I love the fact that you speed the video but not the sound
You guys are really serious about food production!! Wishing you the best of luck in all that you plant! Awesome!! It's very large!
We really are trying to be this year! Not only for us, but family too!
@@GreenAcreHomestead Awesome!! It will be appreciated!
Keep working it. The high spots will work out.
Hope so, thanks!
Your son is adorable...or should I say handsome...handsomely adorable❤
very funny hahaha
Life events change all of us. I have been gardening for 50 years and in the early days I canned food to put up for our winter food. I was a single mother with 2 boys, 18 months apart and as they grew so did my garden and chicken flock. I also made their clothes when they were little, again because we were poor. Skip ahead years I gardened and sewed what I liked. Tomatoes peppers and experimented with different types of gardening and more exotic type varieties. I started sewing for my granddaughters, and making quilts. This year I changed my methods again. I got the caner out and have canned hamburger, roast, chicken, potatoes, dehydrated several items and planted my garden with a calories in mind also. I have planted more potatoes, onions and beans. Strawberries, cantaloupe, watermelon, squash, tomatoes, and corn, broccoli and some salad, tomatoes and peppers. I have bought jars, and got a caner last year. I plan on putting up food this year, as much as I can. I am disabled due to a back injury and am not able to do as much as years past. We live in town so the garden size is small, but there is only 2 of us. I am building a chicken coop and will have 4 chickens. We are doing the best we can on SS. I am a retired/disabled Registered Nurse and My husband is a disabled Vietnam Vet. Thank goodness I have all the skills needed ..... I just don't have the stamina any more, but will do what I can for us. We have been sheltering in place since March 15. Our area is 4 highest in positive cases per population. Not a positive picture. Your homestead is looking beautiful, the work you and your wife are doing is wonderful. I love the positive loving way your are raising your children. Blessings and prayers for all of you and love being sent your way. MiChelle.
Thank you for this story and encouragement! Best of luck in getting your area set up again! Keep your faith, it will all work out for the good in the end. :)
hey thanks for sharing with us on youtube weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
A disc and cultivator/digger would work best before the tiller.
I had a big ole tiller and felt if you just held on to it it would dig deeper and tear u
It up better, couldn’t tell if you were doing that or not. Enjoy your videos
