    My husband and I purchased a home on one acre in 2022 and we are 62 yrs old. My husband has a good job, I am retired. I told my husband 4 or 5 yrs ago that we needed to have a purpose in our golden years. WE have some animals, I have a small garden, we have planted many more fruit trees. It is a lot of work daily, but I have never been healthier. I'm always working, I haul 40-50 bags of feed on my shoulder. I have more energy than my husband, most likely because he work an 8hr job. I'm in the sun, and haven't been sick in a very long time. God has blessed us with a grand baby and she loves animals, and eats so many fruits & veggies from our land. We have many family gatherings here and this property has brought our family so much closer. God is GREAT!

    I was a young single mother at 18, wondering how I could get ahead in life with my situation. My doctor looked at me while I was pregnant and said, “there are two kinds of people, those who want things and go out and get them, and those who say they want things and spend the rest of their lives blaming others for not giving it it them.”. Those words changed my life. I went to university and got a degree, and have worked every day of my life since then. It was hard, and for many years I was poor. But I learned how to make things myself, cook great food with very little, and be thankful for what I had. I’m now married with 3 children, and have a grandchild. The Lord blessed me greatly, and I worked hard for everyone I have, and everything I have. Thank you Danny and Wanda, your channel is a blessing to me.

    Danny, you have no idea how this video touched me. I have been disabled since 2013 and ever since then I have “acquired” other health issues. I truly believe it’s because I got to the point where I just gave up. My husband is always saying all he wants is to get his wife back. Yesterday with this horrible heat we’ve been having I pushed myself to make the bed and cook supper so he didn’t have to do it when he got home like he usually does. He turned 65 Sunday and he works outside and I decided I just needed to push myself to help him. It hurt like hell and I had to take mini breaks but I did it and felt good about myself that I did. Oh how I wish I could just sit and talk to you and Wanda but I know that will never happen. So in the meantime I will continue learning from y’all thru UA-cam and plug right along. God bless y’all from the bottom of my heart ❤️

    Hello, I think this is the most important video I have ever seen. I will be 70 this year. It is just me now and I do struggle from time to time with "should I give up or should I keep going?" I guess I don't have a choice but to keep going. I am finding that I feel better now than I have in several years. I garden, can, and do as much by myself as is possible. I had never done these things in my life. Asking for help from time to time is hard for me. However, I had some yard work I couldn't handle and asked a friend of mine if her son (out of work and depressed), would be able to help me. He said yes, I paid him, they left. My friend said it was such a blessing to him to actually do some work knowing it was helpful AND to get paid for it. Well, I have enough work lined up now, that I just can't do, to keep him busy for a while. We both win.

    Danny I had to back up the video and make sure I heard you right. I literally laughed out loud when you said some people think y’all are spoiled. If anybody watches 1/10 of y’all’s videos they will see that is not the case. And if they think that the pieces y’all show are really all there is to it, then bless their idiot hearts. Anybody growing a tiny back yard garden can attest to the amount of work that goes into making it grow . If they can watch all y’all do and listen to your teachings on it and still think y’all are spoiled, they aren’t worth wasting your energy on. Seeing all the things y’all have created and learning how you did it from start to finish has been an amazing blessing to so many people. Y’all taking the time to do videos /tutorials, and the livestreams to answer questions to help others learn to be more self sufficient is not the behavior of spoiled people. I’m sorry y’all have to deal with these people. But y’all need to know, the sound of mind , reasonable , God fearing people who watch your channel thank God for you and Wanda and your heart for people. Never let those people have a second of your limited time. Everybody else knows the truth.

    Man, you are darn right. I’m 40, but I remember summer being different. The sun and colors and the sky was different. I feel it. With the kids, I’ve been reading and teaching them Solar cycles Sasha Dobler :), and lots of scripture. We spend much of our days outside, acclimating to heat now then acclimating to cold in winter. It helps the body when you acclimate slowly. However, the changes from mild to extreme are fast, not allowing much acclimation.
    God Bless you all. I’ve got to go take the animals out to walk/run, then water things, move everyone to shade, go for an early run. It’s almost sunrise. Time to get cooking!

    Bless you & Wanda in all your efforts. I am 65 this Fall, a single lady, and I purchased a Vego bed this spring based on your recommendation. Still working on getting it set up but am looking forward to the results. I have increased my gardening efforts every year and have no intentions of slowing down until the Lord takes me home! I too suffer from bad knees, achy joints, vertigo sometimes, horrible allergies, but every day I do what God allows me to do & gives me the strength to accomplish. Be careful in the heat everyone & God Bless.

    I appreciate your content, especially the trial & error of trying to garden to fit your age at Pecan Grove. We have to adapt. I'm 58 and help my parents, in their 80's, on their homestead. I am self employed and God blesses me to get it all done. I don't ask nobody but God when things are needed. I needed to increase our fencing and God used a neighbor to bless me with 15 new cattle panels. Be a blessing how ever you can. It is not wise to compare yourself to others, nor to look back, nor to short change God's ability to provide.
    I have a good Father and glad to be in "the family".

      Yeah. I'm 45 and garden and can, etc. My family, my dad especially, don't understand. He asks, "What are you going to do with all that food? Are you really going to eat all those carrots/whatever?" It's odd that it seems that the lessons of things like gardening, canning, storing/preparing for the future, etc. seemed to skip many in their generation. Many in our generation are relearning a lot of these skills on our own.

It really doesn't help them a whit- but there's a lesson for them to learn. I've had that lesson too at times. I'll be 70 next year and run (or limp lol) a 17 acre homestead on my own and folks put me down cause my shoes are dirty, or my car's not perfect (and I live in the Ozarks!) Well guess what. I like it that way. I love my life and I can't believe Christ has blessed me so! We got this Sister Wanda, Brother Dan. We're standing strong in God's light.

I think we should all appreciate that you share and teach as much as you do. Seeing what y'all have been able to accomplish has certainly been encouraging to me. I'm older than you guys, and seeing how you go about making gardening easier for older folks is the reason I am still able to garden. Thanks for being willing to put in the time and effort to share your knowledge, not only about gardening and providing for ourselves. But also, trying to inform us about what is coming upon us.

I guarantee any critics aren't doing anything at all. Mom read that one comment to me when I was at her house. A lot of people just don't get that you are showing others what YOU are doing. I can't afford a high tunnel like yours, but I could afford a frame, and a roll of the cloth cover from separate sites, so that's what I did. I can't afford Vego beds, but I can buy protein tubs from local cattle ranchers. I can't afford a Harvest Right, but I can afford a Nesco dehydrator and canned goods.

The reason is it’s brought me where God wants me, closer to Him, depending upon Him! He’s showing me what I need to do. I’ve never been so blessed and happy in The Lord before. I have my herbs and plants in front of the window. Learning how to use those plants and what’s around me for healing and wellness. Helping the young mother with her ever expanding garden. Rejoicing yesterday when the four families brought home their grow dome to build out back! Praise The Lord they are able to do that! I could be jealous or rejoice. I choose to rejoice seeing them be blessed! I’d love to homestead and can outwork people half my age and I’m a broken down woman😅.

    Many thanks for the encouragement. I retired just before turning 62, built two small raised beds (one for strawberries & one for veg) to add to my three apple trees, and bought some berry bushes...then I added to the garden each year, bought some more berry bushes & propagated some. Now I'm looking at buying two properties, one about 1/4 acre with a house and the other about 2/10 of an acre of raw land about 1/4 mile from the first. By the time the deal is done I'll likely be 66, and just beginning the planting of fruit & nut trees, berry bushes, herbs, a new veg garden, areas for the pollinators...it's a lot for one person to take on (it'll be done by hand, my biggest 'power equipment' is a self-propelled mower), and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be achy & exhausted along the way, but the possibilities draw me. I can have a well instead of municipal water...and while the tiny town I'll be moving to (Lord willing, the deal's not done yet) doesn't allow any livestock, it also won't violate city ordinance to have compost bins or a dirt pile, and the neighbors won't get on my case if the grass gets more than 5" tall. The area is near enough to family that, if absolutely necessary, I can call on them (they have their own lives so I don't want to rely on them too much)...and properties cost less (other costs are about the same & some are slightly higher) so I'm hoping to have funds to put in at least a small solar system for fridge & freezer and the pump. It's hard, because on the one hand I get excited and want to charge forward...but on the other hand I know it'll be a while before I take possession, and if I want to follow permaculture principles I then have to wait a year (sorry, but the veg garden isn't going to wait that long, I want my fresh food). Thanks again, and may the Good Lord continue to bless you abundantly.

    I am happy to see you enjoy your blessings. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. I too could have easily given up several times in my life but I’m still here and I enjoy my blessings. Thanks to God four blessings.
