Mr. Brown may occasionally lose his shoes, but he has become a great teacher to Henry. He includes Henry in so many projects. Great job parents!! Leading by example.
I am amazed at your lily!! She puts grown women to shame.... what a marvelous little lady.... she is going places and will be and is a successes in her life..
Mr. Brown and no shoes is such a vibe. I’m there with ya kiddo! Also shout out to Mr. Brown for being such a great example for baby Henry! So precious to see them interact with each other!
I think for Josiah being such a great help on the farm you should surprise him with paint to paint his swords.
Justin and Becky, you both have done a fantastic job parenting your children. It is so exciting to see how all your children are involved in all aspects of your homestead. They all participate so well. More parents need to follow your lead. This world would have a so much better future. Keep up the great work!!
Lily, you are an amazing young woman! A baker, a daily cow milker and you're not afraid to hop into the water tank.
From one lefty to another, it puts a smile on my face to see Henry using his left hand. It means he is in his right mind lol
I can't express how proud I am of the children! Even Henry is taking part. God bless all of you.
Your daughter is a hard worker!
You're children are all amazing. You are all so blessed.
I have never seen a child wave goodbye for a nap. He really is a sweet child.
Your kids are amazing! They operate chain saws, bake cakes unsupervised, milk cows, take care of pigs, dig holes and plant trees. Is there anything they can't do or even don't want to do? You are a very lucky man.
Where did you buy all your fruit trees Justin? Your kids have more farm and homestead experience than most people! You and your wife are fantastic parents!
Gideons face as he was helping plant the trees was priceless. He looked so happy. Maybe he will become an arbourist or tree warden, or park ranger! It was lovely to see him so connected, and those fruit trees will pay back over and over. I'm jealous.
Glad you caught that
OMG your kids are all around AMAZING! If I walked into the kitchen and saw my son or daughter cooking and baking for the family at ANY age I’d think I’d died and gone to the great beyond. They are all stellar citizens, not in small part to the excellent parenting and the fact that they are active participants in the family. Great job kids!! 😊
I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING for a beautiful family and life like you guys. Anything.
Peroxide, baking soda and dawn detergent will go a long way to eliminate the smell on your dog. 1 quart of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, • ¼ cup of baking soda, and 2 teaspoons of liquid dish soap. Ingredients must be mixed in an open container and used immediately. (for your size dog I would double or triple it.) We used this for our German Shepherds and it helped so much.
You stumbled on a little known secret here Janice. I picked this up from a Popular Science Magazine 40 years ago. Yep, they knew about stuff like this back then. After extracting all I can through steam cleaning I will saturate a solution of peroxide with baking soda. That means keep adding the stuff until it doesn't disolve anymore. Then apply (I use a pump sprayer) to furniture or carpets that have organic issues of this magnitude like spots from a organic life form.
Used in the final stages of cleaning, what isn't flushed/rinsed after that point will have the free radicals in their molecules ionically bound by the residual as a bug in amber as it's sealed so that it's no longer free to interact with the environment.
I clean windows too.
AND NO WATER.
@@janmilos5975 Correct, no water.
@@janmilos5975 water worked for me lol. Maybe it was because I used it right away.
Washed all of the slime off with a hose and then gave him a bath with some shampoo and he was good
Poor🐾 Winnie🐾🥺🥺🥹
If you praised her in the same way when she’s milking the cow as you do when she baked cake, you will no doubt get a cow milker for life. Little girls respond extremely well to sweet praises. 😊
I agree with your son. I prefer outdoor chores to inside chores anyway. Can't wait to see those trees get big.
Watching Mr. Brown's participation this year is wonderful. His participation with you, and the older boys is reflective on how much a little bit of extra "Dad" attention makes on a young man.
Yes IIRC Justin's mom is an educator/school teacher - he definitely inherited her paedagogical talents: leading the _chiddlers_ to discover the wonder of the world at their feet while not shying away from the discipline of routine (homework, chores) needed to master it to benefit others!
Precious family life.
I love your kids and their work.
Think about adding a few ornamental "Snowdrift" crabapples as they are great pollinators for every apple tree!
Although they don't have fruit, their blossoms are very hardy with a Bloom time that typically overlaps all of the fruit bearing trees. The pollinators in your area will fly from the Crabapple blossoms and pollinate the other apple trees. Besides, the trees when they're more than five years old are one of the most beautiful blossoming trees that you can imagine. I have planted them in our Orchard and I swear we get at least 50% more yield since then. No, I don't sell these trees nor do I have any interest in them, but they have been really great for us.
so cool, your children are such a great help and i love how you let them just do it if they mess up it is a learning experience. love the gravity feed hose from the mountain free water possibly forever. Great episode.
How wonderful! 🎉 water from the mountain. I’ve watched Gideon since he was in diapers and of late he has really turned into a fantastic worker. He really understands his part in this incredible family dynamic. All the kids are so cool, great parenting!
I think Winnie deserves a yearly trip to the groomer. I think now would be a great time to start that lol
This is a great idea. She works hard and deserves it
Great idea, how about you start a fund
Would be a rough trip in the car🤣
@@emmz....ee
It's not a good idea to take a lgd off property and Pyrenees and Pyrenees mixes should keep their coats as protection against rain, sun, etc. It's also hard for lgds to trust anyone outside of their family so even the mobile groomer who used to take care of Teddy might have a hard time just bathing and brushing Winnie.
wonderful parenting! love those children...kind, sincere, hardworking, smart, not wasting time with video games...... Beautiful family!
Mr Brown is getting to be quite a farmer. He is so cute...and you guys are doing so well. Can't wait to see you new farm? Keep up the good work.
It's a pleasure watching how your family all work together to make your farm and to see how all the children help to care for little Henry.
Genius and hard work! The Rhodes Family ROCKS! 👏👍✨😍❗❗❗
Our kids used to climb in and clean out the water tank. It was 1999. We had 10 acres in Montana. Off grid. Propane heat and lights. We would run the generator to fill the water tank, water the garden, vacuum, and watch a vhs movie if there was time. Once the tank was full the generator was off. Quite the adventure with kids ages 11, 12, 14.
We just got a bunch of bareroot fruit trees for our orchard I love expanding the orchard. So excited for the future ❤❤❤
I bought my orchard from Trees of Antiquity. First batch three years ago. I just added more . Great company. Thanks for sharing your videos. 😊
Another good video. You go, Lilly. So proud of you. Way to go Rhodes Family! Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
My pups ran into a skunk. Wash them once in hydrogen peroxide and baking soda with a bit of dish soap. Worked great. 1 quart peroxide and 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 tsp dish soap
Poor dog! He was probably defending his territory, too! Protecting his homestead! What a hero!
Henry is so adorable. Lilly is an incredibly hard worker. Josiah has really stepped up to be your wing man. Mr. Brown has had his shoes plus pulls his weight when working with the family. Mr. Justin, you are very impatient at times, but you know what you want to do. All that energy. Love the Rebecca and Jonah working together. Good for every young man to know how to help around the house just like you do Mr. Justin. You have a wonderful family. Love how we see all of you growing as a family. Stay safe everyone. Take care! ❇❇❇
Hope Johna does well with his recovery.Henery keeps you all busy. Gideon has matured alot
Sorry that's johnia
Great to see you working with the kids and gently training them.
Good luck on your trees.
I just purchased 25 plum seedlings from Iowa DNR. Cost me about $1.50 each including shipping. I will plant some on our half acre, give some to immediate neighbors and some to a friend on a couple acres two miles away. They will be delivered mid April.
I'm not an expert on chickens but I can tell you are good with all kinds. Thank you for sharing,
I absolutely love Henry! He is growing up to be such a sweetie and it seems like he wants to help just like the big boys. I also love how great the older boys are with him. Its great that Mr Brown has a little buddy too!
Mr Brown sure seems like he has matured a couple years in just a couple months. Keep up the work young man.
Y’all are really getting it done! Great job!!!! ❤
Wow! Lilly 's cake looks amazing. She is quite a girl. Works as hard as the boys. Milks, handles sheep,chicken,and rabitts. And now baking beautiful cakes when she's barely tall enough to see over the counters.
Y’all need to rent an auger. Most people use them for fence posts but can knock out digging holes for trees in a blink of an eye.
Jonah, when I broke my saccrum, it was really hard to sit down. I eased into a chair so slowly. A year later, I could still feel it but was plopping down into chairs, so it does take time. That was 3 years ago. If I think about it, I can still feel that bone. Makes me wonder, do we just get used to the damages we do? It's true, when the barametric pressure changes, we feel that in old booboos. This is the Time in your life when your older self would say "if I had known about these aches n pains, I would have taken better care of myself". Take care! Love you all.
I really enjoy this Channel and I love the way your children always want to help you are raising them right
I couldn’t stop laughing at Gideon in the background, blowing his horn 😂 and Justin just casually saying “I guess the horns working” 😂
Right..? I’m still chuckling 😂😂 Having a younger sibling gives older ones such confidence, leadership and purpose 💜 Mr Brown you are an wonderful big brother! 💜
Josiah, you are awesome. And Gideon, you have been such a great help.
Lily you are a jack of all trades.
Well done guys and gals!
You can cut the line everywhere, you can also put your ear again to hear whether it is running!
Can't wait to see which variety does well in your soul. Going to be a very nice food forest! Thank you for sharing Rhodes!
Skunk spray removal
Boil pine needles and use the water to batter Winnie.
She won’t stink any more.
Seeing you raising and teaching your kids makes me envious. Am so busy trying to make money that I hardly make decent memories with my family.
You are blessed
Xxxxxx Dedicated family fathes .... xxxxx
My daughter is grown with children one of the greatest regrets of my life was working so much when she was young.
I pray that your able to make life changes soon that will allow you to be more present. 🙏
I was raised window shopping at the mall n going out to eat were bonding thankfully when my son came along it was bonding in the gym and taking the dogs to the great outdoors n hiking
Be kind to yourself. My dad worked 2 jobs. We never took a vacation. BUT he gave quality time and still great memories in some special times that I will always remember.
I felt the same way while raising my son alone but years later I heard the saying: YOU DO THE BEST YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AT THAT TIME…
Love all the fruit trees and berries. We had a 1 acre fruit orchard plus oranges, and a small row of grapes 🍇. We also had a garden about a 1/4 acre garden. I loved pulling up carrots and walking over to the dairy barn and washing them off and eating them. Fun, fun days. When apricots and figs were ripe, we had green and black figs, I would tell my dad when they were ripe and we would go stand out there and eat fruit until we were almost sick. Good times.
You have those times now with your kids every day and that makes me smile because it reminds me of my childhood and I'm old enough to be your mother, I'm a grandmother.
So proud for you and your children! Working together has lots of benefits today and for many tomorrows. Blessings.
Henry is so cute at the end laughing at the video short.
Bathe her in tomato juice- just go get multiple big bottles of it asap. Wet her down thoroughly and saturate her in that juice. It has to get all into her fur. Let it sit then rinse. Do this two or three times. She ll still smell but not nearly as strong. Maybe at that point give her a doggy spa day and let the professionals take care of it. This smell will stay on her for days and days if you don’t deal with it. I had a dog that chased every animal that came into our yard. Skunks were often those she chased and the tomato juice was only thing I found that worked enough so she could be around us without us gagging!!!! One night she chased a skunk. I was out there in the night dealing with that. Got her bathed and relatively dry. Made her a bed in a spare room where I could shut the door but she needed to go out to pee and don’t you know she got sprayed again!!!
😱
Oh man ! I enjoyed this one so so much. Thank you.
a good school project would be to have the kids draw a map of where on the property the trees were planted and which types are where and what berries are where.
HE GAVE US EVERYTHING WE NEED
Mr Rhodes,the thing I dislike most about your videos are when they stop....I watch them all the time,you have an Amazing family,may the Lord continue to bless you and your family.
Oh, how I wish my dad was still alive. I miss and love you, Daddy.😭
This was an epically amazing video, thank you :D God bless and protect you guys, and may your trees and bushes grow well.
What are you going to use that for?...A horn...His horn is working...
Justin is totally calm as his son is sawing a piece of PVC while using his leg as a work bench. I love it! My parents allowed us full access to tools and materials growing up. It led to some cool "inventions" and both male and female children being comfortable with tools.
Gideon found his love! Gardening. You can tell he loved planting the trees and blueberry bushes. He also enjoyed helping his mom gardening closer to the house. My husband said he is becoming a worker too, but I think he was enjoying planting. Great video. Keep up the great work Justin and family.
Those precious kids are such workers! Learning life time skills. I was helping to garden since before I was three. I’m 77 and still planting and gardening. I love it. It soothes my soul to this day!
Excellent! Planting all those fruit trees in your pastures and protecting them when they are young. You planted them so quickly with the help of the kids! I love the blueberries around the creek going into the pond. They love water but not to have their roots in water. Yay, raspberries and blackberries too! Nice, putting a pressure regulator in the pig water line! Lily, that cake is wonderful! I'm very impressed! That's great that you're setting up hoses to water the trees. So nice! Too bad you got worried that the water line was blocked but it was good to chase it down to see that your system is sound! It was great that Lily fit into the water tank to put the overflow pipe in. Thanks for this fun video Rhodes family. Good job Mr. Kanaris!
Is the storage unit temperature controlled? They get super hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. Would nervous storing canned goods/food in there
Lily you are a doll I admire you. milk cows take care of rabbits and animals. And ride horses. You are a county girl and pretty too
thank you for your innertube young man.
I love watching this family work. They are so eager and energetic, determined to be fruitful as well as earth-friendly. I am so glad to see Gideon sticking close to his papa, even though I'm sure it isn't all voluntary. Little Henry is a delightful toddler. I hope the new PT will be helpful to Jonah. Lily can bake a cake for me any day, as long as it is gluten-free. Their poor dog, did they get her cleaned up?
A Little tip. Soak those roots in a bucket of water and pot up in 5 gal buckets for a few months to get those roots well established before putting them out there in the field.
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is your family and the weather over there?
Good job keep it up thank you All
Hello from Georgia 🌄 So inspiring to get started 🌱🌱🌱
A lot of fun stuff to play and grown up with!
Such great progress over the years I've been watching your family,so glad I found you all!!
Mr Brown has grown so much since becoming a big brother :D
Tomato juice bath for Winnie!!!
What a great Dad. What a beautiful family
And the legacy continues to flourish! Well done my Brother!
I’d really love to see more of the planning behind this. How did you know about the frost line issue? And how did you figure out what needed to be planted where and with what pollinating trees nearby?
I am also curious about the frost lines... Especially being that I am only 30ish miles away and planting fruit trees this weekend
Yes, this
That chocolate cake looks like it came from a bakery!! Speaking from someone who used to make and sell wedding cakes.
Learning alot from you everyday.
Looking to our boys working with us on the property as your chittlins do in the upcoming years. I understand that time is important....and making sure the hole is the best size and depth is vital for the success of the tree(s). Cardboard as a ring around the tree covered with compost and then the woodchips mulch is ideal. You may want to consider a wire mesh ring around the trunk to combat wildlife could also be a benefit if time permits. Godspeed!
Lily is the coolest Rhodes
Good job!
Yesterday while working I was suddenly wondering why i didn't see anything from you guys for a longer time. For a second i was affraid something is wrong, because you had been sick back in the day.
Well, i realised i got a new Account, Problem solved. 😄
Happy to see everything is going fine over there.
Best regards from a german mini-Homesteader. 🤣
I am enjoying this channel so much!! I love to see how much Josiah is doing to help with all the spaces that Jonah can’t fill right now. Love this family ❤
Its amazing the problem solving you put into the farm and teaching the kids how to figure out stuff along the way. Great job everybody!
That rock feature really looks like a lot of fun too.
put your fruit trees in pasture the animals will dine on them . example was right in front of you with the trees with the pallets around them
You need to make yourselves ram pumps. Simple plumbing, with no electricity and you have the elevation. They will work a dream. The boys can make them as a project
Wash Winnie in 🍅 soup. As bad as it was for you, imagine how that poor pup is feeling.
When I saw the container I immediately wondered just how hot it would get in there at certain times of year. Hopefully all moved in before then.
You need to buy some of that stuff as seen on TV called Pooph! Evidently it even works on skunk smell.
How cool would it be to GPS/GIS map all the important things on your property like the fruit trees location and type and all of your water lines and where the valves and shutoffs are etc.
You have a wonderful family farm and I love your channel. ♥️
What a beautiful family day! 🌱
Justin use vinegar and water to get rid of skunk smell. It works better than tomato juice.
Lily, you making cakes...🤗🤗🤗
You're creating a food forest!! Love it. I wish I could. I'm on a tiny plot in suburbia. Hey, at least I'm working on a veggie garden
This is amazing!!
I am glad you were able to find where the water line was separated before the snakes are out and about!
