    I appreciate a man (and woman) who is not afraid of hard work and who finds the easiest and cheapest way to carry out his work projects. Kudos to both you and Hillary. Oh, I also appreciate a person who can laugh at himself. 👍🏻👍🏻

    Pete, you are that rare combination of human who actually employs the ability to reason, problem solve and take action. All the while remaining calm and kind.
    It’s what’s most lacking in the world today. Please carry on for many years.

    Pete, my wife made a great analogy to you and your channel last week: she said that you remind her of Fred Rogers. A calming influence, with common sense and enjoyment of the simplicity of life at the forefront. I can’t think of any better compliment that anyone could give. I think that’s why your videos are so popular.

    Keep up the good work!

    I love you, channel Pete and Hillary!! I love seeing the two of you working together on the farm. My mom and dad would the same way... if it was a job to do they shared it to get it done quicker.
    I agree with you. Also Pete on Keeping things simple. I think wisdom comes with aging and I know for myself I have definitely simplified my life in the last 15-20 years…. just for example when I had guests coming for a meal or weekend, everything had to be perfect and everything had to be beautiful and artistic on the table when I served the food and so forth. I realize at some point I was exhausting myself unnecessarily because everybody else was visiting and laughing, and I was cleaning up and working or getting ready for the next round. I don’t do that anymore. I might at Christmas time, but for the most part throughout the year, I keep my meals simple and I’ll tell you what, Pete I want you grilled those pork chops and less than 10 minutes and I’m thinking that’s how I should be food in a short amount of time. God bless you both and we’ll see you next time on a wonderful video… By the way, Pete, I love to laugh at your jokes…. Apollo - G.😀❣️😁

    I've found over the years that if I aerate the pasture once every four years it helps our fields tremendously with yields. Lime every third year. Multi mixture fertilizer once in a while. We add manure to our fields so we only use commercial just to even put our fields.

    I reckon there are more but we come across them in time or by heeding the wisdom from those trying to share the knowledge.

    I also have a favor fencing pliers.

    Hi Pete & Hilarie. Thanks for letting us hang with you on your farm.
    Dandelion greens are delicious! In my very young days Nonna would come to visit and we would walk down one side and back up the other side our country road picking dandelions. You have to get them before they flower. She was equipped with a long knife and my job was to carry the large bowl. She would circle the dandelion with her knife, pull it out, shake the soil off and toss it in the bowl. Once back home she washed them off outside with the garden hose. For dinner Nonna dressed the greens with a simple olive oil, vinegar and salt & pepper.
    When I tell people they can eat dandelion greens, they look at me very strangely. I use no chemicals on my lawn and love the greens. I’m wondering, isn’t dandelion wine made with the flowers?
    Thanks for sparking my childhood memory🥬🥗🙂
