Brenda, Your garden looks great. How about you taking the ATV out to the cabin pond & showing us how your spring transplanting went. Let's have a look. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️
Lady is a beautifully put together mare and June replicates this along with the added structure her father contributes. Congratulations on lady’s future.
It certainly must be nice to have that many horses available and also raise the supply of the future. The most horses I ever had at one time was six. Lady is a really successful brood mare, judging by her offspring.
Brenda your Flowers are most beautiful...talk about the English Garden look..you got it goin on. I love fresh flowers in my house all the time..and when there is not flowers I cut me some pine or just anything green to have in the house. That June did not want to be stalled back up..she was being very curious of everything. I miss seeing more of Bree..she is gorgeous to me with that blond . lov from south alabama.
We wished Lady a beautiful foal in good health,always nice watching your video,this one is very special,Brenda you have a beautiful garden love the garden with flowers in it. A huge kiss to Bree and her beautiful little sister June. Take care.!
Congratulations on Lady being pregnant 🎉🎉 June is big and changing colors. Very smart girl. Skippy is doing listening to you Brenda. I noticed he saw a car coming and waiting to see if it was one of the girls coming to visit. Smart dog. Garden is beautiful Brenda. God bless you both Jim and Brenda 🙏❤❤
Jim has such a gift with horses. It’s so beautiful to watch him work with his horses, whether it’s targeted training sessions, or day to day working them on the farm. The horses trust Jim and understand their job. Such a great example of common sense horse training that definitely works! Horse trainers from all disciplines should spend some time with Jim.
Baron is sure backing up good. I remember him throwing a 'baby fit' because he didn't want to back up when he was just starting out. He has broke out very good. Good horses
Congratulations on Lady's pregnancy! She looks at the best of her health and will have a very healthy foal next year! If she produces another filly, then you know she's a filly producer lol! Brenda, I hope Pansy will feel better with antibiotics and a good break from milking. Glad Jim said to heck with it and milked her by machine lol.
Jim and Brenda, June being less than 2 months old is doing extremely well with her preliminary training . Leading a filly at that age onto scales without her mother at her side is incredible ,June is a beautiful filly., You're right Jim Lady being an aged mare having her second foal ,she would have more milk this foaling. Great news on Lady being in foal again.
Glad to hear Lady is not pregnant with twins. I was also concerned last year when you didn’t have her checked for twins and I was glad when only June popped out! It will be interesting to see what the new foal looks like with a different daddy.
Wonderful!! Lady is such a beautiful horse. Congrats to you both! June & Bree are beautiful like their mommy and seeing their maturity as each time you show them. Brenda, your garden is so nice and love your little greenhouse William made you. Very talented young man 😊
What a lovely job you have done with Lil June so far Jim and Brenda. She leads so well, respectful of your space, and sensitive - as we saw! What a calm but smart little filly. Congratulations on Lady's 2.2! So exciting! 🥳🥳
I totally agree with you Jim about the horse pulls. Fewer and fewer people are pulling horses. The crowds are smaller and smaller as well. I am going back 40 yrs ago when my grandfather and I had a Shetland team and competed with them out here in Idaho and Utah. The crowds were bigger and people really got into them. By the way I am so impressed with the way Baron and Bill pull as a team and not try to out do one and another. As my grandpa would say they shoulder to shoulder rather than seesaw. I enjoy watching you with your horses and how you get along with them. You remind me a lot of my grandfather and how he was with a team. Thank you so much for sharing your life with horses with all of us
Yeah I also remember local county fairs and the state fair had big turnout about 20-25 years ago. I was an equestrian girl and liked to watch the Percherons and the Belgians. I never participated in the pulls but a local couple in Quilcene WA taught me how to drive a team. They had big black percherons and they did driving shows and pulls. Mostly they did 4 and 6 horses to the wagons. It was so much fun to tag along and get them all show ready. And their horses were so well trained that you could call them from the field right into the barn and they would go into their standing stalls, and they would load themselves into the trailer for events. They were seriously cool horses, I love Appaloosas but I also have a soft spot for draft horses.
I think it is the economy and social status. Many of the horse shows around here are getting smaller. Not cheap keeping horses nor the veterinarian or feed bills which contribute some of the problems people are not doing horses like we used to back in the heydays.
Brenda I think those beans ...at least once canned...are called Italian beans. I've been trying to find some. Walmart doesn't have them. One of your fans here says they may be called Roma's. That would fit. There's a You-tube cook that serves them quite a lot I think she's a southern gal. Maybe they're more of a southern bean. They look delicious.
I put in 34 tomatoes, too many for my wife and I. I have 14 Roma that we can. I also put I about forty feet of Roma beans, we’ve already frozen 6 gallons and working on the next gallon bushel as we speak. Those beans of yours look like what we have. I have a second row of blue lake that we are canning as we go. We’re pulling corn that I helped my grandson raise about 20 miles away. We’ve sold about 300 dozen so far, and still have 2 more fields to go. I love going to the farmers market with whatever we have left at the end of the week. It also gives me an outlet to sell my extra eggs. I’m getting about 8-9 dozen a week. Thank You for helping me with tips this year.
June seems very calm. Which is standing on the scale she just stood there like a little trooper. Good happy for you guys. Congratulations on her pregnancy
I love fresh green beans with new potatoes, onions and ham or bacon cooked together. So good as a meal or a side dish. And with the leftover juices, I freeze it and use it for soup later.
Enjoying the visit with June (Miss Sassy-pants), Lady (Big Mama), and the chicken in the barn. Jealous of your beans, Brenda. My first crop of beans was a dud; but I'll try a second seeding. Question for Jim: At what age will you start teaching Bree and June the command words (gee, haw, whoa, etc.)?
Squash blossom petals as well as sunflower petals (not the centers) are a healthy snack. And all those leaves are excellent dehydrated and use for making tea. I am with a local farmers market and sell winter and summer squash blossoms as a snack food in little packages. Thank you. Good garden full of tea leaves and snack blossoms! Beautiful horses! Springis
We have really battled the bugs and worms this year here in central Ohio. This year we transitioned to raised beds on solid landscape fabric and have traded weeds for bugs and other pests but some things have done well. Never thought I would live to see the day we could not grow enough squash. Thanks Brenda.
Great video, little bit of everything. June is nice looking. Seems a little bit more reactive than Bree. Brenda, your garden looks so nice and I know the work that goes into it. The flowers are so pretty. You even got Skip harassing the cats. Thank you. Sorry Pansy is not doing so good.
Hi. Brenda And Jim congrats on lady being in foal again ❤always so happy to spend time with you both, hope your milk cow is going to be ok !! ! Omg my tomatoes are coming on now lots this year cucumbers went crazy to lol but so good ..waiting on my watermelons now lol !!!love your garden !!!
Yeah Mama Lady!!!!! Happy she's going to be a mama again! And that Belgian stud was a handsome feller too! Lady is an excellent mother. So can we expect a foal next August having been bred in July (isn't gestation 11 months for equine?)? It's always good to see the B Team working together! They are the Blue Ribbon Boys!!!! I was so proud of them placing 1st at the horse pull! Poor little Pansy, I hope she can start putting on some weight by giving her a break from milking. And hope her foot rot heals quickly. Fingers crossed she has bred with your bull (or will breed).
Brenda your garden is beautiful and I love your flower garden.our vegetables are coming slowly,we had a slow start because the weather was cold in the spring so we were late planting. Don’t have a big garden planted,just enough for ourselves and some to give out to family and friends.
Really nice vidios . June is a fine filly . I miss Brei . congratulations on the breeding hope it all goes well . The flowers 🌺🌹 on the road are beautiful. Miss that on a country road . Your garden is wonderful. I could plant one just as well we are burning up and very very dry in salt lake city Utah . Thankyou for sharing your country horse life .
Romano bean. One of my favorites and your right they produce prolifically. Try them sautéed with either scallion or onions and bacon. Yummers! Your garden looks lovely and the zinnias beautiful!
You have gorgeous flowers this year, Brenda, and although you don't seem quite as pleased with the appearance of the veg garden, it's good that it's producing well. Congrats on Lady's pregnancy.
So, the last two six-foot pulls in Deerfield NH the guy from Pennsylvania was the winner. We have a full crowd but they ant all horse people so it is noisy. I drive by Dergin most every day and see his young team Standing in the wee hours of the morning hitched to a few chunks of concrete. His trailer is hooked to his ford dually constantly. These days. I love to see your win
lady is so beautiful and she's a beautiful horse and june is adorable and i ham happy lady is pregnant again i cant wait for her foal x my name is wendy from the uk xxx
Brenda your garden is wonderful and all those gorgeous flowers is an eye catcher so beautiful ❤ l think Lady may have a colt this time,June is built like a tank for her young age,both fillys are so beautiful though.All the very best dear friends.
The barn looks really nice! June is so sweet! I love how her mane stands up!! Do you still have the pig? (In the barn or...) Well!! 😂 June likes her freedom!! 😂 I pray all goes well with Lady. She's such a good mama! It'll be exciting!! 😁 Some fresh green beans sound so good right now!! Your garden is lush. Thanks for that explanation about the horse pull! Poor Pansy. I hope she's OK. 💕
I'm so excited for a new foal next year! This one will be a bit different in color? But I'm sure Lady and the new stud will make a beauty! Maybe a colt this time.❤ I Love the garden Brenda! It always blesses me to see what's growing there. I've struggled with one mole that's alluded me. He uprooted my poor plants many times and stunted them. No expectations here but have managed zucchini and a few cucumbers. Your grandsons were sweet to see in the last video. They take priority. Weeds can wait!!! You've got it right! 🎉 Blessings 💞
I have 6 sisters and a brother and every time my dad was upset at one of us he would get flustered and run through every wrong name before getting to the kid he wanted to talk to lol. He started giving us numbers instead of calling us by our names when I was in my teens because he already had some grand babies by then and it was just too much to remember lol
Best wishes for Pansy! Sad to hear she's losing weight, that's not good. She wasn't in the best condition when you got her, you had to teach her how to eat grass. It may be a long road to health, but I hope she gets there.
God designed the horse to foal every year. The foal is carried slung in a hammock, and mothering is just a whicker. What is the problem? It is Jim and Brenda with all the extra work and expenses.
Hi Jim & Brenda, Great to see the young Foal developing well, regarding the beans that Brenda was not sure of the name of, we call them Runner Beans here in the UK. Hope that helps.
Your garden looks it’s going Really Nice!!! Don’t worry about how it looks-it doesn’t have to resemble Better Himes & Gardens, lol... Besides-it’s nature’s Imperfections that make it Perfect!!! God Bless, 😇 🙏🏻
Brenda, I loved your garden tour! Years ago when I kept a big garden, I chose to split it and have flowers on one half. I never thought about mixing them together.❤ I must say the flower side brought pure enjoyment, though vedge IS pretty too😉
June is a gorgeous-looking little girl for a two-month-old, it will be very interesting to see her grow and compare her to Bree and see how they both get along working together.
Forgot to mention that Juney's seems to be growing like a weed, impressive! You should go through Bree's records from last year. Since you mentioned Juney's noticeble growth, that makes me feel better as I was thinking it was in all in my amagination. Vici 🤣
They look like pole beens. There are a couple of varieties (blue lake and Kentucky wonder). I love them. I put them in the pressure cooker with a little bacon grease and water. If you have any fat back use it for seasoning. Yummy!
Re Bree and June, I'd say the grain is building her up. In 2017 we had a drought foal, always feeding her and her dam. She grew up big and strong. Then when it finally rained properly, she fattened almost overnight. She became what we call a "good doer", an "easy keeper", with a hearty appetite and never lost weight. I think hard feed regularly must stretch the stomach, which of course is always hungry. I could see from the start that June is brighter, smarter, chunkier than Bree, and it shows in her eyes, which bug more, she has better rear vision, which gives them more confidence. They are both beautiful, and nicely matched, but June is the pick of the pair.
Horse pulls aren't as popular as they were some 40 + years ago. I can remember some pulls that were overrun with farmers wanting to compete in pulls. Sometimes they wouldn't get in because of the number of competitors trying to get in. I wish that many pus would operate on the same format used back in the day. That's why I love seeing the videos of pulls you go to because of the same format used back when I was a youngun(35 year od LOL)
Pansy might have hardware in her stomach,you could put a magnet down her . I can remember we had milk cow that had hardware in her and the magnet helped her
I wonder if Pansy lost weight because her previous diet was more concentrated TMR and pellets at the dairy and the switch to eating grass hasn't agreed with her gut microbiome. Maybe she needs to eat some of the fermented hay with some grain and/or pellets. Just a thought.
Jim, have you tried feed-thru for worms, or the little wasps that lay their eggs in worms? Flies and worms kind of go hand in hand, reducing one should help reduce the other. Especially for Bill, he already runs lean, the wear and tear of worms isn't ideal for his system.
Brenda, Your garden looks great. How about you taking the ATV out to the cabin pond & showing us how your spring transplanting went. Let's have a look. Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️
It's great news that Lady is bred. I was just wondering if it just me or do others find the sound of horse's hooves relaxing/soothing as they walk?
Lady is a beautifully put together mare and June replicates this along with the added structure her father contributes. Congratulations on lady’s future.
Congrats on lady June is lovely but my favourite part was hearing Baron walking on the road
It certainly must be nice to have that many horses available and also raise the supply of the future. The most horses I ever had at one time was six. Lady is a really successful brood mare, judging by her offspring.

thanks for telling us about Pansy...I was going to ask about her. God Bless Pansy.
Hopefully, it is just the heat, and she will feel like eating more when it cools off some. Jersey cows always look puny to me. Prayers for everyone.
I love fresh green beans with new potatoes, onions and ham or bacon cooked together. So good as a meal or a side dish. And with the leftover juices, I freeze it and use it for soup later.
I find June has the cutest croup... it's a lovely little rear end.😆

I hope Lady has a boy this time. Technology is wonderful I just saw my first grand child at 8 weeks.
Yippee ... Lady is in foal! June is adorable and so smart
Great news for Lady , your flowers are beautiful.

June thought she was going to have another fun school lesson and didn't want to go back to their stall!
The garden is good with lots of produce great new about Lady she's a fine horse she's in good hands thanks.
Thanks for the tour in your really nice garden.

Thanks for that explanation about the horse pull!
Poor Pansy. I hope she's OK. 💕

Jim has the same problem that all of us parents have,.....trying to remember all your kids names (human and animals).
Makes me think about my grandfather, all excited in a house of kids, he’d ramble off a whole list of wrong names before he’d get the right kid’s name.
I have 6 sisters and a brother and every time my dad was upset at one of us he would get flustered and run through every wrong name before getting to the kid he wanted to talk to lol. He started giving us numbers instead of calling us by our names when I was in my teens because he already had some grand babies by then and it was just too much to remember lol
Love your garden!
Good new on lady be pregnant. Brenda your garden is the same with me for growing good year . I’m more luck 🍀 about the rain 🌧 here in the 709 . 😊
Best wishes for Pansy! Sad to hear she's losing weight, that's not good. She wasn't in the best condition when you got her, you had to teach her how to eat grass. It may be a long road to health, but I hope she gets there.
😊Love your farm…❤❤❤
good see the new ones ..poor lady need a break 3 babys back to back ..lady putting in work
God designed the horse to foal every year. The foal is carried slung in a hammock, and mothering is just a whicker. What is the problem? It is Jim and Brenda with all the extra work and expenses.
June has a great personality, just love❤her. You guys are doing an amazing job with your farm and channel!
Brenda I think your garden looks great! My tomatoes aren't producing or growing here in CA, it's been so hot🥵
I love your garden!
prayers that everything goes well with Lady's 3rd pregancy
Hi Jim & Brenda, Great to see the young Foal developing well, regarding the beans that Brenda was not sure of the name of, we call them Runner Beans here in the UK. Hope that helps.
I’m the SC we call them pole green beans.
Your garden is so pretty !
Your garden looks it’s going Really Nice!!!
Don’t worry about how it looks-it doesn’t
have to resemble Better Himes & Gardens, lol...
Besides-it’s nature’s Imperfections that make
it Perfect!!!
God Bless,
😇
🙏🏻
Brenda, I loved your garden tour! Years ago when I kept a big garden, I chose to split it and have flowers on one half.
I never thought about mixing them together.❤ I must say the flower side brought pure enjoyment, though vedge IS pretty too😉
June is so beautiful, How is Bree doing?
Down here we're just getting corn in our stores. ROCHESTER
Great job Brenda garden looks great 👍
June is a gorgeous-looking little girl for a two-month-old, it will be very interesting to see her grow and compare her to Bree and see how they both get along working together.
Jim we still have a few pulls in pa Harrisburg Farm Show and lots of fairs
🧐liked info Lady breeding twin foal situation etc , garden nice produce regardless of weeds 🤭, hopefully cow concern works out 👍👋
When I was growing up we had large gardens. Part of my job was to hoe the weeds because we didn't have a cultivator.
Dam someone is working overtime 😊
Forgot to mention that Juney's seems to be growing like a weed, impressive! You should go through Bree's records from last year. Since you mentioned Juney's noticeble growth, that makes me feel better as I was thinking it was in all in my amagination.
Vici
🤣
Such a cutie pie,
June is a big girl and looks like Barron. Brenda your flowers are beautiful.
They look like pole beens. There are a couple of varieties (blue lake and Kentucky wonder). I love them. I put them in the pressure cooker with a little bacon grease and water. If you have any fat back use it for seasoning. Yummy!
The garden looks great. Weeds are just a part of gardening, though not the most fun part for sure.

Horses & foal look great. Do you think pansy has hardware? Our milk cows would occasionally eat a tiny piece of metal.
Horse pulls aren't as popular as they were some 40 + years ago. I can remember some pulls that were overrun with farmers wanting to compete in pulls. Sometimes they wouldn't get in because of the number of competitors trying to get in. I wish that many pus would operate on the same format used back in the day. That's why I love seeing the videos of pulls you go to because of the same format used back when I was a youngun(35 year od LOL)
Happy for Lady's news. Who is Lady's newest Baby Daddy?
He is a Belgian ...from a farm close by ....you can see him in a past video
They actually showed a picture of him in one of their past videos
Pansy might have hardware in her stomach,you could put a magnet down her . I can remember we had milk cow that had hardware in her and the magnet helped her
Darn racoons and sweet corn . How do those critters know when the corn is ready for picking . Usually the day before I think the corn is ready .😊😊😊
Would you ever rehab the full barn? Paint / fix etc?? I just think it'd be such a fun project
June, the true explorer 😅
It's a poor garden that won't grow weeds. Your garden is just fine. I never knew coleus was an outdoor flower!
Maybe Lady will have a boy this time. 🐎
I wonder if Pansy lost weight because her previous diet was more concentrated TMR and pellets at the dairy and the switch to eating grass hasn't agreed with her gut microbiome. Maybe she needs to eat some of the fermented hay with some grain and/or pellets. Just a thought.
Jim, have you tried feed-thru for worms, or the little wasps that lay their eggs in worms? Flies and worms kind of go hand in hand, reducing one should help reduce the other. Especially for Bill, he already runs lean, the wear and tear of worms isn't ideal for his system.
