    I have loved your 'every day' vids! Fun to get a glimpse of your lives and learn along the way. Rest up a bit and come back refreshed and ready to share again. Your family is the picture of homesteading that is in my mind. Even with the ups and downs and distractions along the way... it is REAL!!! Thank you.

    Thank you for your daily videos. They are wonderful for some of us that crave your venue. I did put some seeds in soil and under grow lights in my laundry room. I’m 83 this year, I wonder as I find more and more tightened muscles that don’t want to work, how will this garden go this year. My son is still caring for my small flock of chickens. He doesn’t want me walking ( or stumbling) down the hill through the icy snow drifts of Minnesota winters. I used to do it, up ti maybe about three years ago. I watch from a window now on days when the snow has gone and he lets them out for awhile, they do not have a fenced area. We plan( actually he) will be putting up fencing this year. The predators finally found our yard. Lost a lot to them last year. Oh my I’ve been rambling, I can’t thank you folks enough as I watch and dream of my years with kids, gardening,canning,and just living it like you now. You are precious to me.

    Your daily chores reminded me when I was young when I had a chance to visit our farm every week. I always remember how hungry I got after working(playing) in the fields from sun up to sun down. Feeding the farm animals was especially enjoyable when they gobbled up everything I gave them. Love those lights in the yard. If you want to try it in one area putting a thick tarp or sheets of covering on your garden bed during the off season. I think part of the problem is the rain that compacts your soil. Just a guess.

My daughter and her husband make a garden each year. We can and freeze our vegetables. My 15 yr old grandson has chickens and sells his eggs that we don’t eat and freeze.

    I love the near-daily, duh, but filming daily to release 3 or 4 times a week might make it less stressful.
    Although like most of the comments crew will tell you I'm sure, I don't care what you share garden, fix a truck, make dinner, play guitar and watch the stars I will watch because Y'all are my favorite UA-cam channel.
