We are not sure what’s happening and we are planning to “hopefully” update our editing software soon to maybe fix the problem! Thanks for y’all’s continued support!!
I found y’all recently & Y’all are one of the most genuine homestead channels!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Love seeing the progression.
Your garden is beautiful!
Scaling back before you completely burn out and give up is just smart! We are in this for the long haul.
My little finch birds love the sunflowers, and I have not heard any this year. They sound so happy when they are around.
I find that tomato cages work great for large pepper plants. The best support I've tried for tomatoes is the cattle panel. It works great! Thanks for sharing your beautiful, lush garden and homesteading experience ! I'm loving your videos!
Yall are such hard workers. It always motivates me. ❤
Those little yellow bird's have been getting my sunflowers also. 🌻 This is the first year I've noticed them.
Loved the stick for the spiderwebs!! 🤣
Love your videos! I watched your tomato canning recipe and gave me the courage to can my first batch this past weekend. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going when it comes to gardening and homesteading ❤
This made my day, this is why I make the videos to encourage folks, thank you for sharing that! ☺️
You can only do so much, maybe when the kids get older and take an interest, you could get more chickens. From what I’ve seen you all are busy all the time. Hugs, follow God’s lead. Blessings to you and yours ❤️🎚🕊🇺🇸🦋🌻
Beautiful garden, the yellow birds are wild Canary's, they love the sunflower seeds.
If this unGodly crazy world goes really bad youall are set up well !!! God Bless !!!
YOUR GARDEN LOOKS JUST LIKE MY GARDEN LOL JUNGLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding FAMILY!😇!😇!😇!😇
Cattle panels, 🍅 clips and t-posts for your 🍅 . Speaking from experience they work amazing
I love to watch your videos, I wish I was able to work like you do
Enjoyed watching guys. Y’all’s gardens look great. Yep, we’ve had to cut back on our animals as well because burnout is real. We are also gonna cut back on the variety of things we plant next year. Thanks for sharing.
They are a yellow finch. They eat massive amounts of black oil sunflower seeds. We keep bird feeders for them, however, if the feeders run out.....the sunflowers are next.
Hey Andy, I use cattle panels & a couple t posts for tomato trellises. You can use your cotton twine or hay twine or whatever to tie them up to it. For indeterminates , I will even use 8’ t posts and just raise the panel up a foot or so up off the ground for extra height.
Megan I remember last year when you cleaned all those chickens by yourself. That was a lot of work. But you got it done.
We stake in at the end of each row with a t post and run baling string in from one end to the other back crest crossing around each plant and pole it’s been a life saver in holding up tomatoes plants They reach up to 6-7 feet tall.just a helpful tip for next year.
Yellow finches are cool. Great looking garden.
Suspend a tarp under the house, undo it once a week and put it in a pile to mellow.
I make round tomatoes cages out of bendable cattle/pig woven wire panels. Tough enough.
We had a monsoon summer last year and the water just about washed away our garden, including our tomatoes. So this year we used metal fence posts to tie them up to. It's working so far.
I figure by the end of this summer us city folk will be going without eggs, the supply will be sparce. Same for buying chicken that is real and clean. God will give you wisdom on just what you should plan out for your flock. I can only dream of what one of those would look like and taste like. Yum yum yum.😊
I love it how you have the mentality of the old folks Andy. Making use of whatever you have available and being inventive with it!! Haha. Awesome!! And Megan you are very energetic. I would have a hard time keeping up with you atm!! Hopefully i can get back to my usual self. I used to be full of energy too!! ;)
One of the business concepts is don't look at sunk cost to keep you locked into a certain plan, like keeping the huge chicken wagon. Pivot to having one then two and so on as you can build and need the smaller J Rhoads/etc style coops. There are quite a few new improvements on those smaller moving coops by other channels. I like the A-frame ones with tarp roofs and flip down wheels plus chicken bumpers inside and externally accessed nesting boxes. Take a look. You can get a couple weeks of content on building and testing.
Y'all have such a beautiful place. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. My dad used to love growing those huge sunflowers, and always had a row in the garden. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Hoping you will sell some mountain pride seeds. I just love your gardens. I am in the Piedmont and I get cracked tomatoes too.
Enjoyed seeing your bounty ❤
Started using concrete wire and making my own tomato cages love them. Give it a try
Busy busy. I wish we could grow tomatoes like that
I like the brandywine tomatoes too, this year I tried empire tomatoes, they're really good producers, disease resistant, and mature early.
Have you heard of them?
This is a busy time of the year for gardening, but our efforts are rewarded,Thank the Lord for His blessings.
Thanks Friends and have a Good Evening 🙂.
I’ve never heard of those! Will have to check them out!
I'm enjoying catching up on yalls videos. Love the egg mobile yall make a great team. I lived in Kannapolis NC for a few years love the Carolinas. Yall are doing a lot of good stuff there. Yall take care
Sunflower seeds are healthy food as pumpkin seeds, I make breakfast with them.
Hay you'll for your tomatoes t post and cow panel's and tie your tomatoes to the cow panel's !!! Im a new subscriber love your channel country fokes just like me !!!
So intertaining. Megan, you need a kneeling pad for gardening. They are very cheap, and will really save your knees.
park the coop over the top of a tarp. the tires would hold the ends down to collect the manure.
I planted Mountain Pride tomatoes this year. I live in the southeast part of Va in Chesapeake
I hope they do well for you!

Can you put weed fabric( which hopefully wont kill the grass because of air flow) or a tarp ( which probably will kill the grass lol) underneath. Those things should last a long while to catch the mature.
I did river and for my tomatoes. It’s worked well with recommendation from by dad to do side bracing and end bracing it’s done well!
But I didn’t do string I used the cane as the trellis
❤️🙏✝️🌞
I run a Florida weave on my 2 100' rows and it has served me well. I work at a steel mill and use rebar for my post. But I also grow the maters and just let them lay on the ground in another area. But do know what you mean about those cages. Take care
Could you use a small tarp and when you move the coop, pick up the tarp to collect the droppings?? Maybe use a large trash can to transport it to where you need it, or a tractor.
that might work!
Glad i found your channel. New sub.
thank you!
♥️✝️🇺🇸
This is probably not the correct video to add this comment to, but the apple tree you lost suddenly was probably due to a vole eating the tap root to build a home underneath. I has the same happen with a gopher.
Hate tomato cages they do work on peppers
Do you pull off any suckers or just let them grow as they want?
Do you not prune your tomato plants?
We have a problem with our apple tree and birds! We never get to eat the apples, they’ve been pecked by the birds, any tips on how to fix it?
My husband just added, squirrels too!
Oh my thats something we've never really had a problem with! Im not sure what would keep away a bird
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays the blue jays are the aggressive ones. Some squirrels and, almost wonder if they get some bad spots with bugs, then the other critters dig in.
thats a very good possibility
Is there enough room under the floor of the chicken mobile and the ground to build a sort of shelf the length and width of the mobile while still giving the chickens enough room to hide under from hawks. I was wondering if you could collect the poop on a tarp set on the shelf you create. Every day or two (depending on how often and how much the chickens poop) you could slide the tarp out and add the collection to your compost pile.
Whenever you get discouraged just remember why Jesus is into extreme couponing
Cause Jesus saves
May God bless you and keep you
Good idea!
