One morning, I dug a nice row of potatoes. The next day, they started rotting, from being cooked/burned/blistered, from the sun! Soooo sad😢 But yes, they do need time to dry, before storing. And yes, not too long, or they start turning green. Live and learn.
Hi Mr. Rhodes. I'd like to talk to you about your glass cut on your arm. I was an avid blood donor. The nurses there told me of a product called Bacitracin to apply to the wound to prevent infection. Once the wound is cleaned, apply the Bacitracin and cover with a bandage. Leave the wound covered for 3 to 5 days and you'd be shocked how well it works. I used to use Neosporin but the results don't compare to Bacitracin. God bless you guys.
On cuts that could pull apart, I use any fresh aloe gel from the garden(it is sterile there inside the leaf) a few drops, with a drop of honey and a drop of olive oil. Now you'll be surprised. The antimicrobial and astringent qualities disinfect, pull the cut together for minimal scarring, and it promotes cell growth.
If it was my farm I would make permanent fencing. Put a gate in a corner of each paddock. No more animals escaping and a lot less work each day. So much time spent every day moving fencing as it is now.
The hive with all the bees outside isn’t swarming. That’s called bearding and they do it when they’re hot. Update. I after I typed this you said you bee mentor told you the same.
@@catlinraycraft6922 maybe not be sarcastic EVER! Maybe since there’s no official rules on when to comment you can just keep your comment to yourself. Praying for you be blessed.
Thank you for showing us the reality of homesteading. I know you could choose otherwise but your honesty helps me not to get discouraged when things don’t go as planned in my garden or chicken coop. Your children are strong and independent and you’re a great Papa!
Have you thought about permanently fencing and cross fencing with gates to rotate through? That is the way we even keep our goats in, cows would be a snap. It prevents over grazing any one area and it also keeps coyotes and stray dogs out!
@farmchick1464 But then what would they film? Just opening and closing a gate? Far too simple, especially when the portable fencing company may be a sponsor. It is interesting, though, to see them struggle weekly with one animal or the other when the fix you suggest would solve the whole issue permanently. They've definitely thought of it because it's been mentioned here many times before. And they have given it a definite NO.
Loved seeing the footage of the kids helping when they were young - bring them up in the way they should go. Those summer colds seem to be tough this year here in NC . Rest is probably the best help. Don't let the naysayers get you down.
OMG! Rebecca is still in the bed. Maybe she should seek a doctor and stop relying on internet for her health. She’s always sick. Those poor children having to do inside chores as well as outside chores all the time.
Your children are an awesome tribute to your homestead. Your two oldest are now young men who know what needs to be done before you tell them! Maybe, start letting them do more of how they want to do things without interrupting them, if they fail, just be there to say, "let's try this." Great video!
As someone who grew up with cattle, chickens, and working around horses...a lot of time is being wasted here running after escaped animals. Clearly this fencing situation isn't working out. While permanent fencing isn't the desired concept, it seems like it's time.
I remember our pediatrician told us not to be concerned what a young child eats in a day but what they eat in a week and to offer a variety of foods to choose from. He just might not be actively growing right now!
Happy Day, Rhodes family..❤ My Brion didn't eat at that age. The pediatrician said he would be fine. He survived on cottage cheese, refried beans & cheese.. Lil' kids are funny, little creatures..😅❤❤❤ You're a lucky man to have such smart, willing, and Active children❤ 🕊🩷🙋🏼♀️🐈🐕✨️ It's been hot here on the Oregon Coast, which is unusual...80° to us is like 100° to you.. We had wind, and it was still Hella Hot...to us poor souls that aren't used to it...🔥✨️
I seriously don’t understand why your children don’t have cellphones, so you can call them when you need them instead of shouting your head off 😮😮😮 If you are worried about them spending time on discuss media, get the phone without internet access. If something’s happens while they are out in the woods or what ever, they can call for help .
I love watching these vlogs. I watch every one when they come out. Could the inserted comments be slowed down though. They go by so fast I have to rewind every time and pause to read them. I’m a fast reader, but not that fast. Thanks Austin! 😊
It's odd hearing that Johnna Just took off. Had to run to TSC... Either the heat is getting to the boys, or they are at the age of I'll do it, but would rather do something else. Well gone on the snack you guys. Hope you enjoyed your evening.
Rotational grazing can work with permanent fencing. I do it. I have gates between fields. No animals get out, no running to and fro going crazy chasing animals. But then there would be not drama and frustration. The definition of stupid comes to mind, doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result. If you have the equipment to punch in posts make a secure fence and get rid of the chaos.
I have just one horizontal bee hive. I dont take but quart at a time until I have done a gal for the yr. When they swarm I just let them go. The most important thing to me for my bees is that they pollinate my tress and garden. Since i have gotten it the bee pop AROUND HERE HAS GONE UP A LOT. I just wish the other farmers would stop using pesistied b/c for every 10 bees I got out there they kill 5.

Great video guys. Great job Becky go to dr. Please
to help relieve the heat from the boxes you could have a screened bottom board alos a screened top board and place just a little twig under cover on one side. bees are a learning curve. I sprinkle DE under my hive I think it helps with hive beetles and ants
I never had the chance to stay in bed when I was sick. The kids came first, get up, woman, it's only a cold as you said. Your family needs your help. My heart goes out to poor Lily. She is constantly in that kitchen, not good for a child that young.
As a single mon, staying in bed when sick was never an option 😂I was doing all they things with pneumonia , severe asthma attacks that sendt me away with an ambulance, straight home the next day and right back to it. I have endometrioses and pcos , I’ve lost so much blood that I had to have several revisions every year. And cysts removed regularely. I have several autoimmune diseases that causes my skin to blister and bleed when move or do simple things. I have hashimodos and I had to get iron infusions at least every three month. B 12 shots every 6 week. Chronic pain syndrome , nerve damage after a botched surgery and several more ailments . Those autoimmune diseases are so bad that I had to be put in chemo .. Staying in bed, was never a possibility though . I would never have put that responsibility on my kids. It was was bad enough to handle the mental and emotional agony of having a sick parent ..
I think Rebekah is the one who is homeschooling the kids, and that would be a lot of work. Also, she has other duties and tasks she looks after. I'm sure we don't see everything she does.
I think Josiah is really beginning to resent the camera in his face. He's a maturing young man and is gaining his autonomy now and wants his privacy. Perhaps as the children become older and are naturally wanting their own space they should get to decide if they wish to remain in the public eye or not.
i always put broken glass in pet food bags bc it usually doesn't go thru them. Hope this is helpful. I love to keep up with your Homestead videos. I'm wondering if it's possible Jonah is having damp heat issues bc you can see he is being so effected by the heat wave that has hit all of us so hard. So acupuncture will help so much & herbs along with the needles.
i saw a guy show me the other day how to take the bitterness out of an over sized cumber. U cot off the vine end so that u have a large enough chuck to hold on to. Then take that end and rub the cut end of the cuke with it. White stuff will begin to come out. Do this for a few min and u have an very good over sized cuke. That white stuff that comes out is what makes the cuke bitter.
When I was a lot younger I worked for my uncle’s trash disposal company and one day I picked up a garbage bag and threw it in the truck and it had broken glass in it and it cut a nice slice into my arm and I still have the scar so don’t put broken glass in the plastic bag
I’ve never seen a family that takes so much natural vitamins and other drugs that is so sick all the time. Why don’t you stop taking all the stuff and letting the body develop its own natural immunity system.
ya'll need radios like cops where everyone wears one and it relays all info to everyones radios on the same frequency. that way you dont have to yell from the house and hope they heard you...say it over the radio and save your voices then theres no way anyone can say they didnt hear you if they have their radio on them. Just remember to charge them every night and grab them in the mornings. Some have miles for ranges, but there are some cheaper ones for lower range too.
once ur tomatoes come in u need to start making gazpacho. Where I live most ppl cant get there tomatoes ready to pick until will into Aug. Me I have paste tomatoes that will be ready in about a week. i started them the middle of Feb to do this. My Martha Washington's have just begun to put on fruit so by the middle of aug at latest I will have them. Brandywines are about a week behind MW.
Have you ever considered walkie-talkies you just have to clip it to your waist 🤣🤣🤣 put a charging station by the front door and the three oldest can remember that but can you Justin.😂
Had a lot of medical ppl in my family; soap and water for the win every day on a fresh wound to prevent infection. Sometimes orange mercurochrome for that extra antiseptic sting. That’s how you know it’s working . 😂
JUSTIN watch this video and i hope you hear how BOSSY you are, those boys are fed up of you barking at them. Its as easy for you to do it instead of standing barking.. lets the kids have a full day off
They will repel…..no time for personal space or teenage life. Can you imagine? No hanging out with friends on a hot summer night . Nothing. But work. Crime really Moderation is the key. Hire some help and stop buying so much stuff and pay for the help
If you try to dry potatoes in the sun they turn green...hope you put them in a dry, dark place.

I'm starting to suspect the *solanin* found in *nightshades* in the *Solanum* genus wasn't just named randomly.
Yup, and green potatoes are poisonous.
One morning, I dug a nice row of potatoes.
The next day, they started rotting, from being cooked/burned/blistered, from the sun! Soooo sad😢
But yes, they do need time to dry, before storing. And yes, not too long, or they start turning green.
Live and learn.
Not swarming, bearding. They're hot.
Yes
yeah I think that's called "bearding" when it's hot
That's what I was going to comment. 😊
Walkie Talkie’s would save your voice Justin and the boys could hear you.
At one point they had some but I suspect they ended up in a random box when the family moved out of the holler house
came here to say this
@@4BWVan Sounds like a job for Baofengs
I always dug potatoes and let dry in shade because sunlight turned potato skin green which is poisonous to eat
always put glass broken up in a paper bag!!! or a box that says broken glass. Learned my lesson...
Yes! Just common sense.

Motor oil is better 😉🤣

I would think: don't put broken glass in a plastic bag.. 😊
That's an antibiotic.
Coconut oil or Lavender essential oil better no chemicals and yes I am a nurse.
If it was my farm I would make permanent fencing. Put a gate in a corner of each paddock. No more animals escaping and a lot less work each day. So much time spent every day moving fencing as it is now.

Wonderful job great video also 👍❤
@Justin Get some walkie talkies. One for the house, one for each kid. Shouting ineffective. Blessings.
Don't dry potatoes in sun, they will turn green, then they're no good,
Put potatoes in dark, dry space so they won't sunburn.
