    Producing food has got to be the most honourable way a man can spend his time on this earth

    I haven't checked on you in a while. I'm so happy to see you are doing well. It is exciting that you are getting into new things like growing your own grains. Your sheep count is growing. We just had two of our goats give birth to five babies the last few days, and another one will be birthing anytime. She looks like there will be multiples, also. I actually had to help pull the first baby on the first birth, never have done that, so it was scary and exciting. Growing up on the farm, I never wanted to get involved, but now at seventy seven I did. Shortly after, we helped with the second baby thinking she was done, and then, another one came out really easy. Then a couple of days another mother had two all by herself. We are staying busy. So thankful we had a good garden harvest and preserved lots of veggies. My husband is eighty two so I think farm work is keeping us going. Take care and many blessings! Janice from Arkansas USA

    Hi Sil, I can imagine that the rain saves you loads of time watering. The whole place will now start going green again and you get your cooling of spot back in the stream. Peas and tomatoes are my favourite pickings, one for me and one for the basket lol. Peas are so nice straight off the plants 🤤❤️

    altijd mooi om te zien dan mensen onafhankelijk willen zijn. Het mooie wat ik ontdekt heb is dat mensen aan elkaar gegeven zijn om elkaar aan te vullen. Niet opdringerig en niet commercieel... maar gewoon omdat mensen gemaakt zijn voor elkaar! . . Neem je tijd om dat uit te vinden man en heel veel succes gewenst in jouw mooie en eerlijke zoektocht!

    I'm really looking forward to seeing how the grain goes. You have the right climate and the soil looks amazing. I like about 50km outside of Cape Town and I'm surrounded by wheat growing farms. I have also once had the chance to get flour from a historic watermill and the bread we made was amazing. 👍

      The peas won't work in all climates like that, here I can go that because we don't really get freezing cold days , just sometimes a slight frost in the early morning...and yeah I'm planning to do that making a stone floor and steps around the bathtub. But got so many projects lined up already 😅

      Thank you! And yeah good question. I need to make a fox proof system.
      I already had chickens and turkeys before, but they went missing 1by1, tried ducklings to but only 1 night and lost all 10. So soon will try and make a fox proof enclosure

    I would always grow maize/corn (not sweet corn) as a grain. It's much more drought resistant. Grows well in Africa. You need to grow a bunch together or they don't get pollinated the right way.

    • @leavingbabylonfamily
      @leavingbabylonfamily  2 дні тому +1

      Yes good idea, the only problem here with that is, that it attracts wild boar go your garden. So far I haven't had any issues with them. But there are many around. So kind a Want to keep them away from my garden

      @@leavingbabylonfamily makes sense. Native Americans plant a combination called the three sisters: maize, beans and squash (pumkin). The maize makes a stalk, the beans climb up on it and the big pumkin leaves are great ground cover underneath.

    • @joeeigo9820

      Maize isn't very suitable for the Mediterranean. Droughts are defined differently here.
      I tried multiple times in different locations and seasons and it never worked out properly.

    Hi Sil maybe there are more people out there that want to buy you a coffee or buy you something of your Amazon wishlist but don’t have a creditcard. So if it’s possible perhaps consider adding PayPal ? By the way where is your wishlist ? 🙋‍♀️🍀
