Love the relationship you have with Houston-it’s obvious that you adore him -also obvious he adores you.
I have a 21-year-old autistic son making soil blocks would be a fun thing for him to do. Typically we are buying them
👍
Greenville Lines, that's cool! I have a nephew with asperger syndrome etc., and when he's into doing something, there's no stopping him! I hope he has fun building the blocks, planting and growing whatever he grows. 🧓
@@cliffords.8341 that's awesome
So awesome you guys are able to grow watermelon!! Nice job Houston!
We recently started to turn our channel into a Homestead channel thanks to you and keeping it dutch we are also working on a garden and Aquaponics! God bless y’all!
Good job Houston!!! But what about carrots, we all know u love carrots. Also Daniel, great shout to FFA, being involved in FFA got me a full ride scholarship to a top veterinary university. It not only teaches you about animal husbandry and food crops, it also teaches you about business; sales/marketing AND public speaking and leadership. I highly recommend it And 4H to all children who live in farm and rural settings. Fun fact FFA & 4H and Boy and Girl Scouts only 4 youth programs recognized and endorsed by Congress, with it’s Top Achievers Awarded in Washington D.C congressional floor each year!!!! I can say would not have achieved all that I have achieved in life without the education FFA & Boy Scouts provided.
I was the Daddy's girl and sidekick of my Grandpa like Hustion is with you...my Dad worked a lot but always spent free time helping me with animals, plants, algebra, calculus and geometry... mom was a teacher she did English, spelling, writing ect...
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 you knew what was ment, at least l don't knit pick and try to correct others, l am 70 with a 44 yr old son, 22 grandson, and 26 yr old surprise daughter...l have MS, Multiple System Failure, high BP, and had multiple mini strokes (TIA's) and car wreck several years ago, after that the Dr that fixed my neck gave me a medicine that caused amnesia, worse than the TIA's and since that l have had breast cancer, & treatments, total tear or the rotary cuff, for a total of 29 surgeries so far, begining with a spleen removal at 16. Today l was trying to use a new smartphone in bed because my ears are so swollen l get sick at my stomach just sitting up and walk like a drunk...all considered the Dr's. SAY l am damm lucky to be alive and my mind is exceptionally sharp considering all l have been through...also have Barrett's Esophagus which doesn't help my dizzy head and nausea...plus my forest already has extremely high pollen and mold now, causing, my sinus and ears to be worse with lots of congestion...so don't criticize anyone you don't even know over such a trivial unimportant little booboo, when you have no idea how life plus CV19 has stressed them and affected there mind and general health...
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 you also reminded me l am dyslexic so YES l do mix up the order of the letters and worst are b, d - g, q, p so you just had to rub into a complete stranger that they have a learning disability, that is almost as funny as calling a person with Downs a retard...
@@annamarkham-roberts4304 I am sorry that you have been through so much! What a wonderful family life! Happy Easter & God bless!
HOUSTON YOU ARE AWESOME 💪💪💪
Looks good! My son Case is growing a pumpkin for the contest! Hope your watermelon does well Houston! --Also I’m just a few hours north of y’all in MO and it’s looking pretty frosty 🥶 Monday & Tuesday evening. I don’t know about y’all but I’m over it! Take care!
Good work Houston.What your Dad is teaching you now,will help when you get older
There is something so satisfying watching you plow the garden with perfect music.
Great Videos! Donald was a great guy and sorry to say he lost his wife before he died. After her death, he wasn't doing videos at any rate. I chatted with him about his mulch (cotton waste) and told me where he got it. He was an AWESOME man and gardener! Thanks for his channels "shout out".
I think its great how you get your son involved. And we learn a lot from you as well.
That is a sweet moment both of you planting the seeds talking.
So anxious for our last frost. Soon! Looking forward to seeing Houston's watermelons. He loves carrots, he should plant some of them also. Keeping all of you in my prayers 💕
We are thinking about starting but this cold snap this weekend has us thinking about starting next week.
I'm in Upstate NY and we had about 2 inches of SNOW this morning !! It has since melted, but it was a shock to wake up to !!
You got this 🍉 competition! Houston is just the cutest lil farmer.
Mom and dad should try making some watermelon wine. Very good stuff for an adult treat. 👍 lol.
Or you could save time and just do the old way of cutting a hole in the watermelon and upend a bottle of vodka in it and leave it until the melon has absorbed it all. Then slice and enjoy. Or make little melon balls....and enjoy. Could also use a bottle of grain alcohol.
@@debraprince4511 its scaring me how well educated you are about vodka soaked melons
Howdy from Central Florida Mr Daniel and Houston,as usual another great video of y'all getting ready to plant,I enjoy watching y'all doing things together as a family,wish I knew how to show you some pics of my almost 3 year old grandsons extra small garden,maybe 3 feet by 25/30ft, it's always a pleasure watching y'all on the homestead doing y'all's thing, may the LORD continue to bless you and your family.
Love the way you interact with Houston. You have a great deal of patience with him. Great family!
Daniel, I really enjoy watching you and Dutch raise your kids. It reminds me of how my father taught me minuS the size nine where the sun don't shine. Could of used a couple hundred more Pop,lol. Wishing Houston luck with his melons. Be safe, well, blessed and God bless America!!!
I too carry an Olight in my pocket, but I carry one for metal detecting to help see what is on a coin or button. My is only about an inch long and I love it.
That soil block doohickey...... blew my mind! Where has that been my whole life?
They are already sold out of the blue promotion flashlights. Congrats Olight👍
Awesome mr. Armstead!!!😉 it looks great!! My dad used.to make rows like that with his rotitiller-- hes been in heavan since june 3rd 1980,😇😭,, and i still miss him-- alot and his gardeing too!!❤💕
Use some the woven fabric for weed control for the weeds tried it about 2years ago I'm very pleased. Hi everyone hope your evening is nice . Thanks camera lady. 👍
Daniel
From the looks of your soil pans and the size blocks you block maker makes, it looks like if you butt the maker against one side snug, that the extra space left over could be filled with another row of blocks simply by turning the block maker sideways to the already created rows. It looks like you could fit another 10 blocks along the side. For the last two only pack in two of the blocks and slide the empty ones over the last two already existing blocks, and BAM!!!
Daniel you could create twice as many rows with just two more "hippers" - discs... The tractor wheel paths would be the same but you would have two raised beds between each one rather than only a single bed. You may not feel you need to produce that many vegetables but you could share/barter them with someone else for what you are not growing. Plus preserve for winter use. Where will you be growing your Corn, Beans, potatoes, tomatoes? Would like to see a layout (plan drawing) of the garden and your desired yield.
He was one of the first channels I watched. He was a great teacher.
This should be lots of fun for the kids, good luck to all that do it! 🍉🥦🥬🍅🍓🥒🌶
plant white clover in the walkways. It will keep your feet clean all summer.. And it will add nitrogen to the garden for the future. It will only need to be cut a couple of times for the season, but the clipping can be left in the garden for mulch.
Houston! In this video you did a great job asking for subcribers and the bell!! You were very clear and every word was understood. Great growth!
Thank you arms family and thank you plight good luck Houston on watermelon contest can’t wait to see them grow
Awesome content👍your family is living the wannabe homesteaders dream! Austin do you have a video on diy garden fencing? I see the fencing you have there, how difficult was is to put up?
Houston, good job making the soil blocks. The variety of seeds should get you good watermelons 🍉 to eat for sure. Good luck on growing your prize winning watermelon 🍉.
Houston I hope you grow the biggest watermelon for the contest! I rooting for you little farmer! I know you're gonna win! Good Luck and I'll be folliwing you on here to see the progress! Throwing some prayers in there always helps! Much love to you all...🙏🙏❤💙😄👍
That plow makes a beautiful garden. Wow
From a old farm guy . the Diggers on the ends are caltivator crowfeet. they kill weeds. If it were me I would take the C channel off the emplement. I don't want you to think I am being critital. Just offering a hint from watching your vlog. Keep up the great work.
That is one seriously cool attachment for anyone with a big garden. If I had one your size and had the tractor, I would be investing. Thanks for the knowledge!
Houston that is a great job I love how me and you like to plant seeds it's amazing to see another kid that is interested in farming and gardening👍👍😁
Houston want to tell ya good luck on your melon garden Daniel hate to hear about a old school farmer leaving us but when it's time to go home you go glad to see you and your family are doing well and God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’ve never seen a tool like that to make soil blocks. That’s a time saving tool. Great work young man. Love watching y’all’s channel.
I've been watching MIgardenders channel for a while, he convinced me to start doing nothing but raised bed gardens. I like watermelons being from the south, but I love cantelope even more!
My kids love watermelons. They are a must in the garden each year.
houston was lost for words at "varieties"
AWESOME!!!! love how your teaching your child how to grow food..AWESOME!!!
Great video! Please tell Houston he did a great job making his dirt squares and planting his watermelons! I'm excited and hope he wins!
As they grow Thin the watermelons to 2 per vine (runner) and then 1 or 2 per Plant to grow the largest watermelons as the plant will be able to put the MAX into each watermelon
Love the visit. My Granddaughter is planting a small raised bed garden with us this year.
And frozen watermelon slices is grate stuff too, kids will love them, cut in to triangles and freeze wrap in plastic wrap so they don't stick together 👍
We all have favorite ways to garden but have you seen Living Traditions Homestead's garden prep? Weed control supreme !!
You guys have set a example that is great . I love the video . keep good work up . Made my channel due to yall
I going to grow some vegetables. Don't have a big area. Going to try with flower pots and trough. Lived on my grandparents farm and do miss it.
I will be growing the MI Gardener jubilee watermelon along with you Houston! I am in SW Michigan, and will be planting my seeds indoors today!!
Yes, I noticed the soil difference. Looks good. Watermelon, great.
Till next time, keep safe,🙏👍
I think your garden spacing is perfect. i also watch living tradition and they use ground fabric to fight the weeds. Just a though. You get a thumbs up from me
I watched in the first hour you and your channel brighten my day so thank you for what you do.
guess you did your job. I'm checking this sale out at 9:00am and they're already sold out! You need a raise.
You can dehydrate watermelon to.make chips or even fruit leathers.thats a good way to use up some.
I wish our weather was as nice as yours appears to be. Our trees have not greened up yet. It was supposed to snow here yesterday but I don't think it did because I don't see any. It was in the 30's last night.
Great job Houston! You know how to get the soil just perfect for soil blocks!
Houston you are the cutest little guy i love too hear you. And watch you help your dad
After seeing this video it has made me decide to plant watermelon seeds in my backyard here in Miami Fl. I used to grow sunflowers when I was around 10 or 11 years old. They got to be around 4 feet tall! I'm going to check out the Olite or Olight site and maybe buy one. I have a Nebo 1400 lumen with low, medium, high, strobe and SOS beam. It also has a focus. I can never have too may flashlights. Great video as always. 🧓
Great boy !! Nice gadern 🌸🌸
Love you guys !!♡♡
Because ya'll do this as a family and make it fun for them as well...reminds me of my childhood and shame so many kids never get the chance nor do they want to learn or do things outdoors and as a family unit! !! Unfortunately, don't hate me for this but the 1 good thing coming from virus is "true family time " ..... family dinners, actual talking ,doing things and being unplugged. Keep up awesome job love the vids
Daniel that is so awesome the way you teaching Houston how to grow crops and raising animals. You all have me smiling 😄 😄😄and i enjoyed this video.
It’s awesome to see all the planting going on. 👍
Awesome video today. I love how Houston soaks up your knowledge. He just needed a tad more water in his seed block mixture. Yes I pay attention when you mix yours lol. I did watch Dusty's video the other day. He gave a great talk about FFA . We need more kids learning to farm and raise animals process and all. Our world needs them. God Bless you Arms Family and Bear & Bella the goats Donkey Poodles chickens ducks and the rest. When ya gonna stock that bass pond?
Thank you for sharing so good information.
Take care and be safe. Many blessing on you and your family.
It was so cool to hear you mention "Donald", his channel was the very first you tube I ever watched. I still use his watering idea ( pvc pipe with tiny hole right above the end cap) for my tomato plants. And I loved all his other ideas! Such a small world.
Good luck Houston on the contest. We planted yellow melted watermelons.
Grow that giant watermelon Houston. I know you can do it. Stay wall Arms Family. Much love from OHIO ❤️❣️❣️❤️
new subscriiber from NJ great channel love everything on your channel especially Houston and Bear .
Ron Lake whare in nj
Amen on Donald. Watched him for years...….
Boy you sure brought back lots of memories for me. My Daddy had a very similar set up that he made, and I plowed and made garden rows every year until I left for college. I sure miss those days on the farm.
Thanks, always enjoy your videos. Houston and his watermelons. He showed us up last year. I don't think we get warm enough long enough here in WV. Have tried several times. Thanks for posting.
You are a good father, Daniel Arms.
Jemma is the Queen of the high tunnel!
Gosh Huston you got so tall over winter.
Nice job , Huston you do a nice job planting!
I'll be Rooting for you, don't forget them this year . I think last year fishing took over. Yah gotta water them before you go fishing . Sound like a plan Stan! 👍
Hey Daniel , it's the first garden I've seen prepared this year. It gave me a nice feeling to see it, I could almost smell the Earth!
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
PS I got my seeds micro greens and mung beans. Thanks for the tip👌
As always, great video! You all stay safe. Thank you for sharing your video. Have a Safe and Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and the critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
Mmmm I love yellow melons 🍉 good luck 🍀 on melon thing Houston! 👍🏽. Thank you for showing us that tractor equipment. Looks like a very good row maker. Happy Easter 🐣 🐇 guys!!
Would you please post Leon’s kids gardening contest? Tyvm
Plus any place to get some seeds for the children. We live in the city so this type of gardening would be good. Hugs 🤗

My watermelon starts have a 5 pound watermelon already, have to plant it in my garden next week. LOL
Oh, I don't think I told y'all but we have always planted by the moon and star signs. WOW, that tool would be great for hoeing potato. It looks like it would pull the dirt up around both sides W/O harming the potato plants. You would have to take the one part off. Maybe by the time the plants get tall enough If the rain don't beat down the dirt, you wouldn't have to pull the dirt up around the plants, not much anyway.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get my garden box back up and going
Good look Houston you got this contest
I can’t wait to get our garden going this spring
Well, that didn't take long. Here it is 5:52 a.m. on April 10 and they are sold out!
i watched a video where a guy buried a fish head under his plants to see which one would grow better - with or without. maybe you could try that and even try different species - flathead or whitebass
Yesterday I looked in my 55 gallon bucket that had watermelon in it last year and there was one coming up.
i live in an alpine national park in victora australia and love watching you guys
Love your Garden and the Tractor be Setup. Can't wait to see planted and growing. Houston was cute trying to say Varieties lol. He is a piece of work. I mean this in a good way. He's willing to do the work to enter this contest. I Love Watermelon in also. But don't have the room to grow. But have a place that grows all natural that grows very good Watermelon. Always like to support local farmers also. Going to check out Flashlights and place order also. Stay Safe God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
Hi..... Daniel and Houston, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐩🐈🌱🐐🐄🐠🎥👍👍👍
Surely Dutch has to get involved in the watermelon challenge now!! Houston clearly fishing for bragging rights when he wins haha 😄
Hay. Little DUDE I just had to shout out to you. My child's name is Houston . He is 12 yrs. old. He had a heart procedure done on January the 17th. so he can't do to many things until July. He looooove basketball. Great to see young guys working with their dads. Houston's dad died about 3 yrs.ago. You and your family stay safe. Blessings always. Ms.Dusty from Houston Tx
good luck with your water melons Houston! I love watermelon its my favorite snack anytime.I guess thats why I love summer so much.I have tried too grow them up here in the mountains but they never get very big ,they get huge down over the Blue Ridge in NC..I live about 50 miles North of the state line about 8 miles south of the WVa. /Va.line and we have perfect weather for growing pumpkins, I love squash ,but melons need more sunshine I guess that we get down in these creek bottoms I could grow them up on the mountain side and just drive stakes in the ground too hold them in place ,but if one ever broke looose it might roll off the mountain and kill some body or kill a Bear.
It’s so wonderful that Houston is so interested in growing food. He is so cute! ❤️❤️❤️
Love to see what they turn out to be.
Kelp extract helps with seed germination and I’m going to grow the world record black diamond watermelon seed this year
Got the email from Olight and love what they're doing.
"You can grow as much corn on a straight row as you can a crooked one " Jerry Clower. If you follow contour you can trap water in swales and release it if needed. Permaculture principles don't work for everyone in every situation but it is worth a look.
I have good luck with peas and beans in the shadiest areas of my garden. They like it cooler. I'm in NY. Might be different for you. Good luck to Houston growing his watermelons.
