And an area of check off that the activity is done. At the end of the week, maybe everyone has some kind of award/activity/something nice for everyone or individually, so they don’t dread working on the farm weekly. You could maybe ask everyone to make a wishlist of things they would like/or to do/or to go, etc. Just a thought. Glad Rebekah is feeling better-glad she had some rest days! Love your channel. Love the family. So Awesome!!
Leave the pierced or cut potatoes out and store in kitchen to eat on now. Put the rest in dry, cool area to store. Good call boys, they are already dry. Put a fan on the onions and garlic. They are stacked too high and they will rot.
Justin, you can also blanch in the pillow case. My father in law uses a turkey cooker. He’s does purple hull peas and okra. He puts the contents in the pillow case to blanch and when he pulls it out, the water is clean for the next blanch. He just dumps the contents in the sink to rinse. Then packages and puts in the freezer. This year they are drying the contents and adding them to a dry pillow case to keep in the freezer to easily get the foods like you are. I just wanted to share the quick/bulk blanching idea.
I love seeing the 7 family members personalities. All different individuals with the same goal. As a viewer, Josiah is my guy. Quiet, does his job without complaining, while big bro drives off into town without him. Lily is the true warrior. Always in the kitchen to feed everyone. Can’t wait for her cookbook!
Jonah and Josiah are extremely close in age. That means they will not always see eye to eye, and time apart is better than fighting, which Justin has said does happen, off-camera.

Tip for wounds to prevent infection in the future. Grow calendula (super easy to grow and pretty), harvest the blossoms (keep near the house and just grab them regularly), put that in vodka and wait a few weeks. Strain that to create an amazing tincture for wounds! You can dilute it 4:1 but keep it stored full strength. It is one of the simplest things to take care of wounds I've found. Helps prevent infection and promotes healing. An infected wound becomes a massive problem very quickly. And working on a homestead means many opportunities for wounds. With a few plants on pots in my front yard I saved enough to last all year for my family and even gave some away.
Would have been better if he planned ahead and had the please organized, in the new freezer clean and cold, BEFORE they got back with the newly butchered meat. (Who am I kidding? This is the Rhodes's. If they planned, they wouldn't have enough content. Content is more valuable it seems than a freezer full of beef.)
Beck-take it slow but try to get up and move around..activity helps..laying around so much does make you feel woozy when you first get up and get moving..hope you feel better!..RANDOLPH…so happy to see you getting around again! Blessings Rhodes family❤
Don’t leave the potatoes out .. I listened to that advice last week. I put them in the shade, they are still green now after one week . Just have to throw them away😰😰😰
Oh how I can relate to too much beef and not enough freezer space! Had two whole steer customers back out once. We happen to have 3 -21cu foot freezer, but had to get another one shipped over to take the last of the harvest. Ended up with one freezer completely full of just ground meat and had to can about 20# of product that had just started to thaw by the time freezer #4 was delivered. Crazy times and still selling that beef a few pounds at a time, lol.
Another time you get a cut dirty, irrigate it with a child's dosing syringe. You can get right in there without touching anything, it doesn't hurt as much as a cotton bud or nailbrush, and it's a whole lot cleaner. Use saline, clean boiled water or diluted iodine if you can bear it.
if you get a plant that gets pulled up, remove the larger sunleaves so the recovering plant does not have to refill them with moisture and can use it in the main plant. Also it's best to pull the fruit and let it ripen on the window sill.
You could also use ground pork and beef trimmings in venison ring sausage. Go with your 2 oldest and attend hunters safety that will also train them in airsoft safety. You can have the boys be drop off and pickup guides for deer and animal share lease holders. Process and fill coolers inbetween am and pm hunts. Your pasture management has also doubled the wildlife population. Its surprising that the gardens arent being attacked without high fences. Its the same as harvesting beef, just not a stationary target. Would be a great abundance plus utuber hunting camp experience and channel collaborations. The guides get paid for farm work by the farm.
Maybe that’s why you all keep getting sick, really bad hygiene. Do better to teach all the kids. And why is Henry always screaming?! I don’t remember any of the other kids being like that.
People have done that forever. You don't leave them long, just enough to air dry the outside. Depending on where you live, like the mountains of NC, mold and rot from moisture is a bigger problem.
@@WilliamWBG honey isn’t sugar - it’s a very complex substance that is widely known to be antibacterial and antifungal. I recently put it on a small dirty wound that wouldn’t get clean after washing and scrubbing. After a few hours I removed the bandaid and all the dirt lifted off and left a perfectly clean area.
Justin put an epsomsalts poltus on yout arm over night in the morning it eill be very clean, no infection left. 1Tb. Spoonfuls, dampening bandage put directly on your arm overnight.
My grandparents always stored greenbeans in white cotton pillow cases in the deep freezer so we I grew up I was used to that. But he grew 10 acres of potatoes every year. It's supposed to be easy. But I never get more then a handful, and there always small. It's so disappointing
You are a hard working man Justin and still say “Happy Day”. I wished I could help you and your family! I am older and always love working with others! God bless you dear and your family!🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻❤️
Hydrogen peroxide solution is ideal for cleaning wounds, the bubbles lift out dirt, etc. It needs to be a part of The Beautiful One's Doctor Bag. Super glue can be used in place of stitches to help hold your cut together. They also make liquid bandages now. I've not tried them, but they look like a useful idea in your situation.

Question. Why did you not put a walk in freezer in your remodeling?
Yea they had one before. But now they have a sauna and plunge bath area. I guess that’s more important for them.
That's why Gideon is hard to handle...he's the babysitter...so he wants to play..
Mr. Brown was hard to handle before Henry was born. At least he is learning responsibility by helping to tend his little brother at times.
Canned green beans are so much better than frozen. I think frozen beans have a weird taste.
My daughter calls frozen beans “ squeaky beans “ 😂
That freezer taste
You're right. Canned are way better.
Especially frozen beans that’s haven’t been snap frozen by snap-freeze machinery. I hate that freezer burn taste!
I thought they were getting a freeze dryer. If that’s the case then what he is doing is fine for right now.
Don’t leave the potatoes out ..
I listened to that advice last week. I put them in the shade, they are still green now after one week . Just have to throw them away😰😰😰
Yep, ALWAYS dry in the shade. He's about to poison his family!
You're not supposed to leave them out for that long. Just need to air dry then store them properly
@@jenniferwolford4646 Not the fist time.

Putting a fan under the garlic will dry it out faster
Wow thanks for the green bean hack. I'm trying now. ❤
PLANTAIN!!!! i would be surprised if you didnt have any of this weed on your farm. It is perfect for wounds. Same as cayenne pepper, or yarrow.
Not that a Rhodes will read this, but Henry should spend as little time as possible under Gideon’s influence.
Hey Justin, we love y’alls videos. We have a farm in South Carolina and your videos really help us. We would love to meet y’all one day.
Good to see you Randall!!
Never put potatoes in the sun!

Potatoes will turn green in the sun. Toxic.
You could always make fried green tomatoes
Beans should be cooked for two minutes before freezing, otherwise the enzymes stay in them and they keep good only a few weeks..
😊 say Justin, What did you spray in the freezer..?.. vinegar ?
👏👏👏 Good to see Randolph!
Cheers.. Nature is always right.
True, bumper crop year for sure up north... the Age of Abundance is real.
Don,t lay the potatoes in the sun,they will rot
Hi Randolf! Hope you're doing great!
❤
I just started watching and Rebecca is always sick or lying down. Do you believe in going to the doctor? Just curious on how this all works.
Right! Their "healthy" living is killing them! I can't imagine laying around so much!!
I don’t think they go to the doctor, and I thought they would be less sick with how healthy they are
They have been to the doctor many times. You are clearly new around here
@@4BWVan She clearly says she just started watching
@@4BWVan Yes I am, Clearly!

I guess that is a cool beanbag then:)
You're harvesting and here in north west England we're still waiting for the summer to begin!!
If that tomato plant doesn't make it I see fried green tomatoes in your near future.
Yes, abundance plus, what a dilemma. Rebekah, don't push yourself, just allow your body to heal.
Thr greenbeans will be goid for a while but they need to be blanched uf you want them for winter.
Looks like you need another freezer love you guys

Do you make your own pickles?
Please teach Lilly to not put her fingers in her month while she’s cooking!
It’s a very bad habit.
Also get her hair put back while she’s cooking!
Maybe that’s why you all keep getting sick, really bad hygiene. Do better to teach all the kids.
And why is Henry always screaming?! I don’t remember any of the other kids being like that.
ou guys need to invest in some walkie talkies or cell phones for the older kids so you don't have to yell.
Ps. You ought not to put your
Potatoes out in the sun. Dude, what are you smoking down there in NC

For "homesteading" for 20 years, your animals seem to get out every vlog.

Your potatoes are going to be sunburnt. They won't be any good, no sun exposure! Don't know who told you to lay them in the sun
People have done that forever. You don't leave them long, just enough to air dry the outside. Depending on where you live, like the mountains of NC, mold and rot from moisture is a bigger problem.
Laying them in the sun is good for onions, I wouldn’t do it with potatoes
Justin, I don’t remember you ever laying the potatoes in the sun. Christine Larkin is correct. The potatoes will be sunburnt.
You lay them in the shade to dry!
