You all are called the sweethearts of youtube . I get lonely sometimes and your videos are like getting a visit from family ❤
Your editing has gotten to a whole new level over the past few months.
Do not pile mulch up against the trunk of a tree. It can rot them. Mulch around the drip line but not up against the tree trunk.
Love how you care for your animals!😅
Hi Rebecca, I would love a mushroom video to teach us what you know about hunting for mushrooms, PLEASE and Thank You!
Awww, I love you hand feeding the animals! Sooo, cute! ❤
The green fields are so picturesque
I Love the way You two work so well together ! When You look at each other , I can tell that You Love each other ! That's a beautiful thing !! I LOVE YOU GUYS !! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. I look forward to viewing your videos every time i get the notification. Keep up the good work.

I love baby animals and your lambs are adorable just love your videos
I like the way you 2 work so well together.

Thanks
Jumper
Mate great video as always thanks you two take care and enjoy yourself see you in the next one.
You guys make the Cutest Couple. I see the Love in both your eyes!
I've always understood you do not pile mulch up against the trunk of a tree. It can kill them. Mulch around the drip line but not up against the tree.
100% agree ... that is a big no-no.
That's right
I'm pretty sure he usually dose this...
I must have missed it but what are you going to do with all the chestnuts ?
@@joellacecil7474grow a forest?
Rebecca, you are special, we love you both😊
Crazy to look back at what that pasture used to be when you first started.
Evan enjoyed your video. I can tell that the animals like you and Rebecca and petting them. Have a great rest of your Sunday.
Experiment with adding some landscape fabric to the front of a couple hen boxes to give them a darker spot to lay eggs. Seems to work when I was raising chickens. Love following your farm and family!
You had your own Easter egg hunt! 😂 The lambs are so cute!
I would love to learn a little about mushroom hunting. Please include the hunt and especially your success. Thanks! Enjoy your channel. ❤😊😊😊
The lambs are cute
Better on the grill😊
Here is an old saying, and I quote“ At ease disease there is fungus among us”😂
Wow. A cat that lays eggs. Now that would be worth something. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.
Nice video! Like the chestnuts. Taking us along on a mushroom hunt would be great!
Be careful woodchip can take nitrogen from the soil to help it breakdown.
Thank you for sharing! The best!
Ellie's got much tamer 😊
Thanks for another great one 🤠
I like your videos it show a lot the meaning of good Balance in life ,,, work profits projects sleep time working time caring and love all under control . or at list managed.. i feel so disfuncional sometime .. this is like a settle down time feeling
Hey Evan, if you haven't already, it's time to get a good printer, take fall, winter, spring and summer pictures and make post cards for your store front. Including Your animals.
Good luck hunting Rebekah
The lambs need an elastic half way around their tails to keep them short.
Lambs in the Spring....nothing cuter!
Better on the grill😊
Hey Evan, watched your video cutting hickory tree from 2 yrs ago. Caution.. never stand behind a tree as it is falling. Behind means opposite to where the tree is falling. Trees can kick back.
Enjoyed your video Evan Rebecca have a great day.
Hey Evan, GoPro would have paid you good for the shot of their camera getting dizzy in the baler
It hurts my heart anytime I see somebody use Miracle-Gro potting soil
LOL!!!!
Looking great around there. Glad the shrub puller worked on the walnut tree , came out really good. Spring is here and glad it's there too. Get those mushrooms and show us the messes you find. Good luck, stay safe and keep up the fun you have around there. Fred.
To cute!!😊
Greeting
I have been watching your channel for a very long time and I love what you do and the way you do it. I have only one suggestion related to cows, your heifer is thin because she can't eat enough feed from a cow that is stronger than her. Make some kind of box where only the heifer will be able to pass or some kind of feed ban where each of them will get the amount of food intended for her.
Greetings from Croatia.
Hi You too are a awesome couple
The walnut trees can be replanted also. We sold ours for $1000.00 for each tree when they got 20 feet tall.
Great job Evan and Rebecca, love your farm....if I was closer I would take one of those lambs ( for Easter 😊 ). My favorite mushroom, not time in NE rural Ohio.
Feed first and then mulch,but keep it away from trunk.Evan the blackberry needs too be trained on trellis or wire too support them.
Be careful with how deeply you mulch. It's generally a good idea to leave a small space between the mulch and the trunk as mulch will encourage the tree to shoot out roots above the soil surface. The roots will wrap around the trunk and eventually strangle the tree.
get yourself a big fishing net with expandle handle best thing i found to catch baby lambs
Hey Evvan, I just watched your chicken tractor video. You should attach two old skis at bottom front of the chicken tractor. Easier to pull.
another great video
My brother and i have raspberry rows of six by fifty feet we clip them down to three inches usually in November and they come back nicely in rhe spring
Nice one Evan
We're still 4-6 weeks away from apple blossoms here in VT! Still skiing too!
I dunno if I told you this before...
I sub to a farm in Pa that operates an egg business. After many decades
they have discovered that chicken egg production begins to taper off
after the hen reaches 2yo. So, it is their practice once thier flock passes
2yo to take them all to auction & buy a new flock. Every 2years to keep
production high.
!
Cool good luck!!😊
I liked seeing the bees. Have you considered keeping a couple of hives?
Make sure you prune those canes that are growing.
You might ought to consider dehorning Ellie, since the headtossing with full horns would be dangerous
It's here! Already! Haven't seen you guys in quite a while, as life has kept me busy. Looks like you have put up a lot of fencing, got that other barn going, and planted a lot pasture grass. Don't y'all ever go to work? 🙂
Enjoy your spring.
That was satisfyingly to watch 😊
I hope you are planting those chestnuts where you don’t have to mow or you will be raking them up every time you mow.
Hi Evan and Rebecca,Ed from Vermont
Evan if you continue to put too much mulch around the roots you will kill the roots look at a manual on how to mulch a tree. Mulch should not touch the tree bark.
I took a walk around our property today. I’m not prepared for spring either!
Love the videos Evan , Reb .
Rebecca should take US mushroom hunting!
I use to dock all the tail s on lamb s , for 4 -H . Keeps them cleaner, Love your Farm and the way you work it, thanks. The funny farm when it comes to feeding . Your wife spoils them LOL
MUSHROOM SEASON IS UPON US! 2 of my employees have went to southern IL and found several. However they have also found a few in clay County and richland County. I own ground in jasper and effingham County and have yet to find any. Hopefully this cold snap doesn't hurt them! I love morel mushrooms!
Enjoy the movie ❤
Sping be given on Tuesday the 19th ok evin
Love Larry!! 😂
You need to make a lamb creep to feed the lamb for sale
Morels in Jackson County, South of you guys
Good hunting Rebekah.
Sadly, I just developed a severe allergy to shiitake mushrooms, my favourite, so I’m wary of others.
Cat was subcontracting. You messed up her gig!
spring starts the 19th
Has the roster stopped attacking y’all 😂😊
No, he went after me today. Got me in the back of the knee. So, I tried to punt field goal with him, but I missed.
He will live another day.
Thanks Guys
I thought she was going to say she was pregnant//smile//
Take us with you on a mushroom hunt!
March 19, first day of spring. Sorry Evan. You got this.
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤
Hey Evan, spray some water on the floor as clean the animal pens to keep down the dust.
Is the air in your animal barn circulating enough?
Morels “DRY LAND FISH” aren’t up yet here in south west Va. we are still in “RED BUD WINTER “ here then we’ll have “DOG WOOD WINTER “, a week or so of nice weather then go into “BLACKBERRY WINTER”.
That should be close to the middle of May.
Do any of your grocery stores sale them in the produce dept?
God Bless y’all
Really enjoy your videos
Hi my name is Neil, I'm from Western Australia
Your videos are very good and i love watching them
What are Morel mushrooms ?
You might want to get sterilized soils for the chestnuts adding only what nutrients you want them to have to grow by as that will cut down on the fungus.
And wash your hands after handling the bad seed, before touching the good ones.
I hope the birds enjoy the berries and the weeds enjoy the garden, just like last year!! Evan does three things well; Electrical stuff, Metal fabrication, and choosing a wife. Everything else is pretty IFFY!!! Oh I forgot "HOPEFULLY"
Please show us mushroom hunting. I would like to see what the mushrooms look like and if they are like the one’s I pick in Ontario.
\
Happy hunting 😁
Couple of small ones in Greene county.
Great job love your videos thank you
thx
I’m in Monroe County, didn’t realize I should be hunting yet. I thought in the past I hunted when I saw may apples. I guess I’ll look tomorrow.
I really like that dump wagon, using it for the wood chips worked out great. We used pine needles to mulch around our blueberries, works good, if you have pine needles. My wife and I just planted our seeds over the last several days this past week. My wife would agree with Rebekah, she loves to hunt and eat morel mushrooms, I guess I do too. Looking good on the animals and property. I hope you have a wonderful week.
You know what you'll get with that cat sitting on your eggs? Catbirds
Central IL here and we are still prob 3 weeks out from mushrooms, I cant believe the difference between us and you guys you are really green are grass is just starting to green up!! Hard freeze for tonight 22 as a low. Great video!!!
I always like Shaggy Manes instead of Morels
I like them all, but morels are my favorites 😊
Having fun with the tree puller aren't you😊 i need one of those
