Has it been 3 years already.. dam, time is just flying by!

The blue of eucalyptus trees contrast beautifully with the red dirt and Adeli’s dome. We have our fig and coffee trees espaliered to keep birds etc from eating our bounty and easy picking.

Love your vids and love this update. That cat drop was hilarious tho. Didn't expect that or know why I found that funny. Much love to you guys. Awesome project

I'm not good with time. But I do know that you guys are productive. 💜

You know, you can save ample time just by digging a hole and burying it. Lol

DOES THE Water in the river stay year round.......enjoyed watching.....love the drones shots most of all......BLESSINGS DARLINGS FROM GRANNY LINDA IN OZ AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 🪃 ❤️

Honeylocus. ?? Sorry i am german. In translation there is no usable treename. Can you please give me the botanical name of that tree? Thanks Next... are you planning in the future like... 10 years on the berm to plant walnut or yerry?

love it, why not more Mesquite trees jest curious. thank you

Gopher baskets

Thank you for the update on the berm. Like the progress of the plants.

You are all doing th we best you can and that's it

I once got free hackberry wood for firewood. It was the worst thing i ever had to split (with my maul). It would laugh at me. I can't recommend it for that use. Locust, however, is the best you can get! I'm in the northeast; i don't know if that makes a difference.

what about palo verde tree,Pecan trees have a long life and what about fig trees

Great job o all the trees.

Eucalyptus has lots of good health uses.

Have you tried growing Moringa trees? great animal fodder and highly beneficial.

You said Chinese Elm? I hope you meant American Elm. the Chinese Elm are illegal to plant in NM. Horrible highly allergic invasive tree. they make seeds that blow all over in the wind and are impossible to dig up and remove. An american elm is a nice shade tree, but make sure it is NOT a Chinese Elm. please check it out. I lived in Albuquerque and I testify to the property devaluing and misery. I live in the high desert of AZ now and I love what you are doing.

I would like to know more about your cats. We are considering planting trees along a berm but to think the ground squirrels would eat the roots is demoralizing. A young cat recently moved onto our 40 acre property. We are feeding him and giving him a place to hide from the coyotes. How do you manage your cat population? Where do they go in the cold weather? Are any of them neutered? What should we consider before expanding our cats. Thanks for your videos. They are quite instructive.

ashley, check dovetail work wear! my most comfortable durable pants designed by women for women. ❤

Pine needle tea is an immunity booster. FYI. Not being bossy I think when you put more swales in try other varieties.

Are you going to get a koala bear?

Thanks guys111111111

Good to see you all! Looks like the berm and swale are holding up and doing what you want them to! Love the variety of trees!

I love the Eucalyptus trees, I have a few of the same kind myself, but I never heard that they drop sap and cause fires! Yikes, well they get good water. Good to see you all!

Did you run Romex in a conduit?

I really enjoy the wildness of your high desert property!

Plants that are struggling add chicken and goat droppings they will flourish

Maybe this is a stupid question but did you fertilize last fall this fall? We have timber land and those Honey locus are not super fast growing but should be bigger. I know you love natural so just placing manure around them would be enough. Don’t let it touch trunk of tree spread in ring around tree a foot or two away from trunk

Over three hundred species of Eucalyptus, so many varieties in terms of height, how well or not they burn etc. Some grow huge 40+ metres some don't 2-3 metres. Some have huge showy flowers some don't, some are frost hardy others only grow in the tropics- subtropics. Its like of like saying Cars are not great for driving off road, while some aren't, some definitely are...... It's hard to make any generalizations about them until you get into the individual actual species.

Wow hard to believe it's been 3 years already. Living at 1500 elevation in Arizona the trees and grounds look amazing. I love my desert willows too. Hummingbirds love them too. ❤❤

That Loco Weed/Datura at 29:11 is where your horn worms come from. Thanks for sharing.

We just drove west down I-10 through your stretch of Arizona to visit family in Chandler and saw pecan orchards. Can you not plant them too? Great shade and lots of nuts.

It looks great. Cat in the tree top at the end😂😂😂😂

12:55 Color coded tree chart. 👍

Some trees just grow slower than others. I love that you have hackberry trees in your mix. They take a while to get big, but are great for birds.

Bonus, the Honey Locust can be an insanely thorny tree. Like 6” thorns, no joke. Be careful as they get bigger.

Something you might want consider regarding your irrigation system... Its clear that a 1/2" pipe supplying the entire length is far to small to give the volume of water you need. Take a look at running a 1" pipe to the middle of the irrigation piping and put a "tee" with 2 valves to split the volume of water..... I think the trees on the end are not getting enough water.

They said something about the Eucalyptus but what about the sap and needles of the pine trees thier just as flammable if not more so.

I use old clothes and linens over my plant cages to keep frost and snow off the leaves. Way better and cheaper than official plant wrap materials.🧓PS This is one of my favorite shows you have brought to us. Thank you. Also, would you like to try to grow some pinion trees? You have the altitude... potential big source of income in 7-10 years. 👍

Each in their own time, will flourish. Good job. Good seeing how things are going for the trees. 💖

PLEASE CHANGE THE HIGHLIGHT SIGNAL. Hey we love you all. Been watching for ever. I have a beagle that we think was a Laboratory rescue. We rehomed him in 2017. He loves watching TSH with me( loves the doodles we had 2 but they’ve both passed.). The bell sound sends Barney into EXTREME PANIC MODE. Shaking whining etc. hoping you might be able to accommodate us. If not we understand. Keep up the great videos. 🦮

👋😇👍Awesome results overall, have a good weekend and count your blessings. 👌✌️👋🙏

G’day Ash and Jon, just can’t help commenting about the eucalyptus concerns. I grew up in Victoria, Australia and yes they do drop branches, widowmakers, at random when heat stressed during summer and extended dry. When I bush walked I would hear them occasionally drop but you may hear a warning crack, but they do drop suddenly. This is only a safety concern for the large trees. On the fore risk, I could see the air building up with a vapor cloud, that would flash burn in the right conditions. I lived on a ridge above valleys so this was something I watched. There were days I just wouldn’t burn anything, on non declared fire ban days, because of this. I lived among mountain ash, messmate and blue gums, great timber resources. Your very few eucalypts aren’t really anything that I would worry about. I grew lots around these eucalypts, but when fires came they were intense and cleared most things. This was a great update, thank you.

Take your time🥰

🎉 Totally Off-Topic, forgive me please. I've been trying to figure out for months HOW you two do that opening moment slide towards each other. I finally got the bright idea to slow down the playback speed. So I set it up at 0.25. And replayed it several times. Well, I still haven't quite figured it out, but... I learned what you would both look and sound like if you ever decided to throw the towel in and drink yourselves into oblivion. Not a pretty sight, but definitely hysterical and might be a good tool to show your fantastic children what people actually look like when they tie one on. 🥳👍😍 🧓+🦮🐶🐩🐕🐕‍🦺

Me again, Grew up on a ranch near Luke AFB. Ranchers planted Eucalyptus along Litchfield Road as a wing break. Those who were planted along irrigation ditches and they grew to be 50 to 80 feet tall. The wind break idea was good until during wind events, which you have experienced, very large branches fell in the road. Some ranchers took them down for that reason. Also, they produce tons of leaves and they drop them by the ton. Fire hazard, yes.

When you first planted those honey locust I mentioned that they don't grow well out west. I have some I planted 40 years ago that are only 12 ft tall.

High desert but north of you. We love those pines. They take off after a few years and really grow quickly.
