maybe you guys can make ghee with some of your butter? i believe it has a higher smoke point. i know it is used in indian cusine, ive seen it on shelfs at the store too

I've been enjoying bingeing on your content lately. Just thought I'd say hi from Arkansas here nearly a year later! :)

Just found your channel and so far love the content. I have a small yard in a cold climate but i am working to see how much I can grow in my small space with a very short season. Love all the tips.

I really like how you guys work together in the garden

maybe theres a way to dehydrate milk? like milk powder? im sure you could use that in baking recipes or smoothies? no idea if its possible but ive heard of milk powder before

your asparagus is absolutely massive!

Thanks for all you do. Do you know what the wire racks are (stacked) that are sitting outside of the cold cellar area, used by potatoes or where I can order them from?

I have a terrible time washing my butter and getting all the buttermilk out. We don’t have a well yet so I used my Berkey water to wash with but my butter never firms up enough to really press all the water out. Any suggestions?

I want to say you are doing superb with your homestead and ensuring your children don't eat GMO foods!! Keep up the excellent work!!

Absolutely love y’all’s channel! ❤❤❤

Garden's coming together nicely. I grow corn in raised beds. I dig a little furrow about 4 inches deep then put the seeds in the furrow but push then down in the soil another inch. Once they grow about 8 inches, I fill in the furrows for some added anchoring. And since I have a raised bed, I can ha e supports (either tposts or wooden posts on each corner then tie strings around the outside at 2 feet high and 4 feet high. This stops the wind from blowing them over. And to ensure pollination, I tap the stalks with a bamboo stick each day when the pollin is ready. Try it. It's fun. You can get a good 35 stalks in one 8x4 raised bed.

Try trellising your squash to help with the mildew

In Denmark we eat strawberries and raspberries with cream it's absolutely amazing ❤️

you lost me at "fake" nitrogen

MORE PEOPLE. GETTING WISE. BACK TO BASICS. INDUSTRIAL AGE TOOK US OFF THE LAND HUGE MISTAKE HUGE TOO MUCH GREED DESTROYS LIFE GRAMPS TAUGHT ME THEIR NOT MAKING MORE DIRT BUY DIRT

GET HAIR OUT OF YOUR FACE!!

Y’all are so inspiring and we relate to you and your family so much. It wasn’t till this video I realized you are from Ohio like us!! ❤

I'm with you, I love red beets. I like them fresh, cooked, pickles and I don't have to share! God bless y'all and keep growing

Who runs the farm when y’all on vacation????

Oh, I highly recommend a green stalk ( and you should get an referral link) for the strawberries.

New viewer. I greatly appreciate you sharing your story. Excellent editing, easy comfortable to watch, love the unity of the back and forth between a young husband and wife telling your story. Looking forward to future videos, will be going back and watching your previous videos and will let the commercials play through. God bless.

I was reading that planting sweet corn and popcorn in the same area of the garden is a no no. I am trying popcorn for the first time this year but I wasn’t sure where I should plant it? Have you had luck doing this? I have my sweet corn and pumpkins in a large bed and I have about 80 foot rows. Can I plant popcorn on the opposite side of the garden? Wait 2 weeks to plant? What do you suggest?

I love the intense music when it rained lol. I am in IL and its rained so much. I am starting to panic, i need to get my garden planted. ugh!

Such good info and you get straight to the point, didn’t have to fast forward once and all of the tips were so helpful!! Such a great channel ❤

Nice video! I like your mention of health and what you eat, etc. I have been aware of how my body works with foods. it is super great to feel good!

Thank you for the video. My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I said not today. Prayed. I was led to grow. It is hard work. My daughter is now symptom free the last 10 years with a healthy colon. 🙏

Excellent information from a southern gardener here in Florida!

Agree with Cody! I grew up eating rhubarb pie at my grandmother's in Ohio, or stewed with icecream. Most people eat rhubarb and strawberry pie combo, but my favorite too is just rhubarb!! I planted some last year here in western NC but it died. This year I bought a 2 year old start and it is doing wonderful. I'm hoping next year for a homegrown rhubarb pie❤

If you take your fresh picked raspberries and put them in a bowl of cold water for a minute will the bugs come off? If it how do you get them out so they can be eaten? Please and thank you.

Thank you for the tour and information. Peanut butter and soda are the weirdest changes for me, but many things just taste off now since I've had covid.

Now there is a step, kneading butter, that would save your hands and time, if you could find a machine to do it for you........cut corners where you can sweetie:)

I absolutely agree about food being healing. Michelle, I don't want to eat foods that are full of gmo's and added chemicals either. If people who question your motives would look around at the relationship between the amount of sickness and the changes in how food is grown and transported in the past couple of generations, they might not see your caution as paranoid, but prudent. It's obvious that something is highly broken in our food system, and some of the items in the food stores can't even nourish us. Keep giving us good info via your great videos, and grow well!🌻

Can I swap out AP flour for spelt flour? Love your channel!

I really don’t care anymore what people think about my food choices for my family. The Lord gave us the ability to make wise choices for a reason. Do what God places on your heart. That’s all that matters.

1st one learns to grow his/her own food 2nd one learns to process and store said food. All store bought food is partially processed and presented in convenient packaging, convenient amounts, convenient time. WRT how long it takes to "cook from scratch", it's a matter of getting used to it. Actual human work time, is greatly reduce with familiarity and planning.

Michelle You quoted what I say all the time - When you’ve been chronic sick and heal from eating good food - you become serious about what you eat and feed your babies. I have the hardest time growing carrots even with the boards - it looked like you planted about 2” deep is that right? You’ll Love the cattle panels!!! I use the “tomato” cages for my peppers works great👍🏼 Thanks for the video!!🤗 Oh and you can pass some of that rain our way please😁

at my place everything went total science and our chickens just stopped making noise and stood still for a good 5 mins

If Sweet potatoes are anything like Kumara (nz potatoes) they need a hard bed pan for them to hit their roots on before they make good size tubers. Set a specific bed for sweet potatoes and put down corrogate 1-2 feet’s then fill the bed with soil on top. The roots will hit the corrogate and then start growing by big tubers

Just love your videos! ❤🌹🌹🌹

6 pepper plants is enough for a year for a family of 6 people?

This is my all time favorite Homestead channel. You guys are awesome and so inspiring. Keep up the good work!

Bees loves sweet corns because of their pollens ❤

Thank you! My wife is hypoglycemic so if we eat corn, it comes from the store, frozen, Non-GMO and store bought Non-GMO potatoes. The farmer behind us raises 168 acres of corn and I do not trust it. This year, it is soy beans so I am growing pop corn. Keep the vids coming!

Love your videos ❤

I've tried 3 types of yellow beans without any success. Make your tomato cages higher if they are indeterminate. Trim out the first 8 inches of shoots.

Lift your squash leaves off the ground. It helps with the mould

Michelle, try pickling some of your red beets!! So delicious in salads and sandwiches or burgers. ❤

I know this wasn’t your intention, but the first few minutes of the video filled me with absolute panic! We are moving to our new property next week and will be so incredibly far behind for this year. June is hardly the time to start seeds. Ah well…I hope I can find a milk cow relatively quickly.
