I’m sad to hear that Saskatoon berries have made it past Canada. I liked the exclusivity. I’m extremely happy that other places get to enjoy this little purple berry. Frozen is best. I know most of you won’t be able to spot a leaf on a drive through the wilds of if it’s origin, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, I know I can. I know several places of wild growth. I’m happy and mad.

Forgot to ask in my earlier comment but do you have a plan on deterring birds from eating the berries at all or are raspberries quite good at protecting themselves from the birds? I had a small bush in the garden and was surprised that most of them escaped the attention of the birds but they were pretty well hidden and covered by their own thorns.
@sukotu23 Ай бұрын
TIL that you got different varietes of raspberries like earlies and autumn! Amazing. Just curious when do the early ones become available for picking? And also - do you have a specific place you source these from in Scotland? Thanks! Great vid btw!

One way to reduce the fly pressure in the pasture is to move a posse of the chickens in a moveable chick shaw 3 days after the cows leave and they go right to the cow patties and eat the larvae and spread the manure.. win win.... improves pasture, less flies, less bought feed for the chickens, less moving of chicken manure...

The fence system looks great. Is the lower wire not live? It didn't look as if you are strimming or scything the grass around the base of the fence. I also wondered if Rosa was moving the wire away from the shrub but maybe not. You don't have issues with the fence shorting? Inspirational and entertaining as always, thank you.

Hi there! We often do cut the grass below the bottom line as it is electrified. In this instance we just trod the grass down which we felt was enough but now, a month later, we'll most likely have to scythe/strim etc before putting up the fence as the growth is a lot more. We also carry a pruning saw to cut back branches that are touching the lines or at least hanging close that might temp browsing which will then pull the branch onto the fence. It's different every grazing cell, every month really. Thanks so much for the support!

@@TapoNothFarm Thank you for the reply. I visited The Inkpot farm in Lincolnshire at the weekend and saw their cell grazing system. Animals are missing from my site, for some good reasons, but I'm always interested in seeing how folks like yourself integrate cell grazing with other systems. Great videos!

Haying with my scythe is probably my favorite activity out there. We only do a quarter acre Hay Plot for our Rabbit's Winter feed. 14 breeders we've gotta kerp alive. We get 3 cuttings. Two of 'em go for the growoutsv n season, the remainder is saved for Dec-March feeding when pretty much nothing grows here.

Congratulations on getting cows, I am sure you will love them! We love the opportunity to make all our dairy and fresh milk/cream. More importantly, you will have so much compost! One thing I should mention, health and safety, as a fellow jersey owner, be careful with your position when you milk, do not have your face in hoof range , if she kicks( rope snaps, a fly goes by,needs a pee 😅) she will break your jaw. Enjoy the journey!

@@TapoNothFarm it certainly was a couple of years ago but not sure if they are anymore. It seems the UK market is still small. In my opinion they are as good as blueberries if hand-harvested at the right time, but there is a range in ripeness on any given bush and they don't last long. Machine harvesting results in more unripe fruit so may only be suited to processed products that can be sweetened
