I love Bev from Our Half Acre Homestead! She comes up with some great stuff.

[@thehillbillychickenranch]

You are busy in this video! Love that you use solar to run the counter dishwasher!

[@foreverlovely2580]

Good evening to you, Tessie ❤️😊

[@marybethsmith6458]

That is a neat setup with the dishwasher and solar energy to run it. That will certainly keep your electric bill lower.

[@Turtletracks4268]

Hey Tessie, I love how to save money with the cleaning cloths. I would love to here more about how you save money with the solar panels and save on water bill etc. love your content it is all so very helpful and encouraging. Thank you.

[@HomesteadTessie]

Ok will do

[@jillvanhorn1167]

Yes, I'd really like to hear more about solar.

[@MissCharlottePickles]

Me too Tessie. I’m single and my electric for this month was 402.00 I do have my daughter and two grandchildren living me but something has to give. I can’t continue with these kind of bills🥹

[@joannetaggart4136]

It's amazing how much water comes out of your rain barbells. The idea of planting flowers in with the food is a wonderful thing to do.

[@estelaalvarado6128]

Hi tessie ur gardens are beautiful love them.

[@foreverlovely2580]

You save so much without electricity that's awesome Tessie.

[@normatrewhella9003]

Another busy day for you. Love the cleaning clothes and the new flowers you planted among the veggies

[@rosaking8488]

Everything looks so beautiful in the garden and on your porches! ❤️

[@melliesvariedtreasuresntop1477]

I love the sound flip flops make when walked in. I can't walk though so I can't walk in them myself but sure would if I could.

[@joannetaggart4136]

Your garden is different in it's layout. Green, beautiful and thriving. Good evening Tessie. Take care. 🌷

[@juliewebber2749]

Nice price for flowers. Your place looks great. Tessie. I canned mustard beans again today. I’m also making relish. Have a good evening everyone!

Hello 👋 Beautiful Lady 🌹, how are you doing today and how is your weather condition like over were you from ?

[@susanknori3006]

Hi Tessie, when i rinse items off or even just to wash my hands using our tank water I have a bucket underneath which fills up with the water used for cleaning, that I then tip into my watering cans to water my plants/pots. It is amazing how much water you can collect. xx Great video

[@aproverbshome173]

Love the towel idea! thank you for sharing.

[@dianeshover1465]

Tessie.....When you said “chicken tacos” I was thinking small, hand held shells with alittle meat, veg & maybe some sliced avacado like I usually make - what you did was a MEXICAN MASTERPIECE!!🤩😃😂🤣. Hope it was as good as it looked👍👌. Your garden/ landscaping - SO, SO pretty! Thanks for sharing - 💕 your channel

I love the solar fountains too!! We love watching the birds take baths and drink from the stream of water!! 😀

[@gerrymarmee3054]

I sometimes shred cheese and spread it on a cookie sheet. I put it in the freezer, and after it is frozen I put it in a baggie or container. It is then easier to take out exactly what I need because it doesn’t clump up.

[@wandafaulk3641]

Your garden still looks great! I just love your homestead & all you do teaching others about homesteading! Take care! Blessings ❣️❣️❣️

[@owen4248]

Took your advice and made cleaning cloths to cut down on paper towel use - they're fantastic and save so much money!

[@jackieburnett6881]

Great idea to make cleaning cloths and adding the orange oil.

[@CB-pf7go]

Great idea of the cleaning cloths and I love the smell of orange oil, so clean and fresh.

Tessie I keep rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray my tolit, sink ,door knobs or what ever I need to disinfect it works great I do it with peroxide.

My garden has a mix of veggies and flowers and I love the mix of color. My bird bath with the solar fountain sits next to the garden..the birds, bees & bugs enjoy it. My garden is nearing the end, but the color still lives on! Great ideas on your video..your yard is looking so nice and the new shed/garage is a fabulous addition...enjoy!

[@jude7321]

Hi🏡🌿🐦 Where did you get the solar fountain?

[@quietmadness1768]

This gave me hope for next year. I got so weak from kidneys, I told the neighbors to come get what they wanted. I lost my garden battle this year. However, your videos always remind me there will be another season. So good to see you and your family prospering while being frugal! Stay happy friends, ~~QM ❤️

[@kesmarn]

Prayers for you and that kidney situation, QM. And for a good gardening season for you next year as well!

[@sandrayarnell9498]

I love the cleaning wipes idea. Your plants and garden are so beautiful. I do wish that I could find plants that are alive at Lowes. Maybe I will try a different Lowes. God Bless!

[@littlekentucky2294]

I’ve got those same storage containers that I put my powder homemade laundry detergent, I’m totally going to try making the cleaning cloths… I think I could use baby blankets, cut up, maybe sew around the edges… I would liked to seen the size you cut yours to.. what a great money saving idea! Thanks for sharing with us Tessie, your the best, I learn so much from you, you really are helping us during these hard times ❤😊

[@thethriftychickadee7245]

I love the cleaning cloth idea ... I already use your dryer sheets method with the hair conditioner, vinegar and water and it works great, so I'll try this. Also, your property looks like heaven to me. It's so well kept, and your garden is lovely and I love your chickens!

[@terryhenderson424]

2021 we set up a rain water catchment system and are spending 2022 figuring out how to best use our collected water and tweak our system. Depending, the latter part of 2022 and 2023 ild like to look into assorted solar systems. Our area is not noted for its bright, 365 days/ year sunshine and the yard still has a number of trees which work for us elsewise. But, with electric prices generally rising over the years it would be nice to reduce our grid electricity costs; depending upon the rate of return.

[@helengannon8855]

Hi Tessie all new to this solar power real greenhorn. Can you tell me more about the power bank you have and the outside oven, dehydrator please

Hi Tessie 😊 ! I enjoyed your video. YES!!!!, SO many Bugs/Pests HATE the smell of MARIGOLDS!!! (I did too, as a child 🤣🤣). Those Marigolds that you planted in your garden?, were they ones you planted from Seed ? Petunias are Beautiful, in ANY color!! Unfortunately, this time of year in my area; they are SPENT for the Season 😔😔. People put them out @ the end of their Driveways/Properties, for people to pick them up for FREE. They just are leggy & unattractive now. I luvluvluvluv the Smell of Petunias, especially @ the entrance of a home or on a deck 🥰🥰🥰. The scent is just Heavenly 🙂. TYFS!!! Keep Cool 🙄🙄😚😚.

How do you have awesome water pressure outside in your garden hose but not inside of your house? I’m loving your solar panels! I wish I had some and enough knowledge on how to use them. Lol

Hey Tessa you can start your petunias zinnias and also periwinkles by seed and you will save a whole Lotta money. You can also divide them when they first start coming up. There’s a lot of work to taking care of the yard and garden and a home and it looks like you’re doing a great great job!!

I have solar lights I bought at the dollar tree that we make lamps with at night the kids think it is so cool lol.
