Beautiful Fall = Projects Completed

I have been taking advantage of the beautiful Fall weather to get some projects done before winter sets in. These include projects in the garden, and some that will help us and our animals have a cozy winter.
Here are links to some of the products we use regularly that I mentioned in the video:
Gorilla Garden Dump Cart (I use this to haul everything!) amzn.to/3xogjMt
Heated Rabbit Water Bottles amzn.to/3r8Ppal
Heated Chicken Waterer (not the exact one we have, but as close as I could find) amzn.to/3cPfWB9
Welcome to our Plan Bee! After 20 years of successful careers in the Los Angeles area we moved to rural Missouri and are taking steps to become more self-sustaining on our homestead. I break down all the farmy things into small manageable steps so you can start homesteading wherever you are.
We homestead on 2.5 acres in the Missouri Ozarks, and our garden hardiness zone is 6B.
Our weekly videos break down farming and gardening into small manageable steps so you can make the transition towards self sufficiency and food sustainability without being overwhelmed!
I garden in the Missouri Ozarks and am in hardiness zone 6B.

Lovely seeing all the work you’re doing and getting to see your brother also. 😃

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to get back into the garden. I can't believe it's nearly New Years. Yikes!

[@missourigirl4101]

Lorella so cool you’re still getting peppers. Keep warm!

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

It’s been so beautiful! Is it really December??

[@MamaGrows]

Lorella, that was fun seeing you work with your brother. Wow, that T post!

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Right?????

[@darisanshanger1616]

why you picking on Duke :-) messing with chickens is Great fun!! Oh my goodness! Poor toby! LOL the stick is so funny

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Haha poor Duke. LOL no, we've got to train them not to mess with the chickens, because a dog's natural instinct is to kill chickens. And once they do it once, it's almost impossible to get them to stop. so it's either bye bye doggie or bye bye chickens.

@@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm you’ll train him.. he is happy chasing chickens

[@dlawlessloyd]

Ive had nothing but grief from those heated water bottles, they fail alot.. hope u have better luck. Last year we tarped the bunny cage & hung a heat lamp from the center and my bottles didnt freeze as bad

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

This will be our third winter with these bottles and most of them are still working. The heat lamp is something I could consider, though, if they don't work out. Thanks for the tip!

LOVE my gorilla cart! I only have kale, cilantro and swiss chard in my little green house.

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

I would love to grow cilantro!

Just found your channel and I'm going through your videos, I love your positive attitude. We are just about to purchase our first place and are in our 50's it's a scary and exciting time, thanks for sharing :)

[@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Amanda, I’m also in my 50’s! It is both scary and exiting. I would suggest not taking on too much new at once. :) make sure you have shelter and feeding systems in place before buying animals. Don’t get sucked in by baby faces! They get big so fast. LOL

@@LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm it’s going to be hard to hold back but I know doing up the house will have to come first. We will have to prioritize financially too. We are buying a 200 year old farmhouse that hasn’t been lived in for years, so getting it warm for winter next year will be our first priority.
