Rebekah handled the tractor like she's been doing it her whole life! Great job, you two!!

[@debrawild5326]

Mia is beautiful. My suggestion is putting the weeds on the burn pile if they have weed seeds. Otherwise when compost is spread the seeds will spread too. I love how you two prepare the garden together. It's a lot of work.

[@joannak4640]

Fantastic job, Rebekah!! I really enjoy you in more videos like you guys have been doing. I've been following you for around 4 years and have always loved your videos but with Rebekah in them, it took them to a whole new level ❤️ So happy to see you in the garden. I think you will be able to get it in the ground and going. I have complete confidence in you Have a great week

[@gurubhat2403]

These snakes prevent rats/mouse/rodents infesting your vegetable garden. They are good friends of farmers.

[@wlgroom]

Rebekah did great with the tractor, and Evan is a good teacher. Look at that smile! Fun times ahead on the homestead.

[@karenfrankland7763]

I have never used weed fabric in our garden beds. We have raised beds and all the walkways are heavy layers of cardboard topped with 6 inches of wood chips. Haven't had any weeds in the walkways other than maybe a small sprout from the whole grain we feed the chickens. We let the chickens into our garden beds all fall and winter to churn everything over for us and add more compost to the beds as needed. In the fall and winter we drop layers of leaves on the garden beds and the chickens do all the work of breaking it down for us.

[@jerrywoodlee2345]

Love your hat, Rebecca❤ Also good job on the tractor.

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Rebekah looked like a pro running the tractor! Pretty soon she will be running it with a snake wrapped around her arm and a mouse on her lap 😂😂

[@michaelblum6222]

Love the garden content. Have you tried putting moth balls in the snake holes? They hate the smell and stay away from them. I put them around the house every sping and fall and were we had snakes in glue traps are no longer.

[@csnanny1882]

Couldn’t been done any better, good job Rebecca, great video,looking for more, sad you lost the baby ducks, hope for more, You guys will have a good garden with all that rich soil. God bless,love ya

[@kaygalloway4315]

Good job Rebekah! Everything is looking great!

[@teenagefarmer]

I was wondering how your garden was coming. Glad to see you got a start. Great work with the tractor Rebekah Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Rebekah, you did a fantastic job on that tractor and it looked like you really enjoyed it too. Miah seems very comfortable at her new home. She is so pretty. Thanks for sharing your vision with us....I know you will have a bumper crop in that garden. Have a Blessed day.

[@hoov1998]

I like your hat, Rebbeca!

[@johnmccormick-fl1pg]

You have created a monster on that tractor. She seems like a natural behind the wheel. Evan, you are now the ground crew, Rebekah will be on the machinery !

[@sherry2836]

That soil looks like black gold. Rebekah, what a fun new toy! Excellent work. And nice to see Evan is so encouraging. So sad about the one little duckling, At 1:00 you can see the tiny yellow duckling was most likely the last to hatch and probably not strong enough to recover from the Great First Swim. Rebekah always making friends with the bovine!

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca nice to see you love watching your videos homestead Beautiful good job. I also hate snake if I see I killed. Thank you 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐈🐐🐑🐄🐖🐝🐠🐟🎣 🌱🌻🌼🌹🌸🌺🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

[@marshasmith6320]

Rebecca you’re a pro on that tractor. Good job you two. Love the baby ducklings.

[@michaelchamberlain4618]

May God bless you both in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

[@andrewmcfarland57]

ditto

[@paulkornegay]

Those are mouse holes. The King snake is your friend. He eats other snakes including poisonous. And especially mice. So don't harm your King snake.

[@stevesmith246]

Love way you work together and take it as it comes

[@Sword-Shield]

Growing up back in the late 60s early 70s...we used a sharp hoe on the weeds like every 3 days😅 Not hard just a little time involved.

[@juniorjones9719]

The flip flops gotta go....when working

[@momstrublue]

I like your hat Rebekah! Great job on the tractor. You’re braver than me with snakes. I’d have to get my snake boots on. Lol You all made great progress. Love your videos! And Maya. ❤😊

[@maddog2771]

Why don't you just use your grass clipping in your garden in sted of that fabric ,

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay Evan cool to see you are starting your garden once again contrasts on your baby ducklings thank you for sharing

[@cathiwim]

Its not the water, its the snapping turtles! They grab the ducklings’ feet and pull them under. Because we cant hear each other when the tractor is running, we use sign language(hand motions) to tell each other what to do with the bucket. Mimic the motions you want the driver to make. Works like a charm!

[@jimcooksey4150]

Evan, looks like you just lost your new tractor. You now have his and her tractors.😂

[@ericsheriff4317]

You are in zone 5b though like I am I think. May is when most can go out. Just because of frost. You are in good standing. 😊

[@danne77sthlm]

Now you done it, Rebekah, you now got the tractorbug, we are many that has it, and it never goes away 😁 But, you did VERY good for using the loader the first time, I´d say this you will be good at shortly, no doubt it came like naturally to you, good job, take that with pride said from an ex farmer! 🙂 And, yeah, Maya (not sure that is her spelling), our Jerseys was always named Maja and Emma 🤩

[@andrewmcfarland57]

Once you have the tractor bug, there's no going back. 🙂

[@debhart2996]

I love that you have a new project with each new video. Keep it up. Thanks

[@tonyaegan2480]

You both have full-time jobs, don't beat yourself up. You guys are getting r done.

[@kentowens2179]

Rebecca is doing great with the tractor! Nice video. You have a beautiful place there.

[@jimlong527]

Rebekah is becoming a pro on the tractor give her seat time and she will run rings around you. This is her new toy.

[@floydblack3038]

U now have a his and hers tractors.

[@headhunter4488]

Rebekah is so much tougher than Evan. Proof is in the footwear. Farming in flip-flops!! She did a really good job for a new tractor operator. Be safe. Till next time...

[@marydanen5220]

Rebekah is hooked, good thing you have two tractors. 💞🐮🌷🌻🌹🍀🐔💖

[@theBakersonafewacres]

17:00 that's some precision skills to take the dirt off the top, but leave the fabric behind.😉 Well done

[@robfl07]

Have you looked into getting a tiller attachment for the new tractor?

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Evan and Rebecca, sure glad you got a new Tractor Rebecca. You'll have lots and lots of fun playing with the controls and they will become second nature to you after a while. In the mean time you will get an enormous amount of work done around there and have lots of fun, you're doing great already. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and have fun. Fred.

[@danoles2917]

Is removing the backhoe difficult?

[@cathydickerson1420]

You would have to kill the snakes if I helped in the garden

[@christopherclanton4466]

Turtles will eat baby ducks when there in the pond as well

[@paulchauvin840]

Turtles will eat baby ducks too.

[@joannak4640]

I meant to mention that, too 👍

[@CountryViewAcres]

When I was editing the video! I realized I should also said turtles. And we have some big turtles

[@jpeel2066]

Great work. Looks a useful tractor. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@ralphsullender2474]

First time operating the loader won't be the last.

[@danieljones-fc1eu]

Rebecca scared of snakes and yet she is wearing sandals

[@Infinity.....]

Let's all chip in & buy Rebekah some boots! 🥾🥾 😊

[@MichaelJones1527]

I like those steel-toed flip-flops that Rebekah was wearing. LOL

[@EC4400]

Rebekah and TYM. Game on.😅

[@JamesCouch777]

Those holes are made by rats and mice and the snakes use them to hunt and hide in.

[@murielmartin6533]

The weeds will always win whatever you do😢

[@happeningoutmybackdoor]

Not real sure about Rebecca's work boots?

[@shamrock56gargan96]

Put a gate in for tractor access, great job Rebecca

[@tomcox954]

She's a natural!! You may have created a tractor/loader monster.

[@vanessakristle7599]

Rebecca I am so proud of you! You go girl!!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Looks really good! Thanks for sharing!

[@robinstuyvesant7187]

Steel star pickets are easier to remove when you give it a good hammer whack down, It dislodges the soil adherence and you can pull them up. Maybe the same principle could apply to those weed blanket staples.

[@sherry2836]

Kind of the same principle when pulling up carrots (a gentle push instead of a whack, of course)😄

[@williamsimeone5623]

Nurses can do anything.

[@gradycooper7991]

I love everyone of your videos. They bring back so many fond memory of the farm life I enjoyed in the hill country of North Georgia. Thank you for providing such wholesome videos. LOVE THAT CAP.❤❤❤

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Job well done Rebecca!!! 🚜

[@bohhica1]

Dang Rebekah, your doing an excellent job with the bucket, need to send Mike from O.D.W.T.M. for some training!👍👍👍👍

[@fabioforni5722]

Rebecca you did a great job. Have great day.

[@bobcruse512]

That plant with the jumping seeds is Jewel weed and it is highly invasive. 3 years ago there was a small patch in the back of my property. Now it is everywhere in my yard.

[@DDL2728]

Rebekah, great job on operating that tractor - impressive!! ⭐️👍And, I'm with you on snakes!! I can't stand to look at pictures of them!! 😵‍💫

[@michigantler5046]

one year of weeds, seven years of seeds

[@andrewmcfarland57]

Videos of chicks = 🙂 Videos of chicks being snapped off the surface by bass = 😞 Also, If you have deer, they will laugh as they jump that single 6-foot fence to eat your tomatoes. 😆 Maybe look into double fencing (or make it opaque - they supposedly won't jump when they can't see where they're gonna land. ) Happy spring.🙂

[@jerrystout3032]

Yeah THOSE weeds in compost pile will just recycle back into the Garden??????

[@johngastineau653]

But Rebecca, the snakes will eat the mice. 😊😊😊. Also you can see a hawk flying above the barn towards the end of the video. Sorry about the duckling, sounds like survival of the fittest.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Hey there ! Rebekah you're like a pro on the tractor ! I had all confidence in your ability to figure it out ! You go girl ! You're an inspiration to me ! We have a new RK 37. ..TYM makes the RK tractors...we haveva front loader too but I haven't embarked on that yet ! I'm so impressed with you handling that front loader ! ! 🤗 Look at you go ! I'm just smiling away at your expertise ...esp as a rookie ! My husband's sitting here cheering u on ! He keeps saying " good for you ! good for you ! " Good job you guys ! Team work is the best ! My husband and I work together all the time ! We don't have a farm but we have 17 acres up north in the middle of Michigan that we dabble in food plots and cutting and dragging trails including grading dirt roads in our cottage nighborhood....lolol...closest we can get to our farm dream..lolol...we love watching your videos ! God bless you both ! 😊

[@healthandwellness1707]

Excellent job of dumping that soil into the raised bed w/ the bucket...most ppl don't account 4 the pitch of the dump...u went in farther b4 starting the dump...

[@donaldshields2483]

I watch all of your videos. I really enjoy them and your wife did a very good job on the tractor and you do too but you both are very hard workers and you do excellent work so keep up the good work and I will keep watching I’m lover in a little town here in Maineby the name of Turner and it’s kind of a farm community but the city people are coming after us so I will keep watching God bless

[@philstocks7859]

I hope you don't have snapping turtles in your pond. Snapping turtles can wreak havoc with your baby ducks. My suggestion is to kill every snapping turtle you can. 12 gauge works well. You can also catch them with heavy trot lines. Use heavy wire leaders and treble hooks. Any type of meat works well as bait. Get rid of the snapping turtles and you will have a much better survival rate with your baby ducks.

[@spacehonky6315]

Bet you've got a snapping turtle in the pond. IMHO, it's a more likely explanation for missing ducks than a bass.

[@stehan1422]

Hey Rebekah, great job on the tractor. Things will become smoother the more time you spend on the TYM. It will all become second nature. You mentioned that your hatchlings went from 4 to 3 in bill-count. A pond your size must have many Snapping Turtles in there. I am pretty sure that the momma duck probably fed at least a turtle or maybe another critter-getter but I would like to see all of the little ones grow up to be bigger full size quackers. We all know Mother Nature has a way of balancing out some animals headcount. Anyway love the videos, maybe the tiller, if not too big for the smaller TYM, can be used by your better half. Take care

[@joketendam5806]

Great job becca

[@Titus-as-the-Roman]

That's the problem with baby ducks, once they do move into the water the predators increase by a factor of 2-3, all kinds of big fish will take baby ducks but the real danger comes from a variety of Turtles, in areas of high duck populations Snapping Turtles will feed on nothing else.

[@captnsquid8151]

Rebekah, Please wear proper foot wear. You will after something drops on your foot. Steel toe comfortable boots I have had that happen and just lucky. But it hurt my foot for 6 months, Not a happy time,,

[@LloydJones-p7e]

Rebecca, I’m with you, the only good snake is a dead snake. Great job and video!👍👍👍🐍🐍🐍

[@ssfoste]

Rebeca you picked it up fast and do very well, you will be the #1 tractor dirver in the future, sorry Evan. Heck she is already becoming the #1 tree trimmer.

[@clevelandknight1094]

Good job just need work boots

[@peterslight2291]

Rebekah in flip-flops & Evan in work boots, that’s women for yah 😂😂 great job on the tractor though !

[@workhardlivefree3818]

I lost ducklings that were naturally raised by the momma... drowned. Was heart breaking to discover

[@larryopperman4227]

Evan, you mentioned you were going to lay down new fabric. If you didn't buy it yet, I'd recommend you get the extra wide typar road underlayment which you can get up to 17 feet wide. I used this in my garden and it works great with fewer seams for weeds to sprout through. Much easier to overlap and pin to the ground. Good luck.

[@judihux287]

Loved what was on Rebecca's hat...God is good all the time! Great job working that tractor! BTW the only good snake is a dead one! We enjoy your videos! We live in the country with a pond in the front yard. We have Canada geese that lay and hatch their babies. We had 5 born two weeks ago. They are a lot of fun to watch. Garden has been planted and already coming up!

[@urhkmet]

Whatttt!! Snake on your homestead

[@jimnaz5267]

Rebekah, You really need to wear boots to protect you feet. It is way too easy to injure the bones of your feet doing farm/yard work in flip flops. this is especially true when you are pushing or pulling as the flip flops could easily fail and you would fall hard and wrong. Evan, You need INSIST that she protect her feet with proper footwear. Other than that thanks for sharing another great video

[@peterm6128]

Rebekah is a great worker, but Evan you should insist she wear appropriate footware when working around equipment and lifting heavy items around the farm yard.

[@marvincombs1928]

You could have went all year and not mention or show Flippin snakes. I'm with Rebecca there bud you just keep them up there and we'll be good.

[@johnnypurkey7545]

I've been watching your videos for a while didn't realize I hadn't subscribed so I subscribed great video the very best thing I seen is Rebecca's cap your a blessed man.

[@marilynwiley9882]

I would keep the Baby Ducks off the Pond because Turtles will Eat them!!!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Yep, she has the tractor fever, your not going to keep her off of it! Good to see her enjoy that tractor, most enjoy driving one for sure. Maya is a doll, she is so cute. Good luck on the garden, we're just getting started on ours, just have potatoes planted. Thanks for the fun video, have a nice week.

[@cgjamma]

Good work guys!

[@jazminm.c.5932]

Maybe you could 2 cattle gates in the garden where u tore the fence and have them swing out and also extend the top by welding another foot to the top so aminals can't jump over.

[@stevengullison410]

Stop showing them,I would not be helping you.Don’t like them even on the video lol. I jumped all most out of my chair

[@southerndiesels]

Can anyone tell me what the benefit is to having a raised bed? Everybody I know who has one can't answer that. Is it just an aesthetic thing to look nice or does it actually have a practical beneficial application? Seems like to me it just gets in the way of a tractor and just causes extra unnecessary maintenance

[@rypkepaulusma]

Love to see Rebekah on the tractor, but hate to see her working and driving on flipflops. On our farm that was an absolute no-go.

[@DPW55]

Cat fish EAT ducks ,I said that they will decimate your fish stock and ya ducklings , 😒

[@debhart2996]

Instead of putting the weeds from garden to compost...why not give to the animals to eat. They might enjoy that.

[@ssautospec]

Morning !!
