Good to have Guinea fowl on your property. They eat ticks and other parasites. Your video's are the best!!

[@authorcharlieboring]

When I was a teenager in Anson, Texas, I typically worked at the Ice House during the summer. My younger brother did not have a job and asked if he could work at the ice house in my place; so, I found another job, tearing down an old barbed-wire fence and building a new one. I worked with two friends and the greatest obstacles were the rattlesnakes, the prickly pears and the mesquite trees. The days were above 100 degrees, but that was normal.

Good to see Lorraine helping with the fence! 👏👏👏

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Sow the Land videos!

[@stanleygallman7800]

Grow stuff, build stuff and repeat all good things that come in time are so much worth the wait. Love the most recent direction and consistency of the channel. Great job Sow the Land 😊

[@LadysFarm]

Team Work Makes The Dream Work! ❤❤❤

[@terrihinton7126]

Saying prayers for the crops Lorraine.great video y'all

[@mgtmoffat8411]

Another task completed. What a team! 💕💕🌻🌻

[@leannekenyoung]

Ohhh your piglets are soooo sweet and the colors are sooo varied!! Way to go zeke you throw some beautiful babies!! Of course Elvira is an amazing momma too! Lorraine I hope your plants survive the cold, they should. But just in case be sure to tell them to GROW! lol! 😂🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Jason and Lorraine! Your fence is coming right along. The piglets are so cute! A very pleasant day in the life video.

[@terryhenderson424]

Around here, pudding water means that the water can't drain down or move through underground erosion channels. Here, it means hard pan, compacted gray clay, or a boulder.

[@debrezo58]

Great job Lorraine and Jason! 👍💖👏

[@5GreenAcres]

I just adore you guys! What a wholesome family. I really like how you give close ups of your projects with builds. As a 66 yr old female homesteader I would like to see how you connect the horizontal posts to the vertical posts. Thanks for your content.

[@honiebird3789]

Such a peaceful Sunday afternoon video. Thank you!

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stvooplayhouse]

Both of you work so good together.

[@belieftransformation]

Wonderful teamwork; thanks for sharing your progress! Those piglets make me so happy! The older ones are still darn cute, too! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@brendayokum5666]

You guys work so well together love watching you ❤️

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

Your so lucky the wife came to help! I ask my wife to help me do outside work. She looks at me, help me with homeschooling. Teach the kids Spanish! 😂😂😂😂

[@jimpokorny4598]

Jason, That was soooo funny when Lorraine's tongue slipped S***. That has to be a classic, I loved it. 👍

[@kriskloeblen3670]

Where has old Randy been? Miss seeing around the homestead …he’s so helpful!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Your piglets are so cute, Jason. They sure are fast for one week old. Fence won't be long now before it is complete. I am sure you will be happy about that. Thanks for sharing the spring update in the garden area. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@greenmouseguard]

Jason and Lorraine, I love you both. Your videos are awesome. I truly enjoy watching every step of your expansion of your beautiful farm, thank you for sharing💋❤️🙏 Linda from Ct

[@SowtheLand]

thanks

[@PatrickPoet]

Y'all are both such hard workers:) A couple of times I've been in a relationship with someone that wasn't and it gets really frustrating. I wish more people had the attitude y'all have of always being willing to pitch in and always willing to learn things as you need them. Thanks for your good example.

[@patriciaterry5539]

Incredible hard team work! Excellent job!❤❤❤

[@gailbrault9251]

You are correct! Those new kunnies are so cute!

[@gypsiegyrl4007]

You two always inspire me to keep moving forward with projects on my property. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the gardens full this year....bet they'll be even better than last year.

[@catsmother4556]

The bit you were trenching probably puddles up because it is so hard and compacted, the water cant soak away into the soil. The poly tunnel is looking great with all its new growing beds.

[@BobbieJeanM]

Piglets are so cute! Away from Elvira they look like big kielbasa, next to her they look like tiny vienna sausages! 😉💕

[@Sewtired]

I remember my mom saving tomato juice cans and buying all sorts of stuff to keep June frost from our veggies. I lived on the Canadian prairies. Fun times. Short summers with long days.

[@christinelarkin8054]

A bit of a word of wisdom, on an electric fence. You need to have some ground wires in there, you don't want all hot. It won't be as efficient on getting the point across. You need to put some breaker switches in a few places, so when you have a short or break in fence you don't have to go clear back to the charger to turn it off.

[@lynh8378]

Y'all crack me up working together...have a great day!

[@JohnSmith-lp7px]

I am always watching your videos and just realized I wasn’t subscribed I fixed that issue

[@SowtheLand]

50% of people watching are NOT subscribed to my channel. You are not the only. thank you

[@JohnSmith-lp7px]

@@SowtheLand So I picked 3 random videos of yours and watched the beginning and end of each video. You didn’t ask anyone to subscribe in any of the three that I watched. I recommend you start incorporating asking people to hit the subscribe button at the end of every video and see if that helps. If you don’t remind people they just move on to the next video.

[@LB-gr7gu]

Always such a good idea having a good friend Mike 🎉 and you are both an amazing connection always ❤

[@bingo45373]

Jason you are correct every day you do on the fencing is one step closer to be done

[@Miguel195211]

Good teamwork! Nice to see the piglets.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i like it every ones ready for bed lol all the pigs teens to babies are cute hugsssss

[@janicew6222]

We tried 3 times to raise guinea fowl, never could keep them home lol. They are excellent 'alarm' animals letting you know if something is around and eat tons of ticks, but I just wasn't successful at keeping them. You really accomplished a lot this winter.

[@noelgraham4607]

One showed up at our place and stuck around, as we fed it, for a couple weeks. It disappeared as quick as it came. Checked with as many neighbors as I could and no one knows who it belonged to.

[@kendraivie4065]

I raised mine with Turkeys. They bonded and now follow the turkeys to bed.

[@ricardoh3178]

We raise our with our chicks and they stick around. They even go into the coop at night with them. Give they a shot if you haven’t.

[@debinbc]

Congratulations the fence looks good and covering the plants is agreat idea til temps come back the homestead is looking awesome 🙏 ❤

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@user-yw5fz4gw9z]

Nice job on your self relient homestead garden and fenceing,love fr Can.

[@keithprinn720]

nice work making connections to send charge to all strands, feed those guineas and they will come back lol

[@ginnysulya9805]

Hey Jason and Lorraine the fence is really coming along! Great job! Your piglets running through the grass reminded me of Guinea pigs! So cute! I hope you get through the frost without any damage. I agree with Lorraine so hard to put time and energy into seedlings to have a temperature drop/frost take them out! I am still 2 weeks away from planting out my cold hardy plants getting them hardened off this week but even going from sunroom without heat can make them Willy! 🙃😜😝 kinda makes me crazy! Peace and blessings! 💚💚💚🤗

[@marthabartel604]

Piglets are huge. The temperature is perfect for the season.

[@maddogair]

Refill the trench with some gravel

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Jason and Brooke thanks you for showing your video homestead bye

[@patbwi5871]

If you havea rototiller, you can break up the soil and then create your trench. I learned the hard way once.

[@clarencewiles963]

Shocking good crossing 😊

[@cindyabbe]

Conduit's the way to go for underground hot wires❤😊

[@jlfamilyfarm2190]

Wow wow wow ...looking at your green green grass compared to what you started with is definitely insprational. You have your place looking amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

I was thinking of getting Guinee's but a friend told me they wander very far from home and tend to be easily picked off by predators, dogs mostly. She also said the neighbors get upset when they are in their garden.

[@MotherNature3]

Guinea fowl can travel up to 2 miles from their home on a daily basis and are very good at hunting ticks.

[@deborahparnell8862]

Such a blessing..ty..xoxo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@camicri4263]

Hello Jason and Loraine! Great job you guys! Blessings!

[@kristybishop3286]

I so enjoy your channel, real homesteading!

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

It's looking great! Keep up the good work! -Mike

[@markpashia7067]

Enjoy the benefits of ginnie fowl if they roost in the trees they will eat an insane number of ticks.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Jason, Insert at the end of each video a quick reminder (like Al Lumnah does) to Subscribe, Like, Comment and to turn on the Notification Bell and that it's FREE. There are so many new people to social media that don't know that subscribing is FREE. Also sometimes When I got to the end of the video I would forget to Like and leave a Comment. Recommending 2 other videos at the end is awesome.

[@5GreenAcres]

I can't believe "they" have succeeded in switching the weather. I am in Wi and have the same eve temps. Mostly in the 40's at night. I do the same thing with my meat birds. Keep them under heat to insure no loss. More humane too.

[@sgrvtl7183]

Good Luck with your garden seedlings~~glad you covered them. Fencing looks good!

[@thechannel9542]

I want some crops sowed in the ground. Get this man a tractor!

[@SowtheLand]

Lol

[@debinbc]

Nua, get Lorraine one lol

[@Hobocreekfarm]

I like the way you did the daisy chain connection. Smart idea sir.

[@howlingwolf2543]

Gunea fowl removes ticks and other parasites from your animals.

[@karenweidauer6861]

Great job on the fence! Argo from Sirius radio in Memphis said there were Guinea fowl at his chicken coup today. He and his neighbours do not raise them, have no idea where they came from.

[@TexasTime827]

You guys rock!

[@SowtheLand]

you rock!!!

[@bevhackney6849]

Might be an idea to place some gravel over the trench. It is a bog when it rains because of the clay in the .soil

[@marthabartel604]

Over kill on that gate, but you are an.a that way. And we love it. You guineysare a blessing keep.

[@marygonzales2373]

Love watching you and love you tunnel. Wondering where Lorraine parents are? Believing they are well.❤

[@joannmahaffey1068]

Another great video. Little pigs are co cute. Can't wait to see that fence working..... as in animals in predators out..lo

[@jerrybrady9103]

Your farm has went through a nice transformation in the last couple years! A lot of hard work and a good job! 😊 The Guineas probably won't hurt anything on your farm, since they will fly over a fence and roost in trees.

[@stevepoppitz8248]

Jason, You may want to disconnect the bottom two or three wires of your electric fence. As the weeds grow up they will lay on those wires and want to ground , or short out the system. Old farmers will agree with me. Keep up the good work.

[@SowtheLand]

But then they are not hot. Dog can get through it.

[@stevepoppitz8248]

@@SowtheLand ok, but you should know where the short-outs will probably come from now. LOVE your Kune Kune piglets. they are certainly easier to deal with than the typical hyper-active Yorkies. PS my daddy was a pig farmer long ago. We feed our "cull Apples" to the hogs, and everyone in our church wanted to buy our hogs in the fall. ps ; let people know you are feeding your stock better than average food ( start more fruit trees now )

[@lindajoe9862]

Thes babies are getting cuter❤

They're all the cute ones, Jason! Shhh... 😂

[@jbbrown7907]

Make sure your conduit pipe can't get water in it.

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

Great team work

[@patriciaterry5539]

Awesome team work!

[@charlesswann146]

I have buried enough cables to run your farm and as far as you went is ok but go back and daub some silicone sealant on the stripped back and unstripped back junction of your electrical wire. Eventually, if you did not water would migrate down the sleeve albeit it would take years but this is a lifetime homestead, not a ten-year homestead.

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks for the tip

[@janetwithers7427]

Team work, makes the Dream work. ❇️💞❇️

[@loulauer5853]

When I use the frost cloth, I've discovered (unfortunately) that I need to have an air gap between the cloth and the plant. If it's touching the plant and it gets frost on it, it effectively just passes that frost to the places where it's touching plants. At least that has been my experience. Maybe I was just unlucky or the frost was a really hard one.

[@SowtheLand]

Correct, hard frost we would be doing mini hoops.

[@RandyLee-om4ni]

I have used hot barbed wire
