I Reckon The Weeds Gotta Grow Too | Homestead Vlog | May 22, 2024

Today we are trying to get some garden work done before even more rain heads our way. The weeds are about to take our corn field. I am also cooking a farm to table supper tonight with canned venison, green beans, homemade biscuits and the best chocolate chip cookies! You can find the recipes below!
Simple Biscuits
2 cups self rising flour
3-4 Tbsp of lard or crisco
Sprinkle of salt
1 cupish of buttermilk
Set oven to 425 degrees. Preheat your pan. Cut lard into flour until there are pieces no bigger than the size of a pea. Add milk, mix until you see no more dry flour, then stop. Remove pan from oven, grease with lard or butter. Flour your hands, make a ball of dough the size of biscuits you want, place on pan. Flatten slightly. Bake around 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are as brown as you want them :)
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups AP flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 Tbsp melted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 whole egg
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Set oven to 325 degrees. Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a small bowl. In a larger separate bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Add egg, yolk and vanilla to sugar mixture, mix until all is combined. Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Spoon out mixture using a tablespoon onto cookie sheet. Bake for around 15 minutes until the edges are slightly brown and middle is still gooey. Allow to cool on cookie sheet. Enjoy!

I just want to commend you all on the quality of life your giving your children. I enjoy watching the time you give your children and with every job they do how you praise and encourage them to learn. These are the lessons that our children can use to be better adults. Thank you for sharing. Love to the family.

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

I agree wholeheartedly! They are raising their children right. Jacob is a little man and Maggie is a sweetheart. Both are willing and helpful. It blesses me to see such a wholesome family. May God bless them.

[@trevawilson5086]

Love your channel. If more children were being taught the way you are raising yours the world would be a better place ❤

[@PaulineLyons]

Absolutely agree! Makes you wish life could go back in time. Meghan and Andy you are doing life right.

[@gailoreilly1516]

I just love the way you are raising your children. They are growing up to be helpful and competent adults. Good job!

[@Last_Chance.]

Meagan you truly are the perfect woman. I pray that one day I can find a queen like you to give my heart to and share my life and grow old with.

[@KathyTrussell]

"Til it feels right, and your ancestors tell you to quit." That's right, sister!

[@kennethvaughan8195]

My goodness, Maggie running the camera !!! Best narrating I’ve ever heard. Precious

[@GETCH1-hz9fq9bw9b]

Oh my goodness, watching Jacob is like watching myself at his age driving the tractor, working in the woods, 70 years ago in Maine

[@lisabooker6405]

I SO want you to continue to succeed here on KZbin. I will tell anyone to come check you out. You're an amazing family, hard-working and smart as a whip, and those babies of yours just melt this ole grandma’s heart. So sweet and they're such good little helpers. I pray the good Lord continues to bless you all. Ty for sharing your knowledge and work ethic. I pray it is picked up by more and more young people. Love, hugs and blessings ~Lisa

[@jimharris4740]

My grandfather, who would be 132 years old next month, told me when I was about 7 years old that if a garden would not grow weeds it wouldn't grow a garden. I've been growing a garden for over 70 years and would like to share some of my knowledge sometime

[@2003-2fitty]

Jim we would love to hear your advise on gardening! My grandma would have been 122 years old this next month! I learned load of wisdom from that precious little lady. I love anything the elder generation could share with all of us! God bless. Leslie-Alabama

[@danabaker596]

Would love to hear the knowledge you have! My Grandpa's gardens were his pride and joy. He spent every morning and evening at his gardens. I learned so much, but would love to hear more from you.

[@lorettawinters3872]

God bless our grandparents 💗

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

Love watching your garden progress. I always learn a little something from you guys. I hope your garden does well this season!

[@paoemantega8793]

I’m 51 years old, grew up in California with Idaho values. My daddy taught me to drive a stick at 7 years old. Save money for a rainy day, don’t waste what you have reuse an item if you can. I have a garden and chickens.

[@mikeanderson7165]

Absolutely love how y’all live off of what y’all grow y’all raise on pork reminds me off my childhood growing up as my grandma an grandpa did. Delicious.

[@dlewis895]

YALL. CK OUT. NOT JUST FARMERS. GREAT SOLITIONS. LIKE HOW STORE POTATOES AND OTHER THINGS THAT REALLY CREATIVE WAYS THAT WORK +GOD BLESS THEM THEY DIDNT GROW UP WITH TEACHERS LIKE YALL

[@marilynwitherell186]

Maggie did a great job as the camera person.

[@ElectricSoul828]

I love watching your videos. I wish I lived in an area like yours, I despise the city. I hate San Diego. God bless you and your family.

[@cheryllamb8831]

San Diego is not the city I grew up in anymore! We left there in '73. I couldn't live there @ all. The country is a much better place to be. All these years later I now am in Western North Carolina.

[@chuckg9805]

Railroader tip - time to dry - put the bib straps - one in each front top pocket, snap them closed and you be amazed how quiet the drier is. Great videos, thanks.

[@destinyandpurpose]

This was the best video!! I love watching you both teach Jacob and Maggie how to do things. I appreciate the fact that you give them a chance to learn and always encourage their efforts, regardless of the outcome. I think that is how children should be taught. I enjoyed watching Andy change up his attachments on the tractor, and I am learning more about tractors every video, lol. That supper of venison with the gravy over top a biscuit had my mouth watering ready for a bite. I will try making my biscuits this way next time. I hate the mess of rolling and cutting them out. That tater patch is beautiful, and the watermelons are really growing, mine barely have their 2nd set of leaves. Maggie and Jacob are good with the camera. Love your family and your lifestyle, God Bless!

[@whiskeywomanwhisks]

Your kiddos🥰🥰🥰. We only have 1 of 5 still home-he’s 15-I sure miss a house full of littles!

You Guys make my Heart Smile 😉 I love the way you’re including your children & teaching them Good Qualities with love… I learned a few things today.

[@terrysims4028]

I just subscribed I like seeing family working side by side may God bless you daily.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning over there. Sure enjoyed the video with all you've been busy with. Sure enjoyed the meal you prepared today also , sure ate a lot of the same except for the cookies while we lived in Colorado. Sure miss that part of Colorado but had to leave the altitude so I could breathe better. The gardens look great and hope the give you all a big harvest in return for your hard work. Maggie Mae is going to be the great cook in a few years, she sure enjoys helping you and Jacob is doing great farming too. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and fun you all have around there. Fred.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I think that you have a great looking garden and I can’t wait to see ya gather up your potatoes

[@carrieruston1964]

Everything looks beautiful in the garden lots of work rainy weather here in southern Ontario 🇨🇦 enjoy your evening relax with family time

[@LionsOfHope-23]

Don't know how to tell you how deeply I enjoy your channel. I am one of 12 children (from MA); our Dad was from WV. Sadly, he died young, leaving Mom w/ all 12 of us (ages 1-20). In my formative years ('til age 6 when he passed) I heard that similar accent from my beloved Daddy. So, there's that. Then, my Hubby & I enjoy so much about your channel: the family values, the work ethic, your personalities. We got completely dedicated, though, when we heard you belting out those hymns w/ your Mom & children 🫶🏼 LUV Hymns - churches simply don't sing them enough anymore (that's nothing but a crying shame). So, bless you Meagan, Andrew, & young'uns - may GOD bless you 🤗 ✝️ 🛐

[@douglasmartin6770]

I really enjoyed it

[@tommyperkinshuntingfishing8424]

I hope the good Lord blesses yall for all the effort yall put in on them melons.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

[@dlewis895]

YALL GIVE ME HOPE PEACE FOR FUTURE..STAY CLOSE TO THE LAND ALWAYS WISE SO. HUGE SELF ESTEEM BUILDING FOR YOUR SON

[@randyrejer4219]

You guys have turned into one of my favorite channels.

[@cheryllamb8831]

Bless y'all! You do life right. Hard working and teaching your children to enjoy this lifestyle. The kids are learning & taking on responsibility better than many adults. I really enjoy your videos as it makes my day! Thank you. Have a good Memorial Day weekend.

[@gingerzeringue697]

YEP That's how country kids learn to drive. Mine was a Cub Cadet riding mower and then moved up to the tractor. Then I drove the farm truck in the fields and picked up the hay

[@mint2bee689]

There's nothing more i can say that hasn't already been said in several of the comments. Love your videos, love your kids and how you are raising them, love that you are down to earth and are the real deal. We just plain love ya'll ❤❤❤ can't wait to meet you some day, maybe we will run into you at River Rock or the Front Porch Creamery sometime.

[@lilliepad2535]

Im watching an episode, and before i know it. Im bindge watching. I usually dont care for couple vlogs. They can be very annoying. But you both are great teachers. I dont understand most of the time lol. But keep up the good work.

[@devinc923]

Stumbled across y’all’s channel a few days ago. Been about all I’ve watched in the evenings since. Really enjoy the content. Thanks from south Louisiana!

[@Donna592]

Enjoyed the video

[@edwardpotter8342]

Love seeing your Son drive the tractor I'm 53 I remember my grandpa letting me do that about his age That's what young men need a good positive adult male To be in there life & teach them So glad to see the tradition of teaching certain ways being carried on Also young ladies need that strong male figure in there life To guide & protect them especially when they start dating...lol I know my daughter is now 25 Far as a strong Female Mom Can't say enough about Moms& grandma's God Bless you all 🙏

[@paulanelson1884]

Love love your channel/videos! Just watched your dill pickle video! Didn’t know you had a cookbook! So I just ordered your cookbook! Excited to read all your recipes! Seems like we cook a lot a like! 😊

[@lisahamby5096]

Your cookie recipe was a hit with my family. Thanks for sharing

[@dalemcisaac1395]

Something to take note of is the use of grazeon which some hay farmers use on their fields to kill weeds. It is absorbed into the hay ,if the hay is put in the garden as compost or ground cover it will poison the ground and kill the vegetable plants . The lady from Cosmopolitan Cornbread on UT had this happen to her garden . Cheers to you and your family from northern Canada .

[@foxecarpentress4964]

Great! Train them young to farm. It’s fun with tractors like that!!! 🙌 😇🤴😇 🙌

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@DWerkens]

We love garlic scrapes! We blanch them and then chop up fine and then make a compound butter. Once rolled and ice cold, slice and then freeze. Great on steak and pork chops, but i can tell you it is great on anything and everything!

[@cindyr1250]

Y'all are so good at growing sunflowers, have you ever thought of selling them? I had a local flower shop trying to buy mine one year. My sister is getting married next month and has lots of sunflowers ordered for the wedding. People love and will buy flowers. Flower shops also love white flowers

[@Soggybottomnz]

I love this channel..

[@marieparks5674]

One of my jobs when I was little, on the farm, was driving the tractor when we picked our corn by hand. Daddy put blocks on the pedals so I could reach them. We had an old allis charmers that like to come up off its front wheels, didn’t like that tractor much.

[@kimberlybrininger2279]

I am so glad I found your channel! I love how real and down to earth you are. I get so tired of seeing you tubers who are always looking to "create content". I feel like they are so fake. I stumbled across your channel by accident. I had no way of knowing you to look for ya, but there you were one day, and I have been trying to catch up ever since. Keep doing it your way. The old ways, and usually the hard way ❤

[@kathleentressler9225]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can I take Maggie home with me? What a sweetie! And your little man Jason is all farm boy!

[@colleengiles9251]

Maggie is full of personality

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

I've tried for three years to get grow carrots they never have her grow the only year they grew was in my garden bed and then the rats ate them all glad to carrots all through everywhere this year if they don't come up I'm never planning carrots again it's easier just to buy the things
