The things I can count on in a Hollar video: Buggy being cute, the boys climbing on stuff or helping out, Ben just building stuff off the top of his head, and Meg bringing it all together with something delicious! Nice! 👍 Always a joy to watch!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

So well said. You nailed it exactly.

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Exactly!

[@laurajanyoung3187]

They are such a joy.

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

That's why I'm subscribed.

[@happydaysfarm3853]

You forgot the ginger cat hanging with them as Ben worked. ❤

[@lisadixon2494]

Your young men are growing into such gentlemen, so fantastic around their sister and always helping with the chores. Whilst Buggy is stealing the cuteness awards, they boys are just being awesome. Love how you're just building the ends of the greenhouse how you need to. Blessing and best wishes to you all.

[@donnatrimble7439]

Raised with love

[@rebeccaveasey1603]

Look at Buggie sitting at the table between the boys! She's getting so big. And, her head laying the table, bowing in prayer, soooooo adorable!

[@avonna0117]

Little Miss Cutie Pie said the introduction so well. She is a pro already. All you guys rock.

[@tobycatVA]

Oh my goodness, Little sister killed me from the jump with cuteness overload. Then you go all nature documentary and get me rolling laughter. God bless and keep you Hollar Homestead clan, you always make my day brighter.

[@cevego7647]

"Good after noon people";-)that made my day!🤗

[@sharonbrown2352]

Oh that Buggy at the beginning. She melted my heart. We took our high tunnel and turned it into a green house. We bought a commercial greenhouse heater as well as a bunch of commercial fans. We grow in there all year round. We've spent the last four days getting it ready for fall/winter planting. I left the tomatoes and peppers. I've had the same pepper plants last over 3 years in there until I was like NO MORE Peppers...I pulled them out. I put some peppers in there this past Spring and I suspect those plants will last for years- this time I only put in 4 plants and not all of the ones I had in there before. LOL...Y'all are going to love it and as much as you love growing, I suspect you'll turn it into a greenhouse before it's all said and done. Beautiful family

[@heatherk8931]

I leave my peppers and tomatoes several years as well.

[@territn8871]

I think Lillyanna should start doing the intro everyday now!!! She is so precious! And she likes "a lot" of fish!! Love her heart🥰 I'm anxious to see how the greenhouse looks with the addition of end walls and doors!!!

[@jimstickle1157]

Bay leaves

[@pamt7740]

What a delightful opening shot lol. She has always been comfortable with the camera from being tiny!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Love it when Ben builds things. What a lovely family. ♥️

[@loricassata5259]

Isn’t it wonderful when you’ve had a grumpy day you can say “I’m not working today”Life is good!!!☺️

[@dianacollinson2424]

Luv seeing you all in your natural habitat!

[@mmurphy2317]

Their "true habitat" has turned them all into...true "tarheels!"...lol...

[@SuesSecretGarden3]

Buggy is so so adorable knows the routine she's so blessed to have four big brothers. Dinner looked wonderful.Thanks for sharing

[@miriam2909]

CRIKEY...... what a great family! Can't wait to see the green house finished.

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

This was the best opening yet!! I loved it. You got that frame together fast. As always, thanks for sharing!

[@carolcalf2032]

Love your family vibe. Your brilliant boys helping when needed, the amazing Meg making the food we all want to eat, the wonderful buggy who has captured all our hearts and the you Ben who always show us how to overcome some building problem or other. Well done family. Watched you almost from your first videos and you don’t let us down. Thank you

[@TheFamilyFarmstead]

She is growing so darn fast. Just adorable.

[@deborahkelley4719]

Great job, little one. She's growing up so fast. Your green house it's coming along, Meg you always prepare great meals for your family. Wishing you well. Blessings from VA ❤️

[@stellacontreras7740]

Buggy is just adorable, I love the way the boys just take care of her. How she is living a toddler's life. She is like a beautiful wild flower, totally being who God made her. A flower child. I can truly relate to that . And your boys just being little men helping dad. What memories they are going to pass on to their families one day and Ben help his mom in the kitchen, what balance these kids are. And beautiful Mommy under the weather but still keep taking care of her family. What amazing 💕 Love. And Streagth she has. Proverbs 31. And the praying 🙏 before a meal is like Icing on the cake. Love it Thanks for sharing. The memories of my childhood is just dancing though my thoughts. God and Family first. God Bless this beautiful Godly family Lord.🙏❤️💪👍🤗 Pour down the Blessing on each one of them. 🎶

[@moonwillowschronicle5435]

Great video. Hope Meg is feeling better. She looked exhausted, but being sick will do that to ya. Buggy is growing up so fast! She is a lady after my own heart. I love fish too. 💖🐟

[@lisamadison2671]

Every day with the Hollars is a good day.

[@GardeningwithPurpose329]

Aww, Buggy so cute! Great idea to flip it over those plastic before cutting. 👍

[@laruedouglas1064]

If I can Meg, I leave the skins on the potatoes what ever I use them for. Your green house is going to be an original 😉.

[@dianebeckner884]

That onion tip is an old tip that used to be given to young brides at their shower, according to my mom. The sweet potatoes look great!

[@Lauren-hc7dc]

I think you do better making your own stuff rather then buying. You are very talented both you and Meg.

[@jerrybrady9103]

Love that little Buggy, she doesn't seem to be camera shy at all. 👏🙂

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

I absolutely love what I call your working song. Oh, my goodness, she's pouring butter on the fish!! Love your kids, they are great. Yummy dinner, as usual.

[@AlecCapel]

It's been so heartwarming to see all the boys hair growing out to be like daddy's lol

[@JLBellwriter]

It’s like opening an issue of “Tiger Beat” magazine from 1978. (And that cultural reference dates me terribly.)

[@mmurphy2317]

Their kids got the "good hair gene" from both mom and dad!

[@mygreenindoorgarden]

Love the beautiful little greeting ... "good afternoon ... people"

[@italiana626sc]

Buggy's not in her high chair!! Love how the boys interact with her and each other.

[@dollyperry3020]

Your baby is turning into a young lady. I can't believe how she has grown!

[@villagesteader3552]

You, baby girl are a natural in front of the camera! ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

[@deebeeeff]

Nice episode. It was nice to see the family eating dinner at normal speed. Also, the two youngest boys must have Hobbit feet with soles of leather as much as they go around with no shoes. :)

[@denisebozung126]

Very glad that Meg is sounding a little bit better, but you probably would benefit from few days in bed. But wouldn't we all? Wishing you all the best.

[@MidnyghtGamer4944]

That's great that the boys were helping you build the ends. It's great experience for them. I'll never forget helping my parents build an addition to our house when I was a kid.

[@wheaties1435]

Buggie,,, so cute! … and, really.,,,it’s the farm wife in her natural habitat….😂😂😂😂😂

[@marlenekutcher938]

Maybe you should have added … an endangered species (farm wife). Lol. Great way to start video. Being in my greenhouse always makes me return to my “happy self. I found a used great glass / screen door for $10.00❤ for my former greenhouse at a door replacement company; who were refitting doors in a motel. Never feel bad about feeing bad. It’s great seeing you all with the same issues we all have. Hoping you are all feeling better. 😊🇨🇦🫂♥️

[@MsBee777]

I absolutely love that your children love going barefoot! That is how I have been all my life too! I only wear shoes when I have to go out into public places, stores, offices, and when I drive. Good job on preparing the bananas for baking and good job on the green house framing for the door way! It's so good to see the daily/weekly progress you're all doing. Thanks for sharing.

[@dorisgrainger9692]

Me too and if I can wear flip flops I do 😉😉

[@janicepauley429]

Meg looks at you Ben soooooo lovingly! It makes my day seeing you both interact ❤️❤️🌹🌹

[@hopedeclared3673]

I know I’m late but seeing Buggy sitting at the table is just so sweet 🥲 May Jesus continue to bless this wonderful family 🙏

[@tubularguynine]

Ok...Buggie is now officially TOO cute! ♥- Great work on the high tunnel ends! I put a banana in the freezer just to get it good and cold to eat...and forgot about it. So before I went to bed, I put it in the fridge, and in the morning I cut the end off, squeezed it out like toothpaste into a bowl with some pancake flour, milk and a piled up tbs, of pecan flour and made a giant pancake! 😋

[@susiesalazar7360]

You have a beautiful family. Have a wonderful evening.

[@carmelreed6569]

She is so adorable and precious

[@heatherk8931]

Gosh, so many good things. Buggie had me smiling, then Ben had me laughing! Meg-> if you're saying things smell good, you must finally be feeling better. Yea❣❣🥳

[@jenniferbarter1254]

Oh My Goodness Buggy is getting so BIG!! Where has the time gone ? seems like she was just born yesterday!! And the boys interaction with her is just so precious!! Lots of Love from Northern NH

[@cwade1672]

Seeing the boys hanging on what your building shows how well made you finish things, as usual nice to see all your family on the videos.

[@cherylt8590]

The end wall is turning out good on the greenhouse nice job Ben,and to your helpers, and that fish🐟 looked yummy 👍😊...

[@mmurphy2317]

I thought the 'taters looked top notch, too... but then that's just the Irish side of me🤣🙃😂🙂🙃🙂👀...truth be known...I'm convinced that Meg could take common field hay and make it smell and taste wonderful..with her culinary skills(and a wee bit of strained bacon "drippings", as they were called in my family. All in all...another Hollarrific video‼️ So glad they are well!

[@christyleigh696]

"So nice and gloomy and cloudy." Yes! The perfect day for working outside!

[@CS-bn4un]

Praise God for what He has done in your marriage and family! The joy of just working and being together as man and wife, then parents, is just plain to see. After watching this video, I went back over two years ago and watched your birth story and introduction of little Lilliana (sp?) to us, then was reminded of your earlier videos as you shared your journey so vulnerably. I pray for more families like you all to remain steadfast and true, fight for their families and raising them up to provide for themselves while learning truly helpful skills. Most importantly for families who will honor the covenant of marriage as established by God and raising their kids under His leadership for the Lord's glory in our mixed-up and crazy world! Will you please pray for a young couple close to my heart - God knows who they are - that are not seeking to do whatever it takes, esp one of them, to fight for the marriage and commitment they made before God? p.s. Buggie's intro was just too cute, but those big bros are becoming such wonderful young men it seems! I commit to praying for them like a grandmother they'll never meet!

[@Skultimos]

Lol I love the bell for the kids! Reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandma would call us home with an old cow bell!

[@tammyhaeske2016]

Hope you all get up to 100% feel better soon

[@maiyetri]

Plumbers tape works really well for attaching wood framing to the pipes of the greenhouse. Looks amazing.

[@StoneKathryn]

Okay that you had an exhaustive day running around yesterday and you didn't film. I like how you are taking steps to figure out your gable end. Good idea Meg to freeze the bananas in batches of 4 each. I usually use 4 for 2 loaves of banana bread too. I like that you're putting in two treated upright posts. The framing so far looks great! Meg, awesome dinner. I love the little fingerling sweet potatoes you made. That fish looks so good. Thanks for this Hollar family.

[@janninehaslam9204]

Oh my goodness 😍 how cute is Buggy!!!! It absolutely melts my heart ❤ to see how precious your family are. You all work so hard to make life so much easier for yourselves. Its a privilege to be able to watch you all grow. Love and blessings to you all xjx

[@carlapierle8623]

If your little girl was any cuter, I think I'd melt! I'm glad you're feeling a little better, Meg, though you still look a bit peeked. The boys are such a big help to both Mom and Dad!

[@kathys9786]

Oh my goodness...that opening, so adorable! She is the cutest!

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Hiya family 💜 love the young lady 😘 Meg's in her happy place the kitchen and you are doing well in the green house my favourite project Ben keep on keeping on love Peter Cape town

[@virginiawisdom7170]

Best way to start the video with buggie saying hi.

[@colleenallen3382]

Buggy you are toooooo cute. Good afternoon to you too!🥰

[@miaf8393]

You got a VERY good advice in the beginning - insurance of your greenhouse. If it blow away. You do a good job but I also see some of the same mistakes I did - like a good groundwork (I didn´t measure/even it properly, forgot to put a soil/ground cloth under, and all started to sink in different directions...) It is so fun to se these fast-forward with the little one digging, running around, your monkey-boy who loves climbing and sitting on top of things, the co-work you do with the children... nothing prepared for watching (like some other channels when you can hear/see the children repeat something the parents tell them to do). You make my day when I need to get positive, again. 💛🧡❤ Keep up the good living loving and thanx to letting me share it!

[@denisewalsh9873]

Buggy is really talking. So cute. And I like the rest of the video too

[@christineclapham6579]

Oh my gracious... y'all have one special lil lady on your hands❤️. She is absolutely beautiful inside and out🤗. Y'all rock.... sincerely from central OH-IO

[@loreenhall2230]

Good afternoon to you to beautiful baby girl . you melt my heart 🤗🤗

[@jgivens1227]

Just love the kids, Buggy is growing so fast. So are the boys. I enjoy watching you build things. You show things I would of thought of or I couldn’t figure out how to do. Thanks!! Please take care and be safe

[@kathycortez232]

The youngest boy and buggie favor a lot those boys are hard workers tyfs hugs and prayers and much love

[@TXDHC]

Kid worthy ✔️ Looks great 👍 Good morning beautiful sister! 😍

[@believehimornot7195]

LOVE the intro . . with Buggy and Meg in her natural habitat. 😍😍😍

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Doing good. I really like the green house. Blessings

[@jo-sully-anne2418]

So excited for you guys as your greenhouse comes together. Great job Ben working that wood around the shape of the frame 👍🏻 Meg you are looking so much better and I am thankful for that 🙏

[@johnmcqueen4348]

Thanks for sharing another great video! Supper looked fantastic! It reminds me of my 3 brothers and our only sister having meals together with our parents! Only my sister and I left now! Enjoy every minute of it!

[@charlenebrown8573]

Your videos are a bright spot in my day. I am so happy you have such a loving family, that is everything. Even when you might think your videos might not have much content, they do! We lost our beautiful, bright, funny, talented son on October 12th and watching your videos are a true blessing. Hugs to all of you and please keep filming.

[@TheHollarHomestead]

I am so so sorry 😔

[@karenm5681]

Oh, Charlene! I am so sorry for your loss. ❤️‍🩹

[@russelltackett4779]

😪

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

I had a hoop greenhouse and I built an 8x12 potting shed on the other end.Seeing it was a 12' wide greenhouse, I put 2 - 4x8 pieces of siding on either side & left the center 4' open to the greenhouse. On the side I had a french door( I found dumpster diving on garbage day) which I only closed in the winter. On the other side, Built a double window on hinges that opened in over a 4x8' potting table. put pea gravel down, then laid (free) red brick for the floor for great sweeping & drainage. Had a water spigot inside as well. had shelves on the wall for pots and seed trays, and all the amendments etc. I daisy chained fluorescents down the ceiling of the greenhouse to work at night as well as the potting shed. Loved it. I only wish it was bigger to put my many garden tools in and a farm sink. It was a great shady spot to do any seed starting or repotting. You won't be sorry if you build one, think about it.

[@faithmayo1433]

So glad you all are feeling better. ❤

[@colleenallen3382]

Meg, Buggy is not a baby any more, she’s a little girl! …growing up soooo fast! I know ,…she is still the baby of the family. 🎀😊❤️

[@tammysarrazin7078]

love how buggy and munchy have the same curls around the hair near ears lol hugssss

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Meg, your fish dinner looked delicious! Ben, nice work on getting situated qith making a door for the high tunnel. Life is good!

[@brachashighhopeshomestead226]

I don't think I'm the only one who enjoys watching the clouds changing on the fast mode videoing, while you work out in the yaAAY!! new greenhouse. I LOVE potatoes with the skin on, the taste & the texture & fish too! we understand but missed visiting with you yesterday.

[@edithjohnson6835]

What a wonderful family. Always saying your prayers. Precious.❤️❤️

[@gailbrault9251]

That fish looked fantastic....now I want fish for dinner...lol

[@grandpaskitchen-andzentang2757]

So cool seeing your boys helping, memories being made!

[@Oururbanhomestead1966]

Could little Miss Buggy get any cuter ❤️❤️. Love the look on Megs face when Ben was impersonating Sir David Attenborough lol

[@sharonhaas8503]

Loved you video! Getting your greenhouse finished up is so nice to see. Dinner looked so good. All your own great food again. I think it is time to make myself something to eat. Be watching for your next video. Take care and stay safe. PS Jack, you are an amazing young gentleman helping your mom with those bananas. Pitching in is such a wonderful trait to have. Helping to lighten some else's load is the right move. Great job!

[@dianesnow9806]

You have a beautiful family Ben. Meg is truly a Proverbs 31 wife. Buggy is just the cutest as can be. Blessings 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

[@vivaldi1236]

Love the sous Chef…as well as the Construction Team…

[@mmegraham]

We have a little cooking song I sing when starting up dinner. It goes, "everything good starts with onions . . ." and just keeps repeating. Love that great beginning.

[@cllnplmr]

I havent watched all the wy yet but find I want to fill the arch gaps in my head! I'm thinking POOL NOODLES! Flexible, structured and insulating!! Not to mention lightweight, cheap and multipurpose!!

[@melissamusick5864]

Meg, just wanted to tell you that after several completely failed attempts at home made dinner rolls, I tried your recipe (and by 'tried' I mean I searched out your video and played it, stopping at every step throughout the entire process 🤣) and I DID IT!!! Thank you SO much! Now my only problem is I really need to buy my flour in bulk. A five pound bag only makes 3 or 4 batches and they are SO good that my little boy pretty much runs around all day with one in his hand. 💙

[@karenm5681]

Congratulations!🎉

[@kimberlykelly7280]

So happy you didn’t cut the plastic! I was literally saying NOOO!! LOL You are making me want to build another greenhouse. I did the cattle panel type and have used it to start seeds. Now I wish I didn’t put rock down on the ground because I would like to grow all year long. I love my Dutch doors. You sure have made progress on you homestead! Get well Meg.

[@dugel3]

Ben, the end wall looks good. I had 12 commercial greenhouses so I built a lot of end walls! One bit of advice, if you staple your plastic, never staple through a single layer because it will rip out. Leave 8 to 12 inches of poly past the wood you are going to staple to and roll it back onto the wood then staple through the multiple layers. That will hold really well. We always built door frames from 2x3s or 2x4s covered with a sheet of plywood. That way you could get something fairly large in. On a couple greenhouses we actually built a double door that way with a removable center post so it was 8 ft wide and were able to drive a truck or tractor inside

[@patriciaherman6499]

Yes small sweet potatoes with skins on mmm good.little butter with honey. Baked fish looks delicious, sometimes i stuff mine with crab meat. Ben the doors are going to look great are you going to use the excess plastic in the doors? Love the Irwin intro 😂😂 and Buggies greeting. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲

[@brendayokum5666]

We will take crumpy lol that's how much we love watching you ❤️

[@myretiredhobbiesgainesvill8140]

How cute. She is a beautiful girl. Always enjoy seeing the kids. Thanks for sharing.

[@juleswins3]

Buggy and I are right there together when it comes to cleaning up a plate of fish!!😋😋

[@barbarabrand190]

Miss Meg, I cook chicken livers with bacon and a bit of butter, salt, pepper, a little onion and garlic. Once done, its pulverized in a food processor. Its a wonderful spread on toast with some mayo and mustard. A big step up from liverworst.

[@mmurphy2317]

What ⬆️ she said❤...luv, luv, luv me some chicken livers, fried, grilled, sautéed in butter 'n onions, over Jasmine tumeric rice as liver puddin'...I think some of the Hollars like livers too...iirc?

[@janicepauley429]

I have the BIGGEST smile on my face. Loved your Australian accents!! So funny. I’m a Brit living in USA. It’s adorable hearing others tackle my accent!! Lol

[@oldnorthstateoutdoors2002]

So happy that Buggy has all those older brothers to help look out for her. Good luck at Lowe's.
