SURPRISE! This is WHAT we've been GROWING all winter

[@darlenetate9553]

Selah is smarter and prettier every day. It’s great that she talks to the kids on the camera because they will definitely listen to her.

[@margmurray1945]

While you were talking, Mike, I was thinking about = remember, just one thing at a time (seems to work better for me when I do that) -- then Sealah mentioned about the growing Sabbath (I remember my Dad doing that back 60-70 years ago, just a field at a time, usually) and, finally, I remember you and your family on the Great American Farm Tour and I realized how much the children have grown and then all the changes you have made on the BIg Pond Farm ! Way to go !

[@lisastrand6764]

Selah is a great cohost on the Fit Farmer show!

[@sarahmcalpine2058]

Agreed!!🎯👍💕

[@barrys2764]

Mike, that was so nice of Selah to allow you to join her show 😁

[@AnalyticalChick]

Lol. I don't think he knew she was gonna do that. I think she just did it.

[@jillyd2807]

Lovely seeing all your ducks quacking and waddling along and seeing you giving them some nice greens 🤗

[@armidaperez5360]

Selah is alot like her mom knows how to 👍do lots of things

[@peartreehillfarm]

Great job by Selah! Would be fun to see her take the camera for an entire episode. She’s a natural 😲👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@carlatroke4780]

Your daughter is such a sweetheart getting in there lugging and not complaining. Great helper she is! Stay safe everyone.🇨🇦

[@barbarabrand190]

Salah has become so accomplished with her driving of the lawn tractor and hauling of different types of materials. She is such a blessing. You have a lovely family.

[@kattygabby3519]

Selah is a burst of fresh air!... very knowledgeable too! Love to see her behind the wheel! Micah is a real character! Love him! Josiah is a thinker ... The homestead is providing a wonderful educational experience ... grow on!😊From your Caribbean fan!

[@carolynfarmer3436]

What an amazing life your children have. They are so grounded. They are experiencing more then any city kids will ever do

[@YayaJ4579]

THAT WAS AN AWESOME QUESTION SELAH...Shalom! In your home...Blessings!

[@christineosborne3155]

That was very impressive, indeed!!

[@GradeBmoviefan]

Lord love Selah! She is such a good trooper!

[@crystalwelch2471]

Hey guys love your channel

[@loraineleuschke4186]

You guys are doing a good job.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Mike Dickson and your daughter Selah nice to see you, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[@bethanyfields4706]

The Deadnettle Exposé was priceless! She needs to be doing more of those! ♥️ That OVERWHELMING feeling is all too familiar. Shew! As you talked, I could feel those moments from my own life. You've GOT THIS, but it helps me to know someone who's already successfully done so much feels the same pressures that I do!

[@medtech1a]

Selah is funny. But it’s great getting her involved with the channel. Your entire family works hard to make everything a success.

[@imari2305]

I've never had lemon balm or lemon balm tea. I'm definitely going to look into getting some and growing it to make tea with.

[@cindyfarmer6809]

Great job Selah! You are a hard worker and a great help to your Mom and Dad! Keep u the good work!😊

[@wayneleamon3186]

Selah gets prettier every day. Such a blessing to myself and others I'm sure that watch your channel.

[@AnalyticalChick]

Mike is gonna have boys beating down the yurt door soon enough.

[@catchheronthefly4532]

Great video! Selah explains it all, she needs her own tv show! ❤️

[@AnalyticalChick]

They really should change the channel name to Dicksons or Fit Farm Family.

[@elizabethdoucet1271]

You truly have a beautiful family. You are blessed !🙏👍

[@bertieboatright1206]

Oh my , I remember when she was learning to drive the lawn tractor. Now she just hops right up there.she is a good helper . And the boys are growing like weeds .

[@jenniferward5216]

Selah is just like your mini me Mike. Micah is on his own independent character and Josiah is Lacie.

[@forestmichael7050]

At least Micah gets the water moving lol

[@Citystead]

Oh yeah the Great American Farm Tour that's where I first saw you guys. Seeing families like yours was what drew me into all this stuff, can't believe it's been a few years already

[@claudettewright7745]

Very hard working little farmer girl so proud of you

[@deborahplyler6528]

Your kids are so cute.

[@daniellejones3405]

Love y'all so great full for you and your family

[@ruthwible2309]

Selah is such a great helper! She is a strong, smart, hard working young lady. I’m sure you’re very proud of her along with the boys.

[@victorcercone1909]

Thanks for all the info and your outlook on life . Love the respect your children have . I met your fam at the boucherie . Bri’s dad❤️

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thank you Victor!! It was so nice meeting you at the Boucherie.

[@mellyg8872]

I really need to make some low tunnels this fall for ourselves and added greens for our chickens because, like you said, they don’t have much greens throughout winter. Thank you for taking us along and love your channel! Take care

[@leyahw.l.4388]

Your daughter is a great intern and wonderful inspiration for children. Beautiful 🤩 keep up the good work young lady

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Starts are looking wonderful.

[@happyheartgardening]

Your daughter is such a HUGE help!!!

[@ninfabatchelor4943]

I love to see this young lady doing all can of the work and work with the animals God bless her heart ❤️💜❤️

[@johnmay8852]

she is a star in the making

[@barbaraspan1437]

Selah is fantastic! A sure comentator. A brilliant little Lacie and dad all rolled up in one. Remind Selah to lift with her legs when picking up heavy items. It will prevent back and muscle aches in the long run. I had to learn the hard way after hurting for days. Love everthing you guys are teaching and doing on your channel. Thank you all.

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

Mike is that sunshine that I see!?! Lol 😂

[@brenda324]

Selah does a good job. Be careful sticking your hand into those cement blocks, I know it's winter but snakes hide out in those things.

[@annwithaplan9766]

You lettuce is looking good. I'm going to be planting my seeds here soon to get them started.

[@miah5561]

Greetings! Love the videos!

[@davidmoore7018]

Thank you Mike & Family I'm 70 yrs young & I like what you do & the way you & Lacie Teach Farming Love what you guys are doing , YAH Bless you in JESUS Name Keep it UP A brother

[@leahr.2620]

I don't know if it was planned but when Selha sat down and started talking about the plants she was so natural, well done. I had to chuckle when she ate that dead nettle, very cute. She certainly is a big help 👍👍

[@tammysarrazin7078]

love the fact that there was no hesitation from Selah to get on the tractor and go lol you have great trust in your children hugsssssss

[@BluegrassHomestead]

Thank you and all praise to the Most High that you know to let your ground rest the 7th year. Yah bless you Mike! Much love,Steven and Jess.

[@tootiebygrace]

Enjoyed the video! Selah was great! I see on another video I misspelled her name. Got it right this time(I hope). You have a lovely family!

[@susantaylor8507]

Selha reminds me of my daughter crystal when she used to help us in our cleaning business my children always helped us till they got married and left home

[@barbarabrand190]

I remember the great American Farm tour. All of the children have grown. Good times!

[@wendyhenschel.]

I like those muscovy ducks. I used to call them dinosaur ducks till i found out what they were called lol. Selah is growing so fast and she is taking on more and more of mom and dads knowledge. She is a good worker no matter what she is doing. Love seeing her out there with you helping out.

[@barbaravollmert9508]

I'm 64 now super busy all the time .i have learned that at least one or more days a week things go astray as long as you get something done, it's good so just breathe and take it in stride!! Remember you do more than enough!!!😀😀😀😀😀

[@karenbuckner1959]

Selah is smart! Great question about the 7 yr land rest. She's learning so much, and, like you, willing to share what she knows.❤

[@heatherfaithpeters250]

My husband and I truly enjoy your videos. Your family is an inspiration.🌟

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

Great job Selah!

[@estellaknox4488]

Getting ready for planting

[@lcostantino7931]

Get that young lady nice goat skin gloves.... Helps with moving concrete blocks.... She's adorable.

[@vkenn60]

Love how you praise and guide your kiddos in such a positive manner. Always saying how good of a job they do and teaching them along the way. Both you and your wife. Best wishes!

[@chantaln6843]

Selah has excellent intonation when she speaks; in addition, her voice is clear & crisp. Furthermore, she pronounces her words very well. If she becomes a good reader, she will definitely be an excellent candidate in becoming a broadcaster.

[@Rootedandreaching]

I definitely feel distracted the last year. Between the pandemic madness, and moving around to find space for this years garden I'm overwhelmed, but never defeated. I appreciate what you talk about and how you constantly inspire others to be their best selves. May God bless yall and keep yall safe and prosperous.

[@Lisa-wp1ff]

Selah is becoming a lady right before our eyes. She is such a joy to watch .Great worker too

[@lisaholt3627]

Wow, it seems like over night Selah is growing into a young lady. She is so pretty. She sure does compliment her Dad in the videos. I have been trying to talk my husband into a greenhouse this year. I am hoping to grow root crops in it over next winter. But first we re looking forward to SPRING!

[@karlab9557]

Love watching Selah help, and hearing what she has to say about plants and farming. She is growing into a lovely young lady. Since not all the land got started growing in the same year, definitely can do rotating land Sabbath. I have seen recommendations about crop rotation. I only can grow in my "flower beds" as we live urban, so I don't know how I would do it. I have put in several perennial edibles, berries and etc., which we have enjoyed. I sure do get a good chuckle watching the ducks waddle along!!

[@anitadodson4316]

Selah is so sweet 😊

[@kygal2873]

It's very cold here in northeast Kentucky! You guys don't even have coats on!

[@AnalyticalChick]

Being outside in the cold all the time cold trains your body.

[@katem3941]

Thanks for the tip, move them out from under the grow lights when they get their 1st true leaves. Great job Selah, show us a close up of the nettle. Good for you for trying new things!

Thank you I really enjoyed that Love what you are doing from Ontario Canada

[@patstinson5167]

Selah is beautiful and smart.

[@faithevrlasting]

Mike and Selah, I celebrated and rested the land on our urban Homestead in year 7 after 9-11 in the Shemitah year. I think it was 2008. We gardener in our tower containers and offered some of our harvest to the local food bank that year. Prayer surrounded this and recently I remembered that after that first year we rested the land, we have neglected to do it again. I think 2022 is another Shemitah year and we will likely join you in this. Bless you.

[@candacethompson2521]

I love Miss Salah. She is a beautiful young lady out there working with her Daddy. I'm wondering what you have planned with so many ducks ? Are they all meat birds ? And WOWZA to all the lettuce and other green veggies you all have growing . The seedlings are looking great.

[@TYGER0902]

They are layers.

Salia taught everyone a good lesson just because you can eat it,sometimes raw foods need to be prepared to be eatable.

Selah is too cute

[@therandomhousewife8501]

Land sabbath! I love it! I was reading about it as we’ve been studying the sabbaths in the Bible recently. And I was thinking about how would we go about doing that when we get land? I guess you’d just have to be sure you Preserve a ton of food!! Either that or have enough land to wear you can rotate and be growing on one part of your land while what you’d been growing on for seven years gets a rest.

[@vbsereis5594]

I get what you're saying about rotating the fields for a 7 yr land sabbath, but only if looking at it from a worldly perspective. But if u look at it from a godly/biblical perspective, I believe doing that would defeat the whole purpose of doing a land sabbath. Any type of sabbath is ultimately to honor God. Honoring God would mean letting it rest that year but in the years prior to that, growing and putting up as much food as is possible and then having faith enough to believe that God would provide for that 7th year.

[@wadeprior5203]

Good morning Mike what's up everything's okay keep up the good work get you later Fremont California

[@terrykunst3883]

This was so exciting, like opening presents at Christmas!

[@clarasmith1873]

Watching you with the large stack of blocks, my first thought was watch your toes!

[@jennifferhurlburt642]

I do remember seeing you on the Great American Farm Tour! Quacking your ducks to move them! Lol Selah is a great duck keeper! You are growing amazing chitlens!

[@denisebrady6858]

What a great video Guys- Salah well done you were amazing. Love the ducks. Cheers Denise- Australia

[@jeaniepartridge6701]

I got my shelves set up in the basement and am getting ready to start brassicas. My 4 year old grandson likes to taste flowers and plants but he knows not to try a new one before he asks. He also likes to offer them to his 4 year old cousin but she isn't always willing to try.

[@jeaniepartridge6701]

Got my cool crops started today.

[@gonzalezpandura]

Ty for the reminder get up and get going

[@carolrhodes7849]

The person I knew that did it, let their 7th year beds rest , I believe with cover crop. They used the non-7th year beds.

[@eustisin]

More of the kids love watching them grow and learn thing on farm

Greetings!

Now that you’ve given the ducks chickweed, you’ll have to give the chickens duckweed🤪

Hey yall! I am so excited! I ordered from bootstrap farmer and you convinced me I needed 10 trays, 10 mesh trays, 5 domes, 1 black dome and 40 5x5 pots all different colors! Thank you so much for helping us vrow easier! Love yall so much!!!

[@St0rmyw1nd]

Oh, and i ordered 5 hydro inserts too! We grow hydrponicallly here.

[@heatherk8931]

MIKE, the mint you watered didn't get nearly enough nor did you spray the whole block. I'd spray it heavy like you did the other area right afterwards. Live your vlogs, your family are a favorite to learn from! Hugs!

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

My daughter and her boyfriend took my grand daughter to a regional park to fish when she was about 3 y/o. They picnicked for lunch with fried chicken. Out of nowhere a Muscovy duck came up and snatched an entire chicken leg out of my grand daughter’s hand🍗... True story!

[@jessicashive3836]

That is truly hilarious. I’m sure not for little one but for us in the now. Thanks for sharing

[@PurePondering]

We're still going slow here. Our domed starter containers are take-out containers I've convinced my coworkers to rinse out and give to me instead of throwing them away and milk jugs. My daughter Micah goes through about 3 gallons of milk a week, so I've been saving all those gallon milk jugs. lol I've thought about Land Sabbath, too. We're coming up on 4 years in our house but last year was our real first year of gardening, and we didn't get a lot of beds going. Steady as she goes.

[@roslynwilliams9420]

Yes, That's when I 1st saw your farm when Justin Rhodes did he's grear America tour and I've been watching every since thanks guys for sharing it's fun to see you kids grow and as they grow and you grow as a farmer.

[@Lake-girl2024]

Your videos are great keep it up and your kids are amazing your little girl is so smart what a great father daughter team

[@ericataylor1708]

Lettuce is so pretty 😍

[@arlenetrang803]

I started my plants in half gallon milk cartons, the waxed cardboard kind. I cut them in half length ways, put the seed in and put them on top of the TV set that was always on and therefore warm. I put them in plastic bags and put a magazine over them for darkness. I could get about 6 of them to fit. I checked them often and as soon as sprouts appeared I replanted them in larger milk cartons and other containers. My husband built me a 'greenhouse using old storm windows for the south wall and that corrugated clear plastic for the roof. It was against the south side of the garage and was about 6 or 8 feet deep. I took my transplanted seedlings out there as soon as the hard frosts were gone. I did have an electric heater to plug in if it got too cold. I repreated the sprouting process on the TV as long as I needed to. This all happened many years ago, in the late 60's and 70s and I no longer am gardening. I do miss it though. Making do with what you have is the deal. I will say that I never had leggy plants with my method of removing and replanting those little sprouts. So when i see you guys starting seeds in those big containers I just cringe and wish I could share my story! And I just did!!!

[@MikeTheFitFarmer]

Thank you for sharing your story!

[@offgridqueen2739]

Incredible to see the process!
