THE FARMHOUSE. Building a Grape Vine Arbor. Greenhouse. Garden layout. Baby chicks. Cooking.

[@shellyroyea948]

I love watching all the progress you make on the farm.

[@jmar665]

I grew up in the sixties. Dad was an iron worker, welder, for American Bridge. He had built two massive grape arbors. One was purple grapes the other one green grapes. So sweet and so good to eat. Neighbors, in those days, would bring their peaches and purple plums, and exchange them for our grapes. We always had two gardens. You building those arbors brought back many cool memories. I can remember both of them working every evening, and us kids expected to help them out, cutting grass and chores in our big yard. Your place is so beautiful, and private. Well worth all of the work it takes to maintain. God bless.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Great comment. If life was still regularly like this, the world would be a better place. We do our best to do things the way they were done back then.

[@SumguyinTX]

Thanks for the video Joe. I have to keep my wife from watching or I’m gonna end up building a grape vine arbor .

[@robinpfeiffer6088]

Keep up the good work! You should have taught Zak about stealing! He nailed that boat deal😮 Good young man! Both good dads😊

[@NorthernSeclusion]

He really did get a GREAT deal on that boat.

[@hughlowell7226]

Joe I’m warning you, if you dont finish things I’m going to keep watching until you do, I really mean it!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

The way my list looks now, you will be watching for a very long time. Lol.

I’m hooked on your videos I have been forever. I remember when you were collecting fern nettle whatever you call them and then putting them in tea.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you Robert. I was just today looking at all the Nettle that is coming up this spring and thinking I need to harvest it in about a month.

[@raincatcherbarbie8401]

Looking Good on the farm!😊

[@jenniferkargol3065]

I bet that woman is so happy to see her items are being handed down to a family who will use them as much as her. ❤

[@davidmonnin2792]

Love the grape arbor!!

[@vickiconley3638]

Yes, me too!

[@kathyhennigan7807]

I just love to see your place in the spring. It is absolutely so beautiful and then you make it prettier by mowing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@sinclairpages]

I watched you level all the grape vine post and then it dawned on me that come winter the ground freeze and thaw will cause ground heaving and no longer be level. That vine arbor looks great. Minnesota mosquitoes are the size of our humming birds.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That greenhouse will be awesome when completed and so much stuff will be grown in it can't wait to see you planting in it. The Grape Arbor looks so good , it will be fantastic when the grapes start climbing and then producing grapes. May it all work out for you folks. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@marygaither6246]

I love your videos haters are going to hate just block them

[@NiemLythi-iv9cr]

❤❤

[@ronaldlee2376]

I like the simplistic design of the arbor, easy to control weeds & it will be a shady, cool place to sit under in a few years. I miss mine for that purpose.

[@florencecampbell774]

I look forward to seeing your grapes growing.Thanks for sharing.🥰

[@MikeZMonroe]

- My gosh you’re super busy! If it weren’t for Melissa’s projects you wouldn’t have anything to do 😊. Ceramics, garden, chickens, under construction apartment, grapes, fruit trees …..whoa…. Hope your hernia stays healthy.

[@stellamiles9850]

🤣

[@elizabethcopeman8860]

My hubby was a dairy farmer ~ I grew up in a city ~ when I helped him with fencing, I would call those nails "U Nails" he would laugh and let me know they were staples.

[@roegiersmusic]

Great progress! Love your content!

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Thank you Joe, great video. You and Melissa just got all kinds of stuff going on. It’s like that hernia repair ain’t slowing you down a bit now! Thanks much for sharing your video.

[@randycornell9796]

Nice grape Arbor.. The garden and field look great. Sure is coming along nicely.. Stay safe and have a great day.👍🤓👍🤓.Randy.

[@karentate4789]

That is so true Melissa seems to be steeped in empathy and tradition. The grinder will have a new tradition, it couldn't go to a better person, love from Scotland

[@trukklob2227]

Glad to hear the folks' outhouse survived the falling basalm! We just had hurricane force winds whip through the Dallas area this morning, trees down everywhere!

[@philipholum4277]

Good job on the grape arbor! I built a similar one for cukes and they did well.

[@tessaelvan2939]

super excited its all happening, maybe not the bugs ouch, loving all you do. thank you

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Hello Joe and Melissa! So great to see you! Love your videos! Thanks!

[@helenkelly6444]

Great videos! Things are coming alive with the farm! Fantastic!

[@debbiemcclure2874]

I see Melissa is a coat of many colors just like you Joe😊. I don't believe yal will ever go hungry fr. Yal work to hard for that lol. When I was about 5 or so my grandma lived in a house with a huge grapevine in her yard, my brother, sister and I would eat those things til we couldn't reach them anymore lol. My grandmother made some phenomenal jelly from them too. I don't think I've had grapes that good sense. Those chickies n ducks are gettin so big. My granddaughters favorite animal is ducks. She even loves the mascovys😂 a face that only a mother could love😂😂 kinda like mine😂😂😂😂. Tyfs God bless you

Thats some good livin right there!

Hey Joe you’re moving so fast I can’t keep up, y’all be safe and God bless! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@Tabbab]

Dang Joe , I wish I could see one project completed before you start another. Ha

[@PamB81]

One of the biggest things I love about Southern Nevada, we have very few insects….flies and mosquitoes are almost non existent! But then it’s hotter than hell, so there’s that 😅

[@pamelar5868]

[@anad.leonquintana7649]

We have 112 degres here in the Carribean. We are melthing😅😅

In the next video you will see, Brandon got them all separated. I will actually be starting to install them today (the next next video).

[@nancyl3843]

It is so wonderful to see what you and Melissa are doing. Makes me feel you will both be safe.

Good to see you guys are plainting

[@lorettafrancoeur8476]

Hey, you two are doing a great job. On the other side of the great Lake the bugs are bad here too. And have a great week and stay safe and sound and take care 🙂

[@jakeschisler7525]

If you build it the plants will grow!

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

Joe, you could get a carbide hammer drill bit that is the size of the greenhouse pipe and predrill the holes then drive it in. It won't fill with dirt .

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

The village I grew up in had a large Italian immigrant population. Grape arbors were in a lot of the yards. TheY were probably 20x20 and made of pipe. The vines covered the sides and top and made a cool place to sit in the summer

[@robertrockwell7581]

a lot of work Joe. and a lot more to go. stay safe.

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

A+

Nice show, Joe. Been watching since your Dads cabin build. For a second in the last show U looked old. Me too. Peace from New Mexico.

[@cherylroth]

Yup. The Minnesota state bird is back with a vengeance!

[@pamelar5868]

😂😂😂😂

[@kevingrimes4794]

Joe i really enjoy watching your videos. I know you are old school and believe in hard work but is there some kind of auger that you can put on your ice auger to dig those post holes instead of a post hole digger? You have worked hard all your life, i think you deserve to make some things easier.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Lucky for me, the soil here is very sandy so it is fairly easy to dig the holes. If it was hard clay it would be a lot more work.

[@rlwoods61]

We have a grinder just like the one you bought. We use ours outside or in the garage. Wheat dust will go everywhere!

[@justinpiazza11]

Same here I give all my birds the same food.

[@artmartin1913]

Those ducks look a lot like geese.

[@nojnoj3069]

Woohoo!

[@edwinpagan1290]

Excelente video ❤

[@caneanddawgfan4life]

I live in South Georgia where the mosquito is the state bird. 😂

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Melissa thought the same thing about Louisiana until she moved up here. She now thinks that the mosquitoes in Louisiana were more like pets. Lol. You have never experienced mosquitoes until you have been up here. Lol.

[@caneanddawgfan4life]

@@NorthernSeclusion 😂😂

[@gentleben5888]

I find myself swatting at mosquitos while watching this video until I realize the mosquito I hear is in Minnesota. 😀

[@ToddChapman-m8t]

👍👍

[@N4TNA]

What was that tool you were using to grind the bolts off the greenhouse bolts along with the drill. Never seen anything like that before very interesting. I bet it about killed you to have to not do nothing after your surgery. I'm the same way. Got a torn bicep and I'm going nuts not being able to do what I want to.

[@seananson923]

Good video Joe I have a question and a suggestion you should look into getting a some kind of round or square baler to make grass / silage bale and a Tedder for your tractor

[@seananson923]

For your animals

[@happy_dad4211]

Will you be able to use your outdoor wood furnace to heat the greenhouse?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

If we wanted to we could. We may do that in the future but not this year.

[@dcrow1982]

People keep asking why isn't he working on the guest house you all do realize joe is in Minnesotas planting season you only get a few months to plant and grow something where he lives at

[@jimputnam2044]

OK maybee dumb question but at 8:00 when you run your drill bit in on an angle does it not elongate the hole which will give it all kinds of slop when reassembled?

[@ernestkooistra1559]

👍🏻

[@mrshannon132]

How would cantaloupe or any other melons and watermelon do there?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have grown both several times.

[@trishaboggs1043]

You sure are a worker. I really like watching your videos. I also thought you were going to talk about the guest house and what you two are going to be doing with it. Are you guys going to finish it?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have not got that far yet. Lol. I will talk about it eventually.

[@stephano6793]

7:00 use a c-clamp and a large ball bearing to squeeze it?

[@tdvan80]

Where we live in Kandiyohi county the mosquitoes are just starting to get out of hand with all this rain we got in the last week. It would be nice to have a little less rain for a bit.

[@roberthathaway7958]

My yard has standing water from my sump pump. The mosquitoes are vicious. I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have a good idea?

[@bobdown6235]

I thought it might get too cold to grow grapes in Minisoda

[@WilliamBrockman-z2x]

Hey Joe, isn't the mosquitoe the Minnesota state bird ?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It certainly should be. Lol.

[@stephano6793]

I have my sump pump on a solar/battery/inverter system. Kicks in when the mains fail.

[@TonyGeneseo]

How the hell did u go straight to mosquitos ?? A week ago we had a hellacious black fly hatching ,!!! If the sun was out it looked like someone threw a rock through a bee hive 😂. No matter which direction you looked. Dragon flies showed up few days ago along with the horse flies but mosquitoes are reasonable ish. And I promise our mosquitoes will rival yours ! Once they show up 😂. Take care 🍺🍺

[@jamesbutler5518]

Well isn't the mosquitoes the state bird of Minnesota?

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

Are there still Bees in the hives? We had grapes at our last place. They attract wasps and hornets like crazy, if they are close by your hives they can and will attack the hives killing all the drones for the honey.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

No. Melissa (for now) is not doing bees.

[@mrshannon132]

Joe explain to us why those chickens and duck or not with the other birds

[@NorthernSeclusion]

They are to young. The older birds would probably kill them. With no mom that hatched them in the flock, there is no one to protect them. Pecking order within the animal world is brutal. Waiting until they are bigger lessens the chance of injury.

[@Nomadicebikingadventures]

Will the deer eat your vines?😊

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I hope not. If they do, I will fence that area.

[@donaldhederer2038]

Ducks need to keep their noise open, or they will choke water washs the noise open.

[@sonjasleeper1511]

For the grapes is that two panels?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes it is. Each panel is 50 inches wide and 16 feet long.

[@joan1671]

Ducks need niacin . You will have crippled ducks if you don’t feed them duck food . Get be them green peas or green beans every day . At least give them all flock . I have 26 runner ducks and 5 pekins.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have been raising ducks for 40 years and have never fed them niacin, unless it is in the chicken food. My 3 Muscovy ducks are approaching 9 years old and they have only eaten layer pellets (chicken) and occasionally scratch grain.

[@mrshannon132]

Play some radishes and Black Eyed Peas pinto beans

[@overthehill1958]

Do you ever finish anything? What happened to the guest house? What happened to the outdoor kitchen?

[@unclegunnysack4895]

Does your battery bank have pass thru? If so its alot more efficient to run the gennie periodically to recharge the battery. My SIL also has a rural property and loses power periodically, so so bought her an OUPES Mega 5. She experimented and found that to be the most efficient on gas consumption and sustained power over days.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

The one I have in the basement has the pass thru yes.
