THE FARMHOUSE. Greenhouse hoops are up. Garden gets fenced. Wind and rain. Working on vehicles.

[@jeffradice9994]

The garden is shaping up great!!! Looks very good with the fence around it! I enjoy your videos, long time subscriber. Thanks Joe

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Happy birthday Melissa! Thanks Joe! Always amazing!

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Wind noise in a video does not bother me. It is information about the environment in which you are working, a part of your reality which is why we all watch. I doubt my opinion is common. 😅 Filler music regularly annoys me.

[@snotina]

yes rather have "real" sound than boxed music

[@Robert-bt1bo]

Can't wait until you're done with the garden putting up the fence also the deers and animals don't eat your vegetables you're doing an awesome job for a one man

[@MayWhite-bz7xl]

One thing for sure Joe with all that gardening and now you're adding cows and maybe other animals you're going to need help doing all that work everybody is going to have to chip in, it's going to take at least six months for your hernia on the inside to heal. The garden area is really taking shape looks nice.

[@MikeZMonroe]

Hired help maybe? Not sure Melissa can since she works a full time job. Poor Joe gets more massive projects assigned to him with many projects still open.

[@aday1637]

That deer in your garden was probably delighted that he found someone had planted young tender shoots and supplied a light so it was easier to find. Deer probably thinking, 'what a guy'. Tonight he'll invite some of his friend over for a party.

[@jackcindric805]

Joe, Mark your frost line depth on your pole digger handles with some spray paint. No more stopping to measure with your tape.

[@rugermossberg9221]

Hello from West Fargo North Dakota. I think it would be awesome if during the quiet times when you're speeding up the video or because of the wind you should play 80s hair metal or polka music...lol. Garden looks great.

[@jmar665]

Happy Birthday Melissa. Hope you enjoyed your day and took some time out for just you. ❤

[@thestouts2431]

Good job Joe! Happy birthday Melissa! Once that garden grows in, you two will have some really good eats! Don't overdo, Joe. You still need to heal

[@johnl8996]

Thanks for the video, Joe! Gardening is definitely hard work when you're going to war with Mother Nature. It will all be worth it in the end, I'm sure. Your green thumb has proven to be an asset year after year.

[@bettyferguson2815]

Start on the maple before the oak. You'll feel like you are making progress and you'll be giving your surgery site more healing time. If you get the maple pile done you'll be happy with your progress.

[@treesawlimbnahbirch6788]

Happy Birthday 🎂 Melissa

[@yellowdeer7163]

Your garden area is going to look really good when it gets grown. I especially like corn growing. I'm from Texas and when I went to Michigan the corn fields were just beautiful. Good job Joe!

[@teresajames5993]

The deer here ate all of our squash last year almost everything. They even jumped up into the raised garden beds to get to the middle!! I’d be putting a fence around the whole garden.

[@normfromhawaii1173]

I once planted sweet corn in Hawaii but the cut-worms got to all of it. So I then started the corn in small peat pots in my green house to protect them. The larger transplanted survived the cut-worms in the ground. With Aloha...

[@R.E.HILL_]

Wow.. that abandoned puppy turned out to be a big dog...

Looking great around there Joe and Melissa. Good progress on the Greenhouse. Hope you get your fencing done so the deer will leave the gardens alone. You have a busy week ahead, don't forget to breath every so often, Stay safe. Fred.

[@mathbrown9099]

Joe, the wind I heard during this video sounded just like our afternoon weather, today. Puget Sound and mid-Minnesota sure seem alike, until deep winter. We just don’t get as cold for as long. You know how much I appreciate your vids, Joe. Thank you.

[@CutandShoot5x5]

Phenomenal job on the Greenhouse frame Joe! Happy Birthday Melissa!!! 🎂

[@pattiwhite9575]

Sorry for all that heavy rains. But, you have done one hell of a fantastic job on huge new garden area. Its a thing to be jealous of.

keep up the great work, 👍 i always enjoy these videos. hopefully, the field grows, and you dont have to re plant. where is the milk cooler going? once a milk farm, always a milk 🥛 farm lol

[@12Daze]

20:12 - That's exactly how my brain works. My garden is WAY smaller, but I need everything straight and a certain distance apart.

[@K.Edmondson]

Looking good there. You probably need to think about winter, keeping snow away from the sides of the greenhouse as a buildup will collapse the sides.

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

Fence looks great! Needed!

[@dylan8285]

I would fence the whole garden also at the 2 week mark I’d just go ahead and seed the pasture again you’ll have better results anyway as I’m sure coupled with the rain and critters messing with the seeds it’s going to be sparse

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It is coming in pretty nice and green. I would probably do a slight reseed but this week is predicting record amounts of rain. I need to wait for it to stop raining with the downpours. 5 to 8 inches expected.

[@shakes7333]

Happy Birthday to Melissa I'm kind of surprised that you haven't bought a new tractor with all the implements....tiller..box blade etc. Like a 23hp compact or 20hp sub compact.

Awesome!! Get er done..

I had similar problem , it was birds here . I built a cage out of some 3 foot fence I had . Worked great . They were getting my green beans to .

[@swampbug]

Thanks for replying. That's neat how met Ps. Melissa is correct, we down south pronounce it crawfish😂

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Isn't it funny how when you type the word crawfish, you get the squiggly line under it? I wonder why? LOL. That was my reply to her.

[@rogerpultz5597]

Great video 👍👍

[@joangibson859]

If you have crows they are likely pulling up your onions and everything else. Last year they pulled up my tomatoes, cabbage, and peppers. Also beans. After losing 3 plantings, I just gave up having a garden.

[@mickbrown942]

I was just using a post hole digger last week. I live in Maine. Every 6 inches is a large rock. I’ll start 3 holes till I find a spot to go down deep enough. You don’t know frustration till you dig holes in Maine..

[@happy_dad4211]

With your large logs, have you thought about using your telehandler to lift several logs at a time and cut them to length right into a trailer to hauler over to your furnace? That seems to be a handy piece of equipment.

[@PeterWenzel-yn7fn]

[@chuckolson5825]

Quack grass the curse of all farmers what they found out was 2-4-D . It is safe to plant in a certain amount of days. But it gets the roots and everything. Maybe try on the fence lines to start. Good luck!!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

We 2-4-D.our entire fields 2 weeks before planting. Takes care of it.

- Would it be feasible to move Melissa’s ceramic equipment to the greenhouse. Combine her two massive projects into one?

Happy Birthday Melisa. Might be worth it to set up one of your trail camera's pointed at your garden? Thank you for the video. Enjoyed watching it.

[@ralphempson2719]

I swear Joe when you fill up your grill! Who is coming to the grill party to help you eat all that food?

[@MikeZMonroe]

- Joe burns off all those calories with his many projects. Food intake to increase energy when the farm animals show up.

[@catswambo9706]

Joe grills a lot at a time for his and Melissa's work lunch boxes. Poor Joe works on multiple things at same time plus off property jobs.

[@jasonriley4432]

Good luck with the quackgrass. Even the smallest of rhizomes will root and grow. I hope it's not the case for you, but I'll bet you'll have a lot of it regrowing. Tilling, discing, etc. usually only exacerbates the problem. Sadly, non-selective chemical control is usually the only solution.

[@larryerickson3204]

Is Brandan doing well with his recovery?

[@bigtom3422]

Deer will paw the potatoes out of the ground and eat everyone of them. They will also eat squash

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have grown potatoes for almost 40 years and many of the places had very high deer concentrations and never once has a deer touched my potatoes. I have had them growing outside the fenced area here for 3 years now and see deer almost every night and they have not touched them. They do say that if deer do not have ample forage in the wild they will sometimes eat squash plants. I have never had them bother them though. There is a first time for everything though. Lol.

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Happy Birthday

[@swampbug]

I was curious to how you meet your wife that was way down south in La. I watched some of your videos when you were on Blind river and ìn Sorrento. I live in the parish that is next to Acensìon Parish

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Melissa messaged me on one of my crayfishing videos telling me it is pronounced crawfish not crayfish. I was going through my divorce after being married for 26 years. We kept talking and a year later we met in person when she flew up here to go to the tent. A few months later I drove down and spent a month or so down in Sorrento with her. We just stayed together ever since. I think this October it will have been 13 years. We own property on Blind river, we are maybe 10 lots down from Blind River Bar. Boat access only but when we sold the house down there we did not sell the river property. She moved up here almost 6 years ago and we bought the farmhouse.

[@jimmccormick6091]

Hey, Joe- in regards to those post hole diggers- My fater wrapped the shaft with eletrical tape at 1 foort, 1 and a half foot, 2 foot, etc. Sort of turned them in to story poles. Reason being? He lost his favorite measuring tape once when digging a hole. I know that you probably dont dig too many holes, just thought I'd offer a suggestion. Oh- and IF you play music, POlka or 80's hair...

[@stevenstone4330]

You should go all the way around the garden with the fence, or you're going to regret it.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I feed the deer corn all year away from the garden otherwise they eat. I bought a new fencer but haven't been able to do it because of all the rain. Last weekend we got 5 inches. The company just finished today with the new siding which is made of polymer which also has forming styrofoam and metal backing and with all their stuff clear around the house.

I hate buying tires for our vehicles. Used to be no big deal, now it means I have to balance my checkbook afterwards.

[@paulwaldrop]

Are you putting up something to keep the deer out of your gardens?

[@logpile1318]

I always put new rotors in when i change brake pads because those rotors will warp

[@NorthernSeclusion]

You can feel it in your pedal if they are warped. No reason to waste that money if they are fine.

[@logpile1318]

@NorthernSeclusion I've found my brake pads last longer if the surface has ridges and is not warped but each to his own.

[@jim-z5g4y]

howdy,working on the truck with the wheel removed,did you have safety jack under front end,if not that is dangerous --take care-jimbo

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I pushed the tire under that front corner just in case it were to fall, I would be fine. None of the safety jacks extend up high enough to work on my truck and blocking the safety jacks is not very safe.

[@bradedwards9349]

It's best to buy new rotors when you buy brakes...

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Absolutely no reason to buy new ones when the old ones are perfectly fine. Quit wasting your money. Quit listening to the corporate world trying to find more ways to get you to spend money you did not have to.

[@rodan57]

What’s with the “half face” in all your videos? People know what you look like just embrace it and quit hiding. It’s not a good look

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Huh? I have never hidden and I certainly could care less what you think is not a good look. Note to self: From now on always make sure to only show half face just to piss off rodan. What a stupid comment.
