THE FARMHOUSE. The Back Field Gets Planted. Garden planting. Greenhouse posts. Cow pasture gate.

I've been a subscriber for a long time. Watching that property transform so dramatically in the short time you've had it is remarkable. Thank you for sharing the transformation Joe, and you motivate me to get off my butt and make my property better. 😅

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you. Half the battle is getting off your butt and starting. It gets fun once you get moving.

[@leekillman802]

Joe and Melissa are making huge changes to the place. I remember the farmhouse property when they were looking to buy. Where it was then and where it is now is a great testament to their work ethic and stewardship. Thanks for bringing us along to watch.

[@davidhawes4461]

Wow! nice job! Your field looks great! you will have some happy cows!

Remember watching when you moved in. It’s been so exciting and interesting to see what y’all have done and have planned. Such good and hardworking people. Love it. Have you ever considered using a drone for some fly over images of the farm? Would be awesome to see that.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes, and we actually have a couple of drones. I have no idea how to do anything but crash them but that is besides the point. Lol. The problem is, there are laws that say you need to be licensed or something and KZbin does have rules in place, I just have not looked into them so I understand it better.

[@blklbluvr]

@@NorthernSeclusionI’ve seen another KZbinr talk about how he had to take a test with the FAA like a pilot has to take in order to post on KZbin. And there are restrictions where you can fly them. Around your property should be fine.

nicely done, i forgot to comment on the last video. i laughed so hard when those chicks hit the heat lamp. lol and the farmhouse property is coming along very well. I was just wondering if you're going mud bugging this year?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

If I do (and I probably will) I do not do that until the end of June and into July. It takes awhile for them to grow up here in the cold waters.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

@NorthernSeclusion nice, I guess I could look back at last year's mud bugging. I wish you the best of luck, git er done!

Melissas work needed someone and they reached out to me. I just run it through one of my corporations so I have the right insurance etc. I did not seek it out, they found me and it fits perfectly into my schedule.

Thank you Joe for making another garden, farming, project video. I enjoy hearing the various bird sounds as well. I don’t know what the piece of equipment is called that you hooked up behind the 4 wheeler, but when i first say it on the grass i thought it was a bed spring frame like my grandmother’s bed had!!! Only diff seemed her spring/ frame didn’t have the vertical posts on the end back. Thank you for sharing with us all.

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Love what ya doing

[@bridgetqualey4366]

Hey, Joe, maybe I've missed your explanation about why you dug up a grass field to turn around and plant it again with grass. I'm assuming you did it to improve the KIND of grasses you want to grow in that area for your newly bred cow coming in August? It has been such a long and involved process - acquiring and fixing your plow, a harrow, etc. as you mentioned near the end of your video - I'm just curious what inspired all that focused and good work. I appreciate any clarification you could give. Your work is inspiring regardless of the motivation!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It did not have the correct grass for cows. It was more of a horse type grass, not a lot of nutrients. That field also had a lot of buttercup in it which is poison to cattle. We wanted one real good pasture with the correct grasses and clover etc. Not sure what keeps me focused, I just know that I have a deadline and I need to get things done. People will complain because I have not been in the guesthouse but I can not be in there and get the garden planted in time for us to have a harvest. We have a short growing season. We have cows coming in August so I know I need fencing up. Soon I will start freaking out because winter is coming and I need to cut wood. I have not started that yet because each day beyond my hernia surgery is another day it heals before giving that area the ultimate workout cutting 24 cords of wood. I just wake up knowing I need to get things done today. Lol. Thank you Bridget.

[@bridgetqualey4366]

@@NorthernSeclusion This is the most informative and kind answer I have ever gotten to my or other people's comments on KZbin videos. Plus I learned a LOT about grasses! And I can see how much you need to get done before the snow flies again especially as you grow your farm. That place you bought the green house from has been a goldmine- for you in your farming evolution and those folks wrapping up and moving on in their lifes' work as they age. I can relate. So hats off to you and Melissa as you bloom where you most consciously have planted yourselves in this flourishing stage of life. You sure have made a hell of a life for yourselves from your hard and consistent work. Thank you, Joe, and...Carry on!

Not sure if your seed tape is the same as what I use , on our package it says to water the tape before you backfill , I did that and the tape basically disappears and leaves the seed in the ground.
