What is so nice about your videos they are heart warming because they flow with humor, respect and love for each other. Life isn't perfect and having a rumpled bed or a crabby patch of weeds to toss comes along with a disorganized greenhouse so easily tidied. I would love to have a greenhouse like yours, clutter and all. You are so lucky. Then comes along a willing husband to haul gravel and dirt to make it as you like. I think he deserves a hot apple pie and a good neck rub. You are so blessed.....

[@charitysmith5245]

Cursed sheep thief or not, a good man is priceless. And one who has bits of epic late saved in his beard is just icing on the cake!

[@gail1321]

Love that our local history has made it to America. It’s pronounced Ree- vers. The Bordere Reivers are very famous her in Carlisle UK. There’s a large stone in our city with the curse written on. Lots of people still believe it has power today. Especially as Carlisle has been badly flooded twice since the stone was put up. Love watching you both and your family. Your life is so interesting. Thanks.

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

"same page... Of different books" hahahaha ha that was funny. It looks great in there.

[@olivekirkpatrick9094]

I also very much appreciated that one. Takin' that saying for our own household. ;)

[@CarmenHernandez-vy6rj]

I love what you do, guys! Keep it together tightly. Eep it humble. Keep it true. Sending you blessings! My heart melts when you express gratitude towards your husband just at the right time, which is then followed by a burst of laughter when I see him turning red and freezing in front of the camera. You guys are living so many people's dreams! Remember that if things get hard or boring for you.

[@tbrown2302]

Every day real people gardner’s, that’s what kind of gardner’s! Not show gardner’s that have the work done for them while they tinker and get the credit. One of the reasons we enjoy your vlog so much. You are willing to film your mistakes and victories, what worked well and what didn’t. You are real people with real lives giving us a little peak-a-view (as my grandson would say) and teaching us along the way. Blessings.

[@jenniferandrews6487]

“Didn’t I just say that?” “Yeah, but I said it better” 😂

[@DansonforJoy]

Mmmmm! Espresso footage in your cozy kitchen is my favorite! ☕️

[@monica021074]

I love your banter, you all are too cute together and thanks for the honey latte tutorial. I am always looking for another reason to use my espresso maker

[@littleneedlesfarm6387]

I can't even comprehend thinking spring cuz right now, here, in Northern MN...it's -22! wednesday's wind chills are around -60! I can't even imagine spring right now! This is crazy. thanks for giving me a place to remember that spring DOES come...however eventually it decides to come, along Lake Superior!

[@Carltonfamilyfarms]

I just found your channel not to long ago and have fell in love. I love the camera work, it's done very well. I also like that you video real life things, it doesn't look staged. Keep up the great work!

[@SimpleLivingAlaska]

We had bay laurel trees at our previous homestead, so beautiful! Great video :)

[@numberonecomputergee]

Gardener amnesia it’s kind of like having babies. You forget the pain and keep doing it. Lol

[@mamaj8810]

Oh, that was fun, I was laughing so loud my kids came into my room to see what I was doing. We started the video over and they watched it with me, and they were laughing too. You both are so cute, I just love you both!!!!! Thanks for making coffee- that was fun also!

[@Liz-lw6ht]

Love your books and posts! As a Graham and fellow Scottswomen let me pray a farm blessing for you and yours as you have been a blessing to us! May your plants and animals, kith and kin prosper this season and always!!!

[@YouCantEatTheGrass]

Lol, if that greenhouse was embarrassing then don't ask me about what my potting shed looks like. I've only lived here 6 months so I don't even have an excuse

[@ameliacapuano8807]

❤️your videos w some in home/kitchen time and also gardening and getting outside. Heartwarming to watch you guys. Thanks always for sharing. What kind of winter clothes/gear do you recommend for working in the cold? Thanks !

[@terraranch1459]

Great video! So funny! The music is so calming, and watching you tow puts a smile on my face. You are one of the top channels on homesteading. Love you guys. Hugs❤️

[@helenp81]

You two give me the giggles, I love your sense of humour 😃

[@megmcginnis239]

The English needed to have their sheep stolen...I can say that being an Irish Lass. Loved it. Haha. :)

[@tommathews3964]

Oh honey, that ain't bad!! Your greenhouse is amazing, just like your whole place. I, too, have serious "gardener's amnesia." We're starting the heavy plot work down here in Alabama. It'll be here before we know it! Good luck this season!

[@tiffanykrievans3459]

Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse raised bed planted up. Hoping you also show up your seed starting. Thanks - now I want a honey latte!

[@cjaracz2757]

Love your videos... What a wonderful legacy you are making for your sweet family!

[@kathycoblentz4852]

So glad you are doing videos again, I love it!

[@geneandjulieconrad3946]

You guys are the best. I love your bantering! Your greenhouse looks amazing!

[@lexistapleton687]

Why would u make this so good, darn it! I found your channel this morning and now it’s late at night and I haven’t been able to stop watching! I didn’t get anything done today and it’s your fault! Adorable children, cute young couple, living a dream life. This is really a wonderful bunch of videos, thanks a lot! 😁

[@VanBelleNZ]

You two!!! Such a sweet pair you are. I click like as soon I see a vid because I already know I will like (LOVE) it. Man these are so refreshing to watch. I’m also gleaning from you for our wee 2 acres of Heaven here in B.C. Lovely to see you beekeeping too! Hopeful about getting bees here again and love learning from you guys. Hey! What are your munchkins up to during your awesome greenhouse project? Your kiddos are livin’ some kind of dreamy dream (including hard work on the land as a fam!) and the way you parent is beautiful you two! Encouraging and inspiring to this momma. Hugs and God bless you!

[@50shadesofgreen]

good day to you my homesteading friends, excellent update video today guys !! look the look of your greenhouse

[@HousewifeInTheWoods]

I just love your videos ♡ I'm so so so hungry for spring! off grid up here on our homestead in northern Minnesota.... were sposed to be getting down to a possible NEGATIVE 65 tonight! I'm watching your video.... loving the green house.... and wishing on an early spring ♡

[@carolbaswell5019]

[@hannahparks6396]

Y'all are my favorite people!! I love y'alls relationship

[@Melandsoft]

So fun to watch you two!

[@michellelabri3388]

Beautiful, as always.........You two are absolutely hilarious!!!!!!!!!

[@amyrogers336]

You land is breath taking!❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@cathyphegley7414]

Same page, different books....I like that...

[@deannasmiley5369]

Lol.... The curse. I thought when I married and changed my last name that our family curse would be lifted.... But alas! Now my poor husband experiences it too! Lololololol! Greenhouse is looking good, y'all!

[@cassityart7001]

You guys are just good medicine. 🌱❤️

[@connielynn7236]

You guys are the cutest!! Love your channel!

[@countrybobbins2498]

im a tea drinker myself carnt even like the smell of coffee let alone drink it,ha ha ha. by the way i love your greenhouse its a great size i love this time of year its time to get started sawing seeds and I've been in the greenhouse cleaning and tidying up two, carnt wait to see how your greenhouse comes along. happy gardening from mandy in Englandxx

[@MrsThebault]

“Gardener amnesia”! I love it!!

[@shawnabailes2069]

Oh,how you make me wish I had a greenhouse to gripe about greenhouse mess! Lol. I'm in Georgia, and with no greenhouse yet, my seeds get started in the mudroom on a shelf with lights. I started the warm weather seeds mid-February last year and it seemed like it took forever for the weather to be right for transplanting. And this year is supposed to being us a colder than average February and March... 😣 So as much as I'm itching to get seeds started, I have to stick with a few cool weather varieties for another month or two.

[@jessicafelter8858]

You guys are inspiring and soooo cute & funny! New to your your postings. Enjoying it Thank you look fwd to reading your responses!

[@asubstantiallife7557]

@Elliott Homestead - needed the reminder that I *DESERVE* that honey latte each morning! And I TOTALLY suffer (or enjoy?) Gardener's Amnesia!!! I won't complain tho, since I live in CA's Central Coast so my weather is between 60-90 year ROUND!!! And, I miss Helen. :( Thanks Mama! xoxo

[@dianecharles881]

So peaceful-

[@luckychicav7981]

Mmmm I had to go get me some coffee, my comfort food. Well it isn't food but definitely my comfort. ;)

[@NS-pf2zc]

Dang that archbishop! I wonder if the Snodgrass' stole sheep! Probably. Lol, they were mostly farmers and I heard somewhere they were from the same clan/tribe as William Wallace of braveheart fame. It explains the temperament and interests of my husband and his brothers...exceptionally fearless and not afraid of hard work, that lot. 😊

[@ParisienneFarmgirl]

You're killing me. When I come, you better have a white mug for me. You know how I feel about my white mugs, let along "mom time" in the greenhouse.

[@anitaabeyta5373]

Wish there was a link to the curse story......It sounds interesting. Spring is coming!!!! Love watching you all with your interactions. I can tell you two are in love......with coffee....lol.

[@indigorose5727]

Love your farm!

[@r.m.4653]

I love these conversations

[@hannacharlottestein8658]

You can totally lift that curse! Ask a Medium for help. I've lifted several curses from my lineage (on both sides). :)

[@muddyacres9334]

I SO relate. Thank you

[@dionjones6740]

Another nice video by the Elliott Homestead. Funny and entertaining. Best wishes. Grandpa Jones.

[@jackiehorsley9263]

very nice love your greenhouse

[@raeperonneau4941]

You two are so cute! I see the flower. 😂

[@susantaylor8507]

I wish I had a green house on my little home stead I'm getting ducks soon I'm so excited

[@bodilheleneskumsrud6491]

Lovely...and honey latte,mmm!You guys are sweet...thanx for shearing!😘

[@michaeldemetriou3043]

Honey latte is absolutely amazing ❤

[@joanbaggs1915]

Just made myself a gelatin collagen peptide latte with honey. It was so good!!

[@Blessedfamilymama]

Love your channel! Just wanted to mention in case you didn't know that your microphone on your camera only comes out of the left ear but your music you add post production comes through both ears (on headphones). Fun technology stuff! Lol!

[@piligrace6927]

Yup, voices don't show up on in my right ear until 8:09

[@FarmhouseTeas]

Now I need a tea latte in my greenhouse 🤔

[@RiverPlaid]

Love it......hey your green house is nice. Would Stu build another and do a tutorial or sell the plans...single mom here and the only way right now I will get a greenhouse is to put it up myself. You guys have a nice one.🌸

[@theelliotthomestead]

I'll ask!

[@jimleeper6710]

Want more to do in the spring? Here in New England we have maple syrup to harvest. Before we start our plants. I love that time of year. So much to do, and so much reward.

[@jw5120]

As a fellow Scot I have to say it's totally okay if the sheep were stolen from the English. Haha. I loved that comment. And to think I fell in love with and married an Englishman.

[@lynsmith2698]

Hahahah oh i love your channel. I love your espresso machine. I have a good quality one but not anything as beautiful as yours. I dream one day of owning a commerical one, so i can get the lovely foamy crema on top of my espresso, i get a little but not like yours. Anyways i could go on and on about lattes and the art of making them. Stu needs to come and give us pointers...hahahah Anyways i also say to my hubby....Oh iwas thinking....or you know what we should do and James gets that look on his face...which translate to....oh geez what kind of job has she got for me now. hahahhaah Anyways love your channel. Love you two. Keep them coming. Please tell Stu he needs to do a video on just his espresso machine and the fine art of making a great latte

[@jeanneamato5525]

You two are so freaking cute!

[@lindakell6854]

Hello Elliot’s. Watching from Western Washington. Just wondering where your lovely farm is. Thanks. I enjoy watching your life on the farm. Blessings 🌲❄️🌲❤️

[@theelliotthomestead]

We are next to Wenatchee... not far from you!

[@samanthaquant7411]

I want to know more about how you manage to get things done with those cute kiddos around. I have a 1 year old and a baby due next month. I just have one acre and a small garden but I can’t keep up...

[@mycedarridge]

Looks like foam art to me!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@pequenabutterfly1668]

Try and hire some help during planting and harvesting season. It will relieve so much stress.

[@royparman1498]

Facial hair is an excellent option for short-term caffeine storage... I commend your preparedness mindset.

[@sammyhalliwell7411]

Love your esspreso machine! The latte looks good 👍 where did you get.your esspreso machine

[@tammyshepherd1152]

U guys r so cute together.

[@AndreaBiethman]

You two are adorable. You inspired me to get some david austin roses! What kind of espresso machine do you have?

[@robinmcmillen7917]

I love your videos

[@sandylee1717]

So lovely! Who makes ur bean grinder?

[@michellemooney4225]

I just LOVE your videos,,,,,,,,,

[@TRIBEDRAKE]

Of course I've already ordered too many seeds, but I was thinking of the teeny tiny tomatoes you used in your HGTV premiere. Could you please share the variety name and possibly where to get seeds? Thank you and love this just like all the others!

[@jendyson6729]

My husband gets the same look on his face when I say "I've been thinking" or pay him a compliment. haha. He knows he is about to do some heavy lifting. Us gardeners are hopeful people :) What's weird is that something that grows great one year is a fail the next so its unpredictable. btw, I support the Elliot's decision to steal sheep, those English were mighty unkind to the fine people of Scotland they had it coming ;)

[@walkbyfaithfamily9177]

I am a fellow homeschooler- I’m curious what curriculum you use?

[@DH-qz2so]

coffee roasting/grinding video please!!!

[@AlisonWaters590]

I'm a descendent of the border reiver Elliott's as well! I didn't know about the curse. I've just been getting into gardening recently but I'm worried now about my chances of success lol.

[@Northfield7]

What kind of coffee do you drink in the morning? Reg drip machine. Any suggestions? It seems like you both know your coffee. I wish I had a cow about now for some fresh milk and cream. Yum! I live in a cute small town call Northfield, MN. I have a few friends on the outskirts that homestead. Your videos are sweet and relaxed.

[@denisescull4227]

I have espresso machine envy! What is the brand of this beautiful beast?

[@RH-zt9ph]

If you need (as I do) the caffeine that badly, you should not use espresso as it has the least amount of caffeine in it (except for de-caffeinated), use brewed coffee for more kick.

[@tiffanyandchris]

Haha, "from the English" - enough said!

[@joansmith3492]

Bonafide greenhouse!

[@bryanwyland8010]

What's you thoughts on the 'veggie soil' bag you got from Lowe's? I bought a bag a few months back hoping to use it as seed starter; but mine is full of huge sticks, bark, etc; looks more like a bag of mulch I'd put down around shrubs or something! =( I have since bought bags of miracle grow; wally brand, and Berger BM2 to start my seeds in with a soil blocker. Hopefully one of those will be better!

[@michellehayashi576]

Green house is looking good. In one of your other videos you mentioned you used some herb formula to get rid of the voles. What did you use?

[@theelliotthomestead]

Ya that didn't work. Ha! Still struggling. Currently using a cat...

[@mlgl9728]

Looking forward to meeting you one day. Gotta show you something interesting.

[@sandyguerrero804]

2 a days! Preseason!

[@Tiffycha1982]

What machine do you use to make your honey latte?

[@lauraforeveron]

Where is Stu’s jacket/coat from?? My partner would loooove this

[@Im4hm]

almost a year later and I am thinking ... I need gravel and dirt and ... yeah, getting ready for spring before winter even begins

[@tasleemshaikh1672]

Your very good 👨

[@hoofmanshome1410]

Just curious, what do the kids do while ya'll work outside? We have four also, we also homeschool! I would love to do more outside, but can't seem to find time to pull myself away from my little ones. Mine are very young, the youngest is 11months, so maybe just when they are older?

[@theelliotthomestead]

They just run around outside with us!

[@meme7591]

So I've enjoyed watching your videos the past couple weeks however it would be awesome if you could be more instructional. Like regarding what type of soil you use and fertilizer and while you're putting the gravel down on the floor just a little bit more. What type of materials you use

[@MsCaterific]

❤

[@avejoseph2429]

I'm assuming you steam your raw milk? Any tips because every time I've tried with raw and non-homogenized milk, it falls flat almost immediately which is sad....lots of crema and microfoam makes the latte! I enjoy your vlogs and appreciate how you appreciate beauty in your everyday homesteady life! Pax! Hope you reply : )

[@sianpryce3685]

When you read at the table in the morning what is the other book you read with the Bible ?
