If you try to dry potatoes in the sun they turn green...hope you put them in a dry, dark place.

I'm starting to suspect the *solanin* found in *nightshades* in the *Solanum* genus wasn't just named randomly.

[@reggiebuffat]

Yup, and green potatoes are poisonous.

[@aryroy9158]

One morning, I dug a nice row of potatoes. The next day, they started rotting, from being cooked/burned/blistered, from the sun! Soooo sad😢 But yes, they do need time to dry, before storing. And yes, not too long, or they start turning green. Live and learn.

[@carolyn3658]

I always dug potatoes and let dry in shade because sunlight turned potato skin green which is poisonous to eat

[@jackcsaffell5641]

Hi Mr. Rhodes. I'd like to talk to you about your glass cut on your arm. I was an avid blood donor. The nurses there told me of a product called Bacitracin to apply to the wound to prevent infection. Once the wound is cleaned, apply the Bacitracin and cover with a bandage. Leave the wound covered for 3 to 5 days and you'd be shocked how well it works. I used to use Neosporin but the results don't compare to Bacitracin. God bless you guys.

[@kentuckysurvival]

Motor oil is better 😉🤣

[@louiseswart1315]

On cuts that could pull apart, I use any fresh aloe gel from the garden(it is sterile there inside the leaf) a few drops, with a drop of honey and a drop of olive oil. Now you'll be surprised. The antimicrobial and astringent qualities disinfect, pull the cut together for minimal scarring, and it promotes cell growth.

[@janohdegroot989]

I would think: don't put broken glass in a plastic bag.. 😊

[@alisonwestermann1875]

That's an antibiotic.

[@wooby9898]

Coconut oil or Lavender essential oil better no chemicals and yes I am a nurse.

[@wendydriggs1539]

If it was my farm I would make permanent fencing. Put a gate in a corner of each paddock. No more animals escaping and a lot less work each day. So much time spent every day moving fencing as it is now.

[@pmccoy8924]

But that isn't what joel his idol told him to do.

[@brownsugarhomestead]

The hive with all the bees outside isn’t swarming. That’s called bearding and they do it when they’re hot. Update. I after I typed this you said you bee mentor told you the same.

Loved seeing the footage of the kids helping when they were young - bring them up in the way they should go. Those summer colds seem to be tough this year here in NC . Rest is probably the best help. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

[@farmchick1464]

Have you thought about permanently fencing and cross fencing with gates to rotate through? That is the way we even keep our goats in, cows would be a snap. It prevents over grazing any one area and it also keeps coyotes and stray dogs out!

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

when they bought the farm ,they ripped out every permanant fence that was on the place

[@anjaschubert4086]

Das habe ich auch schon öfters geschrieben. Die Familie liest es aber nicht und macht sich gerne mehr Arbeit.🤷‍♀️

[@cassandrathatsme4382]

@farmchick1464 But then what would they film? Just opening and closing a gate? Far too simple, especially when the portable fencing company may be a sponsor. It is interesting, though, to see them struggle weekly with one animal or the other when the fix you suggest would solve the whole issue permanently. They've definitely thought of it because it's been mentioned here many times before. And they have given it a definite NO.

[@shadegarden7375]

You get cut…you WASH IT WELL!! Also, Bacitracin is excellent as the other gentleman said!!

[@JustinaFleming]

As someone who grew up with cattle, chickens, and working around horses...a lot of time is being wasted here running after escaped animals. Clearly this fencing situation isn't working out. While permanent fencing isn't the desired concept, it seems like it's time.

[@janicecorum4293]

Your children are an awesome tribute to your homestead. Your two oldest are now young men who know what needs to be done before you tell them! Maybe, start letting them do more of how they want to do things without interrupting them, if they fail, just be there to say, "let's try this." Great video!

I seriously don’t understand why your children don’t have cellphones, so you can call them when you need them instead of shouting your head off 😮😮😮 If you are worried about them spending time on discuss media, get the phone without internet access. If something’s happens while they are out in the woods or what ever, they can call for help .

[@annduffy1356]

I remember our pediatrician told us not to be concerned what a young child eats in a day but what they eat in a week and to offer a variety of foods to choose from. He just might not be actively growing right now!

Rotational grazing can work with permanent fencing. I do it. I have gates between fields. No animals get out, no running to and fro going crazy chasing animals. But then there would be not drama and frustration. The definition of stupid comes to mind, doing the same thing over and over and getting the same result. If you have the equipment to punch in posts make a secure fence and get rid of the chaos.

So acupuncture will help so much & herbs along with the needles.

🐝If the bee cooling off... maybe you can install an umbrella or shade above the hive or place them under a tree 🤗

[@user-zk4vi5hw6x]

I have just one horizontal bee hive. I dont take but quart at a time until I have done a gal for the yr. When they swarm I just let them go. The most important thing to me for my bees is that they pollinate my tress and garden. Since i have gotten it the bee pop AROUND HERE HAS GONE UP A LOT. I just wish the other farmers would stop using pesistied b/c for every 10 bees I got out there they kill 5.

I think Josiah is really beginning to resent the camera in his face. He's a maturing young man and is gaining his autonomy now and wants his privacy.

I have several autoimmune diseases that causes my skin to blister and bleed when move or do simple things. I have hashimodos and I had to get iron infusions at least every three month. B 12 shots every 6 week. Chronic pain syndrome , nerve damage after a botched surgery and several more ailments . Those autoimmune diseases are so bad that I had to be put in chemo .. Staying in bed, was never a possibility though . I would never have put that responsibility on my kids. It was was bad enough to handle the mental and emotional agony of having a sick parent ..
