This Small Mistake Had a BIG Imapct 😡 😭

[@seanwright8786]

I really wouldn't consider this a mistake. You guys yielded a lot of fruit so this actually served the purpose that you two projected. I sent all 3 of your videos on the cattle panel greenhouse to a friend of mine that is a new owner of 26 acres in Hawkinsville, Georgia. Great work guys

[@ODriscolls]

Oh wow! Thank you! It did give us fruit and I really enjoyed watering the plants and watching them grow. Just a painful ending I guess

[@monikastep5711]

OMG I was pre-emptivaly laughing thinking the chickens were going to get the rest of your tomatoes ;-) Those darn cute sheep..... oh you will have the last laugh.... lamb chops ;-)

[@ODriscolls]

We most certainly will! LOL

[@loriegroth2472]

So devastating. I don’t know how pioneers did it? Homesteading requires so much resilience and I’m glad you capture the highs and lows. Congrats on the wood stove. You’ll love it. And enjoy the lamp chops this winter, too!

[@ODriscolls]

I totally agree! I we certainly will lol they had a fun day at least

[@downforwhatever67]

Ah the frustration of a small lapse wrecking your hard work. And ya salvaged it! The lettuce and spinach will be grand! Everything looks great. Especially excited about your wood stove! Please give us a look at it soon! Congratulations on a great summer season and to what will be a fine Fall.

[@ODriscolls]

Thanks so much David! I will get some nice shots once we have it on! Waiting for that cool air now :)

[@cindylarade3571]

Ah man.....I can't imagine your pain, when you realized the sheep got into your greenhouse. They're lucky you're still feeding them lol. Enjoy your long weekend & have a great week!

[@ODriscolls]

They are definitely lucky! It was very disappointing

[@glengillis7775]

Black bear got into our garden. They like squash and 🌻 sunflowers. It will add flavor to you sheep meat. Look positive it's easier. Good luck on the fall crop. I have spinach and radishes growing now. Cooling down fast in Alberta

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

I’m so sorry Jenny. I’ve had deer eat all my tomatoes this year, didn’t get a single harvest from my tomatoes plant’s this year besides a handful of cherry tomatoes 😢. Way to be positive and carry on. 💩happens and all we can do is make the best of it.

[@ODriscolls]

Absolutely! I have had it pretty easy compared to many!

[@robine916]

Your daughter trying to reattach the "not red enough" tomato made my day!💕

[@ODriscolls]

She is a real character! hahaha

[@colleen2386]

When do the sheep go to the gallows? I had a huge garden a few years ago. Took a few days off and on the third day went to go to work in the beautiful garden. The horn worms had eaten most of it. I just sat down and cried. So much work goes into it, hours and hours with lots of anticipation for the rewards. Makes kickin some sheep assets seem logical to me. Toasty wood stove will be a godsend with the prices these days.

[@ODriscolls]

Oh I would cry as well! It is a sad thing. It takes so much time. The woodstove will be a nice addition this winter

[@cjduey]

These first weeks back to school work days are draining to begin with already... Deep breath (s)... Good on you for always pushing forward... Cause you right, we just have to {raised shoulders emote}

[@FullonFamilywithoutlimits]

Yes to the Woodstove 👍👍 Fantastic news! I’m surprised the sheep didn’t eat more! We’re considering taking our polytunnel plastic off ahead of the storm 😫 The growing season is ending too soon!!! Stay safe! Kristen x

[@ODriscolls]

I hope you're all ready to go! Stay safe to you too!!

[@FullonFamilywithoutlimits]

@@ODriscolls just finished… everything is set and we have chocolate and storm chips!!

[@kevinrowbotham545]

Oh that's too bad! I'm so sorry that happened. I wish we could give you tomatoes as we harvested all of five hundred pounds of tomatoes this year. The lamb will be especially tasty this winter. There is nothing like a wood fire to improve your mood. Thanks for the update. You worked pretty hard doing all the chores and making the video! Take care guys!

[@ODriscolls]

That is a lot of tomatoes! Thanks Kevin! It definitely adds a bit of an extra chore on top of chores to film it haha

[@kevinrowbotham545]

Documenting chores is drudgery for sure! We've so far canned tomato paste, tomato sauce, tomato juice, crushed tomatoes, green tomato mincemeat and salsa verde! You wouldn't know it Haha!

[@donnamacleod2947]

Oh Jenny,I'm so sorry the sheep caused such a mess! Better days ahead! The lamb will be good to eat. Hope you have a great week ahead! Congratulations on getting a wood stove!

[@ODriscolls]

Thank you so much!

[@rosemaryhoulihan8979]

Loved loved loved Jeannie carrying the eggs in her dress and trying to climb the stairs with them!!

[@Mythos131]

Oh too bad about your tomatoes, but at least you still get many of the nutrients from them, just not in the way you expected! The wood stove will be a very nice addition this winter.

[@ODriscolls]

That is so true! When I stop eating vegetables in the winter it is up to the meat to give me nutrients lol

[@nancyobrien7994]

I guess you won't be sad at "lamb chop" time! 🤣

[@ODriscolls]

bahahaha you are correct

[@Mythos131]

I'm sure you're preparing well--good luck with Fiona O'Driscoll Family

[@ODriscolls]

We're doing our best! Thank you!

[@aj15549]

Oh my Jenny. Too bad but you rallied after the disappointment and did positive projects..and I'm sure the sheep thought they were in heaven.

[@ODriscolls]

Hahahaha they had a great time I am sure!

[@eulerizeit]

The sides are holding up well to the tomatoes hanging.

[@ODriscolls]

I also noticed that! A bonus!

[@sharonherman4284]

The meat from the sheep may taste a whee bit better this winter.

[@ODriscolls]

It certainly will lol

[@hosseinamanpour6595]

My question is do you have permit for your house in this land?!?because i am considering to buy land just like yours in santa cruz mountain but it does bot have permit for house and it is kinda imposible to get it because it is super expensive So how important is that? I can build whatever i want with out any permit,do you think haveing home permit is necessary or not

[@SOJAProductions]

Are you going to be posting again? I miss ur videos!!

[@ODriscolls]

I just posted! Thank you so much for your support! We are back to weekly videos :)

[@vttsantana]

Thank you it's shows that you're human we all make mistakes

[@Harlsmonster]

That's the shits! But you picked the best Clean Up music to help the task!

[@Harlsmonster]

Also the two tiny helpers are a bonus. I love Jeannie's bun lol

[@ODriscolls]

Hahaha she was being too cute this day

[@marknichols7861]

The green tomatoes could be used for green tomato chutney… You’ll have to make some mint jelly for the lamb dinners.

[@ODriscolls]

Lamb dinners would be on the menu earlier if we didn't have to wait for the cold weather lol

[@garrettancel]

What county do you guys live in? I was looking to buy a parcel of land in NS and would like to know a good place to start a hobby farm.. Thank you!

[@ODriscolls]

We're near the highlands on Cape Breton Island. I grew up on the island which is why we chose here. I think I would choose somewhere on the mainland if I didn't have these ties.

[@jordanmaerz7852]

The oldest lesson on a farm, close all doors and gates Put springs on everything!

[@holmesteadridge]

Hi, Jenny. I have really missed your videos. I hope all is well with you and the family.

[@ODriscolls]

Hello and thank you :) we have just posted a video, back to weekly. We appreciate your support :)

[@motivatedbydesigns]

Wow just wow but thanks for sharing great video as always

[@ODriscolls]

I know! hahaha Thanks David!

[@trunkseleste]

I'm so sad for your greenhouse 😱

[@ODriscolls]

You and me both!

[@novascotiabeekeeper848]

hindsight is 20/20 but if you attach bungie cords to the door it will spring shut and you wont have to think about it

[@ODriscolls]

Ah this is a very good idea!

[@FernHillOhio]

Shout out to the tomato at 1:20... He knew he was rotting but he was doing his best to keep it together.

[@ODriscolls]

Bless him, he was trying his best! hahaha

[@teresamackenzie9896]

I hope you all safely make it through Fiona

[@ODriscolls]

Thank you so much for thinking of us Teresa! We're all bunkered down ready to wait her out!

[@teresamackenzie9896]

We have not heard from you in awhile. Hopefully you have power by now and are cleaned up.

[@landondolanz2844]

Ok so we haven't heard from you since the storm... hopefully everything is OK!

[@grahamtudnojones1991]

A kong time since we heard from you

[@ODriscolls]

Sorry Graham! I just posted and plan to continue to post weekly. We appreciate your support so much!

[@tommerrill7618]

Lamb chops!

[@sharonpayne8187]

can a spring help

[@dylanellis1972]

Hope Fiona wasn't too hard on ya's, thinking your homestead!

[@xxeebbk]

You'll ultimately be eating the lambs who ate your produce, so you're still coming out on top here.

[@ODriscolls]

That is very true!

[@daleodriscoll7617]

Greetings from another O’Driscoll from Alaska, enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the good work.
