Congratulations on the baby!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you!!

[@metalmartha2571]

Hi Jill & Nat! Try spraying your aphid infested plants with milk! (One-to-one ratio of water and milk) the milk sticks to the wings of aphids and little fungus flies, they can’t fly so they die. Works like a charm! Living traditions Homestead just did a video on it a couple weeks ago. Congratulations on your new munchkin! Such a bunch of hard workers💖

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you for the tip

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Your absolutely blooming and gorgeous 🥰🥰

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Aww thank you friend 😊

[@AlgiereRanch]

That garden is beautiful... Also trying the fermented veggies!! 👏👏

[@LisaJones_02]

I love how you hang your herbs on a pegboard. Maybe in a future video you can tell us more about it. Love your channel

[@MFaith777]

We hang some of our herbs from a wire on the wall, but my only question with this method is that some things take a long time to dry out and then they get dusty. I wonder if she ever has this issue? We end up putting some in paper bags instead because of this. Not as pretty though LOL

[@AlgiereRanch]

👏👏👏

[@richeleschoening7782]

You are absolutely glowing beautiful and happy to hear you are keeping busy in a restful way. Great job mama. The king protects the queen and Nathan adores you.

So sweet Nathan built you shelves. Every time I feel anxious, or at a road block, my husband knows just what to do to get me back on track -- or at least feeling better.

I had a goat kid with bloat. I would pick him up and hold him with a little pressure on his belly and pat him like burping a baby. It work every time. After every bottle he would get burped. After about a week he was just fine.

[@taylormesa6166]

Ohhh Nathan can you share your stir fry recipe? That sounds wonderful!

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Stir fry recipe: Feeds 2 adults & 2-3 kids 1 cup of long grain rice or quinoa While it’s boiling, add tablespoon of cumin, tumuric, salt, and smoked paprika. In a cast iron skillet, sauté onions first. After 5 minutes add shaved carrots, green beans, zucchini or asparagus. You can really use your favorite vegetables here. In the winter we use broccoli or cauliflower. Sauté veggies for about 20 minutes. For the protein, you can use anything cooked to your liking. When I plate it, I start with the starch on the bottom, mixed veggies on top, then diced avocado. Last I will top with your protein of choice and chopped parsley or cilantro. Lastly I’ll add fermented beets or radishes for some zing. We’ve also used lime or your favorite vinaigrette for zing. Hope you enjoy - Nate

😬😬😬 I’ve always stayed away from fermented foods, idk why. I just never really cared for them. But I’m going to buy that book you recommended and try on my own! Also, we just sent our pigs off to be processed, and so for the past couple months I’ve been dealing with a VERY smelly husband! Lol 😂 thank goodness they’re off to the cooler, and I’m excited for our own pork! I’ll be praying for you the next week as you prepare to welcome baby boy!! Love you guys!!! Thanks for the videos!

On the lamb... have you made sure it can poop? We had one born that did not have that ability. He was bloated as well when we finally realized the problem. It is sad but it happens sometimes.

You are such a beautiful mother to be, With a stunning glow!! I hope it doesn't go this long for you but it doesn't look like you had dropped any at all looks like you still holding him high. Hopefully you don't have to wait this long but maybe he will be born on a full moon.

[@shelbymarks1169]

An info packed video-thank you! As for freezing tomatoes, I have plum tomatoes ripening slowly and want to process a lot for sauce all at once, so can I freeze them as they ripen, then process later on-do you just put the frozen tomatoes in boiling water to blanch then process as usual for sauce? Btw, you look beautiful and so lovely in your pregnancy! ❤️

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

@@shelbymarks1169 yes you can freeze as they ripen. That’s what we are doing as well. Thank you for the compliments 😊

[@patriciamiller1916]

This Grammie so doesn't have near that harvest!! I got maybe 10 green beans before the heat took the plants 110! Tomato plants began producing when it hit 111 and I did have to grab what I could before they split. Oh and forget the Zucchini! Great plants zero female flowers so gave up and last night chopped those plants down!! I do have two..get that TWO butternut squash that are maybe 5-6 inches long and I have been trying to pollinate when and if I get a female flower. My point? I can sure enjoy your garden and plants to harvest. At least someone will be eating right fine!!

[@rooteddinfaithjourney]

I have to do that too with my tomatoes..in my case..birds..

[@anneg8319]

Regarding lamb: if you have kefir and kefir whey for him.

[@sharonknorr1106]

So I grow almost exclusively paste tomatoes with one cherry tomato for fresh eating and sun-dried tomatoes. All I do is wash them off and freeze them, then thaw later for a really fresh tasting tomato sauce in the middle of winter. Just made sauce yesterday with two of my remaining four bags of frozen tomatoes. Also have a little garlic left over from last year and am harvesting this year's crop right now. It's nice when it works out like that. My second baby came right on her due date after a purposely bumpy ride home on country roads after seeing a movie - went into labor about an hour after getting home.

Kiwi, cucumber and pineapple mixture for goat baby belly?
