Winter Crop Planting in the High Tunnel & Ethel Update!

[@conniefett3351]

Hi Erin. We stopped at the farm store tonight on our way back home to Iowa from the Yellowstone. We were later than we wanted to be because we got held up in a traffic stop for 1 hour and 20 minutes due to a semi crash. You were gone at a meeting in town but Jeff had the open sign still out and we stopped in. He sold us a couple shirts and some beef sticks. We had a real nice visit with him and compared Iowa to here. I raise Ile-De-France sheep and use to help my Dad with his cows before he retired. I raise corn and beans and Iowa is so much different than out here. You have a beautiful ranch. I wish you could have some of our rain. We are at about 28 inches for the year. Good luck with the rest of your haying. Thanks for the great content you provide for our viewing. Thanks Jeff for the hospitality and conversation. Bill and Connie Fett

Thoroughly enjoyed your post Erin, as always! Youre truly a joy! Thank you for sharing and teaching us... If you ONLY knew, girl, I couldn't grow dirt from self care dirt piles in the middle of the desert OR a forest! Thank you for explaining the Carrots and them hanging out, that explains a "Carrot Tree " (everything to her was a 'tree') my 4 yo Daughter grew in a pot that she was able to pull up Christmas Eve to feed Santas reindeer and it looked AMAZING! I had no clue.. shes not a Novice Master Carrot grower after all HA! (we wont tell her, shes still proud of herself and her reindeer treat carrot tree that lived and grew a huge treat, between that and her and her brothers planting JELLY BEANS the weekend of Easter and EB (Easter Bunny) makes them 'grow into lollipops' when he stops by, they get to 'pick' them Easter Morning, straight from their Jelly Bean Garden (they are 'planted' on floral foam in a pot, covered with crafting reindeer moss, perfect for the sucker sticks to hold the lollipops up) she can be a bit of a " I know more than you Mom," planter.. 😂 Have a wonderful week and be blessed!

That was so fun and wonderful information for people who need it. PPP is such a great thing. Thank you for all you do with them. I love you all. Hi Jeff. Thank you for helping our girl. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏻Granny B kisses for Ethel she does look better. 😘😘😘😘😘

[@diannescheid4637]

Erin, with your love, excellent care, and gentle patience Ethel will feel better physically and emotionally. Yes, they are animals but even in nature, animals surely mourn the loss of a baby. Even though I don’t have a patch of dirt to plant in, I sure enjoy watching and learning from you!! Another great video knocked out of the park!!

[@debwoods6011]

Really enjoy watching.. Glad I stuck around

[@joannwidney2764]

Yay! Ethel is back! You are doing a great job running the ranch. Hard working woman!

[@roncarlson8061]

Great video Erin very informative and poor Ethel looks so down,she will come back strong.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Ethel looks sweet. She will take her sweet time to get back to appreciating you. You have a good heart. Be well, take care

[@CountryKirby.]

I give her 2 days 😂

[@conniethompson2063]

very educational regarding the veggies and irrigation and planting

[@carolmahaffey3085]

Great video Erin! I've enjoyed getting to know you. I've learned so much about gardening from you. I'd love to see more videos, but I know they are time consuming and you have so much to do as it is. Ethel has the post partum blues. She misses her baby and she's been through a lot. Love and patience will help along with getting back to her routine. She probably still has a bit of pain and antibiotics make you feel crappy. She just needs time. Keep up the awesome job you're doing!

[@TheHarper11]

Sorry but I laughed my head off at Ethel's grumpy attitude. It brings back memories of some of the animals I had once. Anyway, loved the video. Learned some things about winter planting. Thanks.

[@kaycox5555]

You are doing a REMARKABLE job young lady!

[@lisabrasee2323]

Wow, Erin! Very informative video! My husband loves gardening . Some of tools you've shown are awesome! It would make things easier for his back. Ethel is such a sweetheart! She will come back. She has been thru a lot. Keep pampering her. Have a great week, OWL!😊

[@linjat-t2o]

Ethel wants things her way. You’re such a hard worker. Thank you for sharing this with us

[@Deborah-z3k]

When we had sows in the farrowing house…..sometimes they would get depressed….And the vet would have us give her vitamin B complex..And it did help within 24 hours..

[@deeg2000]

Great video Erin! So happy for you that Ethel is doing well and is back home. Glad to hear at the last part of the video she let you pet her! Take care and have a wonderful week

[@lindapeterson7166]

Hi Erin,Ethel is absolutely precious.She is being a bit snobbish today.😂Have a great week & take care.👋 to the children & Jeff.❤

[@cmoreson4281]

Erin the garden looks fantastic as always. Ethel looks better.👍

[@petelivingston9428]

I like the conversational tone, I don't know what use your information is to me yet, but class is in session.

[@rdyardie]

Ethel is interesting. She seems to know what she wants. Gardens sure do take a lot of work.

[@JohnnieReynolds-x9s]

[@melissacurtin7192]

Try giving her sugar cubes as a treat. Glad Ethel is doing better. She reminds me of Eyeore!

[@steveguest1653]

Give that beautiful young lady (Ethel) a little more time to recover. Garden looks great, time to eat. LOL

[@CountryKirby.]

Erin I have a question. I planted cucumbers and squash very close to each other. Was wondering will they grow successfully vertically if they are bunched together? Or do I need to find them a new spot and space them out. Hope u see this 😊💜💛

[@Daveco82]

Welcome home Ethel! she can't resist your smile Erin!

[@WarriorKnitter]

Love the garden content!

[@nezlquasie]

Lots and lots of petting will bring her around. Do the kids walk her around with a leash?😊❤

[@JanesDough855]

Great news about Ethel! Funny how mad animals can get. I had a cat that would do the same thing to me; but they get over it. Love your gardening videos.- tips and tricks.. How do you have time for all this work. You are Amazing!

[@lindahollister5530]

Hello. She looks really sad😢😢😢. I love your long hair.❤❤. That is a nice little seader. Save the back!!!!!!😅

[@evelynmueller6523]

So much information!! Who knew! Great tips and tricks for tools and planting much appreciated! Gardens look great Erin. So you have 2 high tunnels....how many other gardens are you actively planting in, and what would be the square footage there abouts with all those combined? I'm guessing some people don't know how MUCH garden space you are working.

[@dnurse3237]

Horse Plus Human Society rescues horses and donkeys. They rehab them and adopt them out. Give them a look

[@deborahswanberg6144]

😊

[@debthill8285]

DeJay over at Do Your Best or Arms Family Homestead gives her donkey carrots and apple flavored horse treats

[@Fatherfarmer-01]

modern irrigation system

[@matismf]

That apple would have been so much better with a lot of molasses on it!

[@GOOBERWAYNE1972]

Wish u would show steers and hogs

[@evelynmueller6523]

There are no pigs on the ranch other than Penelope who is in with the goats and is a pet. And she did show the steers over at the feed lot, as she was feeding and checking water.

[@mea3665]

Should have alpaca babies soon !

[@Ranch_Hand_Jeff]

Unfortunately, it appears the alpacas were not pregnant. We were told they had been exposed, but they are past their gestation term.

[@LarryParker-od6ie]

Erin, just curious do you grow tomatos ?

[@CharlesLScofieldJr]

Are the sweet potatoes grown from seed or is it like regular potatoes that grow from actual potatoe pieces. I forget what they actually call them. Also do you have a problem with rabbits? I live in the Denver area of Colorado. We have rabbits everywhere so that would be the one thing that keeps me from wanting to start a garden.

[@inbedduringcovid3005]

Apple sauce

[@ninjanana1272]

[@debbiemiddleton1668]

[@patrickb.richards1532]
