Sweet sweet Miah
How is that weeping willow tree you planted with the kids by the big pond doing?!!
Also, I love your closing blessing! I hope it doesn't get cut short too many times! <3
Where have you gone?! I feel like we are missing the good stuff of setting up the new place!
Hey roots and refuge family. There is a system that's mobile and it seems like it might be very useful to u guys on your new land. A fellow YouTuber named perma pastures farm has something he calls a chicken tractor on steroids.
Could you make a video on the fall/winter Greenstalk? Like setting it up with soil and the plants you would grow? That would be awesome!
Welcome to zone 8! My Gaskins Perpetual and Victoria varieties of Rhubarb do REALLY well here in 8B (PNW). I will say I think it's gets hotter there in NC so your rhubarb may go to seed every year, but just cut them off and your plant will be fine (or leave them they're lovely).
I'm still waiting for Closed Captions to show up.. Will it be in the future?? Thx.
How about a devotional!
Im not sure you ever had this issue with your teens. But we went from small town in town to in the country off grid homestead. ALL of my children were excited. No neighbors. Less bills. More area to play. They wantted small livestock. Moved in Jan 2019 and when Covid hit, man were we thankful!!
But now Im getting the "I didnt choose this life from my teens. And my adult children (who had initially lived at home and since abandoned their animals) are backing the teens who are now complaining. Im just spent at this point. But im afraid of mi imizing the animals too much due to the covidBS. Anyone got advice?
If you plant the asparagras patch between the animals and yur house you will eliminate the ability to see the goats after the asparagras goes to seed….a full mature asparagras plant will get to about 5 feet tall and block your view from your porch to the pasture…
Check out Chateau Life. In one of their vlogs they built a floating duck house.
So what area of South Carolina, We are thinking of moving down there from PA
Al lumnah just built a floating deck on his new pond on his new place maybe get some idea from that for floating house………channel name is Lumnah Acres
Jess have you ever tried chaffhaye for your alpacas? I use it for my goats – a fermented alfalfa . It’s great!!!
Also beet pulp pellets are AMAZING helped my goats put weight on and turned their coarse coats silky smooth- not sure if it works for alpacas but we love it
I would second guess that school thing. I'm getting ready to yank mine out of middle school after the first week because of covid. The only person I give a f*** about in this world has covid now on a ventilator in the hospital and he is a homesteader. Not gonna lie, saying covid isn't real or people claiming to have the vaccine and not wearing masks in public… All are in imminent danger if I hear that in my immediate vicinity.
Put trackers on your dog’s collars.
Tip. INVISIBLE FENCE!
Are you going to attach those small cameras on fence all around so you are able to see everything? You are so close by the wild life, not scaring just think 🙂
I tried to grow rhubarb for the last 4 years with no luck. Until this year when a friend gave me starts from hers. She grows it in large pots that she moves into an unheated garage in the winter. Mine in pots have grown wonderfully this summer. I've read that rhubarb grows best in well drained soil.
We're in east cental Missouri.
Wishing a healthy and happy school year for the kiddos!
Big, big changes! WOW! What a joy to watch your journey.
Just sit and get quiet! Jess what a wonderful thing. I need to do that daily.
How far away from the chicken house were those chickens. They were bugging far from perch it seemed. I haven't ever seen that.
I'm so sad to hear about your decision to put the kids in public school. But understand we all have a choice. I hope they do well-
