I ended up finding another couple to take care of them after a year and a half. I just couldn't give them the time they needed for grooming. I could keep them fed well, but we just didn't have the infrastructure in place to really give them the space they needed. I liked having them, but they ended up just not being a good fit for us.

I don't know? Is there something wrong with molassas and water? I just happened across this recipe and tried it. I don't know of other methods and their effectiveness.

I can't say it was entirely effective, however, we do notice quite a few of the offending bugs in the jugs, so it does catch some. I didn't get around to putting any out this year due to an upset in the family life that took a lot of my time, but last year we did. It does work to some degree, is what I can say at this point.

You are welcome! Good planting to you!

Nice! I haven't tried lentils. I'd like to try growing some in my garden though.

Very cool! So exciting to have seeds popping up. Walla Walla sweets can vary in size, up to jumbo, which is about softball size or maybe a bit larger. Good luck growing them - best onions ever!

I don't think I've tried mung bean. I have some alfalfa in a jar right now though. :) Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for the tips. The funny-shaped tree... I guess I'll need to watch the video again to see which tree you're referring to. Do you mean one of the plum trees?

Yeah, I know. I haven't wanted to bother with landscape fabric. It would help... But we also just can't afford it.

Sorry for the late response - you likely have figured out the answer. I meant to have Brent get on to answer, but we never did. It is indeed to be like that.

That's awesome you can grow enough to share. :) I'm working to clear out some things from my family area where we have big windows so I can grow stuff inside during the winter. I have a garden tower that I can use. It's taking awhile to get things cleared up though. Too much stuff! Lol! Glad you were able to learn something! Thanks!

I bought them from McMurray Hatchery. You will love them! So pretty!

Hey! Thanks for checking in with us. Life has gotten away with us...By August, we'd kinda given up gardening/farming for the year (the weeds really did us in!), and we had so much going on. It was overwhelming for us. So we just kinda pulled back on some activities, including making farm videos. I think we'll get back to it here in a bit. We've made decisions to run things a little differently, so we'll probably address that.

Aw, thank you! ❤

Thanks! :) Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad we could help!

Pugs are so full of character. :) Ours is, at least. Lol! Thank you!

I did not check the trans oil/grease but had read up on it and expected that to be the case. Since there’s no gears, just a clutch mechanism, I’m not too surprised it’s not a liquid 🤷‍♂️

I'm confused. there is literally a sticker on it that say's GREAR DRIVE transmission. There is also a sticker that says use only 85w 140 gear oil. @@BrentBerghermPhotography

@@Bill-Rocker yes I just read the user manual and that’s the correct oil. I’ve never cracked it open to inspect it or to check the level yet 🤷‍♂️

I just bought 1, it also looks like jelly in the transmission, is it ok?

I can't tell you if it's ok or not. I see no way it works very well in my mind. I spent about an hour scooping it out through the fill plug.I ran it forward/reverse, scoop some more, fill repeat. I got out a lot and filled it with 90 / 140w or something similar.@@TomTom-io8lc

Good deal! Glad to help!

Sweet! It's a great challenge! I've been so busy off the farm so far this month that I haven't really had time to put something up. I should work on that this week. Thanks!

I just picked three white ones yesterday! WIll be interesting to try them out.

Hola! Buen dia!

Yes, I'll plan to plant those this fall. I'll probably save some of the garlic cloves to plant as well, so I don't have to buy more. Unless I want to try different varieties...

Thank you! I have tried fixing ratatouille before, but not a fan. The texture of eggplant, along with zucchini and summer squash, is not something I'm used to. I'm trying to get to like them though... or at least tolerate. I have had an eggplant parmagiano before that was quite tasty. Just need to find a good recipe for it now.

Isn't it great?! So nice to have that chore done! Now just need to sell them... lol!

Thank you so much! :)

Interesting! I'll have to give it a try. I just picked some this morning - will be trying to sell them, but if there are any left over, I'll be cooking it up for the family. Thanks!

Typically, garlic is planted in the fall and picked in the early summer (June-ish). It may depend on what growing zone you live in though. I'm most familiar with growing zone 7. You will want probably want to dig up the others. Use what you want, and then you can replant the others in the fall.

190 to the door lets go

Woah! Crazy! Just about want to go buy another one at that price!

Definitely stock up when you can find them! Hopefully they'll have them again for the next growing season.

I don't add anything. I only give them pellet feed, clam shells or crushed eggshells, scratch grains, and then whatever greens/kitchen scraps/garden stuffs, and they get whatever bugs and such.

@quarter-milefarm9733 so how do you know when they have eaten enough? What signs do you look for to know they need more?

@@jampackedfamilycountrylivi8022 They stop eating when they've had enough. I can usually tell if they're still hungry by the end of the day if they come running to see me like they do in the morning when I first feed them. This happened last night, so I ended up giving them a bit more feed. General practice is to give 4-6 oz of food per day per chicken (grains/pellets), and then give them any extras lke table scraps and foraging. So you can weigh it all out until you get a feel for how much that is.

Yes, they are kept in a separate pen so they don’t make an appearance in this video.

We do! We have 3 hens and a rooster hanging out together.

Danke! Tag!

Brent has a great talent with being able to figure out how to fix things. The farm has certainly given him many opportunities to fix things. Lol!

@@quarter-milefarm9733 so it seems we are having a vole issue. Any tips?

I wish I had some. We have the same issue. In a local group, some people suggest putting pinwheels in the ground, or other things that will vibrate the ground. They say the voles don't like the vibrations... We haven't tried that yet. So far, the voles stay out in the pasture area and not in my garden, so I haven't felt the need to redue the population yet. Our cats have caught one from time to time, so a good farmcat would be good to employ. 😉

@@quarter-milefarm9733 ok thank you. We have one cat that has been catching some but not enough

@@jampackedfamilycountrylivi8022 we have four field cats. Still not enough 😭 (but they do alright I suppose)

I can probably do a video about Blackberry lemonade! :) Crater Lake is absolutely stunning! Definitely a must-see if you make it to Oregon. The entire Oregon coast is beautiful too, with Bandon, OR, being among my favorite little towns to visit. I've been to Tennessee several times, the first being when I was 6 or 7. I've had various relatives living there over the years that we've visited, and I've always enjoyed it.

Thank you! I learned a ton. I’ve another video to put together on our little pump. Very different issue but still wouldn’t pump 🤯

Thank you! 😎

Gracias!

Thank you - life always brings up some interesting options sometimes - hard to know what we should do in some cases, but for now anyway, we will continue farming our little plot of land. :) My customer makes rhubarb pies to sell at a local farmer's market, so she goes through the rhubarb - this was her 2nd order from me this season.

I just saw that Hobby Lobby yarns have their 30% sale now... so I'm headed there this afternoon. Lol! I actually HAVE to buy some yarn. I'll explain it a video I'll make about it soon. Hee hee! I just love these rhubarb plants! Can't believe how big they get!

@@quarter-milefarm9733 I went to Joannes, clearance yarn and an extra 40% off. I bought some O Go yarn. I have to have so much self control when I shop for yarn! I only bought 3.

@@kathymckissock5100 Self-control is so hard sometime! Lol!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad we got that arbor done. Well... mostly done. The cross bars on top aren't fastened at all. Lol!

Thank you! I have so much more to show you all! Coming hopefully soon!
