We've never tried it. They're too precious for our stir fry. :) We'd probably like it. My favorite pickled thing is picked beets.

Thanks! Our goal is 75 quarts this year.

Ha ha. They are pretty great! A few years ago at our old house, grasshoppers we're decimating our garden. I made tunnels for the chickens to go down the rows, and the grasshoppers were gone within a few days.

Thanks a bunch. We have fun with it. :)

He says thanks! :)

I just can't believe how fast they're growing. I feel like they've doubled in size since we got them.

Thanks! It was a fun one for the kids and worked great!

These are different than chokecherries. We have those here too. They are much more sour and take a lot of sugar to make syrup. These are huckleberries and are a wild blueberry. They're much sweeter and don't have a seed.

They are so tasty. We love putting them in our pancakes, ice cream, toppings, etc. They have such great flavor!

I guess you already saw it. :) You are very welcome.

We just added another video to try answering this for you. :)

Our dehydrator doesn't have a temperature setting. The Internet says it is like between 125 and 165 degrees. It took about twelve hours to dry.

We're going camping to pick huckleberries next week. We like to do raspberry/huckleberry jam as well. :)

@@claraanderson1305 the kids having been begging for quite some time. Our oldest has had pigs on his Santa list for a couple years now. :)

No. They are from two separate mares.

Good guess. We'll see. :)

Great guesses. We'll find out soon. :)

@@JasRaymond1 They love the kids! They know they get treats when the kids talk with them. :)

Yep. We pulled about fifteen altogether.

@@jenniferd1111 there are so many cute ones in this litter. We're kind of partial to the solid cream colored one. :)

Ha ha. Thanks for your feedback. :)

​@@familyfunhomesteadingandDIY don't pay attention to them- it was a great video. We used a similar technique to get stubborn T-posts out of the ground (decomposed granite absolutely won't let go of those things if the ground is dry), and it works great!

@@advena996 thanks for your kindness. We always need to spread more of it. :)

Thanks! I'll have to give that a try sometime. I've heard that works really well. :)

Ha ha. Sounds good. :)

Thanks for the great tips! I've never thought of using a towel to help herd them along. :)

I've never heard of that. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Ha ha. I wouldn't mind getting bumped to a zone 6 growing zone or something like that. :)

It's so frustrating! We're in the best water year we've seen in years with most of our reservoirs completely full. The issue is a fight between ground water farmers versus surface water irrigators. They are fighting because our aquifers under ground are low. So sad for 500,000 acres of farmers.

Yeah, it's so sad. They've turned off the water to 500,000 acres of farmland in Idaho. I'm very worried for them. We're going on two weeks without water and no agreement in sight.

Thanks for your kindness! We love what we do, and we love our country! :)

They're pretty awesome kids...despite having imperfect parents! :)

It has worked great for us. I've done a few follow up short videos to show how well they work for eating the grass. :)

Believe it or not, she's all girl. :)

She is full of life, that is for sure! :)

The kids were loving it. :)

I have some other videos showing before and after of how well they do eating and weeding if you're interested.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for your feedback. :)

Yep. It's probably our favorite spring treat! I always loved harvesting it off ditch banks with my grandma as a kid.

@@familyfunhomesteadingandDIY Oma?

My grandma and I had a special relationship. We did lots together. Asparagus hunting was just one of the many. :)

It just depends. Sometimes they go quickly and other times it takes forever. I think part of it is how many other people in the area are trying to sell at the same time.

Yep. It is meant to mimic how they would live together in the wild normally. :)

Yes, ours do too! Some years I'll dry the husks and then store them in feed bags for the winter.

They do. They're always running from one end to the other. :) I like that it gives them more space and access to grass to eat.

They are standard Rex rabbits. They have the softest fur of any rabbit breed. They make great pets but can also be used as meat rabbits if desired.

It just means that you are raising them together and allowing them to breed and raise bunnies on their own schedule. I hope that helps. :)

I know. :) I got a little chuckle out of it when I read the article.

You bet! I'm glad it was helpful! ☺️

Nice, simple explanation. German-American farmers used to say, "Prune so that you can throw a cow through the tree."

@@bruceboettcher9977 Ha ha. I love that.;)

Thanks! We ordered them from Kriegers nursery. They were the cheapest we found. We're also getting some strawberries to companion plant.

@@familyfunhomesteadingandDIY great!

The run is still connected to the coop, so they sleep in that. It keeps them safe at night. We've used the tunnel all last summer and fall and haven't had any losses. We have lots of hawks, owls, and a few eagles that fly around, and it is great for protecting from aerial predators. Things like skunks and raccoons haven't be brave enough to come during the day either.

Yep and he's super sweet. My son spoils him. :)

He's a standard Rex, so he's super soft as well.
