Thanks! We also had to bring in compost. We needed much more than we were able to make…we also added fish meal, kelp meal, bat guano and bonemeal. Thanks for stopping by!

Awe! I’m so happy you get the chance to see what’s going on! I am equally blessed for our time!!! 💚

Hi! Great to hear from you again too! Thanks! Yes, the grapes are looking better than ever! I can’t wait to see all the food we pull out of here! By far the largest garden I’ve ever had! Thanks for swinging by!

So true!!🌱🌿🌳

Thank you!!

It really is. Takes my breath away sometimes. 💚

It really is! I’m also looking forward to seeing all the growth this year. I’m going to spread some compost but then watch them and see if they might need something more… their roots are very, very old and go down really far, so I’m hoping they will find what they need, but I’ll let you know if I add something more. Thanks for swinging by the farm!

They are!! I’m so excited to see what they look like during the rest of this growing season! Great to hear from you! Thanks for letting us know you stopped by!

That was my grandpa! Thanks for sharing this with me! He actually came here and helped us get settled for the first month! And thanks for checking out our channel and swinging by the farm! Hope you enjoy watching it all unfold, we have big dreams!

I understand how to prune manicured grapes… but this is something I haven’t had the chance to try. We still got grapes off these and I still would like to this year. These were planted in the early 80s and while some of them I took back more than others, and I do plan to slowly train them, just not worth not have any grapes this year in my opinion.

Thank you!

Yes, I agree, eventually it may. We had a lot of grapes last year even being so neglected, so I am trying to preserve a little harvest for this year.

I would love to provide these. I’ll look into how to send them in to the world.

Thanks! Will absolutely do! The buds are just starting to swell, I’ll do an update when we start getting some growth! And I’ll show you how I’m going to do a secondary prune! Thanks for swinging by the farm!

Happy to help! Grapes are so vigorous! A blessing and a curse lol

Northern California, right below Oregon. We’re at about 750 ft but we’re in a valley and the mountains around us are about 2000-3000. Lots of micro climates.

Depending where you are you can still do this! My neighbors have a vineyard and are still pruning. I’ll do another update when we start getting leaves and show you the next secondary prune I will be doing. I’d love to help you get grapes again! If you have some dry days, at least 3-4 days go out and get all the dead stuff out.

Also, remember you only get grapes off of last years new vines. Everything else is just taking energy. And, Ideally you want just a couple of vines to keep it manageable.

Haha! Thanks Buddy. I thought I was just getting chubby.

That is exactly why he runs backwards! Travis has had 3 knee surgeries and runs to keep the muscles strong to avoid replacements for as long as possible. Yes! We agree about the garden! And we think reading your own is so important! Not to get caught up in there’s only one right way to do something! The bread turned out perfectly! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks! Yes, the green Thompson grapes 😊

Its fun for us too! This is first time we’ve had a good snow that lasted more than a couple hours. Pretty cool to see it in all its moods. Happy we can share this with you, even afar 💜

Glad it worked!

🤣🤣🤣 normally we do too! Lol but I called her off just after she caught it, and it was unharmed for the most part.. I couldn’t let what people hunt go to waste. This is our first winter here, so I don’t t know how normal this weather is, but it sure is pretty. And thanks! I love this poncho! It’s wool and so warm! I found it at a street fair in the heat of the summer 🤣 it wasn’t fun to carry it that day… but I’ve never regretted it!

We’re glad you enjoyed getting caught up with the homestead happenings! I’ve never found a good pair of gardening gloves that I like! They always make my hands sweaty! Lol Maverick is such a ham 🤣 but he makes me smile and I love sharing that with you all too. So thankful to have a dry, warm home with a fire for sure! Thanks for checking in 💚

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! There’s something special about water that makes you want to slow down a little bit and just be…except the dog lol Thanks for hanging out and taking a walk in the woods with us.

As pretty as a postcard 😊 Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!

We really enjoyed ourselves! Thanks for coming along!

We’re so happy you enjoyed it. Such a beautiful day! Im not sure if all the trees will make it… we will have to go back up after everything melts. And the River is still silty, and will probably be for a little while… there’s still work to be done, but it will happen! Thanks again, and so glad you enjoyed the walk!

Oops ! 😂 Just seen the rest of the video. Sorry, I went to make a cup of tea and missed it first time around 😅 ❤😅

Yes we do, but once the ashes turn white they loose a lot of the nutrients, but it’s the easiest way for us to dispose of them 😊 The best is the black stuff! So when we are burning outside we try to remember to water it down before it all turns white.

I dont know how many baskets I would have to make to get this under control 🤣 but I am excited to have a purpose for it too! I’m looking forward to sharing that process with you, the vines need to dry first, and then soak again, and then I can get to the weaving process…. So keep an eye out here in a few weeks! Thanks for stopping by the farm and hanging out for a few 💚

Yes! We will! We would love to share that process as well. And thank you! Little by little it feel like it’s coming together 😊

😅

🤣🤣🤣 Yes!! But we still need to prepare for them and build them a home! There’s still plenty! Believe me! Lol

I did not know this about ivy! Im going to research this more. Thanks for sharing this information and for stopping by the farm for a few.

Neither did I 🤣💪 Yes! I dont even feel like we made a dent in the ivy! So many baskets could be made! Looking forward to sharing the baskets with you! Thank you for always taking a moment to hang on the farm with us and leave a comment, it really helps a small channel like ours.

I’m glad you noticed!! I love that you enjoy the little things in life too! Thanks for swinging by the farm!

We are in Northern California. The more recent videos give a better idea of the area around here! And thank you, it stole our hearts! Thanks for swinging by the farm!

It’s would be pretty funny to send compost across the country 🤣 No baby chicks yet, and we still have some work to do before we get goats.. but it’s on the horizon! Thanks for always tuning in and leaving a comment. We really appreciate it!

Still practicing with the drone, but we’re getting better! Yes! No shortage of beaver work around here! 🤣 Looking forward to seeing what it looks like after we’re done with this area!

Yes, it’s been a debate for years… In my opinion, the ecological disaster started a century ago when we started damming this river… But basically what happened was the power company that owned these dams didn’t want to pay for the repairs they needed to keep up with new codes so they sold the dams to the state. The tribes around here have been working really hard to preserve the salmon, and the farms up river really dont want to loose their irrigation and man made lake front property so that’s why there’s some debate. Either way the dams had to come down. It will take some time to make it look pretty again and clear out all the sediment and restore the rivers edges after being under a lake. We will probably swim in it any way 🤣

Thanks for the information. Hopefully, the river will be healthy again soon.@@suntimefarm

🤞🍀

A little bit of everything we can!! Depends on how many beds we can get together lol Some things on the top of the list are peppers, tomatoes, pumpkins and melons.

Homegrown tomatoes are 1000% better tasting (and more nutrient dense) than store bought tomatoes.

@@MrDontcareify true that!!

Thanks! It’s been fun to watch the transformation!

Yes! Not too far off at all! We really need to get some more garden beds going! More aerial shots coming soon! Thanks for coming along on this journey with us!

Yes! It always amazes us too at how open the forest feels after clearing out the under brush! We will have to share more madrone trees for you! They are so beautiful! I hope the chickens dont mind getting locked up but they’ve been hanging on our porch and we’re not big fans of the little piles they leave 😜🤣 Thanks for hanging on the farm!

Thank you. Yeah, I’ve never pruned such old grape vines before! So this will be fun to see how they grow this year! Thanks for hanging on the farm!

Thank you! Sometimes we don’t realize how important water is until we don’t have it! So happy to have it fixed! Thanks stopping by the farm!

No, the tank is manually filled, we have an alarm to turn it on and off every couple days so we don’t forget about it lol. Once the water is in the tank, it has an electric pump that goes through a series of filters before coming into the house. When we do not have power we do not have filtered water so we save water on hand for drinking. We’re learning a lot out here! So glad you’re following along 💚

Lol it’s on the list already 🤣 We’ll get there one day lol No, we just call it a little shovel, but maybe we should adopt his name. We are so thankful to have running water again! We definitely don’t take it for granted any more!

Thank you! We’re are definitely testing ourselves! And learning so much!

Thank you! And yes! Lol
