Backseat Farming
Добавлен 24 фев 2023
We're leaving the 80-hour work week life in Seattle. Time for family and farming.
Coming home from visiting family
After being gone for a week visiting family, it's time to start harvesting from the garden and figuring out what's left to do before winter comes.

We packed up and left upstate NY to move to the family farm in North Dakota. It was a busy first week trying to unpack, start a garden, and get the cows some kind of pasture fenced. We can't wait to see what we can accomplish here.

Our heat sources in the house both rely on the power being on. If the power goes out this winter, we need an independent source. We install a wood-burning stove in the garage.

Freezer full of pork back from the butcher
We finally got a handle on the gopher problem here using TomCat bait chunks. Made bait stations using boards with a couple of spikes. Just did sauerkraut on Monday about 15 gallons worth. We tried the raised bed thing...a lot of work to to keep watered during dry weather and also problems with freeze out during typical winter temps. Your garden is really doing well for as late as it was put in. We've trimmed the runners and blossoms off the squash so the plants will concentrate on finishing the fruit that is on it. Any new fruit added to the vines now probably won't amount to much.
@@greatnorthernn-3154 thank you for all the great advice, it didn’t occur to me that the plants might not survive in raised beds here. I guess I’ll have to try to get the gophers under control first, I’ll try the bait because they’re taking over everything here.
19:28 Can’t tell you how much it warms my heart to see the dream we envisioned of children being raised on a place that was so loved and special to us! I love watching family history being made chapter by chapter. Watching your videos bring both tears and laughter! Can hardly wait til next one! Colt, you are one great farmhand to mom and dad and the best big brother I know!! 🎉
The Garden is Huge!! Colt driving the four Wheeler is Awesome! Good to see the boys & frogs too😉 Love You All ❤️
Get you bare foot in that tiller, you’ll wish you hadn’t.
I just learned that dahlias and zinnias are edible!! 🤯
Been living in central ND for 4 years after living in southern Orange County CA for my whole 23 years of life (now 27). More practical to raise a family, everything is cheaper for the most part, and people are nicer. I’m so grateful the Lord brought my husband to me who is from here, his family, and our little one. I hope you enjoy and think about the many benefits (even during our 6 months of winter at times).
Pretty sure those weeds are amaranth
I just harvested our first beans today!!
Love your flower garden. I think its not weed (11.58). Its a FOXTAIL AMARANTH. Reference: ruclips.net/video/Ta9gCKxx1H8/видео.html
I'm surprised by how much forest or treed areas are around you. When i think of ND, i think of more open grasslands.
@@oldfarmerdan there is a line of “hills” through the eastern side of the state to Canada that has quite a bit of trees. Otherwise most of the state is plains.
@@BackseatFarming well it's beautiful, I imagine there are some interesting animals living in all that. :)
Welcome to North Dakota! Your garden in looking great! We live in SW ND and are experiencing a drought right now. Watering almost every day.
@@lindaottmar6124 thank you! I’m sorry you’re dealing with drought, we visited family down by Bismarck last week and it’s definitely very dry out there.
Garden looks good...if the killing frost delays until the end of Sept. you should do really well. We just harvested the garlic and started on the pickles here. Challenges for us this season are deer, gophers, and sprayer drift. I think the weed you're pulling was a red rooted pigweed.
@@greatnorthernn-3154 we are hoping to grow garlic too! I’m sorry to hear about the animals and drift, we have a big gopher issue here as well. Thank you for identifying the weed! I’ll have to figure out how to get rid of it more easily.
That very bottom rod on the tiller is a drag to help you hold it back. Lower it down and it digs into the dirt
Great Job Kids!!! ❤️
Welcome to North Dakota!! Just stumbled onto your channel and live in ND also. Was wondering what part of the state your family moved to. We are in the north central part and love it here. Born and raised. Take care
@@brentknoepfle7932 thank you! We are in the NE corner not too far from Canada, we are really loving it here so far. Beautiful country and loving the quiet and privacy.
The children will love the swing for years to come. I know because we do and did!
Dahlia's will not overwinter in your garden zone. I struggled with them in Cheyenne.
@@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead I’m digging them up in the fall to split the tubers and store them through the winter. That way I have many more to plant next spring 😊
We almost moved to North Dakota. Instead, we ended up in northern Missouri. We moved from Cheyenne WY.
Use steeltoe shoes both of you unless you want to lose your feet and legs. Your really city people
Welcome to North Dakota! I live in eastern ND. We have some of the richest black soil you will find anywhere. Hope you have warm coats! Beautiful farm. 😊
@@janicehanson8688 thank you! Planting the garden has been a joy, the soil is so lovely!
A lot of your subscribers who are looking out for you have somesound advice, better clothes for protection in case of accidents. Better to be safe than sorry
Hello from across the border in Minnesota
Great Job guys!😇!😇!
Hi, if it was me, on that pole barn, id be thinking how to close it for those cold snowy North Dakota winters.
We’re considering it especially knowing the blizzards ND can get.
Please get some SHOES on...no flip flops PLEASE. The tiller will eat toes!
This is not hate, everyone starts somewhere but two pieces of advise. DO NOT EVER for any reason reach under the deck of a running lawn mower, if that PTO malfunctioned, slipped or was bumped your going at the minimum loose whatever limb is under the deck. Also never run a tiller in flip flops, especially a rear tine where your feet are so close to the tines. don't let one bad decision be the reason you life/limbs are altered forever
As an amputee who had the luxury of consultation and plenty of warning about my limb having to come off I’d have to agree with you, don’t let one dopey moment end up ruining your lives, no disrespect but check the manufacturers terms of liability, ithink you’ll find if your not wearing safety gloves or boots and glasses then if the machine malfunctions and starts chopping you up like meat pate I believe I’m right in saying you’ll be crap out of luck matey.
The landscape there looks like Red River valley country. It's quite a bit more open further west. Located about an hour NW of Jamestown. Your garden is short on nitrogen and would probably benefit with a side dressed fertilizer application.
Thank you for the advice, I was hoping it was mostly transplant shock but I’ll fertilize and see how it looks in a week or so. And yes we are close to that area, it’s beautiful country out here!
I like the videos but u should really wear proper protective dress for work with machinery-
Get proper farm footwear
Who tethers cows? Make that fence a priority over strawberries and what not.
Watch the rest of the video 😎
I'm looking forward to seeing how you all make it your own! Only thing that really jumped out at me, is please protect those toes! haha.
Where in ND please.
Moving to this somewhat remote area took a lot of courage and fortitude. It is a lovely place - thank you for sharing.
Saludos desde Indianapolis Indiana US para donde SE mudaron
Hi 👋 there. I'm Rogerio from Ancaster in canada 🇨🇦. I just started watching your video. I was born in Brazil, but been here in Canada for about 36 years. That's is dream, going Baca and becoming a farmer. Nothing big, just to be a self-sufficient. Love the country side, love the animals, and the form of living. I hope everything will be good to all your family. You know nothing comes easy in life, but keep fighting, keep strong. If you a God's belief most important is keep your faith. Gid will strengthen you when you down. I will keeping watching you guys. God bless you'll. Rogerio 🇨🇦
Hello 👋🤗
Excited to follow your journey ❤
What part of North Dakota? We spent 9yrs in grand forks county….❤
@@jef8528 we’re in Pembina County, about 1.5 hrs from Grand Forks 😊
very good work, i follow you from north africa (algeria)
Lovely rich soil.
If you shove the lever that comes through the back of the hood over the tines, shove that lever down and it will give you more control while it is digging. there are individual notches in it to set the depth.
Thank you for the advice! First time using a rear tine tiller, let alone one that big and it really takes off with you 😅
Operating heavy equipment in crocs and flipflops , what can gobwrong? Definitely tuning in..
That garden soil looks great. No rocks!!! That really helps out.
You have done a lot from having to break the soil and start the garden way to go !!!
Crocks! Really? Bog guy on rider little gal trying to hold down a tiller. Good luck to yah there. You will be moving again.
Great job, can you grow potatoes there
Yes we can but I think it’s too late in the season, next year we will get them in early!
Huddle in the garage if the power goes out to keep warm. I don't see anything right with that as you have a family to think about as well as the adults. Why would you not install the wood fired stove in the house.??
I see you have alot of leaves on the ground. Couldn't you mulch the leaves up and cover your garlic beds with them during the winter. Just a thought.
You don't have to burn old wood ya know. You could use it in your garden beads as it will rot down and help the soil you are creating for the long haul. A thought as you continue your journey.
This can be a great channel. Just work on smooth transition from one thing to another. 🥰
Very nice family.❤️❤️❤️ love from Bangladesh
