Love you all ideas for future planning. I agree that the garden needs to be in full sun especially in the morning and daytime with perhaps some shade towards the late evening. Put the seating area a little more in the shaded area vs putting all the garden in that area. I look forward to your planning. Everything looks so good. Have a blessed day.
Ok last comment 😂 I learned that our gardens should be set up into zones. Zone 1,2,3 etc. The things we harvest the most should be closest to the house and so on. Love y’all ❤ Merry Christmas! 🎁
"A people without a vision parish." What a beautiful vision yall have for your property! And the fact that you will do it yourselves makes it precious. What you have already done proves it will be a success. 😊 Congratulations Merry Christmas Brown family! Merry Christmas everyone!
Plans sound good. One step at a time and you will get where you want to be, whether it takes a year or 10 years. 🥰Hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year. Love to all the family. xoxo
Happy Holidays Brown Family🎉 You’ve done so much to the farm this year and it looks fantastic❣️ So exciting for you all on your plans for the New Year. Baby Pharaoh is getting so big.🥰 The bottle brush tree is beautiful and loves the sun warm temps. Btw, hope you got my magnet pic of Egypt😊
Good Wednesday morning, Brown family. Hi baby Pharaoh. Your new ideas for your farm are great. Some viewers have given you awesome advice from their experience. ❤️ ✝️ ⭐️🎄 😇 🕊
Walker Farm Fam sent me to your channel. I reside in rural Western Massachusetts, Western Franklin County farm & agricultural land at the base of the Berkshires. I'm 73 now, but having worked on 2 of the 4 dairy farms on my street as a kid & into my teens, I have a fondness for homestead hobby farmers. Your content will help keep my fond memories of my childhood alive in my mind. Have a blessed holiday & safe new year.
Ya'll are VERY creative especially for a farm...just a reminder, you have iron in the water..if you put white rocks around well, the rocks will stain like the concrete an ground. Just reminder..thanks for sharing your BEAUTIFUL farm ❤
I hear a little Just Dig It Farms and Cog Hill as some of your influence, and I love it!!! I have no doubt that you two will continue to make your property even more gorgeous!! I love how you don't just settle! Pharoah, my man!! You're adorbs!!
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. Neco, it's very sweet & thoughtful of you to send Ranger the gift he was speechless. Your farm is so beautiful ‼️. God bless your family♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏😉🐾🎅🎄🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
You have one of the neatest and well kept homesteads I’ve seen! Your future plans will only take it to the next level. ❤ You are amazing and so are your girls ❣️I love your content ❤️
Hi, just came over from Walker Farm Fam, your gift to Ranger was so generous, I know he will treasure it and keep it safe. I'm sorry to say I had never come across your channel before, I have now rectified that, you have a new subscriber from England UK 😊👍.
So glad Pharaoh is better! Nice to see him smile again. Also, Neco and Natalie, the two of you are so respectful of, supportive of, and loving toward each other. It is such a beautiful thing to watch and a perfect example you're setting for your children. P.S. Quite a few vegetables require 6 to 8 hours of full sun. It can be tricky to find the right balance. As you both said, you should definitely track the sun patterns throughout the day to see if and when the trees will block the sun. These patterns may change a bit with the seasons but not much. The intensity of the sun will change, too, of course. Neco's camera idea is a brilliant start. There are times that I wish my garden did not have as many big trees hovering over my garden and blocking the sun. On the other hand, there are other times - such as in July and August - that I have to use shade cloth to protect the veggies here in NC. Think ahead about which veggies (and flowers) you want to grow and check what their sun and soil requirements are generally. (You're probably already doing that.) Then strike a balance in deciding where to build your garden beds. I wish I had before I put in raised beds. No doubt, your garden will be beautiful no matter what!
Sounds like 2024 is going to be an exciting time at the Brown Farm. Excited to follow along. One suggestion, put your vegetable gardens in the areas that has the most sun light. Plant shade loving plants under the tree areas. I learned this from experience.
Hi Natalie and Neco👋Glad baby Pharaoh is feeling better. He will be eating steak before you know it with those new teeth coming in😂Love all the plans you have. Can't wait to see what you decide 😊Do clematis plants grow there? There are so many pretty colors you'd love them. Mom strung them up and made a privacy wall out of them. They like sun but cool roots😊 Wow so many options. Can't wait. You have such great taste in decorating. Thanks for sharing your wonderful plans ❤
To the Brown Family! ✝️Merry Christmas ya’ll🎄 ! May the Lord bless and keep you all safe and well through the coming year🙏! Thank you for sharing your daily life and all the plans you have for making the farmstead even more beautiful!
The white rock would really make the buildings "pop" since they're painted black. We have white rock in our raised bed area and it's working great for weed suppression. We put down layers of cardboard first, then added landscape cloth, then the rock. Check out the Yard Art in Barberville, Fl... the gates!!! Oh my goodness! I have a video on my channel of all their goodies. The stock changes frequently and they always have really interesting things. Pharoah is killing me with his cuteness! That hat ❤ and his little teefies ❤ Oh!My! Gracious! Your Bougainvillea (bo-gan-v-ya)is looking fantastic! Thank you for sharing your Homestead and plans with us. I'm so looking forward to watching as you accomplish your goals and see your dreams come to fruition ❤ Hugs to you all!
Love your videos and the connection to family and friends. Your farm is unique with all the addresses you’ve assigned to each animal. I really enjoyed that. Prayers for your family to be healthy, especially Baby Pharaoh. “Merry Christmas” God Bless your whole family”.
Oh my goodness! Love little baby Pharaoh! He is way too sweet!🤗❤️ I just can't wait for y'all to start 2024! All the plans and how they are going to look! If they take longer, who cares. It's your place, and you want it done right. I know it's gonna look amazing! I do really love the weeping bottlebrush trees! When I was in AZ, we had a bottlebrush bush, and it was amazing! The bougainvillea ( boo • guhn • vi • lee • uh ) is really beautiful. My brother, when he and his family lived in Az, had a BIG bougainvillea bush and it had some MEAN thorns on it! They were like and inch long and sharp as all get out! I remembered what he looked like after he got done trimming it up! Looked like he was fighting a cat to take a bath!!!😳😱 He had scratches all up and down his arms and legs, and there was blood all over him from all the thorns!😳😱 So becareful when trimming them. Oh and when it gets established, they are hard to kill. My brother tried everything to kill his cause it was MASSIVE and was taking over his little back yard. Your place is so beautiful and y'all take such good care of all of it. Thank you for sharing your plans for 2024. God bless. Incase life takes hold and y'all don't have time or I don't, 🎄Hope you and your whole family have a Merry Christmas!🎄😊❤️
Am a lurker i don't talk much but I have watch you since the start I love you guys ❤ I wish I can garden and farm lie you I would healthier now. Hard work keeps yo young blessing your family
Pharaoh is so handsome! I’m glad he’s feeling better! I’m also glad y’all are feeling better! Neco, that flower on the chicken coop is a boo-gan-via! It’s going to cover the whole spring! Beautiful color! Your eyes are as big as your hearts! I hope you can get it all done, I bet if you uncover the pool, the girls will want to use it more. As they get older they will want to have their friends over and the pool will be a nice addition to their sleep overs! I have three daughters so I’m a professional!😂 I’m not even going to go there about boys, my grandson is quite the handful!😅 I love y’all! Just know that peas (purple hull) need full sun and so do tomatoes and okra! Being from the south I know Nana probably eats all of those especially the tomatoes and okra! Hoss tools is where to order seeds and starter bundles. Ask Jason! Lots of prayers for y’all! Love and blessings from this old Bama girl!❤❤❤
Mr and Mrs Brown what you have done to your property since the first time I saw you last year is remarkable, and what your plans are for the future are remarkable visible gardens need more sun than what you have right now with those trees are believe me I have a raised bed only have two because I live in the city but you need more sun have there right now I don’t know how the sun rotates where you’re at I love what you doing. I love what you have done and I love that precious baby❤❤
Hey! You know I have to jump in a write a small book for ya'll. I love just brainstorming ideas for gardens and such like. I've done a lot of gardening over the years and always have tons of ideas. I was talking to one of my cousins who lives down south about their well project. They decided on was a privacy fence around the concrete platform their stuff is on with a big gate on the side they needed to get into for their water filter. Then they threw on a tarp roof to protect their equipment from the elements. It didn't cost much and looks pretty cool. Really cute part they put a sign on the gate labelling it the "Whale House" with a little humpback whale across the bottom. As for the pool I would make that into a little fishpond. It's big enough that you could grow out some good-sized fish in there. Stock it up with some freshwater mollusks crayfish, snails... you can build a whole little ecosystem. It might wind up being cost prohibitive, but it seems like a waste to just throw it out. It could also, much more cheaply, be converted to a massive, raised bed garden. Talk about mole prevention.... It would be easy and cheap to build a Huegel culture mound in it. Just start dumping in wood leaves grass clippings animal waste, surplus moss from the trees...It would take some time to fill up but talk about a cheap massive garden, that would be it. You could even run some little berry bushes around the outside to kind of break up the outline of the old pool. On the chicken area, I got a good chuckle... it's a boo-gan-veal-ya. I would go with some foxtail ferns. They are unstoppable in southern climates. If you want some good color around there, tall French marigolds are perennial in your area. Even better they are a nutritious snack for chickens. Your second idea of putting the vegetable garden back behind the coop and having a cut flower garden in front is the most practical solution. Most vegetables like full sun. However,...if you want to grow lettuces or brassicas that shady are might be your best hope. They will not tolerate the heat and sun y'all get down south. Just some thoughts I felt the urge to put out there. I do a lot of gardening, but Florida is a long way from where I am so don't take me too seriously.
I don't know if you have water fowl, but if you do, maybe you could transform that pool into a pond. You are so creative, I'm sure you could make it really awsome.
Keep in mind all the rain that y'all get,some veggies make suffer, and give them lots of sun. Also fencing and overhead netting for birds or squirrels.. you're about to serve wild life's biggest dream..free food..lol. How about planting first watch it and then top dress the garden beds?
I'm a new subscriber... I wish your channel had good music... The music gets into your spirit and just warms you up while you're watching video!!! What's the main thing I liked about IAG farms... It would make your channel Rock after talking 🙏🏽 let the beautiful music and video run...
Maybe something red and white tall flowers would go with valentines , Presidents day ,4 of July Christmas .etc....you could add browns and oranges for fall and Thanksgiving maybe
I think the black mulch would look awesome around the barn. It would just set it off. I do understand about the chickens, though they can make a big mess.
Guys your property is so beautiful . Have thought of creating a wedding venue ? You mention planting flowers which would be perfect for your business. You have the ability to build your own portable floors and store in your barn. I want you guys to dream big. I love watching homestead shows. Alaska Last Frontier had an episode where one of the main character had a flower business on their property. When COVID occurred she was unable to ship out flowers for weddings. The audience would ‘nt known she owned a flower business if COVID hadn’t occurred. You and Natalie have the ability to create a million dollar business or more with the help of your wonderful family. You have the food truck or caterer in your family. You can create wedding packages since you enjoy decorating and creating. I’ve been thinking after you asked the fam what you and Natalie can do to allow you a chance to work on the farm full time. I would suggest to purchase a saw mill to use the wood on my I property to build tiny hms. I would use the tiny homes as part of your wedding party package. Wedding parties would have the ability to have everything done at one location. Good luck to you! Continue to dream out of this world and build your legacy!!! Mrs. Vonda - KY fam
Oh wow! So many wonderful ideas & things to consider in your message. Thank you so much for speaking this to us today as I think we needed this message - it is clear from your comment that you are in tune with our journey & we truly truly appreciate that ❤️❤️
I love your farm. I can see your vision. When I listen to your ideas I think of Chip and Joanna Gaines. They have similar visions and went through with a few. I had mole issues here. For years I was adding the products you need to get rid of then. I finally found and solution Between me and my neighbor who was on board with cont. the idea steered ours away. I 1st use then only battery operated stakes to push into the ground. Now they are solar you can get from Wakmart. But Im sure Amazon gas them now too in queantity. You can hide them around you plants busges as long as sun hits them. Apparently its the sound and vibrations it make that scares them. You can hear them as well sound off but not disturbing. Good luck with that. I love your dream, much success to both of you to raise foods etc. for your family!
You have a lot of great ideas. I love what you have done already. Baby Pharaoh is adorable as can be. I wanted to tell Egypt she is really good at basketball.😊🥰❤❤❤
I like the below outdoor kitchen idea. With some unique entertainment (shapes) features facing away from the water filtration situation. Maybe it would draw the eye away from the unattractive water filter set up. Would that work for that location? Do you already have an outdoor kitchen/entertainment area at or near your house? If not, it would take some of the stress off your indoor kitchen. I'm a new supporter so I don't know if cooking outside is something that you guys do.
I love your plans for the property. You might want to rethink where you place your raised beds. That is a pretty shady area that you showed us. I feel you will struggle with lack of sun
I like Natalie's idea combination of the things, l like something like a Gazebo you walk through but keep in mind thaNeco ,I love that idea especially the pictures you inserted Neco!!!t you can't use white rocks around plants will kill your plants, because the rock reflects the sun and.
You should always have veggies with flower my grandma say beauty and food is way make air in soil so you don't have worryweeding because get veggies and clean out the weeds
hydrangeas love the warm morning sun, but they dislike the heat of the afternoon. The best place to plant hydrangeas is in a sheltered location with sunny mornings and shady afternoons. there my be too much shade where they are now but I dont know that for sure
That little baby boy is the absolute cutest thing!! I wish I could hug him. He is growing so fast!!❤❤
Ranger Walker was so excited with his gift 🎁 Thank you Neco !!
I’m new who is ranger ? 😇
Thanks!
So sweet of you giving Ranger the Michael Jordan jersey! He was so excited. And baby Pharoah gets cuter everyday! 💙
An outdoor kitchen with a nice seating area would be awesome. Something I’ve always dreamed of having. A nice place to entertain friends and family.
Love that idea. May Gods bless u with favor .
Congratulations Nancy 🎉
Baby Pharaoh is getting so big ❤
We put white rock around our flower gardens. Still have to put the landscape borders up but it looks so good! I shared this out.
The gift you gave to Ranger is awesome. You are the man. ❤
My wife and I love how you and your family care for your property and the animals.
Awwww… Look at that Baby Boy 💙💙💙
I just Love your Visions you have for your Farm. Until the Next One 😉💞🇺🇸
Have a merry Christmas 🎄

Nico, your gift to Ranger was amazing! 🎉 You and yours are so nice! Baby Pharaoh is soooo cute!
Ok last comment 😂 I learned that our gardens should be set up into zones. Zone 1,2,3 etc. The things we harvest the most should be closest to the house and so on. Love y’all ❤ Merry Christmas! 🎁
Love all the ideas. A greenhouse would be a fun as well.
Just take your time!!! I know Yiu will get it!!! Merry Christmas!!! God Bless Us All!!!
May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals.
Somebody is going to be very busy !! Lol. Cutie pie in his little hat.

Hi Kim. In the southwest we say bow gan via 😊
❤❤❤❤❤
How about some climbing roses, ivy or other climbing plants? Whatever you do or decide, it will be gorgeous.
Mr and Mrs Brown what you have done to your property since the first time I saw you last year is remarkable, and what your plans are for the future are remarkable visible gardens need more sun than what you have right now with those trees are believe me I have a raised bed only have two because I live in the city but you need more sun have there right now I don’t know how the sun rotates where you’re at I love what you doing. I love what you have done and I love that precious baby❤❤
WOW your place is incredible and after all these plans, it'll look even better! Awesome guys!
Pharaoh looking like his mama.
Ty for telling us about I. A. G. Farms they are cool. I enjoy their content too.

Make sure your garden gets plenty of sun. Looks very shaded there
Baby Pharaoh is getting so big its not going to be long before he is running around everywhere
Go to outhouse around your water pump, I think that would be cute.
I don't know if you have water fowl, but if you do, maybe you could transform that pool into a pond. You are so creative, I'm sure you could make it really awsome.
It's a good thing you plan on doing this all year - you are going to have a really pretty property
Keep in mind all the rain that y'all get,some veggies make suffer, and give them lots of sun. Also fencing and overhead netting for birds or squirrels.. you're about to serve wild life's biggest dream..free food..lol.
How about planting first watch it and then top dress the garden beds?
I would just put like a privacy fence around the pump

Maybe something red and white tall flowers would go with valentines , Presidents day ,4 of July Christmas .etc....you could add browns and oranges for fall and Thanksgiving maybe
I think the black mulch would look awesome around the barn. It would just set it off. I do understand about the chickens, though they can make a big mess.
Guys your property is so beautiful . Have thought of creating a wedding venue ? You mention planting flowers which would be perfect for your business. You have the ability to build your own portable floors and store in your barn. I want you guys to dream big. I love watching homestead shows. Alaska Last Frontier had an episode where one of the main character had a flower business on their property. When COVID occurred she was unable to ship out flowers for weddings. The audience would ‘nt known she owned a flower business if COVID hadn’t occurred. You and Natalie have the ability to create a million dollar business or more with the help of your wonderful family. You have the food truck or caterer in your family. You can create wedding packages since you enjoy decorating and creating. I’ve been thinking after you asked the fam what you and Natalie can do to allow you a chance to work on the farm full time. I would suggest to purchase a saw mill to use the wood on my I property to build tiny hms. I would use the tiny homes as part of your wedding party package.
Wedding parties would have the ability to have everything done at one location. Good luck to you! Continue to dream out of this world and build your legacy!!!

Oh wow! So many wonderful ideas & things to consider in your message. Thank you so much for speaking this to us today as I think we needed this message - it is clear from your comment that you are in tune with our journey & we truly truly appreciate that ❤️❤️
I love your farm. I can see your vision. When I listen to your ideas I think of Chip and Joanna Gaines. They have similar visions and went through with a few. I had mole issues here. For years I was adding the products you need to get rid of then. I finally found and solution Between me and my neighbor who was on board with cont. the idea steered ours away. I 1st use then only battery operated stakes to push into the ground. Now they are solar you can get from Wakmart. But Im sure Amazon gas them now too in queantity. You can hide them around you plants busges as long as sun hits them. Apparently its the sound and vibrations it make that scares them. You can hear them as well sound off but not disturbing. Good luck with that. I love your dream, much success to both of you to raise foods etc. for your family!
What about a flowering vine on the part that you didn’t want to see behind the barn.
You have a lot of great ideas. I love what you have done already. Baby Pharaoh is adorable as can be. I wanted to tell Egypt she is really good at basketball.😊🥰❤❤❤
I like the below outdoor kitchen idea. With some unique entertainment (shapes) features facing away from the water filtration situation. Maybe it would draw the eye away from the unattractive water filter set up. Would that work for that location? Do you already have an outdoor kitchen/entertainment area at or near your house? If not, it would take some of the stress off your indoor kitchen. I'm a new supporter so I don't know if cooking outside is something that you guys do.
Over from Walkerfarmfam. Where in Fl. Are you.I live just south of Lake City.
I love your plans for the property. You might want to rethink where you place your raised beds. That is a pretty shady area that you showed us. I feel you will struggle with lack of sun
I have noticed that you all do not have a diveway, garage, or carport as you park on your grass. I would love to see that on your homestead.
I like Natalie's idea combination of the things, l like something like a Gazebo you walk through but keep in mind thaNeco ,I love that idea especially the pictures you inserted Neco!!!t you can't use white rocks around plants will kill your plants, because the rock reflects the sun and.
You should always have veggies with flower my grandma say beauty and food is way make air in soil so you don't have worryweeding because get veggies and clean out the weeds
hydrangeas love the warm morning sun, but they dislike the heat of the afternoon. The best place to plant hydrangeas is in a sheltered location with sunny mornings and shady afternoons. there my be too much shade where they are now but I dont know that for sure
