I am still going to school because I’m trying not to get loans. I pay my own tuition it’s taking time but I hope I have no debt when I finish
I konw exactly what your talking about. Unfortunately i was a online student with Everest University and before i was able to graduate (medical billing and coding) they stopped offering the course and told me i had to change my degree of choice. Later found out they were scamming people getting extra loans etc....long story short, Everest filed bankruptcy and i am 36, 000 in debt with student loans (1 1/2 years - 86 credits only needed 10 more credits) and now i cant go to another school until i get the debt straightened out.....My advice to anyone if you cant pay for it on your own DONT DO IT....NO STUDENT LOANS!
So sorry to hear about your situation! It really sounds criminal. There should be some sort of insurance schools have to take out to pay students if the school goes bankrupt the student isn’t stuck like that! What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Best of luck to you.
@@kimberlykelly7280 I agree, 3 years later and i am still playing phone tag 😬....it has definitely made me stronger...
You must be from Tampa. Read about it . Crooks for sure.
@@louhorvath344 hi, no im from Tallahassee, but yes the campus was in Tampa, i attended online. Yes definitely crooks to say the least.
I’ve always told my children do not take a student loan! My youngest got a trade school two year scholarship and he’s covered and no bills!! He’s taking industrial welding! I’m very proud he’s so level headed about money and his future!! I grew carrots and they were fantastic!! My new favorite crop to grow, and the chickens loved the tops!!!
Growing up my mom always new to give me the underdeveloped corn ears, I love the way they pop. I still look for that at the store.
Oh your beautiful dog doesn't want to be out with the ticks! My Beagle stayed in with me.About 2 o'clock in the morning he saw or smelled something at our front door,he stood up real slow,hair raising up on his back growling,never saw him do that,I was scared.Never did see anything.Heybwatch out for foxes,you need some motion light detectors and a electric fence.
Hey we grow corn here in the desert with monsoon winds. The last time I did it I made a box around it with sticks and then just wrap it with string. (One strain every few feet up) that makes it not fall over when you only have a patch and not a field
I grew garlic for the first time this year, because I watched your video where you planted your garlic. I used store bought garlic, maybe about 25 heads that I broke apart. Any way it was a success. next time I'll be planting three times as much. thank your for your video's. I have learned a lot from the Stiver's! God bless you all!
Sharon Davis _. I had a fair crop for the first time. All garlic was small. But plan on planting in tubs this fall. Grass is taken over where i try and plant. Sure hope it works.
My first year for raising garden corn too. I learned a lot and can't wait to try to grow even more next year. Glad you all have your garden to help you deal with all the stress you all are going thru right now. Gardening helps out so much when I'm stressed out.
We grew purple basil. I LOVE IT. It was easy and at the end of the season when I let it go to seed it had beautiful flowers. And sunchokes, they are so hardy.
Goodness, Xena just looks and acts like her momma sooooo much! 😊💓 Y'all can just borrow Jed's house and come squat on our farm with all your critters, before you find yourself homeless and rehoming your animals. You've got a lot of friends to see you through any bad times. But, we're all holding fast to Him providing your dream homestead for you! ❤❤❤
Just six months ago my family and I were on the same Journey you were. We looked everywhere and all the places we wanted to go including Kentucky and the Lord and All His comedic Glory sent us to Missouri. Never been this far east and you want to know what people don't tell noobs such as myself about homesteading? FLIES!!!!!!!!!! Have faith, He WILL provide on His time and HIS place. Wherever you go, if this property is not the place, where He sends you will be just as wonderful and probably better than anything you could ever imagine. I'm looking forward to this new adventure you're taking us on with you. You have no idea how much the two of you have helped me and COUNTLESS other people with starting our NEW lives. Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge and sharing your lives so openly with us. We're praying for your here and know it will work in your favor. You know you're on the right track when, he who shall remain nameless, starts throwing curve balls your way. Y'all will knock that right out of the park. Good luck and THANK YOU!!
Not sure if your aware of this but for your corn..if you put a bit of Mineral Oil on your "silk" it WILL prevent bugs from eating your corn from the inside out. The first time I planted corn along the back side of the garage..it grew soooo big that I literally had to go on the roof of the garage and harvest my corn!!!
smiles and hugs for you guys.. REMEMBER GOD'S GOT THIS!!!!
I grew bell peppers for the first time from grocery store pepper seeds! Yay! Congrats on the corn! 🌽
Corn tassels are male, the silks are female. Every silk is a potential grain of corn. The wind and bees shake the pollen from the tassels down to the silks and pollinate them therefore producing each grain of corn. Amazing. Your corn is beautiful and will be oh so good. Praying for a closing on your house.
God is great and what a sense of humour! He made a giraffe, duckbilledplatapus, and us! 🤗 Stay strong in God's word.

Buying a house is one of the biggest events in your life. It will have bumps in the road with so many cogs moving at different speeds. When we bought our house 2 years ago, we looked at it as a test of our resolve to this. We persevered, practiced our patience and in the end, it all worked out as it should. No regrets! Keep the faith. It will all work out.
I grew burgundy okra and Armenian cucumbers that I absolutely loved! Also kajari melons and straight neck squash! We will always grow these.
Lol! I'm so glad you are trying to take advantage of the "Care's Act", y'all deserve it just like others.
I'm praying for TOTAL DEBT FORGIVENESS and even if you have paid it in full, it will come back to y'all in full, 100%!! I pray, I pray! I love y'all and God bless.
Okra. First time growing it and I'm loving it!💕
Most home garden corn has at least 2 pickings to it sometimes 3. It's not like commercial sweet corn where you come in and pull it all at one time.
I grew corn and no one wanted to eat it. It was beautiful and tasted great so I shared it with friends and chickens both. Not growing corn next year. Jen has inspired me to grow more medical flowers and herbs. Take care you all. You will get through it.
I grew peppers for the first time, Lot of sweet pepper and learned they really don't enjoy holding hands. Next year each plant will get abundance of space it needs. :) we test drove growing corn also,, It is so yummy!
Thats why I put my gandsons on my credit card, one more year to go and his is paid off. 3 years of interest but not 30 years of debt. Plus it was my debt that didn't have to be included in his debt when he bought his first home at 21 because it was cheaper to buy a house than to rent an apt.
patricia hartis your lucky he didn’t stiff you to pay it back
@@karencatalano4349 I didn't ask him to pay it back, small investment for his future.
congratulations on your first corn harves, it looks like it went very well. I live in Central Florida. Found out I can grow sweet potatoes during the summer. Try to follow some RUclipsrs on the way they grow sweet potatoes but did not work for me period. so I took two sweet potato whole and planted it deep into my raised garden bed and lo and behold I'm getting leaves and are very healthy. I've been gardening vegetables for just a few months. Can't wait for fall. You two are both in my prayers until and after you get your new home God willing. I'm very proud of both of you like you are family to me.
your corn is wonderful! We're just outside the city, on a 1/4 acre lot that includes our house and driveway. Our garden is about 20x20'...and then we have 4 4x8 small raised beds. We have grown corn 2 times...and we grow them close - like the farmers on zillion of acres. We didn't fertilize this year as we should have, but it's so fun growing your own corn! Well done!
When you need to catch farm birds during the day, it's easy if you use a big fish net. Mine has a telescoping pole which helps with the wilder ones. Also, sometimes I just let everyone out, feed them a treat, and then herd them all back into the run together, as a flock. And, oh yeah, the background music is a little distracting.
For smaller corn patches, take a dropper of mineral oil where the silk comes out. Helps keep the worms out.
Congratulations on your corn harvest! My new thing this year is sweet potatoes. They SHOULD be ready to harvest in the middle of next month. Fingers crossed they produce a decent harvest. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers that things get straight with your student loans QUICKLY! ~ Stephanie
God's got you!!! I grew moringa squash and strawberry banana squash and dragon tongue beans and sugar baby watermelons 🍉 my garden is a direct action from watching you and a few other channels. God's blessings to you and your family
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this dark cord in your life's tapestry. It will change!
Hi Stivers, I work for a state agency, although in higher ed, and have been working completely from home since mid-March. It is a stuggle. I will tell you that the squeaky wheel does get the grease. Be polite but be presistant. If you're a jerk and threatening you may be the last priority. Let them know your predicament and what you have to lose. People are more apt to help you if you humanize the problem.
I told my daughter to always do what you love and brings you joy!
Follow your natural talents. She left her job with New York Life. She now has her own business of grooming dogs and cats. She lives it and she is very good at it.
I grew Dill this yr and harvested some. I have a new list of herbs to pick from .
Small area space
This year I grew turnips which I’ve never done before and they came out pretty well! I’m also planting garlic for the first time this fall.
I know about school loans and I would never ever tell anyone to go for one. Good luck getting this taken care of
That corn looks good 👍. For every silk there is a kernel of corn.
The only thing in my garden I've grown before are tomatoes, and a long time ago cucumbers. Everything else is new...kajari, cucamelons, acorn squash, corn, beans, potatoes, zinnias, and calendula. Tried some melons in a side garden before the fence was totally ready, but the deer got those (3 times) and it ended up being too late to try again. There's always next year, lol!
I have to fence anything that I want to grow . The deer eat everything! I feel your frustration. Good luck with the next planting whenever that is. We never give up do we?
Really thinking of you each day, praying all will go smoother and quickly with the clerical work. Being raised an Iowan farm girl, that corn looks excellent!! Great job!🌽💗🌽 Also, your pigs would really love the shucks, cobs, any leftovers!🐖🌽🐷🌽🐖 Enjoy that yummy, fresh corn... it made me hungry and nostalgic... years and years of growing, picking, husking, canning and freezing delicious corn!😋🌽💗 Blessings and love to you all... and many prayers!🙏💞🥰🙏💗
Corn looks great. Garden looks great.
Chin up, positive thinking. Love ya all. ❤
God Bless
Wishing you luck with your bump in the road. It will all work out ! You have the right attitude!
Jenn and Zach, I grew corn, cylinder beets, yellow peppers, red peppers and basil in my garden beds this year. I am praying for you the two of you to get your forever home. Keep your chins up high and keep the faith. I am sure this was a big let down and disappointment for the two of you but everything will work out!
Soon all this stress will be over and in the rear view mirror guys. This year for the first time, I grew ground cherries. I got a crap ton on a continual basis. Ive made jam, salsa and a pie!!! And tons of fresh eating. I was able to save a lot of seeds too for next year :). Love you and bless you.
I have homesteaded for more than 30 years. I rarely grow corn as It is a very heavy feeder and to get enough to can or freeze for a year requires a lot of ground. Also in my experience BANTAM corn is what it implies.... Bantam chickens are very small...And Bantam corn makes small ears therefore small harvest.
I think the corn was a success...my test crop this year was garlic and learned a few things that definitely will help with this falls planting.
I tried corn for the first time this year too and had success. Sending prayers for your home timing all thing go smoothly.
Just sitting here snickering trying not to laugh out loud and wake up the whole house 🤣 guineas are faster than chickens haha
Oh, I cant plant enough corn so I buy it but I did try some strawberry popcorn. It grew great , beautiful blue color, little mini ears, and just a lot of fun for the grand kids. They offer some crazy varieties out there.
Your sweet corn would shuck easier if you break off the end that was attached to the stalk first, then peel down the shucks and silks.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too
I pray that all of this gets resolved very quickly. 😊
FINGERS CROSSED, PRAYERS COMING, WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
We grew ground cherries. I love them, no one else does. I’ve made jelly and crumb cake with them so far.
Congratulations on the corn. We usually grow enough corn too last all winter Normally we get 10 to 12 dozes ears. This year, however, we only got 5 - not 5 dozen cobs - only 5 cobs. The racoons beat us to them. Ah well there is always next year. Good luck on your house move - hope everything clears up. From midwestern, Ontario, Canada.
The first thing that came to mind is you are bound to have a follower that works in that arena that can just be like hey! I can help ya'll out, no problem! Sending lots of prayers this gets resolved soon and ya'll can relax.
Praying things are resolved very quickly! Enjoyed watching as usual!
In our prayers guys! What will be, will be. Stay strong and the path will be lit.
So cool that you were able to grow corn. Ours doesn't look like it is going to turn out as some are only knee high. lol. So sorry you are having to go through such stress with the home buying process. We have bought three houses and its stressful every time. Hang in there, I am sure it will all turn out alright. :) _Dede
Just know they can still request stuff right up until closing day. Best of luck, hope things go smoothly
Haha dog says no thank you. He’s so cute
I had a similar situation with a job I really wanted. I prayed that I would get the job, not for what God knew the right path was. No matter what we dream for ourselves, God can top that to infinity. Your faith and love will get you through to the miraculous moment when all is clear.
Sorry your having this set back. The corn looks great. Small plot but looks good. I grew Spaghetti Squash and it took over my whole small backyard garden lol. I've gotten some already and it great. I've had regular Squash never Spaghetti Squash. Who knows what I'll plant next year lol. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
Lets hope they get their act together for your lovely family. Fingers crossed and many warm thoughts for your family. 💝🇨🇦
Corn!! Just a little tidbit of info...did you know that corn silk is used in herbal medicine? It can be tinctured or you can drink the water after decocting it. Can be used for kidney issues and for helping to lower blood sugar 😊. Research it a little! Good stuff!! Sending good vibes to y’all so you can close on your house and get stuff moving along! ❤️
I've had guineas. I am impressed with your guinea catching skills!!! I grew malabar spinach this year for the first time. Love it, tastes good, looks beautiful while growing, and it grows and grows. You recommended the Kentucky Beefsteak Tomato, I believe, in a previous video, so I ordered seeds for next year. Prayers to you both, anything worth having is worth fighting for, hang tight!
Praying for you! Something I tried new this year in the garden is ground cherries. A friend of mine and I each started some different plants of different veggies and we traded plants in May. The ground cherries are wonderful and although I have given a few to friends (and I mean darn few)! they have all enjoyed them and I’ll be starting lots of plants next year to share with friends.
No matter what happens ...you still have time to smile .Love that about you .Take Care .Great things are coming ❤❤
This year I did butter nut squash and acorn squash. Made the mistake of planting them in the same bed... they cross pollinated and all my squash now looks like acorn. LOL “Ugly food is still tasty food.” Next year I’m planting roasting peppers.
Zach, have I mentioned what a beaming personality you have! 🧡 Sorry about the news, just keep calling. 🙏
Congrats on your beautiful corn harvest! As you know trials make us stronger. Praying God removes the stumbling blocks! Keep smiling!
Praying for y'all. Yes, my mom always says God has a sense of humor.
Sweeeeet looking first corn harvest !
Congratulations on your Corn harvest. I will continue to pray that everything will come together so that Y'all can get into your new home. Prayerfully without having to get rid of some of your animals. Much Love. God Bless Y'all. Huggggggggs.
Those stink bugs are making a love nest over there in your corn patch haha
LOL I love the guinea ground up. I laughed real tears.
Sending prayers hope everything works out for you I hope you get that Farmhouse that you guys are interested in as soon as possible and I hope you don't have to get rid of any of your animals keep your heads up
Great job on the corner! I can imagine how good it is now. 😊
Prays and high hopes for everything to go smoothly getting into the new home,great positive attitude about getting in there or into a plan B. God has it all planned out🥰
I'm in Kentucky and have tried sweet corn for many many years, but tons of feed corn is grown either right next to me or within a mile so I'm giving up on growing corn unless it's strictly popping corn. It's so hard to grow sweet corn in the Midwestern side of Kentucky, so many people grow feed corn that cross pollination is a big issue, we just don't eat enough of it to fight the issue and I can dedicate that space to another crop that we do eat a lot of.
Everything will work out. Praying for your family!
I planted Brussels sprouts, I'm still waiting on them. Lol Your corn sure looked good. I love in Bradford, Illinois . Where is your homestead at? Prayers being sent.
Love your giggles guys. Even with the tribulations
What has worked well for my corn is using the deep bedding from the chicken coop as mulch. I put it down when the corn is about a foot tall. The corn loves the nitrogen and I love not having to weed the corn!
Prayers for you and your family on your new journey, sorry to hear about slowing processing of your new home. I just love it when I see a couple working together on home projects and homestead shores to what ever needs to get done. People these days as a couple don’t do as much together, which can make ya appreciate each other more . And get the job done with low to no costs of labor hiring out, If it can be done by yourselves as a team to succeed.👍👍👍👍👍👍🥰🥰♥️❤️♥️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey I wanted to mention this the last time I saw ur sweet corn....I have made this same mistake time and time again....but ur sweet corn was planted way to close together....they need to b spaced about 12 inches.....any closer they just don't produce....try that next year....I have high winds knocking mine over too and somehow they recover....I need to hill mine more I think to help keep them upright 👍😉
Congrats for the corn. Praying!!! God is with you. Love ya!!
Praying things are resolved very quickly!
“Ugly food is still tasty food” 😂 What kind of corn did you grow? I am praying for the Lord to make a way where there seems to be no way. Thank y’all for your realness and smiles despite your circumstances. That’s genuine contentment and so inspiring. ❤️❤️
Praying for y'all. Love and Hugs from Sapulpa Oklahoma
You’re in my prayers! Hopefully everything will get moving and you will close on your new home. ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️love ya!
I’m sorry you’re dealing with all that! At least there’s a path forward! Beautiful 3 corn haha
🙏🙏🙏It will all work out the way it’s meant to be! Love to y’all ❤️❤️❤️
My granddaughter will soon be in college, so I bought the book Debt Free Degree, for both of us to read. There is a chapter that discusses easy college credit. CC companies set up booths on campus to get kids to sign up for CCs to buy anything they want. (Dorm furniture, food, tshirts, anything!) A lot of time, the kids don't understand interest, and get in way too deep. This is over and above the true college loans! Please read up on this and save your child a lot of headaches. Also, I agree that there is not enough infasis on trade school. A lot of people think it's college or minimum wage jobs, with no in between. God bless...
And corncobs for the outhouse....DID I SAY THAT?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
I love the easy going chill you two work so well😎💖
Thinking of you both and praying God sorts this mess so you can move stress free
I love watching your videos! I’m so excited for you new house. The love you two share is so precious. My spouse walked out on me after 31 years. He Had others dreams I guess.i still believe that my dreams will grow and come true. Thank you for allowing my dreams come tree thru you.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 things to go smoother!
I planted dipper guards. They were the only things that grew good this year. Last count there was 31 guards and still growing strong with new ones every day. Not really dipper size more like bowls.
2 plants is all I planted lol
I tried 2 kinds of popcorn. One got 8 ft tall. The other 3 ft. And I tried okra this year. Got a couple. Next year going to grow it in our greenhouse. It needed hotter weather than we get on the southern oregon coast. Also grew KAJARI melons. Our plant has 13 on it. And we just ate 2 ripe ones. Those are the yummiest suckers I have ever ate. A cross between cantaloupe and honeydew. We are definitely growing a bunch of them next year! Saw jess growing them last summer. So had to try them. Yummo!
Lol..."Everyone just CALM DOWN" 🤣🤣 xena...putting all her weight down...HAHA! She was teasing you..so funny.
I attempted an Ancho chili plant it produced I pepper it only got as long as my index finger SO epic fail BUT I shall try again lol. Good luck you all.
