    Wow. I really cannot comprehend how much you get done. I know the entire family is whole heartedly contributing, but a brand new baby, home made meals, all the preserving, a house to maintain, the never ending garden chores, 4 other kids needing time and attention, a hubby, home schooling. It’s so much. Then, to top it all off you always look gorgeous…even in 100 degree heat. It’s truly amazing! You’re amazing. Great video!

    That was an incredible video of how much effort it takes to work these gardens. It is often not seen and this truly paints the picture of what hard work and determination goes into growing food with all the good, bad & ugly. And only those who do it themselves know this is how it truly goes …..I appreciate you!
    I am so frustrated with bugs and staying organic makes it a job in itself. The pest pressure is intense here in The Bahamas where I live and we too are over 100 degrees everyday. Two hours every morning dedicated to watering and checking all the crop for pests and removing them. Seeing your children and husband so involved is heart warming. They see the importance. My husband is trying to be more involved this year with growing even though we both work in our construction company every day. It’s a mindset that you have to do it no matter how busy work is. Home comes first every morning and every evening. Love your channel ……

You have a beautiful family including a precious newborn, a beautiful home and an absolutely incredible garden and YOU are at the heart of it all! I pray for continued blessings over you, your husband and your entire family. Oh, and of course the garden!

    Becky, I have been gardening for nearly 50 years and I learned from each of the videos that y’all put up. I have been gardening from an electric wheelchair Since an accident in 1976. My love for growing our food is as strong as ever. We eat a lot of it and give the rest away like most gardeners. My garden is raised beds and concrete walkways.

    Tromboncino squash gets zero squash bugs and disease! It tastes exactly like zucchini and it’s 2-3’ long. You don’t have to worry about them getting too big. Pick them whenever you want, cook with or I grate loads and freeze for adding to meatloafs, sauces, zucchini bread

    Great video! Amazing how much you get done as a family. I love hearing Noel sing....I still smile thinking of her singing her "June Bug" song to her chicken before you even built the house. 🐓🐔 From a previous video I learned about RX Soil from you. I sent my soil in for testing and found it to be invaluable to me in my gardening. I'm in Arizona, we have "sand" and that was about it. The process was quick and the information I received back from them was amazing. Instead of throwing everything I could think of in my garden to help the soil I now know EXACTLY what I had to do. I will be using them at least twice a year from now on!

    Thank you for the daily perspective!
    I watched with my fourth child, who is almost two weeks old, in my arms and felt like I could never do what you are doing. Luckily, I understand that you didn't make all that awesomeness happen overnight. I'll just focus on getting one or two rows prepped and cover cropped this fall so I can have the best start possible in the spring. Then, add another row after I feel more confident. So on and so forth!
    Keep up the good work. Please keep showing us the reality and the beauty of your homestead. It is inspiring. 😊

Just the health benefits alone: the exercise & outdoor air, the benefit of working with family, and then eating the delicious NON SPRAYED, NON GMO, beautiful food. We should all be working towards goals like this. Thank you for being that beacon of light & showing the way to so many of us.
    I bet those moments spent in the barn(?)/tent before your house was completed, seems like a lifetime ago in comparison to what you have created since, in such a short time. ❤fantastic

    It’s good to teach children how to do
    this kind of stuff. Groceries are too high in the stores. This is how I grew up on a farm. My dad had 40 acres but we didn’t use all of it for crops, but most of it. It was a lot to do. I don have a garden today. Y’all work so hard and it pays off. My dad had mules, then he got a tractor. It was slave work for us back then.

Understandably, your baby changes your flow but it’s nice to see all of the things you’re doing even through the heat. My garden was doing great this year but was taken over by bugs and then the heat destroyed it. Even still, I’m already planning for next year!

    As much as others may see this as a lot of work, but there are those of use that would love to have it.
