We don't mind the hodge podge videos. Just so long as you put out a video so we can stay in touch & see your progress. Whether its the animals, gardens, the mobile home or the food you are making. Or knives, soap, it just doesn't matter. We love to see you & your beautiful family. Take care until next time.
I hope your families can see all your hard work. I’m not related but I am proud of you. I’m a mom of 6 grand mom to 9. I still run a huge garden. Dirt is my Prozac. Still working 1/2 time as a psych RN considering retirement (I am 70). Love to watch your family.
I liked your post. I'm sure your grandkids love goodies out of the garden. Yes working in the garden is so calming. I am 69 and have 7 grandkids and 4 great grandchildren. Taught elementary school for 38 years and still volunteer one day a week and full weeks a couple of times a year when needed. The virus put a damper on that this spring. Hope you keep working part time . It tends to keep one young. Watching Hollar Homestead videos is calming too.
Worked eight and a half years in security at a hospital that rivaled USC and UCLA. Observed many 5150 evaluations. God's blessings on every one of you in health care. Walked the halls praying where the Lord showed me the need.
Remember when you were a kid watching an exciting show with cliffhanger endings and a 'to be continued'? When the next episode came on, you were so happy and excited, remember that feeling? I get that feeling every time I see a new vlog from you guys. Thanks for starring in my favorite show!
a family that prays together, stays together. Good to witness y'all eating together at the table. May you continue to influence us to work hard and be thankful.
No one complains when you post a video, we are just happy to see you! I am going to try an experiment this winter and plant some tomato seeds in the beds and let them do their thing! I think they will do great because every volunteer plant always does better earlier. 💞Meg, you have been missed but you just grow that baby!
Trust me.. You guys have nothing to apologize for. You just keep doing your thing... your daily routine is a delight to watch... especially your evening 'walk & chat'. Checking the crop progress and being in nature is what many of us need right now. A daily routine is a blessing... and great for the kids too. Be Safe. 🙂
Plants are looking good. The chickens and pigs are doing their jobs. The weather is being normal. Summer is summer. Life is good. Enjoy the lack of excitement and replace it with contentment and peaceful times in your part of the world. I appreciate your efforts and am grateful to be able to share your time. Blessings to you all.
Your dinner looks AMAZING! Yum! You should all feel proud about growing that yourselves. For those that have never grown a garden, the flavor is so amazing as well. I'm happy to report that our garden is planted and doing well even with yet another threat of frost last week. Really? It's the middle of June already! Thank goodness it missed our area. So good to see you on the vlogs again, Meg. No offense to Ben as he does an amazing job filming, but it is always a treat when the two of you appear together. Lovin' that baby bump, Meg. Blessings to your family.
You were right :-); we were going to ask about the casserole dish. My family will not eat sweet potatoes with me, but you gave me a good idea about slipping in some beets. I love that you share with us your prayer before meals. A God fearing family, hard working and modest family is heart warming to watch especially these days - thank you for sharing.
Thank y'all for everything! You're a great family and I love to watch y'all doing everything on the farm. You're an inspiration to so many. I'm disabled and I'm not able to do much with back, hip, knee and shoulder problems but I love watching you, the Stivers, Roots and Refuge, The Fit Farmer, The Rhodes and Sow the Land!!! I watch all of these because each of them give me inspiration! I love all of you!!! God Bless!!!
You guys are so cute! It is always a treat checking in and finding a vlog from The Hollars Homestead. Good to see the big happiness smiles and a job well done making your dreams come true. 😷 😊
A note about volunteer tomato's. If you put ANY tomato's in your compost, you will get them. It's fine if the original tomato was heirloom or a good quality natural tomato but it is an absolute nightmare if the tomato was purchased as a potted plant from someplace like Home Depot. The reason is that most store bought tomato plants are raised from Monsanto seeds. They are genetical designed to produce one crop of the correct tomato but their seeds produce towering plants with thousands of flavorless cherry or grape tomato's and they spread like weeds. I am speaking from experience. Try to avoid putting tomato's in your compost. ;)
I am sorry but must disagree with you. My store bought cherry tomatoes reseeded themselves last year and they were phenomenal! They tasted delicious and were so prolific. So much so that late at the end of the season I smashed a bunch into the soil hoping they would seed themselves again. They are growing by the multitudes,still small,time will tell if this season is also a success. I also germinated a bunch of hothouse tomatoes this spring,time will tell on those too but the germination rate was great!
@@Exiled.New.Yorker Makes sense. It was a pain in the butt that we were very careful to never let happen again. But we had these awful plants growing anywhere we put the compost. The lawn, the front flower beds, all over our garden. Hundreds of them.
I cant wait to see how your house turns out. you guys deserve all the happiness and joy in your life you guys triumphed through so much I am so happy for you.
Your place us so nice, everything is healthy, growing and looking so awsome. Love how you homestead and care for the earth in a gracious natural way. God Bless you all and stay healthy.
It is just good to see you on the vlogs. The love in your eyes for each other cannot be faked. My prayers are with you to get the mobile home finished before the baby comes, but with animals and gardens, there are only a few hours a day to work. Love your greeting Meg, of "Hello beautiful people!" So happy you got a trip in to see Jess and Jeremiah. They are my other favorite channel.
Oh wow, I love your family very much. A God fearing family, modest and inspirational always good TV to watch. The love you share, the hard work you put into your lives is a dream many can aspire to. Stay blessed always.❤🙏
My husband and I have started a container harmed in southeast Idaho. We are too on the search for our forever homestead. We have learned a lot about tomato plants. They need some help pollinating because they have male and female pollinators. Of you go out and use your hand to disturb the blossoms you will get a higher yield of tomatoes and also pull off the lower limbs of the tomato plants. If the plants are indeterminate pluck off the suckers( these can also be replanted for more plants) the determinant plants you do not want to pull off the suckers. Maybe you already know this, maybe not. Warned my heart to see people praying over their food, not something you see much anymore. Always stay humble and give thanks! Many blessings from ours to yours! ❤️❤️
I understand. I still need to put cages on my tomatoes. But I'm in the middle of kitchen remodel and taking care of my property and my parents. You all keep going and enjoy it. Take we time when needed. As a man probably old enough to be your dad. I truly enjoy your family. You seem like a great family. Loved prayers for dinner to.
I suggest a sprinkler for Meg in July, indoor air conditioner sanctuary for you and the baby in August! Exciting times for you guys and your growing boys🙂
Ditto ❤️ I just love how Meg is always so happy and glowing you are beautiful and you have a beautiful family sending love and light and pray God continues to bless you all 🙏💞🙏💞
Anything y'all vlog is worth watching! No apologies necessary. Wish I had a fraction of the energy, ability and knowledge you have. Are you going to share any of your birth story? I know it is a private time, but i do love seeing babies come into the world! Maintaining your personal privacy of course. Love you guys.
I wish I'd known this! Thank you! Just learned from this video something that I didn't know about removing the fruit from a young tree; so that it puts it's energy into growth rather than producing the fruit. Man! So happy I watched today's vlog! Awesome!
I like blogs that are all over the place. A little of this and a little of that. Videos that have content for everyone. Videos coving specific topics are appreciated, but so are your occasional generic update blogs.
Hello beautiful people Ben, Meg, Boys and Baby. Those fruit trees will thank you all with an abundance of fruit later. This is into the third year fruiting season, which l didn't let the trees produce the first 2 years after planting this year the plum, pear, apple and peach trees are so loaded, l needed to remove some of the fruit, fearing l might lose branches if l didn't. I'm looking forward to seeing the all new additions or changes as they come about, especially those new 🐖 🐖 keep up the good work.
Check your pear variety. Most need to have 2 trees for pollination. Keiffer does not but most others do. Your local extension office can help you determine if you need another tree. I really enjoy your channel.
Holy cow, that feast, I had to check the calendar real quick to make sure I didn't skip thanksgiving! LOL Much love to you all!! You guys are great. Keep up the hard work with the homestead and these great videos, much appreciated! I watch them while I work from the desk, gets me outside a bit when I am stuck indoors! LOL
I am SO happy to be seeing these frequent notifications go off on my phone!! I know y’all are doing 1000 things at once, and Meg is super pregnant in the sweltering summer heat, but I just miss you guys!!! So I am so so sooooo happy just to see you....I’d watch Meg fold laundry 😂
Yes, it’s always good to see parents teaching their children to thank God for their food that God has blessed them with. This was the best part of the video for me. Thanks for sharing this video with all of us. God loves you all. God bless you all.
You are the first Homestead Family I have seen give thanks over their food you just became my favorite Homestead people God bless you that you teach your children about our Lord
Looking great everyone. Such a wonderful blessing to eat you own food. Once your freezer is full and your canning shelves are bulging you will so enjoy the winter eating the yummy cache. Nothing like working chickens who are paid in feed and scraps! Keep well. Orchard is doing great and done trees will die if the fruit is in abundance. Even strawberries should not bare fruit the first year. We have rabbits that will eat the bark of fruit trees in winter so we wrap chicken wire a few inches out. from the stock. Such a successful gardening tour!
Yes family prayer - builds faith. Love megs crazy sense of humor... "freezer camp and jungle chickens". Always looking forward to your next clip. God bless the family.
Hey, if y'all like spinach, beet tops taste very much like spinach. They are delicious sauteed in a bit of butter (or whatever you prefer to saute in). I just had some last night on some cheese pizza (after I cooked them,) Delicious. Your gardens are doing so good for new beds. Take care and have a Blessed day.
Meg get yourself a kiddie pool soak your feet when you get overheated. It's not even hot yet here.. I'm in central nc, I've been here 12 yrs and still climatizing lol. From ma
Yep it hasn't even given us bad humidity much yet here in eastern NC. And been here most my life in NC. My son was born August 89 and it was 105 the day brought home from hospital. I remember seeing news when I got home n reporter was standing in dirt n dusty..it was a pond tb4 the heat n humidity got it all and turned it to dust. Insane heat
Love you guys. Me and my husband had a little feed and seed store in the 80's. Hand loaded feed from supplier to our truck. Hand unloaded to our store. Hand loaded to our customers. In the 90's I had bone spur surgery on both shoulders. Just a word to the wise...
Volunteer plants are the best since they grew where it suits them. Nature mixes plants up to help each other. We would benefit from doing more of that in our gardens. Thanks for a sweet video!
Loved the video, great job. Here at Apple Tree Farm our urban homestead in Perth Australia, we had some of our homegrown lettuce in our sandwiches for lunch. Nothing beats homegrown produce harvested straight from your own backyard
We actually harvested more tomatoes from our compost than we did our garden last year, we already have more Tomatoes coming out of compost so I put carriage sprouts and it and somewhere a green bean showed up
Reason why volunteer plant do better is yes what meg said the roots go deeper better and boom 💥 treat them with respect because they are showing you their love for you. Hugs love you
Bumblebee junction says “ sweet potatoes want you to think their pathetic after planting but their fine”🤣 Cherokee tan pumpkins are super special I can’t believe you got some 😱 are you gonna seed save? Appalachia’s homestead with Patara is growing them too 👍🏻
I planted cherry tomatoes once 4 years ago and that’s it. They keep coming back each December (in Phoenix) and produce so much. I have a really good sweet and savory tomato jam recipe on my channel you guys should try.
I love vlogs that are like daily moments quilted together. It works because your viewers love you and the one constant in all the clips is the genuine excitement to share those life moments with us.
I do a similar meal with sausage, potatoes, onions, carrots and peas. I do mine on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet. I add a little chicken stock (or water) and then hit it with some lemon juice about 5 minutes before it’s done. One of my husband’s favorite meals. So hearty and filling without being too heavy.
I get to make my first apricot cobbler from a tree I planted....I noticed the squirrels were starting to pick them...so I picked them earlier than I wanted to and ripened them in a brown bag.....perfect. Everything you are doing looks wonderful....so glad you enjoy growing food and babies like I did...😁
I know about volunteers this one come up in the compost pile and my husband moved it and we tied it up and we moved it next to our Tomatoes but guys this thing this volunteer is wonderful
I love watching you all the time. Saw Megan helping Rebecca can ketchup. Team work is amazing, children included ❤ Blessings, protection to both families mentioned.
I agree with you. My plant starts know when they are out in nature. They were yellow and gangly. I put 1/2 of them (the weaklings, mind you) outside to do or die. I ended up putting them all out even though they have 4 more weeks before transplanting for fall harvest, the weaklings look so much better than the ones I saved inside.
the family who prays together, stays together. thank you Hollar family !!!
We don't mind the hodge podge videos. Just so long as you put out a video so we can stay in touch & see your progress. Whether its the animals, gardens, the mobile home or the food you are making.

Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. God bless.
Right. Wonderful channel and family
They are incredible. Love your channel by the way.
😍😎🐓🐔🍊
Love seeing that Excursion. 😆
Right. God bless their family.
It was heart warming to see you guys holding hands for prayer. We need a lot more that in these troubled days.💕🙏
I hope your families can see all your hard work. I’m not related but I am proud of you. I’m a mom of 6 grand mom to 9. I still run a huge garden. Dirt is my Prozac. Still working 1/2 time as a psych RN considering retirement (I am 70). Love to watch your family.

Nurse for 30 years and I can say amen sister! Vit D and dirt and some goofy quail and chickens to talk to. We don't need no stinking meds ! 😁
Amy the little farmer that is the truth. Natural healing
Sandi Schraut I need that on a t-shirt “ dirt is my Prozac”❤️
Worked eight and a half years in security at a hospital that rivaled USC and UCLA. Observed many 5150 evaluations. God's blessings on every one of you in health care. Walked the halls praying where the Lord showed me the need.
My second sons nickname was “BUBBLES” ! He never stopped laughing and he still continues to bring joy at 23!
Remember when you were a kid watching an exciting show with cliffhanger endings and a 'to be continued'?
When the next episode came on, you were so happy and excited, remember that feeling?
I get that feeling every time I see a new vlog from you guys. Thanks for starring in my favorite show!
That's the perfect description!!
I love the way Ben looks at Meg. You can see and feel the love he has for her. ❤️❤️❤️
a family that prays together, stays together. Good to witness y'all eating together at the table. May you continue to influence us to work hard and be thankful.
The trees and garden looks so GOOD 💚🌱💚🌱🌸 Everything is coming together. So worth being debt FREEEEEE. We love watching you guys.

I think they will do great because every volunteer plant always does better earlier. 💞Meg, you have been missed but you just grow that baby!
I am never disappointed in your videos any kind you guys post I'm watching thanks for sharing. My favorite you tube family ❤👍🌷🙏
Trust me.. You guys have nothing to apologize for. You just keep doing your thing... your daily routine is a delight to watch... especially your evening 'walk & chat'. Checking the crop progress and being in nature is what many of us need right now.
A daily routine is a blessing... and great for the kids too.
Be Safe. 🙂
The Perfect Vlog -- relaxed, laid back and natural --- LOVED IT
Plants are looking good. The chickens and pigs are doing their jobs. The weather is being normal. Summer is summer. Life is good. Enjoy the lack of excitement and replace it with contentment and peaceful times in your part of the world. I appreciate your efforts and am grateful to be able to share your time. Blessings to you all.
Meg, Ben you should know by now WE LOVE ANYTHING YOU POST. Thanks for the update!! Stay cool and safe .
Things always grow better where you don't want them. If you want grass, put in a driveway.
😂
That sounds about right Greg. LOL
Isn't that the truth!!
Lol so true
Your dinner looks AMAZING! Yum! You should all feel proud about growing that yourselves. For those that have never grown a garden, the flavor is so amazing as well.

Mine either. Now I cook a bunch up. Eat mine. Peel & mash up. Lay on dehydrator roll up tray and powdered. They don't even know when it's added. Lol
Thank y'all for everything! You're a great family and I love to watch y'all doing everything on the farm. You're an inspiration to so many. I'm disabled and I'm not able to do much with back, hip, knee and shoulder problems but I love watching you, the Stivers, Roots and Refuge, The Fit Farmer, The Rhodes and Sow the Land!!!

So glad your doing well. You have achieved so much to be proud of. Take care
Meg: Next month the meat birds are going to freezer camp.
Me: having a good chuckle over the Megism.
Wow always great stuff. Love your chicken bulldozers. Combine them with the pigs and you are set. Nice to see the orchard is doing well.🤠🐖🐔🏡😍💪
What a bountiful feast love to see them doing so well.
Hollar Homestead bulldozer service. Find it soon on craigslist NC.
Love how she says good morning or in this case evening beautiful people.
The banter they have in front of the camera is just refreshing.
Ive said it before but thier Ford Excursion is so cool. I wonder how many miles it has.
We steward and harvest loads of blueberries every year from the bushes that my grandma planted and stewarded 70 years ago 💙
Love you guys! And Meg, I just wanted to say it's so nice to see your happy face and infectious laugh again!!!
Don’t apologize for being bouncy, it suits you! ♥️👍🙏🤓
It’s fine...
A snapshot of daily life...
We enjoyed!
Thank you so much for sharing veery enjoyable
You guys are so cute! It is always a treat checking in and finding a vlog from The Hollars Homestead. Good to see the big happiness smiles and a job well done making your dreams come true. 😷 😊
Love the updates no matter when 😊 Trust me I understand the “its too hot” thing lol
A note about volunteer tomato's. If you put ANY tomato's in your compost, you will get them. It's fine if the original tomato was heirloom or a good quality natural tomato but it is an absolute nightmare if the tomato was purchased as a potted plant from someplace like Home Depot. The reason is that most store bought tomato plants are raised from Monsanto seeds.

I am speaking from experience. Try to avoid putting tomato's in your compost. ;)
Never knew that thanks for sharing
Um, all unstable hybrids work like that, whether GMO or not. Monsanto did not invent F1 hybrids, no matter what nonsense they may be spouting.
I am sorry but must disagree with you. My store bought cherry tomatoes reseeded themselves last year and they were phenomenal! They tasted delicious and were so prolific. So much so that late at the end of the season I smashed a bunch into the soil hoping they would seed themselves again. They are growing by the multitudes,still small,time will tell if this season is also a success. I also germinated a bunch of hothouse tomatoes this spring,time will tell on those too but the germination rate was great!
@@bettinah.7429 Said most. Not all.
@@Exiled.New.Yorker Makes sense. It was a pain in the butt that we were very careful to never let happen again. But we had these awful plants growing anywhere we put the compost. The lawn, the front flower beds, all over our garden. Hundreds of them.
I love the look on Ben's face when he looks at Meg. 11:46
Meg dear, you are absolutely amazing! I can't imagine how you're coping with it all... Blessings, Joy
Love that family circle 'round the dinner table at the beginning! Blessings Abound!
I cant wait to see how your house turns out. you guys deserve all the happiness and joy in your life you guys triumphed through so much I am so happy for you.
Meg, you look tired, need more rest! AWESOME VIDEO as always!!!!! ESPECIALLY seeing ya'll praying around the table, thanks for sharing!
Always love watching your videos!! ❤️😊
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your place us so nice, everything is healthy, growing and looking so awsome. Love how you homestead and care for the earth in a gracious natural way. God Bless you all and stay healthy.
It is just good to see you on the vlogs. The love in your eyes for each other cannot be faked. My prayers are with you to get the mobile home finished before the baby comes, but with animals and gardens, there are only a few hours a day to work. Love your greeting Meg, of "Hello beautiful people!" So happy you got a trip in to see Jess and Jeremiah. They are my other favorite channel.
Love, love, love the wandering update...your progress is matching your effort. Y'all just make me so happy
Oh wow, I love your family very much. A God fearing family, modest and inspirational always good TV to watch. The love you share, the hard work you put into your lives is a dream many can aspire to. Stay blessed always.❤🙏
Loved hearing from you guys. I wait anxiously for every update.
Loved the "Bouncy" Vlog. Have great end of the week.
My husband and I have started a container harmed in southeast Idaho. We are too on the search for our forever homestead. We have learned a lot about tomato plants. They need some help pollinating because they have male and female pollinators. Of you go out and use your hand to disturb the blossoms you will get a higher yield of tomatoes and also pull off the lower limbs of the tomato plants. If the plants are indeterminate pluck off the suckers( these can also be replanted for more plants) the determinant plants you do not want to pull off the suckers. Maybe you already know this, maybe not. Warned my heart to see people praying over their food, not something you see much anymore. Always stay humble and give thanks! Many blessings from ours to yours! ❤️❤️
“Behold, the jungle chickens!” , I love watching your videos, baby be here before you know it, many blessings towards the growing Hollar family
I understand. I still need to put cages on my tomatoes. But I'm in the middle of kitchen remodel and taking care of my property and my parents. You all keep going and enjoy it. Take we time when needed. As a man probably old enough to be your dad. I truly enjoy your family. You seem like a great family. Loved prayers for dinner to.
I love the a little bit of everything vlog
I suggest a sprinkler for Meg in July, indoor air conditioner sanctuary for you and the baby in August! Exciting times for you guys and your growing boys🙂
Four kids already, one on the way, and you still can't keep your eyes off Meg in the last minute of the video. It's sweet.
Thank you. Anything you guys share is always a true joy.
Love the video... don’t care “much” about the content as much as just watching you guys! Blessings
Where do you find freezer room for the chickens after the big pig?
Ditto ❤️ I just love how Meg is always so happy and glowing you are beautiful and you have a beautiful family sending love and light and pray God continues to bless you all 🙏💞🙏💞
Same. I usually have their videos playing in the background when i wake up. Its just chill and real.
What's wrong with the content?
Absolutely nothing! Everything they post I find adorable!
Always a pleasure to see what's going on over there on your homestead.
Thanks for the update, Megan you are glowing with health, I enjoy your chatty vlogs it's like catching up with you.
Anything y'all vlog is worth watching! No apologies necessary. Wish I had a fraction of the energy, ability and knowledge you have. Are you going to share any of your birth story? I know it is a private time, but i do love seeing babies come into the world! Maintaining your personal privacy of course. Love you guys.
Thanks I was starting to think I missed one. 😆
Admit it you like their channel for the truck. 🤣🙄🤣
You do know an Excursion can hold a bunch of German Shepherds.😁😏
I too look forward to their weekly videos
I wonder what they named their Excursion? 😜
I wish I'd known this! Thank you! Just learned from this video something that I didn't know about removing the fruit from a young tree; so that it puts it's energy into growth rather than producing the fruit. Man! So happy I watched today's vlog! Awesome!
I like blogs that are all over the place. A little of this and a little of that. Videos that have content for everyone. Videos coving specific topics are appreciated, but so are your occasional generic update blogs.
Anyone else see how much more lush their property is now? Hard work and determination right here folks.
Hello beautiful people Ben, Meg, Boys and Baby. Those fruit trees will thank you all with an abundance of fruit later.

I haven't been on RUclips today and I thought I might go check and see who all has put up a video!! Thanks for the surprise!!!! Love it!!
I don't envy you your last 2 months during the heat of the year
I like disheveled vlogs better than super organized vlogs😁
Yes, it’s always good to see parents teaching their children to thank God for their food that God has blessed them with. This was the best part of the video for me. Thanks for sharing this video with all of us. God loves you all. God bless you all.
I get a tote full. I'm a 63yr old woman. No tractor. For the $$ savings...I hand bucket it out (by myself) into my 55gal steel barrels =-D
Everything looks wonderful, including the family!! (Love it when you show the family praying). Jungle chickens, lol
This is honestly my favorite type of video. A little bit of everything. Love it 💕
Enjoy seeing your progress.
Love it!! Holding hands and praying before a meal!
What is it about expectant mothers, they just totally radiate! Great update!
Love your channel!! You all rock!!!
Sitting together at the picnic table together was my Highlight! You are an amazing family doing amazing things! 💖
You are the first Homestead Family I have seen give thanks over their food you just became my favorite Homestead people God bless you that you teach your children about our Lord
Lumnah estates always say grace
As do the Rhodes and the Sow the Land family.
Ahhh. A new tee shirt. “Everything does better in the dirt.” So true for a lot of things. ❤️
Ooo I'd get that one too :)

We actually harvested more tomatoes from our compost than we did our garden last year, we already have more Tomatoes coming out of compost so I put carriage sprouts and it and somewhere a green bean showed up
Love the volunteers! Last fall our yard ducks and/or chickens gave us a few tomatoes!
Reason why volunteer plant do better is yes what meg said the roots go deeper better and boom 💥 treat them with respect because they are showing you their love for you. Hugs love you
Bumblebee junction says “ sweet potatoes want you to think their pathetic after planting but their fine”🤣 Cherokee tan pumpkins are super special I can’t believe you got some 😱 are you gonna seed save? Appalachia’s homestead with Patara is growing them too 👍🏻
Love you guys! Great video! All the peeping going on in the background. Love it.
Amazing how that garden is doing from that hard soil. As you say before having compost there and late planting there is the best. Blessings for all 👍
I planted cherry tomatoes once 4 years ago and that’s it. They keep coming back each December (in Phoenix) and produce so much. I have a really good sweet and savory tomato jam recipe on my channel you guys should try.
I love vlogs that are like daily moments quilted together. It works because your viewers love you and the one constant in all the clips is the genuine excitement to share those life moments with us.
I hope you dont ever stress about content or over think it. We're here for the ride.
Wheel Chair wheels on the chick shaw nice touch!
Hello
Wow you're place is coming along so great!!
Thank you guys for sharing !!
I do a similar meal with sausage, potatoes, onions, carrots and peas. I do mine on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet. I add a little chicken stock (or water) and then hit it with some lemon juice about 5 minutes before it’s done. One of my husband’s favorite meals. So hearty and filling without being too heavy.
You bring me joy on days that are difficult. Thank you 🙏 I am still catching up but loving your journey. Gorgeous family ☺️
I get to make my first apricot cobbler from a tree I planted....I noticed the squirrels were starting to pick them...so I picked them earlier than I wanted to and ripened them in a brown bag.....perfect. Everything you are doing looks wonderful....so glad you enjoy growing food and babies like I did...😁
I know about volunteers this one come up in the compost pile and my husband moved it and we tied it up and we moved it next to our Tomatoes but guys this thing this volunteer is wonderful
I love watching you all the time. Saw Megan helping Rebecca can ketchup. Team work is amazing, children included ❤ Blessings, protection to both families mentioned.
I agree with you. My plant starts know when they are out in nature. They were yellow and gangly. I put 1/2 of them (the weaklings, mind you) outside to do or die. I ended up putting them all out even though they have 4 more weeks before transplanting for fall harvest, the weaklings look so much better than the ones I saved inside.
The 👶 coming along! It won't be long. I'm praying for a healthy baby and safe delivery. Love y'all's family and union.
