    It's tough to pack away food in a small home that's not made for storage. But where there's a will, there's a way.

    🇦🇺I’ve learned something from watching people gardening is you never know when you will have bumper crops and when a crop will fail. Plan to have enough for two or more year, just in case. You can always bless others that can’t garden for whatever reason.

    Sweet sweet people. God has Blessed you hands & your land.
    I know it’s hard work. But it’s a satisfaction that most like me don’t understand ( only because I haven’t had an opportunity of that life). I still pray for it, after all these years.

    I'm definitely putting sweet potatoes in my garden next year. GOD BLESSED US WITH A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST of tomatoes this year. Starting to plan what to plant next year. Potatoes /Sweet Potatoes /Onions/ Carrots/Garlic/Tomatoes. And whatever THE GOOD LORD LEADS ME TO PLANT. I LOVE WATCHING BOTH OF YOUR CHANNELS. GOD BLESS US ALL FROM THE EVIL THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD.

    You guys amaze me! I’m an old lady that is trying to give the homesteading life a go. We are ready to get a cow to raise of which I’ve never done, my husband farmed a long time ago. Lol, I feel like the Green Acres couple. I’m from the city, but not New York. 😅. I have one question. Did you guys know you were going to do all this when you got married? I’m sure you think it’s a silly question, but I have no idea. Just wondering what your expectations were. To me, I think you probably were raised doing all this, and it’s just what you knew what you would do. It’s a way of life. Well I think it’s such a beautiful thing! You have a beautiful family, keep up the awesome work you do in so many ways, and may God keep blessing you forever! I love the way you both think. You are a power couple doing the lords work. Zee 😊❤

    Thank you for sharing with us and Jenning’s is definitely daddy’s little helper. I can’t wait to plant sweet potatoes in the spring. And Misty I agree with you about Romeo and Juliet, if they intentionally want to kill the chicks you would only have found a couple littles. People rush to judge without knowing what happened. Could you let us know how canning the sweet potatoes goes. And what a great haul. God bless y’all.

    Great sweet potato haul! Hearing you say what it takes to grow the sweet potatoes kinda makes me feel less like I failed in growing them. I planted starts that I purchased online which were sent to me based on our last frost date. They didn’t survive and I thought it was me lol (certainly not outside the realm of possibility). My husband really enjoys them but honestly I do not care for them so I kinda decided I wouldn’t mess with them but instead just make it a point to pick some up from a local farmer. Loved seeing the joy on those smiling little faces helping you. 😊
