Little Miss B‘s sassy walking was adorable 💛
How exciting a greenhouse! I had one but we sold our home for our smaller homestead journey and never looked back mortgage free, less debt. It's all good, more responsibility but we're loving it!
Hi Kim how are you doing today
You are making gardeners gold and I imagine that next year it will only be better.
That sassy girl! Miss Buggy! Oh my word! We could not love her more!!!
Buggie was so cute and sassy with her hands on her hips!! She's so cute!!
That girl is 2 turning 20! Actually if she can keep her 2 year old confidence and turn it in to doing, exploring, learning, and even keeled interactions she will,go far despite what she does.
You’re right, her parents aren’t the kind to break her spirit. ♥️
Those chickens of yours are the hardest working little critters I've ever seen! I had no idea they did so much good other than provide eggs!🐓 I can hardly wait for your greenhouse to be completed. Will be interesting to see what you can grow through the winter months, lots of lettuces and greens will thrive for sure. Little Buggie is so adorable. I love hearing her talking. I think I will always call potatoes what Buggie calls them...taboes! She loved digging taboes🥰 See y'all tomorrow.
Checkout Edible Acres' chicken videos. Now that is how to get loads of compost!
Or perma pastures farm. Both those dudes makes magic with their chickens. I'm so lucky to have my own flock so I can integrate some of their magic here too.
They are Hollar chickens; they have a work ethic to live up to!
I had no idea chickens, OR pigs for that matter, we’re so useful in farming until I started watching homesteading videos. Fascinating, and you young folks rock!
BING ON THE GREENHOUSE>>>>>> WOOOOOOOOOOO! Nice compost and love the help your Boys give you!
Compost piles are amazing. They are their own industrial plant. Yup, I understand, when the gardening is over, it is over for the season. You guys were hard working gardeners. Greenhouse will be so nice. 🌻😊🌻
I cannot wait to see your gardens next year with all the "black gold" you are creating in your compost piles! You guys are rocking it this year!!
Big tip for Ben someone told me this years ago best tip ever. Use snow shovel for shoveling compost. You will love it!
It’s what I use. Lightweight, large scoop, perfect!
Love the sound of roosters crowing in the background, don't worry we can still hear you😁
Go for it......get the greenhouse/high tunnel going, and give the chickens the rest if your maters!!!! Y'all need a mater holiday😃
Our Lord definitely had His hand on y'all! Continued blessings. 🙏 ❤
No, it's called hard work.
No worries
What a difference in the growing season between North Carolina and Northern New England. You settled in an excellent growing area.🌱🍅🍁🍂
Ben, the Kioti seems to be perfect for what ya'll are doing. Thanks for sharing your life. 👏💯
How exciting! Composting all the chips, grass, plants, makes a happy bunch of chickens. Lol!
The kids are sure growing up fast. 😊
PLEASE TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE
It’s amazing how far your homestead has come. So much work, sweat, tears and love. Great family, fun to watch!
Hi Marsha how are you doing
It's amazing how chickens can turn so many things into food for themselves and give us food back and compost. We just gave are hogs the last of the garden grown for them. God Bless.
I have watched all of videos and have Learned lot at 59 years old and have been raised garden and raising chickens.
I have passed Megs recipes on to my sister and now both of us can make good bread
Have you considered top dressing your big compost pile with actual native soil every couple months to once a month depending upon the season? Some times the native soil has microbes and minerals which make the process faster and also more complete.
It's getting in there on the roots of weeds and garden plants!
Hey Ben, have you thought about turning part of the chicken run fence into a large gate that opens so you could get the tractor bucket in to dump wood chips in there and to scoop the composting material out? I know it's a good task for the boys but could perhaps save some time and energy. 😉
It would be interesting to hear your boys' perspective of homesteading. Perhaps you could mention them by name when they are helping you and ask how they enjoy working with their dad-just a thought.
Meg & Ben are letting the boys decide if/how much they are on camera, and apparently they’re not interested in being RUclips stars (unlike their sister). 🤣🤣. They are very good parents. 😁 I would, however, like to connect names and ages with faces - so perhaps a short video identifying everyone? Thanks for sharing your family with all of us. God bless. 🥰
@@auntielaura5 Just go back to the traveling/searching videos and they do tell all their names.
The chickens will be doing their happy dance on top of the garden discard🐓! What a great system you have going🤗! I can’t wait for the greenhouse and how y’all use it🤗🤗!
Prayers were answered that you are okay. Happy about the greenhouse. Blessings Helen Montana
Can't wait to see the greenhouse construction !!!!
Gotta love fall when the gardening is done lol😆👍😊...
Yes, being over it, happens to me every year!!!
Oh gosh, that little Buggie is a breath of fresh air! Just love her spunk!! As much as I love the garden, I am glad when it shuts down for a few months before we start all over again!!
I like to hear the crowing. For those of us who hardly ever hear that it sounds great. I watch you faithfully from Kentucky.
I love to watch miss buggy!❤❤🧙🧙🧙🍅🍅🍅🥬🥬🌶🫑!
I love your homestead, I learn so much from you guys, thank you, I wish the best for you guys. Blessings
Have you thought about making some sort of door with an internal frame inside for the compost that way you could scoop it out from outside no shovelling then push the new stuff back inside then lock down the door /flap .
I was thinking a larger door so the tractor can do all the work, saving time and back strain.
Wonderful vlog; thanks for sharing! Great progress! Many blessings to your family 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Them boy's sure are growing up as hard working gentlemen! Aww Look at her walking with her hands on her hips!! To cute!! Thanks for sharing!! 👍❣❤❣👍
wow, video after video..........I love it ♥ Thank you, thank you
I doesn't seem that long ago that we watched you plant and string the tomato bed
🙋🏼♀️🕊. Good little hard working hungry chickens. Good job everyone. Have a wonderful evening, . Good luck 🍀 stashing those tomatoes. Always something yummy 🤤🍀💕🍀💕🍀💕🙋🏼♀️🕊🕊🕊 blessings 🕊🕊
Another good job guys! I love how your boys are right there pitching in. Blessings 💕🙏🏻💕
When you get the greenhouse up and ready to plant in it will be like another growing season starting.
One thing that we do when we pull out our plants is to cover the weed cloth with ornamental grass cuttings. (just the middle with the seedheads chopped off.) We do that to keep UV rays off the weed barrier. In the spring we chop the grass and add it to our compost.
Wow ,that's like Magic🙌.Chickens are amazing!
I feel yah on the Garden ,I'm ripping and rearing most everything except the Flowers . They will go will the Frost👏.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
One thing I noticed, depending on the placement and orientation of your greenhouse, you may need to add a runoff ditch beside the hill to keep the rain from coming through the greenhouse.
YES! I have a good friend with a flooded greenhouse. It was not fun.
Your boys are so good to work!
When the garden is planted and the plants are growing its pretty exciting to see what grows and what u will be eating soon. Then as the months go one the excitement is over. Lots of work. I can see being done with it. The greenhouse is the new excitement and starting the fall stuff. Can't wait to see that go up.
This is so true. I, myself decided to give up on much of my zone 8 garden today. And I was holding out,, however haven't seen even a single ripe cherry tomato in over 2 weeks!!
@@Katydidit that was our first couple years here. We had tons of tomatoes but they just wouldn't ripen. Now they do well but this year I was to busy to plant. I did have tomatoes that seeded themselves along with sweetcorn. We did get to benefit from that a little. May u will get lucky and still get something before winter sets in
I loved putting up a hot tunnel. Thing was massive..doing it winter actually helped not die from the heat .. can't wait to see yours go up! Thanks for the videos.. don't let anything stop you, do you! And Buggy knows it all ready. Love and respect from North Devon, England x
The chicken's are a God send buggy is so sweet a little madam your boys are the growing so fast very excited about the green house 🏠 love you guys take care Peter
😁 YAY! Can't wait to watch the greenhouse going up and see the final reveal. Good luck with it all! It will be amazing!
Great compost! So excited for you guys, that green house will be amazing! Here in Oregon we are still getting tomatoes, so can’t pull them yet!
Ben is awesome at making compost. My family is looking forward to videos of the greenhouse installation. We love the Hollar channel. ♥️👍♥️👍
We enjoy watching your videos and seeing the "before" for the greenhouse is pretty cool. We' re just hoping to get to our land soon...and documenting it on our new channel as we go. Keep up the great work!
So excited for the greenhouse!!!
Meg, green tomato relish is awesome! Especially with some hot peppers. It is great on brats.
Happy, happy chickens. 🐓 Loving Little Miss Prim’s new sassy walk. 😂
Your boys are sure getting big! Quiet, hard working, humble young men. Of course sister is precious. I was the oldest girl with 4 older brothers also.
Hi Sewing how are you doing today
Congratulations on the compost!!!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one that’s just over it. I got that way the first week of August. I was tired of sweating and being dirty every single day. 😝 I let the garden go wild. We have a ton of okra pods that are nearly a foot long. I will be saving and selling the seeds…we don’t like okra, so we were giving it all away. I really want to get my winter garden started as we are finally getting cooler temps with the highs in the low 80’s instead of upper 90’s. But I have beautiful zinnias and marigolds overtaking the garden spaces and I don’t want to rip those out…they are so pretty.
Wow... your tomatoes are nearly finished. Ours are still green or just starting to flower. This year has been incredibly LATE! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 9/15/2022.
Glad your are doing great and hope everything is going good in the other things in your life.
If you can have tomatoes until December, consider planting seeds for short season tomatoes more vigorous plants, and a December harvest. Even if that harvest is all green tomatoes.
Good day everyone. You all work so hard everything is looking lovely though 😊
So glad your all ok and doing well after all your upheaval. Looking forward to your daily videos. So much love and hugs ❤️ 🤗 ❤ xjx
I know NOTHING about farming, but am wondering if you can feed the chickens or pigs the bad tomatoes? Would it make them sick? Your family is absolutely precious!
Yes you can !
Build your cage and pallet stucture in the shape of the bucket on the tractor, hinge the wall on the chicken coop, and place everything in a way that you can use the tractor and streamline the whole process.
That compost is gold. I hope some day to have that
Get going on the green,house! the tomatoes in the basket was a good last haul! if the weather is nice it is a great time to build the greenhouse!
You need to get the greenhouse up before the winter weather😉😉 and because I am looking forward to seeing it! 🌻🌻💕💕
Hey guys! I'm so there with you and the garden. It's that time of year, Squash Season. Keep up the great work and God Bless all of you 😉👌
Looks so much better! Buggy was so adorable!!! Mini woman😂😂Hugs! 💞💞🍅🍅
Meg’s face when she said bugs, priceless! Ben I would have totally messed with my wife if that happened, you’re a good man!
Can't wait to see your greenhouse. How exciting!!!
Just wondering what you'd think about making a door at the back of your chicken run. That way you can move the compost directly into the bin rather than having to wheelbarrow it out :-)
I miss my chickens for many reasons, but that gold they added to the garden was the best!
Just a suggestion since you're looking to eliminate steps. Why not re-design your
pallet composter so that you just make one trip to empty it. Have it rest on a pallet,
and lift the entire box which is sitting on the pallet and take it to its final destination,
Have the sides of the pallet box re-designed so that it can open from front & back side
via some latches and empty it that way? Saves many trips with the tractor. IMO.
Looking forward to The Greenhouse. Your feathery little dinosaurs Do Not mess around.
Love that compost pen 👌 and can’t wait to see the greenhouse go up 👏
Your sons are sure growing up fast; very soon they'll be grown men and out on their own. Buggy is still a little sweetie 😊.
Thank you for the new video...rude rooster 🐓 cockadoodledoooo! The chickens are hardworking, cute little cluckers.
Chickens are amazing assets. Ours were on our garden space through the winter and we our garden was awesome this year. All the plants were so healthy
🇨🇦❤️🇱🇷Hi Ben….Garry here from GBL-Great idea with the compost! We are getting into Hugelkulture for next season!
The kids are growing up fast ❤️
I'm not sure if I've ever seen such HAPPY CHICKENS! I remember when you built that chicken coup & purchased your first batch of chickens 🌿
I'm so excited for your green house!!!! I don't have space for one! But I can dream!
It's always so great to see "Buggy" hanging out with ya'll outside... running around barefoot in the grass and dirt and the rocks. She is sooooooooooooooooooooo fortunate to be growing up this way. And she just keeps getting cuter and prettier every time we see her! I forgot... what is her "real" name? And will you continue to call her Buggy for awhile or ???
I think not sharing real names is for privacy and the kid's safety since you tube is so public. Some people share, some decide not to.
We have tomatoes still ripening, zone 5 Canada, so can't clear that up yet. And we have lots of runner beans coming along but out first frost date is October 12 and I really want the garden set up for the spring by then because it gets cold fast here and then it's too cold for us seniors 😜 to work outside 😲.
thanks for the video. looking forward to the high tunnel. have a great week-end
It all sounds like a plan. I suspect it will work out just fine too. Priorities seem to be right, and that's a good reason to have faith in the plan. Be well. ;)
Excited to put up your green house! I have been reluctant pulling out my tomatoes as well; if I can just get a few more before the season is over … but I need space for my cold crops ! 😉
Suggest giving your chickens much more outside space.
Example: add another 16'x16' space and add an 8' door/gate so you can move the compost with your tractor.
Win-win.
They get the space that they absolutely need and you save hours of backbreaking work
It's nice you can use the tractor bucket to move the compost around. Using the Gorilla Cart would take a bit longer. Good to see Jack and Tyler helping with the compost removal from the chicken coop. You ended up putting the wood chips in by yourself. Yep, the tomatoes are starting to fall off in production so it makes sense that you are taking some of the plants out. I thought that you can't compost tomato vines. I pretty much burn the left over tomato plants in the Spring. Because we are in Minnesota we let out tomato plants keep going until the killing frost to get the maximum amount of tomatoes. I've heard that you can get tomato blight if you compost the tomato vines. The chickens working on it might really help? By Spring the left-over tomato vines here have black spots on the dried up vines. I just pull them out and burn them. thanks for this Hollars!
I can not wait for your greenhouse to be built. Your little girl is just too cute modelling her dress. With that compost I reckon next year your garden is going to be fantastic.
I hear you I was about done with the garden around this time too years ago. Looking forward to the greenhouse build. Blessings to all. 😊🇺🇲
It's been a rough year for a lot of people. Oklahoma we had the worst heat I only got a couple handful of tomatoes. My husband and I are working on cleaning up our back yard for a spring garden. Hopefully next year we will be blessed with tons of vegetables.
Out with the old in with the new ❤️
Looking great!
I got one of those tomato presses that you use Meg. Love it love it love it!
I miss you guys when you don't post, but I also appreciate that you need regular breaks. I don't want you to get burnt out! You are like my friends that I haven't met! I live vicariously through you sometimes 😆
Anyway I think you could cut out the wheelbarrow part of the chicken compost maybe! If you could figure out a way to have a lifting gate near the outside compost pile, you could have the centre chicken pile closer to the corner and just shovel it straight through the lifting gate into the newly emptied outside compost bin? Anyway just an idea from a lazy friend! xx
It’s good to see your boys working with you. Please show them more in your vlog. Love your family.
You need a door or hatch on the back side of your run to access your compost bin on the back side. Looks like alot of trips back and forth. A little hatch in the corner would eliminate wagons. I need to do this when my chickens are finally contained!
You guys are an absolute inspiration to me. You guys remind me of me and my husband more than you can imagine lol.
I'm so glad you guys are all okay from your car accident. I look forward to your videos every day you post, and I've been binge-watching all your old videos. We had a major medical problem come up for one of our children (who's a little older than Buggy) that will be intensive and ongoing for a few years. Your videos are one of the only things that relaxes me with all the medical things we have to do with our child, on top of daily tasks with our other children. Thank you for going through all the trouble to record and edit everything you do each day for all to see. God bless you all!
Sweating all day everyday; it's just part of the life!
I live in the ozarks of Missouri and I have removed my tomato plants for the year. But I also put in cauliflower flower cabbage and green beans for fall.
