You end up with enough stone, you could build your farmhouse with stone walls! Like 18th century New England 😁🤗
Gina, another use for your garlic scapes is to puree them, then blend them with butter to your preferred consistency, press into a thin layer (1/4 inch) in a parchment paper lined pan, slice into small squares and freeze. This garlic butter can be used in any cooking, or garlic bread, etc.
Your sharing-idea is very much appreciated. Thank you.
My personal favourite.
Great idea, thanks
I tried that for the first time last week and we had a pat on baked potatoes with sour cream. Soooo good!
Put some potting soil in between the rocks and add some annual flowering plants and you will have a flowering rock wall.
Another thought…… contact Charlie from Not Thursday on RUclips. He does metal detecting in New Hampshire. I think he is south of Keene. Ask him about the bottles. He’s very knowledgeable about settlement patterns too and the history of each time period. He’s a walking encyclopedia. Perhaps he would be interested in doing a collab with you.
I think that’s called a rockery, New Englanders don’t do that to the rock walls but they are beautiful.
Another thought I had was use the rock wall to plant herbs for cooking.
Looks like the Off-grid cabin needs a antique bottle display shelf on the wall. Like you don't have enough to do. Keep it up, we are enjoying your new adventure>
Beautiful morning!!! Do you think maybe the meat birds need two feeders in each coop? Just an observation from an untrained eye. Your homestead is so pretty in the early morning light. Blessings.
WOW, that garlic scape pesto is making my mouth water. On the pork chops it must have been wonderful.
It's so nice to see more of the animals, especially Camo and Daisy.
I love watching your family and EVERYTHING you are doing getting your new Homestead set up.😊
Love how it looks around the shipping container, it really opened up things. A huge difference from when you started. Love that rock wall too, keep adding to it for Gina.
Hi guys & gals. The trailer on the off grid land area looks great so far. It looks like fun but lots of work.🥰🌼🌲🌳🇨🇦
Somehow, Al, I distinctly remember a few times you said that there would be a deck on the new house!!!!
I’m a little curious,how are the fish doing ? And did you find any beavers rebuilding that dam ?
You should consider putting up some of your electric fencing around the off-grid cabin area, bring in a few goats for a day trip. They could clean up the area quickly.
that sounds like a great idea. 👍
Put down some wild flower seeds to, makes the bees happy and looks good.
Your before and after shots of the container cabin yard made me think of all the before and after shots you are probably going to be doing of the main pasture and house area. I bet it would be helpful to set aside maybe a staked point or points to take the before and after shots up there from, so they will be all from the exact same perspective. Can't wait to see all the progress you make this season and in seasons to come. I really miss the daily vids, but these 30 minute double day vids make up for it.
I love the fact that y'all pray over your food al that place is shaping up praying blessings for your family
Blessing to see
when Gina is milking the goats get her and old school metal tractor seat and make a stool out of it because the design is form fitting for human derrieres
Put in a covered area to sit out in the rain, snow or for shade maybe with a picnic table, and a grill.
Yeah. And it’s cheaper to build with cement blocks these days
@@laurajones2032 - Isn't that something?
That looks sooooo nice....glad you have that equipment to make your cozy cabin look inviting.....enjoy....
Pretty little garden Gina!
Hope to see more flower and landscape gardens at the new Farm!
Your goats would love to help you clean up your forest and they would leave you some fertilizer in exchange. Just exchange some diesel for portable electric fencing.
A portable Shelter for night time safety would protect them from predators.
Gina!! Thank you for the garlic scape pesto inspiration!!! I just picked ours and was trying to figure out what to do with them all.
Clippers are great there are 3 other sizes for Gina to use also one to go on up to the top of the container to cut the branches that are hanging over the Container I use these all the time with a garden rake!!!
There is certainly no better way to learn than by doing but if your good at learning by just watching, I recommend watching the letsdig18 channel. Best excavator operator I’ve every seen! Thank you for bringing us along on you adventure. Stay safe!
Yup. I like him.
Try the channel of Ron Pratt of Midwestern Towing. Listen closely to both men's voices. Same inflexion, cadence, accent, and kindness.
I wonder if related, or same region of USA?
I asked, no answers.
It must be nice to be rich! To be able to have all that equipment! What happen if gas goes to $5 or more you have ally of equipment that need gas!
If I may suggest some ideas for the cabin, what about taking large boulders outlining a patio area out the sliding doors, filling that in and maybe pavers or just packed gravel for a sitting area with the firepit or stone fireplace on the outer edge. Do a covered patio over about 2/3 rds of that, but not out to the firepit or fireplace. The covered patio will allow more usage during winter also. If you do the the boulders be sure and make steps in a couple areas. It's looking great.
Nice cleanup! I love rocks and what a blessing to have them. The pork chops was a reminder I got some on sale and to get them cooked.
Thanks for sharing. Hey do you know JC @ Lori? Also in New Hampshire building yet another cabin.
Yay! Nothing says New England like a stone wall! Love it!
Good morning looks good around the container
Thank you so much for a great video of farm life thank you so much for always coming up with some beautiful things to share hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy
Would like to see an update on grass, & Trout.
Wow…Olivia is growing up so fast. She is beautiful! She looks like her sweet mama! I just love your homestead. Everything is always so neat and organized. And your animals seem so happy and content. I can’t wait for you to get to your new property. Watching the process has been fascinating and going to get more so as time goes on. I love watching your channel. We appreciate you sharing your lives with us!
Love the look of rock walls so cool 😎
Great work everything looking great!! Gina funny how you made Garlic Scape Pesto I just made some yesterday !! Mine was a littel strong and used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts just as good and much cheaper!! Stay blessed!!
Again from Richard Armour: New England is rocky and hilly, except where it is hilly and rocky.
Joan Gibson ~ Love that! Thanks.
@@TXNLaurenMcN Zsa
Dang Ice Age anyway. On the upside: Rock Walls!
The hawks like to come around where humans are working on the land because you disturb the rodents and save them from extra work.
That makes so much sense! Thanks for posting about it.
I think you should put a rock wall around your patio/fire pit seating area.
Some have suggested to use the big rocks as a wall to hold in a gravel leveled off area off the back of the contained as a picnic area and have a fire pit in the middle area. I think that would look cool. It would drain well and the fire pit would be isolated from any plant material. It would be raised so stepping down to the area from the cabin would be easier. I have no idea what they will do. Using those huge rocks around the picnic area would be great whatever they decide.
Al: "Listen to them birds"
Seconds later: The big nasty Swedish bird starts to roar (aka The Chainsaw).... LOL
Was thinking the same thing. 🍀
Me too. Roaaaaaar!
You said that your local gas company doesn't have off road diesel, but can you contact a farmers dealer near the off grid property that can deliver some for you and purchase a tank to store it in? You can get a discount on it because you are a homesteader! Plus you can get regular fuel at the same discount price.
Just a suggestion. Great job and I look forward to seeing more progress. Bill
Think about when you build your new Barn and the use of your new equip. You have to get Gina on the Tractor and Bobcat so she becomes much better at operating the equip., NOW IS THE TIME TO START, putting her in the seat.
Al get her a pair of Felco hand pruners with a leather sheath. Number 7 model. They cut like butter. I've had mine for 25 years.
Terry Swearingen ~ I have needed new pruning shears for ages and had never heard of Felco before. I can understand why you've had yours for 25 years! They get extremely high ratings. Unfortunately, the #7s would probably outlive me, lol, so I ordered the 5s.
@@TXNLaurenMcN I think those are the type professional pruners use and I think I remember you can replace the blades too!
@@StoneKathryn ~ You can! You can almost rebuild them, they offer so many replacement parts. I'm really excited!
if Gina watches this video you are in trouble you promised her a deck!!! rock wall instead of deck won't fly dude LOL
What are you guys using for tick repellent?
The area is realling shaping up. It will be beautiful with grass and the lovely rock walls. Thanks for sharing this transformation with us. Have a Blessed day.
You seem to have an adequate supply of rocks to build the firepit. I'd build some Adirondack chairs for seating.
I love all of the rock walls you have at the Homestead and am so glad to see you continuing the tradition at the off grid property. 💕
Good morning. ☕☕
The area around the container is going to be pretty. 👍 How is the new grass up the road coming along?
👍👍 Nice work! Be well. 🙏☝️👍🙌🙌🥰
With as much foliage maintenance you’ll be doing, you’ll need a mulched/chipper to take care of all your trimmings before they turn into big brush piles and homes for rodents and snakes.
Al said that theywere going to mulch what they didn't keep for firewood so I think something is coming in the mail?
They’ve rented a big chipper before.
They need to get the goats up there to eat the leaves
Hey its officially summer.🌻. But it feels like spring🌱 & on some days fall🍁😉 LOL..
Property is looking good 😍
Pesto sauce is delicious with any kind of pasta!!
That mini-excavator is going to be great for digging your house foundation trenches. I rented one to dig my solar array footings: Eight holes 26 inches deep and 18 inches in diameter. Our soil here is like concrete, so it would have taken weeks. Done in a few hours and returned it within the minimum rental period.
I guess that's why they call it the Granite State! Way to many rocks.
There is an easier way to move that stuff, He as a brand new Tractor with a Grapple bucket on it, he should start using is before the company that let him use it takes it back.
Good afternoon Lumnah family. Everything is looking good. Curious as to why Gina didn't use the flowers from the scapes. They are edible also. Have a blessed day. 🍀
You have some wonderful boulders you should incorporate
them in what ever seating / fire pit you make
I love your Rock Walls and hope to see many more.Its a great way to use them I love how natural it makes it all look.Keep sweet talking Al Gina and maybe he will make more Rock Walls.Lol
"Bobkitten"!!!!! Hahahhaa lol. Those rock walls will add so much charm to the homestead! We have rock walls all over our 70 acres. It always amazes me the hard work people used to do that we do now by machinery. That dinner sure did look good! Blessings to all.
If this RUclips gig ever fails you can always go in to landscaping !!!
Landscape looking awesome.
Good morning from Middle Tennessee. May I suggest putting the fire pit in the area outside the glass doors? Maybe with the smaller rocks you can build an outdoor kitchen
Al you need to get a hydraulic top link for your tractor , it will make adjusting your instruments a lot easier than having to get down and twist the old top link to get them adjusted the way you want
AL, Just curious, how much milk do you get from Buttercup and Hope?
Gina you r so right. Why would mud wasps be in a tree!!
The small trees you cut and put around front would make great steaks for Tomatoes or run Green Beans up on, or Cucumber's.
And some rustic chairs, benches and tables for the container, the pond and the grazing / house area. It pains me to see such good 2 & 3 inch diameter material going to waste even if it is only any good as firewood.
Nice to see Figaro made an appearance at the tail end of that video
I think I would build a deck around the off grid trailer maybe with a screen so that you could sit out there at night and not get eaten up by the bug. With a cooking area next to it or something like that so it’s multi purpose...
You guys are doing a great job clearing the area around the shipping container , 😊👍💕💕💕
There is unrest in the Forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas. Song The Trees by Rush
you were talking about a fire pit, use the big rocks you found and make one
I think it's time to get Gina on that tractor followed shortly by lessons on the mini excavator. AND while your in the training mode, it might be time to get Olivia behind the wheel of the Mule (you never know when an emergency might require her to drive).
Looks like you ran across the farm trash dump. Might be a good idea to run over that area with a metal detector.
What are the purple spots on Hope for
Erma Moy ~ I saw that, too, and then promptly forgot it, lol, but I wondered, too.
3:45 - that is strange... some sort of medical stuff? I also loved that Al said to Hope "Let's go find them!" (her babies) and she listened to him!
FYI, the scape flower heads are perfectly edible and add another dimension to the pesto!
I thought that was the part of the scape that you use not the stem
@@schifflangefarms4539 sometimes the stem can be tough so I snap them like asparagus to determine toughness. I made some garlic pesto the other day with both stems and flowers and it was HOT and delicious!
Al and his Tonka trucks, you should let Gina drive it. Why should you have all the fun?
You could freeze the pesto in ice cube trays and store in a zip lock bag after frozen.
Awesome Job! God Bless!! ⚘❤🥰
Yes do show your fire pit, barbecue area, loving watching all your videos, and love the cooking , happy homesteading xxx
Have a great👍🏻week🕊🏴❤️
I’m no expert by any means. However, when you mentioned the fire pit, this thought came to mind. Could you have the fire pit normal size and build a coking area to one side with an appropriate fire for the meal?
You could still have a grilled supper, without the heavy heating area. Just thinking out loud
80° here in Oklahoma this morning heat index will be over 100° today here. I'm staying inside!
Love that fancy rock drop! Going to look Nice
Look at that 1970’s Homestead. She also has garlic and she pulls that center stem and make stuff
Thanks for sharing
Looking Good . I hate to be that guy BUT you didn't put the face shield on you helmet system when it was set up. happy cutting and stay safe.
Thank you Lumnah acres 😍😍😍🙏
Get a Fork attachment 0n Tractor like is on your KaButo for lifting higher.
1:20 you might nedd two troths, so they grow faster?
Why the hell don't you move that container down by the pond were you have a fire pit and a tolet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Outhouse was deliberately built on skids so as to be moveable.
Good Morning! You guys made a perfect choice when you got the tractor and excavator. Work will be so much easier with this combo. Love the property! I am an archer and would make a 3D coarse on the property. What a beautiful spot for one. Too bad you guys are not into archery as it is a great sport. Well - back to the workshop - just cut down a birch tree and am making crafts with it. Take care!!
Your equipment inventory is growing rapidly. Jealous here.
You don’t have enough feeders for your meat birds
Time for a PTO chipper, maybe even a large stand alone one
I'd like to share a couple of things: you could dangle the cleaned bottles from tree limbs, making a wind chime, also, please be selective when cutting down the smaller spindly looking trees, you don't want to cut down a walnut, hickory, or hazelnut by mistake, the wild life will appreciate it. Love watching the journey. I'm sending a tree guide, you may or may not need it, I'm not judging, Olivia might find it fun, I did when I was her age.
garden walker ~ I've loved field guides since I was a child and I STILL refer to mine frequently. I now have field guides for almost everything.
Al is pretty good on identifying trees... but that's a wonderful kind gesture!
Rock walls will bring the timber rattler snakes if shaded🙃😔
+From what I could see it looks like a Bald Face Hornet's nwst. It will only have one opening to the inside some where around the bottom but they are always adding new layers to the outside and taring down layers on the inside. It will be safe to take down the nest after the first couple of hard freezes. They will not use that nest next year and it is fun to tare it apart to see how it is built.
With as many big rocks you have, have you thought about making a huge rock pile in the center of the future goat pasture for the goats to climb on? You probably could make it 20 feet high, the goats would love that.
Hi..... AL and Gina nice to see you both I really enjoy your video good job, thank you for showing your video homestead chicken Duck farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👨👩👧👸👕👓🐩🐔🐓🐥🐕🐈🐐🐖🐝🐠🌱🌷🌹🌺🌸🏡🎥👍👍👍
SWEET !!! LQQking Awsome !!! , I am betting the Hawk is just Loving all those small critters running away from your clearing. Nice move getting that hand rake as well. God Bless from Oklahoma where we are expecting Heat indexes around 110 today. God Bless
Gina my mouth was watering watching you cook those pesto pork chops! 👍👍👍Yum! We need smell and taste a vision 😄 You guys are a great team, very encouraging watching you do life together 🙌🙏❤️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
It's looking great so far
Hello from Idaho...There is just something about heavy equipment working, I just love it. How-ever, when are you going to start building??? You all are sure having fun. I'll keep watching. Hi girls!
