    You're doing wonderful work. Beautiful homestead...you've completely transformed the property, and made it productive in so many great ways. It's always fun to see what your new/next project might be. And we can see what this next one will be, and how busy you'll be. Congratulations, and please don't worry about getting episodes out for us. Take care of yourselves, and we'll be here when you're ready.

    Rabbits! Had quite a few over the years and even built a "Rabbit Hilton" for 60+ rabbits. They are quick, aren't they. You'll know the male rabbit has taken a liking to you when he slashes you with hot rabbit urine (across the face!). He's scent marking you as his loved possession. Sometimes, it's hard to accept, but it's love of the rabbit kind. Never forget that they are an escape machine. Looking forward to seeing a little human bunny inside the house.

    • @highvibe4839
      @highvibe4839 Год назад

      They need to put up signs of no trespass to keep the DPI off the property. The DPI have been extremely controversial on the east coast of Australia with small hobby bee keepers 😢 no mites, yet they have used fipronal on many properties unethically. Years of work destroyed along with healthy Bees. Bees are incredible,I’m with you on that!

    Troy and pascal, followed you guys from the start with the sailing and now the small scale farming. You two are more inspirational than you may realise. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us as you are inspiring many others to take the plunge both on the water and also on the land. Your children will have the best life in your care and guidance. Your values and lifestyle will carry them far in life. Always look forward to your videos to escape the nonsense we see far too much of these days. Geez even an old barstool like me has started thinking of getting out of the Perth suburbs and moving to the country for the clean peaceful life with plenty of space.
    You’ll be great parents and remember to put your family first before the posts. I’ll still watch even a video posted once in a blue moon.
    Cheers

    OMG that takes me back to my year in Aus, in the early 90s … bottles of Coopers filled with Passata! And the Mooli … my gran swore by her mooli but eventually, after decades and decades, it gave up the ghost, and TBH we’ve never needed to do preserves on that scale again … so now, thrust into our urban garden on an island situation, we’re thinking tomatoes and possibly preserved aubergines might be the way forward, we shall see. And yes, Starsan is the work of magic, and will kill nasties left and right! And passata is the greatest preserved tomato sauce ever … so versatile, so full of goodness and vitamins, and so damn tasty!
    Some really nice, straight-looking sections of wood on those felled gums - any chance of getting a mobile sawmill to come over and mill you some greenwood planks? Or are gums not good for wood?
    Also loving the food production from the Fletchers Small Farm - heaps of ideas for small growers!
    The talk of “Flemish Giants” made me laugh, coz back in the late 70s we were in a tiny house in Camberwell, London, when my granddad brought home some nice “friendly” rabbits bought “from a bloke in the pub” … yeah, you know where this is going eh? Cue 72 hours of insanity, massive rabbits trying to burrow under/over/through the garden, and my grandma eventually declaring it was her or the rabbits, so back they went
    We’re all so, so excited about the arrival of our little rescue dog - she’ll be making her way to us in mid September, so we’re super stoked for her arrival - I sent you a pic on Facebook but the auto-reply said you didn’t monitor that account, which is fair enough coz of course you’re close to birthing Firstborn, and working harder than ever! I’m still trying to get my head around Woodworking 101, which is proving to be a nightmare, but I’m keeping on going, so hope all goes well for you and the birth and hope to see Firstborn soon 😊 Love you both to bits and all the best for the birth!

I also liked the way you separated the seeds and skins from the tomatoes. It appears that all three of you are doing well and I am happy to see that. I understand why you might be doing a little less videography but hope that when the time comes you will be able to do a short video announcement. LOL

    Since fruit doesn't fall far from trees there can be every confidence your new family member will become someone at least as exceptional as the amazing, admirable couple who chose to bring them into the world.
    Regardless of how vicarious the process will be the possibility that you might allow your extended circle of RUclips friends to share in some aspects when you imbue your child with the things you have come to consider as worthwhile in life is a most pleasant anticipation.

    Great to see all your efforts coming together and more than baby rabbits on the way!
    I don't know what your plans are for the farm as in how long you intend to live there, long time ago, 40 years I think, some friends bought 20 acres near Coffs Harbour and did the self sufficient free range garden thing but also started planting stands of valuable trees each year, which these days gives them an annual windfall that helps buy major purchases for the 'farm'. A few years ago they even decided to buy a new Forester!
    Food for thought?

    • @FreeRangeLiving

      Excellent! Tagataste is great for nitrogen fixing and fodder, but I'm sure you know more about it than an old mechanic like me! Sorry I had to drop out of patreon, Daydream rebuild is absorbing a fair bit of my age pension but I expect to be chasing the sun next year! Cheers
