Are rhubarb leaves poisonous? Rhubarb leaves contain a couple of different chemicals which are unfortunately toxic to both humans and animals. While you'd have to eat quite a few to become ill, it's still best to steer clear of them
It’s Always a blast to see the next video popping in my notifications ❤😊
Bonsoir John et Tara.
Je suis tellement contente de vous revoir.
Votre maison prend forme, c'est merveilleux.
Vous faites un travail de titans.
J’adore OBI qui se roule et fait des trous dans la terre.
Et Tara une vraie petite paysanne.
Toute l’amour que vous mettez das votre jardin.
Et qu’elle boulot, mais au bout vous récolter de bons légumes maison .
Avec mon mari ont vous souhaite une très belle soirée.
Gros bisous MARIA.
💖🥰🫶💖💖💖💖😘
When training Obi, the sweet boy needs to learn a hard NO when he even glances at a chicken. Get him on the right track early. Beautiful pup. ❤
@@dandangler8815 yes they are poisonous but the chickens ate them without any ill side affects, possibly birds have a different metabolism which makes them immune to what ever is in the rhubarb leaves.
I just can't with Sawyer walking with his hands behind his back like a little old man lol. So stinking cute.
So cute isn’t it Kimberly! ❤️❤️
So who does Sawyer walk like?
I was just about to say the same! So adorable!!!
All three of them! Crusoe jauntily leading the way, Sawyer behind, ObI frisking alongside. Picture perfect.

Border Collies are one of the smartest breeds and are the quickest to train. They have a keen sense of herding and will work hard to keep that herd (or family in your case) in check.
Tara you have such patience with the planting and having the puppy and children running all around. I dont think i would have survived that. I salute you
Thank you friend, I am trying my best ❤️❤️
How fun having TWO little shovels and four paws to help dig your gardens.
WOW the tree! I’m in tears, an actual dream come true. It’s so beautiful seeing things you talk about happening on the farm becoming reality. It’s a reminder to always talk about the good things that could happen instead of the bad, you never know what that positive energy might bring ❤
He is the cutest and easiest little pup I have seen, but then again all day outside playing, which puppie wouldn’t love that?
And Sawyer hands on back surveying his land, one boot off😂
Sawyer is just too cute! His mannerisms are something to make anyone smile haha Thanks so much for watching friend 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
I thought was the cutest thing with the two boys marching off and Sawyer with his hands behind his back!! They are growing sooooo fast Mom and Dad!!
I was going to say the same thing! Sawyer's little walk so precious?
Sawyer marching behind his brother with his hands behind his back lol so cute x
I just keep thinking how lucky I am to have found this remarkable family. How lucky that you chose to share your lives with all of us. You really do enrich ours with the simple beauty that you and your enchanted little farm offers. The boys are so darling to watch, the puppy is perfect, yours and Johns love and patience is inspiring and it’s all wrapped up in that most beautiful setting. It just doesn’t get any better. Thank you so much Terra and John for all the work that it takes to allow all of this to happen. The number of lives you brighten every week is tremendous. Love and hugs to all 🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👨👩👦👦 🐶
This was so kind of you to say friend, thank you! It means so so much to us that we have all your support and love. We really could not do this job without you and the rest of the community ❤️❤️
All of a sudden, you see all the pieces coming together - the beautiful curving stone pathway meeting that gorgeous tile work....the patio doors leading to that lovely patio, the long tall window, the view, the steps leading downward past the curvy flower bed, tying into the once hidden stone floor......omg well done! Wow, just wow❤❤❤
Thanks so much friend, we are so pleased with how it’s turning out 🙏🏼😊❤️
LOVE ALL THE PROGRESS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR SANITY HERE IN THE STATES AS THE WORLD IS FLYING APART. STAY SAFE AND HAPPY
Omg cannot believe Sawyer marching with his hands behind his back…cute boys………
So sweet isn’t it Larisa! ❤️❤️
I thought that Sawyer was so cute too 😊
@@TheNewbys I am a grandmother of three boys…soft spot for sure. You have a lovely family, love how you are doing videos smartly, to generate interest in projects, financing, showing your talents, your wonderful neighbours…seeing the progress from day one…shocking how much of a change everything looks….bravo. Hugs from me to your amazing vision. 🇨🇦👍💕🌷
After a lifetime of puppies, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to talk to them. They learn words and actions attached to those words so much more than I thought when I had my first puppy. Things like "Where is Sawyer?"; "bring the ball"; "find the boys." It's amazing to me that they then can figure out "Bring the boys" and off Obi goes to bring the boys to you. Such a lovely little trio they are.
My German shepherd did just that he would love to go find my baby grandchildren scared some people when he rounded them up
Thanks for this friend! ❤️❤️
CLEANING THE TILES: baking soda, make a mixture of 2:1 water/vinegar + add 10 ml dishwasher liquid …moisten the tiles + sprinkle good the soda on it - with a hard brush rub the water/vinegar mix on it - it foam, after a few minutes rinse it off with clear water
MAINTENANCE: 5l warm water, 250 ml lemon juice, 60 ml olive oil - mix it and put it on the tiles 👋
Thanks for the tips!
Idea about keeping the puppy out of the chickens coop.😊 Take a roll of 24in wide roll of chicken wire and roll out on the ground with part on the ground the other side up the outside of the coop. Then either lay gravel over it or dirt. The other part wire it to the bottom of coop. At the door lay some large flagstone under the gate. Animals do not like to dig at the wire it doesn't feel good under their feet.
Crusoe , Sawyer and Obi the perfect match!! The are adorable!!!
Tara your a teacher. You have patients, you listen, you complement every chore
The sight of sawyer Todd across the field from the compost heap with just one welly boot on with not a care in the world was such a precious moment. lol crusoe, sawyer and Obi what a wonderful trio! Much more madcap fun and mischief to come ! You are blessed living such a wonderful life. Enjoy every minute!
Well said. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏🙏❤️
One trick to keep a dog from digging a hole under your chicken gate, is to bury dog poop under the gate and dirt. Just dig a trench about 4 inches deep. Put 3 inches of poop in the trench and about 1 inch of fresh dirt as a topper.
Tara, you are so out numbered by "boy" power ❤ but you are the glue that holds them all together💚🤗🌈🌈 I marvel how you carry on with such good humor and positivity!!👏🤩💙🥰 Wow!! So much progress on the extension and thrilling to see how the olive trees are faring and to hear about future plans🙌🙌🙌
I am very outnumbered but I wouldn't have it any other way Mary! Thanks so much for watching 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
I think you are a good boy mom. You have so much patience. I love watching your lovely family. From South Africa. Centurian
Hilarious how the little one walks with both hands behind his back so cute
So sweet isn’t it Else!
@@TheNewbys I wonder where he got that from certainly not from his father he is always busy lol
@@TheNewbys the other thing I like about your channel is you don’t pretend to do it all on your own
John's woodwork is amazing !
Obi as a border collie will stay close to you his herd if he’s anything like mine! 🌻
I'm not sure that Obi-cam is going to beat Crusoe-cam, but he did try so hard with added ASMR, which is impressive for a lil' pupper! 🐕📷😄|
The new Olive tree arriving is great news, but I think even better is that those poor trees that you rescued from the forest are clearly just so happy to have sunlight once more!
It's amazing how people just tend to think of plants as just green objects, but when it comes to things like those, you can really see how they respond to care and attention as their way of speaking and saying thank you.
*Hugs * to you all! xx
I cannot EVEN with Sawyer walking with his hands behind his back 😂😂 no telling where he picked that up! Regarding the chickpeas, if planting them out this year doesn’t work, you may want to consider starting them in peat pots next year. They can be planted in their pots. So, no root disturbance.
His mannerisms are so sweet aren't they Darrin!
Sawyer walking behind Crusoe mimicking his walk 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so funny.
😂😂
Sawyer is so darn cute walking with hands behind his back. And walking without one boot and not even bothered by it. Such busy boys , country life is the best.
so gorgeous again.love Sawyer copying Crisco. so sweet, and the build is coming along beautifully. the garden looks great, and I especially love All the helpers.xxxx
To spread out your harvests separate your seeds into thirds. plant each third about two weeks apart. Less planting all at once, less harvesting all at once, prolonged fresh produce. Also try peat, manure or even recycled newspaper pots to start seedlings. You can plant the whole thing in the ground without disturbing the roots and the "pots" will decompose adding nutrients while the roots will grow right through as they get stronger.
Omg ,sawyer is a little man. Love his walking with hands behind his back.love your family. So much fun for the boys and obi….❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Just throw more luffa seeds out! They will grow just throw the seeds in the compost! Sweet peas too! They should make it! Love you guys! 😍
Thanks for taking the time to heart ❤️ it really means alot becuz I'm so alone!!!! Most the time!!! So love you guys really love! Feel it sending it!!!!!
He is protecting his family.
HappyPentecost! When all turns green and the HolySpirit comes to us ! You getting that ancient olive tree tells me this was meant to be Gods Will! You are all so blessed!!
Så mycket ni har att göra, odling av grönsaker och blommor, och renovering av huset. Det ni gjorde förra året i odlingen blev så fint. Massor av fina grönsaker och tomater,det blir nog lika bra i år. Så kul att följa rrantrevliga familj,barnen och hunden är så fina.❤
So excited about another video featuring diaplant landscaping! Very excited that Claudio is gifting your farm a beautiful olive tree!!
I have a nice rhubarb sorbet recipe. Cut up 2 cups of rhubarb and cover it with a half cup of suger. Let it sit for a couple of hours and it draws out the water from the rhubarb. Cook rhubarb sugar and water mixture on low heat until it is mushy and starts to thicken. Add 1 Tbsp of lemon juice and additional sugar to taste. Rhubarb can be very tart or slightly sweet so sugar is subjective. Let mixture cool. Once cooled churn in ice cream maker until creamy. The ice cream maker breaks down the rhubarb fibers and makes a lovely creamy sorbet that tastes like it has dairy in it but it does not.
I have spent the last two weeks binge watching all your Portugal escapades I adore your channel. Thank you for making it so much fun.
Thank you Sharon! Your support means so so much to us ❤️❤️
Sawyer with one boot and sock on and one boot and sock missing running through the garden...... What a picture
I think it’s best to move trees in cooler weather. The tree farm will know when it’s the best time to safely move the olive trees
Oh, I’m thrilled to see how the olive trees are thriving. Love landscaping videos, especially transplanting amazing trees. What a beautiful vlog!
Joao (sp?) is going to be such a great partner and Dad with fantastic skills of all kinds. I love watching him with your family. He has a quiet and gentle way about him that I witness in the videos, with tremendous patience and good humor. What a wonderful way to grow into a man. He is teaching you as you all are teaching him. The learning is so fun and productive even when it's hard or the rains come down. Life at the farm. Looks like paradise to me. ❤👱👱♂👨🌾👩🌾🐈⬛👨🔧
ObI Watermelon is soo cute! The boys are so sweet together.
Crusoe definitely is wise beyond his years! And Sawyer is his minimum. John your talents show no ends, love the extension. Tara you are a wonder juggling kids hubby chickens a new pup and planting your new veg patch. I'm tired just watching you.
Thank you for this lovely comment Sue! 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
Sawyer is really showing his beautiful personality ☺️, walking with his hands behind his back took me back to my grandfather's farm and then Sawyer walks into the garden missing one of his boots 😂. Your puppy is a dream and has clearly bonded with the boys. I'm super excited about the olive tree you will be getting to add to your olive orchard ☺️ Great job ☺️💖
The cuteness factor was off the scale before the dog came along. Now it's beyond cute! Great job on the garden and the extension.
We are so happy to hear this Reet and we can't help but agree. Obi has been amazing from day one and we all absolutely adore him! Thanks so much for watching 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
Oh I’m so happy the olive trees are doing well! Can’t wait to see the installation of the big tree! When I look at Sawyer I can’t believe how fast he is getting around… he was just a baby! Such an adorable family! You guys sure work hard every day on so many things. What a beautiful life you have! 😊 Much Love ❤️
as always, a wonderful video indeed...P.S. a shout-out to Joao and John for maneuvering the sliding glass door up those stairs, etc. thank you
Thanks so much!!
I want to share a tip Tara , about seed storage & sorting ! Like a lot of gardener's, we love our seeds. Often forgetting what we have and buy more or don't use them. I recycled some large glass jar with sealed lids, labelled them spring- veg, spring - flowers, autumn- veg, autumn- flowers... you get the drift. And them popped them in accordingly! When it's time to grow , grab a jar and sow! Store them in a cool place away from light. It looks good & works so well 😊 happy gardening ❤
Thanks so much for this friend! Very helpful 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
I have just seen a brilliant idea for your chickens. Farmers are making round cages for their chickens from wire. The chickens are able to forage and walk in safety safe from puppies and foxes and wild dogs. Give it a try.
Hi everyone, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode as usual, I laughed out loud when the camera went down and Obi appeared snuffling around. Just a thought, if you allow Obi to dig holes when it doesn't matter he won't know the difference when it does matter, he is a delight , but he may just be a handful when it comes to the chickens, he looks like an Australian border collie which are bred to round up sheep or anything else that seems to be roaming around, well, cheers to you all!!!🥰🥰😘😘👍👍👍
So glad you enjoyed that moment Frances haha we will see how training Obi goes but hopefully he is a fast learner! ❤️❤️
Crusoe, Sawyer and Obi ❤❤❤ little rascals 😊 three Stooges😁😁😁
Oh my goodness, Sawyer is a little boy now ❤. Crusoe, Sawyer & Obi, so much fun! Beyond fabulous. You are living the best life ❤
He is growing up so quickly friend! Thanks so much for watching 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
those boys will have so much fun growing up with puppy...my daughter adores dogs now that she is grown
👍👍❤️
Siding as well as a sliding door!
Both show the incredible progress you are making!
Cheers to living your dream and working hard to make it all come together. 👍
I saw on a gardening video that rhubarb is quite poisonous--the leaves. You probably already know it, but since you have a puppy and babies, I figured I'd mention it, lol. Fingers crossed Obi doesn't dig up your garden too much! :) Such a cute puppy.
Well things are rocking along in the planting dept. Honestly you have the patience of a saint with the boys while you're trying to plant cause they're into everything I'm sure, and the dog, LOL I can't wait to see when everything starts to grow, so lovely to be able to grow and eat your own fresh produce.
The pup and the boys make me smile thank you 😊
Garden's looking' good! For extra measure, construct a wire cage around your treasured rhubarb. The pup, and perhaps other critters will do some digging before it's had a chance to really set in and grow.
Tara I have had Border collies and chooks happily coexisting for the last 16 years.
Put Obi on a lead and with a pocket full of treats sit in the chook pen and praise him for sitting in there calmly with you. Let the chooks come up to him and see that he is okay.
It will take time.
Thank you for this Tricia ❤️❤️
Puppy just needs to be trained as it’s in his breed to be a herd dog 🙌🥰 the farm is coming along and everything is growing beautifully green 🌱👒 the boys are so happy growing so quickly thanks for sharing everything gorgeous 🙏🐶🐣Karen from The Land Down Under 🇦🇺🐨🦘
The only family i watch on RUclips, you guys just make me smile😊❤
Ah thanks friend ❤️❤️
I cannot wait to see how that gifted olive tree is moved to yours. It is so beautiful. Good things come to good people!!
We can't wait either Valerie! Thanks so much for watching 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
So many great comments I just want to add that you are a joy to watch Such a sweet family and great vibes. Love the puppy addition.
One boot on, one boot off. The stinking cutest thing I’ve seen in a while. Besides that pup of yours. ❤😍❤️😍❤️🥰
❤️❤️
Good job with the garden and your little Obi was such a big helper digging the holes!
😍 The addition is looking good guys!
❤️❤️
Seeing you struggle with bringing the glass doors up to their spot brought back memories of us doing the same. Only to later find out you can remove the heavy double paned glass doors and carry the frame and doors separately. If we had known, it would have been so much easier to do the job. Love seeing your creativity with the new addition to your home.
Thanks Sharon!
I bought three rhubarb plants last year, just the same size as yours, and was told I could fertilize it with chicken manure (slightly aged) and it would be okay "because rhubarb is okay with 'hot' fertilizer". I did. And they grew amazingly! They have come back just slightly larger this year, so I will be using the chicken manure again.
I hope yours does really well for you!
Love watching Obi digging and running around after you all. He is an adorable addition! 😍
"Olive" you guys and the way you live! I suppose many many of us allow ourselves to live vicariously through you perhaps, but only in that we choose to spend an hour watching you do your thing and marvelling at it rather than chilling out with some mindless drivel like a sitcom on tv like we might have done in times past after a hard days work. For my part I am inspired by your work ethic, your character and your parenting, and it makes me want to continue to improve myself, the way I care for my home, my garden, my grandchildren, my neighbors, and yes, my own body. God continue to bless you as you have been both blessed AND a blessing to all those around you and who watch your adventure unfold.
So happy to see the olive trees doing so well.
McCann Dog Training on You tube is someone I so wish I had found when our Australian Shepherds were puppies! highly recommend their videos!
Thanks so much for the suggestion Greta!
What a great video. Busy busy busy. You are so great. The boys and the doggie 🐶❤️. Tara you are quite a gardener 👩🌾. John is such a worker. Joah is a really good neighbor.
Absolutely amazing, just love it.
Greetings from Germany
🙋♀️🌸🌺🌿👩🌾🐶🐓👋
Thank you Christie! 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
I strongly suggest using some wire around the rhubarb to protect it. Murphy a law is that 50 tomato plants won’t be touched, but the single rhubarb you care about will be a magnet for chickens, puppies and kids!
Thanks for the suggestion Jennifer ❤️❤️
between the dog and the chickens good luck might be a bit of a challenge
Content These family videos are full of the best messages to emulate. Mentor to local children, mentor to children, mentor to be a man/woman/family who has multi skills, Mentor to care for the environment and many more. Thank you guys for being one of my favorite social media icons. Greetings from Malaysia.
It is good that you hopefully planted the rhubarb away from the chickens immediate browsing area. If you didn’t know, the leaves of rhubarb are extremely toxic and almost instantly lethal to chickens. The stalks are fine though so just something to be aware of.
Daily life can be really exhausting on a farm.
It's hard work!
But you're looking great. You shine, Tara :-)
Thank you Shirley! ❤️❤️
Good morning Tara, John, Caruso, Sawyer and Obi!
I'm of the opinion you can never have too many tomatoes. They are just so useful! Chickpeas, on the other hand, are only good for hummus. (Slight prejudice)
Sawyer, walking with his hands behind his back, reminds me of my 87 year old uncle who used to walk everywhere the same way. Very cute. Obi is adorable. How did it go with the chickens?
Blessed Be!
Another super Sunday out with the Newbys including their own black and white digger. Gaining such adoration for the ancient olive trees. It’s good to see boys pitching in, learning the ‘ropes’. Digging and “No Digging!” might be a big learning curve though those dogs have great potential for following directions. Joel getting the business from the dynamic duo sounds like brotherly rivalry. You all are blessed and a blessing. Thanks again for sharing the wonderful life.
The dog is so cute he looks like a panda,😊
I can't wait to see you get your wonderful olive tree. What an incredible gift for you, and inheritance for the boys. A fabulous episode people following your lovely family ❤
Thanks Jacqui! We are so excited about it too ❤️❤️
So happy the trees are showing signs of life!
Hahaha I know the seed addiction well! This year I promised I would not buy anymore. I had 6 boxes full of seeds. I must confess I did buy a few Squash seeds as the first lot got eaten by a mouse and so did the peas. I also bought a few flower seeds. My two small greenhouses are overflowing!!!! Why did I do it ???? But...just think of all the beautiful blooms. I loved the way Sawyer walked after Crusoe with his arms behind his back, so very cute. Sending love to all and big kisses for Obi xx
Today's video was so Fun and Productive! Admire all of your Energy!
Tara Such cute little busy boys they are growing so fast.Im in love with Obie he sure loves the boys.Tara your such a loving patient,caring mama.John your so smart and very talented I love how you undertake the most complicated projects.there can never be enough flowers and the beauty of God's creations.Im not sure hoe Joel spells his name he's such a hardworker and I can tell a beautiful personality ,Your so very fortunate to have such fantastic neighbors.keep making your place be your special place for your self and the boys one day they will thank you.❤
You've gotten so many compliments here I have nothing to add. Just don't get too full of yourselves ok? 😂🎉
Btw peas are happier if it's cold- I've planted them using a power drill in frozen soil. Never in a greenhouse, too hot! ❤
Have you thought of growing your chickpeas in bioderadable pots that way the whole pot can go directly into the ground without the roots being disturbed?!
Hei John, you learned from the best about the woodworks, Finns, well done, Tosi siistiä!
I wouldn't worry about getting a late start on planting, most things will soon catch up. One day you won't have lots of other stuff going on ...... give it a hundred years or so 😉
Great news about the new tree. I agree that saying 'no' to a plant really isn't an option (or packets of seeds).
Those three boys (counting Obi) never wear thin. Sawyer with his purposful walk and that moment when there was suddenly a view of the sky - then a puppy nose sniffing (so funny) were the sort of things you don't get anywhere else.
Thanks Ruth! ❤️❤️
Tara please tell Jerome that he is a very nice looking young man and I think it's wonderful how he's helping you guys get everything done I'm sure you are paying him but still it's just an amazing thing for a young person to help makes my heart Happy
We will definitely pass the message on to Joao Kriss, thank you for the kind compliment ❤️❤️
Aww just love the start to the vlog. Sawyer, just so cute walking along with his hands behind his back. What an amazing job you are doing on the farm, Joao is such a great help and he is so good with the boys and Obi. John, the extension is looking fabulous, loving the door. So glad the Olive trees are are starting to show new shoots and how exciting to be gifted one of those beautiful trees, look forward to watching that episode. ❤️xx
Hi I guys oh wow the puppy adorable 🎉❤ luv the olive trees beautiful beautiful episode so much life happening 🎉❤ take enjoy 😉
He is absolutely amazing Parushaa! ❤️❤️
Your puppy is so beautiful, cuteness overload 😍
Have 44 olive trees, they were there when I bought the property. Many have a yellow fungas growing at the outer branches, didnt know what to do with them but now I will cut them back hard as I know I cannot harm them. Thank you for your your excellent video on olives.
I just had a rhubarb and strawberry pie
With a crumbly top just last Thursday...
Absolutely delicious!
My favorite Aunt, that passed away several years ago, would make it when she knew I was coming over after I learned to drive. I always loved visiting with her. She was like a mom to me.
Great memories 😊
Ohh that sounds delicious Rebekah! Sorry to hear about the loss of your Aunt friend but what a wonderful memory ❤️❤️
Hi family, such a great episode. The farm is looking beautiful and your weather is amazing.. May I make a suggestion? Put stickers on your glass doors to avoid anyone walking into the glass, especially at the bottom for your little beans. I stuck beautiful 3 dimensional butterflies on mine and it looks lovely. Sawyer walking with his hands behind his back, just warmed my heavy. Cuteness overload. I'm very very excited to see if and when you get the amazing olive tree 🌳 Looking forward to that episode.❤
Thank you Helen! We appreciate all of your advice and suggestions ❤️❤️
Tara, you have so much more patience than I ever did! Trying to plant a garden with two little boys and a digging dog would send me round the bend and you are so calm and accommodating, I take my hat off to you. 😇
I loved having the support Madeleine ❤️❤️
Thank you an amazing episode.
Sawyer with one boot on really cracked me up, hope you found the other one and Obi didn't burry it 😅
We thankfully did find it Alexandra 😂😂
What great fun two lovely boys and one gorgeous doggy in a beautiful garden with a superb rebuild going on, you don't do things by halves but then that is why you're videos are always interesting and entertaining, all power to your elbows. Rich W Ely UK. ❤
Thanks Rich!
Oh how lovely, you will have the beautiful tree you fell in love with, in pride of place - the middle of the circle!! Hope all that was planted grows well, I am just now starting to plant rooted bulbs, sweetpeas and runner beans, salad plantings will come when it warms up. It is still cold here in central Alberta, Canada. Enjoyed sweet Sawyer proudly ploughing his one booted way across the garden. Obi and Crusoe are bonding well and delightful to watch. The extension is coming on splendidly. I love watching your well thought out and beautifully presented programme. Thank you both.
We can’t wait Elizabeth! It’s going to be beautiful. Hope you’re keeping warm friend. Thanks so much for watching 🧅🥒👩🏼🌾🙏🏼
Tara, you have so much patience with your boys! I fully realize that we don't get to see the tantrums, etc. but golly gosh, you are so patient with your boys- both of you! Respect & love to you all
Hi Newbys. It's been a while since I commented. Been busy in my garden also. We just received 3 chicken, they are 3 weeks old. We are very excited!! Although in researching what chicken can and cannot eat, I came across that rhubarb is toxic to chickens.
No, rhubarb is not good for chickens because its leaves contain oxalic acid, which is toxic to chickens. Oxalic acid can cause jaundice, tremors, increased salivation, and liver damage. Frost-damaged rhubarb may have a higher concentration of oxalic acid, which is especially toxic to chickens. Just a FYI..
I suppose if you plant them where your chickens don't roam, then you should be fine
Ah that is very exciting indeed Desiree! Enjoy every minute with your little chicks ❤️❤️
Thanks for the olive trees update! I’m so happy to hear that they’re doing well! And I’m totally thrilled that you’re getting one of those magnificent really old olive trees!!!
I’m quite certain that Obi will have all of Portugal tilled and ready to be planted soon! 😁😂😁
Pretty close Murial! ❤️❤️
