      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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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 👋

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!!!🥰🥰😘😘👍👍👍

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 ❤

    Two tips related to pup & garden: when you work with your bare hands they can sense your smell and, it seams, they think that you have buried some food - as they would do - so they go looking for it - so work with gloves whenever you can! Other tip: use some sticks from nearby bushes and just poke them around freshly planted thing - in a week or so pup is going to get used to it and you can remove sticks and use them elsewhere. But still, be aware that sometimes it just cannot be helped. Our pup, giant Schnautcer, chewed 5 nicely grown cycads... and than garden service finished them completely.. since they couldn't see them anymore..

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.

    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

    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.

    Always fun videos. Doing such a great job. We had border collies. Keeping them exhausted is the best training. They like to herd so right away introduce to the chickens while on a leash so you have control. Also the digging is so cute but be prepared he will chew and dig up all your plants so I would discipline right away about the digging and set boundaries. They are the smartest dogs and want to learn. The perfect dog for the boys ❤.
    Also for a future idea especially with boys and bike rides, I trained one of ours on a leash to run along side my ebike. I started by just pushing the bike while taking her on a walk to get used to the tire movement. It was so much fun to go in rides and have her running along side the bike, plus it pooped her out when I had a busy day and couldn’t spend as much time on a normal walk. 💙💙💙

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.❤
