    I can't believe anyone is complaining about what you do. Every video, and I mean every one of them, shows your commitment to responsible homesteading and the care of your land and animals. Your hard work is evident as is your joy in sharing the ups and downs of farming. I love watching your videos and reading your newsletter. Thank you.

      Seriously, folks: IF they wanted to deceive you (which is SO in their nature 🙄), you think, in addition to being dishonest, that they would be stupid enough to use wholesaler’s boxes to store them? Nice to know that you think they’re deceitful AND stupid!

    I was surprised that some people would accuse you of not growing the crops yourself just because you save and use produce boxes!! Those same boxes are used at most farmers markets, U Picks, and vegetable stands!! The harvest looks great!! Those plants are loving the greenhouse and the well water (plants don't do quite as well with city water)!!

    You are dear sweet people to me I've been watching for awhile. You now live in the south, well kinda and we call them ( tomatoes)maters, taters (potatoes) nanners (bananas).I did a study on the southern accent and vernacular and surprisingly it comes from the British aristocracy mixed with the French and different tribes of Native Americans that became very friendly with the whites that settled in the south. Most of the Irish settled in the upper parts of the country but some of the Irish adventure seekers went south . People who weren't born and raised in the southern states tend to think we are lazy, they are so wrong in most cases. They've prejudged before they have spent time with us, God is so good that He only can judge righteously. God bless and keep y'all 😊
