Once again, an informative yet personable reel highlighting all the facets of gardening prep and planting. Love seeing all the children in their various roles in getting the whole job done. Loved seeing Anna Mae and Abigail work diligently in gathering forage for the goats and out of the blue little Rebekah makes an appearance. Whenever I watch a video of your family, my heart and soul are lavished with gratitude for these children. With all the pieces of my heart, ❤️ Mary Ann
My grandma use to put egg shells, coffee grounds, heads of fish, banana peels,etc in her garden then turn the soil over for fertilizer.The garden was in her back yard in Illinois.She grew,green onions, tomato, green beans,corn, cabbage,beets,gords.I loved as a little girl to take a salt shaker and eat tomatoes. Cindy M.
My grandma used to keep a quart mason jar full of water for watering her indoor house plants that she had put eggs shells in, also. And she always had beautiful house plants. Everyone always just bragged and bragged about her Christmas cacti. ❤
Glad I got to see you plant the garlic from the meet and greet :) I hope it does well for you. This kind I gave you has a really good flavor and holds up well without resprouting. Can't wait to compare notes at harvest :) (Kate B.)
I just love how everyone helps where needed. And meat is my favorite thing to can. I've had a busy indoor day today. From laundry to making cookies, now to do my January budget. Then supper......its been a productive day.
You all are so industrious! That was a lot of work but it will be so worth it !! I can’t wait to see the garlic all grown in Spring/Summer and incredibly it already has some growth. .I’m been planning on growing garlic too . Sarah and David did a great job filming while working. A Special thank you to Sarah for the how to plant garlic and tips about garlic. I love ducks too . 🦆in a row..
Yes Tammy, Bear is an old dog, but he's still a very valuable member of our homestead. He shuffles around a lot, but when he feels compelled to scare off a predator, he can really scoot! :)
Your children are hard workers....they amaze me . Kids of today won't do half of what your children do...Sarah your very noligiable...Andrew works hard and always has his hand in something ...God Bless you all ❤
I have found with onions and garlic if I put down the black woven weed fabric down then burn holes to put each clove in that way I do not have near the weed pressure and they grow bigger.
They are so cute. Aww it was so lovely hearing them. I could happily spend all day out there in your beautiful garden with the amazing nature ❤❤ xxx its made my weekend watching you all. My special friends xxx
we need to move out of the suburbs and dont know the first thing about what would be a good area. we will be retired when we move so trying to do a lot of research.
Hi Janice I had no idea that goats like weeds they are so cute. What is the Temp it looks like it's still warm enough you don't need heavy coats. ???????
Dear Ozark family, I hope you are doing well. I loved your video. I need prayers. I have severe migraine. More than 15 days a months since many months and since the 16th of November I haven't had a day without it. I live practically in the dark, because of the light sensibility. Because it is so severe I will get more than 30 Botox injections tomorrow morning. Please pray that I can bare the pain of the injections and the it will help. Thank you so much. 🥰
Janice..You have awesome hard working children, amazing all they do! What I don’t see is any of them having playtime.!!! Would b nice to see that!! Seems ur always just videoing, telling them what to do……I’ve been watching ur channel for awhile now and all I’ve seen is Sara doing all the cooking, baking etc.! Maybe she could video instead sometimes or…. U could prop the camera up and show us more of u doing things.. Thank u…..
Well, Glenna, you should probably watch more of our videos then because there are plenty showing my children having playtime! You'll be able to see them having fun on our farm and even a little bit of them playing with friends that didn't mind being on film. Also, please realize that you see a small fraction of our lives. You will never see all the work I do nor all the playtime the children have. We pick and choose the parts that we choose to share with the public. I can assure you that my children have a healthy balance of work and play and I am working constantly...to the point that I am rarely in bed before midnight. Running a homestead, raising seven children, homeschooling them, keeping our household running, coordinating community groups, and managing a very busy RUclips channel is plenty to keep me constantly busy!!! Thanks for watching!
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead Thank you Janice for ur reply… No doubt it’s a big job keeping a large household going! I am watching videos but not in sequence as trying to catch up so I’m sure I will see more of all the children’s daily activities! 🙂
Do the ducks just automatically put themselves back in their pen each evening??? Did you have to train them to do that? Do the chickens do the same thing?
Hey Krista! When our chickens are little and just big enough to move from a brooder with a heat lamp to the official chicken coop, we actually lock them up inside the coop for about 3 solid days. This seems to implant in their mind that the coop is "home." After those 3 days, we allow them to free-range with the rest of the flock. Some of them automatically return home every evening and others have to be physically returned to home each night for a while, but they do all eventually get it! Ducks, on the other hand, just seem to be better about knowing where home is. We have not locked them up for 3 days like we do the chickens, but the ducks still know where home is supposed to be. :)
Personally, I don't notice a difference, Lori. One just stores for a longer time than the other. I like to diversify our gardens just in case one type ends up being an utter failure, then we still have another type growing! :)
Won't the compost that want done yet with the dryer flowers and all the other weeds in it cause more weeds to grow back next spring and why put the dog hair in the planter box ?
I believe it’s to last them a year for cooking until the next harvest. Most homesteaders or people who have a garden space big enough to do that, often does so
Sarah please explain to me, What is water kiefer? What is it used for? & How do you make it? Do you already have a video for that? If not , would you Please, Please make one?🙏🙏🙏❤ Love your channel & your family!¡
Hey Lisa! We actually already had a little bit of the garden mesh before, so that's some of our old stuff. We now have a whole bunch from you and it will be VERY useful, especially when we get the new greenhouse put up! :) Thanks for being so good to us!
You must budget much differently than me then! I can assure you that it doesn't take me all day, but it certainly takes me MUCH longer than 5 minutes! It took extra long that day because I had already skipped one week's worth of updates.
Wow, that was kind of rude! Many families have limited funds to cover many and more complicated bills, responsibilities, and needed projects than you apparently have. Be happy that your finances seem to be more simple and please try not to be insulting or judgmental to others.
Man, Andrew puts some strength behind that hoe. You don't realize how strong these young guys are until you start getting older! Lol Beautiful job Sarah and David! Does Bear just stay on your place and not roam? We had a pyrenees also and she never left our place, but so many people say they can't keep theirs home. Has he been neutered or are you guys planning to have puppies someday? I love how tough Rebekah already is! If she falls or gets a cut, ask her how she is and it's always, "I okay!"
do you have a airport by you or army base near you ?? Sarah got top braces off ?? thats a lot of work to do for garlic but then end will come out great hugsssssss
Nope, I'm not sure why we had so much air traffic overhead that day., Tammy We're not near any sort of airport or army base. Also, Sarah does still have her top and bottom braces on. It must've just been the camera angle that made it look different. We're anticipating that she'll still have them on for quite a while yet. :)
Sarah is an amazing young lady. She is a leader and so sweet and helpful. Great video.
The reason your goats are not eating your grass is because they aren't a grazing animal. They are foragers and prefer to eat above their heads. 😊
They preference to eat overhead, but they certainly will clean a field of grass if they don’t have any overhead vegetation left.
@debrasnipes7431 yes, if they don't have proper browse.
What an amazing group of hard working young ones! Huge pats on the backs.. Your parents have to be proud of you!

Omg David had me rolling recording Sarah 😂
Your kids work so hard I'm proud of them God bless them you have great kids wish more kids were like them you are truly bless ❤
Hey yall, I learned a lot. I Love seeing the kids involved and having fun.
.I Love the animals also.😊❤🙏

Never seen a garden prepared like that before. Wait for spring.
Loved watching videos

Bear looks kinda old he looks happy tho lol hugssssss
Yes Tammy, Bear is an old dog, but he's still a very valuable member of our homestead. He shuffles around a lot, but when he feels compelled to scare off a predator, he can really scoot! :)
I enjoyed seeing how to plant the garlic Plus David your such a Ham😊 God Bless You all
Hello everyone ❤
Enjoyed the vlog, David looked so much like Abigail when he made the sulky face 😊
So nice to see the kids pitching in together to help get the beds ready for garlic
Your children are hard workers....they amaze me . Kids of today won't do half of what your children do...Sarah your very noligiable...Andrew works hard and always has his hand in something ...God Bless you all ❤
Thank you so much for always being so kind and encouraging to our family! :)
I have found with onions and garlic if I put down the black woven weed fabric down then burn holes to put each clove in that way I do not have near the weed pressure and they grow bigger.
Your children are so hardworking (as are you and Shawn) its lovely to see xx
The kids can do anything it’s wonderful to see them enjoying as they work
Hi good to see you! What time of year did you start this? I have been inspired. Thank you
Cathey, we typically plant our garlic out in November, so you still have time! :)
❤❤
Great episode! Good job !
They are so cute. Aww it was so lovely hearing them. I could happily spend all day out there in your beautiful garden with the amazing nature ❤❤ xxx its made my weekend watching you all. My special friends xxx
I find it interesting watching garlic prep.
What do you do with the goats long term? Seems like you're getting quite a few. Just curious
we need to move out of the suburbs and dont know the first thing about what would be a good area. we will be retired when we move so trying to do a lot of research.
Best video. You are living so close to nature 👏👏👏
I’m learning so much from y’all’s channel! Thumbs up!
Wow! The children did an awesome job!
It looks like the trees are changing color if reminds me of Michigan. Is it hard to plant Garlic ?????. Will garlic grow if I plant it indoors ???????
Hi Janice I had no idea that goats like weeds they are so cute. What is the Temp it looks like it's still warm enough you don't need heavy coats. ???????
I live fairly close and it's been almost in the 60's the past 2 days.
Fun family project! You’ve inspired me to try to grow my own garlic😊
Thanks for this great video!
do you or have you ever had serious tornadoes go thru your area? specifically not generally.
Do you folks get cold temp.
Dear Ozark family,
I hope you are doing well. I loved your video.
I need prayers. I have severe migraine. More than 15 days a months since many months and since the 16th of November I haven't had a day without it. I live practically in the dark, because of the light sensibility. Because it is so severe I will get more than 30 Botox injections tomorrow morning. Please pray that I can bare the pain of the injections and the it will help.
Thank you so much. 🥰
I am praying for you
@@LoveSnoopy726 Thank you. 😀
Praying for you!
Prayers for you ❤

also can i ask, how do you keep wild animals off your property? besides deer, do you have any dangerous animals like bears?
Do the ducks just automatically put themselves back in their pen each evening??? Did you have to train them to do that? Do the chickens do the same thing?
Hey Krista! When our chickens are little and just big enough to move from a brooder with a heat lamp to the official chicken coop, we actually lock them up inside the coop for about 3 solid days.

I think you’ll be happy with your new bed! It looks great. I hope the garlic likes it too.
Love love love my garlic😊❤
Do hard neck and soft neck taste differently?
Personally, I don't notice a difference, Lori. One just stores for a longer time than the other. I like to diversify our gardens just in case one type ends up being an utter failure, then we still have another type growing! :)
Won't the compost that want done yet with the dryer flowers and all the other weeds in it cause more weeds to grow back next spring and why put the dog hair in the planter box ?
A lot of work . Great job
Good luck!
Good luck with the garlic planting. Y'all need gloves to protect your hands 😢 love all the videos.
I am so enjoying your family videos. I was wondering if you had done a video on and about Sara and her water kefir?
Sarah, please do a tutorial on how to braid the soft neck garlic!!
Hit the wrong button. Sorry.
why so many? do you sell them?
I believe it’s to last them a year for cooking until the next harvest. Most homesteaders or people who have a garden space big enough to do that, often does so
🐐 happy to get a anack😅.
Sarah please explain to me, What is water kiefer? What is it used for? & How do you make it? Do you already have a video for that? If not , would you Please, Please make one?🙏🙏🙏❤ Love your channel & your family!¡
You should use those weeds for compost
That would work, but then the goats wouldn't be as happy!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video, very informative! Do I see some of that garden mesh over plants out back of the raised bed? That got put up fast!
Hey Lisa! We actually already had a little bit of the garden mesh before, so that's some of our old stuff. We now have a whole bunch from you and it will be VERY useful, especially when we get the new greenhouse put up! :) Thanks for being so good to us!
@@ozarkfamilyhomestead I wonder if you can use the garden mesh in the garlic bed, seeing you said what you are using now is getting rickety.
Everywhere I tried to buy garlic, about 6 weeks ago were already sold out. 😢
Hey Janice..have you ever made cream cheese homemade?
It takes 5 minutes to do a budget . How is that all day.
You must budget much differently than me then! I can assure you that it doesn't take me all day, but it certainly takes me MUCH longer than 5 minutes! It took extra long that day because I had already skipped one week's worth of updates.

That was awesome! I did a similar set up with a garden of mine this year. Cant wait to see the harvest next year! 🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄
