Dom. I have been watching your channel for quite awhile but this is the first time I have commented. You are such a good mom and teacher. I wish I had a redo button. I had 5 children. We lived on a farm but I never had a garden as big or as cool as yours. I wish I didn’t listen to people telling me I needed a career. I was made to feel inferior for staying home with my children. I went back to school part time when my 4th daughter was 5. Kept going when my son was born just to please other people’s opinions. I wish I would have been strong and told them right where to go. Haha. I would have home schooled like you and tried to live mostly off grid. I am so impressed with you and your family. Your children are so adorable!!! You are so doing the right thing in my old eyes. Ha!
It’s just so cute having three daughters… It’s like youre the leader of your very own girl club. I am second eldest of four sisters. We followed our mom around everywhere as children, even climbed onto her bed when she got in the bed to rest… we gave her absolutely no personal space 😂😂😂
@@faithfamilyhomestead You know, u go girls usually stay close to mama - they bring their hubbies around mama and live near mama. Boys drift away, usually following their wives to her mama. It definitely isn’t always this way, but more often than not, it is. Think to everyone you know and how it is - you’ll see.
:You are going to love your compost bin. You don't have to add worms. They eventually just show up. Every now and then add water to the bin. Just to keep it moist. Also, at times leave the bin doors open to let air in. Don't forget to close at night. If you have soil that is not so good or clay like, put that in the bin too. When the bin fills up. Make a U shaped or three sided square bin to put the rest of your compost materials in to break down, also add water and constantly turn. This will help maintain a constituency of soil mixture throughout your garden. Don't put any compost material in your garden until it has broken down to soil. Maybe down the road you can visit a horse ranch for manure but it has to dry out and mixed with other compost because it can be a bit strong. If the circus is in town. Elephant chips will do just fine. Watch out for chicken poop because like my grand mother used to say. "You done burn up my plants." If you purchase bags of soil. You may want to look into buying a truck load of soil from a garden center because it is cheaper, convenient and won't go to waste. Lastly, if you decide to order a truck load of soil. Get the width measurements of the dump truck. Build a three sided squared wooden bin about four or five feet high and wider that the truck. So when the truck delivers the soil, it just has to dump soil in the bin.
Here's another idea, vita mix your veggie scraps to see if they will break down faster. Last fall I added my juiced veggie scraps to my flowers and shrubs and they seem to be greener this spring. Good to see the girls again, truly valuable learning experience for themand you're such a gentle Mother.
Green beans!!!! Make Leather britches!!!! Perfect project for the little girls to manage through the season and super easy way of preserving long term and getting a wonderful product when you cook them up low and slow with a salty and smoky hunk of meat.
@@faithfamilyhomestead there really isn’t a recipe… It goes back to Appalachia and the old country porches and you’d see these long things hanging from the porches of drying green beans… You should really google it as it’s fascinating… The beauty of it is, green beans don’t all come in at the same time. When you make leather britches, you get a long piece of thin string, and keep adding green beans as you harvest them and hang them out of the sun, where there’s coolness and air movement. They will change in color as they dry, but don’t be put off by this… It was a treat to cook them up in the south and they did that at the holidays.
Hello there FAITH FAMILY , it is wonderful to see all of you. You guys are a great looking family . It is so so Good to see you all looking so well and Healthy. Your title is FAITH FAMILY and I really ,really LOVE seeing the whole family . When I last saw Dom ,she (you) was wearing a very beautiful dress . You guys looked so beautiful . Remember what was said by Rev. Dr. Charles Stanley that his Mom always told him " ALWAYS LOOK YOUR BEST , ACT YOUR BEST DO BEST , AND BE YOUR BEST . I heard Rev. Dr. Charles Stanley say that when I was 20 years old . I will be 60 years old this month and I have raised 3 sons and I have always taught my sons the ways of the Bible and none has ever been arrested or sent to jail. Teaching children TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE AND BIBLE STUDIES is the best life for all. ASKING GOD TO BLESS EVERYONE ❤😅
❤🌱🫛🥒 you just reminded me I need to start my pickling for Fourth of July 💜I can't remember how your set up is for your chick 🐔one side I did topsoil plain cheap I put their feed and water and the other side shavings. I can't wait to do it again it's too hot here in Florida to start chicks but the soil was so amazing for the new seed starts I started. I made a rack to hold up the water and feed out of the mesh wire and framed it out so I can move it into certain areas of the topsoil I used to kidd pool this past fall. I may start doing that for the rabbit cages too
You can try cucumber and ginger juice or cucumber and celery juice it’s pretty good when very chilled I have found that using honey or sugar really alters the flavor but blue agave does not…. I sweeten for kiddos to drink…❤❤❤
Awesome produce. I don't think you are that far from me, but how did you get your cucumber and squash so soon. I did have carrots and lettuce that grew over the winter but they were bitter. Tfs
Great job! Teamwork makes the dream work🎉🎉🎉
Yesss

Great tip! I'll have to try that next time
This is awesome! I definitely want to get into canning once I have a bigger garden.
Go for it!

Have you tried cucumber bread? It's awesome
I haven't but will now try!
Awesome produce. I don't think you are that far from me, but how did you get your cucumber and squash so soon. I did have carrots and lettuce that grew over the winter but they were bitter. Tfs
I transplanted my cucumbers and squash and started them I think 4 weeks before our last frost
@@faithfamilyhomestead Thank you. I'm in middle SC and we've had a lot of ran, but I need some sun for my plants right now.
I would have figured most of your food scraps would go to the chickens
Most of my scraps go to my pigs, but I've been trying to spread some out to make compost to fix some of my beds
@@faithfamilyhomestead that makes sense
❤❤❤
❤
BOUNTIFUL HARVEST IN JESUS NAME ❤ LOVE U ALL MY FAMILY IN CHRIST
Awesome job preserving all those veggies!!🥕🥒🧅 Question: Did you put salt and pickle crisp in the jar of beans?
I put salt in them hut not pickle crisp
