“Save your drama for your mama!” That’s a new t-shirt right there.

The kids...LOL

Jason is the Rainman of homesteaders!

Those pigs are the cutest animals

"THE KIDS"😂❤

Jason thank you for your music selections. Calming and not irritating!

The farm looks great as you get her ready for winter's slumber.

"The kids" 🤣 Lovely moment. That's a lot of hose! Great the system is working! Glimpse of amazing sunlight on your hill as you served up soup.

Beautiful looking broth.

Those pigs are hilarious! lol

the Kune's are the star of the show love them so much they are such good pigs

Just admit it, you love the pigs. A long way from when you first got them 😅 ❤ it.

Hey Jason and Lorraine. You might consider getting and raising Orloff chickens. They don't lay much during the summer when other varieties are pumping them out, but go into egg production when it gets cold and dark early. I like having a few Russian varieties in my flock as well. I really don't like using artificial light to keep regular chickens laying.

I love pickled dark red beets! Yum

Put some compost or manure in those raised beds before you cover with cardboard . They will he ready to plant in the spring.

I been watching this lovely little family for many years now and I’ve enjoyed every moment. I may miss a few months but then I always come back and catch up looking fantastic 😊

The little red piglet with the curl in it's hair, looks a bit like a Tamworth.

Your dream of water hydrants has come to pass. You've been working hard!

thanks for the video. interesting watching the "naughty" pigs go after the scraps. good to see the rain catchers working. have a great week.

Our whole property is on a slope, now I’m wondering if we do something like your water shed if it might have enough pressure further down line to water a food forest and or fill animal waters 🤔

🐷 You can call them your kids, Jason! 😁 We know you love them! 😍

The water catching is Way cool, Jason!

Great to hear your getting some rain water in the big tank.

You are living the dream Jason ❤

Love seeing your daughter out there with you guys. What a wholesome life you guys are giving her. Well done. Hope Lorraine, your parents are doing well. Yours too Jason. I live my farm life vicariously through you all, so thank you!

Lorraine is an awesome cook and I'm sure she will make good use of the beets. 🤗 The broth with the added pepper sounds good. I made homemade bone broth yesterday but I never thought of adding the pepper. I love your farm. You're building a beautiful homestead. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Jason, you should maybe mount a hose reel on your farm truck,

Wow, you did not have any pig drama in a long time!

It is nice to hear laughter!

Great successes; thanks for sharing! Great family building a beautiful homestead! Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦

Naughty pigs lol

Oh beets are so good. So fantastic that your water collection system is working well. 💞

It’s been a little while since I’ve watched a film… and I can see the vegetation is cranking… your efforts with the cows and pigs are starting to make the biology of the homestead work!

Those tiny beets are great for pickling. 😋

Love your vids. Your KIDS aka the KuneKune's are the cutest little butterballs. Just adorable. Good job saving water! I kno they dont think they could hav a drought, but it can happen

I love watching your family work together.

With your mad building skills, you should make a few hose reals out of wood for the hoses. Storing and using with ease. I know you can do this cheap too

My beets look even smaller than yours. I accidently grew a few nice ones last year and this tried to do more but they were overshadowed by squash and beans so not sure how big they will get. Hoping the frost holds off until my beans are mature. Your garden looks great.

Love seeing your success with water. You are inspiring ❤

🏆 on your rain saving!!!

Im so impressed you guys Warhol the watering system and teamwork . Lorraine you need to make a cookbook sister

Quick tip. If you straighten out the hose it wraps up easier and neater

Outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Love 💕 watching Your growing channel Pete cape town south Africa looking forward to seeing you soon

T-Shirt idea “Hey Kids” !!! With the piggies 🐷 on it ❤

Your place is looking so great.

Love the baby pigs.

beets are great i make them pickled or bake them hugss

I agree with you. Having the hose out and all across the yard to water the trees and garden is a major headache and backache for me to move and for my husband to have to move to mow. God bless y'all and keep growing. WOW, I see you are fighting with Bermuda grass in your garden, too!

Pig will always follow the bucket.

We run a wire inside the the fence so they hit that before they get to the fence.

Hi, my concern is the adhesive used in the cardboard. When it breaks down, the chemicals leach into the soil. I have not done the research yet. Many people use card board in many garden applications. Thank you for the video. Much success to you all.

It's cool there's one person with an artist's eye for color in your family

If you want to find the level of water in the tank attach a piece of clear hose to the outlet and hold it up at the top outside of the tank and it will find the natural level. You will then know how much is in the tank. From Neil in the UK.

Beet leaves are my favourite green. Nice job.

Yummy.. enough for some jars of pickled beets. Pickled with caraway seeds. You need to make that !! So good with liver pate, head cheese and other Christmas meat on sandwiches and as a side with pork roast !

Yall should try yalls hand at making biochar!!! Its a process but I know yall could simplify it but it would help the garden and raised beds tremendously and it provides for years and years.

Thanks for sharing your personal farming experiences with us all.

I love the gold beets, those are so good roasted in the oven.

This looks like Bermuda grass growing in the beet bed. I am in N TX and you can't kill it. At all! No amount of cardboard will kill this. I recommend that you remove the dirt. then put 3 layers of weed fabric under it and then replace the dirt with completely new dirt.

I love your channel, thank you for sharing your time.

The way you roll up your hoses drives my OCD CRAZY!!! lol

Mmmm grilled beets!!!!

I have 2 water tanks like that. Knock down the side, the sound changes where the water level is. I can tell when the sound change where the water level in tank is.

Have y'all heard of water glassing your eggs? I've just found out about it. Much love to y'all 👍💛🙏

Hey Guys I grew fabulous Beets ONCE & then it was downhill from there but I keep trying so don't give up Lorraine. Jason your water saving tips are helping me big time. 🥰

Jason you are like me rolling up hoses,I told my husband that they just don’t fit my hands . I think he must of been a fireman in a past life.

Hey! I found your Chanel a couple of weeks ago and I need to say I looove it! I think I’ve watched all videos from when you moved to this new land and I enjoy it so much, keep up with all of your amazing work 🌟

Fun n games on Sow the Land

Roof area square footage X amount of rain in inches X .623 = the amount of collected rainwater. I figure out how much each roof collects with 1” and then it’s easier to keep track. Also just knock on the tank - you can tell where the water level is by sound.

A Way To tell what level the water is at in your tank is: "knock, knock" your knuckles on the side of the tank, starting at the bottom. Listen carefully, knocking a little higher each time. You should be able to tell when you are past the waterline, as the sound will change to a hollow and echoing sound, compared to the flatter sound that it makes when you knock under the water level. (Also, depending on the air temperature, sometimes after a cold night, or in the heat of the day, the side of the tank feels colder/hotter, when you put your palm on it, below and above the waterline). 💜💙💚💫

sweet ferment those beets that are small. so good

Jason have you thought about building berms and swales as well as the ponds you are considering? Then planting beneficial trees in line with them.

Save your drama for you're momma. Funny stuff

Lorraine I love your kitchen 😊

Hey 👋 rain 🌧️🌧️🎉 cool beet hey pig's

I am a city girl, but I was raised on a dry land farm. I so enjoy your videos and all 3 of you. Penelope is beautiful!! Just wanted to say keep up the good work. It is very interesting to follow you and your homestead!!

No amount of cardboard will eliminate that Bermuda grass! Maybe if you put down cement under the beds it would stop it from growing up from the bottom. I have dug sweet potatoes that the pointed end of the rhizome has grown straight through the huge potato!!

I seen aother person said they chickens stop laying she was giving them beans and table scraps to build up more protein. Do your own research .Nice harvest you have beets.

its molting time for the hens soles eggs:)

Six feet pipe in places to shock them. They will remember. Grass is longer and wire not able to do it alone. Or

Y'all just work your ass's off . God Love Y'all. Its fall. I love it. Yeahhhhhhh

ABOUT THE EGGS. I live in Iowa and have about 30 chickens. I am still getting about 15 eggs a day. This is partially due to the fact that I have 3 roosters and for sure about 7 older girls (at least 3 years old). So, what I am saying is I don’t think it is the season of fall that is slowing your egg production so much. I do not have any special lights or set up for my chickens. Just wanted to share that maybe look into other reasons for the slow down of eggs.

Why don’t you get a outlet of truck metal wheel rims and use them to store your noses Mounted on a metal frame with a handle to make the job of retrieving your hoses easier ! ☘️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

When you train animals to a bucket every time they get out, this encourages them to do it again so that they can get fed again! Permissive parenting with no consequences for being BAD! They have tiny feet and when the soil is dry there’s not enough conductivity and they don’t get zapped. You should have a two foot high woven wire 4x4 openings fence with a single metal hot wire along the top and a stand-off wire along the bottom. Fencing is a lot more complicated than what you’re led to believe. Winter is the same situation in regards to conductivity as dry season. Raising cattle is simple comparatively. They have big feet and get zapped more easily. We used two hot wires and if trained properly before releasing them into the pasture, we had few issues. Fallen trees/limbs were the biggest problem, especially during wind storms.

I enjoy beet tops as much as the beet boiled they taste similar to swiss chard , i plant thick rows and then thin them out depending on variety some geve more tops than others i keep harvesting outer leaves as they grow and keep soil loose and moist so beets grow bigger. Great job on rain collection as well.

"I don't trust no pig!" 😉👌😎👍✝️💜🙏🕯️

I was getting anxiety watching you wrap that hose up😂😂😂

Get a hose portable for moving. Your can make a wooden cranking one on the back of cart, then store on it, wheels, ye. Kiss. makes some for each one and even covers for winter.

Pigs on the run! Lorraine, my beets were small this year too. I was able to make one quart of pickled beets. That's it!

Great Vlog, very happy family. Lorraine definitely brings another dimension to the vlogs

They growing and need more food 😂

Dang what a view out your dining room window 😊 👍 yep water 💦 very cool set up you have 👍

I understand the Water , I m on "Well" & Septic and our power was off part of the day yesterday. Good I have 45 gal rain barrels full .

🤣🤣yes! The kids!!

y'all know the connection between laying and length of light, right? In commercial egg factories they keep the light long enough every day so the chickenz lay the max their whole life--it's more natural for them to get a winter break though

Do the white beets taste like the red beets? Thanks for this video of putting the garden to bed. Y'all have a Blessed day.

Howdy I applaud your water collection I live in New Mexico and collecting water for some of us here is a way of life a resource on water collection in water use are some books by a man named Brad Lancaster from Tucson Arizona he's worth a glance they're more like pamphlets anyway have a great day great videos keep it up

Remember that scene on the movie Snatch (with brad Pitt and Jason Statham) and the London gangster goes “as greedy as a pig”!! Yeah they be greedy!

I always cover my raised beds with tarps for the winter and it makes the best soil! Of course you need to amend every year as well. As far as your well goes, as you improve your land and add swales, you might raise the water level underground and help your well perform better. That would be interesting to see. 🤔
