Straw | Dangerous in the Garden! Got this Instead

What are you looking for, honey? Cucumbers. Look, are these new? Are these new?

This is a new batch that I started.

Nice one. Getting you to stay with us. First up, getting this organic straw closer to where it needs to go. We're gonna go put it in the shed. Yesterday we hired Arun to go pick this up. Had to go all the way to Greensboro. That's like 3 hours from— to get organic straw. You don't want to use regular straw because it's got a lot of pesticides in it. You just don't want to do that to your garden. It can be bad news. We're also going to use it to throw seed down behind the pigs so that we don't have to use our edible hay. You guys got snacks? Yeah. Oh good. Lily, look, you look so pretty in your dress. I love it. You've combed your hair. You look so nice. I'm fortunate to have you, you know that? You know that? Oh. Dream team right there. All right, I think we gotta do something a little different today if you guys are all right with it. Yeah, there are so many little things, like the animals need minerals, there's a water line broke. Oh wow, turn it down. Okay, they turned it down. There's a water line broke, uh The mineral feeder needs fixed. Grass need— or grass needs to be sown behind the pigs. Do you guys think you can work on the chores and I'll go do all these little things?

If you can do the decks, we'll catch up.

I don't know.

Okay, fine.

You'll do those too? I'm down. Okay, cool. Knock it out. Sally? Oh no, I don't think you guys need Sally, but I'm gonna need her desperately. Pig. I'll do the pigs. Okay, because I'm gonna go over there to throw that seed and fix the water line, so I'll do the pigs. If you do the pigs— oh well, we— you'll need help doing— or can you move the fat hens? Yeah, we can do those. Yeah, it's just pulling across now.

We use the mower.

If you— do you really need to? Oh, but they're right there though. Remember, we already pulled it straight up. You just carry the nets over. One at a time.

There's only two there.

Oh, there is? Yeah, but you pick up from the chick where the chickens were, and that there's only going to be two in a 50-footer.

There's only 250 feet from there.

Rebecca's going with it. You going with it? You're going with it. Okay. Hey, y'all get in. Y'all get Nice. How heavy are they, Josiah? Can you pick them up? Yeah, let's move that boat somewhere right here. We'll start stacking our straw here, and depending on when we're getting done with our other shed, we might have to put hay in here too. So we'll do straw there. Hay in the other area. Hey, come on kids, we'll come back. We gotta go get pallets. Look at this, man. You vlogging today, Benjamin? I'm like a baby Justin Rhodes. Am I in the— am I in your vlog? Uh, not yet. Let me do that. Oh, there you go. Now you're in. Okay, I'm in your vlog. He is. You're in my vlog. Oh, let's get down. I'm sorry, Rebecca, we're gonna get a room pallets first.

Oh, okay.

Let's use Sally for that. I'm so sorry, Sally is gonna have like 8 different jobs today. Sorry, she's gonna be all over the place. We're gonna be wondering why we don't have a four-wheeler also.

You were gonna buy one last week. Yeah, that was on the to-do list.

It's on the to-do list, we're just too busy this week.

I'm gonna walk up and look at pillows.

Okay. You think that'll be enough, Arun? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 pallets. Did you go check on Aunt Phyllis? She had her cat. She's just laying there. You tired?

Chewing her cud.

Yeah.

And she was—

I mean, if she had the baby in the middle of the night and she's already laying down, we'll— I'll go closer when I get Sally.

Oh yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna go up there. We gotta go up there. We gotta take the boys' nets. Scoot over, Teddy. Are you surprised? I wanted a seat. Get in. What's here? Oh, there they are. They're hiding. I think you got some helpers unloading this straw, Arun. Good job, Josiah, picking it up, my man. You guys are doing it right. You're stacking it up sideways so it can air out a little bit better, and then put one bale that way. Oh, look at this guy. What?

Yeah, look, grab the string.

Nice. You guys got this. Mom and I got all kinds of little tidbits of chores to do, so come find us when you're done. Now we need to go get Jonah and Benjamin some nets.

And should we get the water supply?

We'll come back because the nets are up there, the water stuff's way out there. Here's some nets for them. I don't want them to have to carry them up the hill, so let's load them for them.

Where am I going? Just up the access?

Yeah, go straight up through here. The cows are up there. Thank goodness for Benjamin this week. What'd you say? All right, let's check on Phyllis while we're out here. Hey, don't, don't make her get up though. Let her rest. Oh, you're thinking she's in labor right there? Yeah, she's, she's not breathing hard. She's, she's just chilling.

Out with the herd. I don't think she's in there.

All right, we're going to leave her be. No, Teddy, come on. All right, so we'll go get supplies for fixing the water line, feeding the pigs, seeding. I think that's all we need over there. Grab that bucket. Yeah. Do you want to water your plants while I find everything?

I already watered them.

Oh boy. Okay, you can maybe help me find then the Pig scraps. All right, let's get our little fixing this. It should not take long, especially since I'm actually finding everything because it's where I left it. Here we go. How's the dream team doing? Knocking it out. There's no water down there. Sure. Oh, that's— shoot, that's because our water line is busted right here for right now. I ordered the parts. Should be here. I ordered 2-day Express.

I know we can do it for that.

What?

I have a hose going back there, so I don't get water. We can just get one of that ends and hook it to that. Yeah, sure.

Okay, go ahead, my man. You problem solving. That's a good idea because our hydrant, I don't know, it just stopped working. We ordered a kit, but it constantly feeds our— that's our water source for our ducks and luchadors. Jona has rigged a water line to our other hydrant, which will work. We got plenty of hose right back for temporary. It's a good idea. That's a good idea. Hook the supply line to our four-way and we've basically got our water back over here. It's a genius right here. Hey, where's y'all's mother?

I have no idea.

All right, we got our supplies for fixing the water line. We got our milk or our feed for our pigs. Oh, we won't leave her.

We'll go back Pick her up.

Gideon, you coming? We found Mom. Now we gotta get Gideon. Good for, uh, good for the exercise. Teddy's running. He's getting a little overweight anyway.

That's all right, you get some exercise.

Yeah, come on, get up front.

You got to sit in the seat anyway, honey. We're at the pigs, but we do need to feed them first before they get jumping out. This is so dirty. Okay guys, stop nudging me. I'm gonna get you your food. We need to take this back, wash it, bring new pan every day and take an old pan back. We gotta get in that habit again. Wait, Rebecca, I was gonna maybe rake it first. Yep, I brought a rake. I'll rake it and you guys go behind me sow seed and then we'll throw down straw.

Good work, guys!

Are you gonna come sit down with us, Gideon? Come on. Good work, everybody! We did it. Next project, and I feel like we need to do it before we get in before we milk, 15 minutes. Hey, the problem is we've got to turn their water off, and I think they're wanting to use it. So let's just turn it off real quick and run out there real quick, huh? And hope we don't get yelled at. Look, they got the sheep over. It's beautiful. Let's turn their water off for a second. Hopefully there's no yelling. All right, let's hurry. I don't hear any yelling. You hear any yelling? Yeah, the leak's right here. You can hear it squealing. Still some water in the line, I reckon. All right, there it is, there it is. Could you put your finger on that, Gideon? Yeah, put your finger on that right there. There it is. All right, so we're going to cut on either side of the hole, and this, this line's already taut, so I hope, I hope we can put a male in there and not have to go get an extra line because that's the one thing I didn't bring. Does it matter if there's a hole in it since we're putting it in the Oh, it's a tear. Yeah, we better cut that off. I can hammer one in now. Shoot, where's the thing?

What?

Here we go. The thing for starting this.

Uh-oh.

You know where it is? What did you just put in your mouth? Don't you put that in your mouth. We're missing the spark to start this torch. Where was it? Well, it was in that container, but Gideon's been all over it.

Not here.

You think I didn't grab it?

Never had it. Because why?

Why grab both those? Because where there was two in here, I thought there were two heads on them. And there's— there— it could be two different hose clamp sizes. There's two different hose clamps. Should I try by hand? There's no way because I have to pull. All right, here we go. Maybe I can. We've got these tight on there. This is not all the way on, it could come that much further over, uh, but I guess it's worth a try. I could have swore I put that starter in the thing. I hope I didn't, because then if I didn't— if I did, it's lost. We just drove back, turned the water on. I'm gonna walk back up here and let's see if we fixed it. Oh, we did not. Yeah, all right, I think it's better than it was. We're gonna have to get the heat on that. All right, it didn't work, but we gotta milk. We milked early yesterday. We definitely cannot put off milking. Okay, Miss Thanks, just you and I. Lily is cleaning up. She chose to clean up the house today. I'll take it. Let's get you some alfalfa and get you milked. I'm gonna have a big day inside editing today. Yesterday's video, we got the generator. Thank you, Cummins. Uh, I'm gonna make a really special video about that, so I guess by the time you see this, if you haven't seen that, you might want to go see that. Because— and pay attention to the very end of that video, there's info on, uh, entering to win a Cummins generator, portable one. So make sure you guys check out that video. I'll leave a link to it in the description. Look who came down! But I'm already done milking. Yeah, did you get done cleaning the house? All right, let's go see it. Are you cleaning here too?

Yeah.

What? Now that's— That's nice. Oh wait, what? Poop? Oh my gosh.

I told you there's gonna be dog poop.

Teddy turd. Teddy turd. And what else? Uh, ta-da! Okay, good job.

I cleaned up this area.

Alright, I like it. You did good. What about all those boxes up there? Y'all still using that?

Yeah, those are for us to store stuff.

Okay, look who's cooking lunch and supper tonight. I've recruited one of the best chefs in the world today. What are you making for brunch? Uh, chicken nuggets. Chick-fil-A style chicken nuggets, but these will actually be healthy fries. And then I think Rebecca's gonna put together a salad. And then of course it's Indian Wednesday. He used the breast for the the nuggets, and then all the leftovers is Indian Wednesday tonight. We have recruited, hired Arun to help us, mostly farm work, but he's also a mega chef. So on today's— like today we have a big edit, that's very, very, very, very, very, very, very helpful. Let's get on the edit. I'm thinking if it's 10:20 now, I could probably get done by separate pretty easily. Got some good progress on that. Been working on— I need to stretch every once in a while, you know. You don't want to sit at the computer too long. Let's just check on Arun's progress. Look at that, guys. Boom! Oh, that's nice. All right, just a little stretch, just a little movement. Back to the grind. All right, I made it through it once. 1 hour raw footage, knocked it down to about 40 minutes. I'll probably knock off half or more of that. It's a little longer to do that. We'll see where it runs at with this. Oh my word, Chick-fil-A, eat your heart out! What you making?

I am making a salad.

Is this our salad? Yeah, salad's in season again.

This is my lettuce. I don't have much. Ah, but what I do have—

fall crop?

No, this is the second summer planting.

All right, nice.

So I was just—

good work. Is it bitter? Is that why you were soaking it?

No, I was getting all the dirt off of it.

All right, look at this, Rebecca. He's done. What a masterpiece, Arun. Arun Kumar on YouTube. How's your channel doing, bro? Cooking with Arun Kumar. When you gonna put up chicken nuggets and fries? When you gonna put up— Oh, you already have fries? Okay, good deal.

Oh my, very nice salad.

I'd say so. Ben, you're gonna be eating like king today, buddy. Oh man, I'm looking at that salad right now. You don't have enough room for your fries on that salad plate. All right, come get it, kids. Hey, everybody come get it. Really? I don't know if they ever had this because they would be swarming us. How is it, everybody?

Good.

I bet people are gonna be wanting seconds. Mom's got her mouth full. It must be good. I think one day I'll eat chicken nuggets with you. Maybe intro that. It's mostly meat, the cassava flour. But for now, I got a bowl full of legs and thighs. It's got some spices on it. I've introed spices.

That's funny.

Like, guys, we gotta make room for garden guy. Hey, we got everybody. Boom. Okay, 8 hours later. That was an 8-hour edit. You haven't seen it? It's an exciting vlog. We get this amazing generator.
