Thanks for sharing this video. I did not live on a farm but have always loved a garden and putting up as much food for fall. We are retired now but our oldest daughter cans and her dad goes out and helps, but the last two years she has slowed down. We had container tomatoes but they did not do very good this year but our hot peppers did great. We are picking the last of the peppers this coming week. I dry my peppers and put them in jars. I had about 10 different kind of hot peppers. I grounded up some peppers and I added no salt and the kind of seasonings I like to the hot peppers. It is good to rub on your meats before cooking them and to season our chili, sauces or what ever you like to put the seasoning on…I even sprinkle some on my buttered pop corn. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. We are 85 and 87 years old and have slowed way down. The Bible is our guide for living on this earth. He is by our side always. Love you take good care of those precious children.

When I was growing up I always told my mom that I wanted to our in a farm or a ranch Hut she always discouraged me bc she said it was a lot if work bc she grew up on a small farm but she never told me the benefits of all the hard work. So, now I get much satisfaction watching how your farm works with the help a of all your beautiful children and husband.
