I am so sorry about your corn. I totally know how you feel! We had a terrible hail and wind and rain storm 2 days ago. It completely demolished my corn patch and my entire garden, fruit trees, everything. We had 5 inches of rain in less than 15 minutes. Hail the size of golf balls.Wish I could send you a photo. I had never seen something like this in my 64 years! but I won't quit! I had to purchase tomato and pepper plants yesterday, but I can direct sow everything else. I have to admit, my faith was weak. I wanted to quit. I grieved over my hard work and my beautiful garden. But God is faithful and He is true. I am so thankful for His provision.

I’m not a farmer, but I have done a lot of work for farmers for their water supply and pumps. I’ve seen many nut farmers put just strips like 18 inches of free reflective ribbon or so on branches to keep crowd off their trees. I think if you put a strip of ribbon every so often on your fence line, and some sticks in your row line that your tractor can’t touch with ribbon, you could get back in there with your tractor! It shimmers even more than long strips. We love your family and good luck !

❤❤❤MEGAN, Here is something that might help you with your strawberries. 🍓 I learned this from a friend in Louisiana. I can’t recall the exact ratio but I would mix it like I do my white vinegar and water for killing germs. She washed her berries, then put them in a bowl or bucket and cover them with the water/vinegar mixture. Let them sit about an hour . Drain the berries and put in the fridge. Where the strawberries have the grooves bugs etc can get deep between them and cause berry rot. The vinegar mixture seeps deep in between the grooves killing all the germs. She said she has had them last up to nearly 2 weeks and be great. Her channel is Amy’s Louisiana Kitchen. You could look through her videos and get the exact directions. She and her husband have a farm as well. But it is a beef cattle farm. Hope this helps you. I broke my glasses so if there’s any typos, please forgive. 💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey y’all. Glad to see someone is having a nice strawberry harvest. I usually have an over abundance of strawberries. But it just won’t quit raining here. Strawberries are rotting left and right. Like y’all said. You can’t get mad and you can’t give up. And yes those old black craftsman hoses were the best. As far as crows go. They are smart birds. Once they learn there is a corn kernel down there, they will go right down the row and pull up every plant. I see why the old timers used to encourage us boys to use crows for target practice. Hope the reflective tape works for you.

They used the silver aluminum foil looking stuff. I think it would be perfect to keep the crows out of the garden.

I just love a "can do" man! We grew up in suburbs and have a farm and we are trying but are woefully short on building/mechanical/electrical/plumbing skills! We don't have issues with anything being pulled up. Our darned crows wait until corn is close to ripe and they just ravage it. I saw that Native Americans used to build elevated huts and girls would hang out up there throwing rocks at or just scaring crows out of corn. I bought one of those screened in camp cots and may spend some nights out there in the summer. I think it would be traumatic to.our kinda blind dog to sleep alone in the garden. I'm like you--animals have all this other acreage to eat off of. I'm 66 now and not doing all this effort for them!

Thank you for another great video, I am curious to see how the reflective tape works out at the creek garden. Also what wonderful comment and insight about “I don’t know how she does it” to cook a 4 course meal and keep up with everything else. That’s what it’s all about family sharing the load and enjoying the fruits of your labor. I noticed in some other videos y’all like Dukes Mayonnaise, I was a store bought Mayo guy as well, until I got my laying hens and started making my own fresh Mayonnaise, in my opinion it’s much better than store bought and you control what goes into it. If your curious there are plenty of recipes online. One tip is to pasteurize your eggs and the mayo will keep for a long time in the fridge…. Long enough til the next batch that is. Appreciate y’all and God bless!

Hey guys new to your channel im really enjoying your channel brings me back to my childhood ….i love watching you cook all them good suppers reminds me of my mom .what a good life you have on your farm we had a dairy farm plus garden canning .my mom would love seeing how you made your butter so quickly she had to make my dad butter he didn’t like store bought butter but she started out doing by hand I remember as a kid helping when she’d need to do sometg else but when I was older she found someone that had a electric churn for her crock churn ….mom wouldn believe how quickly you made your butter .we drinker milk straight out of the milk cooler it would be so cold it’d hurt your throat……..watched you redo your corn where crows ate it I don’t kn if you guys know or now but I’ve seen this happen if you have crows like in your garden ,yard ….i tried over and over to run them off so a owl caught one at my bird feeder so I felt sorry for him run out made the owl turn him loose ….but that night or late evening the owl got the crow killed and eat him in my yard ……after that I didn’t have a crow for years it’s said that crows remember the bad things that happen to there family members and they won’t come back to where a death has occurred for around seven yrs .i would hear them in in the distance but they never came back to my yard …. I guess maybe if you’ll kill one crow it’ll get rid of them for a few years .i saw on a pbs program about crow how smart they are they remember people and remember where a death occurs and how they stay away I didn’t believe it untill it happened here at my house ……….mom used to have a couple cows she’d milk first and save their milk for butter and butter milk Jersey cows…….my mom passed away April of 23 she lived with us for four yrs I jus wish I had known about the you tube channels so she could have watched you all she would have loved every minute of watching you guys………….im so glad I’ve found your channel keep the videos coming ❤❤❤❤

You are right that strawberries don't keep so what we do is throw a few strawberries a day into the freezer and then make the jelly on a cool, rainy day. Glad to see how you plant the berries where they will fit. Eventually you will have gallons at a time because berries spread so well. The chickens don't get any but the very worse of my strawberries. I cut out the bad spots, eat or jam the balance and leave the stems and cut out spots for the chickens. One year we had problems with Chinese pheasants. They walk down the newly planted rows and seem to smell the seeds before they sprout eating them as they go. My daughter's row did better because she planted her row deeper that the rest of us.

Strawberries keep better if you put 'em off in a colander before you put 'em off in the fridge so's they can get some air to 'em, kinda like grapes does.
