Your fruit looks so beautiful. And I'm sure it's even tastier than it smells or looks
I have 5 peach tree's, this is the first year they even bloomed a tiny bit. Late freeze came through and killed them and even another of their leafs. Then the deer are so thick out here in ne OK. and they ate their leafs off as much as they could. My poor little peach tree's, they are having such a hard time. My husbands uncle started them from seed and he gave them to us when they were probably 6 to 10 inches tall. These is the third year they have been planted. I have no idea what kind they are and I don't know if they will ever produce fruit. Great video, can't wait til Aaron tells us more about the weather station. That is so exciting.

Of all the years, this year has been my favorite! Beneficial insect control is huge for me, and now this weather station. You'd think I'd rant and rave with the Hartley and pond, which are tremendous accessories to the garden, but I lean in areas that encompass natural science (which the pond will do as it attracts insects, amphibians, etc. All that's left is seeing if there's a bee keeper who would manage hives for you. I guess if you got a milk cow, which I don't see you doing, you'd be classified as a homestead.

I've been watching your cannel for years now, and i want to say thank you for always sharing your knowledge.
Question:
I noticed grass slowly creeping up to the trunk of your Orchard trees. Will you pull the grass away, or is that something you're letting be natural in that setting. I've heard mixed messages when it comes to letting grass grow around the base of a tree, and I'm curious to know if it makes a difference. Does it matter if the grass grows around tree bases (fruit trees and Ornamental?

Laura Laura Laura You and Aaron have created your own piece of Heaven. It gets better with each day. All the flowers and fruit are just amazing. The green grass always captures my attention it is so lush makes me want to walk barefoot in it. Waiting for the area with the new fountain to be done but I know you said it will be later. I just love your videos. It s all so perfect. And those sweet babies. If they only knew how wonderful their life is that y all have created for them. Such a beautiful family.

After watching GA highlights where a viewer asked if you all had a weather station. I followerd a local rain gauge that messages when it gets an inch from a storm. Neat knowing before news when area really did get a soaker.
Hard to see harvests about over, .with frozen fruit can add to water like ice and eat after finished drinking.
Thx for sharing how to manage a free flowing design. because at the end makes it look cohesive. Color balance, season changes, texture, height.

It's inspiring to see your planting areas' emerging development. Can't help but think of trying some trope l'oeil techniques with group plantings at curves in the stone pathways where swaths
would continue from side to side disregarding the barrier of the path. So basically planting swaths that curve & cross the path from side to side tricking the eye to follow the swath, not the path. Group plantings of evergreens this way would create secret pockets along the path as well.

Georgia use to be the Peach State. Well it still is. But we have such unpredictable weather starting in February. Before Valentines Day jonquils are blooming, camellias azaleas, tulip trees, apple trees and Peach trees. It only takes a few days of warm Temps and the rain to bring them out. Only to get him by low morning Temps that bring frost. I've seen snow also. In March we had one of our largest snow storms.

Aaron got a new toy, I noticed when y all are doing the Q&A and someone mentioned the weather station Aaron s eyes lite up and I could tell that was getting ordered right away! Question, can you give the fallen rotten peaches to your chickens? I can see giving the big baskets to the pigs but when you just have a few I would think it would be a treat for the chickens. I just wondered if they are bad for them?

Unlike other fruits, peach skin is not harmful to your flocks. So you don't have to take time to remove it when you serve it to them. Like the peach flesh, it surprisingly has many nutrients your chickens will benefit from, including the phenolic compounds that will help chickens fight diseases. Chickens love this nutritious fruit. The pit contains some cyanide, so remove the pit first.

I mounted a Tempest weather station in the same way but I m in the windy Azores and found that very strong winds tended to register as rain also - just something to look out for if accuracy is your thing. I probably need to adjust the mount to fix that. In the meantime, I also have a Davis Vantage Vue which is a bit more costly but definitely worth it. Happy weather watching

I am near several Tempest weather stations here in coastal NC, one right around the corner from me. My weather app picks up the info (think you can share with national weather service. I would strap that pole to the fence to keep it stable when you gave high winds, which could rock the pole and loosen it enough to yank it right out of the ground.

Have you thought about using the steam juicer for some of the apples? You get the juice and run the steamed apples through a food mill to remove the seeds, skins and hard parts of the core and make applesauce. I wish you had a freeze drier to do some of the strawberries, peaches, raspberries and all other goodness you are harvesting.

I'm thinking that maybe some jam/preserves/butter might also be something you could try your talented hands at? Or live a little and mix some raspberries in for a delicious ice cream topper. Or just keep feezing/canning, because that seems to work well also. Hope everyone has a PEACHY day! (a roll of the eyeballs, lol.

Peach jam would be soooo good! Elbertas are my favorite to eat.
Kids are so blessed to be able to just go out and get practically anything they'd want to eat. Are you going to home school the kids. It would be so hard to send Benjamin off to school everyday! They live an almost perfect life there on your place.

Couple of quick questions. When you plant using the plop and plant method. Do you go around later and hook up the drip system to them? And about the hoselink system. Can u attach a sprinkler or will it automatically rewind once you set the sprinkler down? Thanks for consistent, informative and wholesome content.

You can not get any more poignant example of where we are in this world: A beautiful person making amazing videos about planting, growing organic food, and just plain brining joy to the world. WITH A CHEMTRAIL POISONED SKY IN THE BACKGROUND! Disgusting! Thank you government for ruining the beauty

My mom and I prefer a very light syrup on canned peaches too. We love adding 2 teaspoons of lemon juice to a quart as it really seems to bring out the fresh taste of the peaches. Where do you find the seascape strawberry plants? I haven't been able to find any after you recommended them in earlier videos.

The barn pots are perfect for Autumn. Great planning, Laura! Does anybody know what the pink blooming plant is behind the PW Saffron Finch Petunias at 10: 22? Thanks! I've wanted a weather station for ages because the closest weather trackers on Wunderground are 10 miles away from our rural community.

Must be just me, but I thought you were a bit tired today. hope you feel ok. Those peaches look so good. My husband loves peaches but I have to peel them for him. The fuzz freaks him out! We have a simpler weather station and it has provided so much interesting information. you will love yours.
