  You need a pony cart! &nbsp;You don&apos;t have to ride in it, but lead them, and they can help you with the heavier up and down the hill projects.

  OMG!? That turnip is the size of a small child!!!! Holy, what do you put in your soil???? I just about spit my coffee out when you pulled that out of the ground! wow! &nbsp; You guys are amazing! My Father is Irish and 99 years old and I am in the process of getting my Irish passport as I am in Canada. &nbsp;I am very much looking forward to going to Ireland again, this time with my daughter. Thanks for your videos, they make my Sunday morning coffee so enjoyable!

  This was a great video. I enjoyed the recap. Also freeze your beans on cookie sheets for a hour or so then put into the bags. It will keep them separate.

  You need one of thise half size pick up trucks. They are tiny but would be helpful hauling all that soil and abundant harvests ❤

  I saw a fella on the internet who was growing potatoes in cardboard boxes. I&apos;m presuming they were heavy duty cardboard, but he&apos;d fill the boxes with soil and compost. He appeared to have a bumper crop. He also grew potatoes in big plastic buckets. I thought of you because you could keep the buckets around your house - no trekking up the hill.

  You’ve really got yourself a beautiful piece of property. The three of you have really knocked it out nicely. You’re good people; caring well for your land, home, animals and each other. Best.

  I recommend putting chicken &quot;saddles&quot; on them. It stops the rooster from making wounds on them, this usually occurs if there&apos;s a smaller ration of male to female so possibly could be worth getting more hens.

  A lot of hard graft, a few tears and hopefully a lot of laughter. &nbsp; You worked so hard and accomplished so much. &nbsp; Well done!

  Something for you to consider. If you intend this to be your forever home, it’s a good idea to minimise the effort required to produce. In particular, your vege garden. I fully understand your reasons for placing it “over the hills and far away”, but that will become impossible as you age.<br>Here is a longer term idea. Turn some of your really steep land into something productive by terracing it. Then build narrowish garden beds along the edge of each terrace, with a walkway between the inside edge of each bed and the wall of the terrace behind it. Initially it’s quite a bit of work, but you reap significant benefits — no more Hillary struggles, closer to the cabin so garden will get more attention, effectively your beds are raised so no more kneeling/crawling(which becomes important as you age), plus you turn a basically useless slope into productive land.<br>This may seem like overkill at present, but it is worth structuring a garden how you eventually want it right from the very beginning. Then it has the time to mature into a paradise while you are still young enough to benefit from it.

  One day I hope you have an atv with a trailor. Life changing. I had one with only 3 acres.
