What is a safe light to put in the hen house? God bless you and your family ✝️
GM ☕️☕️🥶… Upper Northern Nevada desert here & its been very cold also. Been single digits at night & Maybe reach low 30s daytime. My garden is small & sleeping since October lol.
Such admiration for both of you 🤩 lots & lots of hard work to keep on top of things.
Prayers for you & everyone having to endure this weather 🙏🙏😶🌫️💨🥶❄️. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I have 4 citrus. How long do you leave the trees in those pots? I have 2 of those pots, but my citrus is planted in the ground.
I have some volunteer potatoes (I think) on the edge of my compost pile. So I should cut it off and it will come back? I'm in North Texas and we're getting single digits Thursday night
We live in northern Canada and are use to this kind of weather. We use old crock pots for the duck and chicken water. We keep it on low and it works great even in -40 C temperatures.
👍👍👍
We live in Upstate South Carolina and are also preparing for the coming very low temperatures. We don't have nearly the preparations you have. but we are working to protect out winter gardens. Your delicious meal made my mouth water!! Wanda, the sweet potato cornbread looks perfect. I will search for a recipe. Thank you! Merry Christmas
Wanda, what kind of recipes do you use the Cherokee tans in?
I didn't know about covering strawberry plant with hay to protect them from cold so thanks for mentioning it. I live a lot farther north than you so I'll be doing this every year. This is my strawberries first winter. Thank you so much. I spent the day winterizing. 👍
Use the peel and whole fruit . It's great autoimmune fighter and you get the whole vitamin benifits. When you get a cold I heard from ppl if you put a lemon or orange in blender with honey n water or juice it will kick it out fast ! I'm trying it next time I'm sick.
I'm in the PNW are we are expecting 25 degrees this afternoon with an ice storm behind it. Brrr I'm thankful that my grandson is helping me. Stay warm and safe. Blessings
The wind chill and 50 mph winds with 12-18" of snow will shut us down for a few days. I'm just praying the power stays on and the furnace doesn't fail. I'll be checking on all the critters every couple hours. I plan on stuffing the quail and rabbit cages with straw and just crossing my fingers with all my chickens. Stay warm!
Deep South Homestead has a lot to lose from this crazy blast. I'll be praying for your plants to survive. But I'll tell ya, this weather coming is going to be horrible for all of in the south. Here in Fort Payne AL on Lookout, Its supposed to go down to between
5 and -8 plus the severe Windchill. Its never been that cold here either. Our normal low can freeze if a front comes but only for a night or two. Our normal highs are usually 50 plus degrees and about 3540 lows this time of the year. This is going to be stressful for all homesteaders and their animals. My low tunnels are loaded up with all my winter vegetables. I sealed up my chicken/ duck house to block up any drafts since windchill. Plus a heat lamp.I went got cracked corn to give a little bit to my horses with their feed and got bedding already for everybody. My two 6 month old puppies will drive me crazy inside all the time. But Stay safe everyone. 🙏 we know they're using their weather control technology to bring this weather. The timing of it being during the biggest holiday of the year, people usually travelling and severity of it says it all we should know. I suppose theyre hoping to take some lives too. So please stay safe and warm as possible. I want this overwith already. 🙏✝️🙏❤️
I love hearing your cows wanting that hay. Your crops are so beautiful! I’m tired too. Let’s go get a cup of coffee and relax a spell.
I’m a new subscriber from Indiana.
We haven't got this terrible weather yet. Starts tomorrow afternoon.
Can you can the juice. Nancy from nebraska
Stay safe and I pray all is well!
Well, hot water freezes faster, so use cold. Thanks, Mr. Franz. Your science lessons still stick!
Here I Lay in a warm bed watching you… lol praying for you ALL in the colds path.
Hope you drained the water out of your hoses
I thought you were cutting back on your herd because of feed costs??? What happened?
Don’t you have winter coats and gloves?
