    You have a lifetime to finish your projects. Rest and recoup is very rewarding as well. God bless and I sure enjoy watching you grow as a family. 💋

    Hi Tara,
    I am so admiring of your vegetable garden. Its thriving! It is wonderful. What a joy to eat what you've planted & grown yourself. And the added bonus to have the seeds for next year's garden and the years ahead.
    Crusoe's enthusiasm is so heart warming to see. Be it picking & eating fruits – especially melons!
    Or helping his Dad! with building.

    Take care everyone and I hope that your shoulder feels better soon! Laura 🌻🌻🌻

    So glad you have had a lovely holiday you deserve it. John you really need to rest that shoulder, you don’t want to do more damage. May be best to get it checked out, put your mind at rest. X

  7. Judith

    That way you are raising Crusoe is wonderful. He looks so healthy; you don't try to protect or entertain him but interact with him as part of your projects as a learning experience. I understand John is frustrated with his injury and is concerned about the need to 'work but 'it needs to be allowed to heal before there is real damage.

    about ur runnerbean-beans… if u want to save them for next year: put them in the freezer for 24 hrs (no longer). i didnt know/do that last year and all my beans where eaten by bean-bugs this spring.

    Or in Hungarian Padlizsán=Eggplant. Wondering what it is in Finnish?😊❤
    John REST. I have a similar problem with my right shoulder re digging in the garden. If I rest a couple of days the pins and needles go away. Be sensible with your body you only have one😊. Love the outdoor kitchen. Hardly can wait to see in working order. 🫂🐨🦘

  15. Megan Borole

    This is SO SO SO cool!! Love the design ideas for the kitchen. Sorry about your shoulder John but OH MY GOODNESS, I love that veggie garden Tara! Amazing

  16. Lucy Oliveira

    Rest and see a doctor! Tingling in your fingers is indicative of inflammation putting pressure on the nerves of your hand. It requires treatment.

  17. Angie Gouveia

    Rest John, let your shoulder heal. Love the way you guys allow Crusoe to be so involved in everything. He is a lucky young man to have such a wonderful and free upbringing, and soon it will be Sawyer too. Its joyous to watch ❤

  18. Reina Moody

    Hope his shoulder feels better and will not need any surgery. He’s a hard worker but need to take care.
    Like Father, like son. I love watching Crusoe and how his brain works. He's a gem for sure. I hope to see Sawyer learn from Crusoe all that he has to teach him going forward. Love your projects John. Tara you are a rock star gardener.

  19. Reina Moody

    have you made green fried tomatoes? they are delicious! Crusoe is a great helper, just love watching him helping with the garden and projects with his dad. Always enjoy watching your videos ❤

  22. Pauline Wilson

    John, please rest that shoulder to prevent more permanent long term damage. We have to look after ourselves or injuries come back to haunt us in our older years. Wishing you all good health and continued happiness xxx

    Hello Sweet Family, I haven't been able to watch since July 29th, my husband after his kidney stone operation got a very bad infection through his whole body and being 80 it was very serious. For almost 11 days we were not sure he would make it. BUT! He did and now is in Rehab working at eating, Standing, walking, dressing and just be nornal again. My daughter comes with me every day to help in his recovery and my three sons come when they can. They have families and jobs which makes it a bit harder to visit as much, but we have wonderful care and each day there is new improvement. Just loved this Vlog, I know I say that a lot but I truly do. Thank you a million times for them. Happy Day Newby's. Always and Love Donna USA

    You can close salads for the winter from cucumbers and mashed tomatoes in glass balloons of 2 liters each. There is no vinegar, only salt and your favorite spices, you can put garlic there. I will send you a video recipe in Russian, but you can easily translate and understand from the video. Here he is:

    Below the video there is a description and there you will find the recipe for the workpiece. Translate it and use it. Believe me, it is very tasty in winter! Good luck to you. I decided to send you a couple more video recipes with other vegetables below.

    John, you comment on Crusoe's ìnterest in all the veg but you as parents have imbued this interest because he has been included in planting and caring🎉for all the plants and seeds. We are all enthused by results in the garden. It is indeed delightful to observe.

  32. Valerie Herring

    Happy birthday Tara! 🥳🥳🥳We hope that you had a fantastic day with John and your babies. John, take it easy on the arm mate. From the moment you moved to your flourishing farm, you've been working very diligently on a variety of fantastic projects and perhaps it's time for a little rest. FYI, my wife broke her leg last year and even though she took very good care of it, it still bothers her to this day. Major thumbs up to your outside kitchen! Take care ya'll! 🤩

  35. Penny Silva

    Pinched nerve, John? Get it checked. You have been working SO HARD and need to look after yourself. Love from us. ❤

  36. Alex Hache

    John, when you say "sorry for the elbow", it made me laugh 😛 Are you Canadian too?? haha don't be sorry at all, I love your channel guys and all the bits and pieces of it: Family experiences, recipes, gardening tips (carrot that you push before pulling for easier extraction wow) and the projects of course, but not only! So don't feel sorry at all! Rest, take care of yourself and love to hear about creative ideas! yayyy
