Daily Life on Our Hobby Farm Chickens, Garden, _ More!

Oh, hey, what's going on everybody? Welcome to my front garden. As you can see, it's thriving. Got some bee balm, some sunflower, really helpful for the bees. To the left of me, it's beautiful Japanese maple that I rescued from a landscape about 10 years ago. So stay tuned, check out this video, Day in the Life at Grateful Farms. Found a zucchini. We're gonna be milking a goat today, so I'm gonna want to put these goats outside of the pen. I'm gonna try and lure them out here. Come on you guys, your food's over here. Chocolate's got the idea, everybody else follows. Come on, Grandma. Good goaties. There she is. She was born a couple days ago, so she's about three days old. I guess that would be a few days. Hey, we're thinking about calling her Elsa. Good girl. Got a warm rag with some soap. Just gonna go ahead and clean her udder. Give it a little beat. And you wanna get rid of the first couple pumps there. Get any of that bacteria out or any debris. So, since she's only got one kiddo, she's gonna be producing milk enough for two. So, we don't want her to get engorged, because that becomes painful. So we're just kind of giving her some relief here. A little bit of milk there. Another thing that we gotta do out here on the farm, is give the goats clean, fresh water. It's not a hot day. Something that you can do is give them some molasses. Get some to drink more water, so they can stay more hydrated. How about you, Chocolate? Want some molasses water? How about you, Nugget? No? Hey, Stella. Yeah, you want some of that molasses water. Ooh, boy. Now it's time to feed the chickens. Come on, chickens. Come on. I don't know why, but every time I do this, I think of Napoleon Dynamite, and Napoleon's feeding Tina the llama. Tina, come eat your food. Come get your dinner. Gosh. Let's go get some eggs. Tell you what, these chickens got a killer view. Hello, and welcome to our garden. As you can see, it's pretty bare at the moment, because we harvested some garlic. So, I'm gonna use this scuffle hoe here, and till the soil a little bit, and get out whatever remaining weeds. It's kind of like a traditional hoe, but it's got this closed loop in here, and really just cuts through those roots nicely. Oh, look at that. We missed a garlic. It's looking pretty good. Now we can lay out our vegetables. We have a mixed variety of things. Let's see. Maybe I should do the tomatoes over here, and the jalapenos over there. Another garden essential tool, this little bulb digger. It's so versatile, and it makes the perfect little hole. Oh, beautiful. Just like that. Easy peasy, pepper squeezy. We're gonna plant these tomatoes deep. Hey, sweet pea. Yeah. Or I say, now that they're diced, we'll flash freeze them in the freezer for 30 minutes. Thanks for tuning in, y'all.
