Wonderful video! Thank you so very much!

Great tour of the homestead. A speedy recovery from your surgery. Looks to me as if it all coming along nicely. 46:56

If you reach 100k subscribers I think youtube would send you an award.

thanks for the headsup on those drag hoes, a pair from france with free delivery to UK for £7 on ebay, almost felt guilty buying them! I use 'dufus' traps for moles over here, bit like your can but with loops at both ends kinda double set things

Interesting ❤

for the apples that don't pollinate well; do you know if you are maybe using some triploids? they have weak pollen. oh and there is a loquat seedling close to where i live that has small round, flattened fruit that has very soft skin (and not fuzzy) so no need to peel. and it tastes better than any store bought loquat i've eaten so far. too bad most of the time the flowers/fruitless don't survive winter.

Wow, that bed of '23 seedlings is inspiring! The previous two years I lost close to 50% of my seedlings to damping off. Last year I tried better drained soil and bottom watering, but still no good. This year I decided to pasteurize my soil, so I got some deep old chafing pans full of water, brought to a boil and dumped my soil mix in. Smelled like wet dog, manure and mushroom soup! So far so good though - zero damping off. I also planted them late this year so it was warmer. Ive read temps over 70 help inhibit damping off pathogens. You do a lot of work to provide apple seeds of some really exciting crosses, so glad more of your work will survive to fruition this year. Wishing you good health and success in all your projects!

Dude, if it's melanoma, I hope you got tested if it spread. 9 months without symptoms suggests so, but don't underestimate it. I lost a family member like that, he was dead within 6 months.

for the alliums, thats how I always plant mine. deep is okay, never had them too deep.

Hope you get better.

Good to see you glad you're back healthy. I just wanted to let you know i bought lots of stuff at the beginning of spring all the grafts took all the grape cuttings rooted and all the seeds germinated. Thanks so much for all you do! I plan to buy more from you soon this was a wonderful video.

Great to see you back on YT. The seeds I bought from you this season are doing great. I got pretty close to 100% germination, so I have 70+ trees to plant out this fall. Thanks for your work, I can't wait until I start getting fruit

So sorry you don't feel well. Do you have Lime Disease?

Thanks for all you do !

Glad you mentioned that missing tree... I had grafted an apple tree last year, planted it out in the field in autumn and by spring it was gone. The wood chips around it were completely untouched, so it was not torn out and I couldn't find any remains by digging, so it was not bitten off. Some people told me I was crazy to assume it has gone underground xD

I'm most interested when you explain tree growth stuff. You show in this video that you can tell with a quick look at the tip of a branch if it's still actively growing out. Is it because of the kind of buds you find there, or how exactly do you know? (I actually hoping that you already have it in a video?)

I'd love to get me one of those golfer traps... They keep running on my land and are leaving these terrible white round droppings...

That cultivator attachment you mentioned that slides under the top layer of soil is called a Dutch hoe

Lots of nice work to do. Maybe you could have a helper party and those close enough could pitch in for a day one weekend.

I'm intensely jealous of all those lovely beds in comparison to the sand pit that is my garden but I know you worked your ass off to make them that good because I watched you do it. Always great to have a video from you. Best wishes with everything

Спасибi за новi сорти...яблук та iншого..❤

Glad to hear you are well and being 10 years older than you I always question starting anything new. I want to move as well, but I have to know I'm leaving a new garden or orchard to someone who will continue it. Q: I have to move a few apple trees I started from seed 2 & 3 seasons ago. When should I root prune them, Now while they are in the ground or when I dig them in the fall? Thanks for all you do.

I've been binge-watching / rewatching your content. Thanks to your motivation, I have grafted over 25 apple varieties (I'm in 🇯🇲). I saw a video where you recommended Waltana, I'm supposed to get some scions by weekend.👍

Thanks for taking the time to vlog the homestead activities.

Always excited for the apple breeding updates. So many new varieties coming in the future. Can’t wait for the team wachuma seedlings also. Continue to persevere, your work is a huge inspiration for many.

Deer wouldn’t be a disaster; just fill the freezer with venison.

David the Good got me listening to portis head and drinking spiced rum.

hi Stephen, that apple with the hard to pollinate parts, why don't you use the male pollen off that and pollinate the female of a tree that doesn't have the flower so far in.

Sorry to hear that, glad they got it all!👍🏻

Off-topic, but an old wood saw can be transformed into a panel hacksaw that people once used in the Cold War. You'll need a carbide bit though. Yes, they can also be sold for Japanese waterstones.

VOTO: B - Chickens noises are: B - Cute, relaxing and super funny! Oh, yes, never forget, delicious too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Netflix should give this guy a series

Ganhou mais um inscrito. Muito obrigado por postar. Esse foi primeiro vídeo seu que vejo. Estou ansioso para ver os outros.

Never imagined how much work is required for transforming a skin to leather . And lot of time as well Very impressive 👍

Incredibly helpful. Restoring a Kelly True Temper Flint Edge axe. Just got a nice edge on it. Handle is sun bleached and dry as a chicken bone. It's been a cool transformation process. Thanks!

I wonder how well tape holds up if its wrapped near the head of an axe. Could duct tape or some kind of rubber tape reinforce or ease the stress that travels through the handle at all in the long term? I always thought it was aesthetic or for better grip, never really looked into any properties that dampen any of the recoil or shock that travels through it.

Thank you!

Thank you for all of these videos on grafting, last winter when I bought some stone fruit Scion, they were thin and were also budding, one was starting to flower! I think we just had an season here last year. The St Julian rootstocks I bought for them, 9/10 never woke up anyway, so wasn’t a great year!

I couldn't disagree with you more. Don't be careful for fear of injuring your leg. Or as I like to say giving yourself a pirate swagger, a manly scar, and a party story about how you could have gone pro if it weren't for that freakish lumberjacking axe injury! So go for it, fortune favors the bold and I will take an axe wound over a chainsaw mishap or my name's not "Lucky Oops Lefty"

❤❤❤Thank sir for good video 👍👍👍✨

In. Nz they used to slow hardwood drying by burying it in sawdust

Can you propagate from cuttings, I have 2 pineapple guavas, I would like more just for personal use, I live in West Central Florida, thanks

can you just graft on a whip to an established apple tree? mine are just from seed so as a root stock they are doing great but want to graft on some varieties. trees are not fruiting now as not big yet, about 1" diameter at base with various smaller branches. your opinion would be appreciated. TY

Thank you for this video!

Hi and thanks for sharing, appreciated. Lots of things happen when splitting wood. And when someone splitting is skilled and in the zone, the hand is quicker than the eye and to the inexperienced it can look more dangerous than it is. A skilled kindling axe user, when warmed up and in their grove can be very focused and aware of exactly what will work best for each bit of wood as it presents itself and acting accordingly. In the last couple of months I've split 70 kindling bags, didn't hit a finger once. Years ago I occasionally glanced a finger but I never got cut. Back then I set up with a waist high splitting block, wore gloves and tried to never allow a situation where the axe can meet a finger backed by a solid surface. So I aim to never put a finger or thumb on top of a piece to be split, but to hold gently on the side as a core method, but lots and lots of other knowledgeable skills and techniques are useful for varying wood and situations. Today I have a wood splitting bench with a semi circle end into which a splitting block fits. Kindling usually splits onto the bench top so bending is mostly eliminated. I've found it worth while to have a high splitting block for doing kindling. I used to position a wheelbarrow to catch most splits. This worked well for moving them to where they were to be stored or for then putting into bags. With my current set up it's often from complete round to bagged kindling at the wood splitting bench. When I have learned some more I would like to move to processing kindling mechanically. Thanks again for sharing Cheers sincerely d

hi, just saw your video and have a quick question. when using a rootstock of Morus alba and grafting it with Morus nigra. If the Morus alba is without roots could it still accept the graft and root.

Imagine if apples didnt take so long to fruit from seed. You'd probably have apples the size of your head that taste like raspberry jam by now

My go to mix for preserving wood. Use it on pine picnic table and weather exposed plywood on my camper. Lasts a number of years and soaks in well. Turpentine 1 qt Boiled Linseed Oil 1 qt Pine Tar 1/2 pt Japan Drier 1/2 pt

Have you considered getting a piece of pvc pipe and putting a glued cap on one end then stick a handle inside the pipe and pour in oil and let it soak for days.
