haha that's exactly what i wanted mucho weeds we planted the potatoes six inches down
we rebuilt these beds it really brought on the weeds
but this is the initiation and then now we're gonna burn them if we have enough fuel
we have fuel but the ladder's not working although well it's not even sparking now we got to do this
see before our potatoes start sprouting and come to the surface because we don't want to burn them
good morning randolph good morning what's the plan today
this one are we really we're gonna finish today we're gonna get the
rafters on we're gonna get the roof on well that's all you like the rafters in the roof
yeah put the roof on and oh and the braces hey you have a lighter i can borrow there you go
all right thank you all right i'll bring it right back yeah it's working
well we ran out of fuel
made it to right here and i think i'm doing it right i don't think you torch them in
place i think i've burnt them and i think they'll shrivel up we got to go milk mr brown her utter is
getting big more mucus coming out i think she's getting ready she's getting ready to have a baby
look how gigantic her utter is dang girl you're gonna have him on this mountainside i kind of hope
she waits five days we got four more days in here and then we backtrack to the old mountain boards
courts which is a little bit smoother it's gonna be rough to have a little calf on this
steep brand new guys you've never grazed this we cleared this area look at this silvopasture area
they love it this the grass seed has come up where we planted it there's plenty of
little brambles they'll eat they're excited i'm excited animals happy makes me happy
checking in on randolph it's looking good look much bigger diagonal pieces
much bigger we're trying to get a support as much as we can down there without having to do a
cross piece i think you twist it off all right to get a tool i'm wondering if this is worth it
i could just hoe that and already be done
i just did that row looks like it's working that was before and that was after
now i kind of like the flame weeder because it doesn't
flamewader doesn't disturb the soil again and you have to rake that up or the plants
are just going to take root again but i made rebecca this morning that's this
potato protecting our potatoes try that as potatoes tell me you're not gone to heaven
delicious oh my goodness that's the fruit of our labor but you gotta enjoy the labor so i'm out
here for half an hour 40 minutes got my shirt off just getting some sun moving some exercise
burning points beautiful i'm really hopeful about that and i wasn't so sure but looking at it now
it's a lot browner than it was and i'm pretty sure any little green left over is gonna wither
in the sun now look at what you've been doing i know i've got how does that feel it feels good
crushed tomatoes crushed tomatoes i did de-seed them but there is quite a few you need in a year
well i use quite a bit of tomato sauce always tell her you don't use it up my next tomato season
oh no more tomatoes see all of this that i buy this is store-bought but this is the same thing
some of it is so some of it's tomato sauce some of it's crushed tomatoes
okay stuff like this yeah look at your tomatoes tomatoes yeah tomatoes and i actually have them
you almost got it randolph yeah i'm getting closer than ever you got the minerals down you got the
braces that you got what do you like the braces and the bar yeah expiration chain in the bar all

before we have a we have a shade shed now this this is the secret do you see this jonah the
hookup is right in the middle and all the pressure is now pulling on the pole and then the pole
pulls straight these pull straight out so there's no pressure pulling these in i
think it'll be just fine what do you think and there's a there's shelter over here
phyllis could hang out over here and stud muffin and flossy maybe over there
and they won't bother each other what do you think yeah i think we'll give it a
spin when we get out of the silvopasture we don't need it right now what are you making
