early summer means explosion on the homestead today is no different we have to get the chickens
out behind the cows we have to plant the potato garden can we make it today can we make it they
need to go back out to the cow pasture for the garden i'm in a rush because today is july 13th
these potatoes will become full mature october 13th our first possible frost day is october 10th
so time's ticking and i'm already out we have to harvest the tomatoes we have a dumpster that
needs to be filled the chores need to go on the cows need to be moved lunches need to be made
it all has to happen at once we tried to move these chickens
and the door latch came undone and they all escaped little jiggling this
it comes out we used to have one over here that would help let's see if we can't find
a wire to strap that shut temporarily long enough it might be if i un bend it let's try
we got it secure for the long haul
vince must still be on i just got shocked you got the fence off yeah you got shot yeah i did
dicks need more water man thirsty pigs are going though josiah
uh august 10th the market picks can you hang in there for the big payday
it's a little after nine the goal is to get done milking by 10 and then having an hour to do the
garden we're about to milk but the pan has been left behind it's one thing after another today but
there's the pand i'll just look at this as training for my
half marathon one of the best things we've done to ensure our success is compartmentalize our life
we have a certain time in the morning to do chores and farm work and pretty much have a
hard stop and then it's lunch and then it's office time working on the business working
on abundant permaculture abundance plus all these things and then another hard stop for dinner and
after dinner more relaxing things seven minutes we still gotta process the milk ain't gonna happen
any of those time slot there's not enough time in the day to get it all done and what that does
though is being disciplined in that area if we're sure to say what is the most important
thing 1007 we got the milk taken care of let's see what we can get done 25 minutes
we just got the twine set up trying to dig just to the right of it building the bed up right
there maybe i can get another one going we may not always get it right but if we're going at the most
important things chances are we're going far and beyond towards our dreams it's that 80 20 rule
uh you get 80 of your results from 20 of the efforts so if there's 10 things to do and you
just get two but they're most important if you could just get those two things done chances are
you're getting 80 towards your goal how's it going in there back
killing squash bugs she's crushing it inside the high tunnel one of the
very important things we have right now is we've got to plant potatoes because
every day that goes on we're getting further and further into the harvest into the frost state we
want our plants to grow to full maturity without frost so there's a bit of a rush lily's gonna go
in and make lunch it is 11 that will save us some time if she does it jonah one two you got two beds
uh one two three more to go we're gonna have a hard stop at 11
20. hard stop at 11 20 babe like always we had some distractions during chores
what's happened is the oil's coming past the out of the block turned into the cylinder had to talk
with mark looks like sally's done for that's not good news that's like engine rebuild but
it's just a total plain worth it to do that probably
got the rose built it's a hard quitting time
i wish we would have the potatoes planted although we did not get
done we did get five garden beds built how much less would we have gotten done had we not aimed
to plant the potatoes it didn't it was an impossible goal but we got so much done because we
aim for the impossible one what do i say i say aim for the impossible and extraordinary things happen
