Well let see where to start.....
Since the last video i put up, my you tube account was compromised. Lost all my content and had to completely start over. I learned a valuable lesson, and put measures in place to protect my account this go around.
The plan when we bought our land 5 years ago was to build our home on this farm, well some things have changed and while we will still be living on our farm, it will be on new acreage we recently acquired. Our closest neighbor, Lived in a ranch style brick 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that borders my farm, her daughter recently moved her into an assisted living home, Shes in her late 80's and could no longer stay alone. My wife seen them moving furniture out of the house and stopped to check on the lady, when her daughter asked if we would be interested in purchasing the home. Seems the daughter was the only sibling financing her mothers bills and was going to use the proceeds from the home sell to help her mother live more comfortably financially. After inspecting the home we seen it was going to be a good bit of work, but made an offer, and she accepted.
So now we own a few more acres that border my 20 acres and my farm gates are within site of my living room window. I can literally walk out of this house across the back yard onto my farm, its that close. We officially closed on the home last Monday and begin the demolition process. I said after my last remodel that I would never do this again, but this deal was almost to good to pass up. Its a really nice home, although it has issues, its nothing that cant be fixed. So While I've been busier than cat covering up poop, my gardens are doing very well this year, harvested my potatoes 3 weeks ago, planted 15 pounds, harvested 125 lbs. Im on my 2nd planting of green beans, got 4 pickings off the first batch. Squash is coming off in bucket loads, cucumbers have just kicked into high gear, and tomatoes are loaded. I have been working everyday on the house, and try to spend time in the gardens in the early mornings while its cool. I'll try to get some recent pics up loaded soon.

when you get done though you can be glad with the investment you've made and that it is right next to your existing property is fantasticly wonderful. i'm glad that worked out for you.
