My wife wants to enlarge our vegetable garden next season. We are looking at adding more tomatoes. Last year we grew grape and big boy tomatoes. What other kinds are there and what are their flavors?

We are starting to plan out our fields for next season and the season after. How far in advance do you plan? We have several fields so crop rotation for us is pretty easy. We always grow corn, wheat and hay each year. The only thing that changes is which field.

This peaked my interest. I need to look into this. I have never heard of a guardian animal. It makes sense though, that some animals are good at one thing while others are good at other things.

Oh my... now this made me chuckle! I'm sure one of the little guys can read and is mad. We also have a heated area for our barn cats. They all like it though.

Hello! Are you going to try farming someday? I agree that it is very interesting yet very hard! Welcome aboard, hope you learn a lot.

Have you ever had a problem with any of your animals getting frostbite in the winter? Last year got pretty cold here and I thought that one of the calves had frostbite on their ears. Any of your animals get this?

I have some friends that chose to homeschool this year because they were afraid to send their kids to school. I think it's great that you're able to count things that they do on the farm as lessons.

I think it is a great idea to let him have chickens. Does he live close so that he can come over daily? I'm assuming they don't live on a farm so it would be nice for him.

I thought the Rockettes were great too. I was just glad that they were able to still have the parade. They have canceled do many things during this pandemic. It was nice to have a bit of normalcy.

I need some help please. My wife is asking for a smartwatch for Christmas. She had a Fitbit but didn't like it (said it wasn't tracking her steps right). She wants to read her text and be able to talk on it too. Any thoughts or recommendations?

I have never noticed any change in my animals with the weather change. I mean, I notice more or less hair but that is it. I wonder if the weather does affect them. That's an interesting topic.

Vacuum and throw out the bag every single day! You should also comb out your pets each day to take any fleas off of them. I would have the exterminator come back again, sometimes it takes more than once.

Great topic! I'm thankful for many things! My health and the health of all of my family! I'm thankful that I was able to work all through the pandemic. I'm thankful that our farm is doing well and we get to keep operating another year.

Have you ever had problems getting water? We struggled a bit last year. We were in a drought. Where do you get water and do you know you have enough or have a backup plan?

I think some people do it to freshen the soil. We don't do it after either. We do it before we plant the new seeds. I do know others that do after. I don't really know the best way.

How successful were you with preserving your goodies from your garden? We canned a lot and froze a lot too. We should have enough to get us through the winter and early spring.

I think even with a vaccine, it will take years to perfect. Look at the flu shot! Yes, we are even looking into greenhouses. We want to be able to produce more and for a longer period of time.

What are your thoughts on greenhouses? We are seriously thinking about making one. Our winters are long and cold so our garden season is short. What are the pros and cons of having a greenhouse?

I use a lot of garlic - fresh, minced, salt and powder. I'm looking to add some spices together to make a concoction to use on multiple things. What spices do you add together?

I have both. The lawn sweepers are cool. You just mow and the leaves go into the sweeper. You have to empty it. Do you have a mulcher on your mower? That works too.
