In case you didn’t know already. If you plan to leave the flags up overnight, proper etiquette is to have a floodlight shining on them. 😊
Don’t forget the light by flag pole too shine in the night time solar works wonderful
yes! There are several “rules of etiquette” in regard to flying a flag that most people have forgotten about or just don’t know….. My biggest pet peeve is when people let a flag fly torn and ragged, then when someone explains they need to replace it…they take it down and toss it in the garbage! 🤦♀️🤦♀️😢😢😡😡
@@Noname-cn4ly agree. Local VFW has a drop box just for flag disposal.
Good home school assignemt---research flag etiquette

As a veteran its going to so beautiful to see old glory blowing in the wind on your homestead. A salute to all the men & women who gave all for our freedom ❤ THANK YOU
Yes!!! Thank you All for your service and sacrifice... You are So Loved and appreciated 🙏❤️🙏
As a Canadian veteran I just want to say thank you to you Charles, and to all our American brothers and sisters. I salute you ❤️

Love a real flagpole! We’ve had one in our yards for 25 years!
Miss seeing kenji there.@@factsmatter4030
Sprinkle straw on the rubber mats. The horse sees it as deep water or a deep hole.
Yep. It's weird that the "been there, done that" horse was fooled!
TRY PAINTING THE MAT GREEN. Our horse wouldn’t go over anything black he thought it was a whole. Green or brown will make it look like the ground
Jeremy is a treasure, so handsome, loving, funny, faithful, strong, dependable
They Are Both Treasures 💕. One Another's King And Queen 💕.
As a veteran, I can’t thank you enough for putting oh Gloria it means so much to me. I can’t tell you.. and when I see people disrespect that flag, I can’t tell you the rage. I feel inside myself.. again thank you very very much.
Thank you so much for your service ❤️
I absolutely agree 💯

I am in the hospital with a fall and had to have a knee replacement Monday
So my son and daughter inlaw came and saw onTuesday night. I wasn't doing well either. MIThey went home to find our 3 dogs, 2 Pomeranians, and the 12 year old bull dog Buckaroo. Buckaroo had a stroke and died within an hour of the them coming home. The Poms were very loving. I ended up in ICU with heart trouble that nights they went back to hospital. I wasn't told about Buck until Sat. I'm glad to see you putting a garden. Don't know if I will get one in . I hold your family dear to my heart . I love your family.❤
Get well soon 🙏❤
@@angellabrown4352 thank you
Hugs and sorry for your loss.❤❤❤
Awe! You feel better! So sorry to hear about your 🐶 Pup! They are such perfect gifts from our Father!! 🙏Blessing’s
Best wishes for your recovery. So sorry for your loss.🌷🐶💔
The flag pole is a nice addition, and the garden area looks fantastic with the garden cloth down, really cleans it up and looks good. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Hello my loving family from the rainy eastern Kentucky mountains!!! Looks like a busy week there but man what a difference those small changes made!!
Today my oldest granddaughter graduates college with a degree in applied science and cosmetology…She’s only 18.!! She graduated high school early and went straight into college and I’m so proud of her!! She been on the deans list every semester the last 2 years and is graduating with honors!!! My heart is full of pride and joy❤️!!
Sending each of you lots of love and prayers and I’ll see ya next Saturday for brunch again🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I think it's cosmology
@@maryeliason1504 no its cosmetology. She can cut hair, do nails, eyelashes, and a whole array of other services!! She graduated with honors and I’m so proud of her❤️
Kymani with a lawn mower and whipper snipper could have the orchard under control in no time. A well manicured lawn in there would look lovely.
Mother Clucker. Hysterical!
Absolutely!
We say mother trucker
I ENJOYED This Video So Very Very Much ❤!!! All Of Your Beautiful Animals And Your Amazing Children. Then The Fantastic Scenery!!! I Adore How Playful The Two Of You Are As A Couple Melissa And Jeremy Even When Working So Hard 💕. I'm Excited To Watch You Plant And Grow Your Garden 🥕🫑🌽🍈🍅🥔🫛!!! I Find Digging In The Soil So Enriching And Soul Nourishing. Your Flag Pole Is Fabulous 🇺🇸!!! I Look Forward To Saturdays For One Reason Because Of Your Videos.

Another great video! Loved everything about it & many folks posted good comments! Love & Prayers, Carrie from CA ❤🙏❤️
Love the flagpole… have started using cardboard and mulch for weed control and it works so well! Thank you for all you do for this community
PROGRESS IS PROGRESS, HAVE A GREAT WEEK, AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.
Thank God for horse husband's!! 🐎 🙏
A lot of people use a torch on the landscape fabric so it doesn't unravel.
Love the flagpole..perhaps a solar light at the top to shine down on Old Glory so you can fly at night
The garden will look fabulous when completed. Such a helpful family you have got Melissa, and the patience that you have with the horses. Lots of love from the UK 🇬🇧😘😘😘😘
Oh wow. Everything on the property looks great. You're doing a fantastic job.
Thank you so much!
Pam here….all that weed fabric is so much work to install and upkeep. We put regular lawn in between out beds. We mow and trim with the trimmer. So much neater, and I can maintain my garden boxes barefoot with soft grass underfoot. But my boxes are 2 ft h 4ft wide and 8-20ft long. So much easier on the back to plant, harves and maintain.
Same here! The weeds do not grow up through the weed block. The seeds land on top of the much. From the wind and mowing
Amen
I LOVE EM RAISED😍
YOU ARE SO RIGHT HOW IT SIMPLIFIES EVERYTHING 🛡️
SO MUCH MORE PLEASANT WHEN BEDS ARE RAISED AT LEAST TWO FEET
I am not local, so I can't come by and measure the barn for gutters. But, if you happen to have the measurements then I can give you a quote. The company I work with is nationwide. So I can get it done for you quick!
Looks great, you could cover the fabric in stone.
Good Job I love watching your videos. you are awesome family. God bless.
For best results, you should burn the weed barrier to cut it so the edges are cauterized.
FYI..Burning the edges, instead of cutting, helps with the fray.
Hand torch. I use mine to burn weeds growing in the street and the neighbor's crabgrass when it attaches in my bed.
Yea, I was going to say use a little torch, to make the cuts
Also don't put mulch on top of ground cover its turns to dirt, I sugest some coler of rock.
yup burn don't cut works great
Yes, every time you cut it I was yelling NOOOOOOO! Burn it and it will last soo much longer. Won’t fray. 😊
Here in England we are garden fanatics. It is the single most popular hobby. Through many trials and experiments we have found certain ones are phenomenal.
One of the most powerful homemade weed killers is by mixing vinegar, salt, and washing up liquid. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which acts as a desiccant, drawing moisture out of plant leaves, while salt dehydrates the plant further and washing up liquid helps the solution adhere to the weeds. I use a high pressure sprayer. It works and is not harmful to the wildlife. Salt is not a slug friend just saying. It needs to be sprayed on dry leaves and never after rain
Yes, it works great but it must be put on a dry terrain or plant, that is correct as I’ve used it to kill out thorny stickers at my RV site in Texas, so thankful!
all that moisture in the doorways of the barn is coming off the roof, there's not grass there so it stays wet. You need rain gutters to take the water elsewhere.
Yep, household, livestock and gardening chores are never ending! Like stringing beads with no knot in the end!
other shows using the cloth burn the edges so they don't fray
Yay! Such a great job on the garden, looking forward to the orchard!!! Melissa, you are great with the horses.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The weed block coverup looks great, it’ll be nice you won’t have to fight the grass and weeds. Where do you start your seedlings? Can’t wait to see your gardens get started. Nice flagpole!
Thank you family for the new vlog. As a good citizen of the USA, I love the flagpole... Good alternative to avoid weeds. Thank you for so many good tips for a better quality of life. Blessings 🙏
When I built in a 55+ community in 2007, I decided that 55+ gardening was a “thing”…used weed fabric everywhere and have never regretted that move!!!! Nothing like a little investment paying great rewards!!❤
You and your family are always teaching your supporters something. Thank you for sharing your videos with us.
If you find the mulch and stall mats do not solve your water issues… try removing the wet material and replacing with limestone fines AKA rock dust or screenings. When it gets wet and drys eventually gets hard and if sloped correctly will shed water.
Our county landfill uses sawdust from a sawmill when it’s really muddy and I was really shocked at how well it worked for cars and backhoes to drive thru over and over.
Use a hand held torch to burn the ends and they will not fray. Watched this on many channels. It works.
I sure miss the energy you guys have with all your projects. When I was 40, I LOVED being outside and working on the acreage...but now as I am pushing 60, my energy level is much less and all the chores I used to love, are now just chores that end up leaving me sore and exhausted lol. I dont know how many more years I will be able to handle all the work on my acreage, but it sure brings back great memories of when I had your energy levels. We had snow again last week, but up to +16c here today and into the 20s for next week...so we can finally start planting. The place looks great and you`ll love not having to try to keep up with the weeds in the garden area. Great idea laying down that black poly to keep the weeds at bay. The place is looking so nice guys. Keep up the great work and I cant wait to see the flag flying proudly! As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.
Hello from 🇨🇦. I use the pins and I have found that if you poke them in and then change your mind on the pins being in that place you will have small holes. I use black duct tape over the holes, no weeds come through
May the lord bless and protect you and your family working on the homestead
Good 👍 getting beautiful ground cover for your 🐎🐎 and garden 👍💞
Always something that needs done. Going to be beautiful in a beautiful country. Many kudos to you for installing the flag pole.👍👍
GOOD MORNING TO MY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ❤❤❤❤.
Good morning!
Good morning back a you in Idaho. I'm watching you from South Carolina in a town called Aiken
Good morning beautiful Souza family! Hope that black plastic leave the water go through! So sad to see plastic on such nice place, maybe you can grow grass and it would look beautiful 🤷🏼♀️ Blue definitely loves the camera jajajaja He's such a sweetheart, giving kisses to Kira❣️
Good Afternoon 😂
Looking goods Souza family. The horses are so beautiful
Your little one is so cute and involved. He is adorable
“0’kay Ma Ma” my favorite way Jeremy addresses you❤ Garden is beautiful!!Growing up on a 100 acre farm I appreciate the everyday work that happens on the homestead. We grew acres of food & raised acres of meat & poultry & pork. Lol. I used to think ev1 had an acre to weed in their gardens! 💕 you all 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
All gave some but some gave ALL!! Thank you to the veterans and their families! Once again I find myself posting a huge THANK YOU to your channel content!!
Yes, it’s good. So enjoy watching your family work & play together. your property is beautiful !!
♥️ Great to see the flagpole 🇺🇸
Much respect! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful videos and your heartfelt words spoken at the end of each. Your thoughts have touched my soul 🌸and many around the world. FYI: the black stall mats are perceived as deep holes. Covering them with straw help eliminate that illusion. Might think of back blading underneath them first. Just trying to be of help 💗 Always such a joy to watch both your channels! ♥️🐾👍
Love the Stand Roosevelt 25' I have one here and bought one for our sons house he bought for house warming!
It's really looking nice. Flag pole is a great accent to the home and property. Another job well done. I enjoy y'all's videos. Family oriented and y'all work great together. ❤❤❤❤❤ Everything y'all do just brings out y'all's homestead as I call it. Continued daily progress on y'all's property. Y'all are progressing more and more.❤❤
When the mats freeze - what’s the plan? Ice skating?
Wow so many projects done!! 🎉❤🎉
A home always needs a flag pole, a nice addition Jeremy and Melissa. That weed fabric will help a lot. Another lovely video and may you have a lovely week.
The black pole looks really sharp ours is silver and I all ready decided if anything happens to that pole the replacement will be black! Looks wonderful! 🇺🇸
The garden area looks 1000 times better with that covering, money and time well spent.
What a wonderful home your family has made. Your children are going to look back on this with happy memories. Your family is such a blessing to watch. Great Video as Always. Did everyone see that view ( Beautiful)
I have always used the woven weed fabric but it will unravel if you cut it so I always use a butane torch to cut and seal the edges and it never unravels!
LOVE the look of your garden and I know you will love the reduced maintenance! Eventually, you will want to pour a sloped cement floor in you barn. It will direct drainage away from the building and make it much easier to muck out.
What a team y’all make! Amazing talent together! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯
When weve placed plants along our roadway area, I've walked along in both directions, both directions into and out of the driveway, and more to see what they're going to look like at all the angles; from walking height and crouched car height of course. The other half is "thrilled" to join me.
Wonderful episode!!! So glad to see the flagpole going up!!! God bless each of you!!!
God Bless You!! YAYYY!! 🌞💛🌻
The garden looks great ,good job Kamanii
I have massive auger envy. I could use it for about two hours to fix our split rail fence. Looks great, guys. Garden/flagpole!
Nice upgrade to the garden. My spouse complains about cutting the back yard so I offered to make it where he never had to cut again. The weed fabric has been ordered and just waiting on it to arrive and then we will have an entire back yard garden. 👍👍❤❤😂😂
Traditional guidelines call for displaying the flag in public only from sunrise to sunset. However, the flag may be displayed at all times if it's illuminated during darkness.❤
I hope you are planning on adding red rubber mulch to cover the weed fabric. Between the green plants and red mulch/black soil makes gardens look so gorgeous.
Flagpole, wonderful. With garden order bit by bit square trampoline matting. I used old one in a garden bed and have not had a weed in ten years, or those big thick mats you used for horses way better than cloth 😊😅
My neighbor hates mowing so she got black plastic and is mulching and planting flowers.
(OP) Please read. I worked open quarry mine for 37 years. Periodically we would change the conveyor belt. Waste to the mine. A woman came in and asked if she could have some for her horses as a floor. We had some of various thickness and the thicker ones were perfect for her animals. Some thinner ones were perfect for ground cover. If you have an open quarry mine near you, you may be able to get what you need for free.
And the garden is impressive! Flagpole too.😊
Glad to see you are getting to do some outside projects. You have such a beautiful place to live, but I don't think I could take 30 below 🥶 winters. Have a great week.
Finally! now its officially a home! good job
So happy to see your flag pole go up. Here in Australia there h a s been some problems with proudly displaying our flag.
Great job on the garden. Kira lovingly placing flowers on Kenji's resting place is so sad. 🐾💕
Horses can be such babies some times, that big scary mating. My thoroughbred used to be scared of his shadow, which made for some interesting side stepping at times 💜💜💜
Lexon also fears his shadow. Super fun while trying to ride on a sunny day
Your first project of the vlog brought a tear to my eye. SO glad to soon see our flag waving in the air of respect. Land of the FREE and home of the brave. Thank you to all the veterans 🇺🇸
Better to burn the edge of the garden fabric than to cut it. 😉
🎉🎉🎉. My Wife and i live on one acre of land in California and our dream is to a mini version of what you guys have. I’m retired and my wife will retire soon. So I think that we could do a lot of this on our one acre.
I’m loving each and every video you guys put out. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos 🙏❤️😊❗️
Wow ,I really need to get a flagpole ,I have only wanted one for Thirty years, we are just coming into Winter here,Everything is really looking great at on your property.
Using a torch to cut will stop the fraying.
Excited to see Old Glory fly high. Now you need some lighting on it. The garden is beautiful and so much easier to control weeds.
I had that problem with our dog would not walk on new tile we got, she was so scared of it. It took a few weeks.
Love ALL the "projects" y'all are continuing to tackle WITH each other and working hard every day to get them done!! It's so fulfilling to watch and glean from yr channel of such love & support, hard work & structure in EVERYthing you do!! But the video & editing you do Melissa, as I always say, is impeccably incredible! God bless!! ❤😊
And yes, as a Veteran myself, the raised flag is awesome!! Thank you! 😊😊😊
I save every video; it'll help me re-watch them as I get older, as needed!!
We use DeWitt pro5 cloth. It’s what all the commercial nurseries/greenhouses use.
I love your videos that show your garden! I love what you do with it-and it's so fun to watch you accomplish your other chores as well. Fun, relaxing video (at least for us, for you guys...not so much! LOL!)..Love from MN.
Like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Love the raised beds and efforts to establish a border outside the fence. Saves on string trimming close to the wire fence!
Garden looks awesome. I love Jeremy's whining. So funny. You guys are precious.
Ruttrow!! You just created a great home for snakes in your garden with all the fabric you installed. Watch where you step!
You and your family are always teaching your supporters something. Thank you
When I saw the hole and the pole, my first thought was, I sure hope they’re putting up a flag. So blessed to see that you are. I have one in my front yard not that tall at all but every time I see the wind blowing it. It makes my heart happy.
We use this nice little solution that makes it easy to get the flagpole raised or lowered when needed by adding a tipping point where the pole meets the ground. It's done with two solid holders side by side locked into cement and just far enough between them to fit the flagpole. Then the pole is connected through and trough both sides close to the bottom, and at the top of the holders there's this holder band that holds the pole straight when raised. When this is done right, is so easy to get the flagpole up or down and even replaced if needed. And no holes in the ground is needed which means no dirt collector either and it also means that grass can grow all over around the flagpole so that it looks very very nice.
Years ago, my dad and me set that up, so that it would be as easy as it could be, but to get it done we had to bike through town on two bicycles holding each end of a 15 meter flagpole. The funny thing about it that flagpole used a trick to hold most of the flag hoist solution inside so that the wind wouldn't slam it into the flagpole and make noise. It was all done so that it looked like only one one line would go up and down holding the flag. And using the right pull line made it so that there were very little noise compared with how the old solution was.
For some reason, I haven't seen such solution only partly anywhere else, but with how things have changed since then there are a lot I don't know about such things. :D
Good job!.... use a torch on frayed ends/ sides
Eli is one happy kid that enjoys his up bringing
Always enjoy your family videos and your summary voice over💖🌞👑✝️😃
WOW GETTING ALOT DONE TODAY GLAD YOU SHARED WITH ALL OF US LOVE SEEING HOW THE FAMILY PLANS THEIR DAY ==GREAT VIDO AND WONDERFULL FAMILY I LOVE YOU ALL 💖💖💖
Don’t get rid of the grass in the orchard. Plant wildflowers and grasses indigenous to your area. It will bring in insects that will help pollinate your fruit trees. There have been numerous studies done here in Australia that show productivity is improved by allowing native grasses and plants to flourish under fruit trees and vines
The kids are going up so fast. Love seeing them. You have a beautiful family.
'Mother clucker' 🤣🤣🤣 Too funny!! And I always enjoy your messages Melissa at the end. Purpose is critical, as we are all here for a purpose and it is what moves us forward 😊
A hand torch to trim works great.
Amazing job around the yard to make it look beautiful
Looks really good and clean and easy to maintain. Well done, and next spring will be much easier to start the garden., NICE
If you use a torch to cut the ground fabric it will not fray, and makes a nice clean edge.
Love your beautiful home and your property!
Thank You for sharing your lives with us ❤
Actually Jeremy, the weed block does look good! 😅 The family around the fire burning marshmallows was beautiful! 😊❤ Love ya'll ❤️
A friend of mine used that landscape fabric and left it exposed in her garden. What she noticed is because it’s black it attracts heat and she is able to plant earlier. Food for thought. Maybe that could help you plant earlier too.
