I keep thinking and watching every week thinking that this will be the one we get to say happy birthday little person sprout. Praying for an easy delivery and recovery and healthy baby.
I KNOW!?!? There were no tomatoes in the greenhouse when this was filmed! 😊 Almost like they filmed it for "the" day. So excited I am about to bust! 😂
@@bigsky5102I never even noticed that ! Such a good catch, also there was no date on the intro
Right!! She is gonna pop lol I can't wait for the baby. Meg is the absolute cutest pregnant woman ever..
Meg, My husband heard me commenting on your Green Stalks. I've been wanting Greenstalks for years but timing wasn't right. My husband went in our bedroom, and grabbed his credit card. Came out to the kitchen and said happy mothers day....order yourself 2 Green Stalks, and 2 spinner bases. I placed an order for 2, and can't wait to get them. Thank you for the discoumt code.
What a great husband!
can we just take a moment to acknowledge how amazing your sons are. Over the years (long time subscriber). They have become a. part of your You tube journey. and are now acting out Wes Anderson level skills of appearing in the background. The first minute of this video is testament to that. love and best. wishes to all of you, from a tiny corner of South East UK.
They are amazing young men😊so helpful !
They never whine or fight or beg for stuff. As long as Mom feeds them and Dad, let's them work in the shop, they are happy. Kids are so spoiled today. They are so refreshing to watch.
I agree even Bugsy is such big help.
Buggy is a little doll. So sweet.❤
i'd like to take a moment and say how amazing being pregnant must be !! we guys don't understand
I know im not the only one who thinks Meg is having more than one sweet baby ? Cant wait to see the newest member of your family .
I have thought the same !
Same here 👶👶👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I think it’s a girl🤰🏻🙏🏼
I have twins too, same thoughts, that would be 2 sets of twins for them! I’m so excited for them! Such a wonderful family, I’ve learned a lot from them! God bless from East Tennessee!
Meggggg, watching you getting up and down, bending, uggggg, I’m remembering my last months of all of my pregnancies when I prayed to God please don’t let me cough or sneeze or go too fast over a speed bump in the car. You are in amazing shape. I’m praying now for your comfort and good rest this month. 😊
Right I don't even have kids and can't squat like her 🤣🤣 my knee died in the 90s with freaknik
Buggie has grown so much in the last few months. She is not a baby anymore! Blessings to. you all!
Buggy is so cute. You guys are great parents. Meg, you’re quiet about it, but I know being so pregnant makes everything, including breathing, much harder. Ben, keep taking care of her. Y’all are a good team.
A tip on the greenstalks.... I HOPE you guys don't mind me giving you tips. I really like helping make it easier on people. I took mine apart last year and didn't pay any attention to those little watering things in the middle of each one of the planting things. Some of my holes aren't getting water because those tiny holes in each tier of watering is stopped up with soil. So when I redo it I gotta clean out those little holes.
I was actually wondering if that could be an issue. Thanks!!
Buggy watering the strawberries made my mom heart smile. What a cute little gardener!
Same 🥰
I've been watching y'all for years. Met my fiance 2 years ago and introduced him to y'all. Now he gets mad if I watch an episode without him. Last year we got two goat and this year got chicks. Looking to purchase some land. Possibly looking to get 25 arce now. Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us. Biggest blessing to your whole family. 💜
Buggy is a natural gardener. It’s so great to see her wanting to put her hands in and asking great questions.
Buggy is a natural-born KZheadr. I love the blue, Green Stalk for its pop of color.
@tobycat ... That is exactly what Buggy is - she was born into youtube!😊
I just love the Hollars. Wonderful to see Meg out of the kitchen and to see Millie the cat lounging while Ben and Buggy help Meg. Be safe and God bless all of you.
I love millie the cat!!
I love Millie the cat!!
Buggie waters Millie cat! 🤣 Gotta get video of that going down. She gonna be a helpful and entertaining big sis to the littlest Hollar. Be blessed y'all. Jesus rules!
I enjoy Ben and Meg working together. Emphasis together. Happily anticipating the arrival of the newest member of the Hollar family.
One of my earliest memories is sitting in the dirt next to my dad as he was planting in the garden.
same here, but was with my Mom (and the other early memory is riding the vacuum cleaner as she cleaned...lol)
Buggie is a very good helper.
Cilantro doesn’t like anybody. Don’t feel bad.
Cilantro grows when its less than 70’s but mostly above freezing. Early spring and late fall
Thank you, I needed that!
I dont like cilantro right back. I have the soap tasting gene. It’s so bad 😂😂😂😂 Smells fresh and looks good , but I could just as well take a mouthful of Irish spring..
Try a layer of sand on top of the soil… slugs hate sand!
Thanks for real life and family times.
Buggy is the founder of a new pre-schooler age Future Farmers with a one word motto - “Grow! “ LOL . Seriously- she knows tons about cooking and gardening and farming and she is not yet school age. You all are amazing! God bless!
Meg you are the cutest pregnant lady I have ever seen, I am short and had big babies and carried really high so I felt like they were kicking my ribs out, you look wonderful
Buggy needs an endorsement deal with Stark bros.
Ah, Meg! You are awesome and inspire my 62-year-old self!❤
We in Trinidad love Qulantro .My dearest Meg as a utube granny my blessings and protection to you and your family and I can't wait for the new arrival .I fell is a 👧 girl . ❤❤❤❤
I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!
What a sweet little helper you’ve got! Your property has come so far, it’s so neat to see the progress! Hope you got a good rest after such a busy day 😁
I too, love watching your precious children working with you from the oldest to the youngest!
Hello Hollar family, my grandmom always had extra sweet basil in her garden… she used it in her tomato gravy and her pesto sauce was amazing… I miss her every day
What a precious gift you are giving to buggy and the boys,
Meg is a hard worker!
Your African blue will be beautiful, with sun and water big and bushy.
It's beautiful, and lots of bees will be very, very happy. But not really the tastiest basil, I've found. I ended up leaving it to the bees.
Awesome fun day. Now go put your feet up.❤
Get finished painting the side of the well house white to reflect the sun for your strawberries.
It’s amazing how much a little paint can change things.
I think they just painted a green because it was white before
Meg,I think you are getting all your ducks in a row. You look amazing and I hope you continue to bloom. Buggy is a little diamond and so cute. She has gotten so big and learned so much. She is a lovely little girl, full of chat and ideas. Ben is looking after you very well and making sure you don’t over do it although. Don’t know how you manage to be squatting down doing all your planting. Having said that, it should make for an easier labour. Thinking of you every day. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My favorite parts of this vlog are.. 1.” There we go.” Said by all within one minute. 2. Buggy asking about the chamomile and if it can be eaten, and when told that it’s used for tea, she gave a good head in agreement and understanding. 3. That Meg is totally rocking third trimester of pregnancy! 👏
*head nod*
i can't wait to see the new baby!
A little tip I saw on KZhead for small seeds - carrot seeds mixed with sand in a seasoning bottle made it very easy to sprinkle out evenly. Worked perfectly when I tried it.
Hope, you'll get the pink one for Buggie. Then, she can plant all the dream seeds. Great blog. Baby, looks well and coming soon. Love, praying SE MICHIGAN 🙏
It's the newest thing in culinary advancement. Coriander tacos. 😋 Slugs LOVE yellow, so look up the yellow solo cup in the garden to attract slugs over there, then place the cup where the chickens can enjoy.
New potatoes, snow peas, and lots of butter...yum!
When I was setting up my greenstalks this weekend I kept getting pestered by some punkies, what we northerners call those soil gnats that emerge early in spring. They love to divebomb your face while working in the garden. After about 10 minutes of swatting, I grabbed a few leaves for lemon balm and rubbed it over my face, releasing that citrusy oil. Never had another punky after that. Remembered doing it last year to keep the mosquitoes off me while picking beans. Lemon balm is a bully, being a member of the mint family, but it sure has a great plus side in pest control. Buggy is adorable!
I did not know that! I did know someone who pinned on each shoulder a dryer sheet to keep the bugs away. Seemed to work for her. Have a lovely day.
Buggy is going to be a great gardener!!!❤
I just ordered my first GREENSTALK! I’m so excited. I ordered the pink basketweave with the wheels. Great sale added with your code! Thank you. I’ve been wanting to do this for several years now! Happy Mothers Day!
Very good planting and you have good helper, all family together
I love my Greenstalks so much! I see you all couldn't resist the limited availability of the blue one. Same!
Buggy really is so intelligent, and so absorbative of aallllll the plant knowledge. It's fun watching her become a professional botanist 😊
I find myself watching your "reruns" whilst on baby watch.. ❤
Beautiful Hollar family ❤❤❤ xjx
I thought you were going to have an herb garden at the end of the house?
Mission Accomplished ! Happy Family, Happy Life ! ❤️ You Guys are Such Great Parents ! You have raised Such Upstanding Young Men, Buggy is growing up, you are expecting another Baby Girl, the Big Brothers will be Looking out for their Little Sisters . It's refreshing to see Buggy asking Meg where the Chamomile should be planted , and watch this new feminine energy /addition of Both Girls to the Family Unit and see you guys transformed into a very well balanced unit in the Future. Everything for you guys happened exactly when it should have happened. You had to Step Into the Wilderness, and You've Made it to a different place and life ❣️ Thank You for Sharing Your Journey With all of Us. It took a lot of Gumption. Proud of You Two !! 😘
Ben if cilantro bolts you just have coriander.
Cilantro likes cool weather.
Ben can get you one for Mother’s Day! She deserves a wonderful gift!
Millie is definitely supervising all of the planting operations!
Potatoes in the Greenstalk! What a great idea!! Also, I've grown African Blue Basil for years. The bees love it, and it gets huge, like 3ftx3ft..so you may want to put it in your garden. Lavender hates to be watered, because it's Mediterranean. I've killed it for years, and now ignore it, and it does great! I actually found a cilantro that did great in my SC heat! I'd be happy to send you some seeds if you want to give it a try there.
Everything looking great! Blessings. 🙏❤️👍
Your kitty is the same color as my Gus. He likes to be in the garden with me. Talks to me the whole time. I enjoy him so much. ❤😊
Smelly diiiiil, thanks buggy❤❤
Bolted cilantro seeds are coriander seeds! You can eat both.
You two are soooo amazing as a couple,but as parents. WOW.We as your fan base,have sooo much Respect for you both.Thank you,for being the real heart of true hard working Americans ❤️ That old school,our country was based on.WTG,Tyvm
Buggy waters the cat 😂😂😂😂😂 how funny!
Hi guys just wanted to give you a heads up that RuthAnn Zimmerman (Homesteading with the Zimmermans) just put up an Old Mennonite recipe for moth trap attractant/killer for fruit trees! Jason was asking on Homestead Shop talk! Hope it is helpful to ya’ll! There ya go! 💖😉Peace and blessings!
Sprinkle coffee grounds where you don't want slugs. It works really well
Thank you for the discount code. I bought two green stalks. One for me and one for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. Love, love, love your channel and your family.
Your children are getting such a great education for life ! Amazing to hear the interaction with each other. They have been Blessed . Your daughter is just beautiful and adorable to listen to. " I grew up in a flower garden my father and mother loved , my Mom always made baskets of herbs. . My memories of childhood memories are daily filled with beautiful childhood memories ❤️ at 68 years young .🕊️ Can't wait to see that baby in the oven. Meg your all baby only. you are so flexible and strong . Prayer for your family 💗🙏.Thanks for sharing.👍
I was hoping to see the boys helping you plant the herbs in your herb garden.
Someone nesting! lol! Can’t wait for this little girl to arrive! You could name her Debbie! I wouldn’t mind 😂😂😂
Blessings on the Hollar Family Homestead! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿
Ok Meg… you only have one more day to birth that baby so it can be born on my birthday. No pressure… lol. Loved watching Buggy watering the greenstalk with her little watering can. She is so adorable
I think we just did the same as others!!! I JUST BOUGHT TWO 5-TIER WITH TWO SPLINNER BASES!!!!
Meg looks stunning in her pregnancy. Gorgeous. What a great Mom she is…both parents for that matter. Best wishes for a smooth delivery, girl! I don’t know if you know which gender you’re having but I’ve got my fingers crossed for a little sister. 😊
milly & friend probably do their best work in the dark! So during the day they get to be with you as you garden.😊
Oh my goodness Meg! 🥰 I so remember your place! I feel ya! Even though my last baby was born in 1977 😳! Treasure this time in your life!
Your strawberries look so wonderful & healthy! I have a horrible problem with Basil- read a lot cut back on watering & still black leaves!! 🤯🤷♀️
Woohoo. Indiana long time fan❤️. Love your videos, and want to say thank you for the Green Stalk garden discount code. They have great Mother’s Day sale now so I’m indulging in a 5 tier planter and swivel base. Many blessings, good health and happiness to your family.
Meg I love that you're Killin it pregnant! I was 33 for my last (had my previous babies at 19 & 22) and rocked it!!! I built 3 decks, a series of handicap ramps and a mudroom in last month and a half of that pregnancy (put my tools away Friday afternoon had him Saturday morning🤪). My Mom had become paralyzed from spinal cancer just before I found out about my surprise baby...the decks/ramps at her house and mine we absolutely necessary and I had a feeling the baby was going to be very limiting BOY was I right, he was my most difficult little but turned into an amazing man🤩
Meg, you look like your having a good sized boy! I say that also because I think your hormones are different from you were pregnant with Buggy. But, only you know cuz you’ve had enough experience to know 😌. Looking forward to the new blessing to arrive! ♥️
I Love how your property has grown from all your hard work and attention ❤❤👀👀
My SIL graveled (digging new potatoes from the "hill" is called graveling) potatoes from Mom and Dad's garden while they/we were at the beach (all summer at Myrtle Beach camping in a 36', from school letting out until school started back! Man, we had a great childhood!) When it was time to dig up the potatoes, there were none! She had harvested them all over the season and we were left with plants and no taters. She was teased mercilessly until my mother passed.
Mascot Millie sunning and Buggy planting in the Green Stalk. Such a great time of year. Meg is almost there! ❤
Buggy is beautiful
I love watching your content and really appreciate the date you put in. It does get annoying not knowing the date the vlog is being done. Thank you. And Mag you look great.
It’s always an adventure watching your homestead grow and change
Love everyone.. can’t wait to see your deck done..& when is your newest member coming 🎉❤ Where did you get your planters things please..
You should plant some catnip for Millie. Don't dig up the potato plant just scratch around with your hands, then you can harvest each plant twice.
Right! We always used a dinner fork and scratched around the surface for new potatoes. The main plant isn't harmed at all. We always called that scratching around the dirt "gravel for potatoes". We ate new potatoes that way all summer til we dug them all up in August.
Really! I have never heard that!
I have catnip on the lowest level of my greenstalk and my cats completely ignore it until I pick it for them. 😂
Orange cat has the right idea.
Potatoes are not ready until the plants die back. When they flower they are STARTING to make potatoes. Your potato plants look very healthy and are just starting to flower. Best to leave them alone.
I love the green stocks very cool. I wish Megs was cooking that is my favorite part of your videos.
Love Meg cooking
Planted strawberries last year and, hallelujah, started picking the last day of April. I'm in southern Indiana. Guess this is way early.
The strawberries look great ❤
Tks for video. Looking forward to new baby. My b day is May 27 , I will be 64 . Until next time. Much love to all ya.
Ben she needs that basket weave greenstalk for mothers day for sure its very pretty hugssss
I’m in California and I have found (in Monterey) the secret to cilantro is to plant and grow it in the cooler months before the heat comes. Good luck!
Meg You look great God bless you sweetheart🙏 Linda from Ct
I need to order a green stock thingy . Love that buggie is learning like all the time.
She is the cutest little sponge ever!!!❤
Best description ever "Like Legos for gardeners" 😅❤
Thank you for showing how to plant the greenstalk! I just got my first one for Christmas this year! It’s the pretty blue one and I am excited to start planting in it this year! Your herbs and strawberries look amazing! Love seeing Buggy help her mama plant! You’re raising another little gardener! Love Spring for all the fun things we get to plant!
Thanks Hollar10!! I ordered a Green Stalk!! Cherry Blossom pink this year! Beautiful color! Can’t wait!
Oh buggy you made me laugh. Great family really enjoy your vlogs
I just ordered my first 2 greenstalks! I used your code. Thanks so much for sharing these. May God continue to bless your family 🙏❤️
Hi, awesome video! Buggy is so cute!❤
