[00:00:00]Good morning, you beautiful people.

[00:00:03]>> [laughter] >> Good morning, Lisa.

[00:00:05]>> Good morning.

[00:00:06]So, up.

[00:00:09]Hey. Milk the sheep.

[00:00:14]Morning, Brenda. Brenda.

[00:00:16]Really, you're getting big.

[00:00:18]>> Good morning, young lady. Hi.

[00:00:21]Aw.

[00:00:23]Good morning. Yes, it's a new voice you don't you recognize.

[00:00:28]So, I rushed off the farm this morning quickly needing to take a um pig to people that's driving towards Cornell.

[00:00:35]And so, Lisa and uh Juanita farmed alone. The area where I'm at now is called the right community of Otjiwarongo.

[00:00:43]I know my German suck. Lisa is laughing in the background.

[00:00:47]>> [laughter] >> Well, it's basically the right club.

[00:00:50]And so, this is an area that Lisa and I saw a little bit earlier. And there's a giant prickly pear that fell over.

[00:00:58]And uh quickly want to pick that up.

[00:01:03]We were told that it was had fallen over because of termites eating it. But I suspect that it might also just be a giant storm.

[00:01:13]So, this is the three people that's going to be braving it out.

[00:01:18]This is it. He says it doesn't uh carry that much fruit.

[00:01:22]But it does grow like crazy. So, I think it just became very very heavy.

[00:01:27]And started as it started making roots.

[00:01:30]You see?

[00:01:32]Starting like making roots.

[00:01:35]There. How nice is that? It's been laying down here obviously for a while.

[00:01:39]You can see uh the whole branch came out.

[00:01:43]All of that. So, there's probably about 100 trees maybe more here.

[00:01:48]And this will serve well for the new food forest.

[00:01:52]There's also plenty of this uh I want to say indigenous uh ones that the people really don't want us to use.

[00:02:05]So, but you all will leave those ones.

[00:02:07]And then Lisa and I we are working on getting all of this mulch and that's manure over um to the farm to see if we can actually use it. So, we're working on a price and then we're working on transport to see if we can move this mountain.

[00:02:25]There. Okay. So, let me show you our hole.

[00:02:30]Our hole hole.

[00:02:33]That's one of the other English words that I struggle to pronounce correctly.

[00:02:37]So, this is the last of it.

[00:02:42]Uh this is what we've got.

[00:02:46]A whole bucket full of prickly pear. I almost missed that.

[00:02:52]So, I just got home.

[00:02:54]And Poopoo is is here with some nice gifts.

[00:03:01]Over the next couple of days I'm going to show you what we're going to build here. So, you really need to subscribe.

[00:03:06]Uh lever gates and roof panels and all sorts of interesting things. There is some barbed wire there. Looky.

[00:03:17]You must be very careful if you These things break easily, ne?

[00:03:22]It's plastic. They break very easily. Be very very careful.

[00:03:27]Okay.

[00:03:29]And then on this side the donkeys are coming back.

[00:03:33]We loaded them at the place where we loaded the prickly pears.

[00:03:38]Uh we loaded donkeys as well.

[00:03:40]Now um So, such a cool thing about technology is my wife did a competition this morning.

[00:03:47]There was nobody else there.

[00:03:49]Um but she rode against hundreds of other people. She went to the RGO somebody that filmed her test dressage test.

[00:03:57]And they send that in and the judges decide who is the winner globally. And that competition only cost next to nothing.

[00:04:05]So, that's quite a cool thing I think about um technology these days.

[00:04:11]All right. So, boy, don't break it too much.

[00:04:15]We're putting the prickly pears in the shade for a couple of days.

[00:04:19]Just so that the wounds can heal. See, there's wounds. You want them to dry out before you plant it.

[00:04:26]Let's have a look at our babies.

[00:04:30]Where is the mama?

[00:04:31]You need a little bit of mulch, ne, for your babies.

[00:04:35]Yeah, I think so.

[00:04:40]Hello, mamas.

[00:04:41]Hello, babies.

[00:04:45]Hello, Spot.

[00:04:47]Or bits of bacon.

[00:04:49]Or I'm not sure.

[00:04:51]What should I call you?

[00:04:53]There's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 here.

[00:04:58]How many babies here and then there's 10 here.

[00:05:01]But this this one had more pig.

[00:05:05]Let me count again. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.

[00:05:10]So, I ain't never actually seen these babies before. I just arrived.

[00:05:16]Um Vitellus.

[00:05:18]There's one stuck in the fence there.

[00:05:21]He climbed through. There's one baby that went through. Climb uh Go out around and and and push them and then we must put mulch in here.

[00:05:33]Make it a nice nest, ne?

[00:05:35]She needs a nest. That poor baby is stuck. Bring him around. Take him out and bring him around.

[00:05:41]Hello.

[00:05:45]Softly, softly. That's right.

[00:05:47]Okay, we need to make that thing better so they don't come through.

[00:05:51]Now, the bigger ones couldn't, but the babies they are sneaky sneaky raccoons.

[00:05:55]Okay.

[00:05:57]So, now because I wasn't here yesterday, I quickly have to go and fetch pig food.

[00:06:03]So, this day doesn't want to get an end.

[00:06:05]I've been busy busy. Very nice.

[00:06:08]Okay. So, because we're a day late we're getting a full maybe because it's also a long weekend.

[00:06:16]Getting loads and loads and loads of extra food.

[00:06:21]So, the bakkie is full.

[00:06:24]This is full.

[00:06:26]And there's how many seeds that we can harvest from here?

[00:06:30]How many seeds that we can harvest from here?

[00:06:33]Just imagine that.

[00:06:38]It's flowers and vegetables and Yeah.

[00:06:41]potatoes and lettuce and stuff to me.

[00:06:45]Look at that.

[00:06:47]Really been coming down.

[00:06:50]Amazing.

[00:06:52]Okay. So, we ended up getting that grass over there um for the for the piggy. And then while we were at it, Morimi, you can load.

[00:07:00]It's fine.

[00:07:01]While we were doing pig food, Morimi, ended up getting some grass for the horses.

[00:07:08]Yeah.

[00:07:10]So, So, this is this is quite a stack of grass. Full of pig food.

[00:07:21]Full of mulch for the um full of mulch for the for the mama pig. And then two big bags of grass.

[00:07:29]That needs big price on it.

[00:07:32]That's quite cool.

[00:07:34]Blessings upon blessings. And now to hold it up, eh?

[00:07:38]That's the next trick.

[00:07:40]So, apparently right after they were born. This is where the number discrepancy comes off out. She laid on top of three of them and three of them passed away.

[00:07:50]So, that's why I said yesterday there was 11 and now there's only eight.

[00:07:54]So, three of them were laid upon passed away.

[00:08:00]Uh so, that you don't want. It's a wait-a-bit tree, man. You can't Don't go and close to a wait-a-bit tree.

[00:08:06]He's going to Look uh Johannes. You put the grass. Okay.

[00:08:12]And there's a movie.

[00:08:13]That is a wait-a-bit tree. Don't go close to a wait-a-bit tree. So, that is a wait-a-bit tree.

[00:08:20]Uh Philly.

[00:08:23]The babies are running around outside.

[00:08:31]Okay.

[00:08:32]We don't want that.

[00:08:34]They don't want it to wait a bit.

[00:08:36]Near, Johannes. Yeah. Oh, there. Yeah.

[00:08:40]Uh Johannes is probably one of our hardest workers.

[00:08:43]Under the shade.

[00:08:46]But uh he struggles to understand my English and my Afrikaans and my Oshiwambo and my German and anything that I can try and speak he still doesn't understand. He also struggles to understand the other people.

[00:08:57]But he's always at work, always on time.

[00:09:00]And that you don't get often.

[00:09:04]So, yeah.

[00:09:07]He's always happy.

[00:09:09]Fantastic to see some happy pigs.

[00:09:12]So, we're just starting to feed them now. The guys are still starting to offload.

[00:09:17]I just threw a couple of these um spuns back in here cuz I wanted to see whether they'll be able to bite through them.

[00:09:26]So, what a way to end the day.

[00:09:29]Lisa is making us some made us some What do you call this, Lisa?

[00:09:36]Improvised spaghetti. Lisa's spaghetti super >> [laughter] >> duper spaghetti.
