Silly Videos and Random Thoughts . . .

Published : July 4, 2018

I guess I’ll use this page to share some of our silly videos and some of my random thoughts.

Something to think about . . .

In your final days it is unlikely that you will regret the time you spent chillin in a hammock with friends.

I like to call this video; “Crazy Comes in all Sizes.”

This silly video gives you an idea of what goes on behind the scenes In Our Members Area.  This is about a little rivalry that I have with a very talented grower from Pennsylvania.  It’s only 58 seconds.  I think this might put it to rest . . .

This video?  Is just plain silly.

 

The girls shot with video, “Mondays without Mike” while I was away.

That’s it for now.  Questions, comments, mean things to say?  Post them below and I’ll respond.

Until then, by all means stay inspired!

    Mike, You’re a star! I just discovered you today (and I’m way down in New Zealand). I was hooked by the time I got to the donkey and hammock video. As a result of watching some of your past videos I have tried taking a whole lot of cuttings today and will try sand vs potting mix as an experiment. I also took the plunge and tried sharpening my secateurs and hedge trimmers and they turned out pretty well I have to say. Very proud of myself. So thanks for the inspiration 🙂

    That girls’ vid was cute! You ought to be away more often! Wish I had someone to run thru the sprinkler with me! Lol. Ps, you might want to teach Ferguson and Finnegan to respect your space. They were being rude and they knew it. Missy wrung has some great free videos on trading horses. I use them for my donkey as well. We also have two Morgans.

    Mike, I have been a follower of you for years. I enjoy the easy to use advice, it works! As I age now 76, I hire help for heavier jobs, The basics have “grown” to suit me, again thank you. When we live with nature in harmony life is so good.

    Hi
    Cute videos
    I have a question, can you please tell me the name again of the product you encouraged your readers to use on August 1 for grubs? I believe it was a Bayer product

      There are several, just visit a garden center and get a good granular. I think spectricide makes one as well as bayer.

    That was the music from The Benny Hill Show. Im dating myself by saying that – I think Benny Hill died more than 20 years ago. Nice job on all the videos.

    Ok I really like these people. Not only are they silly and fun but live in a beautiful place which should make anyone giddy. I subscribe to everything from Mike but these women are seriously compelling.
