This has never happened before

This is not giving up. This is making a well considered decision. It shows flexibility and adaptability. So good on you Max.

There are days I can only go from bed to couch, thank you for making one guy on earth not feel so lonely. 💯

I’ve no idea why you think you’ve failed at the garden, you did a great job cleaning that sucker out and loading up the trailer. The work on the PowerPoints and the lighting is stunning 😮, I’m so impressed ❤. Your mate Kev and his sidekick Kimmie are fabulous, thanks for helping Max out on that huge task. I love this channel. And, a very happy 13th birthday to the real star OCCY 🥰

Thank you for all your videos, I'm 61 yrs old fighting cancer and they take my mind off things keep up the good work

Excellent decision on postponing the garden for better weather. That shows intelligence not failure buddy! Happy Birthday, Occy!!!

You're not giving up! You're just going with the flow! That's being in sync with nature.

It’s not giving up! You, very sensibly, switched gears to a more weather appropriate activity. You’re doing great, keep on being you.

You’re not giving up. You’re reprioritizing due to weather. Projects are plenty. It’s working smarter not harder. When we know how to pivot we are still productive. That garden is not going anywhere. Congratulations on all that you do! HAPPY BIRTHDAY OCCY!

Happy Birthday, Occy! And, Max, stopping work on the garden was not a fail - it was a nod to the fact that Mother Nature will always win and that your life on the land is directly connected to her whims.

or are we coming? 🥰

"Happy Birthday Occy!!!"🎂🦴❤

The little pup is cracking me up. What a cutie!

In Permaculture terms, your kitchen garden should be close enough to your kitchen door that if you go out to it in your fuzzy slippers, they won't get wet from dew. Bill Mollison - co-originator of Permaculture. Build your systems where you need them. The compost system - next to your garden so you don't have to carry garden waste to a compost bin area and then compost back to your garden. Have them right next to each other. The chicken/animal system - next to your garden so you grow feed for your animals - and in the case of chickens, you can pen off a section of the garden you've harvested from where they can dig up what's been left behind, forage for bugs, fertilize the garden, and till your soil, preparing it for succession planting. Collect water from the roof of their pen for them and/or the garden. Look into chicken tractors or rotational grazing (usually meant for cattle and other grazers but can be modified for smaller animals). The shelter system - next to your garden. For tools or animals. You want your tools left where you use them so you're not carrying back and forth. The roof is another water source. The water system - collect water wherever and however you can, where you need it so you're not running pipes and hoses everywhere. Use gravity. Dig ditches and swales to collect and/or divert water. Slow it, spread it, sink it, store it. Every drop of water should stay on your property but have a non-destructive way to move off of the property if you have a severe weather event. Plan for flood and for drought. The power system - all roofs can house a solar panel even if it's just for a nightlight. Happy Birthday old man!

Happy birthday Occy. You have the best dad. Let there be light.

Love the doggies on each lounge sleeping 🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️

Happiest of Birthdays to Occy. I have a 13 year old doggo too...making sure everyday counts and is nothing but good for him!

Happy Birthday ol' fella!! 13 means that you can ask for a later bed time, go to higher rated films and can be all moody.....but I feel, as a dog, you want more sleep, cannot keep awake during films and there is no way that you could ever be moody!! We all love you so much Occy and hope your birthday is a blast.....with loads of treats!! <3<3<3

I think a nice birthday present for Occy would be a puppy. Someone he can share time with, someone to teach, and someone to keep him moving...seniors need that. Occy would be a great role model.

Happy Birthday Occy! It is really awesome to see an old dog with a well lived life enjoying his golden time. Especially with such a caring and loving owner. Enjoy this time with each other.

YAY for electricity!! And the gate looks Amazing!!! ❤❤❤
