My Chores On the Homestead
Hello, my name is Joshua I am the homeschool kid.
Today I am going to tell you about my chores on the homestead.

1. I mow the lawn.
Mowing the lawn is a big chore because we have a big homestead.
And because we have a big homestead I sometimes forget what I have mowed and what I haven't.  And I remember that by drawing a map of the homestead.  And I draw numbers on each field of grass so I know which day I need to mow each field.
2. I feed and water the animals.![IMG_20170717_103351.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmR3mSgthfNntZbCWUPdyTtkpdHdXTnjj6NgyjusasEYek/IMG_20170717_103351.jpg)
We have one cow and four sheep.  They drink a lot of water.  Especially because it is summer time.  I only give the sheep feed when they are low on grass. And when they are low on grass I have to give them more water too.  I have to give them more water because they get half of their water from the grass they eat.
3. I water the banana trees.![IMG_20170717_103306.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdbPUvX5y5jMunCEjQBErJBzeHshmQL2L6sP9JJbVmEP9/IMG_20170717_103306.jpg)
Probably you are thinking "You can't grow banana trees in Arkansas."  But it is possible.
People even grow banana trees in Canada!  This is how they keep them warm in the winter.
First they put high fencing all around the plant. Then they pile it up with mulch and straw.  Then they put a big black plastic bag on top.
4. I harvest from the garden.![IMG_20170717_103533.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmW2rsFp4yzXcLxxwLfC8CXCfzVNY2u2wBAyRkttFRRHGu/IMG_20170717_103533.jpg)
In the summer, one of my chores is to pick veggies from the garden.  And my mom usually asks me to pick papalo and tomatoes because we love pico de gallo.
5. I do whatever else my mom and dad tell me to do.

Quite busy for a 10-year old. Almost gave me an idea to find some chores for my 9-year old, also homeschooled. But we live in the city, so I'd have to think of something different!

Get harnesses and a long stake in the ground.  Or multiple. One for each sheep. They'll eat the circle.  Move the stake and the sheep, eat another circle.

Or use the moveable fence option.

Well done! It is always so wonderful to see a young man like yourself understanding the benefits of hard work.  I have considered trying to grow a banana tree here as well.  
Thanks to your dad's live shows and videos, I am trying out papalo this year.  I thought none of it germinated but now it has finally started to grow so I am anxious to see how it tastes in our salsa. 
Upvoted, following, and resteemed!

Mad respect for you

Wow!

Can I get you to come to my house and work for me?

My kids are grown and moved out and it's hard to get them back to my house to help.

You are gaining some VERY valuable knowledge, Joshua. Man I wish I had learned such practical skills as a young lad. The closest I came that was going to Mexico to visit my grandfather's farm when I was around 11 years old. We would milk some cows and then sell said milk and some cheese around town. We would also prepare the chickens for selling in the market. That was just one summer though. You are going to become well versed in these matters, to the point of enjoying the many fruits of your labor.

We are currently homeschooling our children here in the city so seeing your posts really helps all of us out who are on this path. They tend our small garden in the backyard and we recently acquired egg-laying hens. They love taking care of them. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Hey @thehomeschoolkid,  
enjoyed your post about you sharing your chores on the Homestead that it went in to the first issue of curator - a Steemit magazine I'm trailing out for curation knowledgeable and undervalued  posts. 
You can check out the post here https://steemit.com/curation/@biglipsmama/curator-issue-1 
Thank you for sharing great content!
Keep on Steeming!
