#SelfSufficiency and #FoodSecurity are more important than ever, especially in the wake of #HurricaneHelene and the devastation it caused in #WesternNC.

4-packs of tissue culture mulberry & fig trees are typically the same price as just one tissue culture tree so I think I overdid it. However, the one single dwarf mulberry tree I paid the full 4-pack cost for has more berries than the 3 surviving tissue culture trees combined. It may be a better variety like Jan`s Best.
I just got a food dehydrator for all the fruits, berries, ground cherries, herbs & tomatoes and I may try to dry some Crenshaw & Canary melon slices if they produce. I live in a camper so freezer space is limited.
I have one Anise Hyssop plant I saved from last year in a pot until I could identify it that grew from a wildflower seed pack I scattered around for the bees. I transplanted it in the garden. I just planted Comfrey too and Elephant Garlic last November and I`m waiting on a peach tree but I have two seedlings that just came up.
This all sounds so lovely!! I lived in a camper too for awhile.
@@alternativehomesteadingchannel My peach tree arrived this evening with blooms. It`s less than 3 feet tall and appears to be grafted. I planted two Prime Ark Freedom thornless blackberry plants in December. The bunnies decided to prune them so I put cardboard boxes with the tops and bottoms unfolded over them and pinned the flaps to the ground with bamboo skewers as makeshift fences and they`re growing fast and have blooms.
Where did you find comfrey? I was gifted some a couple years ago from a local farm, but it ended up dying….not enough roots. I am having a hard time finding more. I would love some seeds if I knew of a place that sold them….or the plants.😊
I have some type of Cleavers and Purple Dead Nettle and I`m trying to learn to identify the other mystery weeds in my yard. I`ve seen Self-Heal here but not since the bad drought & heatwave in 2023. It was so bad here in Louisiana that I had to replant the clover in my yard.
Oh wow! Cleavers are amazing for making tea, juicing, and using in oxymel. I’m infusing oil with dead neetle and drying some for tea.
Thanks for much for the tour. This is so off topic, but I must say you have the most gorgeous hair. I’m jealous. Love the varieties of food that you grow. My dad always had tons of food growing in his backyard along with some chickens. You can defiinitely do it in a small space.
Thank you!
Kiwi is going to take over and have issues ripening. I would get rid of it and go another route
Even wild kiwi? These are a small kiwi not a traditional one.
@alternativehomesteadingchannel I do believe so from my experience.
I’m sorry. If you have the space it is very decorative however and why not try. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
I love fruits and berries, I would have made the same choices! 😊
Cover the soil with a layer of grass cuttings, if you can.
Grass has all the 14 nutrients soil and vegetables need, in perfect balance.
Over time it will become black, soft soil.
Silage is also great, but it doesn’t look so nice, maybe…😊🌱🌷
Thanks! We should have our first mow soon. It’s not quite mowing season yet but I love that idea.
Kiddo it always pays to shop around on that stuff, I still use my old Mr. Juicer, LOL. That sprout thing is cool, I sprouted lentils over the winter for my chickens allowing them to grow into like a grass once a week for them which they soooo enjoyed them. We had to build chicken knox to keep the varmints out, built off an old shed and made the run impenetrable by laying wire and gravel to where nothing can dig in and well covered for protection from flying predators. You’re lucky with your pear tree that you don’t have to stake it we have to stake our peach and apple trees because of how windy it is here where I live. I keep praying we don’t have a severe late frost like last year and it killed off allll my apple tree blooms sadly, our peach trees are still quite young so it will be a few years before they fruit. I seen at my local nursery they are selling a cherry bush which I’d love to have, also would love some blueberry bushes but my hubs is like more things to mow around, LOL. Happy gardening this season, always Love what you are doing…
Great advice! I get a lot of eye rolls from my hubby to as the plants slowly grow more and more every year.
You can make jam out of that purple violet.
Love this idea!
Would you talk about fermenting the radishes, please?
I looked into buying your sprouter, not available in Australia, but I’d have to mortgage my house to pay for shipping.😊
The sprouter is good but not for that price in shipping….lol. Yes, I have a reel I’m working on at the moment with the recipe. It will be a short here.
Thanks, I’ll waych for it.@@alternativehomesteadingchannel
Thank you for the tour, Steff! Your plans for the garden / food forest and property sound lovely.
Thank you! Spring comes with so much hope and excitement.
LOVE your property. Its so similar to mine with the woods and small clear spaces competing for the sun:) Its good you have multiple ways of growing things because it’s tricky to grow at an elevation. I’ve got grow bags and raised beds and very little actually in ground. You are inspiring me to add fruit trees!! Oh and the deer…yes they are EVERYWHERE here too! So fun to relate to so much to someone that lives so far away. (Log home too)
You should totally do fruit trees and mushrooms too! All the trees make mushroom growing so easy. Glad you found my channel!
Billy Bond sells bone sauce. Get some from him and the deer will not eat your trees.
Thank you Steff! Is the Aeitto motor the same size/ strength as Kuvings?
I loved the excitement in your voice when you were talking about dandelions and purple violets. I am equally excited about them. I saw a lady in the Farmer’s Exchange yesterday with a sandwich bag with what appeared to be chickweed. She and her husband were all bent out of shape because they had it starting “ALL IN” their precious fescue. She wanted a miracle killer to get rid of it. I wanted to bless her out for wanting to spray poison that bees will die over, but I internally griped to myself instead. My husband is a beekeeper so I HATE poisonous sprays in the environment…..especially when they are used for people’s pleasures and not absolute necessities. Maybe when all the veggies, fruits, and flowers are gone, people can enjoy starving while they admire their perfect lawns. At least I can say our friends who use to spray their weeds no longer do since we educated them on the harmful effect it has on the pollinators.🐝🐝🐝
Thank you for sharing.
I’d love to know how you fermenting your radishes. I love radishes.
