Backyard Homestead
Приєднався 22 лис 2016
We are keeping a video record of what we plant in our garden, where we plant it, and how much we harvest each year. We also raise chickens, quail, and fish. We are trying to become as self-sufficient as possible in our limited space. We live in a neighborhood. Our garden, fish, quail, and chicken space is about 3,000 square feet total. We wanted to lower our monthly grocery bill and to know where our food is coming from. We want to be able to rely on our own healthy, fresh, homegrown produce and less on processed and packaged food from stores.
Planting Candy Onions February 23, 2023
Filled the raised beds with soil recaptured from another bed. Topped off with some Black Kow for a soft planting bed. Fertilized with bone meal and ashes from the fireplace. Planted one batch of Candy onions from Dixondale Farms. Pretty satisfied with the project!

Elephant Garlic
Переглядів 1,7 тис.2 роки тому
We harvested our Elephant garlic today for the first time after planting it two years ago. We have no experience at all with Elephant garlic, so it was a pretty exciting dig! We found heads dividing into cloves, individual cloves, corms, and after more investigation, what we believe are corms with a year's growth. Still not positive about everything we dug up and the possibility of viable seed ...
