In my quest for simplifying the ingredients in my kitchen without breaking the bank, I’ve come to love grocery shopping through Azure Standard.

    Just tie the hori hori knife sheath to your belt loop with string or paracord. Alternatively buy a small key ring carabiner clip and use that. Or make a nice clip by bending over the decorative handle of an old spoon ( that's been cut off) and pop rivet it to the back of the sheath. You can just slide it over the top of your pants . Etc, etc 😊

    Basil is a huge help for keeping away pests. I companion planted basil, leeks, peppers and tomatoes this season in Northern Lower MI, and had 0 pest pressure. To dehydrate, I set at 95° for around 3 days (I check daily for the crispy flaking when pinched) Thanks for your video!

    • @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl
      @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl Рік тому

      Hi there! Fruits are almost all perennials and vegetables are almost all annuals. Things like apple and peach trees, berry plants and bushes will continue to grow each year. Vegetables need to be planted every spring, but if you get heirloom varieties you could save their seeds and replant those the next year. Asparagus is the one vegetable that comes to mind that is a perennial. Hope that helps!

    • @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl
      @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl Рік тому

      I’ve only used them for 2 growing seasons, but so far I really like them for growing vertically! Things like greens and carrots that take up a lot of space laid out along the ground get condensed into a smaller footprint and allow me to grow more in my limited garden space. The only con I can think of is that not everything can be grown in one, unless you look for very specific varieties like dwarf tomato plants or non-vining cucumbers.

      The trellis overflowing with beans is a cattle panel, which can be purchased at farm supply stores. The cages holding up the pepper plants are called tomato cages, and are available in the spring at most any store that sells plants and seeds.

    Thatz pretty impressive, Carrie! I've been waiting for an Azure pickup to come to the Greenville area.. I have friends working on it but I guess it's a pretty intensive process! We just started getting raw milk, butter and eggs weekly from a farm. Excited to continue to grow and learn in this area...would LOVE to only go to the grocery store once a week 🤪 what are the main things you can every year? I always do tomatoes..last year I did pickles and I want to add applesauce to that this year as well. I'm still on the fence about grinding my own wheat, though I love the idea! Does it make baking any more difficult? Like is there a learning curve for any difference between freshly ground flour and store bought?

    • @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl
      @faithfulfrugalfarmgirl 2 роки тому

      There are people who drive to the GR Azure drop from Cadillac and even farther north! They're trying to get one in Big Rapids-ish. They tend to stay near the highways. So far I've only canned tomato sauce, applesauce, peaches, salsas, jams, and pickle relish. We like the flavor of our vegetables frozen instead. There definitely is a bit of a learning curve. I wrote a blog post with tips: carrieroer.com/tips-for-using-fresh-ground-flour/ I've been doing it for about a year, and while it was intimidating at first, it's now second nature to me.
