I have been gardening, quilting, soaping and canning for most of my life. I believe there might be some value to documenting some of the skills I have learned over the years. I appreciate you joining me on this journey. We can all learn something from each other, and I hope to gain some insight from other peoples experiences as well.

I’m so glad that you got your garden planted. Now, let’s hope for good growing weather. Have a blessed day!
Thank you! You too!
Quiet days are cherished days. ❤
that works too!
Last year I planted a nectarine tree and my husband planted an apricot tree. We got a handful of fruit from each tree last year. This year the nectarine tree is about 12-14 feet tall and the apricot tree is about 6 feet tall! Both trees are full of fruit we can wait to pick them later when the fruit is ripe!
Wow! 😮
very nice!!!
I personally enjoy a good quiet day at home. To me that's a perfect day😊
I would too, but have too many of them in the winter!
Today we planted 11 asparagus crowns! How fun to go to the farm market! I’m with you… I can’t believe the price of trees now!! Hope you have a good weekend!
Thank You!
Chill is a word hard to come by these days in Texas. Lol
hehe...no doubt!
I’m excited to be harvesting our first batch of garlic soon! I planted more corn this year and less tomatoes since we have lots of purée from last season! So blessed!
nice, I won't be harvesting garlic until July!
I have Bears(Beers) Black fig trees. I would be happy to send you some cuttings whenever you want. I have saved cuttings for the last two winters and now have about 6 or 7 fig trees from my first one I bought at Lowe's.
that would be awesome!
@@HerHomesteadSkills I'll do some checking to be sure when taking cuttings is safe. Right now they are fruiting so I'm not sure if I have to wait for fall/winter.
UPDATE: Here's what I've found. While some damaged branches can be pruned this time of year, it is best to prune them in the late fall/winter while the plant is dormant. I'm sorry I can't send them now, but I will definitely still send them late this year if you are still interested. God Bless!
Good morning Toni, I’m so happy you got your garden in. You & your family will enjoy all of fruits from the hard labor. I’ve been done? lol I keep adding things. I can’t wait to start eating out of ours. Wishing you blessings always 💕🪴
It's always good to keep adding things...I likely will be doing that too!
Glad your gardens in and well on its way to being very fruitful for you! I'm really late this year in getting mine going! I do have potatoes, onions and garlic doing well but other than that different berries, not much else! We've had quite a bit of rain here on our PNW island and I've spent most of my time cleaning out flower and other areas of the property that had become over run with the invasive blackberry vines, weeds and grasses😝 A couple of years of neglect and chaos reigns😂 I may have to live vicariously through your gardens this year! Stay strong and take care🇺🇸😎🇨🇦
Thank You!
Hi Toni! I'm a follower from Kansas City and I love watching your videos. I'm learning so much and I take a lot of comfort listening to your calm presentation. I'm not sure what zone you're in, but I'm in US Zone 6 and I want to try planting a fig tree too. As a child, I remember that my grandpa always loved figs. Chicago Hardy looks to be ok up to Zone 5 here. Thank you for sharing your skills and views with us. You are much appreciated. Michelle
Thank You, I'm in zone 5 here...at least what used to be considered zone 5, and even Chicago Hardy will not overwinter in the ground here. Most keep them in pots and bring them into a sheltered area overwinter.
Fighting rain off and on for 3 or 4 weeks Kentucky
Hasn't stopped me from planting here in mid-Kentucky! Still have more starts to find spots for!
here as well!
I'm raking & hoeing in the garden today in the rain...I still have lots to plant! Pressure is on...I have starters to plant too that I grew from seed...
It seems these days everyone is solemn and sad...times will get harder...
yes they will, so stay strong!
Pick your dill before it goes to seed and freeze dry it. Use it in salads and on potatoes. Yum
Yes, I just don't want it to take over the whole garden!
I enjoy taking time to drive over the backroads and ponder. Your garden sounds well established and a good variety. You too have a good day. ❤
Thanks, you too!
Hi Toni - good to hear your garden is all planted. Mine aren’t anywhere near done yet, lol. We have had so much rain in the last 2 days couldn’t even get near them.
If I had gardens the size of yours, I wouldn't be anywhere near done either...I hope you have lots of help!
Toni, perhaps you are familiar with Wiffletree Farm and Nursery in Elora, Ontario. If not, you can request a catalog because they have such an amazing selection of fruiting trees and plants for every need. Very good for ideas and setting the creative juices flowing. The area I presently have for growing is very shaded so it involves doing a lot of experimenting to find out what will grow successfully. Would love to move but as you know when you have adult children a lot of decisions also revolve around them. A parents love :) Take care and yes, chill for a bit :)
I have bookmarked their catalog...Thank You!
I would love to have a fig tree, but have no where to put it in the winter. My raspberry and blackberry plants are in pots and fruiting now. Have a blessed evening
I have the same issue currently!
I had two fig trees down here in Louisiana ...winter killed them back but they are coming up from the roots
odd, I would have thought they would have been real hardy there, but glad to hear they are coming back!
I have 2 Chicago Hardy figs. I pull them into the garage and cover them for dormancy. I would like to get them into the ground through. My winter is nothing compared to yours, I’m in the Washington DC area.
If your figs are healthy and large, I recommend taking a cutting (figs root easily) and when rooted plant it in the ground, and see how well it survives over the winter, and if it does well then you would be safe to put your large plants in the ground...even Chicago Hardy don't overwinter in the ground here!
It is funny that you mention fig trees. I was so excited to find a fig tree from TSC and it is a cold hardy variety. I bought one and brought it home and opened it and it was this little bity one inch thing. I was like...oh man, this is not going to grow. I planted it anyway and started watering it and treating it just as any other potted plant. I mulched around it with grass clippings, just as I do all my plants. I would check on it periodically and talk to it some too. Still all I has was just the little twig just sitting there until about a week ago. It started to grow this really tiny green sprout from the little twig. I can't believe it really. I only paid about 7 dollars for it. I am going to keep it in a pot until next year I think and then plant it in the yard. It is supposed to be cold hardy, so it should grow here in Indiana. It is called a Chicago Hardy Fig.
yup, figs propagate easily from cuttings...enjoy!!!
Yes Toni, when I’ve had enough of the house, canning and doing garden chores, I like to get in my vehicle and drive the back roads. It’s amazing too, what you find.
Thank You!
Good job on your garden!!
Thank You!
Toni get huskup berry bush
Thank You!
Boy not for us. I just ut in more walls of water hoping to save my tomatoes. We have a few more dold night coming. Here in the high mt desert we need to keep everyhting in walls of water until sometime in June. We have a very short growing season here.
Oh no!
Do you dry or freeze your herbs..or make pesto..?I have both Greek oregano and regular oregano..
I have always air dried most herbs, the only one that I froze was basil...the flavor keeps much better when frozen rather than dried.
@@HerHomesteadSkills thanks!.. Will do that too...maybe ,and pesto in ice cube trays..and freeze some..maybe different types of pesto..
So much farmland being turned into housing, warehouses, and other commercial buildings! The government should do something that is actually beneficial and motivate businesses to renovate abandoned buildings and mall instead!
true!
