The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
For some strange reason my Christmas tree has started to grow. But I’m no fool, I’m taking advantage and foraging for spruce tips in my living room. I have foraged for spruce tips in the past, and really enjoy them. But our favorite way to have them is soaked in gin, so I’m sharing my…
Back on our other property. Looking at three volunteers. A Schwetzgen purple plum, a Mirabella plum and the wild roses wanted for the rose hips. Trying to get things cleaned up and reorganized after my long illness prevented work.
Just about ready to get more set out. I have a pepper problem I hope someone can help with.
This video will self destruct after a few days. Not the type of video I want to leave up long.
A bit of my springtime prep and what has hindered me for the last week.
A simple install turns into a nightmare!
Property overgrew badly while I was ill for several months. Starting over.
Extremely overworked during the early part of the year. Mainly due to an inability to organize by the boss. Middle part of the year very ill due to the overwork…etc. Garden and self sufficiency efforts suffered greatly this year. Will not happen again! In spite of this I still managed some things. Preparing now for…
Farmers markets seem to be on the rise yet some are getting a bit discouraged in their efforts as vendors. This is a 2 part series. In this part I address the difficulty of sales and a few suggestions as to how to improve. An American Homestead Podcast: Are farmers markets worth the effort? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQThFS82pJM…
First time sauerkraut fermentation. If you wish to skip the intro the preparation begins at 8:15.
This may well be the last gardening video I do this year. I have to pull back and seek a balance in my life again after all the upsets from the last year. The new job is much more stressful than it has to be due to poor management and I have to figure out…
Work has prevented me from getting very far along this year. Gotta get that corrected.
Just a little pruning and bed prep. I want to do a video later on my soil condition and what I’ve done to get to this point.
Channel “trailer”. Long time in coming. It’s not comprehensive of my intent but wanted to keep it short. Longer than I intended anyway. Think I may be expanding on some of this in the next few weeks.
Thinned my beets and collect seeds from the peas. A little on the carrots for seed saving and other things. Lots of major changes about to take place here.
Walk through at the garden at the house. Yacon update and a little lesson learned about my peas.
Results from older seeds germination have been surprisingly good. Work direction and channel direction will be changing. A big thank you to all who have sent messages and have expressed concern for us in the last few weeks. I don’t usually go into details of problems on my videos but am explaining my surgery for…
Putting together a fire kit for my daughter. She has been interested in bushcraft/campcraft for a while. Getting ready to embark on this adventure. It’s possible we may start a new channel showing her progression.

Taking a cue from Rich with the basket. Here is what we pulled out for dinner.
Got the manure. More than I expected at one time but less than I will need. No worries, I’m acquainted with the factory owner.
Testing the three elements I plan to use for the potting mix for the biochar trials. Peat, compost/potting soil and worm castings mixed with biochar. I am also testing the worm castings without biochar as well.
Showing just part of what I accomplished this day. A few other things were worked on as well but this was all that could be finished to a satisfactory point.
Couldn’t do any overnight camping due to back injury but did follow a stream up a valley for a day hike.
can someone tell me what mushroom this is?
She’s a bit shy on camera. She was quite adamant concerning her choice off camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiFYXz-VSUQ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheSgtFruitcake
