The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
In Vitro meat and my thoughts on what I consider the ridiculous excuses for it. Very sorry but a few “expletives” did make it past my lips towards the end. I mistakenly uploaded the unedited video. Very sorry about the gaps and being so long. As it is already up I guess I will leave…
2014 was difficult for our gardening efforts though we did learn some things. The last few months have been filled mostly with reorganizing our home. We have a few seeds started and a few other projects. A direction change for the channel is being considered and will be announced in a future video once decided…
Dividing one of the yacon crowns into individual rhizomes. Made a bit difficult because I waited longer than I should have to harvest. Also speak of how well the yacon tubers has stored in the cellar over the last 3 months.

Tried to demonstrate the new machine but weather didn’t cooperate. Now for something a little different.
Couple new “toys” that should help with next years garden.
Thoughts on thankfulness and gratitude. In a nutshell, if people do not return to a life of thankfulness and gratitude then even if all of the perceived problem makers were to be removed then absolutely NOTHING will change.
dehydrated yacon. Not as good as fresh but acceptable.
A fungus killed a tree and needs to be removed. Clearing for new beds.
Transplanting ginger to bring inside for winter.
I haven’t been doing much on gardening lately but it isn’t for lack of gardening stuff to do. Needed to get the home in order, Little maintenance and moving around. Cluttered home, cluttered mind. I can’t work in an unorganized area..
Starting the day and so many things I’m backed up on has overloaded my mind. Taking a few minutes watching the sunrise helped quiet my mind and organize. Thought I would share it with you.
Had my corn blow down in the last few days. This years been rough. About ready to push the reset button.

Schnaps is a big tradition here. In the older families it is considered to be a mark of great hospitality to offer their guest schnaps. Schnaps making is also tradition and a fine art. It is regulated through schnaps vereins, a club. Total amount of mash to be distilled must be reported to the State.…
progress on my concrete pylons, the basket and a few thoughts on “sustainability”. Why I am concerned about the broad meaning that is being applied to the term “sustainable”. There are a lot of good people doing some very good things that make a wonderful contribution but I do not consider them as sustainable. True…
Saving a few seeds and a little info about some of the plants. Everything is edible. One thing not mentioned in the video is that bees love Borage and are partial to the Nasturtiums as well. Great pollinator attractors for the garden.

Revealing the mistake I made in my last video. As I explain, I had anticipated the possibility of making the mistake and made allowances while designing and laying out so it isn’t so bad on this project.
