The best gardening & homesteading channels on Youtube
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.
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.

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.
My first year trying the Cherokee trail of tears. I’ve seen several comments that others were thinking of trying them so here is my evaluation for what it’s worth. Sorry about the video ratio. Recently the “beast” decided to override all of my settings and has upgraded and updated everything on my computer without consulting…
This is, in my opinion, an excellent example of a true sustainable solution. I am well aware that some of my talking points leave questions. The next videos will address those that I see after reviewing further and consider comments made. These are my views and opinions. They have been developed by a lifetime of…
I’ve been wanting to talk a bit about sustainability for quite some time. The term “Sustainable” has been bandied about and used as catchphrase to grab peoples attention but there is very little that is sustainable about most of the things I see being pushed. Yes, some of these things ARE good and have a…
I hope that this video inspires you! Know that you can do this if you want.
Shot this several days ago. A little on the wicking containers.
Taking a cue from Rich with the basket. Here is what we pulled out for dinner.
Little bit on the 3rd garden area. We’ve had to pull back on working on it for many reasons this summer and it is not as far along as I had hoped.
I’ve been asked, often, about the political system here. Today is election day so now is a good time. Here is why a “multiparty” system probably isn’t the answer.
Way behind this year. Showing a little of what I’ve got and a few space saving methods I am trying. Also need help identifying a problem with my Yacon.
Direction change due to injury for the next few weeks.
