Our Homestead Pantry renovation is being completed this week! We will then be able to begin prepping our food for the year for a family of four. Our garden 2023 will yield all the food we need to can, dehydrate, preserve etc all the produce we grow. Our starter seeds are being planted today and when the snow is finally melting we will begin raised garden beds!

We are re-doing our garden shed & adding a new potting bench. I am hoping to get my handsome, handy husband (you know about them!) to agree to building me some new raised beds as well!

Lovely video. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
Sim vai dar tudo certo 🙏🙂❤️🌴🌳🏝️🌷🏡🌳🌲
COVID created a shortage of mason jars as people were growing and canning their own food that normally would not have been. You can reuse things like jam jars and other glass jars that came with a metal lid. Can them like you normally would and then dip them in paraffin wax to ensure a good seal. My mom would do this when I was a kid. Also, look into what plants like growing next to each other. For example, the three sisters *corn, beans and squash. If you have room,,,grow strawberries.
Hi guys.I have been with you since the dump run flip videos, cheering you on. My hubby and I are long time gardeners and he has a YouTube channel called GrowerCoach. This a video of starting our peanut crop from his channel. https://youtu.be/tv-SxcPIvHE
Do you eat duck eggs too?
Have you heard of Parelli Natural Horsemanship? It’s an amazing program with lots of things you can do to work with your horses now. I think you would love it!
Maybe chard and kale would be good. If you like it. 🙂
Love the picture of Chase and Dayton when they were little.
Exciting garden plans!! I go to thrift stores to purchase used mason jars, and buy new metal lids online. Facebook Marketplace is great or Kijiji.
You need to grow your pumpkins in a compost pile for best results.
Can’t wait for the garden. Take care and be blessed.😊🤟🏼
You can freeze quiche that contain kale or spinach…ditto savoury mince rolls.
I went to Value Village this week in Toronto 🇨🇦 and they wanted 4.99 for one mason jar!!
Another youtube vlogger always recommends zwilling bags and containers that she buys from Amazon.
You really can't beat homemade tomato sauces . I always grow more herbs than I need and I hang bunches to dry and I dry chilli also and they keep fantastic in jars. I make garlic butter and freeze them in ice cube trays, when a recipe calls for garlic i pop out a cube.I also freeze baby leaf spinach and add handfuls into most soups, stews, curry during autumn and winter months so we still get extra nutrients. We don't like spinach but baby leaves wilt down without really changing the flavour .
Although some people find it controversial, many others reuse certain jars from store bought food to can in and have been doing it that way for generations (also very popular abroad). You can buy new lids on line. Here is a video about it that gives good, basic information on the “do’s and don’t s” of canning this way. I’ve found regular mason jars at estate sales, yard sales, Craigslist, Marketplace and thrift stores too. Hope this can help! Looking forward to seeing everything you “put up” this year!

Have you considered beets and shallots? Also radishes are easy to grow and so tummy in salads. What herbs will you planting?
You definitely need to plant some onions for your salsa
For canning jars: keep an eye open on your local marketplace or check out garage sales. Often, people are giving up doing canning and preserves, or are clearing out an estate, and are letting go of them in bulk for a bargain.
On the arch you mentioned, you could grow green beans, peas, cucumbers stuff like that will help in the picking process. Thrift stores sometimes has jars, dollar stores carries them or maybe like marketplace on line. But I live in Iowa where they can easily be found. If you wait a couple of years them horses are gonna be huge! I still think Philip should break them. Lol May be a new career for him. 😂
Start second-hand shopping now. I collected boxes and boxes of different-sized mason jars, crocks, stoneware and canning supplies at a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Do you have a dehydrator?
Can’t recommend a dehydrator enough! They are amazing for preserving food. Dried apple slices are like candy!
Quick question, is Hudson a gelding or a stallion?
Nasturtium, marigolds, calendula are great bug deterrents. Plant Nasturtium away from your best plants, as they draw the bugs away. Cilantro, dill, and basil also interspersed with plants help keep pests away. Blue Hubbard squash also plant away from zucchini and pumpkin. White moths love the blue Hubbard! I'm rethinking the layout of my tiny garden to grow more!! Love the pantry, horses and chickens.
Is there a northern variety of peanuts? I didn't think we had a long enough growing season ..we are zone 5-6
Those eggs sure are pretty!
Go to YouTube site….TYLER AND TODD………they are in Nova Scotia too….living off grid……cans and jars tons……..you may be closer neighbors…….they grow many items
Check your grow zones and match the varieties to the zone you are currently in
Asparagus takes a few years and needs to be on a hill?
For mason jars, advertise on local groups that you're looking for jars.
2 nd hand stores sometimes have them as well.
Look for jars at thrift stores
I have gotten a bunch of canning mason jars at the thrift store. Not sure, but could you wax seal and use regular jars. Still deciding what to plant. I don’t have a very green thumb lol thanks for sharing.
When i buy tomato sauce i save the jars . Havest my tomates then make my own sauce. Full up the jars and leave space near the top . Put them in te freezer. I have an uprignt freezer..
Check out secondhand stores for jars
