A girl with a garden, some projects and too much stuff…
We are beginning a year-long BIG project minimizing and downsizing our life! Come along as we address just about every part of life that can be simplified--our possessions, my body, our garden, our spending, my recipe stack. See if my packrat husband decides this is the year...or not!
We live on a small rural property (a farm-ish or tiny farm) in Northwest Alabama. We moved here in 2022 and promptly started to rehab the yard and planting beds that were mainly full of weeds. In the spring of 2023 we started small bale gardening and were so successful we hope to expand our raised beds to increase the number of varieties of veggies we can grow. Will this be the year we get grapes in? How about those chickens (NO says hubby)? It is all a learning experiment, so please join us in a conversation about what works and what won't.
Here is a bonus recipe I used to get all my peaches used up before they went bad. I subbed in some fresh pineapple for one of the peaches. AND, this one is from Ina Garten, so you know it is good!! www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/fresh-peach-cake-recipe-1923148
ME TOO! It was a favorite lunch spot for me when I lived in Orlando. We were so sad when they closed their restaurants there. But, so happy when we moved North and there was one I could hit when driving to Milwaukee for craft shows. Now in Alabama they are part of our day trips to Huntsville! Comment with your favorite thing on the menu.
WOOooooOOW👍Superb! We love it. Respected friend we really enjoyed your video from start to finish.🙂Stay blessed!👍Keep it up!🙂God bless you abundantly forever 🙂🙂Enjoy amazingly blessed week 🙂🙂Stay happy and well protected.🙂🙂🙂🙂
For the beetles? It just knocks them off and the fly back up and continue destroying the foliage. You can hand pick them if you have a small plant or area...just too much area in this case.
I look a bit like a prize fighter in this one...I was coming down an extension ladder on our carport when the bottom slid out. I am gimping around and trying to get stuff done, but, my knee scooter is handy when I get tired. Be careful with ladders, guys!!!
Give them a chance to fix it if not ,do whatever it takes to stop them from killing your plants and you. His rights stop at the fence. He can adjust his sprayer closer to the ground and only spray on calm days.He could mow that fence line rather than spray also. I hate this for you!! If you have a way to mow you could offer to do that fence lineon his side
I get where you are coming from, but, considering I spent the first 12 years of my life surrounded by conventionally grown corn and soy beans, that ship has already sailed. Plus they were here first and that would not be neighborly. I am not trying to stop them spraying, I am trying to fix the problem without making waves! 😉
@@FamishedFarm it's airborne! Doubt a fence would help! But a netting made with charcoal might. I read that charcoal is partly effective against glyfosate!
I am going along on this journey myself. Therefore your channel really spoke to me. I have rearranged my freezer areas so that I can use up many of the foods that need to be used up. I look forward to your next video. Thank you. My name is Pat and I am 77 years old and live alone in SE Illinois.
Hi Pat! Glad to have you along for the journey. I graduated from SIU/Carbondale and grew up in Rockford, IL!! Holler if you have ideas or need help coming up with recipe suggestions.
Another ingredient I would like to use up...TVP in beef and chicken flavor (I like neither but I understand if you soak it in enough hot water you can get rid of the artificial taste) and wish I had bought unflavored.
