Welcome here we share information about gardening, chickens, cows, pigs basically everything we are doing on our homestead. We also share our DIY's here around our homestaed. We have a Back To Eden style garden along with hügelkultur beds, raised beds a small orchard with peach trees, and two different varieties of apple trees. We amend our clay soil with our own compost. We use our backyard chicken flock as well as other organic material to build our soil up. We really enjoy growing our own food using organic gardening methods. We are excited to be adding many herbs to our 2022 garden this year.
We hope you like and subscribe to our journey. Abundant Acres P.O Box 218 Hope. IN 47246
Turnips are so good! I am on keto and I use them in my soups and even sometimes as a mash like mashed potatoes. If anything I now prefer them to potatoes.
Maybe use a cutting off of the saiyon like a sucker, grow that first by establishing roots and then graft your peach cuttings onto the sucker paying close attention to equal diameter trunk sizes. That should be a better way because the saiyon is more disease resistant and both will have better chances of survival and fruit production later !
I planted turnips today!! Im in 8a, south of Dallas about 30 miles. I also have 2 chikens, I lost two to hawks firstvof July 😢if I feed and root veggies I chop them small. Glad to find you!!
Better late than never 😉 Glad you loved em, they are way too good (cheap and easy to grow) to be so overlooked. Thank you for joining the RU-vid fam ❤️ I haven’t been posting much but hope to get back to it soon. I look forward to seeing you!
I love paste tomatoes. I also grow a couple different slicers to put in with my paste. Lol. I am trying to find new paste tomatoes. Not having much luck. I wish there was a catalog just on tomatoes. Anyone heard of Margherita, rise em up, pacisano, I seen shas opalka and oxheart. Those two are hard to find also. Happy planting everyone. 😊
I found a couple new ones that I’m trying this year (goat bag and cow tit) those were really hard to find! I lucked out and found them at a seed swap. Check totally tomatoes they have mainly tomatoes catalog and website is pretty easy to navigate. Best wishes on your garden ❤️
Thank You very much Friends, that was very cool, where in the US was it a total eclipse, I know people go from here to watch it there but I don't them personally, that is once in a life time experience, we had a partial eclipse here some years ago
I dont know if i mentioned it but most people dont know that there is a maintenance item on your water heater. The ANODE ROD is a very cheap item that screws into it and should be replaced like every 3 years. Its only purpose to to attract all the stuff that attacks the metals in your tank and eventually is what causes them to rust out. I bought a rental from a family that informed me of the water heater being old but, on the side of it, they had listed all the times they had changed the anode rod out. If I remember correctly the water heater is like 27 years old.
This wasn’t a water heater it was our water tank. But yes we know alllll too well about the anode rod with our water we have to replace it every few years. Great information for others though thank you for sharing
As i get older I now make repairs or replacements in years. I know if i put something new in now that i wont ever have to replace it again....till im gone...lol
Instructions we don't need no stinkin instructions! Lol Bro Kenny no way I would get under there! No telling what kind of taties are living there! Nice work. No matter what always some issues when going back in. Yall got it done though. Good thing Angie was there to teach you!
@AbundantAcresHomestead it is bread in us that the instructions are just extra for fire starter. Lol that is why you need to listen more and speak less when men are talking... Also I didn't want to mention it but you light holding skills need some work.. lmao Ok I am joking don't be tracking me down sis!
those shark bite connectors are great,, just if they weren't so expensive. just my opinion,, wouldn't it be better to put the tank in the house somewhere?
We would LOVE to have the tank in the house! Unfortunately just no where for it. Yes shark bites are pricey…we use them sparingly for that very reason.
You can buy compression fittings that work similarly to shark bites, you just need a couple of wrenches. Once I was installing a kitchen and one of the cabinets had a water line in it. I drilled the hole for the pipe, but when I put the cabinet down it clipped the sleeve of the shark bite which is also the release. The shark bite bounced off the ceiling and water went everywhere. I personally advocate for the compression fittings if you aren't soldering or using pex
Early spring cleanup is always a pain, but the payoff later on is great! Setting out Mason Bees tomorrow as our orchard is about to explode in blossoms. Good to see you guys again, been a while.
I feel like a kid in trouble cleaning garden this late…like Angela Marie you left this garden like this for how long? 😳😂 I love the smell of orchards in bloom 🌸
Good to see ya’ll today! I feel the same about winter time. Lol. Super busy but not enough time to get stuff done this crazy mild winter! We started our tomatoes recently
I’m such a whiner 😂 You’ve been cranking it out up there! I’ve admittedly been fairly lazy and took a “resting season” 😉 May all your tomatoes do amazing and give you a huge harvest.
Hello Ms. Angie, Was this from a year ago? or 1 day ago? It just popped up in my notifications. Then I saw Ms. Q comment and your response was from 1 year ago. I think YT is playing havic again. I know I'm behind on videos but not no year... geezze... If this is a current video good luck with your seeds. TFS! Blessings to you my friend. Have a blessed week. ✝🙏🏼💕
Now Angie, even though we ALL love to get a little grounding in from time to time, we still have to protect our feet 👣 😂. Sorry to hear about your pup. I can’t wait to see how everything comes together this Spring out there because it’s going to look amazing. Cool desk but it looks HEAVY so protect my main man Kenny’s back 😆. Thanks for sharing and y’all stay blessed! -Calvin
Kenny jokes my feet are tougher than his shoes. But yeah guess it’s time to start wearing shoes occasionally 😂 I’m soooo ready for spring and everything greening up, sow ready! It’s pine I think so it looks heavier than it actually is, but I love the big chunky look. Always great seeing you Calvin ❤️
Hey Sarge great seeing you! We’ve been following you and others but watching on the tube instead of computer but just hadn’t made time to record and all.
