I have been gardening, quilting, soaping and canning for most of my life. I believe there might be some value to documenting some of the skills I have learned over the years. I appreciate you joining me on this journey. We can all learn something from each other, and I hope to gain some insight from other peoples experiences as well.

I’m so glad that you got your garden planted. Now, let’s hope for good growing weather. Have a blessed day!

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thank you! You too!

@sitresjolie2343 Месяц назад

Quiet days are cherished days. ❤

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

that works too!

Last year I planted a nectarine tree and my husband planted an apricot tree. We got a handful of fruit from each tree last year. This year the nectarine tree is about 12-14 feet tall and the apricot tree is about 6 feet tall! Both trees are full of fruit we can wait to pick them later when the fruit is ripe!

@sitresjolie2343 Месяц назад

Wow! 😮

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

very nice!!!

@jackiekatz8286 Месяц назад

I personally enjoy a good quiet day at home. To me that's a perfect day😊

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

I would too, but have too many of them in the winter!

@miamivice1149 Месяц назад

Chill is a word hard to come by these days in Texas. Lol

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

hehe...no doubt!

@tracilynn6675 Месяц назад

I’m excited to be harvesting our first batch of garlic soon! I planted more corn this year and less tomatoes since we have lots of purée from last season! So blessed!

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

nice, I won't be harvesting garlic until July!

@Jeeprgirl Месяц назад

Today we planted 11 asparagus crowns! How fun to go to the farm market! I’m with you… I can’t believe the price of trees now!! Hope you have a good weekend!

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thank You!

@nadinecarson3259 Месяц назад

Good morning Toni, I’m so happy you got your garden in. You & your family will enjoy all of fruits from the hard labor. I’ve been done? lol I keep adding things. I can’t wait to start eating out of ours. Wishing you blessings always 💕🪴

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

It's always good to keep adding things...I likely will be doing that too!

@lindamyers953 Месяц назад

Glad your gardens in and well on its way to being very fruitful for you! I'm really late this year in getting mine going! I do have potatoes, onions and garlic doing well but other than that different berries, not much else! We've had quite a bit of rain here on our PNW island and I've spent most of my time cleaning out flower and other areas of the property that had become over run with the invasive blackberry vines, weeds and grasses😝 A couple of years of neglect and chaos reigns😂 I may have to live vicariously through your gardens this year! Stay strong and take care🇺🇸😎🇨🇦

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thank You!

@happy2cya70 Месяц назад

I have Bears(Beers) Black fig trees. I would be happy to send you some cuttings whenever you want. I have saved cuttings for the last two winters and now have about 6 or 7 fig trees from my first one I bought at Lowe's.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

that would be awesome!

@happy2cya70 Месяц назад

@@HerHomesteadSkills I'll do some checking to be sure when taking cuttings is safe. Right now they are fruiting so I'm not sure if I have to wait for fall/winter. UPDATE: Here's what I've found. While some damaged branches can be pruned this time of year, it is best to prune them in the late fall/winter while the plant is dormant. I'm sorry I can't send them now, but I will definitely still send them late this year if you are still interested. God Bless!

Hi Toni! I'm a follower from Kansas City and I love watching your videos. I'm learning so much and I take a lot of comfort listening to your calm presentation. I'm not sure what zone you're in, but I'm in US Zone 6 and I want to try planting a fig tree too. As a child, I remember that my grandpa always loved figs. Chicago Hardy looks to be ok up to Zone 5 here. Thank you for sharing your skills and views with us. You are much appreciated. Michelle

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thank You, I'm in zone 5 here...at least what used to be considered zone 5, and even Chicago Hardy will not overwinter in the ground here. Most keep them in pots and bring them into a sheltered area overwinter.

@thomasmeadows256 Месяц назад

Fighting rain off and on for 3 or 4 weeks Kentucky

@sharonparker2262 Месяц назад

Hasn't stopped me from planting here in mid-Kentucky! Still have more starts to find spots for!

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

here as well!

@crystalclear1969 Месяц назад

Pick your dill before it goes to seed and freeze dry it. Use it in salads and on potatoes. Yum

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Yes, I just don't want it to take over the whole garden!

@joannetaggart4136 Месяц назад

I enjoy taking time to drive over the backroads and ponder. Your garden sounds well established and a good variety. You too have a good day. ❤

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thanks, you too!

@cindy9032 Месяц назад

I'm raking & hoeing in the garden today in the rain...I still have lots to plant! Pressure is on...I have starters to plant too that I grew from seed... It seems these days everyone is solemn and sad...times will get harder...

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

yes they will, so stay strong!

@harrietmartens742 Месяц назад

Hi Toni - good to hear your garden is all planted. Mine aren’t anywhere near done yet, lol. We have had so much rain in the last 2 days couldn’t even get near them.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

If I had gardens the size of yours, I wouldn't be anywhere near done either...I hope you have lots of help!

@debbielofton8358 Месяц назад

I had two fig trees down here in Louisiana ...winter killed them back but they are coming up from the roots

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

odd, I would have thought they would have been real hardy there, but glad to hear they are coming back!

@sharonparker2262 Месяц назад

I would love to have a fig tree, but have no where to put it in the winter. My raspberry and blackberry plants are in pots and fruiting now. Have a blessed evening

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

I have the same issue currently!

@lindas9806 Месяц назад

I have 2 Chicago Hardy figs. I pull them into the garage and cover them for dormancy. I would like to get them into the ground through. My winter is nothing compared to yours, I’m in the Washington DC area.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

If your figs are healthy and large, I recommend taking a cutting (figs root easily) and when rooted plant it in the ground, and see how well it survives over the winter, and if it does well then you would be safe to put your large plants in the ground...even Chicago Hardy don't overwinter in the ground here!

@durhamhsballet4165 Месяц назад

Toni, perhaps you are familiar with Wiffletree Farm and Nursery in Elora, Ontario. If not, you can request a catalog because they have such an amazing selection of fruiting trees and plants for every need. Very good for ideas and setting the creative juices flowing. The area I presently have for growing is very shaded so it involves doing a lot of experimenting to find out what will grow successfully. Would love to move but as you know when you have adult children a lot of decisions also revolve around them. A parents love :) Take care and yes, chill for a bit :)

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

I have bookmarked their catalog...Thank You!

@joanmerriken9216 Месяц назад

Yes Toni, when I’ve had enough of the house, canning and doing garden chores, I like to get in my vehicle and drive the back roads. It’s amazing too, what you find.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Thank You!

It is funny that you mention fig trees. I was so excited to find a fig tree from TSC and it is a cold hardy variety. I bought one and brought it home and opened it and it was this little bity one inch thing. I was like...oh man, this is not going to grow. I planted it anyway and started watering it and treating it just as any other potted plant. I mulched around it with grass clippings, just as I do all my plants. I would check on it periodically and talk to it some too. Still all I has was just the little twig just sitting there until about a week ago. It started to grow this really tiny green sprout from the little twig. I can't believe it really. I only paid about 7 dollars for it. I am going to keep it in a pot until next year I think and then plant it in the yard. It is supposed to be cold hardy, so it should grow here in Indiana. It is called a Chicago Hardy Fig.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

yup, figs propagate easily from cuttings...enjoy!!!

Boy not for us. I just ut in more walls of water hoping to save my tomatoes. We have a few more dold night coming. Here in the high mt desert we need to keep everyhting in walls of water until sometime in June. We have a very short growing season here.

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

Oh no!

@zan4110 Месяц назад

Do you dry or freeze your herbs..or make pesto..?I have both Greek oregano and regular oregano..

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

I have always air dried most herbs, the only one that I froze was basil...the flavor keeps much better when frozen rather than dried.

@zan4110 Месяц назад

@@HerHomesteadSkills thanks!.. Will do that too...maybe ,and pesto in ice cube trays..and freeze some..maybe different types of pesto..

@melindamiller2804 Месяц назад

So much farmland being turned into housing, warehouses, and other commercial buildings! The government should do something that is actually beneficial and motivate businesses to renovate abandoned buildings and mall instead!

@HerHomesteadSkills Месяц назад

true!
