2024 Growing Season

The 2024 growing season has started around here! It began with picking up some wheat grass from my local BN group on Facebook. Initially retrieved for my cat and as a smoothie ingredient but I have already thought of another use for that is more artistic. I started the process today by trimming it down and dehydrating that bundle in my dehydrator. Might take me awhile to collect enough to make what I intend to do. Anyway, I am reinvigorated so far with my growing as my spinach, dill and oregano have sprouted!!! I was inspired by this YouTube video…

Pleasant St Homestead: Larger Hydrogarden Setup

For Christmas this year I asked for a larger hydrogarden setup to fit into the corner of my living room. It’s a wardrobe rack with clothing rods that I plan to attach grow lights to. At this point in time I’m planning to just do leafy greens but have plans to continue to do tomatoes and peppers but you can see my rough draft for my garden plan, if there’s enough space I’d like to get another wardrobe rack for tomatoes and peppers (one with less shelves). As you can see I have cilantro, spinach, green onion, arugula and maybe…

How to Do Electric Canning

#electriccanning #foodpreservation I got some money for Christmas/Yule this year and I purchased an electric canner with some of it. I’m so excited about my new electric canner!
