Heather what ever you need to be preserving is what I will watch, I learn things and enjoy it
Thank you!! ♥
Your garden has exploded for still being April 👏👏👏
It's been a warm winter!
Your garden looks fantastic! I love your garden tours; however, I love ALL of your videos! I have learned so much from watching them. You are such an incredible teacher in homesteading life. Thank you for caring and sharing your wealth of knowledge with me and many others. ❤
Awe thank you so much!! 🫂
Oh Heather, your garden looks great!! I love watching all the garden tours, harvesting, & preserving vids. You offer such great advice and knowledge of what to do, and what is not the best thing to do.
Just stunning! Something I’ve done all my life because my Mam-ma ( grandmother) did it, was when harvesting radish, carrots, etc is to push down first then pull them out! Try it and see the difference ✌️🤍
Oh that's a great tip! I'll try that!
WOW That is a great harvest for being your Spring. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
So excited for garden season here!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead 👍
Your garden and greenhouse are looking great. Those raised beds in the greenhouse make such a difference in the visual appeal. I can't wait to see the greenhouse when it is in full production.
I love all the harvests, meat , veggie, dairy, herbs or whatever lol. thanks for the harvest tour
Oh there it comes ! My favorite season , spring ! And harvest time ! Beautiful garden 😍 look at the veggies. Such abundance! What a blessing 😊
Love your garden tours and abundance! Blessings on your 2024 garden season!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿
I love watching how you utilize such abundance! It’s amazing how years of land stewardship is paying you back so beautifully! Also: that asparagus! ❤❤❤
It's needing to be picked every other day!! What a joy!
I spent the entire day in the garden knowing this was waiting on me when I was done! Such a well timed release and reward! Thanks for sharing. It amazes me to see how much further along your garden is just a couple hours away from mine!
The garden really exploded in the last couple of weeks, maybe from all the rain!
Thank you for the garden tour! It’s so refreshing to see your joy 🥰🥰🥰
Wow!! Your video made me hungry!😂😆 That was a beautiful harvest of food!! I enjoy and learn so much from your food preservation videos. Anything you want to share is fine with me!! 🙏❤
Wasn't sure if I'd really like my green stalk or not but I'm loving it!! it has exploded with veggies.
Yes!! It's such a great planting space!! I'm loving mine and considering a fourth!
Oh wow what a garden...what a harvest what lessons learnt. Thank you so much Sage and Stone Homestead😊
We’ve been planting but nothing yet to harvest. Looks like quite a haul for so early! That’s terrific!
Good morning, Beautiful. I'm so excited for this year's garden.
So much to harvest already! Your broccoli is very impressive!! All of your stuff is so far ahead of mine. I’m supposedly in zone 7 but my last frost isn’t until May 8th. I feel so behind when I see people harvesting like this!
The zoning is more of a way to gague the average low temp in winter in any given area. My friend in Ohio is zone 9 like many places in Florida because it doesn't get super cold there, but the frost dates are very different too based on location.
I love garlic scapes. We use them in stir fry’s & have freeze dried them for garlic powder.
Wow! Your garden looks amazing! I harvested some romaine lettuce and radishes yesterday and made a salad. My kale is bolting… I don’t really know what to do with it and since I have a small space I cut it back so I wasn’t over run. I love the food preservation videos! Honestly all of it! I will probably never have a freeze dryer but I enjoy seeing what other people are doing with it.
Girl you are so much further along than I am! Your garden looks incredible! I never know what to grow in my green stalks so Im totally throwing some radish in there this week!
The heat we had made them spicy but I know you like spicy!! ♥
Garden is starting to glow for sure, loved all the harvest you got today! The greenhouse evolution is so great to see, and I know it will take time but I imagine it will pay back 10fold in food and labor, etc. Yay, we did get goat intermissions. Jupiter still has my heart some, probably because he's still amongst your first few minis (and he's beautiful!). Hard to say what I'd like to see most. I definitely love the cheesemaking. Perhaps something to switch it up a bit would be the herb preservation, since you mentioned restocking some. Like, how you go about preserving different herbs you like and then how y'all use them? I know eventually I'd love to see how you preserve tea making ingredients that you like to make teas from. How are your mushrooms doing?
💚💚
I haven't soaked the new bags yet because they got beat up in shipping! I wanted the mycelium to knit back together some before I asked them to fruit. It's looking like I can get to that this weekend. I bought stuff to optimize that growing space too like a humidifier and fan!!
I see little Jupiter has a fan club. Stole my heart too. ❤
Jupiter is for sale!! He has taken a liking for animal crackers :)
@@SageandStoneHomestead Awesome! I hope he finds a great home. If I had a homestead, he'd already be sold hahaha. 💚
I haven't tried hard to sell him, I'd like to have options for mini bucks in the future. I know I want a nefarious mini buckling for sure, out of either clover or Elsa, and having a havoc line mini could be useful somewhere!! Still deciding.
Because you are getting so much milk, I love seeing the cheeses and other things you make with it. But also, would you consider perhaps making a pasta (to dry or freeze dry?) to use some of your extra eggs? For those of us without meat animals, figuring out what else we can do with our Spring glut of eggs (besides giving them away) is a challenge. I've made lasagna noodles before, but always kind of "on demand" rather than trying to dry them and save for later. Going to be trying to can some chicken broth and "ugly chicken this weekend... Thanks for sharing!
This has been on my list to try! Did you see Homesteading With the Zimmerman's video on that?
@@SageandStoneHomestead Yes! Love both of your channels! Thank you!🌻🐛🌿
Show us all the things!!!! You are such a good teacher!!!! 🥰
I can't give away the Walking Onions I have here in WI.. My dad gave me some years back, they took over my inground garden.. now selectively grow in my raised beds, but still more then I we use. LOL
The area where they are is a perennial part of the Homestead and taking over there would be alright!!
I'd love to see options and possibilities for preserving for those with little specialised equipment. When first starting out homesteading, it can be hard to find tutorials on preserving that don't require 300$ worth of special tools and appliances.
That's a great point and we can touch on that soon!
Beautiful Homestead Heather! ❤😊
Absolutely so look forward to your garden tours. Love it. Thanks
Hi 🌹🌹
How are you doing?
What a wonderful broccoli harvest you got from those 3 plants!! I LOVE broccoli but have never been able to harvest a crown from any I’ve tried to grow. Maybe this year!!
Also I never knew the details about how plants are nitrogen fixers with the nodules underground. Very cool info!!!
As always, just beautiful! Everything is looking good!
That is potatoes growing in your bean bed. Beautiful garden tour
It does look like it but when I pull up on them nothing comes up with them but a little root. Maybe potato from seed?
The walking onions will put multiple clusters of mini oinions and or the odd one has flowers mixed in the cluster too lol. the multiple clusters looks really neat as each cluster stacks up on top of the previous cluster on a foot long stalk popping out it. I often have 3 clusters from each flower stalk, and the tallest I had one grow was about 42 inches tall haha. great fun growing and best(IMO) flavor onion.
Wow I hope some of ours do that!! That would be cool to see. It's only been a couple days and some of the little bulblets have greenery on them.
Beautiful harvest, there's a lot going on 😊
Love, love, love your garden tours!! So much!!
Thanks so much! I love doing them. They are so fun!
Awesome garden. 🍓🍓🍓🥦🥦🥬🥬❤️❤️❤️
Again...Priorities trumps nap times. LOL
Hahahaha, yes! I went and ate some lunch and was debating a nap still but then.... VIDEO TIME! haha
LOL I hope you are getting a good nap now!!
Well I love them 🌱🌱
What a great harvest, and so early!
Yes!! So happy about it!
We just planted a few more blackberry bushes! So excited.
I'm excited for you!!
I think you should plant some shade tree, it does look a bit sunny out there ❤
We have a few tiny trees trying to establish! You're right we could use more shade ♥
My plant ID app says that not alfalfa seedling is called bugleweed. Not 100% sure that’s correct but this app is usually pretty accurate and it says that it’s a member of the mint family so you might want to try and get a grasp on it. ♥️ I love your channel by the way. Lol
UGH yes someone else said it looked like a member of the mint family too! Yes it needs pulled pronto. Thank you!
Coucou 👋🏻
Magnifique jardin 😊
A bientôt
Thank you!! ❤️
@@SageandStoneHomestead c'est avec plaisir
3:55 my plant app says its lemon balm or bee balm(?). I love how much you are already harvesting. This is my favorite time of year because everything starts to get so lush and green. I really look forward to all of your preservation videos. Gives me ideas on how to store things lol.
Funny that's in the mint family and I will not want that established in the bed!
@@SageandStoneHomestead It could be wrong LOL. I looked at the pics the app had and it looks really similar.
We just ate our first goat breakfast sausage.....it was amazing! Have you ever made it? Would love more info on using goat meat. The cheese ones are great too! ❤❤❤❤
Oh that sounds wonderful!!! We use goat meat in the same ways we use beef. We have a lot of ground goat and roasts but I'll have to try making breakfast sausage!
Not sure what those weeds are, as I did not get a good look at them. But alfalfa looks a lot like clover if I remember correctly. It has been a few years since I have grown it, and my mental data bank has deleted the information. 😆
When I got inside and Googled it, yes you are correct! No idea what that is in the bed but I've started pulling it out.
Some asparagus look like tree branches..haha. The three Gypsy broccoli that you harvested...did you direct seed them or put out transplants? Enjoy your harvest!
Direct seed and as I listen back I'm 99% sure I told the story incorrectly. My spring brassica plants are usually started around Christmas. I was late getting those started but it wasn't March, it was Mid-January. The feb 14 date is for my tomatoes and peppers normally.
Heather, when did you harvest those gourds along side your garden box? Are you going to make birdhouses?
Those were harvested at the end of last season! Yes the intent is to make birdhouses :)
Have you thought about making a caramel with the goats milk? I’ve heard it’s quite tasty.
Yes and it is very good! I need to make more soon ruclips.net/video/ZxYmhsNW1Qw/видео.html
Amazing garden.. 😍
Thank you!
Hi Heather. I am more interested in mushrooms and cheese making.
Have a great day.
I have a new mushroom grow starting up soon and I'll share that in the next tour!!
I have literally just checked the Armpit Melon seeds you sent me to see if they are ready to pot as I've chitted them so I know for sure they've germinated. With our season being so short, and cooler than yours, I don't want to risk losing any time for them. They sprouted super quick! Baker Creek is now shipping to the UK again, but I've still to find out whether our border control numpties will allow the seeds through without issues. If so I can have exciting radishes again! I'm so happy lol
SO EXCITED to see the armpits in your garden this year! I have not planted mine yet, they do come on earlier than something like a watermelon!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I'm just hoping I can get them to ripen on the vine in time, and be able to save seed naturalised to here. I'm more excited about these than anything else I'm growing!
♥♥♥
❤❤❤
Thank you for what you do
I would love to see you make tomato sauce 🥫
I am aiming to can all of my tomato products for the year this summer. I’d love to see some videos on different ways you do this.
Here is a video I took on this subject in 2022! ♥ ruclips.net/video/azOE-TybZUQ/видео.htmlsi=9pxtLM1e4kKYj_Mh
I support you
❤👍❤😊
I would love to see how to preserve more herbs. I have a freeze dryer but haven’t done my herbs yet. Also if I could just freeze my cilantro in my freezer, how then do I add it to my salsa that I will be canning? Ty 🥰
I would add the frozen cilantro to the salsa pot without thawing toward the end of the salsa cook time!
You mentioned you got Egyptian walking onions on Etsy, can you share who you got them from?
Yes! When I get back to my computer I'll share!
Let me ask all those yellow little flowers are those the buttercup wildflowers ??
Yes those are all buttercup! Not the most ideal thing but the bees do like them.
What are the gourds lined up at the edge of your raised bed? Is that just for funsies or is there a purpose?
I grew birdhouse gourds last year and intend to turn them into bird houses but haven't yet!
Nothing in my garden is ready to harvest, but its all growing well! (My nasturtiums are shooting up super fast) this os my first year of gardening (my dad has gardened all his life so he is helping me) i am growing rainbow mix carrots (my fav), grand rapids lettuce, marigolds, and nasturtiums. Anyone have any tips for me? I need all the help i can get 😅
Also, i am growing chamomile and lavender from seed in some indoor pots right now
I started nasturtium that didn't germinate. I want to order more seed!!
How come u have no slugs..
I do!! We put down sluggo
What temp did it get down to during the frost?
35!
@@SageandStoneHomestead oh wow! Ok. In our next 10 days we’re mostly in the 50s at night but there will be 2 nights at 48 degrees. Trying to decide on planting my tomatoes in my greenstalk. They’ve been hardening off for now but have gotten quite big, so I’m really anxious to get them planted
48 degrees is good!! We start to get nervous at 40 degrees or below because we are in a low lying area
Can you make a (many different) flavors of cream cheese with your extra goats milk? Like a sweet with your strawberries, and any flavors you have in your gardens? You are very amazing! Thank you for bringing me along with you
We could! I've never done that before but the idea is intriguing!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Yay! Can't wait❣ Cheese is my favorite food🧀🧀😋🤤‼️💯
@@SageandStoneHomestead Maybe you could mix with your dried umami, If you still have any left? Some sweet for breakfast, and some savory to go with lunch make some bread to go with it 😋 😊 🤤‼️
