You asked a really excellent question during the composting class, about how the previous owner used RoundUp. Thank you for that question! I felt a little out of place at first too, so I think it was good to hear that I wasn't the only one. But WOW, I think we all really made an awesome event!
Homesteading is a frame of mind, I've heard somewhere. I feel like I was called to do this. Just because you have a backyard homestead, we are all trying to grow our own food and every little bit counts and is less of a burden that we are putting on the stores, plus our families are getting better nutrition. What ever you got this year from your garden is more than you would if you did absolutely nothing. Just think of it that way. Hang in there, every year is always different. I'm glad you have a new found love for homesteading. Don't ever give up. It's such a good life, though hard sometimes.
@@Becky-tp7gm yes! I love knowing what’s going into my food. I wish I had more harvest, but it’s more than I had last year. (With the exception of okra 😭)
Preach/testify!!!! You so eloquently described the culture of this gathering, and you did do amazing. It is such an important responsibility to harvest our food, animal and plant... I was so exited, proud and nervous for all that were participating in the butchering courses. It was like we all were on the same plane and just a gathering of family... I agree, I don't think I have ever felt such a sense of inclusion, than I did at this event. Thanks for this video, and your sharing of your experience. Can't wait to see more!
@@kenhhuster yes! It was such an amazing community! I loved that it wasn’t just the “instructors” teaching, but everyone helping each other and sharing experiences.
Just remember this on tomatoes. If the soil dries it dies. 90% of blossom end rot is a watering issue. very rarely is it a lack of calcium. North America's soil are quiet fertile. Consider a cheap $35 12-24 pot Amazon solar drip irrigation for a 5 gallon pale. Garden Life saver and amazing! You can even use a small amount of liquid fertilizer in that bucket for soil microbial fed assurance. Keeping the soil microbes alive as they live in the water with in the soil will feed your plants the nutriment they require.
You will always be learning in gardening. What works one year may not work the next. Even farmers that make their living farming have crop failures. You might pull up one of the okra plants and see if they are suffering from nematodes. If the roots have gauls or knots on the roots, that would be nematode damage. Okra is a nematode magnet, and really needs to be rotated. If it makes you feel better I have gardened for many years and still have trouble with okra.
Keep it up ❤

@@TheWickerShireProject great idea. I’ll look into that!

@@growyourownfood7814 thank you for the advice! I did rotate where they were planted, but that’s great information!
