Homesteading Tips - Photos

Listed below are several photos taken on our homestead farm during the 2008 growing season. We lost some precious homesteading tips step by step videos and other pictures but we will try again perhaps with a different camera.

August Garden with flowers at the end of every row for color.	One of the best cabbages I ever grew. The best for saurerkraut.
My beautiful daughter Kathryn posing with fresh garden produce in front of the rock flower garden.	First time ever for harvesting brusssel sprouts just in time for Thanksgiving. They were delicious.
Homestead dinner consisting of fresh chevon, homemade feta cheese, fresh garden salad, fresh broccoli, and wine.	One of our large broccoli heads. We ate most of the broccoli fresh and steamed some for the freezer.

When it comes to canning I get right in there and show mom how its done!	A large bundle of dill weed use for pickling and drying for seed.
Two young ducks having a splash while we clean their pens.	Mature duck taking a peak in our house through the sliding doors.
Roasted Chevon is very tender. Some people consider it to be be plain but we love it.	Oregano hanging on my planters in the house for drying. We had more than enough!
Fresh Bell peppers and some fresh flowers to put in a vase.	Homestead peas by the buckets. Come on over and start shelling.
This little piggy gets a ride home with some feed in the back of the truck.	This milk goat also gets a ride home but in the back of our king cab. Goats love it!
A sample of one hill of red potatoes. Try digging by hand 1100 pounds in one day!	From 30 pounds of seed potatoes to 1100 pounds of potatoes. Local charity got most of them!
My yummy fresh and delicious radishes. Too bad I'm the only one that eats them!	Jalepeno peppers. This basket would be well over $150.00 in the market up here! But we enjoyed them!
My log bed raised garden. Doing very well and colorful!	We huffed and puffed on our straw/log house but even a tornado could Not blow this house down!
A picturesque scene of free range chickens and the day our pig and goat both decide to test the fence.	This is one of our very large tasty and sweet turnips. Better hurry and take that picture before I drop it!
