I love the passion you have for your chosen lifestyle...it really shines through in your story, and it was so enjoyable to read!! Beautiful photography, too!
Also, you get my vote for displaying your prices, haha. I can’t stand it when vendors don’t do that, and won’t buy from them.

Would that be home-made cider at all?

Thank you!!!! I have brewed homemade cider before and it's time to again... We became pretty sweet on a store bought dry English last summer; I'd like to brew something like that!

I've not brewed anything before, time I changed that :)
Do apples have yeast on the skin, i.e. is it pretty easy to brew?

Yes they do, or you can use store bought wine yeast...

I love your story. So proud of your family. It is by no means an easy life but I am sure it is a great life. It sounds so similar to my family just trade out the vegetables for cattle and goats. Keep up the amazing work.

I have so much love for this post! I cleared my greenhouse yesterday, this will be our first winter sowing attempt in it:)
Beautiful puctures...I agree, it is sooooo worth it <3
Btw....the winter here never kills the cucumber beetles;)

Ahhh man thats a bummer! How cold does it get there?
Winter sowing is so amazing, Im glad you're trying it. it is so neat to go into the greenhouse on a 15 or 10 degree day and get so hot you have to work in a T-shirt! It's amazing what passive solar can do! Great luck to you!

It gets to -30° but usually our snow kind of insulates the soil and the ground never totally freezes. This year however we had a few melts and barely any snow. I think they might have frozen this year??!

Oh let us hope so!!!! Last year we had an infestation so bad that I can this close to using an organic pesticide, but we still didn't...

I can't wait to sow some stuff in my greenhouse this spring, it'll be my first spring with it so lots of learning to do!
I apprciate these gardening blogs so much, so inspiring :)
Much love,

Thank you very much! Sounds like fun, what seeds are you looking forward to sowing most this year?

Well i really want to do spinach in the greenhouse early, haven't had much luck with that yet, and i want to expand my purselane growing areas so that I've always got my fav "weed" on hand.

I love Purslane as well, what a medicinal superfood! It spreads very rapidly and can become a weed, which you probably already know. I like it when it grows outside the garden in clean, but weedy areas ;-) What is your favorite seed company to order herbs from?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

So far I mostly order from the local companies, like annapolis seeds and hope seeds, they are amazing little companies that sell mostly heirloom organic selections from local growers. I don't have to buy a lot of seed now as I'm getting pretty good at saving!

Great! What all seeds do you save currently?

Tons of tomato varieties (most I first recieved from @karenfoster) cuke, squash, zuke, peppers of all sorts, flowers, purselane and basil, beans and peas, corn, lettuce, chard, radish, Im trying to over winter carrots currently to have them flower this year.. We'll see! Probably forgetting others, haha :) As many as I can!

Thats wonderful!!! Huge goal of mine to save seed, but somehow time gets away from me every year! I want to at least save Tomato seed this year...
How do you keep your Cucurbits from crossing? Thats a tricky one for me...
