Growing our own stevia.
When it gets bigger, I plan on drying the leaves and grinding them into a powder.

🐔🐇🐝 The Ukiah City Council voted unanimously to do away with the red tape residents have to go through to have chickens, rabbits and bees in their yards – including nixing the $1,000 permit requirement.

🐔🐇🐝 The Ukiah City Council is moving forward with a plan to make it easier (and cheaper) for residents to keep backyard hens, rabbits, and beehives. A final vote will take place in September.

I have a question for #gardeners and #homesteaders out there in Mastodon.
I need suggestions on how to store my potatoes, carrots, beets and onions from harvest in August-September until Spring. None of the usual solutions work for me so we have to eat our harvest faster than we wish and we’re out of everything before Christmas (except garlic and frozen hot peppers).
I don’t have a root cellar, nor can I build one.
Don’t have a garage.
I don’t have a non-insulated area in my house. Best I have is a dark workshop but even with the heating turned off, its temperature is too high and humidity is too low.
Winters are too cold and snowy for storage under our deck to be an option (or is it?).
I detest vinegar so pickling isn’t an option.
I have blanched, vacuum-sealed and frozen carrots before, but it’s a lot of work and a lot of plastic waste.
#Homesteaders tend to be conspiratorial doomsday prepper types in my experience and these influencers aren't keen on changing that perception
Viral right-wing homesteading influencers are demonizing migrants and pushing nativist conspiracy theories
@bsmall2 That is an excellent question. When we had chickens growing up, they had over an acre to work with, and only about 12 chickens. Any #homesteaders care to chime in?
Starting to actively look for information about & from other #Jewish #Homesteaders, so far I've basically just found #books from or on it as it existed about 150 years ago, a video or 2 of an introduction &/or Kosher animal slaughter on a farm but.. even as I'll likely order as many of those as I can over the next few year, I'm definitely looking for more information.
One of the problems with the videos I've seen of Christian homesteaders is beyond animal slaughter itself is so many recipes
It's a dreary Monday, which makes sense considering the senseless actions in Texas this weekend-- as well as all of those that have happened, and unfortunately will continue to happen-- until we do something about it.
"No Way to Prevent This," Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
That said, no matter how loud we scream and yell... it always falls on deaf ears, and their silence is literally killing people.
I have these stickers up for sale in my shop. Even if the politicians won't listen, you can make your feelings known.
Tots and Pears, I guess. ❤

We are officially six weeks from May 1st, here in SE Wisconsin. That means 8 weeks to last frost.
I am absolutely thrilled to have started my plants as early as I did. It gives me time to get them bigger and stronger, as well as do a second sowing of anything that does not do well, or anything I want a second plant/second planting on.
This weeks goals are to get my 4-6 week seeds planted, and get some of my cold hardy plants outside.
On top of that, I have another raised bed to build (8x4x1), trellises need to be moved and/or placed, the ground needs to be mulched, and I need to finish weeding what I can.
Planting/garden/farm season is about to be in FULL SWING and I couldn't be more excited.

I am going to shank the next person who thinks food safety laws don't matter because they're only cooking for themselves and their families.
FOOD BORNE ILLNESS DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN IF YOU ARE IN A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN OR A HOME ONE. NOR DO ALLERGENS.

I dont know who needs to hear this, but there is a difference between being #prepared... and being a #doomsday #prepper.
Especially in today's day and age.
The sky isn't falling. Calm down.

#farmers #birdwatchers #homesteaders #geologists #meteorologists Where Are You?
@dianebean @SDF Could be. To make it easier for others with those interests to find you, ask the question again with hashtags, eg: "Any #Homesteading or #Gardening?" When the #Homesteaders and #Gardeners in the #Fediverse see that, they'll be tripping over themselves to invite your participation. #Fedizens are like that.
