Maybe. You think further ahead than me

Hopefully tonight or tomorrow we will post a video. I can tell you this, not as good as I had expected. Change will mentioned on next video!

Thanks and I will share a video when they hatch.

I'm 80 years old. I never farmed but have lived on acreage for the past 70 years. Always had a garden. I live on 67 acres now in a farming community. I hope to share some of the things I've learned over the years. never throw things away. We used to raise rabbits for meat and when we stopped I kept the cages, because you never know. I do some things and think some things that people may disagree with. If SHTF and you still have water, after a few years you may need a new toilet seat. I have to new ones in my basement that were bought on sale. Home Depot may be gone. have a lot of canning jars but would like 5000 if things get really bad. Farm sales and garage sales for those. Hope I haven't scared you off, your comment made me feel good. I will answer questions too.

Thanks I can’t wait till the little chicks hatch.

You better share a video when they hatch😊

I pull when the bottom 4 leaves turn brown. The thicker the stem it seems the larger the bulb. There have been times when I didn't pick until mid August. I save the largest cloves, if I have enough, to plant in mid October.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Since I’m a north of you I’ll leave it till mid August. I enjoy your videos.

@@mfdixon2265 Thank you, that's good to hear!

I like to leave a scape or to to judge when they r done. Don't leave them in so long they split. They won't store as long. Looking Good Momma Pepper!!

@@mfdixon2265 Check out Pepperman!! below, his advice is correct and he grows a lot more garlic than I do

oops!

Glad you like it. Did you hit the bell and give me a thumbs up? Really, I am glad you like it. I received a microphone for Christmas so the sound should be better, once I use it. I plan on doing these more frequently.

I don't understand. Help me

She said short and simple but good advice. 😊

@@pepperman5572 Thank you, it's nice to be acknowledged

I use straw for mulch. Keeps ground moist and helps with weeds. I have all the straw at no cost, so I use it. Tried an experiment last year using cardboard. It keeps weeds out best and is good for killing grass.

@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 I am using straw this year in the back garden also. I put wood ash around the garlic and going to get grass clippings for more mulch also.

@@nancyhackauf5126 Good ideas and all those things, including the straw do make your ground better. I had to remove the cardboarf in the fall.

Lookin good Momma Pepper!!

@@pepperman5572 Thank you. Checked with analytics, up to 59 views, which is 30 more than usual

We put oxygen absorbers back in the bag and put the bag back in the bucket and put it back in the barn. I made muffins and bread with what I ground that day. I paid a good price for the Vita Mix and don't expect it to burn up. I'm just glad I bought it when I did, because now they run about $600.00.

I have had my vita mix about 15 years. I love it

Thank you, I needed that. I try to keepem short. Just the facts

Thank you, I try

I don't know. I didn't buy it to grow, I bought it to grind and make flour. I live in farm country so I hope If need be, I could find wheat berries. Time and energy will be limited, if the fan is hit, I would plant field corn in one of my fields. Just would have to make sure the seed is not GMO. Old fashioned seed is availaqble and if I start to worry big time I will order 100 pounds of seed corn. It will feed the chickens, pigs , worms and make corn meal

I have a backup hand grinder but I plan on having electricity via solar panels, Easier to cook bread with electricity, too. I have a lot of hand tools, like old drills, saws, etc. I plan on doing a video on them one day, but as you can see, I'm inconsistent on posting.. Thank you for the comment, all are welcome.

You're welcome! My computer died last week. More videos coming soon.

@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 I have notification bell set for your new videos. Hope you and your family are doing well!

@@ReginaCreates2 Thank you. We are doing well. We live in the thumb in Michigan. I think this week I will be canning and freezing peaches, I have have 4 peach trees in my front yard and they are almost ripe.

@@michiganhomesteadingpreppi5651 your peaches are probably close to organic. I heard that peaches in the grocery store are heavily sprayed. Awesome to have your own fruit trees! I have fig trees. also a few pear trees that I planted 3 years ago, but they don't bear any fruit yet. Maybe I should have bought dwarf trees, but I didn't know it takes so long for them to bear fruit. Not sure if I'm supposed to prune them so they don't get too tall and out of reach. Do you prune your fruit trees every year?

@@ReginaCreates2 Yes on the organic. Pruned them last year but not enough. Have sap like stuff seeping out of some of them, so will probably use organic spray next year. Last year there was so much fruit on them that they broke some of my limbs, but they were good and sooo juicy. Can't grow figs here

You're welcome!

Thanks, I heard that recently and plan on using them,

Bay leaves do not work. It is a hard lesson.

We bought them from Honeyville. On line

I went to the local grain elevator where they were selling them for $400 a ton. I managed to get half a ton.

@@daval5563 Good for you

Bought from Honeyville.

If you get it from anywhere but a sterile sealed bucket make sure you freeze it for at least a week to kill anything living in it.
