How Much Asparagus Can ONE Family Eat? That 1870s Homestead 2024-05-01 | Today marked the beginning of a long-awaited project on our homestead: planting our very own asparagus beds. After prepping the soil a couple of days ago – a mix of grass lawn, dandelions, violets, and clover – we were eager to dive in. Armed with our trusty tiller and a single bottom plow, we tackled the task of breaking up the ground to make way for our future asparagus haven.It was quite the sight seeing our tractor pulling that plow, a tool Todd had acquired years ago in a trade. We managed to create neat trenches about 12 to 14 inches wide for our precious asparagus crowns. Once the groundwork was laid, it was time for some enriching – composted manure, about 3 to 4 inches deep, to give our future greens a nutritious start.We meticulously followed the "head to tail" planting method we learned from Living Traditions Homestead, ensuring each crown was snugly nestled in its new home. With two rows down the length of our trenches, spaced about 12 inches apart, we felt a sense of accomplishment.As we worked, thoughts turned to future care – watering diligently, mulching for moisture retention, and contemplating how to handle potential weed pressure. Despite the rain threatening to pour down on us, the excitement of what's to come kept us going.Sure, it'll be a few years before we enjoy a full harvest, but with our dedication and a little luck, we can already picture those fresh, tender spears gracing our plates. Until then, it's all about nurturing these plants and watching them thrive on our homestead. Can't wait to share the journey with you all!Asparagus Crowns from 🌱 MIGardener: migardener.com/1870---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Gardens: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥒 Epic Gardening: glnk.io/73j50/8vn (Promo Code Shop1870 to get 5% off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

The SNAIL ROLL Gardening Hack | Huge Space Saver That 1870s Homestead 2024-04-21 | If you follow gardening content online like Instagram or TikTok you may have seen the Snail Roll Trick. It's where you roll-up soil like a snail and plant your seeds at the top. Similar to this Inspirational Instagram Reel: instagram.com/p/C4drRx1O9GPI'm running seriously low on space over on my grow-tower, and I'd really like to get my sweet potato slips into some soil soon before I plant them out. They seem to do a little better when they're acclimated to soil first, instead of just being in water. So why not try the snail trick with my slips and see how it goes? Depend on the length of the roll, I was able to fit between 25-40 slips in each bundle. I will continue to bottom water only like this, and probably won't try to even move the bundle until it's time to transport it outside and plant. Have you tried the snail roll trick with anything yet?

Sprucing things up with 2 Year Old Sweet Potatoes That 1870s Homestead 2024-04-20 | Hey there! Welcome back to my 1870s Homestead! Today, I'm getting creative with some leftover sweet potatoes. Instead of tossing them, I'm giving them a new life as beautiful container plants. Even the firm ones that wouldn't win any beauty contests are perfect for this. I just grabbed some moistened potting mix and filled a pot. Then, I carefully tucked the sweet potatoes in, fat side down, making sure they were nice and cozy. These guys love warmth, so outside they go (as long as the temperature stays above freezing). If it gets too chilly, I'll just cover them up or bring them inside for the night.For the smaller sweet potatoes, I like to plant a little party of two or three in a pot – the more the merrier! It's amazing how these humble potatoes can transform into lush, cascading vines. They're perfect for hanging baskets, adding a pop of color to my porch, or trailing around my patio. Plus, these guys are super low-maintenance. Bottom watering is a breeze with this method, and all they need is a warm spot to thrive. So, next time you have leftover sweet potatoes, don't ditch them! Give them a second chance as stunning container plants. You won't regret it!---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱 MIGardener: migardener.com/1870🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Gardens: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥒 Epic Gardening: glnk.io/73j50/8vn (Promo Code Shop1870 to get 5% off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

A Government Program That WORKS | CHEAP Native Plants That 1870s Homestead 2024-04-18 | It's a windy but beautiful spring day here in Southeast Michigan, so let's get outside together and make some improvements to the homestead ♥ First up, we have new peach tree that we purchased from our local Conservation District spring plant sale. We'll also plant a few new flowering dogwood trees - and we plan to start thinning down the few bradford pear trees we still have on our property. We're also planting (2) new concord grape vines to expand our orchard area from one lonely vine to a total of (3) now. Our brassica plants (cabbage, broccoli) have also been in the ground for about 3 days now, and we're already seeing sings of cabbage moths flying out and about. So the covers will go on the frames today, to keep them out. There are other options for cabbage moths like BT, but we found simply keeping the moths completely out does a fantastic job. We hope you enjoyed the day on our homestead with us, and as always happy growing where you are ♥00:00 Welcome01:23 Peach Tree Planting (Conservation Sales)06:14 Planting Concord Grapes09:33 Flowering Dogwood (Native)14:02 Hand Washing Stations14:55 Cabbage Moths17:49 Forced Rhubarb---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱 MIGardener: migardener.com/1870🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Gardens: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥒 Epic Gardening: glnk.io/73j50/8vn (Promo Code Shop1870 to get 5% off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

Planting 500 Onions | My Tips for a Successful Harvest That 1870s Homestead 2024-04-10 | It's the first week in April here in Southeast Michigan - which means it's time to get our onions in the ground! We typically buy our onion starts every year from Dixondale farms: dixondalefarms.com We grow "long day" onions here in Michigan, and my choice for this year is Patterson, Red Zeppelin, and Walla Walla. I have nearly 500 onions to plant, but in this video we're only going to get the first bed done. After the first few it simply gets repetitive, so I'll share all my common tips for growing onions, fertilizing schedule, and everything else I can think up while we work through this first round of planting ♥ Here's the spacing tool I'm using to mark my lines: amzn.to/43Sg3Wa Here's a summary of all the tips I shared in this video:🧅Preparing Raised Beds: Clear the deep leaf mulch from raised beds before planting onions.🧅Top Dressing with Compost: Use compost to enrich the soil before planting onions.🧅Spacing and Planting: Space onions 4 inches apart in rows, using a tool for accuracy. Plant onion slips with their roots buried and soil packed around them.🧅Growing Onions: Consider growing onions from starts rather than seeds for better success. Focus on staple crops for a reliable harvest.🧅Fertilizing and Watering: Use compost and all-purpose fertilizer during planting. Later, fertilize every two weeks with diluted fish emulsion or an ammonia-based nitrogen fertilizer. Onions need 1-2 inches of water per week.🧅Weeding and Pest Control: Keep the onion bed weed-free as onions dislike competition. Onions can repel pests, so plant them among other crops.🧅Protecting from Birds: Birds may pluck newly planted onions, so monitor and replant if necessary until onions establish.🧅Trimming and Soil Care: Trim onion tops before planting and consider "spooning" around onions as they grow to give bulbs space to develop.🧅Taking Breaks: Gardening can be physically demanding; take breaks when needed.🧅Enjoying Gardening: Gardening is exciting and rewarding; enjoy the process and the harvest.If you're looking to snag one of the "Hello Friends" shirts that Rachel is wearing, they are available using the Merch link below:👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱 MIGardener: migardener.com/1870🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Gardens: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥒 Epic Gardening: glnk.io/73j50/8vn (Promo Code Shop1870 to get 5% off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

Growing Clean Food | Top 5 Dirty Dozen Crops That 1870s Homestead 2024-03-08 | Today we're doing to discuss top five crops you may want to grow yourself from the "Dirty Dozen" list. The "Dirty Dozen" are (non-organic) grocery store items which have high pesticide residues even after washing, making them risky for consumption from conventional farming. Growing these items yourself lets you take control of your own food safety. The first crop highlighted is strawberries, followed by spinach and peppers, all of which are commonly consumed fruits and vegetables. Strawberries, for instance, contain pesticides like carandasm and bifenthrin, which are linked to hormonal disruption and cancer. Spinach, despite its health benefits, contains pesticides like permethrin, associated with ADHD in children. Other crops like green beans, apples, nectarines, pears, grapes, and blueberries are also mentioned as part of the Dirty Dozen, emphasizing the importance of growing them organically or sourcing them from reliable sources to minimize pesticide exposure.

Exciting News! Whats Happening on the Homestead | Learning Propagation That 1870s Homestead 2024-02-25 | This will be an existing year for @1870s Homestead! We have a lot of new things planned for this year - with one them being establishing a farmstand. We would like to be able to sell some of our extra vegetables from the garden, plants, maybe some firewood, and some honey. To be successful with this, we're got to get started now ♥ So today, we're taking cuttings from our Elderberry trees, and Gooseberry bushes to start more plants that we can sell to others. In most cases, propagation can be quite easy, but that doesn't mean there's no learning to be had. Today, we'll start taking you along on the process and share what we're learning with you, as we go.♥ Todd & Rachel---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱MIGardener: migardener.com/1870🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Planter: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

We Can do Better than This | Pruning to give Life That 1870s Homestead 2024-02-20 | It has been probably 3 years since we did a proper prune of the trees in our orchard. We have one peach tree left, two pears, and about six apple trees that are in some serious need of love. So let's head out back together and try to get things back in shape. And when Todd gets home from work, we'll have him break out the saw and maybe a ladder and we'll try to get what I can't get done on my own. We do plan on expanding the orchard a little bit this spring, by adding a few more peach trees to the mix, and a few other surprises coming as well.

Move Over Aunt Jemima | From Tree to Table Delicious Syrup That 1870s Homestead 2024-02-17 | In our last video youtu.be/VpeOkRT9gGk we shared with you the process of tapping our maple and walnut trees to harvest the sap to make syrup. Over the last 2 weeks, we have harvested and boiled down over 60 gallons of sap from a total of 7 trees. After each collection session, we boil off about 90% of the volume of the sap, down into a concentrate and freeze it. Now that we've filled our freezer in the garage, it's time to do the final boil down in syrup! The final boil down is crucial because it determines the thickness and sweetness of the syrup. Too much boiling can result in a syrup that's too thick or even burnt, while too little boiling may produce a syrup that's too thin and watery. Finding the right balance is essential to producing high-quality maple syrup. We typically use a candy thermometer and keep boiling until we get right around 219°F. Then we filter the product to remove any sugar sand. When you jar it, don't too it while the syrup is too hot or too cool. Optimal jarring temperature is around 193°F. We typically water bath can the jars afterwards for around 15 minutes, just to be sure we have a good seal on them.🫙Supplies to get you started🫙Tree Taps: amzn.to/3upKENuCamp Chef Propane Stove: amzn.to/3Sst1opHigh Pressure Cooker Propane Cooker: amzn.to/3UKuOaZ44-qt Stainless Stockpot: amzn.to/3UH2Qgk10" Filter Stand: amzn.to/3uBddaYSyrup Pre-Filters - 6 Pack: amzn.to/4bAZjGBOrlon Filter Cone (Final Filter): amzn.to/3SHk6iUSugar Sand: "Sugar sand" in maple syrup refers to the sediment or grainy substance that can settle at the bottom of containers of maple syrup. It consists mainly of minerals and other organic matter naturally present in the sap from maple trees. During the process of boiling down maple sap to make syrup, impurities can separate out and settle as sediment, forming sugar sand. This sediment is typically harmless and doesn't affect the taste or quality of the maple syrup, though some people prefer to filter it out for aesthetic reasons.---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱MIGardener: migardener.com/1870🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Planter: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🔦 OLIGHT Flashlights: bit.ly/3z6daku (Promo Code SHOP1870 for 10% off!) 🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

We'll also make up a quick batch of cornbread to go with it - but apparently our oven is broken - so why not try to make it in the Instant Pot?

My pantry is a bit of a mess after the holiday's, and I have a lot of new things I need to put away as well.

We'll also whip up some chicken broth with what I find in the freezer, and I'll share a bunch of miscellaneous pantry tips along the way as well.

Pantry Restock | Canning Smoked Chicken & Black Beans That 1870s Homestead 2023-12-14 | It's time to start some winter canning! During the dark times of the year, I spend a lot of time filling in the gaps in my pantry. I often can up dry things like beans during this time, and also go through my freezer and work on cleaning things out to make room up for the upcoming harvests. In this video, we'll start with Black Beans, as I only have a couple jars left on the shelves downstairs. We also pulled 5 of of our pasture raised homegrown chickens from the freezer and put them on the smoker to cook. We'll debone the meat from them, pack it up in jars, and have ready made chicken on the shelves. I hope you enjoy spending some time with me in the kitchen canning - we didn't get to do that a whole lot this year ♥🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids we can be found here: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱MIGardener: migardener.com/?ref=RvfqYBHzoxkfzG (Promo Code 1870 for 10% off!)🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Planter: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.

Home Brewery | Making Mead Step 2 Racking That 1870s Homestead 2023-12-11 | We started a batch of mead about 6 weeks ago. The first video can be found youtu.be/-lisDcFPBKQ here. Today is the day where we are ready for the next step, which is the rack off the mead. This step is crucial for improving the clarity and overall quality of the mead. The process involves siphoning the clear liquid (free from sediment) from the fermentation vessel to a clean container, typically leaving behind any sediment that has settled at the bottom. Racking off serves several purposes, including:🍾Clarification: It helps remove suspended particles and sediments, resulting in a clearer and visually appealing mead.🍾Flavor: By leaving sediment behind, racking off helps eliminate any unwanted flavors or off-notes that may be present in the sediment.🍾Aging: The process allows for a smoother aging of the mead, as it separates the liquid from the remnants of the fermentation process.🍾Prevention of Off-Flavors: Racking off reduces the risk of off-flavors caused by spent yeast and other sediment components.---------------👕 Shop Our Merch: bonfire.com/store/1870smerch🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!)🌱MIGardener: migardener.com/?ref=RvfqYBHzoxkfzG (Promo Code 1870 for 10% off!)🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Planter: greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SHOP1870 (Promo Code SHOP1870 for $10 off!)🥫 FORJARS Canning Lids: forjars.co/?sca_ref=1911228.45BY9FFxdg (Promo Code SHOP1870 to get 10% off)🍃 HARVEST Right Freeze Dryers: affiliates.harvestright.com/1182.html🛒 Our Favorite AMAZON Finds: amzn.to/3ihSgZP---------------Mailing Address:That 1870's HomesteadP.O.
