This makes me want to raise my own beef…..
our amaranth
I went to clean out the bird bath, but the bathtub was full.
Two rows of potatoes, planted at the same time. The row on the right is our saved seed potatoes and the row on the left is purchased seed potatoes. To save our potatoes last year,all we did was throw a few end of season potatoes into our root cellar…which is actually nothing but a crawl space off of the basement. But root cellar sounds much more “homesteady” than crawl space. So this spring we ordered our usual seed potatoes and decided to experiment with our saved potatoes. I would say our home grown seed potatoes are kicking ass!
If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.
