PLANT FOR CHANGE

Homesteading isn’t just about the things you get from what you’re doing, it’s about who you become through taking action. Having your own sovereign sources of food, clothing, medicine, income, and more will come from consistently learning and doing the work. But you’ll also become a more anti-fragile, resilient, and powerful person in the process. That’s what homesteading is all about at its core.

Summer snapshots. Of comings and goings, planning and winging, care and abundance. Of old visitors and fresh landscapes. Of tending a language, learning a garden. Hidden chaos, inexplicable order. Of allowing oneself to be weak, while remembering to be strong. Of knitting the threads and tying the knots. Being tired but pushing through. All the eggs in one basket, a river of squash, a carpet of onion, a book and a song. Of saying arrivederci, “o no?” . Don't judge every day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. (R.L.Stevenson)

Harvest abundance from the yard today! With just 6 tomatillo plants on 4’x4’ area we yielded 10-12lbs of tomatillios zone 7b With a recipe to make salsa verde for example that uses 1lbs tomatillo it yields over 2 (16oz or pints) So much can be grown to preserve even in small spaces! What goodness are you harvesting and preserving right now in north? And what seed are ya’ll planting in southern hem? -M @plantfrchange PFC -Global Community Connection https://t.me/+uNrOk07h2SZkMmUx (Join Here)

Its apple season where we live and we've been making applesauce as hard as we can from friends and neighbors who have mature apple trees that are producing. https://amzn.to/3XzLDqf We bought this manual applesauce and tomato strainer and its been an absolute game changer. Its amazing how fast we can make apple sauce now. No peeling or coring with this thing. I dropped the link above if you're interested in the one we use. We make ours with just lemon juice (to add acidity for canning and to keep the applesauce from turning brown) and apples. No added sugar and the kids love it.

PFC Edible PERENNIALS List—Vegetable/Fruits/Herbals (Plant Once, Harvest Indefinitely) From a permaculture perspective we look to grow and design our systems with the intention to always maximize our yields with minimum efforts. One of the most effective ways for us to do this is by sowing (planting) perennial edibles. Edible Perennial Benefits— • Dependable. Come back yearly • Saves $ in longer term • More resistant to pests • Valuable part to food forest systems • Decorative as well as edible • Provide larger harvests than annual vegetables • Generally easier to grow and require less work.
