Off Grid Alaska Living/Garden Harvest & Processing Firewood
Рет қаралды 1,925
Ай бұрынJoin us for a garden harvest, tomatoe pruning & processing downed trees for firewood. Winter
is coming and there are many chores to do on our 160 acre Alaska homestead.
Living off grid means working hard every day because we are relying on ourselves.
We believe in this type of living and we are willing to put the work in.
We enjoy knowing where our food is coming from and are always learning.
Thank you for joining us on our adventures!!!

Every time I watch your videos I’m so impressed by your family. The teamwork is amazing. Teaching young people that it takes hard work to reap rewards is a lesson that cannot be underestimated. To all your family, congratulations on being an awesome help to your parents. Way to go!

I love the sound of the rain on your greenhouse! My hopes are to have ours up for the fall season. 🤞 You know me as Lisa 😊 We are neighbors at the market and in homesteading. 👋 Hi!

Cool!!! I bet you will have yours up by fall. It has been a lifesaver with this rain and cool weather! Our outside cabbage is doing horrible. Too cold? Not sure, just happy we have the greenhouse!... so worth it

Awesome. So happy your garden is producing. You look like you will have sauce, sauerkraut and beets to can. Have you pulled any onions, they are looking strong. Good rain for the potatoes. How are the items Lily planted outside doing?
@Alaskan6pack Ай бұрын
Doing great...! Our rhubarb has started to come up! So exciting... yes I agree on the potatoes. We have not pulled any onions just yet. They are not huge just yet. Do you know why the purple cabbage is not getting a " ball" ? I am not sure what is going on.... still learning on gardening. Let me know your thoughts...!

Do you guys feed the garden clippings to your chicken? Thanks for the tips on pruning tomatoe plants. I know you fear worms, I fear spiders & we have big ones here in Fl like the size of your husband's hand! 😮 lol ugh
@Alaskan6pack Ай бұрын
What spiders that big????? Yuck!! That's horrible. Nasty. We use the clippings for compost too... I will keep you posted on if the pruning helped the tomatoes grow bigger & better....!
