The Seasonal Homestead
United States

Going from a half acre homestead to 52 acres. Our goal is to get to 95% self sufficiency with our food from our land. All year round!
Planting a Year's Supply of Food for a Family of 7

July Garden Tour! Growing a Years Supply of Food on a 1/4 acre
Beautiful video, it was a joy to watch.
Love your video. Can you include how many of each plant for when you do your garden tour? You mentioned 150-200 tomatoes; stuff like that. It would be so helpful to know how much to plant. Thank you ❤.
Three of the main things you ran out of are dairy...I do like your channel...Very informative..
hadnt thought of using a tsquare in the garden, but that is sort of great.
as usual outstanding, thanks you for sharing
Families/Men Need more women like you!! God Bless. I'm now 60, all alone. Never found a woman worth her weight to be a Woman, Sad, I Know.
Grow the peanuts in 5 gallon buckets. Makes it so my easier.
I love watching your preserving videos
Superbe vidéo 😊
Do you grow most of your herbs, oregano, thyme. I have found Mexican Oregano is amazing. Also German thyme.
and home school your kids I highly recommend it get fast internet
Beautiful family! You all have a wonderful spirit. It reminds of an account I read where a travel asked a young woman for a drink of water. Well her not only gave him a drink. she volunteered to water the camels also. (Considering a camel can drink up to fifty gallons! So, that was no small task). What I'm saying our spirit is undaunted by the challenge.
Hello
The taste testing honesty was my favorite part. I have 4 kids who always let me know what’s up with my cooking. 😂😂
This looks truly amazing. I would be curious what the cost is every year for seeds, starts, weed paper, mulch etc Do you have any idea how many thousands of pounds of food you end up producing? I'm guessing it's way to much work to weigh it. 😅
What zone are you in?
What is the paper called that u yes for weed suppression?
Absolutely LOVED the recap. Been watching your channel for two years ( or more!). Love Your Family togetherness and work ethic of helping one another💜🦋Beautiful Family❗️
Curious about how you like to use the walking onions…we have them more for ornament than anything else but I’d like to find a good way to enjoy them in meals. And PS, love the homemade wooden trays. Do you have a video that talks about your supplies?
What's your husband's role in all this? The unspoken provider who has to work while you play at being self sufficient. He doesn't get a voice except as your willing slave. What's the reality here?
And as much work as this may seem, it is only half the battle. There is harvesting and preserving it for the winter. We only have a quarter acre garden and it alone keeps me busy with planting, maintaining, harvesting and preserving.
Cô ấy thật giỏi 🎉
We always transplant our corn on this property, otherwise the birds and squirrels rip it up.
All I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for sharing all of your incredible work. I have the utmost respect for what you are doing. I know tye work that commercial farmers do that have equipment doing a bulk of the work. Seeing you all doing it by hand and never giving up. I hope my children will continue the little bit that we do into something like what you do. What an incredible blessing
Love the idea of a grain bowl, especially when there are different dietary preferences or restrictions in the same home. Makes it easy to customize. I’m doing that! Easy, fresh, healthy summer fare 🙌
🫶🫶🫶
I love watching you and your family work together! You are blessed! May you have a wonderful and productive growing season 😊
Your plants look so healthy. Do you have a recipe for your soil block mix?
How did you end up combating the cucumber beetles? Or was it just a natural boom year for them and they haven’t been an issue since? Last year was TERRIBLE and I’m so scared they’ll be back this year 😭
It was a natural cycle of having many cucumber beetles. There were way less last year. I find that eventually pests balance out but sometimes it can take 2 years of it being an infestation and then it’s better.
It's funny how some people define "self-sufficient".
Its refreshing to hear a husband talk about the things his wife does as her jobs, its not just her. Idk if that makes sense
I wanna test those sweet potato too.
Wow, I'm so impressed with your garden and how everyone gets involved. Happy gardening 😊
Bring the children to do gardening is a good example to the generations today to learn how grow own food instead playing games on phones or watching tv and can learn also how healthy to eat the food from hard work, watching from philippines godbless guys
Right down to your choice of music, I loved the way you told your story. I just purchased a pressure coojer/ canner, and I'm looking forward to storing food. Do you have the recipe for your salsa to share? I love salsa on eggs!
Where do you get your cute flower tshirts?
The sunflower one is from Farmers Friend
I'm glad you're taking the camera with you for your road trip. Wishing safe travels!
150 tomato PLANTS?!
garden look beautiful
He slopped that avocado down like the lunch lady.
Où êtes vous aux États Unis? Quel climat? Bravo et merci pour les vidéos depuis la France 🤗🤩👩🌾
PLEASE SHARE THIS; THERE IS A VIDEO CALLED BACK TO EDEN. IT TEACHES NO WATER GARDENING. YOU CAN ALSO PUT A FOOT OF LEAVES AROUND ANY BASE...
I admire you for What you are all doing. I feel the same, I am the happiest with my current lifestyle, where we grow our own food for a whole year, and I don’t need to go to the supermarket 🙏👩🌾 Happy gardening and all the best to you 🐝👩🌾
Beautiful painting!
I am new to freeze drying and am so thankful for veterans like you that share so comprehensively. Your channel is an inspiration.
Do you have greater success from planting the whole potatoes? I usually cut them to have 2-3 eyes.
Yes- way better results!
@@TheSeasonalHomestead That's good to know for next year! Thank you!!
It's very cool that all hands turn to for the prep and planting
I'll be interested to see the corn turnout! I hear it is a hard one to transplant.
👍👍👏👏
WOW! Not only long days, but into the night!! I hope all of your hard work makes for a great harvest this year. God bless y'all and keep growing.
