We grew these tomatoes from 2 potted containers with 4 tomato plants. Total success and today Alda and I made our first ever salsa from the produce of the homestead.

I have decided to remake the video on making Almond Milk from our Homestead. I have had many people asking about it thus I recreated it here with a little bit more detail. Hope you like it.
Like I mentioned in the other upload, I am lactose intolerant and that is why I will not be doing or having dairy animals on this homestead but giving many people such as myself, healthy and more veggie and meat/eggs alternatives health wise.
I love the other channels such as Living Tranditions in MO. They are doing a great job with dairy cows and such. I watch them as well as with many others and appreciate all that they share regarding dairy and the like.
I highly recommend their channel also. Anyway, you will see a lot here with what can be done on a half acre. And perhaps, in the near future, Aida and I could expand this homestead. We will just have to wait and see...

Well, it has been an exciting 2 weeks. So much has happened on the homestead and what I mean is that it is not so much the orchard or things but our new grandchild was born and my son is getting ready to go into the Army. This is a brief vlog as I am showing one of our small pears that has been blown off the tree. We have quite a few pears on several of our trees but this years crazy thunderstorms/wind storms have not been good to our orchard. Hope you enjoy this brief video as I begin to get back on track and will be showing our new grandson and updates on everything happening here on our Fruits & Berries Homestead...

I'm at the Cherokee Structures location here in Chuckey Tennessee. Just checking out as a consideration to getting this type of a chicken Coop for our homestead. Hmmmmm?

Four fruit trees are now dug up and transplanted. It's my hope and prayers that these trees somehow make the transition from one location to the other. This was all done two days ago. What I did not expect was the oncoming storm actually hit us that same evening of the transplanting. Thus, I could not the next day transplant the 2 or 3 apple trees on the other side of our acreage.
As I type this update, it is still pouring down rain and it's a mud bath on the property at the moment.
On our next video, I will update the progress of the transplanting and hopeful update on our Quail journey.
Thanks so much for watching and God Bless...

I share here of some issues that are easily resolved with a Hatching Time brooder.
I got from this batch a 90% hatching rate. I'm very pleased with that. I mention a little with what we inspire to do this year and hope to absolutely increase our egg production.

I have been enjoying learning to operate the new Sony HDR CX900. Tonight we have had the blessings of going out to dinner with Mitch and Liberty Metzger and family. After we got back home from eating out, The Kitchen Women here in New Fairview did there fun thing by just being themselves. Life and times of home fellowship with the Sparks and Metzgers.
Enjoy.
Blessings, Family Metzger and Family Sparks
