So something pretty cool happened to us this week we got inverviewed by our local newspaper about what were doing here at The Citystead, excited to share our story and vision. The lady who interviewed us is also a fellow gardener and has some chickens so it was cool to sit down and talk with someone like minded. I feel like this was really cool and could be a good start to getting know more in my community and hopefully start branching out more and more.

Mrs. Citystead has been waiting a few years for this date! I finally took her the the largest used book store in Michigan. 4 stories of books a place so big they hand out maps to navigate. John K. King Used Books in Detroit was voted the #2 book store in the World in 2014 and being as Mrs. Citystead loves books it was a must that we go. Afterwards I took the kids down to the park to enjoy the rest of our fist day over 50 degrees.

I can't believe I've been letting these grapevines rob me of all this prime garden space! I cut these back but have never gone this far back with them, now I realize how much prime garden space they were really taking up. I need help on how the get rid of them forever. Good weekend to check up on the bees also.
Thanks for Watching!

Am I Diabetic? That is the topic of today's video. My wife discusses her battle with diabetes, and where this whole thing started from. This is an introduction to this story in our lives, and she wants to make more videos about dealing with it and using our garden to make up new recipes that will be low carb. Stay tuned to hear more about the struggle.

This video runs through some greenhouse plans, NFL picks and checking for groundhogs in the traps. PG Nano Farm and I decided it would be fun to have a weekly competition for NFL picks since we are both huge football fans. If you want to play along comment your picks below and we can all compete to see who can pick winners better.
Also I talk a little about my future greenhouse plans and a possibility for future income from The Citystead. Is garlic a crop I could use to start earning a side income from my own backyard, stay tuned for more videos on my plans and thoughts.
Thanks for stopping by!

We have been super busy this weekend filling the greenhouse. E was planting her sunflowers that will line the slide for the kids this summer hopefully creating a cool place to play for them. With almost having zero room left in the greenhouse we need to get some stuff transplanted soon to start the more summer crops in there.
