updated banana rhizome i split, lemon and lime i pruned, figs #banana #lemon #lime #fig #homestead
I wanted to do a quick update on the banana rhizome i split, along with how the lemon and limes i heavily pruned are doing now, and also the figs and a quick touch on the corn i planted and everything i still haven't gotten done yet around the homestead. I will link to the original videos about the banana and lemon + lime pruning so you can see how much they changed in only a few months. This goes along with me always telling people to prune, prune, prune for rapid growth and explosive production yet most people are afraid of doing so. Not pruning makes everything slow down, growth will come to a crawl, and production will suffer.

HOW L
how-long-can-you-go-without-feeding
Early in 2020 when stores were out of things like bread and yeast, i posted a video on how to make sourdough starter which has been a staple on my homestead for the previous 7 years. I make a weekly bread most weeks and one question i was asked was how long could you go without feeding sourdough starter? I really didn't know the answer because the longest mine ever went was maybe 3 months tops. So since i had this starter i made for the youtube video, i decided to do an experiment. I last fed this sourdough around Oct 20, 2020 and it sat in my refrigerator all that time in a mason jar. Yes, the flour separated from the liquid and it fermented into alcohol but in 2 feedings i baked with it. By the way, this unfed sourdough starter smelled heavenly. The 2 feedings i gave it over 24 hours was 2 tablespoons flour and 4 tablespoons water. 12 hours later i saw bubbles which looked very promising so i added 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup water and 12 hours later it was just as vigorous as the sourdough i bake with weekly. So from my experiment, we know you can go at least 1 year, 365 days of neglecting your sourdough and its still perfect.

BEST
best-tast-garlic-bread-sticks-cost
A 5lb bag of all purpose flour today cost $2.43. There are 18 cups of flour in 5lbs so 14 cents per cup. This recipe uses 3-1/3 cups so that means it costs less than $1 to make this entire recipe. Making it in the bread machine to take care of the mixing, kneading, rising cuts the preparation time down to about less than 5 minutes to dump the ingredients in, and then maybe 5-10 minutes to roll the finished dough out .... so 10-15 minutes tops. Then it takes just 15-18 minutes to bake in an oven. These garlic bread sticks taste amazing with the buttery topping I have used for years, its a recipe in itself and can be pre-made and left in the refrigerator until used. Its great on toast and any other recipe that requires butter and garlic and Italian seasonings.
Eds Homemade Breadsticks in Bread-maker
Prep Time: 5 minutes plus bread maker time of 1 hours, 30 minutes (bread-maker on dough menu)
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 1 hours 48 minutes
Yield: 12-14 garlic bread sticks
Soft, fluffy, garlic butter-topped homemade bread sticks are the perfect accompaniment to pretty much any dinner
Ingredients
1 and 1/4 cups (300ml) warm water (between 100–110°F, 38–43°C)
3 Tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted
2 Tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
3-1/3 cups (433g) flour (spooned & leveled), plus more as needed for floured surface
2-1/4 teaspoons (7g) instant or active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
Topping
3 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup cheese of choice (optional)
Instructions
Add ingredients in order required by your bread machine - mine is all liquids, then dry ingredients, then yeast in a pocket formed of the dry ingredients
Set bread machine to dough menu
Once completed, transfer dough to a floured surface and knead a few times adding flour until its not sticky
preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
while oven is pre-heating, roll out dough using a rolling pin to about a 7 x 14 rectangle
Cut into 12-14 strips using a pizza cutter
Transfer to a lined cookie sheet (if using more than 1 sheet, don't forget to rotate the sheets during baking if they are on different racks). If you want to be fancy, twist the dough before placing on pan
If not using optional cheese:
bake for 15 –19 minutes or until golden brown on top, rotating the pans (top to bottom, bottom to top) halfway through. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
while baking, make the topping: Melt butter, and stir in salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
Remove bread sticks from the oven, brush with garlic butter topping, and allow bread sticks to cool for a couple minutes before serving
If using optional cheese:
While baking, make the topping: Melt butter, and stir in salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
bake for 15 minutes rotating the pans (top to bottom, bottom to top) halfway through. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil. Remove from oven and squeeze bread sticks close together so they are touching
brush with garlic butter topping
top each 7 bread sticks with 1/2 cup of cheese of your choice
return to oven for 3-4 more minutes until cheese melts and edges of breadsticks start to brown
Remove from oven and allow bread sticks to cool for a couple minutes before serving
Serve warm
Cover leftovers tightly and store at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat as desired in microwave first wrapping in paper towel.
If you don't own a bread machine, I can highly recommend this one ... I have made hundreds of loaves of bread and other things in it over the last 10 or more years: https://amzn.to/3TuIJBF

ASPAR
asparagus-bed-do-this-now!-asparagus
One of the things I do every spring is fertilize my asparagus beds about 4-6 weeks before they normally start coming up. Fertilizing them before they start popping out of the ground gives them a head start. If you google "how much fertilizer does asparagus require" you will find most publications say "1 - 1-1/2 lbs per 100 square feet". What if you only have 20 square feet? What if its 32 square feet? In this video I show you how to determine how much fertilizer you need, how I apply it, how I top off the beds to make sure the fertilizer is in contact with the soil because its a slow release variety, and also my secret on how my fruits, vegetables, and berries always look so healthy by using azomite.

NIGHT
night-vision-creative-xp-binocular
I bought several gen1 night vision googles that were pretty much junk and then I found these made by creative xp and available on amazon. These things are awesome and can do night vision in full color, black and white, etc. When you see in the video a glare, it is most likely me adjusting the ir from low to high but for the most part there was enough ambient light to leave the ir off. These would be great for hunting or to have in a edc kit, ghb, etc. or to simply have around the homestead to help dealing with predators .... in this day and age, you never know.

INTRO
introducing-the-honey-dog-never-before
Everybody knows I've been working on some super secret stuff in the apiary for several years. I know I'm usually an open book but i had to keep this under wraps. Introducing the honey dog. I've been experimenting with mixing DNA from honey bee with DNA from a dog because nobody wants to save the bees but 1 lost dog gets 17 billion likes and shares soooo i invented the honey dog. Its really a honey bee but it resembles a pet dog, it acts like a pet dog, its lovable like a pet dog, it eats you out of house and home like a pet dog, and we pre-trained vet clinics to charge as if it was a prized pet dog and not really a honey bee. So, patents, copyrights, all the i's dotted and t's crossed....i can now come public and share this. Just wait until you see the honey dog in person. Extremely playful, extremely loyal, extremely protective ... And has a stinger. Not susceptible to honey bee problems like noseeum, mites, foul brood, etc. AND, did I mention these don't swarm? If they do swarm, you just whistle and they come right back stingers waging! You can pre-order these starting today for only $12,000 deposit (slightly less than a months rent in most major cities). A very small portion of the proceeds (less than .05% - more than most checking account APY's) will be donated to the "international save the bees foundation" (after, of course, I pad my pockets with the 25 billion dollar engineering fees that was in my contract)

TIPS
tips-tricks-secrets-to-growing-amazing
some of the tricks i use to grow amazing sweet corn in my homestead vegetable garden. Sweet corn is a heavy feeder and that means it needs 2 things, lots of fertilizer and deep roots. So when I fertilize sweet corn, I add the fertilizer in a row a few inches away from where the roots are growing. This encourages the roots to grow out toward the sweet corn. If you notice, in a previous video I showed you how I plant pole beans on the right side of my sweet corn rows. The sun is on the left side of the rows. That encourages your pole beans to grow toward the sun and forces them to wrap around the corn stalks .... since they are climbers, they climb right up the corn stalks on the sunny side. Since beans supply nutrients to the soil, primarily fertilizer, you don't need to fertilize the side the beans are on. So, I add the fertilizer on the left side opposite the beans. The having the fertilizer away from the roots causes the roots to grow out to get to the slow release fertilizer. That anchors the corn to the ground so they don't blow over as easily. The final tip, I hill the corn just like you hill potatoes, I cover the roots up with more soil as soon as I see them near the tops of the soil. Doing these two things will solve most corn growing problems in home gardens.
People make fun of me on my personal facebook page about wearing crocs, but trust me, the laugh is on them. Here is the story about how i first started wearing crocs and how I realized just how comfortable they are. I was getting ready to do a long distance 324 mile hike over 3 weeks. I wanted a camp shoe that would also work for stream crossings. Crocs had either just came out or were just starting to get popular around then which was 2015. So I thought, they are made of ... I think rubber so great for stream crossings and they have better feet protection than flip-flops so I could dual purpose them as a camp shoe after hiking 20+ miles a day. So I bought them. I wore them around the house a few times and it was noticeable right away they were more comfortable than my almost $200 boots and way more comfortable than my over $150 tennis shoes. After about 2 weeks on that trail, i started wearing them as my hiking shoes. They fit my feet perfectly, just the right amount of springyness yet still offered support on tree roots and rocks. And to be honest, I wear them almost every day since ... its 2024 now. I have never had a pair of shoes I wore every day look almost brand new, sans the dirt, and be this comfortable. So you all can laugh all you want about how they look, and I have touched and looked at the off-brands at like walmart and other stores and they don't even compare closely to real croc brand of shoes ... so try them ... look stupid like me, but laugh on the inside at those who say anything because they are so comfortable.
My sexy crocs (the MOST comfortable shoe ever!). These are not-off-brand crocs. These are real crocs. I have seen some of the crocs sold by other stores and they are a hard rubber or pvc or plastic feeling shoe. Those have got to feel horrible on your feet, whereas real croc brand, at least the off-road version I own are a soft rubber. They are super comfortable and I wear them all the time around the house year round, outside working in warmer months, as shoes to get in and out of the hot tub each night, and as camp shoes on long distance hikes: https://amzn.to/3RGqwiP
10-10-10 fertilizer (may be cheaper locally but check prices because local prices have gotten outrageous the last 3-1/2 years -- triple 10 fertilizer has doubled in price since covid and amazon is often cheaper than local prices or same amount and saves you a trip to the store to get it): https://amzn.to/3KFEj4V

WHERE
where-am-i-gonna-put-the-sides-at
i post pictures all the time of these massive t-bone, porterhouse, and sirloin steaks I buy locally from my neighbor and every always comments how huge they are at an average cost of $5 to $6 (too lazy to math but hanging weight cost plus processing fee divided by packaged weight)..... try to get those prices at your local grocery store.
This short video of my sirloin steak is almost as large as my largest cast iron skillet, almost as large as a large dinner plate, a good 1 inch thick and super tender because i sear them in butter and garlic on a cast iron pan 4 minutes per side and done.
I use the KISS method for cooking steaks (keep it simple stupid)
Simple directions:
bring cast iron skillet to temperature - i use an initial setting of 6 on my glass top stove
Add lots of butter - 2 - 3 tablespoons
when butter melts, add worchestershire sauce - 1 or 2 tablespoons
add garlic to both sides of steak
add steak to pan
set timer for 1 minute
when timer goes off, reduce heat to 4 on my stove
set timer for 3 minutes
when timer goes off flip steak over and increase temp to 6 again
set timer for 1 minute
when timer goes off reduce heat to 4 and set timer for 3 minutes.
when timer goes off remove steak for perfect medium rare
