Episode 394 Detroit Red Beet Harvest 2021 Its time for one of the last garden harvests of 2021 our Detroit red beets. Beets are an underrated root vegetable which at least for us it seems are very easy to grow and provide a multitude of benefits. We certainly are looking forward to the 2022 gardening season already and have some plans to increase our beet production next year! Thanks so much for watching!

We haven't been raising ducks for a few years, but raising ducks was our very first homestead endeavor. Ducks are great for a small-scale homestead, and as we try to integrate our small-scale animal endeavors with our garden space, ducks have come back up in discussion as a viable option. Not only does raising ducks provide meat and eggs, but they also provide valuable insect control around the garden. So, we are back to raising a small flock of homestead ducks.
