TweetThe Remote, Off Grid, Rustic Cabin. Ideal for Some, Not for All.

Over the last month you guys voted on the Tuesday Shows for May, today we do the first one.  I had planned to do them in order with the winner first but will need another week to get prepped for that one.  The winners in order were…

20 Items to Add to Your Preps if You Don’t Have them Already

How to Determine which Business you Should Start

Finding the Right Property to make into a Homestead

Finding a Remote Property (BOL)

Training Dogs to Fit In on the Homestead

I will be posting the choices for June’s shows at the end of this week, while this months voting is now closed, you can still go to that post on the forum and post your requests for next month’s candidates.

So why did I jump to number four today?  Well this is a topic we have not covered in a long time, and I think it will make a good one for the new Youtube TSP Show Segments.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

What is a BOL in reality vs. pepper fiction

A fall back location

Bob Wells Plant of the Week – Lapins Cherry. – Highly adaptable zone 5 to zone 9.

This cherry is one of the few truly self-fertile options, making it ideal for small back yard growers with limited space.

Additionally it only requires 400-500 chilling hours. It is also one of the few cherry trees that can be planted in full sun, even in zone 9 and handle the extreme summer heat in the south, yet cold hardy enough to handle the extreme cold in zone 5.

Bob Wells specializes in edible landscape, including: Fruit Trees, Berry Plants, Nut Trees, as well as the hard to find Specialty Fruit Trees. Find this plant and more at BobWellsNursery.com
