Hi folks! I hope you're all staying safe during this COVID-19 madness. 

This week is my final episode on my 3 part series about edible gardens. I talk about sunflowers and their benefits as a pollinator plant; the 3 Sisters method; and how pasture plants can benefit our livestock, local ecosystems, and pollinators (including our beloved honey bee!). I also briefly discuss why you might be getting thin egg shells from your chickens. 

Please see my website for a rundown of everything discussed, as well as a list of sources. 

Stay safe and take care of yourself!

Hey folks! I had some volume issues with the first 20 minutes of this episode so I apologize if it's rather quiet. Apparently, I also couldn't pronounce 'coturnix' consistently, either! I blame the cold. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

For the first episode of 2020, I am talking about quail and why they might be a good addition to your homestead. Please see my website for a list of sources and a rundown of everything discussed.
