Who says the gardening season has to end when it gets cold outside? 🌿✨ Here is a quick tour of what’s growing under my indoor grow light setup right now, featuring Vego Garden tomato planter and indoor growlights garden! From my Sungold tomato experiment and overwintered herbs (my stevia is getting HUGE!) to fresh winter salad bowls and brand new seedings, we’re keeping things green all winter long. Plus... I’ve still got an open top shelf. Should I try microgreens next?! Let me know in the comments! 👇🌱 I linked the 4-tier growlight garden that comes with 4 lights to this video if you’d like to check it out! @Vego Garden sent me this one to try out, but I absolutely would buy it with my own money as well! #indoorgarden #gardening #gardentotable #growlights #wintergardening

Unboxing My Fall Planting Order from @MIgardener! 🧄🧅 (Garlic, Potato Onions & Multiplier Shallots) Fall is officially here, which means it’s time to get our alliums in the ground for next year’s harvest! Join me as I unbox my latest fall seed haul from MIgardener—packed with high-quality garlic varieties, potato onions, and multiplier shallots. Planting alliums in the autumn is one of the most rewarding home gardening tasks. Giving these perennial crops a head start before the winter freeze ensures massive bulbs, robust root systems, and an explosive harvest come next summer! 📦 What’s in the Box: Garlic Varieties: 🧄 German White Garlic: Cold-hardy porcelain hardneck with large cloves and rich flavor. Thanks for suggestion and making me jealous of yours @GROWING_EDIBLE_PLANTS 🧄 Sicilian Garlic: Classic softneck with bold flavor and long shelf-life. 🧄 Nootka Rose Garlic: Heirloom softneck featuring beautiful pink skins and rich taste. 🧅 Yellow Potato Onions: Perennial multiplier onions that yield heavy clusters from single bulbs. 🧅 Dutch Red Shallots: Productive multiplier shallots with sweet, gourmet flavor. 🌱 Fall Planting Quick Tips for U.S. Gardeners: 1. Timing: Plant 4–6 weeks before your region’s first hard freeze so roots establish without top growth getting damaged. 2. Soil Prep: Work in plenty of compost and high-nitrogen organic fertilizer. 3. Mulching: Add a heavy 3–4 inch layer of straw or leaf mulch to protect bulbs through winter freeze-thaw cycles. 🔔 Subscribe/Follow for step-by-step planting guides, winterizing garden tips, and garden-to-table recipes! 💬 Are you planting garlic or perennial onions this fall?

What’s more American than apple pie? Preserving the harvest to enjoy all winter long! 🥧🍎 We just took a trip to our local orchard to stock up on fresh apples for three major homestead preservation projects: traditional apple pie filling, smooth applesauce, and slow-cooked apple butter. But if you’ve ever had your pie turn into a watery mess or your applesauce taste totally flat, it all comes down to choosing the right variety for the job. In this video, I’m breaking down my exact orchard haul—using Northern Spy for the ultimate pie structure, a blend of McIntosh and Golden Delicious for the best applesauce balance, and McIntosh and Fuji for a rich, naturally sweetened apple butter that simmers down to perfection. Plus, we’re keeping things completely low-glycemic by using monk fruit instead of refined sugar! Whether you’re an experienced canner or getting ready for your first fall water-bath canning session, this step-by-step workflow will help you build the ultimate pantry shelf. 📍 Farming & Homesteading in the USA: From Michigan orchards to your kitchen counter, let’s get this fall harvest in the jars! 👇 Drop a comment below: What’s your all-time favorite apple variety for baking?
