Let me let you in on a secret...
These You Tubers are such a bad influence on me. Watching them is like watching late nigh television. You know with all the ads for things you need to make your life so much easier, better, more for-filled... You get the picture!
Let me start with Roots and Refuge Farm. Jess, I love you girl.... But stop influencing me!! 😜
See she talked about her Berkey. I have wanted one for forever! Well, once the stimulus money came in I had to order it. I mean if it's good enough for Jess, Miah and the kids.... Then by golly, it's good enough for me and mine!
We can't forget the potatoes! Jess got them started and I said that I need to make sure we have some food security. I'm waiting on 72 to be shipped from Burgess Seed and Plant Company. They include Yukon, Kennebec, Red Pontiac and of course I can't forget Centennial Sweet Potatoes. Plus a few extra things that jumped into my cart while shopping.
Ope, and Hudson Valley Seed Company. Jess was talking about them and I was interested in the sunflowers she was talking about. Once I was there I found out that they had the HONEYNUT SQUASH seeds.... Sorry to yell but they are the absolutely best squash I have ever eaten and I only got 2 last year. I expected to be able to back and get more before the season was over. So I didn't save the seeds from the yet unknown to me love of my life!!!! 😁
As you can see the packaging is so beautiful. I just had to have them. Don't mind the mess we were in the middle of multiple projects at once.
Now let me tell you about the next Bad Influence on my list.
It's Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. I love watching both of you and going down the rabbit hole to the next video!
You all know I have dabbled with fermentation on and off for years. With the last couple years not so much. Well, in that time I have developed a thyroid condition. So I have kicked around the idea of getting back into it. Well, along comes Doug and Stacy. Making it all seem so easy and delicious looking.
So since I can't find my pickle pipes that I bought years ago and never used. I went with Stacy's recommendation to check out Masontops. I did and bought the Complete fermentation kit and of course 4 pickle pipes just wasn't going to be enough. I had to order 8 more. Then I want to make sauerkraut again after watching Stacy. I didn't have any gallon jars so I had to order them. Luckily when Stacy recommended a book, I was smart enough to check the bookshelf... Whew.... I didn't have to spend any more money cause it was already on the shelf!
Please don't mind the white leg.... I haven't gotten any good sun to tan up yet!
Next up is Living Traditions Homestead. Kevin and Sarah, you both are fabulous to watch!
Let's just say I have 2 books on bunnies and the parts to fix my pressure canner on they way. These items are still on the way so no pictures of them!
And as soon as we relocate out of the city. I want Idaho Pasture Pigs. Watching your girls and piglets has been a joy. Charlie, definitely is a big boy but he doesn't appear to be mean at all. We will also be building chicken and rabbit tractors following your designs.
All I can truly say is I hope they continue being a bad influence on me. They have helped to get me motivated once again to getting my life back in order. I'm sad it has taken me this long to get my butt back in gear. Now that it is though, there is no stopping me!
Smile Loudly
&
Live Blessed
