We all want to keep things natural in our gardens, I mean after all it's the reason many of us have started growing our own food.
I have made a YouTube video and this accompanying document to help you explore your options with how to work with the critters in your garden and maintain a thriving, healthy and organic garden.
Check out the YouTube video for more visuals and information about pests in the garden.

It's Vlogmas Time!

This December I will be attempting to make daily videos with a Christmas twist, and so you can join in the fun I have made a calendar of all the fun activities I plan on doing in between all the busy-ness of a homestead. 

Of course I will also be sharing lots about the challenge on our Instagram page and YouTube, so follow along and make sure to share some of your own challenges with us!

What's your gut flora number? How many varieties of whole foods do you consume?

Have you ever heard these terms? Go with your gut, butterflies in my stomach, or sick to my stomach.

I have always been interested in the effects of food on our body and health. Recently I have been reading up on and researching gut flora and the impacts of food on mental health and stress. It has been so interesting to see how so much is based on the food we consume.

I put together a list of all the food we eat, from vegetables to spices, animal based and plant based. To see how much variety exists in our diets. Did you know from 300,000 edible plants most of us consume about 200. I challenge you to put together your own list, think of every whole ingredient you eat, each part of a plant counts as a different ingredient eg. Radish, radish leaves, seed pods.

Go on, tell me what's your number.
