First tomato and pea plants of the year! These are all tiny varieties that I’ll grow fully indoors to get us a jump start on harvesting. Larger varieties are still tucked away in their seed packs. We’ve got Tom Thumb peas and for the tomatoes: Tiny Tim, Orange Hat, Micro Tom, and Tomato Tumbler.

Savoring these final evenings milking by lantern. Rose was bred several times last fall and finally settled in November. That means babies are expected around April 10th! It also means we need to give her body a break from producing milk for us so she can focus on growing those kids. It’s been such a treat having milk through these winter months.

Outdoor gardens are resting and indoor seedlings are popping! These early starts will begin feeding us in just a few weeks. My first time growing Red Russian Kale. Had no idea the young leaves were spiky!

Snow day means soap day! This is a goat milk salt bar with pink kaolin clay and manjistha root powder. I love how the salt crystals look like snow flakes.

Cold temps pair well with a fresh midday bucket of warm water.

Pepper harvest time! I planted around 15 varieties of sweet peppers this year and tried growing them in multiple locations to see where they’d thrive. Our driveway garden in grow bags was by far the most successful. These plants grew to 5’ tall and are still loaded with peppers after several harvests. This area only gets 5-6 hours of full sun as it’s in the shade starting around 1pm. But the combination of asphalt heat and morning sun + grow bags with saucers to keep water and nutrients from draining out seems to be a winning combination. The most successful variety by far was Ancient Sweets. Large, beautiful, red, and sweet. Plus a great shape for stuffing, dipping, roasting, or chopping. Highly recommended.

After taking several years off, we are excited to begin again with our new herd!

Went from harvesting the final tomatoes and peppers yesterday to our first snow this morning!

November vibes and temps are finally dropping. A very late pumpkin harvest this year and still many are green. Fortunately, most will continue to ripen indoors. #goatsandgardens #vegetarianhomestead #pumpkinseason #pumpkinharvest #seminolepumpkin #harvesttime

Lots of sickness going around and I needed an extra boost today. I harvested some fig leaves and elderberries then dried the fig leaves for tea and boiled the elderberries for syrup. Both were deeply nourishing. One way I keep the joy of homesteading alive and avoid burnout is to process small batches of things when I can fit it in and when I need them or am inspired by them. I only gathered 20 fig leaves and 1/2 cup of elderberries because that felt doable. Small output, big impact.

Rhubarb season! These roasted rhubarb slices almost didn’t make it into the scones they were so tasty by themselves. #rhubarb #rhubarbseason #rhubarbscones #goatmilk #goatmilkscones #teaandscones #vegetarianhomestead #goatsandgardens

We only grew one tiny watermelon this year 😆 but it was worth it for the rind alone — such a treat for the goats! #nigeriandwarfgoats #goatsandgardens #goatsnacks #vegetarianhomestead #tinywatermelon

Made a batch of goat milk yogurt last night. It’s incredible. Naturally I needed some granola to add and since @terianncarty just posted her Pecan Pumpkin Pie Granola recipe I had to try it. Look at those huge chunks! It came out beautifully. #nigeriandwarfgoats #goatyogurt #homemadeyogurt #vegetarianhomestead #homemadegranola #homemadefood #goatmilk #goatmilking

Garden salad just got elevated! #nigeriandwarfgoats #milkinggoats #goatcheese #chevre #gardensalad #vegetarianhomestead #makingcheese #goatsandgardens

Comfrey snack! A perk of an overgrown weedy garden is the ease of chop and drop. But before these chopped leaves go back on the garden beds as a top dressing, the goats can have their fill. #nigeriandwarfgoats #goatsandgardens #comfrey #chopanddrop #goatsnacks

Top notch snuggles this morning
