Nasturtiums are a cheery, beautiful, and easy-to-grow flower. They will add some wonderful color to your veggie garden and grow great in containers if you have limited space. They can also add a peppery flavor to your favorite dishes! Their blooms, leaves and seed pods are all edible! Salads, pesto, omelets, sandwiches (and much more) will all benefit from the addition of the unique flavor of nasturtiums. There’s still time to sow this wonderful multi-purpose flower! 💚🌱

I went to Walgreens, had an 8x10 made, and framed it for the kitchen.... this is by far my favorite bee pic of the year. The nectar glistening. Gorgeous pink pollen mixed with the yellow in early spring, and contrary to the belief that bees don't forage on the Redbud trees native to our Appalachian Valley... this is likely both Redbud and of course the Red Clover, and the Dandelion people cant wait to mow over......which can be destructive to our environment....and this is why...

Backyard Wild Edibles and Medicinals   Foraging for wild native plants is another piece of the sustainable pie. Once you start to learn that we are surrounded with abundance, you already have the deep inclination to utilize those resources as much as possible. For both edible, and medicinal purpose...

Honey Bee watering station💧🐝 #HomesteadingontheHill #BedinghausBees

Ooooweee #thatish

A lost art lol

I've been raising mealworms for about 5 years or so. It's one of the best ways your chickens can get those same omega 3s that humans need. Great source of fat, and they're self sustaining. They'll morph from a mealworm to a pupae then into a darkling beetle. They mate, lay eggs and then hatch into mealworms. Best 15 bucks you can spend as a backyard bird owner! #HomesteadingontheHill

Our gorgeous conservatory in Cincinnati! One of 3 greenhouses to explore🌴

Mealworm farming is simple to do and super nutritious for your chickens!! #HomesteadingontheHill

Pear Brandy in the making. Smells soooo good already🍐🥃

Honey bee swarm on the side of a wall in a downtown alley. #OTR #Cincinnati #UrbanBees #HomesteadingontheHill #BedinghausBees

Swarm season, glad I didn't buy bee again, I was counting on this, but now we gotta find a way to reach them lol. That's a big ass colony. So big there might be 2 queens and that's why they swarmed. If I had to guess, I'd say there's at least 12 to 1500 bees in this swarm. 🐝🐝🐝🐝 #HomesteadingontheHill #BedinghausBees

Shagbark Hickory Gorgeous tree, super old!

Mung Beans are what's commonly used for bean sprouts. These are 3 days old. Water sprayed only. #HomesteadingontheHill Homesteading on the Hill

Regardless of it being so cold. The sap is still flowing! I'm up to 5 gallons and honestly my goal was just 1 lol. I planned on refilling the tiny Maple Leaf jar I had, now we'll see what I have at the end of the tapping season in a few weeks. Sap to syrup ratios are 40 to 1. That's not a typo... you'd need 40 gallons of sap to produce just 1 gallon of syrup. Then it takes at least 3 days to evaporate to consistency, then boil it all down if you have enough sap to process lol. Now you see why I'm collecting more than once a day lol. Also I only have 1 tree tapped right now bc it's my first year doing this. However I do plan to tap a few more when my tubes get here next week. Its things like this that really bring you back to earth and makes you feel the utmost appreciation for our native ancestors. If you just stand still and listen very carefully you can hear where the Maple Trees are by the sap they're naturally dropping. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁#HomesteadingontheHill

Everything from a Pine Tree is medicinal. The fresh tips, the sap, the resin, the pollen. A little bit of know how will last a lifetime. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲#HomesteadingontheHill
