Gardening, cooking, and food preservation on a suburban 1/4 acre homestead in KY.
Welcome to my Backyard KY Homestead. While I live in the suburbs instead of a sprawling farm, there's still so much that can be done to make my family more self-reliant. We can't do it all, but with the help of local shops, farmers and markets, we can work together to fill in the gaps to have a sustainable supply of quality food that doesn't cost a lot. Whether you live in a small apartment or have acreage, there are so many options to explore. We just need a little creativity to find our path. There is no one vision or one right answer. We can all have a version of homesteading that fits our circumstances. I'd welcome you to subscribe and join us as we continue on our path to more self-reliance.

We have a freeze warning ⚠️ tonight, so these are the last flowers from the 2024 garden. 😔

We got a lot of rain this weekend. 😲 Fortunately, there wasn't any major damage in the area. Sending prayers for all those harmed by the hurricane.

I'll be posting my final potato harvest for 2024 tomorrow. I'll also include a summary of all by 2024 potato growing experiments. Some big wins, a big fail, and a few in between. See you soon!

Harvesting brings such pleasure to the soul and really good eats too! This round includes hot peppers, sweet peppers, tomatoes, okra (of course), acorn squash (major win!), basil and more. 🥰
