Holy wow. I’m curious about the tomatoes, do you can them for sauce? I used to freeze mine with decent results.
I started making sun dried tomatoes and store them in olive oil, however I also am planting more tomatoes than last year so any suggestions/tips you’d like to share :)
Thanks for your answer, and kudos to you and yours for such an immense and important project! I am working towards that goal myself and am in full absorption mode, nothing better than hearing what others are doing and learning all I can.
It’s a process and every year you see an improvement over the previous one.
5 years ago I’ve had a meadow that was slowly overgrowing with trees and some old, mostly dead fruit trees that look like from a horror movie around the house.
With just me an my wife working on it we got to half an acre of a garden, a greenhouse, tiny vineyard (if you can call 20 plants that), 50-60 fruit trees and bushes. I intend to add beehives and a chicken coop before summer.
Full 3 racks of goodness
What’s in the bottom left? Lemongrass?Onion. Nice.
unless you’re selling it, you won’t ever need to grow lemongrass more than once in your entire life.
last year I got enough to harvest and mill an entire 32oz mason jar of lemongrass and still had enough stalk to freeze. all from a 1ftsq plot.
tempting to start extracting oils from it though.
That’s impressive!
This is for sale, not just for home?
I don’t sell any. What we don’t eat gets canned

With tomatoes as primary ingredient we make:
and they are added to a bunch of other things - e.g. some of the pickles

I would love to see your process, do you stream, at all?
full time job + garden + restoring the house I live in… there aren’t enough hours in the day
How big is your garden?!?
~2000m^2 / half an acre.
It was a meadow slowly overgrowing with random trees 5 years ago, so it took quite a bit of effort to get there
Must be an incredibly rewarding experience to get to that point and start seeing the fruits (literally) of your labor. Congrats!
