Yes you can make mustard at home! Simply soak mustard seeds in vinegar or beer for 2 days at a 2:1 liquid to seeds ratio, add a little salt and hit it with the stick blender. Mustard greens are really easy to grow and as a bonus tbey act as a pest trap for the bug that like to eat broccoli and cabbage so for my southerm hemisphere friends its mustard planting time right now. Time to have a go at growing and making your own mustard. Ill be adding a little honey to this batch to sweeten it up a bit.

More than just the weed control. We added Chiva and MowMow onto the homestead over a year ago. They have been brilliant at managing weeds and maintaining their primary paddock. But so much more than that they seek out our company for pats, snacks and the occasional tethered walk around the property Nothing beats the soft nuzzles, bleated greetings, and the endless antics that turn a backyard into a comedy club. Feeling sad... Get a goat!!

Small actions make a big difference

More Than Just the Eggs While the eggs are the delicious payoff, the benefits don’t stop there. Keeping a small flock introduces you to the gentle rhythm of caring for animals. There’s a quiet satisfaction in letting them out in the morning, watching them explore, and collecting warm eggs from the nesting box. It’s a small connection to a more self-sufficient lifestyle, right in your own garden. #homesteading
