This is one of my first YouTube videos on food preparation and storage. Lemon cukes? Yep. I'm not a fan of pickles but Mr. Holstein liked them. . . . When you’re micro-homesteading, garden harvests rarely come in all at once. Instead of letting small pickings sit around until they spoil, I like to do quick, small-batch processing. Reusing clean containers to hold pre-mixed pickling brine in the fridge lets me process a jar or two of lemon cucumbers as soon as they’re picked—saving money and preventing food waste. How do you handle staggered garden harvests on your setup? Drop your favorite small-batch preservation tips in the comments below! 🎥 Watch the full video here:
Join me on YouTube today, 27 Jul 26, LIVE at 10:00 E.D.T. Episode 145: We'll catch up on the growing season, maybe talk about how tariffs may affect pantry stocking by fall. Make a list of what you cooked over the past week or so. Maybe we can start planning on how to build our pantry before things get out-of-hand? Oh, and whatever else you want to chat about. https://www.youtube.com/live/HcLC3h1Ov38?si=Lzu2-nMZdI-lXAK0

On the way to Roanoke VA to buy a transmission for his VW car. So, here’s a pic of my only pumpkin this year. #grownostr image
Also, my first sourdough since last year. I have to rebuild my starter. #nostr #grownostr. image
“Ox tail” stew in the slow cooker. Actually Ohio beef, but you know. #nostr #grownostr image
As far as I know this event is still a go. I was originally supposed to start 8:00 p.m. but that may be adjusted some. Pack a cooler with snacks and soft drinks, grab your chairs (an maybe an umbrella) and come out for this great event! #wv #usa #gospelsing #nostr #grownostr image

The garden has been left to its own too long! With days of rain, temps above 100°f, and Dad in the hospital the weeds were knee high on the 4th of July! I did manage to lift some garlic, harvest the first tomatoes, Swiss chard, and some onion this morning before delivering eggs and visiting Dad. #garden #homesteading #life #wv #usa #nostr #grownostr image

🪻 Limited Edition: The Holstein House Lavender Cookie Experience 🪻 Summer has fully arrived in the Kanawha Valley, and our permaculture garden is officially putting on a show! The culinary lavender on the property is in peak bloom, which means our kitchen is filling with the incredible aroma of fresh-baked, scratch-made lavender cookies. Delicate, buttery, and infused with blossoms harvested right outside our door, they are the ultimate sweet pairing for a warm cup of morning tea or coffee. Because our lavender harvest is small and entirely dependent on the summer blooming season, these homemade treats are a highly limited-time luxury. To celebrate the harvest, we are reserving these garden-fresh cookies as an exclusive perk for guests who book directly with us. Skip the third-party booking apps, secure your summer road trip or weekend getaway on our official website, and taste true West Virginia hospitality while the blossoms last! ✨ Rooms are limited, and so is the lavender bloom! ✨ 👇 Click the link in the comment below to view our live calendar and claim your direct-booking harvest perk. #nostr #grownostr #cookies #lavender #WV #USA #travel #bnb image
