The Ellison Homestead - The Start of Our Homestead Journey
Late last summer I got the idea to start a garden, purchased two small garden beds and planted a couple of quick growing veggies just to see if I could. I never had a green thumb, nor did I care to, but the idea of being self sufficient has always sounded appealing. It turns out I loved it!
These Are A Problem! | Do You Have Them In Your Yard? | Happenings On The Homestead
Well, the garden is growing, and of course, that brings the pests. I have one I am dealing with in the potato and tomato area. They are called Tortoise Beetles, and they like to eat leaves. Something much worse is on our homestead, and that is caterpillars. They are eating the leaves right off the trees, down to nothing. Luckily the chickens will eat them, but not fast enough, and they can't reach way up in the trees. Do you have these in your yard? Scary.

Opinion: DIY is Easier Than Most People Think
The DIY craze has taken on a mind of its own since the pandemic. Many people are tackling projects they'd once put off. The projects can be as simple as repainting or refinishing a floor or furniture. Coming from rural Tennessee in the Appalachian Mountains, our parents instilled a sense of self-reliance in us. We often do things for ourselves that many people would hire done in modern times.
