Shepherding Peppers Farm

Hey Ya'll, welcome to our little hobby farm. I'm thrilled you're here! I hope you'll find a comfy chair, a cup of something hot and wonderful, and spend sometime with us.

As a horticulturist, teaching and sharing this amazing world of growing your food, utilizing your harvest, and homesteading with our family, is a passion. Every week you'll find us in the garden, working on another aspect of homesteading life, and occasionally just enjoying the wildness of raising a large family in the country. Welcome to the garden, to the kitchen, and to our small farm in South Carolina.

Faith is like a seed; plant it in your heart. God gives the harvest at the appointed time. (Mark 4:26-27,28-29)

    I want to say the solids you're straining out looks very much like apple butter. As long as it doesn't have the seeds, that can totally be jarred up (refrigerated or processed in a water bath canner I think) and used as a spread on toast or in baked goodies (like turnovers or fruit bars).

    hope your arms are ok. Hubby always says I have fireproof hands and arms with how many times I accidentally grab/touch something hot in the kitchen and just keep going. This looks like a awsome idea! I'm gonna try it and use it to top cinnamon butter pancakes.

    OMG bestie, (🤣) I do this with my peaches, I don't love apples, but I do have a peach tree and love making this. Also, I just got two more peach trees and two cherry trees. Think how amazing this would be with cherries. YUM! Love it and as always, you're looking absolutely fabulous! BTW I'm wondering if the poo thing is universal😝, my house had tropical breeze in the bathroom, and it will give me an instant headache now as an adult. Bathroom Scent Traumas. Bwahaha. Lmao. Hope your day is great!!!

    Hi Natasha this video has me wondering did you remove the apple seeds ? Because boiling them releases cyanide . Just a safety tip that most fruit tree seeds contain it and shouldn't be boiled or eaten. I know how you like research .

    I originally got the seeds from Baker Creek years ago and since then have just been saving seeds from the loofahs we have grown. If you soak the seeds for 24 hours it can help germination too. 😊

    Hi Natasha 👋 What a great harvest for a garden tour video . I was thinking of something I have seen that would make your insect elimination a little less satisfying than crushing them but the children will like this. Seth could gear this up in a minute . It only takes a hand held vacuum and a piece of plastic hose . Just tape the hose over the inlet of the hand held vacuum and you are in business. Now the only thing I would do a little different would be add a nozzle with a few holes around the sides just so it doesn't damage any delicate leaves if it's a powerful vacuum. As always God bless and happy gardening everyone.
