Hey you guys, it's Carolyn from homesteading family. Now I've been preserving food for almost two decades,

and there are times I wish I could go back to my younger self and tell her what I now know. I wasted so many

hours sweating over hot canners and using untested recipes that resulted in wasted food. But while I can't go back in time, I can share

what I've learned over the years with you guys. So I'm hosting a free live online training

coming up on Thursday, June 19th, all about preserving. I'm sharing the lessons I wish I'd learn sooner, how to decide which preserving methods

to use when, and the basic steps to my top seven methods, and what you can do right now

to increase your food security.

So register now at homesteadingfamily.com forward slash podcast

dash live training. That's all one word. Now don't worry if you can't actually make it to the

live event, remember, it's online. You don't have to show up in person. But if you can't make it

even online on Thursday, June 19th, there will be a replay,

but you do have to be registered for this free event even to get access to the replay.

Hey, you guys, this is Josh and Carol with homesteading family and welcome to this week's

episode of the pantry chat food for thought. This week we're talking about the epic battle.

Battle to the death between garden and grass.

And what we're doing to try and solve our grass issues and do what Josh and I, we always try and do this,

which I think is going to benefit us, and it is benefiting us in the long run, is that we try

to improve our systems every year so

that homesteading gets easier for us year after year and this year we're tackling

this problem of grass invading our garden beds in the terrace gardens and the

cottage gardens so we're going to be talking about what we're doing to try and stop the invasion.
