BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

wow what a cellar!! Right now I have all my canning crammed under the bed and over flowing my kitchen cabinets! I would love to have a set up like that!

Building a root cellar is on my wish list... But I doubt it will happen anytime soon

I had the plans all drawn up for a pantry in the basement, gave it to my hubby, and I'm still waiting. It's on my list to do myself this winter. Then next year, I should be able to have some pics like that!

Looks great BB! Question: how do you eat your chow chow? Instead of relish on a sandwich or what?

Soup Beans, It is the best in those beans. Its not actually a root cellar, its the craw space. But used as a cellar. I will try and find that tomato soup recipe, Blessed Life.

Wow sounds like a great plan! I have a lot of similar goals but mine may take a few years before I have our new place set up to produce food for us and the animals... Right now I'm just working on getting some food for us!

As for the sunflowers... What I did this year was got "DWARF SUNSPOT" SUNFLOWER~Seeds They make large heads like the mammoth but only grow 2 ft tall... and planted them in the flower beds I made around the house... Since our soil is so crappy they did bad this year but I'm going to rework the beds next spring and add loads of bunny poo and hope for a better crop of sunflowers... But since they are so compact they are easier to work into your landscaping so you don't have to hog up garden space with the huge tall mammoth ones...
