Homestead Blog Hop 344

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop 344!

Hello on Wednesday, June 9, 2021 and welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop 344.

Missed last week's hop? You'll find it right here: Homestead Blog Hop 343.

What's New at An Off Grid Life

We're busy at home, in the garden, and on the blog too. In the garden, Rory and I planted 100 seed potatoes. We saved most of our smallest potatoes from last year's garden, and bought one bag of Yukon Gold potatoes to plant as well.

Our family eats a TON of potatoes so it makes sense for us. We also started more tomatoes and peppers. Late this year, I know. However, we plant them in containers and move them around outdoors until mid August, then into our covered porch or laundry room.

We were also fortunate to get in two trackbeds of really good soil to help our garden grow. Catch up with our adventures on Instagram - seriously. And check out the homemade trailer our neighbour lent us.

I also added five new resources to our Homeschool Nature Collection, including a Mosquito Study, Insect Observation Pack, Plant Inspection Journal and Bingo Card, Weather Instruments Activity Pack, and a new Kids Hiking Pack

New On The Blog

Here's what is new and improved on the blog this week:

Now on to the Hop

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to's, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
