A @SHALOMACRES KIND OF MIND - PART 1
Because of steemit, I've been exposed to all sorts of experienced people with some excellent ideas.
While I can't say for sure that this idea originated with @shalomacres, he's certainly where I was exposed to it. In this vlog, I share about gaining a deeper understanding into this concept and contemplating how to apply it to my life.
VLOG - @SHALOMACRES KIND OF MIND - PART 1
THE BASIC CONCEPT
While hanging out with @shalomacres before, he exposed to the idea that not every crop needs to be grown on a yearly basis. If you are preserving the harvest with a method such as canning or pickling, you could potentially preserve enough to last for two years. If you've got two years' worth of a food harvested and preserved, then you really don't need to grow any to preserve the following year.
This past week, after watching two additional gardens, I managed to pickle fifty four quart jars of cucumbers. Basically, if we wanted to eat a jar of pickles every week of the year, then I just canned a year's supply. Such a large amount of one particular being preserved in such a short amount of time brought back the wisdom that I heard from @shalomacres. While I may not exactly have grown all of this myself, and it may not exactly be a two year supply, it still got me thinking. One thing to remember, though, is that any food you'd want to eat fresh would still need to be planted yearly.
Anyway, I hope this provided some worthwhile insight into gardening and food preservation, and make sure to stay tuned for Part 2, where I share another exciting gardening idea! Be blessed.

Good stuff....:)...
My kind of post! I just sliced and pickled a jar or two the other day. Nothing on your scale but maybe one day I'll get to that point! Awesome brother! Gonna check out @shalomacres by the way.
Nice! @shalomacres is less active lately, but a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
Incredible!
A years to two years supply of cucumbers. Just like that! Grandma cans and is teaching Bridget how to can. So once we get all moved in we plan on canning.
It's a great skill to master!
If you can can, can!
I didn't try pickle cucumber before, does it taste good.
Yes! Though like so many things in life, it depends highly on the seasonings and the seasoner.
It's so unique, you think of a really great way.
I have to 100% agree with this thinking. Plus it gives you the chances to rotate your garden beds, as well as experiment with new plants, vegetables and even herbs that you may not have had room to grow before.
I love cukes and especially pickled ones!!
Great idea for homesteaders!!
Yes papa i acknowledge you in my today post as you celebrate 2 year on steemit and has steemit has been home for us all thanks @papa-pepper

That is amazing! Thanks so much!
I like your focus on making the most of your time. Taking something with each trip (with the trailer), preparing and freezing 14 meals at one time, and growing enough one year so you don't have to grow it the next. You are making good use of your time, so you have more time to do other things. And you spend that time with your family, which I highly admire. :)
