Our first glass of pure, filtered rainwater! It took us an entire year, with lots of learning and frustration, but our home is finally run off of 100% rain! (And oh my, the fresh smell of a rainwater shower is indescribable!)3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/homestead
So thankful to have our homestead to work on and explore during this pandemic. We cleared some brush to make our own little camping area!3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/homestead
A rainbow of corn! I planted a couple varieties of flint corn and let them cross-pollinate to see what happened. Shucking these with the kids was so much fun, it was like opening presents. We'll let these finish drying, then use them ornamentally for a few month before grinding them for flour.1yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/Permaculture
[sun care] Sensory Friendly body sunscreen! Me and my kid both have sensory processing disorder, and sunscreen is a nightmare. We hate the smell, the greasiness, the stickiness, etc. After literal years of searching I finally found one that works for us. I can't recommend this enough (and spf 50!)2yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/SkincareAddiction
Apricots are in season here, and my garden is full of lavender, so I tried out the apricot lavender jam for the All New Ball Book of Canning. I reduced the sugar a bit and it turned out amazing! First batch of the season and looking forward to more!!3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/Canning
Christmas Day harvest! Limes, meyer lemons, cocktail grapefruit, and sudachi all grown in an unheated greenhouse, zone 7b.2yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/gardening
Pulled out some fresh jars for Sunday pancakes. Canned peaches, plum preserves, blackberry jam, and peach sauce. There's nothing like summer flavours in mid-January!3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/Canning
Not sure if this qualifies as permie, but rather than waste the space over our septic field we covered it in wildflowers. It’s been hugely successful and is buzzing with bees!5yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/Permaculture
Our citrus greenhouse all lit up! We use remay cloth and a 100 watt incandescent bulbs per tree (on an automatic temperature switch) to prevent freeze damage.3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/homestead
I make a variety of doughnuts, but I have to say that a classic cake doughnut in cinnamon sugar is my fave 🤎3yr ⋅ MarasmiusOreades ⋅ r/donuts
