A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

Pumpkin Harvest....

We harvested our few pumpkins and squash on the weekend.


Sadly some of the Butternut squash cracked....


Going for another load...


Sadly, the Acorn squash were the choice for a rodent.  It ruined every single Acorn squash in the garden....


The pumpkins look great, this one's my favourite!  Perfect shape for carving!


Happy Harvesting Everyone!

    Is the squash meat still good?

    The pumpkins are lovely!

    The squash are very chewed. I think Ron's mother took a few home and found out they are not usable. I have a few from my own garden that are perfect.
