Kings Mountain State Park Camping Trip Part 1 We finally had some downtime from planting and maintaining the yard and property to get away and do some camping. My family along with two other YouTube families that we are friends with went to Kings Mountain State Park which is in Blacksburg, SC right on the North Carolina and South Carolina State line. This is a big historical site as it was the turning point in the Revolutionary War for the Americans. Here is the link to Kings Mountain State Park: https://southcarolinaparks.com/kings-mountain?gclid=Cj0KCQjw6cKiBhD5ARIsAKXUdyZCv15Ezx-QWNITLXr0U_ER9t9eRp6L5ETUeue_aKAgWe78rTb-cTkaAnwuEALw_wcB We were camping with Shannon from Swamp Stalker Outdoors and Matt Dean from Dean Family Acres.

Last week we told you about a plant haul we purchased from a group called "Plants for Everyone" that is in Asheville, North Carolina. Last week we picked them up and brought them home. We soaked the trees in a 5 gallon bucket of water overnight and the next afternoon, we got to planting. We are planting 4 Carya Hardy Pecan Trees, 1 Jiro Persimmon, and 1 Pink Lady Apple Trees. The pecan are going next to our Dunstan Chestnut trees and the Persimmon and Pink Lady will go in our fruit orchard. Along with this, we got some muscadine vines and some Blueberry bushes from "Plants for Everyone" sale as well. All of these are bareroot so it is important to get them in the ground or in a container as soon as possible for their survival. We mix up a mixture of peat moss and potting soil for the blue berry bushes making sure to soak the peat moss ahead of time. Then we use straight potting soil for the muscadine bushes. We also pot up the bare root trees that are going to my cousin for him to plant. Come along and join us on this journey of building out our small hobby farm. The ride is going to be fun.

In this video, we're answering the challenge from Dean Family Acres to settle the debate on the correct pronunciation of "Ouachita". We'll be discussing the history of the name. While we are at it, the correct pronunciation is actually "Waa-Shee-Tuh" or "Wash-uh-taw" which we actually butcher in the video haha. Additionally, we'll be sharing how we went in together with other members of Homesteaders of The Southeast Facebook Group to form a "group buy" on Blackberries in order to get them at a discounted rate. The blackberries were bought from Pense Nursery in Arkansas. I have a link to their site here: https://penseberryfarm.com/collections/blackberry-plant-varieties If you're a fan of the Ouachita Blackberry or simply interested in linguistics, this video is for you! Whether you're a seasoned gardener or new to fruit cultivation, this video will share our experiences with buying blackberries in bulk with a large group.

This short video is to show you how I like to use a pitcher or a mixing bowl with a pouring spout to pour pancake batter. This is a better method than ladling the batter out of a bowl onto a surface. I like to use a circular motion when pouring and you can also take your whisk and smooth it out if you want perfectly round pancakes.

This short video is to show you the consistency that pancake batter should be.

When the edges get set and the middle starts to bubble, it is time to flip your pancakes. These are almost ready, just waiting on the bubbling to start.

Welcome to our beautiful springtime orchard! In this video, you'll get to enjoy the breathtaking sight of our peach, pear, and nectarine trees in full bloom.

The delicate pink and white blossoms are a true feast for the eyes and the senses, and the bees buzzing around them are a sure sign that spring is in full swing. Take a stroll with us through our orchard and admire the beauty of nature as these trees prepare for another fruitful season. You'll get a close-up look at the blossoms and the intricate details of the trees, as well as a glimpse of the surrounding landscape and the blue sky overhead. We hope you enjoy this peaceful and serene video, and that it brings a touch of springtime magic to your day!

In this video, we share how we make our southern-style egg salad and give you optional ingredients to make it how you wish. Southern Style Egg salad has been a staple dish in American cuisine for centuries and continues to be a favorite among many. It is simple to prepare, versatile, and delicious, making it a perfect option for both weekdays and weekends. Southern cuisine is known for its comfort foods and its use of bold flavors.

About Egg Salad: Egg Salad is a very versatile recipe that can be made into an egg salad sandwich, you could have a keto-friendly version and eat the egg salad on a bed of lettuce or an egg salad lettuce wrap. This would be a great keto-friendly or low-carb-friendly. Egg salad can also be eaten plain with crackers as a spread too. Recipe: For a printable version, visit our website, southernfoodjunkie.com Ingredients 8 large eggs 3 tablespoons of Mayonnaise 2 tablespoons of Yellow Mustard 1/4 teaspoon of Salt 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper Instructions Egg Preparation The first thing you will need to do is boil your eggs. Place eggs in a large stock pot half full of water. The boil times will vary, but once the water starts to boil, I set my timer for 10 minutes. This process can also be done in an instant pot. Remove from the burner and pour water out. Fill the pot back up with cold water or ice water. Once the eggs have cooled, you want to peel them and then chop the eggs up. Making Egg Salad Cut eggs in half. Remove the yolk and add to a large bowl. Using a fork, break up the egg yolks Add in mayonnaise and yellow mustard. Mix all ingredients well until all are incorporated. Chop up egg whites and add to the bowl. Add salt and black pepper. Mix all ingredients until well incorporated.

Try this hack to get rid of your smelly garbage disposal. If your garbage disposal stinks, this hack will get rid of the smell. This can be done as often as needed and it’s cheap to do! Give it a try!

Today I am showing you the reason why I am spraying dormant oil on my fruit trees. After last year, I realized that I couldn't just leave my fruit trees to be and be able to harvest fruit from them. One tree, in particular, was severely damaged by insects and ruined all of my fruit. Also, while pruning this year, I noticed some insect eggs on one apple tree. This year I am trying to be more proactive in my approach so I am trying to spray my trees to protect them as much as I can while avoiding harsh chemicals. I try to be as natural as I can, I know some don't believe in anything added in but I believe in some inputs that are needed. I will be spraying this year with dormant oil and possibly a fungicide in a few weeks. We will continue to build out our fruit tree guilds and continue to add companion plants to help deter what bugs and fungus we can. We will also add in spraying compost tea as well. The beneficial bacteria in compost tea are supposed to benefit the trees as well as kill some funges also. As we have stated many times, this is all trial and error for us as this is our first fruit orchard. It is all a learning process and we are sharing our experiences with you so you can learn too. Do you want to help? You can help by following us on social media and sharing our posts and videos.

Today I’m showing how we make biochar. In order to make biochar, you need to first make charcoal. We simply use a fire pit to do this. After we make charcoal, we may leave it in the fire pit for a few days to a few weeks until we have time to deal with it. Next thing we do is break it up, then we store it in a metal bin until we are ready to use it. When we make our compost layers ( browns and greens) each week, we add a scope of charcoal to the compost as we build it up. At this point, it becomes biochar after it has inoculated in the compost like with beneficial microbes, bacteria, and nutrients! Then the biochar compost can be used in the garden to benefit your plants and soil.

Greetings Food Junkie Followers, We were informed by a marketing agency for O'Charlety's that they have a new lunch menu out and were asked to check it out. I have to be honest, I hadn't eaten there in a few years and the food had good down a bit. I used to love their rolls and their potato soup. I am not sure if the restaurant is under new management and they are trying to revamp it, but nevertheless, we decided to check them out to see what the fuss was about. The new lunch menu has a pick 2 where you can pick half of one and half of the other combo. It comes with a drink for $9.99. My question was this: How is the service, and how does the food taste? Come along and find out as we get food junked on some O'Charley's food.

If you have been around here a while, you will know that we have tried a few of the flavors that Jumex offers. We are continuing down this winding road by reviewing Jumex Peach Nectar today. My questions to you all are, have you tried Jumex Peach Nectar before? A few of the flavors we have tried were viewer recommendations, but this one I saw, and being a peach fan, thought I give it a go on my own. The first thing to know is that Jumex peach nectar isn't the same as peach juice. This is also not a healthy food drink, it is similar to drinking a soda. It has lots of sugar and therefore should be enjoyed on occasion. I chose the Jumex peach nectar that is in a can. I typically enjoy sodas and drinks from a can as I feel the flavor is true. Jumex also sells its drinks in a box-type container.

Persimmon Pudding is a traditional American dessert that is as old as America itself. This rich, decadent dessert is great to enjoy around the Fall and Winter holiday seasons. If you have not tried this Old-Fashioned Persimmon Pudding Recipe before, you are in for a real treat! Although I am not quite sure if Persimmon Pudding originated from the South, it is often enjoyed here and folks have been making it since before the 1900s. Fall is the time that the Native American Persimmon Trees’ fruit ripens, and with that comes many persimmons desserts. Out of all the Persimmon desserts, this one may be my favorite. What Is Persimmon Pudding? Persimmon pudding is an old classic American Dessert. It combines the fresh pulp from persimmons, ( You can use any type of persimmon, but I prefer to use the Wild American Persimmons) egg, milk, and flour mixture. It has cinnamon and butter that makes a gooey delicious dessert that is truly a one-of-a-kind hit. The texture will remind you of fudgy brownies where the edges are chewy and the inside is soft and gooey. It is lightly spiced and has hits of caramel.

Hello Food Junkie Followers, Today I am sharing with you a Christmas Dessert treat that my wife and kids make each year. The Pretzel M&M Hugs are so easy to make and they are so addictive to eat. This is a salty and sweet treat. You can make these year-round with regular Hersey Kisses Milk Chocolates and regular m&m but at Christmas time we like to use the Hersey Hugs and the Christmas colored M&M's. To me, the Christmas Pretzel M&M Hugs are the best ones to make though. I like the white chocolate in the Hersey hugs and you still have the milk chocolate in the M&M's.
