EP 388: Essential Skills for the Modern Homesteader
One of the most commonly asked questions I get is how does someone start homesteading. I get this question from people who already have their forever homestead, and from people who don’t yet have that property. Truth be told, there’s a LOT you can be doing to prepare yourself for this modern homesteading lifestyle right now, no matter where you live. From an apartment in the city, to 40 acres on a homestead, there are skills you can be learning and mastering that will bring you in to this modern homestead life. For more information and any links mentioned in this episode, visit: https://melissaknorris.com/388.

Pruning Elderberries, Seed Starting & Using Cold Frames (Gardening in April)
If you're growing elderberries, it's important to know how to prune elderberry bushes for maximum growth. In today's video, I'm showing you how to do light and hard pruning as well as how to transplant and keep elderberry off-shoots from taking over an area.
I'm also sharing my newest favorite seed-starting tool, as well as how I'm using cold-frames in the garden to get a jump-start on the growing season.
To learn more about pruning elderberry bushes, visit the blog post here: https://melissaknorris.com/how-to-prune-elderberry-bushes-for-maximum-growth
