How big is too big for a raised garden bed? - Great question!

The size of a raised garden bed really depends on your specific needs and space availability.

However, as a general rule, a raised garden bed should be no wider than 4 feet so that you can easily reach the center from either side. As for the length, it can vary depending on your space availability, but it`s important to keep in mind that the taller the bed, the more soil and water it will require. 🌱🌻🍅 #RaisedGardenBeds #GardeningTips #GreenThumbs #HomeGardening #GardenDesign

I WANTED to make sourdough bread, but to be honest, sourdough just plain old scared me.

The directions looked complicated.
Special equipment was often required (like scales)
Flours were recommended that I don’t often use
There was A LOT of waste.
The commitment was staggering (twice a day, forever).
And everyone seemed to experience a lot of failures.
I didn’t want to make THAT KIND of sourdough.

I knew if sourdough was going to be a success in my busy life it had to be:

❤️ Simple (no fuss!)
❤️Quick (A few minutes a day)
❤️Easy (Something a 7-year-old could do)
❤️Flexible (Something I could put down for a while when life got busy)
❤️Practical (It had to fit into a busy homestead life!)

So, I set out to find a method that fit all of these criteria…

I killed a few starters along the way…

but I finally found the method I was looking for!

Wondering what happens if you let sourdough proof too long? 🍞

If you leave it to proof for an extended period, the sourdough will eventually use up all its food source (starches and sugars) and over ferment. This can lead to over proofed dough, resulting in a flat, dense, or overly sour loaf of bread. 😮

To avoid this, keep an eye out for these 4 signs that your sourdough has finished proofing:
1️⃣ The dough has doubled in size.
2️⃣ It has a bubbly and airy texture.
3️⃣ When gently pressed, the dough retains an indent.
4️⃣ A slight tangy smell is present.

Remember, rescuing over proofed sourdough is possible but more challenging. So, monitor your dough`s proofing time to achieve deliciously fluffy bread every time! Happy baking! 🥖✨

Attention Homestead Moms! 🌻🍂🌾 Fall is here and it`s the perfect time to start planning your fall garden. Here are 5 tips to help you get started:
1️⃣ Choose the right plants: Look for plants that thrive in cooler temperatures, such as lettuce, kale, spinach, and broccoli.

2️⃣ Prep your soil: Make sure your soil is well-drained and has plenty of nutrients. Consider adding compost or other organic matter to improve the soil quality.

3️⃣ Protect your plants: As the temperatures start to drop, be sure to protect your plants from frost and cold winds. Cover them with blankets or tarps, or consider using a cold frame or greenhouse.

4️⃣ Water wisely: While it`s important to keep your plants hydrated, be careful not to overwater them. Too much water can lead to root rot and other issues. Water deeply and infrequently, and try to water in the morning to avoid excess moisture overnight.

5️⃣ Harvest regularly: Don`t forget to harvest your crops regularly to keep them healthy and productive. Plus, you`ll get to enjoy the fruits of your labor!
