this the homestead um I have always loved gardening even back when I lived in Florida and just didn’t have the ability to Garden the way that I would like to um we lived really close to the ocean so Salt Air was always a big problem yeah they uh made uh the plants suffer and uh the Salt Air did and uh so as soon as we came to Georgia we’re like great we have space and even now we we don’t have as much space as I would love um because we have a sunlight issue in our yard we have a lot of very tall trees as you can see here in this background very very tall trees so that we pick the sunniest part in our yard and created these raed bed gardens and um we’re just trying to be as self-sufficient as we can grow our own food 2020 hit hard and we want um food Independence so interesting fact one of my most popular in fact I think it is my most popular video on the ginger Optimist is my shampoo bar and Lisa you are the one who got me started in soaping did I I forgot about that yeah yeah in
