Wowza! I am so excited to share some incredible gardens and urban homesteads with Northwest Edible Life Readers. I’ve taken a sneak peak at a few of the gardens being shared today by amazing gardeners all over the US (and possibly beyond!) and I’ve been blown away by the creativity and solutions I’ve observed.
It is really worth it to pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee, sit down at the computer when you have several spare minutes, browse around, and prepare to be inspired by what Northwest Edible Life Readers are growing.
Thank you to everyone who put together a post or an album to participate in this virtual tour. I had a few people RSVP on the Facebook page who didn’t provide me with a web address. If you have a homestead tour post ready and want to participate but are not listed below, please email or contact me thru Facebook as soon as possible and I will add you to our list! I don’t want to leave anyone out.
Thanks again to everyone who’s joining in. Enjoy the virtual tour!
Ok, here’s mine…I’m as longwinded when I speak as I am when I write, so I had to break my tour into two videos, each about six minutes long. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for joining me!

Thanks for hosting this tour Erica! Great idea.. and your video is fantastic 🙂
Laughed out loud at your crazy pullets! And I'm SO jealous of your green house. Your kale is HUGE!! Also I love the pear trees out front on the wires – we were thinking of doing something similar with apples in our side yard.
So – non gardening question: what do you use to edit your video?
I'm totally impressed by the amount of food you have! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Jessi, thanks Anisa!
Anisa, I use iMovie. It's really easy but takes for-e-ver to work with the thousands of still and video clips I have. I would open a project, go to a party while it opened, come back, work for awhile, have to switch projects, go clean the garage while it opened…etc. 🙂
Just browsed through everything – gorgeous! Such a difference in the different climates! Fun! Let's do it again in another month or two!
Love the videos. Thanks for posting.
You mentioned having a problem with slugs in the one raised bed, I just wanted to mention that I have seen someone who puts a strip of sandpaper all the way around the top of the raised bed–I don't think it has to be a wide strip, I guess they don't like crawling over it. Maybe that will help!

Nice job with the videos! Love the chickens, our like to sleep all bunched up like that too.
Thanks for putting this all together. I'm off to be a nosy neighbor and check out all the other posts.
Great posting Erica! I love your videos, and your garden looks awesome. Super productive!!!
WOW! Touring all those gardens was fun, but I'm up way past my bedtime. Your videos were so awesome. Thank you.

Hi, I’m gluten free, and I also can’t eat cheeses from the store… I was interested in buying some of his cheeses. Cause there homemade.
