You Can’t Make It, If You Don’t Plant It || Sweet Potatoes, Peppers & Popcorn || September 2025

Join us for a full day on the homestead, starting with a peaceful walk to the creek garden to check on our sweet potatoes. From there, we stop by the raised beds for a big pepper harvest — and I’m so glad that our sponsor, Backwoods Home Magazine, has a great article on preserving peppers! Next, we fix a trellis for our English peas and hope we have time to plant more. Then it’s on to the popcorn field, where we hand-pick ears for the kids’ favorite snack and save a few special ones for the local agricultural fair. We wrap up the day by roasting peppers on the Blackstone to dehydrate for seasoning.
