and we're gonna try to do this video without any artificial lights so you can
really get a feel about how my homestead is and what it really looks like so
we're gonna try this is a unedited video and I'm gonna share with you just my day
today chores that I have to do today I'm going to be making a very frugal lunch
here and a little bit first thing I do is I always clean my kitchen sink and
we'll get the dishes started so come on and follow along with me and we'll get
working on it tonight I didn't get cleaning in my kitchen like I normally
do so I woke up to a real mess so we want to get the dishes started and I'm
so thankful for this little dishwasher that really helps me out but I'm going
to show you how I wash my dishes so the first thing I have to do is I have to go
get my large tea kettle and that's this and we're going to fill it up with water
and we're going to heat it so I have hot water to work with cleaning my kitchen
surfaces
so the part of the video that you didn't see was from the time I woke up to the
time the Sun came up I worked on the video for the next day so every morning
I work on the video for the next day so
the video I'm working on now is not for today that I'm doing it it's for the
next day so all of the videos you see are one day behind so what you see on a
Sunday I filmed on Saturday what you see on Saturday I filmed on Friday and so
what you see on Monday I'm filming on Sunday this is the only way I can seem
to get things accomplished I really would like to be able to film a little
further ahead like I used to but life is really gotten busy here on YouTube
lately and I really don't have any time to film that much further ahead alright
so now we're gonna turn our stove on and this time the stove lit really fast
sometimes my stove does not want to light very good this was a very cheap
stove and we've had it now nine years now that part's done let's get cleaning
this kitchen pretty much cleaned up and then I go ahead and I'm gonna put my
dishwasher on so this is how I put my dishwasher I'm sure most of you know how
to do this but this is what you do when you have a portable dishwasher so we're
gonna put it like this turn the water on
so you see the little purple light here I'll show you what that is
so over here I have some pepper plants so I have pepper plants in this little
corner and works out great so we got this room cleared out now I'll show you
what I'm working on next
so my next little project is this lemon tree some of the dirt has actually
started concaving in the center so I went to the Dollar Tree and got this and
I do not use this soil for my seeds in fact I tried it for two years in a row
and it actually kills the seeds because I think this soil is high in nitrogen so
I'm going to put a little here in my lemon tree and some of my plants I'm
just going to add a little of the dirt to it
all right that looks so much better dan my house is so full it's full of plants
it's full of things growing I have my book sir over here this is one of my
bookcases as you know I have a love for books not just any books I love books
that are nonfiction only I don't read any fiction and my books have to be
useful books books on how to do things self-help that kind of thing so my books
are so full but I was hoping that maybe I could find some room in here and
organize these books I have done some videos on sharing my favorite books and
I will try to do that here again I know a lot of people are asking about it so
I'm going to see if I can find some room for some of these books
and then of course I have to look at some of books while I'm organizing them
oh my word people are you guys like me do you guys when you start cleaning your
house and start finding things you actually just sit down and start looking
at the things you found instead of really cleaning your house oh my word
okay so let's get started on the rest of the things I need to do and then I'll
show you what I'm making for lunch while we're here I'll just show you
these are the tomato plants they're growing really nicely that they were in
the AeroGarden this is my celery it's growing really nicely somebody asked
about mold growing on celery you will not grow more if you continue to keep
putting dirt on see I have dirt the Hawaii around it now a subscriber told
me about that so you want to make sure you have dirt make sure you have dirt
all around your plants so back in this corner here is my grapefruit tree it's
the same thing as my lemon tree it was a seed that I planted so I'm just gonna
add a little dirt to this plant as well
I've been really blessed we have got some Sun these last couple days so my
greenhouse is really getting a lot of Sun and I'll show you upcoming video
sharing with you my herbs that I planted this year and all of the different seeds
that I planted so that will be coming here real shortly my tomatoes from the
AeroGarden are doing amazing so it worked out great
using this method let me go ahead and water my seedlings now I got half of my
cleaning done and now we're gonna make lunch and I'm gonna show you how I make
a lunch that's real frugal because I use the discount grocery store a lot of
times people talk about the food that I make but what they don't realize is we
need a lot of salad here so I make a lot of salad and how many videos can you put
up making salad but because this is more of a vlog I'm just going to share with
you what I'm having today for lunch it's gonna be a little bit of a different
twist on the salads that you've seen me do in the past my big and trusty salad
bowl which you guys know I use this for everything I'm gonna share with you the
prices and what I got so earth bound organic baby lettuce for 99 cents we're
gonna put it all back in our Bowl I can't wait to I can grow my own but
right now it's just too cold other years I would have some lettuce growing
already outside but this year is different
earthbound organic spinach 99 cents so we'll add that now this salad I'm making
is just for tubby and I
to that we have some organic roasted herbs and garlic cheese $4 29 this stuff
is amazing I bought a lot of this and froze it they
had all kinds even had somewhat bacon in it we're gonna add some cheese to it I
know my salads are going to be full of all kinds of things also we had the 4.99
and this was a this was a lot in this bag and this is the grilled ahi de style
chicken strips now we're going to put some of these in I wish I would have got
more of these but next week I will get them it always seemed to have this I'm
gonna cut this up a little finer that we're gonna shred up I care it
then at the Dollar Tree have found these banana peppers and these were really
good I had some that I can but they're really hot and I really don't like spicy
things at the moment and these are not spicy at all so we're gonna just finish
up that jar as well now look how good this is looking I always add tomatoes
now of course this is a store-bought tomato and it doesn't have the flavor
like some tomato still when you have them fresh out of the garden but it's
actually pretty good and I always buy the plum tomatoes
because they are cheaper there are a lot cheaper by pound and you can get quite a
bit of them but right now tomatoes are a delicacy because of course this isn't
growing season here and of course I had to buy these they were still inside the
US but they weren't very local to me so we're gonna add the tomatoes to it and
there is our salad not least we do as futons to our salad and you could make
your own but I got these for 89 cents and it's great for a quick meal so there
you go my friends take a look at this salad isn't that yummy enjoy a little
bit of how my morning went and it's lunch time and I can't wait to see you
guys tomorrow take care everyone
