Homesteaders - Living Naturally, Newsletter. 27th March 2019

It's that time of the week again! Welcome back to the Homesteaders - Living Naturally, newsletter.

Things happening in the community.

At @homesteaderscoop they'd love some feedback on what you'd like to see for sale at https://homesteaderscoop.com/ and you can see this week's featured products here.

@nateonsteemit has been busy reaching out to new arrivals on Steem.

Over at @naturalmedicine the challenge is still on to explore and write about a natural plant medicine. This challenge has been extended and ends in 3 days, so you still have some time to get an entry in. Their curation post is out, with some of the best picks in the natural medicine category and you can find an update on the community here.

If you haven't already heard about @simplymike's garden journal challenge there's one day left to join up to that.

Welcoming Newcomers

New to Steem this week is @bothanikha, who has a great love of plants and sharing their beauty and health properties. I hope we can all give her our famous warm welcome. If it isn't famous yet, maybe we should make it famous! ;D

@stanmr started here in January and is back with a fantastic post on dealing with pests while growing indoors!

Some highlights of the week

@mountainjewel have been getting a big job done with the help of a good group of neighbours. It's a heartwarming account of the importance of community, camaraderie and working together which brought a lump to my throat, as I realise it's something we're often missing in our urban lifestyles. Read about this experience here.

Cuttings are something I don't often have much success with and I'm not much of a shopper, so buying rooting hormone isn't my thing. @digitaldan offers an alternative solution that many have already in their kitchens.

@hopfarmnc brings us a recipe for giving an immune system boost to chicks and ducklings.

@creationofcare has been doing some fermenting. Something I keep meaning to do with our excess garlic! Read about it here.

You’re doing a great job @minismallholding! I’m enjoying reading these! It’s really nice to know what’s going on in the homesteading world especially when there’s not a lot of time to hang out on Discord. Thanks for sharing these great articles! Resteemed to get more eyes on this project! 😊

Thank you @crosheille. I know what you mean about finding the time for discord. That's why I always liked Kiara's newsletters. I was always surprised how much I'd missed and things weren't as active back then.

Nice going @minismallholding! This is the best edition of the newsletter so far! You've picked some really great posts to highlight :)

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed. It's been such a busy week, I didnt actually get a chance to make a note of anything prior to today. Glad I was able to find some gems anyway.
