The Little Micro Homesteader

The Little Micro Homesteader Veteran family. Small yard. Big dreams.

We’re building a sustainable micro‑homestead on our little patch of prairie — growing purpose, creativity, and connection together as we learn and make as a team.

First salad of the season.

Fresh greens, bright flavours, and that unmistakable “summer is here” feeling.
Simple. Honest. Homegrown energy.

Worm Alert!

Invasive leaf‑eating worms are out and hungry.

Do a quick yard scan today:
• Bare leaves?
• Tiny green pellets on the ground?
• Caterpillars clustering on trunks?

If yes, remove small groups by hand and support your trees with extra water.

Small checks = big impact.

Heat wave mode activated.

My moisture checker was reading almost 1 this morning, so I’ll be keeping a close eye on the towers all week. These little plants are tough — they just need a bit of extra love in the heat.

Rain barrels could use a refill though…

5am coffee hits different when the garden is freshly planted.

Cool, calm, and full of new beginnings.

Just me, the birds, and a mug of something warm.

 🌾 Tea Garden Moments — Strawberry Mint Magic 🌿🍓

There’s something special about watching a strawberry‑mint plant thrive — the sweetness of berries meeting the cool calm of mint. It’s a reminder that harmony in the garden often comes from the simplest pairings.

This little duo is perfect for tea lovers and pollinators alike — a fragrant, refreshing blend that brings life to every corner of your homestead.

✨ A sweet, refreshing duo for your tea garden.

There’s something sacred about 5am gardening.
The air is cool, the grass is damp, and the whole yard feels like it’s holding its breath. No noise, no rush — just me, the plants, and the soft light stretching over the beds.

It’s the kind of quiet that settles your shoulders and reminds you why you grow things in the first place.

Early mornings in the garden feel like a gift.

Garden glow‑up unlocked!

Our new trellis is standing tall thanks to cattle panels from Warman - Zak's Home Hardware Building Centre and the garden already feels more alive. This archway is ready for climbing beans, wandering peas, and whatever else decides to reach for the sky this season.

Tonight might be the final bedtime story for the garden.

The plants are bundled up against the frost, and I’m crossing my fingers that this is the last chilly night before they can stretch out under real summer skies.

Here’s to resilient roots and prairie patience.
