Lamb Roast, Surprise Venison, Leaf Mulch and More - Homestead Happenings - EP 1106

Today, I am joined by the Tactical Redneck to discuss updates from the Holler Homestead: the sheep acting "a little eminent," a surprise community deer drop, and the brass water faucet we dug up while doing chores. We'll cover ongoing projects like the compost bin design, the memory garden plan, the hillside garden reset, mushroom experiments, rabbit breeding, and the ever-important Operation Leaf Collection. We'll wrap up with holiday touches around the Tajmaholler, the new Canoe Rose Bed, alternate routes home, and how we're gearing up to cook a whole lamb.
