Episode 143: The good, the bad, and the ugly of 2025 are all on the agenda today! – The Holstein House Podcast
As we close out the year, it’s time to sit down and talk about… well, what else? The good, the bad, and the ugly of 2025 are all on the agenda today!
We’re taking a deep dive into the year’s gardening journey, from the simplicity of windowsill scrap gardens and fresh sprouts to the very real challenges of managing a container garden in a changing season. I’m also sharing a first look at the 2026 Farmer’s Almanac and the latest West Virginia Department of Agriculture Bulletin as we begin to look forward.
Stick around as we check in on the whole crew—the dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks—and I'll even share my very first sign of the upcoming Spring season! Whether you're joining me live or catching the replay, let’s reflect on what this year taught us about homesteading, resilience, and the joy of a small-scale harvest."
