Smoky Mountain Homestead

Welcome to Smoky Mountain Homestead, formerly known as 'What's Growing On' – a name we've outgrown, much like our desert garden outgrew its welcome in Arizona' We've traded cacti for rhododendrons, and sun-scorched earth for the lush embrace of Tennessee's Smoky Mountains. Join us as we stumble, learn, and (hopefully) thrive in our homesteading adventure. We're here to document our trials, celebrate our triumphs, and share everything we discover about gardening, growing food, and generally trying not to be eaten by bears. If you're looking for expert advice delivered with a side of self-deprecating humor and a healthy dose of 'we're figuring this out as we go,' you've come to the right place. Subscribe, and let's grow together – literally and figuratively!
