RE: Pictures From An OFF GRID Homestead ~ Sugar Cane, Tomatoes and MORE!
I'm hoping for tomatoes! It's pretty cold and short season in the UK for tomatoes [let alone sugar cane!]. To have that many tomatoes is wonderful!
The sugar cane is amazing! How do you process it?
I have two girls still home schooling too. :-)
We crush the cane to expel the juice inside and then boil the juice for hours to make it into a syrup. It taste great! We have some friends nearby who moved here from GB. Thanks for your comment!
My dd9 is asking can we plant a maple so she can tap it. Our old friends in Massachusetts [where we used to live long before she was born] are tapping and they bring the buckets in when we are skyping and tell us it is delicious before it is boiled down. We found her a carton of maple water in the health food shop in town ... but she wants her own maple!
Not sure we can grow and tap them in the UK. We have plenty of acers but I think the sugar maple is a different type right? I'm guessing you may know!

Yeah, it will take some years before its big enough for tapping. I'm sure they will grow there but it's a long term wait.
