Sam Houston National Forest Winter Visit | Hiking Texas Piney Woods

Ever looked at a container of fishing worms at the store and thought… why does this smell like garlic? 🤨 That strange realization sparked a bigger question—and ultimately led to starting a worm farm at home. In this video, I share the moment that made me rethink store-bought worms, why flavoring bait worms might not be as harmless as it seems, and how that curiosity turned into building my own worm farm from scratch. We’ll talk about why raising your own worms gives you more control, healthier compost, and peace of mind—whether you’re gardening, vermicomposting, or just want to know exactly what’s going into your soil. If you’ve ever been curious about vermiculture, sustainable composting, or just enjoy the odd paths that lead to self-reliance, this video is for you. Sometimes all it takes is a whiff of garlic to change how you see things. 🪱🌱 Website: https://apocalypsegardens.com Social Media: https://apocalypsegardens.com/elsewhere/

Update after the tour…
Join me for a tour of the winter garden here on the Texas Gulf Coast, where mild temperatures and a long growing season make year-round gardening possible. In this video, I walk through what’s growing during winter, discuss cool-season crops that thrive in a subtropical climate, and share observations from the garden during the quieter months of the year. Winter gardening along the Gulf Coast looks very different than in colder regions. With little to no frost, the focus shifts to steady growth, soil health, and observing how plants respond to seasonal changes rather than shutting the garden down entirely. This garden tour is part reflection, part inspiration, and part practical look at what a southern winter garden can produce. Whether you’re gardening in Texas, the Gulf Coast, or another warm climate, I hope this walk through gives you ideas, encouragement, and a realistic look at winter growing in a subtropical environment. #WinterGarden #WinterGardening #GardenTour #GardenWalkthrough #BackyardGarden #TexasGardening #TexasGulfCoast #GulfCoastGarden #SubtropicalGardening #WarmClimateGardening #CoolSeasonCrops #YearRoundGardening #NoFrostGardening #MildWinter #Permaculture #HomesteadGarden #SustainableGardening #FoodGarden #GrowYourOwnFood #GardenVlog #Homesteading #GardenInspiration #SmallFarm #UrbanHomestead Website: https://apocalypsegardens.com Social Media: https://apocalypsegardens.com/elsewhere/
The Start of the New Year
I'll be moving the horseradish to the kitchen garden this season. This is a chance to pull a little to experiment with in the kitchen.
