Hi folks, Steve Rouse here. Well, it’s taken me a while to figure out the “next thing”, but I believe I have with these stories. From growing up in a small town in the 50’s and 60’s to a crazy morning show and our band, to an organic farm and a slightly scandalous BnB, I’m sharing my journey with all the humorous twists and turns this old baby boomer has experienced along the way. Plus, I share a lifestyle, we call “Steve Style” full of growing veggies, having a flock of chickens, keeping bees, heating with wood, cutting firewood, and being one of Mother Nature’s closest friends.

Listen in the car or read and watch at lunch, in bed or sitting on the … you know. I hope you enjoy!

The Man Song (1:58)

I had a request from Noelle for our version of The Man Song by Sean Morey. I got brave one morning and sang this live on the Rouse and Co. show. The girl singers are Annie B. and Debbie Brugh from the Satellites. I apologize for the noise interference. I have no idea where it came from, but it’s the only copy I have.

Raised Bed Gardening (Potatoes) (4:34)

We’ve shown you how to plant the spuds in a field, now we move to the raised bed. I said on the video we probably wouldn’t get that many out of the bed. Of course I’m used to gettting hundreds of pounds from the field. I don’t want to discourage you from trying this. I’m predicting we should get 50 pounds of potatoes out of the bed. We’ll see.

Conversations With Pepper (21:41)

Our dog Pepper had recently undergone some social media scrutiny after posting her true feelings about dog crates. She said she didn’t like them. She suggested dog owners were kidding themselves if they thought crates gave their pet a sense of home, safety, and security. Pepper said any dog she knew, if having the choice, would choose to sleep on a soft, fluffy duvet-covered king-sized bed over sleeping in a jail cell any day! She...

Metal Raised Beds (2:42)

For anyone thinking about growing some of your own veggies, I wanted to show you something new I’m trying this year. These things come in all sizes and shapes, should last a long time and easy to put together.

Field Potato Planting (3:10)

It’s getting to be potato planting time. If you’re a potato head like me, there’s nothing like fresh dug potatoes. They store well and last a long time. Once you have your own, it will be tough to go back to store bought. You can find seed potatoes at most garden places. I usually get mine at the Mill in Bel Air, Black Horse, Hereford, Whiteford, etc. This video is from a couple of years...
