Hey Marta, your projects look like so much fun. I made a very small batch of cowboy candy last year. And I had to do it with store-bought jalapeños because I didn’t have any that I grew myself. However this year I have several plants that have jalapeños although they are really far behind. So this year I wanna make a batch of cowboy candy with my own jalapeños. I can’t stand hot peppers but for some reason this really was good for me. I put a little bit of the cowboy candy on a cracker with some cream cheese and oh my goodness so good! good to see you see you next week!

Thanks for sharing this video and all the great information. Have a blessed day 😊

Does your basil regrow when you cut it off that low?

Tomatoes for sure! 🙂

I'm thinking that ghee would be a great substitute for the butter in the Fr Onion prep. Also, I wonder if you could use beef tallow?

Can I ask what kind of tomatoes you used for the spaghetti sauce? Ball book seems to recommend plum tomatoes but there seems to be less of those around than the larger (maybe heirloom) tomatoes.

thinking about getting one and I think you have me sold on the Nesco. thanks for the vid

You forgot to debubble your soup jars and measure them to 1” in this video. One jar looks over filled and one jar is about 1/2”lower.

Grape leaves work too. Thank you for this video.

I’ve never done pickles but would love to try this. What type of cucumber did you plant. I believe gardeners would want to know so they have 100% success.

They look so good

when do you fully tighten the screw on lid?

There's nothing better than a crispy pickle and a burger. Perfect summer food. Thanks for the video!

Could you use that same procedure and recipe for whole pickles?

New subbie here because I was looking for 2 recipes in specific and your channel was suggested both times! I made sugar free strawberry jam today and am looking forward to making the French onion soup this week. Thanks!

Bread and butter are my favorite! Mom used to add sliced onions/peppers to hers. We always used apple cider vinegar when pickling. Just a taste preference. I've given up on growing dill. I've tried for 2yrs and the plant has died both times.

If you have back pain and its chronic yet no underlying issues it may be from your root canal if you had one or more. Watch root cause the docu. All the best from homesteaders in North Carolina

Great video! This looks delicious and I’m excited to try it! I am so glad I found your channel! I have had the Nesco Canner for about two months and haven’t even opened the box lol! I tried to find a recipe book for it and wasn’t having any luck…so I was considering sending the canner back. Now that I found your channel, I’m really looking forward to using it and making some meals in a jar! Thank you so much! ☺️

Your garden is beautiful! Especially the beet greens. I've heard those can be really good. Have you tried eating them?

I took a screen shot of the plant and it came out as blue anise sage. A type of salvia/sage. I was also thinking that the pattern you see on the one pumpkin isn’t powdery mildew but normal for that variety. And I’m sooo jealous of your camomile ! I’ve been trying to grow it for years from seed. I gave up and bout a couple plant starts when they went on sale. I’m hoping they take off. One thing I don’t have trouble growing is chocolate mint. It borders my patio. I didn’t plant it there, it traveled from a small herb bed and took over in a rock border. When it flowers, oh! so wonderful! Thank you soooo much for the tour. I can’t believe how good everything is growing. You have the green thumb for sure 😊

Great reminders or ideas. Nice others share what works for them Last year we dried oregano according to dehydrator’s instructions and we threw it out as it tasted like hay. This year I tried a better variety of oregano as the Greek wasn’t doing it for us. I was doing other things and my husband said he would throw the oregano in the dehydrator for me. 😂 he dried it at whatever temp popped up at start which I believe is 165. 😂It was terrific!! Sooo much flavor and it dried away faster than instructions said. It could have simply been the better variety-but I like to think it was a combo. Tried it with parsley and it was another win 🎉. So there is more than one way to do things. I don’t worry what others do. If we like a different way and it works then that is how we learn.

Thanks for posting, I just finished making mine with sugar but might try this with raspberries

Hang in there. I think the top bar hive (because of it's simplicity) is beginning to gain some momentum. It will likely never overtake the Langstroth in popularity but that's ok. I along with many others are content with my top bar for the reasons you have stated and being in the smart minority. :-) Best wishes for your continued success with beekeeping and your RUclips channel. Remember, some of the best things in life are simple...

Yay! Chickens 🐓!

Locally Raised, helpful hints for your journey; * have john measure the inside of the display window and cut exactly the dimension to glue on to the inside of the cover for the display window. reasoning is anywhere ANYWHERE light comes through the hive the girl's will propolis that area to block the light. this means on your viewing window. which you really do not want. * the girl's prefer a tight community(living area). DO NOT give them too much space to cohabitate. Google this - follower board. have john measure the tight dimensions from the top bar board/the angled sides /then across the bottom. this will prevent the girl's from getting into the BIG empty space(which you can use to easily store your equipment + gear. each time you have to give the girl's more space for growth the follower board can be easily moved and still be functional. I hope this helps you in your new journey in beekeeping that fit's your goals. learn from other beekeepers and apply it to YOUR style. be the Lewis and Clark of top bar hive beekeeping!!!!

What good timing! We have strawberries in our garden ready to harvest, and we were wondering what to do with them all (beside eat them, of course:)

I really enjoyed your vid! I just got my Nesco and looking forward to using it.

Love the chop list

As a doer I can fully relate...as a viewer it's so relaxing to me to see your potential for self sufficiency,your process & your finished work. YOU'RE DOING WELL MY DEAR! Continued Blessings! 🙏

Very interesting instalation. This was my first year . I purchased a package To install. I can see needing extra help if using a Nuc and cutting the frames. Hoping overwintering goes well but prepared for a possible loss the first year. It's all a learning experience 😅

So cool Marta! I’m looking forward to seeing how the honey and wax goes this year. And how are the chickens coming? Do you have the coop ready yet? 😊

Very interesting to see how this system works. My husband has raised bees,but never in this type of set-up. I hope you have great success!

Loved this...thank you for sharing. ❤

Growing your own herbs, spices, and veggies is so rewarding though.

I'm a lifetime Beekeeper from Argentina. Some time ago I found the TBH and I thought to migrate to that technology (my back claims for that 😁). Until now I couldn't get any experience. Your video gives me new hope to get involved. I'll tell you if I succeed next season (here the season begins in August/September). Today I have only 25 Hives. Don't worry about low production, it all right if you think about low investment with a TBH. Greetings!

Yeah, but it's so satisfying knowing you did it. And you lear how to appreciate what you have more.

So glad I found your video. I bought a Nesco end of last year, but have been too afraid to use the pressure canning until now. Thank you for making it look so easy and great step by step directions. Guess what I will be doing tomorrow!

how long do they last on shelf ?

I like how open that is! One thing I did for windows since I didn't want glass and I couldn't find good shed windows, so I made custom windows out of polycarbonate sheets. It's safer and tough as nails. A tablesaw blade is the perfect thickness for the sheets so you can run a groove down, make a frame and slide the sheet in!

I just found and subscribed to your channel

Good job on the coop and a good job on the video. Looking forward to more videos.

Thanks forvideo

Marta and Jon, I am so imressed with your chicken coop - what a wonderful project for each of you and the chickens will be living first class! Your young helpers should be proud of "working" with the chicks and gathering eggs. 🐔🐔🐔

Thanks I always knew this should be done, but I didn’t want to do it till someone said it was OK! I also didn’t know or check if it was OK for chickens .

Good Friday planting was our Illinois guideline.

I love yellow beans so picking is easier (to see).

One youtuber showed broadcasted bush beans….then pull all plants when loaded and harvest.

Those canners look suspiciously like instapots but the price is good...have you had them long? The stovetop canner i was looking at is like 550 bucks which is a bit much but thats 20Q
