Did you have any issues with air bubbles in your cheese while you were dipping it? We tried waxing 10 lbs of raw Monterrey Jack from Azure (that we cut into 1/2 lb blocks) last weekend. We did not put in the fridge after we cut the blocks. We air dried on racks on the countertop. And we didn't put the waxed blocks in the fridge after waxing. This was our first time ever doing this. We re-dipped the blocks with air bubbles but aren't sure if they will be okay long-term. Our cheese that we air dried on the counter after cutting was very dry and had cracking like crevices in it. Just saw this video You made.

How many times did you dip each side of the cheese?

Did you wash and pat dry the green comfrey leaves? Have you used dried leaf powder to make your salve?

Hi, thank you for the recipe! Very easy indeed! Is the sourdough starter you use in this video made with bread flour or einkorn? Thank you!

Your better check if there's little white woms in your onions caused by onion flies. Those worms will hatch into flies and spoil next year's onions. Destroy and get rid of the whole mess.

Your garden looks wonderful! I was fighting the urge to do a garden this year but ultimately lost that battle; I decided I didnt want structure so I went for a chaos garden type setup. I threw basil seeds all over knowing the strongest would take root wherever they settled; I placed sunflowers of a few different varieties around the edges of my plot, Japanese Sweet Potato in a little 2x2 foot square, and 5 Hopi Blue Corn at random locations as an experiment (testing seed viability and local soil quality). I thought that would be enough but after a month and a half of pleasantly successful growth, I ultimately expanded to a second adjacent plot (both around 12x12) and recently planted a number of things I'll certainly come to regret as July rolls into August and September. In the center I planted an unknown giant pumpkin (3 of the 5 seedlings have broken through, im not looking forward to the squashbugs), around the edges in concentric rings (with space to walk in) ive planted Garlic Chives, more Sunflowers, Hungarian Wax Peppers, Brussel Sprouts, and lastly a bunch of Hopi Blue Corn. My hope is that by planting in volume as I've done, I'll have offset the likelihood of some seeds not taking - depending how big the pumpkins get, I'll thin the surrounding plants as needed. This is going to be a busy year for my garden, but hopefully a prosperous one; best wishes to you and well wishes for a fruitful garden!

Ive really enjoyed your video! So glad we don't have Japanese beetles here in the UK. Imabout to go and pick off all the rosemary beetles off my rosemary bush, though. Just a thought on your onions, I've always understood that beans and onions are not good bedfellows. I plant my onions on their own or with brassicas, so long as they are in full sun. Might be worth a thought next year? Your zinnias are stunning. Weve had such an awful year with the never ending winter and it feels like we had two days of spring and are in autumn already. Almost no sun, cold and windy and everything is stunted and struggling. Hoping for a break in the weather and an actual summer soon!

very enjoyable. Thank you

Thank you for a loveky video. I really like your tip about labeling the plants with the dates. I haven't seen that before and it's really interesting

I made them my husband loved them. Thanks

I would not use that wax you linked to to dip wax. It is made in China, which is a warning that it may contain all sorts of contaminants. Also, the description says it contains a mix of various waxes, including microcrystaline and paraffin. I wouldn't want a petrochemical like that in contact with my cheese - certainly for a period of years. The reviews say that the dye bleeds into the cheese - that is a bad sign. Also, what dyes did they use to color the waxes - are they food safe? Find a USA or European made cheese wax. At least they are likely to be food safe. I have bee hives, so can use pure bees wax for dipping.

Awesome! Gotta get one for myself now!

Great share my friend

Great video

There are gummy recipes and you could also make gummies with your elderberry syrup.

Yes so glad I found this! I just started a bunch of vining plants and am going to try vertical gardening too

Just subscribed! We are semi retired, large gardeners and canners. Nice to find a homestead channel for smaller households. Little dizzy from camera work, lol, great info.

You are doing great! Awesome effort.

There's literally nothing unique about that? Are you dumb?

Is it possible to reuse the wax? Filtering necessary?

I just found your channel and love the idea of waxing my bulk cheese. I assume I can order the wax online? Also, the background "white" noise and music was a bit loud. I adjust my music in my video editor and use a screen with my mic for background "white" noise. Plus, I find that I did this little smack between thoughts and it helped me eliminate that. Good luck on your channel. I look forward to more.

looks great, I have seen a video on this, good job

Thank you for your input ! This is great !

what kind of wax did you use and where did you get it? what should one look for in purchasing wax? I really want to try this!

😂 I'm sorry but that's funny. I'd have tried my meat cleaver and likely broke the table.

A couple of things. You can cut those slip vines into MANY slips per vine. At the base of every leaf are small nodes that will sprout roots if you clip the vine and put that node into water for a week. The other thing is, you shouldn't have to purchase any sweet potatoes next year. Just hold one or two of the ones you grow this year back in a cool dry place. They will keep until then. I bought a bag of 5 sweet potatoes around November 2022 to use for propagation, didn't get around to them until Feb 2024 and they had started sprouting in the bag. I bought a couple of clear bins from Dollar Tree for $1.25 each and a bag of potting mix. Did the same as you did her but never covered mine since they had sprouts already. I've already clipped 25 slips from one potato and have them rooted separately in a jar of water. I cant even miss the ones I clipped off of the main plant its growing so many more. Have fun and good luck with your sweet potatoes. I cant wait to get some from my own garden this year

Hello :) thank you for the video. What is the company name to buy the seasonings in bulk? Also can you freeze dry the Mint?

What about just freezing it in chunks?

Love this❤! Great ideas!

You go girl 👍🏻❤️✨
