You might want to add casein to your limewash (as the old romans already did). This helps the limewash to better bond and is usually done by adding milk or quark to the mixture.

Congratulations on your new grandbaby. Enjoyed the story of chopping down the tree in Alaska. The waffles looked delicious. Growing up our family had the aluminum tree w/the color wheel & my mom only used glass red ornaments on the tree. It was fascinating seeing the tree turn colors. I was the oldest & only girl & had 4 younger brothers. My dad was stationed in Furth Germany the yr i was in 3 rd grade & we had a real christmas tree that yr since our tree was in storage w/things in the states. My Dad ended up going to V. Nam so by 4 th grade momma, my brothers & I was back in the states.

I've never grown them but I think conebush are pretty and I think they last long after being cut, too.

I have to saw I'm so happy I still had some rhubarb in the freezer, I just made a double batch of this delicious rhubarb marmalade for Christmas gift. Merry Christmas to you and your family😊

Merry Christmas!

Love the painting of the farm.

Looks great!

Your larder looks great. Very inspirational (root cellar, too).

I heard this from a different gardener- "the main thing a winter garden grows is enthusiasm for next year!"

SUper fantastic tomatoes!

My first year getting cantalopes and they were phenomenal!!!!!

Thank you for filming this and sharing your beautiful barn! I have learned so much, and can really appreciate the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into building such a beautiful structure.

Yes to yellow raspberries. Have you heard about the virus killing the strawberry plants on the east coast. Like 2/3 of the plants are dead

Wow oh Wow, what a treasure find! My mind just started swirling with so many ideas of what all could be stored in there. My grandparents had a root cellar that was built into a bank that had a small cabin built above it. I loved going in there in the hot summer to get jars or root veggies for them, because it was so cool compared to the hot summer temps outside.

What a wonderful discovery! And I love all your progress in growing, harvesting and preserving your food. What a great job!

You guys are living my dream!! And what a great job you did Ms Brenda!

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing! God bless and Merry Christmas from Montana.

My great gp and gm had fig trees in their back yard in Florida. Every summer took home canned figs and ate them real fast. Love them so much. Something new for you to try canning.

Love your garden and the garden tour! It's so beautiful and you are doing an amazing job. For the blueberries yes, they need very acidic soil and you must have at least 2 different varieties of blueberry plants in order to have blueberries! It's much better to have 3 different varieties. We are fortunate enough at our home here in the south to have 15 very thriving blueberry bushes, 3 are in very large pots, the rest are in the ground. Very early each spring (February) I clean out around the base of each plant, apply time released fertilizer, and reapply lots and lots of fresh pine straw. Water the plants really well, then nature's rain in the spring usually provides enough moisture, but water if or when necessary. Pine straw provides all the great, natural acid to the soil the plants need. Some of our blueberry plants have been providing tons of delicious berries for over 16 years now, but remember that it takes about 3 years for a plant to get really established in a spot before it will really start to provide. And if you move that plant, it will take another several years for it to get established again and start really providing berries. Best of luck and hope yours will start to really take off for you.

Have you done any videos on using your marshmallow? I have some called malvea which I guess is the same. Love to learn how to use it! Love your videos!

Merry Christmas and thank for bringing us along to your garden. It's contagious and I want to get out there and get started. I'm also really looking forward to the new gardening year. Happy holidays with your beloved ones.

I hate the squash bugs, too. I am always out there squishing them and their eggs. But it's worth it to get all of the great squash:) - I ordered four raised metal beds for this next growing season. I am waiting for them to be delivered. I am pretty excited about them. I have some homemade wooden ones that I put together but they are rotting through:( - Zinnias are MY favorite cut flower. And I love bringing in irises in in the spring. They just smell soooo good! Mom's favorite was carnations. - I use paper as well. I put my notebook on a clipboard. This way I can take it with me out to the garden. - I haven't had good luck with watermelon OR canteloupes here in Idaho. I gave up on them as well. - It took me a few years to finally settle on three tomatoes that I really love the taste of, that fruit a lot and that can handle the dryness out here. For cherry tomatoes, I grow the Supwer Sweet 100. Perfect size for my salads and plentiful. The two red tomatoes that I love are the Roma for canning and the Summer Set for slicing. All of them are red:)

Thanking you for sharing all that you do! Love all your videos. You’re waffle maker looks interesting. It also makes very large waffles.Would you kindly share where you purchased name brand. Merry Christmas 🎁

Who helps you plant all that? That's a lot!

It's possible someone has already responded to the shake method, but I didn't read all of the comments. To make the shake method work, you must first trim each end of the clove before shaking. Someone said to put it in a stainless steel bowl, hold another stainless steel bowl on top and then shake. I haven't compared methods, so I don't know if the jar and bowls work equally well. A jar would certainly be easier to hold and shake 🙂

Hungarian heart are good slicers and canning and they don't have many blemishes

Yellow raspberries are amazing.

I want this! I imagine since limestone is caustic it does a really good job keeping out the bugs, bacteria and fungi prolonging the shelf life of food.

Can't say how much I love this!!! Definitely a dream for me ❤

We love the fall gold raspberries! One flower I didn't hear mentioned that I sell as a cut flower and dry for myself is calendula.

Those are great potholders and love the color, too. Does your friend sell that at an online store?

Just found your channel and absolutely love it. I love your stories about your Christmases past and present. Thank you for sharing ❤

We have yellow raspberries, but i'm always unsure werher they are ripe or not 😅 so i'm not planting those again!

Jet star

I hope you guys have a blessed Merry Christmas .❤

I’m not positive which variety we have,,,either Golden Ann or Ann Golden,,,or Double Gold Raspberries,,,they were given to us,,,they give us two harvests per season! So far, no issues with them,,,They are softer, no seeds, love seeing them again in September! We also have the Doyle Blackberries,,,no seeds or thorns! If I lived closer to you I’d gladly share both with you!

Yes on the Yellow raspberries they are so sweet it's like eating candy yum yum ❤

black cherry tomatoes are delicious. I have discovered Kohlrabi. Easy peasy. white and purple

Have you ever tried watermelon radish they aren't hot and so good! They are white with pink in side very good.

It's so exciting to think that in a couple of months, let the planting begin.😊 As far as a beautiful Prolific , red medium round Tomato, have you ever tried Jet Star? They are great for slicing, make a nice sauce, and they freeze well too.

Ann yellow rasberries, give you spring and fall harvests, verrrrry good! Also try sorghum for flour or food for hens. Check out Green Permaculture, he said you can take cuttings while dormant. Shove in the ground and have new plants in the spring.

gold raspberry - so good, sweeter than the red raspberry

Another lovely video. Thank you for sharing your faith here. In so many places of our world Christian faith is shunned. I really appreciate it when people are open about their faith. Your family nativity sounds wonderful. You are making amazing memories for your grandchildren. We decorate with greenery, candles and nativities. It is a happy, peaceful view everywhere we look.

Brenda, for flowers, I'd recommend Asters--they are beautiful and last up to 2 weeks in a vase. Johnny's sells lots of colors. As for cherry tomatoes: Honeydrop from Fruition seeds is the best i have ever tasted. I only grow that variety because it is prolific, incredibly sweet, and flavorful, and they come in shades of red, yellow, and peach. I ordered a packet 4 years ago and fell in love with them. Everyone who has tried them loves them. Highly recommend!

Big Beef tomatoes - tried and true for us (Arkansas/Oklahoma/Missouri). Those are the states we've grown those in. We do stonewall cucumbers (Hoss Seeds) and then we always do an English Cucumber too (our farmer's market customers love them).

Have you tried shade cloth on your lettuce? I grow my lettuce behind a cedar tree and it works really well. I commented on a video before but I want to say it again, I really think you should try growing dahlias this year. My favourite is Cafe au lait. They are stunning and will be a slam dunk for your stand!

Boysenberries are our absolute favorite berry - more elongated, so good in the taste. More challenging to grow than a blackberry but I know you can do it!

The yellow raspberries are very good. They are so sweet

For your salad greens try putting shade cloth over them to extend your season. I live in South Florida and I use shade cloth a lot during the summer in order to grow anything. I am actually in the middle of my growing season right now.

Sweet Success cucumbers great.I love Red Snapper tomatoes. They are sold from Hoss Tool.
