Im so proud of your life style you are the salt of the earth. I am 82 years old and I grew up with the same values I was raised on a farm and we grew all our food what happy memories you are giving me thank you and GOD BLESS
I feel the same way Cornelia, does my heart good to see more and more folks trying to get back to this sort of lifestyle! God bless ♥️🙏🏻🇺🇲
Thank you for spreading happiness to all us followers! Love ya!
I've learned a lot about my citrus trees from
DEEP SOUTH HOMESTEAD
With those Black Eyed Peas, Ham Hocks and Collard greens cake of cornbread. and this is a New Years meal. in the South. and so good. born and raised in High Point N.C. YOU GO GIRL.
Amen on that meal!
We like them kinds of eats here in Belews Creek NC too!
Definitely black eyed peas on new year’s. But at least once a week between them 😉
I’m at hospital with husband and they had black eyed peas today for lunch was so good
Grew jalapeno Reaper, ghost and Tobasco in ground here. Nothing else would produce. Reapers smell awful if you make anything eww. They also turned every pepper within 200 ft each direction hot. So once was enough for me growing them.
The millennial gardener grows all kinds of citrus trees and he is located on the coast of South Carolina. He is a wealth of knowledge especially when it comes to overwintering citrus trees.
The Millennial Gardner is in Wilmington, NC. He has great ideas including putting Christmas tree lights on citrus trees for frost protection in the winter.
@@micheleblackburn4736 you are absolutely right. I am always mixing the two Carolinas. Thank you!
@@taketwodevotions1247 It’s almost embarrassing how many videos of his that I’ve seen. I only remember where he’s at because my niece lives there. No worries! 😀
@@micheleblackburn4736 😂 I'm right there with you!
Your kids are great helpers. They are learning a way of life.
They are being educated by the best hands on real life best teachers, they will always be able to service.
Thank you for this relaxing video, I am sick and watched you all from my bed and you made me feel so much better I swear I could smell the plants it was so relaxing now a nap. ❤🎉
Prayers going up for a speedy recovery!
Same! 🤒
Now Maggie, when you're eatin' that watermelon, save three of the seeds and put them on your forehead. Name them after three boys you want to marry. The last one that falls off is the boy you'll marry! LOL!! My grandma had me and my cousins doing that when we were little eating her fresh watermelons from their garden. Can you imagine? All us kids walking around with watermelon seeds on our foreheads, wrinkling our foreheads and cocking our eyebrows so to "influence" who would fall off and who wouldn't, haha!! Oh, and I love pickled banana peppers in my chili! Nice crop of peppers. Andy, make sure those pots you put your citrus trees in have good drainage. Citrus trees are super picky about water... they can't dry out but too much water will cause the roots to rot. Rotate the pots every now and then so the trees grow evenly and each side gets good light. You might put a light layer of mulch over the soil. And there's a product called Citrus-Tone that's a good fertilizer for citrus trees. Thanks for the update. God bless!!
Thank you for sharing your life and garden with us! ❤ love y’all!
Amen! This channel is better than church!!
Very nice family and i always learn something.
It’s so cute to see your kids helping out so much. Blessings
Awesome job y'all 👍🤓👍❣️. Things are bouncing back nicely after that drout, big congrats on yr garden blessings 👍❣️👍
I make pepper sauce to pour over my peas and beans with some chow chow.
Mexican cornbread with sausage is good also. Mississippi girl here.
Recipe for chow chow and pepper sauce?
Your family is so 😎 god bless you all
Garden looks gorgeous!
I've been watching.
You guys for a couple of weeks now and you guys are awesome
My grandmother grew lemons and grapefruit in East Tennessee; she would move them inside when it got cooler.
Your kids are learning so many great skills.i love to have packages of peppers, onions and celery chopped up in the freezer, so versatile. I dried my hot peppers by hanging them upside down.
God has Blessed yall with abundance of pepper. Even with the dry spell and the heat. You guys know to cann for the winter.
I love pickled banana peppers! I put them on everything.
Recipe? I've never had pickled banana peppers, but sounds yummy!
Great video! The most precious thing was watching little Jacob eating the watermelon. Your children are so into life and every day they are learning something new. I enjoy every video and it amazes how you accomplish so much.
If you cover the bed of carrots with a piece of black plastic you won't have to keep it watered. Just check it in a few days to see if they're sprouting then keep moist. Works every time
Lawdy. You haven’t come up on my feed in a long time. Missed ya. The garden is BEAUTIFUL
Megan have you ever made pepper jelly? I love it on meatloaf and over cream cheese with crackers and if you really want to have a party in your mouth try some on fried cornbread. I make it with and without heat and some I mix pineapples in
Really enjoy watching y'all's videos. What a simple way of life, (not meaning it's not hard) obviously a lot of hard work, but simple in the fact it's wholesome. Have a blessed day from Panama City, Florida zone 9a
Hello PC 😀
Just when I was stringing beans to put up, your notification pops up. Lo and behold, you be canning green beans. Great minds thank alike. Much love to un’s from Appalachia Kentucky.
I lost my lemon and lime trees a couple of years ago when we had single digit and zero degrees. They were mature trees. My DIL suggested wrapping Christmas lights around fruit trees in winter to give them just enough heat so they wouldn’t freeze. Greenhouse will be a big help!
My late husband used to use his own good dirt to start his seeds but he put it in the oven first to kill the weed seeds
Your gardens really exploded after the rain. The first time I planted carrots I didn't know I had to thin them out. Got some very interesting looking ones 🤣
Love watching your videos. Gets me motivated.
Yes! Me also 😊
Me too😀
Girl, I could hurt myself on that sweet potato casserole, and smile about it 😂.. Glad you all were safe from the storm. My heart breaks for Asheville and Lake Lure.
One of my Sisters live up state of SC. They have a huge mess but are grateful.
Good morning from a cool day of NW Oregon, hope your day is blessed❤
Oh for frozen jalapenos. I scramble sausage. I scramble sausage. I may do this in steps. I just scramble and freeze. Peppers might not be ready, but might have other makings. Fry onions in butter. When peppers come in, leave out cream cheese all night. If you like feta or goat cheese, it's a wonderful addition. So, now you put room temp cream cheese, oh yeah, thawed bacon and sausage crumbles, onions, cheddar shredded, if you like feta or goat cheese, put it in. Mix All of it. Put in plastic bag,or bags, how much, you know. If you have cleaned your peppers by now, snip hole in bag corner, like a pastry bag, fill peppers. Cook. Eat what you can, vac , freeze the rest. Oh , I bet you had filling left over. Put snipped bag in another bag and freeze. For sure is good for 5 months. Okay, more. Lay out till room temp when ready to do more peppers. Enjoy.
If you have the hay to spare after feeding the livestock over the summer, then you can spread a thick layer over your garden after you've cleaned it up. It helps keep the ground soft for next year. Then just till it in come spring for a little fertilizer.
Andy, if I were you, I would plant as many of those collard greens as I could and had space for because you can feed them to your farm animals and it’s good for him better for him and it is cheap
I dehydrate most of our hot peppers and then grind them up and use as a seasoning.
I learned so much from your family. 😊
We made pickled peppers with our banana, green, yellow and red bell peppers, and purple beauty peppers. So good on sandwiches, beans, burgers, yum.
It is so precious to see you both teaching your children and them being so eager to learn. The fact that Jacob is driving so well all those moving vehicles and that you have such confidence in his ability. How old is he? also Maggie helping mama with canning and cooking but also both of them having their own little gardens.
I love stuffed banana peppers. So it just like you would bell peppers. They are so good.
I LOVE growing peppers. I freeze some, pickle some and make stuffed peppers and freeze them. I do the typical rice and meat mixture for some, but my favorite thing is some cooked and crumbled sausage mixed with cream cheese and some parmesan and stuff any small to medium pepper sliced long ways. I make big batches at a time and freeze in small batches. They are great for appetizers or an easy light dinner!
Great idea i need to try this 😀
Andy, pelleted carrot seeds and perlite will change your carrot life! You’re growing in a container and that’s the other game changer for carrots. You can space those pelleted seeds so easily and eliminate thinning (which none of us do a very good job at!) Perlite will help keep that soil loose and hold moisture. I used to be able to get pelleted carrots from Hoss but they quit carrying them a couple of years ago. (I’m steady after Greg to get them back at Hoss!) Johnny’s Seeds carry a great variety of pelleted seeds. Worth the trouble and expense of ordering them.
Great information 😀
I have a carrot container tip. I cut cardboard to fit on top of the soil, it helps keep it moist, I check daily and remove once they germinate. I usually get germination in about 7 days. It really seems to help. My wife and I love your videos here in northern West Virginia. Take care, stay well
I’m so jealous, Andy! I’ve been watching those same citrus trees now in town at Lowe’s. Unfortunately, ours hasn’t been discounted just yet and they are still $30. You betcha I’m gonna be hawkin them out now and waiting for them to be discounted. Thanks for the tip!
Love your channel. So wonderful to teach your/Ours/Theirs Kids these imperative skills!!! God bless!!!
I make Halupsie, every year for Christmas. Basically stuffed cabbage rolls. I use corned-beef,sauerkraut , rice. Roll into to cabbage leaves, bake with the juice from the sauerkraut , at 350 for an hour. I top off with strips of bacon to add extra flavor
Thats a great patch of peppers & a delicious looking meal!! We love peppers but have a hard time growing my favorite Bell Peppers too. They don't do well here for us. Our Cayennes do great. I'd like to share a little tip for all those that have problems with mice or rats in their vehicles or RV. I dry & string the beautiful red Cayenne to hang in my kitchen. (reminds me of my moms kitchen when I was a kid plus their just pretty.) I chop the dry peppers & sprinkle around the tires & jacks on the RV then some inside on paper plates near any area that's had a problem in the past like around pipes. On vehicles that are not used daily we put peppers around the tires & maybe some in the floors under mats just to give that hot scent mice & rats hate. This seems to work. Taking no chances because we've had some costly repairs to our vehicles due to them eating wiring; we put a bright light under them including the RV in the fall & winter. Haven't had any more damage. Cayenne works in the garden to deter rabbits & deer also. Ya'll do a wonderful job with the farm & especially those precious kids. Ya'll make my day so many times. I'm getting older & it's hard to do all the things you do now. Meagan, you remind me of my late sister whom I miss dearly. I love watching you in the kitchen. She & I had lots of fun cooking some of the same wonderful Southern dishes together. It makes me happy just listening to your Southern accent; I hear my sweet sister. God Bless you guys. Thanks for sharing.
This garden and the yard looks great,, mail me some black eyed peas., straight from the garden, no really it looks lush and beautiful, great job
I laughed so hard when you said they looked scary.. 😂
We are big fans of Hoss, too. We grew the Vates collards last year and really enjoyed them.
Growing up we ate watermelon just like that, after working in the garden!
Good Morning ☀️ 😊
Hanging hot peppers work well. I have done it like my parents and grandparents. We often grind the whole pepper into powder for seasoning. I love the Egyptian walking onions and with minimal attention they will last for years. The bulbs are best in the cooler months as the get strong in the summer but then you can eat the clusters on top. They do well in containers as well.
The raised beds are th way we grow too. Great video!!!
We put up pickled banana peppers every year. Delicious with grilled cheese sandwiches! We love them.
I've been picking my Mississippi purple pink eyes and cooked us a mess today for lunch. This was my second crop. You can't beat a fresh field pea. Yall are right....When nothing else will grow in this hot heat field peas will here in the south. Love your channel, Justin R has nothing on y'all LOL keep it up . God bless
Its me again, check out Celebrating Appalachia . Tipper makes pepper jelly for her husband Matt. He says it is good. Hugs to yall.
I had some citrus trees in central California & we would have some nights down to freezing. I would hang the old string Christmas lights ( the ones that give off heat) in the trees & cover with a sheet for the night. Kept them warm enough to protect from damage. So hang some lights in the greenhouse if you can run an extension cord to them to keep them from freezing. I now live in NE Tennessee & have some citrus in large pots will be doing the same.
My mom always hug the whole plant up in our basement which was our playroom, it had alot of windows.. she dried a many black walnuts there too.
My (in the ground) citrus love my naturally acidic soil. I have lemon, orange, lime and kumquat and I don't adjust my 5.9 to 6.0 soil anywhere near them. When their leaves fall (they stay green all year) just put them in the pot. I don't rake around my citrus. If the fruit falls I leave that, too. My trees are 20 to 35 years old.
I'm in zone 9b and they are happy to live without protection. There are people living in Utah and Colorado that have dug out a greenhouse and used the warmth of the earth to keep their greenhouse warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. They are growning citrus in zone 5.
I love your videos! Such a wonderful family. Beautiful children learning from their parents things that will ensure their survival and that they will thrive in life. So educational. You guys are a gift to humanity. Thank you for being you.
Meagan, we grow those every year here in Texas. So good! I find that because of the heat here these do better for us. Always enjoy your videos. I’ve learned a few things about persevering food from you. Thank you for what you are doing, even on the hard days!
About your citrus. The greenhouse is great. But get yourself a string of incandescent Christmas lights. Set up on a timer and a thermometer that alerts you, so when the temps get into the freezing you can turn them on to keep them from freezing.
I planted a mad hatter one year and really liked them haven't seen the plant since then so I guess I will have to order some seeds.
A fun garden for Maggie next year would be a cattle panel hoop....of Rampicante squash (aka garden gorilla). We eat them as summer squash all summer....but can let them grow huge to cure as winter squash. We work up the 18 inch size as stewed squash with vidalia. They are really a great garden addition....just train them upward...and watch those things grow.
I have been searching for mild banana pepper seeds for two years we use to buy them already ready to plant.🌼♥️🌼♥️😊
I took my collard green seeds outside and threw down and watered them. Also did the cabbage and broccoli and cauliflower in little growing thingies and they all came up like crazy
My grandad and dad use to do exactly the same thing with our chilli plants. Xxxx
I do the same in terms of flash freezing chopped peppers. Then I portion into zip locks inside a Food saver bag and seal. Lasts that way for years in the freezer.
The best luck I ever had with Bell Peppers… I was Healing up the potatoes and the peppers was in same roll so I healed them up also just like potatoes…And they took off growing an produced best peppers I ever raised
Hot pepper relish Make as hot or mild as you want. One peck of Hot Peppers (grind up) one clove garlic minced, one tsp. Salt,one cup sugar and one large bottle of Ketchup (I like Heinz). Place all prepared ingredients in large pot. Bring to a boil cook five minutes. Pour into jars add lids. Waterbath for15 minutes.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ lol Tiger was like.....I want some! I want some! Doggys love watermelon, too......👍
I quit trying to grow bell peppers years ago. My favorite pepper is the gypsy pepper. Hoss sells the seed. They grow really good for me. The ways I preserve them is chop them up and freeze, stuff them and freeze also I pickle them.
just found out you have a cook book. i ordered it cannot wait to get it never too old for a new cookbook have a blessed day
That is some good looking green beans
Have a good one too,from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Love ❤️ Love your family and channel it became my favourite channel. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Fry onion and pepper together in butter and freeze. Had great luck with stuffed jalapenos, cooking done and vacuum packing. Freeze. Fresh tasting. I use parchment paper between layers.
A good friend of mine grows a couple lemon trees in her greenhouse out here in Oregon. It took a few years before they started producing well but it’s doing pretty good now. They use regular soil w/citrus blend fertilizer and they don’t completely cover the upper part of the roots as they tend to enjoy some air.
I LOVE BLACK EYED PEAS, nothing better in the world
You need to check with 'For Jars' (my favorite brand)... they recommend NOT heating up the jar lids before canning as it deteriorates the glue that they use. Please check with them if you don't believe me but I'd stop doing that if I were you. I know... old habits die hard but in this case heating the lids might end up making the jars lids not hold as long . Check with them for the details... just wanted to pass it on to you. Love your channel... watch it everyday!
Learned from experience. Citrus needs major drainage like cactus soil mix or their roots will rot, especially in winter. They need humidity or will drop their leaves and need sun/grow lights and warmth indoors in winter. They grow great outdoors in summer After 3 dead plants I gave up. 😊 Good Luck!
Local hardware store near me has large packs of saved seeds for like $1. Most germinated especially greens, peas and beans. Some county nurseries sell them too along with potato seed. Baker Creek is good no shipping fee.
Another great video, your Black Eyed Peas look delicious, 😋 but everything did, and so did that watermelon 🍉
Megan. my grandma made the best banana peppers, took me forever to figure out.. they were packed in good olive oil, pinch salt, a big clove of garlic, but it was the beautiful smoked paprika that was the secret. Love to yall.
When we plant our spring garden we usually plant 1 row of blackeyes because they come in earlier than the Texas Cream 40 white acre peas which is our preferred field pea.
I make jalapeño salt with my excess jalapeños. I dehydrate them, and then powder them with rock salt in the food processor. It’s especially good on popcorn.
Pepper relish is really good for a abundance of peppers 🌶 😋
Loving that over sized de-hydrator😅
Great video y'all. Y'all do have a pepper jungle with plenty of peppers. This year, my cayenne pepper plants are waist high and loaded. Those watermelons look good. One of my favorite things Mama and Grandma used to make were watermelon rind preserves. Y'all have a great day!
I am in a similar latitude Andy and I have started a lemon from the seed of a delicious lemon I ate. It is doing very well. I planted it in the same potting mix. The first year I brought it inside to a southern window. But now it is huge. It won't survive on the porch in the snow. I don't have a greenhouse, so I think I will cut it back and bring it back inside to the sunny window. Let you know how that goes.
Dry the peppers in a dehydrator, can even throw in some sweet as well. Once dried, grind into powder and use for seasoning on anything you want heat added.
I’ve been cutting mine up and freezing up! My banana peppers are growing prolifically! Same with the hot wax peppers! Saving them for crockpot Mississippi pot roasts
Thank you for another great vlog! What a deal on the citrus trees, however I cannot advise on those I’ll be watching to see how they do. However on the peppers, there are so many things you can do with them as some have already commented, my favorite thing is to make Hot sauce with the different varieties. Another special treat is to smoke a bunch of peppers and garlic and make various sauces with them, a few smoked peppers in your salsa also enhances the flavors. Smoked peppers in your tacos and any meat dishes also. And you can pickle them to use throughout the year. Hope this finds y’all well and inspires a bit. Appreciate y’all , God bless!
Beautiful banana peppers ❤
I got gifted Egyptian walking onions....it took them a couple of weeks to get started. I kept them moist, and all of a sudden, they finally took off. I had them in a partially shaded area. But they look great now. I'm crossing my fingers for them to multiple like crazy. Good luck with yours.
We shore do enjoy your garden if yall ain't never tried snow peas they a good fall pea and October peas is to god bless you all
I look forward to your videos every night! You and the kids work so hard, doing the work of God to feed your family and the rest of your neighbors as well
You have too bee the hardest working family in show bizznes
Pecan tree fertilizer is very good for all your fruit trees I use that all the time it works real good 😊
Really enjoyed this, blessings! Your kids will always know how to feed themselves. All my peppers (tobassco, pablano, jalpeno, bell peppers, bannana peppers), tomatoes, beans got ate by a fat little squirrel. I need figure out a way to keep those critters out of my garden.
Great Job guys!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Andy I've been growing citrus in lower Alabama for years and the Satsuma is loaded with fruit but the late freeze got the blooms on my Valencia orange trees. They don't require any special fertilizer but they do like a little acid in the soil so I give mine some of the spent coffee grounds, the blueberries also get coffee grounds and they produce more berries than we need so I share them. In February I give mine a sprinkle of 10-10-10 around the drip line, but I've switched to organic for the most part.
