Last year I grew tomatillos and froze a couple gallon bags of them. I have used them during the year for guacamole( my husband got an amazing recipe from a friend). I love your garden! It keeps giving because you’ve done the work, you’re such a great gardener.
The continuous bounty from your garden, highlighted in the July 2024 homestead harvest, is a true testament to your hard work and dedication. Your ability to nurture and sustain such a thriving garden reflects your deep commitment to self-sufficiency and the joy of cultivating your own food. The abundance you’ve achieved not only showcases your gardening skills but also emphasizes the rewarding connection between effort and harvest. Your success is both inspiring and a beautiful example of sustainable living. And I am Floating Village Life.
Another RUclipsr I watch, she does organic gardening, she takes tape and puts on the eggs when she them. She said it’s time consuming, but it helps keeps a lot of plants bug free
Love love love it!! Big and bountiful beautiful garden!! My hubby and I love your videos!! Love your yard!! You have a cute family! Enjoy the fruits of labor!!
I just got my first order of Redmond Salt. Thank you for the discount code. I can’t wait to try it. I love your channel. I’m watching your older videos and learning lots.
nasturtums are deterants for squash bugs and are edible, also once your done with them you can toss them to your chickens as greens. marigolds are also deterants.
I cannot wait to see your potato haul it's always fun even if the harvest is small. Love watching all the garden things while dreaming of future gardens. Apartment living sucks!
Last year, I had to pull TONS of green tomatoes from my plants due to a frost coming and was able to make 12 pints of salsa verde! I think I used a recipe from one of the Ball canning books. It’s delicious if you ever have trouble growing/finding tomatillos 😊
Hey, Kelsey! Watching you while I do my morning routine. This may help you with those one bite beans-think of it as taste tested. They took one bite and it tasted horrible so they moved on. They actually saved you from processing so much bad tasting food. ❤
Japanese beetle traps do work. Trick is to not put it where the beetles are. You need to put it outside your garden but near enough for them to smell the pheromones. 😊
Fall garden is my favorite. I got hit with early blight harder than usual but the only rain we got all season was after the blight had set in so I couldn’t treat it properly. Like you, I decided to give myself some grace ( I struggle with that if I’m being honest ) I’m going to focus on fall because most of the market farmers around me grow an abundance of summer crops so I can always purchase something if I need to for preserving.
Good morning! ☀️ I enjoyed my first cherry tomato yesterday while watering, what a treat it was. There are a couple more on the plant but not yet fully ripe. I have 38 paste tomato plants, two cherry and one beefsteak tomato plants and the cherry tomato plant is the only one that has something ready to eat. Most don’t even have any tomatoes starting. I wonder if the excessive heat played a role in the lack of fruit starting?? We need some rain too. It’s going to be much cooler this week which will be nice for getting some weeding and harvesting done. Your harvest and the flowers are looking so beautiful! 🌸 I’m glad you had a lovely time away with Matt, thank you friend for sharing your garden with us. 🤗
I would definitely say the heat is contributing to the lack of tomatoes, the plants might be stressed. It’s been tough summer for everyone it seems! Hopefully soon things settle a bit. Thanks so much, it was nice to get away but also just as nice to come home ☺️ blessings ❤️
Everything looks yummy! We ate a big pan of blistered shishito peppers no problem so it might just be a side dish if you and your family like them. I like roasted okra. Green beans steamed then cooked with bacon is a winner here. Borscht would take care of your cabbage and beets.
I saw a recipe online that I haven’t tried yet but they used a bundt pan to make a huge amount of baked jalapeño poppers. I’m looking forward to trying that.
@@seedandsparrowhomestead I responded but I guess RUclips didn’t like my answer. You cut the top off, core, stuff and stand them up in the pan instead of laying them on their side. The recipe is on P - intrest ( I think that’s why it didn’t post when I responded before) if you need a visual reference.
for when you come in from the garden to cool off or family, friend or church gathering: Banana Brunch Punch Serves: 3 qts. From the Kitchen of: Lorita Sutton Ingredients: 6 med. ripe banana 1 can (12 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed, 1 can (6 oz.) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed 1 can (46 oz.) pineapple juice 3 cups warm water, divided 2 cups sugar, divided 3 bottles (2 liters each) lemon-lime soda Recipe instructions: In blender or food processor, blend bananas, orange juice, lemonade until smooth. Remove half of the mixture and set aside. Add 1 1/2 cups of warm water and 1 cup sugar to mixture in blender; blend until smooth. Place in a large freezer container. Repeat with remaining banana mixture, water and sugar; add to container. Cover and freeze until solid. One hour before serving, take punch base out of freezer. Just before serving, place in a large punch bowl. Add pineapple juice and soda; stir until well blended. You can Garnish with orange slices & lemon slices if desired. Yield 16 to 20 servings. This is my favorite punch to use for a party or summer gathering!
Maybe just plant peas all over as a cover crop to help boost the nitrogen in the soil and to deters weeds from filling in the empty spaces. You can always plant your fall garden in the same area as the peS
I am lucky 173 to like this video... I slept in. LOL. So I have liked, shared and commenting. I totally get it... I had to say no to purchasing local fruit as I do not have the strength to can it right now.... Hugs from Esquimalt
As for things to do with the peppers... Do yourself a solid and dry them any which way you like. make sure to wear safety goggles, long sleeved shirt, the best mask you have for breathing.... and keep all distractions away for this part... Get your spice grinder of choice out and blitz the peppers till a fine powder, add some of your favourite salt and fresh cracked pepper with some sort of green herb... Oregano or Basil or Mint or Rosemary that is also dried and blitzed.... Mix and you now have your own Pepper Salt. If you want you can also add a bit of sugar, but I don't. You will thank me.... Hugs from Esquimalt
@@seedandsparrowhomestead I hear ya. I make a LOT of chicken tamales, chicken verde and cream cheese burritos, breakfast chilaquiles, white bean chili and chile rellenos casseroles. They all batch cook well ( aside from chilaquiles) so if you need ways to use your salsa, they are good work lunches for the week if Matt eat that kind of stuff.
I'm curious...what do you spray your garden for bugs? We are doing our best NOT to use chemicals. We lost our radishes to bugs. I'm in NC so the heat here has been 95 plus for weeks with little rain. However, we got our break this week. Highs in the 80's with rain! So thankful!
If U have chilli trees U can keep them over winter but they do loik like dead sticks...but still alive...to grow next year U may need to dig up if snow...protect for winter inside house... Are U going to bake the beetroots...yummee...😮😮😮😮😅😮😮
I was wondering the same thing! The greenhouse that I normally get stuff from sold plants they called “pepperoncini” last year and I raised the shishito from seeds that were a couple of years old. They looked identical. What I had gotten in the past labeled pepperoncini was a shorter rounder yellowish green pepper.
I don't know if you'll see this before you give the beans to your chickens but I've read numerous times to NOT give beans to chickens because it can kill them!
I’ve heard that before. I’ve given them a few here and there in moderation and never had any issues over the last 7 years. It can definitely be a problem if they are given in excess or often!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead Oh ok. I had read not to even give them one and it scared me when I saw you were gonna give them to yours. Good to know it’s not gonna kill them to have a few!
Pickled pepperoncini is wonderful for Mississippi beef or pork.
Give to family and friends.

The hollyhocks are just gorgeous❣️

Congratulations on your 50,000 subscribers! I’m really tickled for you!
I can't understand how some people have a bountiful garden and some of us struggle hard to get one cucumber.😢

I’d use those cherry tomatoes to make the Ticktock Cherry Tomato Feta Pasta. It’s really delicious and so easy to make.
We are having a heat wave here in Ontario, Canada. Our tomatoes are still green. Last week we had terrible rains and flooding. Thanks for sharing.
Oh no! Hopefully the weather settles soon! ❤️❤️❤️
@@seedandsparrowhomestead its very hot now, but all our major highways were flooded, my husband took 3 hours to get home.

Wow
I came over from Plow and Pantry channel who did a video highlighting some of her favorite channels.
She is so sweet! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed ❤️
Weeds are a part of it… Still Beautiful and a Blessing!!
Very true! ❤️❤️❤️

I do a korean cucumber salad with a kind of "marinade" takes a flavorless cucumber and turns it into a delicious side dish
I live in Irwin! I love watching your channel! Bonus because we have the same weather conditions ❤
The cucumbers are a great size for lady Ashburn pickles still usable
Our cucumbers have barely been putting out as well. Weve been watering and thankfully have gotten rain , but I think they are done.
I've been getting one at a time.
Same! Sadly. Cucumbers are my favorite….
You can shell those beans

It was nice and I got to sleep in until 7am today with felt like a vacation 😂
Beautiful harvest! Val C
Thank you ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️

@@seedandsparrowhomestead Exactly!!! 😆
What kinds of things do you do with your kale? I did kale this year for the first time this year. Great harvest! Nancy from Nebraska
You could make cinnamon pickles with cucumbers that have gotten too big for fresh eatting.

Tomatillos are good producers. I plant four because I preserve salsa verde like you preserve applesauce. Give me all the salsa verde 😂
Lol! I like it and enjoy cooking meat in it but not enough to can like I do applesauce 😂

I’ll use some organic sprays like captain jacks. I’ll use a BT spray for worms and caterpillars!
Please show your tomatio? When you process if you can, have heard of it but never seen it or eaten it.
You bet! Coming Friday ❤️

Are U going to bake the beetroots...yummee...😮😮😮😮😅😮😮
My tomatoes are just starting to ripen. Had weeks of no rain now we have rain almost every day. Some are showing signs of splitting.
This summer weather has been hard on the gardens!
Maybe it’s a PA thing but I can find any tomatillo plants for sale in my corner of PA either🙁
I can't sleep anywhere, heck I can barely sleep decently in my own bed let alone in a different one.
Oh no! 😂 I understand that! I went through a long bout of not sleeping well for about a year! No fun at all!

Did peppergate from a few years ago continue?because those two peppers sure look alike 😊

How do you use your pineapple sage? I grew some last year and have alot dried. I've used it with pork and fish. But, was curious how you use it.
I’ve used it with chicken and pork but I use it most in iced tea!
سلام خدا برکت بده خانم خسته نباشید
My cherry tomatoes split soon as I pick them up any suggestions?
Picking too late most likely! Could also be from picking after a good rain, they swell up and crack more easily ❤️
❤❤❤❤
❤️☺️🤗
did you know roses and tulips are edible.
Did you go to college? Which one?
Does your microphone need to be on your boob? Distracting...sorry!!
I do love your garden! Id take hollyhock seeds if you dont keep any. Thanks😊
I think if the microphone is higher, then we'd only hear weird breathing noises and lower we wouldn't hear anything! 😅
I love your flowers!
