Love your videos! To get the garlic smell off your hands, rub all sides of your hands around on your stainless steel sink. Only works on stainless steel. I laugh when I do it because my husband gives me funny looks. Rolling my hands around in the empty sink probably does look funny, but it works! 🤣
It does work! After using my sink and faucet for years, I bought a stainless steel tool for rubbing my garlicky hands on. It's shaped like a bar of soap, lol.
I just love your side stops to your garden 😊😊😊❤️!!! So sweet!!!! We all need to stop and enjoy the beautiful things in life. Your garden and flowers are beautiful!!!!! Great job. Love the little taste test you do throughout your garden 😊❤
The stainless steel trick actually works for removing the garlic smell from your hands. Rub your hands on your stainless steel faucet (anything else you have that’s stainless steel) and it takes most of the scent away. Hope you have a beautiful day!

You might want to check out Simple Living Alaska for tips on keeping bees alive in extreme cold. They have been (somewhat) successful prior to moving to an even colder climate. They have also put in an epic garden with a Jurassic Park fence to keep out moose, etc! They are well worth watching (and so goshdarn young and energetic!).
You have taught me so much in just a short time. I love you and your style as an influencer. I can’t afford to join the membership however that does not mean like I feel like I am missing out. I’m about to try water bath canning this weekend and you gave me the confidence to try making bread. I have a lot of time to try new things as I care for my elderly father and it gives me a lot of Little Mountain Ranch time❤️
garlic and onion smells on your hands= rub a large stainless steel spoon all over your hands and then wash them- works really well- I have even used my faucet lol- make a lot of Italian sauces- so we use so much garlic and onion- actually learned from a TV chef but can't remember who
Try those scapes chopped up with asparagus or green beans and roasted with salt and pepper then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Chefs kiss. You do have to get them tender or they might have fibers.
Hi Chelsea, I wanted to mention my Dad used to wrap our bee hives in tar paper for the winter it does 2 things it helps keep out the wind and because its black it attracts the sun and helps keep them warm. Hope it helps. Love your show😊 Kim
You are a wealth of real homesteading knowledge Chelsea . Thank you for sharing it , I have been living this type of life for a long time but Iam not to old to learn, and you are an excellent teacher .
Soo happy I discovered this channel, love the content and I always look forward to the next video. I learn so much from all your videos, especially because I hope to transition into this way of living instead of city life. I'm done with living in the city and surprisingly, so are my kids. Such a breath of fresh air to watch your videos!
Hi Chelsea, whenever I work with garlic I wash my hands and then rub them on my stainless steel faucet and I don’t know the exact science behind it but it definitely takes the smell away from my hands. Just a little suggestion to try. You may have to do it 2-3 times. Love your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and life!💕
I’m so glad to know someone else that eats their beet tops sister!! In my opinion they are even better than the beets themselves, I love them SO much! Thanks for another great walk through your beautiful yard/garden friend. 👍❤️. Yours is so much healthier than mine this year so I’m living vicariously through you! Haha!
Oh! You've got to make beet tops soup, it's a traditional Polish dish called "Botwinka", it's best with potatoes slightly browned in butter and served with crumbled feta cheese and some cream. And the color is absolutely gorgeous. It's one of the most springy/summery dishes for me, highly recommend. Sending lots of love from Poland!
A local farm store had their seeds for 50 cents a month or so ago. I must have picked up 100 pks! Among them was a double cosmos that I’m excited to grow next year😊
FYI, If you have any stainless steel, and rub your hands with it. It takes the smell off your hands it works for onions also, I've used one of my butter knives and rubbed my hands and it works. How it works I don't know love your channel.
Last year my garlic did not do well, but I happened upon someone who had a whole plastic kids sled of free scapes! I took a bunch, and whizzed (or whazzed 😊) them in the food processor. Then I scooped into little balls and froze them. Whenever I wanted garlic for a recipe, I just used one of the scape balls . So much easier than chopping fresh garlic!
Try looking at Simple Living Alaska videos for information on 🐝 beekeeping in cold climates.😘love watching your videos and enjoying your garden . Rings me so much joy!
I love the canned peaches, but I can only have a certain variety of the peaches. Plus I can't have refined white sugar, so I was struggling a bit to find such a product until I found out that I can actually can them myself. But waterbathing was just taking so much time and water until you introduced steam canning and I just couldn't get my mind off of it and I finally gave in 😂 and bought a steam canner. I can't wait to try canning with it!! I haven't found the time to process and can them yet but I'm looking forward to it. Because it's going to cut down the time and water usage, I'm really really looking forward to it. Thank you so much!!
How To Caramelize Onion in the slow cooker You'll Need 6 pounds yellow onions, peeled, cut in half and sliced 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste Put the sliced onions in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker, along with the butter, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. you can put as much onions as your crock pot/slow cooker will hold because they cook down and then divide for recipes! Cover the crockpot and cook on low overnight, or for 10-12 hours. The onions should be dark golden brown and soft. I usually put 3 lbs. of onions for 1 recipe of French onion soup and another 3lbs of onions for sandwiches and Burgers and other things If you have a large slow cooker you could do 9 pounds yellow onions, peeled, cut in half and sliced 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste Put the sliced onions in a 5-quart (or larger) slow cooker, along with the butter, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. you can put as much onions as your crock pot/slow cooker will hold because they cook down and then divide for recipes! Cover the crockpot and cook on low overnight, or for 10-12 hours. The onions should be dark golden brown and soft.

Chelsea, if you have time watch the latest episode of TheNewbys. Really neat episode about starting up their beekeeping with the help of a local lead of a bee cooperative. They are in Portugal so maintaining will be easier but it was fascinating seeing the startup. 😍🇨🇦
You should try fermenting hot pepper for 3 to 4 daysand red onions for 12 hours to 1 day in salt and lemon juice in fridge it's absolutely tasty on burgers or wraps or salads or rice with lentils or curry
So exciting to see your garden just getting started. I had such a good harvest of tomatoes and peppers that I tore my plants out today. I have no more storage. A freeze dryer would come in very handy rn.
Thank you for the info on determinate tomatoes. I had to switch this year as I cannot get up and down a ladder to prune anymore. Really enjoy your garden info as we too have only a 90 day season here at 6500 ft in the Rockies. Not many discuss areas like ours. Peony jelly amazing! Thank you for all your hard work. Jean Colorado USA
I had 6 microdwarf tomatoes in pots that were setting beautiful fruit. Unfortunately, something has begun to eat all the foliage, and I doubt I’ll get any tomatoes from them…grrrrrr. Along with my first planting of green beans that turned into a groundhog salad bar, I’m batting 1000😂
Love learning from you. I am in an area where we grow from early spring and into winter with very hot summers. Being able to harvest immature green tomatoes in fall are really special. Can the small green tomatoes with green cayenne peppers to use as an additive garnish for dried beans or making chow chow. My mother did this when I was a child and I really find them great to add flavor to one pot meals.
great videos , have a question though, when pickling what is the save life span of the pickles if left unopened and out of the fridge .. thanks your farm looks amazing
Sitting here just a little defeated this year with how things are going in my garden. Or rather, NOT going...we had to make the decision that we simply have to get out of doing chickens so that we can devote more quality time to the garden. It suffers again because all my energy ends up taken by dealing with birds. I do have a question for you--do you roast your chicken before pressure canning it the same way you do your pork? If so, do you add broth or just water to fill the jars?
Thought I was subscribed but wasn’t. I am now. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love all of your canning tips and tricks. I have a friend that told me about oven canning. Was wondering if you have ever done this or heard about it. I hadn’t before? She says it’s safe and does it frequently. Says she cans 18-20 jars at a time in the oven.
Here’s some info for you to check out. extension.psu.edu/say-no-to-oven-canning#:~:text=Simply%20described%2C%20oven%20canning%20is,water%20bath%20or%20pressure%20canner.
🇦🇺I have a few questions: Why do you need to skim the foam off the Jelly or jam for that matter? Is there something wrong with it? My family bought me the steam canner but I haven’t used it as yet, do you have a tutorial on how to use it?
Hey there, I don’t think it tastes good and I just need to scrape of off the jelly anyway. I have lots of videos where I use the steam canner but I don’t think I have a straight up tutorial. It operates the same as a water bath canner as far as canning times so if you know how to do that you’re good to go!
A steam canner should come with instructions for use. You basically watch for a good stream of steam to come out the ho,es on the sides instead of watching for the water in a water bath canner to boil.
I was going to join your group but I’m a man and it’s ladies only. I didn’t know. Im just trying to learn canning. I’m a single dad learning how to preserve things myself.
I’m so sorry, it’s. fairly intimate group and being a woman myself it feels appropriate - I’m kinda old school like that. That being said you’re welcome to send me a dm on instagram if you have any questions.

Works for hot peppers and fish as well❤
Oh, also for spicy essential oils 😊
I have a little metal soap-looking bar that I use with dish soap to get the garlic and onion smell off of my hands.
Came here to tell her about this! I use the center divider. It’s easy to grip and to get between your fingers. Works for onion smells, too!

Love your videos 💃

Chelsea u are such a good tutorial I find u so interesting I learn so much from u u explain everything so simple for people to understand
My favorite fermented foods is carrots, daikon,kohlrabi and cabbage. It does take some getting used to too.

Grape leaves I put in my pickles and I feel it helps keep them crisper .

Rub your hands on your faucet and taps to take away garlic smell,works like a charm ❤

Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.
Oh how nice of them to send you bees! I'm so excited for you!
I save the foam in a little bowl and eat is on a piece of toast or just with a spoon
Your garden and high tunnel looks beautiful
Your garden is looking beautiful! ❤
I love beet tops cooked and sprinkled with apple cider vinegar
Everything looks so beautiful Chelsea❤
I would love to see when you get your bees and how you prepare them for winter. That be so interesting! Thanks for another great vid!

Cacao butter, olive and coconut oil and a little bees wax.

There are some very good resources we for safe canning and preserving. Rose Red Homestead, Suttons Daze and Seed and Sparrow Homestead come to mind.
Do you have a link to Moonglow Farms that you mentioned?
Where do you get your pectin from? I’ve had the hardest time with it the past couple of years. Thanks
Hi there Chelsea. Oh no... I can't find the link to get on your wait list for membership.
Hi there! It’s right at the top of this site. Www.Littlemountainranch.com
Such beautiful jelly--is there a pronounced flavor?
What can u do if you have no freeze drying machine???
Just a suggestion but it would help if you could include the recipe in the show notes.
I usually do if there is one or I create a blog post on my blog.😊
Do you dehydrate the scapes first for garlic scape salt or just blend them with the salt and then dry as garlic salt? (I don't have a freeze dryer)
My garlic is very small this year, do u know why?
Hi Chelsea. Can you please tell me where you got your peaches
Desert Hills
Thank you!!!
How far apart do you space your determine tomato?
Around a foot and a half to two feet. Pretty close compared to most people, I think.
Is fermenting the same as pickling? Love your videos.
No, not the same although some people can fermented cucumbers fizzy pickles. My kids do!
hey sista your crowning glory is looking glorious
