I wanted to let you know that I heard that we’re gonna have to have food for about three years cause we’re gonna come into three years of hard times so looks like you’re doing good. Just keep on canning!! You are an awesome person!!😻❤️
Congratulations on your son’s graduation. Thank you for the updates. I was beginning to wonder if all was well with you. I am glad you’re ok and I’m looking forward to your pickle video.
I watched a guy propagate rose clippings and he used pretty much the same set up as you except with a 2 liter bottle with the bottom cut out and then placed over a rose clipping in a regular gallon plastic container. He made the point that the open top of the bottle with the curve of the bottle kept the moisture in but helped the HEAT to escape as they still get pretty hot in there. He has wonderful success with propagating this way. You can find him on RUclips under Mike Kincade-" How to grow roses from cuttings fast and easy". Love to experiment with propagation and you learn so much in the process- Thanks for the video!
I don't prune, and I live in Georgia. I trim them at the very beginning of the season before they can outgrow the blight. We also put up a shade cloth so that they aren't as stressed. It doesn't seem to matter if I prune or not because they won't last a full season here. They could theoretically last until November but usually by September, they are tired.
I have found a great use for over abundance s of squashes! If we can't eat them all, I thin slice and dehydrate them. Following that, I throw them into my Magic Blender and turn them into veggie powder. I can add a bit to pastas or soups, smoothies, etc. This works great for greens too! ❤
If I were you don't wait for the tomatoes harvest before planning on what to grow next year and where. Every time I watch your outdoor videos I see loads of open space. There's so much potential all around your hous. You could grow anything you like for immediate use and canning. Corn, pumpkin, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes. Plant a small orchard. A kitchen/herb garden close to your kitchen. Maybe raise your own chickens, turkeys and pigs. You got a totally blank canvas outside your house. I know it sounds daunting but you don't have to do it all at once. Sit down with a piece of paper and draw up a plan what you like to plant and possible locations. Maybe your Amish friends could help you with tips and advice. I don't know how much they interact with outsiders but seeing you are helping them out during harvest times, why not ask? First and most importantly find out what growing zone you are in and what frost dates apply to yor area. And have fun creating your own garden. You can do it. I did.
I agree about tomatoe information. I have decided a major factor is how tight they are planted. Mine are tight, so I make sure to prune for some airflow underneath. And that is all I know! 😊
PS? Proigating Roses is pretty easy, as the Old World does it! You take a cane piece about 10" long. Stick it in the ground (dont forget to watch cane direction, with root end side in ground), water it well. Cover with 2 quart size jar. Wait. Lol When you see lots of leaves and growth? Remove the jar. Voila! Many bushes propigate by pegging a branch to the ground.😢 Where the branch is burried in soil, it will start its roots. Wait until lots of roots and growth, before cutting the msin branch off! Taadaa! Lol For harder bushes, dip cuttings in rooting hormone powder, or let sit in willow branch water, because willow has the natural growth hormones. Softer stems can be in water for roots, or soil. Hormone powder helps it in both types, but they Sell for it both hard and soft cuttings. Hard canes can be directly put in soil, after the powder spplied, but you need to keep them damp specifically! So in pots is good. The rose canes are hard, but the jars act as greenhouse and keep it watered for you.
I'm in nw Missouri and i have never pruned my tomatoes. If we pruned them here the fruit would get sunburned. If they don't have enough leaves to cover the fruit thats what happens. I have actually had it happen to watermelons and squash years ago. Usually put the corn on the west side of the other plants for afternoon shade.
So good to see you again and congratulations on your son's graduation!! Your garden is gorgeous. Very interested in seeing how your prpagation experiment turns out. Hope to see you soon .😊
Hey You can still plant a number of NEW zucchini and cucumber plants in time for a big harvest if you do it soon. But of course you need space for that
Just take the bottom leaves, don’t prune after that. Let it grow naturally you’ll get a better harvest. But make sure to plant it deep or laying down a bit.
I just made my first pickles ever and I'm scared of tasting them and discovering I messed it up. 🤣So, I planned ahead and made 2 small giveaway jars for when we have our bbq pot luck next weekend and whoever dares taste them gets to take home a small jar.😬🤣 Congrats on your son's graduation. They do grow up so fast and empty nest syndrome is real and tough.
Congratulations on your sons graduation and wish him well in his new chapter of life. Your garden is doing well. With your tomatoes, are they different kinds of paste tomatoes. I love patty pan squash, I'd be happy to take what your daughter doesn't eat 😂 I have never propagated flowers before so very curious on your outcome, hope it goes well!!
👍😉 Living near an Amish community gives me a huge advantage in the peace of mind category. It's a security blanket of sorts that can give us 'newbies' a space to try things knowing that if we make a mistake, we won't starve to death. And they get a bit of a laugh watching us learn... 😆
First off congrats on the son's graduation,,,,, and congratulations on the garden success. Just out of curiosity from a male that follows you, and loves what you're doing, is it worth it to can broth like that, when you could spend your efforts elsewhere? And not in a bad way, but is the homemade broth that much better than bouillon, to justify the "time and space" that it takes?
I have been making smaller batches of chicken broth in my instapot. can that still be water bath canned for the shelf using your three hour water bath method? I am just not home enough to do the over night nesco way. would love to but work full time. thanks for you channel and your time God Bless
I totally understand not knowing who to trust when it comes to gardening! I have had a lot of success with Brian at Next Level Gardening. He has great tips and tricks that I have been very successful with. Best of all, he provides help with cost effective ways of growing and maintaining a garden which my pocketbook appreciates! I highly recommend checking out one of his recent videos on how to make your own free organic fertilizer from weeds!!!
Congrats on your son’s graduation. They grow up so fast. Love your channel. Good to hear from you again.
I’m so glad your garden is growing well
Glad you are back!! You rock!!!
I wanted to let you know that I heard that we’re gonna have to have food for about three years cause we’re gonna come into three years of hard times so looks like you’re doing good. Just keep on canning!! You are an awesome person!!😻❤️

Always happy to see a video from you. Yay for your son graduating. Shalom
You should try to make some sun tea in this hot weather. Just for fun. It will give you something to drink when you take a break.

Good luck on your experiment! The grow domes look great. Perhaps consider change when the leaves grow and touch those domes 🙏🏻

If you get a chance, dip the cut end with raw honey. It helps the clippings to root.😊

So excited to see the hydrangea experiment.
Congratulations on your son’s graduation! It’s so nice to see your face again. I have missed you posting.
Your produce looks great. My grannies wb canned green tomatoes! Just a thought for you.
Thank you for the update. I enjoy your creativity.
I enjoy your videos! I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your cuttings.

Oh, thank you for sharing. I have a hydrangea that I'd love to propagate. I will give it a whirl!
Your garden produce is looking good..
