Get the mint out of the ground while it's small, it spreads like the worst weed you've ever had, keep in pots only. Love all of your trees, so jealous, here in Ohio everything is dead. I planted an apple tree last year, hopefully it makes it through this winter. This video helped my mood, love all of the green!
So true! I brought some mint home from my mother-in-law and I’ve been fighting it for years now. The roots are big and woody and hard to pull out at times!

All the fresh fruit is a real blessing! It sounds like you have some really nice neighbors, which is a blessing in itself. I was proud to see your open bible on the table. You're doing good Prepper Princess.
Same here! I'm in Fife and started a veggie garden last summer, not much grew very well, apart from my Swiss chard. Will try again this year though. Love home grown stuff 😊
I’m in Australia and just got home from the supermarket. I’m used to prices being crazy but just saw a bag of 5 average sized lemons for $7.50. Who buys these? I’m not really on a budget but even I won’t pay that. It’s outrageous. Your free fruit is a blessing. I can’t believe the birds don’t get it all.
I pick up loose change and empty water bottles up all day. I'm a city bus driver in California . I bring my lunch every day and make $20 extra each week just picking up. $1040 extra by the end of the year.
I’m down to one meal a day Butter in hot water for breakfast instead of coffee w/cream. It’s honestly not bad, I was very surprised. I stir before each drink of it. Literally cry walking into grocery store.
I too, live in California. Right now citrus 🍋🍊 is everywhere: lemons, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit! Most people don't even pick it they go buy it! It's baffling, because the fruit from stores don't taste as good! And it's expensive. I live in the city, and a few years ago , I even found an avocado 🥑 tree! No one would take the avocado except for me and I'd give them to my friends! The free fruit 🍓 and veggies are one of the good things about California because crime, theft, tent ⛺/ sanctuary cities, cost, and 🔥 fires 🚒 , are out of control! Thank goodness for free fruit.
I’m so jealous of those beautiful orange trees! I live in the Upstate of South Carolina so we are too cold here for them to grow. I love how you share with neighbors!
We're not quite so lucky here in N, Florida, but we do have many fruits and nut trees that grow here. Oranges, satsumas and lemons are everywhere, and I'm blessed with a neighbor that brings me bags of lemons. I try my best to utilize as much as I can and make jellies and marmalades, and I've learned to cook with them, too, mostly Greek and Southern Italian food. Nothing like a French lemon tart, lemon pound cake or orange or lemon marmalade cake for tea! I want to plant some olive trees and am SO jealous! I have two 3 gallon crocks for fermenting. Olives are so darned expensive! Supplementing with foraged fruits and berries is so healthy! You're wise to do exactly what you're doing, my friend!
I have a suggestion of you if you get a lot of lemons, you might want to look at Morrocaan recipes if you fancy trying making Moroccan preserved lemons (salted). 🙂
lucky to have all of those fruit trees and fruits, yes. But we dont. But we have other things that is provided in ways that not everyone all sees.............in other words, you use wisely what YOU have and I use wisely what I have; not worried about what someone ELSE has. I am not going to envy YOUR fruit trees. I am blessed in many other ways!! When you talk about what YOU HAVE Prepper P, that helps us think about how we can be creative in our own resources! Thank you for what you do!
I lived in Concord when I was a kid. I miss the pecan trees that used to grow along the road when I walked to school. We would gorge ourselves on them. Walnut trees used to grow on a vacant lot near a church. We picked tons of them, the shells were really thin so they were easy to pick clean. I miss those days.
I love getting free food. We have various fruits wild around us and sometimes neighbors or coworkers will off load their extras. We do our duty to preserve and eat as much as possible because it is such a blessing to us.
Be careful with planting the mint directly into the ground. It's wonderful but very invasive and hardy. It will take over your yard. I'm in Canada and it was still green and sticking out of the snow earlier in December. It's practically unkilllable 😅
Totally enjoyed this video! Awesome how you can get fresh fruit everyday! I live in Wisconsin so I grow apples, plums, pears, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. I freeze the berries for winter and make and can plum and applesauce to enjoy until the next harvest. Sending ❤️
Your house looks great! My grandmother in Florida had orange trees and we had fresh squeezed oj in the morning. My sister-in-law lived in Utah and had fresh peaches on her peach tree. Here in Wisconsin, we get apples.
Thank you for this video. One correction, if I may. That was not a strawberry tree, it was an arbutus one. I have one in my garden in Peloponisos, in Greece. It is considered to be a superfood, you are supposed to have only one or two per day, it is very powerful. Thanx.
I’m moving to a house on 6 acres in California this week with a half acre orchard of fruit and nut trees 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I can’t wait to be able to provide for my family with fruit and eggs
I love that you actually use the fruit in your trees. I see so many home owners with fruit trees that they let sit and rot. I always thought that is free food that can be shared with their community.
those "strawberry" trees we call medronho in portuguese... Although they have a sweet taste we normally don't eaten directly from the tree, we use them to make liquor. They ferment very easily, often even in the tree they start to ferment. I often make little liquor bootles that I gift in easter or christmas. You can drink then directly or use then in recipes that use other types of sweet liquor.
Mint must stay in a pot! I spent 5 years ripping it out. In the end, I gave up . I fenced the area up and placed rabbits on it. It finally did the trick.
Awesome video My goodness. I haven't seen your pups in a while! They are GORGEOUS 🥰 Thank you for sharing your wisdom and advice Beans and Rice and Jesus Christ 📖
@judyking4597 I love it. Helps Keep me grounded and focused. I got it from MARTINMIDLIFE MISADVENTURES. I asked if I could steal it, and they said YES.
Olives are great nutritionally, what a shame you don't like them. In England absolutely nothing grows in January, most of our harvest is September/October. I have a plum tree and grow raspberries that I freeze for through the winter. I make lots of conserve from the plums. I also forage lots of blackberries as they grow everywhere and are one of the best berries to eat, twice as nutritient dense as blueberries.
That's what grows in the greater Seattle area also. You ought to be able to grow certain types of blueberries, apples , walnuts etc in England. Hope you investigate that and can at least grow some in pots where you are.
I live in England and in January its very cold and nothing grows . There are a couple of wild apple trees you could pick . Elderberries grow all over the place .Brambles are readily available . A fruit called damson grows in the hedgerows (we have a lot of hedgerows ) it looks like a small plum . My grandmother used to know where wild mushrooms grew but would never tell anyone . I remember her cooking some in her kitchen and she let me have a small amounts . There are probably lots more things available but these are from my experience . I really enjoyed your article especially where you picked oranges as it is something my wife has wanted to do all her life . We would have to go to Spain to do this
Strawberry jam. 2 cups sugar 1 cup berries. Slow rolling boil on stove, constantly stir until desired thickness(20-30 min) and put in jar and refrigerate. Nothing else needed but you must refrigerate ASAP. If you do not like chunks smash them with a hand masher.
You are so lucky to be able to supplement your food choices with all that free fruit! I live in Lancashire in the UK and we get rain about 300 days out of 365...the only thing that grows well here is mould and moss...!! You can collect blackberries (I do) in summer, some crab apples (very sour) I do grow plums, apples, strawberries and raspberries. Also blackcurrants, rhubarb and salad and greens in summer. Oh I nearly forgot I also grow potatoes, tomatos... they all do grow here but only in tiny amounts and only for very short parts of the year...still it's better than nothing!
Wow! You’re so lucky having all those fruit trees. I don’t comment too much but I love your videos and advice. I’ve grown my own herbs and vegetables last few years in grow bags and it’s so rewarding.
@@presennababu6507 at least $1 for a lemon…not sure what limes are right now, if you can even get them. In Central Canada in January, you pay hundreds at the grocery store, or learn to preserve, etc. Watching someone pick citrus fruit off a tree on the street is like a fantasy tale up here. 😵💫😃🇨🇦
You know you can freeze citrus and make juice when thawed? Just saying... I freeze limes and lemons just so they are juicier when thawed. I use them for carbonated lime water or lemon, honey, and ginger tea.
Hi prepper princess, I just watched your video on the California fires and just wanted to thank you for approaching the subject with empathy and compassion. I just want to ask you if you can do a video on why insurance is failing. Health insurance, homeowners, flood, fire, etc. Why are theses systems failing not just in CA? And what can people do to secure themselves even if they are insured.
Some say evidence is being destroyed, lots of celeb homes down, others say it's to make way for that railway or whatever they planned for the 2028 smart city. (The previous and current fires line up with these areas) they don't want to payout so they are forced to give up the property and can't rebuild.
When I grew up everyone had crabapple trees, raspberries, strawberries in their backyard. Now I live in a new neighborhood and almost nobody has planted anything. The irony is the fruit varieties are so much better now. Now we can grow real apples, not just crabapples, etc.
That is so awesome where you live! I live in The Netherlands and no citrus trees. They can only grow in pots and in winter time they must stay inside doors. And few people have space for this. What we do have in this mild sea climate is lots of edible weeds whole year round. They are not filling but are very healthy for minerals and can be very tasty. I am lucky I live in an area with a lot of pear and apple trees where people can freely pick from. Few people do. They are not the type of pears and apples that are tasty to eat from the tree, but you can make, sauce, jams, pies and other dishes with them. Here also, few people do this. Except with the walnut trees. That is almost 'a fight'. Making sprouts of sunflower seeds and brown lentils is easy, doesn't cost much and are a kind of natural supplements too.
Saint Louis prices: 3 lbs bag of Cuties is $5.99 6 oz blueberries is $2.99 A navel orange = 84 cents A jumbo orange = $1.49 Both navel and jumbo are on sale. Did not get any because they were too soft.
Ms PP, I use lemons to clean my microwave. I cut them in half. Squeeze half of a lemon into a bowl put the other one on top. Microwave for a minute, wipe down the microwave.
I have a strawberry tree in my backyard the berries are best in like Jam form and the leaves of those trees help you fall asleep if used in tea format it’s like a natural melatonin or Benadryl in the phytochemicals of that plant
I live in AZ and our season is January and February. But they aren't quite ready yet. What we don't eat I was giving it away, but last year decided to can the juice. My fear with freezing was the freezer going out.
Great video. Hope you remain safe from fires. Your home looks so pretty!

I’m in Ohio also. Sick of snow and cold.
Yes! I had an empty flower bed fill up with mint that was originally planted on the other side of the fence in my neighbors yard!!
Yup
So true! I brought some mint home from my mother-in-law and I’ve been fighting it for years now. The roots are big and woody and hard to pull out at times!

I Love it so great ! Im sure the fruits are way better than what you can get at the grocery store .
Gods pharmacy prayer 🙌
I've never had an orange fresh from the tree. I'll bet they're amazing. Am I the only person who has never heard of a strawberry tree?
Yes fresh orange off a tree peeled and ate right away is so delicious. I think someone wrote in and said what kind of tree that was. Not strawberry.
What a kind thing for neighbors to do for each other ❣️
You guys are very fortunate to have all that growing around you. I'm in Scotland in the UK. It's too cold for all those fruits. Enjoy!

Where I live U can recycle plastic and glass bottles and aluminumun cans and get money for it and the parks are so much cleaner because of it.
I usually pick them up too
I’m down to one meal a day
Butter in hot water for breakfast instead of coffee w/cream. It’s honestly not bad, I was very surprised. I stir before each drink of it.
Literally cry walking into grocery store.
This is a revelation, I live in northern England UK... I'm lucky if it is warm enough to grow lettuce outside in June...
that is such a bonus to have all them fruits in your own yard

You can make jams and pickles with excess fruit and veg.

I never heard of a strawberry tree
Prepper Princess also donates boxes of the excess fruit to food banks, for those who don't have access to these neighborhood trees!!
Well, just 1 food bank.

Thanks for that. It looked like strawberries to my amazement. I had to run and tell my hubbie about the strawberry tree I just saw here. 😄😄😄

$8.48-$14.98 here depending on which ones you get.
Gotta love our Northern CA weather and produce!! Your place looks so cozy and homey with addition of the home decor things to tie it all together too.
It’s the leftover from my rental property.
What a lovely home you have and that neighborhood, Wow!!! Just beautiful!!!
Olives are one of my favorite foods 😂🎉
I have never seen a strawberry tree. I would be picking every day. Love the foraging videos
They don’t taste much like strawberries. It’s just what they call the tree.
You should put a box out with the olives, like the other person did. I bet someone would take them versus going to waste.
Wow! I just want to pick that lovely fruit. How lucky you are to live there, things grow so abundantly. Greetings from iron-cold London.
I love that you actually use the fruit in your trees. I see so many home owners with fruit trees that they let sit and rot. I always thought that is free food that can be shared with their community.
@Bloom2Grow Not in the U.S. If the tree is on your property, it's yours only. Sharing between neighbors is great!
Oh wow! Beautiful fruits!! I’m envious! What a blessing❤ I live in NC, all the way across the country. It’s freezing here🥶
I never new there we're strawberry trees that's so awesome. God bless 🙏✝️🕊️
How nice, those orange trees in your front yard. You are blessed! Turn those olives into olive oil and trade for something you want with a neighbor.
REAL olive oil only lasts 3 days.
I’ve never even seen an orange tree, or an olive tree. That really is a benefit of living in CA!

Add fresh mint to cranberry juice with some slices of lemon or lime. Let sit in fridge few hours or overnight. Its amazing !!!
That sounds delicious.
Get that mint out of the ground or it will take over your who garden. Keep it potted. :-)
yep. took over my whole herb garden

Olives are great nutritionally, what a shame you don't like them. In England absolutely nothing grows in January, most of our harvest is September/October. I have a plum tree and grow raspberries that I freeze for through the winter. I make lots of conserve from the plums. I also forage lots of blackberries as they grow everywhere and are one of the best berries to eat, twice as nutritient dense as blueberries.
That's what grows in the greater Seattle area also. You ought to be able to grow certain types of blueberries, apples , walnuts etc in England. Hope you investigate that and can at least grow some in pots where you are.
They grow everywhere here. In an SHTF situation I would definitely use them to make olive oil…very nutrient dense and high in calories.
