You can dehydrate the carrot tops and use them like parsley!
And also use The carrot tops in replace of basil for a pesto it's actually really good
I grew up growing lots of food in the garden and getting milk straight from the dairy farmer. I had horrible unrelenting GI problems all of my life. in my mid thirties it became severe and guess what? That healthy farm milk was ruining me... I am severely lactose intolerant and probably allergic as well. It hard to explain to people that even "healthy" farm milk cannot be tolerated by some people. It's hard because so many homestead groups are focused on sourdough bread and dairy cows (one kid is severely gluten intolerant).
I'm amazed at the amount and variety you grow in such a small area. Everything looks wonderful and I enjoy your explanations of each plant. Sincerely hope you feel better soon.
Your garden is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
I love looking at everything in your garden. It's so peaceful, lush, and lovely, and gives me hope that maybe I can plant a small one next Spring. I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. I'm praying they find a solution soon so you can eat the fruits of your harvest again and not suffer.
I appreciate it so much, thank you!
Just getting a chance to see this video today.
I am so sorry that you have been struggling with health issues that couldn’t be diagnosed. I pray that your new doctor is on the way to your answer.
Your garden is beautiful and thank you for taking us along.
God bless.❤
I have said for a long time that it is more than going to the doctor, it is about finding the right doctor. I have been gluten free for 16 years due to my inflammation numbers being dangerously high. Totally worth it.
I love your garden tours. I love to go walk in my garden. It is so peaceful!
Thank you! I agree, it’s the most peaceful place for me too ☺️
Prayers the elimination diet brings the answers you need to eliminate the long-existing inflammation you are living with. One day at a time....with faith. Your garden brings so much joy to my heart. The flowers you are freeze drying are stunning. Would love to see future videos on what you do with them. Blessings.
Thank you so much!! Much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️ I’ll definitely show how I use the flowers ☺️
Ill be praying God heals you.
Beautiful garden!
I appreciate it so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I am going through the same kind of thing, Kelsey! I’m about to go on the GAPS Introduction Diet. Have you heard of that? I will keep you posted on how it goes for me (and my daughter as well).❤
I sure hope you find answers to your health problems. Just some advice as I’ve had a lot of health issues the last decade plus myself. I found out that I had low stomach acid, low pancreatic enzymes, and some bad gut bacteria. As I’m implementing changes to address these issues I am finding gradual relief. I have issues from joint muscle pain, allergies, chemical sensitivities, anxiety, migraines, skin rashes hormonal shifts….the list is pretty extensive. I thought if you have any of these issues I might be able to offer more advice.
Prayers for some answers about what's going on with your health and how to fix it.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I have watched most of your videos. I too have to be on a strict diet for a few health reasons. I hope all works out for you. I look forward to your videos, especially if it’s gluten free. Thank you for sharing your world with us. ❤️
Your videos are always so beautiful. Your garden looks awesome and so ahead of mine. Hope you will start to feel better very soon. Take care 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful flowers and bountiful garden. So very sorry to hear about your health issues. I’ll be praying for wisdom and discernment for your doctor, healing and God’s peace during this difficult time. ❤️🙏🏻Val C
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, Kelsey, how frustrating to have all that incredible home-grown produce right outside your door and not be able to eat it. Wishing you all the best on your healing journey. Also, pink yarrow...I never knew it grew in a pink variety, so very pretty.
Thank you so much! The Pink yarrow is a favorite! I'd like to get some yellow at some point too :)
Jessica from roots and refuge did a whole body reset a while ago. She seems hood now. Prayers for recovery and healing!
i relate to your humidity struggles as the classic PA humidity is just as horrid in NEPA 😮💨 praying that this diet gives you the answers and relief you need!! 💜
Ugh that humidity 😂 Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I keep my brassicas covered from day one. What a difference it makes for me. I even got a head of cauliflower this spring. More seeds will be started soon for a Fall harvest. Yeah God is good
It seems this is what I have to do! Now I know. Hopefully I’ll still get something but if not there is always fall!
Same here! I am so happy, even though my broccoli heads are pretty small. Last year I got nothin'! lol Insect netting (and shade cloth on 80+ degree days) made all the difference.
Hi. Your garden is so prolific and inspiring. Thank you for sharing it! So beautiful. I definitely know what you mean, about the lushness after a rain. We have been getting many days of rain too, and what a difference it makes. I can understand the frustration with not knowing what is happening to make one feel ill, as I have a similar journey. In my case as a pediatrician myself, it was a bit more challenging, thinking through potential possibilities from my medical background, and finding it still so challenging. Honestly, though, sometimes you may not know the specific cause, as it can be varied, and triggered by multiple things. However, take hope in knowing that, I would definitely say that food is healing, and working on providing a variety of vegetables, herbs, and the organic foods you are growing, is one of the best things you can do. Elimination diets are definitely tough. I have been there. Focusing in on that home grown organic variety, is something to definitely rely on, as you move through the elimination diet. I personally focus on primarily vegetables, organic grains, beans, seeds, fruits, minimal oil in cooking, and very little meat, and only home-grown meat, if any. Those things when eaten, are anti-inflammatory, and can help to heal. I share this to let you know you are not alone, that there is so much healing in foods, and they have definitely been placed here as a blessing for us to feel well, and healthy. Thank you again for sharing your garden, and I'm praying for your healing, and well-being.
I love watching you especially because of your location, I had told you before I am looking to move back to PA! Here in MN it is also very humid and it shouldnt be! I always cover my brassicas to keep the worms at bay. Love seeing the mountains in the background in your videos, I always tear up when I come back to visit my family when I see those magnificent peaks! I was wondering how loud is the freeze dryer? I have a small house and am not sure if I could sleep with the noise from it. Your garden looks amazing and the flowers are just stunning! Thank you for taking the time in that nasty humidity to share with us!
For cabbage and brassicas, you've got to cover them with insect netting as soon as they are planted out. We make PVC hoops to drape the netting over. This year with the nets on 24/7, we haven't had to even use BT! All Seasons Cabbage grows well in the heat.
Thank you! I'll definitely be doing that!
Blessings to you. I know you will be strong, and you will feel better soon. Your garden is beautiful, especially the keyhole garden.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I hope you will share how the freeze dried flowers turn out. I wanted to give that a whirl too but haven’t been able to confirm if that’s a good option for preserving or how it looks when finished. The garden is so full and lovely. 🙏 will be praying for you as you work with the new Dr to get to the bottom of your health issues.
I sure can! It crazy how well they are preserved. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful harvest ❤️ Praying for health answers and your healing journey. 😊
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I hope you get the answers you have been looking for! How did you determine how much inflammation your body contained? You have become one of my favorite YT channels to watch. So excited each time you put out a video.
Aw thank you! From some different scans and testing, plus symptoms that led to that testing. Inflammation isn’t my only symptom, one of many, but it must be addressed first before we can move on to other things. ❤️❤️❤️
Ah, elimination diets and similar ones are so hard, but I also did them a few times and it really does help. Sometimes it's so hard to pinpoint what is happening in our bodies until we take a closer look at our diets. But as we say in my country: I'm holding thumbs for your luck! All the best.
Oh they are, but it needs to be done, I can’t address other things until this inflammation goes down! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
With the elecampane, since it is the root you want, you can either harvest now so you don't have to leave it in the garden any longer or you could cut it back a couple of feet to allow the plant and the roots to continue to live/grow and then harvest the root in the fall which is the ideal time to harvest medicinal roots. But I think it has pretty leaves and would look pretty in the garden if you were to just keep it cut back to a shorter height. It's worth a try anyway. :)
Thank you for this advice! I may end up cutting back and harvesting in the fall. I have some other medical herbs I’d like to add in its place.
lovely harvest. I use beet greens, we like them. We use them like spinach. I love your flowers.
Thank you ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You for sharing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💞💚🥰🤗
❤️❤️❤️
Prayers for your health journey. It is very frustrating when you don’t feel good and don’t have answers. Loved the tour and harvest! Such a beautiful garden. Also loved your overalls - do you remember where you got them?
Thank you so much! The Overalls are from Duluth!
I just got the gastric sleeve and I have to eat in stages and I am miserable lol it’s so much harder than I thought! So I feel your pain!!
Ah man! Yeah it’s been a daily battle of will power 😂 Prayers for you ❤️
@@seedandsparrowhomestead thank you!! You too! I hope you get better ❤️🩹
Such a beautiful garden tour.
Thank you ☺️ 🤍
I had inflammation so bad, I couldn't even dress myself anymore. It was so crippling, and I thought I was going to die. Doctors put me on low dose chemo and other meds, but then I went off that because my hair was falling out, etc . .and took Vitamin D and moringa and I got better. I learned about moringa from Big Family Homestead, they have a lot of videos on it. I'm sorry, I know inflammation is just horrible!
Your cat seems so cuddly!
She LOVES attention 😂
Great garden tour!
Thank you! ☺️🤍
Beautiful flowers
Thank you!
You can add tumeric to them also helps with anti-inflammatory issues.
Normally I would but I was instructed if it’s not on the list then I can’t have it and unfortunately that’s not on the list 😕
@@seedandsparrowhomestead you must be on a very specific diet.
Roses are beautiful! I tell ya, ill never plant elecampaigne again. It wasnt worth it for me for medicine and the huge space it took up and the ugly flowers it gave off. It will eventually fall over and be ugly 🤣 it was not my favorite! Youre correct on the cabbage, cover from day one. They say onions keep away cabbage pests. I havent actually done it yet because the one year I did, the cabbage shaded out the onions 🤣
Thanks for sharing all your beauties and goodies! Prayers for your health. Im on the train with you!
Hey! Thanks friend ☺️ Ah man, I thought the elecampane was a lost cause 😂 I was holding out hope but I guess it’s gonna go! I can use all that space better, thanks for the info! This health train is a tough one, your prayers are much appreciated. Blessings ❤️❤️❤️
I'm still watching, lol. If it gets too hot too fast, the carrots will stall out and get bitter, keep an eye on them.
@@seedandsparrowhomesteadThey say onions keep away cabbage pests. I havent actually done it yet because the one year I did, the cabbage shaded out the onions 🤣
@@seedandsparrowhomesteadI have a quick video coming Thursday for storing lettuce, if you want to harvest them and keep it for up to 3 months of you want some later...
Yep! I’m keeping an eye on the carrots, no woody stems yet or bolting signs! So I planted onions in between all brassicas and around them but yeah, they got shaded and stunted and I still have pests 😂
I live in zone five here in north eastern Ontario and I absolutely have to cover my cabbage plants. I cover them as soon as I put those plants on the ground, otherwise they won’t make it. They are looking pretty splendid right now. I wish I could leave the covers off because they are such gorgeous plants, but I fear the evils of the insect world. 😢
If only the pests weren’t a problem! I’d love to not cover because I too love to look at everything growing but it seems it must be done! Thanks for the confirmation!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead you’re welcome. And I love the flower harvest. I am just getting into flowers, and I’m researching the power of the flower. I am going to the nursery in July to buy roses on sale. Will it be okay to plant roses mid summer?
Yes! Just be mindful not to plant in the heat of the day. I plant in the evening, dig a big hole and fill with some compost and rose fertilizer. Water the rose in super well. It may shock especially if there is any disturbance with the roots but should recover in a few days. I might also advise removing blossoms and buds until it recovers!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead ❤️
What variety of mint is that? The leaves are gigantic 😮
I know it as mountain mint, it grows wild all over our valley ☺️
I wish you would say what the 5 items are. Sounds like I’m having the same issues that you’re having. You struggles may help me
Every body is bio individual so what works for me may not work for you. What I’ve shared is just the tip of the iceberg and I have many other issues to be worked on and this diet is currently addressing the inflammation so I can start to address other things. I’m happy to share the diet. I just want to put it out there that this is what my body needs according to many tests and scans.
The 5 foods are:
Chicken
Chicken broth(no seasoning but salt, just a whole chicken and filtered water)
Brown rice
Cooked carrots
Peaches
Redmond’s Real Salt and Re-lyte
If it’s not on the list then I can’t have it. This is for 4 weeks and then I can add in other foods gradually.
Hope it helps!
The Japanese beetles are eating my roses.
Ugh I despise them! I found the first one yesterday and I thought to myself “and so, the battle begins” 😂🥴
There is purslane by your peanut. It is edible
Ah yes! It grows like a weed here. Completely takes over if I’m not careful but nice to have just in case ☺️
A friend of mine freeze dries her purslane and adds the powder to things.
How do you apply D E? On the ground or sprinkled on the leaves? Just wondering...
I sprinkle on the leaves, if it rains you’ll have to reapply!
What oil do you use for your calendula?
I like jojoba!
