You're a busy little bee! I love how happy/enthusiastic you are about bumblebees, flowers, eggs, nice evenings. I feel like you are my kindred soul. Absolute Happiness in all the little things. ❤
New to your videos as of this morning. So enjoy your garden. Cucumbers are so full of vitamins. I heard an ad that said instead of reaching for a candy bar reach for sliced cucumbers. I soak mine in Italian dressing and we pick at it when it's hot outside and just need a little pick me up. Just getting ready to peal one and soak it.
We're up in Canada and our growing season is super short but onions and carrots grow so well I've never had an issue with them, just plant and water and you get an amazing bumper crop. So its a trade-off cause we cant grow winter crops cause there's 2 feet of snow and its -30. And on average we only get about 120-130 frost free days so there's only ever time for 1 crop a year.
Omg I hate squash bugs its a everyother day chore to check every leaf. But it's satisfying when you aren't surprised with those baby bugs that are so gross.
I just found your channel a few days ago and I'm so glad I did! I love your videos and seeing how you preserve different foods. I would love to have a freeze dryer but will have to be content with a dehydrator for a while.
Thanks for watching!! I totally understand that! It’s a investment for sure! I’ve wanted one for about 4 years now! I almost wish I would have invested in a freeze dryer over all my canning stuff at first! Freeze drying has turned into a favorite fast! My $40 dehydrator has definitely got me through the years though and still being used lol
These a re a hybrid so theres a chance it wouldnt produce the same. With that being said I still have plenty of seeds left, and I got colllect some throughout the season on other things. This years cantaloupe is seed I saved from last year! I like to save flower seeds since they are some of the easiest!
@@itsbreellis O I see, I'm new to the seed saving game, whats your thoughts on saving seed year after year for your heirloom varieties to slowly evolve or adapt to your environment and growing methods.
I Love this! We did something similar where we live out. This video actually gave us inspiration and hope that we can still become successful, thanks so much for this video.
Love your enthusiasm, your garden and of course the hard work that gets you there! I'm 72 young and have been gardening since my late 20's. That being said every year is a new journey with awesome successes and some Oh No's! What I love is that it is a never ending education with many, many AHAH moments :) I only use my basil fresh to make amazing pesto. What is the dryer you use on the basil as I have seen that you can also freeze it? I was also curious as to where you are located as I'm in beautiful New Hampshire...zone 4/5. I ask because I haven't done successive plantings except the indestructible radish and occasional lettuce. Thank you again for making my day and keeping the love of gardening alive.
Thanks for watching! Im in Kansas so we have a bit longer of a growing season here. Gardening is a NEVER ENDING journey! Always keeping you on your toes lol
I loved this video. I just found your channel and I found it very informative. I’m very new to gardening and looking to expand my garden this fall so learning about preserving food is something I’ve been researching. Thanks for sharing your tips. Got a new subscriber 😊
Love your content! How you preserve and succession planting is great info. I hear that eating fresh okra can have a slimy feel. When you tasted the freeze dried okra, did it have that slimy feel when you chewed it? Also, love to juice the cucumbers and mix the juice with lemonade. Great tasting and refreshing summer drink over ice. You have a beautiful cat!
Thank you! And I love that idea for the cucumbers! I’ll have to give that a try! And the okra wasn’t slimy at all! That’s why I think I actually liked it! It was kinda styrofoam like. That’s the best why I can describe it. Kinda the same texture as lucky charm marshmallows but not lol
Okra gives a slimy feel when introduced with water as mucilaginous foods contain a soluble fiber that dissolves in water, giving it the slimy feel. I have actually come to enjoy it and not be grossed out by it, especially when pickling.
Hi, Thank you for this video. So awesome to see! I notice you’re beautiful fur-pet and love to know what kind of fur-baby is “you called her” sister? Have a great day today.
Great video. I’m curious, is your freeze dryer in the basement? How would say the humidity level is where the freeze dryer is located? I’m only on my 3rd batch ever and they have all taken so long!!!!!!! I had an inadequate vacuum error that I seem to fix by turning on the dehumidifier, which I have kept going while I’m using the freeze dryer. I cannot imagine anything ever taking only 14 hours. I’m trying to decide if we need to move it back up to the main floor.
I have a freeze dryer and veggies and herbs are amazing! Just wanted to voice you a little tip, make sure you vacuum seal those jars with all your goods. Each time you open a jar you need to revvacuum seal to remove the air. The moisture from that small moment of exposure can spoil them over time. I mention this because it is SO much work and I learned the hard way when I first made sweet potato baby food 😬
Just discovered your channel. Would love to see what you're doing for pest management. My garden got obliterated by caterpillars and is just now recovering
New subbie from Alberta, Canada. No need to peel such beautiful young carrots. Do you have to blanch them before freeze drying?🥕 Don’t you give your carrot tops, etc to your chickens?

Good morning 🌄🌞🙌🏾👍🏾🤟🏾💪🏾👉🏾 🦻🏾🦻🏾🆒😎☮️👋🏾👋🏾🌹🆗🔜📲 how you doing your work and planning for yourself exactly think about the best sauces, recipes with many more difference between the straws and jars for veggies?

You can freeze dry eggs if you beat them up like scrambled eggs. Then they can be used in baking and used has scrambled eggs. If you have a lot of eggs to deal with.
I don’t have a harvest like you do in my zone 5B here in Wisconsin, today I found out that I have cucumbers coming and I have tomatoes still on the plants and some turning red on my kitchen counter so thank you for all the information on canning and freez drying because I will be doing that later this harvest is not going well just wanted to see if I could grow something
There is something so relaxing about watching you go about your care for your garden and harvest. So happy I came across your channel. I am waiting to move out to my future homestead currently and feel like I'm learning so much from just a few videos already!
Hello there, perfect timming i just finished your old video. 😂 i hear ya, i got carried away with cucumbers and im getting sick of them. I fermented them we don't like pickles 😊. I made salad every day, im eating them of vine, i drink cucumber infused water my dog is eating them too and still have so much every day. Aghh... i am thinking about cucumber mask to cool off .😅 thank you for your video. Love your passion for homesteading ❤
Canning carrots is fun and relatively easy. If you do, I personally recommend skipping the salt, or else you get super salty carrots. I have a huge trial batch that's probably only good for soup, lol.
It’s where the seed has a clay casing around it to make planting a lot easier. Carrots have super small seeds and it tends to be harder to space them so a pelleted seed can make that a lot easier!
Silver slicers (and salt and pepper, which is its pickling version) seem to give me a longer processing window. They taste better, for much longer than most other heirlooms I’ve grown. Plus they are the best fresh I have ever had!
Bre - I love watching your videos! You are so cute and I wish I started gardening when I was young and single like you. You are so knowledgeable and I appreciate everything you pass on to all of us newbies! This is my fourth year gardening and I absolutely love it ❤❤❤

Thank you! & good question! lol I typically give them most my "bad" bugs but ive found it easier to get rid of squash bugs this way. I guess I could always use a jar with a lid lol
You are such a beautiful soul. I enjoy your videos. Your voice is very sweet and calm...Even your cat is beautiful lol. Thank you for another very nice and informative video.
I enjoyed watching this video so much, it is like food for the soul. May I just say that your husband is an incredibly lucky man. Make dinner for him all but 18 nights a year, seem like a great cook and I know you are because once you start handling food in such a way it becomes second nature, you grow all your own fresh produce and eggs, and you have such a sweet and soothing personality. I’m sure you are just as lucky and have chosen a fine mate, but anyone would be blessed to have you as a wife. This is all I ever want in my life, and to raise my children to do and enjoy the same. Looking forward to when I can move back onto a homestead and do the same. Thank you for your content.
I always wanted to start grow my own vegetables and fruits and want to share those with my family. At present I don’t have time and financial support! But when I settle and I’m gonna start mini farm of vegetables and poultry ❤
Your husband is a very lucky man, your farming/gardening knowledge, your cooking skills , your intelligence overall. Not to mention your stunning, every mans dream! Keep the content coming!

LMAO that you have your strawberries under lock and key. Damn animals. What a great set up! So smart.
Thank you! everyone goes after the berries, didn't get any for 2 years and this year im getting actual harvest
the garden plus kitchen mix is so cool to see, awesome job with everything
Excited for your chickens to eat those carrot greens! My girls love them
backing soda on the plants will stop the bugs
I would actually feel comfortable eating any food you prepare. I love and appreciate your cleaning process.

you can use the carrot greens like parsley
Vegetable variety harvesting charming,thanks elegant Ellis.bangladesh💟🤝💋💘🫂👨👩👧👦
Really wish these videos were timestamped! I would watch more of them I'd they were. 😮
You can lightly dust some of the veggies that you want use has snacks with different spices and salt
???? Dont know if it would work.
I’ll have to give that a try and see!
Coucou
Magnifique bravo 👍
A bientôt
Nice carrots! Love you strawberry bed 😍
Do you collect your own seeds, you could let your cucumbers ripen and collect seed for next year.

I Love this! We did something similar where we live out. This video actually gave us inspiration and hope that we can still become successful, thanks so much for this video.
Thanks for watching! You got it!
I think paper mache with a translucent paper (trace paper, etc) would work for the lamp!
I have a small garden not even as big as yours I used to have a bigger garden but I want to add more beds my beans didn't do great this year

Wouldn’t a vacuum sealer work better than O2 absorbers would
Not positive but its recommended to use a oxygen absorber. My plan is to get a foodsaver so I can vacuum seal the jars once I open and close

New subbie from Alberta, Canada. No need to peel such beautiful young carrots. Do you have to blanch them before freeze drying?🥕 Don’t you give your carrot tops, etc to your chickens?
Everything I read states to, but I could see it going either way. I typically blanch if I freeze so I went ahead and did it!

Why did the carrots need to be blanched before freeze drying?
Is getting a freeze drier worth it? Ive seen most of them go from 1000-4000$, but the powders it creates look amazing :0 freeze dried fruit too
Where did you purchase the seeds?
Where did you buy your dry freezer?
the link is in the description
In a non creepy way where do you live like climate wise/ state in the US I assume
I dehydrate and powder my carrot greens to add to my green powder....
It would be so fun to julienne the carrots and make homemade veggie straws! I bet they’d be really good! You could do beets and sweet potatoes too???
I want to do it!! I bet all 3 would be great!
That sounds great!
You can freeze dry eggs if you beat them up like scrambled eggs. Then they can be used in baking and used has scrambled eggs. If you have a lot of eggs to deal with.
Yes I’ve done that and it’s AMAZING!
Your garden is absolutely stunning! Loved this video! xx

I saw someone else who put the tomatoes skin through the freeze dryer after making sauce then used this for tomato powder as well

I'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation!
I would like a tour of your chicken coop. Did you purchase or build it?
Thank you. What an awesome harvest 👌
Side Q what mic 🎤 are you using and where are you hiding it. Your audio is amazing 🙌
Thank you! Its the dji wireless mic! Obsessed with them! They have a magnet so you can clip it anywhere. I typically hide it in my shirt or pocket
@@itsbreellis thanks Bre. Very clever 😍 I’m trying to find different ways to hide our 🤭👌
Your carrots did come out so beautifully! Mine were a little suspect this year lol.
Hi Bre, try to freeze your herbs with the stems, it's a breeze to separate them once frozen.
Ill give that a try! Thanks for the tip!
