Your videos always calm me, yet also inspire me to move and harvest and learn. Very much like Jess does. I appreciate you! And I also called my mom's mom Gramma. Spelled just like that. I made my heart smile.
I used to have a horn from a steer that I used for a dibbler in the garden. Those chestnuts made my mouth water! Almost as cruel as seeing my family in Michigan post pictures in May of their Morel mushroom haul. I never think of using a hatchet when I go out to "prune" anything! Thanks for another lovely video.
Beautiful as always. Gotta say tho - I HAD to jump over to google so I could know more about that pan with holes in the bottom. I am pretty solid and experienced in the kitchen but that was new to me. Put one on my Xmas wish list. 😀❤
Hey Will I was watching the Texas Rangers last night on their way to the World Series. As I was watching their pitcher Nathan Eovaldi being interviewed it occurred to me that he looks like he could be your brother. I think he's a handsome guy and I hope you take that as a compliment. You're both great looking men! 😊
I like to add mushroom tea to my coffee, it tastes great! And as y'all know, SO very good for our health! I used to add mushroom tinctures to my coffee. Except, I'm one of those weirdo's who's never really been a big fan of the taste of alcohol... I'm not a teetotaler, but I just don't especially like it for breakfast! Consuming a bunch of alcohol, from the tinctures added to my coffee every morning, was really starting to bug me! Admittedly, I do like to add quite a bit of mushroom tincture to my coffee! And from at least 3 different mushrooms too. I like to switch up which ones I add every so often too. Anyway, instead of making mushroom tinctures with glycerine, I've been making 2 different extracts. One with water like y'all are doing. Except I use my sous vide, and steep the mushrooms in the water for 24 hours, just so I can get a really strong tea. And then I do a 2nd extract, again for 24 hours, using a can of coconut cream as the base. That way, with 2 extracts, I'm getting both sides, the water soluble, and the fat soluble, of the mushroom medicine. Then I freeze them (separately) in tiny half ounce cubes. Freezing it makes it super easy to add to my coffee every morning. And no more alcohol for breakfast! 🍸🥓🍳 The sous vide also makes the whole process super easy too! Just set the temperature & walk away
@HoneybeeHollowGardens Ohhhh, that might be fun! I must admit, I have kicked the idea around a bit. Altho... The editing part holds me back! Yep, for me, that part would definitely be the down side. Unless... Unless maybe I could get away with having a channel kinda like yours? Where the style of filming doesn't require a lot of editing... I do like the nice relaxed style of your channel. You've found a very nice flow here. Feels like - Life Is Good.
Today Graham Hancock on Joe Rogan was talking about the terra preta soil in the Amazon basin. He said that one of the ways they made the soil fertile was by purposely adding pieces of pottery to it. That is so interesting and cool and made me think of your love for building soil.
Lol I love both of those men. Magicians of the Gods will blow your mind. David the Good has done some videos on Terra Preta. Jack Spirko on The Survival Podcast has content on it as well
Everything yall did in the kitchen today looked amazing! What pattern is that china? Loved it! Sun dried mushrooms also? Is that what I spied? Also, that lemon bush? Explain, silent gardener!
That is sun-dried mushrooms, and not sure on the china says 'Royal Doulton - Plymouth' on the bottom. We got the set from a thrift store. And yes its a wild lemon, Poncirus trifoliata
Just the other day I too was thinking about how to use some citrus I have, & I can not eat. Making cleaner is a great idea! I ended up wondering about composting the fruit in a separate pile to end up with a very acid mix to add to my soil. And I would be composting quite a lot of fruit, not just 2 or 3. This way maybe I could easily grow blueberries? I live in limestone rock country, both the soil & water is alkaline, making it impossible to grow acid loving plants without using bagged acidic soil, and then still having to add some kind of acidifier to the water. Even then, it's a constant battle keeping things like blueberries happy. They just always end up looking thin & anemic! I've never composted anything with this goal in mind. Plus, I read that citrus takes extra long to compost. So with using a whole harvest of fruits to compost, I'm pretty sure I'm looking at a 3 or 4 year experiment! And that's before ever growing the plants! Would it be worth the time to have to wait to grow blueberries? It's I don't know just how acidic the compost would end up being, or if it would even be acidic enough to be worth the time it would take to find out! Maybe it would end up being TOO acidic and kill the blueberries! (Probably not...) Of coarse, I suppose I could thin it out the heavily acidic compost? Can you do that, thin it out, or dilute it? Does acidic soil even work that way? I'm just assuming I could mix my own alkaline soil with a very acidic compost to hopefully balance it for the blueberry's liking?! Or would it just stay as pockets of high & low levels of acidity? I really have zero experience with naturally acidic soil ! Does anybody out there have any experience with this?
@HoneybeeHollowGardens That's so nice to have a slightly lower PH. I'm SURE that's why your state is so famous for farming! THAT and actually having nice deep soil too! The ph thing - I'll just have to figure it out! We'll see what happens!!
That Hamburg Parsley almost looks like a celeriac to me - I wonder if they are closely related. Here in Denmark, we can often buy parsley roots alongside other root vegetables like turnips, parsnips, celeriac, and carrots - so I wonder if this species is the one with get in stores. The root on the plant you moved was huge, though - usually our parsley roots are closer to carrot size - hence why I'm thinking celeriac: it was more the size of those!
I just found your channel but am enjoying your content so far! We live outside of Rock Hill, SC and just bought 7 acres last year. The land has open fields and a wooded area. I want to introduce more native trees and plants to our property that we can enjoy and also eat from. What could we do/plant this time a year to get started for next season or a few seasons from now?
If you don’t mow a field native trees will just pop up. No need to plant if you don’t want to spend the time or money. Rock Hill is more upstate so I’m not as familiar with its pioneer native species. I’m in the piedmont and the only native edible food trees (that I enjoy eating) are persimmon, hickory & Hawthorne. Blackberries will likely pop up naturally & maybe mulberries. Papaws near water sources Chestnuts, mulberries, peaches, pears, plums & apples (cedar rust resistant varieties) are what I’m going to focus on planting. PS - NC Noodle Bar in Rock Hill is delicious
I always love to see you foraging for mushrooms. We foraged for Bear's Tooth Mushrooms recently and had a feast. Do you find Hericium americanum (Bear's Tooth Mushroom) as far south as where you live?
Will I absolutely love your videos I am now going out and looking for mushrooms I took pictures of a bunch but didn’t pick any if I posted the pictures could you identify them? I am in Canada you have inspired me to forage You are a very knowledgeable person …. Karen from Nova Scotia Canada 😊

The old growth forest is so peaceful.
It is.
Peaceful. Tranquil. Calmness. I needed this today. Thanks for another lovely video. ❤
Such a beautiful home!
Thank you
Must have windows open. I hear the critters. Nice channel.
Very nice... thanks Wil 🎃👍
Lovely video as always. Take care
I enjoyed this video very much.
Thank you
I never knew that’s how chestnuts roast on an open fire. Interesting!
Did em' in the wood stove the other night!
LOVE seein' those mushrooms soaking up the vitamin D !!!
Gill side up! I didn't know that till recently
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens
Nature is SO awesome, isn't it!!!
Ish I could find mushrooms like you do. I'm disabled and can't go forage like that lol. Your a very hard worker. Your wife is a lucky woman 😉
Oh and a chubby monarch butterfly caterpillar on the parsley :)
He's still on there!
I used to have a horn from a steer that I used for a dibbler in the garden. Those chestnuts made my mouth water! Almost as cruel as seeing my family in Michigan post pictures in May of their Morel mushroom haul. I never think of using a hatchet when I go out to "prune" anything! Thanks for another lovely video.
I always use a random stick lolz. Chestnuts are delicious though I hope to have hundreds of trees one day
Man it seems cool in your autumn time. Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Love Kill Tony 😂! Beautiful mushrooms and video!
Ha! I was wondering if anyone was gonna pick that up 😂
What a beautiful life. Also, those are some lucky dogs to live in such a great playground.
How amazing y'all are!!! And, I'm super curious about the music in the background while stringing beans XOXOXO Thank you for sharing !!!
It’s called Nemos Dreamscapes on YT. We listen to it ALL THE TIME
Beautiful as always. Gotta say tho - I HAD to jump over to google so I could know more about that pan with holes in the bottom. I am pretty solid and experienced in the kitchen but that was new to me. Put one on my Xmas wish list. 😀❤
It's a useful pan to have even if just for that. Need those burn marks for the flavor

Chestnuts roasting on an “open fire” I've never seen that done before. Why was there no pop, pop, pop? Beautiful video.
It doesn’t pop that much
Thanks for sharing! I am learning new things from your channel. My husband would love your Christmas themed soft pants!
If I'm in the house I gotta have pajamas on

@@HoneybeeHollowGardens Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I’ll look into those options.
I always love to see you foraging for mushrooms. We foraged for Bear's Tooth Mushrooms recently and had a feast. Do you find Hericium americanum (Bear's Tooth Mushroom) as far south as where you live?
I’ve found that or either the coral tooth, once before. Didn’t identify exactly the species but it was delicious
Will I absolutely love your videos I am now going out and looking for mushrooms I took pictures of a bunch but didn’t pick any if I posted the pictures could you identify them? I am in Canada you have inspired me to forage
You are a very knowledgeable person …. Karen from Nova Scotia Canada 😊
Did you send them to my Instagram?
@@HoneybeeHollowGardens no but I can what is your instagram name
God I am stupid my account is private in order for me to post I have to make it public too many scammers out there
❤❤❤👍👍🎃🎃🎃🧡❣
Hi! What kind of pan is that with the holes on the bottom?
amzn.to/3FpJtzo
This one seems similar to the one I use. Type in 'chestnut roasting pan' and you should be able to find one
I use a similar pan for roasting peppers. I think mine was supposed to be used on the barbique.
Thank you!
