Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us-- ur so inspiring-- in both your personal and professional lives. Love all your content both here and on jami ray vintage. ☺☺
I could watch you guys all day!! Love all you do from your painting, gardens, fruit, veggies, freeze drying, canning and seeing Buttercup!! I love your lifestyle!! God bless your Family!❤❤
Zeb you guy’s really amaze me. I really mean it when I say you both are the busiest channel on RUclips with the most decent content thank you for that as someone who don’t watch “tv” this is my entertainment and I totally enjoy it ☺️🙌🥳
The garden looks great! A mixture of milk and water sprayed on those squash leaves will get rid of the mildew. Layer that hay with your cow manure in your garden and you’ll have amazing garden dirt next spring. The Habitat For Humanity Restore store might be a good place to find windows. There’s several stores in Utah. 😊
I thoroughly enjoy your video's! Your energy is awesome! Thank You for sharing your life with us. I know I enjoy it & I am learning still along the way! Keep up the great work kids!
So fun to see you canning and gardening. I miss my big gardens. I do have a few tomatoes, peppers potatoes, cucumbers and green onions. It’s mostly our salsa garden.
I love all the family scenes ❤ you probably know, but I was told to try (so I did), to pull the entire tomato plant and tie twine/rope around the roots and hang them upside down to get the tomatoes to ripen when the frost danger comes so you don’t lose them! We have a really short season here in Western Washington, it worked! Cantaloupe have a soft belly button when ripe 😊
We planted pear and apple trees 25 years ago, when we had our house built, and never got more than a couple pieces of edible fruit from them. This year, for some reason, we had one pear, and one apple tree, that was LOADED with fruit, and we were able to get over a bushel of fruit from each tree. We had to leave a lot of fruit on the trees, and most of the apples we got, we're picked up from the ground and from a branch that broke, in a bad wind storm, because it had so much fruit on it. I have made two different recipes of pear chutney, pear scrap jelly, dehydrated pear slices, fruit leather, and I have 2 big bowls of pears to process, and most of the apples, which were not quite ripe, so, thankfully, I have time to wait on the apples! My favorite thing to can is jams and jellies. For jellies, I love that you can take what most people would throw away, the peels and cores, and cover them with water and let them cook, to release the juice that is in them. Wit 6 grandkids, under 10 years old, jams and jellies are a valued item;;especially when it's made with organic fruit and low sugar pectin!
@@jamiandzeb seeing you just can what you have at the time, made me re-think my idea that one had to can a years worth of each thing, when you decided to can. Especially now that it's just my husband and me at home, I don't can so much for us, but to take when we visit our grown kids and their family. If I know they like something, I try to make it for them, as a gift, since we only see them a couple times a year. My son love spicy foods, so I made peach jalapeno jam and cranberry jalapeno jam, to eat with cream cheese, or any soft cheese, on crackers. I ended up loving it myself, and eat it while watching TV, late night with my husband.
What memories you bring back. My mom would make fig preserves, watermelon rhine preserves, bread and butter pickles, wild grape jelly, strawberry preserves and apricot jelly. My health isn’t good enough for me to do all that anymore. Good for you showing viewers how to do it all.👍😃💕
These videos always lift my spirits ❤ I bet you're kinda going to be happy after it gets out of gardening season.. you guys have had sooo much to do! It's incredible how you make use of all that!🌿🥒🍅🍏🥕 Today I'll try your fried cheesy stuff lol..sure looks yummy😋 Thanks for that easy idea.. even I can manage that one😂
Zeb, you need to freeze dry yourcherry tomatoes, I cut in half, toss with minced basil, garlic, salt and a splash of balsamic vinegar and freeze dry, they make the best snacks. You can add grated Parmesan too.
Egg plants are beautiful plants! Once they start producing holy moly. I canned so much garden pasta sauce with peppers, egg plant, zucchini, yellow squash & all the herbs & tomatoes we are set tell next harvest. Such a treat when we are buried in snow. I'm excited to see how your fig tree over winters. God Bless ya all!
@@jamiandzeb I was wondering if I could cut pool noodles down the middle & use them on the trunk of a little weeping cherry tree I planted a couple of months ago to help insulate it...?? 🤷♀
Those mammoth sunflowers reminded me that every part of them is edible from leaves, seeds, bulky head under seeds and petals, inner stem that becomes flower, and, tho not edible the dried stem is very useful. You probably already know all of this!
@@jamiandzeb .... petals on salad; seeds, well you know that snack; bulbous head gets peeled, drizzled w olive oil, garlic, S&P then grilled (kinda tastes like artichoke hearts). The stem.... slice it in two length wise and scape out the inner pulp, spread out to dry and later grind into flout. The stalks are probably too fibrous to eat. but who knows maybe soup. Stalks make a great tepee structure to drape w mesh to protect or provide a climbing structure for climbers. Don't forget the roots; peel, w the back of a spoon, simmer till tender and enjoy.
I lovI e seeing Jack Cody and Rex, just so much cuteness...that tomato soup looked so delicious! I am going to try the fried cheese...This was such a good video...keep them coming...how long does the fig jam stay good in the fridge?
Garden looks amazing but some of those really full plants looks like a snake priority area hahahhaa would be scared to death to stick my hands in there for fear one is hiding in there hahahaha
Several videos have popped up this week showing people brushing oil or butter on their sunflower heads, adding salt and pepper, and roasting/grilling them. They say it tastes sort of like grilled corn. Have you tried that?
Love Buttercup big time kisses 💋 💋💋💋🇦🇺. Those yoghurt never seen them at all and I live near Sydney NSW Aussie... check which state they are from... With your pears two stop them from browning water and lemon juice in a bowl place pear slices in water. With cucumbers 🥒 when wife makes pickling water on stove here we make hot white vinegar,water,pepper corns,Chillies,pickling spices boil then in the mixture then put them in old jam jars with metal lids cleaned of course..cool then cupboard for storage...I have never cooked then on the stove they stay fresh and yummy on burgers, cheese plater etc...Zero cooking ever.. The hay put it on your bed with Garlic plants under it lives until next time spring...I saw people in Alaska doing it this way...but it must be thick...try potatoes 🥔...plus it might brake down for new season... Cucumbers with Chillies,capsicum and cherry tomatoes in a bottle pickle them...get your kids involved in your harvest so they know want a carrot...make a suggestion box for things to make with your vegs kids may know... Anyway another from me love the cottage could U show use your whole ppty in the city... ❤❤❤😂❤❤❤

Watching these little bits of your life can help me smile when I am feeling down. The value in that cannot be counted😂😂😂

That fig tree makes me nervous. I’ve loved it so much this summer but I’ve got to figure out how to wrap it up for the winter.
@@jamiandzeb I was wondering if I could cut pool noodles down the middle & use them on the trunk of a little weeping cherry tree I planted a couple of months ago to help insulate it...?? 🤷♀
It has been so hot and dry the grass all burns up. We have to hay early too.
Harvest Tip on Carrots....Push Down First & then Pull👍🏼
The views on the top of your new land is amazing. So beautiful and what a blessing to share the fun time as a family.
I need some of your sunflower seeds!!
I've seen where people grill the sunflowers. I guess they are good. You have so many.
I’ve never heard of that. Gonna have to look up some recipes
Those mammoth sunflowers reminded me that every part of them is edible from leaves, seeds, bulky head under seeds and petals, inner stem that becomes flower, and, tho not edible the dried stem is very useful. You probably already know all of this!
Not all! ❤️❤️

Hard to say. It’s already gone lol.
Garden looks amazing but some of those really full plants looks like a snake priority area hahahhaa would be scared to death to stick my hands in there for fear one is hiding in there hahahaha
So far it’s been snake free 🤞🤞
@@jamiandzeb that’s good !!!
@@jamiandzebYou guys don’t have many poisonous snakes, do you?
Love your garden. What about starting a compost pile with the poop?
I would but since we’re in town the neighbors don’t love the smell so I dispose of most of it
Does Harrington watch your videos ….would feel like at home with you on your adventures 😄
I don’t think so lol. He finally got a running car so we see him a lot more.
I am an Aussie, and have to say I have never seen those frozen yogurt treats
Wouldn’t it be funny if they just export them all the way to the US?
Zeb wait on the carrots they need some cold to get sweet.
Great tip! Thanks

I haven’t but we sure have sunflowers
Do you guys do bread and butter pickles? I love all pickles. ❤
We haven’t made those yet. My mom and sister make them a lot.
Love Buttercup big time kisses 💋 💋💋💋🇦🇺.

❤❤❤😂❤❤❤
Thanks for all the tips! ❤️😊
I’ve never seen those type of frozen yoghurts in our shops before. Which store did you get them from?
Costco
@@jamiandzebI haven’t been to Costco in a while. I’ll have to go back. I love Costco. I’ll let you know my findings 😄
How long until buttercup is due?
I’m guessing in the next 2-3 weeks. Based on bovine gestation she is due end of sept
😊👍👋
What do you feed your chickens?
All the things from weeds to table scraps to garden veggies and layer pellets.
Did freeze drying the cucumbers work?
It does. They don’t come back crisp once hydrated though
@@jamiandzeb but you think for Tzatziki sauce it would work? I always have way to many cucumbers 🤪
❤❤❤😘
How many had to make grilled cheese and tomato soup?!! Me!
It’s a favorite combo around here!
Spray with vinegar - you can get 15% pure - to kill bugs
What if you planted some alfalfa for buttercup in that area ?
We could but I’m gonna just try grass and rotate her in and out once she eats it down.
The fungus is powdery mildew. I just leave it. 😊
I’m just leaving it too. If it was July I might try to fix it but we’re a week into September so I’m not gonna sweat it.
