Hi Whitney, I use a little salt when cooking the cabbage and also a little in with the black eyed peas. Once they are done, I had a bit of pepper and butter, and then if anyone else wants more salt, they can add it to taste. The corned beef is pre-seasoned and has a lot of flavor, so really doesn't need anything else. Thanks for watching. Kim

Thanks for watching! Technically, as long as they stay properly sealed, canned items should remain safe to use and retain their nutritional quality for at least 18 months. Jars should be cleaned of any debris and the rings removed. Storing with the rings on can create a "false seal" situation where it looks like it's sealed but it's not and is not safe to eat. Practically, most people use canned items well past that timeframe. My oldest canned beans are about 3 months old, but I'm still using other items (tomatoes, jams, fruits) that I canned back in 2022. With regards to pressure canning, it's because boil bath canning doesn't get hot enough to kill the botulism in low acid foods. Most fruit is acidic enough so that you can just boil bath can them (212 degree F). Low acid foods need to be brought to a higher temperature (240 degrees F), which can only be achieved through pressure canning. Either way, it's highly recommended to follow an approved recipe, especially if you are new to canning, because they have been tested for long-term safety. From Google: Pressure canning is necessary because it's the only safe way to preserve low-acid foods like most vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood, as the high temperatures generated by pressurized steam are required to kill harmful bacteria, particularly Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism if not properly destroyed; this bacteria cannot be killed at the temperatures reached in a standard boiling water bath canner. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have other canning questions. :) It's well worth it to can your own food. Kim

Hi! I just watched this and your video on filling raised garden beds and it’s been so helpful! I’m building my beds for the first time ever so they’re ready to go come spring. Can you talk about irrigation? I see tubing in peoples’ beds but have no idea what I’m doing.
@BackyardKYHomestead
@BackyardKYHomestead Ай бұрын
Wonderful! It's so exciting to add a new raised bed and think about all the possibilities for next season. Congratulations on taking that step! If you've not filled your beds yet, it can be very beneficial and less expensive to add yard debris on the bottom. I set mine up with a layer of cardboard (to suppress weeds), then tree limbs, leaves, non-diseased garden debris, etc. before I added soil. If your beds are tall enough, you can even put logs on the bottom. It does break down over time, so you will see a drop in the soil level as time passes. As long as you have at least 8" of good soil, you're golden. :) I do have a drip irrigation video planned for early next year. Unless you are in a very warm area, it's too cold to run drip right now and probably not the best time to set it up. It's pretty easy to set up, you just need to make sure you get the right parts and that they are made to work together. Last year, I got supply line that was about .10" smaller than I needed, and it was a a nightmare. I abandoned the project until I realized what the problem was. Happy gardening! Kim

My sister also makes relish. She uses a cheesecloth along with a strainer when draining the excess water off the mixture. After the water is drained out she pulls the edges of the cheesecloth together around the mixture and lifts it up forming a ball then using her hands she squeezes that ball to get as much water out as possible. The added perk is that less of the mixture is lost down the drain.

How do you know when to pick a green or cannelini bean? Not sure if the smaller ones will taste good?First time bean grower
@BackyardKYHomestead
@BackyardKYHomestead 2 ай бұрын
For green beans, it will depend partially on the type. Mostly you're looking for a bean that's around 3" long. You want to get them before the white beans inside start getting super big. For the last fall harvest, I went ahead and pulled all of them. Even the tiny ones are fine for eating. During the main season, you leave them on the plant a bit longer to increase the yield, but they are edible at any point. For drying beans like cannellini, you generally wait until the bean pod itself has dried out on the plant - though many are edible (like green beans) earlier in their development. With drying beans, you get one harvest per planting (except for cow pea varieties - purple hull or black eyed). I grew drying beans for the first time this year. It was a lot of fun to see all the different bean types. I had issues with some pods not pollinating, I think, but overall, it worked well. Economically, it's cheaper to buy a bulk bag at Costco or Sam's (they take a lot of space in the garden for what you get), but if you're wanting organic beans, it's a great thing to grow. I plan to do so again next year and have added a few new varieties to try. :)

Turns out they LOVE my amended soil in containers, so I thought I'd eat them, the green and yellows but the cannellini clearly aren't going to get to dry husk stage. I'll pull everything after the first real frost and turn the plants and leaves into the soil for green compost. I grow for the sheer joy of it, and also I love eating fresh straight from the sun, you know? Thanks again. I enjoy your videos on just about any topic!

You do need to be careful on what type of sweet potato variety you get. According to online resources, bush-style sweet potatoes (like Vardaman or Bush Porto Rico) should work in large containers. You'll get vines, but the potatoes stay more central to the plant. The other type of sweet potatoes grow all over the place, from what I hear, and you may be hunting them down for years. 😂

I’m just about to put in my indoor garden… I have a shelf on my bakers rack I use I’m using dishwashing tubs from the dollar tree I have marbles between each set of two with holes in the top for drainage this year I’m doing a window box mix spring lettuce I did that last year and was able to harvest enough green leafy vegetables that I could have a salad every other day for about 65 days. It was a really good early blend of cut and come again … yellow and red tiny Tim tomatoes, which I can do one of each in those dishwasher tubs and yes, you are right. They are absolutely delicious. Green onions, but I’m actually just re-growing the bottoms because I work in a steakhouse and they don’t use the bottom part. I need a recipe for green onions, I could literally have hundreds of them growing in a month. I find putting those about a bunch to one 16 ounce Dixie cup works really really well but on that size you have to make sure you keep the watering up. I also intend upon planting some radish which is a 30 day crop and this year I am considering doing some of the pack choy or even densely planting bok choy as I have room on that shelf for three of the tubs…. I am so glad I found this video. I’ve done this for a few years. Let’s be honest the cost of fresh fruits and veg is through the roots and there’s nothing quite like home grown I didn’t know about the robin tomatoes. I’m gonna have to give those a look if you haven’t checked into the yellow tiny Tim I highly suggest it to me. They are very reminiscent of the mini pear yellow tomatoes from summer … give the tiny Timms a little bit of a chance I produced bumper crop last year indoors. I did find that they are about a 60 day to bloom crop and it seemed once I added some nutrients about day 30 they just took off. Don’t forget to tickle the blossoms so that they self pollinate. I am going to be a new subscriber.
