Zinnias are my favorite flower! I grow them every year. Beautiful garden.

Thank you!! I really like your video and the tips. It really helped me understand what is going on with my herbs and garden. Very inspiring!!

I enjoyed the walk through your garden. I love zinnias, too! Do you get powdery mildew on yours? I'm in New England, too, and have noticed some on mine.

How lovely to have so much land to grow things , to walk on , to breathe in the fresh air in open space. Wonderful.

Yes, cows have caul fat too

Thank you! I never would’ve thought there was specific things you can do to keep fungus from killing your plants. I’m going to have to try that with next year’s garden.

Do you have a recipe for Sugar Cream Pie or is that just an Indiana thing?

The things you can is different than the Englishers.canning your potatoes and baked beans and i think there was a. Couple other things also

My uncle always said there was 2 parts of a hog that you couldn't eat, the tail and the squeal

Am novice on UTube. Where do I find the suggested soil products, please?

My mom had a rule at the table that we had to take at least 3 bites of everything served. She often softened the edge of that rule by making a large amount of mashed potatoes (which we loved) with meals where she served things we abhored. She encouraged us to eat each bite with some potatoes. It worked well. I learned to enjoy green vegetables after eating them with potatoes over my early years.

I have sooo many questions about so many things... I don't know where to begin! UGH! One day I'll organize my brain and get a list going! LOL

How to identify these trees?

Does this not grow wild in NH?

Growing up, we would get our lard in 5 gallon tins and we just kept it in our unheTed basemen I was reminded when you were talking about picky eaters and you mixing homemade and store bought ketchup My partner used to be very picky and Brussel sprouts are my favorite and I would say he had to eat 5 halves and he would. The lemon butter I put on them helped.

My husband says I can make gravy everyday and it never taste the same, not that it isnt good, just doesnt taste the same... I dont follow a recipe...

I haven't consumed pork for 22 years, and for good reason.

Oh yes please do more about fresh milled flour podcasts. What recipes do you use?

Michele is thought the fresh milled flour lost part of the nutrition within 48:hours. So i thought it was supposed to be milled and then baked with.

Love your voice, so calming

Flour

Oh one more comment. I too am grinding my own wheat to make flour im so glad to get more information on fresh milled flour

Michelle im so glad to find your KZbin channel. Ive been following your podcast for over a year. Im delighted to find more of you.❤️

Bundles. Love all the information here from PEI Canada. I have been dehydrating tomatoes even tried making pizza sauce. Love learning new things

Ruthann you made me think of making pasta. We had sheets laying on the bed and floor to dry. We made pot pie and wide noodles. But when I say I'm making pot pie. People think I'm making those things that come out of a box. But I'm making a pot of chicken broth. Have it come to a boil add the pot pie noodles, chicken, onions in layers. Stir so pasta doesn't stick. Cook till noodles are cooked. You are really making me hungry. Born and raised in York, Pa till I married and my husband went into the service.

Bundle please! Sometimes doing hard things is challenging - I suppose that’s what makes hard things hard?

BUNDLE

Bundle! Yes, it can be hard to do the hard things! My husband is handicapped so my hard thing is doing homestead stuff alone. And at almost 68 it is sometimes hard😂. But you inspire me!

Bundle. In Indiana.

Especially now in my 70's with many past permanent injuries, there are many things I truly cannot do. When knees just won't cooperate the will just can't overcome them. Since I'm sole care keeper, I can't even consider surgery. Therefore, I trust my Lord and Savior. I did do lots of hard things when younger though. Good tip.

Bundle, please

Bundle! Now turning over the ideas about how to start birch syrup...

I have dehydrated a lot of things over the years, but I am still struggling with RECIPES for using the dehydrated veggies etc. I bought a cookbook for said foods, and tried the potatoes au gratin etc. The recipes were less than palatable 😢

My change was a lot of yrs ago. My husband used to bread and fry everything. Very little now is breaded, and the oil is a bit healthier when used, and switched from margarine to butter. When we finally find our forever home, I'll be gardening and trying to find farmers to get raw milk and sides of grass fed, beef and pork. 😊❤

DEHYDRATE ;-)

I'm in Iowa. We had 1 child who was gluten sensitive so i had to revamp my cooking habits pretty early on...which was good but hard then. I learned to can things as a very young mama and started gardening pretty early in, too. Grateful to have been in places i could do those things and for my mom who had a garden so I was at least interested to try! From there I got chickens, then started baking bread...its fun to look back because soemtimes I feel like Im not doing enough! I've done a lot! And now I'm learning how to grow my own herbs and make my own herbal tea blends. Always trying to find ways to clean up our diet even now when our kids are all grown! 😊 I'd love having a homestead, a cow or two, etc...but know that won't happen for me but enjoy doing what I can! Oh! I tapped our trees in our yard one year, too! That was fun! Black walnut syrup is Ah-mazing!!

Thanks for NOT sharing the ticks! 😂 And thank you for all the info you do share that is so helpful. I enjoy following you and learning things. ❤
