Hamburger meat, chicken, pork meat and cranberries, etc. are all toxic if not prepared properly..

I have eaten Polk Salat leaves ever since I can remember.. it has always made my family feel better after we ate it. We usually harvest it in the spring before the shoot or stalk turns red, before they bloom and make berries. I have never talked to anyone who knows how to prepare Polk that say it made them sick or feel bad, only that it was delicious. Wash them.. bring them to a rolling boil for 2-3 minutes. Pour that water off and repeat that 2 more times.. Then fry bacon.. scramble eggs in the bacon grease.. crumble the bacon. Then add your Polk salad to the bacon, scrambled eggs, and mix it altogether in the same skillet that you cooked the bacon and eggs in. Sometimes, we grate cheese on it. It is a fine breakfast!

Living on rural farms in eastern Texas as a kid, we ate poke (leaves & small stems) all the time just like one eats spinach. We didn't eat old or the large stems, nor the berries. I can't remember if we kept the cows from eating it when old. You used to be able to buy poke in cans commercially just like spinach. I haven't lived in the eastern or southern states for many decades and do not know if it can still be purchased. It was very tasty and sometimes Mom would cook it with eggs.

Do you close the jar?

Oh man! You got a taste of that Texas heat! 🥵🔥 Sorry you had to go through that 😬 It’s brutal Yikes, brown recluse are no joke 😱. We had them in Oklahoma really bad. Glad you’re ok. Take care!

Glad you hit that bite with the plantain poultice! 👍 If you do develop any tissue death I've heard that echinacea is very effective at stopping necrosis in rattlesnake bites. If you have any tincture at home applying some of that might not hurt. Hopefully you got all the excitement out of the way now though - enjoy your vacation!

Some of my seeds are already purple in June here in northwest Florida.

I have just encountered mycoplasma in poultry and a situation worrying

Massaging the croup for few minutes every couple of hours makes a big difference it helps to get the food moving out of the crop as well as the cider vinegar, electrolytes and probiotic . Beautiful coup BTW ,couldn’t never eat my chickens ,being a bit of sensitive woman I can’t even bring myself to eat it anymore ,good job I don’t raise cattle or sheep 😂.

Add milk to dirt cause growing algae in dirt

Doug is very sassy!( We found a fairy egg today. I'm guessing our thunder hail storms stressed one of our fluffy butts. )

What to fed my cauliflower when they start creating button in the center? Thanks

To much talking get to the problem

Where’d you buy the cotton seeds?

Great video, many thanks. I was worried about my crop of Tators (Red Pipers) as here in Scotland even though it is near the end of June 2024 we have had several frosts in the morning, I will be cultivating them soon though as they were my first crop so fingers crossed. Frosty Mornings in June, I thought we were supposed to be heating up?

On odsece samo jedan cv’et !ko ce verovati

Can algae be removed from the top of the soil and replaced with fresh soil?

I tried artichokes last year, somehow convincing myself that live in the Mediterana (I don't), I had a good plant which i did nothing to and low and behold it died. Fingers crossed I learned a few things for this year round, although the (very) late growing season this year doesn't quite help

Thank-you! This was very helpful. My potatoes haven't made flowers yet, hoping they will, but I now will know what to do if they produce berries. I never knew about the need for fermentation. I saved some eggplant seeds from last year's harvest, but none of them germinated this year. I wonder if they should have gone through fermentation as well. Also, I never fermented my tomato seeds and they seem to germinate if just even near some dirt lol! Thank-you again for the clarity of information.

We put up our shade cloth earlier this week. This is a first try for us, so curious to see how it's going to work here in the mid South!

My condolences on your loss of Abby. I'm sitting with you, as I lost my German Shepherd gardening buddy, Sable last season. I still look for her in her favorite spots in the garden. Our other elderly dog was so lost without his girl, so we got a Cairn Terrier pup last fall. They are best buddies. Your garden looks so lush. Love all the flowers! Will be looking forward to the video and updates on your cobblestone path. I pulled the lettuce and spinach that were bolting and sowed another round of green bean seeds.

Thanks for the info. I just put up the shade cloth yesterday.

I started using a shade cloth 3 years ago and what a difference!! We went from a wet, cool Spring to blazing hot this week. Heat index over 100 the last 4 days with no cool down in sight. We put the whole garden shade cloth over our main garden last week. Harvesting the first tomatoes, cucumbers, and green beans. Onions and Music garlic are curing. Corn is putting up tassles and forming ears. Off to a great start! Stay cool up there.

I found one next to my garden bed and ran to YT to see if anyone else did too. Thanks for the info. Those plant apps are super handy!

I’ve been able to harvest heads of broccoli. My cauliflower isn’t heading yet. Is that the way it normally is

Very good! Two things to consider: Use food grade buckets so you don’t get harmful plastic chemicals in the water and if your birds hatch their own chicks, be absolutely sure those chicks can reach the water, or place an additional chick size waterer in the pen. Same goes for the food, of course. Looks like the hens are enjoying the fresh water. :)

Too much rain, no female Flower Ni female Flower Upset

Love your shirt! Great video, thank you

💯

Can Denaguard be used as a prevention??

Thanks for the information. Worth it!!

thanks for the advice, weve had a wet cold start to the year here in UK. but on the hebrew calendar we are in a leap year so there is an extra month which makes the year one month late.

I am so sorry about Abby. Our fur babies grab our hearts and hold on, don't they.

If the plant wants to flower, pruning the first flush will only encourage it to try again and divert more energy from the tubers.

I want to grow it but it is extremely invasive...

Here in tennessee it is everywhere...we use it as an insect repellant by breaking off a branch and wacking our cloths with it

Beautiful walk through the garden - I'm sure Abby approves. I always enjoy seeing other people's garden progress. I'm in the same growing zone so your garden is a better comparison for me, haha. Your onions are doing better than mine! We both 'suffer' from takeover yarrow. You got your beans in earlier than me, mine just sprouted two days ago. Nothing ate my cucumbers - yay - so I've got one on you there! That being said, I'm about to direct sow another batch of them to stagger out the season. Gorgeous cabbage! That's one I'm still trying to get the hang of.

I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤

😩🐾🌈🐾. I’m a Cavalier mom, they are the sweetest! Sorry for your loss.

Mugwort will be banned here in CT effective October 1.

amazing how easy it is to get the exact information you need nowadays lol thanks so much man really helped me out

“Rootbound and Down” 🙌 Great title 🤠 Now that song is stuck in my head 😂 I hope your tomatoes are doing well 🤞

Hey, I recognize those scarlet runner beans 😉 You know I’m a soaker 😂 Is that shampoo ginger??? 🤩 Mine is doing great; can’t wait to try the soap 🫚 I love all your arches. I hope you get lots of potatoes. Let me tell you about hot and steamy, sir! 🤨 Your squash bed is going to look great. I’ll be interested in seeing how well you do with the vine borer. Great video! Sorry I’m late. Trying to get caught up on watching 😅

Lion’s mane is so cool! My husband brought home a HUGE one he found on a tree while hunting many years ago. You’ve reminded me that I have several mushroom kits that I need to get growing. Nice harvest!

This was interesting! Plus I liked hearing the chickens in the background.

Waiting until the end. Disappointed that you didn’t mention smoking mugwort.

Thank you let my little potatoes grow eyes cut them put them in a pot about to move them to a potato bag the greens are beautiful

Interesting information about mugwort. Thankyou!

Ooo!!! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing this 😊

West coast here! My property is rampant with polk Weed ❤
