Different varieties are best for different dishes/cooking forms. Not all potatoes make good baked potatoes, so that factors into everything as well.

Oh to be young and fit again and starting out with so much promise in the future!! Congratulations on how much you were able to accomplish this past year. I just recently found your channel and need to go back and watch your older videos. Can I ask you what brand your small greenhouse is that you moved? I'm in south central Montana near the Wyoming border and the winds in my area can be pretty intense some days and I've been trying to find a greenhouse that will hold up to them. Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

I’m glad you found us! The small greenhouse is a Grandio. We made a video on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHaXe2t6rNN0e6Msi=_FKAQvQry0nZ8unX As far as wind goes, we do not currently have any sort of wind protection around it as we did when we made this video. It has held up great as is without the wind block as was seen in this video that I attached.

Interesting, in the USA there are cellars or basements, sorry I'm from Bavaria, I still don't know the difference from the word, but that's not my topic. The house my family (father) comes from has a storage cellar under the house that must be around 200-300 years old and is really damp and cool, a fairly constant temperature throughout the year. It's very good for storing fruit and vegetables, but back then these cellars were built for storing wine. 😄 What interests me is why are the ceilings above the cellars or basements 😉 usually made of wood or wooden construction beams or with steel beams and sheet steel with concrete or with any ICF systems? I've already watched a few videos, but I haven't seen any ceilings over basements made of reinforced concrete in the USA. Is this not allowed in your country or what are the reasons? I am a trained master bricklayer and concrete builder with a building construction technician qualification according to our building system. We build our houses very differently than in the USA. Most of our houses here are built with reinforced concrete basements because we have very high groundwater levels here (near Munich) and some of the basements are in water (yes, really in water), but they have to be watertight and the easiest way to do that is with concrete. There are also areas where the basements are built with block bricks, but all the ceilings are always made of reinforced concrete. Greetings from Upper Bavaria.
@mosbysmen11 күн бұрын
a lot of areas in the u.s. dont have basements because the ground is to hard to dig or the water table is to high .
@martinmay9111 күн бұрын
@@mosbysmen These are factors, but not obstacles. As I wrote, we build a lot of basements here (near Munich) with the foundation or right (1m-2m) into the groundwater. In some cases, even the basement windows are below the groundwater level, which is possible here because we have watertight concrete light wells. With today's technology, it is also possible (I have already built a cellar in sandstone soil) to build a cellar in hard ground. More and more houses are now being built without basements because many people think it's too expensive. But then the garage is full of all kinds of things and the car is parked in front of the garage. 😉 Nevertheless, why are there no reinforced concrete ceilings above the basement in the USA (if there is a basement)?

Tomato jam can make decent sub for ketchup, depending on how it tastes. Try it on home fries? If you like fermenting foods (such as the kimchi), you might try fermenting your turnips. If you like sauerkraut, there is a thing called sauerrueben (sour roots, instead of sour "greens"). Shred the turnips, and ferment just as you would cabbage - they make plenty of brine, and it is delicious - I personally like it better than sauerkraut.
