Buttercup is Adorable, She was looking at Zeb like She was in LOVE...

[@catherinestewart]

You can see the excitement in Jami’s eyes to get started on the design side but she is such a good worker doing the boring dirty demo stuff with Zeb, bless you both

[@tinawynn9417]

Buttercup cracks me up how she was talking to Zeb .. she was saying she was hungry... She is eating for two...lol... Garden yummies look great!!!!

[@kathymcintire6182]

Oh my goodness 😂 i love butter cup 🐂🐮💞☺💞

[@kimbibbs5700]

BUTTERCUP!!! She is about as PRECIOUS as you can get!! She loves her Daddy!!!❤

[@dianevictorianshabbyshop3876]

Hi guys, I bought a solar dryer for my herbs, cost me about $15.00 and no power bill, I love it. I have dried carrots and leek so far. Great harvest, I harvested 12 DZ green beans and a bunch of carrots. Still have to do potatoes next week. God Bless.

[@jamiandzeb]

Right? We never seem to use the dishwasher if they have one in smaller air bnb’s

[@melonmahfood2439]

Buttercup is just too sweet, she loves her Zeb! Great video, loved the cooking, gardening and demo!

[@andreabalogh5967]

Buttercup is adorable 🥰 Love to see your garden treasures and yummy cooking.

[@pamcronje6932]

Buttercup absolutely loves Zeb, how sweet is she? Garden looks amazing❤

[@karenhills8535]

You both are so hardworking, your garden is lovely, Buttercup is darling too

[@cerridwenrowan]

I don't know how financially viable it is, but there are half size dishwashers in a drawer form that could be an option. I actually think it's fine to go without a dishwasher. I don't have one

[@jamiandzeb]

I think it’s more of a space saving decision Although we are trying to stay on a tight budget

[@patriciabarnes9738]

Buttercup is adorable!❤️

Buttercup is so adorable!

[@lynedington5587]

Such a nice garden. I make big batches of pesto from fresh basil. I put 1 to 1 1/2 cups in a gallon freezer bag and spread it out in a thin layer and freeze it flat on a cookie sheet. Very easy to store and you just break off a chunk when you need it.

[@jamiandzeb]

That sounds so easy!

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

I love Buttercup! Too sweet. The garden looks good. I have a Kalorik toaster oven/dehydrator/convection oven etc that is awesome for drying herbs. Our garden is much smaller but am still getting tomatoes, herbs, potatoes, lettuce and green beans. It all looks good and the demolition is coming along nicely. Keep up the awesome work!

[@jamiandzeb]

That’s awesome! That Kalorik sounds amazing!

[@EclectiquebyTerryLou]

I love this "days in the life"! That's a fantastic way to make an omelet. Never occurred to me to use a pan like that. Your garden is wonderful and I love Buttercup. You're just awesome people. 🥰🥰

[@jamiandzeb]

The chickens are laying like crazy so we’ve been trying all sorts of ways to eat the eggs up. I even think all the neighbors are getting tired of eggs lol

[@bonniesmith1179]

Love seeing Buttercup- she’s got such a personality! Watching you cooking, and picking vegetables from the garden made me hungry for more fresh food. We don’t have room for a garden but I love fresh garden/farm produce so we have to purchase it. I do understand what you said about being on vacation, or away from home and not being able to get much really healthy food. In fact, that’s why I cook everyday because that’s what we want. We definitely feel better when we. cook ourselves.

[@jamiandzeb]

I want to do a small “greenhouse” experiment growing some indoor veggies this winter in a few pots. We’ll see how much I get! ❤️❤️

[@lynseycrittenden5789]

I love seeing these videos of how everything is going like the demo, garden, buttercup & the cooking 👌 Thanks for sharing! I’m learning a lot from both channels😊

[@renovativehome]

I love these videos.

[@renepainter1328]

All air b&bs i’ve stayed in have dishwasher and I just wash the couple of items by hand 😊

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I don’t have a freeze dryer, but I have heard from homesteaders it is the best way to dehydrate herbs. Regular dehydrating doesn’t keep the color or flavor as well, apparently, especially with cilantro. Oxygen absorbers aren’t the same thing as dessicants, they won’t deal with the moisture. You might want to keep an eye on the herbs for a week or two to see if there is any moisture on the plastic inside.

[@beckykelly7685]

OMG Buttercup is so cute.

[@cjh011y4]

Zeb you made me so hungry. Looks so good. Ugh typos. I fixed it...Zeb that's better

[@casid9929]

Great salad! Roasted beets, red onion, glazed pecans, feta cheese with orange vinegrette dressing.

[@mbowman4436]

Buttercup loves Zeb! So cute.

[@annabellegarde4553]

We get a lot of zucchini from our garden , they make good zoodles with our homemade pesto. 😋 your garden is beautiful

[@carolynalfonso4548]

I love the garden .... Good job! Its a lot of work, I know but so worth it.

[@debrareynolds5818]

Hi everyone!

[@msmayree]

Such a small cute cottage. I know you two will make it absolutely adorable. With a small place, ever thought of going tankless for your water heater?? I know it can cost a pretty penny, but could free up some space in your kitchen area. Looking forward to seeing all your great designs.

[@jamiandzeb]

Tankless is the way to go! We have tankless at our house and love it

[@jaynebrown693]

BEAUTIFUL GARDEN…. Zeb when you said how good it smelt …I think I could almost smell it…yum yum!!!! So jealous of FRESH VEGETABLES AND HERBS ! Well done everyone! Buttercup is too cute and funny! She loves Zeb ❤️ Jami you are right…dishwasher isn’t needed! I was in a Hotel for 2 1/2 weeks while my husband was in the hospital, there was a dishwasher and I never touched it..well I did peek in it …LOL!!!! But save the money…not needed👍 I would love some of your energy! I did have it once 🥰🥰 God bless !

[@jamiandzeb]

Right! Most people are only going to stay a few days and need to wash a cup or some silverware.

[@ragingsmirk68]

We had that colorful front door at our Central California house in the late 1960's.

[@dancingdaisydesigns531]

Lovein this new channel. Bittercup is so sweet. So glad you guys are keeping it healthy, don't you just feel so much better when you eat well, I know I do. FYI: Jami is right Avocado Oil is better to cook with, it has a higher smoke point then olive oil. When oil reaches it smoke point it becomes carcinogenic. Keep the olive oil for salad dressings & such.

[@ellew5645]

It's sad that buttercup doesn't have grass to graze on

[@JamiRayVintage]

She has grass. It’s not tall but in the summer months we water her pasture

[@laurieberry3920]

Oh my word! I love Buttercup! And clearly Zeb is her person. She was talking to him!! So sweet. Fun seeing all the herbs! My dad used to grow sage…. And I still have some he dried!! So yummy! Your garden is awesome. Love these videos.

[@jamiandzeb]

Buttercup is awesome. She really is the sweetest cow I’ve ever been around.

[@annalinneajohansson]

@@jamiandzeb Sweet owners most often makes sweet animals.

[@dorothyarredondo6285]

You guys are amazing.. God bless

[@susanalexander2916]

Avocado oil can handle hotter temps than olive oil - I think. Both are great.

[@tabathacabrera9335]

Please get buttercup’s hooves taken care of!! Great garden

[@jamiandzeb]

Working on it. I think I finally have someone that will come out. Been trying for months now. I don’t feel competent enough to do it myself but if this person no shows like the rest I’m probably going to have to try

[@justjen3216]

I have been subscribed to jamirayvintage for years but haven't been on u tube a Lil bit. Somehow I missed that yunz have another channel. Glad it popped up in my feed. I'm loving this channel as well

[@jamiandzeb]

We’re having fun doing these videos 😊❤️

[@RebaKennedy]

Love this new channel!!! It is so encouraging to hear Zeb's excitement over the fabulously growing garden. And seeing Buttercup through the window mooing at Zeb was adorable. There cannot be too much Buttercup IMHO. Oh and I can't wait to see what Jami has planned for the design phase for the cottage. Jami, do you do a mood board or collect ideas on Pinterest in your design planning?

[@jamiandzeb]

I have a board! It’s currently private. I should fix that 😊

[@RebaKennedy]

@@jamiandzeb Oh my! Would you share it? Maybe explain a bit of your process? That would be great!!!!!

[@boring.doerings]

How about a mini dishwasher?

[@juefryer2078]

Freeze the herbs

[@wendysmith1166]

It looks like Buttercups hooves need trimmed

[@jamiandzeb]

Maybe. I used to think so too but my uncle (old cowboy) told me dairy cows hooves are different than beef cattle and if I trimmed them to be very careful. He said it’s better to take a walk with her around the block on some asphalt to wear them down naturally.

[@lisagrafton2529]

I saw someone freeze dry cilantro, and they said it turned out amazing.

[@jamiandzeb]

It is good but it blows all over my freeze drier because it’s so light lol.

[@erinm7813]

Zeb, thanks for setting my Alexa time for 1 hour 30 mins.....hahaha

[@jamiandzeb]

Haha! Welcome!

[@vickyzak-px2lp]

Wow thst garden went sooo fast! Mine is still not producing.

[@jamiandzeb]

Ah man. Hopefully soon!

[@janay9706]

Do Buttercups hoofs need a trim? 🐄🐄🐄💗

[@jamiandzeb]

Yes and no. Typically dairy cows have longer hooves. We just need to take her in a walk around the block on the asphalt and wear them down a little.

[@kimnelson7526]

How many people just had their Alexa set a timer? My husband thought our Alexa lost her mind when she started talking 😂

[@jamiandzeb]

Hehehe. Sorry!

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

They have very small dishwashers that are like a drawer?

[@whynotredesign]

When is buttercup due? She looks exhausted like when we are 9 mos already 😂 poor thing.

[@jamiandzeb]

End of September. It’s been really hot and that’s making everyone a little cranky

[@whynotredesign]

@@jamiandzeb I’m in Texas, I can definitely related to that. 🥵

[@shuddle82]

Please, please, please show how to make mozzarella cheese 🧀 pretty please?

[@jamiandzeb]

I think we have a video showing it but I don’t think it’s a dedicated video on the whole process so once buttercup has milk again we can show it.

[@shuddle82]

@@jamiandzeb thanx ❤

[@vickiegriffin9414]

Where are your sheep? Did I miss something? Also, have you tried freeze drying your herbs?

[@jamiandzeb]

We had to give the sheep away. With buttercup having a calf soon we exceeded the amount of animals we can have for our zoning.

[@jamiandzeb]

I freeze dried some last year and as they got dry it vacuumed them all over the freeze dryer 😂

[@vickiegriffin9414]

@@jamiandzeb that’s too bad. They sure were cute.

[@vickiegriffin9414]

@@jamiandzeb oh no. Well good to know not to try it!

[@Banannaspot]

Do you have a video on why you are eating different diet?

[@jamiandzeb]

Not specifically. Zeb was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease a year ago and they recommended cutting out all inflammatory foods, Specifically gluten and processed sugars and to eat as clean as possible. It’s helped him quite a bit.

[@Banannaspot]

@@jamiandzeb , kudos. I find Browns’s gas also helpful for mine.

[@Jupefires]

Why do you have a rooster? How do you keep the eggs from being fertilized?

[@jamiandzeb]

They get fertilized. He does a real good job at keeping the hawks and other small predators away from the coop.

[@leeanneshaw1899]

Can you dry the dill and chop it?

[@jamiandzeb]

Yeah

Buttercup needs her hooves trimmed.

Yes
