Just a hint for you….the birds that are pooping on your cages was a problem for us too until I got some plastic zip ties and put them on the top facing upwards. Birds don’t want to land on them. When caging I use about 8-10 zip ties on each side so that the birds just don’t want to go near them. Hope that helps you. Cheers Theresa - Australia

I really appreciate your dialogue about food. So many homesteaders are all or nothing. And for the ones who can (or choose to) do 100% all-natural, that's awesome and admirable. But your approach seems a lot more balanced, realistic, and emotionally healthy. Thank you for not being afraid to say that you buy snacks at the store for your kids or eat out from time to time. I truly believe that the best thing any of us can do is make the most good choices we can, and not feel bad about the times we can't. Balance is vital, and every good choice makes an impact. Progress, not perfection.

I found myself crying while watching this video. My mother used to can from our garden and I didn’t really understand what a blessing that was to our family. She’s gone now, passed away last November. Unfortunately she never got to taste the peaches from the tree she helped me plant. I’m growing as a gardener while going to nursing school and I hope my mom is proud of me. I know she is…she put it in writing before she left us. ❤ I miss her, and this video makes me want to can some home grown bread and butter pickles…her favorite. Thanks so much for inspiring us to eat well and live well.

Bend your cattle panels into arches, attach to the tposts about 12-18 inches up. They grow up and over and you have access inside the tunnel as well as outside. OR use 2 panels and ziptie into a triangle instead of an arch. Cattle panels are such an awsome investment. Use them on top of your beds to keep critters (chickens) from digging. Still big enough holes to grow thru. Use them as a roof to trellis bigger plants. Easy to store after the season or repurpose for quick pens or emergency fencing, etc

You have to start the cucumber plants on the trellis. Once they get going they are better about climbing themselves. But when they first start you have to thread the vines through the holes in the trellis.
@livlee18585 ай бұрын
An idea for you guys on your cattle panel trellises for tomatoes - if you weave your plants through each of the holes as they grow taller, they’ll be supported without falling over. You have to do with the newer growth and keep up with it, but I’ve found good success here! Also, when you put your cattle panels up, place them about knee height or higher, then your tomatoes will be >6’ high! They’ll start to topple over just slightly before they need the support, then they’ll be tall enough!

I put my cattle panels (4ft X 16ft) up the long way so you can walk underneath them down the path as you would inside a high tunnel. Plant your indeterminate tomatoes or pole beans etc along the back side of the trellis towards the sun and they will grow 12-15 feet or more up and over the trellis. My garden beds are 20 ft long so it takes 5 cattle panels to make one trellis. We use zip ties to secure the panels together in addition to the short metal poles we put in. This was not a cheap, but these are very sturdy and should last for years. Also good for long vining squashes, cucumbers, and in the spring peas:). My husband is 6’4 and he has plenty of head space to walk underneath the trellis and the path is about 3 feet wide, maybe a little more. Hope this helps. Happy growing!

I use just one cattle panel for my tomatoes but I use 8' or more t-posts and I raise the cattle panel up to the top. Plenty of space & height to tie the indeterminate plants as they grow. It's also easier to cut the leaves at the bottom of the tomato plant and get the hose in there and water them because the cattle panel is not in the way at ground level. I get tons of huge tomatoes, 3rd year in a row now.

If I ever have extra brine, even for something like pickled beets, I will process that into a jar as well, because they can be added to bbq sauces, or as marinades for meats, poured into coleslaws or potatao salads. There are so many ways to use up pickle brines. And I am dedicated this year to only using my ForJars lids, and so far 500+ jars in, I have a 100% seal rate, and price for me is super important, and I always can get a good deal from them. They have an amazing support team and are actively working with home canners to provide amazing products. They are looking into moving state side, but I don't let it deter me from purchasing from them. They are here for us.

Hey, I'm a newer viewer and really loving your channel :). On the tomato trellising, my favorite way since trying it last yr. ( so, on my 2nd season of doing it) is Josh Sattin's "trellis to make you jealous" ( btw he is by no means an obnoxious guy, it's just what he named it). It's the same basic system growers use in high tunnels but without needing to use clips or anything to secure the tomatoes to the twine, or the twine to anything, either, and It's about the easiest, fastest way to trellis them that I've tried. I think this is also what Josh shows, but I bury the bottom end of the twine under my plant when planting it. If too late for that,tying it to a stake works too. The top is tied to the overhead pole whether it's conduit as Josh used or whatever one can make work. If u leave extra length & use a slip-knot, you can "lower and lean" late in season for access & just... room for plant to keep growing, if u want. Meanwhile, you just - once or twice a week- wrap the top of the main leader around the twine as it grows. I have a lil cattle-panel hoophouse also built last yr and I tie off just off to the side of top center inside, and grow my french type cantaloupes successfully in there using this method to help keep the path open among other things, too. Ditto with a row of ( mostly cherry) tomatoes on one side in there. So, in or out, with whatever u tie to overhead, I love this method ! Esp. for ease of removal at the end !!!!! SOOOO much better than trying to de-vine a cattle panel or even a tomato cage ! If u use non-plastic twine ( esp. from hay bales, so, already reused once..) u can compost it.

My cucumbers were over achievers this year! I have harvested 100+ cuks and it’s just my husband and I at home now . I have given cuks to our son and his family. I have 8 pints of sweet spicy pickles 8 pints of dill 6 pints of sweet freezer relish and 6 pints of dill freezer relish! I pulled my plants and I’m going to replace them with a cold crop
