[@DonnaRatliff1]

Your Roses are gorgeous and doing really well 💕. Aa for the, Moss rose, It grew great for me in Florida. Super easy but if it freezes, its never came back no matter where I lived. Up here in Northeast Alabama, it certainly doesn't but I've found that if I just pick up a few broken pieces off the ground at the garden center and I bring it home, stick it in the ground or in a pot that it grows huge and gorgeous in no time flat. Maybe this happens for you? To a Great surprise, I've noticed that my favorite annual is Impatients and it does come back each summer, and that's my Impatients. They never did that in the south though. I guess the seeds need stratified but I've been so happy to see all colors evey summer. I love roses of all kinds too.

[@curtisbacon7856]

The plant you were calling Rose Moss is called purslane 100% edible also a superfood. The seeds are very very small like miniature poppy seeds they will get in the ground all on their own you won't have to plant it there the stuff is very prolific and it will go everywhere.

[@KKing55]

@@curtisbacon7856 Interesting ~ TY for the info: Portulaca grandiflora, known as the annual Moss Rose, also has edible leaves, roots and seeds. The roots may be cooked; the leaves and seeds may be eaten raw or cooked, and the seeds ground into a powder for soups.

[@patshallick6487]

I had a neighbor who had a pet skunk. The spray sack was taken out. He walked him just like a dog. The skunk was friendly. The man who owned the sunk was my milk man who lived on the next street. He said the sunk was better protection than a dog. People would run when they seen them.

[@Mercedes65]

That is hilarious!

[@NoNORADon911]

My Dad had a fixed pet skunk named Maggie back in the 80's. She would run and stop fast and do a handstand almost. She used a litter box and used the dog door to look for grubs at night.

made me laugh, that big ol' Kabota to carry and bury that little skunk. Duke is gorgeous, beautiful conformation. you have the best cared for cattle i have ever seen.

[@bumblebee7922]

Such a funny video with Danny and the skunk! Love the pear canning. Your supper looks delish!

[@lorindahall131]

Mrs. Wanda,Your roses are beautiful.! I especially liked the coral colored rose. The Moss Rose is also called Portulaca.

[@cathybrubaker9705]

Those canned pears are beautiful. When I saw your pineapple laying there, it reminded me of something I’ve done that we love. Sometimes I add a little pineapple juice to the lightly sweetened brine. It’s delicious. You have touched our lives in so many ways, thank you. ❤️

[@gingerzelidon3573]

I sure enjoyed watching this video today. My favorite part is where you both worked together on canning the pears and the demo of the jar lids. TFS and have a blessed evening!

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

I was just listening when Wanda was talking to the cows, had to rewind back a few minutes to see them. Oh my! Beautiful! I love the breed!

[@Dotalina33]

A sweet pleasure watching your early morning video from catching a skunk to canning pears! My hubby and I adopted a technique for peeling apples using a battery drill with a flat blade that has saved us hours of peeling. He sets the drill on its side on a towel with the apple on the end turns it on and with a peeler moves it along the apple, done in seconds. I can’t keep up with him. I quarter them and cut inside out and put in pot for applesauce. You could find it on KZbin but it has saved us hours of time over the old way of peeling. We haven’t tried pears as we haven’t processed them as underripe as you do so we need to try that. But have made pear jam though. Every thing is within 2 weeks of coming to harvest in Michigan so we will be busy as you are. Have an awesome day…skunkless!!!

[@feduppatriot7647]

The drought still has a grip on us down here in Texas but at least the night temperatures did dip below 80 so that’s a nice thing to start your day .

Good morning Miss Wanda and Mr Danny. So glad you did not get sprayed! Thanks so much for the canning part also. So appreciate y’all taking the chance with new brands so the rest of us are spared disappointment. Beautiful pears! That cornbread looks pretty great….have to try that for sure. Have a blessed Monday❤️

[@barrypetejr5655]

That's some mighty fine eating this winter !!! 😊

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

Glad you got the skunk. I want to tell you that I love how you both work so well together on all of your projects. That is the way it should be.

[@attleheideann1469]

My family & I are also canning: Pears! (Sekert Heirloom Organic Pears, grown in our own orchard, in Central OK.) God Bless You, Beloved Sister Wanda & Beloved Brother Danny--thanks for giving God all the Glory in all you do and say! You're a joyful blessing to us, your subscribers!

[@Gigi-ty2jy]

Glad you got it. Hopefully it was the only one. I am the same - I don't tolerate the wild critters making themselves comfortable around our animals and food. Right now we are dealing with a pretty large group of raccoons. It's been a nightly (sleepless) battle for over a week. 🤬

[@osmadchlo]

Wanda, I would love to see your mexican cornbread recipe! I have been searching for one, but I'm old school, and I don't want my cornbread to look like a piece of cake. Yours looked perfect to me! I did look through both your channel playlists and didn't see it. ❤

[@dustcloudfeatherstone8195]

I think she has a cookbook.💗

[@desron1170]

Mr. Danny and Ms. Wanda, I enjoyed watching the canning lesson. No fuss, just simple and sweet pears :) Rich blessings, my friends :)

[@RobinL4715]

Your roses are beautiful! So many lovely colors. Love seeing the different aspects of life on the homestead.

[@mbolen5287]

Do not envy Danny having to move a dead skunk! I always love your canning tips and appreciate you testing the jar lids. (The pear sauce might be good over pork... will have to try it!)

[@hermithillhomestead5251]

I remember many years ago when I was young and dumb. We arrived on a job site to find a skunk. Well dumb me picked up a rock and threw it and killed the skunk. Needless to say it sprayed all over the house we were going to be working on. It smelled so bad we couldn’t work there that day. My boss chewed me up one side and down the other. He even threatened to fire me. I never forgot that day, and I never threw another rock at a skunk again.

[@hidebehind2604]

As a young one I knew every abandon homestead and cabin, almost all had apple and pear trees, fruit for the taking. FIRST FROST BROUGHT OUT THE SWEETNESS OF APPLES ANX PEARS, BUT THOSE WERE REAL OLD APPLE STOCK NOT LIKE TODAYS CROSS BRED TASTELESS AND VITAMIN MINERAL EMPTY TYPES. SOME APPLES WERE EATING, SOME PIES AND THEN WE HADE OLDTIME CIDER APPLES, HARD CID3R WAS WHAT WE WERE WEAN ON AFTER MONS BREAST HURT OR RUN DRY.

[@joyinthesouth1615]

MRS. WANDA, My brother said thank you for the video this morning. After watching you feed Mr Danny that Mexican cornbread I decided to make some for his dinner tonight along with some chili.... he was a very happy guy. 😉

[@serenitysealed485]

Wow. A busy day. Loved watching the canning. Would love to be able to do an in home tutorial with you.. Danny, great job of dispatching the vermin. Multitalented couple! Thank you for sharing.

[@schifflangefarms4539]

one trick we learned from a neighbor , is to put a slice of orange or lemon in bottom of jar. Its gives the pears a bit more flavor.

[@lauraoquinn9812]

Mrs. Wanda, My Moss roses took all summer to get going from seeds. I will be trying to extend their life in my small green house. I love these flowers. The colors are so pretty. I hope you enjoy yours. I enjoy your videos so much. Also. I love your peeler. Abundant blessings

[@sharonmcmillin5007]

Pears look amazing! Glad you didn’t have to use the de skunking kit on Danny! 😂

[@janetlavoie2441]

White vinegar mixed half and half with water neutralizes the odor...I know..multiple dogs hit by skunk and the pickle smell is a vast improvement over the skunk.

[@milknhoneyheritagefarms4706]

Mrs Wanda I’ll stay back here! Good idea

[@marshashelley8668]

Those your friend brought you are called moss rose. They do good in dryer soils! Hope they come back for you! Up here in the north they are an annual. But beautiful little rose like blooms of different colors on the same plant! I love them!

[@paularizzo5217]

Another busy day on the Homestead. Beautiful jars of pears. Glad the skunk is gone without any mishaps.

[@Stolensouls69]

Great video. The pear sauce looks good. Amazing looking corn bread. Have a great day Danny and Ms Wanda.

[@lorabeth3475]

I just subscribed to Crazy Daze. I've heard you mention it in previous videos but didn't realize it was another channel. Looking forward to seeing Ms. Wanda over there. I enjoyed watching the jar lid experiment

[@mariehyde5425]

Good morning to the both of you! This is another great video of canning your homegrown food.

[@TOMMYBITESHOMESTEAD]

Hello Danny and Ms Wanda. I believe we got skunked some weeks ago. It tore the head off. We thought maybe a possum or coon. The neighbors said they saw a skunk in the area

[@theIAMofME]

Glad I haven't used the Suburb. That happened to me using the Mainstay lids from Wally World. I need to get me some forjar lids. I've got a good stash but, in the future I'm getting some of those!!! Thanks for showing us. I would be mad if I had done pressure canning with them and they messed up in the canner. Oh and another name for Rose moss is Portulaca. Don't know if I spelled it right.

[@anitafanshaw8932]

I believe the moss rose is also called portulaca or something like that. Beautiful pears and i loved the roses...

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

Mrs Wanda I've never heard of Superb Canning Lids, thank you for doing this video!

[@julieschossow9315]

What a calming video after the skunk! Terrible drought here. No rain for months! Water and electric are sky high. Everyday feels like I'm in the middle of the desert with temps nost days at least 100.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

We have way too many skunks in our area to get rid of them. They normally never bother my chickens or even us. But yesterday morning I was looking out the window and saw one. He/she was just digging in the burnt soil(we finally touched up the downed limb pile in the side yard)for grubs. Later after my coffee I go out to open the chickens and there's little stinker eating my only pearl oyster mushrooms, that had finally started to flush again! There was only a small flush of about 5 or 6 showing but I missed the first flush they got buggy. I do have 2 logs over there where the small log is hoping for it to spoor to them. But at least mrs/Mr stinky didn't bother my established logs of golden oysters. We ended up with several pounds of beautiful golden oyster mushrooms. I dried most of them for this winter tho. It should flush out maybe one or 2 more times this year. I missed out the first flush of them too, I just didn't expect them this early in the season. We have shiitake mushrooms seeded into 7 logs out back too that look like they can be triggered into flushing out soon. Have you ever tried growing mushrooms at deep south Homestead? Shiitake-if dried gills up in the sun reportedly have huge amounts of vitamin D which we can use all winter here in the north for sure. I have other mushrooms that come up naturally like yellow morels and giant puffballs. Some medicinal types but I havent used them they just pop up wild. Turkey tail and dryad saddle/pheasant saddles.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We don't eat mushrooms.

[@Thetimecapsuletx]

I don’t know why I think this is so funny. All this for a silly skunk just has me laughing, thinking about how my mom would buy hotdogs to feed the skunks. I just found your channel and I had to subscribe.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It was eating my chicken eggs. Had to go.

[@karensuggs5796]

Love pears!!! Our tree didn't make any this year, not sure what happened. I've been meaning to comment on your ladle spoon, I love it.

[@beprepared....7391]

I trimmed back my large rose bush this morning. My hibiscus is pink and still blooming here in Michigan. It's the hardy variety. Last night I had to remove my pea plants. I picked peas then we were gone a couple days and upon return they had powdery mildew covering them. I salvaged what I could to dry and keep as seeds going forward.

[@barbaramahan364]

So appreciate this video! I have a pear tree that is loaded right now and I couldn't decide if they were ready to pick but they look just like yours so I'm on it!!! Thank you!

[@paisley1134]

I love pears and you did such a good job on these! Did everyone know that pears are one of the top fruits that is loaded with fiber? ! Even more than apples. So yummy and healthy.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

Glad you got that skunk. We got a little rain yesterday but not enough. Really like that old apple peeler. The Mexican corn bread recipe is in your cookbook and I'm going to make this week. Is the sweet potato dessert the sweet potato brownies? Thanks for the canning video, God Bless. Mike

[@etakjam1536]

Beautiful pears. Thank you for the tips on how to select ripe ones. We have a couple very old pear trees on our property but I never get enough ripe pears to can. I normally end up leaving them for the wild animals to eat. Next year I'll try picking them sooner.

[@catherinefrye7269]

Brother Danny I am happy that you got that stinky skunk! When they spray their odor is very strong. It will definitely take your breath away! Great Video and thanks for sharing. ❤🤗

[@patrice1966]

I’m glad you were able to eradicate that skunk without him spraying you or the building! Great job getting him on the first try Danny. There is NOTHING WORSE than getting skunked!!! I get physically ill when my dog has gotten skunked and I’ve had to bathe him. There is nothing more frustrating than to do all that work to preserve your homegrown food and have the lid buckle during processing! Thanks for sharing your side by side comparison of the For Jars and Superb lids. I have heard wonderful things about the For Jars lids and next time I need to purchase lids I will be buying that brand. Your meal looks delicious! That cornbread sounds heavenly. 😋

Glad you didn't get sprayed Danny. A lovely video. Canned pears look amazing. I just started using Forjars lids and they have all sealed. Dang Kerr lids are not sealing so they are going in the trash.

[@Frankie_902]

Those beautiful Moss Rose plants are also called Purslane, Portulaca, Eleven O'clock, Mexican Rose and several other names. They are very beautiful and have a nutritional value as well. Your Rose bushes are beautiful as well. I have one Rose bush that struggles every year. The first year I had it it out on large red roses and the next year nothing and this past spring it was loaded with very small red roses. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I try to follow instructions for feeding it each year but I'm thinking maybe I should give it a good pruning to see if that helps it out. Oh my goodness...... those Pears are GORGEOUS!! I don't care for pears but those are beautiful!! It makes me want to get some to can.

[@debbywelchel3893]

Skunks I know we had one dig under the house mating season had to cement around the house got rid of them the smell came up into the house smelled it for 2weeks in the house .awful we didn't smell but you could smell it. They haven't been back since. That is country living. Love ya stay safe.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

[@Tzippy323]

I found that the lids that buckle in a water bath generally do so because they are over tightened. Some lids are really finicky.

We stayed at my aunt and uncle’s house in Illinois once. It was hot, so we had the fan on and window open. I was woken in the middle of the night from the most awful, gagging smell. Turns out that their St. Bernard scared a skunk in the back. No skunk body, but my uncle had to wash the dog. I’ll never forget that smell! 😂🤢 Many Blessings!

[@sadie21962]

Their skat will smell slightly like skunk too. We had one dig under our barn side and burrowed under some skids. When we moved the skids it smelled faintly of it. The problem of getting in the barn was fixed. I've heard they can only spray once every so many minutes or hours. I don't remember how long in between.

[@heavenboundhomestead126]

If a female skunk does not want to mate with the male skunk, She will spray him. Skunks is one of the 1st things that mates in my state. And I tell you, There must be a lot of females that don't want to mate. Lol Blessings and safety to you all

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I just had a mama skunk under my old shed floor. 3 babies. I dumped moth balls under there and she moved and I think all of them are gone now. Anyway I pray they are. I love the roses. I haven't been able to grow any here yet.
