[@alwaysinblue]

I've been binge watching your videos, and in my opinion, your channel is unique. It's like watching a lovely love story unfolding. It's so poetic, so beautifully videoed and so sweetly narrated, especially when it's both of you interacting. It's just so different from any other channel I have ever seen. It's just a lovely break from the ordinary. Thank you.

[@ardushkaa]

Pls pls pls show some more Seasonal cooking. I live in Michigan and it’s so hard to know what’s best sometimes, let alone what to do with it. I love this type of content

[@FARMERMOMMA]

I know what you mean, gardening is the "easy" part. Utilizing the produce and preserved stored food is the hard part!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

You are a wonderful teacher. You speak so clearly and concise. Your Romain is mind blowing! And by the way, i just came home from the grocery store and bought the last 2 bunches of green onions available. Kudos to you for all you do!

[@leanneporter2661]

My grandparents had the most amazing garden ....I can close my eyes and see her go out and get all the produce her daily home made buns ..and cook a meal for 14 people we where all full...love that time. It was effortless for her..

Tip for anyone else who enjoys these videos but likes to hear information a little bit faster, you can go to settings and change the playback speed to 1.25 and it's wonderful!

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

I so love your channel! My wife and I identify as an old '50s couple (who aren't really from the '50s but I think you know what I mean) who are happy to stay home and cook our harvest most nights. Of course we get cabin fever occasionally and have to make a break for it, but largely I identify with Beth from Little Women (the good one with Wynona Ryder) who said, "Why does everyone want to move away. I like our home." or words to that effect. I have made a few recipes of yours and it just puts my roots down further in our little corner of Down Under. Cheers!

[@lucamackenzie9229]

@Catania Momma Italia yes, a bit inartfully expressed, I thought so too. I think he probably meant something like "we feel like" or "this is the time that suits us the best / we wanted to have lived in / the 50s is the time we take a lot out for our life" etc.

[@lucamackenzie9229]

50s is the time, I wished I had live in as well. But I guess it wasn't that shiny and perfect after all, but then again, my grandparents lived in that time and to me they had the perfect life, they had an awesome marriage, they were so happy in their traditional lifestyle and they raised good hearted, great kids - so yes, for them it was the perfect time and it would have been for me as well 🥰

My sourdough starter and I had a conversation 2 days ago, I’m on try number 5 and honestly in the middle of a breakdown I decided that we had to have the “come to Jesus” talk.. Finally my sourdough starter is looking bubbly like it’s supposed to

[@ellen823ful]

It’s weird… my sourdough was consistently good. This summer it’s completely different. The starter is much more finicky.

[@faithfullyfitkitchen]

Keep grinding, you can do it! It's so rewarding when you get it down!

[@DesertEdgeLegal]

It took me a year to finally get a few good loaves. I empathize!

[@mfr336]

Ugh, I'm going through it right now. But I know things are going to eventually work, and it's going to be so rewarding. I'm just not a good baker. I'm a great cook, but baking eludes me. I think my starter actually looks pretty good, but my ability to make a loaf isn't the best.

Here’s to CeCe being bred-back successfully this time! 🤍

Freeze drying onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms works amazingly well. I've done hundreds of pounds.

We have a family member who must eat a low fodmap diet, and green onion tops (and garlic leaves and scapes) have been a lifesaver in our kitchen.

Hi Shay, we can eat fresh here in central Texas most of the year. I remember harvesting lettuce under row cover on Christmas day. We do pickle, preserve and make our own vinegars and condiments. Some of our favorites are jalapeno ketchup, Dijon, German and spicy mustards. We enjoy your channel. Mike

[@stepstev611]

I would love to live in central Texas but I’ve heard the tornados are terrible down there is this true ?

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

@@stepstev611 Not that bad, most houses have a mud room. It's where you have your washer and dryer. The walls are 6" of concrete and the roof in that area is metal. That's what we have. We are 52 and only been close to two in our lifetime. The thunderstorm are very entertaining. We sit out back on the porch and enjoy.

[@sarahjohnson9556]

I love south of Fort Worth. Spring was all wind so we missed out on enjoying the couple weeks of cooler weather. Now summer is way to hot way to early and my lettuce all went to seed and is a little bitter! But we did get into December last year with a few things still growing!

The summer garden has been struggling in the heat wave (95+ degree days for a couple of weeks and NO rain!) but it looks like the forecast is showing cooler days ahead (by cooler I mean high 80s) and chances of rain almost every day.

[@Jennian_M]

I recommend the channels "whispering willow farm" with Jill and "Roots and Refuge" with jess. They are also in the south (Arkansas and South Carolina) so their weather is probably closer to yours as far as what you can grow.

[@meganmackenzie5993]

Zones are only relevant to perennials, about the lowest average temperature your area reaches yearly in winter. I'm in Zone 4b: so, I can grow an apple tree just fine, but not an avocado or orange tree without a heated greenhouse.

[@alyneorleans5018]

I’m so glad to have discovered your channel! I’m binging all the previous content, but wanted to take a minute to compliment you on how well and thoroughly you have recreated the English cottage feel in your beautiful home. I especially like that your style incorporates the man in your home: no blinding whites, fake greenery, or prop-looking “styling,” and not a diffuser, a chalkboard, or a cluster-f of white pitchers anywhere in sight! I’m looking forward to more content and following you through the seasons! 🙂

[@grksher]

You have such a calm, soothing demeanor…I really enjoy watching your videos! In addition, you always share such valuable information! I’m curious if you do anything with radish and/or carrot tops? When I make beets I cook the greens as well and serve them with olive oil and a splash of vinegar (I’m Greek and this is the way Greeks typically eat beets and the greens). ❤️

They're seriously delicious grilled. 😋

[@shananotz9920]

I love this! I've never been much of a "package cooker" but trying to figure out how to grow what things for meal making has been so rough for me! I dont have a ton of space, my husband loves fresh tomatoes so I've always grown those, and squashes and cucumbers. But we've had vine borers the last few years, and tomato blight, so everything but 2 sugar rush pepper plants flopped. The peppers were heavy producers, but I had NO IDEA how to preserve them! It's been a mess. Getting away from grocery store dependence is a pretty big learning curve

It's taken me awhile to figure out how much to grow, what varieties and then to write it down where I will see it next year. My family really only needs about 3 kale and swiss chard plants and I planted 18 of each. I've spent 2 days blanching and freezing it. Today I coerced my husband to eat kale salad and I gave the rest to the chickens. I thought about giving some to my horse, but didn't just in case it might give her diarrhea.😂

I wanted to do a no dig garden, because I absolutely hate weeding. I spent all winter long collecting good cardboard, my sister came to spend a few months with me, and bullied me into getting rid of the cardboard, by calling me a hoarder. Then my father-in-law and husband insisted on on tilling the garden, yet they don’t want to do the work it takes to weed it. So now once again I am faced with weeding, and it’s taking over the garden. I guess what I’m saying is I am so disheartened, because I so wanted to do a no till garden, yet I have no support.
