Thank you so much Jody!🫶🏻 I really appreciate that!☺️

[@jenthrasher5056]

Tina was curious: Why not pull up a few starts and plant them on your property. I have 12 plants. Get tons of blueberries every year from them, but it's not enough. I bake a lot with them, make pancakes,cobblers, and smoothies, and eat them plain as snacks. I'd like about 10 more plants

[@janetshepherd9062]

The scenery is so absolutely magnificent! What a blessing! And I love how excited the chickens were to get out in the yard!

[@suseyq4559]

The slo-mo of the chickens running was fantastic!

[@peggetennant]

The price of those blueberries would be astronomical if you had to buy them. Glad you were safe. Looking forward to your move. Thanks for another great adventure.

[@christinestephenson1742]

Especially here in Texas!! I'm a Michigan transplant and miss getting fresh wild blueberries and picking strawberries right off the bushes!!

[@stevenhartley1350]

My Canadian cousins live in log cabins and what they did was stain them in the summer they moved in (18 years ago) and then in the autumn then did a beeswax and Linseed oil finish and protect the wood (1part beeswax 3parts Linseed oil) and they reapply every other year and the cabins look as good as the day they were built. They have had zero rot, unlike some others that have not applied any protective barrier for years.

Smart!

If you punch 2 holes on each side of your bucket you can hang around your neck and pick with 2 hands. I use a yogurt container and put in bigger bucket when full.

What I do is spread them out on cookie tray & put in freezer just a few hours...Then put in ziplock bags. I use tin foil to line the tray, I layer the cookie sheet several layers of blues to freeze at once.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Yeah but when you have this many blueberries, that’s a lot of batches going in & out of the freezer. Plus we don’t have the freezer space for a bunch of cookie sheets!😊

Wow, those are some very large blueberries. This is a beautiful place to pick. I'm surprised the wildlife haven't found this area.

[@januszlewicki5783]

Hello Tina.Jokingly speaking, the best strength training for all parts of the body (at the age of 20 - 70 years) is to chop 2 cubic meters of wood every day. The difficulty is graded. We start, for example, with pine, then chop spruce and finally dry birch. The effects will be great.

If u put your blueberries on a cookie sheet and freeze them first and then put them in gallon bags the are individual they don't clump together.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

@@marycoder560 too many blueberries lol! I’ve done this with my zucchini harvest from the garden before & you’re right, it works perfectly but with this many blueberries, we don’t have enough cookie sheets or enough freezer space.😊 This way is much faster and works just as good-they’re never clumped together!🫶🏻

[@valeriegrant6839]

Just a couple of suggestions for you, 1st put the drone up in the air before you cross the river to see your safest place to cross. 2nd put a lid onto your buckets after you pick the berries so you wont spill the out accidentally. I love watching your videos!
