Seems to me there are a few people who only open your videos to have the opportunity to give a thumbs down, without watching the video. How very shallow of them! Thumbs up to you every time, Tessie! And thank you for being so brave as to put yourself out there like this. I'm sorry you have been taken to task for appearance, language, anything. You are brave. lovely, of pure heart, and so kind! Thank you for all you do - and I'm so sorry it takes nine hours per day for your yt effort - wow! Wish it weren't so. Most of us would not care if you did not edit your videos at all, so maybe you could lighten up on that? Hugs for you.

[@HomesteadTessie]

This is such a joy for me ! and having you in my life as to the thumbs down ,I used to be so bothered by them ,At first I even cried over it ,I took it personally ,I realize people are hurting ,and in deep Pain some of these thumbs down I believe have been following me a long time and as I grow in my Spirit ,and be more confident they are upset over that .and lash out ! I hold no ill feelings ,in fact it makes me want even more to share love ,I never want to be like them and someday I pray say something to help change their perspective on Life

Hi Tessie! I learned something from a comment section a few years ago. I live in deep South, and limited dark areas in my home. I was told that putting old socks over your jars of food can help keep light off them! Hopefully info will help some of your subs. Have a blessed day! Thanks for all your great tips!

[@midgeb.2863]

@@OICUR12 Hi. If your lids are metal, then yes, at some point it will rust. Also moisture can leach into containers if not glass. I keep my items inside 5 gallon pails, and use something that can keep items dry ( those silicon bags that come with shoes etc, I save and put it in pails too, or make your own with rice, or desiccant PKG on Amazon or other place) I also keep an eye on the pails. I also just subtract 2-5 years off my "use by date" due to humidity. Your food may also get very hot under your house? That will shorten the use by date also.

My grandma's chore as a child was to go in basement and rub the eyes off the potatoes. Or crack some walnuts.

[@billiepreston5470]

We dug a deep hole out back under our deck. We lined it with burlap large enough to also cover the potatoes after we filled the whole with them. Put your potatoes in the hole, pull the burlap over them then cover with the dirt. Lasted all winter and what had developed eyes we planted in the spring.

[@geraldstcyr]

Hey Tessie. You probably already know this, but just in case. If you plan on making frozen french fries, do what Ore Ida does. Partially deep fry them first, let them cool, then freeze on a sheet pan in a single layer before bagging. It works. Love the potato buckets.

[@andreamills5852]

I'm blessed with a dirt basement, that's where my grandparents kept their extra canned goods and root vegetables. Its a constant temperature year round. My papaw buried his cabbage heads upside down in the ground even in the winter. Cabbage never froze. I know people who take green tomatoes wrap them in news paper place them under their beds in the dark and have tomatoes all winter. They just unwrap a couple set them in the window and let them ripen. There are videos of people who know how to preserve eggs all winter. 🙏🙋☺ There is a lot of ways to preserve food out there. Cause way back they didn't have mylar bags or freezers, fridges, or even glass canning jars. There is everything from salt cured meats to smoking. 👍🙏🙋💞

[@gogogardener]

I do that with my green tomatoes in the Fall; except I put them in garage. I have fresh tomatoes through January in my location. I never heard of burying cabbage? Interesting. Did he bury them in the basement to keep critters from getting them, or out in the field?

Go ahead. Call me crazy. I live in a one bedroom apartment but its like little houses glued together. Have own front yard and have been growing herbs peppers and tomatoes on my front patio. Soooo yes problem with potatoes. This winter I am going to try storing potatoes. Some in box in hall closet with holes cut into it. Closets stay cold. The other way...my bedroom in plastic basket with holes. Room stays very cool. Will cover with beautiful light cotton cover. Will move them (stir!) every week and pray over them. Also i am canning a dozen red potaoes. Of course I have instant mashed potatoes😒😒but am grateful to God for everything I have. Am almost prepped for 8 months. So proud. 62 year old Dr. Fell and paralyzed my foot 5 years ago.Widowed. Had closed Practice for 3 months in Naples Florida. Was returning home and fell up a step paralyzed left foot, broke tailbone, stuck out for 9 months, nurse came everyday to dress it. Cracked bottom 3 discs...trust me when I say your life can change in a moment! So still in Kentucky. My sons and grandchildren are in Naples. I can't afford housing there and don't want to burden sons in prime of their career. Good news. I now have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and am trusting him for money to move to country in Northern Florida or South Georgia. 8 hours away from my precious sons is much better than 17!

Fine video Miss Tess, so wonderful to see that happy spirit and easy to see that God has blessed you and your labors.

[@maryzegilla9028]

good morning Tessie. I love watching your channel, I learn so many things from you. You bring back memories of my helping my grandmothers back when I was young... that's been a year or two since I am 75 now. I have taught my daughters how to can and preserve food. You never know when they will need this knowledge and besides if we don't pass on the skills we learned (like food preservation, quilting, gardening and so many others) they will disappear completely. Back when, many generations lived together or at least near each other and all these skills were shared. Just as the husbands and fathers passed down their skills to their sons, the mothers passed down the homemaking skills. We have lost so much to "modern" times. Luv ya!! Just keep on keeping on and I will keep on watching.

[@StrangeRealityVlog]

We lost every potato we planted because of all the rain here. I am soooooo sad. :(. I sure hope I can come across a good bargain like you did. I sure wish I had a place I could put a root cellar. Well, we do have a place quite a ways away from the house, but we need a backhoe to get the job done. Our ground is too hard for the old shovel method. Perhaps one day. God bless you Teresa!

I am convinced that metal, like your potato buckets is the most effective way to store things! Translating that into the kitchen, I've discovered that aluminum foil is my best friend! I wrap my deli meat in foil, and it lasts at least 3 days longer! I wrap half used onions in it, and it doesn't give off odor in the fridge, etc. The uses are endless! Lol, even in the case of aluminum trash barrels, we discovered that they hold down the odor much better than rubber cans! Love all the beautiful colored jars in your canning storage room

I live in the Las Vegas area which gets very hot during late Spring to early fall. My daughter had canned chicken that she didn’t have room to take when she moved to Florida. My garage gets over 115 degrees during the summer and my husband placed these jars in the garage without realizing the "heat" problem on canned foods. When I found the jars I was concerned if they would still be good to eat so of course I did what every canner does and I checked for the seal, smell test and chicken was still like any of my other newly canned chicken!

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

Hello Tessie, nice video, I have a partly underground garage. No windows, perfect place for root veggies. I really don't care for canned potatoes. I never tried to freeze any.

I have lost a lot of potatoes to sprouting over the years. I am glad to know how to keep them. Thanks Tessie. Perhaps if we move in the near future we will have an area just for my canned and stored items. I would like to share with you guys that I was blessed with a gift of 45 canning jars and a brand new water bath canner. It is the tiniest little thing. I have not seen one this tiny on any of the youtubers that I watch. My angel is a family whose daughter is a very close friend to my youngest daughter and has been since the 6th grade. Her parents and I got to be friends through our daughters. Sheila has gotten some health issues and no longer cans so she gifted hers to me because she knows that I help out with my grandkids. She is such a sweet lady, her and her daughters even washed all the jars before bringing them. When her daughter Jamie was small she was very careful of who she allowed her to hangout with but she told me that she like my daughter Kaleigh because she could tell that she was raised right. And she always allowed Jamie to come to my house. That made me feel good. Anyway Kaleigh and Jamie are 24 and still best friends. lol

My husband and brother in law go through fifty pounds in no time. They are out cutting hay today. Happy 4th! We raise grass fed beef for breeding stock. Looking forward to watching your chanel.

Thank you, Tessie for all the info. You really got a great deal on those potatoes too. I have never seen them at that price. Well at least not yet. Take care all and may you see God's blessings today!

I love seeing canned goods like this, just a beautiful video, thank you.

[@missreynolds3637]

Thank you for the great video and advice. I live in Tx and we only use window units in some of the house. I was asking on my canning group about this, as I just started canning last Dec. My kitchen faces N. so it's pretty dark in there and the a/c is only on when I'm in the kitchen. So far my jars have not (thank the Lord) unsealed. Today it was pretty hot in the kitchen and living area. I do keep ceiling fans running also. Your video was very informative to me. Great price on the potatoes as well. I love sales. God Bless and Thank you. P/S I saw your life changing video, it made me cry like a baby so happy for you.

Great information! I have a small building that I am turning into my food storage building! Going to insulate this week's and it has two windows. Going to get a few of those buckets also. Thanks Tessie

[@owen4248]

Good Morning Kimberly, That's great you have a small building to turn into your food storage building. Yes insulation is key and always good to have windows for ventilation. Have a wonderful Friday my friend. I miss you:)

Thanks so much for this video Tess! I really appreciate you sharinf this info because I live in a tropical country and preservation it is harder than usual ;)

Thanks for the good tips! 🥔🤗🌼

[@dirtybird6669]

Yo! Been living in Houston for 34 out of 38 years, and most everyone is *totally dependent* on luxuries and there is little in the way of applied knowledge. My lights got cut off about 15 days ago and I've been trying to adapt ever since. Coming from a metropolis, I realize I really don't have any survival skills, just heartiness and a will to learn and work. Your channel looks badass. I look forward to more opportunities to learn common sense tips. Keep it up..

[@deborahcrutchfield5022]

Love this idea , I am going to do this . First time seeing this video. You are so smart Sweet lady.

[@sallygordin2869]

Another great video. Love your baskets!! Have a blessed day!!

[@jemmiestone3496]

Good info Tessie. I live in an apartment and not able to store food well. But I am able to can a few things. Your Pantry Room looks awesome. God Bless You and Your Family. Hugggs

[@Barbara-ki7uk]

[@uphillhomestead6188]

Wow! This is a great deal! Thanks for sharing.

[@elizabethhendriks9030]

Thank you for this video. I so want to learn canning. I have a cool dark place I can dedicate to storage. This was super helpful. I also went to your link and purchased the 6 gallon metal Behron’s covered bucket. Thank you for teaching about not putting newer potatoes on top of older sprouted ones..I did not know that!😊

[@laureencortese8588]

Great information my dear. I bet you get so much joy of seeing all your hard work on the shelf. Fantastic pantry 🥰♥️

[@countreegirl]

[@yohanesliong4818]

Thank you for making this informative video!

[@brightstarr57]

Great points! Enjoyed video a lot!

[@SL-kd9zw]

Hi Tessie, had to go back and watch again about storing potatoes. Thank you. Gotta get some of those metal containers with lids. I think I can store them in a room in our basement that doesn't have a window and stays cooler. 😊

[@HomesteadTessie]

Yes a Basement is perfect !!!!
