Hi Donzell, hope that you’re having a great week!

I love your garden! Thank you for sharing this video! I really enjoyed it✨

It’s more of my husband’s doing. I do help him out a lot though. It’s actually a community garden that he plants and tends and all vegetables are given to all that want them, FREE OF CHARGE!!!

Hey Bestie!! I’ve been awaiting your appearance in the comments. The broccoli did grow quite large, but we didn’t use steroids 🤣😂 As for canning, I do not know how to do that but would love to learn. I grew up seeing my grandma and mom store veggies like greens, beans and peas in the freezer using freezer bags. Have a blessed weekend Bestie!!!🥰

I like how you clean the broccoli with water and vinegar. Then you put them in freezer bags so they can be stored in there. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure 😊

Thank you for the information and you reminded me of my grandmother's and aunts. But they didn't have a vacuum sealer .

[@simplycookingwithshawn]

You’re welcome. The vacuum sealer is a great tool, however growing up my grandma, aunties nor my mom had one. They would prepare vegetables for freezer storage by putting them in freezer bags and it worked great. I do still store some things in traditional freezer bags. Thanks for watching.
