“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm. Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds - you will reap all of the days golden grains. Eat more green - you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quiet a lot, speak little - and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.” Saint Seraphim of Sarov

[@helenmarshall5705]

Eggs on the counter is so picturesque too.

[@janehutchinson9860]

They don’t need refrigeration?

[@joannelambert2635]

@@janehutchinson9860 here in the uk most people don't put their eggs in the fridge as they don't need it if just washed and shells in tact, but our eggs are nearly all brown like Jess has there. not white like i understand you get from a us store, my understanding is in the us the way they commercially clean the eggs makes the shells thinner.

[@tonyaciuba547]

@@joannelambert2635 Here in the US the store bought eggs are pasteurized, so they have to be refrigerated afterwards. The eggs are usually white because most poultry farms use the white leghorn breed (good layers and don't require as much food as heavy breeds). White leghorns lay white eggs. Some use brown egglayers like sexlinks or Rhode Island Reds. Those are usually marketed as organic cage free even though the color of the eggs are dependent on the breed of chicken. Personally, I prefer to raise my own chickens and have a variety of colored eggs without the pasteurization and added chemicals.

[@adaoust2127]

A friend of mine who is Hungarian makes something similar at the end of the season. He uses a base of shredded cabbage and add sliced cukes, shredded carrots ,onions, cauliflower even green tomatoes, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and toss it and taste. Leave it overnight to marinate. Next day, he jars the veg and seal the jars quickly in a boiling bath as per usual. It is delicious pickled salad to clean up your garden!!

It's a little extra work but we hold lettuce leaves up to the light of our kitchen window or a bright ceiling light. You can see thru the leaves to the other side. Even a very small bug can be spotted this way.

[@bizzyplaying9856]

I do the same thing with cook books. Love going to small towns and buying the local cook books.

[@frankmichaeladams8868]

A very good alternative to salt is a little dishwashing soap. It kills the bugs, they float up to the top of the water. A good rinsing will remove any soap flavor.

[@brendalouquilts]

I have started making pickled eggs....really easy and I love to cut them up in salads or even make a sandwich with them. And I fill up the jars with extra carrot slices and onions. yums!

I am so glad you made this video! The slugs have been so bad for me this year! I can't even tell you how many of them are in my lettuce and it is to the point where I don't even want to eat it I am so grossed out. I will just make sure I wash it very well.

[@roonique4592]

I've had gem lettuces from supermarkets that have had bugs in them. Found my fair share of slugs and caterpillars in the packaging. I just pick the lil suckers off and chuck them out in the garden, Then obviously rinse off the lettuce. No biggie :)

[@thebuddinghomemaker]

[@KillahBCS]

You should grow aji ahuachapan or bubba peppers, they grow and produce super fast. I already have harvests here in Colorado

[@freshorangina]

When I moved cities about 12 years ago I got an organic box. In my lettuce there was a slug. It was a flashbulb moment for me; I thought about why this happy little slug was here, and I had never seen anything alive in my lettuce before. That’s when the amount of poison on our food became very apparent to me. It would be another 5 years or so after that, that I started my journey into gardening. 💗

[@ambersykora352]

Sluggo is a natural organic slug and snail killer. It's just iron phosphate. They're little pellets, that do better actually with rain...they absorb the rain and make it easier for slugs or snails to eat it. Upon consumption, they stop eating it makes them wiggle off and starve to death. And the pellets last a pretty long time. They also have a version with spinosad that kills pill bugs, earwigs, etc

[@gailgreenberg6953]

So, I use white vinegar in water to wash off bugs and unwelcome guests from the garden. Could I use salt water and vinegar, do you think? Love this video too. My GSD loves carrots. Every time I make something with carrots in it, he's there just hoping to get one! Later today I'll be making sauerkraut!

When my husband and I were first married we had to go away over lunchtime, so I made my husband a sandwich for the road. I ran to the garden and grabbed some lettuce and quickly rinsed them off. I looked the leaves over quickly but not thoroughly. My husband was happily munching on his sandwich and suddenly stopped eating and pulled something out of his mouth. It was a slug. He said it didn't taste bad but he thought the ham was awfully gristley and chewy. I was mortified for about 3 seconds but then I thought it was hilarious. I still do. Good thing he has a good sense of humour and is forgiving.

I always recommend parents of young children plant potatoes. You can plant store bought, so it's nothing fancy, but I always thought harvesting them was like digging for treasure!

Your point with Organic vegetables at the grocery store is so true! I was pursuing a biology degree and we learned "organic" food is a myth as something can be sprayed/added to the food after the harvest and have it still be considered organic, and its mainly advertised as such for the price tag. Growing your own food is the only true way to know what is happening to it during the process. Thank you so much for everything you share with us!
