Something about Daniel eating that little strawberry made my heart melt. I'm glad he's healing. He seems like such a lovely guy - looking forward to him being included on the tour video! Love from Scotland x

[@janispool8108]

So good to see Daniel is doing well!! I've been praying for him since the accident and wondering about him. He carries so much love with him. Surely a kind soul.

[@melissajarvis4829]

EDIT: Ok. I was impatient and commented before the end of the video. She explained about the accident. Please ignore my question below! I get that they're friends... I've even seen him in a "White House on the Hill" video, rapping in a seed store at a convention. But, I keep seeing comments saying they're glad he's healing. Could someone please explain from what? Thanks!

[@ollientropy9629]

[@TheAbsoluteultimate1]

I just love Daniels smile! It’s so infectious

[@TheSare423]

When I had my bees I would sit and watch the traffic in and out of the hives, for hours. One day God showed me, through the bees, an understanding of micro/macrocosm...life changing lessons sitting by my hives...I loved when the light would hit them like that, they looked like magical glitter pouring in and out of the hives.

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

I love farm related revelation!

[@ontariogardening]

I must have missed it- what happened to him?

[@mccormickshiddenhomestead1147]

I seriously thought to myself, praise God when I saw Daniel using the scissors. I remember hearing about being able to play music due to the wreck. Those leaves are MASSIVE!! Why was, your hand popping out of the squash-ness monsters belly, the funniest thing ever? Love y'all to bits!!

[@LadyMordhaus]

Oh Daniel it is wonderful to see you. I do hope you are feeling better.

[@GardeningWithLauren]

It’s so good seeing Daniel doing so well! Praise the Lord! Also I love watching your harvest videos! Please keep sharing when you harvest. They’re some of my favorites! ❤️

Those"Pig zucchini!!" Are the size I grow to shred and freeze for zucchini bread!!

[@melissajarvis4829]

My thoughts exactly!

[@Cindy75K]

Do you flash boil them before freezing? Is it necessary to do that? I love zucchini bread and have a bumper crop of grey zucchini!

[@emilyoffenburg4824]

I do that too!!

[@joyceobeys6818]

The Pervy Prepper I’m not sure she has an oven but this would be a good time to get a toaster over! I love my toaster oven, I hardly even use my large oven since I got the large toaster oven. But there’s only two of us to cook for.

I can mock pineapple with the big ones.

Yes I like to use those big ones for zucchini boats. Clean out the seeds and I use ground Italian sausage and whatever else you want to stuff them with. Yummy!

[@singingfrogfarmlouise9693]

They are great that way. I also slice thick and use like a pizza crust. And also slice thick, marinate in Italian dressing and grill.
