My bunny refused to eat the sunflower 🌻 seeds from his box of treats. I was able to germinate them and transplant to my garden. On January 18th they were 4 ft tall with multiple flowers. I started romaine lettuce for him as well several weeks ago. I kept one on my lanai and it is now ready to harvest. I guess I don't need to transplant everything. We now have 12 hours of light.

Spring is here as well. Upper 60s all this week! Snow gives you that nitrogen that your not getting in there from not being rained on. Once the soil thaws it will absorbe that nitrogen and help plants grow better! Might want to do it again if you have snow left once this batch melts into the soil!

[@ratherbeonthemoon]

you should build a "winter door" in the middle of that door.. Just smaller and 1 foot off the bottom of the existing door for easy access when the snow is built up

[@pennykafai9601]

Hi, I am from the UK so we don’t get a lot of snow the winter so far we haven’t had any. Today I was in my back yard doing a bit of a clean up ready to plant up my flower tubs and bordered. My husband is in charge of the fruit and vegetables in the 3 plots of land we rent which is a common thing in the uk - to rent an allotment the rent is only £5 per plot per year so nothing at all. It is where we keep our hens and my husbands greatest love- pigeons!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us.x

[@kealilasok14]

I love watching you two doing things around the house, especially food related videos where you're making food to store, using up food you've already stored and just planning out meals and the upcoming season. This video really helped me relax after a hard day.

When processing large amount of garlic, I found pouring hot water over them for just a minute, they peel much easier. It doesn't affect the texture, but I mostly dehydrate it for powdered garlic.

So I just wanted to let you know my daughter got a kidney. With the grace of God, He has blessed us with all the doctors and nurses that have been helping her. We have been staying at the Fisher House at Walter Reed since February 3, 2022. Once she is on track and safe to go home I am gonna get my butt to work with my garden this year. I missed it last year due to rotator cuff surgery and man that recovery was pretty long. Watching you and your passion for gardening, with your husband getting things ready for the short summer keeps me going. Especially suck here just hoping to start my seeds, when I get to go home. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@kirstenlabenne8992]

I have been watching your videos back to back and rewatching them. I am going to be trying to be more conscious and more frugal this year and this has to be one of the top channels here in my opinion. I don’t remember if you two already do this but I’ve found that if you mix both flowers and vegetables together they grow better and bees seem to pollinate better. Ive seen more bees last year than previous years. Waiting till it gets a bit warmer before I really start to get the seedlings outside. Growing everything that my garden can possibly hold. I have a feeling that I might have to use pots for some of them.

[@jeanmuehlfelt7942]

Good job on the moisture quilt in the bee hives. A typical hive full of bees will give off four gallons of moisture during the winter. 🙂

I have been so inspired by your growing videos...I started with an herb garden many years ago, and in watching you two, I branched out in my tiny space (I rent an apartment in the Boston suburbs) and last year my brother built me 3 giant raised beds where I grew almost everything I needed to make tomato sauce and salsa. The one thing I hadn't tried to grow before is garlic, which I planted last fall and am hoping I'll see start to come up as it warms up over the next month or so. If that comes in, I'll have everything I need for two of my favorite foods, so fingers crossed!

I just started summer crops indoors. I did have to put some low hoops and plastic over them when we got a 20°F night recently, but they should be good to go!

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but an idea for extra garlic and now that you have honey from the bee's is to do is what is called "100 year garlic in honey." It is a fermenting process, but is great for immunity support. I very much enjoy watching your Alaskan Adventure.

Love your channel, the pickled eggs brought back memories of my childhood in Louisiana, momma would boil dozens of eggs for Easter, we would dye them all different colors, and have egg knocking contests on Easter Sunday, (it was a blast).

have you tried making aun dried tomatoes? its really simple it just takes time. cut tomatoes in half or four depends on the size, then sprinkle salt on them, and leave them on the sun or dehydrate them for 8 hours at 175 after they are dry, boil them in white vinegar for a minute and strain, put on a paper towel to dry again. after they are dry, put them in a mason jar and put some minced garlic in, some black pepper and top them with olive oil. let them rest for a week.

[@villagesteader3552]

For us it has been all about raised beds, last year my husband decided he wanted to start a regular in ground plot. He started small because the soil is stony and heavy with clay…it got smaller once he broke ground and everyone laughed cuz it looked to be the size of a grave! He amended the soil and he had such good results that we are going much bigger this year, but no predictions will be made as to the final dimensions of the plot!🤣😂♥️👍🙏🇺🇸

I'm always so excited about spring. I have sown seed every year for well over thirteen years. This summer I moved to a place where I have my own garden for the first time in my adult life. After only having containers on terraces and verandas I'm super stoked to have this opportunity. I'm going to change half of my lawn into producing food and finally, I can grow purely decorative plants too. So many firsts for me: My own compost heap, lawncare, trimming a hedge. I'm in Norway zone 4 so I'm excited to see the abundance you two grow for yourself in Alaska. I get so inspired by watching this!

Have you ever looked into using the natural occurring heat from compost to keep your chickens and your high tunnel warmed? Ive seen people use their chicken yard as a compost factory of sorts, and the amount of compost is enough to be really warm and warm up the chickens in colder seasons.

Great to see 👀 your beez🐝 are doing well👍 I start all my seeds in 18oz square bottom Solo cups (square bottom because they are more stable than the round bottom). I put in 2 seeds per cup. I thinly clip the four corners of each cup with scissors so the cup can drain or uptake water/liquid fertilizer (fish oil) as needed. I put these cups in non-draining flats. I keep the seed starter soil moist from the bottom and the top. My seed starting flats will hold (15) 18oz Solo cups. I feed these starts in the flats, from the bottom. I had very good luck with this last year, and I love that I don't have to do anything with transplanting until the starts go into the growbags and containers. This would be workable for people that have a small amount of starts, and limited area for heat mats and grow lights. I start about 120 plants on (2) 48"x 20" heat mats. The mats sit on a "table/bench" made of (3) 12ft x 12" treated boards that are supported by 2 sawhorses. This is set up in my garage. I drop grow lights (4 footers) down from overhead beams on chains and hooks that can be adjusted as high or low as needed. (no more leggy plants/starts) I'm in Zone 6 and will be starting seeds in the next week or so. You can do all I do in a space that is a little more than 8 foot x 20 inches. The rest of the space on this12ftx3ft "table" is used for cutting wood/tools etc. etc. Hope this helps someone, or I just wasted a lot of space on the Interwebz🤣🙃 Take care Eric & Arielle☃

I just made up a batch of pickled eggs this past weekend (two 18 packs). I use nearly the same recipe but i add a couple sprigs of fresh dill to each jar. Love seeing the food videos! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

Don’t you just love spring prep? I get so excited over the possibilities when sowing seeds! I’ve started my tomato plants, the same reason you start onions, it’s cost effective. You have inspired me to try pickled eggs! That brine looks amazing! Between the soup, the fresh bread and garlic the smell must be amazing! I also use frozen garlic because mine didn’t have a great shelf life. It’s so convenient and delish!so glad you guys like rhubarb. I love it! When I plant seeds that have that tough shell, i.e. okra, my grandfather taught me to soak them in buttermilk. I know weird, but it works! Thank you for taking a moment to show us softly falling snow, sleeping fur babies, kitty paw prints and chatty chickens. I wish that you guys had a TV program, all things Alaska, no drama, no artificial anything! You guys could write your own Alaska homesteading guide! This girl loves your channel! Many thanks! 🙌🏻👏🏻

Everytime I feel lazy about my city lifestyle, I am gonna replay the scene where you are peeling garlics. So much work!! 🤣

Wiwam Was . Akuratnie ten filmik otworzył mi sie na dzień dobry. Życzę Wam pieknego i miłego dnia z dalekiej Polski. Powodzenia w Waszych działaniach. Podziwiam Wasz upór i determinację. Nie jest to dyskraminacja mężczyzny co teraz napiszę ale jestem pełem podziwu dla Pani, która raczej nie ustepuje w działaniach a a Panu zazdroszczę znajomości wszelkich przepisów tak kulinarnych jak i w przetwórstwie.
