Your kitchen behind you in your intro is so perfect. It looks like an art piece.

[@mommamays8181]

I just found your channel. I love that you show that not everything comes from your garden. I live in a subdivision with limited garden space. I have to find outside resources for things I’m unable to grow myself.

[@annb6532]

WOW!! That look so pretty with all those colors. It will all taste AMAZING this winter!

[@PlowAndPantryHomestead]

I never thought about canning some of the salsa in the small jars to go straight into lunches!!!!! Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@RowCoFarms]

Thanks so much! It actually kind of happened on accident since I ran out of bigger jars that day but when I thought about lunches it made sense to use the smaller jars that I already had. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. ❤️

[@joannathesinger770]

My sweet father passed away today. He was 96 years old. Once I return from the funeral, I will get with the program. (In the midst of it all, I had my gallbladder out August 1st...so this summer has been rough all the way around. The rough part is over.)

[@RowCoFarms]

I’m so sorry for the loss of you father today. Take time to mourn the loss of your father. The world and its baggage can wait. ❤️❤️ I lost my mom many years ago and I know how painful the loss of a parent can be. My heart is with you in the tough days ahead.

I've had fun watching you this month. My garden is just now starting to come in here in the Idaho mountains. Today I'm making cowboy candy and dehydrating the rest of my jalapenos. Plus cutting and canning chicken. I love listening to canners while I work.

It’s such a beautiful display of harvest. You have done a wonderful job. I don’t have a channel but I done quite a bit of canning myself. Not everyday either. It’s a ton of work, but is worth it. I made homemade chili beans just this morning!

[@RowCoFarms]

Any little bit you can do adds up. I am definitely not preserving every single day right now but I am still doing what I can 3-4 days a week. I’m hoping that if I make it more part of my routines throughout the year then it will become easier to stay the course and be more consistent with putting things away. Those chili beans sound amazing. I have never done those before. Maybe on the agenda for this winter when I have a bit more time. ❤️

[@martiestes8932]

I am really enjoying this challenge. It's very encouraging and I love new ways to preserve. I also enjoy Jessica's channel. I do know that next time I make salsa I will try roasting the veggies first. I can only imagine the depth of flavor it increases. You and your family will greatly benefit from your hard work in the months to come. Good job! Another great video! Thanks!

[@Scrappadeedooda]

Hi Julie! Congratulations on all your accomplishments during the month of August! This is inspirational. I’m curious about your settings on the freeze dryer. I also have a large harvest right but it takes so long to dry strawberries and pineapple. I just did a batch this week and cut the strawberries into 4ths and made my pineapple thin (all pre frozen) and it still took 40+ hours. What’s your secret to get it to dry within 24 hours?

[@RowCoFarms]

I have no idea. I am just learning this freeze dryer. I haven’t changed any settings that I’m aware of. I actually should be cutting up some of my fruits into smaller pieces. But as far as the timing goes I have no idea. The machine doesn’t what it doesn’t and I just wait. Sorry that I wasn’t more help!

What recipe, or source, did you use for the Fermented Peppers to make your sauce?

[@RowCoFarms]

Theres no recipe. Its just assorted spicy peppers and a few cloves of garlic. Then use a standard fermenting salt brine. I don't add anything else to it. Hope that helps.

[@wonderingsanna]

Hi! When you put fruits and green onions in the freeze dryer at the same time, can´t the fruit catch a little bit of smell/taste from the onions?

[@RowCoFarms]

I guess it probably could but I haven’t really noticed it with the green onions. I do have to wipe the machine out regularly to eliminate odors from the foods so it stands to reason that the onions or garlic or other foods could do that if they are really strong in flavor. I will have to watch out for this. Thanks for being here!

I will be able to use them, but she has arthritis that isn't super bad... but bad enough she can't open them. so we are looking for ones that aren't quite as difficult, but still provide a seal. Anyone have any recommendations?
