Good Morning beautiful day hello 👋🏾

[@janicerowberry9115]

I love your videos. One thing I’ve found with onions is turn on your ceiling fan or when I’m canning I set a small fan to blow away for me and my eyes don’t burn.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I'm so happy to have a video up for you today! I've missed you all and hope the last few weeks have treated you well. Due to the changes with KZbin going forward my comments will be held for review. If you don’t see your comment right away, hang tight and I’ll have it approved as soon as I can.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and family with us. My husband and I have also adopted. We have four kiddos we got through the foster system out here in so. California. You are inspiring and I appreciate how real and honest you are. It can be lonely being a foster mom. It's nice to find something so relatable in your family. God's blessing be with you. I pray for peace and love for your kiddos, especially through thier loss.

[@angelacross2216]

This reminds me of when my kids were young. I’d make six loaves of bread at a time, because that’s how many I could fit in the oven. When they were cooled I would put them all into the freezer in a bin bag. We could defrost a loaf in the microwave for three minutes and it tasted like fresh from the oven. Each batch lasted almost a week.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I need more bread pans! Great idea.

My Garden is right beside my hayfield too. The BEST thing I ever bought was a polyweave garden cover(recommended by Living Traditions homestead...my next favourite channel), It gave me an almost 100% weed free garden. It is a little pricey but will last for several years if taken up for the Ontario winter. You can buy online or I think I also found it at Lowes. It is NOT fabric weed cover but a woven poly plastic that allows sun and water through but kills weed growth...

Nice to watch another video from you! Since mayonnaise often comes in plastic bottles, it is easy to make and would help reduce plastic. It takes about 10 min to make enough to fill the bottle you have in this video. I figured out how to make ketchup as well. I am interested in your one rise method of bread making.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Excellent plan! Thanks.

[@LisaCarroll_1959]

I just happened upon your channel today and binged watch for several hours. Chelsea, I think I can help you with cutting onions with a tip I learned long ago in home ec, which has helped me ever since! Basically what you do is take the onion and cut both ends off while keeping it under cold running water. Peel the outer layers while under the cold water as well and you’ll be tear free from now on!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

If this works for me you will be my hero!! Welcome to my channel, I’m glad you’re here!!

Sorry for your loss.. Try putting your onion in the freezer for about 5 mins or a little longer it's suppose help not make your eyes water.🙂

[@carriem7832]

A tip from a past chef, put your onions in a fridge and they won’t be so strong....try some ranch dressing in your egg salad, my customers loved it mixed with mayo.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much!!!

[@pattibouchard7832]

When you cut your onion just trim the root don't cut it off it creates the chemical reaction that makes you cry my German chef taught me that 20 years ago do all your cutting then remove the root stem last ❣️👍😉

[@4philipp]

Never heard of zucchini relish but sounds like a great way to preserve a vegetable that grows like a weed and spoils the day after harvest. Lol As simple as egg salad can be, using ingredients that are in abundance or at hand is a great way to keep things interesting. Since I’m newly lactose intolerant and can’t eat sour cream, I use mayonnaise for salads, dips and even cooking. Love plenty in my egg salad Wow, Goth pop. I have to look that up it sounds interesting. That bread, looks mouthwatering delicious. Slap some real butter on it...yum. I filmed an unboxing a couple weeks ago, tuned into 1h9m - not easy staying on point. Maybe that’s where editing comes in. Doubt that can be done on a phone.

[@elfwoodadventures2103]

Condolences and prayers to you all. To not cry while cutting onions, my grandmother would put a small piece of bread in her mouth. Works for me, but not all people. You can freeze your onion or cut under running water to also keep from crying.

My sincere condolences for the loss of a grandmother. Prayers and hugs for everyone. Thanks for the egg salad recipe. Zucchini relish sounds wonderful. I've put apples and raisins in egg salad even though it's a savory egg salad that I make. I'm a teeny bit surprised you don't have a bread maker amongst the kids. :) I first tasted rhubarb two years ago, but I planted it in my food forest, too. I hear that it works as a funnel to direct water to the trees if you plant it at the foot of the baby trees, so that's what I did.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I was actually thinking about you when I was talking about it. I think it was you who first got me on the idea of a food forest. If you’re comfortable I’d love to see pictures of what you’ve done. I really have no idea and I could use some inspiration.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

@@LittleMountainRanch I will happily show you what I have, but my current food forest is still under construction! I moved to my property in 2014, and didn't start planting until 2016 - and then, just in baby steps because this ecoregion is so new and mysterious to me. Right now, everything is still mostly dormant. I'll take some photos, post them to Facebook, and send you a link. My favorite temperate food forest "teachers" are * Martin Crawford (UK; kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5Kcd3uBrZummq8) * Stefan Sobkowiak (Canada; kzbin.info/door/ufnDvlHF9NHzEL4c3ECZUA and kzbin.info/aero/PL2KDEvIH0SXwAklr68xNXRICkYTU_a_tm) * Sean (Shawn?) at Edible Acres (USA; kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5mqYqSJbdCMhck) Did I send you a bibliography? The *best* reference book I have on food forests is *_Edible Forest Gardens_* (2 volume set) by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier (www.amazon.ca/Edible-Forest-Gardens-2-Set/dp/1890132608). It's very expensive, took me a full year to read (I read extremely quickly at over 600 wpm, but the information in these two books is very dense). It's an invaluable reference guide, explaining not only how, but _why_ which makes it easier to implement on a specific locale. Another invaluable reference book in my library is *_Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, 2nd Edition_* by Toby Hemenway (www.amazon.ca/Gaias-Garden-Guide-Home-Scale-Permaculture/dp/1603580298) This one is much more affordable and more accessible, but not as comprehensive. My first (self-imposed) rule is to plant what either I or my animals will actually eat, and those plants which supports the plants we want to eat. I tend to pick as many native plants as I can to fill the niches, and I am currently adding lots of flowers to attract the pollinators and beneficial insects. For example, I try to plant lupins near my fruit trees. I love lupins (it's the state flower of my home state) in and of themselves, but they are perennial and fix nitrogen, so can help feed my fruit trees. _Lupinus polyphyllus_ is native to Western Washington and Western BC, so I planted several last year, though it looks like only a couple survived. They apparently don't do well in full sun on my property. I'm trying to design an edible fedge (fence + hedge) that will guide the deer and bear (etc.) away from my gardens and food forest, but will give them something to replace their natural forage. I believe we have to be good stewards for the wild critters we displace. We must coexist with all life. I'm planting LOTS of culinary and medicinal herbs around the trees this year, as well, in hope of distracting insect pests by masking the fruit tree scents. I'll let the annuals self seed this first year to establish themselves, and start harvesting next year. I've been planting lots of berries lately. Ribes - currants and gooseberries - are foreign to me, but seem to do very well here and are delicious. I'm also planting lots of raspberries, huckleberries, and other native berries.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I value your comments on this topic so much! I don't know why, but the way you write really resonates and inspires me. I have such a clear picture now of what I need to do. It's going to be slow baby steps, but the long term goal is becoming clear. Thank you, my friend.

[@kirstenwhitworth8079]

@@LittleMountainRanch Slow baby steps are my preferred speed in a food forest. Lots of observation and experimentation. It helps if you can propagate your own plants. There aren't any hard and fast rules, except try to plant vertically as well as horizontally. In my last food forest (in Texas), I put in trap crops to lure pests away from the plants I wanted to harvest. E.g., parsley. I'm trying to plant tons of parsley because I use alot of it, but I know that other creatures love it too. So I'm planting way too much of it as borders around many beds. I'm putting in aromatic herbs - mostly annuals like dill, cilantro, etc. which tend to be in the either of the families Asteraceae ("like asters" (or daisies)) or Apiaceae ("of the bees"). So, when these herbs bolt and flower, they attract different kinds of pollinators and beneficial predators like wasps. I'll let them go to seed so I don't have to plant them next year, and will probably have a better harvest anyway. Last year, I planted echinacea, monarda and lupins around the fruit trees and hazel bushes. I put in a gooseberry and a witch hazel. I thought I'd plant squash as a groundcover. Apparently, I get too much sun (what‽ how is that possible this far north‽) because most of the squash and several flowers turned into crispy shreds - unless they had shade. This year, I am trying strawberries as ground cover, and the sun-loving mediterranean and southern European herbs in hope of keeping them from frying again. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not afraid to make mistakes BECAUSE I'm taking baby steps; my mistakes won't break the bank, but they will bring me insight into my particular plot of land. I really love your channel, and I really want to see you succeed in building resiliency and "explosive abundance" as my Permaculture teacher says. Thank YOU, my friend. :)

No, you didn't miss it. I still haven't finished a few things and really wanted to film it once it was completely done. Hopefully soon! Thanks for your patience.

Ya know, a big greenhouse would keep the grass out of your gardening area. lol. JK :)

[@LittleMountainRanch]

LOLOLOL it really would, wouldn't it! ;)

Hearing your timer go off was quite disconcerting as I had some almond bread in the oven baking. :)

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Having alarms going off in my videos seems to be a thing of mine.😉

No onions🎉 in my egg salad. Sorry.

Do you make your own Peanut Butter and Jelly?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I make all our jams and jellies, but it’s more expensive for me to make peanut butter than to buy it. I found a company who uses glass instead of plastic, too!

Have you done your video on your bread? I can’t seem to find it. If not, could you post the recipe somehow? Thank you.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I haven't, but I will be doing one when I get into my winter cooking videos.

[@aurawright2130]

Little Mountain Ranch I will be looking forward to it! 🙂👍🏼
