We are keeping a video record of what we plant in our garden, where we plant it, and how much we harvest each year. We also raise chickens, quail, and fish. We are trying to become as self-sufficient as possible in our limited space. We live in a neighborhood. Our garden, fish, quail, and chicken space is about 3,000 square feet total. We wanted to lower our monthly grocery bill and to know where our food is coming from. We want to be able to rely on our own healthy, fresh, homegrown produce and less on processed and packaged food from stores.
I see the comments are all pretty old but i am going to comment anyway. I am planning on leaving these whole through the jarring because that is how my husband likes sweet pickles. Other than the slicing, this recipe is perfect! I purchased my cucumbers from the farm store since I cant get enough cucumbers in one or two pickings and wanted my cucumbers fresh. The cucumbers came in all sizes. I sorted them by size, reserving the smallest ones for sweet pickles. It was nice to be able to put the small pickles in a salt brine to sit for a week while I canned the rest as dill pickles. When those were done, I had a few days to rest before the next step on the sweet pickles!! I have followed you and look forward to more of your videos.
By prayer & fasting, God told me, to add lots of kitty litter boxes, of water, to add, moisture, to dry home air, so add, lots of old coffe cans of water in each room. Raise moisture in air, scuking in dry air on incubator. Add water to rooms
Thunder storm came through laid down. Our corn went out immediately afterwards and healed it all up. Fingers crossed didn’t do any root damage to the 10 foot tall Stocks.
Nice fruit and earlier than I can get here. I'm up here in the Northeast. They looked beautiful though. The vine borers got mine this year and I didn't get any squash or zucchini. I planted new plants and I found a mother moth laying eggs on one the other day, and just like you said I didn't get to it in time to kill it. Darn thing flew away. But I managed to find the eggs and remove them. I did drop one in the soil though 😢
Last summer I used this video to bread and freeze a bunch of okra for frying and they came out absolutely delicious, just what I was looking for! I love them anytime I'm making barbecue. I love the texture that half flour, half cornmeal gives them. This year, I briefly panicked when my okra started coming in and I couldn't find this video. I did end up finding it, and now have it saved to a playlist so it's always there when I need it. Love your easy-to-follow, simple instructions and would love to see if you all have other similar ones for other garden ingredients!
Hey I just found your recipe. And I was wondering if on the last day if you tried to drain the syrup and heat it up to a boil then add the pickles to heat them , then add to hot jars to get a seal . Would that change the taste or texture.

You've given me hope! We're in Idaho, but a very strong micro-storm came through last night and really laid our corn down. Amazing! Thanks for the video. Good growing!!
I do not grow our corn in straight lines because of the area that I have to grow them in and the wind takes them down and I am trying a lot of ways to keep them standing, I am wondering... if it would harm them if I hilled soil around them?
I am making my second batch of these. They are so delicious and am so thankful I found you and your channel. I look forward to more videos from you and your hubby.
Be sure to get the brand name Solo cups as I got the store brand, and by the time the plants were ready to transplant, several of the cups were split/cracked ad not reusable. I just put a Roma out in the garden. My first garden that isn't in 5 gal buckets! I feel like a real gardener now. Your plants are beautiful. I love the smell of tomato plants.
Hello - great, straight forward information. Me - new to this specifically, been reading about impatiens suffering from foot rot. However, I see this allot - impatiens for Bogs. So, my guess is (and don't see this, so am asking to confirm my supposition :) ) -- this works because the water is moving and oxygenated. Meaning, the root rot is if in soil and not oxygenated, refreshed, bot bad bacteria takes hold and does what soil does, breaks stuff down back into soil, what they call "rot"). I see this is all from 6 years ago, and the "beauty" of it - becoming re-relevant for years to come; I hope you don't mind. I also realize that, that could be why I don't get a response - I get it; but, I might, so ask. Mine will be a "wild life" pond, no fish, just whomever may show up, if at all. I understand that just the circulation pump and pond-rocks may be enough for my intent. However, I feel, if even had to "feed" the plant since no fish for the ammonia cycle to proceed - I'm fine with that or may find another plant. I understand impatiens take very little Nitrogen, may even suffer if "over fed" that. So, thank you if you can confirm, point me to notes on the internet about this. I guess, if it's working - that's all that matters.
Just watching your video for the first time. Noticed the weights came from a city about 30 minutes away from my home. Thanks for the video. My grandmother that made sweet pickles all the time, passed when I was 19. I didn't get a chance to learn many of her recipes and home canning techniques.
What wood alternative could I use to create a similar flavour as pecan, as I live in the UK and we do not have this available (unless we pay a very high price for a US import) thank you!
What a great recipe--thank you for sharing your family favorite--those are just the best recipes. I was given a few cukes from my d-i-l and figured roughly what to use for my 2.5# cukes. Today was the day to drain and drench in sugar and spices. I snitched some after they created some syrup---they are SO good! I used an old stainless steel bowl and put a plate on top of it for a weight--worked out fine. Now I am inspired to go to the farmers market and get more. And I'll be ordering a crock very soon!
