Mam you’re wonderful! I’m an old Arkansas boy that found your video shorty after you made! You showed the vidalia chopper and I thought I have to have one. It’s fine tool to add to the pantry! This video help me make my first batch of chow chow. I’ve never forgot you but did forget how to find this video. Your recipe is as straight forward as it can be! I so glad I found you again. What do think about adding cauliflower with the cabbage as well as more green tomatoes? I bet you made more of your delicious chow with with zucchini and squash?
I think the ball lids say a year to 18 months is what they guarantee the seal once they know but like you, I know products that I’ve gotten my house or yet did have that were 78 years old and just fine
Canned cabbage is mushy…. And unfortunately it’s not a USDA approved food to can. I am well aware we can do what we want in our own homes but I think that it is important for people to understand what is safe.
I think this is the first video I have seen of a home Solar Electric System made by a woman. I think it's great! We need more women in this space. Please tell us why you decided to go this route, and how did you learn about it all?
If you have a stream on the property, you can use an inexpensive, homemade, self running, non electric, stream powered Ram Pump made from a few plumbing supplies. Even if the stream is quite a ways away, and lower than your tanks. There are lots of youtube videos about this. It can pump the stream water quite far uphill and if there's nearby spring, a double acting ram pump can pump just the spring water.
Thank you for the video. I am hoping you can help me. I can not find the Sieva (Carolina) butter bean anywhere. If you have any would you be willing to send me a few?
I would like to know why the plants bolt? I have certain lettuce which is red romaine and a mixed lettuce bought them from Lowe’s and put them in different locations and they all bolted. Wondering why that would happen?
I think your heirloom machine may not have been new in 1911 because it looks older than my 1911, yours looks more like 1890s. I use and covet my Davis vertical feed because it is basically a walking foot design excellent for quilting, leatherwork and upholstery. I prefer a treadle because they are easier to stop and start and do it more smoothly. Oh your treadle wheel sounds like it is missing some ball bearings or is just in need of adjustment. The machine has oil stains which means it was well lubricated. I also own a Davis Bicycle and they used standard bicycle ball bearings so I doubt that there’s any big issue with it . I would dust it off, oil it, throw a belt on it, if you haven’t already. It’s a real blessing and I hope you are already enjoying it!
Why skim the cream? We tilt the jar so the spigot is the lowest point. We drain the milk into a different container then when the milk is gone, we drain the cream through the he spigot. Works like a champ.
