Your garden is looking great! I know all about that hot weather as we were in the upper 90's all last week and with no AC it was miserable!🥵 Your niece is a hard worker! Have a great week! God bless you!
Your super helpful & patient granchild is getting a great edcducation. Perfect timing with the bug spray- staying for a few days in hot & humid Kentucky- thank you!
my first time using this for my garden. im new to it. but i delude it with water as well... i think i should try it twice a week because of the heat. tomatoes and jalapenos plants
This is my favorite fertilizer that I use every year! You don’t have to worry about burning your plants with this stuff. I have only used this once a week on my plants but let us know how it works for your plants. Happy Gardening!
My goodness, you and Matthew have been busy! And it looks like you had a good little helper with you!😊 Everything is looking good. Thank you for the recipes and ideas. Have a great weekend! God bless you!
Yes we sure have been swamped lately, But this is the norm for us in the spring and summer. I do have a good helper for a few weeks, my niece is visiting for a bit to learn about taking care of animals and gardening, Its a good learning experience for her.
I love your videos, they're always packed full with tips on cooking, gardening & everything enjoyable. And you put the recipes in the notes so all I have to do is take a screen shot. Thank you! 😊
Just wanted to say hello from Hamlet NC & to let your family know I really enjoy watching you guys build your sweet life together! You have such a sweet spirit & wonderful tips, I have used a lot of your recipes & tips ! Thanks for sharing, have a beautiful week ❤
Do I need the pectin, or can I just cook it longer? I do have sure jel so would that work instead of pectin. btw, I like the way you blended it all up 1st :) Sorry for the questions but I'm new to all this. Thanks
I’m not sure how long you’d have to cook it for because I’ve never tried it but I really don’t see a reason why you couldn’t do that. That’s how a lot of people make there jams. Yes you can use sure jel instead of pectin.😊
Just found your channel. I'm watching all the recipes videos . I have made a few home made pantry staples but always looking for new ideas . Where did you get that jar lid opener ?
Matthew is a handy man. He did a great job on the chicken tractor. I don't know anything about raising chickens except for what I've seen on your channel so I had to look up what a chicken tractor was lol I've really enjoyed all of your videos! I live in Ohio. Have a great week! God bless you!
Still on my top five channels. When I am on vacay next month I'm going to binge you and make some of your mixes and im going to try your yogurt that looks e😊any enough to do thanks
So sorry the raccoon got into your garden containers..I have had to change my way of thinking that they need to eat too..this is after having my chickens for 15 years and having many taken over the years by a Fox-Deer eating my tomatoes,rabbits eating my lettuce, a vole eating all my very well established sun choke bed so I do understand the complete frustration. I now have made several changes now to try yo prevent all this. I love making foods from scratch never attempted to make cereal though..My three sons are all adults living on their own so I don’t need to so many things from scratch like I use to. I did just make homemade English muffins a few days ago..I’m not paying $3.99 and up for Thomas English muffins and I live pretty far away from a Aldi where I would pay $1.29..these type of skills is how we can still enjoy our favorite foods without paying the high inflation. I will try your pretzel recipe..I have only made them once and was completely disappointed with the end result way to salty and couldn’t eat them.
I totally agree they do need to eat too! what changes have you made to prevent this besides growing more food to share? I would love extra tips! I try to make most of our foods homemade when I can, due to not only inflation but ingredients as well. Its so hard to find things with clean ingredients these days!
@@richmondsplace - for critters we free range our chickens with supervision. sounds crazy I know. But in order to keep them safe -because they give us eggs every single day its worth it to me to babysit them. I now have a cover over their fenced in run when not free ranging. I planted in different areas .. Im now spilling over onto my dads property.. a boom stick helps the squirrel population from eating all the fruit from my mature fruit orchard.
@@Fritz0616 We free range our chickens too, we lose some here and there but we still do it because they’re happier and the eggs taste better too when they free range.
I'm sorry that the raccoon tore up your garden, hopefully your sweet potatoes will grow good. Your recipes looked so good! It made me tired just watching everything you made lol Have a great weekend! God bless you!
I've been making my own pizza dough from scratch for years. It's very similar to yours. I don't let mine rise very long but I sure could use one of the dough rollers. I'm going to have to hunt for one lol Your pizza looked very good! You had a busy morning! Have a great weekend! God bless you!
