Final Days of Summer | Root Cellar Progress, Hot Sauce and Pickled Peppers 

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!❤ I appreciate every comment so much😊

A very calm and relaxing short film Emily, you're very talented.

Emily, you’ve definitely made a significant amount of progress in several area’s. Your skill set is growing with each season. You’re a very inspiring young lady. Looking forward to the next update. Stay safe, healthy,productive,& blessed.💯❤️👏🏾👍🏾😀🙋🏽‍♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

Hi again EMILY What a beautiful first year garden! You definitely have a green thumb. The root cellar will be an important addition to your place with all of the harvest you will be having. Your location there is reallybeautiful. Thx so much for sharing and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Absolutely gorgeous garden thank you for sharing

I have always found chopping vegetables for canning very soothing, it’s a good time for deep thinking…… I am 75 and used to can oodles, for a long time I stopped but your Dad inspired me to start again. Never stop, Emily!

Whether it’s gardening, pickling, or building, you make it look so easy.

Seeing such an industrious and determined young lady gives me hope for the human race! 😊🌶🍅🍁👍❤

Well done. Your work ethic is phenomenal and you do such a good job. What a skill to have and the opportunity to put it to the test in one so young. Take care, be safe. 💕 Dorset, UK

Hi Emily. Your garden was highly productive this year. Great job on the root cellar. Are you using the mesh shelf for drying herbs? I haven't made hot sauce yet so I'm going to try making it. Thanks for sharing.

Looking great Emily. You have made a ton of progress. I notice things fit pretty snugly there, Great work. I'd have to back off on the hot sauce. Even Franks is getting too spice for my taste buds now. Thanks for letting us tag along here with you. It is nice to see someone really tackle jobs like this, and DO it!!

I love watching you build your cabin in the woods. Good job, Emily.

Emily, you do amazing work and it is encouraging to watch a young person in this day being so independent. Keep up the good work and I know your parents are proud of you. Your mom and dad are great examples for you. I have watched your dads show for years without missing any.

Emily uploaded a video at about same time as Mr James “My Self Reliance”. It’s gonna be an awesome day

As I watch the progress you're making in this type of lifestyle and keeping in mind your city job and school studies (if I'm not mistaken) I can't help but wonder what direction you will take when you arrive at the fork in the road that points to the type of life you must chose to take then. One has to commit to either or, it can't be both, your dad has proven that. So many other factors will be involved, and I am sure that you will be well accomplished in both, but it may be your personal life that tends to be the deciding factor. For now, it is an adventure, a well-enjoyed adventure.

HI EMILY!! YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THE ROOT CELLAR. YOU'VE COME ALONG WAY FROM WHEN I SAW YOU LAST. YOUR DAD SHAWN, HAS TAUGHT YOU WELL. I LOVE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH HIM. WELL HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE NEXT VIDEO, PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY ❤️ 💜 🙏🙏

So happy to see a young lady working so hard for a self sub staining lifestyle! Your garden turned out great and love to see you use every bit of it! Thanks for sharing your root cellar build with us! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

Hi Emily, I hope everything went well for you this summer !

Your cutting board may be kind of small to do this, but with any type of chef knife you leave the tip on the board as if your knife is a lever, and you push the vegetable along with your free hand, under the immobile knife blade. It goes fast, if you just keep your knife tip on the board. Thanks for good, wholesome videos that warm the heart. Regards, from far north California

Happy birthday Emily, many blessings and have a wonderful family dinner. Hope it's been a great day!!!! Richard n Helen Down Unda.

Super jealous of your awesome looking garden Emily! Great Job! It's tons of work but so worth it. My neighbour has a huge garden and this time of year he sets up a massive outdoor kitchen to do his pickling and sauce making, it always smells great on our street when he does it..I hope he makes extra chili sauce this year lol

Love your videos. My family and relatives are from and still live in the Magnetawan and Burks Falls area. Beautiful place.

Good progress..keep it up,this will lead to a great bounty from your garden, down the road!! Great vid,Miss Emily! Thanks for sharing 👍! 👍🧙‍♂️🐺!!!!

did I hear that you are starting a members only? great video again!

As I was watching this video I noticed a thumbnail of one of your other videos from 2 months ago where you just made those garden benches. I thought man there's so much that's happened in the last 2 months. You've made so much progress! You just keep going and going like the energizer bunny lol Great job on the shelves and the door. I see you used Luan plywood for the door. I used that for a simple dresser for my trailer. Was initially going to use that for the siding inside my trailer but opted for Mahogany for the sides and Birch plywood for the ceiling. Hope you're having a great day!

💥👍🌹🌶🫑 A pleasure to watch your videos Emily. Thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking about doing a fermented hot sauce with my chillies - like a Frank's or Tabasco style, but with much, much hotter chillies. Looks like a good harvest for your garden this year. Will you need to have a heat source for the storage shed, given it's not in the ground?

Nice video. You have a lot of energy and drive like your Dad. Wish I had more but I’m a geezer. That’s my excuse anyway. ;)

Happy birthday Emily on your special day. Be well and safe.

Very great video emily great nature thank you so much emily you are the most beautiful woman on earth emily 💪👍😘❤🌹🥰👍thank you ❤

You are incredible at what you do and much respect to your dad for great parenting.

Happy birthday Emily 🎂 may you be blessed with many wonderful years too celebrate with your loved ones 💃🏾👍🏿💯👏🏿🎊🎉💐

Thank you , Emily . 🐺

Happy Birthday Emily , I hope everything is awesome in your life ... p.s. i love your videos to keep up the awesome work that you do . Eh Canadian to. Enjoy life ;

Good morning Emily. Excellent video. Everything looks lovely. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, I had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for the family and I.

Hi Emely. When you started your channel, I wrote that I would watch some of your videos and then decide if I would subscribe. I've now subscribed, because I can see that you work just as hard and disciplined as your father, so you've truly earned it. :) Keep up the good work, and I'm sure you'll reach 100.000 subscribers in a short time. Greetings to both you and your father from Denmark.

Hey, Happy birthday, girl. You are fierce! And your Daddy loves you and is so proud of you!

A little bird told me that today is your birthday. Just wanted to say, thank you for being our Forest Flower and allowing us all to watch you blossom in your own garden. Keep it up, you put smiles on many faces, thank you

music was too loud to where I could hardly hear you speaking. You're gifted for sure

Happy Birthday Emily have a awesome day with your family 🥳🎉🎂

Happy Birthday! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.

Happy Birthday beautiful lady! Enjoy!❤

You are a very productive young lady. The garden seems to have done very well for the first year. Wish mine had done as well. Keep up yhe good work

Happy birthday today from sunny Madrid (Spain) 🌞

Happy Birthday Emily, have a great day..Peter..

A Happy Birthday to you is in order, Have a Blessed Day!

Happy birthday! Your dad sent me.😉

Emily your garden is fantastic. For a first time grower of vegetables I am in awe. Your root cellar is coming on and I am so glad that a young lady like yourself is taking such an interest in this day and age of being self reliant and that you can build and do so much and to operate power tools. You are an inspiration like your dad and your mom and dad I bet (as I am) very proud of what you have achieved. I have followed your dad from the very beginning and I can see that he has been a great teacher and his daughter will be following in his foot steps. Another great video Emily. Have a great week end.

Happy birthday Emily on your upcoming day

Almost as good as my treehouse construction!

Cheers Emily, good to see you are wearing your safety glasses, after the problems we had convincing Dad to wear his. Its coming on as is the Fall.

Happy birthday Emily . 🎂🎉😉 🐺

Happy Birthday Emily 🎂🎉🎁❤️

Happy Birthday Emily. Enjoy your day.

Happy birthday Emily!!!! Have a great day!!

So much like your Dad very organic.

Happy birthday 🎉 from Florida!

One of my favorite female youtubers.

That is very gorgeous thank you very much for sharing with us.

Happy BIRTHDAY Emily.

If you drill pilot holes especially at the ends of boards you will eliminate split ends when you drive the screw in. Alternately, if you reverse drill the screw part way in, then flip the switch back to setting the screw, that will work too.

Miss Emily, if you have a place for them (or know someone who does) you can overwinter your peppers. They're perennials, and my one neighbor got 7 years out of her oldest one before it finally gave up. Just prune back the tops, pot them up and put them in a sheltered area over the winter. Someone's basement, non freezing root cellar, or a greenhouse would be perfect, I reckon. Also, if you have cucumbers that you don't want to pickle, peel them, cut them up and boil until soft. You can mash them and can them as a puree. Just add spices to make a pumpkin pie impostor later on. Sweet Cucumber Pie Recipe: Ingredients: 2 cups Cucumbers; peeled and chopped 1 12 ounce can of Evaporated Milk 2/3 cup Sugar 3 Eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground Clove 1/4 teaspoon ground Ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground Nutmeg 1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust Directions: 1) Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit 2) Place the cucumbers in a pot and cover them with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain off the water being very careful, as it will be hot. 3) Blend or mash until smooth. Measure out 2 cups of the blended cucumber and pour into a large bowl. 4) Whisk into the blended cucumber; milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth and pour into pie crust. 5) Bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes, Then lower temperature to 350F and bake until center of pie is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes.

You did a nice job with the garden and your working hard building some shelves for storage you are like your father you love nature and you love too building stuff you are doing a wonderful job and you are very smart for your age not too many people that have what you have you should be proud of everything that are doing your a smart girl

I'm sure many will have a laugh at this but being now in my 70's the only pepper I've ever cooked is a green pepper. My mother was a great cook but despite us living in Malta and the Middle East for many years I never remember us ever cooking peppers. I was also at boarding school for 7 years but don't remember any meals with peppers. I was watching your fathers channel where he was profiling his garden and like you he had many peppers growing. I've always been totally confused as to the various peppers and how hot or sweet they can be. I guess I learned all my cooking from my mother and never really experimented past the old traditional recipes like mince and tatties, liver and onions, traditional meats, beef, pork and chicken, curry,, haggis, black pudding, pies, and of course many different desserts. etc. Your videos encourage me to try these pepper recipes as they sure look tasty. Never tried preserving food although I do have quantities of rice, lentils, potato powder and dried and canned evaporated milk and some jams. Great to see your root cellar making such good progress and also look forward to seeing what you are able to store in there.

Magnifique bravo A bientôt 😉 😉 😉

Эмели, поздравления с днём рождения и наилучшие пожелания в радости жизни с мужем- золотые руки из России!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Emily!

Happy birthday Emily 🎂 🥳

Thanks for sharing this video Emily!!!❤️

Hi Emily, I'm curious about the mesh on a few shelves. Is it cheaper than wood or something else?

Nice shelving job. Great garden harvest

Happy Birthday Emily!!

Happy Birthday Emily.

Happy Birthday Emily.

Happy birthday Emily!

Happy Birthday, Em!

You and your Dad have great channels. I love watching you both.

Great job Emily

Happy birthday to you and wishing you many many more 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎉🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Just found your channel and I think you have awesome content! I have some catching up to do! Keep up the awesome work. I'm a RU-vidr from Northwest Washington.

Happy birthday 🎉❤

You do such good work,you learned from your dad right? I know he is proud of you and is very grateful to have you to help him. For one man to build a cabin like this one is a huge job. I don’t think you’ll find many people that would do it pretty much alone! I think your dad is awesome and I hope he and your mom have lots of time to enjoy it and of course you and your sister too. I haven’t been on your channel for a while and am looking forward to seeing your finished cabin. Take care😊

I was here before. I just came back to wish you a Happy Birthday young lady. AND, I wish you MANY MANY repeats of that happy time and day. Health and happiness to you lady. You are one of the GOOD people on this earth. Bless you for being YOU!!

A quick tip that might be useful: make your mark and then hold your tri-square on your lumber and slide your circular saw alongside the tri-square and the mark and you'll make a straight smooth cut every time 😉

Happy Birthday Emily..🎂🎂🎂, a belated Happy Birthday to your Grandpa!!🎂🎂🎂

Happy birthday 🎂 ❤hope your day is beautiful and blessed ,always enjoy your videos 🙏🏾🙏🏾🎂🎂🎂🎂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
