Could some of the petals that folded over been from the tray above when they were sliding in the dryer? If you watch the video back thats what it looks like.

@cynthiahodgkinson Год назад

I agree. When doing the bigger flowers I would do less trays and put an empty space in between the trays

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Great advice, I'll try that next time

@Gardeninggurl Год назад

I agree, maybe do less trays for more room

@allyh193 Год назад

Love that you all get so much quality time 🥰 It is so refreshing when channels show healthy marriages. What a ministry! ❤️

@Junkinsally Год назад

I would try the dinner plates again but only do three trays and if you can remove the racks for more room. I noticed they were getting smooshed by the tray above when slid in. I would also try the daisies types and roses too, upright using a “flower frog” to hold the straight. You can even air dry using the upright flower frog method. Probably 12-18 hours would be enough because flowers aren’t as dense as veggies. The freeze dried Golden Rod makes good tea as well as tinctures. Also, you should send Jessica one of the Tangerine Skies dried roses.

Rack height cannot be adjusted

@heathermiddleton4958 Год назад

Look at you Nathan! Smelling and arranging flowers with your honey. You are just such a good man, husband and father. Hugs.

@zuzauramek9850 Год назад

On Gardeners' World 2022 Episode 27 (you can watch it on RU-vid) 22:38 min It shows how one lady dries ( not freeze dry but dry) her dahlias and she shows how she does it.

@debbymyers921 Год назад

There is a whole freeze drying floral association! That group supports freeze drying wedding flowers, etc. It’s a huge thing!

@BlacksTropicalHomestead Год назад

Hey beautiful SoilSista 💕 I freeze dry everything 🤣 We do weekly experiments to see what work and what freeze dry good. Herbs and flowers are absolutely amazing and to know they last up to 25+ years. Blessings. Thanks for sharing SoilSista ❤️

@nicolee508 Год назад

Crazy how well the flowers kept their vibrant color as compared to drying to what I've seen with drying upside down. So pretty.

@luielulu39 Год назад

Love Nathan's facial impressions... he's so fun to watch

@gardengrowinmawmaw8642 Год назад

I freeze dried Golden Rod also, and days later, I can still smell them when I walk past my freeze dryer! I need to give it a good cleaning.

@LadysFarm Год назад

Loving those glasses. You’re Such a cutie 🥰 I love freeze dried things. I don’t own a machine but maybe one day ❤

@marilynclayton3430 Год назад

The goldenrod will freeze dry perfectly. But you probably have figured it out already. How fun! think of all the creative projects you can do with the flowers 🌺

@justgoodness333littlehomes5 Год назад

We used to use old school Aqua Net hair spray for flowers like your goldenrod that have multiple tiny flower parts. It kept the tiny parts from coming loose over time.

@worleyhavenhomestead1448 Год назад

Maybe try putting the Dahlias face down on the trays and see if that helps keep them from folding up!

@everafterbookchat Год назад

the roses and golden rod, and the triloba black eyed susans were my fave. So pretty!

@ladyryan902 Год назад

Freeze dry flowers is a wonderful way to get loose leaf teas

@brittanybates7498 Год назад

This is so neat! You should keep some of them and build a beautiful shadow box with all different stages of the flowers and put it somewhere in your home. Thanks for sharing! Blessings 🥰

@PonderingCreationsFarm Год назад

That’s awesome! I grew straw flowers & need to make some arrangements! I’ll go pick some black eyed Susan’s & goldenrod & asters & anything else I can find 😂 thanks for the video

@katieramos8156 Год назад

Might be blessed soon to press flowers in a nursing home I volunteer with at my church. They're basically stuck in there and love projects. Love and respect the elderly.....

@LosingDrea Год назад

So cool, I love dried flowers and I thikn you could take some of preserve them in appoxy resin and make some really beautiful, earrings, keychains, pendants, and other cool things with WWF on them.

@justgoodness333littlehomes5 Год назад

You could use the flowers in shadow box style picture frames as gifts or wall art or even to sell in your shop. The shadow box frames are pretty deep.

@larrymattiasen5514 Год назад

Oh yes...I worked in a florist thirty years ago and we freeze dried al types of flowers. We sed them in all sorts of dried arrangements...they were stunning.

@dottiesworld979 Год назад

They would look so pretty in a frame on the wall 🥰

@mountainfamilyfarmstead Год назад

My aunt freeze dried flowers from my grandma’s funeral in February and put them in shadow boxes for us grandkids. Grandma loved flowers and always had them in buckets of silica gel around her house or pressed in her Bible. The freeze dried flowers were so special for us!

@kuchdilsecreationsbysonali9605 Год назад

Beautiful beautiful flowers and loved the cones and dark, Daniel from northlands flower farm is simply air drying her dahlias for tree please check it out ,and omg ur roses love 💕 love ❤️ ur earrings too💃💃🤗

@carricowherd3826 Год назад

I was also thinking that freeze dried petals would be amazing for soaps and teas. I love this video! Those roses 😍 I'd like to see a dwarf teddy bear sunflower. Maybe calendula?

@faithkinneavy8436 Год назад

Loved the freeze dried flowers. Have you considered making multi-sectioned (divided) shadowboxes? That might be a nice (and timeless) gift of a person's favorite flowers. Wishing you and your family the best 🥰

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Great idea

@5acrefarm Год назад

Whaaaat?!? A freeze dryer was on my list of things to get and now it’s higher on the list. I love this!! Thank you 🌱🥰

@LoriHakaMyHeartCries Год назад

I have a frame that holds my Grandmother's bridal flowers. I'm really not sure how she preserved them, but they are amazing., edited to add that my grandmother was married in the 1920's

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Wow that's amazing

@hallierasbury65 Год назад

I love how they all look. What an interesting way to enhance a wreath with all the shapes and colors. Love it all

@skynuts7792 Месяц назад

More gentle sublimation, less temp, less pull , would possibly cause less change. Awesome first try. Would love to see if you are still working with flowers and what temperature and pressure you set your machine.

@skynuts7792 Месяц назад

Also watering flowers well, hours before you cut them can help.

@WhisperingWillowFarm Месяц назад

Thanks for the tips

@craftyskyladycreativetimew9090 Год назад

Borage creates a beautiful star flower in a tiny purpley blue color and I bet they would freeze dry well and would be so pretty on a small wreath or something dainty, etc.

@everafterbookchat Год назад

Oh fun I'm excited to see how they turn out! Tangerine Skies is a Kordes Arborose.

@haleymglick Год назад

Jill, I think this could be a wonderful little business for Charlie. She could harvest the last blooms from your flower beds spring -fall and freeze dry them and sell them on Etsy to crafters and your followers that want to support her.

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Great idea, thanks for sharing

@haleymglick Год назад

Of course! ❤

@sharonjennings1282 Год назад

@@WhisperingWillowFarmFYI people LOVE to buy things from kids selling!! It will work lol. Give her her own small table. Also please wear gloves cutting flowers. I cut myself badly on my thumb which is now numb and dropped the clippers and they landed between my palm and finger and I actually needed a surgery. Geez….. so much for making money at the market when you have Dr and surgery bills lol

@cyy3793 4 месяца назад

If the freezing is too slow, the flowers will get "frostbite", or "freezer burn". ie the brown "burnt" areas. You can minimise this issue by freezing more rapidly, thereby reducing the ice crystal formation, and therefore less cell damage

@WhisperingWillowFarm 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the tip

@lori9932 Год назад

You and Nathan are such a power house team a beautiful couple with amazing kiddos!! Thanks for the encouraging videos you aput out for the world to see

@naturekins604 Год назад

It looked like when they went in they got bent over as the try slid in ,if you flattened them out a bit before you slid in the tray they might have looked better.

@elizabethlink3993 Год назад

💚 How lovely are those freeze-dried flowers! There's lots of possibilities there! I saw a Three Rivers Homestead vlog where she freeze-dried Calendula flowers and one of the daughters strung some up in a garland and hung it along the top of the window. Love your footage of harvesting the flowers together 💚

@BradfordHomestead Год назад

Nathan is showing some of that awesome personality!

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

I come out of my shell now and then

@sallyburkett-caskinette8723 Год назад

Freeze drying removes moisture, but some of the moisture will return, so I’m waiting to see what they look like once that happens. If it does!

@jeanmahan4767 Год назад

Jill please don’t give up on you dinner plate dahlias. Try leaving a empty shelf and a empty tray underneath leaving that space and using a long tool go through the space and put the plate dahlias on the empty tray and the would have the needed high to let then not be folded over and crushed. 🤞🏼🤞🏼💕

@jessicabennett852 Год назад

I would skip a tray between the dinner plates. Pretty sure there just wasn’t enough room. They would be beautiful dried!

@jessicakivett7838 Год назад

That's super cool!

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Thanks, i thought so

@brandeegoodnight532 Год назад

I wonder if the dinner plates didn’t have enough room to stand up true to form. He had to flatten them a little to get them in dryer. I still think it’s a great way to do wreaths.

@jasminelouisefarrall Год назад

Wonderful vlog 🥰 I have hung up some dahlias, hydrangeas and sedum for autumn decorating 🥰

@HolmansHomestead Год назад

Yes nothing like fresh berries. How cool with the flowers

@gardenstatesowandsew Год назад

That’s so cool. When you were saying to save some for the girls, the first thing I thought of was a pretty little farmhouse style frame with a flower head in it for their bedrooms. I may make one for my kitchen or something ❤

@jillwright8196 Год назад

What a great idea and the flowers look so cool! Thanks for sharing:)

@fareebug8439 Год назад

Some daliahs will keep in ground with heavy mulch, but idk about in raised beds. You should try overwintering daliahs in ground in the high tunnel!

@tamararobinson2069 Год назад

You’d want to place smaller less dense in one batch which would run less time & the thicker denser ones like coneflower in its own batch which would run longer….

@LoriHakaMyHeartCries Год назад

No dont toss them.. create a potpourri with them. That'd be an awesome gift for you to give someone.

@bradcarby3765 Год назад

Nate is such a darling man. You know the whole time he is wishing he was with the pigs.

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

🤣 you're correct and thank you

@jamieflint2550 Год назад

So cool!! They turned out nice! ❤️ I'm trying hang drying just a few dahlias as an experiment... They don't retain the shape/color as well, of course. I also hang dry a lot of other flowers which work great, and pressed some flowers too. Experiments! 😊

@n95girl Год назад

I was told to dip them in water first then shake the water off before freeze drying

@tamarasteck6746 Год назад

Good to know they can be freeze dried!

@turboflacko946 Год назад

I don’t raspberries cuz bugs but black berrys have a good record for me still I’m excited to build my freezer :)

@victorpashkevich8801 Год назад

Think the larger flowers getting smooshed when you put them in and the getting squashed by the top trays

@tst1200 Год назад

I'd luv to have some canes or starts or whatever of those twice a year blackberries especially if they could be grown in a pot.

@Sharonmarieb Год назад

Those flowers r absolutely soooo beautiful!!😊

@karenmccleary7616 Год назад

I wonder if you tried doing the dinner plates face down the petals wouldn’t curl. It kind of looked like it was a tight fit for them. Love that you explore the unknown. Great job guys.

@littlefootranch4410 Год назад

So fun with an abundance of options on what to do with them. I don't have a freeze dryer, yet, but one day. There are just so many uses for one. The flowers really kept their color well. Thanks for sharing.

@Camille-mo4bx Год назад

I loved when you said you bought some tulips and your husband looks like oh yeah? I know that laugh 😅😅😅

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

Oh yes! It happens often 😂

@kristiryan740 Год назад

That is so neat!!

@TeshaS05 Год назад

Maybe the smooshed dinnerplate dahlias got "damaged" when they were entered in the freeze dryer not by the proccess. When Nathan was entering the trays i saw that some were too big for the slot space. All the dahlias have only one side damaged not both.

@karionhawkins3091 Год назад

❤️ flowers

@robynwhittaker1474 Год назад

I sure wished you lived closer. We buy storage units and I had a thrift type shop. I could never sell baskets like you bought for $8 so I burned them. Love your channel.

@robynwhittaker1474 Год назад

The purple cone flowers grow wild around us in southwest Missouri!

@toniajones3572 Год назад

Omg this is amazing! What a great idea. I love the idea of making wreaths and ornaments with them. Maybe take some of the tangerine sky arbor roses and make a wreath or ornament for Jess. If I remember right they were a gift from miah and the boys

@martiee6882 Год назад

I found that basket at my local thrift randomly last fall and ... I took it as a sign. Honestly ... how do these things find us. I never have ever looked for them until growing.

@katiez5660 Год назад

Some looked like the large flower’s petals bent over when you put them in?

@tammymckenna1899 Год назад

I love your fashion sense❤

@clancarney2541 Год назад

Ants taste like lemons, that would just add to the flavor!

@azpeach5680 Год назад

This is such a cool video!

@daniellewhited5725 Год назад

Do you know how long they will last? Will they rehydrate themselves in anyway? I just got a freeze dryer and grew flowers this year and I had been looking into this as well. Very excited to try it

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

This is my first experience but I've been told if you keep them in a tote with a lid in your closet, they will stay good for a long time

@G.W.H. Год назад

Awesome!!!

@craftyskyladycreativetimew9090 Год назад

OMG! Your flowers are so lovely and I think they came out great in your freeze dryer. I am wondering if instead of tossing any out, try selling them like on crafter's sites like Etsy where you could bag the ones you think are not so great and let crafter's use the petals and such in their projects (i.e. people who make jewelry from flowers and resin). Just a thought!

@cindythurston2504 Год назад

I don't know how the freeze dryer is made but I'm wondering if you can dry the dahlias using just two trays with space in between.

@debbiecole7005 Год назад

Yes sadly I don’t have a freeze dryer!

@mikkileon6380 Год назад

I’m sure you probably already figured this out and that other people have commented this, but I thought I’d express this just to make sure☺️ hehehehehe. The large flowers got bent and folded over and smashed when put into the freeze dryer. Is it possible to remove a rack so they have more height to sit in and then that way they don’t get smashed? I don’t know if you can remove the racks or not.

@marygrott8095 Год назад

Your flowers are gorgeous

@keithshumaker6402 Год назад

I just wonder if you freeze dried flowers that are edible and add them to add other spices if wound be better for are health God Bless

@socorrom5293 Год назад

Cute how your hubby work beside you on prepping flowers! How many men would not do that cuz it could be considered a feminine thing?!😊😊

@shonahshelton1757 Год назад

I think the dinner plate dahlia didn’t do well just because it was smooshed going into the drier. Maybe try with only every other tray in so it has more room and doesn't get smooshed. They are just gorgeous tho❣️

@katiez5660 Год назад

So can you take the small ones out early? The large ones every other tray?

@WhisperingWillowFarm Год назад

I'll try that next time

@threewillowsfarm7779 Год назад

I think the dahlias would have done just fine had you not crushed them. they were too close to the pan above them. if you only did 2 pans at a time it would let them have room.I think you'd find your Dahlia's would look beautiful
