My cucumbers are done. When they're too big I put them in a blender with some mint and lemon or lime juice, blend it up. Strain it up. It's a great drink concentrate. I've even canned it.
Thank you for all you do Travis nothing to do with this video but you should see my FIG TREES!! I purchased 5 cuttings from your first cutting you ever sold and they are doing amazing!! loaded with figs and some of the trees are like 10 ft tall!! I got to enjoy 2 of the LSU fig yesterday. it was like eating pure honey ❤I will be ordering more cuttings now that I know I can grow them ❤✌
There's a video here on RU-vid from America's test kitchen on bread and butter pickles where they do a canning technique where you process for a little longer but keep the temperature between 180-185 degrees and it definitely works!
The channel "Homesteading Family" has a video on how to make the "Crispiest, Crunchiest canned pickles ever" using the pasteurization method and I've been using it for all of my pickling recipes. I can verify that 2 years later those pickles are still firm and very crisp. I can a "Klaussen Knock-off" and give it as gifts to family. It keeps that same crunch.
Two tips for crisp pickles, make old fashioned lacto-fermented pickles and use bay leaves in the spices, and cap the ferment with grape leaves in the same way you might use whole cabbage leaves to cap a sauerkraut ferment. Fermented pickles aren’t cooked, so don’t lose texture from the heat of canning and as long as you protect them from oxygen by keeping them fully submerged under the brine they will not soften from the fermentation process. And then the bay leaves and grape leaves have high tannin content which preserves the crisp texture.
I’ve been growing Ozark Razorback for several years. They taste great but are a little small and not as easy to shell as a zipper or purple hull. They don’t do as well in the really hot temps like the purple hulls do. I also use the razor backs for cover crops. I save my seeds ever year
I just bought some Ozark Razorback cowpeas from Baker Creek. I've never seen these so am excited to give them a try. I'm in Arkansas 7B zone. One question. How do you keep weeds and grass out of your beds? I've been using raised beds and I think I will go back to the regular garden like you have and like my grandparents used to have. Thank you
Ozark razorback look like U'us mu:ñ from native seeds. I grew it in spring and it did really well dispite having some serious powdery white stuff (mildew?) all over it almost immediately from seedling. It Didn’t spread (the powdery stuff). I’ve seen a few variations on this variety with a bit of difference in the eye.
I'm in Arkansas and I'm growing The Black Eyed Pea you get from the grocery store. I don't see a reason to try a more expensive variety when this one is doing so well
@@juliarroberts1621 mine are spreading through the grass. Each are about 300 square feet. I get like five pods a day off each plant. I wonder if there's a way to tell if it's a bush variety from the grocery store
Those brown and white cow peas look like Baker Creek Hog Brain Cow Peas that I got a few years ago. They haven't had them since. I still have some dried, I hope they're still viable.
I ordered and planted "Giant Sunflowers" this year. They grew to be about 30" to 36" and the entire flowers are only about 4" at most. Something happened somewhere in the packaging of those seeds.
Wow, Manuel is getting a workout! ;) I have a question: Which way of innoculating peas works best, sprinkling it in with the peas as you plant them, or mixing them with a slurry beforehand?
Ever planted Knuckle Hull peas?? About 3 years ago I thought was ordering purple hull peas because the picture on the website is wrong. I knew it was wrong as soon as they arrived. On a whim i threw them in my garden this year. Every web site said it was a bush pea, this is absolutely not. Its almost caught up with my Red Ripper that was planted 2 months earlier. Anyone grew these before? I can't find anything online
Enjoy your videos very informative and if I may take the liberty, especially if desiring to make them in senior years, start pushing back for second helping (if you do) and stay away from bacon grease, bacon, sausage, butter, cheese, most desserts, sugar,sweet Tea, rolls, biscuits and adult beverages. Too many surprises (surgeries), diabetes, obesity, heartache, heart attack, high blood pressure, colon complication, Georgia bulldog long football field of problems. I failed, I paid the price, age 48. Don’t live your senior golden years in butterfly printed pull-ups. 75 years old now due to droppings 68 lbs, still required pull ups, walk with cane, and use more supplemental oxygen then Bull dogs in August. Pass this on to Hoss, if you love him.
@@jasminestreetfarm8112 missed my point, I believe. He is still young enough to avoid health issues associated with certain food groups. I just pointed out that I took the wrong path earlier in life and he can potentially avoid. Age is a number and death is certain but many can enjoy a certain healthier senior life span.
I soak my sliced cucumbers in lime water for a couple hours before I process into pickles and put a grape leaf in the top of each jar... don't over cook.
