I love watching you. You explain things so well. You show your mistakes and fixes. I would love for you to talk more about your freeze dryer. I just got mine 4 days ago. I have it set up in the garage (we just moved 3 weeks ago and it's still chaos here) I'm turning my garage into my pantry. But I haven't done my bread run yet. I'd love to hear what you've encountered if anything as far as issues you've had. I did get the large. And changed out an outlet for it. Keep up the great work. You're amazing.
Its not only bug damage. That kind of raddish gets hollow when they get to big of when it got to warm to quick. The start bolting and get hollow. I tried them 2 years not and the are very sensitive. I never had bugs in them but they where often hollow when I harvested
i hope the acoustics of your new kitchen is gonna be better. i love your vids so much but the sound gets me all nervy and unsettled:( i think its the echo and that you have to speak up to be heard in the mic. would really love a mic set up on you if its not the rooms fault much love from sweden<3
I have the James Wong book called grow your own Dr*gs..ther was a BBC series as well, you might be able to find it, it's nice my friends were scared to use my home made tinctures, it was too weird to them, made sense to me
Hi Becky, I greatly admire all you are able to accomplish! Something I always do when refilling my containers is emptying the container and pouring the newest and freshest spices, condiments, flours, etc at the bottom of the container and oldest on top. It is an extra step but that way I go through the older product first and it doesn't continue to age endlessly at the bottom of the container.
You don't need a dehydrator to dry herbs. You can use your car. Put herbs in a paper bag ''throw them in the back seat" and wait a week. Park in a shaded area (parking garage, garage, under a tree. It does take longer but works great. Crack the windows if needed. It's the only way I do herbs and small peppers now. (peppers may take longer) It's free!! and turns out perfect!!!! So if you don't have a dehydrator…you have another option.
We make a kale popcorn with dried kale, salt and red pepper flakes, makes a great low carb snack! I love kale! Thanks for showing us about the rhubarb! That makes it so much easier for when you want to use it! I too want to make multiple rhubarb recipes! You already have a great mini harvest! It’s so satisfying when we can grow, harvest and use our own healthy food! I can’t wait to grow and dry some chamomile for tea! I’m also learning how to make preventative herb medicines with homegrown herbs!
I got so excited when you turned on the freezer dryer! It was kind of like being right there 😃 Oh no I'm a harvest junkie now!!! I have a ton of yellow squash from my Dad's garden that I need to process so now I'm ready. Oh and his radishes had root rot last year…. It was a wet season here in Virginia and it was maggots.
This is very informative. Thank you! Question. My basil plant bolted. I cut it down pretty drastically. In your experience, will the new growth be bitter?
I was so excited to see how you were going to preserve the rhubarb but what exactly did you do with it after you vacuum sealed it? Did you freeze, refrigerate, freeze dry, or shelve it? I can't imagine just shelving it unless it was to be used within a day or two! And I can't wait to see your rhubarb bbq recipe!!! Blessings from Indy 💜🙏💜
Becky!!!! Such an informative video! I always put your videos on when I'm cooking or cleaning around the house and it feels like I get to hang out with a friend while I'm doing it – making everything that much more enjoyable. Plus, I ALWAYS learn something from you 💕. Thank you for starting your channel, you truly are a gem human being! 💖
Have you ever heard of crushing the raspberry leaves a little and then fermenting them in a jar in the sun for 2-6 weeks, then dehydrating them for tea. It’s supposed to retain the nutrients better 😉
With raw kale, you can get the bitterness out but massaging it with olive oil and salt for 5-10 mins. It’ll get darker and is absolutely delicious in salads after that 😍
I just want to say, what a beautiful, inspirational young lady you are! My husband and I were worried about a possible food shortage, so we started container gardening on our little deck (our yard is too rocky for in-ground beds) I stumbled onto some of your videos about a month ago, and have just fell in love watching how much you get done! Good luck in your new dream home, it looks absolutely LOVELY!
I grow French breakfast radishes every year, to me it looks like they were woody and that usually means they were left in to long. That could be why the bugs got to them? Just a guess.
I wonder if it's an American thing to wash eggs because I've always been taught that you shouldn't do that (unless they're REALLY soiled) as it will take out the natural coating and allow more bacteria in? 🤔
I do my rosemary the same way as your oregano. So much easier to get off the stem. Oh, who am I kidding….I do almost all my herbs and tea leaves the same. 😂
Not sure if you know it or not but the lower tray takes the longest to freeze dry so I will put things that require less time on the bottom such as the mint you did.
Those sandals look so comfortable!! Can you tell me what brand they are?? Love all your content!

People tend to put Kale in juices (with a juicer). My husband and I wanted to know what it tasted like alone just to know. NEVER try that. yuck!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful preservation techniques! You inspire me to get my herbs dried! Many blessings ❤️🤗🇨🇦

I loved this video so much
1:12 that spider either got away, or it's now freeze dried 😉

Kale chips in the dehydrator!
I grew radishes for the first time this year and ate 2-3 before the rest ended up with maggots 🤮

What joy your videos bring; there's plenty to admire, laughs and exciting things for us to try. Thank you for being you!
I love watching your videos so much that I went back and am watching a lot of the videos I missed from when you started YouTube.
I love these preservation videos so much fun to watch. And you give great tips.💚

A way to eat raw Kale Is to massage it with lemon juice and salt to break the fibers and Is delicious to make a salad ir eat it as a snack!!!

Great video Thank you for sharing. We love sauteed Kale in our scrambled eggs, or omelets, yum!
You're crushing it! Love your videos and learning lots thankyou! cheers from northern Canada
Did you ever remember the harvest your potatoes.
wow just watched a vlog from 2021 jan which u had ur hair down, u have such beautiful hair, i so enjoy ur knowledgeable vlogs, ty x
Becky, you are missing a perfect opportunity to call your Rhubarb BBQ sauce Rhubarbeque sauce 😂. Love your channel!
💜
Try making kale chips by putting them in the oven with a spray of oil and some salt.
Wow Becky what a first harvest, your always busy. Keep up the hard work it pays off. Love ya 😃❤️👍

I wonder. Do you keep a running log on what you’ve planted? And how it did for you?
Who else thought it was their doorbell when Becky's doorbell rang?
You are so lucky to have St. john's wort growing in your yard! I make an infused oil with it and is the best for pain.

Oh the blessings of being young.
Did you take the skin off the garlic before you put in blender?
I do my rosemary the same way as your oregano. So much easier to get off the stem. Oh, who am I kidding….I do almost all my herbs and tea leaves the same. 😂
