IMPORTANT - Becky: Your garden got mentioned by Gardening In Canada the soil scientist specifically the topography - You may wish to watch the video called At Home Soil Testing ... as she is quite educational and it will help you understand your garden better. I have been a follower since 2020 - keep up the great work. ❤ 🇦🇺

I’m going to stop the video quick to reply for 2 points. 1. If you don’t like the grape jelly (I didn’t get that far yet) you can turn it into cocktail meatballs with some chili sauce and small bite sized meatballs. And 2. Watching you getting down in your basement floor I was thinking when you decide to remodel your kitchen bring some of it downstairs instead of letting it go to trash. Like your kitchen island and a counter with a sink. And cabinets. It would keep you from working on the floor and give you a wash up station for when you need to rinse things off. And it’s a great way to repurpose.

I love this channel and have been watching for about two years now, and the one thing that always makes me chuckle is that you use more onions in one dish than I use in a whole year (no joke, I don't like them at all). My mom asked me the other day, "why are you watching videos about onions if you don't eat them!?". Because, mom, Becky calms me down when the world is loud, and she likes onions. So here we are.

About the onions ! My MIL would buy cheap panty panty hose and cut the legs off . Put an onion into the toe and tie a knot. Put the next onion and tie a knot. Continue till full, then hang from the rafter or similar place. The idea is to keep the bruising to a minimum. Cut an onion off as needed. This worked really well for us.

Becky, my husband works pest control for large commercial food companies, some of them being breweries and bakeries, he told me it always best to make sure that the very center of the bag needs to be at the temperature of the freezer for atleat 36 to 48 hours for the best kill rate. I'm sure you probably have done a lot of research, but that's just what they tell them in training and clients if they deal with an infestation. Love your stuff. I find it comforting when I feel anxious. I'm thankful I found your channel a few years ago.

Hello, my dear. I'm from Saudi Arabia, and this is the second video I have watched on your channel. Let me tell you, wow, I am so impressed by you, your gardening, and your storage. Oh my god, that is so exciting. I love it so much. You have inspired me so much to start this journey. I can't wait to watch all your videos and enjoy them. all love for you and your family❤❤❤

I recommend several tarps (with handles in the grommets on the corners) on the floor for the vegetables. A quick pull on the sides and tilt into a trashcan, cleans fast.

I have a cutting of my grandmother’s and grew grandmothers Concord grape vine. It’s over a 100 years old. We made grape jelly every year and I still do

[mohair]

Hi Becky, I love your family ❤great tip. I'll give it to you. Saw on More Than Farmers channel. When they hulling the beans. They put them in a pillow case and bang them on the floor. All the beans came out of thier shells. It was pretty fast. Saved alot of time. Hope that helps ❤

[keelaeldridge]

Becky I am so proud of you! At your young age, you are so remarkable! You set out to learn something new and you conquer it beautifully! Your family is very fortunate to have you!

When you grow your own Concord grapes you will be astounded by the flavor. It is so superior to bottled juice, it almost seems like a different species. In the past I made jelly from wild Concord grapes and they were magical. I did not plant or maintain the vines ever. They grew into a tree and the tree was known as the grape tree. My children always thought grapes grew on trees. A little memory I like to share. Enjoy your little one the memories are fabulous and can be triggered by such random things. Thanks for jogging my mind.

Another way to kill bugs, put your grains in a 5 gallon bucket with airtight lid (I prefer gamma) with a 2500cc oxygen absorber. The lack of oxygen will also kill any bugs. This is a great option also for people who can’t freeze the 25lb bags of grains. Got this tip from someone who has been storing her grains for over 30 yrs with no bug issues.

[debbieperos]

Hey Becky. I just found this on Google. Hope this helps ur concern about storage proximity of potato and onions.
“Since ethylene gas is the culprit of premature spoilage, you want onions and potatoes far enough apart so normal ventilation will keep them fresh. Mostly that means not keeping them in the same bag, basket, box or drawer. A few feet apart in an airy pantry should be fine”.

Concord grape juice will always be associated with communion growing up.

I am a widow and cook very little but love your program

[lindab]

My father mowed the lawn of an elderly woman and she had a huge area of her own Concord Grapes growing. She would give him a huge basket to bring home and it was like Heaven! Yummy ! But, there were so many that my Mom made jelly too. When I smell good grape Jelly now, it brings me right back to that women's Concord Grapes growing and my Mom's fantastic jelly. I can't wait to see how you grow yours and how many you will need to can! I am sure they will be delicious.

Becky, I was just watching another homestead gardener who was trying something out that one of his subscribers had told him that made it much easier to shell the beans from the pods. You take an old pillow case and fill it up about 1/4 - 1/3 with your beans and firmly but not too hard whack it on a hard surface like your basement floor. Do it once or twice, check the beans and mix them up a little with your hands and do it again. After several times of whacking on the floor, all or the vast majority of your beans will fall to the bottom of the pillow case leaving the empty pods that can be discarded. There may be a few beans still in the pods here and there but as you go you will get the feel of it. It will cut down on the amount of time to separate your beans tremendously!. Occasionally you may split a bean but all in all it was a great method, and I though you might like to give it a try because you have quite a bean harvest there. Anyway, good luck and thank you for your videos!
