Truer words were never spoken! Thank you for your comment. Yous, Tammy

@SidneyNgumba Hey Hey Sidney. Thank you so much for your great question! We make many types of juice on the Homestead. Apple, grape, and pear, for example. However, this particular juice was made from one of our plum trees. It's very delicious. Here is a link to the video that shows how to make this tasty treat. czcams.com/video/BpM9ZAM71ck/video.html. Thanks for watching, and I hope to see you again in the comments. Have a blessed day. Yours, Tammy

@@CityHomesteadLiving This was helpful thx

Perhaps, animals are incredibly creative!

Greetings Friend, Wow, that is a really long time to invest. It took us less time but there were 2 of us and sometimes 3. It was so comical however. Because whenever we move it to turn it on it side, all of the supports would fall off. This is the first year I have used this unit so time will tell if it is worth it. I will give a full review next season. Just wait until I give my review on our large harbor freight greenhouse build.🤦‍♀️ Thanks my friend for commenting, I love ❤️connecting with our viewers. Happy Homesteading Adventures, Tammy

Thank you for watching, I am so glad that you found it to be helpful! Our goal is to make a difference to others.

This is nice ☺️

I am so sorry to take so long to respond. I have been sick for a few weeks, and I am finally feeling better. When I say typical, I mean most commonly available. This bag I used contains ingredients that are good for containers. Forest Humus, Compost, Pumice, Sand, and Peat Moss. By sifting this for seed starting mix, it will remove larger particles that may inhibit smaller seeds, such as peppers and tomatoes, when breaking through the soil. I hope this helps, and thanks again for your imput. May your gardening dreams come true. Happy Homesteading Adventures, yours Tammy

Thanks for responding, glad you’re feeling better

@jk_22 thank you 😊

😂 Glad it got your attention!

I believe mine is Tuscan Blue. Rosemary flowers come in a variety of colors. Red, Pink, Lavender and White. Rosemary blooms when it is mature, one or more years old. If it doesn't bloom, you're soil may not be to the plants liking. Some climates may be to cold for it to act as a perennial and it doesn't reach maturity. You have given us great ideas for additional videos! I hope that these answers help and thank you for keeping the conversation going! Yous, Tammy

Very sweet 😊

This is interesting. Rosemary is known for its calming effects, especially when burned or diffused. I would like to just add one precaution to those who wish to try this hack. A few individuals are allergic to Rosemary and may have a very negative reaction. However, on the flip side, it can be very healing for respiratory ailments. This could be a great video! Thanks for keeping the conversation going. Yours, Tammy

I love MI Gardener also! They have a great germination rate, great variety and you can't beat the price! I promote their business whenever I can. Yours, Tammy

That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing that with the community.

very much a pleasure@@CityHomesteadLiving

That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing your tip! I love trying new things so the next time I am processing grapes, I will give it a try, and I'll post my results. Yours, Tammy

Thank you for your kind words. Our mission is to provide valuable information to help others live a more sustainable way of life, right where they are.

Hey thanks for commenting, I love it when we can keep the conversation going! To answer your question, much of the skins do end up going through the sive and into the finished product. However, you can slip the skins and save them to process later. You could dehydrate and powder them. Then add them to your jams or any other grape product you make. This is a great idea that we might have to do a video about.

interesting you mentioned dehydrating them, thats exactly what i was thinking. Thankyou.@@CityHomesteadLiving

You're welcome, thanks for your valuable input! You know how much others benefit from the content in the comments. Yours, Tammy

😆

That's awesome, Susan! There are so many great ways to produce and preserve our food. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. I am truly grateful that you are willing to help others learn. Yours, Tammy

Greetings! Thank you for sharing your questions in the comments. The immersion blender doesn't seem to break up the seeds too much. I mostly use it to break up the skins. (Which are softer) you can skip this entirely if you have concerns, and use a potato ricer or food mill to extract the seeds. I hope you have a great success with your preservation. Be sure to let the community know how you did it in the comments. We all have a hunger for learning and I love learning from others in this community. As always, Happy Homesteading Adventures! Tammy

Thanks!

I absolutely 💯 will! Thanks for watching and keeping the conversation going in the comments. Yours, Tammy

Thanks for sharing your insight! Great idea, I'll share a little peeling eggs video soon! Thanks for watching and keep the comments coming. Our viewers are the inspiration! Yours Tammy

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy more of our channels tips and Homestead hacks! Yours, Tammy

Thank you for joining the conversation. I hope this answer helps you. I find that these will stay fairly crispy in the fridge for about a month. Beyond that, they will be edible but tend to become limp. Things also depend upon the size and type of cucumber you use. Smaller pickling cucumbers stay crisp longer. If you want pickles to store for long-term, I recommend traditional canning and using "pickle crisp". Here is a link to where you can find it : amzn.to/44xagVG Thanks again for your question, feel free to ask me about anything we post. Happy Homestead Adventures Yours Tammy

@@CityHomesteadLiving Thank you.

Greetings Alexis, Thanks for engaging in the comments. Here are a few things to note about ACV. A few differences exist between filtered apple cider vinegar (ACV) and apple cider vinegar with the mother (a mass of bacteria that forms during fermentation), which you can also call unpasteurized, unfiltered, or raw apple cider vinegar. Filtered ACV has a weaker apple flavor. The filtering process removes the mother but also some of the natural apple flavor. Cooking using unfiltered apple cider vinegar produces better flavor. ACV with the mother also contains natural probiotics. Removing the mother also removes the threads of probiotic-dense and enzyme-rich bacteria, which might present some health benefits. ACV with the mother can be a starter for other vinegars. It’s possible to use unfiltered apple cider vinegar to start other homemade vinegars-the mother will help you kickstart the fermentation process. I hope this helps, Yours, Tammy

Thank you so much for responding and keeping the conversation going in the comments. You are actually correct. The hairs are called tricomes and they provide a defensive mechanism for the plant. The little nodules which you cannot see on a immature plant or what actually produced the roots so I should have said that they're replaced by the roots. Here's a quote "Why do tomatoes have trichomes? Tomatoes have trichomes to help protect them from pests and disease. The tiny trichomes on tomato plants are like glands that secrete essential oils which give tomato plants their wonderful scent. It is precisely that scent that aims to repel some pests.' Here is what the little nodules are called a link to learn more information about these things. "Adventitious roots" www.ruralsprout.com/tomato-hairs/
