  • Canned carrots are a convenience food for me, so easy to just open a pint and add then to a dish!

    Isn’t it great to see the kids outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air and also helping Mom, instead of being glued to the tv or internet?

      My heart is so glad every time I see the kids being kids, learning and helping, taking big bites out of fresh picked veggies...
      And yes so unnatural and truly frightening how most kids today are being raised.

    When I plant my pelleted carrot seed I use lime and till that I’m first. I use organic lime. Since I was a market gardener I sold carrots all summer long and they asked me why mine were never bitter. So I told them I sweetened the soil with pelleted lime did that for over 50 years of market gardening and still to this day. My parents were the first subscribers or the little magazine called organic gardener. And that what they told us to do. I also do that for every root veggie

      curious, are you talking about organic lime fruits, or referring to organic pelletized lime that you can buy in a bag to till in the soil?

    I've been cooking everyday for 50 years and canning for 12.... yet I can always learn something from your videos, RuthAnn. It's always fun to see your kids and your interactions with them as you guide them in learning a healthy lifestyle. This is what being a homemaker should look like. All things home - caring for family, and keeping them healthy included teaching them how to be kind and good workers, growing and preserving food, keeping a household, etc. Women had the best job in the world before they decided to put on pants and compete in the workplace with men. By the way, I have lived this lifestyle and don't regret a day of it-enjoyed every moment. No time to be bored!! Yes, God is good! And my carrots turned out beautiful. Thank you.

    I was so thrilled to see you using a canner just like mine 😊 I use so much less propane with the peatcock. One I close it there is no steam released an I can turn my flame to its lowest setting. It holds proper pressure the whole time. ...I hope I'm doing it correctly, my dry beans sealed.
    Oh one more thing.. we love your BBQ bean recipe 😋

    I found your channel about a week ago and have been watching so many of your videos.
    I would love to get some of your zinnia seeds if you do this yearly.
    I just gave my grandchildren large envelopes of zinnia seeds for Easter. I did a garden theme for them this year for their baskets.
    I home school them and am doing my best to raise them a lot like you do.
    Although on a much smaller scale. We no longer have a farm or land. We only have an acre but I do what I can with what we have.
    Anyway back to the point.
    Every year I have them grow something new and care for it. This year is zinnias. Yours are gorgeous and nice and tall. I've not grown them before and I'm so excited to see this video. I didn't know you could save the seeds like marigolds! Or the climate control for the seeds. That helps a lot!
    Thank you!

    The kids are so cute. I tried canning carrots in 2021 but they came out like mush. I think the recipe I used you boiled them for 5 minutes, jarred them and canned for 30 minutes for pints. I will try it your way because it sure is convenient to have them jarred up.

    That's what is wrong with the carrots in the stores! I keep telling people that the carrots I used to eat raw as a kid were kind of sweet but today they are kind of bitter! It makes sense because the demand for carrots is higher these days because of population so I bet they don't give them enough time in the ground and therefore no frost for them which makes them sweeter. I am 73 so it was a lot of years ago 😊
