We are adding another 2 sets of shelving in the pantry. We'd love to have a cellar, but where we live it would be a swimming pool. We lave a very large pantry, and we also have several closets turned into pantry areas. We eat fresh when we can and can what we can't eat. Your observations and advice are spot on! Thank you! Many Blessings!!
Dear girl? All My Atlas jars lost their seal too! I have taken my Atlas oldies out of my canning rotation as well. Fond memories of canning with my Mama. Thank you for the tout and the information. Appreciate you & Danny
Excellent tips!! My heart broke when I saw the mold. I absolutely LOVE how you say, I need to go to the grocery store _ you made both my husband and I giggle. I do that with veggies that might be in the stores right now as well. This weekend I did fermenting, then took all those peels and made veg broth. Next weekend? Whatever I find on sale, even if it is just a few items.
Wanda, That was such a powerful message to ppl that can't have a garden or whatever circumstances. To go to the store and buy veg or fruit on sale, then can it. I will be doing that for things I can't grow where I'm at. Thank you. BLESSINGS
Finding spoiled food is so heartbreaking but I'm glad the chickens will get a treat! I'm about to do a count on my jars/lids and inventory what's on the shelves. I'm about to pull veggies out of the freezer and dehydrate to make room in the deep freezer as well. Every day we should all be working on something, whether it's planning, canning, building or putting your hands in the soil.
Even though I'm a beginner canner and gardener, I'm confident I'm gonna be good at this cause I come from strong farming grandparents from Eastern Kentucky and Tennessee... it's in my blood 😂 Plus, I'm thankful and trust the Lord will give me a good harvest as He blesses my diligence and work. I learn so much from you and so thankful! Plus, I live in the Florida panhandle so we're practically neighbors! Thanks Wanda 😃
@@Trid2bnrml1 I've got those books and more! Love them. It's in my blood cause I've got this God-given ability and gift within me from generations past to do it! I'm so proud of my families humble beginnings. Thanks
I've been canning almost every day after work and on my day off. I dehydrate too. Thanks to you and Danny my food stores are in a much better place than it would have been before I found your channel. Thanks so much for all you do for the community.
My health is not so good and so I dehydrate instead of can: I can sit at a table and slice and fill the trays, and when I get tired I quit. Fruits and potatos dehydrate VERY well, though you have to both rinse and blanch the Irish potatos before you dehydrate them. I rehydrate the potatos in broth and then when I then fry them they are just FULL of flavor! I expect to plant the potatos this week and since they dehydrate so well I will plant more of them than usual
@@theoldfarmerswife5915 Hello back at 'ya! I really enjoyed last years dehydrated vegetables, and so this year I intend to dry a lot more. Especially since high production costs will lead to high store prices.
@Kansas Terri- I have found lately, that if I watch for the rings we really like in the freezer cases at the store, I can buy bags of veggies & dehydrate them, on the off chance the garden doesn't produce as hoped, or supplies at the stores REALLY get bad & the stuff I've had in the freezers are drying nicely & take sooo much less space. Frozen corn, if I remember correctly, 1 of my 1/2 gallon mason jars will hold almost 5# of it dehydrated... and it goes pretty fast too! I have 3 Nesco dehydrators that run almost around the clock. Same way with fresh mushrooms dehydrate really well. I just watch for the cheapest prices these days & fill my dehydrators- about 12 hrs later theres dried mushrooms for days!! I'm right there with you on the dehydrating whatever I can do. As long as you're doing what you can do... the satisfaction AND the full tummy will follow! Dry on & be well! God Bless 🙏
I think home canned food is so pretty. I always have to step back and admire them before I put them away. Recently wanted to make peach cobbler, used peaches I canned 2 years ago that I got fresh at a local farmers market.
I was gifted a bunch of apples from a local grocery store I canned 15 pints of apples to go on my pantry shelf. Also gifted 35 green and red bell peppers those are cleaned cut and dehydrated I’m blessed to get those things that I do not have to purchase or grow myself it is a lot of work. I’m very blessed to get those things and blessed to know what to do with it
Man , I love those shelves ! Danny really did a beautiful job with them :) I don’t have a cellar , so I put up all my Extra food on shelving in my dark living room :)
My mom canned everything she could, because next year there might not be a crop. We gave a lot to family as well.. we had a root cellar that held a lot of root veggies and fruit trees. As for the fruit trees, we could only count on a good crop one time out of two or three years, except for the apples, and they always had a good crop.
I have been known to to start at one store and circle around to get all the stores. Even if I only pick up two items at a store if it’s in the route I stop.lol. My pantry not as blessed as yours but I won’t go hungry before harvest time.
I have food in several places- absolutely- under beds, in a bedroom closet, and of course the regular kitchen pantry which is small In size. Got my jars ready, my pectin, and my plan in place. God bless!
I like ehat you said about having your shelves arranged with all the items grouped together. I got crazy canning last year and just shoved jars wherever they would fit. I've got to get everything out and put them in order! Thanks for the little kick in the butt!
I wish I liked canned green beans, they look beautiful, but having grown up with fresh and frozen, the taste is just too different. I blanch and freeze gallon bags of them. They’re almost as good as fresh. Thank you for the video!
Love your “grocery store” ❤️ My grocery store in our basement, col & dark I just my did my store inventory & I agree with all you said! Keep on canning. I’d love to have a freeze dryer, but my budget says no 😉
Three weeks ago formerly $10 hamburger chub was $24 for a 10 pound chub. Last week I caught it at $17 each. I bought 20 pounds (all they had) and canned it. I got some very cheap off brand 24 oz jars. I'm not risking them in a hot bath, but they'll be just fine for vacuum sealing dehydrated veggies in...no heat required.
Good Morning... Great Video. Wish that I had a homestead. I have grown a garden for years. I thank Danny so much for alerting me to the use of Grazon because I use composted horse manure in my garden. I am looking into what hay producers in my area use. I think that since they rotate with soybeans that they would not use it. At least I pray that is the case. God Bless you Both!
Your videos like this is always inspiring and encouraging. After watching this video I shopped from my pantry and made a chicken gumbo which I opened up not only chicken but jars of broth and okra and tomatoes.
Thank you Ms. Wanda for this reminder to plant more than what you are going to eat so that you can put more up for the other months, just as the pioneers did,.. We are working hard. Very hard.
Thank you for sharing, Could you let us know about the canned ham, what do you do that' lets you pressure can them when the USDA says not to can cured meats? thank you
Ms Wanda- I ditched ball lids after several fails last year. I am now getting the Denali Lids . They are made in the US,! They are tough- ya know like lids used to be. I won't go back to Ball as long as I can get the Denali lids. If you have not heard of them, get on the horn and order you some. I think you will be impressed with the quality! 😃
There's gaps!😄 Something fails every year so I go with extra too and expanding. I got up to a quail slaughter today. Looks like a raccoon family managed to get poop tray down and feasted on them and eggs.😢 I wish I had a basement but in a swampy area and those with them often flood.
Ms Wanda you got the canning humming along What a sweet operation I know you worked very hard to achieve that level. Freeze-dried is popular right now but another overlooked avenue is straight from the BBC Victorian Kitchen Garden with cold storage of fresh veggies like carrots in damp sand that will last a yr. Apples & Pears fresh in a cool house etc. Preserving foods without electricity. All great avenues to extend the life of your survival foods. I've even put limpy carrots back into the ground for a few days and they perked right up. Amazed it worked.
When I have a jar unseal or spoil, I put a slash on the bottom of the jar with a Sharpie. If the next time the jar has a problem, I put an X on the bottom and use it only for dry storage. I have a lot of old jars which I use without problems.
Filling our shelves trying to plant extra utililizing our eggs we have bulking up our food supplies we all better be doing this . Prices are wild and will continue to rise. Remember too look at your local farmers markets also so you don't have to buy from the grocery store shop local farms . Let's all share wealth and knowledge cause knowledge is wealth. Thanks for this great video.
major storm here last week in N. Mississippi - power surge killed a freezer, so busy with blueberry/blackberry jam/jellies, deer meat, dog food.....busy busy
Busy canning dried beans that have been in storage for a while as well as meat and broth while waiting for the garden to come in. There's always something to preserve for the coming days.
I'm finding a few bad ones from last year only with my Ball lids. My Golden Harvest and FORJARS lids I've had no fails at all! I've become quite disheartened with my canning. Everytime I think I have it figured out as to what we need for a year, we get dealt with major life changes that just mess everything up. I cannot grow what we need so I utilize grocery stores, farmers markets, local farms and mennonite farms in my area. This year I might not can at all.....
I love your beautiful white pantry shelves full of jars, Wanda. To me a row of homecanned goods looks like jewels in jars. I like dehydrated things more than canned but it is still beautiful to look at. The containers I ordered from the link in your last video came in today. They were perfect for the coffee and other things that I needed to get into boxes. Blessings to you.
Thank you for the pep talk❤️. I’ve been having health issues and I’m tired all the time but I need to get more on my shelves. Tomorrow I’m going to pick up a 50lb bag of potatoes and a bunch of chicken breasts to can up. I grow potatoes too but with shortages I had a hard time getting seed potatoes last year and they’re saying this year too.
I'm looking forward to filling our empty jars up this summer! We are out of peaches, almost out of carrots and peas (which are planted and growing;)..out of salsa:( everything else should get us through to this year's harvest!
My family didn't can much, everything went into the freezer, but we did do fruit preserves, jams, and salsa. I've got the set up now! You mentioned a couple of things I'm curious about, greens and lard. Also, I thought you said butter.
Just gotta say you are one amazing woman! Your family has such an amazing work ethic. God bless you.👵🙏💖🌱🌱
It give’s me a good feeling when Mrs Wanda said she’s got everything on her grocery list without even going to a grocery store as we know it.
Blessings Cheers from Pennsylvania 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏

Love your shelves. I can a lot also. Wish my shelves were as organized as yours. Thanks for sharing. Love you guys. God bless
Great ideas and thoughts. Love shopping at home.
I love it.
My mother thinks I am crazy for canning.
Shes real quick to ask me for some jelly from my fruit vines though 😅
Excellent tips!! My heart broke when I saw the mold.

The more we can meats, veggies etc, the less we have to worry about losing in our freezer in a power outage.
Thank you for your encouragement and expertise! I need to get busy!

Great advice & great video!!! I learned to can because of your canning pineapple video. You are an inspiration!!!

Running low on Carrots this year. About right on greenbeans. You learn more every year. Love you guys!
Awesome advise Wanda. 🤗💞
Hi Wanda! Glad to see I'm not the only country gal who keeps shelves stocked..
Takes alot of work but well worth it.
It's snowing right now in Alberta. Gardening season doesn't start till the end of May for me.
I have food in several places- absolutely- under beds, in a bedroom closet, and of course the regular kitchen pantry which is small
In size. Got my jars ready, my pectin, and my plan in place. God bless!
Good morning Ms. WANDA. SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
Thank you Miss Wanda for this video. I am encouraged to continue keeping our pantry full of delicious foods. Take care.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How nice for you.

No it would be hard to get a rusted ring off
Got a late start to my morning, but I'm here...👋🏾
Thanks Wanda! I’m working on it!!!🙏🏻😘❤️
Amen Sister, it does not happen over night; but yes start now and start preparing!!! Great Great informative Video ❤️
Do you have a video on doing the peanuts

I wish I had time to can like that and a place to store. Looks wonderful!!!
Wanda, you are such an inspiration! I needed a pep talk re: canning and there you were ready to motivate me! Thank you!
Me too! Glad I'm not the only one in need of a pep talk!
Thank you so much, Wanda. This is great advice, and I now need to get busy!
Thank you Wanda. Very good info!
This advice is real & needed lesson we all need to learn.

Thanks for sharing all of this info. Nice to see full shelves.
That's so awesome! God bless y'all!
Great video Wanda, lots of great information. Thank you so much.

Beautiful grocery store you have Ms. Wanda. My goal is to keep canning more and more so my pantry is nice and full. Thank you for sharing.❤
Thanks so much!!!
You can what you can when you can I love it.
Love your shelves/grocery store!
Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝

Very motivational video Wanda. Yes, we should be busy...God bless!
Good job Wanda 👍💝💝
Would it hurt to coat the lids with a thin coat of vegetable or peanut oil before storing it in a humid place to avoid rusting.
It's so exciting seeing the mother load. I've always wondered about what your "grocery store" looked like. Nice.
Hello Mrs. Wanda have a fabulous 💖 day
Great advice!
Thank you for sharing, Could you let us know about the canned ham, what do you do that' lets you pressure can them when the USDA says not to can cured meats? thank you
I canned my own ham we processed. Usda doesn't have a say in it
Great job Wanda. You have some beautiful shelves.

Are those the brand Lehman's sells?
@@sharonthehuman5954 I don't know. I get the straight from Denali

How do you have Seller in the south I’m in south Louisiana wish I could have one
We have a video on the cellar on Deep South

Strawberries in season here and I bought from local Farmer’s Market. Making jam. Now I’m going to local farm for onions.

Wanda that food looks so delicious!!! That’s what I ate growing up
so do you rotate by the dates.
Yes most of the time. But when a top is rusty, it is used first. Even if it was put up last year.
God bless you and Mr. Danny. Could u do a special video on planting Cherokee tan and asparagus
Maybe a dehumidifier in the basement?
We have one
