    I had a neighbor who was a delivery guy for for a variety of foods. One day he called me over to give me something. It was three bunches if celery. I thanked him. I live alone and wondered what I would do with three heads of celery. I found a recipe online for cream of celery soup. I made it and gave a pot of it to my neighbor. I thought it was one of the best things I ever made. My neighbor was over the moon about it. I didn't think I'd find a new trick at my age. Live and learn. Cheers!

    I will say one thing, the rain gave you a great garden this year plus I think this is the best crop of weeds you ever had also. When it rains like that and gets warm you might as well just let the weeds go cause there is no way to keep up with them. The soup was just awesome. I would never think to can a creamed soup. Will be so interesting to see how the garden does and what will grow at the new place as its further north, I believe.
    You folks have built up this homestead so nicely and the next people to own it will be thrilled with all the buildings and the condition of the soils and the buildings. etc. The chickens running in the garden is such a beautiful sight...green with the color of the birds...WOW.

    My mum always made an old boiler hen recipe in winter. She’d cook the hen in the pressure cooker with lots of winter vegetable and water to get a beautiful broth. Then she’d make pretty much a white sauce but using the broth instead of milk with a butter and flour roux, all served over rice. A real winter favourite.

    What a gorgeous harvest you had. Such beautiful chard and celery (and some celeriac?), leaves, stems, and seed!
    You should have had some absolutely scrumptious and hardy soups, especially with the rutabaga, which should go well with leeks, and pork, or bacon! Later, what we call "cock-a-leeky" soup (or Potatoe-Leek Soup). Chicken base/stock, white onion, then add potatoes, cubed celery, finely sliced leeks, cross stem. Uncooked thick cut bacon, and your favorite spice blend, like Herbes de Provence (oh, wow, I had just started to write that when you said and added it. Fantastic flavors!
    Also, there is nothing like soup made in a big huge stock pot! It's a rule!! (Should almost be a law of the kitchen!)
    Great size batch, so many uses, full of nutrients for the winter larder! Seems like you came through well!

  • @akfroggie2177
    @akfroggie2177 Před rokem +5

    I've loved your gardening videos, and they always inspire me by demonstrating how much better we can do in our difficult conditions here. But it's good to hear you're heading over that way, because this area (I'm very near where you are now) is starting to feel almost 'suburban' by Alaska standards. If we were younger, we'd probably be doing similar. We own some VERY remote and unbelievably beautiful Alaskan property where we'd intended to retire (where it would be possible to literally be 100% self-sufficient), but time caught up with us, and it's just too hard to get there now. So while your new place is a lot further from the easy fishing and affordable supplies, and the soil is even more challenging for gardening, it's more the 'real' Alaska, and it will be great to follow your adventures there.

    Just a suggestion with your celery, when it gets tall and starts to make stalks, use a soft rubberband to hood the stalks together and it creates a thickened ‘head’ with beautiful light green and tender stalks inside. Just try a few and see if you like the result! We also drag the cauliflower leaves up over the head of our cauliflower too and rubber band it right when it starts to make a head. That keeps the head clean and nice and white when you harvest it.😊

    Ariel, your soil is just soooo gorgeous. Watching you dig a spot for the garlic was just perfection...healthy soil and those cloves are just going to love it. You guys have put in major effort to make it so. Thanks for taking us along as you garden!

      @@SimpleLivingAlaska I would be sad to leave all that fabulous compost behind, lol. So much work went into the garden. But it would be silly to transport it 100s of miles...

    Besides the very informative videos you guys always put out, I just wanted to highlight, how beautiful they are as well. You guys have a wonderful eye for nature and her beauty. So thank you for taking such pretty shots and including them in these, what feels like professional production videos! Your passion shines through your work.

    I must say I will miss your garden and other things this coming year but the move, how you start everything for next year will more than make up for it all, hope that you have some-kind of a tractor to use in all that new country to work in/on, are you going to move the sawmill first, how about the chickens and their house ?, you going to start over fresh with them too, when I saw Eric taking down the electric fence I know you were moving for sure, can you post what town your going to be close to or near, be safe and may all your hopes and dreams come/happen like you want, I do see a root cellar coming your way I think, Later

    When I learned we would be moving this year it absolutely broke my heart that I wouldn't be having a garden! But when mid June came and I was able to start 2 tomato, 2 pepper and 2 cucumber plants... It was as if I had won the lottery! Any garden and any harvest no matter how small is vital for my sanity. I'm sure you will start something even if it's only a few plants.... just for sanities sake! LOL
