2024 Potato Harvest pt. 1 (No talking)
Переглядів 386Місяць тому
Part of this years potato harvest. Of the potatos planted, many in this patch were viking and yukon gold potatos. I felt that these potatoes yielded decently despite lack of garden bed preperation/fertility. I initially started with approximately 5lbs of seed potato per variety. Some of the yukons were grown in grow bags which will be shown in part 2. If you would like more free weekly content ...

Flint Knapping Obsidian With Natural Tools | Triangular Corner Notch Point
Well, now I know what video to show people after I tell them I'm deathly allergic to corn smut, and they ask, "What is that?"
❤❤❤
I tried 2 ways. 1: Took seeds out of dragon fruit and put them in dirt. 20 days later = Nothing. 2: Put seeds in zip lock with wet paper towel for 4 days then in dirt coved with plastic for 4 days. 8 days = 2/7 are starting to come out of the dirt (so far as of today). 😀😀 Plastic definitely helped! For sure recommend doing it that way. Seeds don't really need sun just keep the dirt wet.
Thanks for leaving your experience for others to try! I eventually learned over time how hardy these plants are. I ended up getting rid of/composting many of the plants I show in the video and recycled the leftover dirt. Many of the seeds were still germinating in a tub full of potting soil despite no sunlight or water. The plants are just tough. The method I used seemed to work great, but as with many things there is never one "right way". These are tropical plants so they definately appreciate the added moisture.
Good morning, have you tried nixtamalized cooked corn in this mill? Thank you, Susanne
@@susannehager1092 Hi Susanne, I have tried grinding nixtamalized corn in the mill with the attatchment. It works great. I had to adjust it a little at first but eventually figured it out.
@@flintandfish Thank you very much! With best wishes from Germany, Susanne
First of all, thank you for showing us the full process, and second respect for Casio! 👍
Thank you for watching! Thanks for the watch compliment too, Casio watches tend to be loved or hated in my experience, but I am glad that someone appreciates them like I do.
@@flintandfish Right now I’m trying to learn bow making. I have three staves of White Oak, but they are still seasoning, I’m preparing all the tools that I need for that job)
@@Snimaju_Shljapu Take your time and don’t give up. It takes a bit of patience if doing everything by hand and with minimal tools like I do in the video. I hope to make another board bow and a hackberry short bow in the coming months and then I might get my hands on some Osage and let it season for the next year or two.
Great except it would be greater to have your hands in view. Thanks for presenting.
These are very good with wild mushrooms and too much garlic.
I will have to try that sometime! Especially since morels are coming up.
I bought some of this on ebay, it is impossible to knapp, up there with quartz, or chalcedony
It is weird for me. I bought a 10-20 lb box from a guy on Etsy and some rocks were easy to knap, others were basically concrete. Flakes don't want to run even with a good platform. I tried to heat treat some to 300 degrees F which worked for some of the easier rocks, but still need to up the heat for the more grainy/dark chert.
Не палите траву, идиоты, пожары тушить замучаетесь.
Doc told me to do this once a month also.
Nice work. In early stages it will help to hit above the edge on a steep surface. Also the cortex is robbing your energy. If you can avoid hitting it the flakes will release easier. Hope this helps. 👍
Thanks for the advice! I will certainly try it out.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
This was perfect timing to post this. I'm in 2 minds of which mill to get. As an older female I worry about manual grinding but with future lack of power looming I'm stuck on which grinder to get. Does this one have a motor that could be attached later on if the need arises? I'm thinking of using it that way with a solar generator
This one doesn’t come with a motor, but you can buy one separately through wondermill I believe. I am hoping to invest in one somewhere down the line. I learned that the hard way after manually grinding 5 lb of wheat and corn one weekend. If I were going to buy a mill with the intent of only grinding flour I would save and invest in the country living mill which also has the fly wheel and option for a motor. I am sure you are aware of it but I just wanted to mention it.
@@flintandfish thank you so much for your reply. I am very very new to grain mills so no I don't know the different brands that are available especially here in Australia where milling our own grain isn't very common
@@cherriebaars3971 No problem! A lot of the gardening/homesteading communities that I keep up with often reccomend a few of the mills. I encourage you to do a lot of research and figure out which mill best suits your needs before buying since these mills are pretty expensive without accesories. The selling point for my Wondermill Jr was that I could grind both wet or dry foods. The Country Living grain mill exceeds in milling dry grains into fine flour, but should not be used for grinding nixtamalized corn for tortillas. They do make a nut butter attatchment that you can use for oily foods, but it is relativley expensive (about $200 USD). The Country Living mill is already about $700 USD so anything more seemed out of my budget personally.
The best vids have the lowest views anyway I'm doing a hide with the fur but had to go to Los Angeles for a week for work and came back to mold. I'll be egg tanning tomorrow. Subscribed @TarravilleAdventureRanch and Hi74iH
Mold seems to be a common issue. I wrapped mine in a plastic bag and kept it in my extra freezer then dethawed before fleshing. I hope your egg tan goes/went well! Thanks for the subs too!
Awesome! I need to try this sometime soon :)
It was super fun to make and tastes pretty good, especially when paired with other dishes. The hardest part is just doing it! The person who made the recipe has a good in depth video showing how she does it. I encourage you to check some of her stuff out if you are needing more inspiration/motivation.
I'm going to buy more to eat & plant 1/4 of the bag , give seeds/beans to friends . The local seller has no Ayocote Morado beans for seed .
I found it interesting that none of the local seed/gardenigng stores around me sold the beans. I need to go check out all the Mexican food/goods stores around me and see what beans they offer. Would be a good opprotunity to pick up a proper tortilla press and dust off my spanish skills should the need arise.
The local seed seller , sells a bean close to this for $00.30 , per bean . Or $4.50 for at least 15 beans + shipping . This is the way to go . @@flintandfish
They have the best flavor of any bean . I think as a side , they only need a small bit of salt at the end of cooking , a small bit of butter & garlic . Put the work into the rest of the meal . The are good as they are , you won't make them better just different .
Definatly one of the best beans I have eaten flavor wise! I am excited to see how they hold up against some of the heirloom beans I plan on growing this summer.
Looks good, happy smithing.
It will definatley get the job done, just need to dress the edges and build a stand!
I go foraging in North Carolina. Can never find one. I see trees but never fruit
Time/locaiton is important! I used to run into the same issues. Try to find patches/groves with many different trees of various ages early in the summer and check between late August and early-mid October. I found most of my fruit on trees that were 15-20 ft tall and had a trunk diameter of about 3+ inches. There were some outliers though so take it with a grain of salt. The secret for my success was going into relatively heavy brush far from trails and paying attention to the number of individual plants in an area. Shake every older tree (gently) at the base even if you don't see fruit sometimes they hide behind leaves.
Harvest time may be different for you I am not super familiar with the growing season on the Eastern side of the US. But gennerally late summer, ealry fall is what I have heard/seen.
Ive done 4 in the last couple years that are nice but not as quiet as flexible as id like. I need to try this method.
Give it a try! Mine is pretty soft in most areas. I did leave a wet area on the hide to dry overnight thinking I broke the hide enough, but it dried pretty stiff. If you tanned it good you can try to wipe tougher areas with some warm water and continue to break/soften until dry and then add some oil. Or so I hear. Im gonna redo some spots in the future.
Thanks for the review. I've been trying to decide which mill to buy for quite a while and I'm leaning towards this mill. This was helpful 👍💝
Thank you for watching! I am glad I could help you in your decision making. I remember being a bit overwhelmed when I was making my decision between models/brands.
woooah!
great video!! i learned a lot (: can’t wait to see the grown harvest
If they turn out ill have to send you some to grow
Dig deeper bro the large tubers are lower down the ones close to the roots are usually still developing good find
Thank you for the info. I will have to go out and dig some more with a better shovel.
Memo 🐠🐠🐠🐠
They'll taste good no matter how many. Keep trying your on the right track😊.
Thank you Robin! I hope to enjoy some of my harvest this week! I am excited to plant even more slips next season.
Off topic to your video but trying to get into hunting. Do you recommend the upland game hunting bible & understanding white tail
I haven't got to read that book yet. If you are new to hunting I recommend checking out Steven Rinella's books "Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volumes 1 and 2"(big and small game). Check out the meateater youtube as they have tons of good videos and info. That is what got me into hunting when I was 18.
Nice
Thanks!
I feel like that grow room could grow a little bit more than dragonfruit
I grow all of my own seedlings for the garden on my grow rack. I also used to dabble in microgreens, but that was short lived. I hope to have more videos/projects with it in the near future to see what its capable of.

Paw paws are one of my dream fruits to taste, we have lots of good anonnaceas around here in South America but no paw paws, looks delicious!
It is a shame that ripe pawpaws don't ship well. I hope you get to try the fruit eventually! I have never been to South America, but my grandfather is from Argentina so I wish to go down there and check out what fruits and foods are abundant down there that we don't get in the United States.
I live in south Brazil, so I'm actually close to Argentina! Beautiful place, I hear. And I also hope to get my hands on some pawpaws. Eat some good ones for me! @@flintandfish
Bro i hate that i havent found any yet. Ordered some online but came like picked too early or something. Might have to try again this year
They are highly sought after, which makes them hard to find. I find it funny that many people don't know what pawpaws are, but the ones who do tend to go pick a ridiculous amount. I would go try it out again and go where others haven't because of the walk or drive. Also look to see if there is a community garden/orchard that has any growing near you. I got so desperate to try the fruit I ordered some cold-stratified seeds online and am trying to raise saplings on my own if that says anything, haha. keep trying to find them though, they will taste even sweeter when you do find them!
Give you a tip when canning with a pressure canner add 2 Tablespoon of cream of tartar to the water in the canner it will help to keep the inside of the canner look like new
Thanks for the tip!
I’m going to try this trick out when I can my tomatoes! Just purchased an all American 921 in blue & I want it to look pretty! Lol
I’m from my knowledge anything with tomatoes you shouldn’t have to pressure canned you can steam can or water bath especially you’re putting lemon juice in like I do and you should be using canning salt
In regards to acidity and lemon juice, the National Center For Home Food Preservation states, "Tomatoes for many years were considered high acid. However, new varieties, over-mature fruits, and tomatoes from dead or frost-killed vines may have a pH greater than 4.6. The USDA and University-based researchers have determined that to ensure a safe acid level for boiling water and pressure canning of whole, crushed, or juiced tomatoes, add 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes". For salt, you don't have to add salt for this recipe its based off of your preference, though canning salt is ideal for pickling/pickled/fermented foods, it is not necessary, just more ideal for keeping the brine clear/more appetizing, the National Center For Home Food Preservation doesn't recommend using low sodium salt though for fermenting. Thanks for watching and leaving some input though, let me know if you would like some links to the sources I am referencing.
@@flintandfish I believe there’s different ways of everything when I first started canning tomato juice I would just make sure that the jars were really hot. I put the hot boiling tomato juice and put the lids on and set it aside and it would snap. It was sealed, but now I use a steam canner for all my tomato juice all my pickles and diced tomatoes. I’m 56 years old and I’m not dead yet.
@@scottjkernIm sure the USDA is overly cautious as they give some room for error since they know everyone isn’t going to run their kitchen like a lab setting. I come from a science/lab background and try to follow rules and protocol to my best ability. Thats just my personality, like I said in the video im no expert, just showing people how I do it according to the information I have on hand! Do what works best for you, the only reason I pressure can the tomatoes is because they recommend it in the USDA book as it is supposed to keep quality and nutrition in the tomatoes a little better than water-bath canning.

I immediately recognized the iconic voice of the report of the week.... AKA Reviewbrah critic of Running on Empty Food Review UA-cam channel. lol.
I was unaware that he even had a radio show! Now that you mentioned it I can't believe I missed the connection. I will have to tune in more often and see what he broadcasts.
I have tried sending postcards to radio station and got nothing back shortwave radio is dead
Sometimes you have to be the change in the world that you want to see. I have faith that it will come back. People say the same thing about cb and ham.

03:19 That's mini USB
Thank you for the correction. I made this video at 3 AM after working on some things on my website so my brain was not functioning at its peak performance. Haha Thanks for watching!
@@flintandfish 🙂👍
Got my PL-880 in yesterday. I was shocked it had USB-C, surprisingly noted with a sticker on page 2 of the manual that it had its USB port upgraded. I too, am going to have to run an antenna wire. The built in extendable one only picks up FM and 1 AM channel. (Central Arkansas). I am a bit disappointed that the "SSB" does not have an on screen visual indicator. I also cannot get it to cover the NOAH Weather frequency.
I wasn't aware that they upgraded the USB port. I bought this radio spring of 2022 so the change is relatively new. I'm sorry to hear that your standard antenna isn't picking up much, I find it weird that yours doesn't specify the usb/lsb when in the respected ssb, setting mine does. I also can't pick op NOAA, I think that station is broadcasted on more of VHF frequency. I can pick it up on my cheap Baofeng GT-5R. Thanks for letting me know about the new changes and thanks for watching. I'll be sure to put out a few more radio videos as I get deeper into the hobby. I have been meaning to get my HAM license and learn a bit more about radios. Might get a new cb radio base station with ssb and make my own wire dipole antenna. Time will tell.
Dude don't worry I caught a 50lb cat with a 1/0 hook on 17lb sunline supernatural
Thanksgiving leftover shrimp and clam and fish juice with some breading and batter
Sounds like a fun time! Hook size and gear is sometimes overhyped/emphasized, because of the "bigger is always better" mentality. But hey, that's what drives sales in the industry! Thanks, for watching! In the case of this video though, I 100% believe that making these leaders helps keep fish on. Your 50 lb cat on 17lb line is an anomaly and most people would either be fighting the fish for 30 min or snap their line.
