Just made my first batch and my 8 little dogs all love them. I actually made them for my little Pom Roxy who is food intolerant to Kibble and shop bought dog biscuits which give her grand mal cluster seizures. Roxy is so happy eating biscuits again.

I noticed that you didn't add any liquid with the chicken before you canned.. Is that correct?

I’m so confused. I have the presto precise electric canner and it told me 40 min for pints…..I’ve been canning only for 8 months so 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi, from Southwest VA. I can't wait to plant outside, so I'm growing an inside garden this winter. My miniature cherry tomatoes, and spinach are doing well. My indoor Meyer lemon tree produced this year. That was exciting. Garlic has been in the ground since Nov. I really wish I had a small heated greenhouse, because I have plants in sunny windows and under grow lights, plants everywhere. Take care.

Great vid, Can you make a pizza right away with the dough ? does it have to sit ?

What are your frost dates?

I am so glad I found your channel! I moved to the Shenandoah Valley (zone 6b/7a) last July. I can't wait to start our small vegetable garden and our flower gardens. I too will have a dedicated zinnia patch. It's my favorite flower! It is so nice to get recommendations for the varieties of vegetables that will do well here.

Loved this video! I live in Virginia 6b/7a and it is so nice to see someone gardening in my zone! It is just me and my husband at home now but I do feed my adult kids and grandkids sometimes and always share the harvest with anyone that wants or needs it. I consider my little plot of land a homestead for the same reasons you gave! I am actually going back and watching all of your videos, love them!

Purple peppers are smaller in size , recommend only one plant It will out produce all other pepper plants like 4 to 1

Great seed review video. Thanks for sharing!

I notice you aren't planting potatoes for 2025. Not worth it? I do pretty good with them. I'm in VA also. I grow Huckleberry Gold (dark skin but yellow interior) and Purple Viking (mottled dark exterior and white interior). I grow some others also but the Purple Viking stays hardest longest--it is now Jan. 15 and they are hard in coolish inside temps. Did you also know you can grow a later crop of potatoes? Yes on the March/April but then also by mid-June. I do this every year. Those are my storage potatoes and also my seed potatoes for next year. (I buy new certified seed potatoes every 2-3 years.) I learned about this later planting idea from Ira Wallace in her excellent book called Vegetable Gardening in the Southeast. I'm old and have been doing this for years. Hers is the best book I've found and I've read a lot. She is with Southern Exposure Seed Exchange in VA. I am in the region she calls Upper South. If you haven't gotten this book I can highly recommend it. Her timing ideas and techniques are spot on and if you have a general or specific question---let's just say she probably cover it in her book. I think she has a newer one fine-tuned just to VA which I can't vouch for because I'm 100% satisfied with the one I have from her. Her planting charts are extremely helpful.

I love gardening, too. I'm winnowing down varieties, too. There was one year when I grew 100 heirloom varieties of tomatoes and this was before people appreciated their flavor more than their looks and I ended up throwing a lot over the fence due to splitting and such. While most of them tasted really good they were a pain to work with being so irregular. Since then I've been on a mission to focus on smaller tomatoes, pastes, and one tried-and-true cherry (Sun Sugar). By the way, have you split your cherries and dehydrated them? We do and then freeze them for use in the winter and they truly are like candy. What a refreshing surprise in whatever you put them in whether raw or cooked. As an extra comment about tomatoes: I've got an adult son who is quite picky with food colors etc and he is begging me to go back to planting more Aunt Ruby's German Green which stay green and taste really good, but are larger than I'd like. While most people love lycopene or such from the dark colors, he is trying to avoid that by going green. Don't ask me.

The reason I'm being so obnoxious with recommendations is because we live in the same kind of climate and I'm just saying what has been great for us. We love Johnny's Seeds Corinto cucumbers as they are uniform and early and never get bitter at all. Issue: hybrid seeds which are too expensive for me. I like Double Yield which is supposed to be a pickler so if you leave it on the vine it doesn't get really long but it gets adorably fat. It won't get bitter, even if left until totally yellow on the vine. It has a very white flesh and it is always crisp. For melons: The very best canteloupe I've found is the Crane melon. Rind gets orangey when ripe. It is amazing tasting and the texture is marvelous. And then there is the truly awe-inspiring Bidwell Casaba! It is VERY large and has GREAT texture and taste. Ripens to yellow with green stripes. You won't regret either of those two melons. We do cover our melons (not the plants, just the melons) with Agribon to keep the crows away and so far that has worked. Last year we even had to net our cucumbers from the birds. Sigh.

My husband and I competed last year on pumpkins. I won with Atlantic Dill but it wasn't that huge. It was 35 lb. Yup, just one pumpkin made it against the bugs. Never bother with that except as a novelty. Flesh is kinda stringy and it is not that tasty. We grew two shockingly resistant squash that you might try sometime and they were really good--rampicante (moschata; can harvest when green as a good summer squash or let harden and orange up in garden as a great winter squash) and the amazing Green Striped Cushaw (mixta; gets large, lasts and is great). We haven't had much bug pressure at all on either of these I mentioned.

People LOVED the taste of Rattlesnake pole beans but I've given up completely on pole beans due to Mex Bean Beetles. I don't spray. I see you focus on bush also. Are the beetles the reason for you also?

You might want to try Lesya pepper--omgosh! Good green but excellent when red--sweet and very thick flesh. Heavy peppers. I sell peppers and people almost fight to get them before I sell out. If you want something super prolific and fun, think about trying shishitos. My sister taught me that you just cook them in oil and salt in a pan on the stove and they are wonderful. She was right. Not hot. Just great. I'm in same zone (Shen Co) and they work very well out here.

I love Sun Sugar. Basically the same, I hear. Curtis Stone says that Sun Sugar retains excellence longer than Sun Gold during the growing season, without getting smaller or less sweet. It also doesn't crack. We are hooked on Sun Sugar and, like Sun Gold to you, it is our forever choice. I'm in VA, also. We are winnowing down to our favs on everything, too.

Great presentation and easy to follow.

SVB have been the bane of my existence too in Virignia- I was never able to get a good summer squash or zucchini harvest UNTIL I tried the Rampicante Squash variety. It's extermely resistant to SVB and powdery mildew and it's usually not until September that I start to see even a hint of those things on my older as the growing season winds down. You can pick the squashes young for a soft-skinned summer squash or let them mature on the vine for a winter squash that can store for many months.

I like your plan to hone in on peppers and tomatoes. I've been a gardener for a long time but this was my first year in a home with a side yard for a big garden so I can really plan out everything well. What I learned last year was I can totally get tired of tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes.

What did you do with the jar of chicken that did not seal? Maybe it’s already addressed in the comments, but I would like to know.

Loved this!!! So excited for your garden updates this growing season!

Does you're release some water out of the locking value before it locks?

This video made my day, thank you for sharing this beautiful thing on the internet.❤❤❤

I love this!!! Make one bottle and then splitting up into gift bottles.

Let's say I do this before bed. Can I just leave these in the canner until morning?

So glad I found you as my book disappeared. There was only one step I forgot...and that was having the pressure knob off until venting was done. Saved my bacon. Lol, really my turkey bone broth.

Do you put any vinegar in your canner water to prevent cloudy jars?

Thanks for the video. Hubby usually pressure cans, we are looking into an electric canner. Do you use vinegar in your canner to discourage cloudy jars from hard water?

Thank you só much for showing us to work with the electric canner ❤❤❤

BBQ chicken pizza yum. TY

16:46 how did it magically say 75 minutes countdown?

Thank you... doing this this evening.... same amazing canner. First time here. Just subscribed : )

Thank you Joy Homestead. I am a beginner with my digital canner my daughter bought me. I have beans to do, and your explanation was so wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. God Bless. BJ

Joy Best Presto video ever. Is yours. 6, 12 or 17 quart?

I use nitrile gloves for removing it and kneading. Without the gloves....it gets stuck under my nails which is annoying.

Fun ideas....salami pizza. Cheadar Brats pizza. Yesterday I used nacho spice cheese....it was excellent. Mozzarella is nice but 4 cheese blend makes the best pizza. Also get pizza sauce in a squeeze bottle....very convenient and mess free

Thanks, does the canner have a stacking rack for smaller jars?

I just got one if these canners and appreciate the tutorial! I just read that heating the lids is no longer necessary. I guess it's because they no longer use real rubber on them. It's listed as a "Canning Mistake," but I've been doing it most of my life with no problem. Go figure ...

New sub. How long can I freeze my pizza dough? Also, I have the Cuisinart bread machine. And it only allows 4 cups of flour max. I’ll have to adjust. I really liked the way you perfectly explained everything. Thanks. Linda

Wow, where were these sightings? Was this the latest geomagnetic storm?

So,you do not skim the foam off the top before putting the jam in the jars for canning?

These are called runcifers in Caribbean.

Thanks wanted to know how to get 15 lbs. For Tuna

Excellent, excellent video! Thanks so much.

Didn’t catch how long to process them for.

Fresh seems to roll out easier but thawed wasn't much trouble either.

Thank you!
