    Fantastic video. Thanks for breaking it all down. I am in zone 5a, southeast Ontario. I have a postage stamp yard and manage to produce a lot of food. I have 2 8x4 raised beds and lots of containers. I originally found you when I was searching for loofah gardeners in Canada. I grew them for the first time this year and harvested 9. I am very happy with that as they're not easy to grow in our shorter growing season. Next year I'll start the seeds early and make adjustments later in the season to support the strongest loofah. I really appreciate and enjoy your videos.

I'm so glad you had some success with your loofahs! I love how many ways I can use them, especially certain pots where I don't want to scratch the surface with steel wool. I'm going to start mine a little earlier next year, too!

The only thing I pickled was green tomato relish to keep ahead of the late summer blight. It's very good. It alone saved me about $80. Next year I might pay more attention and keep track for fun. Already I am missing working in my Ontario garden. It's good for my well being. Enjoy winter while looking in the seed catalogue!

    Thanks for doing this because I think of this so often.. I'm a senior who loves gardening but now do container gardening. Talking about lettuce , one store sold a head for $1.99 and another store same week for .99. so I bought at .99 refuse to buy higher. Some now I'm thoughts are to grow the more expensive veggies I use more often and freeze. I'm in Maryland eastern shore (7B) and farmers here are harvesting and selling at farm stores the cabbages broccoli sweet potatoes. , for me with the cost of soil and other nessarry items I buy from them and freeze. I personally grew and froze, leeks, onions, carrots, Japanese eggplant, and peppers. As a female senior, can't do as much but this year my neighbor saw me doing the containers and he planted 3 tomato and gave me some and he and his wife are very picky senior eaters and he accepted the onions from me so that was nice. So for you bravo on the savings , we all have to think about this and choose wisely what is in our best interested. Enjoyed your video.

    Hi I am in Quebec zone 4. its takes approx 200 days to reach maturity in weather over 15 celcius. We have approx 120 days so I guess no luffa for us.e. Would not even know where to purchase seeds to try starting indoors

    • @Escapetothe8thConcession
      @Escapetothe8thConcession 21 день тому

      It is tricky in the colder zones... but I don't know if I would rule them out completely. They can be started indoors--I do even here in 5B. The important thing is they do NOT like their roots being disturbed, so it is best to start them in a type of pot you can plant directly in the ground such as peat pots or self-made newspaper pots. You can warm up the soil where you are going to plant them with a cloche. The other thing is, even though they are hard to peel when still green, it is not impossible. You can still get a useful luffa! As for the seeds, I got mine at OSC (Ontario Seed Company) www.oscseeds.com/product/luffa-gourd-seeds-5345/ . I assume the ship across the country. Good luck if you decide to try them!

    Lovely recipe that rolls out well. For me, I could not get eight crusts out of it; more like five. It might be because I used Crisco all veg shortening (it was on sale) and I was making a very plump apple pie.

    Greetings from Nova Scotia. I have been watching your channel for a while and I love your theme music. I always feel as if I am going to be watching the Great British Baking Show!. Anyway, what i am wanting to ask is if you have ever tried winter sowing in milk jugs and other small containers. I am going to give it a try this next year. I never seem to get my seedlings started early enough and always seem to be behind the 8 ball. I am in Nova Scotia in the Annapolis Valley, zone 6A. This is my 3rd year gardening. I am 78 next birthday and having the time of my life in my garden. Thanks for great content. 🌻

      I love being in the garden, too. It touches something deep inside, doesn't it? I haven't sown in milk jugs...mainly because our milk here in Ontario comes in bags! LOL But, I do use repurposed fruit bowls, punch bowls, or wide vases as glass cloches. I have some lettuce growing under one right now, trying to squeeze one more harvest before the snow flies!

    Can you use butter instead? And will it turn out just as well?

      We do celebrate the second Monday of October...we just had our long weekend last weekend. Totally stuffed with turkey and all the fixin's! But it was yummy! And I used two of my frozen pie shells for a delicious apple pie for dessert. :)

    Great idea for homemade pie crust. How long do they last in the freezer ?

      In an airtight container, they will last about 12 months...but mine never last that long. LOL!

    I'm not a pie maker,but u made this look sooo easy ,I will try it! Can I just freeze the dough,if I portion it out into 8 balls?I make hand pies a lot for my coffee group.

      Sure you can. You don't have to roll it out first. I do that simply for convenience. :)

    Love your video. Just curious. What does adding an egg do to the crust? My mother always added eggs. I never questioned it. Her crust was delicious. Thank you

    I have used this same recipe for more than 50 years, except I use lard more than I use shortening. Only difference is I put dough in frig for at least an hour before rolling it out… holds together better. I do appreciate your freezing all the shells. Will do so once I get some room in my freezer!

      I've never bothered with resting it in the fridge...I worry it would be tougher to roll out when it's cold. I find doing it right away makes it super easy to roll--almost like fabric! I understand about room in the freezer. Seems no matter how big my freezer is, I fill it!
