The green house looks wonderful. Green stalk looks great. I too use my dehydrator for yogurt and I pasteurize my store bought milk to ensure no other bacteria are present. However, I incubate my yogurt for 36 hours - After learning about LB reuteri bacteria and Dr. William Davis findings that yogurt and LB reuteri are not cultured long enough to have a beneficial concentration of the bacteria I did some research into this and found that the bacteria in yogurt benefit from the longer culture times. You can go 30 hours, but there is a significant spike in bacteria if left go the additional 6 hours. So to see if I noticed a difference, I incubated 3 containers - one for 12 hours, one for 24 hours and one for 36 hours. The 12 hour yogurt was as it always has been, mildly sour and acceptably thick. But here is where it got interesting - for the 24 hours jar, the sourness increase was barely detectable but the texture was noticeably smoother and thicker. And at 36 hours, the texture was very smooth and noticeably thicker, almost silky, with only the slightest increase in sourness. With this difference and the knowledge that bacteria have benefitted from longer incubation, I now incubate for 36 hours. I also feel that it keeps longer than the yogurt incubated for shorter times. Thought I would share. Great video. Sorry you got hail - we have had rain after rain after rain - garden is not in totally yet.
Great information! I’m not really interested in making yogurt, as I don’t eat it, but I found this very interesting none the less!
That is very interesting! I just recently started making my own yogurt. I may have to experiment with this.
I don’t make my own yogurt but I love to eat it even if it is store bought. But I know they don’t have the health benefits for making the home made kind. I was reading the comment about the person incubating theirs for 36 hours to get all the health benefits of the yogurt. Hopefully your garden didn’t take too much damage from the hail storm. We have the most wet spring that I can remember in years and terrible storms this year. I love how you take such great care in how you plant in your high tunnel to get the most food out of it.
You need to pay attention to the holes in the grey tray between the layers, make sure the holes in it line up with the pockets, so that everything gets watered well from the top.
Love a planting day! Just an fyi, with your planter it’s Uber important that it’s totally level, otherwise it won’t water properly. That is in the instructions that none of us pay attention to of course as we just put the planters wherever they look good but part of the invention of the watering system was the level unfortunately. (Ask me how I know, haha!). Thanks for another fun day with you my friend!
That makes sense! Dan did level it out for me.
Yes and the watering system on the name brand greenstalk is unique to them. I've tried a few similar products and hated it.
I absolutely love my Greenstalk, I have 5 of them, and I have 2 totally planted out with strawberries, and the others, spinach and lettuce and beautiful flowers, enjoy your Greenstalk ❤happy planting 💐
As a CUSO volunteer overseas I made yoghurt with powdered milk and store bought yoghurt for a starter. My frig was propane so I would set the container on top / over the edge of the back so the rising heat from the frig would warm the yoghurt. Worked like a charm. Want thicker yoghurt? Add more powdered milk.
The little frog as you were planting the melons……..just hopping along behind you 😊
I have a few who have moved in. I’m happy to have them eating the bugs!
I came here to say the same thing 😍
With the white reservoirs between the layers, make sure to line the watering holes up with the plants.
Just came to say this.
Megan Follows will always be Anne of Green Gables, with Richard Farnsworth will always be Matthew. No other remake will do. I do hope PEI can keep this classic Canadian story as part of our Canadian Culture.
I remember the incredible amount of food growing in your High Tunnel last year. Packed to the limit.😊
The red flowers are Salvias.
That’s right! Thank you.
I enjoyed watching you planting the green stalk. I'm also very late to the party. Perhaps it was the lighting, but I thought your plants and the soil medium looked very dry, and I'm interested in how much water you found was necessary to hydrate everything.
I discovered (in my greenstalk) that both oregano and basil can be easily rooted with cuttings. More for your money!
As a knitter, spinner i gasped just a little at the idea of using hand dyed yarn to tie up tomatoes. 😮
I know!!
I love my green stalks. I have 4. I get one every year. My deck looks like a rainbow because each green stalk is a different color. My new one this year is all strawberries no flowers yet but they are growing nicely. Have fun with them planting all the goodies.
Cornmeal is the absolute best thing to kill an ant hill. It has worked so well for me every time!
I absolutely love your UA-cam videos! I love your ranch and the way you show us how to can. And do other things. I also enjoy when you cook.
I have never made yogurt, but I will be trying this recipe hopefully next week. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us and I love your high tunnel. Have a blessed day.
Hello. Make sure you pull the planter away from the wall. Once those melons start growing you could stake them up but your going to want enough clearance around the planter so it doesn't hit anything. I have a small container tomato planted in mine and I used 2 3ft bamboo sticks pushed in to either side of the pocket with string tied between them and the tomatoes lays on it so it does cascade down the planter. So it needs about a foot clearance from my other planters.
Your GreenStalk looks lovely. Making yogurt is something I’ve recently been reading about and will be doing as well.
Just so you know, in case you do not, 😊 Chelsea, you can also get the dried yougurt culture as a freeze dried powder in some pharmacies and health food stores and sometimes this is refridgerated. You can also get it online. I used it with great success for years on the east coast (St. John's Newfoundland) back in the 1970s when no one ate yogurt plain or otherwise, except me and a Norwaegian family iI knew who just randomly move there to work at the university, so I had to make my own. My grandmother always had a cow or two. Another wonderful video. All the best from Edmonton, where we have had a lovely cooler and rainier spring compared to last year. My spinach has not yet bolted.
I live in colorado, have extreme temps but cant image your garden temp struggles. U grow girl..
I've seen people make yogurt in their Instant Pot as well.
That planter would be amazing for when we are stationary in the RV. I have zucchini planted in a 5 gallon bucket. ❤LauraD
HAPPY Father's Day Dan
Nice yogurt tutorial! I used to use a styrofoam cooler with a heat pad in it, set with a timer to control the temperature. Then, my husband got a fold-up proofer from Brod and Taylor, and it's perfect for fermenting thermophilic yogurt!
Good work💖💖💖💖Hard support for you
Chelsea u are such a wealth of information I love listening to to your voice I could listen to u all day and never tire of it
I'd put the wheels on your Green Stock anyways. It will be too heavy later, just in case.
it is father's day and our overnight temp is supposed to get plus 2.... I don't remember getting a frost in june and we have had 2 so far plus cold weather overnight all week.
Hello. thank you for sharing. Wishing you a happy and happy new day 😊. I love❤
All the plant starts in got this year were grown in canada. Not sure why but maybe similar climates. Im in northern Massachusetts. Love watching your videos thanks for all you share.
Just one word of advice is when planting like melons or cucumbers in the greenstalks to take a pole noodle and cut to fit the lip of the greenstalk and slice one side and fit down over the edge of the pocket so that the stem doesn't break as it vines out. It provides a cushion. I have 7 greenstalks now and I learnt that my first season after my vines would snap due to the weight of the fruit or cucumbers. Just thought I'd share that 😊
Thank you!
Thanks for the yogurt tips! I’m hopefully going to do this soon!
I have 2 green stalks that have strawberries. They grow so good.
Thank you for sharing the video. Your greenhouse looks so lovely. I have made yogurt in my instant pot before. But with store milk.
Oh and this is seemingly random but I've been meaning to thank you for the Wild deodorant recommendation. It is the best deodorant I've ever used (and I've tried them all chemicals and naturals across the board ... dove zero and meow meow tweet were my two better experiences, but neither of them are as great as wild. My only complaint is they run out kind of quickly, but I know there's nothing you can do about that 😂. I do appreciate that you are sharing affiliates with products you've personally tested and not just using your brand to help market another brand for the paycheck, but are genuinely testing the products and marketing the ones that are worth it to you and can give reviews. I will happily help support your channel and products that are genuinely worth trying. So thank you for that. Truly. My armpits haven't been happier ;)
Loved this. hugs
Thanks for sharing 😊
Anne of Green Gables fans, have you watched Anne With An E ??? I loved it so much too!
Love that you got a greenstalk!! I ordered my first one for Mother's Day! I'm loving mine!
I have been gardening for years and you still teach me something I didn’t know (or forgot) daily. I live in Texas and can’t grow a watermelon 🍉 to save my life.
I get so drawn to your channel as I find it a little nostalgic. I am a 70 something who raised my children in Puerto Rico. I found myself using many of these techniques in order to provide my family with healthy, nutritious, and affordable food. One of our biggest problems was getting milk that was not loaded with antibiotics or chickens that did not have outrageous as mounts of hormones added. I was able to make yogurt from powdered whole milk.
Good afternoon everyone! I can’t wait for the summer gardens.God Bless
Thank You!
Love being in the garden with you. I agree, it is good for heart & soul. It's therapeutic. I have found that as we are going through some challenges with a few family members that spending time in my garden helps me calm myself and refocus on the important stuff. 😀
Thanks for sharing your tips & knowledge! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
I ordered myself a Greenstalk for Mother's Day. I love it. Love the spinner base. I got the original. Always enjoy your videos.❤❤❤
I'm going to try my hand at yogurt love the stuff
Thanks for sharing, I love home made yogurt.
Thank you for showing how to make yogurt. I love your high tunnel, I’m looking forward to seeing it in a couple of months.
Yay!! You are loving the Greenstalk! I have three of them and adore growing vegetables, herbs and flowers. You are definitely going to love getting more after your deck is done. ❤❤❤❤
I have three also. Love them. One is just strawberries bt the other two have a mix of everything
Hi Chelsea. I live in Prince George and got the original greenstalk planter last fall. I planted it with strawberries, but due to our cold winters, will have to transplant berries into growboxes for the winter. I might get a 2nd greenstalk this fall for herbs next year. Love your channel.
I thought as much about the strawberries.
..FFirst of all I hope your back is feeling OK l love watching you in the garden I think there's two of you one when you cook. And one when your in the garden I thought you already had one of the planters guess who can't remember what they're called. But everyone seems to love them so I hope all you have planted comes out great. Great to hear the bunkie is going down well who could resist that beautiful cabin I remember when it was first started. Dan and you have done amazingly with it, considering everything else you have to do. Good luck with it.forgot to say I hope you have a good father's day Dan I'm sure you did. Ps who is Anne of the green gables ive looked for the film but not the book sounds interesting.
I was checking YT for the past three days for a video update! Here you are :'D
Anne of Green Gable is my favorite book and movie too!!!
I just received my greenstalks as well. I love how you planted them up. Beautiful, next is high tunnel 😊, I talked my hubby into it.
Question, do you have to use raw milk for the yogurt. I get A2 milk from the organic market ?
Thank you and I love watching your channel. Your inspiration is very much loved.
God bless 🙏 ❤
If you mix half cup borax and half cup sugar, sprinkle near ant hill they will take back to the Queen and in a very short time they will be gone.
The red flowers are salvia. They're one of my favorites. I just found your channel yesterday and subscribed. I'm learning so much already!
Chelsea, the red flowers are salvia, as other's have mentioned. They are very versatile, come in different colours, can handle a bit of drought and frost! 😊
I used to tie up my tomatoes until I saw how Charles Dowding trellises his. I adapted it a bit for gardening on our South Dakota farm! Sure makes supporting tall plants a snap! Love your gardening heart! ❤️
Hello, South Dakota!
Scarlet sage(red); ❤️ the mini bells; always plant them!
Everything is looking fantastic as always Chelsea. I love my Green Stalk they really are great for anyone but especially small spaces. I've grown strawberries, veg, herbs, and even just some Supertunia Vistas, the “Bubblegum” variety and it was a literal tower of pink loveliness!!! It was so beautiful. I just like switching them up. One I keep for just herbs and veg now but the other I just do whatever I feel year to year. Lol
Thanks for sharing and being an absolute delight. God bless you and the family always. Happy Father's Day Dan. ~Lisa
I’m happy for you to get the Greenstalks! I hope they do well for you. I’ve wanted to get one for strawberries, but I tried one of the Dollar Tree ones and it dried out way too fast in our dry climate. I couldn’t keep it watered enough. I don’t know if the Greenstalk would stay moist better or not. I’m surprised you have to worry about tomato diseases, since you have a dry climate like mine in SW Idaho.
I have 2 of the 7 tier greenstalks, and I absolutely love them. I put them at the two ends of my 24’ raised bed on pavers for stability. I bought the turntables, and love them, also! Because the ground was a little unstable, I only went 5 tiers high and ordered another turntable and watering top to make another that is 4 tiers. I have planted lettuce and carrots in them so far. I’ve never had such success with my romaine and spinach! Lots of salads already! One end gets shaded part of the day, and the lettuce has not bolted, yet. (The spinach did, and I’m about to reseed.). Long story short, they’re worth every penny!
Someone may have commented already that your red flower is annual salvia😊
I take starter off of every batch and i do flavor mine with vanilla and you can use it if you forget i have done it'Just tips
You could grow okra in the high tunnel center row but it does grow fast and tall. Annie oakly is variety is more tallerent to cooler temperatures.
I have watched “ANN OF GREEN GABLES” too many times to count. I have them on VCR tapes. I have the set of books too.
When you say Anne of Green Gables is your favourite movie…you are talking about the Megan Follows version aren’t you? It’s the only one for me x
I think u have a small frog or toad in your high tunnel. You can see him when you planting your green planter.
I use my instant pot
I love my 4 leaf and my 1 original greenstalk they are great. Fellow smaller youtuber here from Pennsylvania grow zone 7B Love and hugs Sincerly Melody
Also what saved my back was using my chicken feeder scoop to put the dirt un the planters hope this helps
Loved watching the toad in the background jumping in your tomatoes 😂
7:45 - 7:52 Frog! 😂
I use store bought organic kefir for my culture.
I have 2 and love them! Sold in East Tennessee by a great family. I use them for herbs and strawberries :)
Do corn meal for the ants. They cant digest it but try. They bring it back to the hill and feed the queen. Everyone dies. Takes 1-2 weeks
❤❤❤
💓💓
3:55 cal - i - bruh - coe - uh ❤ they’re mini petunias at my house :)
The red flower is a red salvia
Did you ever finish the little cabin that was already on your property finished?
Green Stalk says to use potting mix not potting soil. The mix will not compact, unlike what potting soil does. It lets water flow through.
The hardest part is trying to figure out what to plant. LOL
Thanks for sharing👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸 Maybe you plant some Rosa damascena 🌺🦋🌺🦋🌺🦋I make my own Joghurt too🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺🌸
My name is Maryla which is pronounced like Marilla in Anne of Green Gables, LOL.
She was a role model to me growing up.
The one flower you didn't know the name of is Salvia.
If you planted the oregano in the GreenStalk, I recommend that you remove it, and plant in a pot. 🤦🏻♀️I forgot oregano takes over everything, and I planted it in my GreenStalk. What a mess I had!
love to enter your giveaway, however it seems open to US residents only?
How was the shipping for the Greenstalk to Canada? I've been wanting to get one for my Mom
It’s was free but I’ll double check because I know they had a sale in June with free shipping.
Awesome, thank you 😁. I figure the free is within the US only. Im so happy you have them to try now!
Can't you hang grow lights to extend your growing season?
Not enough power down there for that.
I wonder if solar lights would work?
I was going to order two but they wanted over $200 to ship them.
They do have free shipping right now as far as I know.
Hi from Anne's playground...PEI Canada. Did you order your Greenstalk from the States? The exhange rate is what is making me hesitate.
I did, yes. We can’t wait to travel there one day.
@@LittleMountainRanch Me too. I'll be interested to see how the Greenstalk makes out in Canadian weather.
Do you need to do the pantry challenge to get in the giveaway ❤
I have grown with limited success, the Musk melon, and cantaloupe. I have been making my own yogurt for about 45 years. So much better than store bought. I was going to sign up for your giveaway and was disappointed to see it was only for USA residents. A disappointed Canadian.
I’m sorry about that! I joined the collaboration before I realized that. I have another giveaway coming up that is for both Canada and the US so you can keep your eye out for that.
@@LittleMountainRanch I forgot to mention that I grew those things in the garden in a zone 3b garden in Yorkton, Sask..
without your own yogurt, can u use apple cider vinegar? as a starter
No, that would make a cottage type cheese, not yoghurt but you can buy cultures.
All I want to win is some cookies homemade cookies
What is the name of the ant powder called that Chelsea said
Diatomaceous Earth
Diatomaceous earth
What do guests do for showers and toilet? Or have I missed something?
Outhouse and shower in our trailer or in the house.
I love all but the lack of toilet. Afraid that would be a deal breaker for me.
Add the wheels. You will be grateful if you need to move it.
Hate to say it but I don’t like my GreenStalk. The watering holes plugged up easily so you can’t just water from the top. If you don’t pick similar water requirements the plants suffer. I have had more die than live even though I do have a green thumb.
