Then any chicken you want top with potatoes, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Add 1full bottle of honey mustard salt and pepper to taste and cook on high for 4 hours. I have done it on med for 8 hours before. No water needed

    Thanks for sharing your greenstalks with us! Just an idea that I did this past summer here is Oz...I made a kitchen garden for my balcony which is closest to my kitchen...all my herbs went into the pots. It was such a great idea that some of my friends did it too, even the ones with no garden, who just had a balcony in an apartment! All we have to do is step outside and snip off what we want. I've now planted some lettuce in a mini lightweight greenhouse out there and just snip off the leaves for a salad. My veggie patch is further away from my kitchen so this worked so well for convenience! Happy planting!

As you were planting your own beanstalks and sharing about being overwhelmed with choices, and losing sight of then returning to the starting goal, I realized that I have been implementing that same approach recently. Feeling overwhelmed is so familiar, but taking a step back and regrouping, simplifying, these are new to me. And I learned it from you. 🙂 I so enjoy how you give us the whole picture, not just the familiar or successful bits.

I DO have a casserole crockpot though which is great if I want to do a casserole especially for a party or buffet meal. Enchiladas turn out great. In a regular crockpot use any of your freezer meal meat marinades you have posted recently. My family's favorite favorite meal in the crockpot is one called Key West Ribs from Pillsbury. Been making. It for probably 20 years at least. 2 1/2
    lb country-style pork loin ribs
    1/4
    cup finely chopped onion
    1/4
    cup barbecue sauce
    1
    teaspoon grated lime peel

It was hard trying to add more soil to it and not cover the strawberry plants from last year. I will keep the strawberries in that one but in the rest of my green stalk I will just grow things that are annual that way I can refresh the soil easily.

(I have to admit gifting the surplus of plants is the best part) And a big pot for my windowsill with different mint (you got me with that strawberry mint now I also have pineapple mint and chocolate mint) and my husband just got me a 5 tiered planter (81cm by 50 cm) for lettuce, Chili peppers and herbs. And I have a cheap version of the greenstalk (to see if I like it) for strawberries but I started them a little late so the plants are tiny still 😂

    We've started strawberries in our greenstalk. As for your lasagna, I've seen people use frozen ravioli instead of lasagna noodles

    I love my greenstalks. But my experience has taught me to keep the drain hose leading off the concrete because when I fertilized the plants , the excess fertilizer that drained out etched our patio.

    I've learned that by using carrots instead of sugar when processing the tomato sauce, it is a better flavor. It also helps balance out the acidity levels naturally.

    Becky, I love seeing your Mom on your videos, because she just a lovely person. I wish we could afford the green stalks, because I would love to plant some herbs and vegetables in them.
    Thank you, Becky, for sharing your gardening and recipes.

    I just came in from our garden and 100 tomatoe plants fighting and water spraying off spider mites. Now plan to go and spray with Neem Oil and say a prayer this takes care of them and our Good Lord watches over our garden while we travel north. We leave tomorrow morning. Yes the view from your folks home is awesome. That is what I did for one of my grow towers is all strawberries. I have to replant some as only 50 % of my roots took. I didn't get them planted as soon as I received them so that may be on me. You now just taught this ole girl something about strawberries. I will now take runners and plant them into the wells that root did not take. I will do that as soon as we get back and then plant the other with herbs. Oh happy gardening even fighting afids and spider mites. I hope I drowned ours all out.

    Becky - maybe consider doing a thorny berry (blackberry or raspberry) along your deer fence. The thorns will keep most pests out of them.

    Becky, get yourself one of the newer crock pots that has a timer on it. The one I have has 3 heat levels and 4-10 hour choice for length of cooking time. You wouldn’t have to worry about your food being burned this way. Also, I bought 2 of the Greenstalks on your last sale. I’ve planted one in strawberries and the other with different varieties of peppers. Honestly, maybe I’m doing something wrong but I’m not that impressed with the Greenstalks. The tiers are super heavy and it’s a real pain in the rear to get them on those grey trays that sit under the tier. They definitely would not be useful for someone who is disabled without a lot of help in the beginning.
    I hope the plants I have in my Greenstalks do okay, I’m losing a lot of the planted strawberries and I’m not sure why!
    Oh and it’s always lovely to see your mom! I took a screenshot of that fire pit area she has in the yard! I’m contemplating something like that in my yard.

    Lobelia is an excellent polleniser, loves the light, doesn't survive the winter temperatures, so it's recommended to bring her inside, clip the foliage and wait for spring

    Since you went into detail about how you did not add lemon juice to your tomato sauce, according to the "USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning" on page 3-5 it says you need add acidification to tomato products whether you water bath can "or" pressure can. Under standard tomato sauce it is in bold to add acitification. Pressure canning does not changethe need to add acitification. Just thought you would want to know since people watch your canning videos.

      I may be wrong and don’t have the time at the moment to go back and watch the video (I’m back in from lunch) but I believe she said she added onions to the tomato mixture which are high in acidity if I’m not mistaken.

    • @sherylh4780
      @sherylh4780 Рік тому +3

      @@suzetteblair8419 If i am wrong I apologize. Using the direction in the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning for tomato juice or vegetable juice with onions you still have to add acitification. Stewed Tomatoes with onions require acitification. Again, if I am wrong I apologize. I will still be putting lemon juice in my canned tomato products. It is just to easy to put in a little sugar in if it is to tart. I know she said she didn't want to put sugar in it.

    When assembling your Greenstalks, make sure the holes in the blue water dish is lined up to the center of the pockets, so it hits the plant's roots.
