It's good watching you pickling as it's something that i watched grandmother do many years ago. You way of life and self sufficiency is the way to go in today's world. I couldn't see many of today's generation collecting jars and pickling. 47°c heat, i can't, i would like to, I'd just fall down.
My nan grew, so much food in her back garden, maybe it was her that inspired me...
The current state of our so called society scares me, I think growing as much food and in our case aiming for self sufficiency is the way to go. And everyone wherever able should grow as much as their able
Loved this video. Having a dehydrator is a game changer with all those lovely herbs that you are growing so successfully and beautifully❤
I totally agree! Just need to grow more now! Do you have one?
I don't have a dehydrator, but I grow and dry loads of herbs which last me through to spring and beyond. I just use mesh bags ( those vegetable bags in Lidl), or large paper bags and hang them up on a drying rail indoors until they are fully dry and crispy. Works well! Thyme, basil, sage, marjoram, oregano, mint and lemon balm. So long as they aren't packed too tightly in the bags and there is good air flow, it is very effective.
Sounds great! And so satisfying 💚 just ordered paper bags, so we can hang in the shade house and avoid them getting all dusty
Enjoyed this. Good to see what dishes you make from your garden
Thanks and more to come 💚
Love fridge pickles, I was able to make 8 jars this year❤
That is awesome! What did you pickle? And we needed 8 jars, too 🥒✌️😎
Pickling cucumbers 😁❤️
Mmm wish we had more!
Very exciting to be preserving your own food. Watching with interest as we are just picking vegetables from our garden that we started this year
It's the start and canning for next year! What are you preserving?
Carrots, peas, cauliflower, kale, potatoes, lettuce so far
Ohh lots, let us know how it goes! And any tips 🙏
Those pickles looked/sounded very crisp. Your gardens are alive with good stuff. Take care.❤
Thank you! You too! And they were super crunchy and super tasty 😍👌
I went to a restaurant that used fried sage leaves to garnish dishes, it was such a nice flavor addition
So good! We use it all the time and great now we've got enough dried to last the winter
Goes so well in scrambled eggs also
Good shout will try that! 👌🥚🥚🥚
I absolutely love watching your videos, they are always very useful & interesting, keep up the good work, blessings to you all ❤❤❤⚘️⚘️⚘️
Thank you! You too! 💚
Congratulations on your experimental successes 👍....I'm learning from your inspirational pickling too....but don't have your patience....Just carry on what you're enthusiastically doing so well ☺
You can do it! Was our first time and surprisingly easy.... Next to dive into the world of canning!
Loved this Vlog. I used the exact same recipe as you but did not put the sugar in (only because I don't like sweet picked anything lol). I managed to make about 6 jars and everyone who tasted them wanted more. Brilliant way of saving money on your herbs and spices too. Take care xxxx
Sounds great! Ours, we're super tasty but both jars gone lol!
I love both your enthusiasm preparing the burgers
Haha thanks, burgers are a, real treat off grid! 🍔💚
Enjoying the fruit of your labor 👍👍👍🥰😘😘💯
Yes, thank you and need to grow more to have more saved and preserved as, all the pickles, already eaten!
Cool
😊✌️
Welcome back. You have been much missed 😘
Aw thanks ❤️😍🙏
I am literally pickling as i watch 😂😂 my 1st time too. Ive also done 6 jars of chopped tomatoes as well. My 1st time ever canning
What did you pickle?
Saving a big pan of water (and gas) by just eating them asap
😉👍
Great video, thx! 🌱 💚
Gotta be pickled and they were divine! 😊✌️
I would recommend a woman in British Columbia in Canada. Her vlog is called My little mountain ranch. She is an epic canner.😊❤

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys.
Our pleasure! And same to you 💚✌️
Try fermenting so much easier & less energy consumption & no sugar needed..more yummy IMO & really really good for you 🙏
We will want to make mead to, 😉
What are you fermenting and what's your recipe?
Nice
Thanks and super tasty 😍
Just loved this vlog……I could happily eat one of your burgers, albeit they do not contain any meat!! Take care folks.
Glad you enjoyed it and burgers, we're divine the tomato and onion from the garden made it 🍅😊🍔😁
Excellent job! Well done more inspiration for me. I could almost taste those yummy pickles! I'd love to see you doing some cooking/ showing your recipes. Might be an idea for the market garden, a recipe book of yummy stuff you've grown ❤❤
Thanks and they were so so yummy 👌😍
A recipe book is, a great idea!!!
Love it!!!
Thanks was, super yummy too 💚
Informative video thank you for sharing 😊😊😊
My pleasure and thanks for watching ❤️
In summer my husband found an old glass door he made a frame with mozzie netting and made a really good dehydrator….we made a Vlog with it on our channel….takes 4 to 5 days for tomatoes 🌻🇵🇹🌞 canning scares me to a degree in case of botulism but something I must do 🤔 loved your Vlog I’ve never been very good with herbs must try again all a learning process
Thanks I didn't reply before as I didn't want to loose the comment. Watched your video great thanks! Will defo try and do something similar next year 👌
Thanks for the share ❤️🙏
We do a sweet pickle in Australia, we use the same dry ingredients but our juice is water, vinegar and a little sugar. They are delicious.
Sounds great! And using pickling gherkins still?
potatoes, fava beans and winter squashes, nutrient dense market garden staples
Absolutely we'll be growing them all ✌️
Good job. Thought u were doing mushroom on ur burger. Love ur tomato. Ours got eaten by possums. But the winter cherry tomatoes I semi dried n put in oil. Yum.
The marigolds look good. We use the stripped dried petals for tea n salads
I eat the mushroom b4 it made it to the burger 🍄🍔😂
Oh no on the possums we've still a vole issue had no zucchini this year 🙄 we've save a load of the petals too 🌼
Oooo a dehydrator - something I might need! New, shiny - yep I am a magpie!
It is such a great feeling growing and eating/preserving your own food. Though based on the pickle eating - you needed to grow alot more of them!! 😂
You will have to find a cave to turn into a store - so you can really get into the preserving. Cool and dark - ideal.
Hope the temps are cooling down, feel free to send warmer weather to the UK, we will trade you our rain.
Have a lovely weekend.
Definitely recommend the dehydrator! And yep we didn't grow, enough, of anything really, so soon we'll start extending the garden with a market garden and will grow in volume! 😍
A bit cooler but now need rain so yes, send some over! Hope alls good your way?
@@TheWildlandersOffGrid We are finally selling the house to go travelling and move to Bulgaria. Never been, but it l0oks very nice! House is sold, as long as all goes smoothly and we are now regulars at the local tip. Shame on us for hoarding so much "stuff" in the garage and shed!!!
I feel your pain/joy we had skips full!!! And how, exciting, we considered Bulgaria too, when you hoping to start looking?
@@TheWildlandersOffGrid We are thinking as we will probably be homeless for Winter that we will drive to spain/morocco until March and then head over. Hoping they don't join the schengen before then. But that could all change in the blink of an indicator, depending how we feel when we set off!! 🤣🤣
Sounds like a good plan and morroco in the winter we were planning that before the van died 😔 enjoy! ✌️💚
I must try growing pickles!! Not so much for pickling!! But I'm thinking of gherkins!! Don't mind a bit of gherkin on my home made hamburgers!! LOL!!
Mm gherkins! Defo though I can genuinely say these were yummier 💚🥒
If you are going down the route of canning, Its alot of work. Ive been at it all day
It does look somewhat daunting too! How did you get on?
Currently we have no real storage options do when we build our cabin a dark basement type room for storing canned things 💚
@@TheWildlandersOffGrid I put it off and put it off 🤣😂 Finally bit the bullet. For my cucumbers next year I'm gonna use white wine vinegar as using white vinegar it's made them REALLY vinigary 🥴
Ah yes, we used white wine vinegar also look up the recipe for fire cider that looks great too!
I think i grew the same tomatoes as you as they looked the same when i cut them up 😂 mine are now in jars.
We eat all ours! Need to grow 3x the amount so we can jar up sauces etc did you make sauces or?
@@TheWildlandersOffGrid Not this year, I just made chopped tomatoes so I can make into sauces as and when. The chopped tomatoes after I processed them should keep good for up to 2 year
We need to finish our infrastructure so we have the places to store sauces but weve certainly had enough Tom's for cooking!
Delicioso hambúrguer 😋😋
💐🌟👍👏🍀
🍅😉💚😍
Great video, but how come you're using a dehydrator when it's so hot I seen the locals in Portugal just laid stuff out to hang herbs up to dry then you're not using electric 🤔
Solar so free and easy, controllable stops the dust etc, but we are going to build a drying rack too
Wheres the link for the dryer
We bought it off amazon ages, ago as, was, a press for missy
เฮโล🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
💚🙏✌️🥒🥒🥒
those pickles looks lovely, the burgers sounded nice until you said beyound... too much chemicals in those for my taste, want pure food. Maltodextrin and the lecithin and methylcelulose and then all the secret "aromas" which often contain msg is stuff to stay far away from.
them dried herbs omg to die for instead of the boring "dust" sold in stores as herbs
Herbs are lovely and building up more, wanted to dry peppers to make our own paprika but crops not big enough so must plant more next year.
Yep processed crap but love one very occasionally as, a junk food hit vs our usually whole food plant diet
Hi
Hi ✌️👋
