I really get so happy like you do, when you find something amazing in your garden! ❤ One day I'll also plant all these things, currently my garden is far too small. Greetings from germany! 👋🏻
I hope you see this. In the USA, there is vinegar that is by the canning supplies that does not meet the 5% for canning. There is 4% or even 3% which if used can lead to botulism. Please tell your audience to make sure they are always checking the labels!!
Hope this helps. Be sure to do both steps .🙏☺ 💥4% vinegar conversion formula for canning 🔸1) Multiply the volume of 5% vinegar in the original recipe by 1.25 (because 5 divided by 4 equals 1.25). The result is the volume of 4% vinegar in your revised recipe. 🔸2) Subtract the volume of 5% vinegar in the original recipe from the volume of 4% vinegar in your revised recipe. Reduce the volume of water in the revised recipe by this amount.
I have never had any kind of smell left over from freeze drying my onions or broccoli or even garlic. Not even one time. My freeze dryer is running non stop as well. Goodness. I will have loads of food for my family for the winter
Big giant Thank You, for the dill info. I always have tons of dill and no cucumbers yet. So cut the big heads off, froze as you said, and today went out and looked and my dill is now covered again with big giant heads! Who knew, well you did. So kind of you to tell me about this small but big thing for us northern gardeners!!!!! Jean Colorado USA
@ jeanbrooks1617 - my grandma always dried her dill stems as well, because they have a lot of flavor too & they last that way for a long time- dry & in an air tight jar. Happy pickling!
Chelsea... I'm so impressed with your gardens this year! You are having an abundant year, that's for sure & I couldn't be happier for you! God bless🙏🙏🙏
Both myself and my husband grew up eating Mrs. Fannings Bread & Butter pickles (opposite coasts: California/Massachusetts). Years ago, it became almost impossible to find them, so we ended up switching to Mt. Olive and liked them, although not as much as the Mrs. Fannings pickles. This year is the first year I've made Bread & Butter pickles because we are so picky I thought the Ball book recipe wouldn't be good. Well, I have to say that they are DELICIOUS! Everyone that has tried them since I opened the first jar has loved them. I've now made 40 pints since the end of June! I hope you love them as much as we do.
Chelsea---I made a batch of your refrigerator dills.....but made a mistake. You said "4 tsps of salt for every cup of vinegar"...and I mistakenly used the measurement of vinegar + water-----so in effect, I added double the amount of salt. Needless to say, when I tested them the next day (after realizing my mistake hours later), they were VERY salty. I used my leftover brine and added more vinegar and more water to equal the right amount of vinegar plus salt ratio and when boiling, added it to the cucumbers. They tasted SO much better when I tested them the next day. Still a little salty but that should dissipate over time in the jar, I hope. Anyway, it is supremely easy to make them and thanks for the recipe!
Hi! Have you ever done “three sisters” planting of corn, pole beans and squash? Thanks for your great gardening and taking us along with you! God bless!
Can you use the heat sealer on regular plastic bag, like Ziplock? I know they have a special plastic to make bags. Also, for those who don't can, but have an abundance of canning jars, you can get a lid attachment (and oxygen absorbers if storing longer than one year, and store in cool, dark place) for both regular and widemouth size jars, that removes any air, and "seals" the jar, until you want to use it. It works for both dehydrated and freezedried foods, and it takes so much less "hands on" time than canning, is safer, and the food keeps more of it's nutritional value.
I like to powder my freeze dried zucchini and I use it in meatloaf instead of bread crumbs. I also use it as part of the flour in muffins or quick breads. I like your recipe for spaghetti sauce and use freeze dried squash to sweeten and thicken it.
Your garden is gorgeous. My garden here in Pennsylvania is doing great as well. My Bush type cucumbers are 7 ft. Tall. My tomato plants are 4 ft tall. Would love to be able to have a larger garden, & enjoy it as much as you do. Thanks for sharing your love of nature.
I am in zone 3b as well but in western Alberta, am really jealous of your garden, we had very late spring and then some pretty crazy storms with hail, i may get some veggies. but i wanted to tell you that i grow corn in rows and have had great success last year, i grow a short maturity sweet corn. happy harvesting!
I have been using pH test strips for years, often needing to add NO lemon juice or citric acid to my tomatoes when canning. Great for checking the acidity of vinegar/water based pickles too.
I watch a video on utube that said to plant onions with peppers and I tried it this year and I had beautiful onions this year the biggest ones I've ever grown. Just harvested them today.
It's the machine oil that gets stinky. We keep a second filter pitcher for stinky oil. We try to use the unstinky oil for fruits, etc, and the stinky oil for garlic, etc.
I have a volunteer pumpkin growing near the compost bin (where we throw our jack-o-lanterns. I cannot believe the size of the leaves. They are the size of dinner plates! Such fun.
WELL YAY! I have been waiting for the B&B pickle recipe like a kid! One thi g fun to do with them when they're done is freezedryor dehydrate and powder them, then add the powder to cream cheese for a spread. Its great with cured or salty, smokey fish products.
Love your excitement in the garden u are going to have a such a mazing year with cauliflower and broccoli and carrots well done Chelsea for all the hard wk u do
I did 5 trays of onions and green peppers and then the very next batch (after letting it defrost) I did a batch of mint. I never smelled the onions after the batch was done. And the mint came out perfect.
Oh I miss having a large garden. The excitement and sense of accomplishment in putting up food for us and the feeling of control of what ingredients I used far outweighed the planning and hard work. I’m in my 70’s and have RA but I do still have an herb garden, and a few vegetable plants like potatoes, onions, carrots, summer squash, tomatoes etc., in high containers, along with my couple of citrus and fruit trees. I’ll never get rid of my avocado trees (I’m in SoCal). I’ve adjusted to having 3 upright freezers and 2 deep-chest freezers and I only really can meat now. My laying chickens have dwindled to just 6, no more meat birds. Chelsea, journal everything, tips and tricks, when you get the chance and insert Polaroids of the gardens. Your children and grandchildren will love you for it. From one gardener to another, I can hear the love and excitement in your voice and I know exactly why. You are such a joy to watch.
Bread n butter pickles are my favorite too. Sometimes I like a dill pickle spear. My son in law LOVES whole crunchy dill pickles! My husband HATES pickles, of any kind!
I find that freeze dryer does not smell it is the ice that melts that smell, so I usually try and pull the ice out as soon as I can take the tray rack out, then wash the machine out with Vodka. No smell at all.
I love to watch you in the garden, I love gardening but I have the opposite problem to you. I live in Florida and it’s so hard to stop things burning and the grasshoppers eat everything. My peppers went wild this year I’ve had so many and the are still coming now, and I’m ready to plant my winter garden. I have one question when you say sandwich pickles do they taste like dill pickles? I really can’t stand the taste of dill pickles, to me they ruin the taste of burgers. But I love ordinary pickles like we Englishdo with shallots. We just put them in the jar with vinegar and sometimes pickling spice no canning required. By the way I now live in Florida.
I live vicariously through you as I don’t have a garden. Just a 1/2 wine barrel with herbs. That’s ok as I live in an area of northern CA where I can get fresh local produce every day. Do you have help with your harvesting? You have such a large garden to tend to 🍅
So happy you have such a beautiful garden this year. We had a terrible garden this year. ( that’s why we preserve) . Already planning next year’s spring garden. Fall is already laid out. Just waiting to plant.
If you want to make bread & butter pickles but pickling cucumbers are hard to find, use Zucchini. They taste just like pickles. You can find recipes online. Cutting the into rounds with a ridge cutter and not using too big of Zucchini, I find the best and look & taste just like pickles.
I've never had luck with corn either until I tried Orchard Baby....it matures in about 65 days. I would have had a great harvest this year if it weren't for the earwigs😢. Each stalk had at least 2 ears a piece. Maybe give it a try
I have just begun the process of juicing my seaberries and one thing for sure, its an acquired taste. Thankfully, after many attempts of tweaking the recipe, we now find it absolutely delicious. Whew, cause thats a lot of picking. I am anxious to see what you do with yours. Have fun.
@@LittleMountainRanch But of course. I put the well washed berries through a masticating juicer. Our recipe: 1/3 part simple syrup (one part sugar, two parts water) Its the two parts water that makes the difference for us. 1/3 part pure seaberry juice 1/3 part cold water Et voila! Chelsea, once your bushes are well established you'll be swimming in berries...we began with four bushes and are amazed at the amount of berries available for harvesting.
Looking at your successes and failures (maybe not failures but not as successful), i had an idea for you. Have you considered another smaller tunnel for growing melons and corn?
I had an issue with all my sunflowers. they are Dwarfs abut 3-4 feet tall and they all dropped over like yours did. Ill ahve to sent hubs out for some thick dowel rods to stake them up.
Question: freeze dryed zucchini packages - is it accurate, that they have a seal like a "zip lock" but did you also seal by the sealing machine or was that sucking out air? Thank you!!! This was so full of spectacular garden images im rewatching it immediately.
The sealer just seals - it doesn't suck the air out. As long as the food is dry and she adds an oxygen absorber, the food will keep long term even though there is air in the package. The ziplock is for later - when you take the food out of storage you can use a little at a time and seal it back up. 😀 Wouldn't you just love a freeze dryer? I'm waiting for the USD 500 version, ha-ha.
its amazing that you can leave all your brassicas open and not have loads of white moths.......I have given up growiing cauliflower because of all the worms......what is your secret? I live in Okotoks....can't believe your beautiful garden/ Jill
I don't think they have any white butterflies in their area due to the temp, I'm sure she mentioned it in an earlier video. So lucky, I have to sacrifice a couple of my broc/cab/cauliflower to keep them off the rest.
I know she usually grows under a moth cover that looks like a mosquito net that’s held up by half-circle piping-you can probably find it in some of her videos from last summer because I seem to remember the moths being bad then 😊
Chelsea said she hasn’t had many cabbage butterflies this year. The first one just showed up the other day. But, you can spray your plants with Bt to kill the caterpillars.
I had 1 small picking g and 1 larger picking of .y green beans and then the Asian bottles have found them and my beets. The beats are still small and they are eating g all the leaves. Your garden looks wo derful.
you really should look up "companion planting". Makes a great difference in a veggie garden to have the right plants partnered up. Onions is a not good neighbor next to peas. Peas like beans, carrots, corn, cucumbers, radish, turnip, mint, chives. Onions like, beets, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, parsnips, tomatoes, marjoram, savory, rosemary
Same thing! It’s called German to differentiate itself from Roman or English chamomile, which is a different species and not safe for pregnancy (which is why it’s important to qualify between them).

You are such an amazing person...can hear your love for your garden and life in your voice...just beams on your face❤❤❤

Chelsea, you must be one of Mother Nature’s favourites!😍🇨🇦
I can imagine how beautiful your place is with the fresh fallen snow . I love the silence when snow is falling .
Loved watching and learning new things about gardening.
Thanks Chels.
Don't forget to water your greenstock 😂
Wow, Chelsea it looks like you're going to have a phenomenal harvest season. Bravo!
Both myself and my husband grew up eating Mrs. Fannings Bread & Butter pickles (opposite coasts: California/Massachusetts).

I have but I find it kind of messy and hard to get in to harvest.

I done a whole freeze dryer of garlic, onions , beef… a little broccoli a never tasted flavor contamination…. I do a lot of fruits too
I watch a video on utube that said to plant onions with peppers and I tried it this year and I had beautiful onions this year the biggest ones I've ever grown. Just harvested them today.
The crisp sound of the vegetables wonderful .
Hey Chelsea, Just a note to say “Hi”! Hope you and your family are doing well. Hugs, Doc❤
Hi, sweet friend. I appreciate you so much. ♥️
It's the machine oil that gets stinky. We keep a second filter pitcher for stinky oil. We try to use the unstinky oil for fruits, etc, and the stinky oil for garlic, etc.
If you feed hummingbirds don’t use organic sugar. It’s hard on their livers. Just use pure cane sugar (white).
4 parts water
1 part pure cane sugar.
I have a volunteer pumpkin growing near the compost bin (where we throw our jack-o-lanterns. I cannot believe the size of the leaves. They are the size of dinner plates! Such fun.
I am so jealous of your garden i wish i had your touch
Please tell the story about the wooden wagon, it’s beautiful.
Oooo those PH strips are really neat!
Chelsea, I'm going to send you my Harper Pickle recipe, it's like a piccalilli, but perfect to use up big courgette/marrow, onions and cauliflower.
0:33 my absolute favorite smell..cucumbers and onions waiting to become yummy pickles
WELL YAY! I have been waiting for the B&B pickle recipe like a kid! One thi g fun to do with them when they're done is freezedryor dehydrate and powder them, then add the powder to cream cheese for a spread. Its great with cured or salty, smokey fish products.
It looks like the tomato plants have reached the bunting flags. 😀
Such a beautiful garden! Love watching the preserving process.
I get so excited going through your garden with you! Thanks for sharing with us!
Love your excitement in the garden u are going to have a such a mazing year with cauliflower and broccoli and carrots well done Chelsea for all the hard wk u do
Wonderful video thank you for sharing ❤
I love dill too!
I am really loving this channel. You make picking, canning and everything else so exciting to watch.
I use to make a sandwich out bread and butter pickles. Haven't done that in years
Color me jealous. My brocolli bolted!! What type of cauliflower and brocolli did you grow?
Love your way of teaching
I did 5 trays of onions and green peppers and then the very next batch (after letting it defrost) I did a batch of mint. I never smelled the onions after the batch was done. And the mint came out perfect.

That happened to me, the sunflower was so gorgeous, so big, we came home and it was tumbled over! I was heart broken 💔
I love Ball's Bread and Butter pickle recipe. Can't wait to make some this year.
Our garden is late and we are in North Idaho. Your garden is doing wonderful.
I love to watch you in the garden, I love gardening but I have the opposite problem to you. I live in Florida and it’s so hard to stop things burning and the grasshoppers eat everything.

I did some bread and butter pickles a couple days ago. I'm going to make sweet pickle relish Friday.
Did you make sure and water your plant that you wanted to water in the high tunnel?
I didn’t! Gosh darn it!
@@LittleMountainRanch oh no well maybe do it first thing in the morning they should survive:-)
All the spices your using is what I've always used love, love it.!!
Looking at your successes and failures (maybe not failures but not as successful), i had an idea for you.
Have you considered another smaller tunnel for growing melons and corn?
The garden looks gorgeous 😍🥰😍.
When I see ants on my plants, there's usually aphids around...... 🐜🐜🐜
Not in the case, weirdly. They just love the artichokes.
Excellent canning cookbook. Love your videos.
I also got litmus strips this yr to check my ferments...birds of a feather, lol
Funny enough the cheap "tomato cage" is perfect for fat heavy pepper plants. Useless for tomatoes but great for peppers
Love all your videos but this one is amazing! How much land do you have, if I might ask? 🥰
Do you always use the same day you pick them, or can you save them a few days?
I had an issue with all my sunflowers. they are Dwarfs abut 3-4 feet tall and they all dropped over like yours did. Ill ahve to sent hubs out for some thick dowel rods to stake them up.

I remember her saying she puts a netting of some type over the brassicas to keep the moths away.
Chelsea said she hasn’t had many cabbage butterflies this year. The first one just showed up the other day. But, you can spray your plants with Bt to kill the caterpillars.
When you walked down the drive, what tree was on our L with all the red?
Sumac
I had 1 small picking g and 1 larger picking of .y green beans and then the Asian bottles have found them and my beets. The beats are still small and they are eating g all the leaves. Your garden looks wo derful.
How is the little air conditioner? Where do you store your giant pots? Who carries all those cans down stairs?
Do calendula come back every year? Or does it have to be reseeded?
What is Sea Berry? I googled it without success. 😢
Check sea buckthorn
What size freeze dryer do you have?
Do you need to soak your pickle slices in salt water over night before pickling?
There is music in your voice when you talk about your garden.
my recipe does'nt call for onions, which is a great idea.
you really should look up "companion planting". Makes a great difference in a veggie garden to have the right plants partnered up. Onions is a not good neighbor next to peas. Peas like beans, carrots, corn, cucumbers, radish, turnip, mint, chives. Onions like, beets, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, parsnips, tomatoes, marjoram, savory, rosemary
I made this recipe and love them! They remind me of Bick's Yum Yum pickles
What is the difference between German Chamomile and just Chamomile? Thank you!!
Same thing! It’s called German to differentiate itself from Roman or English chamomile, which is a different species and not safe for pregnancy (which is why it’s important to qualify between them).
Are those white pumpkins and a huge cauliflower you have on the kitchen floor? I thought it was too early for pumpkins?
Those are white round zucchini, I think.
Is it ok to eat onions just picked or fo they need to sit out/cure to eat? Its obvious I've only had store bought onions lol
Do eat the garlic you pickle and ferment??
❤❤❤
