I am a 5-8 teacher at a small, Christian school in rural Wisconsin. The K-1 teacher had her littles and her 7th grade son pick a ton of dandelions. Then she and her son made jelly in honor of grandma, who had passed that winter. When my student brought me some of this special dandelion jelly, I was very hesitant, expecting it to taste like grass. Instead, it tasted like sunshine! I love dandelion jelly!
My house wasnt ready when I got married. We lived about 2 months in an apartment. So I had to go to work right away.This time for you both is very precious! Dont be in a hurry to have house down barn done and move in before your wedding. Relax, you two are awesome! So happy for you guys! Being broke after your wedding is normal. But people will pin money on your gown.if your lucky my mother in law said. Yep!!!!! They do even in envelopes
My Mom grew up dirt poor during the 50's and 60's. She would eat dandelion salads a lot. They were free and very healthy for you. I have started to learn the art of herbs and dandelions are high on the list of health food. I will be trying to make some dandelion jelly. Thanks for the recipe.
I don't think it can get any more simple than some freshly baked bread and homemade jelly. We all have those days where something like that is all we need to satisfy our appetites and make us happy. 😊 I'm looking forward to catching this and the EA video later today! I'm officially done with jury duty, so I'll be able to talk with y'all during the premiere for the first time in two weeks! I'm SO EXCITED for that! 😃 I hope everybody's had a most wonderful week so far! Cheers! ♥️✨
I just got back last night from historic Williamsburg, where I bought an entire outfit for your wedding from Tarpley Thompson & company! Betsy Ross...eat your heart out! My purse is $829.00 lighter! Love to you both!! ❤💝
@@frontierpatriot- Tarpley, Thompson & Company were 95% cleaned out because of the George & Martha Washington Ball held in Williamsburg 2 weeks prior. There were literally only 2 gowns left...period!! Luckily one of them fit me, although it's a size too big. But I'm having it slightly taken in. I bought a double ruffle cap from Samson to go with the dress. You both look absolutely fabulous on the front cover!! So very obviously in love!
One thing I learned over the years is to not push myself so hard and that trying to make a situation fit into my vision. In other words, it would be ok if your house wasn't done before your wedding. You have a charming place to live in now. A few more weeks or so would be just fine. Then you could relax a little. ❤ I know you will have a beautiful wedding day!
I gave dandelion leaves and flowers to my Iguana. He loved it and I didn't have to go out and buy or capture bugs. Later I found out he was very healthy when I showed him around a bit. Dandelions are also a survival food and being well recognizable on its characteristics for surety on non-toxic for a quick supply.
Dandelions are the first food for bees in the spring. Ron's a fan! Montana doesn't have Dandelions yet. So glad you are recovering, Justine. I'm worried about you guys getting too stressed. Your house will be wonderful and your wedding will be beautiful.
In northern Maine (Acadian/Quebec descendants, mostly), we eat cooked dandelions in the spring, along with fiddleheads, which I prefer. I am anxious to see this video. :)
We grew up eating dandelions, a European herb plant brought to the U.S. by European immigrants. Every part of the plant is edible, but the real prize is the root which is amazingly medicinal. 🌻
Justine, the yellow dress goes well with the yellow dandelion video. Sounds like the jelly would taste good. You and Ron are going to have a beautiful home when finished. The country setting is beautiful also. Glad the wisdom tooth ordeal is over for you.
Last year, I gathered dandelion flowers and made them into a tincture. Then I froze it because I didn't have time to make the jelly, but a friend who lived in another town did. Plus, she was an experienced jelly maker. She made it with pectin because it was going to be sold at a Farmer's market. Wow!!! I thought it was really honey. We just moved to a new state, so right now there are at least six but probably 8 cups of dandelion flowers in the freezer. I will get to them later.
When my oldest was small he would call dandelions "lion flowers". Lion flower is a much better name. Offer someone lion flower jelly and they wouldn't think twice about trying it
Part of dandelion's perception problem comes from the fact that it grows in disturbed ground, often in suburban and urban areas, and is heavily associated with pollution. It's literally thought of as weeds from dirty areas. It's the stuff that grows in the cracks of sidewalks or in abandoned vacant lots in depressed cities. Of course, it can also grow in cleaner, rural wilderness areas and that's where you would try to find edible, forageable dandelions but those scenes of urban weeds are the reason for its bad wrap. It's like the plant version of a catfish that bottom feeds on a river, it depends on the condition of the river.
I cry post anesthesia. Every time. My grandson had all four wisdom teeth extracted at once with no anesthesia. Unfortunately he has Lupus and the surgeon felt it was a safer option. He did amazingly well! Happy to hear that’s behind you Justine. I can’t wait for the dandelions to bloom so I can make the jelly. Saving enough for the bees of course!
Sugar mixes with plaque (bacteria), which creates an acid that decays your enamel and bone around your teeth. I was a dental health educator for a health unit.
I had 4 surgeries in 2022 and each time the nurses were stunned about how easily I able to get up and walk right after. I just wanted to go home, I think that was my main motivation. 🤣I'm not a huge fan of honey but I would try it the dandelion with the lemon and honey.
Fresh goat milk makes cheese that is not “goaty” at all. It tastes much like commercial cream cheese from cows milk.As the cheese ages it gets “goaty” . I used to make goat cheese every week. After a week in the fridge it would begin to taste “goaty”
Grandma called it poor mans honey. She also fried up the flowers like Morel mushrooms and they taste pretty much the same! Then of course there is the greens to cook and eat also.
I fry up Queen Ann's Lace and Day Lily flowers, too. Withe the Queen Ann'sLace, I always make sure it has the little purple heart in the center, if no purple... it's probably wild carrots which is poisonous 😮. Enjoy!! 😊
Dandelion jelly is very good. So is mulberry jelly. Do not make mulberry into jam TO MANY SEEDS. Yes Spring has sprung. Wow now the count down begins. It is almost time for you to wear that wedding dress. Soon you will be a MRS. I am so excited for you & Ron. I hope you have lots of pictures & complete video taken. GOD BLESS from West Central Indiana Farmland
As a kid my job in spring was to pick all thereunder greens of the dandelion,great big huge bowls of it and in our Italian household we either sautéed it with garlic olive oil and salt and pepper,when wilted we'd put a splash of vinegar on it ,or eat it raw,very finely cut,with onion,tomato,and vinaigrette dressing
I love fresh baked bread and jelly. Your tooth story reminded me of my fairly recent dental visit, where they had to pull a front tooth, and it broke in half, and they had to use special clamps. You have a near total eclipse coming through on April 8th, in Ste. Genevieve. It be at maximum at around 2pm.
The roots when dried is used as diuretic as a tea, it helps liver detox. Leaves as cooked greens or salad . The yellow flower great as jelly. My grandmother would take the flowers dreads in batter an fried.
I love your videos on both channels! That story of the mouse I think was inspired by something similar to what happened to us. When my girls were little we lived in a country home that was around 100 years old and not in great shape. We had a terrible mice problem that we couldn’t solve. I had been saving all of my oldest daughter’s teeth and I noticed a couple missing. I knew none of us had touched them so I stayed up one night and watched. A mouse was literally stealing the teeth! I kid you not!
Another great show guys! Thanks for the information, my almost 6 year old daughter has lost 2 teeth and it's so funny knowing the "tooth fairy" stories! 😂 Oof, yeah, grandpa used to tell me when he lived in Missouri if you dug too deep, all you hit is rock. Makes sense you'd need heavy duty equipment. I'm 100% going to make dandelion jelly. That's cool! My kids might like it too. Easy to harvest, and we haven't sprayed our backyard for pesticides because we planned on having chickens. It's been years, but dandelions grow so great here. I know they are super useful for the root, tea, dye, and now jelly! Best of luck with the house!! I pray you get done on time, but if not, just know we make plans, and God laughs. Sometimes it's just out of our hands.
The dandelion jelly sounds so much more tasty than the dandelion greens my grandparents made. They were depression era, and they LOVED the dandelion greens. It is GROSS! My parents were WWII era, so we were forced to eat everything on our plate. I have dandelion PTSD. I can't even look at them. I would absolutely try the jelly, though!
When I was a child, our Mom would cook dandelion in her cast iron skillet it and her and my Dad (they were the only ones who would eat it) would eat it with some vinegar sprinkled on it.. Anything she did as far as cooking it I have no idea. They were from Burkesville, KY
I've been watching you both from the beginning, and you both are beautiful souls... love watching you both and have had many friends watch both of your channels!! Thank you both ! 💓 🐈⬛🐔
I pick the dandelions from my pesticide free yard every summer and eat them in salads. It's been a VERY long time since I've had dandelion jelly. Now you made me hungry for it.
Hi guys, nice to see you again; Quick comment: when our son woke up from getting one wisdom tooth out, he was singing:" I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob". He still had gauze in his mouth that made him look like a walrus. Hilarious! Glad to hear you're better Justine.
Your dandelion jelly looks delicious. We make Sea Grape Jelly here in Florida. Just got our Samson Historical catalogue in today’s mail. You two look awesome on the cover. we see Justine inside the catalogue as well. Got our outfits from them for your wedding. Cannot wait to attend. Good luck with the house build and wedding plans. See you in May.
Ron and Justine we love you so much! We're coming down from Wisconsin for pioneer days ❤❤ we're staying at a beautiful air b&b in Saint ❤can't wait to meet you two
My husband and I just watched this tonight. I am half Italian 🇮🇹 and my Dad and his family when he was small would go into the woodsy areas in town where there were several dandelions growing.They would forage their dandelions and would collect them and bring down the road miles away where they walked and would bring back home to rinse and cook them to eat.People did that decades ago. Dandelions are good for you too. Get some rest while you’re working hard.☺️
You guys! Are next to mark twain national forest! I bought 9 acres in rockbridge this year! Can’t wait to meet both of you! Your show is my wife’s and mine favorite UA-cam show! And need to get that well person contact information!!!
Lololol I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed. They put the gas mask on my face and told me to count to ten. I don't even remember counting to two. That's how fast it worked! A few years ago I also had an upper endoscopy. That time, they did the IV anesthesia like you had. I remember them telling me, "Okay, it was nice chatting with you. We'll see you after the procedure." Don't remember a thing after that. Woke up as they were wheeling me into recovery, asking me what kind of juice I wanted and I don't even remember all of the options they gave me. And then I proceeded to spill the juice all over my face because I was still groggy and completely missed my mouth.
I make dandelion jelly every year with my kids. 🥰 It's the best! A true sign that spring is here, Dandelion greens and ramps are great add ins to salad too! Ah wisdom teeth! 😆 One doesn't sound too bad to deal with, I got all 4 of mine done at once .. I asked them what the wheel chair was for and couldn't believe they said for me I told them I didn't need it but once I stood up I about fell on my face 🤣 I said NVM I think I'll just sit down, I was a bit more loopy.. I remember the dentist asking how I fealt and apparently "I feel goooood" was a silly answer. 😅 He just responded with "hell of a rush isn't it?" I was so confused. 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Little House of the Prairie is a true historical book series. It was written by Laura Ingles Wilder. There was a series that was loosely based on the books. The books are great and so is the series.
I've made Dandelion jelly before with the Dandelions from mine and my neighbors yard. You should try making wild violet jelly next. I don't have enough violets in my yard. But my friend makes it every year.
❤❤❤ I'm blessed to have it yearly! I make a salve from it, my bestie makes her jelly! 🥰 both of us don't use pesticides on our properties. The Dandelion is a fantastic flower! ( plant) 👍👍👍👍👍
My mom loves to make dandelion tea, but I have never heard of the flowers used for jelly. I'm totally going to forage for some and try it out this spring. 😃😋
Blossoms blooming- white and pink cherry blossoms visible!!!! Cherry blossom parade in D.C.!!! Washington Metro area: Northern VA. Maryland and D.C. (as well as my Shenandoah Valley-lush backyard to No. VA (NOVA)
I love dandilion jelly! And I use the leaves in salads and soups and the roots for a tea. The tea is like swamp.water but very good for you! And don't forget dandilion wine!
It's interesting that you say it tastes like honey cause as soon as I saw the consistency and the color, that's what I was reminded of! It looks really yummy! I'll send the video to my buddies to try and make it!
When my hubby had his bottom teeth pulled, and he was coming out of the anesthesia, he put his head on my chest and grab my hand and started humming the tango, when the nurse asked him what he was doing he said what does it look like, the tango, then he said to me she not very smart is she. The house update sounds wonderful, I'm so excited for you guys.
This one took a while to click! Terminology! We call a conserve with the "bits" in it, jam. If the bits are strained out before sugar added and boiled to reduce, then that's jelly, same as the wobbly confection at a child's party. We'd make a jelly conserve with liberally seeded or tough skinned fruit, e.g., guavas or blackberries with apple extender. Cheers! Col, NZ
It is spring but we’re in the middle of a big snow fall, everything is white here. It’s going to be awhile before I see any dandelions. Love your dress, it’s very pretty. Great video, as always.
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, a month out from our wedding day we were both so stressed we were ready to say, "screw it", drive to Branson and just elope over a weekend. Our parents talked us out of it, but barely.
When I make my own jam, - blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, … I only cook down the berries and add fresh squeezed lemon juice (just a little) and cook the end parts of the lemon ( they say that is where the concentration of pectin is?). Every time my jam comes out amazing! I do not add sugar. I am going to try making dandelion jam this spring! Glad you’re feeling better Justine! My daughter had 3 wisdom teeth taken out - not at the same time though. Didn’t want to go under, so she was awake. I couldn’t do that - oh no no no….. Take care you two!!!
Where I live, in the high desert in SE Arizona, wells are also extremely expensive and the water table keeps going down here, so that we also have to go down about 500 feet, and often more. No creek or streams in my area, but lots of people collect rain water and have enough to be comfortable with. Others haul water or have it delivered. That's what I do until I get my rain water collection system set up ... which also means finishing building the house to I have more roof area. Some people build rain roofs, which are kind of like pole barns. You get the advantage of the roof for water collection and the shelter underneath.
I will definitely try this. Last year, my grandkids and I made redbud jelly. Loved it. I will be making that again soon too! Went to Conner Prairie with my kids on a field trip, years ago and they were frying dandelion buds in bacon grease. Oh my, did that smell awesome. I think dandelions were much more appreciated in the olden days... Wishing you luck with your well!
My teeth were all filled with mercury and the dentist sent us home with a tiny vial to play with!!! Its toxic! So glad you had a good experience at the dentist.
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. I was 21. My Mom for some reason went and got a choco shake for me to drink when I was finished. I couldn't feel my face and the shake went all over my clothes lol. I was hating life for about 2 weeks after that. That is when they found out I was allergic to tylenol with codeine.
I feel your pain around getting a well drilled. The reality is that a well driller really has no idea how long it's going to take to get a well drilled. Every well they drill is different - one could take 1 day and give plenty of water at only 125' deep, while a well on the next building lot might take 3 days to get adequate water flow at 450' deep. I waited for a well driller to come out for 3 months. When he finally did make it out, he drilled for 2 days to make it to 500' deep and to have NO water. That ended on a Friday. On the following Monday, I had to pick another spot on the lot for him to try again. After 2 days of drilling, he hit 1.5 gallons per minute at 550' deep. The first well cost me $8,000 to drill and not find water. The 2nd attempt cost me an additional $8,000. Then, to get more water so that I could run a house and water farm animals and gardens, I paid another guy $5,000 to do hydraulic fracking on the well. Then, I paid him another $4,000 to have a well pump, pipe, wire and a pressure tank installed. The good news is that after paying $25,000 the well now makes 15 gallons per minute. Fingers crossed that your well drilling experience is more successful and WAY less expensive than mine was! Take care and God Bless.
Ooo your gonna like it, pretty tasty! I’m not a drinker but our neighbors always made Dandelion Wine as well. Always excited to see what you have for us next!
we have pioneer day here in mayo fl every second saturday in october....music food venders games in the town park surrounded by live oak trees...always injoy it
I've made dandelion bread, which is has a sweet taste to it. Have not made jelly. That's a project for this Spring. Have you made Sumac Jelly from the Staghorn Sumac? It is acidic but very good.
I am a 5-8 teacher at a small, Christian school in rural Wisconsin. The K-1 teacher had her littles and her 7th grade son pick a ton of dandelions.

My family has made dandelion jelly for generations. I even wrote a childrens book about it. Planning to write another one soon 😊

Sugar mixes with plaque (bacteria), which creates an acid that decays your enamel and bone around your teeth. I was a dental health educator for a health unit.
And what really is bacteria but microscopic worms? They weren't so far off "back in the day"! 😆
The bacteria lives in the mouth not inside the tooth

Love how your yellow dress matches the dandelions💛💛
I love dandelion anything. The petals you used in the jelly are quite medicinal as it supports the liver and elevates mood.

Dandelions are very nutritious and you can eat all of the plant. Dandelion leaf salad is delicious. Dandelion flower tea. Thank you for your Chanel.

Squirrels are much more likely to pee on random dandelioj blossoms than on other things that grow outside.😂
Hi guys,
nice to see you again;
Quick comment: when our son woke up from getting one wisdom tooth out, he was singing:" I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob". He still had gauze in his mouth that made him look like a walrus. Hilarious! Glad to hear you're better Justine.
The yellow dress is indeed very springy and sunshiney!
We eat dandelion jelly here in Alaska. The Native's make it. It's wonderful!

Bet that bread would be good with the dandelion jelly and goat cheesecake
I grew up on that. My grandma used to make it all summer.
Ron and Justine we love you so much! We're coming down from Wisconsin for pioneer days ❤❤ we're staying at a beautiful air b&b in Saint ❤can't wait to meet you two

Love fresh baked bread with honey butter-------YUM!!
Lololol I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed. They put the gas mask on my face and told me to count to ten. I don't even remember counting to two. That's how fast it worked! A few years ago I also had an upper endoscopy. That time, they did the IV anesthesia like you had. I remember them telling me, "Okay, it was nice chatting with you. We'll see you after the procedure." Don't remember a thing after that. Woke up as they were wheeling me into recovery, asking me what kind of juice I wanted and I don't even remember all of the options they gave me. And then I proceeded to spill the juice all over my face because I was still groggy and completely missed my mouth.
I make dandelion jelly every year with my kids. 🥰 It's the best! A true sign that spring is here, Dandelion greens and ramps are great add ins to salad too!
Ah wisdom teeth! 😆 One doesn't sound too bad to deal with, I got all 4 of mine done at once .. I asked them what the wheel chair was for and couldn't believe they said for me I told them I didn't need it but once I stood up I about fell on my face 🤣 I said NVM I think I'll just sit down, I was a bit more loopy.. I remember the dentist asking how I fealt and apparently "I feel goooood" was a silly answer. 😅 He just responded with "hell of a rush isn't it?" I was so confused. 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Little House of the Prairie is a true historical book series. It was written by Laura Ingles Wilder. There was a series that was loosely based on the books. The books are great and so is the series.
I love dandelions , I think they are pretty.
I've made Dandelion jelly before with the Dandelions from mine and my neighbors yard. You should try making wild violet jelly next. I don't have enough violets in my yard. But my friend makes it every year.
❤❤❤ I'm blessed to have it yearly! I make a salve from it, my bestie makes her jelly! 🥰 both of us don't use pesticides on our properties. The Dandelion is a fantastic flower! ( plant) 👍👍👍👍👍
My mom loves to make dandelion tea, but I have never heard of the flowers used for jelly. I'm totally going to forage for some and try it out this spring. 😃😋
Greetings from Montana 👋 the calendar may say spring…but we are getting snow this weekend! Have a blessed and beautiful week! 😊❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
White Sulphur Springs, W.V. has a dandelion festival every Spring. Lots of different things made with dandelions.
Hello from Western Wisconsin! We make dandelion jelly every year and agree it tastes like heaven 🙂 .
🐝🐝 Bees love dandelions!
Blossoms blooming- white and pink cherry blossoms visible!!!! Cherry blossom parade in D.C.!!! Washington Metro area: Northern VA. Maryland and D.C. (as well as my Shenandoah Valley-lush backyard to No. VA (NOVA)
Love that jelly. I've been eating it all my life since my aunts and grandmother would make it. I believe they also made tea as well.
I love dandilion jelly! And I use the leaves in salads and soups and the roots for a tea. The tea is like swamp.water but very good for you! And don't forget dandilion wine!
It's interesting that you say it tastes like honey cause as soon as I saw the consistency and the color, that's what I was reminded of! It looks really yummy! I'll send the video to my buddies to try and make it!
When my hubby had his bottom teeth pulled, and he was coming out of the anesthesia, he put his head on my chest and grab my hand and started humming the tango, when the nurse asked him what he was doing he said what does it look like, the tango, then he said to me she not very smart is she. The house update sounds wonderful, I'm so excited for you guys.
You can also make Red Bud jelly in the spring from the blossoms of the tree by the same name😊
Should have made dandelion tea to go with your dandelion jelly! Looks so good!
This one took a while to click! Terminology! We call a conserve with the "bits" in it, jam. If the bits are strained out before sugar added and boiled to reduce, then that's jelly, same as the wobbly confection at a child's party. We'd make a jelly conserve with liberally seeded or tough skinned fruit, e.g., guavas or blackberries with apple extender. Cheers! Col, NZ
It is spring but we’re in the middle of a big snow fall, everything is white here. It’s going to be awhile before I see any dandelions. Love your dress, it’s very pretty. Great video, as always.
I like making wild violet & dandelion tea every spring 😊. But I’m definitely trying this jelly receipt!
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, a month out from our wedding day we were both so stressed we were ready to say, "screw it", drive to Branson and just elope over a weekend.
Our parents talked us out of it, but barely.
When I make my own jam, - blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, … I only cook down the berries and add fresh squeezed lemon juice (just a little) and cook the end parts of the lemon ( they say that is where the concentration of pectin is?). Every time my jam comes out amazing! I do not add sugar. I am going to try making dandelion jam this spring!
Glad you’re feeling better Justine! My daughter had 3 wisdom teeth taken out - not at the same time though. Didn’t want to go under, so she was awake. I couldn’t do that - oh no no no…..
Take care you two!!!
Where I live, in the high desert in SE Arizona, wells are also extremely expensive and the water table keeps going down here, so that we also have to go down about 500 feet, and often more. No creek or streams in my area, but lots of people collect rain water and have enough to be comfortable with. Others haul water or have it delivered. That's what I do until I get my rain water collection system set up ... which also means finishing building the house to I have more roof area. Some people build rain roofs, which are kind of like pole barns. You get the advantage of the roof for water collection and the shelter underneath.
I will definitely try this. Last year, my grandkids and I made redbud jelly. Loved it. I will be making that again soon too!
Went to Conner Prairie with my kids on a field trip, years ago and they were frying dandelion buds in bacon grease. Oh my, did that smell awesome.
I think dandelions were much more appreciated in the olden days...
Wishing you luck with your well!
I'm in Indiana, too!
I'm going to have to make this. When one of us are sick we drink dandelion tea, its so healthy for you.
Oh that bread!
My teeth were all filled with mercury and the dentist sent us home with a tiny vial to play with!!! Its toxic! So glad you had a good experience at the dentist.
I’ve made dandelion jelly and it does taste like honey. I leave most of the dandelions for the bees.
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth out at the same time. I was 21. My Mom for some reason went and got a choco shake for me to drink when I was finished. I couldn't feel my face and the shake went all over my clothes lol. I was hating life for about 2 weeks after that. That is when they found out I was allergic to tylenol with codeine.
You are funny Ron. 😂 I heard of people taking videos of their friend or relative under the anesthesia and posting it on facebook. 😂
I have a friend that makes dandoline and violet jelly. We want to see your well when all is done. I grew up with a deep well and pump.
I feel your pain around getting a well drilled. The reality is that a well driller really has no idea how long it's going to take to get a well drilled. Every well they drill is different - one could take 1 day and give plenty of water at only 125' deep, while a well on the next building lot might take 3 days to get adequate water flow at 450' deep.
I waited for a well driller to come out for 3 months. When he finally did make it out, he drilled for 2 days to make it to 500' deep and to have NO water. That ended on a Friday. On the following Monday, I had to pick another spot on the lot for him to try again. After 2 days of drilling, he hit 1.5 gallons per minute at 550' deep. The first well cost me $8,000 to drill and not find water. The 2nd attempt cost me an additional $8,000. Then, to get more water so that I could run a house and water farm animals and gardens, I paid another guy $5,000 to do hydraulic fracking on the well. Then, I paid him another $4,000 to have a well pump, pipe, wire and a pressure tank installed.
The good news is that after paying $25,000 the well now makes 15 gallons per minute.
Fingers crossed that your well drilling experience is more successful and WAY less expensive than mine was!
Take care and God Bless.
Ooo your gonna like it, pretty tasty! I’m not a drinker but our neighbors always made Dandelion Wine as well. Always excited to see what you have for us next!
When y'all get your well dug, don't forget to get the water tested for heavy metals.
I to love spring as well. No bugs no snow and ice. Flowers and everything else is turning green. I bought my garden seeds.
I have had dandelion tea and dandelions in salad, but I’ve never had the jelly, hmm new goal, lol make dandelion jelly this spring, thanks 😊
I don't know if it is your video or my computer, but it never stops buffering!!!!
we have pioneer day here in mayo fl every second saturday in october....music food venders games in the town park surrounded by live oak trees...always injoy it
I agree, I love spring and fall, enjoy watch both of your video's
Omg i have been wanting to make dandelion jelly just out of curiosity and now i have to make it!
Looking forward to seeing Justine at EA and both of you at Frontier Patriot ❤❤❤
Thank you Linda ❤. See you soon.
I've made dandelion bread, which is has a sweet taste to it. Have not made jelly. That's a project for this Spring. Have you made Sumac Jelly from the Staghorn Sumac? It is acidic but very good.
Make a “muffuletta” out of that piece of bread. 😊
The Conners
I don't know why it was so funny when Justine was like, did I cut the bread like that?? 😂
