Oh the scene outside with all the ferns is so beautiful. The mushrooms laid out on the white background looked like a botanical print! You are so well informed regarding so many topics. I have always wanted to know how to choose mushrooms.
I discovered your channel this week and have been binging the quiet gentlenesss in the scenes of your rural life… missing my Scottish home now I’m in Australia and wishing I could live that slow meaning full of intention …where small things of daily discovery and adventure are enormous awakenings for the soul . The soft muted tones … the organic textures…the flavours robust in earth. Thank you for the meditative process of escaping and future planning . I Will surely look for you in Etsy ❤
You can make green tomato chutney, using some of those apples too. Fried green tomatoes are also delicious, slice, cover in a seasoned flour and fry. I make them every year with the ones that just don’t ripen. Love the videos and your new studio.
The wood burner such addition to your barn and really transforms it into a cosy space ,so enjoy your art and cooking and understanding nature in a truly sustainable way.may it continue best wishes.
Lovely video as always. Maybe look around for some old storage heaters being scrapped. They have the heaviest thermal blocks you can stack around the burner to capture and store heat. These can stay warm for hours after the fire had gone out and act as a thermal battery. 😃😃
love your content. the music, your connection with Nature, your artistic talent and your Natural beauty and charm. but thank god i don't have to eat your bean dish. you have magical charisma and portrait it well in your video, cheers .
The next time you have on ripe tomato 🍅 you could just cut the roots and trim off the leaves and hang them upside down leaving the tomato fruit on they chould ripen in the heat now you got the heat of the stove the food in the stem will feed the tomato to ripen more. Hi from Ireland
Do you prune your tomatoes? If I recall from my time on urban farms, you want to limit some of the plant growth so that the plant puts more energy into fewer arms/fruits. Perhaps if there are fewer fruits, it might help them ripen.
For you to better understand which types of mushrooms you can encounter in your area, you can look at the types of trees that you find in your surroundings, mushrooms are very connected with trees and different species grow around different trees!
Hello from usa/New England ......Your videos are a visual feast! I absolutely love everything about them. loved the nut milk process and wonder where you put the leftover pulp.... Was that an oven? Is that what you added to you cookies? I saw the cashews, but not sure what the other nut is. What will you do with the green tomatos? Sorry, for so many questions......So happy to have found your channel.
Thank you! 😊 That was a dehydrator - it's for drying fruit and things, very useful! Yes, I used that in the cookies, the other thing is Tiger Nuts - sorry I forgot to put a label on it! I am hoping to ripen the green tomatoes indoors, not sure if it will work though..
Because of you The boots you wear, the winter coat heavy Your snow covered tuque The sunlit day, the snowy path The morning air blue and bright You make a simple moment Important and exceptional Like an old song on the Sunday radio Like cinnamon spiced apples Scents the soul- You turn chaos into serenity I lay myself completely in you- For yesterday I died Wearing the brown suit and the brown shoes and the serious necktie. Protecting. Insuring. Trying to be seen and hopelessly trying not to stand out. I add, I count, I type. “The keyboard is mightier than the pen”, I am told. “Bring an umbrella. Be on time. This is your house, your street, your life. Be patient. Be content.” I died safely on a Monday Drinking the poisonous draft Of compliance And freedom from fear and anxiety And I died again the next day Patiently, dutifully Today I lay myself completely in you Your snow covered tuque The sunlit day, the snowy path The smell of cinnamon spiced apples Today, I see, I smell, I live, I am Because of you
Every UA-camr is getting a wood burner because it’s “cosy” - but the truth is they are terrible for your health; pumping out particulates into your room every time you open the door. Poor seals often mean that particulates are also being funnelled in even with the door closed. No matter how “up to code” the salesmen tells us they are, the codes are fairly poor when it comes to wood burners. According to one study it’s like having a diesel truck running in your room. Not to mention the smoky atmosphere it’s causing outside for neighbours and homeowners working in their gardens. They aren’t even as cheap as central heating when you factor in the price of wood. I find it somewhat ironic that people that eat healthy and exercise buy carcinogenic wood burners. They just seem like middle class status symbols. They have no value to the environment.
Hey, thanks for your comment! I definitely thought a lot about the issues you mention when I was trying to decide how to heat the studio. The barn isn’t suitable sadly for more modern heating systems, and I went with a wood burner because we have a supply of wood on the farm here, from fallen branches and old scrap timber. It’s not ideal, but it seemed like the best option for a space that only needs a few hours of heat in the winter.

You might also look into creating hotboxes to get your plants started.

Im new to your channel, and hadn’t seen your art before this episode. Those mushroom illustrations are GORGEOUS.
That basket of tomatoes along with the basket of apples looks to be the start of much awesome green tomato chutney.

Lovely video, beautiful water colored drawings you make 👏🏼

I absolutely love your swampy area. It is beautiful.
Nice😊
Enjoying your videos. Love to see all you do and getting help from others, too. Looks cozy! ❤
That looks so cosy!

Beautiful video 😊 just found your channel

Thanks! I am trying to learn more trees as well 😆
Are you by any chances making Mead ?
welcome to come forage with me in Alaska
Please can you give more information about your recipes? Cookies look delicious.
Yes I would wish for that to 😍 here food always looks delicious 😋

Here in the USA we can ripen tomatoes in a paper bag.
Do you live on your farm all by yourself? That's a lot of work for one person! Love your videos :)
I live with my aunt and uncle, but they are camera shy!
This is nice finding i mean your channel. Thank u 🍀
Because of you
The boots you wear, the winter coat heavy
Your snow covered tuque
The sunlit day, the snowy path
The morning air blue and bright
You make a simple moment
Important and exceptional
Like an old song on the Sunday radio
Like cinnamon spiced apples
Scents the soul-
You turn chaos into serenity
I lay myself completely in you-
For yesterday I died
Wearing the brown suit and the brown shoes and the serious necktie. Protecting. Insuring. Trying to be seen and hopelessly trying not to stand out. I add, I count, I type. “The keyboard is mightier than the pen”, I am told. “Bring an umbrella. Be on time. This is your house, your street, your life. Be patient. Be content.”
I died safely on a Monday
Drinking the poisonous draft
Of compliance
And freedom from fear and anxiety
And I died again the next day
Patiently, dutifully
Today I lay myself completely in you
Your snow covered tuque
The sunlit day, the snowy path
The smell of cinnamon spiced apples
Today, I see, I smell, I live, I am
Because of you
Tomato needs direct sunlight.
Weird puffball
I'll never know what finally happened because I'm bailing at 10 minutes
😘 X... 😘🌹

People have had open fires for centuries.
