Best UA-camr ever! No frills, no drama, just a reflection of everyday lifestyle of your choice. Thank you for sharing, I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. Best from Canada.
I love the way people describe using garlic by 'just put a spoonful in the pan'. I keep adding garlic to a dish until my ancestors come down and I feel them put their hand on my shoulder and say: 'That's enough child, you're done now'
Our big excitement this spring...getting ready for our 9 week trip from Tennessee to Alaska, via the Alaska Highway! It's our 50th wedding anniversary trip of a lifetime!
A & E you are two of the most genuinely compatible couple I have ever seen and I am in my late 70s. My ex and I did not sing from the same song book, much less the same page. I admire how you both treat each other as equals. I am planning my next life using your model. Be blessed and keep on being a fine example. ❤❤
So I just wanted to let you know my daughter got a kidney. With the grace of God, He has blessed us with all the doctors and nurses that have been helping her. We have been staying at the Fisher House at Walter Reed since February 3, 2022. Once she is on track and safe to go home I am gonna get my butt to work with my garden this year. I missed it last year due to rotator cuff surgery and man that recovery was pretty long. Watching you and your passion for gardening, with your husband getting things ready for the short summer keeps me going. Especially suck here just hoping to start my seeds, when I get to go home. Thank you so much for your videos.
I’m a middle aged English woman who gets confusingly excited when I see you have a new video. I love seeing what you are up to. Thank you for all your hard work and the wonderful love you have between you. Xx
I have really missed our daily time together. You will never know how much I look forward to our time together.. Being a shut in is really hard, but spending time with you is really SPECIAL. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH, AND YOUR FUR BABIES.
I love watching you two doing things around the house, especially food related videos where you're making food to store, using up food you've already stored and just planning out meals and the upcoming season. This video really helped me relax after a hard day.
Hello Arielle and Eric from Toronto Ontario Canada I really love your U Tube channel. Thank You for sharing your lifestyle in Alaska. Have a good night sweet dreams God Bless
Our Family Tree 🌳 is growing this year!!! I'm going to be a (young) Grandma!!!!!🥳🎊🥳🎊🥳🎊 ETA is between the middle of April to the first part of May!!!🥰🥰🥰 I'm so very excited!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗 I hope that counts for what we have growing!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 BEAUTIFUL Video as always!!! Much Love from FL 💖💞💖💞💖💞
I just realized while watching this video that pickled EGGS is how I found you two!!! Several years ago I was searching for a recipe and y’all had the first one that popped up 💙💙💙 I’ve been a fan ever since 🥰🥰🥰
Me too! Seemed like every time I searched for something I wanted to learn one of their vids popped up, so I decided to go to the beginning and watch them all! Almost there! Hands-down the best channel on YT or any form of media for that matter! Completely changing the way we do 'entertainment'!
You make simple things interesting. Love this channel. Really like the lack of an intro, just get right to business. Easy to watch and no intro with bad music to click forward to miss.
This year I am starting a flower farm!! and I am 17 years old and have been gardening for 6 years! I literally taught myself from youtube 😂, I am most excited about growing larkspur, ranuculus, and eucalyptus this year!
We recently moved to Montana, and I'm super excited to grow ranunculus. It was too hot where we were before. Good luck to you! You sound like an amazing person.
Rhubarb is really underrated and so flexible for use. It can be eaten raw, savoury and sweet dishes. In Yorkshire it is eaten raw like fruit, on salads, sweet in pies and crumbles or savoury in casseroles.
I'm always so excited about spring. I have sown seed every year for well over thirteen years. This summer I moved to a place where I have my own garden for the first time in my adult life. After only having containers on terraces and verandas I'm super stoked to have this opportunity. I'm going to change half of my lawn into producing food and finally, I can grow purely decorative plants too. So many firsts for me: My own compost heap, lawncare, trimming a hedge. I'm in Norway zone 4 so I'm excited to see the abundance you two grow for yourself in Alaska. I get so inspired by watching this!
Holy cow I’ve never been this early! Just wanted to say that my husband, my 2 year, and I all love the videos and learn a lot all the time from you. I’ve been waiting for a sign to start my seeds and I think this is it!
I loooove your channel and how authentic and real you are beau and bandit who by the way i adore are my favs to watch like when you take them ice fishing i love how you love them keep up the great channel we all live vicariously through you wishing we could quit are jobs and find the perfect partner to live your life......
Thank you Arielle and Eric , I love your program , I appreciate your honesty and transparency ,I don’t want or need anymore bad news ,I’m so very thankful you guys are in the moment . Cheers from Alberta Canada .
Really amazing how many things you two have going; bee hives, veggie and flower garden, wood chopping, clearing snow, making honey, canning, fishing, hunting, processing the meat. I'm sure there's more. You're both very talented and ambitious. Then there's your vacation cabin. Busy and productive lifestyle. Always enjoy your videos. Take care and stay safe.
I've been away for a little while mourning my sweet husband.... so good to catch up. Eric and Arielle are my children's ages, I learn so much from them, whether it's gardening, raising chickens, hunting, gathering, fishing, canning or cooking, they are a wealth of knowledge, always voices of reason and both so lovable. I can't wait to see their spring adventures and summer garden. Arielle, I must say, you excel in making bread, rolls, biscuits, etc. All your meals look delicious, you guys! 🤍💙🌿
I think it was real smart of you to put snow in your high tunnel! It's one way to get rid of the snow and makes you one up on the moisture. I really appreciate your vlogs, you two are delightful to watch and I end up learning from you guys! Thanks again for a great video!
I am getting tomato and pepper starts from a nursery in my neighborhood, but have decided to plant some flowers from seed this year. I chose some of my mother's favorites, zinnia, cosmos, Batchelor buttons and bee balm. Looking forward to seeing these bloom!
My bunny refused to eat the sunflower 🌻 seeds from his box of treats. I was able to germinate them and transplant to my garden. On January 18th they were 4 ft tall with multiple flowers. I started romaine lettuce for him as well several weeks ago. I kept one on my lanai and it is now ready to harvest. I guess I don't need to transplant everything. We now have 12 hours of light. We live on Oahu.🏝🌋🌊
What a great…..two videos within five days time!! So exciting. I love your videos & start to get bummed when there’s only one video in seven days. So sad. Thank you for the treat!
This video was AWESOME! I learned so much about starting seeds from watching YOU!!! I have never grown our plants from seeds but my nephew does and your video really helped me appreciate way better ALL the work he goes through to get food on his table! Looking forward to watching more of your videos as you hopefully show the next stages in their growth!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Spring is here as well. Upper 60s all this week! Snow gives you that nitrogen that your not getting in there from not being rained on. Once the soil thaws it will absorbe that nitrogen and help plants grow better! Might want to do it again if you have snow left once this batch melts into the soil!
With as much dicing and chopping as you two do, may I suggest the use of a bench knife? It is so handy and will save your knife edges from the constant scraping across your counter
I have been so inspired by your growing videos...I started with an herb garden many years ago, and in watching you two, I branched out in my tiny space (I rent an apartment in the Boston suburbs) and last year my brother built me 3 giant raised beds where I grew almost everything I needed to make tomato sauce and salsa. The one thing I hadn't tried to grow before is garlic, which I planted last fall and am hoping I'll see start to come up as it warms up over the next month or so. If that comes in, I'll have everything I need for two of my favorite foods, so fingers crossed!
Hi, I am from the UK so we don’t get a lot of snow the winter so far we haven’t had any. Today I was in my back yard doing a bit of a clean up ready to plant up my flower tubs and bordered. My husband is in charge of the fruit and vegetables in the 3 plots of land we rent which is a common thing in the uk - to rent an allotment the rent is only £5 per plot per year so nothing at all. It is where we keep our hens and my husbands greatest love- pigeons!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us.x
you should build a "winter door" in the middle of that door.. Just smaller and 1 foot off the bottom of the existing door for easy access when the snow is built up
When processing large amount of garlic, I found pouring hot water over them for just a minute, they peel much easier. It doesn't affect the texture, but I mostly dehydrate it for powdered garlic.
I have been watching your videos back to back and rewatching them. I am going to be trying to be more conscious and more frugal this year and this has to be one of the top channels here in my opinion. I don’t remember if you two already do this but I’ve found that if you mix both flowers and vegetables together they grow better and bees seem to pollinate better. Ive seen more bees last year than previous years. Waiting till it gets a bit warmer before I really start to get the seedlings outside. Growing everything that my garden can possibly hold. I have a feeling that I might have to use pots for some of them.
So glad you have put up this fabulous video. Arielle surely you are a fantastic gardener, explaining all your seedlings makes me feel even closer to you as I am an addict on gardening starting from seeds like you. Gives me so much joy to see you so well-versed. Love to hear you. Thank you. Most grateful🌷🍀 I’ve got sweet pees growing from seeds. Just pinched them, doing great!!!
OMG! Those rolls look awesome! I can't wait until they come out of the oven. I'll bet the kitchen smells wonderful from all the garlic too. I never saw that peeling process before. Love watchin' you guys livin' the dream.
Darling,so do enjoy this video,as a child we were Quaker/Old Baptist in today's terms,being the youngest sure recall the women gathering at my grandmothers every tues./fri.made our bread just like that,beautifully made,thank you for bringing sweet memories back,I still do at x's.I'm older so don't eat alot of bread,enjoy
I love these kids .I'm 70..live in the Colorado mountains..7200ft. Now for 27yrs.you can never learn enough. I've learned so much from you guys and yes.. no damn drama .just good clean living. Can't wait to start the garden. We have snow and cold here till the end of April. My grandsons lives 4 hours away and starts all my seeds I need but then I plant the in ground seeds .they re done my whole garden with above ground planters .and one side is flowers herbs the other is veggies. So Nanna don't have to crawl on the ground no more . Thanks for all you have taught us .not just with homesteading . I raise meat rabbits and we hunt .just have chickens and buns left. Got to hard to do my milk goats after my kids left .I raised 3 grand kids .there's only 2 that live within an hour .they live all over. They all put them selves thru college .
I'm excited about Spring this year. I'm planting my first garden this year. I have a nice variety of seeds and I'm doing some raised gardens. I enjoy watching you guys. Thank you for the seed planting. I learned alot! I actually started tomatoes and peppers last week and I'm proud to say I have sprouts! God Bless you all!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but an idea for extra garlic and now that you have honey from the bee's is to do is what is called "100 year garlic in honey." It is a fermenting process, but is great for immunity support. I very much enjoy watching your Alaskan Adventure.
just made up my very long list, going to sow seed starting tomorrow. was too busy admiring the blossoms on my white peach and wild peach trees, it's loaded and can already see myself eating those peaches. These 2 trees are in my glasshouse, but the ones outside are starting to pop too. pray temperatures keeps up. I hope your fruit trees will start to produce for you this year
It’s always so interesting to see seasonal differences! In Tennessee where I live, things are blooming, and I have kale, bok choi, cabbage, broccoli, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, and arugula currently in my garden growing. I just started summer crops indoors. I did have to put some low hoops and plastic over them when we got a 20°F night recently, but they should be good to go! My lettuce and bok choi are really close to harvest!
I'm so jealous! Haha We moved up north (about an hour from Canadian border) from the Gulf (about 3 hours from New Orleans). Here, we will be racing the cold. Before, we were racing the heat. Just got a small greenhouse, and I'm dying to get it put together. I'm seriously jonesing for homegrown goodies!
I was inspired by you to plant some garlic this fall. I uncovered it and some of it survived!!! I’ve never grown anything like that before. I am super excited!!!
Love watching you two. Have to raise volume up to hear you talking comments to each other.lol. Living Traditions Homestead has mics with wind covers that they wear so we hear everything. Love how you interact with each other.
Love your channel, the pickled eggs brought back memories of my childhood in Louisiana, momma would boil dozens of eggs for Easter, we would dye them all different colors, and have egg knocking contests on Easter Sunday, (it was a blast). All of the leftover eggs were peeled, then pickled, the dye would manage to soak through, so the pickled egg jars were multi-colored in the pantry. Keep up the great videos guys.
Marcia from MI here...you will love to harvest lemon balm & peppermint to make dried leaves for tea & tea to drink with a bit of honey & also tea for soap making. Just love it!!
Never been so pleased to see you both. Stuck in bed with covid, lonely and bored. And then you guys appear. Thank you! Best wishes and heartfelt appreciation from Hampshire, England x
Don’t you just love spring prep? I get so excited over the possibilities when sowing seeds! I’ve started my tomato plants, the same reason you start onions, it’s cost effective. You have inspired me to try pickled eggs! That brine looks amazing! Between the soup, the fresh bread and garlic the smell must be amazing! I also use frozen garlic because mine didn’t have a great shelf life. It’s so convenient and delish!so glad you guys like rhubarb. I love it! When I plant seeds that have that tough shell, i.e. okra, my grandfather taught me to soak them in buttermilk. I know weird, but it works! Thank you for taking a moment to show us softly falling snow, sleeping fur babies, kitty paw prints and chatty chickens. I wish that you guys had a TV program, all things Alaska, no drama, no artificial anything! You guys could write your own Alaska homesteading guide! This girl loves your channel! Many thanks! 🙌🏻👏🏻
I love your videos and follow your progress i live in western Australia and have worked in remote places for the adventure...im nearly 70 and at present went out to a remote community to work part time its my last adventure so feel very excited to follow your adventures and see the beautiful Alaskin scenery...thank you regards Rhonda Sutton
Thank you for your dinner roll recipe, I’m gonna give it a try! One thing that I always think to ask when you check on your bees is why do you have them so far away from your home and garden? 😀
You guys have inspired the condiment bug in my gardening. So I want more tomatillos for salsa Verde. And sweet and spicy Mustard. I'll probably make some barbecue sauce too. In addition to all the basics I usually can. Love your channel.
Wiwam Was . Akuratnie ten filmik otworzył mi sie na dzień dobry. Życzę Wam pieknego i miłego dnia z dalekiej Polski. Powodzenia w Waszych działaniach. Podziwiam Wasz upór i determinację. Nie jest to dyskraminacja mężczyzny co teraz napiszę ale jestem pełem podziwu dla Pani, która raczej nie ustepuje w działaniach a a Panu zazdroszczę znajomości wszelkich przepisów tak kulinarnych jak i w przetwórstwie.
Can you imagine if we all chose this life style? It would be so easy to do it in warmer climes yet so many people choose not to. That's sad. You guys inspire me and make me want to be closer to the earth. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life choices. You are a boon to all of us!
Exciting times when you can start seeds! You can give onions a trim on top if they get too tall. Also, rhubarb multiplies as it matures... you could get a super abundant amount in a few years, maybe enough to give to friends & neighbours
I live outside Salem Oregon! I can’t wait to grow hundreds of pounds of tomatoes!(I grow them as a summer hobby. Already have them about 4 inch tall plants in the greenhouse. I love watching your garden videos!
have you tried making aun dried tomatoes? its really simple it just takes time. cut tomatoes in half or four depends on the size, then sprinkle salt on them, and leave them on the sun or dehydrate them for 8 hours at 175 after they are dry, boil them in white vinegar for a minute and strain, put on a paper towel to dry again. after they are dry, put them in a mason jar and put some minced garlic in, some black pepper and top them with olive oil. let them rest for a week.
Really enjoyed this video - lots of variety and thorough explanations! I'm in Houston, TX, and can tell you that Texas bluebonnets are not so easy to grow. I've had no luck with growing the seeds over many years, so I usually get the small plants sold by the nurseries. They are wild flowers (weeds) and want to be treated like weeds. The less care, the better. We Texans owe much to Lady Bird Johnson who developed a wildflower program in TX to seed the highways throughout the state each year. Driving through rural areas from Dallas to San Antonio and Houston and all throughout the Texas Hill Country is a great way to spend a weekend. She did much to develop this program, and even today there is an experimental program on her ranch property where new and different varieties of wildflowers are cultivated. Thanks for taking so much time and care in making this video. I learned a lot today! I'm going to try Eric's pickled eggs!
Watching you plant your seeds today got me thinking that I should think about starting some. I think I will start with some tomorrow. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Take care and be well ❤️
I love all your adventures and roadtrip videos....but there's something about these "homestead project/chore" videos that really capture my heart. Those pickled eggs are what brought me to your channel to begin with, many pickled egg videos ago now (superfan ever since). I feel nostalgia anytime you make a batch. ❤ I have a half dozen layers on my little funny farm, nothing like a beautiful, delicious fresh egg. Nothing. Love you guys so much. You're good people. Hugs always ❤🇨🇦✌ from Ontario, Canada
I just made up a batch of pickled eggs this past weekend (two 18 packs). I use nearly the same recipe but i add a couple sprigs of fresh dill to each jar. Love seeing the food videos! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Hooray! My favourite videos on your channel are the gardening ones (I do enjoy the other subjects as well). There is just something so captivating about your gardening videos though. 💕 I never had any interest in pickled eggs before but you guys have got me very interested in them now. I’ve only ever seen them on offer at a gas station or convenience store in the southern USA and they never looked very appealing. Those rolls looked so fluffy and delicious! 🤤 Loved the falling snow. 💕💕💕 Very lovely to see the absolute miracle of nature falling from the sky during this pre-dystopian time.
I love sowing seeds!! I love buying seeds too😁.Pretty excited to grow some brown heirloom tomatoes this year. The plants are already big and I have to get them in the ground asap! I've failed at cucumber growing, but will try again this year (wish me luck).✌🌺
Spring is just around the corner in Alaska. What are you most excited about growing in your garden this year? 🌱☀
Tomato’s!
Would really love to get some strawberries going
@@myboyzr2 ditto
Avocado squash
Tomatoes 😍🍅
Best UA-camr ever! No frills, no drama, just a reflection of everyday lifestyle of your choice. Thank you for sharing, I thoroughly enjoy your vlogs. Best from Canada.
Exactly
No plugging cringy tshirts every video. Best channel, I wish more were like em
@@bunnygaffney2765 yes!
I SO agree.... no clickbait so you watch. Normal people that have interesting content!
I have no idea that I wrote this. I am still wondering what I meant. I questioned my words. Sorry it was just not me. From Texas USA
I subscribed for the Alaskan scenery, but I stay for the pickled eggs.
This would be a perfect quote for merch for them!
😄
Love it 😂
I subscribed for the pickled eggs, stayed for Beau
And those dinner rolls! I need them.

Good job on the moisture quilt in the bee hives. A typical hive full of bees will give off four gallons of moisture during the winter. 🙂

Arielle surely you are a fantastic gardener, explaining all your seedlings makes me feel even closer to you as I am an addict on gardening starting from seeds like you. Gives me so much joy to see you so well-versed. Love to hear you. Thank you. Most grateful🌷🍀
I’ve got sweet pees growing from seeds.
Just pinched them, doing great!!!
OMG! Those rolls look awesome! I can't wait until they come out of the oven. I'll bet the kitchen smells wonderful from all the garlic too. I never saw that peeling process before. Love watchin' you guys livin' the dream.

What am excited about in the garden this year? Watching you two do all the hard work and reaping the rewards!
I love these kids .I'm 70..live in the Colorado mountains..7200ft.
Now for 27yrs.you can never learn enough. I've learned so much from you guys and yes.. no damn drama .just good clean living. Can't wait to start the garden. We have snow and cold here till the end of April. My grandsons lives 4 hours away and starts all my seeds I need but then I plant the in ground seeds .they re done my whole garden with above ground planters .and one side is flowers herbs the other is veggies. So Nanna don't have to crawl on the ground no more .
Thanks for all you have taught us .not just with homesteading .
I raise meat rabbits and we hunt .just have chickens and buns left. Got to hard to do my milk goats after my kids left .I raised 3 grand kids .there's only 2 that live within an hour .they live all over.
They all put them selves thru college .
Baking, cooking, preserving and seeding what more can you ask for. Another awesome vlog. Can't wait to see what you do next. Be Blessed.😊🇺🇲
Everytime I feel lazy about my city lifestyle, I am gonna replay the scene where you are peeling garlics. So much work!! 🤣
My days off are spent watching you guys and getting inspired along with living traditions homestead my two fav channels.
Mine too
I agree! Love this channel. I also watch 1870 Homestead , Acre Homestead, Roots and Refuge also!
I watch all those too. Its great to have a family that loves what I 💘...
@@kristytanner2825 it is i love it.wholesome decent t.v for a change.
You two are doing great I only hope grow. Old here in Alaska and may you always be healthy, wealthy and wise thank you for your kindness. T
I'm excited about Spring this year. I'm planting my first garden this year. I have a nice variety of seeds and I'm doing some raised gardens. I enjoy watching you guys. Thank you for the seed planting. I learned alot! I actually started tomatoes and peppers last week and I'm proud to say I have sprouts! God Bless you all!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but an idea for extra garlic and now that you have honey from the bee's is to do is what is called "100 year garlic in honey." It is a fermenting process, but is great for immunity support. I very much enjoy watching your Alaskan Adventure.
just made up my very long list, going to sow seed starting tomorrow. was too busy admiring the blossoms on my white peach and wild peach trees, it's loaded and can already see myself eating those peaches. These 2 trees are in my glasshouse, but the ones outside are starting to pop too. pray temperatures keeps up. I hope your fruit trees will start to produce for you this year
We ❤️ all we learn from your channel. Thanks for passing on the knowledge
It’s always so interesting to see seasonal differences! In Tennessee where I live, things are blooming, and I have kale, bok choi, cabbage, broccoli, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, and arugula currently in my garden growing. I just started summer crops indoors. I did have to put some low hoops and plastic over them when we got a 20°F night recently, but they should be good to go! My lettuce and bok choi are really close to harvest!
Wow! Here in Minnesota we still have a lot of snow on the ground as well so this is very awesome to hear about your garden!!
I'm so jealous! Haha We moved up north (about an hour from Canadian border) from the Gulf (about 3 hours from New Orleans). Here, we will be racing the cold. Before, we were racing the heat. Just got a small greenhouse, and I'm dying to get it put together. I'm seriously jonesing for homegrown goodies!
Why not put the hives in the greenhouse over winter ?
The sound of the oil settling in the garlic was mesmerizing. I froze staring for that minute.
I was inspired by you to plant some garlic this fall. I uncovered it and some of it survived!!! I’ve never grown anything like that before. I am super excited!!!
OOPSY! love the garden select,yum rubard&strawberry pie this granny's fav,we grew everything we ate,
You’re great at baking and creative recipes. Would love to see your write a cook book one day. ❤️
Eric and Arielle it’s always enjoyable watching your vids you both are so inspirational 👍👍
Erin those rolls looked absolutely delicious. Had my mouth watering!!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love watching you two. Have to raise volume up to hear you talking comments to each other.lol. Living Traditions Homestead has mics with wind covers that they wear so we hear everything. Love how you interact with each other.
“Eric, can you twirl the sticks???”
What Can’t Eric do? That would be more of a question
You two are amazing together
Eric is a legend.I love watching them both cooking great couple 🇭🇲❤️
“They’re hiring at the garlic factory... you gonna put in an application? “ 😂😂😂🤣 love it.
Awesome video yet again 👏
Love your channel, the pickled eggs brought back memories of my childhood in Louisiana, momma would boil dozens of eggs for Easter, we would dye them all different colors, and have egg knocking contests on Easter Sunday, (it was a blast). All of the leftover eggs were peeled, then pickled, the dye would manage to soak through, so the pickled egg jars were multi-colored in the pantry. Keep up the great videos guys.
My son who live in Texas always begs me to make pickled eggs and beets
@@bunnygaffney2765 that’s awesome!!
Marcia from MI here...you will love to harvest lemon balm & peppermint to make dried leaves for tea & tea to drink with a bit of honey & also tea for soap making. Just love it!!
Never been so pleased to see you both. Stuck in bed with covid, lonely and bored. And then you guys appear. Thank you! Best wishes and heartfelt appreciation from Hampshire, England x
We hope you feel better soon! 🙂
Feel Better really soon!! (I've been there twice, NO FUN) love from Arizona, 🇺🇸
Get well soon! I had covid and pneumonia in January (2022). I had elbow surgery 4 days before the covid too. Not fun.
I love y'all's videos. I'm new but I'm binge watching. I wanted to do this when I was younger. Oh how I wish I had.
Yes the smell of flowers is perfuming the air at my house already
Yayyyy!!!!!! To be inside the greenhouse again must feel so good !
Love to watch all your videos! You both were made for this kind of life. Appreciate all your hard work every day! ❤️
Don’t you just love spring prep? I get so excited over the possibilities when sowing seeds! I’ve started my tomato plants, the same reason you start onions, it’s cost effective. You have inspired me to try pickled eggs! That brine looks amazing! Between the soup, the fresh bread and garlic the smell must be amazing! I also use frozen garlic because mine didn’t have a great shelf life. It’s so convenient and delish!so glad you guys like rhubarb. I love it! When I plant seeds that have that tough shell, i.e. okra, my grandfather taught me to soak them in buttermilk. I know weird, but it works! Thank you for taking a moment to show us softly falling snow, sleeping fur babies, kitty paw prints and chatty chickens. I wish that you guys had a TV program, all things Alaska, no drama, no artificial anything! You guys could write your own Alaska homesteading guide! This girl loves your channel! Many thanks! 🙌🏻👏🏻
LOVE IT! Any talk of gardening and you have me hooked. I can already see those monster potatoes being dug up in your Fall 2022 video.
I love your videos and follow your progress i live in western Australia and have worked in remote places for the adventure...im nearly 70 and at present went out to a remote community to work part time its my last adventure so feel very excited to follow your adventures and see the beautiful Alaskin scenery...thank you regards Rhonda Sutton
Thank you for your dinner roll recipe, I’m gonna give it a try!
One thing that I always think to ask when you check on your bees is why do you have them so far away from your home and garden? 😀
Another incredible episode of Simple Pickled Eggs Alaska
You guys have inspired the condiment bug in my gardening. So I want more tomatillos for salsa Verde. And sweet and spicy Mustard. I'll probably make some barbecue sauce too. In addition to all the basics I usually can. Love your channel.
You could dedicate a raised bed to a condiment garden. I know folks plant cocktail gardens and salsa gardens. LOL.
Retired butcher shop owner,kills me watching y’all process 😂 hoping to be there in June 🙏🏻♥️ Love your videos.Continued success
Thank you for the recipes. I live in a cold climate and am always amazed at how well your garden does.
Wiwam Was . Akuratnie ten filmik otworzył mi sie na dzień dobry. Życzę Wam pieknego i miłego dnia z dalekiej Polski. Powodzenia w Waszych działaniach. Podziwiam Wasz upór i determinację. Nie jest to dyskraminacja mężczyzny co teraz napiszę ale jestem pełem podziwu dla Pani, która raczej nie ustepuje w działaniach a a Panu zazdroszczę znajomości wszelkich przepisów tak kulinarnych jak i w przetwórstwie.
Thank you for going into greater detail on your seed starting. Much appreciated!! ❤❤❤
Can you imagine if we all chose this life style? It would be so easy to do it in warmer climes yet so many people choose not to. That's sad. You guys inspire me and make me want to be closer to the earth. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life choices. You are a boon to all of us!
Exciting times when you can start seeds! You can give onions a trim on top if they get too tall. Also, rhubarb multiplies as it matures... you could get a super abundant amount in a few years, maybe enough to give to friends & neighbours
U guys r.my favorite! So any shows trying to do what ur doing. But nobody does it better !
I live outside Salem Oregon! I can’t wait to grow hundreds of pounds of tomatoes!(I grow them as a summer hobby. Already have them about 4 inch tall plants in the greenhouse. I love watching your garden videos!
have you tried making aun dried tomatoes? its really simple it just takes time.
cut tomatoes in half or four depends on the size, then sprinkle salt on them, and leave them on the sun or dehydrate them for 8 hours at 175
after they are dry, boil them in white vinegar for a minute and strain, put on a paper towel to dry again.
after they are dry, put them in a mason jar and put some minced garlic in, some black pepper and top them with olive oil.
let them rest for a week.
Really enjoyed this video - lots of variety and thorough explanations! I'm in Houston, TX, and can tell you that Texas bluebonnets are not so easy to grow. I've had no luck with growing the seeds over many years, so I usually get the small plants sold by the nurseries. They are wild flowers (weeds) and want to be treated like weeds. The less care, the better. We Texans owe much to Lady Bird Johnson who developed a wildflower program in TX to seed the highways throughout the state each year. Driving through rural areas from Dallas to San Antonio and Houston and all throughout the Texas Hill Country is a great way to spend a weekend. She did much to develop this program, and even today there is an experimental program on her ranch property where new and different varieties of wildflowers are cultivated. Thanks for taking so much time and care in making this video. I learned a lot today! I'm going to try Eric's pickled eggs!
Watching you plant your seeds today got me thinking that I should think about starting some. I think I will start with some tomorrow. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Take care and be well ❤️
U guys have done an excellent job of utilizing the all the space in your small kitchen and cabin!
So glad I found this channel, love watching and all the wonderful recipes!! Thank you both ❤️
I love all your adventures and roadtrip videos....but there's something about these "homestead project/chore" videos that really capture my heart. Those pickled eggs are what brought me to your channel to begin with, many pickled egg videos ago now (superfan ever since). I feel nostalgia anytime you make a batch. ❤
I have a half dozen layers on my little funny farm, nothing like a beautiful, delicious fresh egg. Nothing.
Love you guys so much.
You're good people.
Hugs always ❤🇨🇦✌ from Ontario, Canada
I just made up a batch of pickled eggs this past weekend (two 18 packs). I use nearly the same recipe but i add a couple sprigs of fresh dill to each jar. Love seeing the food videos! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
Hooray! My favourite videos on your channel are the gardening ones (I do enjoy the other subjects as well). There is just something so captivating about your gardening videos though. 💕
I never had any interest in pickled eggs before but you guys have got me very interested in them now. I’ve only ever seen them on offer at a gas station or convenience store in the southern USA and they never looked very appealing.
Those rolls looked so fluffy and delicious! 🤤
Loved the falling snow. 💕💕💕 Very lovely to see the absolute miracle of nature falling from the sky during this pre-dystopian time.
Loved watching the dough rise, and the roles looked beautiful after! Yum!
Really enjoyed the mix of content in this video… kept me inthralled. Love your videos. Watching from hot Australia 🇦🇺
@@Godwinpounds4333 You're such a low life! Watch out for this one, ladies - reply to him and he'll start fishing for your phone number
I love sowing seeds!! I love buying seeds too😁.Pretty excited to grow some brown heirloom tomatoes this year. The plants are already big and I have to get them in the ground asap! I've failed at cucumber growing, but will try again this year (wish me luck).✌🌺
