    Kevin, I love your videos. Avery, Binky and Goldie are precious. The floral arrangement is lovely. Harvesting in the gardens is fun and interesting. The bread looked so delicious. I love your gardens. You gave me a great idea with the lettuce root. Beautiful piano music. I could visit with you every day.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Bonjour Kevin,
    The summer weather has not been kind to our gardens in this area (eastern townships of Quebec). MIldew everywhere, but was still able to harvest some very tasty tomatoes, green peppers, hot peppers, kale and swiss chard.It's been a challenge, but we do not despair, us gardeners:)

    Hi Kevin thank you for today's video. I have missed several of your videos lately. Our beautiful Himalayan cat, Itty Bitty crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He came to us when our neighbors passed 3 years ago. He was a joy. Seeing your happy fur family warmed my heart. Your garden is wonderful. I also plant zinnias from seed since the butterflies seem to love them. I will try planting the lettuce heart in a pot since it is very humid here in SW Florida now. Your energy and kind spirit makes my day.

    Kevin, recently I purchased a Le Creuset round bread pan from Williams Sonoma. It was splurge but totally worth it when I made your bread recipe. That was some of the best bread I've ever eaten! Mine was a round loaf and it had just the right amount of crunch on the outside. It was so good. Thanks again for your videos. I'm transported to someplace sweet and calm when I get to visit with you.

  • @MaryLuminary

    I love the purple zinnia bouquet! The BLT is probably my top favorite end of summer sandwich.. Kind of a tradition during tomato harvesting season. Interesting addition of the basil salt. I will need to try. A Tuscany tomato bacon and lettuce sandwich. Good tip on replanting the root of the lettuce. The home style white bread of course looks devine. But the roasted salsa looks perfectly delicious! I have been making the black bean burger recipe you featured on a previous episode, and instead of ketchup I sometimes use salsa on the burger. Just thought I'd mention it. Thank you for the mini concert. I appreciate hearing your exquisite playing of the grand piano. Fun to see the roughhousing and ball action on the stairs. Everyone got into the act this time around. Avery, Binky, and Goldie are so cute and wonderful. Avery's eyeballs peering over the food preparation on the kitchen counter is adorable. I like the mini Cosmo to test the salsa. It will be interesting to see how you use up the rest of the tomatoes. Would you ever make sun dried tomatoes and pack in olive oil? I'm not sure if that's something easy to make, but I like them, and often are expensive at the store. (Everything's expensive at the store.) Also I wonder if you have ever made green fried tomatoes? Something for the end of the growing season to use up the green tomatoes still growing on the vine before the cold sets in. They always make me think of going to the state fair. Fair food. Served with ranch dip. Anyway, sorry to ramble on here. Thank you for the wonderful video. Take care and have a great Sunday and week.♥️🥪💐🍅🍞🧄🫑🧅🍸🎹🐕🐈‍⬛🐈

    Two things I always thought were challenging to make... bread and salsa. You made it look so easy, and I want to try the salsa now that you've provided the tutorial.

  • @cynthiakammann7368
    @cynthiakammann7368 2 місяці тому

    Good timing for me, Kevin!
    Roasted, or blackened salsa is my favorite style, and my favorite brand seems to have disappeared from the grocery store shelves. I'm pretty picky about my salsa, so I may just be giving your fresh version a try.
    You are such a class act❣️ The Zany Zinnea arrangement is just right.
    I used to grow a Basil patch every year, but no longer. Instead I support my sort of local farmer. He delivers (from Pennsylvania) to my house every week and a small group of locals pick their orders up from my house. I love being involved with that. You inspired me to order a passel of basil, which I processed with evoo, batched, covered with a layer of evoo, and froze. I repeated the order for this week's delivery and did it again! I think I'm well stocked for the next 6 months or so. (It's my favorite secret soup ingredient. Just a little.)
    This is the time of year for BLT's because of garden fresh tomatoes and I always use butter lettuce, but so much of it that it falls out into the plate and becomes finger food!
    I'll be adding basil sauce to my next BLT❣️
    You made that bread so easily, you've obviously been making it for a long time.
    I'm glad your garden wasn't totally demolished by the rain storm. We've been getting thunder storms and downpours of rain here (Maryland) also. On one level I'm grateful for the rain because typically August is very dry. Of course too many people have been adversely affected. Maybe you saw the video of a whole house being washed into a waterway!
    Take care, dear heart.

    Thank you, Mr. Kevin! Everything looks top-shelf and delicious! I've saved this video to my Pinterest board under 'Bread' because your loaves, and every other kind of bread you bake, turn out fantastic. You have the best instructions and recipes. Another easy way to roast your vegs is to do it in a pan with a tiny bit of oil, that way you don't have to heat up the kitchen with the oven. Best wishes to you and Mr. Fox and to all your sweet fur-children! 😊💖🙏🏻🌹

  • @joeblow9805
    @joeblow9805 3 місяці тому +4

    Not meaning to be irreverent in any way, but when you asked what variety of zinnias we use, I can truly answer Dollar General 50 cent an envelope variety. They grow to be four feet tall and beautiful. Also I had inexpensive sunflowers, again from bargain store seed envelopes, that come up every year after I take deadheads with seeds and sprinkle them over good garden soil. These were great for a while, but later in the season, they come up gnarly like the zinnias will, so I used other greenery for stability in my arrangements. Sunflowers are inexpensive and you only need to plant from seed once because they seed generously every year! I feel like you understand my lifestyle choices and will continue to follow your wonderful videos. Thanks, Kevin.

It's so nice of you to use the measurements and grams they don't do that for us the same way that you do but that is your kind nature I really struggle with recipes because they just speak in grams normally so I have to do the break down on my own but I always think it's so nice of you You're one of the few that offers that.

    This is a great video Kevin. Thanks for including cameos of the fur babies. They are very happy indeed. I'd love to try your salsa recipe. It looks so good. You certainly got a lot of beautiful fresh tomatoes. I would love to try your bread recipe. Yesterday, someone brought me some zucchini and I made a loaf with it. I peeled an apple and grated it and put it in the recipe and it turned out very moist and tasty. You've given us lots of great ideas and I look forward to your next video.

Goldie with the little orange ball, Binky bouncing up the stairs, and Avery looking up at Dad as he cooks....wonderful furry family. I could smell the bread at my house. I enjoyed the sandwich right along with you. I learned a new way to freeze tomatoes....thanks for that!

    Our summer has been awful. Record heat and terrible bug pressure took out most of my tomatoes. I did get a pretty good harvest for canning but not what I expected. Hurricane Beryl damaged most of my pollinator garden with strong winds and 14” of rain. Cucumbers got damaged too but I did get several quarts of various pickles. Now I just have peppers and okra. It felt like 114 degrees here last week. It’s hard to keep up the energy to work. I’m 76 and the heat bothers me more each year. But I’m hardheaded so I will forge ahead. I’m sitting here ordering my tomato seeds 😅
    I love your videos. God bless you.

The growing season on my tomatoes and peppers has come to a near end. Although we do start harvesting tomatoes, etc. in May. We have a different growing zone than you do up north. I grew zinnias, and they were beautiful the variety was bloom and bloom again. I grew them from seed indoors; they are at the end of the growing season as well. Thank you for your videos.

In fact, many of us probably yearn to be able to walk about in a garden and see the wonders of growing things and flowers and so on!!! Thank you for bringing this to all of us!!! It's also so incredibly wonderful to see such happy pets running and jumping and rolling around and playing! What a lovely world you've created for yourself and us, Kevin!!! Geez, that's a beautiful tomato on your BLT. A lot of the tomatoes, in the stores, are yellow inside and yours was so beautifully red throughout. Good job on growing great tomatoes!!!

    Thank you for sharing your life with us! You are such a kind, gentile soul! I love zinnias! I love the cut and come again variety but in past years have had them grow shoulder height! I can’t wait to try your bread and salsa recipe! You inspired me. I am off to make a BLT! ❤

    I follow Derek Sarno who is converting a chicken farm to a mushroom farm. I read an article from the University of Pennsylvania on what to do with spent mushroom substrate. Supposedly it is good to put around the base of tomatoes and apples to control blight and scab.

    Love your recipes and garden! We got heavy rain in NC for a week from the hurricane and it killed my spinach, but the tomatoes and green peppers are doing well.

    I don't know how you always are thinking about the same as I am. I made a sourdough bread. yesterday. Not a lot of rise for sandwiches but makes great toast so this is welcome. Yes, my mom and grandma made a classic whiite bread a lot. Mine is now rising, looks wonderful. I used buttermilk, only change and honey. instead of sugar. I also picked ripening tom. We had a lot of rain but no humidity as you know about Spokane. I'm making pickled red onions and salsa with chicken tortilla soup today. Chow.
