Even if you have been okay with the potatoes with skins so far, you need to throw those out. You cannot tell if even 1 jar has some bacteria that can cause you serious harm!

@@spiral5650 just start small if you're worried! do something simple like a tomato bed and some herbs to start! Gain knowledge on that and if you like it, plant more the next year!
Quick tip! Storing onions near potatoes can make the potatoes go bad faster due to the acids that are released by onions! Try storing them apart for longer lasting potatoes :)
Becky you are a delight to watch and your videos are inspiring in many ways. Tenacity, hard work, dedication, gardening, love for nature, being green, diy, from scratch, homesteading and soo much more. Discovered your channel a couple of months ago and always look forward to your videos.
Just a PSA so everyones safe, DO NOT leave rings on jars it can create a false seal if the seal pops later on, also stacking jars does the same thing. I know it's a pain to get wire racks to go above jars to be able to store more jars, but DO NOT stack them. You can always use other things to store under and then place your own canned items on top if you want to save space. Great job on tour pantry.
Yes! Thank you for mentioning that skills are important because beginners can be learning skills even before they have a large garden, big storage space. A small working pantry, cooking from scratch, and always learning new skills is the beat way to start! You are doing great and inspiring so many people!
I'm a senior and you inspire me to keep doing things, ordered all my gamma lids this am after watching one of your videos. Love your energy and honesty of how you do things. If I miss live, will catch replay. lots of chores today. Plus been cleaning up our Garden n gathering leaves, sticks for burning in fire pit. My pecan trees are being very generous this year.
Micheals has a craft "suitcase" meant for photo storage. In side are individual plastic containers that hold phots that are about the size of seed packets.
I got mine at Hobby Lobby. It’s great to know I don’t have to worry about the seed packets falling out and becoming disorganized like I did when I used a show box.
I remember my Grandma doing this when I was young! Wish I would’ve asked all the questions then…. but your videos are so helpful now 🙏🏽 Totally appreciate you!
Idea for seed storage" I used a few 3 ring binders with trading card pockets and I organize the seeds with all the same kind of items together that way I can look at a glance with I have for cukes, tomatoes, herbs etc. I love it! That was my winter project last year!
If you want to can meat balls since its not recommended to use dairy or bread. You can use ground mushrooms as a binder. It enhances the flavor and can be safely canned. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
If someone doesn't have outdoor space for growing, mycelium packs are amazing! Our bucket gave us a mushroom flush probably a dozen times before it stopped producing, not just once. Sometimes we'd leave for a couple days and come home and there'd just be...another set of mushrooms...
Becky when I saw all the garlic it reminded me of last year. I minced a ton of garlic in my food processor and dehydrated it outside (no stinky house.) I ended up with two half gallon jars of dehydrated minced garlic which is my favorite of all time. When I need minced garlic I put a tablespoon or so in a little prep bowl and add hot water. In just a few minutes I have fresh tasting rehydrated minced garlic to cook with. It’s fantastic! I made so much last year that I haven’t minced garlic since. I probably have about a third of one jar left. When it’s empty I will do it again. I hope it lasts until next summer’s harvest of garlic.
I can’t wait for this! I have learned so much from you in just the last few months since I found your channel. I love your personality and that you make each one of us feel like we have known you and been friends with you for ever, you have a real talent for connecting with people. Wishing you all the best always!
I’m looking at all of this and thinking my family of 4 wouldn’t go through all of this food! I’d love to see an update before the next garden season 2022 to see what you were able to get through and have left over compared to this video. I’d also love to see you point out utilizing your goods in your future food prep videos. Amazing all you have done. Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations Becky on your canning, freeze drying,hydrated plus food storage venture. All your hard work will pay off. Next year will be easier on your pocket book because you have all your storage equipment. I know you have spent a ton over last few years. Gardening and food preservation is such hard work. Im so proud to see a young lady carrying on the skills you have.
Food safety tip: don't leave rings on the jars, and don't stack them. The rings can mask a jar that hasn't actually properly sealed, and weight on the lids can break the seals (and cause the lid to stick to the jar and make you think it hasn't been compromised). Please be safe!
For over 50 years, I have left the rings on, and have never had even one issue. Taking the rings off means that if your lids are bumped, the lid can release or come off. I always have and always will leave rings on for safety. No one ever took lids off back in the day.
I was terrified of pressure canning too and I looooove it. It’s so much easier than I thought it’d be. I love canning my own homegrown convenience foods.
the rhubarb bbq sauce--we figured out what our grandpa's secret recipe was, he grew his own ingredients and that BBQ sauce never upset my stomach. really enjoyed all the details of your pantry. thank you for sharing all your goodies!
Wow, Becky you are a rock star. That pantry in amazing. Just a note, you can get a false seal by stacking canned jars on top of each other. I would hate for you to lose all that hard work by stacking jars. Love ya. BTW. Your nails are so pretty.
This may have been mentioned before but 4x6 photo boxes are amazing for seed organization. I switched to this last year and it allows me to stay organized and bring my seeds out to the garden even if it is rainy and the seeds stay good
Fantastic video. I have a pantry like yours. I think it was an addition because it’s freezing cold in there, perfect for food storage. I keep my fridge and freezers in there as well. It has no windows, but it has a huge patio door, so I put the room darkening curtains up today. I spent this spring replastering the ceiling, painting the walls and floors and put all new shelves and lights in there. I got the idea for the giant food buckets from you, so thanks for that. Have a great evening. ☮️💕
@@cynthiafisher9907 I keep Ball jars in the freezer with broth, soups, beans, etc and never had an incident with them. They are tempered to resist extreme temperatures.
When someone says “I think about it all the time” in regards to a food item…..we can hang. Love it. Super inspirational and always learn something. Plus your energy gets me up and moving!
For the small garlic heads that are annoying to peel, try cutting the top off, add oil and oven roast them. Then when they're done you squeeze the bottom of the bulb and they come out so easily! Its my FAVORITE way to eat garlic (its amazing on toast) and it will save you the time of peeling all of those tiny cloves!!! I hope this helps!!! Love watching your videos every time you upload
@@m.walker7907 I don’t think the previous commenter was being rude. Your original comment on this thread makes it sound like you could be asking if that would work.
From experience, onions and potatoes need to be kept far away from each other. The gases produced by onions actually cause the potatoes to hasten their sprouting! Amazing and really informative video as always Becky! :) much love from Quebec Canada
Yes, my Grandma who essentially canned everything they(and us) ate, always separated the potatoes and onions because of the gases given off that hasten sprouting of potatoes.
Good to know that, for some reason I've always kept alliums separate from root vegies, maybe I subconsciously knew this. Storing fresh apples with potatoes makes both keep better as well.
Becky,this is such an inspirational video! I live in the interior of British Columbia and all our highways/supply routes are cut off from the coast (where most of our food comes from)because of the catastophic flooding, landslides and washouts. We are in a state of emergency. Yesterday the panic buying started and the stores are cleaned out. There is no dairy, produce or meat anywhere. It's so important to know how to grow, store and prepare food. I will definitely be upping my game for next year and growing more!
Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I had a thought, our son and daughter in law had chickens. They weren't getting many eggs as it was winter. I was diagnosed with stage 4 leiomyosarcoma, a very aggressive and rare cancer and we immediately started juicing organic vegetables and fruits as my doc said that would be helpful. Everything from beets and carrots and apples to cabbage and broccoli and the rest along with fresh ginger and turmeric, every single day. We had all this beautiful, rainbow colored pulp left over and we decided to give it to the girls (what we called their chickens) and they began laying eggs again....they continued to lay all thru the winter. It was an awesome little bonus from the juicing....getting the protein. Anyway, might be worth a try except, you already do such an awesome job of using every bit. Thank you again for shaing.
I’m addicted to your channel too! I’m 75 and years ago I did what you’re doing now! Now I live in an apartment and they have rules on what you can put on your balcony! So I love what you do, but you have all the equipment and storage space to do it!! You’re so fortunate!😊❤❤
Becky - I just got America's Test Kitchen - "the New Cooking School Cookbook" just updated this Nov 2021 !! It was on my list since you mentioned it awhile ago. Now it is New version with many glossy pictures ! It is AWESOME. Love watching all your videos. You are real and I love that. Keep doing what you are doing. Hope you can quit your day job soon because I look forward to every one of your videos !
I bought a spaghetti squash after watching you say how long they last. 😂 Girl, I don’t even like it BUT if it lasts and I’m in need I’ll be grateful for it. You’ve also inspired me to start canning so I added supplies to my Wish list and will be checking Goodwill for jars and fun baskets. 🙏
I’m able to eat the spaghetti squash and zucchini’s and other squashes that I normally can’t eat because I’m a very picky eater in stir fry. I just chop them in cubes and make a sauce for them and for the first time in my life I can eat it and enjoy it. After getting used to eating it that way I discovered that I can put some in my homemade soups and enjoy it too. Try different recipes and see if you like it. I remember refusing to eat vegetables when I was younger but for some reason in stir frys or different recipes that my parents didn’t usually cook sometimes I’d be able to eat them and enjoy them. Sometimes you’ll find that a different cooking method or recipe is all you need to eat something you normally can’t.
You inspired me this year! My garden is in full spring swing (in Australia), I'm preserving all the time in many different ways, I'm cooking from scratch even more than before, I'm bulk buying everything and boosted my long term food storage! 😀 It's been so much fun!
If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, it’s absolutely worth it to invest in the grating, slicing etc attachments. You will get tons of apples done in a really short period of time!
Great job. I'm also a soapmaking and I make my own healing balms. For my balms, I triple infuse all of my herbals and flowers oils. I realize it's not necessary I just love knowing my balms are three times as strong. I broke out in shingles, used my anti viral balm and the blisters were almost totally gone In 4 days.
All ur videos are so interesting n full of valuable info about gardening n food. Love ur energy n hard working attitude. So young but so mature n driven.
Hello there from Australia. I just want to say how much I love u and your channel . I learn so much , I’m a first time grower and adore your easy recipes. X
I love watching your channel! I was unable to grow a garden this year due to a lower back injury and a broken arm because of my back. So sweet lady I found you and wishing wellness on your garden as it grew. I can say I am proud for you and the success on this years garden! Great job and I learned from you as well!
Watching you is an absolute delight! Besides all the great things I have learned from you, I appreciate you're authenticity so much! You're informative and inspiring, funny and real! I watched you all year work your buns off in the garden and kitchen and to watch this video and see the "fruits of your labor" beautifully stocked and stored I'm just in awe of your stamina! Thank you for all the info you share and for just being you.. I look forward to all your videos! God Bless your beautiful soul! 🙏❤🙏❤
I am so impressed at your young age the wisdom you have. Im 53 and so inspired by you. Looks like you had a great relationship with your grand mother or a mother figure. You're very wise beyond your age. Love it ❤❤
I love how dedicated and creative you are about using all the “scraps”! And I really look forward to hearing about bees - I’ve been wanting to try it for years, but I’m still too nervous to jump in. You make everything seem doable and less intimidating!
Dude, pantry goals. I can't wait to own a pressure canner soon! We're renting right now, so we can't have a permanent garden, but we've been mastering container gardening. Growing your own food is so rewarding!!!
I just love all the inspiration I get from you! Using the salsa juice for Mexican rice!🤯 Pantry goals! I'm so excited to get started on my 2022 garden!
Wow, this homestead pantry tour has filled my heart with so much joy and gratitude! 🌻❤️ Thank you for sharing this incredible glimpse into your homestead. Your dedication and hard work truly shine through, and it's inspiring to see how you've built such a beautiful pantry filled with homegrown goodness. The neatly organized shelves, the jars filled with preserved fruits and vegetables, and the vibrant colors are simply amazing! I'm in awe of your resourcefulness and the love you pour into every aspect of your homestead. Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for reminding us of the beauty and abundance that comes from living close to nature. Sending you love and gratitude from a newfound admirer! 👩🏾🌾🙏🏾🏡
I don't keep a lot of seeds, but Laura on the Garden Answer channel has an inventory of her seeds on a spreadsheet that she updates seasonally. That way she knows what to order as she uses them. I also think she has them organized in bins by planting season. I hope this helps.
My 2 and 4 year olds love to watch your videos. Thank you so much for helping me teach them about all food growing and processing. They ask lots of cute questions and it is a great snuggly bonding moment
I LOVE that Becky has more than 9k thumbs up and not a single 'dislike'! You are an inspiration.. thank you for sharing your the knowledge you've gained along the way and giving us your time. It is appreciated
Okay, this is exactly the video I needed because I'm about to start the build on the cabinetry for my food preservation/pantry :) I need a formal dining room like I need another hole in the head, so I'm totally gutting and renovating it into something useful! Also, I'm making the dinner rolls from scratch pantry for Thanksgiving this year :) I'm actually making them tomorrow on my day off, then tossing them in the freezer until the big day!
What I am concentrating on right now is no electricity items, just to save on electricity, plus we are new to this area and our power goes out easily. Love your videos it is my favorite at 70 years old and learning from you. Pat from Oregon coast
Those dark green squash that you said you aren't sure of the name, are called " Turks Turban"...as they look like a turban...lol ..I grew them a few yrs ago except mine were a bright orange with tinges of dark green & pale yellow vertical stripes .but apparently they can vary in colour quite a lot .another wonderful pumpkin to grow is "wrinkled butternut " ( I'm in Australia we call them pumpkin but I've noticed you call them winter squash in the US.)this pumpkin has an amazing sweet taste & firm bright orange flesh & a very small seed cavity & store really well ..so you get good value .they can grow up to 6kg (13lb) each with 3 per plant which is awesome. Always store your pumpkins & squash side ways ( with the belly button & stem base from left to right etc...they last longer.) few yrs ago I had a great haul so i actually did my own experiment & stored two on their base & the rest side ways ...the 2 sitting on their belly button went mouldy after a few months the rest of the pumpkin stored sideways lasted me almost a yr in perfect condition.
You. Are. Amazing! We do a lot of gardening, dehydrating, and canning, but we do it as a family - my MIL, 3 SILs, my husband, and me. Like…it literally takes a village (granted, we all live on a homestead together), but this looks like fruits of many hands labor. To do all this alone is so incredible! Be super proud, lady!
A good method to peel garlic is to break the bulb apart and put all the cloves in a bowl, then add boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes and drain. Most skins come right off. I learned this from Nadia Hussain’s Netflix show Time to Eat - the instant noodle recipe.
Hello from the UK. Thank you so much for showing your pantry, I have been binge watching your channel. it has made me want to learn how to can and do a vegetable garden. And also make a larger pantry of foods that we eat. I’ll be able to learn alongside my 10 year old son so he can learn too. These video’s have come at the right time. Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For seed storage, I saw someone use a regular binder to sort their seeds with the plastic sleeves you would normally put paper in. I have even seen someone use a photo album. For my seeds I am going to use and extra cd binder I have to sort my seeds.
Just ran into your channel today; kudos for you for having a contingency plan. You're videos are very resourceful and you obviously put in a lot of time into not only your food prep, but the production of your videos as well. Thank you! ⭐️🙏🥰
I really love watching you I'm 82 and have health issues, when I was raisin my family I canned with my kids, and I love cooking with you. Where I lived the farmers let us glean, I lived in San Joaquin Valley in California. I miss canning. Retired to Hawaii ALOHA
I love my home made pastas too. Hubby is getting me Emerils new Pasta and beyond machine to make it so much faster for me...cant wait till Christmas....
I live in an apartment and can't garden nor have enough storage space. so sad! but I still love watching your videos as I still learn a lot! thank you!
I started canning about 12 years ago when I had a good sized garden. Unfortunately, I haven't done it in a while. I still make homemade broth and store it in the freezer. When I found your videos, I became inspired again. I have made freezer meals. I am replacing my groceries as I run out, with organic products. Thank you for all your inspiration.
I haven’t started any of this yet, but my family is planning to move to a farm and start our own farmstead. I am so excited! Your video really inspires me. I hope to watch many more of your videos and learn from you. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information.
Not sure if you have the preserving veggie book by Angie Schneider, but her sweet and tangy coleslaw is to DIE FOR. I never liked canned coleslaw until I tried her recipe. Soooo good!
You are such an inspiration! I bought an All American Pressure Canner last year and still haven’t used it! I’ve been intimidated, but this year is the year!!! Love, love your videos!
Can I just say that for all you do and how busy you keep yourself in the kitchen, in the garden, at work, etc... I'm just so impressed with how beautiful your nails always look! I can never keep my nails painted because I wash my hands too often. What's your secret? :^)
You are awesome I get so much inspiration from your videos and I look for them all the time. Your one of the reasons why I bought a food dehydrator and let me tell you I Love dehydrating food. I thank you and hope you keep up the good work and plz keep the videos coming 😊
Oh, how I wish I could watch this now on my lunch break! Guess I'll have to watch when I get home tonight. I appreciate all of the work that you do while at the same time showing us how you do it! I believe we can all learn from each other, and I am learning so much from your videos.. You are an inspiration to us all, Becky...thank you for all that you do! BTW, the Smash Chicken is AMAZING!
I put all my seeds in a zip up binder with inserts that hold 4 seed packs per page!! Got everything on amazon. Highly recommend! Super organized and so easy to see what you have/what you need ❤️❤️
I feel you on the needing to have a pantry in case of emergency. We are really feeling the effects of climate change this year in the Pacific Northwest Canada. Grocery stores are currently empty due to extreme flooding and mudslides. I feel grateful for having a good stock of stuff in the freezer and pantry
I luv watching & learning how you preserved food & stuff for sustainable living. It's so inspiring!! Thank you & GBU! Look forward to see your other videos👍👍
Becky I love your videos and how informative you are!! You make learning new things so much more fun :) . I was wondering for the 5 gallon buckets how many pounds can they fit of flour, rice, beans, ect...
I noticed you have nuts in jars . I keep mine in the freezer. I would rather have them out of the freezer. Do you do anything to keep them in jars so they don’t become rancid?
The tour was fantastic. I'd have to use a label maker so I'd know what everything is. Or I just write on lids. Noticed not everything is labeled. My memory is terrible. Absolutely loved your tour.
We go through countless cans of broth and dried bulk beans. I love it and it pays for itself so many times over. Cheap turkey,chicken and pork, the bones get turned into amazing incredible broth.
"This room stays cool because house is old, it was built in 1980." Me: Laughs aloud thinking about how I'm living in a house built in 1899; and can remember what I was doing in 1980. 🤣

Yes! Just this summer I got 2 cases to organize my seeds. An investment worth making for sure. I am very thankful to have them.
I also store my seeds the same way.
I got mine at Hobby Lobby. It’s great to know I don’t have to worry about the seed packets falling out and becoming disorganized like I did when I used a show box.
Over the Summer I bought two and labeled them for Spring and Fall and placed the appropriate seeds packets in each.
I remember my Grandma doing this when I was young! Wish I would’ve asked all the questions then…. but your videos are so helpful now 🙏🏽
Totally appreciate you!
Idea for seed storage" I used a few 3 ring binders with trading card pockets and I organize the seeds with all the same kind of items together that way I can look at a glance with I have for cukes, tomatoes, herbs etc. I love it! That was my winter project last year!
Genius
Saying that Becky is amazing is not worthy but I am speechless. I freaking loved this tour.
Thank you so much!!
If you want to can meat balls since its not recommended to use dairy or bread. You can use ground mushrooms as a binder. It enhances the flavor and can be safely canned. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for that.i will do that
This is genius!!
game changer, thanks!
I have heard that you can also use ground up pork rinds. Just sayen.
If someone doesn't have outdoor space for growing, mycelium packs are amazing! Our bucket gave us a mushroom flush probably a dozen times before it stopped producing, not just once. Sometimes we'd leave for a couple days and come home and there'd just be...another set of mushrooms...
(Also, this video is very inspiring and I love the thought you put into it!)
The end of this comment made me smile, just '...another set of mushrooms...' 😂
Becky when I saw all the garlic it reminded me of last year. I minced a ton of garlic in my food processor and dehydrated it outside (no stinky house.) I ended up with two half gallon jars of dehydrated minced garlic which is my favorite of all time. When I need minced garlic I put a tablespoon or so in a little prep bowl and add hot water. In just a few minutes I have fresh tasting rehydrated minced garlic to cook with. It’s fantastic! I made so much last year that I haven’t minced garlic since. I probably have about a third of one jar left. When it’s empty I will do it again. I hope it lasts until next summer’s harvest of garlic.
I can’t wait for this! I have learned so much from you in just the last few months since I found your channel. I love your personality and that you make each one of us feel like we have known you and been friends with you for ever, you have a real talent for connecting with people. Wishing you all the best always!
Wow thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are here, Sharon!!
I’m looking at all of this and thinking my family of 4 wouldn’t go through all of this food! I’d love to see an update before the next garden season 2022 to see what you were able to get through and have left over compared to this video. I’d also love to see you point out utilizing your goods in your future food prep videos. Amazing all you have done. Thank you for sharing!
Yes, you do make a lot - hope you are able to eat everything ..thank you for your videos...
There's not a lot of real food there. sounds like it's most sauces and salsas
@@jawanauselton9197 She has a freezer for meat and chicken, plus she buys that in bulk too.
Congratulations Becky on your canning, freeze drying,hydrated plus food storage venture. All your hard work will pay off. Next year will be easier on your pocket book because you have all your storage equipment. I know you have spent a ton over last few years. Gardening and food preservation is such hard work. Im so proud to see a young lady carrying on the skills you have.
Food safety tip: don't leave rings on the jars, and don't stack them. The rings can mask a jar that hasn't actually properly sealed, and weight on the lids can break the seals (and cause the lid to stick to the jar and make you think it hasn't been compromised). Please be safe!
You can stack them if you have something like cardboard between so I stack mine in the original boxes they come in.
I want to learn how to can. Do you pressure cook with the rings on then take off after?
For over 50 years, I have left the rings on, and have never had even one issue. Taking the rings off means that if your lids are bumped, the lid can release or come off. I always have and always will leave rings on for safety. No one ever took lids off back in the day.
Leaving the rings on is dangerous too bc it can cause the lids to reseal
@@NaturalLivingHomesteader i did NOT know that. Ty.
I was terrified of pressure canning too and I looooove it. It’s so much easier than I thought it’d be. I love canning my own homegrown convenience foods.
the rhubarb bbq sauce--we figured out what our grandpa's secret recipe was, he grew his own ingredients and that BBQ sauce never upset my stomach. really enjoyed all the details of your pantry. thank you for sharing all your goodies!
Wow, Becky you are a rock star. That pantry in amazing. Just a note, you can get a false seal by stacking canned jars on top of each other. I would hate for you to lose all that hard work by stacking jars. Love ya. BTW. Your nails are so pretty.
It must be awesome walking by that walk in pantry, and saying, “I did that!” Amazing!
So what you're saying is, I should have bought a 4 bedroom house instead of 3 -_- This pantry of yours is wonderful
This may have been mentioned before but 4x6 photo boxes are amazing for seed organization. I switched to this last year and it allows me to stay organized and bring my seeds out to the garden even if it is rainy and the seeds stay good
Fantastic video. I have a pantry like yours. I think it was an addition because it’s freezing cold in there, perfect for food storage. I keep my fridge and freezers in there as well. It has no windows, but it has a huge patio door, so I put the room darkening curtains up today. I spent this spring replastering the ceiling, painting the walls and floors and put all new shelves and lights in there. I got the idea for the giant food buckets from you, so thanks for that. Have a great evening. ☮️💕
@@cynthiafisher9907 I keep Ball jars in the freezer with broth, soups, beans, etc and never had an incident with them. They are tempered to resist extreme temperatures.
Well buy a thermostat to see how cold it gets
When someone says “I think about it all the time” in regards to a food item…..we can hang. Love it. Super inspirational and always learn something. Plus your energy gets me up and moving!
For the small garlic heads that are annoying to peel, try cutting the top off, add oil and oven roast them. Then when they're done you squeeze the bottom of the bulb and they come out so easily! Its my FAVORITE way to eat garlic (its amazing on toast) and it will save you the time of peeling all of those tiny cloves!!! I hope this helps!!! Love watching your videos every time you upload
How about air fryer to do the garlic
@@m.walker7907 The Salted Pepper has instructions on how to do that easily 🙏
@@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 I know how to do "IT",BEEN cooking since AGE 12 years old....Way ahead of salted Pepper.
@@m.walker7907 I don’t think the previous commenter was being rude. Your original comment on this thread makes it sound like you could be asking if that would work.
@@mwillis7791 I sure would like to know how to do them eggs.Sure would.But have sooo many gadget's now.It keeps on multipleing.
From experience, onions and potatoes need to be kept far away from each other. The gases produced by onions actually cause the potatoes to hasten their sprouting!
Amazing and really informative video as always Becky! :) much love from Quebec Canada
Good to know. I will separate mine
Yes, my Grandma who essentially canned everything they(and us) ate, always separated the potatoes and onions because of the gases given off that hasten sprouting of potatoes.
Good to know that, for some reason I've always kept alliums separate from root vegies, maybe I subconsciously knew this.
Storing fresh apples with potatoes makes both keep better as well.
@@helenlecornu1651 I did not know that about apples and potatoes. Good to know. Thank you.
good to know if you WANT to sprout potatoes!! ;)
Becky,this is such an inspirational video! I live in the interior of British Columbia and all our highways/supply routes are cut off from the coast (where most of our food comes from)because of the catastophic flooding, landslides and washouts. We are in a state of emergency. Yesterday the panic buying started and the stores are cleaned out. There is no dairy, produce or meat anywhere. It's so important to know how to grow, store and prepare food. I will definitely be upping my game for next year and growing more!
Stay safe! Our good wishes are with you.
Prayed for your area - God will provide!
Tip for peeling garlic: put the unpeeled cloves in a glass jar and shake! It's so much easier :)
❤️❤️❤️
Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I had a thought, our son and daughter in law had chickens. They weren't getting many eggs as it was winter. I was diagnosed with stage 4 leiomyosarcoma, a very aggressive and rare cancer and we immediately started juicing organic vegetables and fruits as my doc said that would be helpful. Everything from beets and carrots and apples to cabbage and broccoli and the rest along with fresh ginger and turmeric, every single day. We had all this beautiful, rainbow colored pulp left over and we decided to give it to the girls (what we called their chickens) and they began laying eggs again....they continued to lay all thru the winter. It was an awesome little bonus from the juicing....getting the protein. Anyway, might be worth a try except, you already do such an awesome job of using every bit. Thank you again for shaing.
I’m addicted to your channel too! I’m 75 and years ago I did what you’re doing now! Now I live in an apartment and they have rules on what you can put on your balcony! So I love what you do, but you have all the equipment and storage space to do it!! You’re so fortunate!😊❤❤
Becky - I just got America's Test Kitchen - "the New Cooking School Cookbook" just updated this Nov 2021 !! It was on my list since you mentioned it awhile ago. Now it is New version with many glossy pictures ! It is AWESOME. Love watching all your videos. You are real and I love that. Keep doing what you are doing. Hope you can quit your day job soon because I look forward to every one of your videos !
What about a hang up shoe organizer for your seeds? With clear pockets? Then you could see what’s in each one with a glance
Awesome idea!
Congrats on reaching 161,000! You go girl!
I agree that you should label your jars. That way if something happens anyone can pick out what they need.
I bought a spaghetti squash after watching you say how long they last. 😂 Girl, I don’t even like it BUT if it lasts and I’m in need I’ll be grateful for it.
You’ve also inspired me to start canning so I added supplies to my Wish list and will be checking Goodwill for jars and fun baskets. 🙏
YAY!! I'm so excited for you Hope!! Thank you for sharing with me!
If it starts going soft on you and it’s not something you like.. it can be used in place of pumpkin in pumpkins bars/bread :)
I found jars and lids at my local Target (November 17th)
I’m able to eat the spaghetti squash and zucchini’s and other squashes that I normally can’t eat because I’m a very picky eater in stir fry. I just chop them in cubes and make a sauce for them and for the first time in my life I can eat it and enjoy it. After getting used to eating it that way I discovered that I can put some in my homemade soups and enjoy it too. Try different recipes and see if you like it. I remember refusing to eat vegetables when I was younger but for some reason in stir frys or different recipes that my parents didn’t usually cook sometimes I’d be able to eat them and enjoy them. Sometimes you’ll find that a different cooking method or recipe is all you need to eat something you normally can’t.
You inspired me this year! My garden is in full spring swing (in Australia), I'm preserving all the time in many different ways, I'm cooking from scratch even more than before, I'm bulk buying everything and boosted my long term food storage! 😀
It's been so much fun!
If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, it’s absolutely worth it to invest in the grating, slicing etc attachments. You will get tons of apples done in a really short period of time!
I love the attachment that peels, cores, and slices the apples at the same time. It saves me tons of time when I can applesauce and apple pie filling!
Great job. I'm also a soapmaking and I make my own healing balms. For my balms, I triple infuse all of my herbals and flowers oils. I realize it's not necessary I just love knowing my balms are three times as strong. I broke out in shingles, used my anti viral balm and the blisters were almost totally gone In 4 days.
All ur videos are so interesting n full of valuable info about gardening n food. Love ur energy n hard working attitude. So young but so mature n driven.
For year round eggs you should try the Australorp breed. They are champion egg layers who average 300+ eggs per year. They are a great hen.
Wow!! I need to try that!!
And very sweet tempered.
@@pookiesmamma yes they are. And so very pretty as well.
In fact one of them holds the worlds record for laying 364 eggs in one year.
We have issia brown chickens. Great layers and gentle. Big brown eggs.
Wow Becky, you are truly an inspiration. I have canned so much we had to turn a bedroom into a pantry. I watch all your videos and most 2 or 3 times.
Hello there from Australia. I just want to say how much I love u and your channel . I learn so much , I’m a first time grower and adore your easy recipes.
X
I love your videos so much! I love that you show us the mistakes too...real life examples are so helpful! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!!
I love watching your channel! I was unable to grow a garden this year due to a lower back injury and a broken arm because of my back. So sweet lady I found you and wishing wellness on your garden as it grew. I can say I am proud for you and the success on this years garden! Great job and I learned from you as well!
Watching you is an absolute delight! Besides all the great things I have learned from you, I appreciate you're authenticity so much! You're informative and inspiring, funny and real! I watched you all year work your buns off in the garden and kitchen and to watch this video and see the "fruits of your labor" beautifully stocked and stored I'm just in awe of your stamina! Thank you for all the info you share and for just being you.. I look forward to all your videos! God Bless your beautiful soul! 🙏❤🙏❤
Just found you today and now I'm bingeing. I'm a brand new homesteader and aspire to be as energetic and organized as you are!!
So great watching you young lady, definitely a role model for the young and us “old” peeps! Keep inspiring us all!
I am so impressed at your young age the wisdom you have. Im 53 and so inspired by you. Looks like you had a great relationship with your grand mother or a mother figure. You're very wise beyond your age. Love it ❤❤
I love how dedicated and creative you are about using all the “scraps”! And I really look forward to hearing about bees - I’ve been wanting to try it for years, but I’m still too nervous to jump in. You make everything seem doable and less intimidating!
Dude, pantry goals. I can't wait to own a pressure canner soon! We're renting right now, so we can't have a permanent garden, but we've been mastering container gardening. Growing your own food is so rewarding!!!
That's amazing! Also buying from farmers and farmers markets. Pretty soon you are on the road to food preservation as Becky is.
I just love all the inspiration I get from you! Using the salsa juice for Mexican rice!🤯 Pantry goals! I'm so excited to get started on my 2022 garden!
Wow, this homestead pantry tour has filled my heart with so much joy and gratitude! 🌻❤️
Thank you for sharing this incredible glimpse into your homestead. Your dedication and hard work truly shine through, and it's inspiring to see how you've built such a beautiful pantry filled with homegrown goodness. The neatly organized shelves, the jars filled with preserved fruits and vegetables, and the vibrant colors are simply amazing! I'm in awe of your resourcefulness and the love you pour into every aspect of your homestead.
Keep up the fantastic work, and thank you for reminding us of the beauty and abundance that comes from living close to nature. Sending you love and gratitude from a newfound admirer! 👩🏾🌾🙏🏾🏡
I don't keep a lot of seeds, but Laura on the Garden Answer channel has an inventory of her seeds on a spreadsheet that she updates seasonally. That way she knows what to order as she uses them. I also think she has them organized in bins by planting season. I hope this helps.
My 2 and 4 year olds love to watch your videos. Thank you so much for helping me teach them about all food growing and processing. They ask lots of cute questions and it is a great snuggly bonding moment
Hi, Becky I just love your channel. I have learned so much. Keep up the good work. More canning and recipes plz.
I LOVE that Becky has more than 9k thumbs up and not a single 'dislike'! You are an inspiration.. thank you for sharing your the knowledge you've gained along the way and giving us your time. It is appreciated
Okay, this is exactly the video I needed because I'm about to start the build on the cabinetry for my food preservation/pantry :) I need a formal dining room like I need another hole in the head, so I'm totally gutting and renovating it into something useful!
Also, I'm making the dinner rolls from scratch pantry for Thanksgiving this year :) I'm actually making them tomorrow on my day off, then tossing them in the freezer until the big day!
What I am concentrating on right now is no electricity items, just to save on electricity, plus we are new to this area and our power goes out easily. Love your videos it is my favorite at 70 years old and learning from you. Pat from Oregon coast
Those dark green squash that you said you aren't sure of the name, are called
" Turks Turban"...as they look like a turban...lol ..I grew them a few yrs ago except mine were a bright orange with tinges of dark green & pale yellow vertical stripes .but apparently they can vary in colour quite a lot .another wonderful pumpkin to grow is "wrinkled butternut " ( I'm in Australia we call them pumpkin but I've noticed you call them winter squash in the US.)this pumpkin has an amazing sweet taste & firm bright orange flesh & a very small seed cavity & store really well ..so you get good value .they can grow up to 6kg (13lb) each with 3 per plant which is awesome. Always store your pumpkins & squash side ways ( with the belly button & stem base from left to right etc...they last longer.) few yrs ago I had a great haul so i actually did my own experiment & stored two on their base & the rest side ways ...the 2 sitting on their belly button went mouldy after a few months the rest of the pumpkin stored sideways lasted me almost a yr in perfect condition.
You. Are. Amazing! We do a lot of gardening, dehydrating, and canning, but we do it as a family - my MIL, 3 SILs, my husband, and me. Like…it literally takes a village (granted, we all live on a homestead together), but this looks like fruits of many hands labor. To do all this alone is so incredible! Be super proud, lady!
A good method to peel garlic is to break the bulb apart and put all the cloves in a bowl, then add boiling water. Let sit for 10 minutes and drain. Most skins come right off. I learned this from Nadia Hussain’s Netflix show Time to Eat - the instant noodle recipe.
Hello from the UK. Thank you so much for showing your pantry, I have been binge watching your channel. it has made me want to learn how to can and do a vegetable garden. And also make a larger pantry of foods that we eat. I’ll be able to learn alongside my 10 year old son so he can learn too. These video’s have come at the right time. Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For seed storage, I saw someone use a regular binder to sort their seeds with the plastic sleeves you would normally put paper in. I have even seen someone use a photo album. For my seeds I am going to use and extra cd binder I have to sort my seeds.
Just ran into your channel today; kudos for you for having a contingency plan. You're videos are very resourceful and you obviously put in a lot of time into not only your food prep, but the production of your videos as well. Thank you! ⭐️🙏🥰
I'm surprised you haven't tried making your own mustards yet! So fun to try different herbs and spices with your mustard seeds
I really love watching you I'm 82 and have health issues, when I was raisin my family I canned with my kids, and I love cooking with you. Where I lived the farmers let us glean, I lived in San Joaquin Valley in California. I miss canning. Retired to Hawaii ALOHA
I love my home made pastas too. Hubby is getting me Emerils new Pasta and beyond machine to make it so much faster for me...cant wait till Christmas....
Just seen it at walmart and almost picked it up but know I never make homemade pasta, plus I already have 10 too many gadgets.
I live in an apartment and can't garden nor have enough storage space. so sad! but I still love watching your videos as I still learn a lot! thank you!
We had so much zucchini this summer. I made zucchini jam and it is delicious. You should definitely give it a try if you haven't yet.
Impressive pantry! Hint: Store your potatoes far from your onions & garlic to keep them from chitting early. I am also in WA State.
I started canning about 12 years ago when I had a good sized garden. Unfortunately, I haven't done it in a while. I still make homemade broth and store it in the freezer. When I found your videos, I became inspired again. I have made freezer meals. I am replacing my groceries as I run out, with organic products. Thank you for all your inspiration.
I haven’t started any of this yet, but my family is planning to move to a farm and start our own farmstead. I am so excited! Your video really inspires me. I hope to watch many more of your videos and learn from you. Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information.
Not sure if you have the preserving veggie book by Angie Schneider, but her sweet and tangy coleslaw is to DIE FOR. I never liked canned coleslaw until I tried her recipe. Soooo good!
You are such an inspiration! I bought an All American Pressure Canner last year and still haven’t used it! I’ve been intimidated, but this year is the year!!! Love, love your videos!
Can I just say that for all you do and how busy you keep yourself in the kitchen, in the garden, at work, etc... I'm just so impressed with how beautiful your nails always look! I can never keep my nails painted because I wash my hands too often. What's your secret? :^)
Thank you! I get them done and they aren't my real nails.... Im a nail biter and it's the only way i can stop myself form biting them....
That's very cool
When will we get our list of items we need for the container garden that we are going to do in the spring? I am excited.
You are awesome I get so much inspiration from your videos and I look for them all the time. Your one of the reasons why I bought a food dehydrator and let me tell you I Love dehydrating food. I thank you and hope you keep up the good work and plz keep the videos coming 😊
Oh, how I wish I could watch this now on my lunch break! Guess I'll have to watch when I get home tonight. I appreciate all of the work that you do while at the same time showing us how you do it! I believe we can all learn from each other, and I am learning so much from your videos.. You are an inspiration to us all, Becky...thank you for all that you do! BTW, the Smash Chicken is AMAZING!
No worries! I hope you are having a great work day! I'm so glad you liked the smashed chicken! I love it so much!!
@@AcreHomestead Keep the recipes coming, I did a couple of the other chicken freezer meals too and they were all delicious!
I put all my seeds in a zip up binder with inserts that hold 4 seed packs per page!! Got everything on amazon. Highly recommend! Super organized and so easy to see what you have/what you need ❤️❤️
I feel you on the needing to have a pantry in case of emergency. We are really feeling the effects of climate change this year in the Pacific Northwest Canada. Grocery stores are currently empty due to extreme flooding and mudslides. I feel grateful for having a good stock of stuff in the freezer and pantry
Grand Solar Minimum
I luv watching & learning how you preserved food & stuff for sustainable living. It's so inspiring!! Thank you & GBU! Look forward to see your other videos👍👍
Becky I love your videos and how informative you are!! You make learning new things so much more fun :) . I was wondering for the 5 gallon buckets how many pounds can they fit of flour, rice, beans, ect...
I love yo can the Liquid when making tomatoe items & it makes the taste of pasta or rice so much better
I noticed you have nuts in jars . I keep mine in the freezer. I would rather have them out of the freezer. Do you do anything to keep them in jars so they don’t become rancid?
I wondered the same thing. Makes me so mad when I go to get some and they have turned. Too expensive for that.
You are amazing! Your energy and commitment are awesome. You've inspired me to preserve even though I can't maintain a garden at this stage of life.
You can do it!
The tour was fantastic. I'd have to use a label maker so I'd know what everything is. Or I just write on lids. Noticed not everything is labeled. My memory is terrible. Absolutely loved your tour.
I am just in awe of your abilities. Just found your channel and I am blown away!!
Becky, what sized moisture-retention thingies do you put into your gallon-sized jars with your dry goods? Thanks.
We go through countless cans of broth and dried bulk beans. I love it and it pays for itself so many times over. Cheap turkey,chicken and pork, the bones get turned into amazing incredible broth.
"This room stays cool because house is old, it was built in 1980."

I will have to tell my little sister that she’s old. She was born in 1980.
Yeah. Becky is my kids' age, and their definition of "old" and mine are definitely not the same. I laughed at that.
When my kids want to rib me, they say something happened "before the turn of the century."
