Another job well done Halvor. I was having the same thoughts the Elyse had , you have a wonderful rich looking soil and stone free, very lucky. My black currants got over run this year with squash vines. Looking forward to cleaning that up as soon s we have a hard frost.
Hard work moving those bushes! The area you live in is so green and beautiful. Garlic will thrive in those raised beds and I have found the only thing they don't like are wet feet or conditions, especially close to harvest. I process most of mine into freezer cubes and bring them out or cut a slice off for soups, stir fries or any meal I use garlic. Even salads I rub a cube of frozen garlic around the bowl before I add the greens.
I enjoyed your latest video. I can't get over how lush and green everything is still looking. Do take care storing your garlic in oil, as it can potentially go off and develop botulism toxin in it. I have read that garlic can be stored in oil and then safely kept in a freezer for longer storage. It is well worth reading up on it some more. I hope your blackcurrant bushes thrive in their new spot. Best wishes to you.
Hi Halvor, Good idea to remove them and see how they'll do in another location. Your soil looked very rich, we are still in the middle of a drought (today it was 105 degrees), the ground is dry & I'm constantly amending it. If you have a water bath canning set up, you can preserve whole cloves of garlic. If you break the bulb into cloves and blanch in hot water for 5 minutes, the skins slip right off. Make a brine of 3 cups white vinegar, 1 tsp picking salt & 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil, then add the peeled cloves and gently simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and pack the cloves in the jars within 3/4 " from rim, then ladle the liquid within 1/2" from rim. Add whole mustard seed, red pepper flakes, other spices if you like. Process for 30 minutes for either pints or quart jars. This is how my mom would do it. She made jars with different spices, our family loved them all. We had a very good family friend who lived in Gilroy (northern CA) which is called the "garlic capital of the world" - garlic is grown there like no place else. Perfect weather and conditions for it. He would bring my mom 2 cases of garlic and she'd get busy preserving it. We would give him crates of oranges, grapefruits and plums from our trees. You could also blanch, then slice thinly and dehydrate the garlic for longer storage. Stored in mylar bags with an oxygen absorber the garlic will keep for a very, very long time. Take care, Robin
I can feel the pain my friend! Your soil looks so good, rich and black, no rocks, lucky you! The best garlic pickles I ever hate were from my lacto-fermented veggies. I always put one or two cloves in my jars and I'm the one who eats them, don't tell anyone ;-) Take care my friend, Elyse.
Hello its good to see you filming again the season for growing is slowly coming to an end here i i grew all my veggies in containers i have a bad back while it did ok i hope to do better next year and i am starting some tomato plants indoors under grow lights i have a czech bush that i started its only 2 inch tall at the moment and some box car willys tomato seeds on there way well wish me luck and thank you again
Seeing this in my list of videos makes me very happy. Great video mate. It looked like hard work, but as you said, a good job done. Best of luck with the garlic.
I have been moving shrubs around for the same reason. It is very hard to grow much of anything when there is too much shade. I hope the new location serves the black currant bushes well.
Love watching the cat in the background! Tail sticking up. They always have to know what is going on. Today, I found a tick in my male cats fur and he's very patient but squirmy. So my husband is holding him while I get tweezers to pick out the tick and the other cat runs over and looks at me like I'm killing him and she wants to watch. Lol.
I have two to move one red and one black but you put me off now looks like hard work ;-) Must say I am a fan of the garlic in oil too we dont make them.
Greetings~ New subscriber here from a High Mountain Desert in the US. Our hard winters last half the year. I’m thinking of transplanting some currants - it seems now would be the right time (Oct. 2nd)
The only recipe I know is to put the peeled garlic into a jar and fill it up with oil of your choice. Close the jar and keep it in a dark and dry place. If you done it wright, it will last for month, and you can use the oil (after eating the garlic...:o) ) as an aroma oil for salad and so on. Have god og hilsener fra Flensburg.
I like that guy not afraid 😱 getting his hands dirty not like the guys I know in New York they go to the nail salon 💅 every week wow believe me my friend I do the same here in New Jersey I got 37 different figs trees 🌲 I dig hals my self good job 👏👏👏👏
"These pickles have a really great kick to them! This is a recipe of my great grandpa's who is 96." Ingredients 1 (16 ounce) jar dill pickle slices 2 cups white sugar 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco(TM)) 6 cloves garlic, peeled 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes Directions Pour the jar of pickles and the liquid into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar, hot pepper sauce, garlic and red pepper. Return to the pickle jar and refrigerate for at least 1 day
Halvor, I have 3 black currant bushes here in Sweden. Every year they are loaded with berries. We freeze some, use them for sauces for wild game meat dishes, maybe some saft as well, but really have no idea what to do with them? Do you have some good Norwegian recipes for black currant? This year we didn`t pick any and had lots......
good move to the current location, I was hoping you didn't hurt your back. An awkward thing to lift. I just dry garlic, but in Norway I think its too humid to just let it dry garlic itself is a great preservative. I think just putting it in oil would make it last a long time. Not sure though. I've had it in oil, but it was commercially prepared. It lasted a long time. Recipe ... res (soft i) pee It's one of those english words where all the sounds aren't as usual Garlic is excellent stuff. About the best natural antibiotics you can get, and it's good for your body unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics.
This made me tired just watching. I recently had to bury my very old Jack Russell Terrior, Willy. It took 2 days to dig the hole because of the rocks here. Only way to do it was w/hose and hands, but he's at rest now with a willow tree above him. Your soil is sooo dark and rich looking, I envy you that.
I also enjoy watching how your life is very simple in a back to the basic s kind of way here in the U S A things move too fast fast for me anyway i would love to see more of you

Have seen log buildings like yours here in Northern MN with the same corner treatment. They were usually built by the Finnish settlers.

always dig your videos friend
I missed uploads on your channel... job well done. :)

Your apples are looking good. We grow garlic every year, but have never made an infused oil with it. Let me know what you find out.
6:49 I like that cabin would be neat to film it.
