    A little tip on the rose hips! Make a warming rose hip pureéd soup , It is a common "dessert" in Sweden called Nyponsoppa, which directly translates to rose hip soup.
    Basically just boil rose hips in water until softened and then mix them into a pureé, ad water until desired consistency and sweeten to taste. Can be served hot or cold :)

      Hi - I live in the northeast zone 5a. Hard neck garlic is what grows in the northeast. Each bulb has about 5 cloves. Very pungent and the bonus with hard neck is the garlic scapes you get first. The scape is the flower. You cut it off before it flowers so the plant energy goes to the bulb. If you are down south you would grow soft neck. Eric and Arielle how hard neck.

    I think you really need to build some kind of wind break/snow blocker. for your bees to make it over winter. My father-in-law raised bees his whole life and said it was important. He was able to have his hives where trees kept them protected but always made sure to get as much snow away so they got enough air.

    Love how many vegetables you are able to put in your quiche. As a chef I haven't found many tips I can provide because you all know what you are doing! One small tip is to break your eggs on a flat surface as opposed to the rim of the bowl. This will help prevent shells from entering the batter. Awesome video as always!

    Little tip when grating items to make it easier. Instead of keeping grater straight up with the handle being on top, try laying it on the side where you hold the handle towards you body and the hole is away from you. This way the top of the grater is the place being used, all of the food has a place to go out which means less stopping and the forward motion is much less straining. Have a great day and awesome ariel shots in the intro. :)

  • @davidmesser8619

    When you guys were hanging the garlic I thought, hey they must be getting ready for vampire season. No sooner than I thought it, you said it. Amazing. You guys need to broadcast wildflower seed next spring. Sounds like there's not enough flowers for the bees to make honey to share. You might want to build a small high tunnel for the bees for winter protection. I liked your canning recipes as well. You folks take care. Vaughn

    • @davidmesser8619

    You won't believe this! Today, my 2-egg breakfast included 2 double-yolk eggs. They were included in a 6-pack of Trader Joes's organic, free range eggs.
    According to my research, this usually occurs with pullets believed to be due to the beginning formation of their egg laying organs. Alternatively, double-yolkers occur with older hens who are nearing the end of their egg laying life.
    Absolutely love your chickens! Glossy feathers, clear-eyed and happy attitudes. Must be all that great food and love you give them.

    You made me hungry watching you making squash relish. Good video. I have always heard it takes 2 years to get honey. I watch another homesteading channel that sets a different style of hive. I don’t know now if excluding the Queen from the super is a good idea. I believe the important part is that you have healthy brood and capped honey. Your winters are cold and long and it will be hard to get through the winter. Best of luck to the two of you.

Take your bunch of garlic wrap 2 to 3 times and pass the end loop through the 2 lines coming down from the hitch and place a toggle through the end loop. Now you can reuse it for next years drying of garlic. Thanks Guys.
