I really like when you say you are tired or exhausted because that is the reality of a life of self - activity. Others sugar-coat it but it actually is a constant round of tending. prepping. observing. planning etc. I hope you realise how inspirational you are!!!

Blanching also helps to stop plant tissue from maturing further. Many blessings everyone.

I'm so excited for you and your new Freeze Dryer. I knew you needed one. I just purchased one myself, but I don't have near the abundance that you have. I just dried some herbs and the difference in the color and taste is so much better than air dried. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

We blanch before freezing to stop further enzyme action that leads to loss of flavor, color, and texture. How long we blanch depends on the vegetable. Love the freeze dryer for you!

We really enjoy feeding the lower growth of all our last season extras that are going to seed in the garden too! It's a beautiful aspect of gardens and chickens, we have our run around our main garden bed and anytime we are in the garden the chickens line up at the fence, hopeful for the buffet they see all day to be shared.

Love the Ollas and love that you're incorporating the broccoli leaves into your meal planning! Mine completely bolted this year and up until I googled it, desprite to not have it all go to waste, I had no idea you could eat the leaves! Tried sautéing them in a stirfry with some olive oil, butter, garlic, salt & pepper and they were delicious! This weekend I'm planning on blanching them, processing them into 'patties' with a burger patty press and freezing them for pre-portioned bricks. This way I can move the bolted broccoli out, replant for a fall harvest, and still get some greens out of the garden.

The water source to keep the birds from going after your fruit makes sense. I leave some fruit for the birds. Fruit that, in other places, people cover because the birds take them all. And the birds don't bother! I think it's because of the multitude of wild fruit around here.

I was thinking about how to blanch more veg at a time and the first thing that comes to mind is my air-fryer basket. I don't have the typical counter-top square unit; our kitchen has the Emeril pressure/air-fryer, so our basket is the big round screen type. Another option would be a sieve. The idea is, load up your air-fryer basket or sieve with broccoli, lower it into the boiling water, let it blanch, then lift it all out and put it straight into the ice-water bath... all in one batch and then out and load it into the salad spinner basket over the sink. (IF the salad spinner basket is silicone, you could do it all in one container... but ONLY if it's silicone.) (I hope silicone is safe.) No ladle needed and you can get it all done in 1/10th of the time. NExt you get to start learning all the tips and tricks (and fun and exciting new Gear) and methods for freeze-drying. Yay.

I love your videos! When I was looking into freezing produce I was like “blanching” ?? But I just knew you’d have a video on it 💖 How long do the frozen veggies normally last in the freezer?

@BrightestBlessings7899 Жыл бұрын

Do you rotate your garden occupants? I put garlic in whichever beds just had beans, when I plant in the fall. That way I am not growing the same warm weather plants in the same gardens. I did the same thing with my garlic....just put the cloves all into 1 bowl and only planted the biggest 74 cloves!! Only the Elephant Garlic was kept separate.

Hello and good morning. Can you share what mulch topper you use and where you get it please? I purchased some in TS and I was devastated because it was seeded! I have been removing grass even after I removed all the mulch straw. :(

Actually, blanching is to help kill the enzymes that deteriorate the vegetables in the freezer

I noticed your eggs on the counter container. Do you leave them like that for a period of time before refrigerating? If so how long can I keep my eggs un refrigerated??

@itsbreellis Жыл бұрын

As long as they are unwashed I leave them for 3 weeks. After that ill put them in the fridge, or if I have a large amount to keep longer
