Wow, thanks so much! I hope you continue to enjoy 😊

@@morethanfarmersmany people don’t realize that the leaves, shoots and flowers are edible. Sweet potatoes leaves are delicious cooked or in salads the taste like sweet potatoes. I haven’t done it but should work in smoothies. Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage leaves are all edible. Grapes leaves are edible and lots of recipes in Greek cooking. Raspberry and strawberry leaves are great in teas. Squash and zucchini leaves and shoots are edible, shoots raw, leaves cooked. There are many others, google is your friend. Of course you don’t want to strip plants of all their leaves but a few-some here and there are fine. Some leaves do better cooked, others are fine raw. Research each best ways to eat. You can double your crop this way without planting additional plants. Never eat tomato leaves or stalks, they are part of the nightshade family.

Haha! Thanks Tom! :)

I can't believe they don't have more subs. Honestly such a well rounded homesteaders view, and to the point, without using their kids to garner traffic. It's an amazing channel

Wow...we're honored. Thank you so much!

That's a great idea!

Thanks! Glad you're here!

@morethanfarmers love the fact you guys harvest that much on such a small piece of land.

No, we haven't done a house tour😊 Maybe in the future!

We do no have a site for all that, sorry.

Sure haven't.

Wow! Sounds great Lisette!

Can you just dehydrate them raw? What is the purpose of blanching them first? Also what was the exact process of how you STEAM blanched them? Thank you.

Cool, thanks!

That's amazing!

@@morethanfarmers completely.

16 inches. We get pretty much everything from Berlin Seeds.

Good to hear 😊 Welcome!

Yes, we use a lot of leaf mulch! It’s amazing. We have a local lawn service dump them for us in the fall.

Good tip!

This is what I do! It's so so convenient. I'll add it to anything: smoothies, scrambled eggs, fried rice, etc. Also a great way to get more greens into little ones!

How do you dry your greens? Air drying or dehydrator?

@@helenebennie3961 I air dry then finish them in the electric dehydrator .

Thanks.@@susankeriacos2892

If you ever move up here let us know!

You really just need a cool dark place. Some people find an old non-working chest freezer and bury it in the ground. You’d just wanna do it in a way that no child would ever get trapped inside.

Welcome here 😊

Berlin seeds. Let's hope they never stop!

Thanks for the feedback! We are in zone 5 and we're located in Central Ohio.

That's so cool! What were some of the greens?

Red and green Mustard greens, leave cabbage plants in, then eat sprouting tops and purple sprouting broccoli (these two are eaten in late winter). parsley, chicorys, leeks, chard, various oriental greens.

I just watched 2 more of your videos, and I learned something new; how to make tallow. The other one was a winter one. Looks like it gets colder, and for longer where you are. We never had snow for over a week in England or The island where I lived on the west coast of Canada. Prolonged and heavy snow, with freezing can damage the plants, mostly due to weight breakage. For a likely to succeed trial, plant mustard variety: greens in snow. Also, you could make another cold frame (like your lettuce ones, by the house). I forgot to mention arugula, or rocket, as it’s sometimes called. If you like bitter foods, try growing the kind of chicory, where you grow the toot, then bring it inside and force it in your basement over winter. That would be fun.. I used to grow sugar loaf green chicory outside. Sometimes the cold would kill off the outside of the plant. I would run it under the tap to find a creamy crunchy buttery interior. These cleaned heads would last for weeks in the fridge, and made a delicious lettuce replacement.

Chop it up and mix with sweet feed. I add dried kelp too for extra minerals, and maybe some extra molasses to cover the garlic better. If it’s a large bulb I’d pry just use half a bulb. Give it to her once a day. The milk will have a garlic taste, but worth it if it means not going the conventional route. The best thing for mastitis is to milk her out often. 3-4 times a day or even more if it’s a really bad case. But the garlic should help!

Garlic definitely healed my goat of mastitis. I blended garlic with molasses, apple cider vinegar, and some of her own milk. I gave it to her with a syringe. She loved it so much she was licking it up. She was healed after one day! Also very important to milk her out I think.

Sweet potatoes

I grew up on a potato farm in Idaho. We always had russet potatoes for breakfast lunch and dinner. We brought in boxes of them from the potato cellar (so we didn't have to go out get them in the winter) and kept them in cardboard boxes in a cool closet. They would keep well till late spring and then they would start to go a bit soft and have sprouted. We would pull off the sprouts and cook them up like normal. No one ever got sick (and there was 12 of us). But we never ate them if they had green skin, that can make you sick.

Sprouted is fine, but you can’t eat the green ones.

Fair enough 😊
