No I do not. I haven't done very many recipe videos because they don't tend to get many views. Plus setting up the camera in the kitchen is kind of a pain with how small our kitchen is.

I have not had the problem. I did have once where the nuts on the inside of the bucket worked loose and it leaked, so now I just check to make sure they are tight each morning, but never had the cups turn.

Nice! I hope they do well for you!

So a couple of things: I have a couple of pieces left in the top of my garage planned for a future update to the greenhouse, and a lot of it I used for windbreaks for my chickens in their run during winter. Additional note is that I am in the process of replacing the corrugated plastic roof I ended using with a metal roof over this past week. I hope to do a video update on that in the next few days.

Thank you!

lol Great idea!

Can try adding a little cinnamon to the top of the soil to prevent overgrowth as well as maybe putting a dark container around it. If your sides are transparent and letting light in that may be increasing ability for the algae to grow.

@@oneseedoneworld that's a very good tip. Thank you.

Thank you!

From my understanding, yes it can be. Young shoots can be eaten raw or cooked, but it is very mucilaginous, without much flavor. So probably not worth it. Additionally, you should always do additional research before consuming any wild foraged plant to ensure there aren't additional properties that have toxicity or that you may have allergic reactions to.

If they haven't been treated with medicine, yes you can eat them. Mycoplasma doesn't transfer to humans. If you have treated with Denagard or another type of medicine, you need to wait 10 days to 2 weeks before consuming the meat. Chicks will most likely be infected since it transfers from the hen to the chick in the egg.

Best of luck! The time out worked for mine for a while, but she started again later. Once I got a bantam rooster she stopped completely though.

Depends on the state. Some states it's illegal (like Texas). Other states you have to get permission from the AG Dept. first. But in states like mine, who never had a boll weevil issue and don't have cotton as a commercial crop, it's fine to grow in backyard gardens.

I had the part about smoking it in my notes, but forgot to cover it in the video!

"Waste"

Not sure what you mean about unfounded nonsense. The plants do have a toxicity in them and require proper preparation (and some people have allergic reactions to just handling the plant). They have a lot of good things about them and an interesting history, but its also important to understand the toxicity properties of the plant. It would be a disservice to not share that information.

Never personally known a single person in my 62 years that has had any kind of issue with the plant. Never heard before the internet started the campaign about this wickedly deadly plant being so bad. Peanuts are deadly for real to a lot of people too. Turns out apparently, you don't let your kids have peanuts when they're growing up they will die from coming in contact with them later in life. Strange world we live in.....

@@beebop9808 I don't think there is an internet campaign. And no one said anything about it being wickedly deadly, just caution about the actual properties in the plant. Its not made up, its actual botany. I do know people who have had allergic skin reactions to handling the plant without gloves, although it has never affected me this way. I think you are taking one portion of the video to make an argument and didn't bother with all the other things I mentioned on how the plant was and is used. I personally don't bother with eating it because I have plenty of other wild plants in my yard that can be eaten that don't have toxic properties that I need to be careful with (not to mention it constantly tries to overtake many of my flower beds, and I'm tired of keeping it at bay. Mine is just one take on the plant, and its important for each person to do their own research and make their own decision on if and how they want to use any wild foraged plant. Discussing the chemical make up of a plant isn't a campaign against it.

Yes they don't like the roots disturbed and normally go into a a period of transplant shock for a while after. However since they are annuals, I don't think its probably worth the effort. They are really good at reseeding themselves though. I have huge patches of celosia that I didn't plant that just reseeded from last year. I think it might be easier to just plant new seeds at your new house and the celosia will take it from there! Best of luck with your move!

Thank you so much for your quick response, I really appreciate it. God bless y'all

Some people do have an allergic reaction/skin irritation, however I have pulled it plenty of times without gloves. Most of the toxicity is more if taken internally when not cooked properly, so you should be fine. If yours are large, the root base is probably massive and really hard to get rid of, so you may be dealing with it for years to come. When they are young, they are fairly easy to pull out by the root, but once established, I've found its easier to keep up with them by just weed whacking the sprouts every couple of weeks. Good luck!

Thank you! I do hope to do some okra videos in the next month as they really get going!

Thank you!

Glad to hear you are getting a break in the heat too! I hope your butternut squash do well! Those vine borers are the devil, although I've never had them bother my butternut squash. The feral cats have helped with the rodent problem around the chicken run. I rarely see a mouse anymore, and for a while in the fall and early spring I had a couple of rats in there that I was having an issue getting rid of, but they disappeared within a couple of weeks of the cats showing up.

Awesome! Either way works, I just have a preference for the additional smoky flavor you get from roasting.

🤣

I'm glad you found the video helpful! Thanks so much for subscribing!

Saving bean seeds totally counts! I haven't had to buy scarlet runner beans in years due to always saving a ton. Did you have any lettuce that reseeded itself and came up on its own? Most of my lettuce this year (all buttercrunch) was all from the plants bolting and reseeding. I didn't plant any this year. I have an overwintered beet as well, but the seeds still don't look mature to me yet. Its growing out of the bottom outside of one of my raised beds. I keep mowing around it, but its getting pretty bushy and starting to annoy me. lol

@@oneseedoneworld That's some pretty serious success with your scarlet runners! This year I planted my entire bed of butterbeans with saved seeds - I think I may never need to buy those again either 😁 Yes! I did actually have some volunteer lettuces from the bolted plants. I was surprised because I had dug up that entire raised bed to add some filler to the base and completely disrupted the soil. I wonder if I would have had an entire nice bed of lettuce if I hadn't had to do that. Maybe I'll get them all to just reseed this year. That would be amazing. Lol at the annoying beet 😂 mine doesn't look quite mature either. I wonder if it plans on dragging this out until fall??

Thank you! I just put a full length board up there first and marked where I needed to cut, and then used that board as a template for the rest.

Since mine is outside, I generally just do a quick spray out with the hose in each cup since the chickens will still sometimes drop some grit or dirt in there. I have also occasionally just wiped them out with a rag and about three or four times a year I take them completely off the bucket and soak them in some soapy water or vinegar/water mixture to make sure all parts are clean that I can't reach.

Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad you found it helpful!

I have some ancestors that came from Ireland as well, and I think a couple worked in textiles in Philadelphia. Thanks for sharing!

There are different varieties and the plants will range in size and flower color depending on variety and also environment. The plant I am showing in this video is Datura.

@@oneseedoneworld ok sorry been growing these for about 7 years now sorry there must be lots of varieties of them how can I consume it safely I am an experienced drug user

So sorry to hear you lost your flock. Losing pets is always so hard.

No. This disease affects chickens, turkeys and can be carried by wild birds. But doesn't affect humans.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

I keep a lid on mine to keep sunlight out, and its also in a shady area most of the day.
