Thank you so much really needed to know what to do with all these cherry tomatoes. Who? Knew it was so simple.
well done
Love your video thank you
🤩👌🏼Incredible & Amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thx. God bless ur plants, ur family & u🪷☀️
Use an immersion blender if you need it smoother. Much safer and it’s easy
I watched another guys video that showed the bag attempt just like this and he said it not only did not work but even showed carpenter bees fling closely around it. So I just made some cheap and easy to construct bee traps using a block of wood and a jar.
@gregatkinson7276 it takes a couple days for the bees to figure out what's going on. They leave a scent behind, and if they smell it, they try to go back to that area. They now sell paper nests at big box stores that look realistic. I just like this cheap method and it's always worked for me.
What about the skin in tomatoes? Does the skin soften up? Or do i have to use a blender afterwards?
I am no expert, but you might try growing a zucchini plant in self watering containers. I grow tomatoes , sweet potatoes and some squash in the containers. The plants love having a basin of water beneath them to feed off. my squash still get slaughtered by borers though.
I am 60+ years old and just learned the other day something that probably eliminates the bugs. I asked a few local farmers when I was buying eggs what they do. They said they have no problem with insects. I live a mile from them and get annihilated by insects in my garden. The farmers both rototill the soil. Tilling the soil must just beat the larvae in the ground to death. I am going to try tilling my soil next year. After conversing with the farmers I looked up tilling and squash borers. It should at least control the bugs
@inhibited44 I till the soil twice a year. I till in the early spring, and late fall. The squash vine borers aren't a problem. It's the flying bugs that hatch from eggs. I wish you the best with your garden next year. Good luck 💜
This is my first year so when u put it in the canner do u make sure it’s hot before u let it boil for ten minutes or let the canner get hot not to a boil and set them in
@anniemomma5389 your water needs to come to a boil before you put the jars in. Keep your water boiling at all times. It makes sure you have a perfect/safe jar of food.
@@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead thank u for ur help 🫶
Glad I found your site snd subscribed. I have a jar of Ball citric acid for tomatoes powder, which would be safe, right? Can stewed tomatoes with peppers and onion be waterbath canned? In the 70's I waterbath canned but have been nervous sbout it lately. Thank you so much
Deer hate smell of rotten eggs so put your half egg shells around you garden, raised beds or wherever deer tend to come to...thankfully you can't smell it.
that's interesting. Deer love my tomatoes. I have a compost pile full of egg shells and it stinks.
For what you paid for the bag of soil and fertilizer you could of bought 5 or 6 more heads of cabbage
Question. Wouldn’t rubbing them off just let them hatch somewhere else? I’ve always thought you have to remove the leaf and BURN THEM!!
@926kissthis the way the eggs are layer, the bottoms are open. So when they are rubbed off, it kills them. Plus rubbing them off kinda smashes them too.
Will lime juice work as a replacement for citric acid/lemon juice?
Use duct tape for the eggs. Takes them right off. Also, I hang my gym clothes in my garden every night after I leave the gym. The deer stay out of my garden!
How long before you can harvest?? Also, can you pull leave and use like lettuce from garden or need to pull whole head?? I live alone, only me eating so always a waste
@deborahjkelly if you want to just harvest leaves, give it time to grow 4 layers, then harvest.
@@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead 4 Layers, okay that's great!! Thank yoyu
You said Apple cider vinegar. Can you use white vinegar?
Please, please, please come back!
You are great I am 65 and just starting to be able to do some gardening with herbs, no good luck so for they not growing & the lil basil I have the leaves are light green to yellowish. Plus a rabbit has been visiting at night I guess, they are left with just the sticks lol. I was so happy I found your page. I think I will move them in a shader place they are in direct sun. Thank you from Slidell, Louisiana.
O M G I always tough this was so complicated and left my tomatoes go bad o er ripe or simply given them away but now I know what to do with them thank you very much forever tanks
@@tereval9721 You are very welcome!!!
What did you make for dinner with them?
@@1hinita I use them just like any carrot. I put these in a roast and slow cooked them
Wow.
Can you use almond milk 🤪. Also milk is expensive now
Awesome experiment
Awesome!
Why does my “home depot “ okra seeds ALWAYS produce HARD DRY okra every year???😢
@dedranneibrahim4073 you might need to pick them earlier. The smaller the okra pod, the more tender they are.
I just planted mine in a pot. We shall see how it goes
How do you use the ones with balsamic ?
You can also re-grow celery, onions, pineapple, and lettuces!
Much needed video. I was thinking of buying seeds. Thank you for sharing this.
I’m going to try this on a decanter that is cloudy that I bought.
how hard were they to remove from the wire tray? Did they stick down in the wires?
@DisneyUpBoilerUp they came off easily. There was a few little bits that stuck. But easy clean up
Messy kitchen
Tried twice my sun pickles turn white. not sure why. i used distilled water and pickling salt any suggestions.
Please provide transcript in English
What is fish fertilizer can anyone tell me
I just found your channel. I hope you make more videos soon. I’ve learned a lot from watching your older videos.
Thank you for posting this video!! This was so informative and helpful.
This is a pretty good video, BUT, suddenly at 9:18 we are doing the middle jar here with boiling water, but you did not say what the middle jar IS? What is this jar to be filled with?? Balsamic Vinegar or Apple Cider? And you never mentioned a Rosemary/Chives combination until this point either, terribly confusing. Thank you for the video though.
I grow my carrots in big pots and use paper towels to protect them.
I love learning from your videos! Do you mind saying what the organic fertilizer is that you use?
Why did you use a 1’ head space vs the usual 1/2”?
@@almirasophia7595 @almirasophia7595 When I poked the holes in the tomatoes, it releases some of the juices. You need to account for that
Thank you. Growing these for the 1st time this year and excited to make these!! Gonna go find your stir fry vod :)❤
That’s OK I’d rather have a deer and the rabbits eat my plants and fool around with that smelly crap.
Interesting solution, and it sounds like it works!
