this is gold! thankyou so so much for this!!1
You're welcome! 😊
Thanks so much for doing this!
Thanks for watching!
I found this video after spending hours and hours trying to set up something similar with inputs for every single seed variety I have, only to realize that I can only get Notion to populate one calendar entry per item in my catalogue… so any seeds like lettuce that I want to start indoors and then succession direct sow every 3 weeks following… it’s a no go. Tempted to see if your process solves this problem and a couple others I have (like wanting an inventory and customization for unique varieties… AKA I might plant different sorts of lettuces or carrots differently) but nervous!
@@britneyellingson7743 if you want to do a test run to see if it will work for what you need, let me know! You can send me a DM on IG
@ okay awesome! My biggest wish is for a system that I can input custom dates for starting indoors, direct sowing at intervals, transplanting out, hardening off, and additional sowing dates for a fall/winter planning when appropriate… and unique to variety. I want it to all populate onto a calendar so it’s all in one place unique to each variety I select to grow that season. Although I’m starting to think no digital system will do that for me the way I envision it.
Just wanted to say if you hear breathing in the background, I'm so sorry - my dog was snoozing and I didn't realize how LOUD she was breathing!
Hi please can you make a video of water bath using onions
@@angelinamafutha5027 I’ll put a pickled onions video on my list! 💚
Love your videos, love how much research you do. ❤
Oh can we get an even more in-depth video! Like does the water go to the top of the jar or submerge; when cooking the water bath. Etc ❤ I.e.
Yes! There’s also a new technique I will show this summer, a low temp pasteurization method
@@makinggardenmagic YAY! Appreciate you!
if making quart jars, should you process them longer than 10 minutes?
@@LeslieDHause yes, an additional 5 minutes (and still add another minute for each 1000ft above sea level you are :)
Thank you!
The cañning funnel is one inch headspace
I will 1,000% agree with the jar lifter, better yet I’d ENCOURAGE YOU to get one!!! I hate single-use items but it honestly makes the overall process SIGNIFICANTLY easier, and therefore that much more enjoyable!
I learned so much from your video! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
What is the red maple tree variety?
You don’t only show how good to can you are beautiful
This is exactly how I've felt. They said it would start to make sense around the third season but I'm now entering my 6th and I guess I'm a slow learner, mostly because I've tried to pack too many crops into too large of a space! But at least I now know quite a bit more than if I had taken the more conservative approach. Thanks for a great video which is encouraging as I plan my garden for 2025. I'm now looking at each crop and simplifying everything for hopefully a more productive season.
@@stephaniecrocker2494 I’m on the same journey! I am doing much the same 💚 I hope your 2025 garden is the best yet!
Thank you for this amazing resource. I've just migrated my previous Notion template data to use yours. I'm trying to understand how the succession works in your template. I like the automation, but in my case I might want to see how it works with plants I may not grow continuously. For example I grow lettuce in Spring, take a break over summer, then again in the Fall. I thought about changing the "Season" variables but want to know how that would affect the automation? SO like if I selected only spring and fall would the succession skip summer? I'm really trying to lean on the automations because I grow over 100 crops and it can get really complicated fast!
That’s a good question! I have the formula set up to reset the date three weeks in the future from whenever the “sown” box is checked - it records the date and the does the automation :) so one option could be to temporarily uncheck the “growing” box in the plant database after your last succession in spring and then recheck it for fall to start the process up again, and once you check the sown date again it will start the automation up again. You could also set up separate spring and fall lettuces and filter by season in the succession sowing box, so it doesn’t show any spring/fall crops during summer. The seasons property is only used for organization so you can adjust it as needed!
Thanks so much. These days everyone insists you need all of these tools. I just wanted to know how to do it without wasting money, you're a gem!
Hella sick🤘🏻
Just look up where I live, and I do not have a frost date "Frost Rare." I bought your tracker too.
@@GramsBlood oh nice! I’ve had customers in Florida just use early January as their “last frost” and it seems to work well for them but I know gardening in those areas can be very different, so just let me know if you prefer a refund :)
@@makinggardenmagic@makinggardenmagic Thank you, and no need for a refund. I am just starting to garden, and this is going to help me greatly.
O have 2 big bags Of peaches on my fridg,can i defrost and water bath it,??I love peach!
You could! They will probably be quite mushy because freezing breaks open the cell walls but you could try it or make jam
How long do we leave it in the water for?
Depends on what you’re making! Tested/safe recipes will always provide a processing time
How much water do u put in the pot?
One inch above the top of the jars :)

What is the ingredients for pickling spices
Usually allspice, bay leaves, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, ginger, mustard seeds, and peppercorns!
I love these so much! I subscribed!
So great! I'm just getting restarted with Notion and I promised myself that I would start simple and not add too many things, but I am probably going to buy this! I currently use Seedtime, but this honestly seems better. Thank you!
That is high praise! I hope you love it :)
Thanks for all your methods of preserving your herbs. Another way to use your herbs would be making different herb salts. Using dehydrated herbs combined with sea salt or hymilayan salt in a spice jar. I also make different herb teas and herb dipping oil. 😊
I am using these jars this year for my cranberry jam to gift to family members!
@@gracengrit3995 I’m sure they will love it!!
What variety?
This one is called Arctic Babe (white flesh), I have another one called Necta Zee (yellow flesh) :)
Do you have to harvest all nectarines at one time or do they continue to bear fruit
Pretty much all at once! I typically harvest 2-3 times over the course of two weeks
Why can’t you reuse lids? Everyone says you shouldn’t but no one says why.
The rubbery compound on the lids will have a big indent in it after being used once, and there are slight variations in where the lid sits on the glass each time you place it. So if it’s slightly off from that previous indent, it will increase the likelihood of the seal failing and ruining all your hard work :) that compound can also become brittle over time and lead to the same issues. There are companies that make reusable lids and of course anyone is free to reuse lids and just accept the risks :) thank you for the comment!
Absolutely the best advice I've heard in a long time..... THANK YOU ❤
Thank you so very much
Excuse me, you said store the jars without the ring screwed on correct? And if so, why?
Yes! That’s recommended to prevent a false seal or jar explosion, very rare but if the ring is screwed on tight and pressure happens to build up in the jar due to contamination, it makes the jar more likely to break. You can also store them with the rings on loosely if you prefer that look!
@makinggardenmagic ok I appreciate it
Nice
If you don't hear them "pop" during canning how do you kow if they sealed correctly for longer storage?
@@phumes4783 if the lid is flat, carefully lift it by the lid and shake - sometimes they seal fully in the water rather than on the countertop
@@makinggardenmagic ok - thanks. All the lids are flat.
Thanks so much for this. I just checked the prices of equipment and my heart sank. About to do my first canning 😊😊
I have just found your channel and as a beginner canner I have found your information fantastic. Hugs from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
Using Weck jars with a pressure cooker should use three clamps and a slow upcoming of the heat. I’m doing it for a while now and haven’t any problems with this. I’m still using the waterbath method as well, it just asks for a longer time of cooking and than it’s as safe as any method. We’re using weck for 124 years now in germany and it’s safe. The Weck bible, the Weck cook book is available in English also, not too expensive and a good guide for beginners.
This was super helpful! I want to get into canning but would prefer to buy the equipment in the future.
Thank you for clear explanation.
Is it necessary to add the sugar? Apples are plenty sweet for me on their own.. especially if I’m using apple cider as well. I’m just not sure it’s safe to can without the sugar.
@@meganluby7570 it is safe, you may want to adjust vinegar amounts and the flavor and longevity may be affected but it’s hard to say how much. The only thing that’s affected is long-term eating & storage quality.
I have a mini peach tree. Is it possible to graft a normal plum cutting on to the mini peach tree
@@ThinkEddiee in theory, yes! Practically I’m not very experienced with grafting so there may be some caveats I’m not aware of, but if you’re in the US a local county extension office might be able to help you with specifics
