    Green tomato’s equals my mom’s green tomato chow. To die for!
    Green tomatoes
    Onions
    Brown sugar
    Vinegar
    Pickling spice.
    May add peppers 🫑 celery and a bit of turmeric. Can and lasts well over a year and it’s delicious with/on everything.

    Great job to Eric and Ariel for all you do. I love your enthusiasm and knowledge. I'm "older" than you both by a lot of years and enjoy seeing younger ones learning these skills. You make it look easy but I know you are working very hard at not just living a sustainable life but by sharing your experiences with all of us. We all want you to know we are impressed and encouraged by your work. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us strangers. Keep up the good work and take care of one another and may God bless you both.

    Bo is so handsome! Thanks for the big smile and giggle. Give him a hug from me.♥️
    My thoughts about tomatoes:
    1) Use bigger starter plants next year instead of seed.
    2) Add a small wood stove in high tunnel for the early season and cold nights.
    3) When you add house addition, include a small room for starting plants with access to heat and lots of sunshine.
    4) Were your high tunnel tomates on the south side for max sun? If not, move them there next year. Alternatively, add roll-up sides so the tomatoes have more access to fresh air and direct sun during the day.
    5) Once the fruit has set, trim back the leaves so the fruit has more access to sun.
    I am positive you guys know what you are doing. Just some ideas.
    Thanks again for your awesome videos!

    Seems like you could extend the growing season of the tomatoes inside the greenhouse as long as it is sealed up to keep the frost out. I was picking tomatoes on the vine in November one year in Michigan and they were just covered with a sheet of plastic.

    Just started the video so I'm not sure what you do with them but pickled green tomatoes are amazing! We do ours with garlic and jalapenos and it's a great way to use them at the end of the season.
    • a small handful of fresh dill, chopped
    • 8 garlic cloves, sliced
    • 2-4 jalapenos (depending on desired heat)
    • finely chopped onion
    • 2 bay leaves
    • about 20 black peppercorns
    • 2 pounds green tomatoes
    • 2 3/4 cups of water
    . 1 1/4 cup white vinegar
    • 1/4 cup kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 2 quart size mason jars, sterilized
    These are technically "quickles" but we have canned them and they keep great!

    You might consider shorter maturity tomatoes.I don't grow anything with maturity over 60-65 days. These varieties work well up here. Sun Gold Hybrid (57 days), Stupice (52), Early Girl hybrid (57), Bush Early Girl (54), 42 Day Tomato (42), Red Robin (55) and Tumbler Hybrid (45). And in full sun, the Stupice will grow outdoors. Good luck next year.

    Now that's a serious dinner! Beautiful mushrooms wirh the fresh garlic and onions, and the moose looks very lean. My kind of meal.

    Have you guys thought about adding on a little to the tiny house? Just enough for a little inside storage or even like a grow/storage space

    Today in Wisconsin I also picked tomatoes to ripen inside, and mushroom finds included elm oysters and Grifola Frondosa (hen of the woods). Love this time of year, but there is always so much to do! Thanks for the garlic planting video. I'm going to try planting some in my garden the fall. You are good inspiration. Watching this was a good break, now I'm off to preserve my pepper bounty...

    I totally enjoy your channel. We live in Michigan, and also try to grow, forage, repurpose and reuse as much as possible.

    Have you ever dehydrated your vegatables? That would save on the jars and lids, and possibly the storage. Eric is so handy I am surprised that he hasn't thought of adding on a pantry off of the kitchen.
    I so enjoy your videos. You two are such hard workers! Stay safe!

      A pantry would be great, also an area where they could dry most the herbs 🌿. Would love a garden like yours!! Not too sure about Alaska tbough.

    you have awesome raised beds. I only like large cloves for roasting. Marino is a nice hardneck variety that can be almost as large as Music, at least in my garden (zone 4b). Please be careful with the straw dust in the chickweed barn...”Farmer’s Lung” Helped to kill my farmer uncle.

    I seriously love the title of this vid...truth be told that a lot of folks have no clue about where food truly comes from. Food IS life no doubt. Add some basil and mint to your tea mixes, variety is the spice of life, right?! Roast the onions with the tomatillos too! Mushrooms are such an awesome vitamin/mineral addition- plus foraging is FREE food!! You just may love that Music garlic variety, plenty of growers in the midwest have success with it. Lotsa L❤ve from IA!

    Hey, just a tip I've heard from hardcore mushroom scavengers.
    Use a wicker basket to carry the mushrooms you've already collected around with you. As you walk, the jostling of the basket will help distribute and scatter the spores for more mushrooms next season!

    Please don't put picked mushrooms in a plastic bag, try and place them in a wicker basket so the spores can spread as you carry them around the forest.

    • @papercupuniverse1
      @papercupuniverse1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Fabric will work too, just anything that will allow the spores to spread as you go. Then you’ll get more

      A mesh bag is what is recommended by leading mycologists.

      In most cases once the cap spreads and the ribs show the spore's drop in a day or two.

      Mushrooms need a gas exchange, depending on the mushrooms I prefer mesh or a basket for harvesting and store in a paper bag in cool temperatures. Love the channel.
