Oh my such a big girl Charlie...you look like a pro in the background washing the radishes. I'm fermenting radishes this morning. Thanks for sharing this video girls.
I’ve been fermenting for a couple of months, and some sort of ‘weight’ is pretty essential to hold down your veggies and keep the top of your ferment from molding. A big cabbage leaf folded up and wedged in to fit is good, glass weights are great if you have ‘em, but some people just clean up a flat-tish rock, boil it to sterilize, and set that on top. I’ve also seen people use tiny little jelly jars, which work great because as the liquid rises with the formation of carbon dioxide, it just fills the little glass jar instead of oozing out of that tiny hole in the top of your fermenter lid. Can’t wait to try the radishes! Thanks, Jill!
Hey Jill! Thank you so much for this video! I'm also new to fermenting and radishes is something my husband likes as well so, thank you for showing me the process 🤗 I also wanted to say I found your channel fairly recently and have been binge-watching your videos and I love your sweet spirit and passion. Thank you for blessing us with your videos and sharing your family and journey with us. Charlie (I mean, snow white 😉) is so sweet! She did a great job helping. Thanks again and looking forward to watching/learning from you in the future. Bless y'all!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad I can help with the process of fermentables. I'm new to it and learning so much from other channels and viewers. People like you are the reason I keep doing this. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
I made “pink pickles” , aka French breakfast radishes pickled, with my 5 year-old daughter a couple weeks ago. Watching you and your daughter took me right back to that sweet afternoon.
Ahh so sweet! I have an almost 2 year old daughter who is my garden helper and she is as obsessed as I am with going out to our garden. I've been sad that she's growing up so fast and not a baby anymore, but seeing Charlie and the fun things you're able to do with her gets me excited! Who would've thought a video about fermenting would give me goosebumps and make me tear up. :)
Awe how sweet. I loved the baby stage but being able to interact with her at this stage and share my passions with her have been a total blessing as a mother. Praying you and your daughter make lots of sweet memories together
I love Homestead and Chill. She is so sweet and definitely a great resource! I just picked up a bunch of gardening books from her recent book recommendation post.
You are such an inspiration to me to speak kindly to my kids and just get happy. I have little kids too. I want them to be involved in our farm as well.
Girl I try my hardest but let's be real, sometimes momma has had enough, lol. I do encourage you to get the kids involved. For me I know I may not get as much accomplished or as fast when the kids are involved, but I'm trying to make memories when I can. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Jill God bless you! I had such a great time with my son doing all that you are doing with Charlie! It is time that was so cherished to me because eventually they might grow out of it like my son did.
I have never tried fermented radishes before but I'm interested in trying I love pickled radishes!!😋 and I love your daughter she's so helpful and she felt like Snow White that was so adorable and then she was painting for all of us such a little sweetheart!!💞💞😍
I have some collard greens fermenting now. Also some radishes. Tonight is two weeks fir the collards and they have a very unique flavor. I’m liking them. I’m gonna let them go one more week.
You are going to love the fermented radishes! I add garlic and thyme (and peppercorn) and we all love them. One thing you might like to keep in mind though: I added dried herbs the first time I made them because I had nothing else and of course they floated at the top and anything that floats at the top will eventually get moldy, but if you eat them for Thanksgiving that‘s not a problem, they just won‘t store long outside the fridge - which ferments normally do. (Or rather, they will still store, but you might have to take the mold off the top before you take out the radishes)
Charlie is just adorable and beautiful... 😍... ... try to put a 4 oz jar inside your pickle jar to keep them under the brine... that way they won’t mold ... or some glass weights... you will be getting some tomorrow 😄😄😄😄
Mrs. Wanda I just received these. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. Can't wait to use the weights and the lids. Thanks for brightening my day!
I will definitely have to look for different radishes. I've only ever seen they typical ones that are in the stores. The dark pink ones. What type of radish did you plant?
I am wondering if I can use a coffee filter and rubber band rather than fancy lid because I have everything fresh from the garden today. What do you think?
@@WhisperingWillowFarm learn something new all the time ... our state cottage food laws requires us to use the book Fermented Vegetables by Shockey when selling ferments. For personal ferments I experiment ... just made a lemon ginger spinach kraut - recipe in listed book but got the idea from Art & Anna’s fermented Kale from their online class.
@@WhisperingWillowFarm all I have is boys Grandsons and they are 21, 17 So you girls make me so happy I love by my self and Jess and you got me started on gardening and now I'm hooked I dd not get to plant fall but I will next year because I will save me some seeds thank you for being on here Jill and Nathan and sweet babies
I meant to text "roasted" (Autocorrect or fat fingers 😁🤦♀️) I'm used to eating the little round red ones so how would they compare? I so appreciate your time to respond!
Sorry off subject but what the website to the place of getting hand made pottery was going check it out maybe get mug for mom for Christmas ive looked thru you and Jess vlogs and I know someone had post it but apparently I've not hit the right one yet??
I'm new to the world of fermenting too and I have a question... I hear about people saying to just get fermented foods in your diet, but isn't the whole point of these foods to have LIVE bacteria in it? If this is the case, then doesn't that mean that sour dough bread (that has been baked) and store-bought kimchi or sauerkraut (that had been canned) not really any better for you than regular foods? Only homemade fermented foods would give you those benefits, right? or am missing something? Thank you Jill for making this post. I BOUGHT extra radishes that were on sale to try this with because my garden sucks and I couldn't even grow radishes. Lol
First of all I love your name "The Growing Gardner" I truly believe all gardeners are continuously growing so keep it up❤ Although store bought has been canned or processed, their is still good bacteria in them. You are right about home fermented being better. In the process of fermentation, you still have to refrigerate after a certain time to kill the fermentation to prevent it from turning sour or vinegary
@@WhisperingWillowFarm Thank you for you for taking the time to answer my question in-depth and for your encouragement... I had to chuckle when I heard Jess announce the name of the course you two are offering! I'm excited for all of the new things y'all are doing. God bless you in your new endeavors!
Hey.I noticed the inside of your pot has most of its coating gone. If it was a non stick pot that’s very unhealthy to your family even if it’s just heating water....just thought I’d let you know......🤓
Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately most of our pots and pans are older. We mainly use cast iron when cooking but occasionally use the others for certain things.
Lol, she's a show stealer for sure , but I don't mind. Charlee has the most tender heart and I love teaching her the importance of preserving the harvest
Oh my such a big girl Charlie...you look like a pro in the background washing the radishes. I'm fermenting radishes this morning. Thanks for sharing this video girls.
These are precious memories you will love to rewatch when they are grown. I wish I had more pics & videos of my girls ❤️
OMG when Charlie says, " YES MAM" .... Be still my beating heart
"It makes me feel like Snow White", oh my gosh Charlie is so sweet!
Charlee really is the sweetest!
@@WhisperingWillowFarm OMSHOSHHHHH she is soooo sweet! You are an amazing mother. You are so blessed to have babies
Can't wait to harvest my radishes!!!
Didn’t grow up in the south so that “yes ma’am” was absolutely adorable.
That black and white bowl reminds of my grandmothers
You can also use a glass weight to help keep the food under the brine. I'm fermenting carrots right now. It's fun and easy!
That's a great idea, thanks for sharing. I learn just as much from you guys. Carrots are on my list to do very soon

Thank you Jill, Happy Thanksgiving to y'all too ❤
I haven’t tried fermented radishes yet, but I LOVE pickled radishes. Need to try these too, but that will have to wait till spring.
I made “pink pickles” , aka French breakfast radishes pickled, with my 5 year-old daughter a couple weeks ago. Watching you and your daughter took me right back to that sweet afternoon.
That's so great! Charlee would love "pink pickles " I love teaching her the importance of using the food we grow
Love ur lil helper
Aww thanks, she's the best❤
We love feed the big greens to the cows in back as fun snack

God bless you Richard! I really am trying to take advantage of these precious moments with my kids. I'm fearful of the day my kids lose interest.
I have never tried fermented radishes before but I'm interested in trying I love pickled radishes!!😋 and I love your daughter she's so helpful and she felt like Snow White that was so adorable and then she was painting for all of us such a little sweetheart!!💞💞😍
I believe the fermented radishes will taste very similar to the pickled. Charlee is the best little helper
@@WhisperingWillowFarm well that is awesome I will have to try it I'm kind of curious how to do it??
I have some collard greens fermenting now. Also some radishes. Tonight is two weeks fir the collards and they have a very unique flavor. I’m liking them. I’m gonna let them go one more week.
Let me know how the collards turn out. I bet Nate would love that!

That sounds really good! Thanks for the advice, I'm learning all these great tips from people like you. Keep the tips coming ❤
I’m going to have a shirt like that soon!!! Love this channel, I’ve been so blessed!!
Radishes are amazing as kimchi we have a local farmer here in Ashland Oregon that uses grated radish for theirs.
Yum that sounds really good! I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip
i was just thinking about you and your positive attitude i hope that’s not weird I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Aww thank you! God has truly blessed our family. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and happy Thanksgiving
Charlie is just adorable and beautiful... 😍... ... try to put a 4 oz jar inside your pickle jar to keep them under the brine... that way they won’t mold ... or some glass weights... you will be getting some tomorrow 😄😄😄😄

@@WhisperingWillowFarm 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Anthony wanted to help cut the turnips up so I let him put it in the pan while I chopped. He loved it.!!!
Thank you,have a great Thanks Giving, God Bless.
God bless you Mr. LaFollette! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well
There are weights to make sure your produce stays under. Or I've heard of using a cabagge leaf and a clean rock. Luv ya!!
Thanks for the tip❤
Love your Amber Thieves soap jar at the sink ... yeah YLEOs
I will definitely have to look for different radishes. I've only ever seen they typical ones that are in the stores. The dark pink ones. What type of radish did you plant?
Daikon radishes
Looks amazing.
I have a recipe just like that but it is for carrots. I cut them into spears and the kids go nuts over them. They taste just like pickles.😋
Yum that sounds really good. Carrots are next on the list
So much fun,thanks!♥️
Thank you for following our journey
I am wondering if I can use a coffee filter and rubber band rather than fancy lid because I have everything fresh from the garden today. What do you think?
I make and sell ferments at our local Farmer’s Market in rural Central Texas - all pints are $8 and quarts are $12
That's amazing Mrs. Fuller! I bet you could teach me a thing or two. I'm passionate about mastering this art

@@sharylfuller9277 thank you for those resources. God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving ❤
Yeah do circular slices that's a great idea....
You should try a delicious spicy pesto with radish greens.
Yum yum, think I'll try it
Does this recipe work for fermenting anything? I would like to try fermenting my cucamelons. :)
Never tried cucomelons but worth a shot
I would do slices like hamburger sliced pickles 😉
Did you just pull that lid out of the bag and didn't sanitize it? I hope it doesn't mess up the fermentation process for you.
Yikes I didn't realize I did it. We will find out
Charlee you are such a cute gardener
She is the best and cutest helper
@@WhisperingWillowFarm all I have is boys Grandsons and they are 21, 17 So you girls make me so happy I love by my self and Jess and you got me started on gardening and now I'm hooked I dd not get to plant fall but I will next year because I will save me some seeds thank you for being on here Jill and Nathan and sweet babies
Thank you Carol for following our journey and being a loyal friend
@@WhisperingWillowFarm 😏
😍😍😍
Excited to see how you like them 😊 you have sold me on the white icicle radishes 🤔 but what is their flavor raw? And toasted? TIA
Nathan eats them raw and loves them. This time of year he says they are milder and not as spicy
I meant to text "roasted" (Autocorrect or fat fingers 😁🤦♀️) I'm used to eating the little round red ones so how would they compare? I so appreciate your time to respond!
We haven't tried toasting these yet. Nate typically cooks them in a cast iron with carrots, green beans, and cabbage. He calls it a veggie medley 😂

Oh no worries, it is an unusual way of spelling it. We thought it would be more girly❤
I prefer long white radishes .

Should be like the light behind you. Did you make it? Oops
We actually bought the light from Amazon. I love unique things 😁
UR GIRLS ARE BEAUITFULLLL LIKE THERE MOMMA
You are too kind Mrs. Debbie, thank you
