  • Spring is on the horizon with longer days, warmer temperatures and snow beginning to melt. We get to work bringing snow into the high tunnel to provide moisture to the garden rows this spring. The bees are still in great shape and should have enough food stores left for the remaining winter.
    We head indoors and work on processing our garlic, pickling a batch of eggs and show you how to make soft, fluffy dinner rolls. Then it's finally time to start our annual vegetable and flower seeds.
    Dinner Rolls -
    2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
    1/4 cup warm water (95°F to 115°F)
    1 cup warm milk
    2 tbs coconut oil
    2 eggs
    1 tbs honey
    1 tsp kosher salt
    4 cups all purpose or bread flour
    Pickled Egg Brine -
    2 1/4 cups white distilled vinegar
    2 cups water
    2 tbs sugar
    1 tbs kosher salt
    spices as desired
    *brine will cover approximately 2 dozen hard boiled eggs

    Spring is here as well. Upper 60s all this week! Snow gives you that nitrogen that your not getting in there from not being rained on. Once the soil thaws it will absorbe that nitrogen and help plants grow better! Might want to do it again if you have snow left once this batch melts into the soil!

    My bunny refused to eat the sunflower 🌻 seeds from his box of treats. I was able to germinate them and transplant to my garden. On January 18th they were 4 ft tall with multiple flowers. I started romaine lettuce for him as well several weeks ago. I kept one on my lanai and it is now ready to harvest. I guess I don't need to transplant everything. We now have 12 hours of light. We live on Oahu.🏝🌋🌊

    So I just wanted to let you know my daughter got a kidney. With the grace of God, He has blessed us with all the doctors and nurses that have been helping her. We have been staying at the Fisher House at Walter Reed since February 3, 2022. Once she is on track and safe to go home I am gonna get my butt to work with my garden this year. I missed it last year due to rotator cuff surgery and man that recovery was pretty long. Watching you and your passion for gardening, with your husband getting things ready for the short summer keeps me going. Especially suck here just hoping to start my seeds, when I get to go home. Thank you so much for your videos.

    Hi, I am from the UK so we don’t get a lot of snow the winter so far we haven’t had any. Today I was in my back yard doing a bit of a clean up ready to plant up my flower tubs and bordered. My husband is in charge of the fruit and vegetables in the 3 plots of land we rent which is a common thing in the uk - to rent an allotment the rent is only £5 per plot per year so nothing at all. It is where we keep our hens and my husbands greatest love- pigeons!!! Thank you for sharing your time with us.x

    It’s always so interesting to see seasonal differences! In Tennessee where I live, things are blooming, and I have kale, bok choi, cabbage, broccoli, Swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, and arugula currently in my garden growing. I just started summer crops indoors. I did have to put some low hoops and plastic over them when we got a 20°F night recently, but they should be good to go! My lettuce and bok choi are really close to harvest!

    I have been so inspired by your growing videos...I started with an herb garden many years ago, and in watching you two, I branched out in my tiny space (I rent an apartment in the Boston suburbs) and last year my brother built me 3 giant raised beds where I grew almost everything I needed to make tomato sauce and salsa. The one thing I hadn't tried to grow before is garlic, which I planted last fall and am hoping I'll see start to come up as it warms up over the next month or so. If that comes in, I'll have everything I need for two of my favorite foods, so fingers crossed!

      have you tried making aun dried tomatoes? its really simple it just takes time.
      cut tomatoes in half or four depends on the size, then sprinkle salt on them, and leave them on the sun or dehydrate them for 8 hours at 175
      after they are dry, boil them in white vinegar for a minute and strain, put on a paper towel to dry again.
      after they are dry, put them in a mason jar and put some minced garlic in, some black pepper and top them with olive oil.
      let them rest for a week.

    I have been watching your videos back to back and rewatching them. I am going to be trying to be more conscious and more frugal this year and this has to be one of the top channels here in my opinion. I don’t remember if you two already do this but I’ve found that if you mix both flowers and vegetables together they grow better and bees seem to pollinate better. Ive seen more bees last year than previous years. Waiting till it gets a bit warmer before I really start to get the seedlings outside. Growing everything that my garden can possibly hold. I have a feeling that I might have to use pots for some of them.

    Love your channel, the pickled eggs brought back memories of my childhood in Louisiana, momma would boil dozens of eggs for Easter, we would dye them all different colors, and have egg knocking contests on Easter Sunday, (it was a blast). All of the leftover eggs were peeled, then pickled, the dye would manage to soak through, so the pickled egg jars were multi-colored in the pantry. Keep up the great videos guys.

    Really amazing how many things you two have going; bee hives, veggie and flower garden, wood chopping, clearing snow, making honey, canning, fishing, hunting, processing the meat. I'm sure there's more. You're both very talented and ambitious. Then there's your vacation cabin. Busy and productive lifestyle. Always enjoy your videos. Take care and stay safe.

    Have you ever looked into using the natural occurring heat from compost to keep your chickens and your high tunnel warmed? Ive seen people use their chicken yard as a compost factory of sorts, and the amount of compost is enough to be really warm and warm up the chickens in colder seasons.

    • @ab7567
      @ab7567 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I wonder if their compost is too frozen for that? That sounds like a super cool utilization of the heat though, what kind of set up have you seen?

      @@ab7567 look up the channel ediblesacres for their chicken compost. They do a lot of compost production but in a really cool way. I have seen other places, but they are the main place i go to for compost. They use the compost in a high tunnel as a place for their chickens to go in winter to find food but also be warm

    Exciting times when you can start seeds! You can give onions a trim on top if they get too tall. Also, rhubarb multiplies as it matures... you could get a super abundant amount in a few years, maybe enough to give to friends & neighbours

    I'm always so excited about spring. I have sown seed every year for well over thirteen years. This summer I moved to a place where I have my own garden for the first time in my adult life. After only having containers on terraces and verandas I'm super stoked to have this opportunity. I'm going to change half of my lawn into producing food and finally, I can grow purely decorative plants too. So many firsts for me: My own compost heap, lawncare, trimming a hedge. I'm in Norway zone 4 so I'm excited to see the abundance you two grow for yourself in Alaska. I get so inspired by watching this!

    I have planted a LOT of seeds this year. First time I’ve started so many. This is my first year to attempt artichokes. Mine are up and looking good so far (zone 5b). I have onions, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and celery up.. most are doing pretty good, but the celery (tall Utah) is still quite small. I guess I need to get them outside because they seem to be at nearly a standstill. I’m looking forward to this gardening year..

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but an idea for extra garlic and now that you have honey from the bee's is to do is what is called "100 year garlic in honey." It is a fermenting process, but is great for immunity support. I very much enjoy watching your Alaskan Adventure.

    Hey guys. I love watching your channel and really enjoy your content. A little tip for you when you are planting seeds... when you full your seedling tray, before you add your seeds just use another empty seed tray and place on top of the filled tray and press down to create your wells for the seeds. just makes it that little bit easier to make sure the seeds end up in the wells of the tray. Have a great spring... as for me we have just started Fall here in tasmania.
