is it hot water and salt? or cold water? or do you dilute the salt in hot then add cold?
I LOVE your sweet spirit, Jess, and how you are always lifting up those around you.
Can you include the brine recipe? assume i know nothing.
I think that because we as consumers expect picture perfect produce in our stores, these expectations play a role in the brokenness of the food system. It’s ok to have an imperfect looking apple that isn’t polished and shiny with wax. A salt water or vinegar water soak will make your produce last longer.
Hi! Thank you for your amazing videos! This is my first garden in years & I'm learning a lot. I was given some random plants in the spring (a lot of them for pollinators) & the person giving them to me did not plant them, so didn't know what everything was. Can you please tell me the name of the plant at the beginning of the video? I have a couple like that & don't know what they are.
You should try canning pickled eggs!
I have a dr. Seuss cook book. It’s my favorite one I have. The recipes are strange but strangely delicious. I haven’t tried them all of course but it’s a fun cookbook. I don’t have kids this cookbook is for me lol
7:52 the Spock bust next to the sink really geeked me out XD
Once upon a sprig of store bought basil on my table for a couple days and when I finally needed it, all the leaves were gone and there was a big happy caterpillar in the box. We didn't have basil but we had a good laugh about it. I get a lot of weird looks when I talk about bugs on my veggies. I've really found it to be endearing that my veggies have dirt and insects on them when I collect them because I know my garden is organic and I'm supporting the ecosystem around me. It's no big deal for me cause I just wash it when I bring it home (and tbh if there's a bug or two left in there, what I don't know can't hurt me!). So people can judge all they want but at the end of the day my dirty, buggy veggies nourish me and my family all the same.
That's a great way to think about things Jess! (the bugs being on your veggies = your veggies are healthy)
Those eggs are so pretty!
This is so accurate
I've moved to pulling a carrot straight from the ground, giving it a shake and eating. When I offer them to others I get looked at like I'm mental
Hey Jesse, Here in Humboldt county we have Banana slugs which are bright yellow and 4-6 Inches long. I use beer traps which works like a dream. Cheap beer is fine as they don't seem to care.
Save all your eggshells, rinse them, let them dry and crunch them up a bit. Spread them on top of your garden and your slugs won't come there.
Even buying good from grocery store produce i wash it all up good as you dont know how well it was cleaned or who an how it was cared for when picked.
When my (former farm boy) grandpa was still alive and would find a bug in produce he would always shrug and say "It's alright, he don't eat much."
If there is a vid where you plant beets. I have no luck and like carrots the seeds are so small. I blow it and end up eating tiny beets. Which are still lovely.
Great salt water idea. We suffer with slugs..they break my heart!! I am trying different things.
Miss Jess thank you so much for being brave enough to say that because you really truly do have to ask yourself it's not a Hydroponics that they grew up with and even still then they have some bucks how the heck did they make it look like that you know they had to spray pesticides on that I don't buy anything out of the store anymore like that God bless you from my family to yours thank you so much
This looks gorgeous! I must try!
Can I spray my plants with salt water (while they are in the ground) to get rid of slugs?
What’s the science behind not doing it while the plant is alive…. I haven’t heard anyone talk about that.
Is salt bad for the soil?
Thank you!
What makes me the saddest about grocery store produce being so uniform looking is the fact that all the non-uniform stuff probably got thrown away…
I had a slug crawling up the side of my bowl at work the other day. The salad was all from my garden, and I had washed it. I almost showed it to my coworker, but decided it would gross her out. I'm not grossed out by food from the garden, bugs and all…….but restaurant food is getting harder and harder for me to eat. I'm about to harvest broccoli, and I am gonna soak it in salt water.
My kids have started walking around in their soft blankets lately. Must be a boy thing
one of my favorite videos
I've had gem lettuces from supermarkets that have had bugs in them. Found my fair share of slugs and caterpillars in the packaging. I just pick the lil suckers off and chuck them out in the garden, Then obviously rinse off the lettuce. No biggie 🙂
Could I can with this recipe?
