Such a helpful video - it would be lovely to have even more details with helpful tips on growing some of these crops in cooler climates. There seems to be such little information available on growing in cooler/shorter growing seasons - The "tried and true facts" of gardening/farming in the middle of the country doesn't apply as readily to those who live in more extreme conditions. :)
Emily you are a certified badass!
Excellent video. Very well done. Step-by-step instructions very clear and helpful. Smooth flow very easy to follow. All in all, a great 5🌟 rating.
Not with a 30ft stick.
Papa was a legend!
if you have nothing to do, removing the seeds from a rose hips is for you/.
Why is this video so satisfying?😊
Would love to know more about how they keep the health of the soil in their beds. Do they till ?
Thank you so much! Very informative for new gardeners!
love the Ancient StarBerry
"promosm" 😞
Main Importance, 30%+ Increases Vit C + Enzymes
About 12 min. Putting food-grade bowl on the floor? Who does that? Bad food handling practices for sure. And she is from some kind of expert food institute? BS. Very disappointed. She lost credibility to me.
I have a draft that comes through the outlet
I love radish pods, so if a radish bolts, let it produce seed pods and try them.
As always, GREAT job!!! Thank you.
How does she keep the water from freezing?

-The rainwater catchment system is only used in the summer months. You’d need to take down the gutters in the winter.
@@UAFExtension thank you
They’re ugly and they are a problem.. thanks for making this informative video.. I wish natural pesticides could be used but sadly you have to go chemical:(
You would want to drain the water for winter/turn rain barrels over.
Thank you for the informative videos! I live in Minnesota, but have found many of your videos helpful in our similarly cool climate.
Awesome! Glad they're helpful!
Most helpful. Thank you very much!
I was hoping to have more info to heat it.
This is a helpful resource for heating your greenhouse in a variety of ways (besides just biomass). cchrc.org/biomass-greenhouse-handbook/
😊 when you pick up your hens, cup your hands around their wings. This way they can't flap them and they calm down. Then hold them close to you , then with the freedom hand you can pet them. One of them Even jumps on my lap and will fall asleep when I pet her, my , my clara bell 😊. Thank you for your advice. Most say that hens don't need heat, but frostbite is so painful and the hens need our care. Agape love ❤️
Great video and presentation! One thing: I've heard this "metal" stainless steel stuff before that it can interfere in fermenting. I don't think there's anything too it. It's used extensively in the beer and winemaking community and their entire business is controlled consistent fermentation. It's preferred over glass or other things which are more porous thus more susceptible to infection and oxygen ingress.
I live in the Kenai Peninsula…do you have agricultural information for me down in the Nikiski area
You can contact our agriculture agent in Soldotna, Casey Matney. camatney@alaska.edu; 907-262-3443
What type of jackleg? Atlas copco?
MAPTS uses Gardner Denver Jacklegs.
Thankyou for sharing this valuable video. I learned how to gardeninng better.
Awesome!
So much good information. Watching this with my kids as part of their homeschool as we have some rose hips in the garden and the kids wanted to make tea with them!
Isn't simmering temperature going to kill all the probiotics ?
a cabbage that i bought in the market is not safe can we wash it before beginning the process? most of the vedio in making saurcraut not washing it
She said they were native to Alaska, but I thought they are invasive. Or am I misunderstanding the terms.
This was so informative, thank you!
Where can I get a canner like that one ?
I haven't been able to find the vital signs info on your website. Can you guide me to it?
trying them in south england, usually gets to -5 c in winter so maybe theyll survive. attempting "Tavor" variant of imperial star... but its thornless so maybe the deer will munch it 😢😢
I watched another video about this topic and apparently you can squeeze the seeds out the hip quite easily and quickly …. Much easier and faster than cutting em in half and using a knife tip!
Your teaching is great. You seem to know how to teach very well. Thank you for the information.
Fine, thank you! Can we use a whole-food sugar as well. So not the white factory refined and crystallised sugar, but eg whole cane sugar like Muscovado? Love
Yes, one could use other types of "sugar crystals". The product may not look as delicate with a larger crystal structure, the color may be different and the larger crystal may not stick as well to the flower blossoms if we are talking about sugared blossoms. Color might be different in jelly. Larger crystals may take longer to dissolve and may re-crystalize in jelly.
That's good. Thanks a lot, also for the details! Love@@UAFExtension
It's a pity this is all being read from a prompter. It's very stilted and difficult to listen to. The information is great though.
Choke cherry is what we call Aronia bush around here....
Thank you for this video, have a great week !
My goodness! I’m glad I didn’t watch this video the first time I was looking to make sauerkraut! So much talking and never gave a proper recipe 🤦🏻♂️
How about the seeds
From Leslie Shallcross: The seeds are not usually eaten because they have little irritating hairs on them and can cause digestive upset. But, Edible preparations are made of seeds, skin, and rose hip flesh. Seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids and probably carotenoids and are nutritious by those measures. If I was going to eat the seeds, I would dry them and grind them finely.
What is this machine called
The machines on the heat source are called pressure cooker/canners. The equipment for sealing the metal cans is called a can sealer.
Thank you for all your and your husband's hard work
Thank you
Great video, nice job cutting up that big squash without losing fingers!
Love your video....
