    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. :)

    😊 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.

    • @UAFExtension
      @UAFExtension 9 місяців тому

      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.

      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.
