Becky, when straining the petals you can use cheese cloth in a salad spinner, it makes it easier. I really love how talented you and your entire family are.

Only problem is, a lot of the oil is absorbed through cloth.

What a beautiful gift to give. And the fact that you grew the flowers and know where they came from is extra special. Thanks to you and your sister Sarah for showing how to make it and sharing the recipe Becky.

Hi Becky. Here early can't wait. You are the ONLY youtuber I have pressed the bell for. Ik I say it every time but it's true, I truly enjoy watching everything you do. I love your personality, your attitude and tremendous knowledge AND how you take the time to explain things. So thank you, very much appreciated 🙏 😊

During Covid lockdowns last year, I taught myself some of these recipes. I made a salve with comfrey, plantain and calendula-infused oil and gave some away as gifts last Christmas. I currently have a jar of calendula in olive oil infusing in my cupboard.

I have used Calendula to make a salve to put on the bottom of my dogs paws in winter (Upper Michigan here). Never thought to find one to make for me. Thanks.

Hi Becky! I love your videos! I'm inspired by your dedication to your homestead, and have learned so much from you! Would you mind doing a "gardening 101" video or a "things I wish I knew before I started gardening" video for some of us novices looking into picking up gardening? It's pretty overwhelming and I would love to hear you discuss your tricks, trades, and explaining what is and isn't necessary to be a successful gardener.

Watching your videos seriously make me even more excited for my family's big move. We're moving from Southern California to South East Texas. We plan on buying an acre and building a home of our own eventually. But I want my own garden, chickens, a pig, and a couple goats. I've always loved the "country" life. I never fit in living and growing up in Los Angeles County must of my life. I was told I'm weird while growing up because I was always interested and wanted to learn all I could about how things "use to be done". Learning to knit, crochet, embroidery, and sewing. Watching my grandmother who was your stereotypical 50's wife, cook and clean. All while trying to learn all I could. The fact that someone around my age is succeeding and doing exactly what I'd like to do for myself and my family is just amazing to me. I no longer feel like the odd one out. I may not get to watch them as they become available, but I do watch your videos. So thank you so much for all of your videos! You give me so much inspiration and trust in myself that this is possible for me to do as well. Thank you! 💜

I am not a homesteader, and I do not have any experience with the animals you listed. An acre seems a bit small for the numerous animals that you listed and how close they will be to your future home. Please consider researching how much land is needed for each type and number of animal. Best wishes for your future home and dreams.

Love this! Very similar to how I make mine! I use apricot seed oil and then I also add dried lavender in with the dried calendula. Works wonderful for diaper rashes!

Great idea!!

Did you consider printing out labels to add another touch of customization to the jars? Also it would let people know how old the product is because those of us who don’t have great memories would be able to reference the labels.

We call this salve 'Ouchies Balm' at our house. The Grandies go to the fridge and pull the pot of balm out to rub into their 'Ouchies'. We keep the salve in the fridge as we live in the sub tropics of Australia and it gets quite hot here.

Love this!

Can't wait to see this!!

I’ve made calendula salve before, I’m excited to try this recipe as well!

Can’t wait to try this!

Loved learning how to make this.

When making gifts, ive learned to cost the materials (including packaging) and LABOR required then compare against comparable in the retail world and my gift giving budget. Calendula are pretty easy to grow and take a lot of abuse; they are happy when watered, prolific if deadheaded, and have a very long season. This is definitely on my list for potentials as long as I'm making enough quantity to use up the supplies and materials purchased. Best yet, it is something you could make for someone scent sensitive or for a male leaving it unscented or using a man's scent/ essential oil (without the flower pedal topping of course). Thank you for this great video.

Great to see you and Sarah together again! I love when your sisters come over and help you cooking or making fun goodies!!!!

Loved this!

Thank you Becky and Sarah for sharing this information.

Thank you!!

Thank you very much!

We're definitely trying this next fall, and growing calendulas in the spring. I've used calendula cream for years but never dreamed it was so easy to make my own. We use it on everything from insect bites/stings, rashes (including poison ivy), it works great to prevent pain at injection sites (immunizations for the kiddos, insulin injections, etc). Thank so much, Becky and Sarah!

The reason I love your channel is you buy a lot of what you do in a store and show what you do with it for just 2 people. It helps. I'm not cooking 12 pll and I don't have a farm. But. You make me feel as though I can do all the things that I've always wanted to do! I also love that you are in the PNW. Really glad I found your channel!

Thank you Becky and Sarah. I grew calendula all around my yard this summer and didn’t know what to do with it. Next year I will know to dry the flowers and not throw them out.

I always enjoy your content and envy your energy! I love that your sisters have been joining you in the kitchen!

Great video thanks for sharing

I love love love your instructional videos. I used to make our soaps, lotions and salves. One of our family favorites was the soap and lotions I made with calendula. You have inspired me to get back into making them again along with some of your other ideas. I am trying to talk my husband into getting me a freeze dryer. I used to feel intimidated by the process of using one. (Not anymore) your videos on the freeze dryer are my favorite so far.

Woop woop…love all your vids..Brilliant that it’s so natural u guys..Thanks for another great vid xxx ❣️👨‍🍳🇬🇧

You are energetics and exciting to watch. Thank you for putting so much time into your videos.

Very cool! One year my sister made us all a salve and put them into chapstick containers and then in an amber pot like you're using. The one in the chapstick container was great to have in our purse to take while we were out and about. They sure didn't last long because we had a really cold and dry winter that year (lots of chapped skin for sure). You're family and friends who receive these lovely gifts are in for a treat. I've never tried the calendula but it's on the list to plant for next year. Thank you both for the idea and recipes! Be well, stay safe and God bless! 😊🌻

I've been making something similar for a few years now (mine has comfrey in it as well) and EVERYONE I gift a jar to just cant believe the healing properties of these salves. Fantastic work ladies!

Planting calendula in the garden this year to try this out!

I hope you do a video of you assembling your Christmas gift baskets.

Cant wait to try making this. Looks fabulous 🌼

This is such a great idea! My mother gave me calendula flower seeds and I was looking up how to use them before I decide to plant them. And thanks to you, they made the cut! 😊

Great info, thanks so much...

I went through all the other comment's and it's all been said. I also can't wait, love your videos, your so fun to watch😁 I think this is the first time I set the reminder I don't want to miss a thing. See ya soon🙌

I make it every year for Christmas presents, too, here in Norway.

Great video Becky!

I’ve never made a salve but I have made my own lip balm and body butter with Shea butter and almond oil or coconut oil!

💛 calendula

Grateful for ur video❤

Me: going to check out the Christmas gift playlist now..... thanks Becky, and Sarah!

This is a must! Thank you for sharing. I’m a , RN retired now, yeah!! I bought a hand lotion that I loved that had that very flower in it. I thought it had to be the flower I loved. Long story short the company from France went out of business. I can’t believe no one has produced it. I could wash my hands 5-7 times and my hands felt as if I just put lotion on. Than you so much! Your hands and nails are beautiful. I’ve alway notice them, thanks again Becky.❤🇺🇸🌼

Hi Becky, I've done it before but really got inspired when I saw your sister taking the dried calandula with her in your last video with her. I've ordered eveything the same day. I'm just waiting for my infusion to be done.. another four weeks but still in time for christmas gifts. I use lanolin also and do a vegan version of it cause I do have some vegan friends. And if I have enough infusion I'll do lip balm, too. Have a wonderful rest of you day! Love from Germany, Ramona
