My dad, who taught me how to garden, always said, “ you can get more out of a crooked row than a straight one.”

I ❤️ your channel.! I was wondering where is Adam's garden?? With the straight rows. I would love to see how well straight rows grow as compared to crooked rows?.? 🤔 sheesh

Nothing better than grabbing a couple jars from the Pantry & creating a meal

To keep those lovely pretzels from burning, maybe try an insulated baking sheet? It is actually my favorite "cheat" when making cookies. Excellent job, momma!

That outside summer kitchen will be a blessing. My German Russian family always had a summer kitchen. Bake bread. All you need now is it oven. I have seen on KZread how to build a outdoor oven. The man name is Townsend. Things for colonial times. A great educational project for the children.

We do pretzel bites instead for less work but our recipe boils in baking soda water. It is really easy to do with a quick flip or dunk to cook the dough. Then you bake and the recipe calls for melted butter and then the coarse salt but you could easily do water or any other oil lightly to stick the salt. I hope he finds a pretzel recipe he likes but ours is from Dine & Dish. We use the bread machine but probably easy to find one by hand or mixer.

Happy Easter! HE is risen! Blessings

He is such an inspiration for those young and old searching for the dreams of baking. It’s a beautiful thing to see a young one with so much interest in a lost life skill. It’s unfortunate that such a requirement for life isn’t being taught in so many homes. I hope he continues to chase that dream.

There's my Ohio neighbor. Good to see ya. All 9 of ya. Peace to you

Had a small garden with my neighbor and he would measure but not me.Guess what they all tasted the same.Once everything started growing you could not tell if they were straight or not.

I'm a new subscriber. Just wanted to say I love your wholesome content. We have similar family goals - love the Lord, homeschool, and gardening. Also your voice is very soothing to listen to. Blessings to you!

Greetings from Germany - the home of Pretzels. As far as I know, the water with the dissolved Soda must be nearly boiling hot. And the shaped dough should swim in it for round about 30 - 60 seconds. Have agreat Easter!

I think your channel should be essential viewing for young couples starting their lives together ...your home economics, organization skills, and parenting skills are amazing!

HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HALLELUJAH

I'm amazed that all the your kids are eating so healthy!

My d ad always told me my crooked rows made it harder for the bugs to find.

Well darn you did such a good job showing how easy that propane stove was to set up it's sold out lol. Anna In Ohio

David may I suggest using baking soda in boiling water to get that darker color and pretzel taste. Just don't add baking soda to boiling water as it makes a volcano mess on your stove. I have been cooking and baking for 50 years and I still make mistakes!!! Lol. I tie my pretzels into a knot and use a slotted spoon to add and flip the dough in the boiling water. You can also make pretzel buns for hamburgers in this way and they are yummy. Wishing your family a blessed Easter!!

You look so young in your garden clothes and the cap...like one of the kids! Great video

We live in western NC no central heat/air (we do have a window unit AC that is just enough to help keep the edge off on super hot days). We set up an outside kitchen a couple years ago on our deck. We've added a 2 burner camp stove this year, similar to your 3 burner, mainly for canning. Best thing we ever did was set up that kitchen! Baking and canning are great hands on learning tools for chemistry, math/fractions and cooking/baking life skills. Great job, mom!

Blessed Easter

Not sure if someone has already said this, but when I make pretzels, I put them in boiling water with lots of baking soda for about thirty seconds and brush them with butter (or oil in your case) that seems to brown them nicely.

Did not know that about the luffa & how you can grow it! Did not know that you can grow radishes earlier & did not know about harding off! I am learning so much from you! Ty!🤗

He Has Risen - HALLELUYAH

I hope your family has a blessed Easter ✝️. He is risen.

Awww Jess Thank you for just being you and not letting anything change what you share with us "no put ons" that last shot of you and baby boy brought tears to my eyes. Gos bless you my sister in our brother the King 🤴!

A beautiful video, especially the final few moments.

Last comment, I swear. I just love that shot of you with your sweet little boy. You are so beautiful inside and out! Thank you for these videos and for letting us into your family's daily life.

Happy Easter to your Family. Praise be to God… He has Risen! Love your videos. They have been an inspiration and a joy to watch.🥰

Wonderful video! For Gabe’s pretzels-an egg wash then sprinkle the salt on, that works wonderful. When my girls and I have made them, the one recipe we follow calls for us to put them in boiling soda water. Then we pull out, place on parchment paper, brush with egg wash and top with coarse salt. We are getting another snow storm. 2 weeks ago we were a muddy mess, now have 18+ inches on the ground.

That outdoor kitchen is awesome. What a wonderful idea, now you won't be heating up your house canning/cooking this summer!

My mom would always make crocked rows(she spread those genetics to me😆). One of my grandparents told her that more seeds fit in a crocked row!!

Happy Easter! Alleluia!

I like putting curry powder and garlic in my butternut squash soup.

Hello! I've been watching your videos for several years now. I love growing, canning, dehydrating our own food. I will be getting chickens in about 5 weeks, which I'm very excited about. I want you and your family to know how inspiring you all have been to me, thank you, and God Bless you all. Betsy Williams, Catawba Island, Ohio.

I love how creative you are with your home-canned food. This is what I watch for. I would never have thought of that soup. What a great idea. Thank you 🙏🏼

David is 10 times a better baker than me. I keep trying to master bread baking and failing. I need to learn how to make gluten-free bread. So David is great at what he does. He even encouraged the little one to try the soup. That last shot of you holding your little one, I can clearly see- he looks just like you! 100%. Love your outdoor kitchen.

Just had to comment that the cast iron griddle will change your life! I love mine and wonder how I ever got along without it. I’m so happy you have your Summer kitchen.

You all bring me such calming joy!

Candling that egg was cool to see, never seen the process before

The pretzels were beautiful!

David, American Test Kitchen has a good video for pretzels. It is good for the tutorial for making them.

I just love watching you and your videos. I feel like I am sitting and having coffee with you. You explain things wonderfully and your videos are so interesting. Love all of your videos and your lovely family. Hugs ❤️

Love the out door kitchen and we are in Michigan and ready for the wreathes to change. We are planting a garden with our 5 grandchildren for the first time . It has been many years for me sense I have done this you have been helping refresh my mind. God’s holy blessings today and every day to you and your Family.🙏✝️🐣

I've tried canning outside and I found that I had to put something up as a windshield around my cook stove and my canners it was too hard to control the temperature in the canner due to the wind cooling them off at the top it sure was an easy when we just opened a cardboard box and wrapped it around three sides of the cooktop

My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family and the family dog and the family cat is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families and their family dogs. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me an the family. 😊😊

Your videos give me joy. David is learning so much, one day he may have a bakery and be able to offer great items, including milk free for others allergic to it. Happy Easter.

Mmmm. Sometime, if you haven't before, try oven roasting radishes - either alone or on a sheet pan with assorted things.

I love your video's, you are such a gentle soul. I love your outdoor set up, I hope you get to enjoy it all very soon. Lx

I have recently discovered that I LOVE radishes! My favorite way is to enjoy them raw, sliced with a sprinkle of salt. I have sauteed them in olive oil, and roasted them in the oven as well. I have tossed the leaves with spinach leaves and beet leaves for a wonderful salad. Radishes are delicious! I have not tried them pickled yet, though.

I love it that he enjoys baking so much it’s a joy to watch him learn and your a great mama for encouraging him! Maybe he can try parchment paper or a silicone mat for oven might be good and could be reused over n over just a thought but happy baking!! plants looks awesome by the way and love your new outdoor stove

Hi Jessica, I am somewhat new to your channel. I found you through Meg at The Hollar Homestead. I have watched all your past videos over the past week or so and am really enjoying them. I love all your videos, but I think my favourite are the "real time" ones where you talk as you are doing things. I am sure they are much more work for you and I honestly don't know how you do it! The voice over ones are nice too once in a while but I much prefer the real times ones. I hope you are all feeling better !

Egg wash on the top will help the pretzels brown

Happy Resurrection Day! My pretzel recipe that I wrote down awhile back calls for cooking the pretzels in a water baking soda mixture on the stove. Might be another idea for him to try. 🙂 Can't wait to see what recipe he finds for the pretzels. Always fun to see what neat recipes he makes. Also that was a great idea for the pretzel cheese!!! I so miss dipping pretzels in cheese. I am going to have to give it a try. One of the many reason I love following is because of the great dairy free recipe ideas. Looking forward to next week's video. Have a blessed week. 🙂

Another great vlog Jessica thank you for sharing ♥️🤗🙏

I peel my garlic and put them in a jar and fill with olive oil or similar to what you do as well. I do like that you use the greens of the Garlic! I am learning!!! Thank you.

Pretzels need a stronger alkaline liquid for dipping. In Germany we use foodgrade lye. In lieu of that I had previously used a 5% lye made from drainage cleaner lye as an old baker suggested to me. Wouldn’t do that again in a hurry as there’s probably a lot of heavy metals rubbish in there but they were really yummy and exactly the taste I was looking for. In regards to shape, the ends of the dough snake are traditionally quite a bit thinner and therefore nice and crunchy.

I got a two burner cam stove last year and used it for lots of canning. I am confident you will enjoy it..

Love that little herb freezer box!

Hi! I am new to your channel and absolutely love it. I have heard Jamerrill Stewart mention you many times on her channel. I am a pastry chef and would like to offer David some guidance on his pretzel project. The soda wash probably pooled beneath the pretzels causing them to look like they were burning. I would recommend brushing the soda wash on with a pastry brush and lining the pan with parchment paper to help manage liquid. I have a dairy-free, tried and tested recipe I would like to share. ‘Amish-style soft pretzels” For the pretzels: 10.5 oz water, .33 oz fresh yeast, 12 oz bread flour, 4 oz pastry flour, .1 oz salt, .3 oz sugar. For the wash: 8 oz warm water, 1 oz baking soda, coarse salt. He will combine the ingredients using what is known as the “Straight Dough Method.” After prepping the yeast per package directions, combine all the ingredients in the mixer. This is not a dough that needs to be worked much so once the dough comes together be sure not to mix much more. After, separate the dough into 5 oz sections and form the pretzels (great shape by the way🙂). In the shaping process be sure to not overwork the dough. This dough should be fairly soft and almost pull itself into a rope, gently work as needed. Best of luck and hang in there! I love baking and dessert making!

Love all you do and that your children are all so helpful..you are an inspiration to me. I'm way past babies and little ones. I adopted 4 of my grandchildren each at birth . They are my 2nd litter as I jokingly say. They are now 20 down to the only girl just turned 16. I also have another boy here that just turned 14 he's been with us for 3 or 4 years now. I work and have property that I try to keep up on and have hopes of getting in a small garden this year. I live in a very hot part of Southern California near wine country Temecula. So I love all your gardening tips and tricks they are so helpful. Bless you and your family on this Easter weekend and always. The 3 youngest ones are getting baptized at Church today. God is so good. Thank you for your videos.

My wonderful daughters bought the 3 burner camp stove for Mother's day last year. My main use is for canning. I love it! I am going to get the griddle to go with it too. I also would like to set up a sink,which I bummed off a remodel, so that I can maybe hook up a waterhose to and wash my produce. Do the whole thing outside. That's my plan anyways. Love your channel! God bless you and yours.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!!!❤️

We too are waiting for chicks to hatch!!!!!!! So much fun!!!!!!!

He is risen!!

Great video ✌🏼 Pretzels look perfect 🫶🏼 Never knew where Luffas came from! Very cool

Super Nice, remembering my times when my kids were little

I love your home. It looks like it’s full of love and joy.

You're gonna love your out door kitchen. So glad you got it. Baby Ben look so sweet sleeping on you. Happy Easter. Be blessed.

You are amazing and a great teacher, I’ve learned so much.

Such a smart lady, God Bless you.

Heart way farms has a great pretzel recipe

You can also cook the leaves of radishes like greens. tasty. Yes, it been strange weather it rainy and cool here too day.

I so look forward to your weekly videos - a place of interest, solace, family, and friends.

A great start to my week is watching your videos while I’m trapped under my napping baby boy - to see you contact napping with baby Benji at the end warmed my heart ♥️ I hope you and your family enjoyed your Easter Sunday 🤍 Outdoor kitchen looks amazing, raised garden beds are beautiful, can’t wait to see those baby chicks hatch! 🐣

Love your outside kitchen and I'm sure you will enjoy it as well. Thank you for sharing, God's blessings to you and your family.

Happy Easter to you and your family. Love my Sunday night dose of your family. Have a lovely week with your family. I really need to try the liver powder. Such an awesome idea. I love an outdoor kitchen. I really want one. I live in the tropical North of Australia so we don't really have winter here, it's hot all year round. I would just love to cook pretty well everything outside and enjoy the beautiful nature around me so much more. I really hope you and the family love it.

One of the girls at Heartway Homestead has a recipe for pretzels that tastes good. Love the summer kitchen. That's one of my goals for this year. I need a three burner stove for canning.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest! They looked delicious! If I remember right, Julianne's recipe had them going through a water bath of some sort, and an egg yolk wash to get the shine

I just made a carrot butternut squash soup yesterday! Love having butternut squash on the shelf!

Have a wonderful Easter or Resurrection Day weekend with your family. Looks like the gardens are coming right along. Watch out for those wasabi radishes I have heard they are quite on the spicy side but I have not got to try them myself yet that was one of the things I was supposed to order this year and never did. Your outdoor kitchen looks like it will be wonderful, enjoy it I'm a little envious but I know you've worked hard and saved for it for quite some time. May God keep blessing you.

Baking is so interesting. All the chemical interactions required for the correct outcome. Good project to find out how to tweak the recipe.

Happy Easter - I could watch you every day- you are amazing!

Great video as usual 👌

that soup looks fabulous,perfect xx

Happy Easter!!

Love these little update videos

Rosemary seeds took around a month to germinate for me and I'm in a tropical climate.

Radishes are one of my favorite foods to grow. I tuck them in around bigger plants to help keep the soil cool (we're in the desert). Then I use them just little little red potatoes in stew or I roast them with garlic and other veggies.

Hey nice to meet you all thanks for sharing with us can’t wait to see the next one

Pumpkin biscotti?! Is that on a video? I would love to watch David make ANY biscotti!

I so enjoyed this video. When the kids were picking the forsythia I could almost feel that warm breeze and it makes me want warmer weather to hit us soon. Ok did I miss it or did David video the pumpkin biscotti? I love biscotti and love pumpkin. Anyways great video. 🇨🇦💝🌷

Congratulations on the outdoor kitchen!

Brush egg wash on before adding coarse salt and they will brown very nicely

Happy Easter day to you and your beautiful family!!!! Enjoy my Sunday mornings watching your videos!!! I live in Southern Utah and our weather seems to be very similar. Another few weeks till our last frost date and cannot wait for the weather to settle. Love your raised beds and outdoor kitchen!!!!! Gods blessings 🙏

Radishes are also great grilled in the oven with olive oil & salt or tossing in air fryer. Yummy! My hubby is also type “A” engineer with straight rows. I just get the seeds in and call it good!! 😊🌻

I so enjoy all your videos! Wishing you and your beautiful family a Happy Easter!

wow...all of this was fabulous!! That outdoor kitchen will be amazing!!!! Hope you had a wonderful resurrection day.......Our blessed hope!!!!!!

I always use simmered salt water n the heat allows for more puffing of the dough

Try a recipe where the baking soda mixture is boiling on the stove. The baking soda is crucial to the nice dark skin.

He is Risen!

I'm planting potatoes and onions for the first time this year. Also hoping all my varieties of tomatoes grow well so i can start canning this year for the first time 🤞

Last week, I made really great soft pretzel bites from two peas & their pod. They were dropped into boiling baking soda water then baked.
