Part 6/9:
Beyond peppers and herbs, the gardener discusses preparing bell peppers by slicing or dicing them before vacuum sealing. These are intended for future meals and can be stored efficiently without losing their freshness. The gardener also mentions saving vegetable scraps—like bell pepper tops and seeds—for chickens, highlighting sustainable gardening practices and farm-to-table waste reduction.
In addition, the gardener shares insights into chicken care, noting that free-range chickens are fed small amounts of scratch and sunflower seeds, especially during hot weather, to keep them comfortable and healthy. The importance of managing garden pests, such as minimizing corn eaten by chickens or wild birds, is briefly touched upon, illustrating integrated garden management.
