Parsley and oregano come first, with an unusually good herb harvest giving More than Gardening's host a reason to linger outside. "I have never had an herb year this good," she says in "Harvesting, NEW Freeze Dryer & Making CAYENNE POWDER," the most-watched of the week's two uploads.
The Michigan garden hasn't finished producing. She checks kale, spinach and romaine in the greenhouse, then waters broccoli in covered raised beds. The other new upload, "Harvesting spinach & romaine in the fall! #harvestinglettuce #fallgarden," gives those cool-season greens their own short outing.
Back indoors, frozen homegrown cayennes become a jar of seasoning. The vlog includes a demonstration of a countertop freeze dryer sent to her by Harvest Right. She compares it with her larger machine, loads the peppers and returns more than a day later to remove their tops and blend them into powder. Her verdict is immediate: "It is spicy. The aromatics, wow."
That longer upload has drawn about 5,200 views. Across the channel, viewing was quieter than its usual daily average would suggest, while subscribers held steady. Nearby, Piney Grove Homestead had a much busier viewing week; Bonsai Heirloom's was smaller.
The strongest daily momentum here belongs to a different kitchen staple: "How to make homemade peanut butter! #peanutbutterrecipe #howtomakepeanutbutter." The new greens Short is also among the active draws. Under the cayenne vlog, meanwhile, viewers ask whether dehydrating would work too, where the greenhouse planter came from, and whether she could show the pantry or freezer. The harvest has made them curious about where it all goes.
