Growing Gem Squash: Underrated Squash Variety | Best Tasting Squash! JivingGerbil 2022-02-26 | 15 tips on how to grow Gem Squash: one of the most underrated vegetables and a little-known squash variety with delicious flavour and taste!If you've never grown gem squash (aka Rolet squash, or Little Gem Rolet trailing squash) I highly recommend growing this beautiful round green squash variety. In my opinion it's one of the best tasting squash and veggies out there! Gently sweet, comforting, smooth and creamy. More moist than dry, yet not watery. It's somewhere between a winter squash and a summer squash: winter squash because of its hard skin, but a summer squash since it needs warmth and heat to really thrive and is best picked before the weather cools. I really think it's one of the best squash to eat; one of the tastiest squash for baking or boiling.Whether you're in the UK like me, in South Africa, America, Australia or anywhere else in the world, this video shows my vegetable gardening suggestions & recommendations for growing gem squash from seed, through to Cucurbita pepo seedling and to fully grown plant. You can start planting gem squash seeds at home, in pots / containers or in the ground. And as you'll see: "Can you grow gem squash in uk even outdoors?" Yes! I hope my 15 tips will be helpful to you on your growing adventure :)M E N T I O N E D L I N K S :Zucchini / Courgette Growing Guide: youtu.be/OB9JQjO_Qpo T I M E S T A M P C O N T E N T M A P:0:05 What is Gem Squash?0:39 Tip 1: Picking the right seed0:50 Gem Squash is not the same as Round Zucchini or courgettes1:15 Tip 2: Grow in warm temperatures (follow temp guide for figuring out when to plant gem squash in South Africa or any country you live in)2:56 Yields I got: how many gem squash per plant?3:14 Tip 3: Give them lots of space (pot size & how to grow squash in a container, and how to grow squash vertically)4:26 Tip 4: How long does gem squash take to grow? slower than zucchini5:13 Tip 5: Be careful of the prickly spines5:50 Tip 6: Allow horizontal growth before training upwards7:32 Tip 7: Give them something to climb8:28 Tip 8: Keep the flowers dry10:05 Tip 9: Shiny fruit means successful pollination10:40 Tip 10: Leave squash over 21 days on vine to mature for best tasting squash10:46 The Fingernail Test to check if squash is ready12:20 Tip 11: Give fruit space to descend13:00 Tip 12: Support & protect squash with slates, tiles and/or netting13:58 Tip 13a: Tips on pruning14:25 Tip 13b: Tips on watering14:35 Tip 13c Tips on fertilizing15:22 Tip 14: Understanding squash problems: what it means if baby squash goes yellow & falls off16:14 Tip 15: Cooking tips: how to make gem squash & safety taste test tipMusic Credits:- Gimme back my Ya ya by Dan Lebowitz- 5 O July by Dan Lebowitz- Parkside by Dan Lebowitz- Jerimiah's Song by Dan Lebowitz- The Gift by Reed Matthius- Coming Home by Dan Lebowitz- Glen Canyon by Dan Lebowitz- Michigan Greens by Dan Lebowitz- Surrender by Dan Lebowitz--Thanks to all the amazing gardening youtube channels for teaching me and inspiring me to grow my own food!

Growing Sunchokes /Jerusalem Artichokes in Containers or Pots JivingGerbil 2022-02-03 | Video showing the process of growing sunchokes (aka Jerusalem artichokes), from planting to cooking. The whole life cycle of the plant!We look at the journey from grocery store-bought Red Fuseau tubers, to tiny sprouts, baby plants and all the way to a full grown Jerusalem artichoke plant, grown in fabric containers. Our tallest reached 8 feet in height! This video may be useful to anyone interested in growing sunchokes in pots or containers.I've added the months and timings to give a time frame idea of when to plant your Jerusalem artichokes and what to roughly expect at different stages of growth. Here in the UK where I grew them, we plant them out in March when temperatures start to be over 10 degrees celsius (50 F). If you're elsewhere in the world like the USA, South Africa, Australia or NZ / New Zealand, optimal times for plantings may differ. The rate your plants grow at may also differ depending on amount of sun, temperature and other factors.Other names for this delicious tuber in other countries include: Helianthus tuberosus, Topinambur, topinambour, 예루살렘 아 티 초 크, jordskokk i Jerusalem, Alcachofra de jerusalem, jordärtskocka, 菊芋，洋姜，耶路撒冷洋蓟, القدس الخرشوف, Csicsóka, Jerúsalem ætiþistli, エルサレムアーティチョーク, کنگر اورشلیم, słonecznik bulwiasty, ਯਰੂਸ਼ਲਮ ਆਰਟੀਚੋਕ, Иерусалимский артишок, anghinare de la Ierusalim, เยรูซาเล็มอาติโช๊ค, yerelması- - For gardening fans, urban farmers, grow your own growers, allotment holders, vegetable gardeners, vegetarians, veggie fans & foodies, I hope you found this video helpful!

Happy Hanukkah! Candles Timelapse - Menorah Chanukkah Greeting E Card JivingGerbil 2020-12-19 | A fun, festive little ecard to send on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah showing a menorah (aka a hanukia or chanukia) speeded up candle-burning time lapse in reverse! A twist on the happy Chanukkah tradition of the candles burning down - Just to give a little sense of the Hanukah miracle of light :)Apologies for mis-spelling Happy Hanukkah (חנוכה שמח) as Hannukah - whoops! Hopefully the merry & bright, good vibes of the message is the most important thing that comes across for the celebration of this festival within Judaism :)I thought this sped up candle timelapse could make a nice digital greeting card message or ecard that you can send to friends and family for sending Hanukkah blessings & wishes for a Chag Sameach (חג שמח ), full of love & light. Although the menora shows 8 candles, it can work as a message to send on the festival of lights on any of the days of Chanukah.- - -הנה סרטון וידאו משעשע וקטן הקליפ מרא נרות חנוכיה - הדלקת נרות ברוורס (חלוף זמן/ זמן לשגות) - לחגיגת חג האורות: חג החנוכה- - -Music Credits: The Hanukkah music used here is the well-known traditional Hanukkah song: "I Have a Little Dreidel" (Instrumental) by E's Jammy Jams(Lyrics to this song: I Have a Little Dreidel I made it out of Clay, And when it's dry and ready Then, dreidel I shall play!Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidelI made it out of clayAnd when it's dry and readyThen, dreidel I will play.)
Amalfi to Positano Ferry ride, Amalfi Coast, Italy JivingGerbil 2019-10-10 | Video of the morning ferry ride from Amalfi to Positano on the Italian Amalfi Coast in South Italy, on a cool, cloudy, windy Spring day in May.Departing from Amalfi port, the journey was quite varied because of the weather which meant we had both pretty sunny moments as well as choppy boat rocking waves which lead to super-minor sea sickness / motion sickness, and a mild soaking from the ocean waves & sea spray. It was an interesting boat ride!In this video you will see the coastal views, the lush green mountains, some caves, a fort, and the beautiful turquoise color of the sea water as we approached the dramatic village/ little town of Positano and docked in its harbor.I incorporated some footage from the journey from Positano to Amalfi on the ferry back to Amalfi in the late afternoon so if you see some sudden changes in the light from clip to clip, changing from bright morning light to a golden afternoon light - that would be why!- - -Music Credits:- Melissa by Eveningland- Flames by Dan Henig

Capri: Walk to Belvedere di Tragara & La Fontelina JivingGerbil 2019-09-19 | Walk to Belvedere di Tragara & La FontelinaBelvedere di Tragara is a viewpoint in Capri that's a 15 minute easy, flat, relaxing walk from the centre of the town of Capri. In this "tourist sights & attractions of Capri" Italy trip video we visit Via Tragara, walking the trail to the lookout point which overlooks the views on the South shore of Capri island.After taking in the scenery at Belvedere Tragara balcony's scenic vantage point view, we continue our little hike path amidst tropical plants, cactus plants and trees, for a further 300m. We descend the rocky cliffs, down lots of steps and stairs in the direction of Isole Faraglioni (aka i Faraglioni, the natural arch) and the blue sea, to the famous private beach club restaurant, La Fontelina for lunch, where dramatic crashing waves provided a dynamic soundtrack to our pasta meal.Thanks to Alex and Mimi Ikonn for recommending La Fontelina in their vlogs. We wouldn't have discovered it otherwise, and it was definitely the best meal we had out of the 5 meals we had on Capri.- - -Music Credits:Mi Borinquen by Doug Maxwell and Jimmy FontanezFender Bender by Bad SnacksUrban Lullaby by Jimmy Fontanez and Doug Maxwell

A Day in Sorrento - Off-season in May JivingGerbil 2019-09-14 | A video of our day trip to Sorrento, Italy, on a cool rainy grey day in May.It was off season and a little gray and cold weather-wise so not very busy on the beaches or in some on the streets. It seems April showers do not end in April!

Marina Grande, Sorrento, Italy - Off-season in May JivingGerbil 2019-09-13 | Our visit to Marina Grande harbor & beach in Sorrento Italy on a grey, cloudy day in May, off-season.The sea / ocean water was too cold to swim in so the Antico Borgo Marinaro beach & harbour was pretty much empty on this Italian volcanic sandy beach on the Sorrentine peninsula near Mount Vesuvius. Marine Grande is Sorrento's original fishing village and you can sometimes see fishermen and their boats on the pier or around the port. It's quiet, picturesque, quaint & charming.If you're in Sorrento off season, in winter or early Spring, I'd say it's still worth visiting here even if you can't swim in the cool water. The pretty colorful houses and the calm, peaceful atmosphere make for a nice place to go for a morning walk or an afternoon stroll. Apparently there are some good seafood restaurants in Marina Grande too.- - -Music Credits:Escape by Eveningland

Top 5 Gelato Shops in Amalfi Coast, Sorrento & Capri, Italy JivingGerbil 2019-07-15 | Looking for the Best Gelato Shops in Sorrento, Capri & on the Amalfi Coast? We visited a ton of ice cream shops over our 10 days trip in this region of Italy. Here are our Top 5 Gelato stops in this region of Italy!Areas we covered on our best gelato ever search included Sorrento, the Sorrentine peninsula, Capri island, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and much of the Amalfi Coast.We conducted our search by doing a gelato crawl throughout this area, trying out the top most recommended places on tripadvisor in each place we visited. We then ranked them according to our own personal favorites to give your our own gelato recommendations. Surprisingly, sometimes the top recommendations on tripadvisor were not our favourites in some places and sometimes we liked the 3rd or even 6th best recommended place better. Goes to show, it's worth giving several places a try!Ice cream shops featured here (in no particular order - no spoilers here!) are: Baffone in Ravello, Raki in Sorrento, Davide il Gelato in Sorrento, Buonocore in Capri, Andrea Pansa in Amalfi.A great video for foodie tourists & travelers / food travellers with a sweet tooth, looking for amazing gelati.- - -Other Notes:This video is 100% just made for fun :) It's not sponsored in any way, and is not made in association with any gelato shop at all. Oh also: In Raki I wrote it was peanut and chocolate in the cup. It was actually peanut flavor, and tiramisu flavour shown in that cup there. Oops! I did try their chocolate on another day though and it was good too!---CREDITS:With filming credits & thanks:To Barrie Crampton who let me to use his footage of Gelato il Davide for this video.

Monte Solaro Chairlift on a Cloudy day - Anacapri, Capri Island, Italy JivingGerbil 2019-07-01 | Is it worth going up the Monte Solaro chairlift on a cloudy day? Watch the video and hopefully it'll help you decide. We only had a limited time in Anacapri & Capri, so with no option to wait for a nicer, brighter day, we decided to go and try to enjoy what we could despite a grey day. Despite the wintery rain clouds and occasionally rainy showery gray skies, we still had an enjoyable time. This video features the Monte Solaro Chair Lift, or as it's called in Italian, the Seggiovia: The journey up, some clips of the foggy cloudy view and then the way back down again. If you're wondering whether to go up Monte Solaro even if the weather isn't perfect, I'd say, a sunny day with clear blue skies is definitely preferable for a nice from view from the top, but if you don't have a choice like us, the chairlift ride is still fun and even if the visibility isn't great from the top, you can still enjoy the amusement ride factor of the old-fashioned one person seat chair lift.This video is great for anyone looking for a video of: Telesilla Monte Solaro, Capri, Italia, Télésiège Italie, Sesselbahn Italien, Кресельный подъемник Monte Solaro, Капри, Италия, 카프리, 이탈리아, 升降椅，卡普里岛，意大利, , チェアリフト、カプリ島、イタリア, or מונטה סולארו יו"ר כסא, קאפרי, איטליה, - - -Music credits:- Retro by Wayne Jones- Snack Time by The Green Orbs- Take your Pick by Aaron Liberman- Fargo by RiotAll from the Youtube AudioLibrary- - -More Credits: Thanks to Google Maps & Google Earth satellite view (& OBS screen capture technology) for the map views :)

Coastal Italy Hiking: Monte San Costanzo & Capri Views: Bella Italia! JivingGerbil 2019-06-19 | In the spring time in May 2019 we visited Massa Lubrense on the Sorrento Peninsula in South Italy and did this beautiful Italian Hiking trail between Monte Croce, Monte San Costanzo and Chiesa San Costanzo (the little white San Costanzo church).The easy and short Coastal Italy hike we did is part of a much larger Italy hiking trail called the Termini hike, or the even larger Athena Trail which is a a loop circuit connecting Punta Campanella to Monte San Costanzo.We did the easy way, taking the car, driving to the top of the little mountain, and doing a beginner level hike from there through some gorgeous South Italian nature in the spring time with tons of spring wild flowers including poppies. Tiny flower fields: South Italy nature at its best! From Monte Croce there were also gorgeous Capri views - it's a fantastic view-point to see the whole of Capri island with an unobstructed view.I'd highly recommend doing this walk if you're in the Sorrento / Positano / Amalfi Coast / Gulf of Naples / Gulf of Salerno area in the Spring months. With all those flowers out, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Highly recommended.This video may be of interest to anyone looking for:- most beautiful places in the world- most beautiful views in the world- italy most beautiful places- italy most beautiful country- italy most beautiful regions- prettiest places in the world- - -In Italiano:In primavera, nel maggio 2019, visitammo Massa Lubrense sulla Penisola Sorrentina in Sud Italia e facemmo questo bellissimo sentiero escursionistico italiano tra Monte Croce, Monte San Costanzo e Chiesa San Costanzo (la piccola chiesa bianca di S Costanzo).La facile e breve escursione costiera dell'Italia che abbiamo fatto è parte di un sentiero escursionistico italiano molto più grande chiamato l'escursione Termini, o il più grande Athena Trail che è un circuito ad anello che collega Punta Campanella al Monte San Costanzo.Abbiamo fatto il modo facile, prendendo la macchina, guidando verso la cima della piccola montagna, e facendo una passeggiata di livello per principianti da lì attraverso una splendida natura italiana in primavera con tonnellate di fiori selvatici primaverili tra cui i papaveri. Piccoli campi di fiori: la natura italiana al suo meglio! Da Monte Croce ci sono anche splendidi scorci di Capri: è un fantastico punto panoramico per vedere l'intera isola di Capri con una vista senza ostacoli.Consiglio vivamente di fare questa passeggiata se vi trovate nella zona di Sorrento / Positano / Costiera Amalfitana / Golfo di Napoli / Golfo di Salerno nei mesi primaverili.

Italy Food Tour: Lemon Groves, Olive Oil, How to make Cheese & Pizza JivingGerbil 2019-05-27 | In May 2019 we visited Massa Lubrense, an area in South Italy near Sorrento & Naples. We took the 5 hour "Agriturismo il Turuziello Enogastronomic Tour" that's run by local guides: Klaudia, Benedetto and Lucio. This food tour is found in the little farming village of Schiazzano and the tour included:- a lemon grove tour and explanation of how lemons are grown, farmed & cultivated on an Italian farm. The Sorrento Lemon tour also included tasting:- Lemon Marmalade- Lemonaid / lemonade- limoncello (including instructions of how to make your own)- an olive grove tour and small lecture teaching about olive crop farming, harvesting, and how the olives are made into olive oil.This olive oil manufacturing bit was accompanied with tastings of different flavored olive oils, with olive oils infused with basil, lemon, oregano, rosemary, chili / chilli and oranges.- a cheese making demonstration: Benedetto the "Cheese man" took us to his family's dairy farm where he showed us how to make cheese including soft white cheeses like caciottine and ricotta, and firmer cheeses like Fior di Latte mozzarella, aged caciocavallo cheese, and Provolone del Monaco matured cheese. Taste samples were given of these too. I've included Benedetto's explanations of how he makes cheese using milk, enzymes, curds and whey.- Pizza-making: After being shown around the dairy farm, we were driven on tiny red "ferrari" 3-wheeled cars (I think these three wheel cars may be "Piaggio Ape" [the retro Ape Calessino model or Ape RR] or Piaggio VespaCar, aka "TriVespa" vehicles, based on a vespa scooter) to a local restaurant & pizzeria, Ristorante da Francesco, where we donned some white gloves and had a go at making pizza the Italian way, after a quick demo of pizza dough making by the chef.- - -NB.

a walk down Omoide Yokocho (Memory lane alley) in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan JivingGerbil 2018-06-06 | Omoide Yokocho (思い出横丁) literally means "Memory Lane" or "Memory Alley". It's a little side street in the middle of modern, busy, bustling Shinjuku in Tokyo, Japan with a traditional atmosphere that takes you back to post-world war II era 1940s 1950s Japan when the area was a black market for food and supplies and later became a drinking den.Today Omoide Yokocho is a picturesque, quaint and charming narrow street alley, chock-full of little tiny restaurants serving izakaya foods like grilled meat, yakitori and ramen. Smoke occasionally billows from doorways, adding to the charmingly grimey atmosphere. If you're in Shinjuku, especially during dinner-time, it's worth a short visit. At lunch-time (when we were there) some of the eateries are closed (they only open for dinner at evening and night time) but it's still pretty to stroll down here. It's only takes a short 5 minute walk down the alley and then you're back to modern times again. A fun experience!- - -Music Credits:Chinese Festival by Derek FiechterLink to Derek's youtube video of this music: youtube.com/watch?v=v5B4e79bmCsLink to Derek's youtube channel for more of his music:youtube.com/user/dfiechter2
Exploring Kagurazaka, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan JivingGerbil 2018-06-04 | The neighborhood of Kagurazaka in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan, was recommended to me by a Japanese friend so we went off the mainstream tourist path, got off the metro at Iidabashi Station, and made a short visit to the Kagurazaka area. I'm really glad we went - it was really chilled, relaxed and had a lovely non-touristy vibe. We enjoyed a quick peek at the local Buddhist temple, Zenkokuji Temple, and more-so, just walking down the main high street / shopping streets, Waseda Dori and Kagurazaka dori.We lucked out and got to see both green tea being roasted in a tea shop, and some Imagawayaki 今川焼き (Obanyaki 大判焼き) shaped like Peko-chan being made at a little bakery called Fujiya.The little side streets were charming, pretty and quaint too. A nice place for a stroll to just absorb the vibes of a quiet, non-touristy, residential high street.If you're ever in Tokyo and want something relaxing to do, a walk around here may be just the thing!- - -Music Credits:Paper Wings by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: http://audionautix.com
Chureito Pagoda in Fujiyoshida, near Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi. Japan JivingGerbil 2018-06-01 | This video shows our trip to the beautiful Chureito Pagoda (in Japanese: 忠霊塔 ), which had stunning, gorgeous views over Mount Fuji on a clear May day. We visited this are of Japan on May 11th, just after sakura season and golden week, and during our springtime visit we visited & toured the surrounding area of Fujiyoshida, Kawaguchiko & Yamanashi. There are a lot of steps - the climb up is pretty tiring! - but every so often we took a break from the stairs to look at the view behind us of Mt Fuji and that helped! Once we got up there, it was worth all the huffing and puffing up - the views were magnificant - super pretty! Especially in Spring when Mount Fuji is still capped with a lot of snow to make it look particularly majestic.If you're planning a Japanese holiday tour to this glorious area of Japan near Fuji Mountain and Lake Kawaguchiko, I recommend stopping by this pagoda - it's a bit of a walk and a bit of a ramble / hike, but I guess it's a good way to get your fitness on and stay fit! And it's great for photographers and tourists alike!- - -Music Credits:Thanks to Derek Fietcher for generously allowing use of his brilliant music.

The one in which I try to learn how to make Timelapses JivingGerbil 2018-04-26 | Just a short, silly, not very informative video documenting my recent adventures with timelapsing. I've recently learned how to use the proper timelapse feature on my G7X mark 2 camera (as opposed to just filming stuff and speeding it up in post-editing - the latter takes up a lot more memory space on the camera / file memory than a ready-made timelapse file, made on the camera) - So, yeah! I have been playing around with the G7X mark ii camera's timelapse function a bit. Here are some things I've learned over the past few days while playing with it. Yep, my findings are probably really obvious to most people - but! there you go! I thought the learning / fail-to-success story was a fun one to document :)- - -Music Credits:Splashing Around by Green Orbs (from the youtube audiolibrary)

Filmed in November 2017.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that seeing the beautiful bird's eye sky high view over Paris at sunset and at night was my favourite thing we did in Paris during our stay. I'd highly recommend it!From the top of Montparnasse you can see gorgeous views of the Eiffel Tower, as it glitters and sparkles on the hour every hour, and has it's beam of light that rotates and lights up the surroundings with its beacon at night. You can also see pretty much all the main attractions and tourist sites in Paris from up there if you look out for them, including the Arc de Triomphe, Centre Pompidou, the Seine, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur over in Montmartre, Le Grand Palais, Le Palais Royal, Jardin du Luxemebourg (Luxemburg gardens) and more.

Cafe Loren don't even know about this video #not a spon)Going through the list of top rated restaurants in London on Tripadvisor, we came across "Cafe Loren" which was in the top 20, so we decided to pay the Stables Market part of Camden Market a visit in Camden Town, London, UK, to try their Shakshuka (sometimes spelled "shakshouka", or שקשוקה), a Mediterranean/ Israeli breakfast / brunch / light lunch dish that consists of eggs and a vegetable-based sauce, usually consisting of a tomato-base.Here's a short video of some clips I took of their small coffee shop / restaurant in case you're curious about what it looks like before heading out there yourself.Note: I think you may need to ask for challah bread if you want it; I'm not sure if they give it out as a standard default thing; we asked.- - -Music Credits: I Like Peanuts by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: http://audionautix.com

Eli Eli - אלי, אלי - Instrumental Traditional Jewish Music JivingGerbil 2016-06-26 | Original music by David Zehvi (Hbrew: דוד זהבי)Lyrics by Hannah Senesh (sometime spelled Chana, Channah or Chanah Szenes, Hebrew:חנה סנש)-Background about this song:Eli Eli (meaning: "My God, My God") is a famous folk Jewish / Israeli song that was composed by David Zehavi (1910-1977) in 1945, that goes with lyrics with words from the poem "Walk to Caesarea" by Hungarian, Jewish poet, Channah Senesh (1921-1944).It's a very simple poem. Meaning of the lyrics:My God, my GodMay the end never come to...The sand and the seaThe rustling ripple of the waterThe glittering light of the skyThe prayer of Mankind-Recorded in EnergyXT by JivingGerbil ProductionsInstruments: Kontact5 : Berlin Piano, Glockenspiel, Flute, Nylon Guitar & Horns-Photo credits: Thanks to xtradc for the beautiful photo provided via MorgueFile.com-NB: Because the song was composed in the 1940s, and songs only become public domain about 100 years after the lifetime of the composer, I believe the song will only become public domain around the year 2077! So since it is not public domain and I don't have the intellectual rights to the original tune from which my arrangement is based, I have not monetized this video and I don't have the right to give this song out for anyone to use. But I wanted to share it anyway in case it can bring some joy to someone out there! :)
