BRI, your suncooked sweet potatoes are an indicator of how very busy you are with your many kiddos, homeschooling you tubing fractured marriage gardening ,harvesting,preserving and all that life throws at you. Everything happens for a reason. You Ms BRI Are doing a GREAT job. All your babies are healthy, thriving well and beautiful. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ for God to continue renewing your strength. Take one day at a time, beautiful lady. God is with you 🙏
To all the young parents out there ...READ to your children everyday...make a bedtime routine let them pick the book and give them 30 minutes of your time reading to them. I was never a strong reader growing up but I developed a love for reading at 25. Both my boys were 3 levels about grade in reading because I would read to them every night at bedtime. It truly is a gift you can give to them and if you are not a strong reader they won't care...❤
I read to my daughter's right after breakfast and night bed time. They too loved it and learned so much. My first daughter was reading Golden Books at 2 1/2. We lived across the street from a farm.
Her favorite was horse. watching. Each morning we ate breakfast and Reading together with the horses. That was 45 years ago. Seems like yesterday. She's 47. I'm so GREATFUL THANKFUL FOR OUR TIME READING and HOME
SCHOOLING. And that you Momma reads to your children.
It's the BEST. We travel the WORLD together. GOD BLESS
You and your family.🛐🌹🥀✝️☕☕🌟✨👍👏✝️💟❤️💖
You’re a hard working woman Bri. I enjoy watching you work and homeschool with the kids. You’ve learned a valuable lesson with your sweet potato harvest.
Give yourself so much grace! You are kicking butt and taking names every day! You are so tough, never forget that!
Oh my goodness! What a cheer section you have. Adorable! God bless your babies!
Good morning BRI , Many times I have been told by my husband to look at what you have done not what you did not get done. I understand your frustration but the lessons your family are receiving are beyond measure. This I know BRI as I can’t do what I used to do because of health and it’s hard. We are storming heaven with prayers for you all. God bless and remember energy runs out. 🙏🕊💐🍠🍠🍠🍠
Life happens everyday. As long as we learn from our mistakes alls good. Nobody got hurt, just bruised produce and Truly’s hair will grow back.❤
Don’t feel too bad about the loss of veggies. You still have a nice amount, and you’re teaching the kids valuable lessons
So true!
Maybe add a shade cloth or tarp to keep it cooler inside.
How devastating 😢 I'm sorry you lost so much food. Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember what your little ones chanted for you, "Mommy is the best!"
Sooo sweet!!! ❤
Oh my...I'm sorry about your sweet potatoes. You know, I remember my Grandparent's putting them in the basement. I guess to keep them cool and in the dark. At least you were able to save some of them. Don't worry. You all are doing a great job. I'm new to your channel. I love watching how you all come together to help.🥰🥰🥰
Bri, don´t be sad. I think, you can safe more than you think. The ones you got today out of the soil, and I think there are some more in the soil. Hope you get someone to help you. Take care!
Moles eat worms and larva underground. And voles eat plants and roots that are underground.
Beautiful family ❤❤❤ you didn't ruin anything lovely lady, you taught us something! Thank you ❤
Yes indeed!
Oh, I bought that devotional for my students! (I ended up passing it on to the 3rd grade teacher as it was a bit over my 1st graders.) So sorry about your sweet potatoes! How disappointing.
I love your choice of books. I’m going to save this one so I can write down what they are and get them for my grandchildren. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing what books are next. Love your channel.❤
Don't beat yourself up about the sweet potatoes. We should ALWAYS be grateful to be able to learn from our mistakes. Next year will be GREAT. I would plant some in the greenhouse/hi-tunnel without black plastic cover, a row outside under black plastic, plus rows with straw mulch maybe.
Your morning moments with your children are priceless. I couldn't stop giggling at the dismount on the back of the couch! Who else wants to try that? (Me! I do!)
So sorry Bri, youre doing so much its understandable. In the future, ready the garage, maybe stacked pallets, dark (cooler) with air circulation underneath and a fan helps. I know its.no.consolationhowever. Give yourself grace on this. 🙏🏻 On the other hand, whats most important is your miracle babies are smart cookies and oh so amazing! Thanks to your amazing parenting.
Live and learn!
I would cook them still, they are not rotten or anything. They look fine, just maybe wilted because of the heat. ❤
You’re motivating me to get back to morning baskets 😊
An ideal temperature range for curing sweet potatoes is between 80 to 85˚F with a relative humidity of 90 to 95%. Consider curing in a shed, garage, or a shady screened-in porch. In addition to shade, temperature, and humidity, airflow is another key factor in a successful curing process.
(They can’t be in light. They need Shade, correct temperature and humidity, and excellent air flow)
It's great how the twins want to copy everything they see and hear. What a shame about the sweet potatoes, but I'm glad you'll be able to salvage some of them. I saw Hoss Tools had built breathable shelving, using hardware cloth, to cure winter squash and sweet potatoes on. Perhaps that's a project for another 'Honey do' list in the future.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I found out early in life. Hair does grow back. Back in 66 I got my hair cut to short(for the times) but in a few months it was back to normal. No permanent damage.
Hey, Bri and Kiddos! ,
The kids are adorable singing you, praise❤.
Oh No🫢Bad, who the heck would know that would happen 😢.
I hope you can save most of the sweet potatoes 🥺!
JO JO IN VT 💞
We sing Clean up clean up everybody do their share. Clean up clean up everybody everywhere.
Bri, do not regret hair cuts. Hair grows. It is not permanent, so try not to place those feelings on the littles. Teach the lesson that hair grows and that another style can be tried later. No regrets over hair.
As far as the garden, a new lesson in a new environment. You will know to do things differently next time. And you taught some of us a lesson as well.we each will have successes and failures in life, it is how we deal with them. I love your family and your attitude in the struggles you have overcome. Keep placing one foot in front of the other.God loves you. Praying for you and your dear family as God places you upon my heart. Sending hugs.
I think Truly looks cute with her bangs.
Why not just eat a big bowl of cooked sweet potato with butter, & then use some of the cooked sweet potatoes by making things like cupcakes, bread, & simple patties? Then you can freeze them for later.
I was thinking you may have been distracted harvesting and storing your sweet potatoes by that wonderful husband being there with that huge "Honey to do list" !!!!!!!!! 🥹🥰😜
Goldenrod tea was called Liberty tea because when the colonists threw their tea supply into the Boston harbor, this is what they drank.
So so sorry Bri, you worked so so hard. 😢
Ok. The babies in the sink. WHAT COULD BE CUTER?!
Well thats too bad about those sweet tators, any of us could have done that. I can never grow sweet potatoes! Well anyway. On a different note . The baby horse is a foal, a colts a boy and a fillys a girl 😅. Easy mistake.
Unless you speeded that up lol! I want to chop garlic and ginger like you Bri😂😂and I could be your Mama😂😂😂
Loved the video, bit of a nuisance re sweet pots but you can save most of them! Go Bri go! And your helper team are amazing👏👏👏
Love how soccer is just a group of people and not little league. Way, we did when I grew up. The best. Sad about the sweet potatoes were you able to save them? Peace!
If the sweet potatoes are cooked already could scoop that out and bag it then cook other part in different bags...next time under your house verandah on carbord would be better or garage maybe buy some shelves that have wire shelves for next year...so sorry...want a bummer...
Lulu hair is lovely why don't you put a clip in it...❤❤❤
Perhaps it was the black fabric cardboard next year, who knows?
I sent a message the day I viewed the video about my friend who did this very save thing. I'm so sorry that happened
Actually, when i microwaved a few s. potatoes, they were half brown inside. There might be other reasons for browning. But black plastic won't allow vegetables to breathe. Cardboard better, but a wire rack or table better. Also, heat is good for them but not lots of direct sun. Im sure friends will give you lots of ideas. I imagine your head is filled with 7 voices and lessons and recipes and trying to keep where you need to be. It's sad but like you say lessons too! Maybe give one of the big kids an assignment in researching, harvesting sweet potatoes, etc, for credit. I really would like to find an easy and best way to make and save info i can add to notes about each veggie and herb and harvesting and growing tidbits to keep in mind. Like a page for each. I'm not very tech, so I'm not sure what program there is. That is good, but maybe others will chime in! ❤
Placing cardboard over plastic or old towels. Would have buffered the heat a little. We live and learn wish you had yhe livestock to feed that loss too. Dang hoas
I'm so sorry BUT you can not do it all without a few miss-steps. It keeps you humble so it can be a good thing and a really great thing if you learn from your experience - wisdom is also a harvest that is to be treasured.
A baby horse is a FOAL. If it’s a boy it’s a COLT. If it’s a girl it’s a FILLY. ❤ I’m so sorry about your sweet taters!
I always get these mixed up! Lol thanks 😊
I would be interested to see the poem about why people did not like King George III.
❤❤
Hard part of gardening is learning what works in a new place. Bummer about the sweet potatoes ❤😢❤
Baby horses are called foals. If it is a girl foal, it is a filly. If it is a boy foal, it is a colt.
Bless your heart. I once lost a bunch from an unexpected hard freeze when I forgot they were out on the drying racks, lost all of them. We learn from experience. You do an amazing job.
Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I'm just now watching but I'm also giving you a warm hug. 🧡 The enemy is seething at the progress your family's experiencing and he's definitely not above sucker punches. Remember, in the end, JESUS, destroys him with a Word. That same Jesus is holding your hands, right now. Rest in His peace and love. I love you.🙏🏼🧡
You really think satan ruined her sweet potatoe harvest, because her family is happy and back together?
I’m so sorry you have such a warped belief system, that must be so hard😢
I Hope you one day learn to know that sad things just happen for no reason, no one is out to get us.
Gods love is endless, nonjudgmental and for everyone.
Evil is not out to get us,
evil is the things we choose to do ,even though we know in our hearts, it’s wrong and that’s when we have to take the consequences of our actions.
God does not want us to live in fear , so he would not let anything punish us for our happiness.
@@malina1239Amen!
@@malina1239 I agree. As a Christian I hesitate to give credit to the evil one or say the name at all. Especially when I fall short and only have myself to blame. Bri took responsibility for the harvest gone bad... end of story. God does not desire for us to live in fear and look for the "enemy" everywhere or anytime life gets messy. That is not what Jesus taught His followers. When we struggle in this life we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us wisdom and truth about ourselves so we grow Spiritually. Talking to or rebuking the devil based on our own opinions or feelings could lead to an over-emphasis which leads us astray. Some Church leaders base their whole ministry on waging war and casting out demons instead of the sin in ourselves. God's love is unconditional and sure. His mercies are new every morning.
@@malina1239what I really think is that you are the one who needs our prayers, the devil has a tight grip on your soul to be so mean and hateful. Go find someone to follow that deserves your kind of insight. In the meantime, until you’re able to open your eyes and heart we will pray for you.
The Lords got Bri and her family, he has shown his grace on them more times than can be counted and he will continue.
It amazes me how many Christians are in denial of satan’s handiwork. Bad luck, misfortune, sad things call it anything else but what it is. Then you can take credit for good luck, fortune and happy things? Why do we pray in church for our farmers? That God bless their crops? Satan delights in destruction and in the separation of families- God holds marriage as a scared bond between a man and a woman. Everything created by God is satan’s target. If more people took this to heart and began to call out the enemy humankind might not be in the peril we are right now.
Bri, I grew and harvested my potatoes recently. I placed them on the corner of my porch on newspaper for approximately two weeks to cure. They got afternoon sun. Worked great. I have large porch like you. Might give the last harvest a try on porch to cure.
Thanks for your tip. I have some late ones.
We lost all of our sweet potatoes this year and we had some really large ones. The silly moles took bites out of all of them. They ate the middles out, so there was no way to salvage them. It's frustrating because they didn't eat even one full potato. They just sampled all of them. My husband has declared war on them for next year. 😅😂
Oh my gosh!! Royal asking for a bath and then saying no… he didn’t want to do the next thing was so precious! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bri, Sad for your sweet potatoes, but I know it will be okay. There is always next year. The chopping for dinner was a visually awesome. You and your family are treasures. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Sorry about your sweet potatoes, hard as it is, it may be best to scrap them, if they were hot enough to cook and then being moved to the garage where they will cool off can allow bacteria to grow, not worth making yourself or your children sick, imho
I found this on line.
Tip: You shouldn't leave cooked sweet potatoes at room temperature for more than two hours, as this can promote bacteria growth and cause foodborne illness.
Love the dynamics of your family! It’s very moving to see you all interact with each other the way you do. May the Lord continue to bless and restore you💕🙏🕊🌈⚘
Correction: A baby horse is called a FOAL (a colt is a male foal, a filly is a female foal).
I would have thought they would need to be refrigerated now to keep them from souring since they have cooked.😢
I thought cooked potatoes left out in a kitchen more than a few hours weren’t safe to eat? Gardening takes so much time and energy to have a loss.
Hard lesson to learn, but how you figure out how to lessen the loss will be a great teaching moment for your kids. You're doing a great job Bri, don't be too hard on yourself.
These are the best kinds of videos. I really enjoy when you are in front of the camera, Bri. Learning from you and watching you do all the things.
Sweet potatoes do need it to be quite warm to cure properly, but perhaps the black plastic is the issue? I have always cured our sweet potatoes on cardboard, turning them every day or every other day to prevent mold. Maybe with the sides up in the greenhouse and cardboard down, it will work better in the future? Definitely a tough lesson, but the kids will have learned, too. Also, I noticed when one of the babies (I think it was Royal) pointed to the baby horse, you said that was a colt. A colt is actually an immature male horse, and a filly is an immature female horse. A foal is an immature horse, regardless of gender. I know lots of folks may not know the difference, but since I grew up with horses, I thought I would share that nugget.
Bri, I saw this woman that had a lot of children and she cooks the eggs in a cookie pan with a high side/edge. She would spray with pam or rub the bottom with butter. Pop it in the oven and tada a tray of eggs!!!
So sorry the sweet potatoes got cooked in the little greenhouse. It happens. I make mistakes too and it hurts. I just lost 3 females ducks that were just about to lay and my Thanksgiving turkey by forgetting to go out and lock the door last night! Ouch. The drake survived and most of my Spring chickens. At least I didn't lose all my birds but I just kick myself that I didn't lock them in last night. Coyotes must have come and gotten them. The drake looks totally unhappy. The Spring chickens are hiding in the brush. All my baby birds in brooders are fine. I have another 8 ducks and 38 meat chicks and 9 layer chicks in my brooders so they are okay. It happens! Hang in there Bri!
So sorry, that is very sad. One year I had the thought, "That chicken coop door seems really flimsy. I had better fix that tomorrow." Well sure enough the fox got in that night and killed every single bird. Hard lesson learned.
Don't ever store potatoes or sweeet potatoes in a green house. They need to sit and cure so the sugars are dispersed but this should be done in a controlled environment which is done best in a cool/ dark room.... sorry for your sweet potatoes
I don’t understand how this was allowed to happen. Bri is a very seasoned gardener, and has years of experience with harvesting vegetables. This is a financial blow, especially after the loss of two freezers full of meat. It is becoming very apparent that she is unable to sustain raising children, gardening (raising vast amounts of food for consumption), processing this food, homeschooling, taking care of the house and the property, etc. by herself. This is tough to watch…..
@@probablynot1368 life is a process of highs and lows. Mistakes happen and lessons are learned. Your comment seems to be loaded will assumptions. We see a very small part of their life on here. Show a little respect.
@@alisharhc You are assuming my comment to be disrespectful. You are incorrect.
@@probablynot1368She’s never had a greenhouse before and didn’t realize how hot it can get in there. I was surprised when I got my greenhouse. It can get up to 120F in mine in the summer with the fan on, door open and sides rolled up! Your comment does have a judgmental tone to it.
@@probablynot1368 this comment while maybe not meant to be disrespectful, it hurtful. It is probably why she turns off comments. This is tough, but nothing compared to what she’s been through. Let’s lift them up!!! She has done SO MUCH better than me at a garden and I don’t have young kids anymore.
Bri.. you rock Mama
I am glad that you teach science and history. Here where we live many home school groups took out science and history. Its very sad.
Her hair will grow momma. So happy for your family. We home schooled also. Part of the time. Just make sure you give them the important stuff.
Give yourself grace. You have a lot going on.
My heart goes out to you after so much work! You have such a beautiful family! I love watching them!
It's nice seeing your kids playing with the Rhodes kids. Blessings abundant to you all.
Brianna, talk to me about that raw shredded beef! What, where, and how girl? 😆 That dish looked amazing.
I always have some harvest go to waste. I am still learning to preserve what I grow. Its definitely the hardest part of gardening for me. Enjoying the harvest is the easiest😊. So do not be too hard on yourself. God bless!
You need air circulation, up on a table . Never on plastic
I grew sweet potatoes this year for first time ever. I also cured mine in my greenhouse. I places mine on cattle panels so air would circulate all around. I left them out there a couple weeks and just recently moved them to my basement. I am hoping that they store well 🤞
Oh my goodness the twins are really looking like Art at the minute! Especially around the eyes ❤
Probably would be a good idea to dig up three or four plants at a time, and take the potatoes to the garage or somewhere shady and cool right away. I admire your efforts to feed your family healthy, home grown foods. I know from experience, how hard you work and how tiring it is.
Bri with each video I watch I’m always impressed by the amazing women and mother you are. And thank you for sharing the soccer game and play time. My children are in their 20’s and I deeply miss that. Watching children play was always a joy to me. ❤
We always dealt with large harvests outside then brought the end product inside. Less mess for sure. Sad loss...those were the nicest sweet potatoes I’ve ever seen. In Arkansas they are longer and thinner but very sweet
So very sorry about this. We are learning a lot from you. Now, the other side is that if you lose electricity you know it’s hot in the greenhouse for maybe keeping something warm ?or cook something simple over time.
You might need to make drying tables to put in the green house that is up off the ground so the air can circulate. I'm so sorry for your harvest I know it's disheartening. Hopefully you can salvage some of the harvest. God bless you and your family.
Love your videos. Stuff in life happens- be kind to yourself. Also- for your connectors- I am a lifelong liberal who is a Christian and mother and grandmother. I have never manipulated kids or plotted against families. LOL. Prejudices towards whole bunches of “ others” just do not make sense to me. I am sure advice to limit your children’s education to the narrow and “feels safe” is well meant. I am sure all parents can make their own good judgment about their kids education. God bless you!
Bri you're doing a great job with your kids with homeschooling and all. How you take on all the housework and minding all the children is fantastic. Don 't be too hard on yourself about the harvest. Its just a learning process in your new environment, i'm sure you will know what to do better in future. Hope you'll show us what you did with the bountiful sweet potatoes; good and bad 😊 take care & God bless,you and your beautiful family❤
Sorry about your sweet potatoes. Stuff happens sometimes. Do you all eat the greens? Some people grow them just for the greens.
I threw some old sweet potatoes in a 5 gallon bucket this year. I was so surprised when they grew! However, I had no idea what I was doing. Read a little about them on UA-cam before digging them up. Only got a few out of it because I didn’t plant them correctly. I’m also sure that I’m not curing them right. They are too complicated! I don’t think I will be growing them again. My family enjoys them, but I really don’t care for them anyway. I would say that your actually doing better than me lol!
Truly’s hair looks cute!❤️
Ahh that’s so frustrating! A little speed bump though and like you said a lesson.
I meant “commenters” not “connectors” below. At 72 my fingers are too clumsy for the small buttons on my phone. Oh well- life goes on! Praise the good Lord! Let’s all be merciful to each other. 🙏❤️
Geeze so much hate in Justin's posting your TV debut. No matter how or Edgar folks think or believe that made me physically ill. Truly it did.
Ahhhh, that's so heartbreaking! When you grow beautiful food, and make a mistake that spoils it. But Bri, you did the best you could with what you knew.
Thank you for sharing about your morning time with us! We do a morning time as well, but slightly differently. How long do you typically spend on morning time? Do you have a time limit you give it, or just however long it takes to get through what you want too?
The twins' vocabulary is expanding nicely. They're so cute!
I noticed that today. They are just too stinking cute.
Moles destroyed some of my new landscaping & trailed all over my yard! I had a pro come...he put 12 traps at the dirt hill, it was all done by ONE mole! Unbelievable! Now i know to put a trap wherever they pop out.
Maybe they had a worm or something & you are protected....be positive..your family is blessed🌻
Sending you lots of hugs and love ❤️, Your next sweet potato harvest will be awes🫂❤😊👍💕💕💕
Question- could you start a compost pile with old garden growth and the “ cooked” potatoes? I am not a gardener so I realize this question may sound like I have no idea. LOL.
Bri when I homeschooled we had a lot of fun with what we called Core classes. Each child picked a theme. And everything they did pertained to that. Ie... one son picked wolves so his math science English history everything was about wolves for 6 weeks
Bri.... Oh how i feel you on this one. We had a huge amazing harvest of red potatoes a few years ago. My first ever successful potato year and it was an incredible haul and i was GIDDY! We put them out in spare room in dark on tarps to cure and then the door got left open and the cat got in and assumed the "dirt" smell must have meant LITTER BOX 🥺😭😐and he peed on our potatoes thus turning that into our "year of the PISStato incident" ... ugh. and onward we trudge Jehovah Jirah still providing despite our failures. Blessings to you all 💕
To cure any potato it has to be cool, dark and able to breath. Off the floor or at least on something that allows air flow. Sorry you feel you wasted all that hard work but nothing is ever wasted...now you've learned something new about your garden.
Hair grows back quicly. Anyway it looks fine. We learn from our mistakes.
Hope you were able to salvage all that you could 🙏🏽🧡
Pumpkin Pie filling baked at 130 degrees in a solar oven...of a greenhouse.
So sorry about your sweet potatoes. I usually wait to harvest after first frost.....and then bring them inside. However on the occasions I harvest early, I have a long wire shelf I set up between two saw horses, and spread the sweet potatoes out in the sun. But the problem, if you do a little research, is it gets cold at night potentially. So bring them inside, ventilate them very well. I use cardboard boxes, layer with dry straw, and put them in a closet. We learn from our mishaps.
I am so sorry Bri.. We all make mistakes in the garden . I hate learning processes . ❤ I hope you forgive me ..
I began watching this video with a chuckle. Two babies in the kitchen sink. Priceless.
Next time you & yours will learn to make drying/curing racks & it will be good! in the meantime you have a cheering crew!!
