Love love love the giving the Lord the first fruits. We are trying to homestead with Biblical principles as well. And just today, I told the girls we were not going to get the first mulberries of our new tree.
There is just a new spring in your step. You can really tell that you're feeling better. I myself lost a little over 60 pounds on a keto type diet . I told everyone you have to find what works for you, but when it comes down to it your health is the most important thing.
Mike every watermelon has a tale at the stem coming off the vine. when that tale dries up back to the vine the watermelon is ripe. I have been growing watermelon for the last 3 and that is the method I use.
I Really Like How All Of You Help Each Other Out! I Also Liked How You Gave Your First Harvest Away!! Everything Looked So Yummy!!! Hugs To Everyone!!!!
That intro to the garden was amazing! It's wonderful how you incorporate faith into daily life with the family. Things have really picked up and seem so much better on the farm continued blessings keep up the good work family 😊. Oh and Lacie l happened to notice in your face the weight lose just as you mentioned this diet. Looking great and so much more healthy and vibrant
I absolutely LOVE your message of giving the first harvest to God. Thank you for the reminder. I do believe I will now start doing the same. Thank you for taking the time you do to create your videos :o)
The way you know your corn is ready is when the silk starts drying up, but you can't let it sit on the stalk or your corn will start drying up. If your kernels have small dimples in the middle, they have started drying up.
Try only growing 2 corn per stalk. And when they have tassels, take the flower head off completely and brush it on the tassels. Corn is air pollinated. 💪😁
Awesome !! I'm so glad you seek to honor GOD by giving your first fruits !! I hope and pray that GOD blesses you all with even more and better tasting watermelon 🍉😊 !!!
Thank you for showing the dehydration of the cucumbers! I am going to try this! I didn't know there were different colors of beets. Have a blessed day.
Stacey, you look absolutely great..But before you also looked good and beautiful.xx You are really glowing..Love watching you and the family.. Cape Town South Africa
I tried corn last year for the first time. I was worried about "knowing" when it would be ready. According to reading up on corn, you wait till the tassles turn brown. Then, supposedly, you press your thumbnail into one kernel to see if it looks like a little milk comes out. Most of my corn was very good. I actually thought that each plant would provide about 6 ears; but I was surprised to see only 2 or sometimes 3 ears on each plant. No wonder you see miles of corn on farms. It would take that much to yield dozens at a time.
Amazing how much you get from all the hard work you put into from the beginning. I'll love to juice the beets and cucumber together with some lime and apples.
Thank you for a great video with all kinds of updates. The watermelon looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see you cut the next one. Very interesting to see the beets fermented. Would enjoy seeing a taste test!
'Giving the first fruit to God! ' Thank you for following God's great principle! I'm sure you will be blessed trumendesly! And thank you for showing your children a wonderful example!
Well I was going to tell you how to tell when corn or melons are ready to harvest but others have beet me to it. So I'll just say may God bless your harvest both in the fields and out of it.
Looks like a wonderful harvest, and preserving. God has blessed you abundantly, may He keep raining blessings on your entire family, flocks & livestock and those fabulous gardens.
Lacey looks great! The garden is doing wonderful,could you explain more about how you offer up the fruits of your labor or direct me to where I can learn more. Thanks
Wanted to send out some love.... I’m grateful that you show the bad weeds letting people see it not just us ... it has rained so much mine is same way.. on the corn I would plant it a little thicker maybe 2-3 lines in each hill .. the closer they are to each other the better they pollinate each other and Lacie... I’m so happy for you .. you have worked hard to get to where your at and deserve many hugs and congratulations for that so I’m sending you my love and hugs here💚💚💚💚💚
Thanks for the tips on the cucumber chips. I also have an abundance of cukes and while I save seeds, eat some and pickle some I was not sure what to do with all I have so I appreciate the ideas. I don't comment much but I watch all your videos and enjoy them very much. thank you.
Greetings and blessings to you and the family, that sure was a beautiful watermelon. Awesome job all of you have done, Lacey you have me tempted to check out this diet your own, I'm more concerned about the health benefits , but giving up my veggies ughhh I do juice alot of veggies lol , I'm happy for your health getting better and the weight lost is a plus, blessings to everyone.
I picked my watermelons by the dry tendril, all the way dry and then wait 3 to 4 days. I was picking at the dry tendrils only and they were still green. But the ones I waited 3 or 4 days were better. That was the Sugar Baby kind.
It's exciting to see folks harvesting. There is something special about seed ti.e and harvest ! We planted this year knowing someone else would get our harvest with expectation s of our bus being done. Won't be long till we will be rolling . Sojo-( sojourners rest.) Looking like our direction is South eastern who knows where The Father knows tho and thats all we need to know. Peace and abundance to yall
I’m going to try the cucumber dehydration chips. That really looks good and crunchy. I will also notice how healthy and pretty glow in your skin is just as your husband said it’s a good for you.
Watermelon is ready when you see the first curly cue off the watermelon turns brown.. this means it’s not taking on any more water. Just go from where the stem is at the watermelon and find the first curley thing like a cucumber grabber.
If you grow pumpkin plants in the Pacific..the pumpkin tips are picked and cooked as vegetables with can coconut milk also with beef strips or chicken pieces..salt pepper and garlic.yummy over white rice...just saying..
Praise The Lord for the restoration of your health and your families health Laci and the harvest and it’s abundance. I love watching and learning from y’all and I appreciate your giving God the glory and honor and praise and teaching your children and is your viewers as well. Thank you.
That is a wonderful concept to teach the kids. I know it's a hard one for kids, especially when the fruit looked as good as that one did. But they'll remember these lessons for the rest of their lives. I know you all know this. Just wanted to show my appreciation for how you're raising your youngins.
I learned there are a few tricks to watermelon. First is to stop watering them at a certain point. Too much water makes watery tasting watermelon. Second is the curling vine by the stem dries up completely when it is time to pick.
The most successful watermelons my mother ever got, all us kids and cousins sitting on the porch spitting seeds (contest) right where they had just torn up a brick patio🤣🤷🏼♀️ Huge melons beautiful and sweet 🙏🏻
Love giving God your first fruits! Been hearing a lot about the carnivore diet....need to look more into it. We think your garden looks great. We are glad to be seeing you all again at the Homesteading Life Conference. Thanks for sharing. We don't comment much...so wanted to stop by .
Great video! Learning so much! I’m the worst at not taking the cutters out with me to harvest. All of your produce look so good! Wow! Yumo! Watermelon 🍉 Amen on first fruits to bless others with. Uniform gardens are boring lol! Looks awesome to me. God bless y’all n see ya time.✝️🏡🌱
Remember Lacy you can't take care of anyone unless you take care of yourself. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. God bless

Mike we need a few videos on how you manage the CSA, takes alot of planning and organization i think.
Love the facial expression of the kiddos. Precious. Simple things in life are the best!
I Really Like How All Of You Help Each Other Out! I Also Liked How You Gave Your First Harvest Away!! Everything Looked So Yummy!!! Hugs To Everyone!!!!
watermelons have a curl at the stem. when it drys up the watermelon should be ready.
Cirn is ready when the tassels turn dark brown. Also process it quick. No more than 3 days.
Hello from New York, i love watching your videos 👍 you guys are such a lovely family 😊
Lacey, YOU LOOK AMAZING ❣
I have fallen way behind on viewing and that was the first thing I noticed, Lacey is looking great.
That intro to the garden was amazing! It's wonderful how you incorporate faith into daily life with the family. Things have really picked up and seem so much better on the farm continued blessings keep up the good work family 😊. Oh and Lacie l happened to notice in your face the weight lose just as you mentioned this diet. Looking great and so much more healthy and vibrant
Lacie, you do have a healthier glow to your already beautiful face. Well done with the hard work of changing the diet!
I absolutely LOVE your message of giving the first harvest to God. Thank you for the reminder. I do believe I will now start doing the same. Thank you for taking the time you do to create your videos :o)
Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night!
@ David Davis. Good evening from Central Florida also😃
@@shirleyk623 Dade City here... where do you stretch your legs?
Good afternoon from central Florida! Eustis here!
Love your first fruits rule. It's absolutely precious and we adore you guys!!
Your bounty of beets and cucumbers looks wonderful. Great work, guys. 💖
Thanks Mike and family. I have been keeping my tomatoes tied up and pruned this year. They are doing quite well.
You are looking so good Lacie! So glad you are feeling better!💖👏💖
The way you know your corn is ready is when the silk starts drying up, but you can't let it sit on the stalk or your corn will start drying up. If your kernels have small dimples in the middle, they have started drying up.
Yes when the silks at the tip start turning brown & drying you have 3 days to get it harvested or it will be tough not milky.
Try only growing 2 corn per stalk. And when they have tassels, take the flower head off completely and brush it on the tassels. Corn is air pollinated. 💪😁
a ripe watermelon has a yellow spot where it sits on the ground. nice video!
Awesome !! I'm so glad you seek to honor GOD by giving your first fruits !! I hope and pray that GOD blesses you all with even more and better tasting watermelon 🍉😊 !!!
Hello from Illinois. I am a new subscriber! I enjoy you and your family videos!
Hello from Florida. I love your channel and watching your homestead journey. Best wishes.
I LOVE watching your family videos!
Rabbits and guinea pigs LOVE CORN HUSKS AND SILKS EVEN MORE... WOOOHOO!💕💕😆
You are God’s people as well, and the children too, and deserve to have first fruits of your labor as well
Good evening Mr. Dickson , wait until the melon stem is drying and turning brown. That is usually a good indicator that it's ready. Enjoy !
Thank you for showing the dehydration of the cucumbers! I am going to try this! I didn't know there were different colors of beets. Have a blessed day.
You look great, Lacey! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😇😇😇
Wow Lacey! I can see the difference in your appearance on your new diet! Just stay safe about it 😉 I love watching y'alls videos ❤ love y'all
Lacey is looking AMAZING!! Stay on the path, it’s all about being disciplined and being committed!
Beautiful eggplant. Wish they were as tasty as they are lovely. Love your garden Mike.
That’s so beautiful to honor God with the first fruits. I’ve tried to follow that principle this year and I can say God has given me the increase.
Love the dedication to First Fruits!
Well almost midnight so hello and thanks for being part of my work evening
I love watching you guy. Such an uplifting channel. Thank you
instead of a couple of long rows of corn, bunch them together (more and shorter rows). they will pollinate better.
Thanks for sharing your journey learning with corn☺️
Stacey, you look absolutely great..But before you also looked good and beautiful.xx
You are really glowing..Love watching you and the family..

Great work on yourself and diet!! God strengthen you for this task.
Congratulations on losing your weight I am cheering you on.

Follow the vine of a watermelon back towards the main root. Find the curlicue by the leaf and if it’s dried up, it’s ripe.
Love the show and the garden is so great....
Awe!! Mike giving such loving compliments ❤️
Good for you Lacie! Go sister!
Looks like a wonderful harvest, and preserving. God has blessed you abundantly, may He keep raining blessings on your entire family, flocks & livestock and those fabulous gardens.
Oh wow Lacie you do look thinner thats so awesome GO GIRL !

I made cucumber chips today too. I dipped them in different salad dressings first.
God bless, I am amazed at how much you do. I can't keep up with my little garden.
The most delicious pickels are turnips with one slice of beats garlic chili and salt. My kids eat like apple. Very healthy vegetable.
Thanks for the tips on the cucumber chips. I also have an abundance of cukes and while I save seeds, eat some and pickle some I was not sure what to do with all I have so I appreciate the ideas. I don't comment much but I watch all your videos and enjoy them very much. thank you.
Something we did is put down cardboard under the watermelon. It prevents weeds and keeps the bottom other watermelon from rotting.
You’ll look great have a blessed weekend 🙏🏻🥰

Mike at stem to melon go back to closest tendril to see if it has browned out, many video show that as the confirm its ready to pick.

Lacey, congrats on feeling better girl! Love the idea of cucumber chips, never had them. How long does it genarally to dehydrate them?
I was wondering the same thing. I'd love to try this.
I agree! Lacy you look wonderful!
How awesome in teaching your children to give the first fruits to the Lord. 👍
you should try to soak the cucumber slices in a bit of vinegar and dill first, could be the start of a new food trend!!
Amen yall, God continue to bless you and your family
I know I'm very late with watching your video, but the corn that you have in this video, it's perfect for tomales,
I’m going to try the cucumber dehydration chips. That really looks good and crunchy. I will also notice how healthy and pretty glow in your skin is just as your husband said it’s a good for you.
I believe the corn is ready when the hairs just start to go brown . Great job
👍👍 good pickles !
You should get a nice canner autoclave. Could grow mushrooms too!
Watermelon is ready when you see the first curly cue off the watermelon turns brown.. this means it’s not taking on any more water. Just go from where the stem is at the watermelon and find the first curley thing like a cucumber grabber.
corn LOVES bloodmeal through out the grow...Maybe once half way through the season...
Thank you guys for showing us the cucumber chips!! i’m gonna try making some too!
If you grow pumpkin plants in the Pacific..the pumpkin tips are picked and cooked as vegetables with can coconut milk also with beef strips or chicken pieces..salt pepper and garlic.yummy over white rice...just saying..
Thanks for the reminder! I need to order more Redmond ReLyte 😜
Great video and enjoy learning with you
Keep the corn silk for tea. It's good for you.
Truly the beautiful enlightening path we were always meant to live.
TRY THE CUCMBERS WITH GINGER ANDtumeric so yummy but makes the house smell for a bit lol
i love my dehydrator
Just Beautiful garden no matter what! Afternoon from HawaiiAloha from a Grams🇺🇸🤙🏽🌴🍍🌺❤️
That watermelon looked done to me! Yummmmmay!!
Praise The Lord for the restoration of your health and your families health Laci and the harvest and it’s abundance. I love watching and learning from y’all and I appreciate your giving God the glory and honor and praise and teaching your children and is your viewers as well. Thank you.
I love eggplant. So many delicious things one can do with eggplant. Not easy to grow here in the NW.
That is a wonderful concept to teach the kids. I know it's a hard one for kids, especially when the fruit looked as good as that one did.

Love your channel …been a sub for awhile ..from out back Western Australia 👍👍
Love giving God your first fruits!

Have s beautiful day🌻🌻🌻
Don't watermelon have a tendril that dies off when ready???

I grew cannon ball water melons one year they turned out great a couple I picked to early, but I lived and learned .
Have you thought about pealing the cucumbers before dehydrating?
Oh wow! I membership to a farm?? Woooow! That’d be cool
