Chelsea, a quick trick for keeping your high tunnel warm at night. Get yourself some small barrels. Plastic ones will work. Paint them black on the outside. Fill them up with water and leave them in the greenhouse. The sun during the day heats up the water. And then the heat is released throughout the night into the greenhouse. This works extremely well. And you don’t have to pay any Hydro.
We have been evacuated with the Kelowna fires. We had 40 pounds of peaches we were going to can this last weekend. We have been sharing the peaches with our lovely beautiful friends who took our large brood in, (fur babies too!) as well as with their neighbours. It has been lovely to watch gardening, food prep and canning videos right now. Activities that are normal and familiar in the midst of all this. That cauliflower head is huge! Ps-Nikki here-I use my hubby’s account for UA-cam login.
I live in Spokane WA, we are having some of the worst fire season this year but the entire world is on fire. Bless you sweet lady. Prayers for safety and health for you all.
Thanks for sharing your bounty garden! Amazing cauliflower. I love pickled veggies 🥕 what a treat to see how well you provide for yourself and your loved ones ❤❤❤
No frost here in Kentucky it is 94 and a heat index of 99. I feel sorry for all the people in Canada. Bless you and your family. Keep doing what you doing it is so entertaining I love when cook and can.
Wow! I can`t imagine those temps this time of year. I`m looking at 96 right now 4pm. But your sunflowers are beautiful and you`ve certainly been blessed with a bounty this year! I pretty much have your same reaction even when I see something peeking thru the soil after planting. Hope I never lose that thrill! I`m gonna try your jardiniere recipe..sounds great! Thanks for sharing
Living in Ottawa, Ontario, and knowing of the wildfires in western and Northern Canada, hoping that you and your family are safe from the wildfires occurring in BC and Northwast Territories.
I just boiled down corn cobs, onion and garlic skins plus some broccoli stems, celery leaves and carrot ends to make a veggie broth to freeze with some bay leaves, salt pepper. My local store has celery on sale and I purchased three, chopped and froze for winter soups and stews. I also purchased your cookbook on Saturday from Amazon, I was lucky they only has 6 left. Love your channel. Your garden is beautiful.
Stems of broccoli and cauliflower can be used for dipping, just like carrots and celery. Cauliflower also makes a decent pickle--❤ bread & butter recipe, especially a mix>>cauliflower, carrot, cuke, onion, radish. And yellow squash, zucchini as medallions is really pretty. And tasty.😊
Here in Central Washington State it is so smoky I can't see the mountain across the canyon (about 1/2 mile away). The fire in Spokane and the fires up in Canada are so bad I find myself praying for rain to clean the air all day long. It is hard to do anything outside. Just grateful no fires near my home. I have lived through at least 6 fires here in my little canyon, I have never unpacked my pictures or important papers since the first fire. I am a seasoned evacuee.
Hope the high tunnel holds on longer. Your weather is such a challenge. So much love and joy goes into your garden. I love watching all your hard work.
My daughter was put on Alert in Chase far as i know she is still home i am happy i found you to watch your vids i am also in the interior a few hours away from you
You may be experiencing an over abundance of small rodents because of the fires. They will scatter and look for refuge elsewhere. God bless and praying for safety for all of our Canadian neighbors from Michigan.
In desperation I started using a bucket, filled 3/4 with water with a ramp leading up to it. Sprinkle some sunflower seed in the water (it floats) and leave some on the ramp (you can use peanutbutter to stick them). You will cath a LOT of rodents in one day, guaranteed.
@catracampolieto… Patty pan squash are wonderful…they have a very buttery flavor (my opinion)…I pick them when they are only about 2 to 3 inches across …small & very tender. Can do anything with them… sauté, steam, add in stir-fry, pickled with other veggies. I bet you will love them.💖
Use a 55 gal barrel to make a wood stove for the green house. You don't have to heat it up to the point to be able to cook on it like your kitchen wood stove, but a small fire would be enough to keep the temp above freezing inside the tunnel.
We had a huge fire season when I lived in zone 3. It was a smokey August with nighttime lows in the 30S F. I came to the conclusion that the smoke cover caused the cooler nights. Your garden is beautiful.
Great pickle 'salad', in a bread & butter recipe; cauliflower, cukes. Carrot, onion, radish. And anything else you want to add. Can also do yellow squash, zucchini ; slice in discs. Really pretty. Good on a sandwich.😊
Those temps sound glorious! We have a stalled front sitting over top of us in Southeast Missouri and have heat indexes at 110 degrees with 100% humidity. So dangerous.
The carrots and celery look delicious. I wish I could get them to grow. Hoping you can keep the high tunnel warm so you can have tomatoes. Be safe and love watching you. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Chelsea, we're just South of you in Washington State and on the Puget Sound. Heavy smoke moved in yesterday late morning. I can't imagine being on the front lines as the smell was horrible with eyes and throats burning. My heart and prayers go out to our Canadian neighbors. ❤
I know you said you were done with relishes, but I think you’d enjoy a Southern style chow-chow. It’s a relish made from cabbage, green tomatoes, and bell peppers. It was kind of a “save everything before the garden freezes” food. Traditionally it’s eaten on top of beans with some cornbread on the side, but it’s good on a lot of things.
We used to keep our carrots in a box of soil. It wasn't really a root cellar but a dark cold building tho carrots went into the box of dirt and I remember I was always happy when my parents or grandparents asked me to 'dig up' some carrots.
Hi Chelsea, I’m kinda new on your channel but so far just lovin’ it! I live in Western Washington so I understand the scare of fires in BC. Do you have a place to go in case you have to bug out? I have my home along with my brother but if you ever find yourself in need, you are welcome here. I live just SW of Seattle, the good part! Hehee! When I was only 5-6 years old, our house that was being built was completely destroyed by fire. We were living in the home even tho we had no facilities or electricity. That was in the mid 60’s and no phone lines out there! No cells either obviously! I Pray for you and all the families that you will be safe and keep your beautiful farm. Also, could you show what the Watermelon Pickles that your daughter was making, please! I’ve heard of them but not actually seen them! God Bless You All! Jilli, neighbors to your South
I would have had to leave the garlic in the jardinière, and in fact add a bunch more - pickled garlic is scrumptious! Killer root cellar, very safe in storms, I'll bet.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I found you again. I saw some of your first videos where you were doing some remodeling on your root cellar, it's been so long since that time. I'm so glad to have found you again.
There now: time in the garden, yours or mine, always lifts the spirits. Frost is damaging your veg while in Kansas City we are having heat index temps of 110 to 120F damaging ours. Makes you really appreciate those 'regular' years.
You must have a really large family. How many kids do you have? I’ve been binge watching your shows and I haven’t heard you say. I’m super curious. lol. I love the new kitchen with the white appliances and pretty painted cabinets. I’ve enjoyed your shows so much that I shared it with a friend 💕
Awesome harvest. Your thinking of frost and we are looking at 95-98 degrees f tomorrow with a heat index of 114-120f. Crazy weather here in Jackson missouri!! My fall garden is going to suffer.
I saw the fires on the TV in the UK and was worried if it affected you. I actually looked at a map to decide. Like that was helpful lol. l I pray you all stay safe.
Chelsea go with what God gave us. Go deeper in your high tunnel to below frost line. THEN, dig down Into that steady earth temperature . Lay down perforated 6" pipe, top with burlap or landscape fabric. Now cover back up with dirt. Put a box fan Inside the hi tunnel & pull that warmer air I to the hi tunnel.😊 geo-thermal.
Thanks for mentioning the fires Chelsea. My husband and I were evac’d on Friday night from our summer property in the Shuswap. It’s been a five day ordeal, and while we’re back on the coast our little summer farms is still at risk. We had to find new homes for our chickens and abandon our garden with 88 tomatoes plants not to mention peppers, zucchini and corn, etc. I remember watching when you were evacd and never want to see anyone go through that nightmare. Anyway, thanks for mentioning it. ☹️
I could literally watch you all day Chelsea. I hope your life is as wonderful as it looks. I envy your life. Just wondering if you get rodents in your root cellar because I didn’t see you pull the door shut tight. I will miss your garden xxx
Chelsea your harvest warms my heart. Our island is still recovering so still no local vegetables for a while. I have squash envy! I also noticed over your should a giant cabbage. Do you know how many kilos/pounds your cabbages get to? Also I saw some one else posted in the comments a question I had maybe you could answer it on a video. How do you keep the mice out of your root cellar??? Thank you again your video brought me alot of joy on a rainy day.
You might have a hard time with certain veggies but your cabbage and carrots and cauliflower and herbs look amazing. You put so much love into the homestead no wonder your harvest is plentiful. I have no trust in the government here so who knows who is setting all the fires. God bless and stay safe.
Oh my! I can’t imagine living in zone three. I garden almost year-round in zone 8. Your garden is beautiful every year. We deal with extreme humidity, high bug pressure and extreme heat.
If only! We do what we can with what we have! I enjoyed your chili and onion video today. Your demeanor makes me feel as though I’m standing wherever you are just chatting. Love it! 🤣no. I don’t talk back to my screen, but I do catch myself smiling.
I received your cookbook today. So glad Mom chose to do large font. I cannot wait to try your recipes. My husband was even perusing it tonight! Strawflowers are so lovely! We love squash, any kind of winter squash, your Holiday Squash sounds divine! I cannot wait to try the mint squares and lemon bars. I LOVE mint. I think volunteers get bigger & better than a purposeful planted plant. I’m loving my steam canner this year. A time saver and for this older lady, way easier to manipulate it. I enjoyed the video very much. You had a WONDERFUL cauliflower year though. Sans the green beans. You were hit this year with family stuff, and it’s understandable- hopefully next year will be better.
You need to get you a four-wheeler and ride around on cuz you do a lot of walking around to check on the cows and you need a four wheeler and that way you can pull your little wagon with it with your produce and everything in it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you tried compost piles in your high tunnel saw this done . The compost heats up and generates heat for the high tunnel might be something to look at.
Jardinière/Giardiniera is amazing. When I was a kid, Tex Mex restaurants served it with the chips and salsa. Now, I guess I'm going to have to make some and eat it fresh since I don't have (space for) a canner/supplies.
Lordy Lordy, those were some big zucchinis!! Beautiful though! :) What beautiful carrots too, Chelsea. Shame you had to pull them all up already. What little stinkers! I made giardiniera for my roommate this year. She let it rest for about 5 weeks and I just sampled it with her yesterday and it came out so good :) What a lovely treat!
Mice ate all my beets. That PW measuring cup must have come from the states. Walmart carries her products up here, but not on such a large scale as in the US, and I haven't seen that measuring cup up here. I'm a bit obsessed with the Pioneer Woman line.
Here in MN zone 4 we had some odd issues this year too! The corn was a bust, not even suitable for seed saving. We got corn stalk borers for the very first time and by the time I found out what it was affecting the corn it was too late! Beans are just now starting so I am sure we wont get anything there either. Potatoes and tomatoes are doing very well. Squash also got vine borers then with the cold wet mornings it also got powdery mildew horrible within two days! I am now fighting that with neem oil . Very different year for us all! Your veg looks amazing even with the frost and late plantings! You make canning look so easy. At the end of my canning day I am a sweaty razzeled mess! Blessings!
Chelsea, a quick trick for keeping your high tunnel warm at night. Get yourself some small barrels. Plastic ones will work. Paint them black on the outside. Fill them up with water and leave them in the greenhouse. The sun during the day heats up the water. And then the heat is released throughout the night into the greenhouse. This works extremely well.

Smart!!
I've done this for yrs.
Absolutely genius! Going to do this next year for sure!
Do your tomatoes grown in the high tunnel taste the same as tomatoes grown outside
Dont you need lots of barrels to make this set up work? and it'll take up space.
We have been evacuated with the Kelowna fires. We had 40 pounds of peaches we were going to can this last weekend. We have been sharing the peaches with our lovely beautiful friends who took our large brood in, (fur babies too!) as well as with their neighbours. It has been lovely to watch gardening, food prep and canning videos right now. Activities that are normal and familiar in the midst of all this. That cauliflower head is huge!

Your carrots pull so easy for the size of them.
Get those kittys to start pulling there weight in mice🤣
Beautiful garden
Thanks for sharing your bounty garden! Amazing cauliflower. I love pickled veggies 🥕 what a treat to see how well you provide for yourself and your loved ones ❤❤❤
Amazing gardens!! You are so fortunate to have such a wonderful homestead!!!
Hi, iam enchanted with your garden
Everything is beautiful. May God continue blessing you all ❤
55 F would feel like the arctic for me right now in Oklahoma. Currently my heat index is 121 F. 49 c. So grateful for AC. Your garden is just lovely!!
Thank you a thousand times over! You work so so hard and I appreciate it so much. Blessings😘😘😘😘
No frost here in Kentucky it is 94 and a heat index of 99. I feel sorry for all the people in Canada. Bless you and your family. Keep doing what you doing it is so entertaining I love when cook and can.
I always used my pickled vegetables in place of a salad in the Winter. Especially loved Dilly Beans. Love your vlog.
Wow! I can`t imagine those temps this time of year. I`m looking at 96 right now 4pm. But your sunflowers are beautiful and you`ve certainly been blessed with a bounty this year!

Praying for the fires and all affected. God bless and keep you all. Thankful for the heros fighting fires and loses of every kind. ❤❤❤💪🏽🙏💖🐝
You may be experiencing an over abundance of small rodents because of the fires. They will scatter and look for refuge elsewhere. God bless and praying for safety for all of our Canadian neighbors from Michigan.
My thoughts are with you. Stay Safe! 🤗 The jardinière looks tasty! Thanks for letting us spend some time in your gardens with you!
The rodent problem may stem from the wild fires as well, as they too are "evacuating" the danger.
I love anything pickled. Such a beautiful display of your veggies 💙
Your veggies looks amazing,you work so hard for your family.I watch your video’s all the time,thank you so much,watching from Northern Ireland.🌺🌺🌺
Your kitties need to get to work in the garden. Show us a snack plate sometime please. The celery is amazing..amazing. That is an excellent knife!
Amazing harvest & canning; thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
Strawflowers make beautiful long lasting arrangements . Maybe a wreath or table centres.
In desperation I started using a bucket, filled 3/4 with water with a ramp leading up to it. Sprinkle some sunflower seed in the water (it floats) and leave some on the ramp (you can use peanutbutter to stick them). You will cath a LOT of rodents in one day, guaranteed.
And I was so thrilled to wake up to your post. I can’t tell you how
Much peace and enjoyment I get out of subscribing to your channel
What a lovely thing to say, thank you.
So glad your family is safe! Harvest is beautiful as always.
Hope y’all will not be affected by the hurricane stay safe
Our family really enjoys mushroom and celery salads. Also roasted celery, so delicious.
I love pickled vegetables. I bought patty pan seeds to grow next year. I've never grown or eaten them, but I love veggies. Awesome video.❤
@catracampolieto… Patty pan squash are wonderful…they have a very buttery flavor (my opinion)…I pick them when they are only about 2 to 3 inches across …small & very tender. Can do anything with them… sauté, steam, add in stir-fry, pickled with other veggies. I bet you will love them.💖

I really love the large zucchini for adding to Mexican stew. Yum.
Great pickle 'salad', in a bread & butter recipe; cauliflower, cukes. Carrot, onion, radish. And anything else you want to add.
Can also do yellow squash, zucchini ; slice in discs. Really pretty. Good on a sandwich.😊

No matter how hard I try , my cauliflower and broccoli just get ate by cabbage moths, yours are beautiful ❤
Try netting and BT! You’ll be successful I promise!
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I found you again. I saw some of your first videos where you were doing some remodeling on your root cellar, it's been so long since that time. I'm so glad to have found you again.
I canned a " salad in a jar" last year. Tomato, cucumber, onions in a salted/sugar brine. Boy was it good to pop a jar in the middle of the winter!
Awesome day in your garden and kitchen.
Gorgeous flowers, wonderful vegetables! Thanks for sharing the beauty of your harvest. Hello from Wisconsin
Patty pans, and zucchini for that matter, are harvested much smaller in South Africa, at about 2 to 3 inches.
Faboulous produce!! You SHOULD be proud and excited!
One person used carrot tops for pesto and liked it. The winter will be hard if mice are going inside this early. Keep storing up.
Sounds like we need to get some Barn Cats!
Where are you?? We are having a drought and the temperatures on my front porch is 106
That CELERY is so beautiful.
There now: time in the garden, yours or mine, always lifts the spirits. Frost is damaging your veg while in Kansas City we are having heat index temps of 110 to 120F damaging ours. Makes you really appreciate those 'regular' years.
So very happy to see you all safe❤
Tomato and cucumber pickle - very yummy.

Here in Spain we have 24º celsius as minimum last night. A huge difference for sure!!! Good for tamatos but horrible to sleep
Awesome harvest. Your thinking of frost and we are looking at 95-98 degrees f tomorrow with a heat index of 114-120f. Crazy weather here in Jackson missouri!! My fall garden is going to suffer.
It works in summer for cooler air & with ter for warmer air. Then you just have to heat up the difference .
Those carrots are stunning!!
I saw the fires on the TV in the UK and was worried if it affected you. I actually looked at a map to decide. Like that was helpful lol. l I pray you all stay safe.
Hi 👋 your garden is so beautiful i love to see you canning 😊
Loce your energy and recipes
Chelsea go with what God gave us. Go deeper in your high tunnel to below frost line. THEN, dig down Into that steady earth temperature .

Those were beautiful carrots! I've never canned jardinière but I have made refrigerator jardiniere.
Its Very MAGICAL!❤❤❤
Chelsea your harvest warms my heart. Our island is still recovering so still no local vegetables for a while. I have squash envy! I also noticed over your should a giant cabbage. Do you know how many kilos/pounds your cabbages get to? Also I saw some one else posted in the comments a question I had maybe you could answer it on a video. How do you keep the mice out of your root cellar??? Thank you again your video brought me alot of joy on a rainy day.
Please, stay safe❤
You might have a hard time with certain veggies but your cabbage and carrots and cauliflower and herbs look amazing. You put so much love into the homestead no wonder your harvest is plentiful.
I have no trust in the government here so who knows who is setting all the fires. God bless and stay safe.
Oh my! I can’t imagine living in zone three. I garden almost year-round in zone 8. Your garden is beautiful every year. We deal with extreme humidity, high bug pressure and extreme heat.
Right?!? Every gardener has their particular challenges... Wondering if there is such a thing as the perfect growing place lol.
If only! We do what we can with what we have! I enjoyed your chili and onion video today. Your demeanor makes me feel as though I’m standing wherever you are just chatting. Love it!
🤣no. I don’t talk back to my screen, but I do catch myself smiling.
Beautiful carrots !!!
I have always thought it so funny that almost every homesteading channel I watch compare produce size to their head size. Hehehe.
I received your cookbook today. So glad Mom chose to do large font. I cannot wait to try your recipes. My husband was even perusing it tonight!
Strawflowers are so lovely!
We love squash, any kind of winter squash, your Holiday Squash sounds divine!
I cannot wait to try the mint squares and lemon bars. I LOVE mint.
I think volunteers get bigger & better than a purposeful planted plant.
I’m loving my steam canner this year. A time saver and for this older lady, way easier to manipulate it.
I enjoyed the video very much. You had a WONDERFUL cauliflower year though. Sans the green beans. You were hit this year with family stuff, and it’s understandable- hopefully next year will be better.
You need to get you a four-wheeler and ride around on cuz you do a lot of walking around to check on the cows and you need a four wheeler and that way you can pull your little wagon with it with your produce and everything in it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have one but the walking is great exercise.
I loved the measrecup i found mine at Wal-Mart in Sherman Texas have not used mine but i am surenext week it will get used alot
Your cookbook has arrived and it is delightful!
Have you tried compost piles in your high tunnel saw this done . The compost heats up and generates heat for the high tunnel might be something to look at.
Piccalilli is very popular in the UK it’s a staple for Boxing Day with cold meat and bubble and squeak 😊
My mom used to grow the patty pan squash but hers were always green. 😊
Jardinière/Giardiniera is amazing. When I was a kid, Tex Mex restaurants served it with the chips and salsa. Now, I guess I'm going to have to make some and eat it fresh since I don't have (space for) a canner/supplies.
Lordy Lordy, those were some big zucchinis!! Beautiful though! :) What beautiful carrots too, Chelsea. Shame you had to pull them all up already. What little stinkers!
I made giardiniera for my roommate this year. She let it rest for about 5 weeks and I just sampled it with her yesterday and it came out so good :) What a lovely treat!
Hello there!
Zone 4a here in quebec and the temperature is going down too.
I’m so envious of your cooler temps! It’s 103 today here in Louisiana heat index 111. Forecasted to be 108 on Thursday. 🥵
Everything looks amazing, Chelsea!
I don’t know how you possibly do all you do, you’re amazing
I have a really good nap everyday!😊
BEAUTIFUL GARDEN👏👏👏👏💜💜
Mice ate all my beets. That PW measuring cup must have come from the states. Walmart carries her products up here, but not on such a large scale as in the US, and I haven't seen that measuring cup up here. I'm a bit obsessed with the Pioneer Woman line.
You are always so pleasant. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Here in MN zone 4 we had some odd issues this year too! The corn was a bust, not even suitable for seed saving. We got corn stalk borers for the very first time and by the time I found out what it was affecting the corn it was too late! Beans are just now starting so I am sure we wont get anything there either. Potatoes and tomatoes are doing very well.
