Your baby girl’s excitement is EVERYTHING! 🥰💚
I love your daughter's excitement on seeing the potatoes come up from the ground.
I agree! So adorable!
Potato harvesting is my daughter's favourite too - digging for buried treasure
THAT BIG FORK SHOVEL DESTROYING MORE THAN FIND
It is a great gardening channel for gardening tips for beginners it is the best gardening channel I have ever seen.
The Lord has really blessed you guys.
Just discovered your UA-cam videos and love them! We have binge watched your channel the last couple of weeks and learned so much about gardening and common sense living. We are telling all our young couple homesteaders about you. You have a down-to-earth way of explaining your challenges and plans. You are encouraging more people than you know. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It trully is what motivates us!
I love that you call your mom to check canning recipe. I use to do this when my mom was alive.
So proud of that young man that he made sure to tell her that he squashed the carrot. Good for him
Why thank you 😏
Love watching!
When you can things yourself aleast you know what you are putting into your body❤❤❤❤
Just discovered you both about a month ago, I absolutely love and respect what you do for the earth and your family. You are an inspiration and I hope more young families follow your hard working principles, my sister bought a beautiful farm in the Washington state and do all their own food and gardens and I told her about you to look you up and subscribe. You reminded me a lot about her and her homesteading life. I was bought up that way … hard working and living from our gardens and good healthy food. It’s all very scary these days with all the horrible food filled with chemicals and additives. God bless you and your family, may God keep you thriving . I also bought the book you recommended about root cellaring for my sister and now watch you everyday. A faithful fan ! I’m from Wisconsin and would love to go back to the days where life was simple, hard working, but healthy. Your children are precious! May the good Lord protect and provide for you all 🙏
Thanks for your kind words, Sophia! So glad to have you on the channel!
Digging for potatoes 🥔 is such a pleasure to do, it’s like Christmas morning when you unwrap your presents 🎁. Your little one’s excitement when she saw the potato 🥔 is everything.
Totally!
Love Eden’s excitement finding potatoes!!! She’s so happy!
So I just saw some unbelievably rude comment saying you are not who you say you are.
Just so you know, a lot of things that you do, say and show seem very genuine.
Don´t let people like that stop you, the rest of us enjoy all of your content so much.
For me, I´m living my gardening dreams vicariously through you :P and I especially love the way you don´t make videos for the sake of showing off, but talk about the hardships and shortcuts as well. A good marriage or relationship takes time and effort, especially with kids, we all know that. Your way of farming seems just the same as that process and your effort shows.
Thank you so much for your support...and for believing in us. I promise it's not fake or staged. If it was all staged, we wouldn't be sharing our issues and failures. It's comments like this that keep us motivated! Thank you!
@@morethanfarmers You´re very welcome.
Hi. I really admire both you and your husbands push and drive. I have been doing the same all my 74 years. I am beginning to go downhill a bit and am having a hard time with having to shift into doing things a different way, I just can't quit yet. Hope you all have a long and productive life at it as well. Jessie from Arkansas
Wish you the best!
I am so glad you took the time to post videos that provide encouragement and instruction. Thank you for this.
You're very welcome!
i love the recomendation of watching different videos at the end of each video! im so excited to try some new stuff in the garden this year!
The excitement when your little one saw potatoes! Love it 😍
Good job Homesteading family working together, sweet. I love potatoes and harvesting them.
Thank you!
Its so awesome that yall are teaching your children so much ❤️ especially to Fear the Lord !!! Great wisdom!!
I came back to say..every since I found your channel it has become my go to when I have a few mins(watching all your older videos) mainly because it is so peaceful an relaxing an full of real everyday life with no drama or fear factor added JUST PLAIN HOLD SOME GOODNESS ❤my your channel grow leaps and bounds 🙏
Love it! Thanks for the encouraging words 😊
I love your videos they are very relaxing ❤
OH Wow your channel is just amazing- your soil is beyond belief so please give us some of your secrets. Your little Daughter is just Gorgeous & shows so much happiness & excitement in the garden. Great Video Thank you. Cheers Denise- Australia
Thank you! Such an encouraging comment! Our soil has not always been beautiful...When we moved here, it was much more compacted and clay-like. We put on TONS of compost every year, only till about twice per season, and mulch heavily with leaves to keep weeds down and add organic matter. It's made a huge difference!
Do you buy bagged compost, bulk delivery, or make your own?
@@lauracondon5224 I am currently making my own but have had to buy some bags recently- where are you situated. Cheers Denise
@@lauracondon5224 I usually make my own but have recently bought some bagged. Where are you situated. Cheers Denise
Wow that's one SHINY pressure canner.
We got it new during covid 😏 We had been water bath canning mostly, and using Michelle’s mom’s pressure canner every now and then. The covid thing kinda kicked us in the pants to get our own. I think many of us did things like that during that time 😉
Try making a zapple pie sometime. Just make an apple pie using sliced zucchini instead of apple. Particularly good with patty pans since they're a little more firm, but I also make it with those stealthy giant zucchini that hides until they're huge.
Great idea! I've seen that done but never tried it before😊
I love zucchini crisp just use your apple pie filling recipe but I love cutting them in cubes instead of slices,they stay firmer
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Excellent video!
So down home pleasant to enjoy watching 😊
Thanks Tina!
Wow! The growing and harvesting is great! Teaching your children, that is awesome. I live in Alaska, not much of a cook, can't grow a plant to save my life, but for some reason, love watching cooking channels, the growing & harvesting.....just so awesome! I might not be able to grow & harvest anything, but at least inspires me to buy some stuff and try to freeze some stuff.....to start. Love these videos, thank you for sharing.
Haha 😂 It's not for everybody, but at least buying in bulk is a great way to start! That's how we started when we were living in an apartment. Glad you're here and enjoying the videos!
For your egg problem a battery vacuum works great I have a small 20v dewalt for vacuuming plants
That’s what we use for the bugs!
I love that Michelle uses her palm to measure. I do the same 😂
Haha...why wash a spoon if you don't need to😉
What I like about you is that we can follow suit bc we start with nothing.
I can't say enough good things about this video. WOW, wholesome, heart-warming, hopeful, inspiring....I'm at awe. Love it, hope you keep it up!
Very interesting. Lots of handy tips. Thank you!❤
You are so welcome!
We had so many pickling cucumbers this summer in San Jose. I think I put 30+ bags out for neighbors to pick up. Wish we could have traded for raspberries because the 3 raspberry starts we planted all died.
What a very nice tasty nourishing and economical harvest! Well-done.
Thank You!
Thank you for sharing your recipes!!!
I love watching your videos, beautiful harvest. Your daughter's excitement is priceless!
Just a thought, I noticed when storing the potatoes you'd have more space if he turned the crates with the opening showing using that space as well.
Great idea!
A recipe given by my aunt from PA Amish I believe is zucchini bread which is very good..similar to a coffee cake.Thanks for all the info you give and effort put into these. Very helpful🕊❤blessings
We do make zucchini bread 😊
I make a lot of egg cheese and zucchini muffins and they can be frozen too.
Your daughters excitment to be helping ger the potatoes is such a joy ❤
I like the tape the eggs smart idea
You guys are awesome
Nice that he didn't let the cat take the blame lol
Haha...I know.
I applaud all farmers. A heart for feeding people, 😊.
Thank you so much!
Your videos are getting better and better!!! Honestly the cimematography (is that the right word???) is great. And...wow 15k views in 15 hours!!! Keep up the good work!! Plus I am the number 100 comment!
Thanks! 😃 That was such an encouraging comment!
Nice potato harvest. If you turn your shelve upside down the potatoes won't roll off the edges.
Loved your awsome videos. Thankyou for your tips and all the time you took to make them for us. Great job guys.
Our pleasure!
The sweet potatoes look fantastic, and the peppers are so vibrant and healthy, it's no wonder you had to put them in cages to support their weight. The butternut squash also looks promising, and I'm glad you're getting a good harvest from them.
Thank you !
Wow guys I can wacht your video's FOR HOURSSSSS ..omg they are so fantastic ..I hace learnd so so much ... thabks so much for doing this ...I hope you grow massieve with your channel cos ITS REALLY GOOOOOOD ...God bless you
Thank you so much 😊 Glad you enjoy!
I just found you and Iam instantly hooked.
I always love seeing children helping with preserving the harvest. My brother and sister always ran and I’m the only one as a grown up preserves and stocks the pantry.
Love your videos. A note about the potato harvest. This year I planted potatoes the Ruth Stout method, no digging. To start with my seed potatoes from last year had grown foot long starts on them, so I didnt think they would do any good. I decided to give it a try. I placed the long starts sideways laying on the ground and covered them up with big round hay bales my husband had that were rotting. Covered with about 8 inches or more with hay. Maybe a 6x6 spot and crossed my fingers. We just harvest this past week and got 50# of almost effortless harvesting. With no hilling like in the past. Just pulled back the hay an had clean potatoes. Just wanted to share my experience with you. Keep up the great work and hello fro Mid Missouri!!!!
Thank you for the knowledge!
Excellent, if you are interested in the nature of Iran, we will be happy to follow us
Great stuff going on here. Pulling potatoes and other good vegetables. Love how the kids help out in all that you do.
Our country people in ROK eat steamed green pumpkins leaves on Ssamjang with rice.
Its yummy.
Sounds good!
Awesome 🇺🇸
Cool! Awesome harvest so far! I tried a few years to grow potatoes and didn't have much luck, will see this year, it doesn't look that good but will see! This fall I have to prepare my beds for next season, will see. If I could do it would be great, God willing will get better and be able to walk better and stand!🤗💞🤗 The little one was so cute, so excited! We need to be more like kids!🙏🙏
Praying for your health🙏And best wishes with your potatoes. We haven't always done well with them either, but as we build our soil, they are doing better.
WOW….I would love your recipe for zucchini relish!!!!!😮😊
Love your videos ❤those zucchini look amazing. Keep up the good work that so nice that you call your mama and ask her I bet that touches her heart knowing you are wanting to learn what she knows and probably your grandma. ❤
😊
Eden is so excited! 😂
I am impressed and inspired by you... would have loved to have you as neighbors... would have learned so much in real time. Keep it up and thank you foe sharing the knowledge.!!!
Have you ever tried trellising your squash? We did a cattle panel hoop garden and put the squash on it, so fun and it keeps them from rotting on the ground. The only problem I had was cross pollination. We did watermelon too close to the zucchini and ended up with zuchamelons. lol
😂 That's great. That's a neat idea.. not fond of the idea of needing to bag all the fruit though once they get heavy. Did you have an issue with that?
@@morethanfarmers nope, they grow stronger because they are hanging. I never had an issue with them breaking off. We had a huge pumpkin hanging and it was fine.
Thank you very much
You guys are such hard working family. Love your videos
I just found y'all on YT, loved the video about the tomato 'sauces' saw some tricks I did not know, so thanks. That idea of the potato racks is awesome! We've replaced so many of those with custom closet systems we built in our past houses used those wire shelves in more utility type situations and then moved the wire shelves with us 😊. I'll use this idea for my sweet potatoes. Turn the racks over, lip up, and nothing will roll off or get knocked off, FYI
Right on!
I'd really love to see more of your kids especially the little one involved more in those videos, she is so so so adorable.😘😘😘
Aw...I know. Unfortunately, we've decided that for safety purposes, we won't be having our kids out front in the videos. It's sad that our world has to be this way...They will be here and there in the background though😊
Love your channel! I just made those zucchini brownies and they are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your recipes and homestead life with us.
Awesome! Glad you like em 😊
Where’s her recipe??
Every video is inspirational from you guys!! Thanks!! We are only on year two of our garden and are having some major struggles. Our squash seems to be slowly dying mid production and our tomatoes have some type of fungus but watching you makes me hopeful it will be better in future years. I'd love to know how Michelle keeps up on all the weeding. I tried this year but the heat has been hard and the grass/weeds come up almost as fast as I pull them. God bless,
It is hard to keep up on weeds in new garden spaces. I noticed that if I kept up on the weeds and mulched well, you will have less weeds each year. The most important thing for me, if I didn't have time to weed, at least snap off the flowering tops so they wouldn't reseed.
Keep at it😊 New gardens are hard...It took us a few years to get our garden soil to where we were happy with it. Tons of compost, minimal tilling, and heavy leaf mulch have been the keys to our success. I keep the weeds down with leaf mulch...it mats down and suppresses the growth. My tomatoes have some blight too...they do every year. But I keep it at bay with a peroxide spray. Hoping to do some soil testing as well to give our plants the best nutrition to stay disease free. Gardening takes practice just like any other skill.
She is amazing! What a work horse
Central Florida I have Sweet potatoes we don't even dig the sweet potatoes up we use the greens like spinach stir-fry put them in green smoothie drink I've put Greens in my vegetables or with rice Etc
Interesting!
Great video, wonderful garden so impressed. To keep cats out of the garden use plastic forks or sticks from trees, forks tines up where ever you don't want them.
Great info. Plus nice editing too! I know that takes time as well.
Thank you 🤙🏻
more power to your video channel! Greetings from the land of smile Thailand!
Great music
I wish I grew up with someone that canned. My family grew up on fast food & food from a box. But my elderly neighbor has been teaching me to can 🙏😊
I love it! Love to see the experienced teaching the next generation. You are blessed😊
Love your videos!❤️
Would love to try your zucchini brownie recipe! 🙏 ❤
They're amazing😉The recipe is in the description!
Great abundance❗ and lovely preserving from the fruits of your garden💚 Thank you for Sharing~💛
You're welcome!
Love your content. Watching all of them. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
My husband and I love watching your videos . We have a small homestead .
I would love to have your recipes 😊. Do you have a cookbook ?
That looks so good!
Chef's secret- use a damp towel under cutting boards and mixing bowls. No slip or shifting around!
Great tip!
Loved it
I wanna live and learn with you guys. I want this lifestyle. Im just starting. But im doing garden boxes. Im very nervous about growing everything. 😂 you make it look kinda easy. And the canning. Im more nervous about. Lol
These are things we've learned over time. Give yourself some room. Good job getting started. Keep at it, and add a little more at a time. If it's what you go after, you'll get there!
It all looks so good. And your kids are learning valuable life skills.
Just love your show
Can you teach us how to preserve vegetables properly? The seasonings that we have to put in every vegetables and how long before it expires. :) Thank u for your life. God bless.
Enjoyed the video
Love your vids. Subscribed
Welcome aboard! 😁
Just found your stuff recently and I love the content! I live in kentucky and have a major problem with molds and pests as well.
I recently started planting Marigold and Calendula flowers among my plants to help attract pest control insects and pollinators
That’s cool!
Sweet! 🥳👍🏻
You inspire me!!
Oh, thank you!
Thank you guys for the informative video. I enjoyed it so much. I always look forward to your videos. Unfortunately, our potatoes are not yet ready to be harvested, and we will have shortfalls. The potato beetle was very active here. I wish you a nice week and good harvest weather. And thank you for the lovely recipe cards, you guys amazing
Sorry to hear about the potato beetles. Thankfully we haven't been bothered by them yet.
Harvested my very first potatoes some weeks back and hooked for life 😊
Yay! There's nothing like it😉
Beautiful vlog 👌❤️
Thank you 😊
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
So my biggest question is: do you ever get a break from the gardening? Like do you just eat off your canned stuff during the winter? I’m new to this
Yes.. Watch some of our recent videos 😊 We garden in Spring and Summer, and preserve the food to eat in the winter!
Can I swap out AP flour for spelt flour? Love your channel!
The bean harvest 😮
I roast zucchini’s (courgettes) sliced in a little olive oil, black pepper and garlic powder.
I love how canning seems to be an American thing. It can be daunting, but I like learning from UA-cam. So thank you guys for that. I also watch other people doing this, but I love the advice you guys have.
Do you have a website/ blog with recipes?
No recipe blog. Glad to hear that's something you would be interested in. Also that sounds like an AMAZING way to eat zucchini 😋
Can you do some videos sharing some of your recipes for canning/cooking/baking with your garden produce?
