I love buying damask napkins or table clothes or whatever and cutting them up and sewing them to make drawer sachets using lavender from the garden. I loved the sound of the birds in the background. I hope you’re feeling better 🙂
Yes! Nothing like opening drawers to the smell of lavender! The birdies are lovely aren’t they! I’m on the mend praise Jesus! Thanks for coming along friend ❤️☺️
Your garden is so,so beautiful and so many healthy veggies. Love it. Happy harvest
♥️🧓😘
Thank you so much ☺️
Take care of yourself
Such a BEAUTIFUL harvest! This is such a blessing to your home and I always love to see the hard work pay off!
I love the beautiful flower and butterfly shots at the beginning of your video! -Cara
I’m loving the sound of your dear Grant’s voice! He’s so smart! Such a precious lad.
Don’t blink!
Thank you so much! He is such a sweet boy and I’m smitten! Time is flying ❤️❤️❤️
I make a raw beetroot salad with a yogurt dressing which is delicious, l shred it on the mandolin, l also add a green shredded apple and some Asian white radish.
Ohhh I’ll have to try this, sounds delicious! Thank you ☺️
What a beautiful harvest Kelsey! The surprise of the potatoes is a bonus blessing! It seemed like such a beautiful day to be outside. I’m curious if when you ‘dry’ your herbs are you air drying them or using the freeze dryer or dehydrator? Perhaps you choose the drying method based on how you plan to use them?
I hope you‘ve been able to get some rest and are feeling better.
Thank you for sharing the harvest with us. May the Lord’s blessing be poured out on you and the garden!
Thank you sweet friend! It was such a beautiful day, I’m so glad I was able to enjoy it before the sickness hit. My preference with drying herbs is always the freeze dryer for retaining the most healing properties. If the freeze dryer is full I will either dehydrate in the dehydrator or hang dry, I treat them the same.
"Tending his creation". See, that's what the bible says.
But most people, Christians included, believe nature is there for them to extract, extract, extract!
Glad you think of tending to creation.
Yes! I totally agree ❤️❤️❤️
I wished I could send you some of our rain. It has rained more days this month than not. The farmers can’t get in their fields.
Oh no! If only we could all get just the right amount of everything!
What a beautiful harvest.
Thank you for talking about how you plan on using the items in your garden. Some of these things are new to some of us. It helps us to grow and learn about different things.
Our potatoes do not grow well in Houston. We are lucky to get that many from the whole garden but we still try every year 😊
I struggle to grow certain things too but I always end up trying again, it so much fun to try and you just never know how it will turn out!
Ohhh your girl holding the chicken 😭💕💕💕
How do you keep your cucumbers fresh untill there are enough to p8ckle please xx
Crisper drawer in the fridge! With the amount of plants I have at the beginning of the season I usually have enough for a batch within a week or so. If I don’t I’ll make a small batch of refrigerator pickles!
Beautiful video in every sense. 💚🌱🌸
Thank you so much ☺️
I always find your harvest videos inspiring. I am in Zone 5B in central Ontario, a few weeks behind you. It helps me look forward to what I will be harvesting soon! Also, it's good to know that a veteran gardener like you can still struggle with pests, it gives me hope that a novice like me isn't entirely responsible for the cucumber beetles and other pests that won't go away! It's not me, it's them... Thanks again for posting such a beautiful video. Your daughter with the chickens.... lovely...
Oneof these days hopeto do this well! How in the world did you get a.beet n summer?
Ive ever had any issues with beets in summer actually!
Don't you have a potato fork to dig them with? If not, you need to get one and dig the deep ones out. You are just scratching the surface. Love your videos. Beet pickles are really yummy. Putting your used, dried coffee grounds in the row when you plant and/or crushed eggshells help with some pests.
Your garden is gorgeous. Such a blessing. The best thing for any illness ive found is oil of oregano. I make an olive oil infusion. Leave it for a month orbso then strain. I use it on the littles feet when theyre sick. A dropper mixed with coconut oil because it's a hot oil. On the soles of the feet before bed. Always knocks everything out overnight. Feel better!
I am still having some potatoes from last years harvest, but no more space to plant them.
Can they get planted next year or can't they be stored that long?
They're growing roots, if I can't plant them - what else could I do with them?
I made strawberry lemonade concentrate. Lately its been so hot i used up all but two pints to quench thirst and make popsicles. I will definitely can more concentrate next year.
Yum! That’s a good one!
You are a very good gardener and Pennsylvania seems to be a much easier place to garden in than the high desert of SW Idaho!
Thank you! The climate here is pretty forgiving!
Do you have to replant your lavender every year? I’m wondering if it overwinters outside and comes back?
Out here in Central Texas the baby potatoes cost more than a lage bag of any of the varieties of potatoes. Last i looked it was $5 for a tiny mesh bag of baby potatoes. They are delicious though.
You two are awesome you are not afraid to try anything and you do great at everything thing you do. I can't wait to see the finished grow room full of seedlings..
Love watching you enjoying your garden, very relaxing. Your presentation as usual is beautiful. Great harvest! Here in MN I am having to get my early garlic pulled this weekend due to nonstop rain and flooding. It is hard to describe to others the satisfaction and pride of growing our own food and herbs. What variety of calendula did you plant? The colors are so different than what I have. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!
Thank you so much! It is hard to describe! Such a satisfaction though, and then to fill the pantry with it?? Nothing like it! I have a sunrise mix and snow princess calendula from baker creek!
Oh....please take of yourself my friend .we need you !!....Kathy
Your photography is wonderful! God is already blessing you with a wonderful harvest.
Thank you so much! ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️
Have you thought about freeze drying the potatoes and turning them into potato flakes?
How many raspberry plants do you have?
Do you have issues with them spreading?
How much do you harvest?
Do you weigh them like you did the strawberries?
Do they grow fast?
What should I expect?
I just added them this year to the garden when they were on sale from MiGardener. It was a super spur of the moment impulse purchase.
I bought 2 of;
Double gold
Anne
Royalty purple
One of the double gold and one of the Anne died. Still have 4 more though.
I’m fairly newish to all the gardening. I have however managed to successfully grow a good sized garden for 3 years (this is my 3rd year) and decided to add fruit this year. My blueberries are struggling 🤦🏻♀️, blackberries seem fine, 30 strawberries that are thriving but I love raspberries. So I really want to succeed at those (not that I don’t want everything to thrive). They seem to be doing well. 🤷🏻♀️. I just haven’t had time to really dig into the research as I’m still teaching myself canning. I’m definitely a jump in head first holding all my eggs and hope for the best type of person. 😂 you win some and you loose some 😂🤷🏻♀️.
You probably already made a video on this huh? 🤔 imma go look.
@brandymurphy6373 I planted new raspberry plants last year and they struggled and some died. This year they are doing well, but not bearing much, I think I need to give them more water. I expect them to bear a lot more next year. And, yes, they do spread.
@@cynthiafisher9907 I want them to spread (especially since some died.) I have them in my main garden so they get watered almost daily (sometimes I’m lazy) in my dream world I’d have a whole lot more plants. I have a few elderly neighbors who garden but don’t have any berries. I’d like to be able to grow enough that when they no longer are able to garden I’ll be advanced enough to keep them up with fresh berries, canned jellies, jams an syrups. Or anything else that they want. Id like to be able to have enough to share with whomever is in need whether it be a new plant, fresh or something I’ve already processed. Thank you so much for responding as I can use any help offered 😂
@@brandymurphy6373 You’re welcome and I applaud your heart and effort!
I’m not sure where you live, but you might want to do some research on a new pest called Spotted Wing Drosophila. It lays its eggs in soft fruits, of which I have many. It lays its egg and the fruit starts to decompose. just finished spraying my tart cherries with Spinosad to try to control it. I found out this year that I need to spray every 5-6 days and rotate between three different types of chemical. Very frustrating, but last year I lost almost all my cherries. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, maybe you don’t have it in your area.
Ok so I started off with:
8 canes of Joan J
4 canes Anne
4 canes Double Gold
2 canes Purple Royalty
They spread like wildfire, seriously it’s ridiculous. I’m finding them pop up everywhere!
The first year I got a few handfuls, the second I harvested 15 gallons!
I went by volume instead of weight because I would just pop em on a tray and in the freezer and keep adding to gallon freezer bags.
They grow fast and are pretty hardy.
They need lots of support if you don’t already have that.
I cut mine back in the winter, though you can leave some canes for a small early summer harvest(what I did this year) by cutting them back you’ll get a big late summer harvest. With the varieties you gave this should be fine. They are all ever bearing/fall bearing.
Blueberries are finicky, the soil has to be just right, you can always test the ph! I throw some soil acidifier down each spring and mulch well.
You’ve got this! ❤️
Pretty rooster! I love seeing happy chickens. I made borscht with the beets from Dad's garden. Wonder if the dinosaur kale was unintentionally a trap crop that kept the pests from your Scotch kale?
I need to try borscht! That’s a good thought! Perhaps that’s what happened!
I sprinkled used coffee grounds around my lacinato kale - it was also decimated by pests. Since sprinkling the coffee grounds all the new growth has been damage free! Fingers crossed I'm able to get some to harvest :)
Interesting! I’ll try that! Thank you ☺️
The potatoes are delicious, I like them.
I am still having some potatoes from last years harvest, but no more space to plant them.
Can they get planted next year or can't they be stored that long?
They're growing roots, if I can't plant them - what else could I do with them?
Will you have a bed opening up in enough time to plant and harvest around d your last frost date? I’ve never tried to keep potatoes longer than a year, they so I can’t speak to keeping them longer, but it wouldn’t hurt to try!
I am lucky number 580. Sorry I'm late... Hugs from Esquimalt
No worries friend! Thanks for hanging out ☺️❤️
great harvest, enjoy friend. We have been eating lettuce from ours. So far so good. We have tomatoes coming in but they are green.
Thank you! Such an exciting time in The garden ☺️ blessings ❤️
You can use the green tomatoes too
I've harvested beets and garlic. Cherry tomatoes are ripening now and the beans are starting. Lettuce and snow peas have succumbed to the heat.
So fun! I just pulled my lettuce and will pull my peas soon!
What a blessing to have the volunteer potatoes. My goodness they produced well!
So fun and unexpected!
Hey @Just-Nikki I’m harvesting milky oat tops and starting the tincture! Do you mash the tops at all to open them up before tincturing? Is that necessary? No idea if you’ll see this or not 😂
@@seedandsparrowhomestead lol, I do smash them a little bit, I don’t know that it’s necessary but I am happy with my results so I keep doing it. Good luck! It’s been very beneficial for us and I very much hope it works as well for you.
@@Just-Nikkiyou’re the best! Thanks for the input!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead no problem! That’s what community is for 😀
Are you home-educating? Your children are gorgeous. Good job, Mama!
Yes we are! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
You need a pitch fork to loosen your soil.
you are such a lucky girl to harvest all that produce. have you made a video on making your tinctures?
I did make a video a few months back but I’ll be incorporating more in my harvest preservation videos upcoming! Thanks for coming along! ❤️☺️
This was the first year I planted strawberries and we got several which was more than I expected but I can't wait until next year. It's also the first year on my blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. I got 2 blueberries this year.
You can also make a numbing gargle with the toothache plant for sore throats
Ohhh didn’t think about that! Thank you!!! ☺️ ❤️
How big are your strawberry beds?
Omg I'm first for something 😂❤
Yay! Hey friend! ❤️
Awesome video 📹 😊❤ your amazing 😊😊
Thanks so very much! ☺️❤️
Very nice layout ❤
Do you let your potatoes flower or pick off the flowers?
I haven’t ever picked flowers, I’ve had fantastic harvests leaving the plants alone ☺️
Beautiful 😅
Beautiful photography and music. Therapy watching your vlogs.
Aww thank you so much! I’m glad they are enjoyed! ❤️
That was a beautiful reminder of why I love to garden - for my body and mind! Did you have fresh potatoes for supper? I would have as nothing beats the taste of a just pulled, home grown potato boiled with butter and salt YUM!
❤️❤️❤️ yes! Nothing like fresh taters from the earth!
Beautiful, wonderful, lovely harvest, Kelsey! Enjoy all of those goodies!
Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyed 😊 Beautiful harvest 🌹 Beautiful Babies. GOD Bless ❤️
Aw thank you so much! ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️
