Good morning Ruth-Ann
I’m a 60 year old woman and I’ve learned more from you since finding your channel than you will ever know. And I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Looking forward to this seasons adventures in the garden! God is good!🙏❤️
Yep! I'm 60 yrs young and also have learned so much and so enjoy the videos too! Makes life so fun listening to her video while I'm doing canning and farm work!
I’ve always just cut out the spots on my trees. I’m so excited to try this, but my trees are done blooming already. Bummer
Absolutely agree. Love your channel
Amen 🙏🏽!
Same! God is absolutely good! Hallelujah
"Mom was right" famous words of every adult daughter. ❤
A favorite saying I once read is that by the time you realize your mother was right, you have a daughter who thinks you are wrong. LOL God bless!
When my daughter became a mother, she would call and apologize if she thought she’d done the same thing her daughter did. Lol
Oops. I think that’s a jicama.
❤️
And grown son.
A 100+ year old friend taught me this recipe for my orchard trees. In gallon jugs prepared like yours, place 1 banana peel, 1/2 gallon water, 1/2 c sugar, and 1/2 c vinegar~works great!
I will try this one
I will try this one too, thankyou!
Thankyou❤
Hi I am going to try your moth trap next year……..just curious do you still find wormy fruit
since using the traps?
I just wanted to compliment you on the quality of your filming, it's beautiful.
I wish I had known this before my hundreds of peaches were ALL filled with worms. But maybe next year. I thank you ❤
Your channel is beyond awesome and amazing and so are you
Don't give up!!
Maxwell is wonderful with the animals. He is a sweet young man.
I loved that time of year when they (the cows) kicked up their heels once they were turned out to green pasture! Such joy!
Hello RuthAnn and sweet family! Excellent information for the fruit trees so many people can learn from. The recipe for the Codiling Moth that destroys fruit trees is a great organic way to control the reproduction and keep the fruit organic without spraying chemicals.
1 clear gallon milk jug that’s been cleaned out. Cut a window in the jug opposite of the handle high up and just below the shoulder of the jug.
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup blackstrap molasses
1/2 Teaspoon ammonia
2 cups water
Tie jugs as high as you can reach with a sturdy cloth like a t-shirt onto the limbs of the fruit trees.
Hang the traps before, during or after your fruit tree blooms. Leave traps to hang until you harvest the fruit. If the liquid in the jug dries out, just add more water to reactivate the ingredients again.
The ducklings are so cute and the boys are enjoying them and kittens too.
Spring is such a beautiful time with all the new babies on the farm and cattle are happy to have fresh grass to eat.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!
Thank you for the coddling moth ANTI recipe
@@janew5351 just thought it might help someone that has trouble writing or typing, maybe just print it off if they can.
I’m writing this recipe down too! Any substitutions for ammonia? It’s the only ingredient I’m missing…
@@jengerbrandt9574 Bleach
Does bleach work as well as ammonia? Or is it best to use the ammonia?
I love your humbleness sharing we all have to learn from practicing. We all can’t be instant experts from reading one book or watching one video. Improving our skills is a life time job and you share that perfectly! ❤❤
Absolutely!!
@@Ruthannzimm Is the reply to my comment a few up legit? Or is that a spammer.? I didn't see that anyone else got a 'winner' reply. I'm just cautious.
We buy our seedlings from a precious, joyous amish couple just down our road💚 and yes, God IS good. Always.
Your flowering branches in the crock is lovely. So spring-like. This would make me smile with my heart each time I saw it.
my favorite part is the cows running to pasture, especially jumping for joy!!
Good morning Ruthann! Thank you for always having such good tips on gardening, baking, cleaning and sharing your beautiful family with us.
I was surprised to see you prune in the Spring! My dad always did pruning in the Fall so the sap would not be up in the tree! Perhaps our area or your area makes a difference. We live in Western North Carolina, but I would think your weather would be colder than ours. I so very much enjoy your videos. I'm 76 and have still learned so much from you! You are my favorite UA-cam videos other than the preachers I watch!! How I wish I could go back and know what I do from you!! I love you and your family! So sweet!!
I am from Western North Carolina also and we always pruned in the fall so the sap would be down.
I always wondered how to trim fruit trees. The amount of knowledge you have is amazing. Teaching your children is so very important. Your giving them life-saving skills.
Another jam packed half hour full of little tidbits of knowledge! Thank you RuthAnn. And hearing you at the end brought me back to hearing my grandmother.... 60 years ago!
Two c water
One c acv

I love how loving your children are to the animals. They have such good hearts.
God IS good! I am 75 years old and it is getting harder for me to work in my garden since I have back issues, but I’m still trying. I get such enjoyment out of watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. You are such a blessing.
Good Morning Ruthann and family, your cows where so excited to be out getting fresh grass,I got tickled at them running , thank you for sharing part of your life with us , you amaze me, I love the way you teach us, your fruit trees are beautiful, I love the beautiful apple blossoms they look beautiful in your home and beautiful on your trees. I am so sorry I did not get to participate in the challenge for the mixer and dehydrator I do not have a Instagram I just have a UA-cam channel, I may have to open a Instagram account so I can learn more from you. Thank you every Saturday morning you brighten my day with your calming voice and I know I will be learning something new, you are an amazing lady that is full of Gods love and grace. Thank you!!
Ditto, I don't have, nor want an Instagram account either. Sigh.
It was so good to meet you at the women's homestead society confrence. Thank you for your suggestion on my teenage daughter. Such a blessing❤
You are so welcome!
When your daughter can accept the Trump way of life, that would be good. 😕
Ruth-Ann I don’t think you have any idea of the magnitude & helpful content your videos provide to so many people!! I love your recipes and especially your helpful advice on practical things a person needs to know to have a successful homestead. Yours is the first I’ve ever seen on an organic recipe for killing the moths. And also teaching how to prune fruit trees! This one video has made our year. We recently bought a home with a lot of sad looking fruit trees. We had a small harvest, but a lot of worms. Didn’t want to spray pesticides so was at a loss as what to do. So a huge thank you for giving us our answer!! We are looking forward to a better harvest this year now!! I’ve learned so much from you and that is saying something as I have quite a lot of knowledge. God bless you & your family! God is so good, ALL the time.
Good morning Ruthann - From your Nebraska neighbor. I enjoy your videos and just found you about a month ago. Thank you for your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you!
Welcome!!! So glad to have you here!!!
I really enjoy your videos and even think of you as my new friend. It’s lovely how you can teach and mother simultaneously. You are blessed. Thank you for all you do to teach us the old ways and good things about homesteading. I’m a city girl and needed these videos more than most possibly. 😘
What a beautiful morning shot! God is so Good ❤️
I like all the live plants inside your house 🌿🌱
I love to see fruit trees blooming in spring. The delicate colors and the scent are just a promise of the fruit to come.
Good morning. It is very early in Vegas. Still recovering from rotator cuff surgery and not sleeping well. No fruit trees now but grew up with trees and vines. Miss/don’t miss spring pruning.
Love the videos!
Making candy today! Or at least trying to!
Thank you!!! I pray you heal faster than normal!!!
I had hand surgery a few weeks ago so l hear you! Hi from Canada 🇨🇦 😊
If you do summer pruning (instead of late Winter/Spring pruning) and just bend those suckered out of the branch, you will have less suckering. Also, if you prune a branch out, but down to the collar of the branch, do not leave stubs, or even little stubs. You can see the rings that indicate the collar. When you leave a stub the tree cannot decompartmentalize (cover the wound) and the stub will rot and rot into the trunk.
Love the kids out and helping!
Fruit, there is a natural clay you spray the fruit trees with, once the fruit has started to form. James piggioni ( food forest) has a videos about it. Apparently it just makes them less tasty to bugs, but we can wash it off. Just offering the idea.
Kaolin clay?
@@DancingWatersAnCoFOBThank You so much
Love to see cows jumping around with excitement when they're going out to fresh pasture!!!!
I want to thank you Ruth for the recipe on the fruit tree bug juice! We just made a new batch and hung them up on our peach tree and apple tree. They were so full of the bugs. That was Sunday afternoon when my husband changed them and he checked tonight and a bunch more are in it! Thank you very much!
I did this after watching you. I have 2 pear trees. Only 1 has produced fruit so far
I hung one in my tree that blossomed. Ive caughted moths in it. Thank you so much!
How well trained your milk cow is! No stanchion and patient enough for the kids to milk
Those "kids" look like pros to me!🤣
♥️♥️♥️
Dear Ruth Ann, Another idea is to tie a ribbon around the branches that have leafed out that you can tell will never bear fruit, but then prune them in the early spring BEFORE the tree leafs out, since that tree will have expended lots of energy in the spring to grow them. Blessings on your 2024 harvest!
Thanks for the tip!
If you bend the suckers out of their socket when theyvare young, they will not grown back, and never leave small stumps unless you want a branch to grow in a certain direction, because they will resprout, and the stump will dry and harbor desease. Winter pruning creates more water spouts than summer pruning.
Ruth Ann, thank you for sharing your many gifts and talents with all of us and most especially me! You have such a wonderful way of teaching in a way that breaks your lessons down in such a simple and basic way that makes it more easy for me to understand. You have a gift to remove the "fluff" (if you will) and break whatever you teach me at the very least what I had sometimes found difficult! You've given me so much confidence to dig in and tackle things that I had anxiety to start. I.e. pruning my fruit trees! canning, gardening, farm animals, baking, and the list goes on...
So in short Im sending you a heart felt thank you from me to you friend
Wishing you and your's great love and happiness, peace, health, and contentment ❣️😇
Thank you for these words!!!! I appreciate you!!!
I look forward to saturday so that I can watch what's new on the homestead! Thank you! I appreciate all the things you teach us!
Ruthann you have made tree pruning so much easier for me to do now. Many many thanx.
Do you think homemade apple cider vinegar will work?
Ps should u add this mixture on peach trees, too?
Thanks for this video.
I have an old (maybe 40+ years) apple tree that's slowly dying. A hummingbird still perches on a dead branch when we eat dinner outside. I don't quite want to cut off the dead branches yet and really don't want to take the tree down. But i have planted a replacement tree so I'll be ready.
Good morning in the beautiful springtime. Where everything is coming alive. Its such a beautiful time to see everything coming into bloom and the enjoyment from the animals, and we the people as well. Great fruit tree maintenance on trimming as well as getting rid of the pest. Love all the new births of the animals. Happy planting. Yes absolutely God is good.
Good morning to you too!!!!
I am 72 and I have learned. Thanks .Judy
79 here, and I too have learned so much!! Thank you thank you❤
What a very helpful video, thank you, Ruthanne!! We "inherited" 2 apple trees and a pear tree when we moved to this house. The trees had been planted, I assume, when the house was built in 1976, and had not been pruned in a very long time. We get the coddling moths pretty bad. Last year was the first time we got any kind of apple harvest, so I took advantage, and didn't have to buy any apples! The pear tree is very good. It produces such huge, juicy, sweet pears, that we get many more than we need most years. This year, we decided to get some new trees to go along with the existing ones: 2 dwarf apple trees, a semi-dwarf peach, and a standard plum. We hope to keep them ALL pruned! We too want to rely less on the grocery. We do have a local farmers market at a bulk food store owned by a German Baptist family. It is very nice to have that to fall back on when something in my garden doesn't produce. But we don't know, any of us, what tomorrow holds. They all might need to keep their harvests to feed family or those in need. ETA: today would have been my parents' 62nd anniversary. They were married in the living room of the home I grew up in, and my mother carried a bouquet of apple blossoms that one of my brothers cut for her❤
Beautiful sunrise, then seeing Dave enjoying himself while rolling in the dirt - so glad to see him doing well! Very interesting information on the preventative for moth worm control. Please tell Harrison that I like his new haircut 💙 I saw that Winston got to go along with the trip to your sister's greenhouse Those flowering apple branches look absolutely gorgeous in your home, and I bet they smell good too! I love that you pronounced "God is Good" in German. I would love to someday learn at least some Pennsylvania Dutch. Thank you as always for your delightful videos!
🥰 thank you for watching!! And I wondered if anyone would notice the Pa Dutch ‘God is Good’
@@Ruthannzimm gut gemacht!🌼
You look like you got a little sunburn today, too! Still beautiful though. Ironically, today was the day we had pruning class and they explained about how the coddling moths are after the seeds but have to go through the fruit first. The seeds release a hormone to keep the fruit on the tree, once the seeds are gone or damaged the fruit rots faster.
Good morning I'm enjoying your vast knowledge here thank you for sharing with us
I love watching your videos while cooking breakfast!
Maybe i missed this tidbit, but do the moth traps also catch bees or other pollinators? We have bee hives in our orchard and don’t want to risk killing them.
Thanks for sharing!
I love your videos. I was born in Iowa and my soul is still there. I love your gardens!! You are amazing. If you don’t mind, I would like to comment on just one thing. You really do not need music in the back ground of your videos. Just the natural sounds of the farm is so pleasing and relaxing, it is all you really need. THANK TOU for your wonderful videos and sharing your life.
I love those sounds of nature.
I actually love Ruth Ann’s background music. Sometimes I don’t on other channels but for some reason that happy little tune just makes me think of their beautiful farm and family.
I grew up with 2 apple trees in our yard. Mom didn’t store any but made plenty of butter, jelly, sauce and pies. Organic so yes, blemishes and worms here and there. Best pies ever❤
I loved seeing your cows jumping and running towards the paster
Wow, the wind was blowing! Ruth ann thanks again for sharing great information pruning fruit trees. I wish you were my neighbour homestead farmer! God bless you!
Good Morning! Wait every Saturday morning for your video❤😊
Good morning to you too!!! So happy to have you here!!!
@@Ruthannzimm This was a great video! I have apple and pear trees that need this! Thank you so much for the great info. I live in western NY small town.😊❤️
You could also root those for more trees 😊
I’m excited to see what your new building is going to be.
You're one of my favorites, too. I love Saturday UA-cam shows because you're there. I bless yoh.
I don't know how I missed this one!
Such GREAT information and I will DEFINITELY be doing this next spring.
Thank you Zimmerman's! From grateful Minnesota viewers ❤
I look forward to your videos each week. I started pressure canning last year. I will soon be 73 yrs old. Lol. Better late than never. I'm planning to do your baked beans soon. I am going to add a few chopped jalapenos to mine. Thank you for your inspiration. God bless ♥️
That is awesome!
Thank you for taking us along again this week! I enjoyed so much seeing the cows run and jump! ❤ xo
Glad you enjoyed! The happy cows are my favorite too
Love your videos, you made me get up and go trim my fruit trees today. And make that mix for my trees. Thanks❤😂
Your cows were literally kicking up their feet with joy to be in the green field of grass and brought a big smile to my face...
Thanks for the recipe of solution to protect fruit trees from wormy fruit. I do not like to spray for health reasons, expense and time. I will be trying this! Thanks so very much!!
I wish i could give you a million like buttons !! Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
I love the imagination of those boys! Picking up branches: 'I borrowed a crane' lol. They are hard working guys! The recipe for those moths and tree trimming tips are a bonus! Your backround music is always so cheery..and i look forward to hearing on every video 😊
Thanks for your kind words and your support!!!
Ruthanne, you look so cute standing there being blown around by the winds, but smiling, holding a bouquet of flowers and “acting natural.” Also I can see how patient you are, when your vases kept being knocked down, and you just picked them up over and over.
Lucky you! You don't have deer wrecking your trees. I have to put wire fences in a circle around every tree for many years as they rub their antlers on the trunks,break the branches, and strip the bark . Very annoying! Will try your recipes for moth prevention!
Awww happy cows so adorable . Seeing so happy . GODBLESS sweetie
Thank you for giving me the courage to start pruning our trees. That has always intimidated me.❤️
You can do it!
Spring is just the best. Everything coming back to life, even us. It lifts my spirits so much. ❤Thank you for another informative, inspiring video. I was smiling so big watching the cows be so happy to go outside. 😁💝🙏
Ruth Ann, will you show us what the jug loos like when you harvest or when there is no need for the jugs anymore? Please.
God is good! I saw you had your precious. What a blessing. 🙏🍎🍏😇
I checked the morning After hanging and had already captured moths!! I’ll continue to show!!!
@Ruthannzimm so cool, I know it sounds gross that I would like to see the end result, but I would like to see how many fall for your trap..
Thank you for showing how to prune your fruit trees, Ruthann, as I bought 2 new plum trees last year, and I need to prune them now. They've grown a LOT, and both have lots of suckers both at the bottom and growing on the branches. I always learn something useful from your videos, and your youngest boys are getting so grown-up! 💖
So glad it was helpful!!!
I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to get this recipe on how to keep my apple trees and my neighbors and my friends apple trees and and other fruit trees free of worms I have always wanted to do this and didn't know how to keep them out I am so thrilled. I so look forward to all of your videos. God bless you and all of your family such a beautiful family
Wonderful!
If you dont have access to milk jugs (you should check recycling centers, bakeries, and restaurants) then you could ask an auto repair shop for windshield washer fluid jugs. Rinse very well and they should be safe enough for this use. The jugs will only last one or two years on the sun.
We just purchased fruit trees....this is perfect! Now I know how to trim and the recipe to keep the moths at bay! Thanks....your the best!!
Loved this video! God bless.❤ 32:02
Those cows were so happy to see green grass again. Running cows make me laugh. Thanks, Ruth Ann.
Thank you for your generosity with us. I have a small orchard here in Northern NJ. And every year have a bit of problems with pests.
I am going to recreate your organic solutions for pest control.
I pray you have a productive orchard and garden.
May the Lord keep blessing us with food, family and love of neighbor.
God Bless.
I love how happy the cows were - I never thought I would use this word for cows, but they were actually FROLLICING!!! So cool!
Yes. It’s my favorite!!!
Yes, God is good!
Thank you so much for the information. Especially the valuable information on how to keep moth worms out of your apples. I can't wait till your next video. Also, those baby ducks were so cute!
Love the animals - South Africa
Welcome!!!!
1 c apple cidar vinegar, 1/3 c dark molasses, 1/2 tsp ammonia or bleach, 2 c water. Thank you so much. I think our apples in KS are already too big in size to interrupt this moth cycle but will definitely use next year! Your info is always helpful to me. God bless!😊
I put maggot barriers on my apples. It’s a lot more work, but it also has more success. I buy them from Raintree Nursery. I put the. On when the apples are about an inch in diameter.
Oh how I love seeing those cows happy!!! The running around and kicking up their heels was awesome to see! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s my favorite too!!!
So nice to see those cows almost dancing for joy when they got out on pasture!
I enjoy your channel so much. I discovered it last summer and have enjoyed it thoroughly since. Wonderfully calming and informative viewing.
Thank you Ruthanne for sharing your farm experiences with us! Brings back precious memories of our farm beginnings (1967) with chickens and sweet Muscovy ducks with brood! And yes kittens in the hay! We had everything but cows LOL! Blessings on your family and your homestead!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿 Yes... God is good all the time! Amen!
You are so welcome!
Always a pleasure to see the goings-on of your week.
Some of your filming scenes were breathtakingly beautiful. They reminded me of old paintings from the early masters. Blessings from Ireland, although I’m in Spain on holiday ❤🙏🇮🇪
Thank you for showing how to prune the fruit trees and protect them from moths. We are considering planting some apple trees this year and this is great information to have at the start. It's always fun to see the kids and animals just being themselves on the farm. I think ducklings are the cutest of all the baby animals and as a child was always thrilled when we had some. Wish we had some land where we could raise chickens and ducks now. Your videos always leave me with a smile on my face and joy in my heart. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge. I agree with you completely - God is Good!
Thank you for starting your day with us!!!
I cannot tell you enough how much I enjoy your video's - I look so forward to each one - they make me happy! You and your family are a joy!
Saturday to me means I get to watch your new video. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with everyone. My garden is overrun with pill bugs this year, they ate cabbage at the ground level then moved to peas. I don’t use insecticides and never thought my main pest would be pill bugs. They are in the thousands under grow bags and ceramic flower pots.
Love watching your precious family. God bless and keep you
Thank you so much. I have a couple of trees in bloom now and neef pruning so badly. It is very helpful to know that it's not to late to prune or put preventative jugs in the trees. I was thinking of diatomaceous powder, but do not want to get in my lungs. Your information is so valuable. You are my favorite channel for lifting the spirit. You have a beautiful way about you. May God continue to bless you and your family in Jesus Christ's name.
Thanks so much for the fruit tree recipe!!! No more worms!!!! YEA!!!
I really enjoyed that. Thank you. I will do the codling moth jugs this year and see how it goes. Greetings from Johannesburg 🙏
All the time! And all the time God is good!!😊
May I ask for prayers? And May I tell you how much you are helping me? I’m sick and watching your family is just so calming and they are precious, so thank you! And God bless y’all! Hugs from Texas!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👑💕🕊🙏🏻🥰🌷
Awe. God bless you!! May his healing power surround your body with peace!!
@@Ruthannzimm Amen!🙏🏻💕🌷🌷🌷😭
Interesting to see that the coddling moth life cycle varies in different parts of the country. Several years ago, I had a little orchard in western Oregon. There, the first generation of coddling moth overwintered in debris under the tree and would crawl up the trunk to pupate. The most effective control method I found was to move the chickens to the orchard in late fall to clean up dropped fruit and debris, making it more difficult for the larva to overwinter. I put the chickens back in the orchard in early spring so that any larva that did over winter would be eaten. This significantly reduced the first generation, which made subsequent generations smaller as well. Also, OSU Extension had a degree day calculator on their web site that helped predict the first emergence. This helped me to know when to move the chickens into the orchard in the spring.
I’ve always left our fruit for the deer not wanting to spray. Today I’ll join you and reap our knowledge with you. 😊 Love to you and yours from me and mine ❤
Thanks Ruth-Ann this is just the info I needed! I am 67 and learning from you all the time. I will now have more confidence and knowledge to trim our fruits trees on the farm. Already did some during morning chores lol this is great-did not know you could do this while the trees are blooming. Love your channel-Happy Spring to you and your family. Darlene
Very interesting. I have been trying to find info on pruning. These days not many people knows much about pruning. Thanks dear.
I’ve never seen happier cows! I hope you will give an update on how well the moth traps worked Ruthanne. Thanks for the info! 💖🦋🌺
Your Saturday morning posts are something I look forward to after a long work week. Thank you so much for sharing your home and family with us. I wonder if this pest control method would work on my peach trees. I live here in the Deep South and we have problems with worms in our peaches. I may give this a try next year.
How interesting! I'm an old woman who will probably only purchase what apples or other fruit I use, but this video was very informative especially for anyone contemplating growing apples or pears etc. Thank you for sharing your wealth of info. God is so good!
Excellent video! I learn a lot from these videos! God is Great!!
