At Home with Ruth McKeaney | Country Gardens, Gorgeous Window Box Design Ideas, Shortbread Recipes

[@ruthwuebbeling9584]

I look forward to new episodes of Ruth's beautiful home and gardens. I ordered Ruth's Hungry for Home book and it is not only a delightful complication of delicious recipes but also lovely photos of the farm through the seasons. I collect cookbooks and this book is one of my favorites. Thanks, Ruth for sharing your home with all of us.

[@jennieforcum5396]

I love her book, too! Well done!

[@hadrianwall-r7h]

compilation?

[@J24606]

Love…ty for having Ruth share her life with us all. 😊

[@lisaangstadt-wysocki3809]

@Ruth, my best friend is from Wales, UK and she has the lovely accent. Everyone loves listening to her. She is also a fabulous gardener. Her flower gardens are 6 ft deep around her entire home. So beautiful. She is now living in Berks County, PA. I was from Berks County all of my life, now living in Sussex Cty, DE. I enjoy watching your videos, jotting down your recipes, until I was able to buy your book.

[@crystalwake9838]

I love every time they feature Ruth. She really needs her own show. I will be ordering her cookbook.

[@vppraiseandworship8490]

I will always jump at the chance to watch a show that has Ruth McKeaney! I have your cookbook, Ruth! The Short bread recipe is one of my favorites!

[@ginny736]

How can you not just love Ruth!! 🥰

[@karenberg4903]

Another absolutely wonderful video of Ruth McKeaney & her lovely home and gardens! Love meeting Eileen. What an amazing talent she is gifted with! I have Ruth's lovely book and have followed her for a while now. I am still amazed at her stunning property and, of course, her cooking & baking creations!! You are inspirational and down to earth...that's what is so awesome about watching her videos! PS: Ruth how do you stay so slim with so many buttery & sweet treats you create? I am sure we all would love to know your secret to looking so amazing😘🙏!! Thank you Ruth and Homeworthy🥰

[@dakotapeel2696]

I love when you visit Ruth’s home ! It just makes me smile and feel so happy! Love the gardens!❤

[@JamiePeterson-g6d]

Old rock houses are my favorite and throw in a rustic barn and I'll swoon. I do have to say though..that ground cover is a type of sedum called stonecrop. Ajuga has true leaves that can be purple and it has taller blooms. Later at 27:41 is the ajuga.

[@marymargaret3287]

I noticed that too. It’s good to point out so that viewers who may want to plant ajuga would know what it looks like and not mistake it for something else. I agree with others who have commented - this show was an enjoyable one to watch!

[@01250123]

I hope they keep this series , and I hope they do a Christmas episode

[@kellarz]

Ruth herself has such a lovely voice. She sounds just like Meg Ryan, which is so nostalgic for me as I grew up watching her movies (especially Anastasia!). Everything about Ruth is so warm, welcoming, and friendly, and she has infused those qualities into her entire home.

[@santinabrothers]

You know what! God is Amazing. I ordered your book about a week ago and I've been binge reading it everyday. Today, I stopped at the page where you have your shortbread recipe. I didn't read the recipe. I closed the book and decided to watch KZbin. Lo and behold, Homeworthy is featuring you today and your shortbread cookies...WOW!!!! When I got your book, I also made your chocolate chip cookies and they are the best cookies I've tasted. I have some frozen in the oven, ready to bake when the sweet tooth hits. I love your book, so comforting and soothing. Thank you and God Bless!💞

[@Marie-oy1bd]

Serendipitous--I love your story! Can you share how long we should bake Ruth's shortbread? Thanks!

[@santinabrothers]

@@Marie-oy1bd exactly 10 minutes at 375 degrees F

[@juliannearlene7244]

I love the ruins and really respect them for leaving them there.

[@susansalvucci4281]

I agree! My favorite part of the property is the stone ruins.

[@barbiedoll6530]

Ruth's property is gorgeous.......I have to say I made her chocolate chip cookies and they are PHENOMENAL! Now is have to get her book!

[@soniakirk7909]

I love all the videos with Ruth! She has a wonderful perspective on home, gardens and family! Thanks for sharing her beautiful home, gardens and recipes!

[@queens6583]

The farm is a labor of love and it shows. I'm excited to see what you do for daughter #2 wedding. I have put your cookbook om my birthday list. Eileen has the ability to see a garden as an artistic painting where plants are her paints. I also appreciate how much work goes into your property.

[@pamelabrown3439]

Honeycrisp Apple Trees : So blessed to be a blessing ! Thank you for sharing.

[@u_vw_xyz]

Wonderful to see how hard work pays off. As a youngster on my family farm, I swore I would never work 'in dirt' when I grew up. Time passes - now working in the garden is a welcomed joy. Then having these 'yummies from your cookbook - perfect partnership!

[@katieb8602]

i just love hearing her story so much. it's just sooo inspiring to hear about all the hard work and love that went into making this place such a beautiful home. sometimes when you look at a beautiful house you just see the end product but i love so much hearing her stories about living through the renovation - having 11 kids to look after at one point - all the people that helped her, her family and friends and that wonderful garden designer. it's also really inspiring to me to hear that she tried gardening on her own for 3 years and nothing would grow... and look at her garden now! one of the most beautiful in the world. i'm a couple years into my gardening journey and she inspires me so much to know that she also started out like me. ultimate homemaker inspiration

[@marilyn7772]

Eileen has the sweetest smile, you are blessed to have her as a friend.💗🌷🩷

[@glendalafont1561]

My favorite aunt was named Ruth. I adored her and everything she did.

[@carolwong9279]

Always enjoy Ruth's tours. Absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@FreckledGemini]

Ruth makes me smile. Eileen was too cute when she first heard there were short brews bars waiting…her little nod of approval. Cute friends forever! 🏡

[@jacobpalmer127]

Glad Ruth makes you smile despite her rarely making the facial expression!

[@Infinity-2328]

I love watching her , she’s soo natural , I love her house , the design the recipes and most of all her sense of family. How I wish I could live in a farm like hers🥰🥰🥰

[@juliannearlene7244]

Love Ruth and her home. Shortbread with the herb rosemary chopped in is so good and fragrant.

[@loriwhinery3210]

I love that I found home worthy , such beautiful homes and sweet people. I grew up in an abusive home and home wasn’t a safe place and I make it my goal to have a home that’s cozy and welcoming for all who enter. Thank you homeworthy❤️

[@lynneaiken773]

Love Ruth!! She is so inspiring. The farm is spectacular.

[@patriciaheath1894]

Favorite videos at Hillside Farm ……always a variety of topics presented.

[@gigi4ephram]

Ruth is my favorite

[@jennifertoliver9546]

We bought our 5 br 3 bth, victorian in spring 92 bought allium and wisteria which I anticipated it would take years to bloom for the last 32 years it blooms spring and fall every year without fail! it is so lovely!!! The allium thanks to a prevailing ne breeze there is a half block of drama, explosive purple!

[@sharongruener6078]

Always looking to see what Ruth is up to!!! Love her programs. Blessings.

[@lindaortolano7837]

Hello Ruth, What a beautiful slice of heaven you have provided for you family! God Bless! Hugs! :)

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

Oh, this was my special treat to watch today. I was totally in heaven. I would not have missed it for anything! Thanks Ruth for sharing together with your heart warming advisor/friend from England 🇬🇧 Q. Why do you always keep 9 lemons in a bowl in the kitchen?? Love you❤.

[@deedeeberry1918]

Love Ruth, her hubs, and family. You can tell they are all invested in their ventures. When Ruth wants something her husband makes it happen....but i have no doubt she is the glue for them all. ❤❤❤

[@CarrieAdams-Smith]

Another lovely episode, Ruth! Thank you for sharing your home and gardens.

[@JaneWilliford]

Ruth, I tried your peanut butter pie recipe and my family loved it. Thank you so much.

[@lynnralph8373]

That plant selection looks so lovely against the wooden barn. I am a South African now living in France and seeing those plants tugs at my heart because all those plants grew in my garden all year round. Enjoy. I love this channel.

[@rickgonzalez1218]

Deb here. Ruth and her family work very hard and they have been blessed. Always a delight to see her videos.

[@gina5827]

Gorgeous gardens. 😊 The shortbread looks delicious.

[@jamaicangirl1-r4f]

I love when her videos come on also. I love her home amd how simple it is

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

The ruins… sone walls and brickwork are stunning. Lovely to see that you took care to preserve as much as possible.❤

[@tonistephenson9121]

You are so blessed to have Eileen, I would love to have her in my garden instructing me!

[@Michelle-ky8tn]

Yay, time with Ruth!

[@celinefederici6951]

I just loved this Homeworthy tour...amazing tranformation of the property-in-progress for that is what a garden is! So many useful tips and Ruth and Eileen are so down to earth...just a delight.

[@laurapearson3370]

I think this might be one of the most beautiful homes you have featured

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

You can spend your entire day in here and just be happy all the time. 😍

[@jojo-tl5ei]

Appreciate all the hard work, sweat and probably tears that went into making your place so wonderful. Know that this didn't just happen overnight, the flash back photos show it! Amazing!!! 😍

[@j.christian6801]

Always love seeing Ruth- so inspiring! Thanks!🌺

[@denisemcgovern2485]

Ruth, your stone ruin gardens are truly amazing. They remind me of the ruin gardens at The Goodstone in Middleburg, Virginia. It’s always a treat to watch your episodes. ❤

[@pamd1861]

I love these episodes with Ruth especially in the gardens! Thanks for sharing 🌺

[@lynnthow1650]

Thank you, Ruth! Just beautiful as always! Thank you for making us feel right at home!💛

[@irenetovar7756]

Ruth, your property is so beautiful. I wish I had a friend like Eileen to help me with my front and back yards. Thank you for the tour.

[@colette8694]

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful! 💜💜💜💜

[@diogenes7047]

This was fun! Love the grounds of your property...now to make the shortbread (of course I have your cookbook!) Happy Summer!

[@patriciacinea3097]

Recently subscribed, and this, by far, is my favorite episode! Thoroughly enjoyable, inspiring, educational and entertaining. A most lovely home and grounds. I will search for more of Ruth's videos. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every novice gardener could have a friend like Eileen.

[@beckyray9013]

Ruth inspires me so much! I am going to plant alliums. I love Hillside Farm and each episode.

[@britori1481]

Allium is deer proof?!!! Thanks for mentioning that. I’m going to plant some next week.

[@sharonwatson3320]

I ordered Ruth’s book as well! Love her episodes!

[@judysellin9031]

I love this woman! Yes, it would be wonderful if she had her KZbin channel. I have made her choco chunk cookies twice now and they are delicious. Just made a pan of the shortbread and it turned out perfect and yummy!

[@amandakelly8793]

I so enjoy and connect with Ruth

[@nancycolombo4137]

Such a beautiful home ❤

[@shabbymaverick7975]

Love farms and this is the most beautiful makeover I've seen yet. Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@sandrasuszek4798]

Love this place, so charming! Thank you for sharing your home and recipes.❤

[@marycollins1631]

Love Love Love your flower garden. Well done!

[@tjo4893]

I love it when you have Ruth on! Thank you for sharing your space and the recipe! Since you do not mulch your beds what do you use instead? Thanks!

[@doreen9838]

Eileen is so knowledgeable love her

[@vivienmcnaul109]

I love the history of things you do and experiences.

[@lisaroe6096]

Love, love , love ❤️

[@lisaangstadt-wysocki3809]

Ruth, My husband and I have a white kitty like your pretty kitty. His name is Punky.... he is a Doll-faced Persian. I can't wait to make the shortbread. Thank you for sharing.

[@claudiamann7111]

What a beautiful farm with stunning gardens. I love the aliums. I have to make those shortbread treats. They look scrumptious. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Yummmm... that shortbread looks amazing. When you said you could add things... my mind went immediately to lemon zest and lavender ! The basic recipe is so simple , even I can do it! I know you said 350'.. but did you say how long to bake it? Of course , the gardens are breath taking. Starting with so many large established trees is my dream! Everything takes so long to mature in a new garden.

[@tammyarnett4869]

Love her place, beautiful ❤

[@richoneplanet7561]

OMG seriously jealous of the garden, flowers and lawns 😮 😅😊👍

[@mvandeven3665]

Very much enjoyed this. Only thing I’d like to suggest is to remove the invasive honeysuckle and butterfly bush that you show and instead plant the butterfly weed and the native honeysuckle.

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

This was fabulous! I feel like I have 2 new friends.

[@doreen9838]

Love your rooster cutting board!!!! Behind you cooking

[@doreen9838]

I should say above the oven

[@debbypritchett4685]

Received my book today LOVE IT

[@virginiaramirez4214]

First time viewer😍 absolutely love your video. Beautiful property 🩷🪴

[@sonyadoss4323]

Love these vlogs and I’m ordering the cookbook soon. Everything you’ve made looks amazing

[@EveD123]

I look forward to hillside farm

[@lwitt8448]

Absolutely lovely video!

[@Julia29853]

From Bluestone Perennials mail order, there is Allium Gigantum and Allium Globemaster for those huge size ones. Im sure there are many others but some commenters had asked

[@CelticPurl]

Such a great, informative video!

[@cherylkorengel5094]

Just watched your utube videos and loved your ideas, hard work, family and family values, and very beautiful homes and property and gardens. What a wealth of knowledge you and your family have given us. Thank you. I just received my book and am enjoying your pictures, recipes and so much more. Love love love your wonderful book.

[@northoftheequator2094]

I love her graciousness and overall approach to life, but how on earth does Ruth manage to look so svelte with all that butter and sugar in her recipes? Amazing.

[@fluffyanne1177]

I make 12 dozen cookies at a time and never eat one

[@ElaineIles-ul7rh]

Wonderful!

[@barbarafritchie2000]

Awesome thanks.

[@UnearthedPerspective]

Lol when I first started gardening….I laugh now but then I just had absolutely no clue….but I didn’t realize I needed to water the plants at least once p/day. I was always so confused why I could not get things to grow well 😂

[@brendaparker6766]

Love this!

[@mattwas2896]

i got a set of clear glass canisters on Amazon and they have a great seal to keep stuff fresh and the come with chalkboard labels and a chalk pen … they also sell chalkboard labels at Michael’s

[@suzanne9204]

How do you keep the window box because I have two that are like them from getting the house wet because I have regular siding and I don’t want to rot this side of my house underneath my windows

[@gregpendrey6711]

Hi Suzanne. Slip some shims vertically behind the window box to fur it out from your siding a half inch for air circulation. A liner with a drain through the front an inch from the bottom will prevent the box from rotting for a long time. Hope this helps. Ruth is becoming a presence that has been missing don't you think? Oh, micro drip on a timer is really helpful for folks in sun that need to water twice a day!

[@bonilamson3322]

I would love to know what kind of allium you've planted! Gorgeous!

[@saraw8503]

I think that shortbread would be wonderful with a bit of chopped rosemary added.

[@Bluegrassprincess]

Your so sweet. IF I did that for my guests they would become squatters! I love cat mint bit cats Pajamas is what I found in my area..it's similiar. here in KY we have lavender farms and it does well here

[@annamariamiele5682]

Love your videos...I have your book. Thank youuuu

[@sandylunden5782]

Love your channel ❤️👍❤️

[@maryjaneboyd6388]

❤❤where did you buy the Allium bulbs?

[@donamurphy8182]

Such gorgeous grounds! Brick patio covered in a foot of dirt over time! Stone building ruins! Just a dream the property is after so much work. Wouldn’t it be neat if you could find out what used to be there! Any very old people from the area who could help find out?

[@peggy1844]

In reference to the alliums in the gardens by the driveway…..it was mentioned that they are in blooms all through the summer… which alliums did you plant ?

[@suzistuck9388]

I wish you had said what type of Allium and Lavendar. Your property is beautiful!
