EARLY RISE! Let's Chat - Summer Garden Tour

[@racheltalbott]

Good Morning! Before I get ready for the day and shower etc, I do my garden/ outdoor chores. I'm taking you out to the garden first thing in the morning. I thought I would share what we're growing! Hope you enjoy!

[@stk2290]

Rachel hello! Are you still having problem with your videos?

[@MsAnnaP]

I could watch 2 hours of this! So soothing and relaxing. Thank you for helping me start my Monday off so peacefully 💕

[@smscrapper]

The rooster was like “Ma, talk about me too ma! I’m here too ma!” So funny! Beautiful garden!

[@walkingvenus2237]

Rachel, as a content creator you inspire me immensely. I love your videos so much, they transmit this sense of calm and I hope one day I can capture the beauty of a healthy balanced everyday life as well as you do. 🤍

[@racheltalbott]

That's so kind. Thank you for watching and leaving such a kind and encouraging comment.

[@catmama54]

It’s so lovely there and you have such relaxing videos and your voice is quite soothing. How awesome to have family living near by.

[@queens6583]

I love your property and home and realize just how much work you and Byron put into it everyday. How wonderful to have family move in right next door and it'll be great for the cousins growing up. Looks like your having a great summer.

[@judith473]

Rachel, I've been watching your videos for a long time now and just realized I never left a comment thanking you for them. You put so much love and hard work in creating these videos, please know what a positive impact they have on the people who watch them. You never get to see us, but we're here, sitting behind a screen on the other side of the world, appreciating you. I think what makes them so special is your authenticity. You put an emphasis on the beauty in life but you never try to hide that it has its messy sides as well. No matter what mood I'm in, watching your videos always puts a smile on my face. This is so powerful. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@ravensanchez7533]

If you only knew how excited I get when I see that you posted a new video 🤗 I now find myself watching videos that you posted years ago🤷🏽‍♀️

[@racheltalbott]

awww. Thank you! I'm really hoping I can get back into a schedule. I really like posting constantly, and it bums me out when I can't.

[@indianband2012]

It looks amazing! I would love to hear about if/how y'all do crop rotations and take care of your soil!

[@GrowingPothos]

I've been watching since the apartment days and always miss the sitting down, vlog style videos. This was a treat!

[@idreamintrees1391]

Goodness you sure have been busy over there! So good to see you and see your BEAUTIFUL garden! We made our first Fig Jam just the other night :-) It was wonderful!!!

[@DansonforJoy]

Such a peaceful vibe in this early morning video! Loved peeking under all the leaves to see what is growing in your garden. We just have a few pots of garden goods on our back porch this year, so I've been a regular customer at our local farmer's market. Thanks for sharing, Rachel!

[@vimteknas]

Watching this on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It definitely added more peace to my day 😇 You have a beautiful farm and I love the way you take care of it 💕💕💕 Stay blessed 😘

[@Lizzy.0628]

This was such a lovely video - so peaceful and grounding. Thanks for always creating such beautiful and inspiring content, Rachel!

[@rayyg786]

Nothing short of a mirace you worked there. This gardening year has been so hard.

[@azabikahel8718]

[@knf868]

[@mariamqureshi7569]

[@chiomascharm4596]

Everything looks so beautiful 😍 Thanks for sharing 💜

[@gabrielaone1619]

Love the rooster!!!

[@CocoNaty]

I came up with this recipe for watermelons specifically and every person that’s ever tried loves it just wanted to pass it along in case you get a lot of watermelons again. But I make a pesto to dip the watermelon slices in. Sounds weird but it’s delicious. I just pick good a few handfuls of fresh basil, and add that to a food processor with 1 to 2 cloves of garlic depending on how big they are, a wedge of Parmesan cheese, sea salt, about a cup of Walnuts, And some cracked pepper. The basil goes in after you processed the cheese walnuts and seasoning, at the end you Pour In olive oil until it forms a paste/dip consistency. And that’s it are usually top it off with cracked pepper and it is delicious!

[@lindam1102]

Your kitty is getting so big! Love from Colorado 🦋 🐓 cracks me up 🤣😂

[@danisantos3088]

How wonderful your brother and his family are so close by!

[@travelingchaos4609]

I love seeing everything y’all have done with your property. We our buying our land next year and these videos give me so many ideas. Love it.

[@jnicholexo]

Nettle & lemon balm are so great in the herbal remedy world. Your home & garden is so beautiful! ♥️♥️♥️

[@rxlo1062]

Such a beautiful family and farm.

[@nafisashama221]

[@jessicacanfield5408]

Wow your farm has reall grown as far as I remember. I don't think you had the barn or shed for the goats. Last i saw a post. I am so glad you have posted with a video again.

[@Urban_Off-Grid]

You have an abundance. This is inspiring. I take notes because we moved to our land and have got to get our property like this ♥︎♥︎

[@jessicacanfield5408]

I grew up in Southern CA in Orange county in Costa Mesa and We only had a quarter of an acer but my parents used the space they had by planting a lemon tree, cumquat, fig and there were already two juice orange tree there when we moved in. We also had a prettu big garden enough] for 4 tto 5 people plus guests thanks to my mom for canning. Also we had blackberries and then chicken's

[@ivymcleod2438]

Goodness, how your boys have grown. Crazy to see them so big and grown-up, becoming little men. Continue enjoying your family and loving what you do!

[@TaylorandLucasGarcia]

Asmr vibes so relaxing to watch !

[@CitrouilleCitron]

I'm so in love with your garden. Congrats !!

[@athomeimmum2247]

Gorgeous! We're in England and definitely have 3.5 clear seasons. If anything our spring/summertime period seems to be only 5 months without protection from the elements. We're looking at investing in a new polytunnel this year to let us grow more and for longer. 🍁

[@Angela-rc8bd]

I have been looking forward to a garden update and it looks amazing! A couple of questions for you: 1) How close are your fruit trees planted to each other? 2) How do you keep up with the watering? Do you have a drip irrigation system? Any gardening tips are appreciated. Thank you!

[@effiebarbalias5748]

Your garden is goals !! I love picking up tricks and seeing how you’ve expanded your garden as i plan to have a similar setup someday!! Also come to Canada around the fall we definitely get the full fall experience I know you’d love it !! 🥰

[@JackyWacky1]

I love your videos. They’re so peaceful :) beautiful garden 💚

[@telaraday8743]

My dog could NOT relax the whole time I watched this video 🤣🤣 Everytime one of your chickens would crow, his head would shoot up towards my phone or the window or he'd get up and try to find the noise! He was so alert by the sounds 🤣

[@racheltalbott]

haha my rooster was going nuts lol

[@telaraday8743]

@@racheltalbott it was honestly so cute! Animals are so funny like that

[@crazywriterchic]

I make apple butter every year - for future if you have an immersion blender you honestly don’t even need to peel. I make apple butter bread - any banana bread recipe but sub apple butter or in oatmeal is also delightful! I’ve also layered it in cinnamon rolls which was great.

[@burkies8273]

Apple butter bread sounds....amazing! 🤤

[@JoBrogrl95]

I grew up in the south and in the area I grew up in, a lot of people canned, including my mom and mamaw. This summer, I started dipping my toe into it and I want to do more of it over time. I’ve done diced tomatoes and peaches. Not sure how they taste, but, the canning process turned out well. I hope canning goes well for you!

[@Euniceathome]

Your videos are so soothing ☺️

[@damarisfernandez7009]

Gracias, siempre que me siento estresada vengo a ver tu canal, y me relajo, en serio ..

[@mf3610]

Citronella helps prevent flies? That’s so intriguing!

[@Frostysleet]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing with us. Your place is incredible!

[@pawn4129]

I really envy your rooster alarm!

[@shylamcaleavy8887]

Do you have any tips, or maybe, do’s & don’ts of starting a Homestead?

[@maddiesnow8806]

Oh that would be an awesome video!

[@amandalawson9165]

Your gorgeous! I love the outdoors and your garden is so beautiful!!!!!!!! Did you get your flowers tattoos???? Thank you for being so genuine and I can tell God has touched your life with love and happiness. 🙂 Thank you again for the content I adore your family and your beautiful home. Keep uploading!

Beautiful gardens ❤❤❤

[@stephybartholomae6207]

Beautiful and inspiring video Rachel

[@jg2086]

Love your garden vids!!

[@whendixie3]

Don’t feel bad about your tomatoes not being trellised. I tried the Florida weave (?) after one of our big wind storms, some of mine look like yours. Gardening, always an adventure. ❤️

[@indiratrotman9285]

Good morning such a beautiful garden. I don't know but where I live we would take the half eaten apples from the trees and feed it to the goats. I live in the Caribbean.

[@naturalhairbliss]

This video makes me hungry. Beautiful garden!

[@rosesmith000]

So happy to hear about all the things!!!

[@steve1333]

This is beautiful. I want to do a garden but obvi living in LA is impossible so I will just live vicariously through you

[@italy5153]

Such a lovely garden 💜💚

[@shakinariley6272]

Love love Your garden so much, thanks for sharing 🇯🇲👍

[@shaileeanklesaria]

Really love your videos! Soothing 🙂

[@CurlyProverbz]

Hey love how do you get tasty olives.... I have been struggling

[@r.a.6995]

Amazing garden🙂

[@3v388]

We have a lot of sage growing but find it challenging to use them in cooking. Would you share or chat about cooking with herbs one day? Appreciate your channel and the beautiful contents you share. Thank you so much!

[@dddennis1214]

Great video! What do you use to feed/fertilize your garden and what do you use to control pests? Thanks!

[@traildarling2777]

Loved this! Thank you for sharing!💕

[@Nancybartlettofficial]

Can you do a video on how you dry your herbs? :)

[@willothewispl]

Wonderful abundance of crops.

[@LiberatedOne7777]

Perfect video for today! #HappyLammas :)

[@athenlepard2944]

Love your vlogs 💓

[@Insanity_awaits]

What a magical garden y'all have and get to experience with the kids. I would love love love to own an acre and grow our food. Watch my kids play and run around the farm. So for now, I bring what I can grow to the apartment where me and my kids live. How do y'all deal with the bugs? Been finding myself clearing out spiderwebs off of my plants, haha 😄.

[@trudymautz4388]

What a beautiful property and garden, is this northern CA? I love all that you have growing. So pretty.

[@FlavoursOfKanyakumari]

Superb garden👌👌👌

[@deliciouscookingvlog8261]

so good, amazingly Done... Appreciating

[@sandybell3369]

We can't have everthing in life...like a "proper" fall, but you are lucky to have all your harvest flourish. I cannot plant much here, due to weather changes. This year all crops are a month behind. The poor Bees are behind in their honey production. Weather in CA is better to grow food, unlike other places

[@francesandrews5506]

Great video and love your garden 😍. Any tips on preserving basil or drying them out? Please I have tons of basil . I use it in my cooking, I won't use it all. Thankyou

[@stephslife4628]

Beautiful garden!! I lost my pumpkin crop due to vine borers. How do you keep them from destroying your squash plants?

[@wynniethepooh6834]

I hope one day my garden can look as beautiful as yours

[@arpitabiswasroy5385]

Calming🧡🧡

[@uglyduck1672]

I love your videos

[@ice-mp5dx]

Tomatoes can be frozen whole...just like that. If one is overripe just pop it in freezer without any processing. Then when ready to process place frozen tomato in boiling water and quickly pop it out. Slip off the thin skin. Put the still frozen tomato in a blender or crush. Process. I put it in the blender and put in soups and sauces.

[@ankad5050]

I would love to hear more about your gorgeous tattoos!

[@Happy_sadvr]

My dream garden

[@Yojagh28]

Love your videos💕💕

[@selinanguyentv5125]

khu vườn đẹp quá

[@cocomump]

Lovely video.

[@nanetteb2216]

what do you add into the potting soil to grow the herbs? My herbs did ok for awhile then died. Maybe some worm castings or compost added?

[@Chosenlaur]

Beautiful 😍 garden

[@jessicacanfield5408]

Are you having to ration water? I have heard there is a big drought in CA

[@kaylanydueck]

I live in a small apartment and would love an herbal garden. What would you recommend as starters?

[@frankhenderson2443]

Do you have to wash the echinacea or just cut and hang?

[@CP-mu1lh]

Hi Rachel were so you get your seeds for planting?

[@Elaine-ed1lm]

I just came back fro cape cod and got sun poisoning. I have tried everything to heal but it looks disgusting. Any idea what I can do? It’s all over my upper thigh. I am so careful with sunscreen but I did not use it on body cause I was just walking in town. Any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated 🥱

[@LifeofDayy]

What do you do to protect your corn from pests? Mine was doing great and then was quickly overrun by… SOMETHING! Now I have to pull it all up. 😩

[@rebeccalingurar1592]

I would love to buy the homemade apple butter from you!! Looks delish
