Nothing like growing, picking and eating from the garden. I only have a small garden now but I still enjoy it. Usually for shelled peas, we just shelled them and put them directly in the freezer. They always done well. What kind of beans were you picking today? The vines look different than what I’ve grown. Happy Harvesting Terri! Great idea for hanging onions.

Thank you for the tip on hanging the onions. Although I have been gardening for years I didn't know how to cure and store my onions. I learned gardening from my mother and she never raised the larger onions. When I tried I ended up with a stinky mess but now I will try again next year. Yes, I do my peas the same way now that I am retired. In the past I canned them because I traveled the US for a living and I was in constant fear of my freezer or the electric going out while I was on the road. And yes, it has happened, I live in what we call tornado alley. Peas just taste fresher when frozen I enjoyed this video so much that I didn't want it to end. Thank you...

I've always considered work something beautiful. It's how we think of and use the word "work" that can create misconceptions and negative attitudes. Too often people think of work as drudgery- something to get through to get to the good stuff in life. We raise children to think that work is a necessary hardship. My work with herbs is a pleasure. My work dehydrating fruit is enjoyable. My work caring for an elderly friend is an honor. My work creating a home that is a sanctuary feels sacred to me. When the work we do fulfills our purpose or calling, it is a holy act. If we are passionate about the work we do and if we do it with great love, well, then we can see the whole concept of "work" through a different lens. PS I'm feeling the same harvest overload push, to not waste or miss out on the fruits of our labor and the bounty Mother Earth gifts to us!

They can get dropped right into my instant pot with pasta and water for dinner in 10 minutes. Just stir and the tomatoes are instant fresh from the garden sauce around the pasta.

Watching you in your garden makes me homesick for the time I spent in my mother's garden. It's so beautiful. Unfortunately due to multiple heatwaves I lost most of my first crops and the second round of crops are not doing as well. We only had enough peas for a few meals where last year we had enough to freeze for most of the winter. Also my tomatoes are not as numerous as last year. I sell the extra tomatoes throughout the season for extra money to buy seeds for the next year (not enough to do this this year). My hope is someday I will have the space to grow in a bigger area. I am grateful for the space I currently have, as I live in a rental home in town with a bigger backyard then most since I have a parking lot behind me and not another home. Also the owners of the home could have said no on putting in gardens. I tried the Dusting Powder with Dried Rose Petals and Calendula Petals. My children love it to use before bed so they don't feel as sweaty during the hot nights. Thank you for your lovely videos.

Terri, re your mention here of the stalk that broke on your broadbean. I'm not sure if it was just a fluke, or something that really worked - this year my zinnia which was massive and at the height of her glory the main stalk got broken in one of our huge wind storms, part was still in tact but 3/4 of the stalk was severed. I made a comfrey root poultice and wrapped the muslin/root pulp around the stalk where the break was and then with a piece of "plastic-not-fantastic" to keep the goo in, and secured it. The zinnia continued to flourish for another two months! I would love to know if anyone else tries or has tried this for mending plants!

@@DanusIrishHerbGarden The area I currently live in is humid with 4 seasons and looses power fairly often. I was loosing the food in my refrigerator and freezer about 5 times a year, so for me it's worth it; plus it makes going camping (and weather emergencies) easier to handle and much more convenient when you can prepare dehydrated meals by pouring the package (or jar) into a thermos and add boiling water -seal it and have dinner made in about 15 - 20 minutes using a campfire. It is also helpful for storing food in the winter with limited freezer space, and does still take sometimes a day to dehydrate veggies (depending on the fruit/ veggies) though.

I wish you well with the rest of your harvest and thank you very much for sharing your tips and showing us how you harvest. I don't have any tips to share back as yet because it has been a long time since I grew anything, I am growing a few things this year, tomatoes which I have grown before, peas, Purple sprouting broccoli, Cucumbers, Kale, and pumpkins that are new to me.

My problem is, I eat them as I’m shelling them lol They’re so sweet and beautiful. Far nicer than any bag of sweets. Yummy

Hi Teri! Love how you put up your onions! Is there a certain way to remove an onion then without having them all fall off or is that not an issue? I just love your channel and all that you share, thank you! Diane from Minnesota

Beautiful, no word for work. It should be a beautiful thing to do this (harvesting) and call it living. Your harvesting also reminds me living with my grandmother harvesting food for winter. It was so much fun!!! I really enjoyed it, it did not feel like work for sure, but then my grandmother was indigenius. But sadly I'm a westerner now and I have ALMOST lost the connection, but trying to harness it back.

Loved the video, as usual ❣️ My 5 year old granddaughter called me tonight (lives in Alaska) to tell me they were making Kale chips and had bottled chicken stock yesterday (she said "from our meat chickens, not the laying ones!"). And had dug lots of carrots to make a carrot cake for her mom's birthday. My daughter is raising her right 😍 Have a lovely week, blessed 🐝

Terri ,thank you for making me laugh .Doing things your own way regardless of "the food police "who say it must be done this way! I've always looked at "the rules " and adapted them to suit me. Back when Adam was a lad, my mother dried peas ,they're fine when cooked but totally different from frozen peas ,more like cooked mush . Have a happy week xx

This looks like the perfect life to me, you are a very talented and lucky lady to have such a wonderful property. I filled my garden with trees and now I don't have much space or light for a veg garden, I also have a million slugs which the resident toads don't seem to be able to keep on top of but my Magnolia makes me happy and that's what counts. I love your channel, see you next time 😊🌻🌼🌺

Had to harvest my peas a couple of weeks back. I think next year a bigger space is needed as I didn’t yield as much as I thought, they were planted in a Belfast sink. Thanks for another lovely video Terri 🦋

Love the way you are hanging and twining your onions! I harvested my onions and didn't want to braid them, but I will hang them the way you have. Thanks for the instruction! I am enjoying your channel!
