Harvesting Potatoes & More Onions + Making Fresh Garden Salsa! 🥔🧅🍅 // Garden Answer

[@dhiaaeddinetahiir6437]

You are amazing Laura.. I love you so much.. I'm a 16 years old boy and I hope I will have a big big land and house like yours in the future!!❤

[@vbo9872]

I send my wishes that your dreams come true.

[@deezahm9143]

💚A kind heart and a hard working soul such as yourself will be greatly rewarded. Never stop dreaming big! 💕

[@lauragreen4899]

Dream big and work hard. Be generous and wise with your money. You can do it.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Keep the fantastic goals you have in front of you. I have a 16 yo grandson who lives w me. We're kind of at opposite ends of Life. His life unrolls in front of him, unfurling decade by decade. Mine is there for reference -- things to look out + prepare for, what to steer around, etc. You have the right things in your sights right now if GARDEN ANSWERS is one of your wells of sweet inspiration. Enjoy the beautiful all around you.

[@susanturner9023]

Lol, loved Aaron’s excited “can you grow avocados here!?!” ❤😂

[@FloraM44]

That was such a cute interaction! It reminded me of the other day I was at the garden centre to see what sales they had, and my husband got this look in his eyes when he saw a guava tree..... Now, I'm usually the one to go gaga over plants and he's supportive, but when he saw that tree you could tell he really wanted it...... So we got it - even though neither of us have ever even tried a fresh guava! 😂 We just need to make room to bring it inside over the winter.. here.. in Canada..... 😂😂

[@laurencalderon4529]

Me too!!! I even tapped my husband and had him watch.

[@GrowCookPreserveWithKellyDawn]

I love going shopping in the backyard and garden! NOTHING is more satisfying than growing your own meals. ✌🏻🧅🥔🍅🫑🌶

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@CrispeeCrisps15I’m sorry someone stole your nice tomatoes! Maybe pull the plants up and hang them upside down in the garage or pick them and put them on newspapers so they can ripen over the next few weeks. That will keep them for you!

[@barbarachildress3198]

I don't know how you managed to dig potatoes, clean onions, make dinner and still look so energetic! I would have needed 3 naps between all that! 😂

[@rcodan9016]

Me too

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Same!!

[@lisag6796]

I agree!

[@renebyers6153]

I would have needed a stretcher. 🫤

[@cjinspirations]

The more you work, the more energy you have. Plus you sleep so good if you really physically work all day...try it😊 Laura knows how to work!

[@bktcz]

How utterly absolutely wonderful to be able to go and pick your dinner out of your garden.... nothing better!

[@michellegordon1822]

You could make a peach salsa from the peaches in your orchard!

[@lisascott7873]

yessss!!!

[@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle]

Sounds delish

[@allysonberry8708]

Or Peach Hot Pepper Jam. That’s what I make. Great over cream cheese, chicken or pork or even on a Peanut Butter sandwich.

[@michellegordon1822]

@@allysonberry8708 that sounds delightful !

[@MichelleSuggs-ls1ki]

Yummy idea!

[@lynns.fischer7026]

It was so fun to see you back in the kitchen making something today.

[@shellyroman1321]

I loved the end of this video, especially. Seeing you two sitting at that beautiful table, enjoying the fresh "fruits of your labor" and each other. Lets not forget enjoying the glorious view from that spot as well. Life is Good!♡

[@ritalamers1876]

This summer I’ve especially enjoyed watching as your gardening has evolved-taking care of pollinators, creating micro-environments like the pond, releasing predatory mites, new farm to table like growing wheat and milling wheat. I love gardening because there’s always more to learn. Thanks for the inspiration, education and keeping it fresh. No doubt it takes a lot of hard work from everyone involved to keep a channel like this evolving--thank you!

[@cindym6065]

Now I want egg and potato tacos with fresh salsa for breakfast. That salsa looks delicious! Laura, you are a true farm to table cook!

[@rebeccahouseholder2036]

Love the idea to use a ziploc bag to protect your hand!!

[@jillette7490]

I used to do this as well since my skin is so sensitive. I finally threw in the towel and bought disposable latex gloves that live in a kitchen cabinet for just this purpose. 🔥🌶

[@lynnettek6092]

@@jillette7490 So smart! I keep a box of nitrile gloves for all kinds of dirty jobs in and outside of the house. I'm not opposed to dirt under my nails but I don't like it so I use them to dig in the dirt too and when potting things up. Keeps my hands clean.

[@chrissihr1031]

We have to keep nitrile gloves on hand in the kitchen for bulldog-related reasons anyway, so we’ve always got an extra for pepper reasons, too. 😁

[@cindielbrecht557]

I learned the hard way! As I’ve done most of my life! But those lessons (big, major, mistakes) have stuck! A little protection goes a long!

[@lyndaweddle6741]

My Texas heart is screaming “Salsa” at 6:42am!!! Another wonderful harvest, Laura!! Now, where are those chips?!?🥵🌶️🧅🍅

For me you are the most inspirational gardener on KZbin!! Thank you for sharing your experiences I am loving your progress ❤

[@patriciacinea3097]

I am super happy to have the reminders on the storage of the onions and potatoes. Your harvest is amazing.

[@ChickensForEggs]

Me too!!

[@be_you2023]

The harvest videos, complete with a cooking finale are by far my favourite posts. Wonderful to see you are enjoying and taking your time to harvest, it’s seems more enjoyable for you, and for us, more videos to come? Crossing fingers. PS: Glad the spiders left.

[@ChickensForEggs]

Anyone else love the sound of the onions being pulled out of the soil? I love that "harvest crunch" that happens, even when the potatoes are forked out. 😅

[@karenchrobak2274]

It’s so satisfying to grow, harvest and do food prep from your own garden. A true “garden salsa”! Love that you included a bit of cooking with your harvest show.

[@kimreisz6136]

Your Salsa looks delicious! What a great harvest of veggies!

[@kristenhernandez8503]

A ziploc bag as a glove.....what a great idea. I will be using that for sure

[@deezahm9143]

🌻Good morning everyone. Harvest time is the best time, and enjoying it freshly made is priceless. I hope everyone has a wonderful garden day wherever you are 🌾🥔🧅

[@lisag6796]

You too!!

[@valsawatzky2153]

Just watched an older video where Benjamin is 2 weeks old and Russel is the new addition to the family . Both are so sweet! The changes you and Aaron have made to the yard are so impressive and inspiring. Do you ever watch the older videos and think dang we have worked so hard to make this dream come true?

[@NiiRats]

I love it. ✨ So pretty and amazing farm. Thank you for sharing your great work and helpful information. ⭐

[@daleservidio2034]

Love seeing how you prepare your garden produce ❤

[@bearg-ma9168]

You could seriously open a farm stand with all of this production. Amazing!

[@c.mcafeeart1247]

I’m saving this video to my gardening playlist! This is so much good information for storage veggies!

[@AllTheArtsy]

Now I'm craving some potato and onion pancakes with that haul!!!! 🥰🤤

[@tricna]

My favourite videos besides cut flower garden ones will always be you picking fresh produce from your garden and making something yummy to eat out of it 😋

[@yvonnealexander3241]

Nothing taste better than fresh produce from the garden. Another amazing harvest.

[@GloriaHathor]

Hello Laura. In one of your past videos, you mentioned how your dad left the onions in the garden once lifted out to cure. My pops did the same. He also did it with potatoes. Happy harvest.❤❤❤❤❤

[@shekiamerriweather5087]

This is awesome! Truly encouraged me! Bindweed took over my garden and I felt really defeated this summer. Now starting for the fall ❤Thank you so much for this video!

[@ginagreenwood1869]

The ziplock bag as a plastic glove...work with what you got girl! I just made some homemade salsa from my garden and it's such a great feeling benefitting from the fruit of my labor! Thanks for all your encouragement. You're the best Laura!!

[@Sullysspirit]

Laura, looks like you have created your heaven on this crazy earth! Enjoy the small wins! Love your garden tour with fresh salsa! Today is Dads 87th bday🎉leo Just know so many of us are happy to be included on this journey❤ xxxooo

I LOVE watching you cook from your garden! I see the potential for an entire separate series!! With all your spare time, that is... 😂

[@copiouscookies00]

Love that you showed the making of a dish along with the harvesting. 💗

[@onlyme639]

Living by farms is so good when it’s field to table. We are so lucky. Loved watching your harvest grow

[@terresiagregg9326]

Morning Laura your harvest is bountiful this year the Lord sure has blessed you

[@Jo-AnnaMorris]

My grandparents were large scale farmers in NW Tasmania and the Kennebec were the absolute best roasted potatoes!! ❤❤❤

[@trevormay4590]

The flamingos behind you when showing the potatoes are awesome! I think those should go next to the face tree. Aaron will love it so much. 😂😅

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I hope you let the kids help you harvest the rest of the potatoes, they will love digging for treasures!

[@marthabradas8873]

Awesome video! Thanks for showing how you harvest, prep, and store your home grown produce. It's really an education for those of us with no experience in farming. Also, loved how you shared your salsa prep--I could just taste the freshness of it all! You certainly work so hard and so you deserve the best! Thanks again for sharing your fabulous farm 🥰😀😀🥰🥰 I watch one of your videos (current or older ones) everyday.

[@SAHamel_]

Nothing beats having your own produce! "Fruits of your labors"

[@teresaangel2669]

I so enjoyed watching you make the salsa and actually sitting down on the patio eating it together in the shade and breeze. It made me relax and I realized that we don’t see you sitting and enjoying your spaces. You mention that you hang and sit at times but I now realize how much I would enjoy seeing snippets of pics of you sitting, playing with the kids, going on pleasure rides in the gator, etc. - the joys of the harvest! I love your family and how hard you all work. I didn’t realize til now how I enjoy watching you relax.😊

[@julieh2935]

Yay! I love harvest to table videos! (Or harvest in general) Everything looks wonderful, thank you for sharing! 😊

[@bobbi5414]

I don’t know how you do so much in a day but it’s awesome to watch. Could you do a show on curing? I have sweet potatoes, and I’m not sure how to cure them. I’m going to do more seeding this winter.

[@janetkoball44]

Thanks so much for another great visit with all of us. See you on your next one.

[@Gabe2theXtreme]

YES! Bring it full circle please. Fresh produce and cooking! Please Do more of this Segway into the future. I'm sure all of us would appreciate it! Thank you Laura and your team! You bring me back from my sadness all the time! Thank you!

[@JeanHirner-ql2yk]

Love a man who enjoys the food you prepare! Good job Aaron - your compliments will ensure that the tasty treats from the garden keep coming!

[@upnorth21]

You are such a hard worker! I can't imagine doing all of that in one day. Glad you are taking the relaxed approach to harvesting.

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Spectacular harvests Laura! Even when you don't want to be epic you still are...that salsa looked so darn good. I can't get enough this season!

[@Sarah-zq5ld]

I really like it when you say what the potatoes and onions and things are best used for! Helps me know for some of the varieties I'm not familiar with. Thanks 4 all th knowledge you share in all your videos, much appreciated!! 😊

[@kathyaakananabluebird]

Beautiful and plentiful harvests~ BRAVO!

[@kimsawatzky5891]

You ALWAYS inspire me in the garden but today I was so inspired by your salsa that I went out and harvested from my garden to make the same. My Husband was every bit as enthusiastic as Aaron 😄

[@latonyae8162]

So sweet and awesome, your produce grocery store steps away. Everything you need and want All because you put in the passion and love for gardening. Thanks for sharing. It's truly a blessing to us!

[@GrammyinColorado]

I live vicariously through you and your garden! I live at 9,000 ft elevation so don't have a long enough, warm enough growing season to grow food. But boy, it is still so satisfying to see everything you harvest and I just imagine that it all tastes so amazing. I think, like Aaron, I could make myself sick eating too much of that beautiful salsa! 😊

[@kimmy0868]

Watching those potatoes come out of the ground is sooo satisfying!!!! Oh how I wish my garden produced like this, I need to import dirt from Oregon cause Miss Laura’s garden is always producing amazing harvests!!! Love it so much, esp this onions, amazing!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sarahgibson-reb1891]

I bet that’s a great feeling of accomplishment! Digging potatoes… my mom voluntold the 4 of us to help my grandfather dig potatoes. We did it early (what every teenager loves) so we didn’t have to do it in the blazing heat of the day.

[@wandafincher5773]

Love....voluntold...

[@ritasicari7518]

Lol@@wandafincher5773

[@wandabrown508]

So satisfying to see the entire process from harvesting to produce to eating the salsa! Aaron was a great taste tester!

[@susanhaynes4502]

Onions ring sounds good...with buttermilk soaking

[@virginiaramirez4214]

Laura, you amazing me. You’re such a hard worker, and how you can take the heat. I worked yesterday in my garden pulling up ivy’s from the ground and it was hot. I thought I was going to pass out from heat exhaustion 🥵 Your my hero! 🩷 Happy Gardening 🪴

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

God has blessed you with a beautiful vegetable garden this year. My mom and dad would plant 10 long rolls of potatoes. I remember watching as the tractor would dig up the potatoes, and we would start squealing and clapping our hands as the potatoes were pushed from dirt. By the end of the day, we were tired,hot, and ready to rest after picking up bushels of potatoes. Your salsa looks good 😊 I think Aaron would give it a big thumbs up. 👍

[@beasleyben9191]

Nice harvest! Love seeing you in the kitchen preparing something yummy with your harvest! Love seeing those big sunflowers and the wilder side of the garden over there just because it reminds me of my childhood gardens with my parents and grand parents! Today I am a raised bed gardener on the slightly informal formal side. lol Guess you can never take the country out of this girl!

[@michellejaggard9657]

I love everything about all of your videos. You have more energy than anyone I have ever seen. You are one very busy lady. I don't know how you do it!

[@sheiladouglas5258]

Laura, what an inspiration you are. I so miss raising a garden and having fresh vegetables on the table. Love that your made us fresh salsa, and I think your husband really liked it.🤣 I enjoy your videos so much. Praying God’s blessings on your precious family!🙏🏻❤️

Cheers for an awesome day GA family...

These are my absolutely favorite types of videos 🧅🍅 harvesting and cooking

[@WaterfallFW]

Garlic, cumin and black pepper are the only differences I do to my salsa. Sometimes I’ll throw in a sweet pepper too. Laura you need a large food processor too, Aaron order me one of those for Laura please. 😂. Amazing harvest. I love seeing how you do everything Laura, you are quite amazing and have taught me so much. Love you both.

[@jenniferburgeson2035]

I just love your harvesting, curing and when you include a recipe videos. They are my absolute fav! I often even refer back to them when I go to harvest my own veggies to make sure I am doing it right so thank you!

[@cookiescott2165]

WOW! Great harvest. You work so hard. Love to watch you enjoying it. Your videos teaches and encourages everyone to plant and grow delicious safe organic foods. Thanks❤❤❤❤

[@lindabourgeois103]

Laura, you are amazing working out in your garden to harvest in the high temperatures. I wilt when the temperatures get that high. Your harvest always amazes me with how much you produce. We have to grow most everything in raised beds due to the gophers. I live in a zone 8, southern CA mountains at about 4700 ft. Eventually we will continue to create more raised beds to expand what we can grow. My son is the chef in the house, and he loves to go out to our garden to get the ingredients he needs for what he is cooking. Your salsa looked delicious! I learn so much from your videos. Thanks Laura!

[@kacielangley]

More cooking shows from Laura please! Watching you use what you grow is inspiring. Love the taste testing and chat with Laura and Aaron on the patio. Such a great space you have created.

[@debbiepeloso6012]

I love these types of videos where you share not only gardening but the occasional recipe or DIY project. I discovered your channel a few years ago when I was searching for "what to plant in urns" after my husband bought 2 black urns for our front steps. You made an obelisk out of embroidery hoops. I have watched you every day since!

🌻Good Morning GA peeps! 🌻 if you guys love to watch Laura and Aaron work on projects, then you will also love Janie at her channel called, "Dig, Plant, Water, Repeat". Janie just bought a good sized piece of property in the country and has a blank slate for gardening! It's so interesting to watch her plan and start projects.

[@MindyBaldwin-cz4ue]

I have just a very small garden, but it is so satisfying to grow and harvest your own food! My husband planted some Huckleberry Gold potatoes for the first time this year. He dug some up last night to take on our camping trip. Can’t wait to try them!!

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura and Aaron! What a great harvest of potatoes and onions! It was nice that you grew everything that you needed for the Pico de Gallo. It looked so good, and seeing Aaron loving it was a good confirmation that it was good! Will we be seeing an avocado tree in your future? ;-) Are you going to find a special place by the pond for Samantha's pink flamingo's? Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lindabenford7134]

I’m looking forward to seeing your avocado tree! A perfect companion for your lime tree 😃💞👍🏻

[@Tina-yi6hd]

You are such an inspiration. I used to hate gardening and so forth and now that’s all I can think about. I just want to go and do it all. I was thinking of putting a fountain in my yard so of course I googled it. I came across your channel and now I’m hooked. Thanks for sharing.
