HUGE Garden Harvest | How Many lbs Did We Get?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Hi friends, my cookbook is now available for pre-order for shipping out in October. We'll be running the sale until September 30, 2023. littlemountainranch.com/product/little-mountain-ranch-family-cookbook-2/ Thank you so much for your support of our cookbook! 😊 Love, Chelsea

[@susaningram6360]

You are so positive and great when you react to your family members. Such an inspiration to me. I have learned so much from you. My husband is so thankful I am watching your channel.

[@deno.520]

What is it about harvest videos? I could watch all day! lol

[@lindajames4122]

Love your video and totally respect your decision to protect your children.

[@alicep3286]

Hi Chelsea. I'm a new subscriber but I love all your videos especially the soup ones. There was a time when I had soup every day...yum! But I don't cook so much now. I praise God for a son who cooks for us. I make him potato salad every time I know he is coming to see us. I think to keep your children out of the videos is a wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@colleenjerns9239]

I think those small orange squash are called Kuri squash. I have grown them and love them with chicken, coconut milk and curry soup.

[@colleenhiltz6171]

I was about the comment the same. They look a lot like the Kuri squash I've received in CSA boxes.

[@mikalasimpson7789]

I love watching homesteaders harvesting the fruits of labour.

[@lornapenn-chester6867]

Eat those lovely Brussel sprout leaves! 😊 Maybe the younger children might like to make a map for you of the garden once the beds are cleared - and measure out the beds with tapes etc.. then they can help you fill in their blank map each year as you plant? Might be fun to do. ❤

[@teresalawson3732]

It’s like opening presents whose tags fell off. What fun!

[@cheryldenerichardson8020]

I hate to see your garden end!! I have really enjoyed watching you!! And I know that it makes you happy and it's made me happy too!!❤❤❤

[@annaking9213]

Enjoyed the video, but the flowers make my day . Smiling still !

[@bettelovelace4456]

So much fun watching you pull and weigh your harvest 👏👏great job ..in my opinion .. I don’t farm..but would love to have had my own garden. I love seeing this thru your eyes.. you’ve worked very hard for this bounty ..congrats to you, your husband and kids👏💜

[@DiannaGrable-fm8jd]

I love to cook Butternut Squash with, Butter, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar.

[@laurahirsche3673]

For record keeping my garden, I took a school scribbler and used that. Nothing fancy, hand drawn rectangles for the beds and lines for the rows. Write in what was planted where. I never got around to writing in varieties of veggies. But at least I knew to rotate veggies each year.

[@tamararoberts9307]

I use the leaves on the leeks as well. I chop and freeze them and add them to soups and stews, especially chili. 😊

[@tomandtinadixon]

No matter how big or how small the harvest, EVERY pound of it feels SO satisfying!

[@michelea9142]

I always wonder why you never seem to have a wagon or crate right beside you so you don't have to pick things up twice. Just a hummm. Love your channel and your sense of humor. Recipes are great, too!😊

[@danoneill2846]

Came to see the pups stayed to see the Garden

[@judyhead6602]

Chelsea, you are such a hard worker for your family. I know Dan is also a big part of the successful garden. You are indeed lucky to have the land and good health to plant a garden each year. ❤❤❤

[@Airboat-Fun]

and she always film it! Merkst Du was?

[@kimberlyearly8918]

That's a lot of fantastic food you harvested!! That cabbage was massive!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

In my country cabbage is usually preserved fermented, whole heads as well as chopped as sauerkraut. People also sometimes ferment leaves to make cabbage rolls, which are so much better with fermented cabbage. If you live in colder climate, they can last until spring like that.

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Love to see your harvesting. Very satisfying after such a dry year. Really love the old shed, have a weakness for the old tools and their history.

[@flossysmartt]

I love that you respect that you don't put your kids on your videos, we do here how kind you are too your kids every video and you guys are doing amazing I can't wait to see your next video 😊

[@nancyfaircloth3224]

That Cabbage would make yummy stuffed cabbage leaves

[@mumsie2739]

I love the sunflowers...they just make me happy🌻🌻🌻

[@staceyjones3261]

LOVE the crunch sound when picking cabbage.

[@vickihill4777]

We were always told to leave the Brussels sprouts till after a least one hard frost. We are in zone 5 so maybe that's why. I always picked them straight from the garden to serve for the holidays. Many times they were covered in snow

[@debrapratt4529]

You are such a hard worker I really like watching you I have less so much from you that I didn't know thank you very much for sharing with us

[@kr57ns]

A Wealthy apple tree was a favorite heirloom variety in our area of Nova Scotia.

[@lisaosterbauer1565]

I always put old rags on each individual squash so the vines can die back

[@Texaschik01]

What a bountiful harvest!!!!😊 I love your blue pumpkins so unique. I can't wait to see your leak & potatoes soup. We were stationed in England for 3 years and I really miss their soup 🍲

[@lilyivers3489]

The leaves of the brussel sprouts look great, they should be very tasty❤

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I just had some fried with cabbage….Delicious! - Daniel

[@lorijacobs8178]

The leaves from the brussel sprout plants are awesome for eating! It's similar to the cabbage leaves. I use them in soups and stir frys.

[@kristybialas3019]

I’m so interested to see what you do with all of the produce, especially the squash.

[@wendy3437]

You should be proud you had a drought. I Vermont USA it never stopped raining and it still keeps raining.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺I love potato and leek soup. Yum.

[@mariaanderson9008]

Glad you are weighing the cabbage

[@elleodyn]

Looks like Kuri Squash! Delicious!

[@tmart719]

Fresh leek and potato soup is always my favorite this time of year. Congrats on the the garden success! Always feels good to grow your own food and survive on your own terms.

[@scotserve]

You might not be so good at putting tags on your purchases, but your very good at everything else you do. You and your husband are absolutely brilliant,especially after the year you have all had. Next year I hope you have a great year.?

[@lifeaschronicallyingrid]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few days now (new subscriber here) and I’m learning so much from you! My fiancé and I are moving next spring and my dream is to be a homesteader. I’ve been doing a ton of research and trying to learn what to do from videos online. I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your garden life with us!

[@minervabird1967]

Lovely, lovely to see your harvest Chelsea. with those leeks you could make waterzooi with some chicken…highly recommend this Belgian chicken soup, the best comfort food ever.

[@wilderchilder2901]

So festive and colourful 🎉

[@johnensminger7675]

Looks like a bountiful harvest!! Have you ever tried trellises for you squash? Thanks for sharing your life and ideas with us!!😊

[@kevinknight470]

Salute from America, the Cabbage looks like flat head Dutch. Thanx for sharing, nice harvest. 😃

[@wholenewperspective]

You are such an impressive gardener, zone 3b. Thanks for sharing.

[@catracampolieto8989]

I love adding Brussel sprouts to my ham and split pea soup. Taste like a boiled dinner. Awesome amount of veggies. ❤

[@kathyeichholz1516]

I would be so happy to have all that squash I love them

[@HossMan48]

I am so glad you protect your husband and children. Too many folks go way overboard sharing! Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Kudos for your content.

[@maryzcorner]

The first squash is a Red Kuri squash.

[@allisonhartley6712]

I keep saying I am going to try Rachel at That 1870s homestead’s balsamic Brussels sprouts that she canned last year.

[@Sylvie_M]

The small orange Hubbard like squash may be Uchiki Kuri, a Japanese hubbard variety. West Coast Seeds carries them. They are lovely roasted with edible skin and a nutty flavour.

[@painchaud2000]

That was a great harvest! Loved all the squashes! 😉

[@nightshadeacres]

I've heard of storing root veg in sand (carrots and beets specifically) but not cabbage.

[@rutheglinton1117]

The smaller orange squash that you harvested first look like Red Kuri, also known as Potimarron squash. I grew a vine this year and harvested 4 beautiful squash. They have dry dense flesh which taste a bit like sweet potato. Great roasted in large or small chunks (I like a knob of butter on mine :) ), mashed and used for 'shepherd's pie' topping or used for soups like butternut.

[@lindawakefield-gephart9550]

It's a Kiri Squash. I bought seeds for next year to plant.

[@annhendrick8681]

Chelsea you have got to grow CUSHAW squash. You will love them and the store well and make the best pies, cakes and rolls. I’ll send you some seeds if you want them. Just let me know!

[@sgrvtl7183]

So much fun to finally see the squashes and pumpkins! I love ALL the sunflowers, everywhere you turn in your garden, they are there!! great harvest day~!

[@miriammarquez4061]

Why don’t you use a frost row cover? That way you can protect any of the ones that are not ready yet and you don’t have to worry 😊

[@janemay8721]

Wonderful harvest! Your flowers are still looking beautiful!

[@Linda-kq8ef]

I so enjoy your videos, love seeing those beautiful squash and pumpkins, so colorful. ✝️💟

[@patsyrenew1174]

Watching you makes me want to learn to garden.

[@cyndisgreenoasis6571]

Chelsea I love your videos❤❤❤

[@susanjeanwyllie5618]

in time past there was some-one working those tools etc. what a privilage you now have them

[@kellyharbaugh9391]

Yes, I enjoyed it and that sounds really good potato and leek soup. Enjoy.

[@donnanorman340]

I so enjoy watching you harvesting.I enjoy watching everything starting from a seed,watching it then the finished result. Then you preparing everything for your yearly storage. 💛 from 🇨🇦.

[@jlynnc9559]

Zone 9a. Today is supposed to be 99 degrees. I am ready for fall.

[@loricook7670]

Looks like a Flat Dutch Cabbage. Beautiful! Wonderful harvest. Thank you for sharing, Chelsea.

[@jmt7676]

Amazing job. Must give you a real sense of accomplishment and joy.

[@kikomartin-pr]

Happy to see a video. Have a great week.

[@shelliecummins5972]

Purple acre cabbages are my favorite.. down here so easy to grow..

[@kellyharbaugh9391]

I can’t wait to see your pantry of all the stuff that you canned up

[@islandveggie]

I use a similar wagon and I put a blanket in it to cushion the produce as my ground is rough and bumpy

[@Juniperberry76]

You are so inspiring! My husband and I are now planning our spring planting (Aussie). I could watch you every day!

[@giannabond8290]

Congratulations with all

[@Lia_L.]

Do you have mobile Internet? If so, you could geotag whatever you plant. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@kimp7351]

I used to play on my grandpa's scale like that! He dealt in metals and the scale was in his workshop and I can smell it in my memories just thinking about it

[@darlamanke3078]

I weigh everything as it is picked. Had a great garden year. Goal was 600 pounds and I’m on track to bring in 1200 pounds. Older, so only two of us. However grown kids, friends, and my husbands work love the sharing we do. Weighing does get addictive but a great way to compare from year to year.

[@cack121]

what an amazing harvest. Great job

[@momof2momof2]

Beautiful garden ! Well done ! Beautiful pumpkins !! That cabbage is amazing !

[@hostadaze]

My parents lived in Clearwater. Dad always had an amazing potato crop. He always added 5 wheel barrow loads of compost to each row and tilled it in. He kept them well hilled. When we dug potatoes in the fall, they were dug and put in 5 gallon buckets within a few hours and then we’d dump them in a big wooden box he built in the root cellar. We had a row of potatoes this year that the deer chewed down to just a few inches. We got half an ice cream bucket of potatoes from the entire row. 😢 Every time I see your cabbage it reminds me of my parents cabbage. Theirs was always huge like yours and never a hole in the leaves. We have to keep ours covered here or we go to Desert Hills to buy a few heads.

[@belieftransformation]

Great harvest & lots of interesting facts about storage of the produce; thanks for sharing! I love your old shed full of tools. I worked in our local museum for 28 years & recognize many of the scales, etc. I created a project where we did photos of the artifacts to accompany the digital information about the artifact. It makes it easier to identify & cross reference their accession number. Blessings to everyone 🤗💕🇨🇦

[@thenodiggardener]

This year I'm growing the Northern Candy Squash for the first time, and they are doing really well in the worst part of my garden. I spotted the Georgia Candy when ordering other seeds, and since it said they produce a slightly smaller squash I ordered those to try next year to see if they'll set more per plant. I glad you really enjoy them, because I don't know anyone else that grows them.

[@sherriekemper1828]

The porch full of squash is just glorious. I love the harvest videos. I remember years past when all of your kids were out harvesting squash and pumpkins with you and getting so excited about whose was largest. Thanks for adding KZbin to all of your other hard work.

[@RhondaCampbell-gh2jd]

So nice to see a family that does not leave a digital footprint of their children. I’m sure they will appreciate that! Love hearing the weights of the produce!

[@futurefolk9919]

What an amazing harvest 🤗. Such a blessing for you and your family. Thank you Chelsea for sharing the things in on your farm. Can't wait to see what color you paint your kitchen cabinets. 😁

[@EmmyUnwindWorld]

Seeing this garden harvest is so inspiring. Time to get planting.

[@playcolumbus2413]

We weighed and kept track of everything we grew this year for motivation! I want to do a price comparison to if we had purchased thr same amount in store to see how much we saved/grew.

[@kellyhawes9293]

I love your harvests. How very cool to use the old weights scale!!! It might make a great winter restoration project for one of the older boys and Dan. Then it could live anywhere as decor and practicality. ❤

[@tkaart2242]

Congratulations on a fabulous harvest! I weight all my produce using an old hanging scale like the one you have and I also check on my scale I use to weight on. I do the exact same thing! I weight it all and record in a book so I can see what did well and what did not, when produce really was growing the most, etc. I push myself to grow more in my backyard each year and shoot for a really high goal.

[@poodledaddles1091]

I would love to see a drone shot of your gardens, they look massive. Proud of you!

[@denisefrench8657]

Every year I say I am going to keep records of what I plant. I start out good but I don’t know what happens. Maybe next year will be better

[@smallspaceswithGloria]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@MK-wt9nj]

I appreciate you and enjoy your videos so much. Thanks🤗

[@elliephants7047]

Gosh, do I look forward to your videos! :) I can't wait to see my second of your pantry tours- having watched the whole gardening year, it will be particularly sweet! I can't imagine how cool it must be.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

It’s very rewarding sometimes! Thank you!

[@carlafawcett6494]

I freeze dried my leeks this year. N first time ! Congrats on all the pounds of food. You are blessed

[@camicri4263]

Great harvest Chelsea! I barely had any at all! Love the old gadgets! Blessings 💕🤗💕
