FYI! On your book list, Melissa K. Norris has a second book that is a companion to the family garden planner - also available on Amazon, green cover

For the bunkie wall, I would suggest hanging a mirror by the stairs. It will reflect light and provide a way for guests to check hair, etc.

[@marykoufalis7666]

I would just be concerned if it gets knocked off as people are going up-and-down seeing as how the stairs are not very wide.

[@MrsBrit1]

It can always be fully secured to the wall to prevent that happening.

[@jennifermartin5066]

Some pictures of your property would look lovely hanging on your wall in your Bunkie. More of that beautiful view. Love your dream for your property. Keep going after it.

[@lucindasutt7365]

I never tire of your outside walks. Your High Tunnel is so beautiful this year. Qnd I never get tired of the view from so many different angles. So lovely.😊

[@suewhalen3919]

After spending a few days on Georgian Bay, camping, I would have LOVED that bunkie. LOL You have done a great job. For artwork, I would love to see some photos of life on the ranch. My heart goes out to the fruit growers in the Okinawan. So far, Niagara has been spared. Much Love from Ontario.

[@nancycowan6109]

I hope this comment isn’t rude or weird. When my dear dad had the cabin that we all loved so much, there was no plumbing and an old outhouse that we used without complaint. When the little kids came along, we came up with an indoor solution for them (and for us ladies as well). We got a toilet riser (the kind you get if you have hip surgery or need a bit of a higher toilet seat) and put it on a five gallon bucket. Not all risers fit but ours did. Once time I actually found a toilet seat with metal sides and arms that would fit over a regular toilet. And the one we had had a lid. We put a five gallon bucket under that. Not to be crude, it was for #1 business only for the women of the family or the little kids and not for the big guys. NOT for them. And we ladies would take care of this in the morning. It worked for many years. And it was comfortable. Not sure where you could fit a thing like this in your sweet bunkie. But there is a comfort to getting up in the middle of the night and not having to go too far or outside. ❤️❤️

[@SJC49]

Good idea if it’s just family but renters might not be impressed!😍

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

If they’re camping in a Bunkee and are told no indoor facilities it’s there choice upfront

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Chelsea, The bunkie is so adorable. I did notice there wasn’t a fire/smoke detector in the bedroom. Hopefully you are considering installing one. The life of my family members were saved because their fire alarms woke them up. Hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe! Hugs, Doc❤

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much for the reminder!!! I don’t know how I missed that.

[@a1choiceplumbingdrain634]

We get our fruits and veggies from Paynter's Market and their fruit trees got hit with the frost and have those losses you mentioned. We will continue to support them with all their other produce as they are only a short distance from us.

[@quilterjanet]

Oh Chelsea, for a piece of art behind the couch in the Bunkie.... go to an flea market or junk/antique store and buy a quilt. You could even cut it down and frame it or just leave it whatever size and hang it. I'm a quilter, so my suggestions is, of course, the best ever! Lol!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I love that idea!

[@najwaseiya]

So nice, happy watching💗💗💗💗

[@karincope3019]

Love watching Poppy run around in the background. Such a perfect name brings a smile to your face when you hear it .

[@beverlymcmackin2908]

Chelsea I so enjoy your videos. You have so much joy and you’re so inspirational. When you started throwing all the vegetables into that pot I didn’t think that the soup would be very tasty but obviously I was wrong. Your bread looks delicious and I’m going to have to try to make some. You reminded me of myself using up the old squash… I hate to see things go to waste. God bless and that little kitten is just precious!

[@ann-utah1495]

Chelsea.. what a fun video.. I loved hearing about all the plants and how they each are doing.. you are so knowledgeable … Your sweet voice when you greet your animals is so cute…. You are really Living your best life!!! I was salivating at the end watching you cut and taste the bread… oh my!!!!’YUMMMM THANKS for another great video!! 💚☀️💚

[@patriciaflaherty5029]

It's fun to watch your channel grow. Thanks for keeping it fresh, informative, fun, and real.

[@nancycowan6109]

I agree with you. LMR is my absolute favorite KZbin channel. It’s lovely. It’s relatable. No filler music - just real real. ❤️❤️

[@user-uh7og2vt3p]

You do such a wonderful job sharing your knowledge with us. Always so helpful. Keep up the great content. Blessings to you and your family and to everyone watching your channel ❤😊

[@sharonnovotny9857]

I have loved watching you for quite awhile now and I learn something new every time. I may be 75 but love to try new things. I preserved applesauce for the first time last year using a big pot and water. It worked. New for me this year is garlic. I’m from Ontario in the small community of Collingwood about a 45 minute drive north of Toronto. God bless Sharon

[@jeneanegarwood7528]

Thanks for sharing this simple soup with us, it looks delicious and of course your bread always does too. Love touring your farm with you, it is so beautiful! How fun it will be when your bunkie retreat and campground. Slow and steady wins the race!

[@77Kbaum]

Keep some umbrellas in the Bunky room they could come in handy when it rains. ☔️

[@kimberlyzachmann2897]

My childhood was filled with garden goodies and jarred stewed tomatoes. Sadly ended when I was 12 because my grandma had passed and few later my father from cancer. Watching you has inspired and started to build confidence on trying my hand at growing and canning for my family. I want my kids to experience my memories and delicious foods too. Still starting out, but we are even thinking of moving so I can have chickens! (Our area is a no farm animal zone).

[@LittleMountainRanch]

If I can support and encourage you in any way let me know!

[@mycrookedlittlehomestead8703]

Good afternoon Chelsea, I'm watching your video while in my garden your gardens are starting to look amazing, the cabin is beautiful Dan did an amazing job putting it together and you did an amazing job decorating. When you cut the freshly baked bread it brought back memories for me I lost my mom when I was 19 going on 20 growing up she always baked homemade bread and she would cut both ends off one for her and one for me and we would always have it with hot homemade cocoa thank you so much for your videos

[@jamiekendall7245]

I absolutely love the end of fresh baked bread ❤😊

[@shelia387]

I love watching u and u do inspire me and make me want to spend more time outside on my farm

[@AZJH8374]

Chelsea, you pulling your beautiful locks back when you cook brings me joy! You, Becky, 1872, & Rebecca are the only homesteaders that l can think of that do that. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️ 💙 Great job, Dan! ❤❤

[@tammygreen7180]

Do you have any children

[@BakeALegAndLetsDigIt]

I pull mine back as well ❤

[@teriharman566]

Soup and bread look delicious. Love how well your garden is doing. I just love the bunky, too. You sweet kitten is so precious. Thank you for sharing

[@suegeer5815]

I look all the time to see all your videos. I learn so much from you. Thank you for all your help.❤❤❤

[@danamama6766]

I love the forest garden. And I love borage and I have a few self seeded this year and I am so excited. Bunkie is so adorable and cozy. Soup I can taste it. yum. hugs

[@elizaC3024]

I just made a clean out the refrigerator and scraps from the freezer, and bits and bobs of partial freeze dryer bags that were open in the kitchen into a 😊stir fry.

[@dhansonranch]

Looks great around there! Soup looks wonderful. Good thing there are two heals - I too enjoy the heal! LOL.

[@sandyrees490]

I’m fairly new to food preservation and look forward to seeking all of the ways you preserve the produce from your garden

[@Queenie12]

Love the Bunkie!😊

[@sgrvtl7183]

Your soup sounds very good! I do agree that caramelized onions is ‘a good bet’ for the soup!

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

That bunkie is so cute. That soup looks good, great use of your veggies. Nancy from Nebraska

[@tinabow3812]

I really like how you always keep your hair pulled back between a bun or a ponytail. Lot of shows I watch their hair is just strangling you see it like when they leaned over gets in their food. That's a No-No.

[@bellabailey1183]

I feel your joy! Inside and outside!! Thank you.💕

[@simoneclarke5104]

We have had awful weather here in Manitoba, so much rain, nothing is thriving. Your bunkie looks great, so cozy!

[@paulaworton7410]

you could put the Little Mountain Ranch logo on the wall above the sofa in the bunky

[@susaningram6360]

Showed my husband some of this video. He was impressed by all that you do. I love to can. Do not have a dehydrator or freeze dryer. Usually stay with jams: apricot, red plum. Also tried some red plum butter. It was fantastic when poured over pork chops that are being baked. Next, want to try canning legumes. We use a lot of black and pinto beans. Just nervous about it since I have never canned anything other than the fruit that was successful.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Hi Chelsea, the bunkie looks great! I love the view. I know why you like being outside.

[@edriereedy1007]

I would love to have one of your cookbooks u have made me a 100%fan I watch u a lot but all n all I do want ur cookbook ❤❤❤

[@happyhobbit8450]

Yes it got cold here (Columbia valley BC) too the other night (6 and could see breath) and then it heated up over 20 C so some of my transplants melted :) Thanks for the tour!!!

[@carissalizotte8977]

I really appreciate the cooking aspect of your content! Watching you cook gives me confidence in the kitchen! Thank you!

[@greenrockgarden2851]

Lucky! It’s so warm here that garden pests are not killed off every year. We get cabbage moths during some Winters. If you want to look at a positive side, we do have long growing seasons.

[@pamgarman8826]

So glad I recently found your channel. Besides the canning and gardening I enjoyed seeing you make recipes from the older cookbooks. Your future plans for the ranch sound so nice.

[@lindagraff4842]

It really is very beautiful at your place. The Bunkie looks very inviting.

[@nancycowan6109]

I know you’ve told us the temp of your storage room, but could you tell me again how cool it is down there for your squash? It’s just amazing that you have squash from last harvest here in June. Best wishes to you always. ❤️

[@sandravollmar6646]

Forjars sure is coming along. Love those jar bags.

[@catracampolieto8989]

I'd like to say it's very kind of you to do giveaways. If it wasn't so hot here I'd be making some bread. The soup and bread looked delicious. ❤❤❤

[@bellabailey1183]

Your kitchen is so pretty! It suits you. Love your content!🩵💕

[@sgrvtl7183]

I am so glad Poppy came around for this video! Her coloring and facial features are beautiful. She is adorable💜

[@gardengrowinmawmaw8642]

I see you in coveralls and long sleeves, and it makes me sweat!! We here in Virginia, have been up in the high 90's, with no rain. When the wind blows, it's like being under a blow dryer. Great content as always.

[@karincope3019]

Ended up with 30 jars of Strawberry jam when I was done . Used my steam canner for the first time making jam and it is so much faster . I enjoyed watching/listening to you while I was prepi g and making it . I used my berry hulled and it was so quick and very little waste of the berries just the steam and hull .

[@ka6148]

I'm also a bread END girl We call it a butter bowl🤩

[@carissalizotte8977]

Borage is absolutely crazy! 😂 it’s one of my favorites so I’m ok the it but man do they go crazy!

[@dsgardenadventures]

I live in Lower Alabama. Borage does not do well here in the heat and humidity. I wish it did.

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

Hi Chelsea so nice to see you. I 100% agree on the forjars products. There seals and lids are little more expensive than the others brands but when you are buying your ingredients for your canning and how expensive they are why would you take that chance of not having a good seal and I have never had a problem with forjar lids not sealing Your garden is really taking off. So sad about your cukes. Mother Nature you never know what she will throw at us. I make bread every couple of days and find such joy from it let alone the taste and aroma of it baking. Soup well you can never get enough of it and the perfect way to use up food from the pantry and fridge. Poppy is so adorable!! Enjoy your outside in the sunshine and see you soon.

[@flhJisL2500]

Cute jars, here in north Tx weare in the 89's feel hotter than that because of humidity . Enjoy hearing your knowledge of gardening and canning.

[@Lorin-G]

My cucumbers have really struggled this year. I live not too far from you on the Kitsap Peninsula.WA I've re-planted three times....If we don't get some sunny days in a row, I may not have any this year!

[@HealingPlaceCottage]

The heel of the loaf is my favorite as well!! ~Kim

[@glendasmith7507]

I really love how you always find a way to get creative in the kitchen to use everything up so it won’t go bad 😊

[@Kat_WD]

Oh, I got my Poppy fix for the day! 🎉

[@jmuth890]

Love your farm. Looks like a wonderful life.

[@melindarains3130]

I love that you share your kitchen and ranch with us.

[@karendooks6244]

Lovely as always, thick butter on that end piece yum.

[@kevinknight470]

Thanx for sharing, God bless You and Your Family.😃

[@pansyvaughan5624]

Big difference to what is happening in my area, the okanagan, my scarlet runners are 7 ft tall already, it's been cool fir about 2 weeks, so alit is slow but now with 30 degrees things are growing faster

[@carmendoyle9786]

I love that u are in Canada 🇨🇦 just like my self . Hope the weather been good for u . With all rain and heat ! Thank h for sharing your beautiful place and farm ! I love seeing your little lambs. When u talk tj the. U glow . I can tell they are one of your happy place ! ❤

[@karincope3019]

What does everyone call Chelsea’s favourite piece of bread ? We call it the Heal .

[@user-zn4nc1qi8t]

Soup sounds interesting! I love creating new soups my husband loves them. You are so resorceful!

[@mojoflyingsolo639]

We are into cherry season here in Washington State. There won't be a very big crop because of the frost during the bloom. I didn't see any apricot or peaches bloom this spring, but the apple tree we have was totally covered by blooms.

[@belieftransformation]

Great visit with you as you share your cooking, gardening, dreams & the perfect views! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@lbcustomleather]

Thats awesome Chelsea thank you for doing the giveaway ! Good luck everyone ❤😊

[@zinnialoveci6634]

I love the heel of the bread too ❤❤❤

[@LenaDianeJ]

I love the bunky! You should give them all flower names as you build them to differentiate between them. The one you have now might be The Larkspur Cabin, another might be the Rose Cabin, Sunflower, etc. Just a thought. :-)

[@TheNoTillGardener]

I’m so sorry about the loss of the stone crops! So sad for the families who rely upon their production each season. For what it’s worth, Kroger has begun selling Georgia peaches from semi’s in their parking lots throughout their marketing areas, which is vast. In the summer months going forward they will be mimicking The Peach Truck operations. I’m not sure if Kroger has operations in Canada but if they do, their buying power will help offset the high costs of importing from south USA.

[@emilywhite2884]

I absolutely love your videos!! After a long day of chores and gardening I love to relax and watch you share your day with us. The soup looks fun!

[@scotserve]

The bunkie turned out wonderful I'm jealous I wish I wasn't so scared of flying I would love it there. Some people are in for a treat to stay there lucky them. Jean Scotland ps I know Dan did most of the building of the bunkie, was it Chelsea that Decorated the interior because you done a wonderful job. And I'm just a noisy person I won't tell you what my husband would call me.

[@chrisanndunn8814]

I will try to find an old New Orleans cookbook for you and send to you. Gumbo…..YUM. Have a happy weekend.

[@kathleenritter4532]

Love your videos. Not sure what I did wrong but I couldn't find your bread recipe (even tried searching) on your website. I found few others that look yummy though. Would really like to try your bread because I have not been very successful. Happy gardening!

[@lindakunkel2470]

Maybe a sweet dumpling or carnival squash?

[@deenamaness6731]

The bunkie looks amazing!

[@greenrockgarden2851]

I’ve been wanting a pressure canner for a while. I’m limited to things that can be water bathed for now. I love canning thus far. 💕

[@katherinedaigle31]

Thank you so much for giving me peace during my late-night writing; I am a writer. Your suggestions are helping me understand what it takes to grow my own food. I started my own garden in planters here in California.

[@kikomartin-pr]

Have a wonderful weekend.

[@dharmaslife]

Carnival/ Festival squash ❤

[@paulettebarber7219]

So enjoying seeing your garden. It’s been a hard spring for gardening down here in Montana also. I just plant things and do my best. I hope to enclose my garden boxes into a greenhouse next year to make things a little easier. Cooking isn’t always my favorite thing either, especially as I’m older now and my kids live in a separate cabin. I don’t cook for the family now. I find myself looking for fast recipes and things I can freeze portions of to just pop in the oven. I still do a lot of baking, especially sourdough breads, and my favorite cookies. Who don’t want to come to grandmas house for goodies 😂😂

[@julieschmidt5217]

Really enjoy your videos....I make "Zombie soup "or "Dead Veggie soup" when I have left over anything. Always a good standby in the freezer. Totally full of goodies.

[@karincope3019]

Prepping 15 pound of Asparagus to pickle and then making Strawberry Jam with 40 pounds of berries as I watch this .

[@karincope3019]

For your abundance seed potatoes , have you ever freeze dried mashed potatoes to use later or as a thickener for gravy/soups or stews ?

[@oldnanz]

That soup looked really good. It’s been to hot here to cook. Let alone make break. It’s been running about 18 degrees hotter than normal. Last three days were 95-97 degrees with a feels like temp of 105 and up. We only have two or three days of 90 degrees in August. Not looking forwards to this summer with this heat.

[@cherylgann1993]

I am inspired!

[@camicri4263]

Blessings!

[@rjohnson610]

I love for jars lids. I haven't had a single seal fail that wasn't a user error yet!

[@LindaNoland]

I am in Mo. and all of our stone fruit 🍑 and I am so sad for all who lost all their products 😮

[@neliaschmidt2638]

Borrage, plant once have forever 😂, but I do love that it makes the bees very happy! Here by me, I let them be until the other flowers take of.

[@TheKathie56]

Hi Chelsea I live in Fl and our local fresh market brings in Georgia peaches. I bought 25 lbs of freestones and canned them. I think I may go back for more. Not super sweet but very juicy and the skins rubbed off in my hands after a quick blanch.

[@tammywatts4798]

Love your videos!!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you!!

[@tennagrover6140]

When I walk thru my garden, I wonder what would Chelsea think?

[@melissadimoush8196]

I haven’t seen a cover on the water container before. What is that used for? Love the bunkie and I could live there forever!

[@tamaramcgrath3327]

Love your book list. Thank you

We lost peaches to frost here in SW Michigan too.😢

[@michelea9142]

Love to make that type soup. We call our😊 soup refrigerator/freezer clean out. Love watching your videos.
