Late Summer Garden Tour PLUS some Harvesting Tips

[@donnap587]

Wasn't this the most enjoyable video? I love watching you all working the garden .

[@Mike-hn4uu]

What an absolute dream of a life and lot and view you have. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!

[@tbaker6938]

I would love to see a bean tunnel video too. Love it

[@ldg2655]

Man!! Watching this video made my fingers itch to get in there and pick, pull, dig and cut!!! I like that cattle panel method of hanging onions to dry. That's one i haven't seen yet.

[@dharper9332]

Wow ...….just wow!!!!

[@rachelc.7152]

What an incredible accomplishment for your first year on a "new to you" homestead! It's obvious how much hard work you have all put into your gorgeous, incredibly productive garden. Thank you for the tour, I really enjoy seeing other families gardens. I'm in Western WA and it's been a rough year for cukes and tomatoes here as well; my harvests have not been near the size that they were the past few years. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@emilym155]

Oversized zucchini are the best for zucchini breads! Chocolate banana and cinnamon nutmeg are my two favourites! Don’t knock it till you try it

[@Britainberry]

NOW THAT'S A GARDEN!!!

[@patriciaevans380]

Would love to see how you make your bean tunnel. It is a great idea.

[@brittanystephens6574]

Love this!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@JenaTuckerAquariums]

Beautiful!! My dream garden. Love the bean tunnel. Wow to have grapes like that. Y'all are surely blessed 😄

[@TheSjlewis]

Just wondering if you will be showing how you harvest dried seeds for next year and how you do seed storage. Thank you for such great videos. Stephanie West Union IA

[@vallis1469]

Magnificent! What an amazing day. Congratulations on your harvest. (Love the helpers, too!)

[@dawncooper4739]

Awesome harvest!

[@tinastinyliving686]

What a beautiful harvest of everything. I especially love the hanging onions. Wow! You guys have done mega work.

[@PatsyMellen]

My husband would use drying racks (frames made out of chicken wire) to cure the onions.

[@sandralyttle6579]

Brilliant harvest, gardens doing really well. Hard work really pays off

[@debbiebix]

Your hard work has certainly paid off. So nice to see such a great harvest. You are such a blessing to us. Thanks for sharing.

[@vmorganbogart]

Great harvest. Love your little helpers. Don’t see much of the kids. Good to see everybody working together. Looks like Carolyn is going to busy processing. Love your channel. Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸

[@NancyfromCanada]

Love the garden tour! Awesome great job especially with your rushed start! Good eating this winter! Love bean tunnel as well! Nancy from Canada

[@yvetteoglesby8797]

Thank you guys....

[@amandaowens9022]

Would you please share your seed saving techniques? Thanks for the garden tour! Your family is fabulous!

[@angelacross2216]

Well done.

[@mikegriffin3437]

Excellent haul. Loved the train in the beginning. We lived next to a track many years ago. I sure miss it. It took a long time to adjust to not being next to it. Almost could not sleep without the horn and the click clack of the wheels on the track.

[@stevenssunshinefarm5560]

The garden looks terrific!!

[@ladyrae2091]

loving your been tunnel... what a great idea.

[@mattfinchdesign]

The bean tunnel is an excellent idea, going to copy that one!

[@appalachianmercantile]

Wow! Lot's to do today....have fun with it. :)

[@amandaevensonthehappyhippi5110]

I love every aspect of your homestead, and your family is absolutely wonderful!! Good job guys!! My tomatoes did surprisingly well this year too considering the cold wet spring start we had here in upstate NY!! I also love the little secondary broccoli heads! My cukes did not fair well either but I had an abundance of green beans, now stored away to enjoy this winter!! I am inspired by your videos!! Have you guys done any work with companion planting systems? Similar to the Native planting of the three sisters together? I have had great success growing carrots among my tomatoes! I have a small yard with one raised bed so I try to maximize my use of space , but space does not seem to be an issue for you lol!! I love to see all of your improvements and modifications!! Thank you for sharing your lives and journey through homesteading with us all!!

[@RoseFelton]

Love, love, love your garden. So envious! I especially love your bean tunnel. Makes me wonder if I can do something like that in my little garden.

[@valeriepowell1736]

Great job. You have wonderful helpers.

[@christasmicroflowerfarm2695]

Amazing.💚😍🌻🍅🌻

[@EricaD61]

Wow those onions look amazing! I'll have to try those next.

[@karenlyle322]

This was a great video!!! But I’m tired just watching y’all bring in all that food. The kiddos were so adorable 😀

[@Cenepk101]

Wait a minute !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Zucchini flowers can be harvested and eaten I have zucchini envy BIG TIME... In Ga - I get a gorgeous plant- fabulous flowering, 2 zucchinis and the squash bugs destroy EVERY SINGLE YEAR..... So jealous !!!!!

[@stephaniejohnson3739]

Absolutely loved this video and seeing your abundant harvest! I also love your bean tunnel and will definitely be making one for my garden next year. Your helpers are sure cute too!

[@plante_n_seeds4505]

Your grapes look fantastic! I'm glad to know if my tomatoes don't ripen, I can take them in and let them finish ripening inside. There are so many on the plants this year and I don't want to lose them.

[@PatsyMellen]

Plante_N_ Seeds, my friend would wrap in newspapers and put into boxes to ripen. Had tomatoes in November for deer camp.

[@davidjustice4029]

Garden looks awesome!! love your bean tunnel. I think I'm going to try that next spring.Send some of that cool weather to N.W. Mississippi!!

[@deborahlewis3954]

I need grape growing lessons from you !

[@ritarichardson3881]

Totally enjoyed this. I'm so envious. Lol

[@denisestone8491]

Wow! Great harvest! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@Freakontheway]

Looking good! Your hard work paid off indeed. Thank you for sharing, by the way, I am going to write down some stuff I saw in this video, so that I can find it when I start our vegetable garden (hopefully somewhere before next summer-season...). Things like that cattle panel for curing onions or straw not only as mulch on, but also between the growing-beds. I need to learn a lot :D

[@mikecourteau6567]

I love watching your videos. I've actually binged watching them! I just watched the video on harvesting and preserving herbs. Many herbs can be harvested and hung to dry but I've never seen one doing this with basil. Is there a reason it could not be done? Iknow basil leaves are extra sensitive but what would prevent me from hanging them to dry?

[@Spiceandicesights]

Amazing work! Keep it up!

[@CamppattonFamilyCompound]

Good to see you guys doing so good in northern Idaho. We had bad luck down here in southeastern Idaho

[@elenatwine7073]

Maybe for the next year, would be nice to see what you do in the garden weekly or monthly, planting, fertilising, harvesting different crops. Do you use stive solomon method?

[@bowenfamilyfarm9776]

I wouldnlike to see how uou do your bean tunnel. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@davekleiboeker4614]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYmyiWSkr6ihl7M

[@PatsyMellen]

We used the beans tunnel for years but never thought to grow cabbage in the shade. Great idea.

[@maryvt3075]

Do you have a video on making your bean tunnel?

[@stephaniejohnson3739]

Mary VT yes I’d love to see a video for a bean tunnel as well!

[@elenatwine7073]

I'd love to know about that too 😀

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Not yet. I am going to move one, so possibly later this fall or in the spring!

[@calliefournier4545]

Homesteading Family would definitely love to see how you have them anchored so well.

[@PeasAndChoiFarm]

Yes, please. Would LOVE to see how you make the bean tunnel. My garden has really suffered in the heat and intense sun this year, and I’m hoping your bean tunnel would alleviate some of that.

[@homesteadincrazy7773]

try companion planting with basil or nasturtiums for flea beetles. Just a though.

[@kyletracey5819]

Nice ! Was a late start here in ontario canada. Ill be having fried green tomatoes it looks. And some smaller cucs. But got quite a few nice cucs and some amazing off the vine beefsteak tomatoes. Here its sooo nice having tomatoes with actual taste ! A nice deep red inside too ! Just did a small raised bed garden this season. Its been many years. Next season im going to go alot bigger and plant early. Ill start plants inside come early spring. Great lifestyle. Enjoy your posts. Thank you. Cheers from canada. I wont raid your garden, no worries there guys. Haha

[@calliefournier4545]

It’s hard to tell from the video, are the green beans planted outside the cattle panels? Have you ever done squash to climb up cattle panels like that? Thinking it would be a space saver. Love your videos!!

[@homesteadincrazy7773]

Our carrots and sweet potatoes taste like soap though. Any ideas on that one??? You two are amazing!!!

[@hayleyroy4810]

Josh - Could you go through some of the garden tools/supplies you use - and maybe some suggestions as to where to get them? Like the cattle panels, where? What size? (I love the tunnel!) and maybe how much is too much to pay - the one's I can find are quite pricey. The ground cover etc... And what you plan to put into place for the watering system and how. Mother nature dropped a tree on my garden this year and destroyed everything. My que to start fresh I guess!

[@homesteadincrazy7773]

What kind of okra did you try? It also should be in the sun more - anywhere you have lots of sun and heat. if you didn't use this one, try Clemson spineless, it is an heirloom and starts producing at about 10 inches high. Heat is what you are missing though. Plant on the south side for sure. It grows great here in North Alabama.

[@brendaheadrick4151]

Hey! You mentioned how you love Okra, and doesnt do well at your place! I have a suggestion for you! I am growing ,even, as I speak Okra in plastic mop buckets from dollar tree and galvanized foot tubs and various pots and one 7 gal grow bag.It has gotten abt 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 ft tall!! I m harvesting off my 8 plants abt 7 pids every other day right know zbt 2 nd week of harvesting! If you want Okra , grow in containers!! Wat3r dvery morning , miracle gro every other week 1-2 Tbs per gal of water, after plants get abt 1 ft tall ! Make sure to put drain holes in bottom of pots tubs ,or buckets! I have 10 plants! Good luck!

[@homesteadincrazy7773]

what do you use for mulch??? Your onions are awesome

[@yvonneperez3925]

This may be a dumb question, but how do you water your garden? Do you have a video on that? I'm in South Texas and seriously thinking we're need to move to a greener place if we want to grow a big garden. Love your channel! Thanks for sharing all your great info!

[@rawfoodelectric]

I need to see how you are composting. It's year 2 for me and I dont even have a 3X3 foot compost amount.

[@jackpate6205]

Amazing tour! I wish our growing season lasted as long and was as productive as yours. Thank you Georgia heat. Random question. With your little ones, as they began teething, what natural remedies did you use?

[@PatsyMellen]

We would cut the seed tops off and wait till the onion tops dried before harvesting them. Have we been doing it wrong all these years?

[@stoner2439]

Wow! That garden looks amazing, Josh! So is that just old hay you're using for mulch? Do you ever have problems with any grass seeds sprouting from that?

[@chloemypet]

Hiya!! Great Job!! I am interested in learning more about tomatioe's..I have never heard of them before. My cucs also did not do so well this year and my tomatoes are just now turning red. We have already had a light frost so fingers crossed the garden can finish up before a hard frost sets in. Would love to see a video on your seed saving techniques I already do the obvious ones but not sure about the beets and such.

[@TheWatching11]

Hi Susan! "Tomatillo" is the spelling and hopefully will help you in your search. They are pretty straight forward to grow, with few pest and weed issues. The purple variety store longer than the larger green variety. Do keep in mind they are not self-pollinating, so you'll need at least two plants. Good luck and hope you have tons of delicious salsa in your future!

[@juliest-francois8874]

Beautiful gardens! What grow zone are you in?

[@mattingly1217]

Hey wait a minute now... how do you get the squash to grow in the shade?

[@jimjames3168]

And you only use compost? Really? And only at the time of planting? That is amazing.

[@Amanda_in_wonderland]

What types of grapes are you growing?

[@florafaunaful]

What variety of greats do you have? I’ve got Catawba in my little garden here in the UK (don’t ask). You have tons of harvest, how do you process all of it? How many freezers, how many jars do you can? I’m a small (1 person) homestead in the UK, and just wondering how you get it all settled away. And what happens if you don’t have enough to process at harvesttime? (I know you probably don’t have that issue, but a small homesteader like me and a lot of inclement weather makes harvesting in such a way quite difficult. Love your channel. Just made Switschel!

[@rhodachavarria1430]

What kind of beans do you have on the tunnel?

[@robinmcmillen7917]

I really liked this video and I can’t find your potato harvest

[@kaicy6834]

Just curious, but do your children go to public school?

[@mandythislovelypath3740]

No, they homeschool :)

[@Cenepk101]

Now THIS is a homestead !!!!!! Unbelievable

[@abidingacreshomestead4925]

Yes Please! Would love to see how you store the green tomatoes? I was so late this year and I have tons of fruit but none are ripe yet and we have already had 2 nights of frost which I covered and they made it through but won't be long before the big frost comes up here in ON, so am very interested to save my green tomatoes???

[@katherineford7079]

or eat Fried Green Tomatoes
