BIGGEST Harvest of the Year! | A Year's Worth of Onions, Best I've Ever Grown

[@NaBi_1307]

I will never get over the fact that you consider -30°C a warm winter. I live in the Mediterranean region, we don't even get frost most of the years so it's mind-blowing that you guys can survive those temperatures😭

[@heathermiddleton4958]

Live in Atlantic Canada. Minus 30 is very mild here...lol.

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

Our winters are definitely within the -30°C realm (I live in US so we would say -22°F) but we wouldn't call it warm either. We have a few days that get that cold but below zero is typical winter.

[@quercusilex2559]

Same, next to the Mediterranean sea bur from the Netherlands so I appreciate. But I miss the green landscapes.

[@seedyhollow]

You get used to it and learn how to dress for it, the snow looks like diamonds when the sun hits it when it is that cold!!! It is truly beautiful and a welcome rest for if we never got a frost we would be growing all the time. We love hibernating and eating our bountiful harvests.

[@SallyGreimes]

Lots of layers is the survival of ultra cold. It is hard to think of no deep cold temps in winter.😊

[@tammymurphy2707]

Chelsea, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your channel. It’s entertaining, educational and just a pleasure to watch!💖

[@kaymack5304]

I usually watch KZbin videos at double speed, but I decided to watch this at normal speed. The thing that astounds me is that you seem to move at a leisurely pace, yet you get more done in a day than I do in a week.

[@barbaralewis3281]

My Mom used to make 'special' dishes for Thanksgiving. One of them was Tarragon Peaches. As I recall, it was a can or two of canned peaches with a bit butter, brown sugar bit of cinnamon and a teaspoon or tablespoon of tarragon vinegar from the grocery. It was very good and such a good addition to our usual Thanksgiving feast

[@kekiplus1andonly]

This us the onion harvest I've ever seen🎉🎉🎉congratulations 🎊 👏 to ya'll

[@judyjudys2082]

Chelsea , I can’t figure out where you get all your energy , you are just like the energizer bunny . You are absolutely amazing . I’m new to your vlog but I have quickly become a fan of yours . Just by listening I feel I have learned so much from you with the bits of information you share . Enjoy watching you preserve all your food you have grown and even the meat and fruit you purchased . Everyday I look for a vlog of yours and am always lucky to find one . 🌸🌷🌸

[@cynthiafisher9907]

She says it’s the afternoon nap she takes.every day.

[@helenan7368]

Hi Chelsea, tarragon vinegar, made with white wine vinegar and fresh tarragon, is quite common in France.

[@gregoryl9791]

For bearnaise sauce 😉 Delicious 😊

[@ElinWinblad]

Where can be buy French tarragon seeds? They only seem to sell Russian tarragon and it doesn’t taste as good

[@yolanditrollip557]

We're emmigrating from South Africa, where I garden year round and preserve the minimum because most veggies are always in season to Canada....I'm learning alot from your videos. Thank you

[@tammyjones8102]

South

[@michelinebercier-lariviere3095]

If you want to keep a nice colour on the cut straw flowers, you should have them dry in the dark. Sunlight will bleaches the colours away.

[@lisaaustin6403]

I haven't made all my own everything in years. But you are getting me started again

[@lillypatience]

Chelsea: They’d have to be pretty sneaky and pretty quiet to get by my dogs. Black Bear: Challenge accepted.

[@carriesummers6949]

Those onions look AMAZING!! It would be wonderful if we could get a total weight of the harvest!!!

[@lehnhardtdevonek.8479]

Fried onions and corn bread is delicious!

[@christinenewell2679]

Happy memories for me …… I used to grow straw flowers in abundance and always loved them. I’ve had to stop gardening because of a stroke I had 4 years ago. But I love my KZbin videos….. up popped some straw flowers😍. I used to buy florists wire to help me with my arrangements. We just cut the heads off and pushed the wires in. Maybe you do that too. Love from Belfast Northern Ireland. (PS…. I love all your gardening, cooking, canning videos…. very interesting).

[@Jaynes-Path]

I'm not sure if they can ship to your area but I'll bet you can plant in a Greenstalk planter. A aunt of mine had a stroke and is using a wheelchair or a wheeled walker with a seat to get around. She always had a kitchen garden and really missed not being able to get out in the yard. We got her a large pocket (10 inch deep) Greenstalk with a extra wheeled base and a extra tray to make 2 towers, 3 levels high. She has them on her back porch and because they spin and move she can move them around from her seated position. She loves them so much that her family bought her the smaller pocket tower (7 tiers and 7 inch deep pockets) for herbs, salad greens and plants or flowers that have shallow roots. They also ordered a extra base to split it into two She grows everything from cherry tomatoes, bush beans, all her herbs and flowers right on her small patio outside the door.

[@FareDaze62]

I use tarragon white wine vinegar to make pickled beets, yummy

[@ourhomesteadclassroom]

Just a heads up on the Strawflowers... The ones with open centers may go to seed while drying in the greenhouse. From my experience, if I want to dry them for crafts or decorations, it's been best to harvest them when some of the petals are still closed around the center yellow portion. But congrats on your growing skills, because I've never been able to get mine so tall and florifrerous as yours!

[@ingoseltmann9702]

Sage is good in teas, to fight a cold.

[@susanmurten6178]

France uses a lot of tarragon. You can also use tarragon in place of dill in pickles (tiny ones) which are called cornichons.

[@rebeccareimer9915]

Earwigs were a major issue for us in NS this year! Way more than we usually get, found them in my cabbages, my flower heads, the corn everywhere!

[@joycemariepopp1311]

I can barely grow a weed so I am always impressed by your beautiful and prolific garden. I watch about 6-8 KZbin homesteading channels❤ Your cabbage, cauliflowers, pumpkins and celery are the largest I have seen all year. Many Blessings

[@lindaedwards9756]

You can grow things! Just don’t give up , watch learn and grow. That’s how you learn and soon you will be addicted as well.

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Praying you feel better quickly Chelsea. Great harvest.

[@smallgardendiaries]

the last timei saw you harvest celery the snipping sound was soooo satisfying!

[@trumpgirl1193]

Hi Chelsea, the origin of tarragon vinegar is in Italy. ❤regards from Germany

[@vernedadavis367]

One day I'm going to catch up on your videos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@GayLeeKilpatrick]

You can insulate a raised bed by surrounding the bed with bales of hay. It could help your herbs overwinter.

[@seedyhollow]

We got our first frost here in zone 3 in Northwestern Ontario near Thunder Bay. I didn't get out to cover some got it and some didn't like my ground cherries, peppers and tomatoes but spared the pole beans. Corn is touched and so were the cantaloupe and sugar baby.

[@deborahleeedwards5510]

BEAUTIFUL ONIONS!!!

[@suzanneford1571]

Sheep and cows love pumpkins and squash too

[@rebeccamccarthy4419]

Tarragon with thyme and lemon in fried mushrooms, is absolutely heavenly highly recommend!

[@kathyh.8563]

My potted lemon balm comes back every spring here in WI. I just move the pot up against the house for winter.

[@horticultureandhomes]

We have plenty of black bear and the large honey producers use a heavy duty 3 wire electric fence around their bee yards. It does keep the bears out. Every now and then they may damage the fence attempting to get in but are not sucessful.

[@debbiee6535]

I would like to see how you make horseradish sauce

[@theresaegbuniwe5808]

All the flowers make your farm look so whimsical and special.

[@paulaworton7410]

Hope you're feeling better. I have a son in Vancouver. Would love to come out there soon. He was a bit sniffly when I spoke to him earlier too. Take care x

[@brendajenkins3519]

You’re in for it now! Saw my first earwig when my 49 year old daughter was in high school. We now have lots of those ugly creatures.

[@kathleenfrost6563]

Oregano overwinters beautifully!

[@donscott6431]

I love tarragon. I use it for everything from sauces, reductions, to seasoning yellow crookneck squash and brussels sprouts. And, yes, vinegar

[@leenapande9590]

I live in south of India, where we get close to 300 days of sunshine. We don’t have the tradition of preserving food the way you do..coz we get seasonal vegetables (I am a vegetarian). Having said that my family makes the most amazing mango pickle.. we make pickle right from small tender mangoes to till it begins to ripen.. we make sweet mango jelly and mango jam and sweet and sour mango chutney (to die for).. I am amazed at the amount of work you put in during the short warm period to harvest and preserve for the harsh winters.. more power to you ❤

[@susanminshall8224]

Great video!

[@maryglidden2943]

Hope your sniffles are all gone and that you are feeling better. My onions are maybe 2 1/2 inches in diameter! I'm about to give up on growing them! Loved seeing your tarragon also- gosh again, my plant is so small! I must not be loving on them as much as you do!

[@jennifer6833]

You must sleep so good at night Chelsea with all of the hard work you do throughout your day non stop. I admire homesteaders, all of you are so underrated. Have you ever been to Rory Feek’s Homesteading events that he holds in early June? He’s also added a homeschooling event. Thank you for sharing all of this information with us, you’re a great educator. Will we be able to watch the canning process this year? Last year I saw the vlog on your canned storage room which was amazing. First video I ever watched of your channel because it came up in my feed.

[@gouthambm4369]

I from India (southern part) here in peak winter months temperature roaming around +18 and 20c max. i couldn't imagine in - 30 c how things gonna work's

[@journeywithnichole]

Thank you for that info about the bees sleeping on the flowers. It’s a lovely symbiotic morning relationship ❤🐝🌻

[@naomihartman6623]

Hope u get well I find your Chanel so interesting

[@cindyparker9920]

Hope you feel better soon. I have a cold now as well. Cherokee purple are my favorite tomatoes to grow here in Texas.

[@jolandafrijlink6103]

I have so much trouble growing onions they never seem to grow, i'm going to watch that video.

[@samstevens7888]

If you pull the horseradish from the rock garden, I pretty much guarantee you will still have it in the Rock garden forever. Do not ask me how I know this lol

[@justpatty7328]

I love when you say "pace myself," I'm tired at watching you work in this video. Well done! God bless!

[@jmt7676]

Whenever I watch one of your uploads, one word comes to mind. WOW.

[@ijahdagang6121]

Beautiful garden and nice video, love it..wish you success and be healthy always

[@lisaburns235]

Love love love your harvest videos.

[@mia.m1111]

So cool that you're growing native Australian flowers over in Canada! We call them paper daisies here 🏵

[@momof2momof2]

Wow such bounty !!

[@VictoriaPL]

I love fresh Tarragon for Chicken Kiev. Drooling over that plant!

[@carrieosborn3080]

My favorite thing to use fresh sage with is making sage brown butter for pasta! It’s delicious!

[@susanmueller1411]

Its in France for tarragon vinegar

[@brendamiller8140]

I just love love your videos and you do most things just like my Family have done down through the years. That being Canada I guess. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️💚🥰🤗

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the harvest

[@lunachic03dh]

HOLY ONIONS!!!!! WoW what a GREAT harvest!!! In fact, what a GREAT garden!!! All of it looks fantastic!!! Wonderful work Chelsea!!! I’m super jealous!!!!

[@wendyweddell2782]

I always over winter my lavender plants inside.

[@samanthaferreira6928]

Ugh it was a horrible earwig year here in Thunder Bay (also zone 3). It’s never been this bad.

[@SallyGreimes]

One of the secrets to productive garden is to match flowers in sequence to veggies. Keep the bees coming to your garden keeps them to pollenate your garden.

[@jocelynfuell2269]

Hi. I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos. Thanks so much for your educational tips from cooking and food preservation on your beautiful fruits and vegetables. You are an amazing woman and I absolutely love watching your channel. I’m from Prince George’s County, Maryland near Washington, DC and I’m 59 yrs old. I’m just appreciating the benefits of how wonderful it would be to have yourself a Homestead like yours. You are so encouraging to me that it I will try to grow something in my backyard soon and I look forward to purchasing you new book as well. Again, thanks for your awesome videos and keep up the great work. Finally, don’t forget to take your time and get your rest. Take care.

[@tawanajeffries3610]

Tarragon vinegar is used widely in France. Love your enthusiasm and energy. Your a wealth of information. I used dried flowers and sweet annie and other herbs to decorate my Christmas tree last year. It was really pretty and a big hit with friends and family. Thanks

[@Driftinbarbob]

Onion jam! Fire cider

[@zoec3527]

Here in Ottawa we’ve had a bad year for earwigs. 😕

[@lisaburns235]

Sage and onion stuffing goes great with pork and chicken.

[@misst1586]

Nice looking onion.

[@iartistdotme]

Beautiful harvest today! All that hard work feels so good to have accomplished when you have great harvests. Man the onions look wonderful!

French cooking uses quite a bit of tarragon and tarragon vinegar. Love it in homemade vinaigrettes.

French Tarragon pickled in vinegar is also a Romanian thing. Delicious with many soups.
