Our Raised Bed Strawberries are producing like crazy, plus fruit forming in the orchard

The June bearing strawberries are producing, and we need to pick every other day now. These strawberries will produce for a few weeks and then they are done for the year. Also, the Orchard is starting to put on fruit. The fruit is just starting to form in our homestead orchard. We have apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, and cherries, all producing fruit.

That was a nice harvest of strawberries; and you're just getting started.

[@joycemcintyre5543]

I love strawberries and if I was picking them, half of them would be eaten. Look so good.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I have DE, so I am going to try it.

[@Beecozz7]

Beauty!!! Loved the orchard tour!!! Thanks for not showing the snakes!!! LOL

[@simplysouthernroots216]

Thanks for the updates!! Strawberry jam and jelly. We also slice and sugar and let syrup and freeze in smaller freezer containers. We use for yogurt hot biscuits pancakes and homemade ice cream. Awesome harvest

I have used I drop of down dish soap in a squirt bottle with water it has helped me in the past

[@suenorton873]

Your strawberries look so good...

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Excellent video! Thanks Evan and Rebekah for sharing with us.

[@jamiemckenzie8516]

Make your own pesticide from rhubarb leaves ! Boil the leaves for about 30 mins then mix the concentrated tea with either soapy liquid or a sugar soap and dilute by 50% then spray the leaves. I know it keeps aphids down doesn’t harm pollinators might work on the ants but it’s worth a try ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Absolutely beautiful

[@kgal63]

I read that deer like apples so you may have apple eating deer before you get chestnut eating deer. Also tie old cds in your cherry trees will be keep the birds off. We grew Ozark Beauties that lasted until the first frost.

[@Bass2010]

So it’s all looking good what about the chestnut trees you grow last year and how the baby pigs doing and the new goat and are you giving the pigs and goats the strawberries cut off tops to them

[@CountryViewAcres]

We tried giving the strawberry tops to the pigs and they weren't very interested. So we tried the goats and chickens, the goats didn't want it, but the chickens ate them up.

[@augustreil]

Strawberry flavored bacon ? A whole new concept...sounds real good !!!

[@freddydeusenberry2239]

It looks like you have a standard Peach tree, over pluming it causes little Fruit production. I watch you plum it a few months ago and wanted to say some thing than. BUT,DON'T PLUM IT next spring and you will a lot of fruit. Plum it the next fall a little.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I have pruned it every year, and got lots of peaches. This is first year we havent.

[@CountryViewAcres]

They are semi drawf peach trees

[@shannonwashington8442]

Diatomaceous earth. The micro slivers of the diotoms cut the bugs and they dehydrate. Food grade is ok for gardens. It is ineffective when wet but when it dries out again starts working again. Pretty cheap, Get mine from Amazon. Great alternative to pesticide. U can put it right on the plant or around.

[@augustreil]

Good ole Comet (?) Nothing beats a Golden ! Great garden and video. Gonna need a bigger freezer ! Bees are a pain to me, but 3-4 hives placed in between all your gardens going on would be a massive benefit. My apple trees did nothing last year, this year looks to be a bumper crop ! Diatomaceous earth should smoke those ants and it's organic.

[@mcisco57]

I really enjoy watching your channel. I am retiring next year and moving back to VA and learning a lot. Question: you always seem so calm, just wondering what type work you do. Keep it up.

[@fhagerber4079]

Hi i think you need some bees

[@lynshomemade2170]

yum Strawberry Jam

[@wastelandacres3423]

Cherry trees... tie CD's onto them. It scares the birds away. Put 2 CD's together (shiny/reflective side out). Worked for years at my husband's grandparents house.

[@chrissprinkles9595]

What did you use for string?

[@wastelandacres3423]

@@chrissprinkles9595 anything...fishing line, twine, whatever we had around.

[@sararich2026]

Make strawberry jam or preserves.orrrrr strawberry shortcake or strawberry ice cream yum !!!

[@nancymweasel6561]

I think Neem oil is under suspicion as harmful. I would use a light white row cover the beds to keep birds and some bugs out. I use diatomaceous dietMaybe I missed it but which June bearing strawberries did you plant?

[@CountryViewAcres]

I was thinking about diatomaceous earth the other day. I found that it is listed as organic. Sorry, I don't remember what varieties of June bearing I planted.

[@augustreil]

@@CountryViewAcres, It's used in pool filters for coating the filter grids also, so it should be ? I've actually used it on some veggies and it worked great.

[@pegpeg3939]

I live in oregon. Oregon is very strict on organic stuff on pot plants. They disallowed neem oil a couple of years ago as organic for growing pot flowers

[@workhardlivefree3818]

Our chickens Love the berry tops... It's like watching sharks in chummed waters

[@wandaarganbright4056]

Do you use fruit tree fertilizer spikes?

[@CountryViewAcres]

No, I had been using regular fertilizer. But I need to took at other alternatives. So I am not sure what I am going to use right now.

[@kr4awkr4aw5]

I have a raised bed full of beautiful strawberry plants but for some reason, I can't get any fruits. The plants look great with white flowers but no fruit

[@MicroCityFarm]

How big are your beds? How many plants do you have in each bed?

[@markjenkins9640]

Thining the fruit by knocking off some of the fruit to leave only one or two fruits per cluster will give you a bigger tastier produce.

[@mato1943]

I make strawbery milkshakw from them just a little bit of milk and sugar and there you go

[@jkdubs2]

Did you have to convince your wife to move more rural or did she convince you? Or were you both on board?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Both on board. Wife didn't want any neighbors and wanted to raise animals. I just wanted my own place to fish, hunt, garden, and shoot.

[@jkdubs2]

@@CountryViewAcres living the dream lol. My wife feels less safe without neighbors and I'm on 48 hour shifts for work so I guess I understand her wanting people around but i need that rural lifestyle man! Lol.

[@CountryViewAcres]

I hope you get it one day!

[@markthompsoncpa]

I never heard of white peaches

[@williammassey8514]

Strawberry towers on the front porch. Easier to harvest. Frozen, dried and jam. Bee's and flowers.

[@adambaldwin8692]

I think you need some honey bees and some bug spray!! Them dag on gnats!!

[@jeremyprince4945]

how old are your plants and are yours a running variety

[@georgedrollinger5589]

You need a stand to put the camera on and help the wife pick the strawberries

[@CountryViewAcres]

I helped with the second raised bed. So, at least I helped a little.

[@brucesoliz8906]

Can you say strawberries again ? 🥱🤪🤪🤪

[@scrapironprepper]

Check out the video I linked for bird protection

[@Treycotwright]

You leave your dog out in the rain? Especially a storm that’s not cool

[@MinecraftLover-dz8nk]

Trey cotwright ever hear of an outside dog?

[@Treycotwright]
