I like cottage cheese on my pears on a bed of luttace. Jason, try it with MaryKarl if you havent

[@teri7154]

We’ve had a peach 🍑 tree since my childhood. Still standing. I’m 73 I Remember it well. when my mama would have us cut our own peach tree switch. Back in the day when peach trees had multiple uses lol 😂

[@CogHillFarmPodcast]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dorothyallen3614]

We had one also and I had to go get a switch off that peach tree but not to many times!

[@lorainewhite727]

In my grandmother's backyard she grew cling peaches & also white peaches. The latter were rather watery. She also had an orange tree grown from a pip, a couple of almond trees & a couple of vines. I also recall a row of quince trees (made the best quince preserve), dividing her house from a neighbour.

[@lindajc123]

Talking about power going out - We are from Illinois with ice and snow storms. Power going out, sometimes for days. Now that we are older, that is toooooo much, so we invested in a whole house generator that is powered with natural gas that comes on the minute the electricity stops running - one of the best investments we have ever made. That was 8 years ago - the anxiety is gone that we will be without power in the dead of winter - what a blessing!!

[@kerrylynnparsons9441]

Greg, Santa to Cog Hill 40! 🎅 Your orchard will be unbelievable--with all that knowledge from your garden shop guru! Peaches said she wants to be the only peach on the farm. 🐷 🍑😂😂🇨🇦😊❤️🇨🇦🎶

[@puddytat30141]

I’m with Brooke….I love mayonnaise! Enjoyed your trip to the nursery….makes me want to dig holes in my yard.

[@carolcalf2032]

Your fruit orchard sounds brilliant. It’s great to hear the excitement in your voices when speaking about what u r growing. Brooke u r a natural comedian. You make me laugh out loud.

[@janisstasiak544]

I love this! Remember I am living a life I would have loved to live through you. I feel blessed to have found you! 💕🤗

[@bettyhutcheson9318]

Feel like im living the life thru you folks also.

[@johncnorris]

Growing those things is fun. Saying those things is hard.

[@CogHillFarmPodcast]

LOLOL yes

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

@@CogHillFarmPodcast but you pronounce pecans correctly. 🏆

[@Dreamerlok]

I don't know why when I read the title I thought about peaches being jealous 😂

[@robinsnyder3881]

I love that you showed your trip to the nursery. I am going to have to make a trip there. Brooke , you should think about putting together a cookbook.

[@sherrysimpson4966]

Agreed! I looked up Brook's recipe for Overnight French Toast over the weekend. It sounds like a good dish for the holidays.

[@TheDeborilla]

Great episode, as usual. 🥰

[@lisanowakow3688]

My neighborhood is @ thirty-five years old and the ruling board decided then at the get go to bury the pipe, which I am grateful for. Just a mile down the road it goes back to poles.

[@maryjomoore7379]

I've. got a local "road" vendor that sells boiled peanuts, fried peach pie and has homemade muscadine & scuppernog slushies as a side hustle on weekends

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

Where? Where? Sounds fun.

[@BosnWayne]

I would pitch a tent. Take my money

[@lizlong4683]

It was so good to have you in my living room this morning 😉 I enjoyed your podcast and look forward to seeing your fruit orchard come to fruition.

[@janedoe3095]

You are correct that underground lines are great especially in heavily treed areas. I currently live in a heavily treed community and have underground lines. In the last 11 years I have lived here I have only had 2 outages that lasted more than half hour and those were due to trees down on the main lines. I also just retired from working with the power company. The company has a good restoration time for most people. Unfortunately there are a lot of rural areas with lots of trees. Many of these people are angry about the number of outages but they still want to be way off the main road surrounded by trees but they have above ground lines because they didn’t want the extra cost of underground lines when building. It is amazing how many feel the power company should be picking up the costs of that installation. They also get angry about losing power due to trees yet they don’t want to get rid of trees. Your property is great for above ground lines and while they aren’t attractive if there ever is a problem with the lines it’s easier to find the problem and fix it quickly than underground lines.

[@blkmjcwmn61]

WOOP! WOOP!! Power to the new house!! TaaaaDaaa!!! The price of everything has gone crazy!🤯 I love pear salad! Like you Jason, I don't want mayo on my pear salad.

[@simoneruf6285]

How exciting to be planting all those fruit trees and planning your orchard. One thing I wanted to share with you is about the Mulberry trees; we had one and it was hanging over our deck. Our dog used to go out every morning and eat the fallen fruit. One day she started having seizures. Vet said that mulberry trees can give dogs seizures if they eat the fruit. So just watch your animals when you start getting fruit.

[@juliahatosy7894]

Mayonnaise is the best on French fries, I dip mine all the time in it. Love you are planting your fruit trees. Love and prayers always have a blessed day ❤️❤️🙏🙏

[@sharrongrattan5940]

To slow down the pear (or apples) from turning brown, as you’re cutting it up, dump it in a container of lemon water. Then shake it off to plate. It won’t turn brown.

[@chelemichele1524]

It's great you have a nursery that works so close with you... Have a good evening ❄❄❄

[@melindarozas1334]

Can't wait to see your fruit orchard planted and house being built!!! How exciting!!!!

[@vickiquade1471]

I grew up on a farm, my dad had crops he grew, cattle and horses he raised, and trees he planted. He had three apple trees, five pear trees, walnut trees and a few crabapple trees. He loved his pear trees and I know some were Bartlett. The last year they lived there a tornado come through just North of their house and took down several of his pear trees. Dad passed away in 1998 and my mom in 2001. They last lived on the farm in 1997 then bought a house in a town 6 miles away. They sold the farm and it looks so different, no trees, no barn, and a totally different house. I miss the farm and watching your channel brings back so many wonderful memories!!!

[@kathymcgathy9716]

Down here in Slidell, Louisiana I was told we had to plant both muscadine and scuppernong to have proper pollination to produce. I had a 3 sided arbor room with a porch swing in it that the vines completely covered. That swing was my favorite place to sit in the summer heat.

[@taililly2483]

I planted a carlos & noble. Hoping to have a small harvest since I just put it in the ground this year. I let it stay in the nursery pot for 2 years.

[@debbiehinman715]

I absolutely loved the video to the tree nursery! Please do another one! It amazes me how up north where I live , the fruit trees here are so different!

[@sharrongrattan5940]

When you run out of chores with your building, consider building a simple greenhouse and you should be able to grow citrus

[@inglis7086]

New Zealand grows citrus outside - specifically Lemons (Meyer is popular) the Meyer Lemon tree in my garden is 50 years old and around 7 foot high and 6 foot wide the coldest we get overnight is 23F at it's coldest but normally around 33 F and a normal summer temperature at it's highest of 84 F in February - Lemons can grow outside in Alabama - Citrus tree's are loners they don't like to have anything planted close to them and they need to be feed every 3 months with citrus feed so they are "hungry" - mine gives me 2 lot's of lemons a year and all year round - we are going into summer here and it is currently in flower with the winter fruit still on the tree

[@jacquelinetennant5049]

@@inglis7086 I'm in Australia all our citrus is outside. My neighbour's lemon tree keeps me well supplied not sure if they're Meyer though.

[@jgivens1227]

Love how informative you all are. I didn’t know crab apples were great pollinators. Never thought about it. So happy about the new trees. You all please take care and be safe

[@helenvitai3308]

Howdy Cog Farm Fan 40! Good to hear you all.

[@wendywobbles1]

Lovely to see you guys, you have all been working sooo hard and it's understandable why Marycarl is tired, I love her Instagram page she is a very clever lil lady :) Brook, every time I see you lately you have a huge smile on your face and it is lovely to see :) :) Jason, loved the tree education at the nursery , can't wait to see Peaches under one of the trees lol

[@jenniferrichardson2702]

Mayo, pickles & onions on my burgers! Yummm

[@terijohnson3110]

Pears and sweet potatoes are so good baked together too!

[@cassandramarrelli3363]

I live in northern Kentucky. My fig tree dies completely all the way to the ground in the winter. I cut it down late fall and cover it with a bush cover I got online. Come spring, take bush cover off and fig tree grows bigger every year.

[@shellyhuckabay3819]

I moved to IL in 2005 and bought a house where the lines where underground. When the town lost power from an icestorm twice, our area stayed on...so I will say the looks do not bother me, but I enjoy being able to stay on with power when every one else is out...

[@NoelBOwens-fd4xz]

The type of cherry on a pear salad is a Maraschino, the same as the cherry inside chocolate-covered cherries! I love muscadine grapes, I eat the skin, seeds, and all! I never had a problem!

[@rameypmstar]

I love Maraschino Cherrys I buy them by the jar,, I have some in the fridge now 🙂

[@susanlee8480]

LOL when we first came down from Alaska, my best friend took me hunting wild persimmons. I got a green one & she asked me how I liked it while her back was towards me. I tried to answer but it was like my tongue and the inside of my mouth was really swollen. She just doubled over laughing😁 I love them!

[@deborahmathis2000]

Great Grandmother Maud had a pecan tree in Stone Mountain, Georgia and would look at her magnificent pecan tree and shake her head and say she may as well cut it down because the squirrels got all the nuts, But she was kidding - that one tree gave shade to her entire front yard and was a gathering place for family get togethers.

[@cherylcoble9780]

I am so happy you finally got some fruit trees! Petals from the Past (Jason) is awesome

[@wordvendor1]

Hi Smith family! I suspect you already know this, but your county extension office is a wonderful resource for fruits/vegetables that grow best in your area, too. Maybe your audience doesn't know this? The extension has lots of great resources!

[@farmsteadflowersandfoxhoun8302]

Shrubs / trees generally Sleep the first year planted Creep the second year Grow like crazy after that

[@rosemarydecker6470]

Hi! Love y'all!! persimmons are just luscious pudding after freezing them whole. They make the best cookies. Fruitcake every day!

[@carolebrown3485]

Can you grown cherries there? How about a cherry tree for Mary Carl since she loves them. Really enjoy your podcasts and videos!

[@palucas]

I love watching you two! Very informative and can't wait to see the fruit trees planted and blossoming and bearing fruit. That is so exciting!

[@phyllisbrostrom7348]

My mouth was watering listening to Jason talk about all the yummy fruits 🥰🥰 Looking forward to the next nursery visit.

[@williamleopold507]

Your farm sure is expanding , lots of fruit tree planting . We have apple orchards all around us , mostly Honey Crisp variety also a great variety of others . Lots of mixed farming as well . Dairy and Beef cattle big business as well . We live in Windsor ! Nova Scotia .

[@Anthony_Harper]

We are from northern Alabama. We had a volunteer pecan tree come up in the yard. We left it and in 7 years we had a lot of pecans. Black berries are named after Native Americans. That is ki oh way or wuh as is pronounced in Alabama. Most people in this area have native ancestry. Cherokee, Black Foot or Creek of other but not many Kiowa.

[@debpeterson4255]

Here in our county in Illinois we are not allowed to have anything on our power poles. By the way, pear sauce is delicious with pork loin or cherry jelly is good with pork too.

[@amyhoots3168]

Good morning Cog Squad. Happy to hear about your fruit orchard. Can’t wait to see the house build start.

[@steverobinson4199]

My grandpa planted blackberries, raspberries and boysenberrys along the back fence to build a natural barrier. And I remember getting a little scratched up Goin deep for the big ripe juicy ones. I didn't care. My GPA used to say wear an old long sleeve shirt and gloves. But it didn't stop me from just reaching in there and picking them. It was worth a few minor scratches if I was careful. Spoiled my dinner though! I was eating fresh fallen apples and peaches I could reach as well!

[@anitahicks1337]

Brooke, you should mix the Mayo with Ketchup…it’s called “fry sauce” at a local restaurant here in upper East Tennessee….

[@trishbirmingham8262]

Ketchup, Mayo and relish = thousand island dressing. So ketchup and Mayo is similarly tart

[@lindamaskus5142]

Freddy's steak house has fry sauce.

[@elenasimon1270]

1/2 a pear, scoop of cottage cheese and a maraschino cherry (with ice cream toppings) on top. Never had it with mayonnaise or cheddar cheese. That sounds good for an apple.

[@evelynrogers7145]

I like all the names you come up with. The sheriff, Moo man, peaches the boss and all the others

[@shawntierney4311]

Good morning you two. Always look forward to your podcasts and videos.

[@connidaywalt8619]

Brooke, you dip your fries in mayo...yummy! We learned to eat them like that in Germany. They don't do ketchup or mustard....mayo is the way to go. And yes, give me a grilled burger...You gotta have mayo on it! I love your podcast, your so interesting to listen too. Hugs and much love to you positive beautiful people. God bless!

[@starrcallaway4108]

If l could only have one fruit tree, it would be a Kieffer pear...sweet, juicy, crunchy pears that aren't bothered by insects or disease. You have 2 have 2 Bartletts to produce and they aren't nearly as crunchy or juicy. Also, nectarine trees are much more productive and insect free than peaches. I was zone 8 in GA and these were amazing!

[@farmsteadflowersandfoxhoun8302]

Cedar apple rust is what I battle between my Cedars and Apple Trees. The Cedars get a big orange ball in late winter. Looks like a Christmas tree ornament. The powder from those infect the Apple trees with rust/ blite. The woodpeckers are the only thing that enjoy eating from my trees

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

When my sis planted her trees she was told to water pour a bucket of water daily until roots ball established 3 years

[@debbiegibson6113]

One very important thing to consider when planting your fruit orchard is pest control and possible germs being passed to other trees. The experts say a home orchard is the hardest to maintain. Do some good research on possible problems and solutions. Love your EVERYTHING!!!

[@mimipitts3839]

Always fun to hangout! Take care, be safe and stay warm! Blessings! ♥️🙏✌️🎄👍

[@mamab4211]

Good morning!! Springtime is going to be so pretty on the CH40 🥳🥰 I agree Brook, I like Mayo too 🤣😂

[@cchap-222]

I'm glad to see your plans are finally coming true for y'all. Jason the only thing I suggest is for y'all to be very careful around the blackberry bushes because snakes like to hide in them. Especially the Blue Runner. That snake will chase you. Now of course that's here in Louisiana but I'm sure they love the blackberry bushes up there also. So just be aware of your surroundings. And I hope you get a bumper crop of everything

[@katieallen3927]

I don’t have an orchard, per say, but I’ve got fruit trees around the farm. I grow crab apple, ure pear, honey crisp apple, two types of plum, sour cherries, and one peach tree which is my third attempt at growing a peach; it’s an experiment as I’m too far north to grow peaches but I’ve got one microclimate close to the house that I’m hoping will work.

[@csnanny1882]

Happy, happy,to see you this morning it’s 11:00 on Thursday morning, and that’s just fine. Hey, where did you go, ? I went to pee,came back and you were gone. I am glad they came and got all that work done for you, Gosh,under wire is expensive, I don’t blame you for saying no. That’s a lot of money for something else that you want. Jason, don’t worry about the videos. Just do the best you can. We all will be here watching for them. Will you have to wait for the ground to dry up to plant your trees ? God bless you all, and take care of yourself, I love ya.

[@tolahornottolah2190]

When the fruit starts to brown, this shows you it’s full of antioxidants. Very desirable for good health

[@Homebody2009]

Love my blueberries. Muscadines are easy once you get your wire up for them.

[@jackiesaylor2487]

We use to have Crabapple trees lining the court behind our street (which is where we played most of the time), and the flowers are gorgeous. Also we used to use the crabapples like chalk and write on the sidewalks with them. (They also make great climbing trees).

[@russellfam3413]

Congrats on the trees, they are going to be fantastic on the cog hill 40!!!

[@beckystone7994]

Hey y’all it was so good to see fruit trees on the Cog Hill 40 !! I hope you saw my pointer on using the PVC 2” size to conserve water when watering your trees and plants ! ❤️🙏🙋🏻

[@taililly2483]

How does it work? Do you drill holes in it, & install it next to the roots of the tree?

[@osmadchlo]

It's called cedar-apple rust. The cedars will tolerate it, but it will kill your apples. ❤

[@Sandy-ch4ky]

I grew up on a 19 acre farm in Oregon and we had a fig tree. It had a lot of figs on it. We never picked any because we didn’t like figs but I’m sure the animals enjoyed them.

[@victoriabaker4400]

We had that same pear salad growing up! We didn't have the cherries very often. I loved it.

[@guyjulius8078]

I’m excited for you all. It’s gonna look so awesome.

[@jasheragirl]

Jason I love you disposition. You are so patient and kind.

[@jackiesaylor2487]

Oh on pears, did you know pear juice works like prune juice but tastes better when constipated. That's what my pediatrician recommended for my son. Also mom mom always loved sickle pears. I don't even know if they're still in existence. I can never find them

I could listen to you guys for hours. I feel like your sitting across from me at a diner and talking.

[@Jeremiah--gr8ve]

Their are different harvest dates for muscadines, from early to mid, to mid to late season , depending on the variety, Their are Purple, Red, and Gold/blush colors of Muscadines/Scumpernongs! I like them way better than regular grapes!

[@donnajoyner1474]

I'm so happy to see you start your fruit orchard. There's nothing sweeter than fruit from a tree you planted yourself. I'm sure your fruit expert will tell you that kiwis comes in male and female vines. You need both to get fruit. I believe I read that one male vine can take care of up to 5 female vines.

[@carmendoyle9786]

Mayo on fries is so good! My family makes our own "mayochup" mixtures, some are more ketchup-y and others are more mayonnaise-y.

[@marybroussard043]

Love these Podcast!

[@herbfodor3206]

Here in Ontario Folks bury their Fig Trees for the Winter and dig them out back in the Spring. I don't know what type they are.

[@sarahmannluker7528]

We used to make that salad with sliced bananas instead of pears. It is delicious!

[@krissgross2335]

Hey Brooke, one thing you can do to keep MC's pears from turning brown is put them in a bowl of lemon water or orange juice. The acidity keeps the fruit from browning. Just drain it off prior to serving, no need to rinse. I do this when I'm making apple or pear crisps. 😋😊

[@terryhenderson424]

Have you all spoken to Greg about a planned, pond over flow system in case it fills up in a couple of day's hard ra8n?

[@lulahawkins6271]

I loved this we need 2 a week

[@lynnrenee8369]

In Western PA we had wild crab apples that grew on our land. As a kid we would grab them and get a bite or two from them, very small and bitter. I wonder if we had taken care of them if they would have produced a more edible apple. I’ve never thought of crab apples as being something you’d plant.

[@twyllafettis6631]
