The Satisfying Aftermath of Harvest Season

[@wishwellfarms]

Thank you all so much for all the support throughout this season through viewing the content, commenting, liking and sharing! Remember, just because the harvest season is over it doesn't mean that farming season is over...it never ends, only gets a bit slower for a few months! I've got lots of post season farming content coming your way so stay tuned! Please subscribe if you haven't already so you don't miss out on any of our farm fresh content this winter!

[@kathleenlewis3480]

Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge of farming!! I’ve learned much from you! Good morning to you!😊

[@kingrigidthedeplorable2720]

I've been meaning to tell you, your last couple videos especially have been great. The content has been just what I want to watch, and ultimately learn from. Keep up the good work.

[@wishwellfarms]

That is very kind of you to mention…thank you so much!

[@KenHorton-je3ku]

Great season. Enjoyed all of it. Thank you.

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks for watching! Lots of vegetable farming content still coming all winter long...just because the harvest is over doesn't mean farming is over.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Loved the time lapse. Good to hear your trip was enjoyable. God Bless.

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks Becky! Wonderful trip RV camping with my wife. Heading out for a 200 mile backpacking trip next week.

[@marialorenavillanueva5342]

It was a great season. Good u have time to chill a bit before plantin soon.

[@wishwellfarms]

Yes, it will be here before you know it! Time to order seeds soon

[@AhTechus]

Your tips are always spot on! I've been applying them, and it's been a game changer

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks, I appreciate that, glad to hear they’ve been helpful!

[@ricmeister73]

It will be interesting to see the post season activities on the farm. I can only imagine that a lot of prep work is involved. Nice bonus of having broccoli and cauliflower for Thanksgiving. Have a great day.

[@wishwellfarms]

I do my best to show as much of it as I can! Thanks!

[@WillieBrownbentKamalaDown]

I can see how much the weather is changing. Beautiful and bittersweet to watch the field get frosty🍁 🍂 I like the title of this one !! ☕👋❤️💪🇺🇲

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks! Cold and windy today but now warm and sunny...you just never know what you'r going to get this time of year!

[@allotmentjoy]

So much broccoli. You were spoilt for choice. I couldnt cut that down. You and your wife put some graft in to get the polytunnel cleared out. Great work. 👍👍 Elaine 🌱

[@wishwellfarms]

Yes, a lot of good broccoli there, glad we saved it for a few weeks. Emma and I have gotten three greenhouses all clean for the year, two to go. And by the way, Emma is just one of our dedicated employees. Thanks so much for watching!

[@karlsteingall6832]

That broccoli looked awesome, that was a wise decision leaving it and the cauliflower to enjoy until the hard frost. Love your content and presentation, your work is amazing and a testament to your ethics and integrity, an inspiration to many!

[@DDL2728]

Amen!! Jason should have a lot more subscribers!! He's amazing & so great to watch - such a hard worker!! 👍🌟

[@wishwellfarms]

I was amazed at how much there was! Not really enough to take to a maket but plenty for us to enjoy for awhile! Thank you for the kind words!

[@wishwellfarms]

@@DDL2728 the channel has slowed a bit but that's alright, I'll keep pluggin away and doing my best to showcase everything that happens on our farm. Glad to have loyal supporters like yourself!

[@DDL2728]

@wishwellfarms Yay!! It's all so interesting!! Thank you! ❤️🙏❤️

[@Redmapleleaf113]

As you were picking all those broccoli shoots that looked so yummy, my inner greed kicked in! I knew I wouldn't be able to stop picking such lovely looking broccoli. Glad your "inner greed" kicked in too. Love watching your videos. Keep 'em comin'!

[@wishwellfarms]

Thank you! Yeah, I had a little inner greed there that day 😁

[@jamesducey2685]

Thank you for sharing special realities of your family. The reality is why your sharing is so very special.

[@steveddavis]

Glad you got out and had a nice trip! You earned it 👊

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks Steve, it was a great trip!

[@oby-1607]

Kinda sad to see the farmers markets end for 2024. I am sure when you are doing the cleanup that at the same time you are planning for the next year. Always good to see your ambition.

[@wishwellfarms]

Yes, a little sad mainly because I don’t have any more cash flow and not as much interesting content, but that’s OK. It’s all part of farming. I am constantly thinking about next year every time I’m out working, things that I want to change or not grow or things I want to improve or try growing again. After 25 years of farming, it’s all about simplifying and streamlining my operation and of course, thinking about the succession of my farm.

[@PlanetaryHealer-in2sf]

I do not know if you got a new camera but the picture is amazingly clear. Great video.

[@wishwellfarms]

Very glad to hear that! I did start using a GoPro 12 instead of a 10 about a month ago, but that’s all I have changed. Thanks!

[@wild_insomnia]

Joel and the cat were guest stars in the timelapse

[@wishwellfarms]

Ha ha I was wondering if anyone would notice that, the cat even caught a few mice while she was in there going back-and-forth

[@wild_insomnia]

yep,it's not much fun to work alongside with your boss,especially such a fast and nimble as Jason.Poor Emma must have worked her butt off )))

[@wishwellfarms]

lol, this time of year, we try not to work too hard, and we normally have enjoyable conversation to help pass the time, she is certainly a hard worker

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Sure am glad you saved the broccoli and cauliflower.

[@wishwellfarms]

me too! It's so fresh and tasty!

[@wolfganghofmann3977]

We love your farm man , you explain how it works and do a great job at it , can’t wait for next season . Do you sell Wishwell farms T-shirts ?

[@wishwellfarms]

Thanks! I will be next year! finally found the right colors and materials that I really like!

[@DDL2728]

Uh, that's not a good thing to say about time with your wife - seems like I've been gone forever!! 😉🤣🤣🤣 Great video, as always! I'm so jealous that it looks like it's cool there. We're still in the upper 80's 🫤 God bless y'all. 🙏❤️👍🌟

[@wishwellfarms]

Hahaha! The time away with my wife was the best part...I kinda lied about being glad to be back working on the farm 😂, but can't stay away for ever! We had 77 degrees a few days ago, but it does start off cool in the mornings.

[@DDL2728]

@wishwellfarms I totally understand!! My hubby & I love taking breaks & being together, but we love working, too! 🤷‍♀️ It's just so satisfying to get things done. We love your videos - your work ethic, your knowledge, your success - just everything!! Thanks so much!! Hang in there - you'll get more subscribers. You're absolutely the best!! 🙏❤️👍🌟

[@BustinRootz]

To be honest, if you got there a few days earlier, you would’ve probably been able to collect all them side shoots and probably been able to make a couple extra dollars on the side from, side shoots alone

[@wishwellfarms]

Yeah, a week earlier we did our last cauliflower harvest and took it to Market, but I was gone that weekend and Emma didn’t know the broccoli shoots were so nice but it’s too late now, we’ll just enjoy them as long as we can.

[@BustinRootz]

@@wishwellfarms absolutely but now you know that variety does supply you with massive side shoots.

[@cheeseburger9232]

Can you film the garlic being planted?

[@wishwellfarms]

Yes! Joel actually got most of it planted today, but I wasn’t able to be there to film because my son just bought a house and I was helping him move in but hoping to film the final day of planting next week

[@rainman80501]

What goes into your decision to use traditional plastic vs. biodegradable plastic for certain rows. If it was cost, I imagine you would only use one type. Is one better than the other for certain crops? Biodegradable seem like less maintenance, which is a cost. Just wondering the different uses for each type. Thx.

[@wishwellfarms]

Yes, good question. Bio is much more expensive, almost double, but it eliminates all the labor of pulling it up and disposing of it which is a horrible job that no one likes. The only problem with bio is that is does start to break down during the season just a little so I don't like to put it long season crops (crops that get harvested all season) like tomatoes and peppers on it, so we put them on conventional plastic. Crops like cuke, zuke, melons the get multiple plantings and only last a few weeks are perfect for the bio plastic. Hope that answers your question.

[@rainman80501]

@@wishwellfarms Ahh yes, it makes total sense now. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

[@Free.to.choose.001]

side shoots are called broccolini here locally and sells for more than broccoli Broc goes for 2.50 to 4.50 pkg the broccolini goes for $4 bunch..mind you we do not get snow here and we can grow greenhouses year round as no frost gets cold enough to freeze pipes or hoses our average mean is 13C 55.4F

[@wishwellfarms]

Interesting. All my seed catalogs have broccolini as a completely separate cultivar of regular broccoli and the entire plant grows as broccolini shoots. We normally pick all those shoots and sell them in quart containers, just didn’t happen this year.

[@michaelnowak1011]

What now, i still have thousands of rutabagas and tons of spuds to dig up . Come work for me for a few weeks

[@wishwellfarms]

Ha yeah I’m still buried in farm work just not harvesting anything now 😁

[@michaelpardue2400]

2025 be here soon time staet again

[@wishwellfarms]

Indeed, the planning has already begun, lots of post harvest videos coming

[@mikewalter8547]

We put up broccoli shoots last weekend my wife freezes it so we have it all winter. If you get a chance make broccoli alfredo one of my favorites. 3 Days ago I was bush hogging my last corn field scared up a lame 5pt mule buck called DOW they issued me a tag over the phone so freezer is full for winter. Check out Kayaking on Arkansas river Colorado World class waters thats where I live.

[@wishwellfarms]

Yummy sounds great! and awesome on the deer meat! Yeah, you have some awesome hiking and kayaking out there for sure!

[@jamesducey2685]

Does your wife have a name? Certainly she does so please mention that you have a veggie team that are members of the clan.

[@wishwellfarms]

Kristin...we've been together for 31 years. She was instramental in helping me start the produce farm in the late '90's, then we started having kids in 2001 and she became a fulltime homemaker (domestic godess) She wants nothing to do with youtube. You've already seen Joel, Jake and Gavin from time to time...I will try to show more of my family over the winter.

[@reyong4217]

Those broccoli still good for another two weeks
