Before They Rot || Harvesting Squash & Watermelon

The time has come to harvest our watermelon and squash patch before they all rot, and it’s a bit of a treasure hunt to make sure we get them all. Plus, chipping trees in the woods to make room for pig pasture.

You are a machine Meg - I am in awe of what you achieve!! Amazing!!

[@faithrada]

Seriously! A friend blessed us wurh a lg. Bowl of purple string beans 💜 and my first thought was.. Ohh My such a BIG job... and then I saw Meg goin at all that 🌽 corn and I thought.. what a wimp I am. This family is changing my perspective. 😝😁 👍

[@janew5351]

Meg, how do you store all that canned corn? I have read do not stack your filled jars. Then how has Ben figured this out? Special rack?

[@rainspringing]

@@janew5351 If you put something between the jars that distributes the weight across all the jars, you can stack at least once, preferably only small jars on top. I've seen 2x4s laid across supports just a bit taller than the jars, such as cinder blocks, hold up for many years. This actually lasts a long time in a non-damp/southern, non-earthquake prone, and dry storage area. Just need to be very careful about the 2x4s shifting as you get those jars in the back. Better long term option for many pints, etc. is an affixed shelving unit, suited to paperback book/Blueray sizing that is strong, with front stops. (Company in the US makes such things out of unfinished pine, without the stops, but you could easily add those or ask for custom. I'm sure there are similar wood workers making such spacing shelves.)

[@villagesteader3552]

You set the bar too high for me! I’m 65 and don’t have your energy! However, we do what we can and today is a proud day for us. I usually purchase my tomatoes to can, and I will still be doing that…but today I put up 9 quarts of my homegrown tomatoes! We can about 100 quarts each year but I grew these from seed and nurtured them until today. Thank you for your continuing inspiration! Next year we will double the garden space! Scrape me off the ceiling, I’m so happy!!!! ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓

Before I even watch this video I want to thank Ben for my potato harvest. I’m an Idaho girl living in Ohio. I had such terrible luck with growing potatoes that I stopped trying years ago. Then I saw how successful you were at container potatoes accidentally!! I could hardly talk about anything else . My loving family gifted me with 6, 10 gallon grow bags for Christmas just for potatoes. Today I harvested the first bag. The biggest is just palm sized but it is perfect and they taste amazing! Thank You so much for inspiring me to try this method!

[@brenda324]

I know it is a lot of work, but I think you all are living your best life. I hope all the boys know how very fortunate they are, and Buggy is precious and also a very lucky country girl to live that life and have all those brothers to take care of her. Ben and Meg you are both doing a great job with giving your children a good life and teaching them valuable lessons for the rest of their lives.

[@annadinkledine1254]

Being sick of a food is one of my favorite parts of having a garden. You get to have so much of something you love you get sick of it, but then you have a rest of not eating it until the next season so you’re ready for it all over again.

[@glendabaldwin4423]

That was great seeing the boys being more comfortable being filmed and playing while harvesting! I enjoyed so much, family time fun while working.

Y’all impress me every video. Not only the progress from the farm, but both Meg and Ben’s editing, videography and storytelling has greatly changed. The daily videos really capture your family dynamic and sharpens the creativity you foster in your videos. The hard work shows and it’s contagious. Got ME in the yard now. Cheers from CT.

Your video today puts so many memories front and center of my mind….my husband and I grew up next door to each other, never dated in school but boy did I notice him when he came home on leave from the Navy! We married at 20 years old and never stopped. We joke so much like you two….we have our own Cindy’s 😋, and my husband is renowned for dad jokes 🤭 We laugh. We head butt and then he apologizes 😂😂 Laughing together through all four of our children and now our 9! grandchildren, praising and thanking God for all the blessings He bestows on us and our beautiful family. Just keep laughing and loving until the end and walk into eternity with our Heavenly Father. I’m probably stumbling but all that to say….I enjoy your channel. Keep up the GOOD work!! Much love from Indiana!

Also, I LOVED the squash ride with the kiddos! Sooooo sweet! 😍

[@terryhenderson424]

That gives you one jar of corn per week until next year plus some meals in the freezer. 40 and 16 sounds like a LOT and even more so following a canning marathon. But, if you pull that one jar per week over the next year, it is definitely not too much.

[@meladytwo]

I love seeing all the kids helping....Buggie is just so cute eating and walking with her watermelon. You all got a good amount from the garden.

Your garden production has gotten so big I hope the company that has that freeze dryer blesses you with one of them. I could see you doing a fantastic product review video on it.

Great video every one ! Kids love their lawnmower with wagon rides. Mine sure did. After mowing the acreage we would drive around and look at everything. Kids can be such a blessing when taught to help :) It makes them feel like they belong as well. Good job on the corn.

[@marciaparmeley4430]

Canning 56 pints of corn is a HUGE task. Lucky you had help! I've been canning for 4 days now because my freezer died. I was thinking though--56 pints is indeed a huge job, but, if you think about it, that's actually just a bit more than a pint a week for a year. Man, that thought is overwhelming, isn't it? My compliments to you. You have been a canning machine.

[@loritanner4478]

I can everything with the thought. How much a week do we eat it? Times 52. There is only my hubby and I. But I can at least 1000 jars a year. Usually more.

“Eating so much watermelon that we are sick of it!” That is a problem that I would like to have! Meg, have you tried making pickled watermelon rinds? I did a huge jar with lots of whole spices and it turned out to be totally addictive!!! I used both apple cider vinegar and rice vinegar, sugar added with the spring water and boiled. I added chopped fresh Ginger, Broken up stick of cinnamon, whole allspice, multicolored peppercorns, Bayleaf, and a few small pinches of mixed pickling spice, a teeny tiny pinch of ground cloves because I could not find my whole cloves, small pinch of freshly grated nutmeg and some grated orange peel. To add more of a kick to it, I gave it a shake of red pepper flakes. But know that the longer it sits in that bone in the refrigerator, the hotter those red pepper flakes get. You can find the basic recipe portion on lots of KZbin videos. I just chose the spices that I liked. Enjoy!

Just a suggestion on the pigs. You might want to separate the sow who hasn’t given birth yet. With such a gap between the two sows and litters there 100% chance that the older piglets will steal the colostrum from the new borns. Thanks for creating the content for us all to enjoy.

Please cook turnips like this. Cook them in water as if you were going to mash them. Cook them until they are fork tender, drain the water and put the turnips in a frying pan with pork lard or bacon grease. Add a spoon of sugar to cut the bitterness of the turnip. They are so good this way. Also they are good in chicken pot pie coupled with potatoes and leeks carrots and peas. Please try this before you give them up. I love your family?

I have 2 large burners. Especially when I'm canning tuna. Twice as fast! Been canning for 44 years so far. And I'm not stopping till they have to pry it out of my dead hands!

[@territn8871]

@@loritanner4478 It definitely pays off to have two canners if you have large amounts of produce and meat to can. Bet your canned tuna is delicious! I've never canned meat before, only vegs and fruit. If I had produce to can again, I'd have to get new rubber gaskets as I'm sure mine have dry rotted by now. One of mine was my mom's canner and I bought the other one, which both are MirroMatic. Don't know if they still make those. My mom's was bought back in the 70s, and mine was bought in the 80s. So both have served mom and me well!🥰
