Harvest, Herbs, drying//freezer corn//country kids! 

Thank you for sharing! I just ordered myself the dehydrating mesh hanger! I love your channel, you inspire me to do so many things! ❤️❤️

I'm so happy you are willing to share the good, the bad, and the real life of how a garden grows, is harvested, and revitalized to feed you all year long. Your calm explanations in plain language make it seem possible for those of us not familiar with the ebb and flow of a garden.

That was so precious seeing the grandkids learning to work with their granddaddy enjoying your cooking and swimming in the pond!! What a blessing for everyone including me! I enjoyed every minute of today’s video! 💜🙏🏼✝️

Oh my, I'd love to be there! Grew up that way....on a farm with four sisters and three brothers. This was a wonderful video bringing back memories. God bless ya'll!

Thank you for such a relaxing video and the information you shared. I enjoyed this very much.

Love the idea of the drying rack for herbs. Looking forward to getting one. Also, loved watching your grandkids work and then have fun in the pond and playing in the sand. Awesome memories! 🤗

Your broccoli reminded me of my youngest when she was just getting around the garden...maybe 2 or 3... If she got away from me I always knew I'd find her in the broccoli patch. She'd have both fists full of florets and just mowing away at what poked out between her chubby little fingers. I told her to let Mama wash it first but....nope. Independent as a hog on ice, that one. -- Now I'm off to ponder what size mesh drying rack I'm gonna order. (Last I checked my lemon mint exploded all over the flower bed) I've just the place to hang one :) Thanks for the lovely video guys. I really enjoyed it.

It's nice to see "youngins" shucking corn and being outside...this is a beautiful and a true blessing to watch! Thank you for sharing and may God Bless You.🙏🌼

☀️🍃”I am enjoying this episode so much- I find it relaxing and my heart feels so full! I am happy and grateful to have this treat of you all sharing your beautiful bountiful life with us out here!🙏🏻💜 Thank you!”💋

makes life so satisfying....this whole video really helped me change my mood,,and outlook....THAK YOU GIYS SO MUCH....loved seeing grandsons so big now ...

That was a lovely relaxing video. I love seeing what you are growing and how it's all doing. Your front garden is really pretty, lovely bits and pieces in it. Not to mention all the lovely herbs and flowers! :-)

What a beautiful, relaxing video! Loved it!

I was wondering where yaw were! I love yaws little dancing! It’s the best!!!!!!!

That corn looks amazing!!made me want some lol. Great seeing kids learning like this

Your garden grows so nice. Love to hear playful kids in the background, for there IS love. Thank you miss Lori.

My Grandmother used to make creamed corn like that for breakfast with biscuits, instead of gravy.

I never even thought to dehydrate onion tops, I'm fixing to run out to my garden right now!

I love this video!!!!! Y'all work so hard, and thank God for awesome grandparents...those kids will never forget those memories on the homestead. God bless your family❤️

The grand-kiddo did a great job on that tractor! That was really impressive!

I remember sitting on the back porch and shucking corn.

The grandsons will always remember these times spent with y’all as I do with mine. Lovely video

Hello guys, just love to hear your voice. From here in sparta, oh. P.S.dont blink!

Hey Miss Lori! I have the same mesh dehydrator. You have such a beautiful and peaceful homestead. I don’t know how you keep up with all you do and work away from home. Such great memories with the grandkids and teaching them; that’s something most people don’t want to take the time to do these days. God Bless!😇

This was good one Mrs. Lori, I can see that you and Mr. Brown have a good start on harvest this year. Mrs. Lori, you spoke about how people should always be prepared to live off the grid. This so true but so many people do not know how to be prepared for that. For the last 20 years I've lived here in Florida and most of these people do not know how to be prepared, as you know from my past comments I'm from West Virginia. I was raised there in the 50s and 60s, and country folk were always prepared to live off the grid. Many a times we were without electric due in part to the poor serve in our area at that time. We had oil lamps though out the house, coal and wood stoves. If we could not cook in doors we would make a fire outside to cook, our dad had an old cab stove in his work shop and there was a many a beans cooked on that stove. Well finally on the 12th of this month I will be heading home and I'm looking forward to it. Bless the both of you and I will be looking forward to your next video.

I dry my dill weed for putting into tuna fish with mayo it is what we did at the hospital and it was so good I plant it every yr now for myself.

Beautifull! I learned how to drive on a tractor myself. Keep passing the traditions down.

Great stuff! Love the boys helping and driving the tractor. They will be fine men when older because of days like this! No cell phones and no computers the way it should be. WELL DONE 👏

I am Definitely ordering that screen dryer❤ Thank you so much for teaching us, and sharing your wonderful knowledge.

Miss Lori, I just got your cookbook and it is great. Loved the “This and That” section! But I have two questions, on the re-order page, I did not see how much your cookbook and how much for shipping. Also, on your dressing recipe, you say “a pan of cornbread”, is that 8 by 8 or 9 by 13 pan of cornbread. Just over the moon on the FW Woolworth recipe, my Grandma worked at Woolworth’s for over 15 years, oh the memories. Thank you so much for making this cookbook, it is great! Bet Mr. Brown did not know hw would be married to an author. Mr. Brown is a lucky man!

That cream.corn looks soooo good!! I like to cut the corn of and just fry in the skillet with bacon grease and a little water. I have to do a double take everytime I see tour oldest grandson. He looks so much like my grandson from the side. Lol!!

What an awesome video, it's all beautiful. I wish you didn't have to work, maybe some day soon. Once the broccoli starts flowering, do the flowers dry and then you get the seeds from it?

Thanks for tagging us along and your Gordon and showing us all the beautiful flowers and plants that you have you and mr. Brown in the rest of your family stay safe and God bless

Ms Lori, have you harvested your kohlrabi yet? I haven’t finished watching the video yet, but wanted to ask before I forgot. What did you thinks the kohlrabi? Did you like it?

Love this video, getting into drying to store. Got your cookbook, so beautiful, been playing with recipes. Thank you so much. God bless 🙏

Ms. Lori....I enjoyed this video so much!!! When I was growing up my Mama and Daddy had a big garden. I remember when my brothers, sister and I would have to go and harvest the vegetables. We would work all day in the garden, and than have to string beans, hull peas & Butterbean, etc. It was hard work but we learned a lot. We also irrigated our garden using our pond. Have a wonderful day.

Mrs. Lori wow look at all those herbs! I have been dehydrating as well. Oh just to let you know I got my cookbook. Thank you so much! Love you both

wowmr b,,your grandson is growing fast....what a wonderful life....

Pam says- Do y'all eat the broccoli leaves? I heard they are good as greens, but they need a bit of cooking, kind of like mustard greens, but with a broccoli flavor.

This was a great video- especially because it was so long! My favorite!! As soon as my herbs are ready, I’m going to hang them in the house too. And that creamed corn? I’m definitely making that this year! Thank you for always bringing us great content!💗

Need to get a dryer to hang in my greenhouse to dry my mint. I have heard that it tastes better if air dried than a dehydrator. My 7 year old granddaughter helps me then we go fishing at our lake.

This is so intresting... I love to watch you harvest your herbs!!! BEAUTIFUL garden... God bless...

Those sweet voices in the background, playing! So precious. 🥰 And Mr. Brown, priceless! Your garden is so lovely, Lori! Happy harvesting. God bless you!

I’ve never seen a mesh drying rack like that before! What an awesome idea!

Really enjoyed your video, especially seeing the interaction of you all with the grandkids...brings back nice memories.

Thank you Lori -- I always learn so much from you

This was a nice visit, in the garden and watching with the grand kids! I wanted to let you know, I got my cook book!! I’m enjoying looking at the recipes! So glad you put the pages in the back with substitutions and measurements!! Such a pretty book, I love all the animal pictures, thank you for all the time and work you put into it for us!! Bless you guys!

Ordered the mesh hanger for me and a friend. Thank you for showing us. Do you have more videos on herbs?

Loved the video today…peaceful, relaxing….🤗🤗

Have you tried putting the cut green onion tops in a salad spinner to get the water out?

Thanks so very much for sharing. You inspire me so much. I totally enjoy your channel.....

Good morning from SC.

Nothing better than family time. So glad you get to see your grandchildren often. Mine are all getting older and harder to get them together. Love your kitchen garden. It looks so pretty and is producing quite a bit for you. Mr. Brown's pond looks like it is holding water pretty well, I know he is happy about that. Loved seeing the kids swimming in it. Did you all bring in some sand for a beach? Stay safe, stay well. God bless!

Thank you Ms Lori, I learned something today.😊

Thanks Mrs Lori I really enjoyed this and loved listening to the birds.

I've put my onions through my salad spinner to remove excess water. I think a tea towel or pillow case would work too. Just take it outside and give it a good whirle .

Love to see the younguns learning!! Those corn silks make the best tinctures for bladder and kidney ailments. Everything looks so good! Blessings!!

Hey Ms. Lori, hope this finds you both well. I received your cookbook yesterday. Thank you so much. My hubby went through and said this, this, this I want all these. Lol Anyway our first main dish was your fried chicken. He said its the best chicken I've made in a long time. He said Thank you! Love ya girl. God bless!

looks like much work but relaxing... i hear grandkids playing outside....nice....

Hi Miss Lori, I am wondering if you drill holes in your galvanized buckets that you have planted here and there in the garden. I have a few of different sizes, one with holes, but my hubby is reluctant to drill holes in the remaining ones, though he is willing. What do you do for drainage? Thank you!

Love watching your videos and always learning knew things along the way. God bless you and your family!

I just ordered one of mesh do you dehydrator from your amazon store I never saw one these. I think I will get a lot of use in my green house. Thanks for sharing. Blessing.

Your herbs were beautiful! I especially loved your dill, I never have luck growing dill here in N.C., can you believe it? Also planted thyme from seed and no luck there either!!! I never even thought of making my own cream corn! I’m definitely going to try that. Thanks for your wonderful garden tour! ❤️😘🙏🏻

If you cut the bottom off of the corn and then peel from the bottom up, the silk will come off easier. I feel silly telling you this because you are such experienced gardener. I use too peel from the top down also, so doing it this new way was a game changer. But, also, maybe fresh from the garden the silks come off easier. I don’t have access to corn right out of the garden. I just love watching your videos. It gives me such peace, so thank you so much.

Do you ever harvest your broccoli leaves for powder?

I love the leaves! Cook em like all the other greens or chop em fine and add to salads or anything you desire.

Love this video! I've learned so much from you Lori and I thank you for that. You can be poor and rich at the same time. Our Heavenly Father Jehovah has surely blessed us with the variety of different plants to eat and enjoy. Hope you two have a good harvest and I thank you for sharing those precious grandchildren with us.

You may have said, but have you ever eat the leaves of the Broccoli plant? Blessings❣️

Do you cut your corn off the cobb before you blanche it or after? I have seen both ways and done both ways...I think i prefer the taste when done cold, but that might be in my head--lol

When can we order the cookbook???🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸

I love your hostas! Everything looks so good!

Just a quick thank you for all the videos . I have a question about the latest on getting a copy of your book. After it sold out and I knew it would go quick, how can I get a copy ?

Eating your food Miss Lori their bellies are going to be so full they're not going to want to work anymore they're just going to want to laze out. Love this channel for all you get done and how beautiful everything is.

Beautiful landscape. Mrs Lori Your lemon 🍋 tree will love old coffee and tea grounds.

Yes, if it weren't for the veterans, yours and my way of life wouldn't be possible. God bless them all.

Right now a cute little chipmunk is eating my corn seeds but if I can outsmart him I will try this! God bless!

Try broccoli greens. I believe that you and Mr. Brown, will love it.

I appreciate you going slowly so we can see.Are those 2x4 in the ground?

Love your beautiful garden, and teaching us how to dry herbs etc. Could you please sometime let us know what you do with your lavender and how you process it? Thank you again for all your hard work and know you are my number one inspiration on earth!!

I love that mesh hanger! That is just what I need to dry peas and beans completely (and out of the way) when saving for seed. I may be late to the party, but I love your new, updated hair-bob!! It has taken years off!!

Seeing you and Mr. Brown dancing in the opening of the video always makes me smile. I received my cookbook yesterday and just love it! I enjoyed the outside tour. It reminded me of when I was growing up. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents who were farmers. Both of them had a magic touch when it came to growing plants. Unfortunately, I did not inherit their talent, but I was blessed to be with them so much. God bless you and Mr. Brown.

So what is best to dry in the drying rack,, I would love to try drying some herbs what about bay leaves do you dry those as well

I'm growing herbs for the first time so I see how you harvest. I wondered if my basil was going to seed and wondered if I should snip the top but now I see that it's new growth. Your garden is so beautiful and I know that is from dedicated hard work.

I LOVED this video, Miss Lori! It was so great to see you go through your garden, and talk about all the vegetables you've planted, and the crop that you've harvested. And then to see the grandkids working with Mr Brown, and then playing by the pond...this was WONDERFUL! It's what family is all about! God bless you, dear one.

Hello from a rainy 66 degrees here in Indiana, I love to freeze vegetables 🌽😊

Everything looks beautiful! And kids playing in the back...Grest times!🇺🇸 I dried my lemon balm the 1st time last year! So fulfilling!💖 God bless you, Ms Lori!🙏💖🦋

i think your high tunnel is gorgeous....so livly,,and so good for your food...love it...

Good video I dehydrated my onion tops this morning and I will be making powered green onions

This is such a relaxing video. I loved it Ms. Lori. 💕

Hey sweet lady, I love that outside dehydrator. May have to find me one. I have two electric dehydrators and like them both. I did buy a piddly little greenhouse from Aldi but I love it! I have a thermometer in there and it has gotten up to 120 in there already this spring. I couldn't believe it. Love the corn and the family! Love y'all!! ❤️katie and family

Love the kids learning and helping, as God intended. Amen!

I keep listening to this video every day, it's SO relaxing. I'm suffering with a slipped disc in my neck which is pressing on my spinal cord and nerve, I've been in terrible pain and during the nights are worse. Your video helps me calm down and concentrate on relaxing enough to doze off to sleep. Thank you so much. I love your channel so much, so much to learn from you ❤️🥰

Glad to see kids willing to learn. Most don't realize they may need those skills 1 day.

Love y’all🌹❤️❤️🌹

i love all your cute little garden ornaments,,esp the vitage gslvanized pots....herbs are so glorious to look at....

Love the mesh drying rack. Thank you for sharing all the information. God bless

Loved every minute and learned so much as always 🥰 thank you

we know you are not going to go hungry, even with all the shortages at the grocery stores....you have lots of vegetables that are good and supply protein as well....beautiful gardens.....thanks for showing us....I always wanted a country place, but I messed up I married a city man....divorced and never had enough money to buy me a nice little place.....so happy you were able to....I can look at yours on the videos, I am now old, in my seventies....it is now to late....but, I still grow some in pots....that next to nature feeling is wonderful....

Thank you sooo much for this video. I’m totally new to gardening I only bought one of each herb to plant as I did not know what to with the harvest. Now I can grow more and dehydrate them. Then I guess just put them In jars to store them. .?????

You have a great place!! I have never seen so much of it!

Thank you. Very interesting. Can you show us also where to cut these plant. I have peppermint galore and spearmint and never use thought I would. I think you cut at bottom then hang them upside down and dry. Is that right
