Harvesting Fall Crops! 🍓🥒🥕// Garden Answer 

Hi Laura! Can you do a video showing us how you preserve some of your vegetables? Canning, freezing? Thank you

Russell is the funniest cat ever 😂

Laura's chickens must be the happiest, well fed chickens ever!

58 days can bring you so much 😍 WOW!

Im so impressed with what a powerhouse woman you are! even being a mum to one with a bub on the way, you are a force to be reckoned with. The constant uploads and work you both do, while it takes me a few days to bribe myself into weeding the garden. How do you both remain so energized to accomplish so much, if there is some sort of super food you are eating, this tired mum of 1 needs to know!

Laura - can you show us how you can/prepare and freeze your produce? Also - I am curious about your 'cold room' - is that done yet? Would love an update! Thanks!

Russell the meerkat! Your gardens are absolutely wonderful. To be able to feed your family so much fresh from the garden food is enviable, but I know a lot of work was involved.. Since your corn ears are small, to be sure you get full corn cobs, I would carefully cut off a couple tassels into a glass bowl and either gently shake the anthers over the newer silks coming out, or use a small paint brush to brush the powdery pollen on them. Should take less than 30 to 45 mins of your mid morning. Will definitely be worth it.

I'd love to see a video of some canning tips

Russell standing up on his hind legs just randomly caught me off guard. Gave me the giggles. Made me think he morphs into human like behavior when he thinks your not looking. Haha

Russell the prairie dog/garden ornament. Ha! NICE Harvest and pretty harvest music with the guitar. Amazing how much your bounty is -- it's so encouraging to see the rewards of your labor!

Gm garden answer it’s is definitely that time to harvest, I recently just harvest a lot of fruits and veggies and herbs 🌿 fall is here........ Russel the garden protector 😆.

To freeze bell peppers, I just cut each one into four pieces and remove the seeds and stem. Lay out in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Freeze. Put into gallon zip lock bag. When I get ready to use them, I can pull out what I need, rinse which also thaws, and chop. Your harvest is beautiful and amazing!

Ohh Russell!!! He is the cutest :)) it's so sweet he is always near by or sleeping lol that's important too

I'm loving the time lapse of harvesting. It's as peaceful as sitting by a waterfall.

Congrats on having a baby girl!! You will love dressing her up💕😍.. Gardening/baking /cooking too.. Good luck and God Bless.. You and your beautiful family be well and stay healthy!!

Coffee with Laura and Russell the rabbit cat lol. I thought he was going to go bounding off into the plants chasing something. Such a great harvest and so awesome to show how you can plant later and still get lots of food to store for later. Thanks for the inspiration!

So sad that we now cant send seeds from Sweden to you. I've grown the most fun pea this season called " The train driver Bergfelts gigantic pea" It's a cross between a sugar and a grey- pea. It went enormus like six to eight times bigger than an ordinary pea. It was sweet, crisp and gave a lot for us to eat. So fun for the kids too. The best pea i've ever grown. Hugs Mia in Sweden

Wow thats a lot of harvest.. First time to see Russel standing like that for few seconds.. love your harvest.. I didn't know that o can still plant peas beans in July.. thank you for sharing

I noticed around 11:32 that Laura stopped using the kneeling pad. I guess she got very excited and overwhelmed with the abundant amount of beans in the ground. I am amazed at the ease in which she kneels and gets up picking out beans. In spite of the belly, she seems to carry on as she did not have one, at all. God Bless her.

Who knew you could get so much in such a short amount of time. It’s been so fun seeing how things have done and are doing in your new space. 🧡

I absolutely adore this video, your channel is a goldmine and seeing vids like this on in particular are so precious and not something I get to see where I live in the UK.

I'm going through a tough time with my gardening channel but listening to your happiness and harvesting gives me the push to keep going. Thank you

Loving the harvest. I love growing my vegetables with flowers too.

SO much food! I love it. This new property has been phenomenal

Russell is so funny. He's a reminder of how full of personality cats are! Thank you for always sharing the browning, yellow, stories of trellises falling over; it reminds me that there will be struggles along the way!

I just saw the videos with you and mom with give away flowers. Laura what a wonderful thing you did. Right now there s so much crazy out there, it s wonderful to see all the good. You and your.place great. You inspired me to keep going . I just love your videos.

Beautiful harvest! Living in Finland the growing season is quite short, but I’m happy to say that I’m getting two harvests of kale😊

Seeing your “ Beautiful bountiful harvest” incentivizes people like me to give it a try. Everything you do is so inspiring.❤️

You have so much energy, I so appreciate your beautiful veggie/flower combo. You need a veggie/flower stand! Have a wonderful day ❤️

This kind of motivation has kept me going all summer long when I normally just quit and hide inside. Thanks Laura!

We love you Laura, thanks for taking us along to harvest it’s SO much FUN!

A few days ago I made a mixed pickles , with cut up cucumbers, pearl onions & cauliflower, & cut up sliced carrots. Dill pickles canned, Jenkins with the baby cucumbers, pickled onions, grapple juice, & grapple sauce, & butter. My sister does the pickled beets, alone with the jams. I make the 3 kinds of oranges marmalade. Navel oranges, clemetimes, & mandarin oranges. Mixing those 3 kinds of oranges together, makes a great marmalade. I even use Splenda sugar ,1/4 cup for 1 cup of regular sugar. Wow what a great combination. My next project is zucchini & cucumber mixed sweet green relish, alongside regular sweet green number relish, & zucchini relish. Then getting the tomatoes from my Sister 's garden. Making stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, salsa,(mild), & thick. Corn relish, pineapple salsa for using with fish, & pork chops. Might even try apricot salsa this year. Found a recipe that sounds good. Canned pumpkin, make it with just cinnamon, & nutmeg. Can't use the ginger cause of deadly allergy. So make my baking goods without it. The peppers I use some in my canning, the rest & cut up & freeze, & just take out what I need for each meal, then put the rest back in the freezer. That way you can keep the peppers longers. I make 3 different batches. One with the green peppers, one with the green pepoers, & then make a mixed peppers mixture when I freeze them. Just make a bunch of little freezer bags , of the peppers, & freeze. Say about 1-2 cups of peppers per bags. I even use the cut up orange peels, & freeze it in small batches, for using in baking. Or shred them & stick in ice trays, then freeze with a little bit of water. Take them out with amount you would need for say citrus muffins, or chocolate & shredded orange peel cake or muffins. My Mom makes a beet salad with pickled beets, celery cut up fine, along with an apple, & Miracle Whip , delicious. If you like beet soup or bortch. It is delicious. With the beets, best tops, carrots, onions, cut up fine, you can even add spinach, or kale cut up. But you need to start with either bone broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. Then add your vegetables & tops of the vegetables . Add some Clubhouse Italian Seasoning with red lid only contains dehydrated vegetable peppers instead, of pepper spices. Which I can't have either. Add some onion powder, or salt, garlic powder or salt, a bay leaf. But the bay leaf needs to come out before serving. When everything is cooked, add your milk, with a little corn starch, to make it a little thicker. Cooking it a a little longer until it is a little thicker. Add a little bit of sour cream when serve it.

I planted 17 cucumber plants this spring for my niece and nephew, 2 & 3, they eat them whole off the vine and can get through 4 (or more!) each a day. Never have any surplus here haha.

This is everything I needed to see today! Please give us some of the recipes you use your harvest in ❤️

You got enough for the weekly harvest market sale! What an awesome and colorful spread! Not to mention, Ummm.........huhuh...excuse me.....just thinking out loud at how delicious 😋 I'm sure it will be! Great job! Have a great rest of the week and God bless. P.S. Like stuffed bell peppers? Freeze some whole with just the tops and seeds removed. I freeze mine on a cookie sheet and then bag them. But I have almost completely forgot to keep some set aside for this reason a couple of years. 😆

so amazing what you have grown from seed. Although I know this is not a cooking channel I would love to see some of your dishes you make with all this produce or just the end result. I am sure you are a great cook as well.

What a great harvest! That new land really turned out to do amazingly well! From a dust bowl to green bounty. Yes!

The produce looks so good. I love watching my flowers grow I can't wait til next spring to grow some herbs and produce. Great job Laura!

Loved Russell's brief stand-up routine!

What a bounty! Green beans are always a surprise when you go to harvest. They seem to hide well until you really get in there and see how many are there.

Wow 😍😍😍 a beautiful harvest 🥰🥰 I feel just like you do when you look at your baskets full of beautiful vegetables 🌽 and think “wow I grew that “ BEST feeling in the world 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

My auntie has a bunch of chickens BUT the eggs they lay have a very funky taste. My mom says it’s because of what they eat.... since your chickens tend to eat lots of veggies & fruits do you find that they eggs taste good, in comparison to eggs we buy at the grocery store. PS I love starting my day with Garden Answer, with everything going on around me you are a breath of fresh air for my soul. XOXO Zory from Katy , Texas zone 9

Makes me want to grow a vegetable garden when I see all you good produce.

Wow! This harvest is awesome! It sure is worth the effort to plant! I can only imagine what that would cost if you had to purchase all that or even apart of it. It's amazing and gratifying to see so much from all the hard work getting the new property started. ❤❤❤❤

I was given a gift one year of canned Dilly Beans flavored with garlic and a spicy pepper. It was amazing!! Since you have so many green beans that may be something to try!! Beautiful harvest!!

Russell the Rabbit!! So cute! My sister got some huge zucchini in her green box and she made the most amazing relish!! It is so good! Great on sandwiches and burgers. Such a bountiful harvest. Great for giving away!!

This is so inspiring.

Had a yard sale this weekend in Meridian and who popped up? some of your family. I was so thrilled to meet Aaron’s sister and all of them. Such sweet folks. Told them how much I love your channel and showed them my new yard. Just moved here. Russell hilarious 🤣

Good harvesting. Hard works never goes in vain. Good job, done wonderful.

Russell is a wonderful cat and protector. Cats stand on their hind legs to ward off predators. When they feel threatened cats tend to do this. I think he heard a noise that put him into that position. It does look cute to us though. I ❤🐱

Gotta love ❤️ Russell I love his special appearance .

I love watching your older videos when I’ve watched today’s video!! ❤️💫❤️

Such a beautiful garden space now...cannot even recognize or recall the land before you planted everything Laura! What a difference all the emending work! 🙏❤️🇨🇦

Beautiful vegetables 🌶 🍅 🌽 . I’m a beginner at gardening and truly enjoy seeing all your videos. You are an inspirational.

Roast the golden beets in the oven with a bit of olive oil! Delicious!!

Love when your cats show up in the videos! They always make me smile!

Russell needs his own channel 😻

Can't stop watching the harvest!👌👌👌

So funny. When we grew beans we were always amazed because it didn’t look like there were very many until we started picking. Then when we were done and looked back at the plants there were always some we had missed. Can’t have a garden where we live now so I’m enjoying watching your garden grow!!!

What a haul you got. Wow! If it keeps growing like this you & your family & your food bank are going to have plenty of fresh veggies for a while. At least until the cold gets them. Yeah! The chickens are going to feast to day. What a garden!! Yeah!!😀😃😄🙂🤗🤗🤗🤭🤭☀️🌞🌝🥒🌶🥕🍉🍢🌼🌻🌺🌸💐💐🐔💙❤

YAAAAY! My seven year old LOVES your harvest videos! She loves all of them, but the harvest ones (Especially where Russell photobombs and shows his butt) are her favorite. She thinks the cat is hilarious ! 🤣 Thank you for inspiring the next generation of gardeners! Thanks to your channel, she had a fantastic harvest season of tomatoes and basil (her favorite snack) and is planning a raised bed garden for next spring. ❤️

Here in Montana we had a couple of frosts several weeks ago. I covered up my day neutral strawberries and am getting a few and they are blooming. Earlier in the summer the grasshoppers, birds and slugs got most. I can probably keep them covered with clear plastic and blankets for another month.

Beautiful harvest. All your plants look amazing. No bug or heat damage. I love it. That Land and Sea must be magic stuff. We don’t have it here in central Texas yet. Come on, PW. Get us folks in Texas some! Lol. I’m discovering fall is the best type garden to have. I don’t have to deal with the hot and humid extremes we get. Canning is my favorite way to preserve right now. First, because you don’t have to depend on electricity to keep your food safe. Then, because it’s so very easy. Like those green beans, just wash and fill the jars. Same with the carrots and beets. I pickle my beets, too. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see a video of you ‘putting up’ the harvest. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

How do you usually enjoy your beets? Russell is so funny....looks like he was having a sneak peek over the flowers at whatever was going on in the distance! He has such a vibrant personality!

You are truly blessed!

Great Harvest!!! But I just can't get over how clear your paths are and free of weeds. Great job of keeping them clear!

We tried drying cucumbers this year with our new dehydrator. Sliced thinly and sprinkled with favorite spice like chipotle or ranch seasoning. Tasty little treats and great for using the big cukes.

Hearing the sound of you harvesting those carrots was like asmr 🤣 So relaxing haha

Lovely harvest! Now's when you could use that root cellar.

What a bounty harvest, Laura❣️. Please film the procedures you take to freezing your produce. Thanks 🤤

What a satisfying harvest. I love autumn and all it brings. Russell is so sweet 🐈 Could you please consider an update on your amaryllis? Do you cut the leaves back now? Is it a good idea to repot in fresh soil? When do you feed them and what with? Thanks for all the great videos. 🙏🏼😘

Can you do a video on how you can the beets? I would love to see the process you use.

Love watching harvest vids! This one's awesome. Thanks for sharing even when things aren't perfect - a garden is for learning and growing!

Would love to see the process of freezing and preserving.

wow its really nice to have vegetables garden so many pick to choose fresh vegetables for cooking. plus lovely flowers that brings life to sorrounding. 👍❤️

I love watching you harvest 😍 It would be so much fun to see some cooking with the harvest. Maybe that can be something that you put out on your other channel in the fall/winter then there is not much to do outside.

Everything is so glorious. Love Russell’s Meercat impression at 2:20🐈❤️

The amount of harvest you do all on your own in amazing ! Maybe next year you could think about doing an internship for a young aspiring gardner to help you. I'm guessing next years crop will be even bigger on the new land and you could really use the help!

Nice harvest, Laura. Your cats are adorable, Russell is a hoot. There’s a homeless young yellow cat has taken up here, I couldn’t help but fed it. We’re friends now, and my black cat, Boo, get along well. Your new big garden is awesome.

I like the small pickling cucumbers too. Love the beets.

Russell adds comedy to today's video! 🤣 That is a good start to this Fall crop harvest! When I grew beans it was always a bumper crop harvest, I believe I canned millions of jars! 😁 I am impressed with everything you harvested! 😃🍉🍓🥕🌶🫑🥒

Laura and Aaron, thanks for making such informational garden videos! I've been watching for nearly 5 years now and I'm constantly learning. I started seeing ASMR (no words, talking or music) videos on my YT feed and found them restful and calming, particularly of garden harvests like yours (particularly footage at 4:45 and 6:36). I've seen video hosts who let the sound of vegetables hitting a bowl or the snap of stem or stalk drive the content. It seems to be a bit of visual therapy! Have you already or would you consider creating such a video for your followers?

Yum! What a delicious harvest! Enjoy!!

Always love watching your videos they're always encouraging since you have so many zucchini have you ever tried making zucchini candy all you need to do is boil them in pineapple juice until the zucchini look clear and then dehydrate them of course you have to cut them in slices or pieces whatever size you would like them to be

Russel Rabbit is adorable. Great harvest!

Love Russell in all of your videos, Cheddar too when he shows up!! You do need to freeze some zucchini for winter baking/cooking, breads, brownies, mock apple pie, and breakfast frittata are our favorites!! The mock apple pie was the big surprise this year, and friends that don't like zucchini were fooled thinking they were eating apple pie, it was great!! One crust and crumble top...will be easy way to use a bigger zucchini!! Ever tried a steam foil pocket with zucchini and mushrooms for instance? Great with chicken, pork chops, or fish!! Easy clean up too!! Hopefully if we get you enough good zucchini recipes you will enjoy it and not feed them to chickens...they can eat on the plant vines that grew the produce!! Have a great day, enjoy your videos every day a lot, has helped my gardening skills tremendously!!😉🌻🌷🌼🐈😎

2:20 russell is cracking me up! 😂💕

Yes, this is soo encouraging! I cannot wait to have a veggie garden as big as yours.

Can we get a compilation of you harvesting beets and carrots and other root vegetables. Because those beet pulls were so satisfying😩🙌🏾❤️

Beet greens are wonderful to clean out the gallbladder, blend some in a smoothie! I mostly buy the beets for the greens. Steamed leaves are delicious too.🤗

Was missing Jonathan today with all the strawberries he would have an exciting time n Russell is sooooooooo cute 😘😘😘❤❤❤❤

Great harvest! They taste so much better than what comes out of the grocery store 'much more flavor'.

Please please please show us a video of canning! I don’t know anyone who can teach me in person, and you’re so good at teaching!

Laura, your channel and work really lifts my spirits. Do you get back pain or knee pain from all the bending and kneeling?

Russell is on the lookout! 😆 I really, really like the tango cosmos..may be an addition to my garden next year along with sunflowers 🙄😊

I love how Russell follows you around. Like he’s a dog. it is funny

love the string beans. one of my favorite to grow and easy. sauté some onions and mix with the cooked beans and butter, butter, butter. the next day even more tastier because its sitting in the onions and butter.

"this is all the beans I can deal with..." Watched it twice for a great laugh! Beautiful harvest

Very good harvest... you can't beat fresh vegetables and fruit.. have a good day

Laura, you can try harvesting the baby corns shoots for a mixed veggie stir fry. Throw in zucchini, carrots, beans with the baby corns for a quick stir fry. Use garlic and spring onions as aromatics. Delicious!
