Links are affiliate links, but I will only recommend items I LOVE and use daily with no extra cost to you, and it helps support the channel! Thank you for your support!
I love how your parents are so helpful & enjoy spending time with you.
Absolutely. Wish my parents did! It’s such a treasure. It makes me happy seeing a happy family together.
Also they probably get to see the baby 😊
I suspect they get to cuddle a very special family member as a result xxx
Omg 😱 😂I see - dried apples, apple sauce, preserved apples, apple butter, apple crumble, apple cake , pears as well . Plus maybe apple cider ??? Apple cider vinegar ?? How fabulous xxx Plus I see preserved potatoes, chips, roasted, mashed, and even soup xxxx
I am so happy for you, that your harvest is so greatly
Damaged apples or pears = cider, brandy, pie filling, sauce, vinegar and so many other yummy things. Don't stress over a little damage from the sun. 😊
Yes Becky has done most of these in previous apple harvests so talented 😁💕
Thanks for joining me and my dad in the garden for this harvest! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
My dad's daily devotional channel is here - www.youtube.com/@bewithjesus365
Hey Becky! Quick question, can you link the apron you wear in your kitchen while cooking, with the crisscross back please? 😊
I can't find your dad link can you put in please Thank you!😊
Hi Becky, hey friends, my son just yelled from his room. Becky dropped a video. Met me in the living.😂❤😂
So glad it came back on. Love videos with your parents. What a blessing for you and us.
I hope u all to
Also, pears are usually picked unripe from the tree as they ripen from the inside out. They are need cold storage before ripening. Learned this after many years of our prolifically producing pear tree giving us unusable pears. Turns out it was our fault, not the trees:)
That’s what I was told to do, and was thinking about it all tgrough the segment. Pears that ripen fully on the tree are generally quite mushy.
I lost my dad a year ago and I gotta say this is super comforting to watch you two together. Definitely memories to last y’all a lifetime!
Agreed ❤
After you cut up your apples for pie filling, hand pies, crisps, applesauce etc, nobody will be able to tell that you cut off a sun spot, bruise or bug damage. They will only know delicious! The perfect ones are good for storage. Remember to save some for stuffing your turkey and for pork roasts. They sweeten the meat in the best ways and keep them moist.
I love the excitement your dad has digging potatoes 😊
Treasure hunt😂 ❤❤
I love that your dad is so willing to help you. I watch your dad’s devotional pretty regularly and love the encouragement.
Does your father have a RUclips channel?
@@jessicavelzy2108he does. I dont recall the name though. Maybe reply to the person who regularly watches him.
Did I miss the link to Dad’s daily devotional?
Before next year’s potato harvest, get a Potato Fork (a.k.a. Garden or Spading fork). The tines are much broader and less damaging than the narrow tines of a Pitchfork, designed for “pitching” straw or hay.
I was just ready to mention that! Lucky I scrolled down to find your post. We always used a potato fork to harvest out potatoes. The hay forks are not meant to use with dirt like a shovel.
Great Christmas gift for Dad!! Just what he wanted right 😉
my mom still has HER grandfather's potato fork (circa 1920) it will someday be mine!
Ah I just recently lost my dad and watching this reminds me of some of the projects we used to do together , treasure your time together.
My condolences, so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so sorry. Rest gently...😢
It would take too long to tell you how my dad and I planted potatoes when my girls were little. It was magical. Thanks for the memories. It really is buried treasure. 35 years later and my daughters still remember the excitement. ❤️
How blessed you are to spend time with your dad making a memory together. Enjoy these times, they go by quickly.
You have a lovely Mom but your Dad reminds me of my Pop and I miss him SO MUCH! Enjoy them and I know that you do.❤
I love your Dad's devotional channel. Be with Jesus 365. It's been a real blessing watching it everyday. I recommend it to everyone out there.❤ Great harvest Becky.👍❤
Becky I ordered the canning book you recommended in your last video. I got it today and oh my word! I started flipping through it before work. My husband found me on the floor with my dog flipping through pages like a little kid. I haven't been this excited to try new recipes since my last book purchase 2 years ago. Thank you so much.
I do the same thing lol but my three dogs usually don't allow me to do much flipping lol
Wonderful! That makes me so happy!
I bought it too! It is awesome!
@mtblondie0036 🤣 we have 6 dogs. 5 of them are young boxers. If I had the boxers with me on the floor, there wouldn't be much flipping either. But my senior pittie loves hanging out doing chill things with me. He loves when I lay there and talk to him or read to him.
I got the new book also and I’m the little sister but I’m teaching my big sister how to can so i ordered one for her too
Watching your dad harvest potatoes is always such a delight!
Humble plants have fed this nation! Apples, pears, russets. Amazing harvest, Becky!!
A Dad vlog? YES! He is such a character and I love seeing your family.
What a blessing to live where you can have such wonderful Apple and Pear trees!
I'm actually crying now watching you with your dad. You are so blessed to have your parents, and in laws so close and willing to help ❤️.
It's so lovely how your dad & mom,are always there to help you on those labour intensive days,& share the joy of harvesting your own produce.💚
I was born and raised in Oregon and we had 25 acres of apple trees. You can wrap them in newspaper and put in cardboard boxes in a cool garage they will last until spring. We canned applesauce, pie filling, dehydrated, juiced apples and gifted the area w apples.
Awesome harvest! I recommend that you prune those apple trees this fall, it doesn't look like they've been pruned in awhile. One way that I prep my beds for winter is to spread alfalfa hay across the top of the beds and let it rot over the winter, then I turn it under before spring planting. It is great fertilizer, prevents weeds, and when you turn in under it helps your soil retain moisture through the summer months..
Maybe you could pick some of the damaged fruit and put them on the boundary of your property for the wildlife to eat, instead of it rotting on the trees.
Becky it’s a blessing to watch you and your dad in the garden❤
You Dad is such a solid guy. Great harvest on the second round of potatoes. Your garden is blessed. Great job!
Beautiful harvest! Your Mom, and Dad are so loving, and so helpful. Cherish these moments❤
I love seeing your parents help in the garden! The smile on your dad's face is so contagious! Harvesting potatoes is so satisfying and rewarding! I am grateful that you are willing to take us along while you learn to be a better gardener and I am doing what I can to become a better one as well. I admire your motivation to provide your family with delicious fresh foods! I hope your fall garden is everything that you have been dreaming of!
Nothing boring about growing potatoes! I actually find the harvesting part quite addictive: once I start it’s pretty much impossible to stop, so they better all be ready! Love seeing you working with your mum and dad, they’re both naturals on the camera. Will be growing russets next season here in Tasmania!
There is a picking tool for high branches we use in new England It's a pole, with a small basket/lid. The fruit falls into the basket. Its really nice because no ladder is needed!
Love your videos and seeing your dad what a great example your son has grandma the other day helping mommy and now dad and mom love it.😊
No thank you Becky & dad for allowing us to view your day in the life of harvesting lol I totally enjoy these videos so again thank you!!
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along Becky and your dad is so awesome 👍🥔🥔🥔🥔🌻🌻🌻🌻🍎🍎🍎🍎
What a wonderful apple 🍎, potatoes 🥔 and pears 🍐 harvest! And your father is so cool 😎! 😊👍💕💕💕
I just love your dad!!! He is just a cutie digging up potatoes! 😊
That’s what us dads and grandpa’s like me are for. We know things and fix stuff. Always rely on our experience.
I love that your Dad comes over to help you. How nice to work side by side to do good things! He seems like a great guy. Enjoy him while you have him
I love your dad's daily devotionals. Your parents are the sweetest people, and so loving and kind. I wish everyone could feel the love they have for one another. You are truly blessed! Love your YT channel. I have learned so much. Thank you!
Your so blessed to have your parents. Love the potato harvest.
You are so blessed to have your Dad, he is such a great help as you know. My father has been gone over 20 years now and I still miss him everyday. The harvest was enormous...so happy for your family.
I love seeing you spend time with your dad . I lost my dad when he was 50 yrs old hes been gone 43 years ago it hurts like it just happened. Cherish your parents my mom is still with us she just turned 91. ❤️.
When I see your dad jumping in to help, it brings tears (of joy) to my eyes. That was my dad. He passed away 3 years ago and this video reminds me to appreciate how lucky I was!
How fun! Your dad is awesome, Becky. What a blessing!
The correct way to pick apples. You turn the eye of the apple to the sky the apple will break off the tree. The eye is on the bottom of the Apple.
If you just pull the apple down you can damage the branch of the tree.
Amazing harvest. 👏👍
Great video. Tip, I you turn thr Apple upside down and give a little twist when picking they come off the tree much easier with no damage to the tree
Your dad is so cute when he harvests potatoes 😊
So enjoyed you and your dad harvesting potatoes and apples ! 👏👏
Didn't know about 😢sun burns in apples....
I was smiling through out the video as if I'm doing the harvest with my dad.. ❤❤❤
I follow your Dad’s RUclips channel devotional. What a blessing! ❤
You can certainly tell how much your parents love you, it’s a joy to watch families like yours.
I love your dad's daily devotions! They helped me through an extremely difficult time this last fall and winter.
I can't wait to see your son with your dad in the garden! The will have so much fun together!
New Gardner in Ohio: You are so Blessed to have parents who enjoy helping you in the Garden. I love seeing them.
If you pick up all the fallen apples and pears (chicken feed?), the wasp problem will lessen. Great harvest! Thanks for sharing.
I've read that apples are fine for chickens...just not the seeds. Is that true?
Apple seeds do contain just the tiniest amount of cyanide, the chickens would have to eat a huge truckload of seeds every day to even start feeling sick. In short, no problem even for humans if you accidentally swallow a seed.
Wonderful harvest and quality time with your dad. You could not ask for a better dad date. Becky you are precious!
I've been looking forward to this harvest!!
I hope you enjoy it!
When we were kids (I’m in my late 60s) my parents had a huge garden with lots of fruit trees and a 20 ft green house. One of our chores was to gather the windfall apples from the 5 apple trees.
My mum would process the windfalls( cutting of damage, bruising etc) and make into alcoholic cider (scrumpy). No apples were left on the ground to rot meaning there was nothing to attract wasps. The scrumpy was delicious. The apple trees were varieties where the apples were good keepers.
Freezing food wasn’t common in those days, so when dad harvested from the trees, we used to pick out the unblemished apples wrap them in tissue and lay in stackable trays which would go in our cool dark cellar. They would remain edible (albeit a bit wizened towards the end) until about February.
The blemished apples would be eaten quickly or made into preserves such as chutney, jam, jelly or bottle as stewed apple.
Becky! How sweet that your Dad has a devotional channel. I definitely signed up. Will start in the morning when I wake. So glad your potato harvest went well!
What an amazing harvest season you're having!!
There are food banks that except harvest from growers. What a blessing that would be to families that have never had home grown fruits/vegetables 🙌.
I am watching your dad help you really missing my grandpa he used to help me all the time with anything I needed. You are blessed to have family that loves and helps you!!❤
Becky you need to twist the apples in your hand a little and then pull slowly down. This will be less damage to the branches.
If you turn off the water one week before harvest, your potatoes will be easier to dig and will be dryer.
It is so wonderful that you are able to share so much with your family and friends! What a huge harvest your garden has produced!
I couldnt help but smile at how happy you looked when your dad said he wants some zuchini😂. Such a blessed harvest glory to God. God bless❤
Not sure if anyone else commented on this, but in future, dear, lift and twist as you harvest your fruits. I worked harvesting apples for a few seasons, and learned that if you break off the woody tip of the branch, called the spur, which the stem is connected to, no apple will grow there next year. By lifting and twisting, you use a lighter touch, and therefore avoid making finger bruises on your apples. Wonderful harvest of potatoes and apples. Your garden is amazing!
Also, with the large amount of apples you get, you could get a cider press, and press the apples to can your own apple juice.
A far as the apples are concerned most sunspots and small damage can be cut away and the rest of the apple should still be ok, me and my foster mother used to even pick them off the ground , cutting out the bad spots and making apple sauce and canning chunked for pies and such. Awesome harvest! Stuffed zucchini boats are so delicious! I have frozen a bunch in the past as well for stir-fries.
I love harvest videos!!! So excited to watch! Have an awesome weekend! ❤
Thank you! You too!
@@AcreHomestead I recently subscribed to your dads channel. I love the devotionals 💚 thank you for sharing 😊
It’s best to twist an apple off the tree instead of pulling it off. Less damage too tree and future production.
Your parents are such a blessing! It’s rare to find loving and involved parents these days! All glory to God! 🙏
Really enjoyed watching your dad's excitement as he harvested potatoes. I also appreciate the bond between you and your parents. My dad and I were extremely close and did many things together. Miss him every day!
Love how your parents are so helpful. It's truly a blessing.
Becky pears should be picked underripe. If you leave them to ripen on the tree, they get little hard bits through them
Becky see if you can get someone to help you prune your apple tree. It needs more light and air flow. This will help with the presure next year. You can also spray with Souround Clay next year. It will make your harvest even better and more healthy. Just sharing.
Pick sooner shade cloth, trees need trimmed back watch some videos on how. The trees probably weren’t trimmed back for couple of years.
It is so heart warming to see you and your Dad working together on your potatoes
Sweet parents❤ you should be so pleased with your first year garden at this house. Congratulations on a job well done. I plan to listen to your dads devotional channel. You are an inspiration as are your parents. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so happy to see your dad on your channel again! I enjoy seeing him and your mom helping you out in the garden. It makes my heart smile. 😊🤗
I definitely plan to check out your dad's RUclips channel! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love that you have the help of such awesome parents seems like your entire Family and Josh's Family are great people and all Love one another!
It's amazing that you take advantage of all the food you have available and share it, too. I don't have any fruit trees and it saddens me to see some trees full of fruit in my area that people do not eat or give away. The fruit just falls off the branches and rots. Your generosity is rewarded. It seems like the more you share the better harvest you get. Very well deserved.
Thank you! It makes me sad to so I want as many people to enjoy it as possible!
Thank you for replying! Can't wait to see what you do with all those goodies! I have learned so much from you!
This makes me sad too. We have a new-ish neighbor and I just found out that he cut down the pear tree in his backyard because last year they fell off the tree and he had a ton of bugs. I’m like, I would have happily come over and picked them all off the tree! 😢
Potato harvest looked very productive!! Glad your father could help out !! 😀😀😀
Becky thank you so much. I used to harvest with my Dad. I could smell the freshly turned soil right throught the video! The excitement that you and your Dad have is so joyful!!! What a great apple and pear harvest! And wow was there alot of potatoes!! So fun. Hugs.
I’m moving soon and will have a garden for the first time since I was a child. You’ve inspired me to grow some produce. I’m definitely going to grow some russet potatoes. I’m going to get me a garden diary to tell me when to plant seeds and baby plants. I’m planning a start in January. Can’t wait. xx
Thank you Becky and Dr. Mark for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. What a great vlog. Have a blessed and beautiful day.
The fruit trees in Lake County Oregon are producing this year! It's been decades!
What a huge blessing to have your dad’s help and your harvest!!
You need to provide it with extra water during the hot summer months.
Watching you eat your apples and your pear inspired me now to go to one of the local orchard stands and get some. 😁
Your dad is so awesome!
I love watching your videos. It’s fun to watch you discover new things and all the wonderful food you can grow by yourself. But I am green with envy.😊
My mom would just cut the bad part off and use the other half of a piece of fruit
This is the most beautiful apple harvest
So generous of you, Becky, to share the fruits of your labor with your friends! If I could grow fruit trees in my condo…I would! I miss having them! Enjoy! Bye, Dad!
How awesome that you have your parents close by to help.
I am addicted to watching all your videos.
Those apples would make some amazing Applebutter jam.
Russet potatoes are pretty much what we eat!
I am encouraged to look into gardening in the spring. Not as big as yours but small enough to start and find what we like to grow and eat
! We love homemade salsa so veggies for that is a must! Loving all the canning tips!
Will you rake the ground to move the downed apples to a star outside the fence for the deer to enjoy?
Also, will you at the proper time top the fruit trees to make harvesting next season more manageable ? No ladder climbing.
It's great that you have your Dad to help you and your Mom
Just the time you get to spend with them is worth everything
❤️😊
We had pear trees in a vacant lot next to our house. I remember my brother climbing and shaking the trees, my mom and I collecting pears and my mom making homemade pear preserves. So delicious!
You should let the guy you buy your pork from come pick up the bad apples to feed to the pigs….cheap way to get your yard cleaned up. Just an idea
You can still eat the sunburned apple.
Loved this video with your Dad helping. I enjoy his You tube channel Be With Jesus 365! Very encouraging.
Yay on your fruit and potato harvest. Im so happy for you. God bless you for sharing your knowledge and your wealth of abundance!
Wonderful memories are made and shared how lucky you are to have your mom and dad what a blessing
Please take out that cedar bush. It's not good for the Apple trees. The sun damaged apples could still be used if you cut off the bad in apple sauce.
