I got a kick out of the people over at Sow The Land. They were showing off their squash harvest and how they got their seeds from Meg and Ben. Love how you all support one another. 🙏 That's what it's all about. 🎃 🥚 🍃 🍂 🍁
I'm with you on the garlic scape pesto Ben! My first year this year, making it from the hardnecks I planted last year. All of it turned out great, and I can't wait to plant the hardnecks again! I actually froze some pesto to put on the Ford hook lima beans that I am growing.
The best part was when Buggie told Ben” don’t fork it dad” when he was digging up the sweet potatoes. She knows her stuff at such a young age. So adorable!
I have a suggestion on how to make more storage for you guys! Build bench seating for your dining room table with a hinging tops. You can put a removable shelf in the middle so you can stack glass jars in 2 layers. Or you can put food grade buckets in it to free up space in other areas. I know you said you need places to store preserve food. Just an idea.
They definitely need that root cellar. Make it big enough to get everyone into in case of a tornado. Think back to your California days ( where I am)... It's always good to be prepared (says she who lives on the San Andreas).
I'm going to steal this idea for my own home. I'm also running out of space but each bedroom has a window that I've always wanted to put reading benches in front of... this is a great idea! Perfect timing!
Yes, the US labor force participation rate is higher than it’s been since the start of the pandemic, and less than a percentage point off what it was before then. It’s not that “nobody wants to work.’ Rather, some employers are finding it harder to hire people for the wages and conditions they’re offering.
Sad part is rhat "no one wants to work" it's the wages, no one wants to work for a wage that does not cover basic living expenses. Working 2 jobs to raise a family does not leave time for the family. Spouse is a retired contractor hired people with a liveable wage and was never short of workers.
Buggie is so cute she is always right under you when gardening. I don't know how Meg ever gets her and her clothes clean, because she's always helping and having a ball. Some people don't want their kids to get dirty, but you know I always said they are washable
So nice to see u both again , With ur good morning beautiful people , And working together happily ,plus the megs kitchen time , Oh how I missed that , Any way thanks again for the vid ,and seeing your beautiful family ,especially little buggy ,take care lovely people
"Best thing ever invented was cheese"; I don't know which son said that, but I wholly agree!!! AND GARLIC🤪. Thank you for the time and energy you put into sharing with us.
Meg's cooking always makes my mouth water! That pesto chicken pasta looked scrumptious! Great squash hauls this year. Can't wait to see the sweet potatoes once they are ready to dig.
Nice haul on squash! My mom used to use cushaw to make pies with. I love cushaw pie as they taste like pumpkin pie to me. The golf cart will be so handy. So glad you snagged it at an estate sale! Meg's chicken pesto over pasta looked amazing. I could tell from Buggie's huge bite that she definitely enjoyed it! Oh, her hair was so cute in pigtails! Beautiful little blonde ringlets of curls🥰 See y'all back on Friday!👋
If anybody needed a golf cart, y’all most definitely do. Glad you found a good deal and got it, because you needed it! I know your boys are loving it too. Great harvest!
That baby loves most everything to eat doesn't she? It's great how the kids eat such a variety. I love how you tell Meg dinner was great every night. So sweet and true I'm sure. You guys make an amazing couple. God knew who you both needed. Your kids seem so respectful. Live your sweet family.
I wish I would have known about the solar option for golf carts. We had one that came with our house. When it needed new batteries we gave it away. $700 for batteries for a couple who don't golf was a bit too rich for us.
We sold one too when it needed new batteries. This is the first I've ever heard of a solar option. That is an amazing harvest! Congrats! This year we planted winter squash and pumpkins for our first time. The squash bugs came along with them unfortunately. The oranger the flesh of the squash is the better I like it. The spaghetti squash I could take it or leave it. I needed to look into how to cook the spaghetti squash and some more recipes I like better.
I really love you ways. Just being realistic and simple. Yet appreciate little things. I love watching your channel. You guys are my go to during baby nap
Meg would you share your garlic scape pesto recipe? I’ve never made pesto of any kind and I really wanna try it. Your cooking is one of the main reasons I love your channel, that and you’re a beautiful family. But you cook like me in the sense that you just go for it. But you guys eat a lot of different things and it gives me such great ideas. I get tired of eating my own stuff. Lol So I borrow inspiration from you. Thank you! God bless you all. ~Lisa
Oh my goodness! 😍You can pick a couple of passionflowers and make a cup of tea before bedtime for a great night's sleep! Another great beneficial plant and so beautiful too!
Always fun to visit you guys , what a squash harvest. You might want to have some patience and wait till the sweet potatoes die back and let you know that their time has come ... So wonderful to see the kids helping. God bless and keep you all safe and well...Amen
I made garlic scape pesto year before last and there's still some in my freezer. It's still good! I froze it in oval shaped ice cube trays and transferred it into freezer bags. I used some recently honestly believing it would be freezer burned but it wasn't! Still awesome!
I have never seen or heard you mention that you had/have a fussy eater. Your kids are so lucky to have a mom that can cook. Its getting to be a dying art.
Gorgeous mountain of squash!!!! I love squash, and look forward to incorporating your techniques into my gardens in the future!! Thanks for sharing your days with us!!!! LOVE watching your family!! Cindy Ings, NL, Canada
Ben, another interesting chill ( yes I know I keep repeating myself 😎) video., ok relaxing video 😊. Meg, pesto pasta yum. Nice score on the Golf cart and yes sad nobody wants to work anymore. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲.
Ben, since you now have a golf cart, teach those boys to back a trailer. I had another man, just last night, pull down my street (dead end), and into my driveway, and could not figure out how to get trailer to go in right direction. Was so funny! A GIRL jumped in his big truck and backed his trailer out of my driveway, so he could go down the road. Love it!
Have you thought about using dish washing soap on the squash bugs? Just take a spray bottle and pour an inch or two of the soap in it and fill it up with water. shake it up a little and spray the bugs and it should kill the bugs by smothering them. If it doesn't work use more soap.
Hi Buggy you has grown so much in no time. That was my my life while growing up in my village no amount of money can buy that experience and happiness. GOD BLESS YOU ALL LOTS OF LOVE FROM AFRICA❤❤
I love when people say that 25 degrees is cold! It's currently 10:50am Nov 3 and it's 4 degrees. It's still only sweater weather! Come to Canada! We'll show you cold!!! 😆 I'm really enjoying the videos! Can't wait for the next one!!
Yay! Pumpkins and gourds are great to use for fall decorations 🎃 Doesn’t it just feel better when you clean up? And I’d love to see yall plant more around the chicken coop 🐓 Lily your hair looks so cute up in pig tails 👧🏼 M’Lady has my stomach growling lol 🍽️ mmm
You are so right about squash knowing you want them to grow! This year ONE tromboncino survived the drought. I was so, so proud. It had one squash, and a serious mess of male and female flowers when I had last checked it. But I very carefully moved its vine so it would stay in the bed, because it was heading across and area that gets mowed, into the cow field of our neighbor. A few days later I went out there, the vine was yellow, and my one squash bounced. Boinga, boinga. Like a slinky. I literally cried. Maybe next year.
Stop everything…I gotta go watch the Hollars they just posted! We got a golf cart when my twin boys were around 8..they are now early 30s and we still have that old golf cart..they loved it back then and now that they have kids of their own when they come over they still love cruising around the property on that cart..best $$$ we ever spent! Of course through the years we have had to purchase several of those crazy expensive batteries! Blessings guys!
Years ago and uncle from California brought some Tahitian squash to us. They were 4 1/2 feet long. We would just hack off 6 inches or so to cook and put saran wrap on the cut end and the rest of the squash would keep until the next time we cut off a hunk. They were delicious I haven’t seen them since❤
The boys will all pass their driving tests with ease, they've had so much practice with the homestead vehicles. The golf cart looks like such fun. Amazing harvest of marrows, so much animal food. Perhaps you can throw some seeds over where the kudzu grew, they'll have room to grow undisturbed. Have you tried growing them up in your food forest?
I live alone and I can only grow a couple of large pots of ordinary potatoes in my space, so it's enough for me, but the difference from the first pot harvested to the second pot a month later was astounding. I harvested the first and covered the second one to prevent it being a mud bath dig. I was growing Charlotts, my favourite waxy potato. It was more than double the first pot, and larger potatoes. So, when you think it's harvest time for spuds, cover and wait another month after chopping down the stems, they carry on growing :)
If the cardboard is clean, (without any plastic) you can add it to the compost heap if you tear it up small, the worms etc break it down and it creates more humus. Especially handy for worm farms.
Great harvest on your cushaws and butternut squash! My mother made pies from the cushaws and flavored them with the same amount of sugar and spices she used for pumpkin pies! Yummy! My favorite way to eat the butternuts (can’t remember what you call them) is to cut them in half, put butter and brown sugar on them, cover with foil, and bake them! They are SO delicious!
Watching your August 31st vlog, you said you live in NC,,, I do too! Not on a beautiful place like your’s, as a little girl I did. Yes; it was in Charlotte,but in the years I was a little girl,,,we lived on 52 acres with my momma’s whole family living on it, in different homes. Watching your children reminds me of us when we were children. Walking on briars didn’t hurt 😊. Live in a smaller town now. I’m a committed viewer now…☺️
Congrats on picking up a golf cart at an auction. They're perfect for not damaging the grass/ground when driving around. You will be using it often. Having a vehicle like this makes life so much easier. I can't get over all the squash you have now. That's a nice harvest! We ate sweet potatoes (Beauregard) last night from the garden. OMG...talk about really good, and so much better than from the grocery store. I hope you have a large harvest of sweet potatoes this year.
We love our golf cart! We bought it from a family member that had lost a spouse (my aunt) that we use at the river cabin but since getting our new homestead, it definitely makes getting around and hauling small stuff easier! Because of the back step, it kept getting drug on concrete so we lifted it and put bigger tires on it as well. Now we have no problem with loading-unloading or hills-sudden ditches and getting hung up. Yes, it over and doesn't feel like I even got started good! Lol
A cart of some sort is such a blessing! We use our lawn tractor with a trailer and it is so nice for so many things. We don’t have a big farm, just 3 acres, but still, lugging everything in a wheelbarrow is work.
Try this for a delicious way to prepare Cushaw . Peel it , scoop out the pulp & seeds . I use a good vegetable peeler .Then cut it into 2 inch cubes . Start sauteing the cubes in a frying pan with enough olive , etc oil to prevent sticking . When about half cooked thru , add a few pats of butter , drizzle real maple syrup over it & sprinkle with cinnamon . Cook on low heat . I also sprinkle coconut & walnuts in . Cook till done , but not mushy . IT IS DELICIOUS !! The very 1st Cushaw we bought was from our favorite apple orchard . All I knew was it was a winter squash . The owner said that most of the ' pumpkin ' pies in restaurants are actually made from Cushaw .
I got a kick out of the people over at Sow The Land. They were showing off their squash harvest and how they got their seeds from Meg and Ben.
Love how you all support one another. 🙏 That's what it's all about. 🎃 🥚 🍃 🍂 🍁
“Dad don’t fork it”. Too stinking cute. She knows her gardening.
Watching Buggie take a huge forkful of pasta, and I about fell over, she must have loved it big time. You guys are always a joy, and warm the heart.
I'm with you on the garlic scape pesto Ben! My first year this year, making it from the hardnecks I planted last year. All of it turned out great, and I can't wait to plant the hardnecks again! I actually froze some pesto to put on the Ford hook lima beans that I am growing.
The best part was when Buggie told Ben” don’t fork it dad” when he was digging up the sweet potatoes. She knows her stuff at such a young age. So adorable!
I agree, a root cellar would really benefit your family. So many bountiful blessings ❤
P.s. get the Rhodes over there with the digger. Lol 😂
I have a suggestion on how to make more storage for you guys! Build bench seating for your dining room table with a hinging tops. You can put a removable shelf in the middle so you can stack glass jars in 2 layers. Or you can put food grade buckets in it to free up space in other areas. I know you said you need places to store preserve food. Just an idea.
That’s an awesome idea ✔️
They definitely need that root cellar. Make it big enough to get everyone into in case of a tornado. Think back to your California days ( where I am)... It's always good to be prepared (says she who lives on the San Andreas).
Good idea!
Probably going to need casters on the legs of those benches so you can move them with all those canned goods inside!
I'm going to steal this idea for my own home. I'm also running out of space but each bedroom has a window that I've always wanted to put reading benches in front of... this is a great idea! Perfect timing!
Not that nobody wants to work, I think no one wants to work for low wages. Great video, as always!!
We have a worker shortage…we have an all time low unemployment rate we just have more jobs then people available!
Yes, the US labor force participation rate is higher than it’s been since the start of the pandemic, and less than a percentage point off what it was before then. It’s not that “nobody wants to work.’ Rather, some employers are finding it harder to hire people for the wages and conditions they’re offering.

The golf cart was a great idea and converting it to solar is even better! It's gonna need a name tho... 🤔
you guys are awesome thanks for taking the time and extra footwork of filming, and sharing your story ❤❤🙌🙌
"Best thing ever invented was cheese"; I don't know which son said that, but I wholly agree!!! AND GARLIC🤪. Thank you for the time and energy you put into sharing with us.
Great video. A wonderful harvest of squashes. The golf cart is so convenient. You have a wonderful working family. 💞
Yes! A golf cart on a farm/ranch are near lifesavers for saving arms, legs and backs! Great purchase.
❤❤❤
GOOD AFTERNOON!
I always look forward to seeing your post.i love the way your boys are always right there to help their parents.

I love it how you help your wife in the kitchen.andspend time with your children.
Wonderful harvest, done in a family manner! Great golf cart! So cute when Buggie told her dad not to poke the sweet potato with the fork🥰

Lovely see you harvest your garden for your food all children and father together 👍

I just plant an abundance of what I love. After putting up what I need I give the rest away because I don't have a pig. 😂
So nice to have that green house. You can grow all winter...........Love your videos and your family.
Love the boys working with dad!
Buggy needs to tell those sweet potatoes to grow 😄
Oh my goodness! 😍You can pick a couple of passionflowers and make a cup of tea before bedtime for a great night's sleep! Another great beneficial plant and so beautiful too!
Do you have to do anything too them?
Always fun to visit you guys , what a squash harvest. You might want to have some patience and wait till the sweet potatoes die back and let you know that their time has come ... So wonderful to see the kids helping. God bless and keep you all safe and well...Amen
Bonsoir beautifull people, bonsoir de France 😊
#1. Today. Wheee
My harvest was awful. I fed rodents. So I am rethinking next year.
I enjoy watching the whole family tackle projects whether it's harvesting squash or doing an area cleanup.
Golf cart!!!! Cool beans!! The kids are having a blast!
Ben be careful on uneven ground as a golf cart will tip over easily.
That music played when your sweet wife was making the pesto chicken dinner was so so beautiful,
I love that you always thank God. Such a blessing. It's always good to watch hood quality stuff on RUclips.
Hi from the UK. You guys give hope for the future. Stay safe, and thanks for the videos.
I made garlic scape pesto year before last and there's still some in my freezer. It's still good!
I froze it in oval shaped ice cube trays and transferred it into freezer bags. I used some recently honestly believing it would be freezer burned but it wasn't! Still awesome!
Good to see that we are not the only ones that do "Spring" cleaning in the Fall.
Doesn't everyone? I've always had my own time schedule! Works for me😉
You really need to sell the trombocino seeds. I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you.
Buggy looks so cute in her piggy tails
I love watching these homesteads. Just wish we were younger and could do this type of living. Wish thr best to them.
Yes, that is quite the Squash Mountain! Great job, awesome compost pile heat! And delicious looking dinner too! 👍🏼👍🏼
New land, golf cart..thank God you're building up your homestead, you've worked hard for it.
I have never seen or heard you mention that you had/have a fussy eater. Your kids are so lucky to have a mom that can cook. Its getting to be a dying art.
Gorgeous mountain of squash!!!! I love squash, and look forward to incorporating your techniques into my gardens in the future!!
Thanks for sharing your days with us!!!! LOVE watching your family!!

Ahh, exactly what I need to be doing this weekend 🥴 but it needs to be done.
You are so inspiring 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Makes us feel so good when a great clean up comes around.
Ben, another interesting chill ( yes I know I keep repeating myself 😎) video., ok relaxing video 😊.
Meg, pesto pasta yum.
Nice score on the Golf cart and yes sad nobody wants to work anymore.
Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲.

Everyone knows about spring cleanup but cleanup is just as important!
🍜❤After all that work in the garden Buggie was very hungry😊🫂
Hi Buggy you has grown so much in no time. That was my my life while growing up in my village no amount of money can buy that experience and happiness. GOD BLESS YOU ALL LOTS OF LOVE FROM AFRICA❤❤
Broken plastic buckets make GREAT planters for herbs, flowers, etc. A simple wrap around strap will hold them together. Up-cycle, Recycle!!
I really love the way you work together ❤
Do you know how I know that your kids live and respect their Dad. They grow their hair like him.
Pretty sure that Jack respects him too...just likes to be a "cool head"?
I don't know how many I have to say it, but I am just love yall!!
Ben, go to Tick Creek Ranch and look at their storm cellar/root cellar. The dugout would be an excellent place to put it.
“Best food ever invented is CHEESE” Lol love your kids!!
I love when people say that 25 degrees is cold! It's currently 10:50am Nov 3 and it's 4 degrees. It's still only sweater weather! Come to Canada! We'll show you cold!!! 😆 I'm really enjoying the videos! Can't wait for the next one!!
Yay! Pumpkins and gourds are great to use for fall decorations 🎃 Doesn’t it just feel better when you clean up? And I’d love to see yall plant more around the chicken coop 🐓 Lily your hair looks so cute up in pig tails 👧🏼 M’Lady has my stomach growling lol 🍽️ mmm
Lovely video, harvesting from your garden is always heartwarming. Busy family😊🦋💜
So true about the garlic, we only plant the hard necks now too! Awesome video! ♥♥♥

I loved playing with the passion vine flowers as a little girl. I pretended they were ballerinas.
I live alone and I can only grow a couple of large pots of ordinary potatoes in my space, so it's enough for me, but the difference from the first pot harvested to the second pot a month later was astounding.

Try this for a delicious way to prepare Cushaw . Peel it , scoop out the pulp & seeds . I use a good vegetable peeler .Then cut it into 2 inch cubes . Start sauteing the cubes in a frying pan with enough olive , etc oil to prevent sticking . When about half cooked thru , add a few pats of butter , drizzle real maple syrup over it & sprinkle with cinnamon . Cook on low heat . I also sprinkle coconut & walnuts in . Cook till done , but not mushy . IT IS DELICIOUS !!
The very 1st Cushaw we bought was from our favorite apple orchard . All I knew was it was a winter squash . The owner said that most of the ' pumpkin ' pies in restaurants are actually made from Cushaw .
Buggy's huge pasta pile 🤣
