    We did a huge harvest in the garden today, and it felt so good to get so much produce cleared out and into the root cellar. We picked potatoes, leeks, squash and cabbage, including the giant cabbage I was waiting to pick all summer. Any guesses as to how many lbs we ended up with?
    Thanks for watching!

    Maybe the younger children might like to make a map for you of the garden once the beds are cleared - and measure out the beds with tapes etc.. then they can help you fill in their blank map each year as you plant? Might be fun to do. ❤

    In my country cabbage is usually preserved fermented, whole heads as well as chopped as sauerkraut. People also sometimes ferment leaves to make cabbage rolls, which are so much better with fermented cabbage. If you live in colder climate, they can last until spring like that.

  • @tannenbaumgirl3100
    @tannenbaumgirl3100 11 месяцев назад +1

    They look like Kuri (Hokkaido) squash. Wealthy apple is considered one of the best apples ever...sweet, good eating and baking with good storage. Parent is Dutchess of Oldenburg (originally from Russia) and was widely grown in northern Europe in the 19th Century and was imported in 1835 by the Massachusssets Horticultural Society, and eventually also ended up in Minnesota and the University of Minnesota in 1920 and their cold hearty apple breeding program (see below) where it was crossbread. In fact Dutchess of Oldenburg parentage is present in almost every apple variety ever developed in the Minnesota program....I have nearly all Minnesota apples in my orchard except those patented for commercial production only, we'll need to wait until the patent expires or not renewed for those trees. Wealthy is an offspring of the Dutchess, as its known, hardy to zone 3...so it makes sense it was popular in Minnesota considering our winters. Wealthy was introduced Minnesota back in 1860 by Peter Gideon, and Wealthy itself also has many famous offsprings like Haralson, Epicure, Laxton's Fortune, and Red Sauce. Don't mean to be a smarty, but I keep a history page for each of the apple trees in my orchard. Hope this is interesting to you as well. PS...a fun fact, parentage can now also be determined by genetic testing of apples, amazing!

    The smaller orange squash that you harvested first look like Red Kuri, also known as Potimarron squash. I grew a vine this year and harvested 4 beautiful squash. They have dry dense flesh which taste a bit like sweet potato. Great roasted in large or small chunks (I like a knob of butter on mine :) ), mashed and used for 'shepherd's pie' topping or used for soups like butternut.

    For record keeping my garden, I took a school scribbler and used that. Nothing fancy, hand drawn rectangles for the beds and lines for the rows. Write in what was planted where. I never got around to writing in varieties of veggies. But at least I knew to rotate veggies each year.

    My parents lived in Clearwater. Dad always had an amazing potato crop. He always added 5 wheel barrow loads of compost to each row and tilled it in. He kept them well hilled. When we dug potatoes in the fall, they were dug and put in 5 gallon buckets within a few hours and then we’d dump them in a big wooden box he built in the root cellar. We had a row of potatoes this year that the deer chewed down to just a few inches. We got half an ice cream bucket of potatoes from the entire row. 😢
    Every time I see your cabbage it reminds me of my parents cabbage. Theirs was always huge like yours and never a hole in the leaves. We have to keep ours covered here or we go to Desert Hills to buy a few heads.

I spotted the Georgia Candy when ordering other seeds, and since it said they produce a slightly smaller squash I ordered those to try next year to see if they'll set more per plant. I glad you really enjoy them, because I don't know anyone else that grows them.

    I enjoy watching your channel. I only planted some produce once. And although it tasted good I didn't like the gardening nor did I have the time. I had to take care of our small garden when i was young (tilling, planting, weeding, harvesting) that I had had enough when I grew up. Almost everything you plant I would never touch. This girl does not even touch eggplant, any type of squash, pumpkin, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, any type of melons (except watermelon),etc. If I was 40 years younger, not disabled, not a single parent, didn't work full time in the ICU and had the desire I would plant watermelon, onions, potatoes, watermelon, corn, beets and did I mention watermelon! Your garden is beautiful though.
