I LOVE that you said you raised babies and toddlers first before raising pampered plants. I'm in the babies and toddler stage right now. (Baby #6 on the way). It's a good reminder for me to pace myself and not try to do everything all at once. Thank you!!
Your time will come!!!
Congratulations on baby number 6
@@elizabethtunstall thank you so much!
I raised 19 sons, only 8 years apart in age. 3 biological, and 16 adopted boys. Though we had our veggie garden, chickens, and always a milk cow, I waited to expand as well. My husband died when our sons were ages 4 to 12. I never expanding the hardening and animals, until my youngest started school. So, 1 year after my husband died. The wee ones need us to parent first. It's not a race. You'll do just fine. ❤
Congratulations on baby #6. We had issues having babies so I treasure my 3 girls.
The memories your children will have living on a farm seeing life as God intended it to be. Wholesome.
I have a friend who keeps a 3x5 file box with cards for anything she might forget. They're all in alphabetical order, and when she plants something she wants to remember or puts something "in a safe place" that she might forget she writes it on a card and files it. Ingenious!
I was raised old colony Mennonite in Manitoba, my first language was Low German, a lot like PA Dutch but probably some regional accent differences. We grew up with Saskatoon Berries which grew wild on the prairies and were incorporated into our region’s culture with recipes and foods inherited from our ancestors that came over from Russia in the late 1870s. They taste (to me) like blueberries on steroids. Big flavours! They do well in ph soil up to 7.5. My mom, having 6 kids made cookie sheets pies. Simply roll bigger pieces of pie dough into the same size as the sheets…..add sugared and floured berries to the top edge of the pan and top with another sheet of pie dough. When this is cooled and cut into rectangles it makes for an excellent hand snack we often ate outside while playing. It looks a bit like pop tarts but so much better! 😊 we came to expect out saskatoon pies in the form of sheet pan pies. Also she would make a couple of pans and bake them one at a time while the other waited in the freezer for harvest field suppers!
Oh that’s so fun!! Thanks for sharing.
I love that. Wish I had been able to learn more about farming from my grandmother's family. But she was the youngest of 6(that lived) and there was 30 something difference in age from her and the oldest. So they left farming when she was a young adult. She did have a goat farm and planned on showering us with knowledge but her husband died the yr before I was born and her step kids took her to court and she was made to sell it and split the money with them. So she sold it for $100 to her neighbor. But after that she didn't want to talk about farming much.
Watching the little boys eating the blueberries made me smile😉nothing better for them. I just planted my new blueberry plants after my old ones phased out. Looking forward to my first crop.
I love the way the children pop the blueberries in their mouth as fast as they can pick them. Congratulations
on your blueberries, may they produce an abundance for many years to come.
Mine did that to lips were blue by the time we paid for them!😂
I loved seeing Kendrick shovel them in as fast as he could, while Harrison gathered his in his hand. Those boys!
My husband and I are 27. We have a good ten years before we’re able to start out homestead. We’re in the toddlers stage right now, and hubby is military but seeing all of this gives me hope that even though we’ll be nearly 40 then, in ten years we will still be able to do everything we dream of!
Ruth Ann ~ I was so touched by the story of your Zinnias and how you dry and freeze them. It’s my dream to grow Zinnias on our little farm. I am not sure if Zone categories are the same in Europe as in the US. Would you ever share any tips about planting Zinnias for success? I am so happy for your blueberries. I live in a forest full of wild blueberries and lingonberries. Looking forward to the next garden update!
Great work! God keep blessing you! Share your abundance with have nots! Amen
I love your videos. I always learn something! I’m 75 and still have lots to learn about gardening.Thank you and May God richly bless you and your gardens. ❣️
My great x3-grandparents were Mennonite. They came over from Germany. I have a few pictures of them, but otherwise know nothing about them. I love your videos not only because we bought 10 acres for a homestead, but because maybe it gives me an insight on how they cooked etc. Thank you for your videos. Also, thank you for touching base on raising babies and toddlers. That's where we are now and everything is a slow process because of that, but it's okay !
Those boys are so cute. One is saving them for later and the other boy is feasting on the spot. I love it!!
My mother used to grow strawberries and raspberries, and we'd pick wild blueberries (and raspberries, too) - I hope your family enjoys your berries as much as we all did! God bless you all.
As you say, "God is good!" Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm really enjoying your content, family and wise teachings. God blessed me well when He led me to your channel.
I love your channel ❤️. Your channel reminds me of my childhood. I'm a 61 yr old single woman disabled and miss being able to get out in a garden. I still can what I can, but most is store bought.
SO GLAD YOU GET TO DO SOMETHING FOR "YOU". SENDING MUCH LOVE AND PRAYERS YOUR WAY.
Oh how you are blessed to have a tractor...and a brother with a sawmill! ;) God bless your dream & bring it to wonderful harvests.
Lol the boys are like baby bears raiding his blueberries 🫐🫐
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. MAY YOU HAVE MANY YEARS OF BOUNTIFUL HARVESTS.. STAY BLESSED.
Oh gosh, Ms. Ruthann! That is going to be a beautiful feature in your garden. The bees will love you and there's nothing better than homemade blueberry jam!
I hope so too!
I just love to see children playing outside. Being bare food is so important for the body to get minerals from the earth. Love your channel!!
This may well have been said earlier -but comfrey as a tight border between your lawn and garden beds will provide a nemotode barrier and grass will not grow past the Comfrey. It's a fabulous plant with many benefits to have in the garden:)
This is a great idea!!!
This was really great, and very informative for those who would love to grow blueberries. Pine needles are also good for blueberries, but like wood chips they take long to break down. That was a great video thank you ☺️
I always enjoy your videos watching your sweet family work so well together, have a wonderful 4th of July weekend 🇺🇸
It’s wonderful to see you teaching your children all the life skills they are learning as they help you.
We have blueberries and they have been producing so much in these years we been here ! ❤❤❤❤
How exciting your family is going to enjoy these for many years
That’s a Beautiful sight right there wind blowing kidos eating fresh blueberries healthy wholesome goodness and sunshine ☀️
My daughter's dream! She LOVES blueberries. I always tell her when she grows up she is going to have to marry a blueberry farmer!
Or maybe your daughter will become a blueberry farmer. I’m a berry farmer. 😊
I learn so much from you RuthAnn! Thank you for teaching me!
Pine straw will also acidify your soil, as well as provide a mulch cover
You are so fun to watch and your kids. I have a 9 year old granddaughter that lives next door. She helps me with the chickens, we go fishing at our lake and other things. Have a blessed day.
I'm so glad you are able to enjoy your passion.
Lovely blueberry plants and that water looks so clear and cool.
Maxwell is so cute! He seems very shy.
Beautiful gardens. It seems like all i do is fight weeds ( and loose) in my gardens. Between the weeds and wildlife i get discouraged.
Amen on the rain
Just a joy to a lovely Saturday morning! 🙏🏻
Wow, I had no idea of how much work it is raising blueberries, thank you for all the information, good luck with your berries
So happy for you I love watching your family thank you for letting me be a part of it for a while and yes God is great
Congratulations on fulfilling your dream! It was so fun watching the boys packing in the berries. If I were there, I’d be joining them. Can’t wait to see them next year.
I wish the best for your blue berries for the next 50 years, and hope you get more plants to be able to have enough for fresh eating and for pies etc.❤😊
You might like to try honeyberries, they can handle your soil, taste like blueberries, and don't need any baby care LOL. I have to say, how utterly refreshing to find such goodness in all of your videos, I can watch your channel with my grandchild without fear of objectionable language, I thank you. We do have blueberries but they do need a lot of acidification! Also bees for pollination, so maybe plant your flowers very close by.
My roses came with paper tags on the package and I put them in a binder and listed where I planted each and every one of them it's the same thing about drawing a diagram and keeping a garden notebook. My flower bulbs and things of that nature when I ran out of time and energy to get them into notebook I put them in a box one of the decorative shoe boxes.
Yay! A dream coming true is always exciting.
Something I have heard to use as a natural border is planting comfrey. The roots act as underground wall that weeds and grass have a hard time getting through.
That’s an interesting idea!
Oh I am going to try these trip with Blueberries here, we have volcanic soil and it’s high PH so going to try again planting with your tricks. Love your channel so much. Hi from cool Queensland Australia (winter here)
This was a very educational video thank you. You have beautiful children. You are blessed.
Sooo excited for the new video. You and your family are such an inspiration. I always learn something new from you. I pray God's blessings on you all.
I am new to your videos, but thrilled that I learn something everyday 😍. I remember many things about gardens and farming when I was growing up, but it was not fun like yours 😁
also I don’t remember being told the hows and why things were done a certain way. I love that you teach as you go, so many things to learn and saves asking a lot of questions! 🤣
I am retired and growing a few things in my flower bed and some pots, just for fun! I have watched water keep things alive, but rain makes them grow like crazy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I have grape tomatoes, cilantro, basil, onions, and lettuce. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Texas is a retirement place for me, not where I am originally from so learning to grow things is a challenge for me 🤣🤣
I noticed on this video that you do not have any mountains in Iowa I live in Kentucky and we have mountains all around us I live down in a Valley beautiful land in Iowa but I love Kentucky!!! I love you!!!
Maxwell is so darn cute😊

❤Wonderful!❤ How awesome for the boys to get full bellies of blueberries straight from the bush! Memories being made!!!
We have wild blueberries at the back of our yard here in northern MI. I'm really hoping to get them to prosper next year. I'm going to try some of your tricks and tips this coming spring!
Thanks Ruthanne!
I’m 4 hours North in Minnesota of your farm and I’m learning so much that I can use in my everyday life. At my age you’d think I was wiser 😉….but a person never stops learning and I needed this information on growing blueberries!! I originally grow up in the International Falls area which is on the Ontario Canada border and we just naturally would head to the woods to our secret find, as we called it, and would go blueberry picking! So I naturally thought all of Minnesota would be ripe for blueberry growing….but that’s not true 😂…so I’m learning so much from your channel that I just wanted to take this time (I’m sure there’ll be many more times) to say a thank you for your learning, teaching and sharing! So much appreciated!! 💕👍
don't know if you have access to pine straw near you , but it works great for the blueberries. Thanks for your all your work, love to watch all the goings on out there.
This makes me realize how much I took for granted all the blueberry bushes growing wild along my grandmother’s lake cabin property in New Hampshire.
Great Job Everyone from SC !
Thanks for sharing your knowledge about planting blueberry plants, maybe I’ll try again.
I always put my used coffee grounds on my blueberry plants an left over coffee.
You can also use diluted vinegar an water around the plants.
Hope yaw get a big harvest love the planting beds
When I had raspberries and blueberries, only a few of each we put down chicken droppings around them to make more acidity
I’m so thankful for all the information that you gave…. I have one blueberry bush’ it’s called patriot it’s been great. I’ve planted all my fruit trees & berries for my grandchildren & teacher them about good home grown food…. And why it’s so important to do . What’s in your store are not always healthy and how to read labels. 🫶🏼 blessings 🙏🏻
I learn so much from you on every video… thank you for sharing!!!
Kendrick and them blueberries 😂💙
I live about a half hour from starks nursery. They have very nice plants and trees. Love watching your videos!
This was so informative and delightful to watch. My soil where I live is also very, very alkaline and I've never known how to amend that so I can plant those acid living plants. Thank you!
The sulfur pellets, I believe will be the key for us!!!
Thank you for sharing this video. I have learned so much on how to grow blueberries. I too would love to have a large blueberry patch. I learn so much from you, thank you. God's blessing on an abundant garden.
I love that you mentioned hoping that your grandchildren would be enjoying the fruits of you labor for years to come.
Another wonderful video! Love the family working together on a project.
Boys are always hungry . Glad to see them filling up their tummys.
Beautiful video. You have beautiful well behaved children. Thank you for sharing your family.
Beds look beautiful. I love your farm. Reminds me of home. (a dairy farm on the eastern shore of Maryland.). Wonderful memories. Thank you.
❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤ SO HAPPY YOU DID IT. BLUEBERRY PIE COMING UP 😊
Your kids picking fruit snacks was priceless. When my raspberries are on, I tell my kids fruit snacks are ready. They love picking fresh fruit. Enjoy your new blueberry plants, time and a season for all things. It really is good to know when needs your time and attention the most from year to year.
Love this video. Looking forward to raising my own blueberries (planting anyway) this next year; 2024. I’ll save this video and refer back to it. 🥰
I’m so happy that I bumped through here and found your RUclips videos. Luv the way you teach and do things with your family. I’m myself learning . Here from Harrisburg Pennsylvania
Hello!!! I know Harrisburg pa!!!
Yes , my parents raised me old fashion ways. Lost my husband 2/21 . We’re married close to 25 yrs. so I’m here in a house by myself. I work at the VA from Lebanon, Just transferred to VA in new Cumberland which is so close to home in Steelton. Would love to visit your farm & learn from you. Never toured a farm before. It looks so nice& organized I’m starting to can but I’m afraid of using my pressure one. 😮 you make the gardening so easy. Can’t wait for 2024 gardening 👩🏻🌾
You have really done your research.
Rain is a blessing. I just love the way the garden greens up after a real rain. No matter how you water, it just is not the same.
Right!! So amazing
This was so helpful! I now know probably why I havent been very successful with Blueberries.
Enjoy your blueberries! I love them. Be blessed for all your hard work!!!!
Thank you❤!!! I just planted blueberries. I ordered the sulfur pellets and a ph meter after watching your video.
Glad I could help!
Those are enormous angle worms! Must be very healthy soil. You will have a wonderful harvest of blueberries. The plants in your brothers garden are amazing. 300! Wow!
I have wanted to grow blueberries forever, but, even though they are naturally grown in my area, they do not thrive in my yard. It’s too alkaline as well. BUT Saskatoon berries (also called service berry) do great! They taste like a mild blueberry, a little smaller with a larger, edible seed. They are a favourite in my home. Haskaps (also called honey berry) also do good but they need an appropriate pollinator. Saskatoons are self pollinating. No babysitting.
Those babies are the cutest 💖💖💖
i especially njoy your videos which are engaging and informative but mostly I njoy them bc of you! it’s like a visit with a dear sister! Blessings ✨
I'm so glad! Thanks for these kind words!!!
I love how your kids are always involved! The two little ones sure know how to use that stapler!!!😂❤️
That was a great day for them!! Lol
Beautiful!!
How exciting !!
So glad y’all you got your blueberry bushes! Your garden is really gruzwza❤z c.
On my allotment everyone mulches their blueberries etc with pine needles as they are acidic 😉😉❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for another wonderful video.
Beautiful!
Thank you! Love, love, love your videos! I look forward to watching each one!
Yay! Thank you!
What a beautiful video, thank you!
Ruthann, I just recently discovered your videos and I enjoy them so much. Keeping on keeping on and yes, God is good! Blessings to you and yours! Andrea
Thank you so much!
Lovely 💕
Cutest little helpers ever!
Woohoo I'm so happy for you. ❤
Beautiful Garden RuthAnn 9-4-2023❤
Looks fantastic. 😊
