wowsers. I havent even harvested anything yet. Oh other than chives. My lettuce is stil only a 1in high...hehheheh the joys of living way up north. YOu strawberries look awesome, i can't wait for mine.
Make BLT(Bacon, Lettece, Tomato) soup with the lettece, lots of recipes online. Cook a pot to see if you like it. Try freeze or dehydrate lettece to make soup in the Winter.
Wow everything looks amazing! I grew the same lettuce but its so small! So is my swiss chard, broccoli, and kohlrabi....I wonder what I am doing wrong.
Wow! I love when the hard work starts paying off! Of course, it brings another type of hard work which is also rewarding! Introduced my granddaughter to fresh green beans in the garden yesterday and she got the first blackberry too! Thanks Ms. Rachael for taking us along!
I've never used the broccoli, etc., leaves. I imagine I'm not the only one. How many people would they feed if everyone saved the greens? I imagine a small country's worth.
Wow! I'm looking forward to hearing what you do with all those leaves! 😋 I didn't know to pick the lower leaves of the brussel sprouts - guess I have a task to do today 😍
As the baby brussel sprouts start forming you continue to take the leaves off. I'm just happy to finally wise up and use them. Roasted brussel sprout leaves are supposedly wonderful
We don't have a hose or outside spicket or even a sink so we have to carry buckets and watering cans about 1/2-3/4 of an acre away from the house daily. I like the exercise sometimes lol
New subscriber here! Your channel is great. My peas and beans are booming in TN, would love to see more of your harvests simply because it’s encouraging and exciting to see how other gardeners are doing!
Thanks for the sub! And welcome! Happy you found us. Definitely harvest season right now, and we're trying to post a new video every day. Tomorrow harvest video, will probably be the broccoli 💚
I dehydrated some of my lettuce and turned it into a powder. It has more nutrition than store bought. This way I can just add some nutritional goodness to my foods and it didn’t go to waste. I planted way too much lettuce this year as well.
@@1870s I just got a Eureka moment and found a really cheap solution . I just poured some urine over the snail and that irritated it so much that it it started to foamy convulse . Later today I will check it out and see if its still there . I will now use a spray it around the common area , collect some slugs and see if I have found if the organic way is the environmental solution , I will let you know the outcome
Well now, you cracked me up with this one. Did you use human urine, or something from an animal? Keep us posted, and let us know what you learn about this. 😀
@@1870s Try chopping the lettuce small in a blender and freezing it in ziplock bags . In the winter months you can thicken soups and stews with it if you add it in the last ten minutes or so. You can also make lettuce soup in winter I'm sure there are recipes if you research it.
I have never heard of the Lettuce powder that some people are talking about in the comments section ?? What is it & how would you use it. Rachel Great Harvest !! Cheers Denise - Australia
Can't wait to see what you do with your broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts leaves. I'm collecting mine now to have ready when you post your video!!
Love that mobile station your husband made...neat idea! Nice harvest! Look at those strawberries! I am interested in how you will preserve and/or prepare all this.
I was glad you spoke about watering. I was wondering how often per week to water. I’m in Tulsa and we are usually in the upper 90’s, low 100’s through summer with heat indexes well in excess of that. Love your informative videos. Thank you.
I wonder if on the days it is really hot if you could lay tea towels (linen or cheesecloth maybe) on the bottom and top of extra greens if your harvest station would work as a dehydrator?
Haha- I was going to ask what you were doing with so much salad greens 🤣. I have about 5 mixed lettuce plants and that is more than enough for my family- mind you, they don’t love salad
What kind of strawberry plants do you grow? They are large like store bought ones. Mine are teeny, about the size of my ring finger nail. Taste good, but so tiny. Lol
If you remember I told you you I'd be praying for you to have a bountiful harvest season Rachel. Wow, you go girl, you are rocking my prayers. That is a lot of salad, but it takes a lot of it to make a really good meal. You can clean it then put it in the crisper, do a layer then add a damp cloth over each layer they will keep a bit longer hun, that's what I did at a restaurant I was lead Chef at in Fernandina Beach, Fla..
I am having a similar problem with my lettuce. There is only so much salad my husband and I can eat lol. There really is not way to preserve it is there?
Oh my all that lettuce. If I were close I would gladly buy it from you!!! WOW!!
Your garden is wonderful! Thank goodness for that very handy box, that would a lot of trips back to the house with a basket.
Yes it's been a wonderful addition, Todd made it for me for mother's day
I take bags of lettuce around the neighborhood and give them away. It's a wonderful way to meet new people.
Oh our neighbors get their fill by the end of the season they are honestly hiding from us
BLESSINGS
to you as well Carolyn
wow what and awesome harvest
Yes, thank you
Thanks Rachel & Todd., Todd you are a Amazing husband 5-10-2022♥️
Awesome , you have your work cut out for you in the kitchen :) . Love the birds singing in the background .
Always!
I would love a harvest station!!
I could just come out Bd totally enjoy your gorgeous garden Bd property. Congrats on harvest!
Greens and berries. Get the peas tomorrow
Awesome, sounds like we are on schedule with each other.

It'll be here before you know it!
dehydrate the lettuce and turn into a greens powder for smoothies.
Yes it's a good use for them, we just don't make smoothies, now that the kids are gone
wowzers!! So much goodness.
So good!
If you or someone you know has chickens feed the extra greens to them. Better to have too much than not enough right?
We have lots of chickens😉
Very new subscriber here and I'm already looking forward to your new videos lol. I still have a lot of older ones to watch. Keep 'em coming.
Everyday while we can!
How close did you plant your cabbage?
18 inches
I appreciate that you always respond. I've been enjoying going through your older videos. May your garden be blessed with abundance this year.

I'm not sure
The food bank always takes my extra lettuce and is very appreciative.
I'm thankful to have met new neighbors from my give away this week ❤️
Wow! I love when the hard work starts paying off! Of course, it brings another type of hard work which is also rewarding! Introduced my granddaughter to fresh green beans in the garden yesterday and she got the first blackberry too! Thanks Ms. Rachael for taking us along!
So exciting when you can get kids in the garden and get them excited and educated to where their food comes from. Well done grandma!

Like ALOT

@@1870s 😁
We don't have a hose or outside spicket or even a sink so we have to carry buckets and watering cans about 1/2-3/4 of an acre away from the house daily. I like the exercise sometimes lol
We have to connect 3 different hoses together, to reach our garden. And remember where it is everytime we mow the grass so it doesn't get destroyed 😋
@@1870s lol I wish we had that problem. I am going to try to get an outside spicket put in but we can't afford a lot right now
At least if you have extra salad greens like lettuce the chickens would have a feild day with any leftovers
Yes they get all the left overs
Have you ever made wilted lettuce
I haven't but I will look up a recipe now and see if it sounds tastey
As an 8 yr mgr of a local food pantry, we would love to have someone donate fresh produce! You might check in your area.....

Might I suggest churches have free tables. Or give out food pantries.
great video bro
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video thank y’all for sharing .
You bet! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I am considering it, I just find dehydrating oddly exhausting for some reason, lol
It goes fairly quick for lettuce
Tegan Fehr yes it does!
What do you use Lettuce Powder for please as I have never herd of it here in Australia. Cheers Denise
wow thats an incredible harvest!!! great job!!
Thank you! Have a wonderful day
Do you eat the greens raw or cook them like collards?
Young broccoli and kale I will eat raw but the rest only cooked.
I did not realise that you are also affected by those slimey snails . We in UK are ate war with them at every turn , how do you deal with them
Soapy water spray bottle, and beer traps ruclips.net/video/cJbzoyMqfsA/видео.html
Also, squishing them when we find them 😑

That's amazing, momma. You did a great job hehe. Those onions look so HUGE on the back.
Thank you so much 🤗 Everything is growing so fast right now. I miss you 💚
HI DAN!!!! Miss seeing you!!! Kristy in Missouri ! Gonna make your chive oil this week!!!
WoW!! It looks amazing.. I might have to make that harvest station. Yep I love power tools. 😁..
Go for it!

They're all stashed in our garage fridge right now. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have time to process & film.
your garden looks amazing! I love your channel!
Thank you so much! We're happy you're here
Chickens would help you with all those leaves & they'd give you eggs in return!
Yes they get the left overs once we've had our best go at them :)

Any time
mom used to dry the extra lettuce leaves and add them to soups and recipes so it did not waste
I wonder if on the days it is really hot if you could lay tea towels (linen or cheesecloth maybe) on the bottom and top of extra greens if your harvest station would work as a dehydrator?
Maybe. We've tried some herbs on racks before, and this is basically a giant rack - so I'm sure it'd work out well.
Gorgeous strawberries!! 😍
When we have extra lettuce greens we dehydrate and blitz them to add to our greens powder supply.
❤ your channel
That's a great idea! Happy you're here with us ❤🍓💚
What do you mean by blitz them? A specific term or just expressing the volume of the moment?
@@DanielleBlanchardArts we run them through the blender until they become a powder.
Haha- I was going to ask what you were doing with so much salad greens 🤣. I have about 5 mixed lettuce plants and that is more than enough for my family- mind you, they don’t love salad
Last year was just a pitiful year with my salad greens so I had to make sure I had enough... I succeeded
What kind of strawberry plants do you grow? They are large like store bought ones. Mine are teeny, about the size of my ring finger nail. Taste good, but so tiny. Lol
They are June Bearing All-star
Do you juice or know someone who juices? When you juice you go through alot of greens. Love the vid and your garden looks awesome!
I don't but wish I did.

Okay so a question can you eat the Brussels Sprout leaves? Like roast them ? Wished I lived close I so be all over that lettuces such a great harvest!
yes you can roast them or wilt them like any collard or spinach green
I am having a similar problem with my lettuce. There is only so much salad my husband and I can eat lol. There really is not way to preserve it is there?
Yes alot of people dehydrate it and powder it and add to smoothies
Amazing. I would sure take some greens if you were closer. You are a little far from OK.
Probably be compost by the time they got to you. Weird how people don't want free food around here.
