I think that’s the best carrot harvest I’ve ever seen! Beautiful
Aren’t memories precious?
I'm so happy for you. Those are the biggest carrots I've ever seen grown. Great Job! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
My grandfather & grandmother had a huge garden each year. They had a cellar that had shelves on the walls for all the canned food. Also they had two twin beds down there for tornado season. Hanging
on the back wall was a picture of a beautiful baby girl. She passed away when she was a toddler. I suspect they put it down there because it was just too painful to look at each day. I adored my grandparents & miss them dearly. Your videos bring me joy each week & for that I’m grateful.
It is great that Dan is helping you.I hadn’t seen him out with you much before in the garden
Carrots look amazing. Love seeing the root cellar full of delicious food. Thank you for sharing
Love seeing you harvest and putting your harvest up
The sad cosmos really made me see that winter is just around the corner! What a successful harvest for you and your family!! ☺️🥕
Another great and educational video. Carrot 🥕🥕 harvest was such a great success. Nice to see Dan helping in the garden. Team work.
Looking forward to the next video.
Chelsea, you have the most glorious hair on RUclips! I've canceled Netflix because there is so much great content to watch. Especially yours Chelsea!! God bless you all ❤
I understand about cancelling things. When i retired i cancelled my cable because it cost too much and just kept the internet. I am so glad i did that as watching youtube has inspired me and taught me so many things. I never watched youtube before that.
What are some of the ways you preserve your carrots?
We are retired with no cable etc. only rabbit ears antenna. Local channels is all we need. We watch everything on RUclips 🙌🏼
@@AZJH8374 lol so what do you watch all week then? Chelsea does not post everyday and sometimes over a week? Do you just rewatch all her previous video’s? Re-read what you just said here. Did you cancel Netflix because it all most 20 dollars a month?
Your carrots were WOW. Beautiful harvest this season.❤❤❤
I’m so glad you are feeling better! You certainly had a great carrot harvest! ❤
You never cease to amaze me at how much stamina you have, even after not quite getting over a cold. Amazing!
I really love your harvesting videos and I love seeing the masses of produce in the root cellar. What great gardening!
Why would your root cellar creep people out? I't's glorious! They should be so lucky to have that!!! You are glorious as well Chelsea ✨️ God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 💙 ❤️
Those carrots looked incredible.
I turned on today’s video and had to laugh because I have 16 pints of carrots in my Presto pressure canner. You are so great at posting frequent videos. I love your channel.
Oh my gosh…. You are in winter clothing..
Man it seems like the weather dropped cold over night
Awww I’m as sad as you are Chelsea.. I’m so grateful it’s still warm in Utah..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You had an amazing harvest all your HARD work paid off 🤟
What a tender sweet story of your grandfather made my heart happy!☀️
I’m not sure if it would help but Michelle from more then farmers stores carrots in plastic bags in the fridge long term. Just an idea for you. I loved being able to meet you on this s day. It meant the world to me to be able to introduce myself to you. So excited to be apart of the membership community.
Wonderful carrot harvest & great teamwork! Thanks for sharing the memories & knowledge! Blessings 🤗🇨🇦🌻
I freeze dry my carrot tops and use them like parsley and put them in my homemade dry ranch dressing mix.
I wondered if anyone did that. I read recently that you can eat tomato plant leaves, probably pepper plant leaves. Have you ever done that?
Carrots are one crop we haven't got the hang of yet on our Missouri homestead. After years, we finally got our second best crop this year, two grocery bags of finger sized carrots.
Love the potatoes and carrot harvest!! I find it makes me smile when you say you “pick” your carrots and potatoes. Here in south Texas we would say “dug” or “dig” root crops but never “picked”. Makes me smile!
I loved how your face lit up when you spoke about your grandparents. ❤
I have the same feelings about my maternal grandparents.
I loved them so much, I was just thinking about them tonight, before I saw your video. I miss them so much! They passed away about 20 years ago. But the great thing is that I live in their house. I could rent it after they went to a retirement apartment.
My elderly neighbours from across the street have known me since I was a little girl. My mom and aunt grew up in this house and married from this house.
My grandfather was a really good DIY'er. There are still many things in and around the house that he made. And I cherish that so much!
I have a huge flower garden, which I love tremendously.
I've been living here for 26 years now, and I hope I can live here until I die because I'm connected to this house with every fiber of my body and soul.
Sending love from the Netherlands. ❤
Carrots go to seed the first year if they are stressed from too much heat and the hairy roots are a sign that they have been left in the garden past their optimal growth or longer than necessary. Beautiful harvest!
I have my garden mostly for mental health. I really have just my bed bound I’ll husband and I now so it doesn’t help anyone in our home much but I love it and I give it all to neighbors and family but I would be a basket case without it. When I need a few minutes I go to my garden and work it out between my god and I.
I throughly enjoy you sweet young lady keep up the love you give your family and the thousands of strangers out in digital land. God Bless you and your family!! Prayers to you 😊
I enjoy watching your videos on harvesting your vegetables
Always love it when you and Dan are together in the videos!!!! Jean Colorado USA
My dad wore the same green work clothes, I loved them they got so soft after being washed constantly.
Your garden is full of life and beauty
I’m so envious of those delicious carrots! I’ve yet to master growing carrots in Texas - our weather just isn’t conducive.
Those are the most beautiful carrots I’ve ever seen.
I absolutely love your garden!! I tell everyone about your channel bc I know everyone else will love it too! Your voice is relaxing to listen too, your knowledge is on point! Keep up the great work!
I love to see your smile when you talk about your grandfather. It also made me smile to think about my grandparents. I did not like to take things down to the root cellar. But I loved them so much I went anyway.
The chickens are feasting !!!!❤
What an amazing garden!... I hope your husban buys you a hot rod truck!
I was told when they have little root hairs is because they needed to be picked sooner, and they were ready sooner
The carrots looked great. How wonderful that Dan was able to help you. 😊
FYI, for the carrots & horseradish, a good long term storage is simply shove them point down fully, in a in a tub of sand. (you could line your crates then add the sand. Another "old storage method" was to wrap each apple in big dry leaves, they would stay very well and less likely to "infect" their surrounding apples!!!
We have used a board with screws in it to make divots to drop some of the smaller seed that need spacing, like carrots and radishes. Less thinning that way. It is set with the screws about inch apart and for things like carrots that will grow two inches in diameter, we drop the seed in every other hole as well as offset the next row.
Green is my favorite color too . I like to wear green clothes and our house is sage green as is our living room and kitchen. Yay green
Hello, what a beautiful harvest! I love when something invokes a wonderful memory. I got to experience that after you told the story of your grandfather. My grandparents came over after the war to southern Alberta and their root cellar was in the middle of the kitchen. You would lift the door and walk down a ladder and shelves were built into the dirt. It also had salamanders that crawled around. I can remember the smell. I loved that farm even though it wasn't luxurious, it was and will always be one of my favourite places to think of. Thank you so much for sharing and have a lovely day.
Chelsea have you ever done anything with the carrot stalks? Carrot tops can be used in a variety of ways. You can stir them into soups, toss them with salad greens, use them in place of herbs, add them to veggie burgers, or blend them into smoothies or green juice.
Unbelievable carrots, great job!
I grew up on the Gulf coast of Florida so no root cellar but I can remember the smell of my grandmother’s root cellar in Virginia. I loved it and all the amazing food she canned😊
Chelsea and Becky at Acre Homestead do have the most glorious hair!
Yes, i agree that you need to get your feet in the dirt to reground yourself. It really helps
Glad your feeling better. Lots of carrots.
Really appreciate how you acknowledge all the things you want to get to, but ran out of time. I have gotten into gardening on larger and larger scales as I have moved to NH and my kids are off to college, yet I also work full time on a remote job and so I often don’t get to what I want to!
My grandfather always wore green work clothes too! His were forest green, and he wore them while farming. He also wore Stetson cowboy hats to shade him from the sun.
Green is my favorite color as well. The root Cellar looks quite packed this year. Last year was kinda bare. So glad your getting all stocked up. Those Carrots are humongous, way to go!
I garden barefoot also and I agree that it is a mental health boost.
Just love you channel hi from belfast n.ireland ❤
Grounding sheets are amazing. The first night we slept on ours we both and even the dog slept all night. That never happens. Excellent for pain too
Idea for your community/newsletter: storing/cellaring best practices regarding temps/humidity/air-flow/how to prevent mold or rot? In zone 6b, but basements get hecka damp and gross here near the Ohio River. TIA.
Sweet !
Haven't thought of the color in a very long time but my grandfather wore the same green work clothes I miss him.
When I was a kid we used to get our winter supply potatoes, carrots, and onions from a farm on Westham Island at the mouth of the Fraser. The room under the front steps was the closest we had to a root cellar but it worked mostly. Also used to get good potatoes from up at Ashcroft on the Thompson.
My lemon balm is quite invasive and grows almost waist high and seems to survive anything.
Have you ever tried Sweet Cicely? It's quite a pretty herb, licorice flavour and the stalks have a high sugar content, nice to stew with rhubarb. Can get 2 lots by cutting it right down after 1st growth. Seeds are nice, too. Self seeds.
Blessings!
Yes, Nature heals!
I remember those green pants and shirts lol… my Papa wore them too. I haven’t thought about that in years lol ❤
I would love to have a root cellar like yours
Hello! We are pulling into Victoria, BC in 2 hours! I would've loved nothing more than to meet you and see your setup!
My FIL - who lived from 1912 - 1989 - wore those same darkish green work clothes/pants & shirt. It was a brand name I'd forgotten about that so THX for reminding me of a pleasant memory! And an aside - Where is your ROO apron!!?? After you showed it to us a year or 2 ago we got the purple one and use it constantly while harvesting.
Those carrots just look amazing the wonky ones try using in a yummy carrot cake o bet they would be so sweet to use xx
My grandpa used a very similar color- we called it grandpa green!
Beautiful harvest ❤❤ I always enjoy watching you both harvesting together, I don't know but I love it.
I've read that mice hate the scent of mint. Maybe that has a little something to do with not having mice this year. 🤔🤔💕💕
I spent my day today prepping my carrots - 25 lbs from Azure standard- we freeze - my fingers are orange lol- but we have enough for the winter- tomorrow is 30 large stalks of celery followed by 20 lbs of leeks on sunday-(already did 20 lbs last month-we do use a ton of leeks-
we didn't grow any this year (it was just one of those crazy years) next year hopefully we will get everything into the ground - thank goodness we have many chest freezers - your harvest looks amazing
Sometimes if the carrots are left in the ground too long, they get those hairy roots. They also form, if there is too many nutrients in the ground, thus probably your manure Compost.
What a good harvest those apples look great
You might want to try piling a heavy heap of leaf mulch over your herbs and see if they will overwinter for you. I got it mine to survive -28 C in Idaho, fairly often. I just heaped my whole raised bed in leaves and oat straw, and secured it from the wind with some bird netting. I have to container garden exclusively now that I'm in Pueblo (rental) but I have such carrot envy now that I think I'm going to make a raised root bed next year.😅
I live in Plymouth Massachusetts. The Plymouth Plantation museum said that the Pilgrims stored their root veggies in dry sand boxes so that rodents would not be able to dig into the produce without being smothered by the cascading sand. Interesting that you can store yours in damp sand
The video I have been waiting for.
Enjoy your videos so much!
20:12 my LARGE city lot is .29. My garden is 17’x70’ and I get mixed responses about the size. Some people freak out about how big it is lol Some people are amazed at how much produce I grow in the amount of space I do. They imagine it must be at least the size of yours ❤
Nice😊
I just love your garden 🥰✨
WOW!!!!!!!
Already planning for next year's garden, bought garlic bulbs today and a package of West Coast Paprika seeds. First of many seed packs I'm sure. As soon as Christmas and New Year's Day are over, it's game on.
Though you weren't feeling well. I feel like once your hands got dirty. You totally got a 2nd/3rd wind. And I can relate
🥕WOW!
Huge amount
Now ya gotta bulk bake some carrot muffins
Please show us the fire cider also!
I think root cellars are cool and basements. Here in Queensland Australia we don’t have either unless it’s a aftermarket build not common though. I have only seen 3 heritage buildings that have a basement and they are over 125 years old and open for tours. Love the odd carrot I buy them at shops when I see them as they are usually $2.00kilo cheaper to buy than the so-called normal ones.
Rooty carrots - I've read (and my experience is) that if they are growing in soil that is somewhat dry they send out extra little roots searching for moisture.
I came to look for this comment... I thought perhaps I waited too long to pull them out of the ground and they were getting old.
I hope you will show us how you make fire cider!
Hello to one of your Ladies wondering behind the apple tree . The wasps have been bad here , my husband and daughter have been stuns multiple times time this summer . I am anaphylactic to bee/wasps , I dint act any differently around them.
I hated my grandma's root cellar! They had snakes around and I was chicken!
Years ago I saw something about soil and Cystic Fibrosis. We need to get back to the earth. I know my asthma and allergies, are pretty much gone during gardening season. Which really shouldn't be that way. I think it's because I love to play in the dirt. And gardening is so physical, with all the digging, hauling, pulling of wagons full of manure. Who needs a gym. Breathing issues will not stop me from gardening. I'm stubborn that way.
Hairy roots are another indication of high nutrients and can also be from not enough water.
I learned on trick that helps with pulling carrots. If you first push down on the shoulders a bit it makes the carrots easier to pull and less likely to snap off. I did lose my recent crop of beets to some garment. They were fine two weeks ago. We went to Victoria for a week then waited a week. Yesterday I went to Ull those huge beets and the roots were eaten away from the inside. Not sure if it was from bugs or from critter. So disappointing.
Do you think you will participate in the pantry challenge again this winter?
Sometimes carrots have roots on them when they have been in the ground to long.
You need a gardening apron Chelsea ❤
I have often wondered why you do not take crates or boxes with you when you harvest so you do not need to handle produce twice
Just read that hairy carrots are looking for moisture. I had some hairy ones here in OH this year.
❤❤❤
