Today in the garden we are bending the neck of our onions to prepare them for harvest and then curing and storing for the winter. All of the children help me get this job done quickly. I then spend the rest of the day working on preserving our zucchini, squash, and cabbage harvests. I am trying 2 new methods of preservation today. I am making zucchini and squash chips in the freeze dryer and learning how to store cabbage in the root cellar. I am really hoping both of these methods work bc they are both so simple and quick.

You are building such a lovely life--loving and caring for seven kids plus a huge house and huge garden and all the food preservation, educating and everything else you do. It's truly amazing.
I absolutely adore your videos. Your children are so lucky to have a mother that nurtures and teaches them how to garden and appreciate things. I dont know how to express how much I love your videos. I'm a 53yr old woman and would love to have you as my mother.
I know you have gone through alot of hardships over thr past 2yrs or so and I just want to tell you how much you mean to your subscribers. We adore you and your family xxx
Amen!
I have the best community of subscribers and supporters!!! Really! Y’all are the kindest, most encouraging folks on the internet!
I am happy your girls get to have their own special time. I am saying that in a supportive way to the girls. No mean. Seriously. I think you are a wonderful Mom.
🤗
Exactly.
The jobs of a momma, a homestead, homeschool momma specifically, are so demanding. Hats off Bri for your deep patience & steadfastness. Every time I feel like giving up, I think of your graciousness & loving approach to life.
Yes!! If Bri can do it we all can too❤️🙏
I found 3 things about having a swimming pool. 1. The kids started bugging me to let them swim about mothers day. But I let them swim on Memorial Day. It was still COLD lol. 2. By the end of July; they were over it. 3. By having one of the few pools in their friend group; their friends were always over to my house. I got to know them and could always know who and what was going on in my kids lives. Especially great as they got into high school.
2 of my kids have Summer birthdays, a pool party is cheap, easy and popular, even teens want pool parties!
Yes 🙌 ! Having a pool all their friends would come over and I knew where they were!❤❤❤❤
Girl I get tired just watching your videos 😂 I don’t know how u keep up with everything but you do. You’re a wonderful Mother ❤
It's nice your girls can go to camp, they will have a great time. Truly is so cute pushing out her pacifier. Your patience and kindness is an example to all of us
Your kids are so prepared to help you! Thank you kids for yelping your Mama! She loves you beyond your imagination! Thank you Mama, for testing the kids on their abilities. They learn what you teach them! Wishing you the best fot the rest of the season!
I went thru a very similar situation that ended in divorce. It broke me. BUT God is a redeemer!! He heals and provides!! I to worked very hard and rebuilt our lives! We find out how strong we actually are!! My babies are grown now and turned out awesome!! Some of the hardest work I ever did, yet so rewarding, was raising and loving them!! You are blessed Momma!
Yay! What a wonderful story of redemption!
Truly and Royal are getting so big.
Bri I envy you for what you do for your family. Absolutely love your channel. ❤ Its so educational in all aspects of how to live and love.
God Bless you and your family 😊❤
I just can NOT believe how big the twins are...they are so sweet! As is all of your kids...what a sweet family!
You are an amazing lady Bri. You are so strong. I hope to be more like you. Brave, resilient, and most importantly a very patient mom.
Love the sweet sound of your voices singing praise to our Lord ♡
I'm so proud of you to moved on and raised your children alone....You're a hard working Godly woman.
Have you ever made Cabbage steaks...
Cut them an inch or so thick..Put on baking sheet.
Drizzle EVO, salt pepper, add cheese, bacon bits, spices, sun dried tomatoes etc
Whatever you like, then bake until cabbage is done.. Yum
Yummmmm, that sounds so delicious❤
What degree oven? How long? Sounds wonderful
Mommas singing to their babies- nothing sweeter! What a beautiful voice! Could listen to you sing on and on.
Tip for those with migraines and love onions, eat fresh onions, or when you grow your onions do not dry them, harvest them fresh and wet and cut and freeze them. Tyramine in onions and aged foods are a migraine trigger. A trigger doesn’t give you a migraine every time because the brain makes migraines at a threshold. Various things are triggers, let’s say your threshold is 5 triggers, so one day you are tired, it’s hot, you are about to start your period, you eat an aged cheese onion soup and bam migraine. But on a well rested stress free day you can eat more freely with no migraine. ❤
Hmm, as someone who has suffered with migraines for almost three decades this is so true. I have hemiplegic migraines too so that is no fun.
@@servantwarrior880I’m so sorry! I’ve got mine under control with the migraine diet…except the 2-3 days before my period, the hormones are too strong most months. My husband’s migraines are completely gone, he used to get one a week.
@@cjdflkjave You tried ibuprofen? It is an anti prostaglandin and it may help. Start taking it 2 or 3 days before you expect your period.
I loved the twins waving goodbye while the rode off into the sunset! They're getting so grown up, but still adorable! ☺
Bri- I understand how you feel about motivation..I struggle to with the tasks I don’t enjoy! Your doing such an amazing job with the kids, home, garden, and all the other things needed to raise a big family…and doing it by yourself…impressed! You deserve to take time for yourself..don’t forget to do that! Love that the girls get some fun time too, they are so very helpful and I know all the life changes they have gone through lately is hard on them too. Your family is absolutely precious! Sending you much love and wishing you all of Gods abundant blessings❤️🙏🙏…Edit…your garden is absolutely jamming…Unbelievable for a first year bed!
Cabbage dies freeze very well. Just don’t defrost it. Use it straight into boiling water or stews but not for salad
I didn’t know that..been growing it for years! Thanks for that tip!❤
6:43 oh my goodness I haven’t heard this song in years! We sang that song in middle school choir- but in German. Still one of my favorite lullabies.
I am so happy u r teaching us how to do onions and cabbage I never did this
Love your channel. Blessings to you, your beautiful children and family, and your amazing garden. Thank you.
Debbie here, 👩🌾. Thanks for showing us how to store cabbage…
Beautiful children, beautiful video. I feel so blessed you are sharing your journey and you are an inspiration to women. Hey, you Got This! Hugs Bri❤
Making lovely memories with your children!
I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Thank you!
Hi Bri, I freeze cabbage. I remove the outer leaves as you do and cut in quarters removing the core. I slice into about 1/2 inch sections or 1 inches is ok. I stuff into quarter size labeled freezer bags for 2 people. I use in soups, stews, braises or fry up with bacon and potatoes. Perfect! Hope this helps.
I have also read you can freeze a whole cabbage head and peel off each leaf and use for stuffed cabbage rolls. I have not tried this method. We love stuffed cabbage rolls but I boil each cabbage leaf and stuff which is very labor intensive.
Hope this helps!
Never knew you could freeze cabbage till Bri mentioned it and reading your comment. Thank you for the tip. I guess one is not too old to learn and I know one never stops learning no matter what age you are. What is nice is I am 65 years old and have learnt something new which I now can pass onto my children. Thankyou Bri and Susanclark7872. I then can presume you can do this with red cabbage too. Have a lovely day.
Oh my, the twins are growing so much!! That was adorable with the smoothie handoff to brother.
I didn't mean to give you a thumbs down I hit it by accident I love watching you and your family.
You can hit it again and it goes off.
Your garden harvest is amazing!
Here’s a tip for using zucchini. Grate it to cook in taco meat, sloppy Joe meat, spaghetti, or meatloaf. When it’s cooked grated you really can’t taste it!
Watching you work with your cabbages, made me really hungry for fried cabbage, onions and butter. (Small head of cabbage, small onion). It is a sweet side dish.
Bri, what a pretty voice you have.
I loved your little lullaby, I wish you would sing very video, you have a beautiful voice!
❤wow Bri your onions look great. Everything you grew did great.
Beautiful family 😅🎉❤!
You’re a busy lady! Your family is so cute!
Probably the best idea you have had, is buying your own pool. We have a pool in the backyard and they love it!
It is great that the older children can and do help with the toddlers. It can be overwhelming at times but it seems as though you all seem to pitch in when the separate task present themselves. Beth was only 4 and 1/2 years younger than I. But when I left for college I know she was a big help with my Surprise Brother. There is almost 15 years in age difference between he and I. I thought it was remarkable that mother could keep up with my brother Chris at 36. But she did have my sisters help.
How cute at the end! I always enjoy your vids! ALWAYS!
Hello Bri and family 👪 ❤ Just letting you know I am impressed with your resilience . Glenda from Far North Queensland Kuranda.
That's such a cool pop up tent thing and I know the kids are gonna love that jungle gym❤
When making squash and zucchini chips you can season before freeze drying with many options- ranch, bbq rub, dill seasonings, cheese seasonings like used on popcorns. Any flavored powdered mix or spice mix you can think of that you might like can be done. My friend did a cheddar and. sour cream on zucchini and her kids loved it.
Great tip!❤
Beautiful dinner! Fresh!
Bri, You are an amazing young woman, God Bless 😇🥰
The roasted zucchini looks delicious.
Hi Bri😊can’t believe the twins are walking and talking❤️
hey i hope you have a good week
Your girls are truly precious gifts ❣️😘
You do a great job with your kids! I love learning all of the gardening tips from you.
Some really got advice especially about the cabbages.
I freeze grated zucchini and squash, easy to add to pasta sauce, stews, cakes.
Hello Bri and family! You may want to get some reflectix to stick in the window frames of your root cellar to block out the light. Just a thought.😊🌻🌿
Hey Bri, you’re doing such an amazing job in this new garden! Wow! Quick suggestion with the squash and zucchini, I’ve been seeing quite a few folks with freeze driers use their spiralizers (sp?) on them before freezing and it makes great zucchini bread. Just a thought if your kids don’t like it much other ways and it’s easier than grating. Xoxox
Lovely video! Thank you so much Bri and family xxx
I plan to store a few cabbages with their roots in peat moss in my cool dark basement. I’ll be watching to see how your method works too.
Ooohhhh! I will try that one as well!
Thank you for sharing about the wrapping the cabbage. I didn’t grow them so I’ve been getting from the farmers market and wrapping them like you showed. I also put the date on the bottoms so I remember when I wrapped them.
Thank you 😊
Another idea for cabbage...Ruthanne Zimmerman on her channel cans it in a vinegar base to make coleslaw.
Well that was a wonderful video and you give me so many ideas. The dinner plate looks mouth watering and how satisfying as well right fresh picked. hugs
Thank you for sharing. Take care of you too!
You DO live an entire lifetime each day! What a full day, exhausting and rewarding.
I watched twice , this vlog.
It sure is an awful lot to keep fitting in a day! 💚
Loved the video!! You get so much accomplished. The kids are very sweet ❤
Your children just keep getting prettier/more handsome the older they get.
You have such an amazing group of helpers! ❤❤
I found a recipe for canning coleslaw. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds good.
I’m learning a lot ! Thanks.
My grandmother buried her cabbages, she lived in the NC mountains.
I have always wanted to try that.
Wonderful way of preserving ‼️ Wilder is really upbeat when it comes to work in the garden. It’s always enjoyable and encouraging to watch your videos. .
The children do so much chores. God bless them all.
Aw, I love the part of this video where you are singing to Truly while holding her. That is precious.
I used to put my veggies and apples on a layer of wheat straw then cover with more then another layer of veggies and so forth. I suggest you cover those vents with plastic or whatever and then use a dehumidifier. Moisture and heat are not your friend when storing.
It isn’t hot down there and from my understanding some moisture is good. Ventilation is actually necessary to maintain air flow and to keep mold from growing. This crawlspace is very dry.
Maybe you. Old put a dark cloth over the vents to keep a lot of the light out, but keep the air flowing through?
Beautiful onions!!
What a great idea for the cabbage preservation! I learned something new today! Thank you 😊
I've also seen people freeze dry cabbage for soups and casserole.
Bravo on your experiments in the root cellar! Awesome!
Convinced me I need a pool.
Great Harvest 🌱
If there's a Farmer's Market nearby, or maybe a CSA, you could probably get strawberries for much cheaper and then freeze or freeze dry them. Just a thought. I think it would be great content to show people how to buy from local farmers to help add to your food stores. Many people don't think to buy in bulk from local farmers to can, freeze, dry, freeze dry, etc.
Where I live, local farmers are not cheaper. However, buying bulk from azure is. I know folks that have amish and mennonite farms around them can get amazing deals on produce, but we do not have that here.
Ha!
Our farmers market and strawberry farm fresh stands have the mind set they should skip the middle man and charge double. Definitely not cheaper.
Danya
@@Brifromscratch Wow, that's sad!
So fun to watch all that you do. We have really enjoyed our freeze dryer and it is worth it.
When I was young and had a big garden I remember it was
"bend the necks by patting the greens down with a broom." They will bend without cracking. Give them a week or two (weather) for the greens to ripen back and harvest.
Enjoyed the video
Such a heartwarming video as always! I had not known of the plastic wrap method of preserving cabbage...now I'm curious!
Omg I just got the same cutting board as you😂😂had no idea great minds think alike lol
god bless you Bri
You singing to Lou Lou really touched my heart. You are such an amazing superwoman of a mom! I hope to meet you one day I live in Upstate SC so not far from you.
God bless you all for sharing your journeys.
Thanks for sharing. I love your vlogs! Bless you
Our swimming pool was a great motivator for our kids as well. They would initiate chores on their own!
I didn’t know about bending over the onions. First time growing them, thank you!
Awesome video.
Having the same issues today. So much to get harvested and preserved and so little motivation today. My book keeps calling my name.
I shred cabbage, blanch it, ice water, drain and freeze it. I love the convenience. Sour krout is the other way I preserve it. I learned fermenting from your family farm a number of years back.
Amazing garden tips & harvest & preserving tips! Lovely family💕 Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
Love watching you all. You never fail to make me smile. Sending you much 💕 from. NH
I love your kids Bri!
Me and my wife are curious about what you do for a living. You have to pay your bills somehow right. My wife and I have eight children we both almost to have to work two jobs. Have fun
❤thank you Bri for the cabbage ideas,I will freeze it.Wasnt sure I could even do that Another great video🩷🙏
