In other words, we want to show you that homesteading doesn't have to wear you out to the point that you give it up. We've seen it happen, and almost came to that point ourselves.

From a viewers perspective: We learn from your mistakes and/or failure, and I am very grateful that you choose to share and show them so I can learn too. Thank you to you both for showing the honest side. Also, those bugs were gross. Sending support, love, and kindness from Lexington, Michigan, USA
Thank you for that. It can be hard to share, but it helps to know that it's appreciated.
It is amazing to me that the people that complain about you putting broccoli on your porch, are the same people that go and buy vegetables and fruits that come from countries that grow it in sewers. They have no idea what they are eating. I will take your broccoli on the porch any day of the week over the crap in the grocery stores. They are just envious and jealous. Keep doing what you’re doing. We love the videos.❤️❤️
Agreed!!
I know right? My parents always put the produce on the ground (potatoes, onions, garlic) when they dug them. And when we ate them, we would wash them, of course.
Im ngl your channel has singlehandedly made me dream of my own homestead. Every time I watch your channel I am inspired.
I currently live in a woman’s shelter and I am trying eucalyptus and radishes 😂.
That’s so cool! I’m glad we can be an inspiration. Homesteading is all about doing what you can where you are.. So good job doing just that! Blessings on your journey.
you can garden anywhere you are land is nice but don't let that stop you keep it going. There is something healthy about gardening.
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and so happy I did. You two are a breath of fresh air in the homestead world. I really enjoy your content, and your videos. 😍
Thank you so much!
Yes, they are... Keep up the good work
Can we collectively make it trendy to put what growing zone you are in the description box? I follow so many gardening channels it’s hard to remember and keep them straight. We’re in zone 3/4 so I’d love to know if some of the varieties you’re growing are a realistic goal for us. Love your channel!
Will try to do that 😊 we’re in zone 6.
Don’t worry about rude comments I am sure those people leave in a 6th floor and get the food delivered to their flat thinking everything is clean when they regurgitate shyte everyday without knowing !!! Keep up the good work you are amazing 🤩
I know right 😏 Thanks!
For some people out there (like a couch specialists) throwing the butternut squash on the porch should be approved by the USDA...
You guys are awesome and a hard workers. GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS YOUR FAMILY!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!
Thanks 😏
What a abundance in your garden, hard work paid off. God bless you guys, beautiful family inside and out.
I agree.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Try infusing some vinegar with raspberries. Then make some vinaigrette dressing for your garden or pasta salads. So delicious!!! I used blueberries and also tarragon for vinegar this year and they’re both a hit.
Sounds great!
As a new viewer, I really appreciate you sharing your mistakes with us. We all make mistakes in the garden, and I love learning from others mistakes. Keep it up! Great content!
You're welcome, Joseph!
It’s funny if you took the knowledge that these 2 have, implanted it to every person in the world, then allowed everyone to farm a few acres, what a happy earth it would be.
Right on!
A quote someone told me I've held on to is "if you are green you are growing and if you are ripe you are rotting". It's meant to be an ideology of trying new things and experiencing the growing pains along the way rather than doing the same thing over and over and thinking you know everything. If you're gonna explore new things it's important to acknowledge and learn from mistakes, honestly if you weren't showing any mistakes ever I don't think I'd trust it.
Love it!!
My new favourite channel about farming 💚
Awww, thank you!
To preserve thyme, you can simply cut bunches and freeze them. Pull out a few sprigs to add to dishes as you need it, then just remove the stems. Surprisingly, they keep their fresh picked flavor even when frozen. Not all herbs freeze well.
Great idea, thanks!
Have you tried this with cilantro? Just curious
@@cknlver No, I think it would be similar to parsley and would dry it instead.
@@nancyfielden270
Thank you!
I've dried it before, its seems to lose taste/flavor. I heard you can also blend cilantro with oil and freeze. I need to try hat too :)
@@cknlver Good to know. Herbs are tricky.
To get rid of the butter smell on your top lip, rub a little white vinegar or lemon juice on your top lip, then wash off with regular soap/cleanser.
Thanks 😁
You might put your pesto in ziplocks,make it flat ,and in the freezer.Then you can just break off as big bits as you need,and they are easy to stack in the freezer when they are flat,and you save a little time compared to using the ice cube thing!Good luck with everything!!! Love from Sweden❤
Would love to know how you both met and what your childhood was like. You two are so good together 😊
We’ll try to get some of that in a video sometime.. Maybe a live.
I've enjoyed this so much. You bring back memories for me. I grew up on a little farm. We raised everything only time we went to town what to get sugar flour insult. We raised everything. I'm 72 years old. Thank you your friend from Stuttgart Arkansas God bless you and your family
Glad you enjoyed it!
For Powdery Mildew: 1-2 Tbsps. of Baking Soda, a few drops of dish soap mixed into a gallon of water, spray and you'll never have mildew.
Thanks for the info!
Wow, glad all your hard work paid off with the bountiful harvest. Must say the Raspberries looked really awesome. The jam looked delicious as well.
every one of your videos makes me smile and happy. Thank you for your great work and the knowledge you give us. Learning from you has brought me so much further, my grandchildren are now happy to help and the youngest one always wants to see your videos. You are a great family, God bless you.
So glad we can make you smile! And I love it that the children watch too. Blessings ❤️
Me too! I found you guys a few months ago and love how hard they work ! Love your videos! You are my favourite farmers to watch! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much! Glad you're here!
You can cook corn with leaves on especially baking keeps moist and extra sweet
Put a small cup of vinegar out near the raspberries and verify that the little worms are not fruit fly larva. If you catch fruit flies in the vinegar, put some traps out.
Thank you so much for choosing to share all of the things that go wrong in the garden. It is what makes your videos so valuable.
In South Korea they put paper underneath potatoes or sweet potatoes while they are drying them such as newspaper so they soak up the moist and they need some sort of air circulation turning fan on for some time near them might help and have a dehumidifier in the room and turn it on while drying crops you harvested drying them for a week might be enough😊
Great video! You guys put together great content. Thank you for your time. 🙂
You're very welcome ❤️
I’m in Ohio as well and when I plant my squash the secret too not having the squash bugs are planting marigolds between each plant I haven’t had any problems since it’s the strong smell
Watched your RUclips video for the first time & learned more in twenty minutes than watching other channels for months. You guys are awesome thanks for all your hard work and dedication.
Awesome! Thank you! Very high compliment 😊
Once you pick the berries mix 1 tablespoon of salt with 1 cup of water and submerge your raspberries for at least 15 minutes before draining them off and eating them. This will draw out the worms and kill them too.
Does the salt affect the taste?
@@CelticStoic no not at all. just rinse them after the soak
Love harvest time!! Y'all are adorable. Great job on the garden.
Don't be too hard on yourself about the potatoes and virus. It's part of the learning experience, and part of the adventure. Can you cut the bumps off and cook the potatoes?
Also, what state are you guys in? I'd love to have a homestead op like you guys. It's inspiring to see, and definitely the type of life I"m fighting for. I'm making some tentative plans to acquire some land in the next couple years. Been thinking a lot about northwest Neb, south WY, or AZ, maybe even north AZ.
Yes, we're using them! We're in Ohio.
This is giving me dreams. The raspberries 😍
Also, 7:45, the comment. You are my kind of people 🥰
😁😁
BTW, love a person who isn't afraid to go bare foot!
I loved seeing your harvest. Just one thing - I feel you should bend your knees and hold your crates close to your bodies when lifting or placing them down to avoid injuring your backs.
I agree 100%! I've been gardening for more than 40 years and I still curse myself for the first 20 years or so when I bent at the waist instead of at the knees. Paying the price for that!
I use wire shelving on the porch for my garden veggies. It works out really well for curing and also ripening tomatoes. Looks like they would work out nicely for your porch too
Good sweet corn can be eaten right out of the garden. If you haven't tried it, you should.
Another way to tell if corn is ready is it will push out from the stalk to like a 45 degree angle. Save the silk and make a tea with it! Really good for blood pressure and inflimation
Thanks for sharing! 😁
If you put a fence around your garden then you can get a few runner ducks to put in there and they would eat all of the slugs and bugs but they would leave your plants and veggies alone.
I just love your channel! Every one of your videos I have watched has inspired me and has taught me something new! Thank you for sharing! I’m a teacher and when I/we make mistakes I say, “I’m here all day guys! Making mistakes and learning!” I teach my students to have the same philosophy! It’s how we get better! Thank you for sharing it all! ☀️🙏🏼🤗 🥔
Love it 😊
You are just the most beautiful family. I pray you stay strong, healthy, happy, and always prosper. ❤❤❤
Thank you ☺️
Didn't hear you say anything about the sweet potato leaves....you may want to. Nutrition, chicken feed, deliciousness. Use it like lettuce on a sandwich, a salad or stir fry. YuM!
củ hành tây ngon quá, chúc bạn vui vẻ. tôi đến từ Việt Nam
Welcome here!
Lmao not going to lie man that’s the weirdest sweet corn complaint I’ve ever heard 🤣
😁😁
New sub from Texas! Lisa Bass sent me❤xo
Awesome! Glad you're here!
I dont know how i land on your channel but man you guyzzz are good. Right now i dont i have watched almost all your vds. Keep the good work. May Allah protect you and your family ❤❤
Thank you 😊
Please let me know what time your live show is? I have been watching your clips all day. Love gardening, and i am a small resort owner, 80 miles south of the Canadian border, in northern Minnesota.
Welcome! We post when we’re gonna do a live video a day two before it happens.
What a shame you didn’t plant your sprouted onions in the flower garden. The put up beautiful flowers and then you would get seeds.
Interesting idea!
Raspberry wine is to die for and very easy
Ohhh Maaan! Your video was too short ! I want more, more, more ! Well done BTW:)
Thank you 😁
So happy every time I see a new video ❤❤❤
Such abundance, top with hard work but come winter you will be so happy enjoying the fruits of the summer. Those bugs are definitly nasty. Luckily in my country we don't seem to have this problem. Maybe set up some movable netting around the beds and let the chickens have some fun.
Loving your videos. Really invaluable advice, thanks very much.
Oh my god I love corn 🌽 with mayonnaise cheese and hot salsa is delicious.
I grew up doing this stuff on the farm. My dad grew everything.. we were never hungry. I was something we HAD to do to live. We had acres and acres of stuff. We had 40 acres and grew food on over half of it. To this day I do t want a garden of anything. I enjoy watching y’all though. The only fruit my mom canned was the blackberries and peaches. She made jelly from them.
Love it!!
Oh oh, I put my veggies on the porch too. Never thought anything of it, that's a great reason to have a porch I thought? That looks like a fair garden haul, less cash out of pocket for overpriced groceries is always good.
I just found your channel, you both are fantastic. I don't have ice cube trays either so I use muffin tins for my pesto. (basil and garlic scape)
I have been binge watching your videos. A lot of information. I like that you both work together and that you both are partners in the tasks needed. I wonder if you have a harvest to table cookbook/menu. And second waterbath & pressure canning info videos. I don't have someone to call for quick questions. Still a work in progress. Keep videosing. I appreciate your time and effort. Have a great day! 🌻
Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel! No cookbooks. Between cooking the food and eating it, we don't have time to write about it. 😜
good job on garden;;;lol;;;brings me back to growing up on the farm;;lol;;;we had tables homemade about 4x8' frame on legs with dividers for different size and color of picked maters the frame was covered with chicken wire and tacked to bottom of braces and and frame;;;we also had stacked 2x8' frames with chicken wire to dry onions and garlic;;;these frames were easy to move from one spot to another and worked great;;;the 4x8 frame was for sorting maters for market as we had from 4 to 6 acres in maters;;planted determinate varity so maters were feast of famine harvesting all day everyday till they done;;;
I love your Chanel ❤your videos makes my day ❤they are very relaxing.❤Thank you❤
You're welcome 🤗
If you want persevere in the winter u can hang it in the basement . ( I mean onions )
That’s a tomatoes I look for in the farmers markets
Your channel is becoming my favorite!!! Thank you!
Awesome!
Just found your channel you both inspired me when I'm watching . I get excited to plant more whenever I watch.
Love it!!
You need a freeze dryer machine. Game changer for us! Saves on freezer space and better than canning.
Maybe someday!
I cure my potatoes outside just like onions and garlic.
If they’re in the sun they’ll get green spots 🤷🏻♂️
@@morethanfarmers Very true. I cure my potatoes in the garage. Onions I put on screens in the sun. Garlic...lay out on a shelf in garage. Thanks for correcting me.
@@5GreenAcres Right on 😊
I think the Covington sweet potatoes taste the best. I dug a huge wheelbarrow full of sweet potatoes out of my clay last year. I took me three days to get them out of my clay soil, but I had a great harvest. I wrap mine in paper that is sold to for packing things to move. It's cheap and easy to get a Walmart. They kept for over seven months that way.
That's awesome!!
Learn so much from you. You are more than farmers!
Wonderful video as always. Great harvest thanks for sharing.
Yes you can eat the leaves, but just the young leaves, or sweet potato tops, the old leaves are bitter, you can also put them in soups or stews.
I like to experiment in the garden and have been trying to grow some butternut squash despite the number of days required (I have 90 - 100 frost free days). I did manage to get some fruit, but they did not ripen on the vine. With nothing to loose because the frost was coming, I picked them (I twist them off as there is less surface area to dry and allow bacteria in vs cutting) and put in the house in my sunny living room. Every one ripened save one but it was a very young squash and are keeping very well. I have discovered that how far along any squash is in the growth will affect whether they will ripen or not. BTW, my onions are spread on the deck and the squash are put all over my living room hardwood floor...lol. Interesting video!
Wow, that’s a short growing season! Way to make the most of it.
@@morethanfarmers Sometimes get longer but on average it is short. I push some 110 day varieties but otherwise short season varieties. Still, from about 5000 sq ft, I harvested around 2500 pounds of produce...lol.
It's snowing right now and I'm folding laundry getting my table ready for seeds!
It pays to buy certified seed potatoes. Some experienced growers will save seed potatoes from the certified for one year only. They will buy certified seed again for the third year. The infected taters that you have now can be pressure canned or dehydrated. The dehydrated slices can be used to make delicious scalloped and au gratin potatoes. I appreciate you and love your channel.
Thanks! We buy new certified seed potatoes every year 😕
My onions and potatoes still sprout no matter where I put them. I live in a condo and grow in grow bags so not huge amount. But I don't want to lose them all. I try to keep them in the garage still SPROUT 😂😂😂.
Have you tried covering them so they don't get ANY light? Light is the worst.
No light in the garage
Definitely best channel EVER!
Well thank you 😊
I'm telling you spray those squash bugs with dawn dish soap water mix
You are awesome and true Homesteaders and are on the right track to being the cream-of-the-crop ...with all of your growing information, variety names and garden processes along the way. I love potatoes !!! , thanks for sharing this ! Thanks for real information and research to help us all. Sometimes, we learn the hard way... and will persevere ever-after. Lovely corn !!! Keep on doing what you are doing !!, love it.
Thank you so much 😊
I would feed the sweet potato leaves to the animals myself!
I look forward to your videos. Love all the tidbits of information.
I wish you wouldn't have mentioned the Broccoli/Instagram thing... now I'm about to be late to work reading all that stupidity! 😂😂😂
😂😂
Everything you talk about moves so fast and smooth and is exceptionally interesting .
We enjoy butternut squash. I cut one in half, scrape seed and “guts” out, tbs. Of butter few grains salt to make sweeter, some brown sugar and nuke in microwave till tender. Half apiece for each of us and we really enjoy. If it is a good size it can be whole lunch for us seniors.
Sounds delish!
You have great educational videos.
these have officially become my favorite videos
Did you know if you had ducks they will eat only your bugs, as chickens will eat your bugs and plant. I think it’s awesome you show the bugs cause it’s real farming. Good video❤😊 I thought your suppose to harvest potatoes when leaves are dry? 😁
We’ve had ducks before.. they all got killed 🥴 You do wait to harvest potatoes until the plants are dead, but sweet potatoes can be sooner.
Sweet potato leaves are unlikely to trigger gout. It even help to lower uric acid levels unlike spinach.
❤ thank you for your great quality of homesteading from your awesome garden recipe ideas to the care of your family and your animals.
I know its a lot of hard work to have the you tube channel but I hope it pays off for you soon.
You're helping many people succeed in their homestead experience.

Thank you so much, and you’re very welcome 😊
hello my brother greetings good morning
I'm learning a lot for a 64 yrs old lady , My mother in law was German / Irish and she canned and freeze everything . She made the best sweet corn , Pumpkin bread i have ever tasted . I live surrounded by Amish Farms ,so it's easier for me to buy home grown veggies and fruits from local farms . It's a Win Win for me, but i do have apple ,plum ,cherrie and peaches trees . And grow pumpkins mostly for my grandkids Halloween decor ,okra , tomatoes ,peppers ,strawberries ,raspberries and flower garden for hummingbirds ,butterflies ,birds and bees .
That’s really awesome!!
i just mix baking soda with water and spray that on the mildew as soon as it starts showing. you have to do that every 2 weeks or so. it works really well.
You probably know this, but diluted milk is an excellent remedy for squash plants which are showing signs of insects and fungus. Use as a foliar spray. (1/20- I sometimes use it less diluted. Can be fermented or whey)
A good way to know when corn is ready to pick is when the end of the cobb is blunt. Pointy ends mean the cobb isn't ready to harvest.
I don't consider my onions dry until ALL the green is brown. I have onions left from last year!!!! Same with garlic. It takes about a month to dry all of my onions. Same thing with garlic. Just used the last of my last years garlic and my this year is in my basket. Great content!!!!!
That’s way cool!
❤❤❤beautiful harvest ....thanks for sharing ....love from maui ...
Sending you a golden pineapple 🍍 kiss🎉
Welcome here ❤️
Yes, Brandysears3546 said it best. I also learn from your successes as well as what you state as your "failures.' Your channel is so enjoyable and it's real and a delightful change. Keep up doing what you do, and thank you again. Once day, God willing we too will have a lovely little homestead. 🦋
Thank you 😊 I hope you will!
Lovely groceries
VERY GOOD HARVARD 👍
some clean vegies with salt to take out the worms. Or baking soda or vinegar to clean them too.
You all need to use a dolli to haul your crates
Thanks for sharing - just discovered you and subscribed. I appreciate you sharing about bugs and mildew and such so I can learn too.😊
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the channel!
Cody and Michelle your harvest looks amazing.
As for your potato experience...I have also had that result using seed Yukon gold. Now I buy bagged Yukon gold at the grocery store and let them sit until "eyes" start to grow. I then cut the sections with eyes into pieces leaving an eye or two on each piece and let each piece dry for a day or two before planting. This has produced a better crop.of Yukon gold potatoes for us.
Happy Harvesting!!! Love and blessings.

Super interesting!
