    I love buying damask napkins or table clothes or whatever and cutting them up and sewing them to make drawer sachets using lavender from the garden. I loved the sound of the birds in the background. I hope you’re feeling better 🙂

    I always find your harvest videos inspiring. I am in Zone 5B in central Ontario, a few weeks behind you. It helps me look forward to what I will be harvesting soon! Also, it's good to know that a veteran gardener like you can still struggle with pests, it gives me hope that a novice like me isn't entirely responsible for the cucumber beetles and other pests that won't go away! It's not me, it's them... Thanks again for posting such a beautiful video. Your daughter with the chickens.... lovely...

    Capsicum I wish I keep trying but not having much luck glad you said about not harvesting too much at once I really wonder how some people do it I have silverbeet to pull but will have to wait till Friday now to have the time to get it in the dryer and finished in the day then I can get the bed ready for the tomatoes I noticed something has eaten the lower leaves on some of my garlic great help. Others are not ready, most of mine is in pots as I only have three beds, the pumpkin and zucchini will go on the fence line they did really well there last year. Couldn’t keep up with two zucchini plants 🌱 the local pantry and neighbours won on those, that was fine they took no work so really happy to share, let’s see what happens this year, no tomatoes last year due to the weather,I have plants ready to go in the ground once the silverbeet is out and soil amended, lovely to see your harvest just as we are starting

    Don't you have a potato fork to dig them with? If not, you need to get one and dig the deep ones out. You are just scratching the surface. Love your videos. Beet pickles are really yummy. Putting your used, dried coffee grounds in the row when you plant and/or crushed eggshells help with some pests.

    What a beautiful harvest Kelsey! The surprise of the potatoes is a bonus blessing! It seemed like such a beautiful day to be outside. I’m curious if when you ‘dry’ your herbs are you air drying them or using the freeze dryer or dehydrator? Perhaps you choose the drying method based on how you plan to use them?
    I hope you‘ve been able to get some rest and are feeling better.
    Thank you for sharing the harvest with us. May the Lord’s blessing be poured out on you and the garden!

      Thank you sweet friend! It was such a beautiful day, I’m so glad I was able to enjoy it before the sickness hit. My preference with drying herbs is always the freeze dryer for retaining the most healing properties. If the freeze dryer is full I will either dehydrate in the dehydrator or hang dry, I treat them the same.

I use it on the littles feet when theyre sick. A dropper mixed with coconut oil because it's a hot oil. On the soles of the feet before bed. Always knocks everything out overnight. Feel better!

    Anne
    Royalty purple
    One of the double gold and one of the Anne died. Still have 4 more though.
    I’m fairly newish to all the gardening. I have however managed to successfully grow a good sized garden for 3 years (this is my 3rd year) and decided to add fruit this year. My blueberries are struggling 🤦🏻‍♀️, blackberries seem fine, 30 strawberries that are thriving but I love raspberries. So I really want to succeed at those (not that I don’t want everything to thrive). They seem to be doing well. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I just haven’t had time to really dig into the research as I’m still teaching myself canning.

      I’m not sure where you live, but you might want to do some research on a new pest called Spotted Wing Drosophila. It lays its eggs in soft fruits, of which I have many. It lays its egg and the fruit starts to decompose. just finished spraying my tart cherries with Spinosad to try to control it. I found out this year that I need to spray every 5-6 days and rotate between three different types of chemical. Very frustrating, but last year I lost almost all my cherries.

      Ok so I started off with:
      8 canes of Joan J
      4 canes Anne
      4 canes Double Gold
      2 canes Purple Royalty
      They spread like wildfire, seriously it’s ridiculous. I’m finding them pop up everywhere!
      The first year I got a few handfuls, the second I harvested 15 gallons!
      I went by volume instead of weight because I would just pop em on a tray and in the freezer and keep adding to gallon freezer bags.
      They grow fast and are pretty hardy.
      They need lots of support if you don’t already have that.
      I cut mine back in the winter, though you can leave some canes for a small early summer harvest(what I did this year) by cutting them back you’ll get a big late summer harvest. With the varieties you gave this should be fine. They are all ever bearing/fall bearing.
      Blueberries are finicky, the soil has to be just right, you can always test the ph! I throw some soil acidifier down each spring and mulch well.
