I love your garden and love hearing your goats. My husband started laughing. I asked him why. He said. She said she don't know what she planted where because she just put seed where there was space. Thats so you. I do it all the time. Got to use up every inch. ❤
Yeah and it works!! Haha
Fascinating about the birdhouse gourds...
I thought so too!!
What a lovely garden! ❤
Thank you so much!♥️
Hi Heather, they also cut those in half when Dried and used for a scooper.
Gorgeous garden tour this week, thank you for sharing it Heather! Never knew that about birdhouse gourds, but they did sound tasty to me.
I'm so pleasantly surprised with how good they are when harvested young like that!
Thank you so much Heather. Your garden looks fabulous. Some of these veggies I have never heard of. You are doing good. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
There's so many great veggies out there I haven't heard of too! It's pretty crazy! Thanks for watching!
Looks good 👍
Thank you!
Awe that's so awesome with the peppers! Last year so many came up this year is the year of squash and tomatos... I'm still going to try some more peppers
I'm excited to see them coming on!!! It's hard to wait for them to get color on them but green is also good! ♥️🫑
I had the same problem last year with my corn. Too much wind knocked them all down. Surprisingly corn will stand itself back up. Its the weirdest thing. They grow more roots out of the back side and kind of pull themselves upright. Not even kidding lol.
Oh!! Well good, I'll stop trying to help them LOL!! Thanks! !
Kwe Heather! I had gotten the potato seed berries last year from my potatoes. I cant remember when I took them off the plant but I did let them sit on my counter for a couple of days, then took out the seeds, put them on paper so they could dry. I forgot about them, this February I found them and started them in seed trays. Dont do what I did, it wasnt the right time to plant them. I forgot that these potatoes needed to be buried. I lost all my starts. I dont have the room in my house to do something like that.
BUT THEY ALL GEMINATED:)
Im hoping I get seed berries this year (a different type, Im so excited its one of our indigenous foods. apparently they have less sugar then regular potatoes. thats why a lot of indigenous people have diabetes, they went away from our original foods) and will do the prosses but only plant them directly in the soil outside next year.
Let me know what works for you:) I wish you lots of luck:)
That's SO COOL!! I'm sorry you lost the seedlings but what an amazing learning experience! Thanks for sharing!!
My very first garden in florida I grew birdhouse gourd! I kinda forgot about that. I need to do ot again. Especially if they taste that good raw. My kids don't care for cooked veggies 😂
Yeah no need to cook!!
I love that your getting back to posting more content in your busy summer because I must say your channel is the highlight of my day, down to if my day didn’t go so well I come sit in the quietness of my hangout and watch your video and everything bad from my day just washes away, your happiness and smile is very contagious and mood changing so Thank You for your awesome content!!! Also I have different types of squash growing just as you do and I also have the same situation of having bee overload in my plant on one end, but not hardly any bees in the other and its boggling my mind as to what is the reasoning for that but my question is…what kind of bees are bigger than a queen bee honey bee? I have some bees, I have never seen before much less on any plants that look the size of these bees that is clustered in my white squash plant!! It kinda freaks me out because I’m familiar with honeybees and the black and yellow bumblebee carpenter bee type bees but we called those a different name in French for the black and yellow bumblebees, but this type of bee resembles a honeybee but it is nowhere near your average size bumblebee by no means!! Also another question…My husband is not a gardener as myself by no means but he will do crazy things as times to see what happens, well he put a random potato in container several months ago to see what it would do…well this thing starts making leaves and then multiplied and is now making purple flowers. I have never done potatoes so I don’t know what to look for as far as knowing if this thing made more potatoes or when to harvest them if they did 😂 So can you share a little information on that. Thanks in advance, God Bless
Flora thanks so much!! I'm so happy our content is a place of refuge for you!! I'm not super knowledgeable About bee varieties but I've seen a bunch of different ones here too! I want to find a good guide on identifying native bees and wasps. As far as the potato, wait until the leaves die back to dump the bucket and harvest!! How exciting!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead Thanks for info on potatoes. That would be awesome about finding a good book, if you find anything interesting please share😊 God Bless You In All You Do!!
I let my patty pan get a little bigger last year with a slightly tough skin and they stored for a few months
That's GREAT to know!! Did you peel them to eat them?
I just sliced and roasted on a sheet pan
Come on loofah! ❤
🎊🤞
I had no idea that potatoes put off berries!
ME either. I'm gathering that they are probably not edible.
@@SageandStoneHomesteaddo you think they contain potato seeds? I wonder if they have a multi year cycle of some sort? 🤔
What a wonderful garden tour! Zucchinis I planted them last year and they were so prolific they're called eight ball zucchini because they grow the size of an 8-ball? I don't know that's what the label said hahaha. I like them they're very personal sized zucchini with your love and they're tender and delicious. And I absolutely love the scallop squash this. This year I planted the englischer custard squash they have yet to produce but next year I'd like to definitely try my hand on Cushaw squash. The eggplants are coming in and what I thought were black beauties are actually Antigua eggplants hahaha I told you all my tags got mixed up it's like Christmas out here LOL but I'm excited cuz I finally got three varieties of a plants to grow. Heather what varity of birdhouse gourd is that again? Did you get it from Bakers Creek or hoss tools? That is so cool to know that you can eat those.
This seed is from Sow Right Seeds I belive!!! There is a link for that company in the description box with a discount code!
Let's experiment! 😂 🥔🥔
🤩♥️
Your garden tours just keep getting better! Those big beautiful tomatoes in the kid's garden make me eager for BLTs!! Your gardens are certainly loving all that heat & humidity! So glad you're enjoying the yellow beans, they are special! How are your bees doing? They should be making good use of that weather also. Thank you for the update! 🙂 God bless!
I went and looked at the bees yesterday and a few appear to have swarmed again and need me to remove some boxes as they build up again. Definitely doing their bee thing though!! ♥
I wonder if it taste like an Armenian cucumber or luffa?
The Armenian Cucmmber tastes much more like an actual cucumber than the birdhouse gourd! I've yet to try luffa but can't wait to!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I'm glad you recorded it. Awesome homestead! New sub
Thank so much!! I'm glad you're here!
So hot...
I do have a squash growing and im fairly certain it is the tromboncino. I just forget planting the seed 😂
Good!!!
Pre making your pickle brine is brilliant, Heather!
Thanks!! Should save time on the back end of preserving too!!
I love your beautiful garden. Potato seeds is how new potato varieties are made, (since they can cross pollinate with each other). Without having tried it I believe it is however a two year process to grow potatoes from seeds, the first year you get some very small "potatoes" and you then use those for seed potatoes the next year to get a potato crop and only then will you know what this new variety might be like.
Thanks!! That's SO cool!
That's interesting about the birdhouse gourds!
So surprisingly good!!
Beautiful garden!❤
Thanks so much!! ♥️♥️
Wooow, nice crunch! ❤❤❤❤❤
Right?!
How is the Bee's doing.
I just looked at most of the colonies yesterday and it looks like a couple more swarmed out without me seeing so they are building back up! Smaller populations in about half thr boxes so I'm watching them closely! ♥️♥️
I enjoy you so very much 😊
Thank you so much, I'm so happy you are here and enjoying the channel!! ♥️
Wow those sunflowers are so beautiful! I love sunflowers! I am currently making a digital Scripture print!
Oh how lovely!!! I can't believe the number of blooms that will be on these !
Wow! Everything has really grown in just one week!! I think you are going to need to have several baskets for harvesting when you step into your garden!! The beans you shelled are beautiful!!Thanks so much for sharing, have a safe and wonderful Independence Day!!!!🇺🇸
Thank you Cindy!! Happy 4th!
Everything is looking great! Also glad to hear that your goats are feeling / doing better. I’ve had to pick up our first round of copper bolus due to some goats having rough coats and I noticed my buck has a ‘fish tail’. Not looking forward to administering them though.
Thanks for sharing! Have a great 4th!
Sometimes fish tail just never goes away! Idk why but Christine just won't grow hair on the end of her tail.
TY!! Loved seeing your garden an ALWAYS smile when I hear your goats. So sweet.
Thanks so much! Goats are a true joy ♥️♥️
Our weather is just as bad. My garden is dead. Everything. Between the heat and the bugs, we are done in.
Omg no way! It feels so sudden!! I'm so sorry!!
@SageandStoneHomestead I am hoping I can get my winter squash to finish on the vines before the vines completely die. Dozens of cantaloupe are hanging onto pathetic pale, limp vines. Most of my tomato plants are diseased and slow to reach to trellises. I keep trimming, buy I don't want to take everything off. Anyway, I plan to start pulling this up, but want to spray the squash bugs before I start disturbing the soil. Otherwise they will run. To the next plants to destroy.
Awesome garden!!! So enjoy your tours!
Thank you so much!!
The wind knocked our corn down also but it's stood back up alot
That's so great to hear!!
Oh calamity stop being mean 😂 share the show
She is so funny with her attitude!!
Looks amazing!!!!👍👍🦋🦋🦋🦋
Thank you!!
I did not know that about squash and storing!
Yep!! They will last longer in storage once the rind has hardened!
My dill isn't doing good at all.. 😟
It's hit or miss for me !
Wait, what? Berries from a potato plant? I've never heard of that.
When I was a teenager, I detasseled corn. There had been storms that laid down the stalks and we still had to detassel them!
I have some cherry tomatoes that are ready...I think I'm going to pick and eat them right now! :D
What was the idea behind detassling the corn?
@@SageandStoneHomestead it for companies like Dekalb and I think it was the female corn we detasseled. There were 2 or so rows of male corn and then 4 of female. That was hard work and long, hot days!
Oh my the gords! So cute
They make me SO happy!!
Hey hey👍🏾
Hello!
I don’t know if I missed it, but what variety were the gerkins? Lovely garden!! Just found you channel and I’m hooked! Your videos are so sweet and inspiring ❤
Thank you so much! Here is the exact seed we bought: seedsnsuch.com/products/gherking-hybrid-cucumber?variant=34641348493472&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwivemBhBhEiwAJxNWN4jEHChVLgEl4HvHK2R-YfXr5u83NQjVVTCnh90sLAJeO4AZsgtN5hoCx-EQAvD_BwE
That garden is definitely a bee’s paradise!
For sure!! 🤩🐝
Your Garden is perfect and peaceful. I love it, ty for sharing.
Thank you!! ♥️♥️
The seeds are tiny like poppyseeds and the potatoes are small from the seeds.
Yes someone else said you then turn around and plant those small potatoes for the bigger ones. Long process but very cool!!
Love your garden.
Thanks so much! ♥️♥️
Hi Heather You Harvest your Potato Berries when they fallen of the plant on they own accord
how to extract the seed please read the link below
The first step of harvesting the seeds is to ripe the fruit on the window for about a month After a month place them all into the strainer and squeeze all the pulp out , every now and then you can rinse with water.Once you have squeezed the pulp out of all the fruit, begin rinsing with worm water, Very hot water is required to remove all the slime (which contains an enzyme that keeps the seeds from germinating, so if you don't remove it all, the seeds will likely never germinate) from around the seeds.Scoop the clean seeds from the strainer and put them onto a plate with a paper towel on top to absorb the water. Once the seeds dry, place them into a zip lock baggie for storage.
Thank you SO much!!!
