    Brings back memories when I was 13 I went to live with my aunt in Lawrenceville Georgia, I met a girl we would walk all over she showed me the orchards and said let's pick a couple peaches to eat as we walk,me not knowing went along with her. Well the owner caught us and scolded us said if you want peaches come around to the market side I'll give you a basket full. So we went and got a bushel basket took it back to her house and I got to make fresh peach ice cream and eat it for the first time. Such a special memory.

    Yes you can harvest the rhubarb this year. It is very prolific. I had a stranger ask one year to harvest some of the rhubarb that I had growing along the driveway. I said yes. They took ALL of the stems that they could (a 20 X 4 foot bed). I hadn't been watching ... Well they did me a very huge favour because the rhubarb put on new growth. I ended up with the best harvest of tender stems I had ever had.

      Living in germany, we are not harvesting rhubarb in the late year. After it goes into the later summer season, there is a higher among of nutriance in it, which can cause some kidney stones.
      So we harvest till the middle / end of June and let the rest doing it thing. (Ofcourse the summary of consumption is always to consider, when you think about risks.)
      Also I think that it's always a good thing to leave enough leafs on the plant, because they die back. And in my opinion it would help the roots to develop, when the plants are left alone this year. So the plants can get everything what they can get and suck it into the roots for coming good over the wintertime period. (But for everyone which is experiences other things, keep in mind that living over the big pond, the climate and culture - might be also the type of plants - are not similar to your area. So I don't give any advice. It's only something which came into my mind, when I watched the video and read this comment. // That we would do it different over here)
      Rhubarb benefit of getting split and replanted into fresh places after a few year. Which is giving the plant a fresh boost.
      I think that is what you are actually able to see. Some roots which only had a few new greens in the earlier days of the year and a fresh place where you planted and it BOOOOSTS.

      Hi Becky, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that you should not let your rhubarb go to seed as it gets bitter. Also, it will die back after the frost and come back in the spring. You can also use it to replace lemons in a recipe. 😉

    Hi Becky, Thinking about your abundance of plums, I thought I would pass along a trick I learned from Chef Alton Brown on his TV cooking show. What you do is make a whole lot of pie filling (in Georgia I'm always covered up with blueberries and peaches, but I'm sure there is a plum pie recipe out there that would work). Take one of your big cooking days and make it a Pie Day. Once your filling is ready, and cooled, pour some in each of your pie pans. I only have 2 pans, so I have to do this in batches. Then freeze the filling in the pie pan. Once frozen, take it out of the pan and put it in a freezer bag or vacuum seal bag (lasts longer). If you have trouble getting it out, you can first line your pan with saran wrap. I never do that, I just turn it over and run hot water over the bottom of the pan for a second or two until it releases. I have these discs lined up in my freezer like books on a shelf. Whenever I want a pie I just roll out my pie dough (and if I know you, you already have a bunch premade), plop in a filling disc that is the perfect shape, let it sit on the counter for 20 mins or so, and bake. You could probably bake it right from frozen, letting it cook for an extra 10-15 mins, but I don't know. I've never done that. The beauty is that all the mess is confined to one time. On the day I want a pie, all I've dirtied is my rolling pin and pie pan. Easy-Peasy. And, although you get sick of tomato pie in the summer, to have one in February, from your own home-grown tomatoes, that is easy and ready in no time, would be a real treat. Cheers.

    Hey Becky! If you didn't know, Harvest Right has come out with the new home pro model of freeze driers, and if you have the older model, you can get a new rack for inside that has room for 5 trays instead of 4! You just have to call harvest right and tell them which model you have and they will send you the new interior rack! If you weren't aware, that would get you an extra tray for each batch. :)

In your area, I’d think you need to leave a bit more to get through winter. Mixed berry rhubarb pie filling is awesome over yogurt!! And remember the leaves are toxic! Don’t give to chickens!!

    When I was a kid, my parents and us went and "worked" the orange, fig, and strawberry fields on Saturday and in payment we got to keep a certain amount of our harvest. Towards the end of the harvest season, if there were still fruit on the trees, we could pick all we wanted for free. We had all the fruit we could eat plus enough for mom to preserve and it would last us all year long. They don't do that anymore. I am so excited for you and harvest season. I keep editing this comment. What I did with the kale this year is blanch it, plop it in cold water, squeeze the water out while forming them into pucks, froze them and put them in ziploc bags. Now I can throw them into dishes for a pop of green.

    That pie looks delicious 💞. In the North East a tomato pie is actually made on pizza crust. It has tomato/pizza sauce with fresh sliced tomatoes and herbs on top- no cheese. It is served cold and it's so good. Might be something you'd like to try.

    We have a farm here in Australia 🇦🇺 and I put a large tarpaulin on the ground around the plum trees and then shake the tree. Much easier than picking.😊

    I was gifted some fresh freestone peaches. So beautiful. But way too many. So I wanted to use your idea of preserving them by turning the into something else. You had mentioned a book called Freezer Fresh, I'm not sure it was this video. I just came back to leave this comment, sorry. Anyway, I had also seen Sarah on Living Traditions Homestead say she really loved it too. So I got it and on page 228, there is freezer recipe for Roasted Peach Jam for the freezer. I made it last night, I got seven pints of the best jam I've ever made and I used those hard sided containers you recommended for the freezer and it was perfect. What a success. Thank you Becky. I know you would love that recipe. Maybe another video on it, please. You are wonderful Becky. Susan

    For my tomato pie, I dice my tomatoes, salt them in a colander to sit in the fridge overnight. This keeps them from being watery and a whole piece does not come out when you cut it. They are delicious! I use the basic recipe from Grits and Groceries in Due West. SC, Hattie Mae's tomato pie.

    Fruit trees have a life span. That happened to the apricot tree that was with the house we bought. We got fruit for 2 years and then it stopped producing. Same thing happened with the avocado tree but we had that producing for about 10 years after we bought then it stopped.

    Freeze dried plums and peaches are super yummy. Plus if you cut them up into small squares, they are a great snacks for babies. You could also blend fruit with yogurt and freeze dry little dollops for another baby snack.

    Born and reared in the Deep South. Tomato pie is a staple when the harvest is coming in. I use all types of tomatoes and actually prefer a paste tomato. Your recipe is almost identical to the one I make. Just made one this morning for lunch and then I open your video and you were doing the same. Also if someone wants to exclude the mayo, they can mix the shredded cheese with an herbed cheese like Boursin or even cream cheese and it is still really good.

    Plums are so good for jelly! I just love it. Please do research on care for apples Becky, I had a Hugh granny Smith tree in Missouri, and we put a really good natural fertilizer on the ground the full size of the tree in the fall so all the snow and rain in winter took it into roots. Also they may have treated for worms, just watch them each spring and if you notice them at all, you want to jump on it. Hope your harvest is abundant!

    Hi Becky, Beautiful plums.
    Good that you picked up the plums from the ground. You can use it to prepare alcohol or just simply discard them elswhere if they are damaged. Thisway you will have less fruitfly around and overwinter below the tree, plus less worms in the next year crop.

  • @elizabethharriott9061
    @elizabethharriott9061 Před 9 měsíci +1

    Hi Becky,sucha beautiful harvest! I also have a plum tree. You can simply freeze them. When your ready to processe them, use an apple core and segment tool, while they are still frozen. The seed is easily removed from the core section.
