I Guess This is a Thing Now | Edna's Big Pan Rhubarb Pie

[@joannahines6413]

I am so GLAD you all enjoyed my grandmother's pie! This makes me so very happpy! Thank you for trying it! Passing on the former generations recipes is how we keep things like this alive! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@LittleMountainRanch]

We loved it! Was even better the second day. Thank you so much for the recipe.

[@cheryldruckenbridt1276]

❤ l will try this recipe! It looks yummy!

[@jessacw]

We just named our baby Edna and every time I hear about an Edna someone knew they seem like a wonderful person and it makes me even more happy with the choice!

[@SJC49]

I had an Aunt Edna. She raised four children and nursed her Father until he passed. She was my Mother’s best friend although not a blood relative. Lovely lady who made the world’s BEST butter tarts! 😍😍😍😍

[@COWELLGIRL]

My grandmas name was Edna Mae and she was a wonderful , smart and resourceful, respected woman

Hi Chelsea: just a quick comment about your corn, you might try a smaller square patch for them, rather than an long slim row of corn to get better pollination & seed for future growing out.

[@Amanda-cn3pk]

Incandescent Christmas lights can help keep plants warm too.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Was just thinking I should add some to the Hightunnel.

[@09echols]

I'm so glad your garden wasn't frozen. I remember how sad you were when a late frost hit last year

[@jennan3407]

Ooh! Will you please do a video when you make your Honeyberry Sun Jam?

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

Growing up in So Cal, I recall the local citrus and strawberry farmers using smudge pots to ward off the frost in their fields. We were surrounded by dairy farms and fruit fields. Lots of fun summertime job opportunities for us.

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

"Good thing they're so cute." Famous last words :) Hahaha

[@brendabrenda413]

I say that about my goats every time they escape!

[@elizaC3024]

You could freeze dry the rhubarb, it is wonderful to be able to make a rhubarb 🥧 in the fall, as well as a batch of rhubarb apple muffins.

[@SJC49]

Dan had a great idea to put the fabric on a reel - so quick if frost warning or hail sneaks up on you!😍🇨🇦

[@lindamills9444]

I wish it was still cold in the south, 90's & 100 already. (Mississippi )

[@524FrmGrl]

I am so thankful your plants faired well in the frost. I’m in Southeast Missouri and even though we have not had frost, it’s unseasonably cool.

[@Sylvie_M]

I have noticed that since we have a cold spring, there are not that many bees around. Love haskaps and tried a haskap chutney (recipe from Canadian Haskap Association) with tourtiere....omg, the chutney was delicious! We are looking also at very unseasonably cold nights and since I have planted my tomato, cucumber and squash starts outside, it is likely to stunt them even if we have no actual frost. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

[@nightshadeacres]

Running strings of holiday lights under plastic covers can create enough heat to easily make it through a light frost.
Also wrapping a few of your rafters/cross beams in the high tunnel can give you some warmth to plant safely a bit earlier.

Weather is a challenge for all Gardeners, You are a Champion in dealing with the challenges. Thanx for sharing, God bless.😃

[@fleurettewoods6080]

I am jealous. We had frost here in Flagstaff Arizona last week. 😳. I am happy you are having such a good garden

[@fleurettewoods6080]

I am happy it's warming up. I can finally get my tomatoes and peppers out. Funny enough, it's 95 today.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Same here in SW Idaho! I was working out in the garden, but got too hot and came in!

[@TinyBarnFarm]

I hear you on the "instinctive gardener" approach... I haven't taken on the companion plant thing either, but I see the benefit. Oh well, so far we still get a great crops :) We're in Northern Ontario, so I can relate on the unexpected frosts and short growing season!!

[@teriharman566]

So very glad your garden was covered. That rhubarb recipe looks delicious. Thank you for sharing

[@AZJH8374]

Like kid's. The sheep wanted to go where they were not to go. You made me laugh out loud!! I love your channel ❤️ God bless and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻 💙 ❤️

[@absunshine6906]

Hey Chelsea It's been cold at night in Red Deer the entire month of May. My squash is looking miserable. I've covered them with clear tubs to try to keep them alive. Good thing I save every pot that comes home with me so I can cover everything.👩‍🌾

[@Amanda-cn3pk]

I wish I could grow honey berries, but unfortunately they only do well in colder regions.

[@kathystarnes6744]

Glad you didn’t have any frost damage. At least you have your method for covering your plants and know it works! 💚

[@susanharrell984]

That is like what I used to make. I got the recipe from a very good friend of my mother. Only difference was we added 1 tsp of grated orange peel and a tsp of nutmeg.. This brought back some wonderful memories.

[@elizabethseaborn3179]

Northern Alberta here. Hate this weather. My tomatoes are getting pummeled by wind and cold.

[@jenniferpepler5843]

I live in AB too and I guess I am thankful I have been unable to get my garden in the ground until a week ago. I haven't put in the tomato, cucumber or pepper plants yet for that very reason! So ridiculous!

[@belindadunne4312]

I always enjoy spending time with you on this channel. It is a dose of tranquility in a rather busy day. 🌻

[@poodledaddles1091]

Oh your garden looks so orderly! it’s maddening when gardening gets harder by having to cover the plants!

[@Flowers4Everyone]

Interesting that it's still so chilly.

[@mommajessiesboutique]

We had a cold front with rain here in Michigan. Monday supposed to be 41 degrees at night then back up to summer temps. I got some of our summer stuff out so definitely will be covering them.

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

I have heard from other Gardner's that watering your plants before the frost happens will help the plants. I have not had opportunity to test it out. Nancy from Nebraska

[@dhansonranch]

Good video! I chuckled at the sheep and your response....grass is always better on the other side of the fence, when you are a sheep! lol. That pie looked very good. Glad you covered - I am kinda glad my garden isn't in yet. They are forecasting frost here and Saturday is high of 9 with more rain - the fourth day of rain.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Just found out yesterday that all the stone fruits in BC were wiped out by the January deep freeze and the cool wet spring didn’t help. Man, I feel for those farmers. 3 years running of rough weather effecting crops.

[@dhansonranch]

@@LittleMountainRanch OH WOW!!! I had not heard. I as well feel for them. Wiped out as in dead trees or just the harvest for this year? I wondered why the peaches and cherries were so high last year. But glad I stocked up too.

[@brendamaas4293]

If you can get outside before the sun hits the plants, if you spray everything with water and wash off the frost, they will be fine. It has to be done before the sun hits the plants, though.

[@krisqueen5939]

Why does rinsing the frost off help? Usually they are solid frozen with frost here in northern Alaska. Thanks😊

[@nancycowan6109]

The rhubarb bake is very similar to my mom’s rhubarb bar. She called just about anything she baked a bar because it was always in a big jelly roll pan. Rhubarb will always remind me of my mother and her love of baking. Thanks for another sweet video. ❤️

Bee Bop a Rebop Rhubarb Pie !

[@danamama6766]

The grass is alway greener on the other side haaaa was always a farmer motto made statement from years ago. Clearly for a reason 💕 My critters too. Always want where they can't go. Oh my gosh the pie looooks so yum. So glad the plants were ok. hugs

[@ka6148]

For most plants that are frost sensitive we pull the dirt over them, covering the entire plant, for the plants that are too tall we cover with old doubled sheets

[@minnieme453]

I wonder if you could use a pool cover on its usual roll those tend to be durable (so hail help and such) and they’re large so could be used for multiple rows!

[@belieftransformation]

Thanks for sharing all your wisdom & knowledge & wonderful recipes! Everything is so beautiful on your ranch. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@nancyrea3863]

The dish looked wonderful. Glad you saved most of your plants.

[@janesgarden7481]

When frost is coming we always water our plants to help protect them. Hope that helps. Everything is so lovely.

[@colleendigiacomo3089]

I planted green onions next to my peas, I’ve never noticed problems in the past, guess we’ll wait and see☺

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yup, that’s my attitude, too.

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Hi from 🇸🇪 Sweden. Great that your plants made it! Here it's been a very hot May and June has started out cold, but fortunately no frost. I love rhubarb too, I have the best recipe for a delicious quick rhubarb pie, but I'm not sure how to translate it! it calls for syrup made with sugar beets, and I don't even know if you have it or what it resembles.

[@krisqueen5939]

Maybe syrup made with sugar cane. Also we have sugar beet harvest in the United States. So please share three recipe and we can search out what would work best. Maybe even just karo syrup that is easy to find. 😊

June 10th has some unfortunate memories for my family, we had some major happenings on the day 3 years in a row starting back in 2015, so now I always say we skip that day, instead June 9th and the 11th are both 36 hours long😊. Weird that you are experiencing negative happenings also on that date. Let's hope June 10th is better this year!

[@fleurettewoods6080]

I love your garden set up

[@lorrainejones759]

Did you mean transpiration when talking about the moisture on the tomato leaves? I am always amazed at how gardening differs in such cold temps. Here on the east coast of VA, those temps would have destroyed all crops. Your gardens are wonderful! 🌞🥒🫛🌞

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I did although they do also respirate. I always mix the two! lol

[@heidieverett8394]

Enjoy your channel. Made the rhubarb pie in a pan today! Delicious. Fingers crossed no more frost. Here in Nov Scotia we live in zone 5A. Last typical day of frost June 7th, but have had frost later in June over the years and also in August. We did invest in some row cover. Can you share how you canned the rhubarb please? Same process as applesauce? Thank you for all your wonderful information. I understand canning, could not find a recipe for canning rhubarb.

Unfortunately, you won’t see most of the frost damage for a couple days. I hope everything’s okay!

[@Sarah-over-here]

When you see the guttation do you usually stop watering or do you just water less? Or is it a groundwater problem? So glad that the garden made it through the frost.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Usually I just wait until til the soil dries a bit before watering. Plants are always releasing water through their leaves but you can only see it when the temps cool enough for the droplets to hold and not just evaporate.
