Beautiful harvest but I'm afraid your little helper stole the show! ❤❤❤🥰
I'm quite alright with that! My little helpers are a big part of my "why" and I love seeing them enjoying the garden
such a sweet kid ❤
Just realise how long i have been followed you. Watching Ahao grow up, Dawang be fatten up and your baking skill level up over years has been one of my great joys.
There is little more beautiful or satisfying than seeing a harvest laid out before you. The fresh rain will encourage more growth for more harvesting. 😊 What a productive day! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it all. Thank you for sharing with us. 💜
Thank you, friend! So true, such a gift. Blessings ❤️
I love, love, love my kale smoothies! When I pick my kale I put it in a sink full of cold water and add salt and swish the kale around. The salt causes the worms to die and sink to the bottom of the sink. I pull the kale and wash out the sink, then rinse it again in a clean sink full of fresh water.
Great tips! Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful. Canned celery is one of my favorite things i can it in small jars and whenever i make soup or crock pot meals its ready to go!
Oh my gosh, your little one with the cookie just made my day! So cute. That was funny! 😄
He is my little sweetie! Thanks for watching ❤️
I just love how beautiful your keyhole garden is. Tall spikey flowers are my fave.your veg garden is doing really well too. Thank you for a great video. Take care 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you! That space is my favorite too ☺️
People grow carrots and do all kinds of stuff to get them to come up. I just keep em moist with water. They tear up jack. I got so many this year I can't eat them all. But I'm 4 veggie guy, Tomatoes, cukes, carrots and beans. Very nice garden.
Put purple yam ( ube) or purple potatoes in your soup with a little red cabbage and purple carrots with those beautiful purple kale..You will have a perfect purple soup!!!
Way to persevere through the rain 😊 Love the small harvests before the big ones hit and need attention asap. I react the same to any new bloom or flower 😅
LOL thank you! I’m so glad someone else shares in my excitement ❤️❤️❤️
I started dehydrating Kale and Spinach and blending into a powder. I put it in soup, stew, and smoothies.
With the garlic, grind it up, put it in Olive oil and put it in ice cube trays and stick it in freezer bags.
Great idea!! Thanks for the tip!
your vibrant produce and determination in the face of weather challenges were inspiring and engaging to watch.
I love to do a massaged kale Ceasar salads with home made dressing. So yummy!
Fabulous 👏
🌿🐞
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!!!!
Hi i am “Todays Harvest”, korean urban farmer. So inspiring videos. Thank you❤
Very happy harvest wow beautiful garden...love it...
Hi Kelsey,
The garden is Stunning! Beautiful bountiful harvest! You are truly blessed. ♥♥♥
Thank you! I’m so grateful, what a gift! ❤️❤️❤️
I just love watching you living life well. Makes me smile
First, beautiful garden!😍 Loved seeing your little one point and say more. He knows how to select ripe raspberries. So cute. 🥰
I'm so grateful for your video. It is relatable and inspiring.
Oh....the joy and satisfaction on your face as you showed the compilation of your harvest at the end of the video!!! Thank you for sharing your blessings, which in turn becomes a blessing for all who view you. Proves to be an inspiration for me. Our bulk harvests have yet to start, though harvesting of some veggies, herbs and flower heads have begun. I have yet to grow celery, but after seeing yours, I will give it a try in 2024. Merlot lettuce was a newbie for me this year, as a pack of seed was gifted to me from ordering through Baker's Creek. It has earned a spot in my gardens going forth. I look forward to future videos showing how you preserve the harvests. Thank you Kelsey. Blessings to you and yours,
Thank you Sandra! It is such a blessing ☺️ celery from the garden is a real treat, the flavor is so intense and delicious! Blessings to you ❤️
I can't wait to see your idea for preserving lettuce.
Nothing too ground shaking, and it’s my first time trying so I can’t speak to how well it works but I’ll keep you posted. I just filmed all the preserving and that video goes up Friday ☺️❤️
How wonderful. I like your garden.
Im enjoying all your videos. I can definitely see you growing so big 🙏🙌🤗your awesome. Your baby is so precious ❤
That it so kind of you! Thank you, I appreciate it. Many blessings friend 🤍
Right there with you. I just had my first full day of harvesting and processing!
I love seeing the pantry fill up! So satisfying. Thanks for watching ❤️☺️
You've done so well! I love going out to harvest, it's like a treasure hunt.
Thank you! Isn't it so fun?!
You have a beautiful garden, both vegetable and floral. And your little one is absolutely adorable.
Beautiful everything. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️💚🥰🤗
Thank you Brenda! 🤍
Enjoy your beautiful harvest, Kelsey! Great job!
Thank you so much! ❤️
We love making kale chips here. Super easy and there many recipes for it online. Thanks for another inspiring video, Kelsey.🌹
Yum! I wish my kiddos would eat them 😂 maybe one day they’ll come around to it! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing harvest! Your little helper is too cute! 🤗
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
Your garden is so beautiful. I’m zone five b so I can’t really harvest much except for herbs and rhubarb. The garlic will be ready in a couple of weeks and the scapes gave me some lovely pesto for the freezer. Love the potato harvest! Such fun. Have a productive week, pretty girl. ☮️💕
It will be here before you know it! How exciting ☺️ thank you! ❤️❤️
I am also in 5b. Watching this video gets me excited realizing harvests are not far away. Prepping by getting my supplies ready to go!
@@SandraMalone-pq4mn I know, right? I made some rhubarb bbq sauce yesterday and today I am going to dehydrate some mint, oregano and thyme. I’m lucky because it grows wild on my property ❤️
Beautiful garden, beautiful cottage garden and wonderful abundant harvest! ❤
So kind, thank you! ❤️☺️
Oh, wow, fantastic harvest, all your hard work is really paying off. Congratulations, I can't wait to see how you preserve everything.
Thank you friend ☺️❤️
Lovely and yes July and August is killer!

Cacoal Rondônia Brazil❤
great work dear queen
I'm in Connecticut. The rain and storms have been relentless here in the northeast lately, haven't they?
phew they sure have! It's been pretty nonstop in our area! I'm glad though, that at
least I don't have to water lol.
I harvest kale almost every day to share with my kids' rabbits. It's very nutritious for them.
Oh good to know! I’m hoping to get rabbits soon ❤️
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful harvest! Such a blessing.
Yes, thank you, I’m so grateful!
Nice harvest!❤

@@seedandsparrowhomestead your welcome
Just beautiful... living my life thr ur garden this year.. im not able to have a garden this year, we've have many family emergencies. And thats where my time needs to be this year.. So living thr yours.. ❤
I've been there too
@@seedandsparrowhomestead thank you!!💚
Hi from Mississippi.
Hi there! 🤍🤍🤍
LOVE LOVE LOVE your garden, congrats! our 107+degree daily weather has just completely beat our gardens for the second year in a row 😐
Thank you! Oh no! That’s so frustrating! The weather can really put a damper on garden joy. I hope you find a way to push through 🤍🤍🤍
Your garden is so beautiful! I’m battling the rain too as it keeps coming and going when ihave onions and potatoes to harvest😩. I’m loving not having to water tho😜
Thank you! It is nice not having to water! Feels like a reward 😂
I am trying to plant as many potatoes as I possibly can at the moment!! I am hoping for a continuous supply of potatoes the way potatoes are going!! Enjoy your harvest!! Cheers!!
Same here! I just planted a second round of potatoes! Blessings ❤️
I have scarlet kale and Red Russian.
Beautiful varieties!
I love the video and your cottage garden! All is beautiful. Please tell us how you will store all the produce until you can get to the preserving tomorrow or the next few days. I never know what is best.
Thank you! I stuff as much as possible into my fridge, usually the most perishable. Everything else either soaks in cold water in the sink(like celery or kale) and some just have to sit on the counter until I can get to them(carrots, beets, garlic) I did throw some stuff right into the freeze dryer too! Same could be done with a dehydrator.
I love your channel so much. Just found it. You’re a Christian home making and gardening is my goals. I am a baby in Christ and also a baby in gardening. ❤❤ you are very inspirational. I will definitely be binge watching some of your videos, and I am a new subscriber.
Welcome new friend, I’m glad you’re here! Many blessings on your journey 🤍

What do you do with the petunias? I didn't know they were edible. Is it just the cosmic purple or are all varieties edible? Lovely garden and such a cute helper! Thank you so much for all your content. I just love it❤❤❤
Not all! The cosmic cherry is and you can make a simple syrup with it for pastries and drinks that is supposedly similar to cherry flavor! Thank you so much ☺️❤️
❤❤
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤❤🧖🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯⭐⭐💯💯💯💯💯💯
❤️❤️❤️
Hello! I am in So California. Question! Why do you harvest the blooms of the petunias? I have never seen that done before. Really enjoyed this video. I think it would be so nice to harvest (I know it is not optimal) in a little rain…but…I just love the rain. We are in our dry season now…so will not see any rain until probably mid Sept or Oct. ☹️ Thank you!
Hello Karen where are you from?
Great harvest! What are you doing with the petunias?
Making a simple syrup! Its suppose to taste like cherry :)
@@seedandsparrowhomestead please let us know how it turns out!
Nice harvest! What will you do with the cherry petunias?
Supposedly you can make a simple syrup infused with them that taste like cherry!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead Okay, I may try. I tried tasting mine and did not really get the cherry flavor but maybe steeping it would bring out the flavor.
What do you do with the calendula and petunia flowers?
Petunias are an experiment, not all are edible but these are, I’ve seen others make a simple syrup infusion with them. Calendula I mix with jojoba oil to infuse and use in salves, soaps. ☺️
😊😊😊🎉
How can you make lettuce last😢
Hi first time watching your channel. What zone are you growing in?
Hello! I’m in PA zone 6B ☺️
I have to ask - what are you doing with the petunia blossoms?
Supposedly you can make a simple syrup infused with them that tastes like cherry!
Hello I am Pakistani 🇵🇰
Take a tenth to the church they will so appreciate it as some don't think to make time to garden.😁
You know it's really not good to pick wet beans... it makes the others not ready mold. Just saying so you know.
Such a beautiful garden and bountiful harvest 💜
Thank you! ❤️
