Thanks for joining me and my dad in the garden for this harvest! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
My dad's daily devotional channel is here - www.youtube.com/@bewithjesus365
Hey Becky! Quick question, can you link the apron you wear in your kitchen while cooking, with the crisscross back please? 😊
I can't find your dad link can you put in please Thank you!😊
Hi Becky, hey friends, my son just yelled from his room. Becky dropped a video. Met me in the living.😂❤😂
So glad it came back on. Love videos with your parents. What a blessing for you and us.
I hope u all to
Damaged apples or pears = cider, brandy, pie filling, sauce, vinegar and so many other yummy things. Don't stress over a little damage from the sun. 😊
Yes Becky has done most of these in previous apple harvests so talented 😁💕
I love how your parents are so helpful & enjoy spending time with you.
Absolutely. Wish my parents did! It’s such a treasure. It makes me happy seeing a happy family together.
Also they probably get to see the baby 😊
I suspect they get to cuddle a very special family member as a result xxx
Omg 😱 😂I see - dried apples, apple sauce, preserved apples, apple butter, apple crumble, apple cake , pears as well . Plus maybe apple cider ??? Apple cider vinegar ?? How fabulous xxx Plus I see preserved potatoes, chips, roasted, mashed, and even soup xxxx
I am so happy for you, that your harvest is so greatly
Also, pears are usually picked unripe from the tree as they ripen from the inside out. They are need cold storage before ripening. Learned this after many years of our prolifically producing pear tree giving us unusable pears. Turns out it was our fault, not the trees:)
That’s what I was told to do, and was thinking about it all tgrough the segment. Pears that ripen fully on the tree are generally quite mushy.
After you cut up your apples for pie filling, hand pies, crisps, applesauce etc, nobody will be able to tell that you cut off a sun spot, bruise or bug damage. They will only know delicious! The perfect ones are good for storage. Remember to save some for stuffing your turkey and for pork roasts. They sweeten the meat in the best ways and keep them moist.
I love your Dad's devotional channel. Be with Jesus 365. It's been a real blessing watching it everyday. I recommend it to everyone out there.❤ Great harvest Becky.👍❤
I love that your dad is so willing to help you. I watch your dad’s devotional pretty regularly and love the encouragement.
Does your father have a TH-cam channel?
@@jessicavelzy2108he does. I dont recall the name though. Maybe reply to the person who regularly watches him.
Did I miss the link to Dad’s daily devotional?
Ah I just recently lost my dad and watching this reminds me of some of the projects we used to do together , treasure your time together.
My condolences, so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm so sorry. Rest gently...😢
I love the excitement your dad has digging potatoes 😊
Treasure hunt😂 ❤❤
Before next year’s potato harvest, get a Potato Fork (a.k.a. Garden or Spading fork). The tines are much broader and less damaging than the narrow tines of a Pitchfork, designed for “pitching” straw or hay.
I was just ready to mention that! Lucky I scrolled down to find your post. We always used a potato fork to harvest out potatoes. The hay forks are not meant to use with dirt like a shovel.
Great Christmas gift for Dad!! Just what he wanted right 😉
my mom still has HER grandfather's potato fork (circa 1920) it will someday be mine!
I'm actually crying now watching you with your dad. You are so blessed to have your parents, and in laws so close and willing to help ❤️.
You really are blessed tp have your Dad's help and hang out with him. That is something you'll always treasure. What a harvest!!!
How blessed you are to spend time with your dad making a memory together. Enjoy these times, they go by quickly.
You have a lovely Mom but your Dad reminds me of my Pop and I miss him SO MUCH! Enjoy them and I know that you do.❤
I love seeing your parents help in the garden! The smile on your dad's face is so contagious! Harvesting potatoes is so satisfying and rewarding! I am grateful that you are willing to take us along while you learn to be a better gardener and I am doing what I can to become a better one as well. I admire your motivation to provide your family with delicious fresh foods! I hope your fall garden is everything that you have been dreaming of!
I was born and raised in Oregon and we had 25 acres of apple trees. You can wrap them in newspaper and put in cardboard boxes in a cool garage they will last until spring. We canned applesauce, pie filling, dehydrated, juiced apples and gifted the area w apples.
Awesome harvest! I recommend that you prune those apple trees this fall, it doesn't look like they've been pruned in awhile. One way that I prep my beds for winter is to spread alfalfa hay across the top of the beds and let it rot over the winter, then I turn it under before spring planting. It is great fertilizer, prevents weeds, and when you turn in under it helps your soil retain moisture through the summer months..
Love your videos and seeing your dad what a great example your son has grandma the other day helping mommy and now dad and mom love it.😊
That was fun! Thanks for taking us along Becky and your dad is so awesome 👍🥔🥔🥔🥔🌻🌻🌻🌻🍎🍎🍎🍎
I love your dad's daily devotionals. Your parents are the sweetest people, and so loving and kind. I wish everyone could feel the love they have for one another. You are truly blessed! Love your YT channel. I have learned so much. Thank you!
Your so blessed to have your parents. Love the potato harvest.
So enjoyed you and your dad harvesting potatoes and apples ! 👏👏
No thank you Becky & dad for allowing us to view your day in the life of harvesting lol I totally enjoy these videos so again thank you!!
I just love your dad!!! He is just a cutie digging up potatoes! 😊
You are so blessed to have your Dad, he is such a great help as you know. My father has been gone over 20 years now and I still miss him everyday. The harvest was enormous...so happy for your family.
I can't wait to see your son with your dad in the garden! The will have so much fun together!
When I see your dad jumping in to help, it brings tears (of joy) to my eyes. That was my dad. He passed away 3 years ago and this video reminds me to appreciate how lucky I was!
What a wonderful apple 🍎, potatoes 🥔 and pears 🍐 harvest! And your father is so cool 😎! 😊👍💕💕💕
What an amazing harvest season you're having!!
It is so wonderful that you are able to share so much with your family and friends! What a huge harvest your garden has produced!
Sweet parents❤ you should be so pleased with your first year garden at this house. Congratulations on a job well done. I plan to listen to your dads devotional channel. You are an inspiration as are your parents. Thanks for sharing.
I love seeing you spend time with your dad . I lost my dad when he was 50 yrs old hes been gone 43 years ago it hurts like it just happened. Cherish your parents my mom is still with us she just turned 91. ❤️.
I am watching your dad help you really missing my grandpa he used to help me all the time with anything I needed. You are blessed to have family that loves and helps you!!❤
Wonderful harvest and quality time with your dad. You could not ask for a better dad date. Becky you are precious!
New Gardner in Ohio: You are so Blessed to have parents who enjoy helping you in the Garden. I love seeing them.
Becky! How sweet that your Dad has a devotional channel. I definitely signed up. Will start in the morning when I wake. So glad your potato harvest went well!
Wonderful memories are made and shared how lucky you are to have your mom and dad what a blessing
Your dad is so cute when he harvests potatoes 😊
Love how your parents are so helpful. It's truly a blessing.
Thank you so much for sharing your dad’s page! What a blessing. ❤
I love harvest videos!!! So excited to watch! Have an awesome weekend! ❤
Thank you! You too!
@@AcreHomestead I recently subscribed to your dads channel. I love the devotionals 💚 thank you for sharing 😊
Great video. Tip, I you turn thr Apple upside down and give a little twist when picking they come off the tree much easier with no damage to the tree
Love that you have the help of such awesome parents seems like your entire Family and Josh's Family are great people and all Love one another!
Becky you need to twist the apples in your hand a little and then pull slowly down. This will be less damage to the branches.
It is so heart warming to see you and your Dad working together on your potatoes
This is the most beautiful apple harvest
Maybe you could pick some of the damaged fruit and put them on the boundary of your property for the wildlife to eat, instead of it rotting on the trees.
It's great that you have your Dad to help you and your Mom
Just the time you get to spend with them is worth everything
❤️😊
A far as the apples are concerned most sunspots and small damage can be cut away and the rest of the apple should still be ok, me and my foster mother used to even pick them off the ground , cutting out the bad spots and making apple sauce and canning chunked for pies and such. Awesome harvest! Stuffed zucchini boats are so delicious! I have frozen a bunch in the past as well for stir-fries.
Love your family and your faith. Love your Dad's channel also!!
Becky I ordered the canning book you recommended in your last video. I got it today and oh my word! I started flipping through it before work. My husband found me on the floor with my dog flipping through pages like a little kid. I haven't been this excited to try new recipes since my last book purchase 2 years ago. Thank you so much.
I do the same thing lol but my three dogs usually don't allow me to do much flipping lol
Wonderful! That makes me so happy!
I bought it too! It is awesome!
@mtblondie0036 🤣 we have 6 dogs. 5 of them are young boxers. If I had the boxers with me on the floor, there wouldn't be much flipping either. But my senior pittie loves hanging out doing chill things with me. He loves when I lay there and talk to him or read to him.
I got the new book also and I’m the little sister but I’m teaching my big sister how to can so i ordered one for her too
I’m so giddy Watching you and your dad harvest😆. It’s truly like finding treasure. I pray your homestead continues to bring abundance ❤️.
How awesome that you have your parents close by to help.
I am addicted to watching all your videos.
Those apples would make some amazing Applebutter jam.
Russet potatoes are pretty much what we eat!
I am encouraged to look into gardening in the spring. Not as big as yours but small enough to start and find what we like to grow and eat
! We love homemade salsa so veggies for that is a must! Loving all the canning tips!
Not sure if anyone else commented on this, but in future, dear, lift and twist as you harvest your fruits. I worked harvesting apples for a few seasons, and learned that if you break off the woody tip of the branch, called the spur, which the stem is connected to, no apple will grow there next year. By lifting and twisting, you use a lighter touch, and therefore avoid making finger bruises on your apples. Wonderful harvest of potatoes and apples. Your garden is amazing!
Also, with the large amount of apples you get, you could get a cider press, and press the apples to can your own apple juice.
Thanks for sharing your Treasures with us 😊
I adore your parents!!!!! I love watching your channel, I feel so inspired about my own garden!!!! We trim our fruit trees so that the branches all hang down so they are easier to pick. This also protects them more from excessive heat and sun burn. I live in the land of apples here in Union Gap wa.
I wish I had such a relationship with my dad.
Y'all did a fantastic job.
Will you rake the ground to move the downed apples to a star outside the fence for the deer to enjoy?
Also, will you at the proper time top the fruit trees to make harvesting next season more manageable ? No ladder climbing.
The correct way to pick apples. You turn the eye of the apple to the sky the apple will break off the tree. The eye is on the bottom of the Apple.
If you just pull the apple down you can damage the branch of the tree.
Amazing harvest. 👏👍
I’m moving soon and will have a garden for the first time since I was a child. You’ve inspired me to grow some produce. I’m definitely going to grow some russet potatoes. I’m going to get me a garden diary to tell me when to plant seeds and baby plants. I’m planning a start in January. Can’t wait. xx
I love to see how excited your dad gets when it's time to harvest the potatoes. Ii know where you get your love of gardening from. What a great harvest! You are a blessing to your friends and family that you share with.
Potato harvesting is always such fun. You got a great harvest. We find a spading/garden fork so much easier to use than a shovel and pitch fork.
If you turn off the water one week before harvest, your potatoes will be easier to dig and will be dryer.
The fruit trees in Lake County Oregon are producing this year! It's been decades!
You need to provide it with extra water during the hot summer months.
❤ Everything about this video is beautiful! I love how your dad came to help and that absolutely amazing harvest that you are able to use to bless so many! 🥰💕💜 Such a beautiful thing!
Pick sooner shade cloth, trees need trimmed back watch some videos on how. The trees probably weren’t trimmed back for couple of years.
Becky pears should be picked underripe. If you leave them to ripen on the tree, they get little hard bits through them
You can get a grabber for reaching high up fruit. It consists of a ring of teath with a net attached to a telescopic pole. Inexpensive and easier than ladders . Here in London 🇬🇧 you can borrow this handy tool from my local library . Thank you for taking us along to your bountiful harvest. You are blessed 😊
Didn't know about 😢sun burns in apples....
I was smiling through out the video as if I'm doing the harvest with my dad.. ❤❤❤
Oh my GOODNESS! Your basement is a beautiful sight! What an inspiration to strive towards. I just love your videos. This day with Dad was awesome. So special to spend time together and have that help. ❤🥔🥒🍐🍏🍎🧅🥔🥔🍎🍏❤️
So generous of you, Becky, to share the fruits of your labor with your friends! If I could grow fruit trees in my condo…I would! I miss having them! Enjoy! Bye, Dad!
Love when Dad comes over 😂❤ the chickens would love those apples on the ground.
It’s best to twist an apple off the tree instead of pulling it off. Less damage too tree and future production.
My mom would just cut the bad part off and use the other half of a piece of fruit
I love your dad's TH-cam channel! It is a great way to start the day and I watch old ones too. I watched three yesterday and three today. He's amazing and his word fill my heart and help me connect with God. I am very thankful for his messages. 🙏🏼❤️
Great work hun!!! Proud of you I am learning so much from your channel. Thanks for sharing❤
your dad LOVES harvesting potatoes and it is so cute how excited he gets! 😂
What fun dad!!! I loved how beautiful tour smile was and how beautiful the baskets of apples looked. This is great. Thank you!
I just went tinkered around in my garden. I really love fall time. It is so vibrant with life just before the rest of Christmas and winter. Thank you Father God for your great love. Amen
Please take out that cedar bush. It's not good for the Apple trees. The sun damaged apples could still be used if you cut off the bad in apple sauce.
Awe, your dad is just too adorable! God bless you & your family! Love your garden & how neat it is, it makes my OCD very happy 😂
Why not cut away the damage & use the rest of the apple?
If you pick up all the fallen apples and pears (chicken feed?), the wasp problem will lessen. Great harvest! Thanks for sharing.
I've read that apples are fine for chickens...just not the seeds. Is that true?
Apple seeds do contain just the tiniest amount of cyanide, the chickens would have to eat a huge truckload of seeds every day to even start feeling sick. In short, no problem even for humans if you accidentally swallow a seed.
You can still eat the sunburned apple.
So wonderful of your family to get together and help ,you are truly blessed!!
Becky I cant find the link for your Dads devotional channel.

Thank you Becky
There are many different fruit collecting tools that might make your life easier in harvest season. Would suggest having a look to see what might work best for you
The moment's you send with your parents are priceless and you have it on video to share with your future family.
You can donate any excess to a local food bank or shelter
How gorgeous is your Dad! He has such a beautiful energy, his kindness shines through even the Internet.
Hi Becky’s dad. You win father of the year. Harvesting memories stay with you for a life time. Whenever I’m in the soil memories of harvesting with my grandmother just come back like it happened yesterday & that was over 50 years ago.
You are so blessed to have your parents support❤ Every year I plant sweet potato vine in my flower pots and this year I found two large sweet potatoes!!!
Your parents are adorable! I love that they are hands on with your homestead and enjoy helping and spending time with you. That is such a blessing!
What is your dad’s You Tube channel?
www.youtube.com/@bewithjesus365
@@AcreHomestead Thank you
Becky see if you can get someone to help you prune your apple tree. It needs more light and air flow. This will help with the presure next year. You can also spray with Souround Clay next year. It will make your harvest even better and more healthy. Just sharing.
I just love to see your Dad digging for treasure! 😊
i love when parents come ... god bless them
I was taught to not plant or store potatoes and onions together. They do not like each other.
Love watching you work in your garden with your dad. Bless him for having the time to help you in the garden during harvest time. My husband and I found an apple tree in the neighbourhood and have been picking from it and enjoying having a snack as we ride our bikes.
Wow, your Dad is awesome to have helped you!! He worked so hard on your potato beds! I love that your parents are always there for you and support you and even dive in working with you!
Hi Becky,
I loved watching you and your dad work together in the garden,my dad passed away a few years ago and I miss him a lot.
Enjoy your wonderful parents and your beautiful garden you are truly blessed!❤ By the way i love all of your harvest baskets 🧺
