Such a great harvest. We are in the disaster area in North Carolina and getting ready to evacuate. We have been told that it may be several months before electric is restored. Although most of my canning was done, I will lose all my freezers. I will have to live vicariously through you and others. Thank you for giving me a little space today by watching this video and enjoying the harvest.
@dixierobinson2606 - God bless you, your family, friends & neighbors. Such a horrific amount of storm damage. It's been so hard to watch from a distance & I simply can't imagine what all of you are going thru. Stay strong, hold onto your faith & each other & we'll keep praying for you all. God bless ♥️🙏🙏🙏♥️
We have been watching from here in British Columbia. Horrified at the devastation and extent of the damages and loss. Sad about your situation but hope you stay safe and well!
For the hot peppers you can try to transplant them in to vases, and store them in the house until the complete ripening😉 The hot peppers plant aren't annual, if you store them inside in the winter, the next year you have only to prune them and you have already a fully grown plant that the second year produce more😉
I've been a silent watcher for years, but I wanted to thank you, Chelsea, for highlighting the things you find beautiful or gorgeous in all of your videos. It's heartwarming and encourages me to do the same in my everyday life. Congrats on your bountiful harvest as well!
I feel for all the people that have lost all their gardens and freezers full of food. Last but not least, all of their homes. That is so much work to lose it all. But if you are safe and your family too, that is much more important!
All that amazing homegrown food. It's just incredible. A lot of very hard work from you to give your family the very best produce. Huge pat on the back to you ❤
I was talking to my husband, and he asked me if I had a role model… It took me about 5 seconds to think about it and with a grin on my face I said, “ Yeah! Her name is Chelsea, from Little Mountain Ranch!” You and your family have been a true inspiration to me and my family for years! Thank you! ❤
Another reason for growing several varieties of anything is that you increase your chances of success. Any one year could be a struggle for one or more of the varieties. But, with many varieties, it's unlikely that all will fail.
Chelsea, so sorry, but I had a good laugh at your reaction and body language to the very tart elderberry juice. I replayed your reaction a few times. It communicated Perfectly, just how tart the juice was. Thanks for the chuckles. Really enjoyed seeing all that wonderful, CLEAN food too that you'll be able to share with your family and friends. Your family is so blessed in so many ways. Thanks for sharing with us, especially those of us 'trapped' in cities and don't want to be. Blessings and Love. ❤
Congratulations on getting all that food harvested out of your garden. Very big accomplishment. Dan was a great help in the garden today, team work. You both work so well together. The bread 🍞 looks delicious. Have a great week. Looking forward to the next video.
The flavor profiles of tomatoes vary quite a bit but when you put them together they seem to meld so well and make a sauce or soup that is unimaginable!
I save some of my favorite flowers by freeze drying them. I seal them up in a large canning jar and keep it by my bed. That way, i have a bit of summer to enjoy during the winter.
Wow! I just paid 86 cents each for green bell peppers and 1.49 each for yellow/red peppers tonight. You have quite the bounty there!! I love watching your videos. I am in Alabama so our gardening adventures are quite different.
Love Dan helping you I could listen to him talk all day his northern accent comes through beautifully. What a harvest you had definitely blessed. That bread looks delicious going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing.
The trick to getting rid of the burning from peppers is to drink milk if your mouth is burning and to use rub yogurt on your hands and let it sit for a few minutes. Water doesn't get rid of the burning but can make it worse.
Impressive! Looking forward to the final tally, poundage-wise! I’m particularly envious of your pepper haul! If your green peppers are starting to blush they will ripen to red if given time and kept in a warm place. Sun works too.
My grandmother’s recipe for green tomato relish is the best. It is a sweet relish and you can’t tell it’s made from green tomatoes. I can send recipe if you’d like.
All of the vegetables that you cut into sound so fresh & crisp. The bread looks so yummy, too. I don’t think I received the bread recipe. How do you get your honey such a light color? Your garden is so beautiful. I'm sad about those beautiful flowers freezing
Amazed by how bountiful your garden has been this year. You were worried about a slow start but it came through gangbusters. Seems like the pickling cukes preferred a later start. Will miss seeing the garden blooming but now you can plan the next one. West Coast Seeds is great, just wish I had a garden.
I *love* the flavour of elderberries. Elderberry pie in all it’s crunchy tart-sweet goodness. What a fabulous bounty from the high tunnel and garden!! And I cannot WAIT to see the hot sauce get made. Thanks for all these posts. I’ve no idea how you find the time
We were blessed with a lot of peppers also. We love stuffed peppers. I found a stuffed pepper soup that can be canned. It is delicious. It helped me use a lot of my tomatoes and peppers. You just add rice when you open.
Wowsers Chelsea……that high tunnel did fab. Wish I was 20 years younger so I could go with that big of greenhouse. At our new place I am planning on at least a 20 ft one, it’s just the two of us and even in that space you can preserve a ton of food. Congrats on the great harvest this year….you guys are so deserving, take care of yourself. Cheers 🇨🇦🌷
Another benefit of northern gardening is the day length in summer. Where I live, we have about twenty hours of sunlight in mid to late June. That gives our plants quite the turbo boost.
Yum!! I think I’ll be making cinnamon raisin bread tomorrow..LOL. WOW, at the peppers!!! And, as you were picking tomatoes, I was mentally saying, “don’t forget those over there.. those are ripe”..
Oh my, I just love watching you in your garden! You are almost giddy with joy when you harvest things and it is so beautiful to see! I never had any experience with vegetable gardening as I grew up, so to me what you do is magical. I can’t wait to see your 2025 garden!
Dan should drink milk or yoghurt mixed with some water and a pinch of salt to neutralise the pepper heat. We eat very spicy food in Pakistan and normally have milk or yoghurt based drinks called lassi with them to make the spices milder.
Amazing harvest bounty. Bread looks delicious, Chelsea! Nice to see Dan trying the peppers, the hot sauces will definitely have some heat. Nice work, you two!❤❤
Green chow with a home cooked meal is delicious. I don't garden but I would cook up some chow if I had some of those green tomatoes. It's very hard to find good home made chow.
Poor Dan, his mouth really was on fire after eating that pepper. But at the same time, it was really hilarious.😂 Especially because Chelsea thought he would take a little nibble instead of a big bite. I'm curious how long his mouth was on fire. 😅 Congratulations on your amazing harvest! ❤ What a blessing to harvest so much produce, and still many more to come. It is also a huge blessing that you are able to gift food to family and friends, especially since fresh organic produce are so expensive. I hope you were able to enjoy a few more days of your picked flowers inside the house. It's always so sad when frost kills the flowers. Especially when there is a huge abundance of them. I hope you have a wonderful week, in good health and with beautiful weather. Saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗 🇳🇱 ❤
Wonderful Harvest Year for you. Who could have guessed. The only clues are the warnings of possible lack throughout this Winter and next year. Many I watch, who did the work and kept trying, have suffered terrible growing weather, and their abundant harvest has been very unexpected and even surprising. HE is faithful.
Did it freeze enough to kill the garden? What a wonderful Bounty!! My hubby helped with last harvest too so fun!!😃🥰 Yum raisin bread I’m going to do it with the raisins I made from our grapes👍🏼😋
My grandma made the best raisin bread. It was her mom's recipe so the recipe is well over 100 years old! Grandma always made enough bread to share with friends and family and neighbors. It was the best raisin bread ever. I remember making bread with her from the time I was a little girl all the way up until the year she died and she passed the tradition on to my daughter too. I know how to make her bread and I follow her directions exactly but I think her hands just gave it extra flavor that I can't give it. 😂 She passed away at age 96 a year and a half ago. I miss her and our bread making adventures, but I have her raisin bread recipe framed on my kitchen wall ❤
What an amazing harvest! I lost about 90% of my tomatoes this year to blight. We harvested ripe fruit for about three weeks before it was clear that the rest wouldn't survive. There was so much lovely plump fruit but it all had to be pulled up.
What a great looking harvest!! Thanks for sharing your life with us! Do you make soup mostly with your tomatoes or salsa? Have you tried grilling them with a slice of cheese on top or hav you tried green tomato pie? Love the channel! Always enjoy catching up with you guys!😊
Incredible harvest!!! How joyful to see the abundance you created with your own two hands!! Dan is so funny!! I hope he gets more comfortable being in the videos because he is very entertaining!
Your sunflowers are breathtaking. I love your garden. I’m also sad for your frost. I’m in Minnesota and the forecast doesn’t have frost for quite some time. I hope it is correct. It usually isn’t. I still have lots of green tomatoes. I’m going to really miss your garden videos this winter.
We were 1’ here this am in Falkland BC when I left for work at 5 am . Got my gardens done Friday after work , so glad as it’s easier when they have t bern hit by frost .

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello Chelsy, why don't you get a big bunch of flowers 💐 and bring inside. May God continue blessing you all ❤
I really like the way she shares, does anyone find her as adorable as I do?
Totally adorable! I’ve been following for years.
You are blessed to have a good husband to help you ! ( without complaining 😊) ❤️
This is the kind of lifestyle I aspire to have someday
You got over 5000lbs of food this season you did so well!
For the hot peppers you can try to transplant them in to vases, and store them in the house until the complete ripening😉

I love that you walk barefooted in your garden lol

Your husband cracks me up!! His mouth is burning up and he's just so CALM about it!!
I wish I could taste those tomatoes! They look fantastic:) I can’t wait to see the potato and carrot harvest.
You are so lucky to have Dan working along side of you when you need help Harvesting. I really enjoy watching your canning process.
I have so much respect for all you do from seed to jar to feed your family with the very best nutritious food. And share it all with us!!❤
Farmers markets in Northern California are selling organic peppers and tomatoes for $6 pound. By that standard your high tunnel just made you $3,600!
Same in east central Illinois,

What a harvest!! Enjoy the fruits of your labors...lol. Hope you brought a few of those glorious sunflowers inside.
I save some of my favorite flowers by freeze drying them. I seal them up in a large canning jar and keep it by my bed. That way, i have a bit of summer to enjoy during the winter.
It’s always a sad day when my flowers get hit with frost. I will cover them as long as possible but eventually winter wins.
Wow! I just paid 86 cents each for green bell peppers and 1.49 each for yellow/red peppers tonight. You have quite the bounty there!! I love watching your videos. I am in Alabama so our gardening adventures are quite different.
Somehow watching you harvest all the beautiful produce makes me feel better about my lack of harvest this year. ❤
Love Dan helping you I could listen to him talk all day his northern accent comes through beautifully. What a harvest you had definitely blessed. That bread looks delicious going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing.

I love Dan's Chelsea impression! Hilarious!
He's such a brat! lol
You should make some French toast with your cinnamon raisin bread 😋
A nice bread and butter pudding would be lovely.
Love the crisp sound the peppers make when you pick them .
Impressive! Looking forward to the final tally, poundage-wise! I’m particularly envious of your pepper haul! If your green peppers are starting to blush they will ripen to red if given time and kept in a warm place. Sun works too.
My grandmother’s recipe for green tomato relish is the best. It is a sweet relish and you can’t tell it’s made from green tomatoes. I can send recipe if you’d like.
It also has red and green peppers, onions, and cabbage in it.
now I want that bread, I didn't get a newsletter with a bread recipe in it darn it I know I signed up for that news letter
All of the vegetables that you cut into sound so fresh & crisp. The bread looks so yummy, too. I don’t think I received the bread recipe. How do you get your honey such a light color? Your garden is so beautiful. I'm sad about those beautiful flowers freezing
I was able to get 40lbs or 19kg of potatoes this year.🥔I didn’t weigh the tomatoes, but the squirrels have stolen way less this year.🍅🐿️
Amazed by how bountiful your garden has been this year. You were worried about a slow start but it came through gangbusters. Seems like the pickling cukes preferred a later start.
Will miss seeing the garden blooming but now you can plan the next one. West Coast Seeds is great, just wish I had a garden.
I *love* the flavour of elderberries. Elderberry pie in all it’s crunchy tart-sweet goodness.
What a fabulous bounty from the high tunnel and garden!! And I cannot WAIT to see the hot sauce get made. Thanks for all these posts. I’ve no idea how you find the time
Thank you, I learned a lot!!!!!
You can make salsa verde with the green tomato's instead of tomatillo's. Make as mild as you like.
What a party you two throw!!! Harvesting is pure joy. Congratulations on the beautiful bounty! Loved this video, Jean Colorado USA
Do not forget to pick your purple beans on the vine, you showed us in the beginning of this Vid 👍🍅💜🧡❤
I'm so glad you figured out what made your sunflowers fall over 🌻
But it will be equally hard to believe when you wake up and discover you need to get your seeds going next season! The joy of gardening!
We were blessed with a lot of peppers also. We love stuffed peppers. I found a stuffed pepper soup that can be canned. It is delicious. It helped me use a lot of my tomatoes and peppers. You just add rice when you open.
You always had lovely sunflowers,beautiful.You are a great cook.🥰🌺🌺
Today I pressured canned 15 pints of Pumpkin for my granddaughter, she’s 8 months old and happy to provide for her .
Beautiful pepper harvest❤❤👍
Sad and sorry I missed the meeting. I'm not sure how to do it. I was watching the ladies talking. working on it
So glad to see Oakley! ! !💖
My garden didn’t do good ate all. But my flowers were beautiful. I brought my one plant on porch. I’m not ready to lose it
Wowsers Chelsea……that high tunnel did fab. Wish I was 20 years younger so I could go with that big of greenhouse.

When eating a spicy pepper, eat cheese or drink milk to kill the burn🥰 Great harvest & fun spending time with you both! Blessings 🤗🇨🇦🌻
Another benefit of northern gardening is the day length in summer. Where I live, we have about twenty hours of sunlight in mid to late June. That gives our plants quite the turbo boost.
Can't wait to see your carrot harvest.
Yum!! I think I’ll be making cinnamon raisin bread tomorrow..LOL. WOW, at the peppers!!! And, as you were picking tomatoes, I was mentally saying, “don’t forget those over there.. those are ripe”..
I hope you pick a beautiful bouquet!
I’m lucky if I can get 2 green peppers per plant. Jealous at the size of the peppers. Dan is brave to take a big bite of the pepper.
oooo i knew dan was going to be hating life in about a minute! he took a chunk off. poor guy! i did get a little chuckle, sorry dan!
Oh my, I just love watching you in your garden! You are almost giddy with joy when you harvest things and it is so beautiful to see! I never had any experience with vegetable gardening as I grew up, so to me what you do is magical. I can’t wait to see your 2025 garden!

Amazing harvest bounty. Bread looks delicious, Chelsea! Nice to see Dan trying the peppers, the hot sauces will definitely have some heat. Nice work, you two!❤❤
I’m with Chelsea I don’t wear gloves gardening cooking dishes I only wear them. When I clean
My chickens love this time of year. They get a few sunflower heads and leaves every day. Aside from corn, thats their favorite treat
I can almost smell that bread down here in FL. I will make a batch this next week and looking forward to that smell. YUM.
if you eat a really hot pepper, drink milk (not water). You can also soak your fingers in milk to take out the sting of hot peppers.
The multiple flowers sunflowers have origins on the midwestern prairie. That’s how they grow in the wild throughout the plains.
Green chow with a home cooked meal is delicious. I don't garden but I would cook up some chow if I had some of those green tomatoes. It's very hard to find good home made chow.
I've had pretty good luck pulling peppers & bring them in, sunny spot in the house & they'll ripen
You always impress me with your awesome gardens harvest.
Chelsea the amount of work you do impresses me soooo much!!!
Dan should have drank milk instead of water after sampling that habanero.
U can cut the flowers an put in vase an beautified your house, it will still last a bit longer.
Pick huge bouquet of flowers! ❤
Poor Dan, his mouth really was on fire after eating that pepper. But at the same time, it was really hilarious.😂 Especially because Chelsea thought he would take a little nibble instead of a big bite. I'm curious how long his mouth was on fire. 😅

I canned sweet pickled peppers. Also, make a condiment with sweet peppers, onions,garlic. It’s great on subs and bratwurst or anything you like.
I do also ,love it on hamburgers and meat sandwiches also.
Have you ever tried using silica to preserve your Zinnias? It’s amazing and I’m abdicated to this preservation method. The color stays perfect.
Ok so I wanted to do this with my orange and yellow ones to make a fall wreath. They orange ones all turned pink😮
Wonderful Harvest Year for you. Who could have guessed. The only clues are the warnings of possible lack throughout this Winter and next year. Many I watch, who did the work and kept trying, have suffered terrible growing weather, and their abundant harvest has been very unexpected and even surprising. HE is faithful.
Chelsea, you tasting that elderberry tonic was like Lucy tasting meatvitavegamin…LOL
Did it freeze enough to kill the garden? What a wonderful Bounty!! My hubby helped with last harvest too so fun!!😃🥰 Yum raisin bread I’m going to do it with the raisins I made from our grapes👍🏼😋
It sure did!
@@LittleMountainRanch 🙃Bummer ours will be soon too and like yours the flowers are on a lovely resurge from the summer heat stress.
Wow, what a harvest. Especially gratifying after the cold slow start. Worrying about the bees now if you uncover the high tunnel.😬
My grandma made the best raisin bread. It was her mom's recipe so the recipe is well over 100 years old! Grandma always made enough bread to share with friends and family and neighbors.

Yum! Tomato sandwiches ♥️♥️♥️
I love pickled green tomatoes. I do them myself. Make the brine like dill pickles. Yummy
you are so full of energy it makes me tired.😂lol. I've never had your energy level.
I LOVE your white bread recipe I make it a lot for my mom. ❤
I FD tomatoes sliced and they were delicious! I need to do more before the end of the season.
What an amazing harvest! I lost about 90% of my tomatoes this year to blight. We harvested ripe fruit for about three weeks before it was clear that the rest wouldn't survive. There was so much lovely plump fruit but it all had to be pulled up.
Plus the Tomatoes that you bought and processed -Amazing success.
I love the sound of the crackling fire. ❤ Your Honey looks amazing!😋😋
Love your videos
Awesome beautiful harvest.❤❤❤ I hope your feeling better soon. ❤
Congratulations on your produce amounts. That is amazing.
I'm sad, too. Hate to see the flower's die.
What a great looking harvest!!
Thanks for sharing your life with us! Do you make soup mostly with your tomatoes or salsa?
Have you tried grilling them with a slice of cheese on top or hav you tried green tomato pie?
Love the channel! Always enjoy catching up with you guys!😊
I would have to bring the flowers inside. Have to!!!
