    In Russia, we build summer kitchens outdoors - it's easy and pleasant to work there. To prevent tomatoes from cracking, they need to be watered only early in the morning. For good preservation of carrots and beets - they need to be collected after the cold snap below +10 Celsius and stored in a cool place in a box with sand. This way you can easily preserve them until next spring.

    You need an outdoor canning kitchen. Processing my harvest outside was so satisfying. All you really need is a sink and a propane stove(s) and plenty of tables. It keeps that connection to the garden while you work.

    One thing I've noticed about this channel is that they make this stuff look really easy because they have a lot of skills. I grew up basically doing all of this stuff with my parents and watching this channel makes me want to do all of it again despite kind of hating all of the work when I was kid.
    Avoiding the pests, fungus, and managing periods of drought or too much rain is a huge challenge.
    These guys are real professionals.

    I picked a ton of strawberries this year at a local farm. I crushed them and measured them into ziplock bags so each bag was ready for 1 batch of jam. Last weekend I made two batches of jam and it was so easy with half the work done! I also tried out my steam canner for the first time. It was amazing! Much better than my water bath canner. When we’re getting low on jam I’ll make another couple batches. I have enough berries frozen for 6 total batches.

    Good harvest. Nice onions! I grow quite a few dried beans and when I have a harvest like that, I don't always pull off the vines. I will lay the plant out on a bed sheet and wait until the whole thing is dry - bed sheet is important to catch the beans that explode out of pods. Once dry, i pull the sides together to form a bag and then i beat it on the floor, walk over it, beat it some more until the beans are shelled. Sometimes, I will stop and pick out the big pieces of chaff to make it easier to get the beans out of the shells that have fallen off the plant. I continue beating and all the beans fall out of the pods - there will be some chaff in the bottom but pouring it in front of a fan on hi deals with that (may take a couple times).. I have done this too when i have picked the beans - saves shelling. Just another option for ya to deal with the dry bean harvest. Office looks nice! For some reason, I thought it was further from the house though..lol. Good video.

    If you have onions or peppers that are getting old you can dice them and freeze them for quick add-ins for things like hash in the morning, just double bag because onions smell. I do this and it saves time and money. Love your videos.

    You folks do an amazing job. I like your approach of not making more work for yourself in peak season. I do the same. I freeze my canning tomatoes and my jelly and jam fruits until I feel like messing with them. I have found that I love using my instant pot Max for canning small batch pints of items, like greenbeans and okra, that come in every day. It's become part of my routine: eat supper, feed the dog, clean up the dishes, stir the vinegars, set up the coffee maker, wash and can 4 pints of beans in the Max, whipe down the sink and countertops...turn on the dishwasher and out the lights. It just has a lovely flow to it. Also, it's good to know I am not the only one struggling with onions from seed! I just don't know what it could possibly be! I plant someone else's onion slips I get 2lb onions... my spindly little shoots give me shotglass sized onions. 😂 the struggle is real!

    I feel like you when it comes to canning. It's so overwhelming. I saw a creater who froze her tomatoes and processed them later and it looked SO much easier. I love the idea of growing essentials and specialty foods you can't buy. It's a fun thing. Not a survival things for me. Homesteading is incredibly small scale for us. Herbs, tomatoes, beans, and greens. 💜

    Your video came up in my feed today- I'm impressed with your harvest! I've been growing and preserving for 50 odd years, and there's always more to learn! Lots has changed over those years... I often freeze my tomatoes and small fruit like blackberries and grapes. During winter I'll make large meals, eat some, and preserve a few jars. I've always dried my onions and garlic by braiding the greens together, and hanging them up to dry. I just cut one as I need it.
    My beans stay dried until I want to cook a large batch during winter. I'll preserve a few jars, and make a meal.
    I really like that you point out alternatives to canning. I'm hoping to pick up more ideas from you as I binge watch your videos... Thanks for taking the time to make them! Aroha ❤ from Aotearoa (NZ)

    thank you for another very helpful and amazing video. Even though I live in zone 10a SW Florida I have been learning so much about harvesting and preserving methods. I started my little urban homestead garden in 2021. My style of gardening alines with Michelle's. I love herb gardening and have been growing herbs for over a decade, long before vegetable gardening. I love to go the easiest route of preserving. And I would much rather be outside in my garden then in my kitchen but I do love to cook simple meals. Thank you both for your wealth of knowledge. You are blessed to be a blessing to others. Thank you for sharing your faith in another video. I am also a Christian that prefers to show my faith through the way I live instead of telling you. It was evident to me that after the first two videos I watched that the Lord was the center of your lives. May God continue to bless your family with good health, wisdom and knowledge and your homestead with an abundant harvest. ❤ Happy Harvesting

    I'm with you on finding simple ways to preserve. Harvest season is already busy enough. I will cook in double or triple batches during the year... chili for example, I'll make enough to eat for 1-2 meals plus canning 4-8 quarts. The electric 4 quart canner has made pressure canning nice for small batches.

    One of our pear trees produced for the first time this year as well. Most pears ripen better when you pick them green and then let them ripen on the counter. I have had to do that because although there were about 2 dozen pears on our tree, we only got 13 good ones. Something(I assume birds) were eating them and I had no choice but to pick them green before we lost them all. I ate the first ripe one this morning and it was amazing.

    I grew black eyed peas for the first time this summer and I’m thrilled with the harvest I’ve gotten so far. I’ve never cooked anything with black eyed peas but I have about three or four pounds to work with over the winter months! I look forward to seeing you shell all your beans. I’m very curious to know how much you end up getting. I can’t believe it’s getting cold up there already. It’s still in the upper 90’s here in Texas.

    It's thanks to watching your videos from the last year and a half that we've doubled our produce this year. I've even experimented with lots of new things to grow. Some have been a success and some... Not so much. But there is always next year. This year I grew 8 Amish paste tomatoes from seed and my plants have climbed to over 8 feet tall and are loaded. I've been coring, cutting and freezing them until I'm ready to make sauce. Your advice about preserving is spot on and so helpful because of harvesting season being at the same time that we are cutting all our second cut hay. Trying to get both done was so stressful in the past.
    I always look so forward to your videos each week. Thanks as always

    I like to can dried beans later in the season as I need in order to have jars on the shelf ready to go. Keeps the work out of the busy season but also allows for the ease of having jars of beans on the shelf so I don't have to think about the whole soaking and cooking for hours process.

    We don't can our dried beans, either. At least not during Autumn. But since Winter is so much slower, and the pressure canner heats the kitchen up quite nicely, I will run a few batches through to have some ready to go for quick meals in the warmer months. I especially like to have pinto beans cooked and on the shelf for quick refried beans when making chicken burritos.

    My onions were ready extremely early... But they didn't cure very well as it was rainy and humid, and not especially warm. The green took so long to dry. The ones I grew from seed were later and dried better.
    I guess you don't have many slugs and snails? They would adore hiding out under that dried leaf mulch. I had to replant beans 4 times and still have a low yield.
    I had a ridiculous amount of pears last year, none this year - 2 weeks frost at the exact wrong time.
    I hope for better luck next year.
    But my squash are awesome! :-)

    Pears ripen from the inside out when on the tree but outside in when picked. I pick one and see how long it takes to ripen on the counter. One year I waited until the pears were yellowish on the tree but they were all rotten inside. Another year, I forgot to check them. In three days possums ate all of them.

    Old timers Braided-like wrap around their green onion tops so the whole onion could be drying/curing/storing then hung them in long bunches about a dozen or so.
