Never new to take leaves off of tomatoes. Until I started watching all the gardeners on utube😂
Beautiful cows,Beautiful scenery, Beautiful jam.. let’s see .. did I miss anything..? Yes.. your Beautiful smile… fun video..💜💜💜💜
I have historically lost so many garden tools that I could start a hardware store. I finally used orange electrical tape and put 3 stripes on the handles of all of my hand tools. Makes them so easy to spot and saves so much time and money!
Hummingbirds 💜💜💜 My lavender plants are frequented by hummingbirds and of course a ton of bees. I love listening to the hummingbirds and bees when I’m in the garden.
Places the scissors could be: basil, chamomile, chives, dishwasher, a child's art project....
Even hay bales lol 😊
in the grow tunnel from the day You were tying up the tomato plants the other day/week 🤔
Chelsea, I want to drive to your house - I'll bring my own fork and spoon!! 😂 Yum! I found a recipe from the Washington Post for Dill Hamburger Pickles - it uses only 2 pounds of pickling cukes per recipe and is perfect from our tiny garden. Can't wait to taste the garlic, mustard seed and dill!!
My 3 and 6 yr old grand babies are the light of my life! 3 yr old is a crazy, funny little guy. His older brother has the biggest heart - I am so in love with him!🥰
Aren’t grandbabies just perfect?!!!
Grandkids are the absolute best! They are one of the most amazing blessings of my life! I have three so far!
I wish i could live here and do all the chores.
I only found your channel a month ago and wow, I just love everything about it. You have such a welcoming and down to earth personality. I also have a giant family! I wouldn't have it any other way. Kids and grandkids are my driving force.
Thank you so much!!
You live in a slice of heaven. You share it with a slice of peace. Thankyou.
I love Paddy, thank you for showing him today ❤
Oh my goodness!!! That blueberry sun jam looks amazing. The only problem is, in my house, I would make a blueberry pie and freeze it for the holidays. Soooo yummy!
Hi Chelsea. Get yourself an old (or new) mailbox 📭and put it in your tunnel. It looks pretty cool and you can store scissors, gloves, seeds, etc inside. 🌻
Love that idea.
Because of the heat we have had in central Missouri, I decided to top my tomatoes. This was about a month ago. I noticed that my plants ate filling out and I now have new blossoms forming. More hot weather coming so keeping my fingers crossed that the blossoms will pollinate.
I saw the scissors ✂️ in your apron and maybe it was used to remove the large broccoli. Grandkids are the best, take in as much as you can while they are young. I’m so lucky to have 5 beautiful grandchildren 24 to 4 years old . I have play days with the 4 year olds ( twins) every week. The older ones we get together every few months for a few hours to catch up but I make use of messenger in between to chat 💬 so we can stay connected. Glad the smoke has finally cleared and what beautiful views you have of the mountains.
You must not have predators since the cows and calves are so far from the home. Loved seeing your animals.
My grandchildren are all grown but now I have one great granddaughter and another great on the way. I get to care for her often which is so fun.
When you said you were going to put the trays in the car, I thought you were kidding! That's brilliant!
Those Roo aprons really need slots for scissors, nippers, pruners, trowel, string, clips, lipstick and smartphones! The kitchen sink!! 😂 Like a carpenter’s belt.
Same goes kitchen aprons. Somewhere to hang cup measures, spoons, a hand cloth and swimming goggles. 😬💅😁
I love my grandchildren but now I have great grandchildren and they are such a blessing
And I love them Even more6
Thank you Chelsea!
When it’s really dry out we’ve been known to take a jug of water and pour it where the ground rods are to increase our electric fence charge. ⚡️
If you water your grounding rod really well it should help with the charge. Your scissors must have joined the party with your hori knife and my axe...lol. That fruit dump looked really good. Good video!
I keep meaning to do that but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
If I understand this correctly (which is a big if ), your berries will be sweeter in a dry year. More water tends to “dilute” the juices, 😮which results in a berry that is not as sweet. I think this is true for many fruits, including tomatoes.
Makes sense!
Kale is best harvested in the fall, even with snow on the plant. Kale becomes sweeter in taste when harvested after the first frost . It is such a hardy vegetable that provides food late in the year. I always leave kale as late as I can.
I harvest it all summer long, although I'd agree, it's sweeter in the fall.
So do it but always leave some for late .
Clever jam recipe.
Enjoy the grandchildren…they grow so fast. My granddaughter just turned 21😳. It was such a joy watching her over the years and we now have a great relationship with her. ❤❤
Chelsea You are such an inspiration!!! And girlfriend you must walk 100,000 steps a day!!😃🙌🏼🚶♀
When you got your new puppy I commented that I had named my new puppy Oakley too. Now it seems we have more in common. While we live extremely different lives we continue be surrounded by same named animals. As a suburb dweller the animals I come in contact with are my neighbor's pets....two of my neighbor's dogs are named Honey and Oreo. Puts a smile on my face when I hear you talk about your animals. I'll continue to listen for more similarities. Love your channel.
Lol! I love that so much.
I just word that I will receive your cookbook tomorrow. Can not wait
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it!😊
I live on central coast of CA in an agricultural area. Two blocks from my house are commercial flower fields which I adore watching grow on my morning walks. I've named the snapdragon fields the Chelsie garden bc I've never known anyone to enjoy snapdragons as much as you.
Paint the scissors bright fluorescent yellow. I rarely lose my pink tools in the jungle I call a garden. Lol.
Brilliant!!
Chelsea, SOOooo very pleased that you highlighted the Roo-Joey apron last week. Mine arrived today & I picked green beans for the first time in the raised beds. GENIUS!!! No strain or twisting for this gardener with back & mobility issues. THX!!!!!
Seriously such a great product!!
I love humming birds.
I’m so happy for you to have a grandbaby and happy that he lives close enough to visit! I love my kids to pieces, but my grandbabies are absolutely perfect! I have heard someone say that parents treat their kids like the Old Testament, under the Law and grandparents treat their grandchildren like they are under the Grace of the New Testament. That’s pretty close! God loves us like a grandparent, ferociously! I’ve never heard of sun jam before, that’s a cute idea! It seems like you might be able to put it on trays in the dehydrator as well.
To help you hot wire work better during dry weather; pour water on your grounding pole and continue to do so as it drys out. A farmer on you tube mentioned this on his channel.
Hi, the last time I could see your shears is in the "Canning Day" video at 29 minutes in on the prep table in the kitchen. Hope it helps.
That's exactly where they were. 😊
Hi Chelsea. I think using a Caribiner to attach your scissors to your apron would work best. You could clip your Hori Hori there as well if you have a safe way to keep it sheathed. Loving your garden, your animals, your family... Everything. I'm a Mémère myself and it IS the best Blessing ever. God bless you and your Loved Ones, and Enjoy!
Yummy! Have a blessed day ❤️ 🙏
I used to blame all the missing items (scissors, knives, screw drivers, duct tape) on the kids. Then they left home and the items still went missing! It was me, I wasn't putting them back. I solved the issue with a few nails in a wall and artfully drawing the item on the wall. Rather than look at the picture i can actively look for the missing item while doing chores.
Those garlic “seeds” are actually bulbils. Tiny versions of the big plants. They will make a bulb the first year and a head the second year.
Thanks a bunch!😘
It is definitely beautiful I would never consider leaving there if I were you, too awesome.
When we lived in the mountains in the years that squirrels were abundant, we would see the occasional fischer.
I love your garden it’s amazing
Well done and thank you !
i planted the bulbs of a soft neck... it did a one small glove... like a tennis ball... i kind of really like it.. its like an onion... one peel all around
You make everything look so effortless, but I know you work hard!
The animals are gorgeous. You can see the love in the way they glow in the sun. ❤
Yes it will help. You'll allow that energy to go to the fruit. You may have to clip some new growth but worth the time ... your gonna get a sweeter tomato 🤗
Nothing like a great mattress. I love your getting your kids news mattresses. The cows are making you get your steps in. Your view is amazing,..Happy HUMMINGBIRDS. So great! I will be making the jam!
Wow! I never hear of sun jam, but we are going to pick blueberries tomorrow and I have some foraged raspberries from our woods and store bought strawberries in the fridge so I think I will try it tomorrow! Thanks for sharing!
It will help because if you keep having flower production up top it will take away from the fruit that is already developing
I got my LMR apron in blue and I love it. It's made so well and a beautiful color. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you like it!
I live in Ontario Canada, I always top and fairly agreessively prune my tomatoes about 1 month before frost expected. Taking anything that only has flowers since they wont have time anyways. It really gets them ripening up what the plant has and energy not going to growing more.
Thank you so much!
I have found when we have a draught all the fruit concentrates ! Yummy !!
Chelsea I always had the same problem with scissors when sewing. So I took thin elastic and tied it to the sewing table. Well I was watching my granddaughter in the summer. She was about 5 or 6. Well she was making Barbie clothes and she needed a scissors so she just used the scissors to cut the elastic. I laughed so hard. She is now 34 and I still give her a bad time. I still can’t find scissors.
I top tomatoes. There is a bit of growth. It is a huge plus to size up the tomatoes and hopefully ripen them.
I got my downloaded cookbook and want you to know I'm very happy with it! The pictures are unbelievable and I appreciate all the good food recipes I saw. I'm going to start with the granola for sure. Breakfast will be cultured yogurt with granola and sweetened with my home grown and canned jam. So I really loved your different way to make it shown today.
You just made my day! Thank you so much.♥️ Would you be so kind as to leave a review on my website for it?
@@LittleMountainRanch DONE!
Great videos. Recently found you. Dill pickle video please!
Welcome! You got it!
Chelsea - I have lost probably literally at least a hundred pairs of sunglasses in my driving years. Last month I went to the dollar store and bought a sunglasses...leash? The kind you strap to both arms of em so they don't fall off your head? Fastened one side to my vanity mirror, one side to my glasses. Bam. Annoying as hell, but do you know what?? I haven't lost this pair yet! Ha! Sometimes you gotta work with yourself. Scissors on a string might be kind of annoying, but you won't lose the darn things! Do it! 😂
All your recipes and presentation looks so good! As always, love your garden walk/tour. I like seeing the progress of veggies/flower/fruit growth during the growing season. Thank you for sharing your busy day with us!
Always enjoy your channel, Chelsea!
hi there, great to see you got a smoke free day, how about running your own experiment and just topping half the tomatoes to see what works best in your situation?
And re the scissors, at least your family is never at a loss for what to get you as a present ...... !! think I have about 8 pairs of secateurs dotted around and still have to search at times :)
As always love your video ❤
Thank you so much!
Maybe an AirTag attached to your favorite tools would save you some time? For sure would save frustration!
Always love your videos!! Can’t wait to see the baby calf and ducklings.
Thanks for the recipes.
Yep! That losing of one’s very important garden tools is so darn maddening & frustrating. Been there many times 🥴. My other too frequent garden loss has been my glasses 👓…either from being distracted & putting them down somewhere, or being distracted and having them fall off while bending over…. One year I never did find them. However, the next spring my hubby found them while digging up the garden soil. Guess that falls into category of occupational hazards 😳. Hope your scissors “reappear” ….
What a fun video. Somewhere in a cookbook of mine, there is a recipe about car dried corn. I’m going to have to look that up once again. Love your hummingbirds so much. Right now (8:30 pm Minneapolis time) I’m watching one elusive hummingbird come in for his night feeding. And just the one brings me great joy. Thanks for sharing your lovely life with us. ❤️
This year I topped my tomatoes when they reached the top of my trellis, hoping they would focus energy on fruit setting before the heat rolled in. All was good and well until weeks later when I noticed a ton of side suckers everywhere flowering. Attack of the side shoots! If you're gonna top, keep up the sucker pruning or else! These tomatoes are on a mission for vigor. Love the video!
Thanks! That’s kinda what I thought would happen.
Chelsea before freezing the broccoli and cauliflower blanch it. This may keep it from turning rubbery in the freeze-drying process
I always blanch.😊
I have the same scissor problem. 😂
Getting great Raspberries in Princeton to.
Oh I’m gonna have to make that sun jam!
Glad the air has cleared up for you! It’s bad here in Northern Michigan too.
Your Ranch is magnificent!!
I’m glad you’re going to try a bit of the broccoli and cauliflower before freeze drying the bill of it. We did not care for it. Almost rubbery. Shredded zucchini is awesome for bread & muffins later and saves freezer space. 😊
Thank for taking the time to show us your corner of Canada! 🌺
I bought freeze dried garlic and it’s amazing to snack on😜
Chelsea, it's a good thing you don't wear a fit bit, I'm sure it would short out trying to stay up with you!😂
I'm thankful you've been gifted the Living Mattress. Good, restful sleep is so restorative and necessary. ❤
Love the tour of your property and livestock, it's the best!!
Hey, use a carabineer to attach your scissors to your harvest sack. Easy to attach and detach . Lol, I look like I'm out to scale mountains with my apron🤣
Easy as pie !!!
You may have mentioned it in past videos but pardon my spotty memory. Do you slaughter the cows that you raise(honey, milkweed, thistle, etc)? I wish you and your family the best Chelsea! Thanks for all these inspiring videos!
We slaughter the steers. The milk cows are just for milk.
@@LittleMountainRanch i had to google it…Mature female cattle are referred to as cows and mature male cattle are referred to as bulls. Colloquially, young female cattle (heifers), young male cattle (bullocks) and castrated male cattle (steers) are also referred to as "cows". (Wikipedia) You are so sweet to all your animals. I never met a live cow in person. Lol - Zee, N. Cali zone10a
TOPPING Tomatoes: Please let us know. your decision AND the time table. Last year, in SW MO Zone 6, I had sooooo many tomatoes set after cool down in Sept. A good thing but It was wild! Sometime in Oct I topped the 7 plants to encourage ripening of the fruit by Mid Nov (our actual1st frost last yr). I believe it worked??? . On 11-15 I rushed to harvest. I gave est 6-8 lbs of green fruit to a neighbor, w/large family. Picked all blushing & ended up canning into Dec! Again this yr , I'm supporting the plants, w/my TX survival tools...40% shade cloth, drip hoses, pruning etc thru another unusually hot/dry summer. Good problem repeat, I hope. LOL
PS: I'll never garden without Shade Cloth. Last yr everyone's plants burned up by July. As a former TX resident, I brought my TX tools with me to MO. Glad I did!
I’m making the fruit dump with Saskatoons & Haskaps that I picked at a friend’s orchard today! Thanks for sharing! Great vlog as usual! Blessings to all 🤗💗🇨🇦
I've never heard of or tried Sun jam! It's on my to do list this week!!
Nice
Thank for the video enjoyed it a lot
If you blanch your kale before you freeze dry them they are great.
Wow , your videos are so interesting . I learn so much every time! Thank you so much for sharing your life ! And now to make some sun jam. 😀
That jam looks delicious never heard of putting it in the car but makes sense will give that a try. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve been topping indeterminate tomatoes at 7-8ft and no issue with « bushying» too much. However I stay very much on top of suckers earlier in the season, so I think that makes it so that there is nothing left to branch out
Yes, I googled it and this is what I came up with..."Once topped, determinate plants won't produce any more fruit or grow any taller. Instead, they'll send their energy to ripen the remaining fruit. In turn, you shorten your growing season and reduce the size of your harvest. However, you can top indeterminate varieties."
💚 Love this Vlog..so much going on at LMR! Love that Sun Jam..never heard of that before..do you think you could use peaches?💚
Your cookie trays can be kept beautiful by using parchment paper.
I love all your videos they are so interesting and i have learned so much.
1 thing here in the uk we have self raising flour and plain flour is your flour called all purpose flour a mix of both types?.
Your cattle look amazing and so healthy, well your fruit and veg are truly something to be very proud of,what am i doing wrong i never get results like that and i try so hard.
I’m honestly not sure what self rising flour is… maybe mixed with baking powder?
i've never seen a sun jam before
Could you give her the topping recipe you use for your fruit crumble? Cause the one that you posted they didn’t make it like you did. Do you add anything besides the flour, butter, baking soda and vanilla? And you used sugar in yours where they used brown sugar in theirs.
My cucumbers have been coming one at a time so far but there are a ton of teensy weensy ones... could you please share the pickling process?? TIA. Oh... and soups fd absolutely wonderful in the fd. So if you don't have success with the others in the fd... try the finished soup.
Never seen that kind of jam, looks so delish but I’m a bit afraid of spilling (I’m prone lol).
What a beautiful measuring cup, Chelsea. May I ask where you sourced it?
It was gifted to me by a subscriber- it is so lovely! It’s a Pioneer Woman cup.
Hey, the sun jam looks amazing!!! I wanna try I but I do not use sugar ...do you think it would still work if I increase the honey to replace the sugar??
I make Jam with just honey all the time. I haven’t tried it with Sun Jam, but it’s worth a try.
I was surprised to hear you talking about how dry it is. It seems like you've been mentioning rain in many of your recent videos.
It’s been really really hot in between and so dry!
