A little hint about the Cantaloupes. They will detach themselves when they are really ready. You can pick them a little early, but they're even better when they separate from the vine themselves. Gorgeous harvest!
Thanks for the tip!
actually, when theyre off the vine their over ripe, if you like them overripe then this is a great tip!
@@justinbeeber1641 I just harvested cantaloupes from my vines and they had separated, 2 of them were not fully ripe, the rest were ripe exactly where they should be.
That is right
Great harvest❤
My husband’s garden is a work of art. He is retired and this is his hobby. He enjoys growing and giving produce to neighbors, friends and family. Their thanks means everything to him.
That sounds beautiful 💚 I am sure your neighbors really appreciate his generosity too! 😀-Cara
where do you live I want to help and get produce! lol what a blessing he is
i used to live in a real rural area wirh a garden almost as big as yours. when i turned 15 my parents decided to move to a neighbouring town and ever since then something has been missing. i am 20 now and i had a suspicion before, but this exact video made me realise what it is thats missing, this is exactly the life i always wanted ❤
Aww that warms my heart to know that I could have contributed to a spark for gardening being ignited in you :) I hope you find someway to make your garden dreams a reality. Even if your space is limited I hope you can enjoy some gardening this year! (Pots on balcony's are great! )-Cara
Hopefully 1 day you'll get back to the countryside 😊
4:01 the way your face lit up when you heard those birds was so sweet to see. The joy and admiration on your face was so genuine. So glad i found your channel. I look forward to seeing more (:
You are so kind! 💚 Thank you 😊 It is hard not to be joyful when nature is so beautiful. -Cara
Tip for the pests, set up birdhouses along the perimeter of your garden! those finches will work for free, picking all the bugs out of your garden, especially shiny bugs like beetles. All natural pesticide!
Yesss
What a great idea!!
Don't worry about Japanese beetles. Let them feast. They are naturally pruning your plants. They are all gone after one month and the plants they eat flourish
Mate, Japanese beetles are invasive and incredibly damaging to not just crops, but our native plants. They're an epidemic and one we're failing to control here in the U.S.
I wish I could make a garden like this I’d probably be more at peace ❤
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6&7.
I hope you find true peace. I love to garden and it is peaceful to me, but one of the real reasons I enjoy it is because it makes me think of how good my Creator is. God could have created just one type of flower, but instead He made endless varieties. It’s realizing little stuff like that everyday brings my heart Joy. 💛
I love this kind of videos for the winter time. Keeps me afloat until spring 😅
Thank you! Same here, the garden harvest videos make me long for summer crops again :) -Cara
I love that you take the moments to notice and share those beautiful things taking place, like the storm coming in, the bees on the flowers, the birds. It is always a pleasure to take the time to smell the roses so to speak. Never let those moments pass you by. And yes...lol, You have a very nice harvest, despite the squash beetles. Happy Harvesting Season! 😊🤠
Thank you 💚 The little things in nature bring me such a joy. There really is beauty everywhere if you look 😊- Cara
Cara, your harvest and display are stunning - GREAT job!!!
Thank you so much 😊
Have fun 🤩
😊
The yellow/orange tomatoes look kind of like mini pumpkins. 😅😅 Delicious 😋
Oh yeah they kind of do haha
That looks about the size I’ve seen all the honeynut squashes in markets. They are small but their flavour is unmatched.
There flavor is really delicious, I will be growing them in my garden again for sure :) -Cara
You are so delightful!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you so much! 😊 💚🌿
Your garden is so beautiful with lots and lots of food.❤❤
Thank you so much! 💚
Wow hydrangeas, just gorgeous
I'm in
La. Those are hearty here😘
Thank you 💚 They are one of my favorite plants!
Your garden is so beautiful!!! This is a dream of mine to have one day❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏽
Thank you💚🌿 I hope you have your dream garden one day! -Cara
Your harvest is gorgeous it makes me feel ashamed of my two tomato plants and my two pumpkin plants still growing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Also don’t be ashamed at all! Any garden is a great garden 😊😊😊 -Cara
such a cute name for that lemon drop pepper and the pepper looks cute too
Aren't they! I find that the tiny cute peppers often pack a spicy punch haha.
The BEST cherry tomato salad is just cherry tomatoes, cut in half, olive oil, vinegar of your choice, salt, pepper, onion, and basil. My grandmother used to make this salad when we would have lunch at her place in the summer.
YUMM! That sounds delicious! I can't wait until harvest season is in full swing and we can eat fresh tomatoes straight from the garden again.
Massive harvest. Loved to watch. Keep smiling and growing food. Cantaloupe gives out a vein at the tip where fruiting begins. This vein dries up and becomes crispy. That's the sign that Cantaloupe is ready to harvest. Melons, squashs, gourds too.
Thanks for the tip about harvesting the cantaloupe! I will try to look out for that. -Cara
Watching you pick from your harvest is honestly so relaxing ❤
What a beautiful harvest! Thanks for sharing with us!! 😄
yeah, birds are fantastic creatures! They have different colors.... We have a couple of rare birds around the area that are hanging by casually. Maybe, I can make a bird house next week!
I love watching birds too. What kind of rare birds do you see?
Omg I love your channel 😭🤩Thanks ❤
My friend had so many problems with those beetles that she was going outside and collecting them with her kids and just feeding buckets of them to her chickens
That’s a great idea! The kids help me pick japanese beetles off into buckets. We gave them to our chickens but no one ate any haha 😂
You made my day being so joyfull! Noticing these beautifull small details like wisteling of the birds and taking the time to take it in, is something I admire. It made me realise I live so hastely. Have a lovely day!❤
I need to remind myself to slow down and admire the little things too. It is something I try to be intentional about every day, but it is not alway easy in the haste of the day. -Cara
Very beautiful garden ❤❤❤❤❤
Omg, i love your garden
Great video, Cara! I love that you include the birds and flowers😊 I think cantaloupe harvest is tricky, so much so that I usually just wait until they harvest themselves by dropping off the vine(so I support mine in mesh bags).
nice work cara keep it going
also a beutiful garden that u have
Wow such a beautiful place you have and weather is also perfect❤
Wow you have some huge tomatoes. Now I harvest my cantaloupe when they turn orange or yellow but, Great harvest
Yeah they were! Good to know!
what an AWESOME harvest day! Deep in the middle of winter, with snow and ice here in New England, so looking for these harvest videos gets me in the mood. Sowed some seeds indoors this week, but its still 8 weeks until anything goes outside. Closer to 10-12!
Well done
Thank you 😊
Lemon drop peppers are amazing really great in a mixed pepper jelly! Thank you for the intro to honey nut squash!

She looks so peaceful, I started gardening this year and I can say it is relaxing and calming watching everything grow and so exciting as well
This video makes me really happy. It feels so real compared to content I’ve been trying to find on other platforms. This is my dream and I hope I can have a garden this beautiful. I just feel so hopeless I have no idea where to start but your energy makes me feel like it’s possible! I subscribed so maybe your videos will continue to give me hope.

Wow Cara your garden looks amazing and what a harvest.
Thanks so much!
Wow! Awesome harvest. Beautiful ❤
Thank You 😊
The video is awesome, the garden is lovely and you are beautiful. I also have a garden and trying to develop it like yours. Had to start from scratch and had already drained all my savings. However, in two years it will be something to show. Thanks for the video that made my day
Awesome harvest Cara. Those large tomatoes are amazing.
Thank you so much 😊
Japanese beetles are predated upon by a wasp that is attracted to goldenrod. If you kept a small stand of goldenrod on the edge of your yard you may have less trouble with the japanese beetles.
That is a great tip! We have lots of golden rod in our fields. How close to the garden to you recommend it be? I’d say right now it is a few hundred feet.
That’s a plentiful harvest! It looks so pretty on the counter.🥒🥒
thank you 😊
I just love the vibes and the music in this video! Just discovered your channel! ❤
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching 😊

Love those little fold finches also! Bird watching is such a beautiful experience! Taking time to enjoy the little things is so important ❤ Your harvest is abundant!!!!
Bird watching is so much fun isn’t it?! I think God gives us so many little blessings like that , it’d be a shame not to stop and appreciate them 💚🥰
@@bluebirdhomestead100% agree!
love this type of lifestyle, so peaceful!
Us too! 😊💚
Beautiful harvest 😊
Thank you!
I have a garden in my backyard, that’s not quite as big but it’s stuffed with lots of stuff so this video is a nice reminder of the nice weather of the late summer and autumn. I love being outdoors and harvesting my own vegetables like I’m independent
Loved watching this. I’m watching all the garden videos to get me through winter. Can’t wait to get back out in the garden and hopefully record to post on here more. Beautiful harvest!
Garden videos keep me going all winter long too!😊 That and placing way too many seed orders haha. What are you missing most about your garden? -Cara
@@bluebirdhomestead honestly just being out there and watching the progress. I’ve been getting out and getting it all cleaned up and ready for spring. But it’s not as fun when you don’t get to watch things grow 😂
The Hydrangea is gorgeous they remind me of the old lady swim caps 😂. The garden is looking stunning Cara and what a glorious bounty to feed your family. Have a super week be safe in the storm ⛈️, Ali 🇨🇦
Thanks so much
Love your garden and have been missing my own garden enjoy while you can time flys. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💚❤️🥰🤗
Thank you so much 😊
Love this video. Lots of variety being harvested. One of my favorite parts is when the kitty cat comes to visit haha You have earned a new sub today. Looking forward to seeing other videos especially the drip irrigation
Welcome! Thank you so much for watching and following along! 😊😊Our cat loves to hang out with me in the garden, she is such a sweetheart. If you are interested we do have a video on our channel about how we installed the drip irrigation: Drip Irrigation System For Raised Beds Using Drip Tape

Hi Cara, Good morning from Windermere, Florida zone 9b.
We have enjoyed two cool mornings, 68°! But the rest of the week is hot again and going up to the 90's. But Autumn is slowly arriving. 🍁
Your Garden is definitely abundant and must help a lot with your grocery bills.
I see you are getting close to 5K subscribed 👍🏆👍
Take care
❤Peggy❤
The Harvest Table scene is incredible and 2lb. 1.7oz. whoa👍
The cooler mornings have been so lovely! We have really been soaking them up. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. When I lived in Florida I missed the fall colors, but enjoyed warmer winters for sure haha -Cara
I love the adventures with Dale! He sure is cute!!
😀
Beautiful harvest❤
