The garden is BIG this year and so harvests will often be filmed separate from the tours themselves. In past years I' combined the two but I feel the need to split things up this year! Tomato and pepper harvest/preservation coming soon :)

Also, get yourself some of those wire trashcans from the Dollar tree. You can put them upside down over your seedlings to protect them until they are past the stage where the birds want to eat them.

Heather I truly just love your videos. I enjoy hanging out in the garden and kitchen with you so much. The garden is looking lovely.

You’re garden makes me smile 😊

Just want to say, you look beautiful in this thumbnail. Way to hold it down on the homestead while serving up brightness and Light. Xo

Those huge tomatoes at the end are so crazy looking! Amazing how that happens.

I just wanted you to know that you are the woman across the room to me !! I look up to you so much ! You have such a beautiful house and yard !! Oh my gosh such a lushest garden !! I want the knowledge of all the garden you have !

Heather you have such a beautiful garden, I just love watching you walking through telling us all about what you are growing. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.

Coffee time with Heather ❤❤❤

Heather, Nick with "Growing Back to Eden" YT channel, sells his compost tea. You get it wrapped in the burlap and you "brew" it. If you haven't seen him before, please keep in mind that he has severe lyme disease, also he's very young. He grows market gardens and they are beautiful. Anyways, his teas will fix your soil in the above ground bed that's newer. 😊❤

Last fall I collected all my ground cherries and made some homemade wine with them. I will admit while making it, it had quite a tomato smell so I almost threw it out. I'm so glad I didn't! After about 3 months I will admit it's some of the best wine I've ever made 😁

Beautiful morning... Beautiful garden! Blessings Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

That grapevine that's growing along the clothesline is cool! Watching your garden tours makes me want to get out and weed or something. If I wait long enough, I'm hoping that need will pass :) LOVE your "toddler head" comparison!!

Lovely garden 🥰. I grow Marconi peppers every year and when they turn red they are the sweetest most delicious pepper ever!! I grow them every year 🤩. Leftover peppers get roasted in the air fryer with a little oil, salt and pepper and frozen till needed 🤩

What a lovely walkthrough! I grew orange cherry tomatoes and orange slicers this year and the biggest tip I can give anyone growing these is to make sure they practically fall off the plant when you go to pick them, because if there is ANY resistance to picking, it's not ripe and the flavor will be lackluster. The first cherry tomatoes I tasted, comparing orange to red, I decided I really did not care for the orange ones at all. About a week later, though, I had a few that fell into my hand while harvesting, and those were a delight! So maybe the yellow ones are similar? The coloration may not be the only indicator of ripeness or developed flavor. Also, the Bonfire Peach trees the coloration and set of the leaves is normal. They MIGHT be a little too moist, but they like moist (not wet) soil consistently. Maybe consider draining some of the water (if feasible) from the reservior or plan to repot (in different kind of pot maybe) in the winter, when the trees are not growing. What's also normal is a few green fruits that start to soften or drop from the tree - you can pick off immature fruits on the same branch so they're at least 5 or 6 inches apart to help the tree choose which ones it will ripen and limit the stress on the plant. Also - my research says Bonfire Peaches are not very good eaten raw, but excel when used to make pies, preserves, or other cooked items. Last thing is airflow - you may want to consider pruning your trees a bit in late winter/early spring (before they bloom) to give the tree better airflow between the branches. Definitely prune any branches that are touching or rubbing against another so you limit the potential for disease or pests to be attracted to damaged bark. Our peach tree supposedly has 5 varieties all grafted onto the same tree, and the long oblong leaves usually cover fruit, which I would think helps protect it from birds and other things that want to pick at it before it's ripe.

Beautiful garden Heather! So exciting to be harvesting what you have worked so hard to grow. Great job fellow gardener!

Wow Heather, so much beauty and food! Great job little girl! 💜👍💜 Aunt Beth

Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘

Seeing your bean patch is a relief. I was going to ask on Discord about that. I got a couple good harvests and then it just stopped. The plants got bigger though and now I see more flowers. I didn't know they did that lol.

Sooo excited for the garden tours this year. Thank you for the longer video❤..Im sure it's alot of work from filming to editing!! Thank you always for your time and videos!!!

Wow !! Your garden looks great and those berries are so big i can't even imagine how yummy they must be... it's so exciting seeing how much your garden has grown. You and your husband are such a cute loving couple ❤❤. Thank you for all the great info you have given me in your vlogs. I get very excited every time i see that you have posted a new video. Try to stay cool. These hot days are among us ! Do your children help you when its time to pick some of your berries and veggies ? Or do they just take care of there garden ? Your garden is so big i can't imagine you doing it by your self. You are one hard working mama. 🥒🍅🍆🫑❤❤

Your garden looks awesome!❤

Top of the morning to you.

What a beautiful garden tour, so much to see and all kinds of wonderful things coming in to harvest now or soon! LOVE IT! I appreciate the longer videos for sure too, you share so much great info and it's a true pleasure to come along and listen to you 'share and tell'. I learn a lot and get to live a bit vicariously through you, and hope someday to have some of my own gardens too. The pumpkin patch is gonna be so amazing! Excited to see the upcoming videos you mentioned as well. Thank you, Heather! 💚💚

Hoi Heather! Hier in Nederland alleen maar regen. Het lijkt wel alsof het nooit zomer zal worden. Vandaag is het maar 13 graden celcius hier. Zoveel slakken in de moestuin. 😫 Het enige voordeel is dat we niet hoeven te slepen met gieters. Fijn om jouw tuin weer even te zien, dank je wel daarvoor. ❤

❤❤❤good video. ❤❤❤

I was always told you needed two of the grape vines so they can be pollinated off each other

I'm struggling this week but finding to find peace in the chaos. Trying to get things ready for canning and ordered 100 pk of forjars wide lids when I need regular mouth. I do have 20 or so wide mouth jars but I have about 100 regular mouth. I have zucchini coming out of my ears I've been shredding and freezing. Only my Roma tomato's (all have blossom end rot) I have not a single salvageable tomato so far for sauce. I'm on a tight budget and not able to purchase oyster shells so trying to research a home remedy if possible. The Japanese beetles are demolishing my blueberrys. It's been 100 + and unbearable outside except for very early and very late In the day. I'm blessed. I'm 1000 percent blessed with all this stress truly even my mess up ordering 100 of the wrong size lid. Watching your videos and seeing some of your struggles definitely helps me realize it's not just my garden struggling with the intense heat, little rain and weird soil problems I've never expiernced.

Your bindweed looks different than ours. Ours is really invasive and has small leaves. It sprawls and really chokes out our gardens. That one you have just looks like a morning glory to me. Can we trade? 😆

My Luffas are huge, the top of our trellis, is weighting down the top part. Ours have had lots of big blacks ant, and I’ve not noticed any damage to any of my plants so I’ve just left them be. But I betcha each of my luffa that I’ve got weigh close to 5 if not more pounds..

❤❤❤

I know i need to prune the grape vines here, but they are growing in the elderberry bush anyway, so its hard to even see what is what right now.

Love your garden ♥️… For your elderberry why don’t you make a farm stand and sell some or even elderberry syrup ?

For some reason the Barry's Crazy Cherry tastes better to me if it is sliced in half. I don't know why but the flavor really explodes then.

🙏❤

Stunning! About a week ago I feed my eggplants with fish immolation fertilizer because they had really struggled this year…this week they are all doing amazing! Heather, do you make homemade pimento cheese with your pimento’s?

I got rid of the aphids on my grapes… now they moved to one of my okra!🤦🏻‍♀️ this years garden with the aphids and tomato worm is really wearing on me!

Hope to build a B& B facilities or paying guest

Beautiful garden! Could you please tell me how wide is the 2 raised beds from each other? I did one, and my arch is different on the arch. Thank you for helping me.

I can’t focus on anything but the kittens in the background

Can you save the seeds for the Arm Pit melon?? I would love to buy some seeds from you for 2025.

I'm still amending all the beds I used Kelloggs I will never put that crap in my garden ever again. It is total crap soil.

Idk if you said but what are those big plants growing in between your tomato plants on the greenhouse. I have planted my pumpkin seeds 2 times and I can't get germination for some reason but last year it went crazy. I think I will grow ground cherries next year. So when cilantro goes to seed it isn't cilantro anymore? I was trying to let my cilantro go to seed and start learning how to save seed.❤

Hey Heather. Are you experiencing fewer than normal blooms on your tomatoes? I am assuming it’s due to the higher than normal heat starting in June and lack of rain we’ve been experiencing here in KY (and many other sounding states). I’m watering but I feel like the plants are battling the heat. They are growing like crazy but putting on few blooms. Second question. Are you having any issues with your tomatillo fruit turning yellow? I’ve grown them for years but this year a lot of my fruit are yellow.

a ton of peppers still no tomatos im starting to get discouraged a lil bit
