Your videos are a labor of love and dedication, my friend. The hard work you consistently invest in your craft is truly commendable. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

I actually giggled out loud when Elenor said, “this is a dirty situation”. 😂 Watching Grant’s face when helping you was a second giggle moment. So much fun to have the kids in the garden! We had a small amount of rain but we sure could use a lot more. My celery isn’t quite ready yet but I sure enjoyed hearing the crunch of yours. It made me excited for what’s to come here! Beautiful harvest, Kelsey!

They are such characters! Always giving me a good laugh. Aren’t those crunchy sounds satisfying?! Blessings to you and your garden. Thank you!!

Use the beets in your baking - beets pair up great with chocolate. Dehydrate and powder some of the beets.( can add to soups, stews, baking,- including with flour in breads and pastas, smoothies etc for extra vitamins) Make beet chips - beet hummus - add beets to potatoes to make latkes (potato pancakes) Add diced beets to risotto and rices - pair w apples to make muffins - red velvet cake -

You're awesome, fantastic ideas, thank you!

Grant is adorable, I miss my boys being young, but glad they grew up 😊

My husband's grandmother was polish and made red beet soup.I need developed a taste for itbut the rest of family loved it.

I could eat picked beets everyday. I mostly put them in my salads. Also good just on the side. Your garden looks so greens and healthy.

In your strawberry beds, or all over your garden, you can use diatomaceous earth is affectionately known as the DE. That’ll help you with your slugs, Mill mill bugs, earwigs, any other creepy crawlies

Children are the most observant humans on the face of the earth and will always tell you like it is. “This is a dirty situation!” 🥰 I just about cried laughing! What a beautiful way to spend the day!!! 💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. So beautiful that you are introducing the garden and all the things that go along with it to your children at an early age. I wish I had known early so I could have imparted the importance of it to my children. My 3 kiddos now think this is just my newest hobby! 🤣 But they are more than happy to partake in the spoils when it’s done! Great video and great job!!! 💜

I think you can shred beets and make a beet and carrot salad !

slice thin and season and dehydrate for snacking chips or make Borche soup or the things to make soup

Overgrown cucumber is good idea. You can leave a few of these for seeds and you will have your own planting material for the next season.

We don't like beets, but we do like to make beet kvass. It's a fermented beverage that's pretty good and has a lot of health benefits. Just beets, water, and salt. I bought an electric pressure canner this year (about $100) for small batch canning and so I don't have to watch it. It's been so nice for doing just a couple of pints/quarts of green beans every couple days.

Beautiful garden. Between the fires in Canada - the extreme heat and heavy rain my garden is looking very sad. Lost cucumbers, squash and peppers. Such a heart break as I worked so hard putting the garden in. I enjoy watching what you make with your harvest. So adorable that your children are big helpers

Try and make no tomato pasta sauce also called nomato sauce. The flavor and color mimics regular tomato sauce, without containing any tomatoes. The main ingredient is red beets. It’s super delicious and can be pressure canned.

If you like smoothies or healthy green beverages you can freeze the beets and make a powder for your yummy juices, same if you have an overstock of celery. It's easy and it'll last very well. You can also ad it in soups, stews, creams. Also for the beet powder it can be added to salsas and even oatmeal and yogurts. Awesome harvest, your veggies looks so lush and healthy. 🐞🐝

You can juice the beets for fresh beet juice and freeze some for juice later I give my family beets, celery, cucumber and occasionally carrots juiced together as a breakfast drink. Get those nutrients straight into those bodies. I say occasionally to the carrots because if the beets are sweet the carrots will make it even sweeter.

Beet preparation option for preserving vitamins for the winter: take beets, dried apricots, raisins and honey, cut into pieces or grind, mix, bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, then put it into sterile jars. Another option is simply to store root crops in the cellar and take them as needed. If the cellar is dry, root vegetables can be placed in a box of sand and moistened from time to time. Beets are preserved in the cellar until spring, and in spring some of the root crops can be planted on seeds. For storage in the cellar, it is best to remove beets from the bed in late autumn. In the garden, it retains itself better than in any storage. If winter is mild in your area, you can leave beets in the garden altogether and take when you need to right from the garden bed.
