Brings back memories when I was 13 I went to live with my aunt in Lawrenceville Georgia, I met a girl we would walk all over she showed me the orchards and said let's pick a couple peaches to eat as we walk,me not knowing went along with her. Well the owner caught us and scolded us said if you want peaches come around to the market side I'll give you a basket full. So we went and got a bushel basket took it back to her house and I got to make fresh peach ice cream and eat it for the first time. Such a special memory.

Yes you can harvest the rhubarb this year. It is very prolific. I had a stranger ask one year to harvest some of the rhubarb that I had growing along the driveway. I said yes. They took ALL of the stems that they could (a 20 X 4 foot bed). I hadn't been watching ... Well they did me a very huge favour because the rhubarb put on new growth. I ended up with the best harvest of tender stems I had ever had.

Living in germany, we are not harvesting rhubarb in the late year. After it goes into the later summer season, there is a higher among of nutriance in it, which can cause some kidney stones. So we harvest till the middle / end of June and let the rest doing it thing. (Ofcourse the summary of consumption is always to consider, when you think about risks.) Also I think that it's always a good thing to leave enough leafs on the plant, because they die back. And in my opinion it would help the roots to develop, when the plants are left alone this year. So the plants can get everything what they can get and suck it into the roots for coming good over the wintertime period. (But for everyone which is experiences other things, keep in mind that living over the big pond, the climate and culture - might be also the type of plants - are not similar to your area. So I don't give any advice. It's only something which came into my mind, when I watched the video and read this comment. // That we would do it different over here) Rhubarb benefit of getting split and replanted into fresh places after a few year. Which is giving the plant a fresh boost. I think that is what you are actually able to see. Some roots which only had a few new greens in the earlier days of the year and a fresh place where you planted and it BOOOOSTS.

Hi Becky, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that you should not let your rhubarb go to seed as it gets bitter. Also, it will die back after the frost and come back in the spring. You can also use it to replace lemons in a recipe. 😉

Hi Becky, Thinking about your abundance of plums, I thought I would pass along a trick I learned from Chef Alton Brown on his TV cooking show. What you do is make a whole lot of pie filling (in Georgia I'm always covered up with blueberries and peaches, but I'm sure there is a plum pie recipe out there that would work). Take one of your big cooking days and make it a Pie Day. Once your filling is ready, and cooled, pour some in each of your pie pans. I only have 2 pans, so I have to do this in batches. Then freeze the filling in the pie pan. Once frozen, take it out of the pan and put it in a freezer bag or vacuum seal bag (lasts longer). If you have trouble getting it out, you can first line your pan with saran wrap. I never do that, I just turn it over and run hot water over the bottom of the pan for a second or two until it releases. I have these discs lined up in my freezer like books on a shelf. Whenever I want a pie I just roll out my pie dough (and if I know you, you already have a bunch premade), plop in a filling disc that is the perfect shape, let it sit on the counter for 20 mins or so, and bake. You could probably bake it right from frozen, letting it cook for an extra 10-15 mins, but I don't know. I've never done that. The beauty is that all the mess is confined to one time. On the day I want a pie, all I've dirtied is my rolling pin and pie pan. Easy-Peasy. And, although you get sick of tomato pie in the summer, to have one in February, from your own home-grown tomatoes, that is easy and ready in no time, would be a real treat. Cheers.

Hey Becky! If you didn't know, Harvest Right has come out with the new home pro model of freeze driers, and if you have the older model, you can get a new rack for inside that has room for 5 trays instead of 4! You just have to call harvest right and tell them which model you have and they will send you the new interior rack! If you weren't aware, that would get you an extra tray for each batch. :)

I was ready to sit for the rest of the day…….but watched your video and headed out to the garden instead to harvest some abundance from my small garden to preserve. Thank you for the initiative to get busy!!

I’m in SoCal. My Rhubarb was a start from the garden center. Within a year I HAD to harvest. I pulled those outter stalks leaving about 30% of the plant. And it comes back. In your area, I’d think you need to leave a bit more to get through winter. Mixed berry rhubarb pie filling is awesome over yogurt!! And remember the leaves are toxic! Don’t give to chickens!!

Good morning friend! We were at the farmers market today to buy peaches from the farmer. He told us to come out to his farm and pick them ourselves for 1/5 the price of already picked peaches… you know where I’ll be tomorrow. We did end up buying a few today though. They are SO GOOD!

Hey Becky, I worked on my first freezer meal day….I got half way through and am already exhausted. Lol I did complete 6 freezer meals out of the 12 I planned to do. I am certainly okay with that for my first time. I will finish the other six during the week. You are such an inspiration and I appreciate you.

You could try planting the plum stones and see what happens

When I was a kid, my parents and us went and "worked" the orange, fig, and strawberry fields on Saturday and in payment we got to keep a certain amount of our harvest. Towards the end of the harvest season, if there were still fruit on the trees, we could pick all we wanted for free. We had all the fruit we could eat plus enough for mom to preserve and it would last us all year long. They don't do that anymore. I am so excited for you and harvest season. I keep editing this comment. What I did with the kale this year is blanch it, plop it in cold water, squeeze the water out while forming them into pucks, froze them and put them in ziploc bags. Now I can throw them into dishes for a pop of green.

I was told not to pick any rhubarb the first year and that they are very heavy feeders. I put chicken manure pellets on every year. This year the stalks were about 4 foot long. 😊

I'm so happy for you and Josh. I can only imagine going out for an evening stroll and picking plums from my own orchard. I can't wait for my tomatoes to reopen so I can try to make a tomato pie.

Becky, just a tip from one mom to another. Thise fresh peaches, plums, and pears make wonderful baby food when pureed. The peaches that you have already canned will also be great for Baby Acre.

Hey Becky, the rhubarb is doing amazing. It really does like water, so I'm glad it's irrigated. Pick a few from each plant. I know they say you shouldn't, but if you take a couple, the plant will honestly be fine. Get used to the idea that your mature plants will be huge. 😊

Hi Becky, last year I made cinnamon-plums, they are really delicious on sweet dishes. Just cut them in Quarters (or smaller if you like) then pour over a mixture of water, sugar and cinnamon (ratio to your liking) and waterbath-can it for 15 Minites (long enough for fruits according to the Weck-preserving book, wich is the most common over here in Germany)

She always looks aglow, as busy as she seems to be with all the harvesting, family life and day to day, it might seem one of the videos her hair would be messy and her eyes tired, but somehow she puts it all together, keeps it all together. The incredible Becky, 😎 🙃🙂 She is a star! 🤩👏

10:22 Plum onion jam (like your fig & onion jam) is also very good. Have you considered a fruit picking pole so you can reach higher fruit without having to haul out a ladder? I’ve seen them with up to a 24’ pole. 37:50 I wonder if freeze dried tomato slices could be used for a tomato pie in the off season. 🤔 I always hear Jess (Roots & Refuge) in my head when tempted to buy any kind of tomato other than cherry/grape off season. “Grocery store tomatoes taste like disappointment.”

We have a farm here in Australia 🇦🇺 and I put a large tarpaulin on the ground around the plum trees and then shake the tree. Much easier than picking.😊

Hi Becky, you look so pretty in lavender! I was so glad to see you feed the girls. I bet they are loving the surplus. The harvest is looking great. Love your channel and can't wait until the next episode.

I was gifted some fresh freestone peaches. So beautiful. But way too many. So I wanted to use your idea of preserving them by turning the into something else. You had mentioned a book called Freezer Fresh, I'm not sure it was this video. I just came back to leave this comment, sorry. Anyway, I had also seen Sarah on Living Traditions Homestead say she really loved it too. So I got it and on page 228, there is freezer recipe for Roasted Peach Jam for the freezer. I made it last night, I got seven pints of the best jam I've ever made and I used those hard sided containers you recommended for the freezer and it was perfect. What a success. Thank you Becky. I know you would love that recipe. Maybe another video on it, please. You are wonderful Becky. Susan

I noticed that your freeze dryer had gone back to freeze mode and your trays were frosty. I lost an entire load because of the condensation on the trays. I now use the warm trays mode to make sure that doesn't happen again. It's so frustrating to have to throw food away. I so enjoy all your posts. You always are so upbeat and fun to watch, you make everyone feel like a friend. Thank you for all you do.

Wow what a great harvest! So happy everything is growing so well for you! Its not easy and takes years to get good at it you are an inspiration for what hard work can do!

That pie looks delicious 💞. In the North East a tomato pie is actually made on pizza crust. It has tomato/pizza sauce with fresh sliced tomatoes and herbs on top- no cheese. It is served cold and it's so good. Might be something you'd like to try.

Becky I see that you bring a basket to the garden to pick your produce and I think you a bigger container for the quantity of produce you have, maybe you should bring out a pull wagon with you and some tools and gloves 🧤

Hi Becks, I'm not a canner. I've never known how, but I'm learning so much from watching you. I love you canning videos ❤

For my tomato pie, I dice my tomatoes, salt them in a colander to sit in the fridge overnight. This keeps them from being watery and a whole piece does not come out when you cut it. They are delicious! I use the basic recipe from Grits and Groceries in Due West. SC, Hattie Mae's tomato pie.

Yeah!! Love peaches and love getting a post from acre homestead- you are inspiring me to get up and do some preserving. I am canning cherry tomatoes and pickled coleslaw today!

Have you ever tried a plump crumble tart? It’s a Shortcrust with Plums layering on top of it and than hoped wir buttery crumbles. We call it Zwetschgendatschi in Germany and it’s soooo delicious. Plummy and buttery 😍😍

Fruit trees have a life span. That happened to the apricot tree that was with the house we bought. We got fruit for 2 years and then it stopped producing. Same thing happened with the avocado tree but we had that producing for about 10 years after we bought then it stopped.

Your recipe is almost identical to the one I make. Just made one this morning for lunch and then I open your video and you were doing the same. Also if someone wants to exclude the mayo, they can mix the shredded cheese with an herbed cheese like Boursin or even cream cheese and it is still really good.

Hi Becky, Beautiful plums. Good that you picked up the plums from the ground. You can use it to prepare alcohol or just simply discard them elswhere if they are damaged. Thisway you will have less fruitfly around and overwinter below the tree, plus less worms in the next year crop.

I love tomato pie but I have always used ricotta in place of the mayo. Sometimes I add an egg as well... delicious!

Hi Becky! Just so you know, the rhubarb plants are very effective and you can harvest from them multiple times during the season - but actually the best time for picking the stems is before August starts. The taste right now is the same, but chemically it contains a lot more oxalates now than in early summer. Just a heads up! Also, it seems like you have a fantastic year for fruit, that is so nice to see! :)

Plum crumble is one of my absolute favourite desserts.... definitely recommend 😊 freezes beautifully too!

Blue lake bush is my favorite. I can them every year, you might laugh which is ok, but ever since I was a child I would go out in my garden and pick the first tomato and sit in the middle of the garden and eat the warm juicy sweet tomato lol I will be 70 this year June and I still do it lol

I just bought Vivids this year and they are for real the sweetest peaches I’d ever eaten. Made great pie and preserves with them.

So happy for your beautiful produce. So glad former owner left. That was so giving
