Awesome! I just pulled mine up this morning! Also, Yukon gold
Yay!
Thanks for posting your video Great advice and such happy kids
Thank you!
We have so many blackberries right now. I’m ready for blueberries to make muffins. Looks amazing!
I love getting all the summer fruit! We're getting tiny amounts of blueberries. Most never make it to the house!
What temperature?
I cook them on about medium heat...you want the pan pretty hot so they cook fast! But not so hot that they burn
Chocolate makes anything good… even zucchini lol😂
Haha yes!
Mariah do you have some sort of a lock on all of the chocolate chips in the US right now? Gosh I would have loved if you were my mom when I was growing up growing up! Dark Chocolate is my cryptonite!
@@CreedmoorFury haha! I love chocolate, especially dark, so...I sneak it in!
Growing brocoli is so hard 😅 great job!
Thanks! It did feel so hard! I got another harvest today, probably right before it bolted!
We never get it to grow
It's a finicky thing!
Broccoli from the garden is so amazing 😋 It is super exciting when you get to harvest!
Yes! I was so surprised at how good it was!
What sort of flour is best? Is all purpose ok? Thanks
All purpose is fine! I use about 3/4 all purpose and 1/4 whole wheat, but all purpose works just as well
Loved the video! What kind of needle and thread did you use?
Just a regular sewing needle and sewing thread!
@@TheBabcocks ok thanks!!
Hello The Babcocks hello anyway I am starting to tell other family vlogs about you that way you have more friends but i have to stop for now and it's because I have a major head cold as well:).
Thank you! I hope you feel better soon!
That’s what I want to try next. Maybe in my grow bags that are empty in the winter
Good idea! Plant them after you take your sweets out, then they'll be ready in May and you could plant sweets late.
We love sweet potato fries!
Sweet Potato Fries are one of my favorites because they very healthy and very helpful for everyone's health anyway The Babcocks here are a couple of family vlogs you will have a lot of fun being friends with Rachel Smyer and The Sites Family and JustTheStus and KaysLife and Makenzie Robinson and SK&J Family and 4TheGreens and LuLu And Maeby and Pizano Family and Scarlett & Mama ♥️ and DannieDecent and DannieDecentVlogs and Izzy and Paisley's kidz club ♥️ and Ava, Kya, Mason & Nori and Giles Family and Cassie Green and The Free Livin Fam and Fig 5 Adventures and The Corwin Family and The Platon Twins and GriffinFamVlogs and Carrie Corrado as well:).
They're so yummy !
Everything lokks amazing and delicious thank you 🎉❤🎉
Thank you!
You are welcome ❤🎉❤@@TheBabcocks
Mouth watering greatness! Bookmark...
Thanks!
if i use half the quantity of ingredients will it turn out the same? just want to make enough tortillas for 1 or 2 people
Yup! I do this all the time...make as many or little as I need.
@@TheBabcocks Ok thank you for the fast response! definitely saving this video :)
@@Phoenix-jd4yf I hope they do well for you!
I can't wait til I can freeze dry some broth!! So jealous!
It was pretty neat! And hopefully helps me use it a little easier!
So far no ants for us!
That's good! They're so bad!
Maybe a small bin in the cabinet would work well for storage and just line them upright in the container, or a milk crate even.
My cupboards are full! My kitchen is about 8'x6' and the cupboards are mostly full of canned goods!
I'm glad to hear the good and the bad, I really want to get one of these once we're finished building the house. I definitely appreciate the tips to make it a better experience.
Thanks! I think it will be better once we have a designated space for it inside, and also more storage space!
So helpful!! We really want to get one but need a good plan on using it
Good idea!
Everything is looking so good!!
Thanks! I feel like it's changed so much even since then!
Really good info! I have debated if it’s a good idea or not. It sounds like it definitely depends on what the family eats.
Definitely! I know a lot of people throw their leftovers in there for mre's but I don't have room for such things!
Thanks! I have thought about something like this. I just want dried strawberries
I think I heard they're currently on sale. Maybe $500 off?
Hello that is great information and good to know. Here are some channels that maybe able to help you. Cathy at @Living Miracle Homestead, she lives in Florida and Lisa at @Yogi Hollow Farm and she lives in South Dakota. I am sure there are others but I know they use theirs alot. Have a wonderful day God bless stay safe and love yall
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll have to check them out
You are welcome 🎉🎉🎉@@TheBabcocks
I forgot you guys are in upstate SC too! Bethany said let me just try and sneak some strawberries real quick 😂😂 I think my kids will be grabbing ours all up once we grow them too 😅. You've got so much growing!! We've been having storms so it's hindering my planting, I'm about to have to suck it up and just get it done rain or not 😂.
Haha, I'm definitely not getting any tastes from those strawberries! It was so dry and now so wet! A friend of mine also needs to finish planting and I'd love to help her but it's tricky between storms. I hope you get it done soon and have a good crop!
Hello The Babcocks hello i am a new subscriber anyway i believe a q&a video would be a fun thing for you to do so i have fun questions for you what is your favorite movie and what is your favorite TV show and what is your favorite place you like to go to for vacation and to me i believe you are a homestead family so what is your favorite plant that you like to grow and what is your favorite food that you like to grow and make and what is your favorite food that you like to eat and I have a fun question for Bethany and Anna what would Bethany and Anna like to be when they grow up and if you would like to visit another country which country would you like to visit and what is your favorite animal and what is your favorite state that you like to go to for vacation and what is your favorite drink and I'll consider you a very wonderful family just for fun as well:).
Good questions! I haven't ever done a q&a but I'll keep these in mind if I do one!
This is indeed very heartwarming and very wonderful and very adorable and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid as well:).
Aww I'm glad it brought back happy memories!
So much variety!
Yup! Gotta keep things interesting!
Can't plant here, won't stop raining. Garden is a mud hole. LOL I like your greenhouse. We covered our chip garden with a black plastic tarp this year to help with the weeds. I can't get the tarp off because it's covered with water. lol TAke care.
Oh no! I hope it dries out so you can plant!
Now it’s raining. Good job 😊
Yes! Happy dance!!
Taters are a realy good crop to build confidence. You almost can't do it wrong as long as you keep the roots covered and blocked from the sun. This year I am experimenting with planting fully sprouted taters vs unsprouted and ... pulling off a few sprouts and rooting them in potting soil a month or two before last frost indoors. I like the concept of planting out full grown potato starts will full top leaf growth just after last frost.
That sounds like a fun experiment! I planted some earlier with super long sprouts, over a foot long. And the potatoes were super tiny. They are looking amazing currently! Can't wait for new potatoes! Last years crop was awful. I planted 50 lbs of seed and ended with about 80 lbs. So many rotted in the ground.
I have found potatoes to be really fun! And because they actually grow. Makes it easier. Love Yukon gold
Yes! They're great!
They are getting so grown up 🥺
Yes! Anna picked so quick this year
I made some recently. They’re just so much dryer than the yogurt bite baby food that they sell at stores. Me and my kids just rather eat the yogurt 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder how the store bought ones are made. This batch was definitely drier than my previous batch but I'm not sure how that happened. And of course this time around no one is interested in eating them!
We have so many berries. Almost a container a day. We found a cool pick your own grape place. And it was fun to try different varieties
That's exciting! I should plant more plants so I can just pick my own! Is the grape place open now? Or later in the summer?
Hello! Your kids are getting so big.
Hi Nikki! They're growing fast!
Glad y'all are safe, flooding is scary stuff!
Thanks! Yeah it was scary! Not something I'm used to dealing with
Hello wow I am so glad you all made is safely home, water is awful and i know what it is like wanting to get home and driving through the water. After that one time never again. Thank you for sharing God bless and stay safe
Thanks! It was so crazy!
You are welcome, and yes it can be 🎉🎉🎉@@TheBabcocks
Totality is worth it
We had 94% here in MI. So fun! My son was able to drive to Ohio to see totality though, and that was a memorable day for him!
That's cool that your son was able to see totality! My grandparents are in Ohio and got to see it as well
Now that I know I’ll be old for the next one. I’m glad I’ve seen a total eclipse. Also I went to Birmingham once. And the city smelled bad.
Haha, it'll be close to us next time. We drove around Birmingham so I didn't get close.
What an adventurous trip, so fun!! I agree about Atlanta! It's horrible! We've been to 32 states so far with our kids and have hit Altanta maybe 4 or 6 times, not sure, but dread it every time!...It's the worst city we've ever had to drive thru! lol
It's pretty nuts! I especially hate it towing a car behind us, which thankfully we didn't this time.
Do you want some orange mint? Mine is propagating like crazy and I'm not a huge mint fan but I also can't help but keep potting it up when it sends out runners. lol I was so sad my apple mint didn't make it though. I might try growing some lemon mint this year too. And 100% yes live seed planting would be super fun.
I've never tried orange mint. I'm not sure where I'd put it currently but maybe someday?
Oh my goodness how cute!! 😍
That is a lot of work! But if I was going to travel this would definitely be the way to do it, it’s basically a house on wheels, I love it!
It is a lot of work, but yeah, easier than the car!
My kids love canned soup. Use them camping a lot.
That's a good idea
Sounds like a fun trip. The totality was cooler than the partial. He looks so focused at the end.
Definitely cooler! I'll have a video of it soon. He was focused!
I’m going to try this! I was so scared to break mine into pieces…. If I can find where I hid it 😅
I have extra if you want some!
Happy birthday Bethany❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
