Heres all my other garden tours!!! July/August last year are probably some of my favorites! Peak summer is something else! Garden Tour Playlist - ru-vid.com/group/PLv1FZQSn2QY4FWK5VNU4dpsLbkbSgg0hi
I love your enthusiasm. You mentioned cabbage. I too had a problem growing spring cabbage successfully. Now I grow varieties "tiara" and "Caraflex". they are 45-50 days to maturity which permits me to get a good harvest before it gets too hot and before the cabbage moth becomes a problem. You may be able to find varieties like that for your area. While the cabbages are small (1-2 pounds) they can be grown much closer together so you're getting a decent harvest per square foot. I hope this helps
Southern Collards: Fry Bacon in a pot and remove, leaving the grease in the pot. Add your cleaned and chopped collards. Sauté collards for 3-5 minutes. Add two cups of broth of your choice. Add 1tsp. Of salt, a half Tsp. Of pepper, a half of tsp. of sugar and tsp. of lemon juice. Return bacon to the pot. Cover and let simmer, until desired tenderness. Check occasionally to see if more broth is needed. Less salt can be used if you’re worried about the salt from the bacon.
@@ScottFidler anything goes if that’s what you like! Just providing an easy recipe for her to try. I traditionally eat black eyed peas with collards. Those usually contain the ham hock.
Garlic is looking fantastic as the onions Bre❤ You can keep the Brassica’s in it if you cover with light plant shade cloth so the white butterfly doesn’t get in…
The recommendations for those elderberry varieties say to make sure they're within 50 foot of each other and in direct eye line so the pollinators have an easier time of finding them. It's hard to see from the video but you may want to move the Lace a little closer to the other while they're flowering. They both look lovely! I have those and the third one that goes with the set, I forget the name. I'm hoping for my first elderberries this year too.
You only said “excited” 12 times in the entire video and I loved every moment of it! You also said “impressed” once and “disappointed” twice so all in all, EXCITED WINS! And we are all excited to watch you and your garden grow with us! - maybe I can shoot you over my photos of garden also.. I have 6 pomegranate trees, four orange trees, two lemon trees, and almost every other fruit, vegetable, and spice I can think of. I love this ART so much!
I like how excited and honest she is. I am glad i found a new channel to watch on gardens. Some other channels i unsubscribed from. They get huge egos and think they know everything. Garden is always trial and error. 🌻🍅
Bre, I also live in Kansas (zone 6b) and Bok Choy does really well for me. If you like mustardy flavor in lettuce, try Mizuna. Concerning sweet potatoes, I plant my sweet potato slips closer to mid May and I still got a bumper crop last year.
Bre my family is from down south and Collards are way of life. and they are so good and they can be served so many different ways and I know you’re probably gonna be out like “that isn’t healthy” but my mama always made them in a cast-iron skillet with some fat back, or some bacon and some bacon grease, salt and pepper. But I’m telling you that is what I grew up with and it is the best taste in the world. Greens are so good play around with them and find out what you like and what your husband likes play around with the taste and you will find what fits you and your family. And there are plenty of recipes online, but that’s the way our family likes them.
I just found your channel and I am so glad to find someone who grows so much food in their backyard. I knew it was possible I just haven't seen too much of it done. One random thing I noticed, you don't have a back door in your house. I have been feeling sorry for myself because I don't either and I hate it. It's so inconvenient in my opinion, but you seem to make it work. I look forward to watching your up coming videos.
Great use of your whole backyard...I need to go back to were you started this and learn a whole lot of stuff cause girl you have it going on and I love your style. ❤😊
While onions can live through the traditional thick sow and separate them to plant in the garden, I found they do get quite a bit of transplant shock. That's why I am looking for the best way to have single seedling soil plugs.
Amazing! Looks like an early garlic harvest again this year! Looks like the onions are going to be monster-sized again this year 😲 Can't wait to see how they turn out! Quebec has just seen its last centimetre of snow melt, so the onions should be in the ground within 2 weeks.😁
I'm really late to this but just discovered you! I have a fantastic southern style vegetarian collard recipe I took from Sunny Anderson on foodnetwork. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter. Saute 1/2 chopped onion until slightly softened, about 2 minutes, then add smoked red pepper flakes (at least 1/2 tbsp) and 1 clove chopped garlic, cook another minute. Add 1 lb collard greens and cook another minute. Add 3 cups vegetable stock, cover and bring to a simmer. Cook until greens are tender, about 40 minutes. Add 2 chopped tomatoes and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
I just found you on insta a few weeks ago. Followed you there and subscribed over here 😊 You have inspired me to get back to my gardening journey! I’m a few weeks behind you in planting, up here in mid-Nebraska! Keep up the great content 😘
This is quite impressive. I was inspired to garden because of you. We are in totally different zones but I still enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for the advice. Also, how many raised beds do you have woman?! I can hardly manage my two. ❤
Your onions are huge already! Im still trying to get mine planted out. I was already behind and now I am down with influenza and its killing me to lay here and not be able to go plant on these beautiful spring days. Thank you for sharing your garden so I have something to watch while I recover! ❤
I don't have a fenced in garden but manage to keep deer out by placing doggy poo bags at the corners. After a few days, the scent mellows quite a bit for humans but deer can still smell them.
