Just a side note.... you can eat kale stems : ) I like to put them in a frying pan, add water to coat the bottom of pan, and cook/steam them until tender (a few minutes)... you can also add kale leaves once the stems are cooked (they only take a minute). Really good mixed in with scrambles eggs and other veggites... or just as a side topped with a little butter, salt, & pepper!

[@redstarling5171]

Im glad you brought up the fact that for leafy greens and root plants you dont need to harvest the entire plant you can just pick a couple leaves off multiple plants and allow the roots to grow bigger or get them to seeding stage so you can collect for next season. I dont think many people know this and its a great way to save time and effort instead of constantly replanting. I also feed my chickens alot of the older leaves and bug eaten ones so nothing goes to waste and for them its a tasty treat.

My first coriander/cillantro harvest was absolutely crazy. I seeded it late august and it did great during pretty much the entire winter. Lots of freezing and snow, but it just kept on growing and i kept cutting leaves off for cooking pretty much twice a week at some point. The last freezing period in february it finally collapsed and stopped growing. The years after that i had a lot of other plants grow well, but coriander never really did well after that first year. Seeded it a lot of times but they either never sprout or quickly die.

You got this!

Mizuna is great in soup and the radish greens are super good for you and tasty cooked too! Thank you for your help!

[@chetnamukhia0907]

The salad looks really fresh & yumm!!! I love it when the gardeners harvest what they grow and cook as well. I find it very interesting & motivating to eat healthy. Great job!!!🙌💖

[@rosannaburgess714]

Hi my friend , I love all those veggies you are growing! I eat them all the time especially during the summer months where they grow fast ! Thank you for sharing and your garden is beautiful!

Great video for growing a new vegetable home garden. Thank you for teaching us how to do it and what vegetables to select!

[@DelightfulDissident]

You make learning extra enjoyable

Root crop greens are really easy and great to do. I planted freshly-cut carrot and parsnip heads with a little green still on them and have been harvesting the greens for some months now, and radish greens are great in a salad.

[@newatiny344]

Hi, I read a comment above which said that you should not eat parsnip greens because they're toxic...

[@thatgrumpychick4928]

I re grow spring onions and they grow so fast. It's so satisfying. Im growing them and garlic at the moment and the garlic shoots have already come up after two days! It's so exciting

[@petinachambersmcvay8482]

Wow, just watching you cutting some pieces for your salad....and I've got this huge grin on my face. lol That really was beautiful! Thank u. Great video.

Nice vid. I love the vibe. SUBSCRIBED.

[@christinewieseler6401]

I can attest to the microgreens. Watched Kevin's microgreens video, tried it and had greens in no time... and it was effortless. Its amazing!!! So exited about continuing this!

[@JamieNotLamie]

Thank you! I've really been enjoying being in my garden more and more, it's so peaceful, and rewarding. So I'm thinking of going beyond flowers and fairy gardens/bird sanctuarys and growing some greens! My 5 year old will appreciate knowing she can pluck some of them not long after we plant!

Love this one! Excellent content. You are a great teacher and super funny. I am going to try food gardening again. I did have fun replanting my “ live” Boston lettuce bottoms and actually harvested two heads!!!( I don’t think you have video on this I just gave it a try after watching one of your other videos and I had hope again) Now the stems are growing me some more! You are inspiring! Beets and bay kale here I come!

I'm just getting started with gardening and your channel has been a great resource! Thanks 💞

I like the “hats off to the chef” that you did! 🤓👍

Beet greens are delicious! I eat them straight from the garden, no cooking! They're great to nom on when watering the garden takes a while. They're also delicious mixed with spinach in stewed beets and greens. And beets and the beet tops are a great nutrition/iron boost substitute if you're craving meat.

[@newatiny344]

How do you make stewed beets and greens please?

[@draguta8995]

@@newatiny344 the way I make it: 1. Rinse the beets with cold water. 2. Slice them about a quarter-inch thick. Discard the 1/2 ro 1-inch thick portion where the stalks meet the root. 3. Put the sliced beets in a small pot. Add some salt, to taste (may take some experimentation, start with 1 tsp and alter from there). 4. Add enough water to cover the beet slices. (The beet juice water is delicious and nutritious, and too much water dilutes the flavor). 5.A. If the beets come with a lot of good beet greens, discard the wilted and bad ones, rinse and chop up the good leaves into 1- to 2-inch sized piecies and add them to the pot. 5. B. If the beets did not come with a lot of good leaves, or if you want to add more, rinse and add baby spinach. (I use about half a pound of spinach to 2 pounds beets). Its going to look like a lot of spinach, but it boils down. If you can't fit it all, fit as much as possible, then add more any time there's room. 6. Cover the pot with a lid. 7. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally. It usually takes about 45 minutes to cook. The water boils the beets and steams the greens until the greens can be stirred into the water. 8. Check water level when stirring. If there's less than about a quarter of an inch covering the bottom, add some more water. 9. It's done when the beets can be sliced with a fork and the greens are fully cooked (if they look wilted but have taken on some of the color of the beet juice). 10. Serve and enjoy! Enjoy!

Just had my first big harvest today! Working in an apartment plot (3’x10’) in New England was REALLY difficult but I absolutely loved it.

[@webetruckin115]

This is literally the video/channel I’ve been looking for. I’m looking for veggies I can easily grow on my balcony in containers. Micro greens are the perfect solution! Thank you!

[@Maryam-kl6qh]

I love your videos very inspiring I’m a new gardener and just started a garden and still learning a lot thanks for your gardening tips

[@laurab3876]

Love it! Thanks you for this, so to the point. Only observation I would make is that the stem of those veggies like kale have tons of nutrients and are totally editable!

[@rosewaters2533]

Chop up some toasted almond nuts and it’ll bring your salad to the next level. You can also zest some citrus to it too.

[@epicgardening]

[@Laughinggray]

Or toasted cashews, yummy.

[@kiobio7311]

I remember my first harvest. I was 12 and burried some potatoes for a school project and i was so surprised at the amount of them after i harvested haha Good times!

[@brittanysmith3054]

This is awesome. I have only watched two of your videos and Im ready to start my garden immediately!

[@mahadesharya6975]

Perfect teacher for covid lockdown crisis.. Thanks a lot

[@neverlostforwords]

Very well explained. Thank you. I have a ton of small greens growing in the garden that I was planning to grow to a larger size but now I am going to harvest some of them while small. I have subbed too.

[@ferrous719]

I sow them thick and eat the micro greens as I thin them out

[@neverlostforwords]

@@ferrous719 Good idea, thanks. I am dealing with the same problem now as it's autumn here in Melbourne Australia. Do you just pull the microgreen shoots out of the soil or cut them off at the surface? What if they don't come out of the soil easily and interfere with the other greens left behind, dragging their roots out as I pull out the microgreens?

[@mixedconviction]

Legit! Nice harvest man. I’m definitely striving to have a salad garden once this whole covid thing blows over.

[@robertburch5233]

Might want to grow now not starve later nothing about this says blow over unless it's old and frail ppl

[@mixedconviction]

Robert Burch well, I meant once businesses are open and people stop over purchasing seeds and other gardening tools like it’s the end of the world.

Addicted to your videos! Kevin is so dang smart, knowledgeable and helpful.
