Since I found your channel 3-4 years ago, y’all have motivated me to start my own garden 2 years ago and I can hopefully learn to can food next year. I’m no where near as successful at as y’all are in my garden,but I’m slowly learning and I really appreciate how you explain things and tell us the way you do things. I also love how you cover so many other things like bee keeping, fishing and hunting, preserving food and cooking. I just wish I could go fishing for salmon, but sadly they never come to NC except in the freezer section. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

We grew cabbage commercially in Michigan for years, you bend the head of cabbage to the side and it will often snap at the stalk, if not, we use machetes - one hand on the cabbage and one to chop the stalk. Makes VERY quick work of harvest! Also, when our son was in kindergarten, he wanted to take a cabbage to school, we couldn’t put the head in a brown paper bag, it was WAY too big! We had to take it to school for him for show n tell! He was proud!!!
