Nancy needs to show us how to cook these

She’s got a video coming this fall on it

Oh my Dog!!!! You're little puppy is too adorable! Thank you for teaching my how to plant and grow kohlrabi

[@denisandelainelafreniere8127]

I grow kohlrabi here in southern Maine but I learned a few new things on how to grow them better from you. I like to preserve my kohlrabi by slicing them about the size of sliced water chestnuts, blanching and freezing them. I use them in place of water chestnuts in Asian cooking. I dehydrate the leaves, 0:16 then pulverize them into a green powder which I mix in with other green powders and add to meatloaf and soups in small amounts to add more nutrition. I love your easy teaching style and how you demonstrate how to cook the veggies when you harvest them. I’m looking forward to spring and garden season.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for sharing with our homestead family! Blessings

You’ve convinced me to try to grow some this fall! Thank you!

Nancy is such a sweetheart ❤

This autumn I'm going to grow kohlrabi. Thank you for this. By his hands we are fed, give us Lord our daily bread.

[@eileenbartnick7202]

I have only eaten them raw. LOVE them!!!!

[@annjay7571]

This looks interesting to grow and eat. I will try it this fall using the 3 gallon nursery pot. Thank you both for inspiring us to grow a home garden !

[@cherylperkins7538]

I love your videos. You are both blessed. I live in Fort Walton Beack, Florida. Have you given thought to maybe having a physical class? I would love to come visit and pay to stay one night. Being in the quiet would be so good for people trapped in the city. Coffee and prayer would top it off. !!😍

[@countryroads190]

I grew kohlrabi here in NC for the first time this spring. Very easy to grow, full of vitamin C, too. I ended up just slicing and taking to work to crunch on raw. Going to transplant some seedlings to containers soon. I can also see potential for making coleslaw with this!

[@lanettelawrence6308]

Enjoying your content you show strong work!!!

[@ordainedreverendhighpriestess]

Thank you, Miss Nancy and Mr. Hollis! Once again, another great video! I love how inspirational, entertaining, and informative these are. And I got the biggest kick out of hearing that BingBing gets his own steak! ❤

Kohlrabi is such fun to grow! And it’s great to eat! Looks like a spacecraft!!! Great for daring your kids to eat it ! Lol!!!

[@paulabonavia374]

I absolutely love kohlrabi, it's one of my favorite veggies. My father always grw them he always put them in soup. I prefer to eat them raw, but you can't let them grow to big if you eat them raw. Thank you for your show

[@Liwayputi]

I don’t think I’ve ever had kohlrabi . I’ll have to try that out.

[@SpinDizzy-fr8bc]

Always enjoy watching your videos. I tried Kohlrabi this spring but summer jumped us early and I never got anything bigger than a ping pong ball. I will have to try next year in the fall. You make it look too easy! Wishing you continued success from Ontario, Canada.

The purple leaves are wonderful raw.

I love your seed to harvest videos. I'm growing purple Karabi for the first time because of the color.😊 Never heard of nor seen a Karabi until I was ordering seeds. Hopefully I will like it.

[@michealinak]

Good morning you two! You both have a wonderful and blessed Friday 💗. Thank you both for doing awesome job 👍👍👍.

[@k.p.1139]

Ok Hollis, you convinced me! I'm dragging out my seeds and getting some started. I have never grown these. I thought they took months like cabbage, and ya know how it's hard to grow cabbage here! Flies, bugs, and then there is bugs and flies. 😆😆

[@amyk6028]

Love ALL your videos because they are seed to harvest! Thanks for another great one 👍 HAVE A BLESSED DAY! 🙏 ❤

Kohlrabi is really wonderful grated fine and added to coleslaw.

Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶

[@gitatit4046]

The Kohlrabi looks good. I just find it hard to branch out from my old tried and true collards and turnips enough to try it. But your video might have convinced me to plant some this fall. I've been tuned in your channel for a while now and I really like your videos. Maybe especially the fishing ones and those like this one from planting to harvest type videos. Thanks for sharing and may God bless. 👍

[@valjalava1951]

Great videos ,you’ve always got great ideas love kolarabi

[@loristrout4741]

A smart woman never complains! You may not do it the same way but if you are sincere in your effort we are sincere in our gratitude! My husband does our laundry and will empty the dishwasher any time I ask or if he wants a coffee cup that is in the clean dishes he just empties the whole thing. I vacuum, sweep, and mop. We usually make the bed together and toilets and mirrors are all mine. He did some cooking after I had a new Spinal Cord Stymulator battery put in. I had 2 incisions this time. The old battery was just about impossible to charge where it was placed on me before. So he learned how to use the Ninja Foodi the new oven our Ninja drink maker. After I was able to cook again he promptly forgot how they all work.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for sharing 😘

[@debrasfrugallife3703]

Never try kohlrabi before. I was looking at seeds for it at tractor supply today now I wish I got them to try

[@LytonaKirtz]

Is there a reason you don’t give the peelings to the chickens. I’d think those would make them happy also. Thank you for the info. I have some in the garden and didn’t have a clue how to harvest or cook them. I’ve never had one but I think I’ll really like them.

[@AmandaRedmond919]

I needed this video. My kohlrabi did not grow well this year. Your cutting skills were just fine but I'm guessing Nancy is the pro.

[@gardenlife-vz7pi]

I have never tried this. Going to order some seeds from Johnny's and try this in my fall garden! Thank you for the video.

[@marlingirl1815]

Thanks for another great video. I grew kohlrabi for the first time this spring. I grew the white and was impressed how well they grew in a hügelkultur. I liked the flavor so much that I got more seed and added the purple. I like colors in the garden too. So happy for you and Nancy to have been able to get your FL homestead. God Bless.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you! We love the taste of Kohlrabi too.

[@skylights9646]

YEAH!!!!! WE Soooo love kohlrabi.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Us too!!!❤️

[@Pullingweedstwenty47]

Excellent video! I noticed that you did not put a fish in the containers. Do you ever put a fish in the container when growing your vegetables? If so, for what vegetables do you place a fish in the container?

[@justhappy2behurr]

if you haven't tried yet, those kohlrabi leaves sauteed and seasoned with some scrambled eggs makes a heck of a healthy breakfast. thank you for all the work you do to make us really great videos and informative content.

[@leerocks3859]

I will try this with the leaves Thank you 👍🏼

[@ladrenathomas53]

We love the leaves also

[@kele1264]

What a wonderful video! I'm going to try growing kohlrabi next year, in containers. I've never tried eating it. So nice how you give the greens to your chickens. Awww, Bing Bing gets his own little steak! How adorable! Good health and happiness to you! Hugs and kissies for Bing Bing!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Nancy cooked the purple leaves and they tasted pretty good to me. I like the way she did it. I don’t care for them boiled but she cooked them down with the roots

[@kele1264]

@@HollisNancysHomestead I'll always try something once. I like lots of baby greens, it's the big ones I have trouble with. I was nervous about trying beet greens, but it turns out I really like them in a mixed green salad. I find carrot greens to be way too bitter for me. Next year, I have a feeling I'll know whether or not I like kohlrabi greens!

[@NelumAmarasekara]

What did you add in white colour

[@markbrooks5278]

Man i love those kohlrabies used to eat one raw with my lunch everyday thru the season! 😉😜👍👌 thanks for sharing the video--- brought back old good memories..

[@rosalindhb]

Wow! I didn't realize you meant an actual fish head going In..lol. Interesting., learned something new. I appreciate you doing container planting. 😃

[@cynthiafisher9907]

If you don’t have actual fish heads(which I don’t), you can just use fish fertilizer.

[@IreneNevins]

My Mother (German) used to grow these and serve them in a white sauce. Yum!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

That has to be tasty

[@allanpennington]

I direct sewed 15 Mar which is second week of autumn here in New Zealand. The seed came up really quickly and I progressively thinned. They should have been ready in 60 days but they reached winter and never formed a bulb. Now its spring and whilst there is a little swelling at the base the plants are actually going to seed. Ive been using the tops and leaves in casseroles. Not sure why they never formed the bulb, possibly overcrowding??

[@kathleengarner5840]

Is there a reason that you didn't put bonemeal in the ones that you planted in the ground, but did in the ones that are in containers?

[@paularizzo5217]

RECYCLING SOIL... 1) Is it your thoughts that starting seeds should be in soil that hasn't been previously used ? 2) should the soil maintain a little moisture until the seeds sprout? 3) where do you store your unused seeds. Dry cool ? Refrigerator? Plastic bags?

[@khubbard45]
