[@shaneherman8906]

Hollis said Nancy goes for the heart. She did go for the heart, Hollis's ❤! Lol..... She got his heart and kept it. You guys are awesome.... God bless you both.

[@peggyhurley5367]

I just love you two! And so glad momma now lives nearby! Y’all are such a blessing!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you so much!!

[@paca_bill4863]

The whole series of videos you've made (seed to harvest) are great! Makes it very easy to do a quick search on the specific vegetable or plant to see how to grow it. And it's nice to show both the bucket system and the regular in-the-ground garden style of growing. Thanks!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandraarista3121]

Your love for the Lord gave me such encouragement tonight. Thank you both.

[@christinaeilers3562]

Wow, u ended up with a lot of cabbage despite those seeds not germinating right away! Learned lots, thanks. 😊

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Yeah, it ended up with a good germination rate. It was just slow due to the heat. Still adjusting to the Florida weather👍

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Great

[@donacassel5195]

Glad to see that you didn’t give up on your seedlings. God provides when you continue the faith in your work. Such a bountiful harvest. Well deserved for you both. Many blessings.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Yes! Thank you! Isn't what God does with each of us. We no not show much promise without HIM. Blessings to you and your family

[@user-qr2kt2oq7s]

Hollis, I loved your instructions. You are easy to understand. Thank you much.

[@lenayoung1497]

Absolutely enjoy the planting and harvesting of the nappa cabbage... I will be buying the seeds and and using the 5 gallion contains I just received. Thank you again Hollis & Nancy for all your hard work.. I appreciate it.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Wonderful!

[@michelleperkins9886]

I particularly like the way you go from seed to harvest in all of your videos. It helps those of us who’ve not grown before to see what it is supposed to look like. The only thing i haven’t seen is how to fight any pest infestation. But I’m sure you’ll be sharing that with us at some point! Happy ness year 2023!

[@marybianca2722]

Hollis and Nancy you two grew trees filled with cabbage. Nothing like being blessed with a good harvest 🌱♥️🙏

[@bluedaughter]

You and Nancy have absolutely been wonderful inspiration for me. I've always loved having a vegetable garden but health problems, and the depression that creeped in, caused me to lose interest in almost everything. By watching your videos I began wanting to grow vegetables again. After the wanting came the doing. I already had a few large containers and I've gone to my local bakery and they've given me 3 and 5 gallon food grade buckets. My husband drilled the drainage holes and bought me other needed supplies. I'm outside again doing things that I enjoy. I just wanted you both to know how very much you've helped me. Thank you.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings

[@DeeLovelyLife]

I can't wait to plant our cabbage for the first time! Thank you!!!!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

[@fallenangel1049]

Tried kimchi for the first time back in 2015 at Epcot for food and wine festival…red and white….awesome stuff

[@sltlynnlee3245]

[@pansyvaughan5624]

Wow this is great video, I know I'm watching this 2 years later, but thank you I'm wanting to grow and make my own kimchi also ...🍻

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kmcte5]

Can Nancy do a video on storing kimchi long term please? I keep some in fridge but need to know what to do for a large amount and what to store it in. Thank you

[@lsieu]

I second FC's suggestion. 🙂

[@mrskimmieg]

Great idea! I hope she will.

[@doreyduncan6266]

I would love that also! How to store and also do you have bug issues?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

In the refrigerator, it stays fresh about 3-6 months - and continues to ferment, which may lead to a sourer taste but creating more good bacteria. Some people have up to year for me it too long. Check and make sure its not mushy. Also put in several smaller bottle (DON't OPEN) until use with leaf on top to keep the brine below the kimchi with cabbage leaf and put a plastic lid (has slow leak of air) so it does not create a bomb. Put it with something on the bottom of kimchi bottle to make sure it does not leak on to the refrigerator. ENJOY :-)

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

No bug issue.

[@Legacy_125]

That was so nice to watch.💕💞

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JC-mx1mk]

Beautiful and huge cabbages! Thank you for the journey, I love how you both give the glory to the one who deserves it, the Lord Jesus! Thank you for the scriptures also! If anyone ever have a problem with you all honoring God, don't ever change it! Just politely request them to view other videos! May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you both! Shalom!

I failed at Napa cabbage this spring, (will keep trying), but my potatoes in buckets have gone berserk! Can't wait to harvest them, grandson will get a charge out of it! Thanks to your tutelage!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Never give up. The Napa Cabbage is much easier to grow in the fall. I start mine in September in Florida

[@brentdeaner]

Wonderful bounty! God is great. Enjoy!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jo2sj490]

Your harvest really looks pretty good, so happy to see this video. I try few times to grow napa cabbage and always fail but, I won't give up. I will try again this year. Thank you for sharing this information with us. God bless you guys

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

You can do it!

[@ChaosKLC]

Question! Do you guys use anything for bug/pest control? What a dream property you have!

I started growing my napa cabbage after I watched your guys older videos, and learned to make kimchi from Nancy! I can't handle it as spicy as she can so I make it more like the one she makes for Hollis. She really started me on my journey of loving fermentation. Thank you for all the great kimchi/fermenting videos, can't wait to see more of her kitchen videos. God bless and much love to you both💚

Hey hollis start soaking your seeds over night before planting and I think you'll have have much better germination despite the heat!!!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thanks for the tip

[@auntiepam5649]

Those are gorgeous Napa cabbages!!!

[@sn232]

Being a new gardener, it would be helpful to have a list showing "when" to do all of the stages. Can you please include, in your videos, a slide with words showing dates of when you plant seeds, and do all other stages of the process up thru harvest OR post those dates in your descriptions of your videos for quick reference for the next planting season? I was thinking you started it now, September 24th (video date), but after watching realize that probably is not so. Thanks for your help, we ALWAYS love the wisdom shared in your videos, just don't know when to do the different stages LOL!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

Thank you for sharing. We don’t do that because every place have different frost dates . We have even people from other countries. Blessings

We have an aerogarden and start al our seeds hydroponically. It’s worked out fantastic. I talk the pods out shortly after the seeds have germinated and put the whole thing in the dirt.

[@wandaturner3618]

Kimchi is very nutritional. I love it! :)

[@justinmackey4844]

Can you use his same method with homemade soil and blood meal with strawberries in containers?

[@TheGardenerNorth]

If I could make a suggestion regarding your germination rate on your cabbage. On the packet it says Germination rate 97%, this would be optimal conditions. Your best germination will always be from using Heat Pads, (hydroponic or greenhouse supply companies) in conjunction with clear plastic domes. I realize that your dealing with periodic excessive heat, so I would place Frost blankets as curtains in front of your racks to reduce sun exposure hitting the black trays and possibly provide adequate air circulation with some small clamp fans in the daytime. The one thing I can say for sure is that if you reduce your stress, either sun, heat or cold and create consistent ideal heat source, you should be able to achieve at least 100% - 97% and those cabbage will pop in few days, not two weeks. Cheers!
