Holy perfect garden, batman.

[@famdeboer637]

Again, amazing post! What i am wondering is.. since you live there (i presume) why not pick what you eat daily? Wouldnt you be eating old lettuce at the end of the week?

[@sarahwade3976]

I'm so glad the person below asked that question because I was wondering same thing. Do you pretty much just eat salads all the time? Maybe stir fry to mix it up? Your diets must be perfection! I think I need to work a little harder at eating all of my harvests!

[@HomesteadandChill]

Yes, we don't want anything to go to waste! We eat a lot of greens/quinoa/beans "salad bowls" for lunch, and every night for dinner we make a giant cast iron wok full of sauteed seasonal veggies and greens to have as the main bulk or whatever else we are eating them with - eggs and homemade sourdough or organic corn tortilla, curry lentils, brown rice, a veggie patty, sweet potatoes, etc. Also a lot of homemade soups full seasonal veggies - another great way to use them up 😁

[@fieldtripcrew7285]

Sounds like we need your recipes!! Soups, bowls....

[@charitymoore8874]

Could you maybe do a video about preserving what you aren't able to eat? Freezing, cooking or storing?

[@cindyvermillion7866]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@pdlamboj948]

Do you have any tips for garden green (Kale and Cabbage) eating pests?

[@ambermullen8285]

How do you preserve greens you don’t get through in a week? Love the channel, blog, and insta!! You rock!

[@HomesteadandChill]

We usually only harvest what we can eat in a week. What you saw at the end of the video, we'd eat in about 5 days. But when we need to pull plants at the end of their life, or ever have too much at once, we like to make kraut! Bok choy, mustard greens, kale, etc make excellent kraut - not just cabbage! 👍🏼 also, add them to big ole batches of soup to freeze. Good question! Maybe I'll add a note to that extent in the blogpost 💚

[@rubyygrrace]

Please make a video about your garden trellis!😊 There's not enough going around that are on raised bed gardens!

[@HomesteadandChill]

Hi Ruby, we have a blog post on how we make our trellises. homesteadandchill.com/how-to-build-a-trellis/

[@pdlamboj948]

Excellent to the point video! Thank you! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL GARDEN!!! Gardening goals!

[@earthangel539]

Wow, how does your veggies have no bug bites and look so healthy??!!

[@HomesteadandChill]

Thank you so much! It's not always that way but if you build a diverse ecosystem, the pests can't take over your garden.

Hi Deanna, your videos are nicely done and very informative. Can you use landscape mode instead of portrait mode so that they view better on laptops and tablets? Thank you.
