HUGE Cabbage Harvest & More Garden Chores!

[@EE-hk7if]

My aunt uses those towers as 'bee towers' filling them with bee attracting flowers. So she can move them to area's where her veg needs pollinating.

[@dianepuskas6362]

Wonderful cabbage harvest. Growing up, one of our favorite meals was Hungarian Cabbage With Noodles (Káposztás Tészta), in case you are looking for a recipe. Enjoy and have a great spring.

[@imaniniles-perez8529]

Thats mad smart tho

[@my3bsfarm863]

What a great idea

[@OliviaLovesPugs]

That’s a great idea actually! Must be quite ornamental and beautiful as well

[@CarlaJ9]

That's such a nice idea!!

[@davidcheever8175]

Those were some amazing cabbages you harvested. Now you know what you're going to have to make, sour krout, kimchi, cornbeef & cabbage, cabbage gratin, roasted cabbage, cabbage and noodle stir-fry, grilled cabbage, stuffed cabbage, cabbage rolls, rubin cabbage wraps, cabbage enchiladas, cole slaw, and cstuffed cabbage tacos, to name a few. Enjoy all the good food.

Awwww your little cat friend is so cute! Great for keeping pests away too 😊

38 degrees here in Ky. So jealous.

[@patcox8745]

I love your interaction with each other. Great video as usual. Thanks for the bare root strawberry planting hack; I’m planting mine today. I see lots of sauerkraut in your future.....Take care!

Lol that's not a "wild" cat Kevin, its a stray 🤣❤

Twinning level 100! I will say, I love the casual talks while cleaning an epic cabbage harvest.

[@celticlass8573]

I get so hungry after watching these videos!

You should name the silver laced chick Prada since the other is Gucci 😉❤🥰🐤 thank you for sharing the video! Those cabbages are crazy!!!

[@tammyhinkle5890]

Prada, I had the same idea!

[@charliegroves]

Had a rough day, but came home and saw a new Epic Homesteading video and my mood has lifted! Thanks Kevin & Jacques for providing a safe space for us all to unwind and enjoy gardening. Just seen the cat - absolutely love it.

[@epichomesteading]

Means a lot!

[@enyo24]

@@epichomesteading I missed what type of cabbage it was that you grew. What is it? Thanks

[@TheNeon1234]

OMG! look at those cabbages! Really enjoy watching you guys! I am a first time gardener & I am learning lot from you both! Keep it up!

[@goranbreskic4304]

I totally understand the cat. I would also love to just "kind of hang out" in such a garden.

Cabbage goals 💯

I refreshed my Mr. Stacky soil by adding black kow manure, blood meal, bone meal, peat moss and azomite.

You two make a great team..MEOW!😸

I recently bought a straw hat! I was super excited about it and had an "I used to be cool" moment 😂 but I've accepted my new role as a plant lady. I'd totally buy an Epic straw hat!! 🧑‍🌾

[@czmiccommando537]

Those cabbages are impressive 💪

[@nenemaria-cornfieldsgarden]

I've never seen cabbage close to that size here in the UK, it must be your epic sunshine!

[@siamstation]

So impressed with your cabbages. Mine have never grown that big. Chickens are looking beautiful.

[@Tf03]

Cabbage content and stylish practical hats this is what I’m here for. Love love love it.

[@DelightedAcres]

Wow!!! I’ve never seen cabbage that big. Awesome!

[@JonShep93]

Those are some pretty huge cabbage! Lots of preserving to be done in the day/a ahead! You should try to make sure to remove any veg waste from the chicken coop and into the compost after a couple days to prevent flies / rodents etc! My own chicken coop hunt has begun!

[@epichomesteading]

Good call!

[@tara4586]

Love your videos! I appreciate the honesty that you guys bring to gardening! Sometimes life just happens and we get to the garden when we can. I appreciate hearing hey were a couple days late but it's ok. I get flooded with perfect gardens and perfect harvests that sometimes it feels overwhelming! I just wanted to say thank you for being real and being completely relatable! ❤️❤️

[@sheba19]

Those cabbage are massive 👀 love the background music

[@RunaaSteinamrk]

Chaaaarlie, let's go to the cabbage mountain 😄

[@nickoyler8639]

That's some awesome cabbage! And the chickens are growing super fast! Love seeing them! I also have a stray cat chill around when I'm outside in my garden!

[@mailesweeney3291]

Jade Buh green beans do very well in my Green Stalk planters.

[@cuttwice3905]

In the future you may want to give them the winter experience by giving them December in the fridge, January in the freezer and the first two weeks February in the fridge. Then you can plant them when the days start warming up for you. You may end up treating them as annuals if you don't want the work. Strawberries need a colder winter than you have.

[@lmichelle6244]

🤣 when you decapitated those cabbages all i could think was "Finish Him!" In mortal combat lol...! Your cabbage goals definitely!

[@TylerDurden404]

please do a video on how you control all the pests including - snails, slugs and everything else.

[@IanFarquharson2]

Nice episode. That's a lot of cabbage to get through, only so much coleslaw, sauerkraut, and pickles you can eat. Trading time for some more plants perhaps?

[@Kat-mf7mt]

0:01 that smol Jacque noise

[@StormWarningMom]

Holy cannoli, those cabbages are fit for a king (or two)!

[@SurfReese]

I would love to see a video of what you do with your harvests 😊

[@georgiasw7512]

WOW! Those cabbage look amazing 🤩

[@OliviaLovesPugs]

I’d love to see mini, micro, and tumbling/trailing tomatoes grown in one of the greenstalks. That would be very interesting to watch grow and a great demonstration of the use of those types of tomatoes. You don’t see greenstalks used like that often. You could probably get a ton of tomatoes in a small space. A cool use for the other would be as an herb tower. All types of herbs and many different varieties all together in one fragrant, flavourful tower. I just ordered my first greenstalk for this season and I’m going to do strawberries. I have a small space so after planting all the veggies and herbs, I had no space left for fruit. This is the first year we’re going to (hopefully) have homegrown fruit! If they weren’t so expensive (especially to ship all the way over here to Canada) then I’d get one for small tomatoes, one for herbs, one for lettuce and other greens, and maybe even try mini peppers in one. Really would save space in the garden beds for other things. They also look beautiful loaded up with flowers as a flower tower! Maybe I can collect them over time. They’re supposed to be quite durable and great quality.

[@setapartfarmandgardens]

I'm loving the chicken updates! Would love more videos on them! Great video as always!

[@kysacheshire3926]

I would love to see you grow some Napa Cabbage and make some kimchi. Kimchi is great for home steading and it's so good with so many meals, both basic like rice, or big meals like different kinds of meats and veggies. (:

[@trinnistevens9150]

Oh my gosh the chickies are getting so big! They're adorable. Also, love the light jazz music as you're violently decapitating those cabbage lol. They look great! I didn't realize they got that big.

[@aileentmify]

You guys are too cute...like 2 kids in the playground playing with dirt... where's the toy dump trucks and pail 😅

[@t2118-r8l]

Just started my cabbage seeds! So exited for this growing season coming up. I’m jealous of the fact you can grow all year round!

[@kevinbossick8374]

Those cabbages are massive. Good job Kevin.

[@matthewbias3602]

Some folks in the Appalachian area will slice cabbage into inch thick "steaks" and either pan fry or grill them as a main dish for a meal.

[@jeaniemario2093]

WOW! This is my first year growing cabbage, and I have serious cabbage envy! As for the greenstalks, my favorite things to grow in them are my strawberries, herbs, leafy greens, dwarf tomatoes, and smaller pepper plants.

[@epichomesteading]

Great choices for the greenstalk!

[@kamaliancirranoush1916]

Your comment about cannabis and grape growers is so spot on! After working in the cannabis industry, coming from a vegetable/home gardening background it is amusing seeing the approach of soul/nutrients etc from a strictly cannabis growing mindset. IMO the narrow scope and hyper fixation of one plant makes it harder than it has to be. As you stated the monetary value of certain crops is higher, but factor in taxes, and high overhead compared to growing vegetables the ROI is pretty close between both. That is the case in my area in northern climate/indoor only. I have stepped away from the industry and all their rules so I can enjoy all the plants again lol. Love your channel and super job on the cabbages. We grow giant ones here in Alaska, sometimes up to 100lbs at the state fair.

[@swankshire6939]

i grow some amazing organic strawberrys in my grow room lol. cannabis is a gateway to gardening.

[@Davidmaxwell07]

So close to hitting a million subs. Holy smokes. I remember finding this page at 11k

Love the video and seeing you guys together again. Great cabbage harvest, they are enormous, never seen them that big. The hat is a great idea, I would definitely buy one. Have you ever considered creating your own soil mix and sell it. Between you and Jaqués can create something great 😊

Holy heads of cabbage!!! I would love to know how you will store those. Fermenting maybe? Blessed bounty. Love the channel and thanks for sharing. 🌈❤️🌎✌️

[@kylehubbell5610]

Amazing cabbage. I've grown some citronella in the towers and had it by my patio along with some flowers. It was nice to have last summer

[@c0ldlight1]

Oh my what a lovely cabbage harvest! My favorite way to eat cabbage is to slice it up, sautee it with onions and then braise it in a little bit of v8. you end up with a sweet tomato-y cabbage dish thats sort of like the best part of stuffed cabbage without having to stuff cabbage.

[@SuperStruct]

Jacques saying "Okey :))" right off the bat has me dying

[@teedub1990]

What a great cabbage harvest! I can imagine 5 different ways to make sauerkraut. Suggestion on towers: plant weird varieties of beans from around the world to see which do well in socal climate. Name for nameless chick: silverwings since you basically call her that already.

[@kytoeryu7835]

I'm so glad they mentioned the cannabis thing. I sometime do those techniques on my garden and it works out well

[@rogaineablar5608]

You guys can save the external leaves and cook them up (after rinsing).

Congratulations on the cabbage harvest Kevin they are beautiful and I'm sure they taste wonderfully delicious. 👍

[@gwendyrose8905]

Those cabbage heads are EPIC!!!! :D As to the strawberries, the straw isn't going to help one bit! I purchased Albion strawberry roots last spring and put 24 in a 4x8ft raised bed. I mulched it throughout the year with grass clippings and straw but didn't do anything else (other than water them occasionally). The summer got too hot for me, so I wasn't able to stay on top of the runners. In the fall, I had to thin the runners out and ended up with over 100 plants that I pulled and STILL had plants in the bed! I let them over winter in the bed and here in zone 6a they are just starting to come out of dormancy! Hoping I can keep on top of the runners this year. :) Too bad I couldn't sell those runners, though. I could have made a fortune! :D Oh, and just to warn you, you have officially been deemed worthy enough to become EPIC cat slaves now! :D hehe Good luck with that. ;) ;)

My very first cabbage (which I harvested today) PALES is comparison to yours (cultivated on a plant pot), but is full of love. Very proud and I might try again. Those aphids are no joke btw, had to blast them with water pretty much every day. I'll make sure to have neem oil for next time.

Those cabbages are why your channel has it's name! You've got a lot of chopping in your near future boys! Put something unusual in the greenstalks, or something that takes up a lot of space in ground?

Just wondering because I know next to nothing about chickens, but how much cabbage would be too much cabbage for them? I am both curious and laughing. I feel like that would tare up anyones stomach 😆 Those cabbages are HUGE! Amazing harvest :) I just started the first round of my seeds for the year. Im so excited! Hope your strawberries do well. Im still trying to do good by mine. Havent gotten a good harvest from them yet.

[@rhondadempsey319]

Love the hats!

[@its_holtzzy]

Could do all different varieties of Basil in the Green Stalk, and make a Basil tower!

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

Roasted cabbage is my favorite way of eating it. Wait 🤔 No.... It used to be. I always made what is referred to on recipe sites as cabbage steaks. You simply slice through the heads of cabbage cutting the wedges and inch thick horizontally, brush on a good coating of olive oil and roast on high heat until they caramelize. Delicious. However, I experimented and kicked it up a notch. I make what I call cabbage bruschetta lol. I follow the steps to make cabbage steaks but in the last 15 minutes of roasting I add cherry tomatoes, crushed garlic, basil and some olives to the top and It is so incredibly good. Trust me you'll love it.

[@epichomesteading]

SUCH a good idea!

[@connecticutwormsgardens]

@@epichomesteading Let me know how you like it. I know already what you're going to think. Amazing. Cabbage was a big thing during my weight loss journey and it can get boring unless you find creative ways to make it good and omg roasted cabbage bruschetta is the bomb 🎉

[@Steve53W]

I did strawberries in the greenstalk last year and they produced really well. Overwintered them in the GS (zone 8b) and they’re doing really well this spring. Letting them go this year too along with some tea plants (mint, camomile, etc.). I like to use the greenstalk for stuff that spreads prolifically to keep it contained.

[@xSunshinex4206]

[@styleme3375]

I’m testing the limits of my greenstalks this year. I have eggplants, bush tomatoes,broccoli, peppers. I have a lot of smaller things like herbs and lettuce but I want to try to grow a bunch of things and see what I can get away with.
