Single Dad Homesteading If I could triple subscribe I would, but this should push you over into monetization and you and your sweet girly onto your next goal 🙏🏼😊

[@melissaknitter7611]

Just found your channel and am currently binge watching it.

[@lenaquagliato8852]

I am just listening to these videos while I work on paintings. They are like a balm to my soul, with the soothing music and laid back "chatting". But since I grew up on a farm with chickens and milking goats and now live in the suburbs around LA (and miss the farm so much) I realized the sounds of chickens clucking and cicadas buzzing and the milk in the milking pail are not part of MY life right now, but it's good to know those sounds still exist, they are being enjoyed by someone and are able to be shared via social media :) :(

[@karenlemley8656]

You are such a sweet person...always ready to help and uplift another homesteader. Much love to you.

[@Rootedandreaching]

It's so cool that yall are teaching the next generation these priceless principles of love the lands and they'll love ya back!😊. God bless yall and your family.

[@redbudrefuge8384]

I love how involved your littles are in the garden!

[@blessthismayroad9397]

Redbud Farm same here!!! I have two, 3 year olds and mine don’t work this well in the garden and usually I’m like, nooo, don’t do that, don’t fling that, don’t toss that but, Ben really seems like he’s had a lot of experience and time to grow up in the garden for his age.

[@HISHappyIncheslittlehomeStead]

I love Single Dad Homestead!!! Watch him every week! 😁

[@NextLevelGardening]

Yes, you have revolutionized a side dish!! I always hated radishes and never grew them. Until your last video where you mentioned roasting them. I actually gave you a shout out on one of my videos and I have gotten many comments about it... nobody has every heard of it. Anyway, thank you for that tip. I also tried the kale and eggs... now I love kale too, lol. Thanks Jess for all you do on this channel!!

[@AlongTheRiverHomestead]

Aww once again you are amazing and so is this homesteading community. We all support one another and inspire us to be the best that we can be.

[@PatriciaSmith-rp2kh]

The children are so sweet. . They really enjoy the garden.

[@cynthiamullin661]

My grandkids, whom I babysit, " graze" thru our garden daily. They eat the peas, beans, tomatoes, etc. while they play in the yard all day. It makes my heart happy

[@Val-jz6lf]

I have been gardening for over 40+ years since I was Ben's age though adult kids & never a pea has made it into the house! God Bless & thank you! Prune on Ben!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@providencefarmstead-matt9050]

I love you help showcase other smaller channels. I like Chris got to meet him and his daughter at the Stivers Homestead Seed Swap. Radishes cooked are a great way to use a fast growing under appreciated food crop. Prayers for your speedy recovery headed your way.

[@BobbleheadHomestead]

Thank you again for helping me make so many real, good friends at the Shindig, including Chris at Single Dad Homesteading. I'm sure I've made some lifelong friends thanks to the kindness behind your efforts, I really appreciate that!

[@TheNakidGardeners]

I love how you reach out to small KZbin creators, like myself, and help promote them. I never heard of a lion's cut for a cat but I think Sage the cat needs ones. He has been shedding mad crazy and rolls in the dirt and sunbathes like a dog.

[@pattidavis8043]

You radish pusher you.....I told u once before that no KZbinr has made me cry but you until now.....went over and watched single dad homesteader video and I was weepy.....love your channel, God bless!

[@elmaelmar2761]

I remember eating radishes on bread with some salt... I just Love how Ben is so involved and knows so much about gardening!!

[@kimberlym3764]

I am currently growing radishes for the first time & I look forward to roasting them. Thank you so much for sharing your passion for gardening & homesteading! Much love & continued blessings to you and your family!

[@remymanfre-valdes3810]

I love the fact they eat vegetables. I was that one weird kid that would eat spinach by the handful (and peas) beans, asparagus, whatever. I'm so happy you encourage that in them, setting them up for a lifetime of healthiness.

[@katherinebragg9704]

I lol'd at the kitten George story. I had one just like him. he matted up too every year when he was younger. he was born to a wild barn cat, so had an attitude but I loved him. Anyhow, he would not allow me to clip him, so he would wander around with clumps hanging off him and would pull them off himself. Some of them were sizeable. people would occasionally find one laying in the driveway or lawn and go "WHAT is THAT? lol, I just told them my cat was falling apart, hehehehe. You should've seen the looks, lol

[@christina7088]

You inspire me Jess. My 2 year old daughter is out in the garden with me a lot. My 4 year old son, not so much. Seeing Ben-asaur and Ezra out with you in the garden...... It makes me so happy and I hope my son grows interest.

[@waypoint3639]

I love your videos and your support for others. There is so much negativity in the world, it is great to see your positive impact.

[@kerryschultz7116]

Two years later we are still growing and roasting radishes for the first time due to your recommendation 🥰!!! I grew some for the first time and I just roasted some and had them with dinner. Such a yummy treat that I would have never imagined without you sharing that tip. So thank you for this, and all the many wonderful tips you share almost daily!! Next is turnips and rutabagas. I’m also growing Shishito peppers for the first time after trying your blistered shishito recipe. Another thing I would have never tried. Love watching and wishing you guys much success and happiness on your new adventures. Hugs.

[@tracycollins5272]

I loved how sweet this video was. I’m praying you feel better. You looked a little green. Your kids are a bonus gift that we get in addition to all of your teaching.

[@Mrsgaangsta]

Just listening to the children laughing the whole time in the background. I hope my futur will be as wonderful

[@kacymoreno3775]

This is great! I started growing radishes this year because of your channel 😊

[@brittanyolson3112]

Boots and Bunnies Farm me too!!

[@ameliakat9982]

Me too! And after seeing hers I may be harvesting mine too soon.

[@Just-Nikki]

Boots and Bunnies Farm yep 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@chelseydavis8669]

Me too!

[@haleysiewert8409]

I ate radishes for the first time at 30 years old because of you! They’re on my farmers market shopping list every week now!

[@Meg_Davis]

"You are a man obsessed with pruning." LOL!!! What a great one-liner ^_^

[@angelablair7421]

Roasting our radishes was amazing! Our family loved it! Thank you thank you

[@tonyafrancesca8409]

Kitten George and the lion cut. My daughter really wants to see that!!! Super cute, he looks so like a lion lol!

[@TheOwsNestHomeschool]

Get back to feeling better Jess, I have been under the weather as well. Happy to see the garden coming along so well! I love listening to the music of wild life in the back ground ♥️

[@rachelattack]

I am so with you! I plant radishes as soon as I can in Ontario and right now it's so much fun to see other gardeners checking out my plot saying "what the heck?!" and marvelling I already have food ready.

[@cynthiabarrow509]

Love hearing children playing in the background. 💕

[@JonD2010]

Planted my first radishes a few weeks ago, and looking for good ways to use them, I thought, what would Jess do? Definitely going to try roasting them! There is a part in this video that features Kitten George that made me smile and I thought maybe it might make you smile too when you come across this comment. May he forever live in spirit in your new cottage garden ❤️🌱

[@rebeccagharis-gallo8155]

For many years, one of my favorite ways to eat radishes is as part of a stir fry. Again, the sugars come out, they're not spicy and they're delicious!

[@branditweedle9057]

Glad you're feeling better.

[@pineyhavenhomestead8947]

I subscribed to Chris & Elyn not long after I saw him on Justin Rhodes video where he was teaching gun safety to them. I love watching his videos, hate that I miss his live feeds, I get up early for work, so I am usually in bed or soon to be in bed when his start. I LOVE your videos. Thank you so much for what you do. Have a Blessed Week! **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly & Critters and Piney Haven Homestead.

[@flyingpigpreserve8562]

Going to try your Radish Recipe. Sounds Yummy. Benjamin is so Cute. Peace Be With All

[@donnalutheran6335]

Love your videos. Trying container gardening on my deck this year. A few years ago i tried permaculture and nothing would grow. Then one day i was leaving for work and discovered my neighbor getting her yard treated for weeds. So sorry to learn your were ill. I just got over a bought of bronchitus and my husband just got over pneumonia. I could not do too much and discovered your channel while i was sick.

[@lavendercoyote]

So glad I saw this today, I can't wait to try roasted radishes! Thank you and God bless you so much. 🤗💕🐦

[@MrDiasJoana]

I can almost sense the smell of those radishes coming out of the ground. That earthy smell of you know what I mean 🌱

[@elph77]

I found out about roasting radishes last year. You're so right Jess, it's a complete game changer. Sometimes I cook them in the air fryer after coating them in a little bit of olive oil, garlic, and black pepper. Cooking them completely changes their flavor profile.

[@MYPERMACULTUREGARDEN]

I love watching little Ben,,, He reminds me of my grand babies because they wear their boots on the wrong foot and I catch Ben doing the same sometimes !!!

[@extrabijou]

Mornin! Radish pusher 😝 Been so cold and rainy here in NH. Cannot wait for my very first direct sewn radish crop to be ready. Thanks for pushing me!

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Jess! So many people talk about roasting radishes, but never say how to do it, so thank you for sharing this!

[@jellyroll2102]

for a children's garden, I'd highly recommend "playground" mulch - large cedar chips that don't break down toooo quickly - and are soft underfoot. love your gardens!

[@ConsideritJoyHomestead2007]

Chris really is a great guy. We had the pleasure of meeting him at the Stivers seed swap! We look forward to seeing him and Elyan next weekend at the Great Appalachian Homestead conference!

[@alittlepieceofpromisedland8209]

You inspired us to try radishes for the first time last fall and we LOVED it!. Now it's going to be planted every fall in our garden. Thanks!

[@aprilwestervelt3516]

It’s been so fun watching Little Ben grow up over the past year. :)

[@bravegirlarise7672]

It's funny I came across this old one in my feed talking about radishes because you're the reason I planned French breakfast radishes this year. ❤️✌️

[@donnasmith9939]

I roast radishes like I do beets. On the grill with olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper in a foil packet. Wonderful

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

I too am a radish pusher! I tell people use the in a rosat with /instead of, or in addition to their potatoes, roast them aound a chicken or in a veg roast. #radishpushers unite!💓 I went and visited Chris and the beautiful, Elyn!💓🦋👍

[@heatherfonner]

Oh my goodness, I love listening to you talk with the kids and frogs in the background

[@knitvids]

Glad to see you are feeling better. Sweet little faces and helpers!

[@malounortez1908]

One day when I have even small backyard I will do the same as yours😃 sooo inspiring 👍🏼 esp when you harvest and cooked it 🙌

[@Greens5511]

I am glad u revisited how u roast the radishes! I have been waiting all winter to give this a try ever since I heard u talk about doing it last year....I just planted a few different types. Enjoyed hanging out with you! Glad u r feeling better!!!

[@narroweve]

I love sauteed radishes in Olive oil and garlic. I cook the greens with them after the skins lighten and they get tender. The greens end up being like a spinach amongst the delicious radishes.

[@kathleensmalltowngirl8357]

I hope you feel better soon!

[@leslieMClass80]

Loved hearing the children laughing and playing! I will check out Chris’s channel. My husband is a vet and we always like to support a fellow vet when we can

[@josephblazek8868]

Hi Jesse -Just wanted to thank you for your suggestion about pollinating my tomato blossoms. It "worked". I'm starting to get fruits finally. Thank's again. Joe in Richmond,Va.

[@destinerimmer2247]

I love what you and your family do! I get so excited ever time I see a new video is up! I have even been going back and watching old ones over again! I love watching you guys grow! 💜💚💛💙

[@sherryellesson9665]

In Mexico, I saw plates of radishes on open-air bars where people would eat them with their beer as bar snacks instead of crackers or chips. Makes sense, as their spicy/hot taste is a nice foil for the ice cold beverage. They're also loaded with phyto-nutrients and are on the lists of top-recommended veggies for folks doing Keto.

[@yotagerlie]

Roasted radishes and turnip with Brussels and broccoli. Omg such a great tray of roasted veggies!!

[@jmthomas29]

I gave my grandson a piece of radish we picked the other day. He put it in his mouth, chewed it and spit it into my hand. He's only two and loves helping in the garden.

[@deborahlangton2759]

Subscribed!!! You are a precious person! Your heart makes me emotional! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you!!

[@erinblacquier8068]

Thank you for still posting while not feeling well. Love your videos

[@lisawilson8651]

OMG, Ben stole my heart! Thank you for sharing your adventure beautiful family.

[@wendyweddell2782]

I found him about a month ago thru bug bear homestead. I love him. Watch him all the time especially Wednesday Nights

[@jittaz1]

Love the background sound of the kids playing while your doing your greenhouse "tour"

[@serenitywoods9752]

Growing radishes for the first time because of your videos! Cant wait to try roasting them.

[@luvinmylifenow1]

I hope you get to feeling better!

[@annedmonson9591]

They are really good in beef roast, carrots, onions and radishes cooked in a slow cooker with your favorite seasoning..

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Glad you're feeling better.

[@helenp81]

Radishes are fantastic, I like to steam mine, the whole lot, tops as well, we have them practically everyday!

[@shutupstefanie1104]

i started watching Chris and Elyn and commented on a live chat......he was SO GRACIOUS and kind and encouraging!!!!!!!!

[@onfireforjesus8374]

I had not ever tried the radishes like this until I heard you talk about them last summer. We always ate them with salad. But I've tried them your way and had no idea what I've been missing out on. They are so good like this! Love them!🙂

[@urbsoapco5489]

Love your channel. Growing lots of different radish varieties inspired by you! Hope you are feeling better. Love to you all.

[@nikkikoz4720]

I need those pretty purple radishes in my life

[@janeskinner3497]

I enjoy your “kid garden”. It resembles my “grown up” garden.

[@amberbumpus6174]

Great idea on the roasted radishes! Sounds yummy!

[@ashleysovilla2037]

Gotta try that with the radishes! I also love radish top pesto ❤️

[@TheKonicamcneal]

Thank you for your videos we learn so much

[@charliehoos9773]

I just roasted radishes I grew for the first time because of you 🥰

[@therusticranchgarden]

hello there, jess. the radish recipe is something that I will have to try out. I love it when you say how you cook them. AWESOME. Thanks for the mini tour. Love all your videos. I have learned so much by watching your channel, and even though I'm a small channel, I intend to keep up after my garden so that I can eat healthier for me and my family. God Bless you, sweetie!. Bertha in TEXAS

[@sherrymcdade3366]

Ben is absolutely the cutest little guy!!!!

[@greersonmission]

I've been adding radishes to my beef stew in the crock pot to replace potatoes. They're great!!

[@EskimoInAlaska]

Sowing radishes next week! They ARE so encouraging and pretty to grow.

[@pamelajones4327]

I love roasted radishes. Never liked the spicy things, until I roasted them! A complete game changer! They do t taste like radishes, but potatoes! I love them now!

[@whimsicalaprilsgarden833]

It never occurred to me to grow radishes before as I’d never tried them but after watching one of your videos a few months ago I gave it a go, so many radish varieties, I am yet to try them roasted, a goal for this season :) Love your videos Jess and get well soon! xx Luv all the way from Australia 💗

[@rachgarcia7]

I just love watching you & the family💗 I see the joy you have doing your channel😊

[@april5666]

OMG -- of course, you are right -- roasted radishes (I just did a bunch with a zucchini and a couple of potatoes) are AMAZINGLY GOOD, barely taste like a radish, more like a watery potato with an interesting mild flavour. From now on, there will be many roasted radishes in my future, esp since they only take about 25 days in the garden. Thank you so much, Jess.

[@DieselsMuddie]

Cut the radishes into thin slices and add them to your green salad .... delicious!!!

[@sissinoklahoma2057]

I planted radishes on your say-so and want to thank you! The bugs are leaving my zucchini alone (radishes surround it) AND I used my first radish greens to make a nice Korean dish today. Sharing that recipe with you here: Radish Greens stir fry - Cut up 2 cups radish greens and 1 cup of spinach (frozen okay, just put in strainer with radish greens as you're cleaning them and it'll defrost). Squeeze water out of greens. Heat pan on high heat, add 1 tsp olive oil. Take a clove of garlic and let it pop in the pan for a minute to flavor the oil, then discard garlic. Add greens and stir constantly until all are wilted (less than a minute) remove from heat and pour sauce over greens and stir. Serve with rice as a meal or as a side dish. Sauce ingredients- 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar*, 1 tbsp +/- honey according to preference, 1tsp sesame oil (to taste.) *can use white wine or regular vinegar if no other on hand

[@kerij6624]

Thanks for the tip I hate radishes raw but want to love them since they are so easy to grow. I will definitely try to grow some for roasting after hearing this.

[@saikogrrl]

OMG what a beautiful cat 😻

[@sneezieweezie64]

On the radish food list you can also cook up the radish greens with some olive oil or oil of choice, fresh garlic and onion yummy oh and salt and pepper to taste 😋. Very good video Jess ! Hope feeling better! This season is the worst for allergies.

[@robynsnest1895]

Just subscribed to Single Dad Homesteading. Thank You!!!!!

[@hollienguyen5222]

You can also mash them and yes they along with other roots make a healthier and safer replacement for potatoes. There is a low glycemic potato available to plant (not found in stores, shocker) it's called the Huckleberry gold.

[@weldonnicks8153]

Hope you are feeling better

[@bhanson5541]

Thank you... such a pleasant, calming and enriching video! It's the next best thing to actually having our own farm, and all those wonderful animals! So much work, but so worth it all- 👍🏻☺💓👏 The goats are so good with you, and the garden is growing great. Will try roasting the radishes... sounds delicious! Thanks for the helpful ideas and tips, and for sharing some of your life there... I enjoy every moment! Will subscribe to Chris's channel... thank you for sharing his link. Blessings to you all!! 👏💓🙏💐💞
