That swagger walk in the first few seconds is meme worthy - dude is about to drop his masterpiece on us and he knows it

[@urbanfarmstead]

😂 thanks

I was almost gonna comment on it...then I decided not to. Then I saw your comment. "Yeah I GOT VEGETABLES...WHAT, PUNK?!

[@maiasobers3719]

I thought that I was tripping.ok,exactly😂

[@braniganrobertsonlaw]

I'm pumped to see the Orchard update and Sub-Tropical section. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I’m hoping to have both of those videos ready soon!

[@sylvietherrien5617]

So happy to see a video! Where do you get your seeds?

I appreciate your efforts in our blazing Northern California sun. I’d love to see how you faired after the triple digits the past 6 six weeks! Stay cool!

OMG! That tomato row is what my dreams are made of. They look INCREDIBLE!!!

One of the cleaness beautiful garden I have ever seen. Not just throwing pots, raise beds or buckets and buckets line up everywhere like a lot of the gardeners I see lol on their channels. This is how I want my garden to look like not just to eat but nice and clean to look at as well. Fruits trees they can be all together in one area space out they still look pretty 😁

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

For the overgrown okra - it really depends on the texture (if its very woody and tough, there is no saving it) but if it has just a bit of tenderness left, you can slice it and cook it down until it's soft. Another use is non-edible - you can dry the very long overgrown ones and use them in flower arrangements.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I love the idea of using them in arrangements

[@NorthToSouthChannel]

@@urbanfarmstead I think it would look so beautiful with dahlias. :)

[@jenniferwilkerson6495]

That’s such a great idea!

[@OverlandTrailer]

Spectacular. I miss gardening in Sac - such a great climate. Love seeing your work paying off.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks so much! Yes, we’re pretty fortunate here

[@josemontesrodriguez9141]

I didn't know you were in Sac, I'd have watched every video had I known. Thanks for the clarification. I'm also in Sacramento.

[@jo-annjewett198]

Interplant carrot seed with radish seed and you can naturally thin as you harvest the fast growing radishes.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Excellent idea!

[@ayesha625]

YAY I'm so glad you posted again! I love everything about your garden: what you're growing, your raised bed set up, everything!! Keep the videos coming 🍅

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you so much! Many more videos to come!

[@drehogan115]

I love growing okra. Please let the large ones dry so you can collect the seeds. (You can actually eat the large ones. It just takes longer... much longer for them to cook down.)

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you so much for these recommendations!

[@uakari]

Once ripe, you can discard the husk and cook the seeds if they're still greenish. I heard that you could roast and grind the ripe seeds to make a coffee substitute.

[@urbanfarmstead]

@@uakari interesting. Thank you

[@ijahdagang6121]

The plants are all lush and fresh, success and good health always

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you!

[@dawndawn6946]

I can’t believe you were gone for three weeks! The garden is so healthy. I didn’t leave my garden once, and the pest pressure was crazy this year!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks! It was a ton of work to create this garden, but that upfront work is now paying off huge as I knew it would!

[@yolandasotolopez]

the pests have also been awful in my tiny garden... so discouraging

Can't wait for your update on the orchard. I watched your fruit tree pruning video a while ago and just implemented some of those techniques in my own orchard now. Thank you for your content!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Wonderful! I’m in the process of filming it now

[@thequestioneverythingconfe9263]

Man I've missed your videos. Hope all is well with you and your family.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks! Wish u had the time to create them more often

[@loniluvsyou271]

You have #gardengoals going on there. I would love to see what kinds of processes you do to preserve your yield. Or general recipes you enjoy with your fruits and veg.❤

[@TheNumberParte]

Kyle, your videos are always super well-thought-out, full of great info, & so easy to watch! Been watching since your garage storage, soil test, & prop station videos way back when… certainly before we ever knew we’d move to Sacramento. Since then, we’ve moved, experienced, COVID, bought a house (with a yard!), discovered the CRFG, and also discovered one of our favorite KZbinrs lives in our clime! Looking forward to seeing your little semi-tropical food forest grow up & gleaning all we can from your videos. Also to our first FigFest - Cheers!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Hey! Wow that’s awesome! Sacramento is a great place to grow food, that’s so cool you’re living here now! So I’ll see you at the Fig Fest tomorrow?

[@indiebaby]

Sharing and trading your harvest is probably one of the most joyful experiences in life, if you so have a green thumb. Videos like this make me want to run away to the woods and make myself a home in the hills!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Yes! I love having so much to share!

[@Leanne-zk4jk]

Kyle, your videos are just a joy. Thanks for all the inspiration! Definitely growing tomatillos next year - and staking my tomatoes differently lol!!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I’m glad you’re getting some inspiration for next summer’s garden

[@ptmcdowell]

Great tour -- such abundance! On the too-large okra pod question, I've sold bags of them in the fall, after allowing them to get very large and cutting and drying to a Kraft paper brown color. Folks used them in wreaths, wired them to sticks for use in floral arrangements, and even just piled them high in a decorative bowl. Not sure about all varieties, but the large, dried pods I've grown have the additional, fun benefit of being natural "rattlers": when the pods are shaken, the seeds make a pleasing sound! I've also let large pods stay on the plants until they turn brown naturally, and, before they begin to split open, I harvest after a few days of dry weather, allow them to further dry, and save the seeds for planting next year.

[@Crazyidea1620]

Over grown okra we keep for next season seeds .. . Let them dry on plant itself ..u can make your own seeds . Everytime u don't have to spend money for seeds ..

[@raefaulkner5497]

❤WOW absolutely fantastic, the transformation is excellent. Looking forward to seeing the orchard and food forest. 😊

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks so much!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! It’s my pleasure to share!

[@Mbusowabalondo]

Im so happy to see someone his veggies grows so tall i thought mine is because i grow them organic with zero fertilizers. I use the village methods of using dead leaves and trees as compost thats it❤❤❤ 18:50 ❤

[@santoshbaral5917]

Its my goal to have a garden like this someday. Thanks. Eagerly waiting for the food forest video. Please don't make us wait long for it 😛

[@urbanfarmstead]

Awesome! I’ve been creating videos to show ever step of my process, so I hope you find them helpful on you journey to creating your dream garden

[@AlBGood]

So happy to see you again 🎉

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you

[@Reed12119]

For okra we call it lady fingers and try to cook “ Bendi masala “ it’s so good

[@reginaneufeld1092]

Wow, you have an amazing, organized, CLEAN garden...well done!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sarala1jan]

Over grown okra : leave it on the plant to turn until it dries or the skin turn to brown and then only pluck it. Let it dry on kitchen counter or under the sun, once dried open the okra, you’ll see seeds and use the seeds for your next gardening project :). You can also give away the seeds for free because there will be many many seeds. I am envious of your garden. When I get my own house with land I will grow all kinds of veggies and fruits. Enjoy gardening extra on my behalf :). If you like Indian curries, use okra to with lentils to make curries 😊

[@foxysoundsinmyhead]

the carrot exploded due to lack of drainage in my experience carrots grow great im a container thats sandy and loose or even a hay bale thats been prepped to plant seeds in. this is based off of my experience as a hobby gardener that has been experimenting growing foods in containers and the ground since a child. try it out and see if it works

[@eljacalitodeandrus9905]

Always impress me seeing such big and beautiful tomatoes. I just keep thinking I will get there. How often do you fertilize? Your garden looks incredible.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you! I usually try to fertilize every 6 weeks, but this summer has been very busy, so only twice so far. I have a full video on fertilizing summer vegetables if you’re interested

[@nildaotero2933]

Your garden looks great. You can leave the over grown okra on the plant and use them for seeds.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you

[@caydancebloom]

for your over-ripe okra... let it go so you can collect the seeds. Thanks for sharing your dream come true. This is the first video of yours that I have seen, but I can see you have worked really hard and I can see you are beaming with pride. I'm looking forward to watching your other tour videos. I like your hack for the tomatoes... I doubt I will ever need it being in Alaska. I finally got my Georgia Candy Roaster to bloom as well as a couple of the tomato plants. I don't know if anything will come of it, but this year is much more of a success than I thought it would be. I'm surprised you aren't mulching... being in such a hot climate I would expect mulching would be important to retain moist soil. Thanks again for sharing. I have had lofty dreams of my own that seem to be taking forever to realize! You beaming with such joy after all your hard work... salve to my weary soul!

[@SoxInTheGarden]

Omgosh, never heard of SunGreen cherry!!! Queen of Malanalco tomatillo? Ooh! A sweet jalepeno.. Flaming Flare Fresno chili. Hmm. Striped Armenian. So many new seeds to seek out for next season! Looking forward to the orchard and tropical section!!! ❤

[@urbanfarmstead]

All great varieties! I’m excited to share those soon!

[@mourbonaventure7475]

omg I came for the orchard :P haha cant wait.

[@urbanfarmstead]

I’ve been filming each tree as the fruit is ripe because they all ripen at different times throughout the season, but I’m hoping to film the final shots for that orchard tour video this week

[@liasosa4100]

Great video, do you have one on how to prune tomato plants, I am never sure how to do this correctly. Thanks

[@urbanfarmstead]

Not yet. I do very little pruning with this type of weave system

Bro I was hoping for this update. Great job!

[@olivern.juniorwilliams1199]

Very good and informative video. The over grown okra can still be eaten, but best if left to dry on the plant for seeds. Or I saw someone suggested okra water.

[@Shawn-wt4kh]

That looks so serene and beautiful. A place I'd love to spend time in. I might recreate this.

[@urbanfarmstead]

You should!

Sounds Wonderful! Thank you for checking out my videos

[@mercynamikoye9084]

i love watching these garden videos. they are so beautiful. But as a viewer from Africa i cant help but notice that in America and Europe you guys are pretty obsessed with tomatoes...its fascinating.

[@TanyaMBowers]

Beautiful! Bravo! Thank you for sharing! Everyone should grow okra. 2 things about okra…the boys eat very young okra raw off of the plant. Two, if you let the okra go to seed, they turn into a beautiful pods that can be used as decor in a bowl or on a table!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thank you for these tips!

[@huytheskigod]

The Striped Armenian I got from you was going crazy and then paused when it got really hot. Now, it's starting back up again! I counted about a dozen small fruit on the one vine this morning! They're delicious. I got one that was almost as tall as my 11mo old daughter.

[@urbanfarmstead]

Oh that’s awesome! Sounds like you’re enjoying them as much as I do!

Wow so much abundance! Your garden is amazing, thanks for sharing your journey with us. 😍

You can use the seeds to replant .that what we do in the Caribbean or it self plants it self by bursting from the tree when it dries

Yay! A new Urban Farmstead video-Thanks to you, my new peach tree is progressing fabulously (4 whole peaches on a beautifully vase-shaped structure. Have you ever grown Brad Gate's Black Beauty? I'd love to try my hand at it (mostly for the esthetics, tbh) and wonder how "diva" they are :) I allowed two carrots to go to seed over the winter- HOLY MOLY-8 ft tall, dozens of gorgeous flowers (that last weeks as cut flowers btw) and now- thousands of seeds. So excited to see your next videos!!

[@urbanfarmstead]

Thanks! That’s awesome! Yes, actually I’m growing Black Beauty right now. They are great, but I think they get a better black color in more mild climates because they need full sun on the fruit to turn black, but our full sun is a bit much

[@zjhuma]

Hello Kyle, hope all are well with you! Just love what you have done. Wondering if I could visit your garden being a fellow Sacramentan. Hope you'd allow me. Please please do let me know. Thanks!

[@sophielamptey5106]

A suggestion. Overgrown okra fruit can be left to dry on the plant then harvested. You can plant seeds the following year / gift/ sell seeds.
