Grow mushrooms on logs. Part 1 - Inoculation
This video series is all about growing mushrooms at home. This first video is about inoculating oak logs with shiitake mushroom plugs. This easy method requires very little work, and can utilize a shady area in your garden or property. I placed my logs behind my chicken coop where it's about 80% shade. They will stay here throughout the summer as they inoculate, and we will look to induce fruiting next fall. Stay tuned!
Happy Growing,
John

Flipping a no dig garden bed.
Переглядів 2302 роки тому
Watch as I flip a 4'x6' garden bed from Tabasco peppers to fava beans. There's no need to till or disrupt the soil. Simply cut the plants out, let the roots decompose in place, top dress with compost, and plant seeds! Now to make some tasty hot sauce! #Nodig #Notill #Compost
Long Beans - harvesting and cooking - 3 different recipes.
Переглядів 5813 роки тому
Long beans do very well in our climate #zone9a, and will thrive during the hottest months. If you ask me, they are also quite tasty - recipes below. I can always count on long beans to produce a big yield! They are easy to grow, and easy to cook. Try for yourself. Stir fry is my "go to" for long beans (3 recipes here), but you can substitute long beans for any green bean recipe as well! Are you...

PICKLED SWEET PEPPERS. Preserve your garden harvest in the fridge!
Переглядів 21 тис.3 роки тому
Quick and easy, refrigerator style pickled peppers. These sweet peppers will keep for months in the fridge, but I doubt they will last that long. We love tossing them into salads, on sandwiches, or just eating as a snack. We had tons of success growing Italian horn and lunchbox peppers this year! Both are small, sweet peppers that make the perfect little pickles. In this video, I show how to ma...

I love making quick and healthy meals straight from the garden. In this episode, watch me whip up a simple shrimp bucatini with my garden pomodoro sauce! I chopped up five of my ugliest tomatoes, perfect for a fast and tasty pasta sauce. Recipe below. Enjoy! Quick and Easy Pomodoro: Serves 2-3 12 oz Bucatini Pasta 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 medium sweet onion (I used 2 small) 8 cloves gar...
I couldnt believe he used a plastic container to pickle the peppers!
Boiled water in plastic is like nails on a chalkboard. Other than that, great recipe bro
Thanks for sharing - love your video
Lemon grass
Great video, good luck with your channel, I’m thinking you have a cheeky sense of humour that just wants to pop out! And yes, it’s lemongrass 💛💛💛
Awesome thank you. What would have to be done to make them last on the shelf and not in fridge?
I live in the south too and it’s really hot right now! I like to garden and I found your video very helpful!
Asparagus should be planted 12” deep
12 inches deep for industrial growing, and higher latitudes where you want to be able to have a tractor and be able to cultivate the ground safely and not destroy the crowns. For home, gardening in warmer latitudes you only need 3-4inches really unless you are intent on trying to grow white asparagus
Is that a gigantic lemongrass??? That's my guess..
I'm just seeing this video for the first time. I think the last plant is lemon grass. I grow it in a pot as well, and it can get pretty enormous. During covid time, I drank ginger & lemon grass tea with honey every day. I still do it on a regular basis. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot. 😊
I prefer growing the Japanese Eggplant, because its texture is more delicate than a large seedy eggplant and it has a distinct mild flavor. Stir fry with Thai Basil, sweet peppers, glass noodles, and a little shrimp for a real treat.

I grow long beans, they ARE great! I also stir fry them, but your recipes have a nice flair, will be trying these tonight! Thanks, hope to see more content from garden to table, maybe with eggplant?
It's May 12th and i feel as though it's too late to plant some of these, but i am going to do it anyway. Thanks John!
damn I planted mine upside down then lol
I did that initially then realized half way through planting that they were roots and not stalks and had to undo and redo some work
Hey whats that next to your sweet potato 😎🤣👀
I see a kindred soul😂
Lemon Grass. 😊
Great video just found your channel, thank you Chef
Bambara groundnuts
Awesome, I just bought some. Thanks for showing me what I need to do next week, appreciate it.

Trying this today. 10/31/23
Question what the best way to use fertilizer on these plants
Any organic fertilizer safe to use
@@Realatmx I tried growing this vegetable for the first time last year it took a very long time for it to grow to any size but seems like a very healthy vegetable to be eating
New subscriber here. 2023 videos?
I just watched this, thank you for all the great and straight forward info, you´re really good at doing videos, keep the good work !
Lemongrass
Awesome video!!
How would you prepare this for a dish and eat this hairy thing? 😂
We can eat bulbs only... Or can eat leaves too.... Fennel seeds are great mouth freshener really good if you have bad breath/ good for gut health it helps digest food relief gases
How do I get the wood? I live in the desert. Any ideas?
Are you putting your germinated starts into compost perlite and peat moss? Growing in buckets in Central Florida
That's quite a privacy fence. Looks like you're really clean house with those loofahs
The only thing I would change is not use the plastic but rather a glass container
Im looking at heat loving gardens, in Arizona we get hotter, no humidity gets us. Also ive finally got soil, not PH +8, 0.5% organics, got that to soil levels now, for humidity i have a dedicated mister on timer that helps at just sun up, and sundown. Im a stuborn gardener, now just being trying to outsmart bugs.
I can’t even get past the smell of eggplant to even attempt to eat it. I can’t even get close to the plants without feeling sick. I tried to make eggplant Parmesan with some of our garden eggplants and I couldn’t even do it. 😂
Perhaps you have a solanine allergy?
Lemongrass
Their flowers are edible and great in quesadillas. I like to harvest early mornings close to sunrise. Sometimes you can catch them right when they’re about to open.
Looking great. If you apply hay under the strawberries and around the base it protects your fruit from rotting. I tried this method last year and I got great results. It also helps retain moisture.
Do you mean straw? Great tip though, I could see this working 👍
@@christyantila8525 yes. I get higher yields. Less rotting.
Was that a dead rat in the soil
Ain't the first time I seen a rat buried in dirt
Try walking barefoot in your garden.
Nice share
New gardener here who has long beans started for the first time… these recipes look amazing! Hoping I have a great crop so I can make them!
Lemon grass
I just planted dry crowns under 3" of compost/peat and water them in with root stimulator. Will they survive?
Yes they should
But not this year
Seem like summer is bean party
I want to grow more peppers. Where can I get some of those 23 varieties you planted. Stores have like 5 variety of peppers.
If you haven't found any pepper seeds yet a couple of good places to try for seeds are Baker Creek rare Seed Company out of Missouri. the other one is MI Gardner out of Michigan they both have website and UA-cam channels
This would be better with some Marvin Gaye in the background…
I just made pickles for the first time! Waiting impatiently to eat them… thank you for the video :)
Just tremendous! I I cannot wait to make to surprise my wife & son with this meal.(he loves shrimp and pasta so this is perfecto!)
Love lemongrass I keep it around my patio
