I really missed your episodes of "how does it grow" 😳😳
We've nearly finished editing the next one. Hang on -- it's coming at you so soon, and will blow your mind about the way this fruit is farmed!
@@TrueFoodTV Now i try to guess which one it is. Probably a vegetable.
My guess is kiwis 🥝 so excited for the next episode, whatever it is 😁
I miss also 💕💕
This is one of my goals. To plant and harvest my own fruits and vegetables. I will definitely do it once I have my own land.
Thank you for being an inspiration.
It was a goal of mine for many years too. One day, you'll do it!
Ping Tung Eggplant - try microwaving one for about 3 minutes (poke a one or two so it will not explode). It should be soft that you can mash with a fork (leave the top part on so it is easy to handle when frying). Beat an egg, add salt and pepper then dip the mash eggplant and fry both sides in butter. Add parmesian cheese once done. Enjoy.
Oh, wow, Cathy -- that sounds utterly delicious! Thank you for the recipe!!
My boss has been growing those Chinese sucks for years. They are truly the best.
what a lovely garden! feels like a healing activity just collecting the bounty in the sun
Yes, so good for the soul!
Very balanced system! High diversity of plants will lower the disease pressure especially from fungal pathogens. Love your videos! - MU Plant Diagnostic Clinic.
Thank you so much! Means a lot coming from an expert such as you!
I miss your famous tagline "How does it grow?" It makes me feel excited all the time. This vid is interesting still.Good job! 💯🤗❤️
A new episode of How Does it Grow? is coming... THIS MONTH! Stay tuned.
That's beautiful you are in permaculture now , and the joy of harvesting your own food from back garden is not easy to explain .
I didn't know it's Japanese cucumber , but have eaten the similar but longer version in my childhood....
You're right - it's not easy to put the joy of gardening into words. It feeds my soul as well as my family, to be sure!
I love the smell of tomato plants
Me too!
I like that you told us which Zone # instead of a city. Only just now made me realize it doesn't really matter which state or city, and zone is actually more important for this purpose.
So true!
Your videos brighten my day! Thanks fir the tip on letting the bugs roll as long as they aren’t harming the harvest. Your cucumbers are amazing - mine are growing only about waist-high and I’m in the county just north of you. Not sure why. Can’t wait for your next “How does it grow” episode, as well as some more bread baking videos someday.
So glad you've been enjoying the variety of content! A new HDIG is coming this month! I've heard of a lot of people having cucumber problems in the area. You're not alone. I've noticed a good deal more Mexican bean beetle larvae on the leaves this year than before - they look like small spiky orange caterpillars.
Wow! Those tomatoes actually look like candy! So tasty!
Hey friend! I basically eat them like candy. I keep a bowl on my counter and pop one (or two) every time I pass it!
Inspiring.. picking fresh vegetables from your own garden..
Thank you for showcasing all these varieties
Last season you "sold" me to try the"Brad's Atomic grape" and it's the most popular tomatoe I raised of 12 type and Number 2 is my favorite and some of the friends who tried is the terracotta , So much moisture adding to a brarkworth or a steak burger like a double Mano but such a change of flavor compared to the old beef steak tomatoes , Yeah I think they are my favorite tomato, Also we just happened to order the ISIS Candy so I am not copying your whole garden but I agree with what you are saying about the tomatoes.
Might try egg plants if I keep watching TV Garden channel
Thank you for the teaching Lady
Yes! Yes! Yes! - Tomato Season! And those cheeky catbirds...😊
Cheeeeeeeky!
there's nothing more satisfied than growing ur own food
Your Baker's Creek Seeds Company are helping you choose I believe.
Thank you for the teaching Lady
I love shelly beans. I grow Scarlett runners because the hummingbirds love the flowers... And I love the monster shellies that r purple and black. They freeze or can well. They r wonderful in lots of different dishes . Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Ohhh, I have to look out for the purple and black ones!!! Thanks for the recommendation!
I have a lot of 🍅 too nice very nice
8:46 yes we do saute them!
Here, in Indonesia, we often call it 'Bayam batik' or Batik Spinach in English.
Batik is our traditional clothes/pattern, this spinach has this particular name due to its bicolor pattern.
And they indeed delicious and nutritious!
wow delicious nicole. amazing i love watching your channels from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
What a beautiful garden 🪴
Amazing work 🤩
Thank you for sharing 🌸
Enjoy 😉
Thank you for watching!

That cucumber trellis is magical!
What a great harvesting, love you beautiful garden 1💕
Ohh Goodness! Im a fan of you Nicole!
So good to watch these videos of yours knowing you really love plants !
I have butter beans one time in my garden the Chinese spinach looks like these flowers I plant
Beautiful harvest! 💗
Thank you! ❤
i love deep frying eggplant. sliced it up thinly and coat them with beaten eggs and then spiced flour and deep fried it. its lovely to eat by its own with sauce or as a side dish for rice or noodles. red amaranth is rich in iron and can be stir fried with garlic and sweet onion and making soup.
Thanks for the tips! Sounds delicious!
Great dear friend for video I support your channel thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!!
they way you grab cucumber,, *my dirty mind started XD
Gorgeous garden. You've done an amazing job.
Thank you! ❤
Wish you sujusted cucumbers late fall for I plan earlier and have my orders done but highly respect your choices of tomatoes so will review this next fall.
Thornbury Terracotta is the only tomato I eat whole and as delicious as you told me I believe 2 season ago and yours favorite for taste. Your advice is spot on! My neighbors from South America love it for most of her dishes. Black Brandywine is my favorite on beef burgers and bacon sandwiches. 🥓
I'm bragging on Thornbury Terracotta and got Gardener Scott testing them and "Sanders and Boots" also testing " Prairie Plant girl " also tested it and reported it's on top of her keeper list and repeating it next season.
Give you credit for showing Thornbury Terracotta first as far as I know.
Thanks 👍
Super
Another great video Nicole! 👍🏾
Thank you! ❤
Beautiful
That is an awesome garden.
Great video, thanks for sharing😊

Cool! Which cucumber are you liking best?
@@TrueFoodTV Hands down-the Japanese cuc. Love that I don't need to peel it and it is SO yummville! You? Your garden is EPIC, btw. Very inspirational; thanks again for sharing it with us!

Thanks for watching!
Awesome content. Looking forward to more frequent uploads Miss Nicole
Look out for weekly content... starting NOW! ;)
You already answered may question in IG about that red bush. which is Amaranth.😘😘 thank you
You're very welcome!
Cut that part off, yes...spoken like a chef 😂
😆
nice harvest.
Thank you kindly!
Glad your videos are back
Coming at you with weekly videos now - watch out! ;)
@@TrueFoodTV 🎉🎉🎉
I love the smell of tomato plants! Mine have not ripped yet, we plant them to late in the year because we had cold weather until May
I really think there is nothing that smells better than tomato’s - they should bottle the smell and sell it as an air freshener 😀
I second that! One of my favorite scents in the world!
Thanks for the video. Beautiful garden. Love your other videos “How it grows”. Was just eating my garden food for dinner. Beans, zucchini tomatoes with pesto and smoked tofu.
Sounds like a gorgeous meal!
Some birds will peck for water (rumor has it) so having a birdbath might help. I grow the same Japanese cucumbers and they are prolific. I gave a couple of bags away today and tons more are coming. Thanks for the tour, your garden always looks so tidy and organized.
Yes, I too have been dropping them off to all my neighbors. Really good idea with the birdbath!!! It has been hot.
Relaxing Fresh and Fun all in this video. People need more that kind of video. Thanks for making amazing content 👍
Thank YOU for the sweet words!
So nice
epic garden
🙌
Nice
Hello from Indonesia, hope you guys stay safe and healthy ❤
Hello! And thank you. You too!
Nice to see you here. I'm Indonesian too.
Great video-Amazing garden-I am jealous of the variety you have VS what I buy from the store.
It's sad how few varieties are in our grocery stores, right? It is certainly one of the treats of growing a garden.
Watching while eating cucumber 😂
Nicole so lovely and have very positive charisma
Love it 😊❤️🙂
So glad you enjoyed it!
@@TrueFoodTV 😊👌👍👏💐
I love your Vlog ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!
All the best👍 never give up👍👍
Hi Nicole,
You sure have a beautiful garden .
Hey, Michael!! Hope you're doing well!
@@TrueFoodTV Yes 🙌🏻 I’m doing very well.
Thanks 😊
Such a beautiful garden 🪴 I subscribed
Nic is back! 😍
I'm back baby! Going weekly again too! Keep a look-out!
I'd make a vegetable stew using all those veggies
I’m Zone 7 too. Rutledge Tennessee 😊
Welcome back!
Thank you! ❤
Love this woman......
I have casper egg plant in my house back in goa India it taste amazing
How did I miss this notification 😭 . It's incredible info for my garden
I'm glad you found the video!
‘That you fall in love with cucumbers’
The way you touch the cucumber when you speak this.
Am I the only guy thought something dirty ????
FYI cucumber spears are great with tajin look for it at walmart
Nice garden I have that one the long one 🥒
You are stylish gardener...
😘
You do really have Indonesian friend? That’s wonderful I’m also from Indonesia. I’ve been waiting for these to be uploaded! Thanks for sharing
Yes. That Indonesian friend is yours truly 😎
Yes, Laila!!!!! She's an incredible, accomplished coffee expert too! 💫🙌❤
Lemon boy heirloom cherry plum and some other ones beef stake I have so much I have to give them away no time to make sause the cherry I freeze dem and use dem
One of the pleasures of the garden is to give the produce away, right? So glad your garden is doing well!
Hi Nicole. Love to see this new video. Hope you can try Indonesian amaranth soup asap 😉
Girl, it's on my menu this weekend!!
@@TrueFoodTV yayyyy can't wait
I remember, (when I was very young) being told that we should prune our daffodils after flowering. Years later someone corrected me and said, "If you leave them they will naturally extract the nutrients from their leaves and you will have a stronger [product]" I wonder if that is the same with the cucumber leaves?
Try the HoneyComb Cherry Tomato! It taste like there is Honey in them and they are the sweetest. 😊
Whoa, that sounds great! Thanks for the tip!
I'm growing, I think it's the way she handles those cucumbers, with care that makes for better growing. 🤕 My girlfriend doesn't understand my appreciation, she loved the Amalfi episode though as she is from there, I have 5 year old Amalfi lemon trees at home here in the UK but this winter I will be giving them supplementary lighting to help them along as they have slowed down being in the house over the cold months
Wow, Andy, growing Amalfi lemon trees in the UK is a FEAT! Bravo!
Free Recipe - Egg plants boiled with cumin powder.....drain all the water ...... turn to paste ..... salt as a preservative ..... refrigerate ..... serve with bread, buns ......... 1 Lt jar very good........
what do you do for pests/bugs?
Zone 7 wow how bigs your garden?
I have six beds, each one is 4 feet by 8 feet, with a little side bed of blueberry bushes and asparagus.
So nice to see your video after so long. Such a lovely garden. 👌👌 Aren't the white eggplants GMO and unhealthy?
No, I only grow heirloom, non-GMO varieties in my garden. The white eggplant came from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. White is actually an historical color for eggplant - it's what helped inspire the name *egg*plant! ;)
Thnk u for replying 😊
do you have fig trees in your garden
Please do Golden South Sea Pearls in the Philippines.
I bought cucumbers probably called Natu Fushinari．
But I know few recipes in spite of living Japan．
Would you pick up more than any other recipe?
I'm looking forward to act out ones.
One comment, beautiful Nicole, I've always heard don't throw any cuttings, scraps, wormy veggies on the ground because it can encourage pest and disease. Compost those. Lovely garden, peace!
Oh, I always clean up after myself! Goes right into the compost bin!
😍😍😍
hello from Vietnam
Hello! :)
At 4:20, is that Malabar Spinach you have in there?
Edit: ahh Red Amaranth or Chinese Spinach. Very beautiful!
It is beautiful, isn't it? Good guess on malabar though!
Did you train the cucumbers up the trelles.....like tomatoes or will they run on their on kinda like string or green beans ?....
The cucumbers mostly climbed on their own. I just directed a few tendrils that pushed through the fencing and wanted to reach across the inside of the arch.
how can you differentiate between potato fruit and tomato fruit?
