    Can I make a suggestion that would help me? I find it helpful to know what time of the year that you are planting. I know that it is different for specific parts of the country but it would still help me to know what time of the year it is in the video. You could just tell us in the video that this is the "1st day of April" for example. This is the part that confuses me. I am not sure when to start my seeds and when to put them in the ground and when to harvest. I know that there are guides that can tell this info but I learn better by observation rather than reading. For some reason it clicks better and I retain the information when I watch someone planting. Thanks for the consideration. I really love your step by step videos. I have learned so much watching them.

    Hey Hollis and Miss Nancy!! I talked to you guys earlier in the year and have been so busy with the garden this year I hadn’t thought about it, but as a first year gardener, I had an amazing year. You wouldn’t believe it, I had tomatoes that got upwards of 17ft tall! Amazing peas, peppers and kale. I wanted to thank you guys for the good advice and lessons. Nothing like seeing family smile after eating fresh veggies.
    For only getting a maximum sun exposure of 6 hours, we did real well. Thanks guys!

    Thank you! What a gorgeous harvest. We had enjoyed my version of "Irish Sushi" yesterday, which is a generous point cut corned beef brisket, braised for 5 hours until succulent and tender, then two large heads of cored cabbage, goes into the braising liquid and gently steamed for a few moments. I remove those leaves, slice up the brisket and roll them up in the leaves (I usually need to remove the tougher ribs) and drizzle them with melted butter, salt and pepper. We follow a Ketogenic Lifestyle and sir, you had my mouth watering for more as they're already gone!

    Great harvest of cabbage. I have picked a few heads so far this year. One thing I learned is when the cabbage is ready. Enjoy watching your video's, because I have learned a lot. Will be adding to my square foot gardening beds, so that I can expand my crops. Will use your idea for lettuce, very easy to grow and pick from what I see. I guess when you move, you will need to start your earth garden all over again. I know that, that will be a lot of work to get started again. Hope your move goes easy, I know when we moved, it was a pain going through 34 years of retain stuff. Keep up the good work, your video's are great.

      Thanks for watching. Yes getting the earth garden up and running in Florida will be a lot of work. Sandy soil needs lots of composting. I plan to take my time and do it right. Planning to really expand the container garden operation. Also adding several animal pens. We will do update videos along the way👍

    Great Video!
    I live in Northern CA - SF Bay Area. About 2-3 months ago I planted some Napa Cabbage. I planted them in two areas; one in a flower bed in my front yard and the rest ( 5 plants) in my backyard. The one in the front yard is maturing nicely and is looking very full. I think It will produce soon. The ones in the backyard are still looking puny! Maybe I need to water them more which I 'm already starting to do - 2-3 times a week. I'm beginning to think the soil needs to be roto tilled because maybe the roots aren't going deep enough? And also the soil isn't staying as moist as it should. I'd appreciate your input when you have a chance! Thanks!!

A shame because the back yards are big but Thankfully so are the front. If they are working in the front, stick to it. This spring I will put it all in containers in front and get some chickens for the back! Good luck and Good Bless

    Beautiful cabbage indeed! Those big leaves you threw away, are they edible or you just don't like those?

      Yes they are edible too. I was focused on showing what the heart looks like. Nancy makes cabbage rolls with them

    do i have to grow it in small contaners first? can I just plant the seeds directly in my main garden?

    • @HollisNancysHomestead
      @HollisNancysHomestead  4 роки тому +1

      I recommend starting from seed in seed starter trays then transplant seedlings to earth bed when they are 4-6” with 2-3 true leaves

      We eat and share them as we harvest them. We don't try to store them. They will last a few weeks in the refrigerator 😍😍🐶

      Hollis & Nancy's Homestead Hollis take your garden dirt with you , it's all sandy down there in Florida. Western N.C. is wonderful , but if you want to fish the big waters that's good to.

      LOL!! I was born and raised in Jacksonville so I fully understand the challenges of the sandy soil. Only reason we are moving to Florida is to be neat kids and Grandkids otherwise we would have selected somewhere with better soil. I will have to condition the garden the first full year to grow vegetables. While I am getting the soil ready, I will be working on building and setting up all the animal pens. Going to be a busy first two years. We plan to do update videos of setting up the homestead👍

      Hollis & Nancy's Homestead The thought of family crossed my mind. All the best for you, however it's only a 8 to 9 hour drive , running between 60 mph to 70 most of the way maybe less. I'll leave the two of you along now.Let me know if you want to spend a night or two in the Smokies, two extra bedrooms, and I'll keep watching. So Good!

    Is the spacing on center? Because if not then you could half it

    • @partyof9418
      @partyof9418 2 роки тому +2

      Like if the package says 18 it doesn’t mean 18 inches between EACH plant it means 9
      For example if a package says 12 inches, take a ruler, place the seed on the six inch line, you can plant a seed six inches left and six inches right for a total of twelve, ive done this with lots of crops and not only reduced empty space but also less weeding because of less empty space.
      I do the square foot method in an in ground garden bed, not sure about row gardens

    When you say you are bringing them out to the hardening table, do you bring them back inside at night, then out again each morning? How long do you have to do that?

      I hand pull weeds on the row and use a cultivator between the rows. I do this often as needed. Here is a link showing how I use the cultivator:
