Great information but I just want to say I love how she looks at her dad. I can see that she is entertained by him, loves him and respects him. That is just so great! Thanks for the vid. Oh and my greens don’t look nearly that good🤔
Yes sir. Thank you & your daughter for sharing the knowledge. I will try her harvest method. We grow a patch of purple top turnips every year on our homestead. I stir fry them in olive oil with onions & garlic. A lil salt n pepper to taste. With corn bread & baked chicken on da side. Oooooo MY GOODNESS DATS SUM GUD EATIN 😋
That was a good mess of turnip greens. So help me I can smell them all the way up here in East Tennessee, and they smell good. Thanks for the video, Rough Cut.
Amazing people are still harvesting their gardens. Not here in Maine. That was a lot of growth in 3 weeks. You and your household will be eating healthy brother Duke. Must do your heart good having your daughter take an interest and help you. Thanks for sharing brother. Love and blessings to you and your family.
Thanks for the video. Been doing turnip greens for yrs now. Dont grow my own tho, but this is oct, 2023, and i have a feeling many more people will wish they had a garden, and many more will begin to grow their own foods. My husband and i are older and not really able to garden now. We buy from the amish close to home. Glad ur teaching so many cause its a great tool and going to be a life or death need in the world we find ourselves in now. That is ,is if want to eat healthy and good. People can have all the junk at the grocery store now and all they are putting in our foods. Thanks and God bless
Hey Ole Duke. Wow. Beautiful daughter, beautiful garden, God is good. I freeze more than i can here. Always worked for me. Have a great Thanksgiving 👍👍
I enjoy my greens and turnips ....and can make a meal from it !! Just found y'alls channel...I'm from Louisiana... Your welcome to stop by and visit ..Great video 💗
I'm afraid that I would have had to get out my knife and cut up one of those turnips. Mmmmm. Your leaves are down, too. I have tor rake before I weld, now, or I have to chase fires. Good looking eats!!
Hey Duke, Mmm 😋 😋 turnip greens are awesome! Goodness gracious lol at the size of that turnip! Deer loves purse lane...great addition to a leafy green salad. Y’all make a great team! Thanks for sharing and take care brother! God bless. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Yes that Purslane is good stuff..Lovely to see you and your daughter out there with the good size turnips and greens👍That’s a good system you have there for doing the greens👍
Oh man! When I grow them, I put them up the same way, Duke. I do that with "beggie" greens as well (Rutabaga). They taste the same to me. I like them with salt/pepper/butter........and a dash of cider vinegar. Both get too much stem on them, so your girls idea is great. I believe it would save a pile of tedious trim work!
I live in rural N.C and love to hunt, fish, and garden. You have a good setup for cleaning and cooking your turnips. I couldn't help to think of how good it would be for cleaning fish also.
Good idea to just clip em a little higher. Y'all got a great haul! We have that in the yard, too. Didn't know it was edible. Need to get us some nice tubs like that. Nice packaging technique.
Out of all the greens , Mustards are my favorite ..But i love em all...last week I put a ham hock in there and some tomatoes that were gettin squishy ...Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
New sub. love your channel. When I was about five or six years old, I was down at the farm with my Dad, and I remember I was "swimming" in the trough, which was about six foot diameter and two feet deep, filled with algae and the water from that well had a high sulfur content, but I thought it was pretty neat. Anyway, he had gone out to Peepaw's garden and pulled up a turnip and was cutting off chunks of it and eating it. I tried it, but it was too peppery for me. Now, fast forward 65 years or so, and just yesterday, the wife and I were at the local open air market and I picked up two bunches of turnips. They were early turnips cuz the leaves were still really small and so were the turnips - not those bit ole five inch around things. Got home, put the greens to cook and boiled the turnips along with some russets and red potatoes. Wife thought the greens were overcooked, but they melted in the mouth, like butter. And, I cooked stems and all, but I suppose since they were young greens, the stems hadn't really toughened up, though. Anyway, looking forward to planting turnips this year. Last year's garden was a disaster - massive heat, but due to my auto-watering system, bugs and weeds killed everything out. 😪😪😪😪
Thanks for another great learning lesson on storing good vegetables. Didn’t you also teach me poke salad preparation. I have poke growin on the property now and cook and harvest every season thanks to your informative video
Yes sir you're right, you don't ever want to put hot food in a refrigerator or freezer until it cools. Looked like that worked out well good idea from the daughter. 👊💀
I’d love to see a video on how to fix purslane, I like the idea of cutting em a little higher! Your daughter has great taste in music! Do you ever cook mustard and turnips together? That’s my favorite! Loving this channel! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, I did not know that you could eat turnip leaves. Turnip is one of my most favorite veggies. I could eat it every day. Thank you so much for this informative video. Gonna see if hubby might give this a try next year. God bless you and your family.
Howdy Brother Duke- that worked out well cuttin it up higher. Gonna be some good eatin come winter time. Blame armadillos dug up our greens. Wonder how one of them would taste cooked up with some greens? Take care and Lord bless y’all
When Thanksgiving I made a special dinner and stood in front of a sync for a couple of hours cleaning crinkle-cut they turned out to be the best tasting greens I ever cooked out ever after all that time however you cannot eat them for send Indian
they look real good turnip do not do well this far north. I do grow Swiss chard i have pressure canned it a few time it came out real well also. we freeze it the same wayas you did
I've never tried turnip greens but I want to now. How do you season them? I've eaten purslane. The leaves are very tasteless but you could put them in something. I put them in salad. I pickled the stems too. Those were decent. I haven't had any since I got my chickens because they usually pick it clean. lol.
I like to fry some bacon and stir fry onion and garlic and throw it together in the skillet...cook it all in scrambled eggs sometimes too...add some Tony Chacheres or some red hot mmm good
@@TreasureHuntingSWPA412 hey I was thinking about you a minute ago...frying some butternut squash cut up like french fries in olive oil..i know you said you didn't like the squash but if you never tried it sure is sweet
@@RuffCut Ha! That's funny because my mom had just baked one a couple weeks ago and I wouldn't even try it. My mom and gram were putting cinnamon and sugar on it. Maybe I'll have to try it fried..
That’s the ticket right there! Doing it out side! I love it❤️ I love that long wooden spoon you got there too! Where did you get it? Do y’all freeze your sweet potato greens?
Hi Ann! The only greens we harvest are turnip and poke. My Mother gave me the spoon and not sure where she got it...its made from walnut and 24" long and 3" wide...My great grandmother was a Hendrick from middle Tenn. Thanks
I don't think I've done any WG videos on this channel. We get some rain this fall and the temps cool down I'll make some videos on the Worm Gitter channel...we're in drought conditions and the lake is low...Thanks Roxy
My mother cook turnips two way one it boil them with little sugar and fat back the other way was fry them Is scramble a egg . She did that with all thd greens
I like em in a skillet with bacon bits and stir fryed onions and garlic with some tony cacheres...we add scrambled eggs sometimes too with some red hot Blessings
Never grown turnips but after your video I’m gonna try next year. When’s the best time to plant? My theory has been if it works for ya it must be right 👍 Thanks for the info Mr Duke God bless and Stay safe
they are a cool weather plant.... not sure about Missouri...they can handle a light frost ...we plant ours as soon as the temps start cooling off in Sept...they may do good in the spring in your area....if you wanting turnips make sure they are thinned out and watered good....Thanks Ketch
Hi NTB I haven't had collards in a long time...between the turnips and poke we like the poke best...I keep yall in prayer every now and then...Thanks for watching and commenting Blessings
You have a very pretty, intelligent daughter who loves her dad. I would love to find a pretty woman who was a Christian and knew how to garden and would like to do the things that make good memories together. I live in Texas and my mom's family is in Floyd county KY and every time I go to see my family I think of the way the world was at one time.
Hi there! I would like to know how you do the first cut so that the greens keep growing. I have some purple top greens growing but I don't want to harvest them incorrectly. Thank you!
Ive never had Turnip Greens, looks like Spinach. We have Purslane all over our yard. We also have a lot of Spurge. Youve got to pay attention not to eat that.
Well I'll tell you a little secret if you don't know it the best way to clean greens but it works and it works great little bit of a mess to clean up but it saves countless hours standing in front of a sink cleaning them put them in a washing machine
Your daughter is gorgeous!!!!!!
