Youve got the best videos out there in my opinion, love yalls attitude and gratitude to God. Love the way you capture the progression of the plants until harvest! Great Job You Two! and bing bing
The updates through the months are wonderful! Love seeing everything grow & harvested! Great job as always!!
I love how much he loves Nancy and works to make her happy and respect her and her mother’s culture. A fine husband indeed.
I love trying eggplant recipes in the last few years and would love to see what Nancy can make with these.
Me too!
"Black Kow", here in Ohio, everyone swears by it. It's all we use, too. It's a 'winner, winner, chicken dinner!" Thanks for the video.
You guys don’t ever get any herbicide contamination in the hay like aminopyralids???
@@jettyeddie_m9130 Hi Jetty, Sorry, just saw your comment. As for me, I've had nothing but great success using Black Kow. Thank you for the inquiry.
Where can I find black Kow in Ohio I live in Amanda
Can you find black Kow in Lancaster Ohio I
I used your advise and had a very successful eggplant last year. I cant wait to plant multiple plants for 2022. Thanks 👏🍆
Very detailed and informative Hollis! You just make planting and growing anything look easy.
Thanks y’all !! ❤️❤️🐶
Here in Brazil, we consume a lot of eggplant; It is used to make stews, juices, and even eggplant lasagna. In addition to being tasty, it has many health benefits.
GORGEOUS eggplant, would love to know how Nancy and her mom prepare it, would you both be willing to do a video?
This is one of my favorite channels. I love being able to see the process of sowing to harvest. Thank you for sharing.
The first year I tried to grow eggplant I killed the little seedlings I germinated. The second year I had beautiful plants that were blooming but we moved before any fruit ripened. I’m hoping that the third year is a charm and I finally get a few eggplant to eat.
Omgosh I know you said Nancy's not doing a cookbook..and thanks for responding to that question..i am looking forward to her cooking the 🍆..i honestly would keep her cooking and fermenting videos in a list to constantly refer back to..thx again
More Nancys cooking coming this year
I really like videos that show planting to harvesr. Thank you!
love those eggplant. first year they did wonderful but the second and last year they didn't produce. Not giving up this year and will be starting inside within the next few weeks. Thank you to you and Nancy for all that you teach us. God's blessing to you and yours
I'm so Jealous of you two Can gardening all year long😜, Love from Great WHITE(Snow)Michigan
Would love to hear Nancy tell us all the ways she fixes this. I love eggplant and have three seed varieties ordered. Can't wait!
Love your wonderful teaching/showing videos. So very each to follow along with. We are duplicating your homestead as much as possible. Do y'all have or would you consider having a playlist that contains your woodworking projects. Thank you and God Bless both of you.
I love roasted eggplant. I'll use either kind. Don't have the salt the thinner ones to get excess moisture out like the thicker ones. It also tastes great in sinigang (Filipino sour soup and my most favorite food; Lee doesn't like it, but our son Daniel loves it).
Eggplant. Have Nancy look for a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan Balls. My husband never knew he was eating eggplant. He loves them. Shhhhh!!
I love how you do the progression growing videos. I was wondering why you don't put fish in the buckets but you do in the inground plantings. Im trying to learn all I can from you guys since you have great success. Love you both.
I was wondering the same. How do you determine when snd where to use the fish.
I've noticed that he doubled the amount of bone and blood meal when he's using pots,,and not the fish in his ground planting
I don’t use fish in containers because the container soil will not break down the fish fast enough. Becomes a rotten mess
@@HollisNancysHomestead Ahh. Gotcha.
👍
Happy New Year! Can you tell me what growing zone you’re in? I’m in 8b in SE Louisiana and I think we are in possibly the same climate zone. I’m a big fan of Johnny’s and Black Kow - of course. I’ve been watching for years! Hugs & thanks to all!
PS: Patio Baby (Park Seed, maybe Johnny’s) eggplant is a great edible & ornamental patio plant. May not need staking! Beautiful shape if you set it for open form, like a tiny fig tree shape.
They’re in Florida somewhere 🤷🏻♀️
Hollis, you are always so tender to and respectful of your seedlings & transplants. New life = ❤️
Like you, I’m trying to cook eggplants such that I enjoy them. Maybe pickling small ones, in a sweet pickle????? Remember when Ichibana was the only long one in the catalogs? I’m old !!! I wonder if eggplants are any use juiced when young?
Beautiful eggplant in container growing in your garden , i try these next season and thanks for sharing garden tips to us such informative .
Great Video! I ordered a couple of Asian eggplant varieties this year because the yield seems to be greater and timing is shorter, that's important up hear in the North. Longer fruiting varieties fruit just as we get our first frost. Great video!
God bless. You made my morning. We grow these eggplants. I couldn't stand these for years. Meet my wife 20 years ago in Singapore and she started cooking them. I've gradually grown to like them, and they are good for you. Three plants supply us with enough... You give me an idea. I'm going to start a few in some 5-gallon buckets and give to some friends with limited space and income and help them get started with their gardening.
My wife wants to see what Nancy does with them in the kitchen
Thanks for watching :-) will have it done
You ARE the BEST husband and Son-In-Law, WHOAH to you! Be blessed!!!!
Black gold is right down the road from my home in Sumter county love it but boy does it stank lol
I gotta grow me some of them Asian eggplants 😎
Thank y’all for the video
Your channel lives on with us & our children to take notice. We adore your faith in God and your
Grateful Spirit. Thank you for sharing your expert garden know
Edge. I,'m 74 and single mother 40 years now. I was hit by a car last May and had an undiagnosed
Heart injury. I am still recovering but trying to get my garden in, in this crucial year of promised
Bydenflation and Probable famine sure to come. People don't realize the food shortages coming.
That's why I push myself to work my gardens. Just two City Lots and a food forest.. If we want to live in a paradise we have to make it with God's help ourselves. Thanks for sharing ! tms poet Ohio 5/29/22
I am Asian, not Korean but I hate purple eggplant (hope that doesn't classify me as "that weird Asian person" type. I just hate the texture of it. It feels and tastes like a sponge to me :). I do love the Thai green stripey eggplants though. However, my husband "blessed him" loves eggplant parmesan (tastes a bit like a fried cheesy sponge) but what do I know?" LMAO! I love you guys. Thank you for your content. God bless!
Great gardening , love your eggplant stand idea ..I’m growing little finger eggplant, in Canada let’s see…
My eggplant always loses its fruit after flowering. Not in direct sun this time of year. Maybe it needs some phosphorus?
That is exactly what is wrong. Add much more bone meal in the soil when you plant than you have been.
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you 😊 Always appreciate your videos and advice!
I have a question; i planted egg plant last spring and in a week the plant was almost dead due to some type of little bugs. Do you spray your leaves?
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I wish nancy would make some teaching videos to korean and other dishes including canning.
That's a great idea using the bamboo & small tomato cages. I'm going to try that. Thank you 👍
I haven't been able to grow eggplant in my 9b area in Fl, I don't know why , I keep trying .
I grow eggplant 🍆 in 9b FL in 20 gallon plastic containers using black kow, perlite, and coconut 🥥 coir mix amended with azomite, blood meal, bone meal and kelp meal. I feed them just like my tomatoes on a 2 week schedule and give them lots of sun.
Bless you and Nancy for sharing your gardening experience with us. My wife and I share in your experiences growing vegetables as well.
God bless y’all too❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much for watching our videos. We hope they help you. Have a peaceful week
Can you do a comparison of a plant that is grown in a bucket: 1) Your standard potting mix only. 2) Your mix with Bone meal only 3) Your mix with with Blood meal only 4) Your normal. (Mix, Bone & Blood meal)? Thanks! Love your videos.
sounds like a big request but theres only one way to find out, do it yourself
Thanks for all your advise...I have a steno pad almost full your info
😂. Plenty more coming. 👍
Oh man, can you imagine a binder full of Hollis' gardening and carpentry instructions!? You'd be set!
That'd probably be a cool member perk, every month getting new pages to print out and add to your collection.
Hollis…I’m a novice, so regarding the 5 gal. buckets, do you drill holes in bottom for drainage.

Nancy is trolling us with the thumbnail. I love it.
Thank you so much for sharing this it was so helpful .
Hi hollis and nancy! Im in upstate NY.
I tried your method this year(although i forgot the bone meal) and these are the best crop of eggplant I've ever had in 50 years of gardening! Black beauty seed, ate the first one today, about 4 months from starting the seed. Delicious!The plants are loaded with fruit and blossoms. I'll have so many to share. I'm gonna do lots more container gardening using your knowledge. Thank you!
PERFECT timing for me on this vid....my 1st year doing eggplant..... 🍆 🍆 🍆.....with your guys wonderful vid I'm hoping I do as well as u guys ...u guys r so good at growing.....I LOVE UR VIDS....Can't wait till the next
Can we get a tutorial of how Nancy cooks them?
Wow, both the plants and the fruits look gorgeous.
It’s about time for us to start seeds here in Central Florida on the space coast.
I don't even have a garden, but it's relaxing to watch.
Have a blessed day... Beautiful.
Video... Just started container gardening on my back patio and can't wait to try the eggplants...
all I can say is wow, just planted 🥕 as you taught us. lol. I planted egg plant in March and have had 3 small ones so far
WOW!! So exciting, I'm hooked on your awesome videos. Sweet that 'we' can do this together. Thanks Black Cow. Gonna use Johnny's seeds as well. Appreciative subscriber from Florida.
im gonna give this a go 👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Would you also add some remarks about the potential pests and care, pruning, etc.? Much appreciated. God bless you and your family.
I'd love to know what you do with all the old compost from the buckets once the plants have done their thing.....Personally I compost mine to rejuvinate it for next years...
I’ve never cared for eggplant to eat but maybe growing it yourself tastes better. 🤷🏻♀️I’m willing to try. I’ll have to find some recipes and maybe make some veggie chips out of it. Who knows. Maybe I’ll like it better if I pick them before they get bitter or pithy like I’ve gotten from the store in the past.
question ? how often did you water the egg plant in the five gallon bucket ?? growing some this summer, what were your tempertures in that amount of time, where you are at..?? Do you have dry air or humidity ?? please respond thank you..I am ready to do this..just need a little help.
Great demonstration. Straight forward and way easy to follow.
TYFS Hollis Mark n Rosa
And I love giving starting seeding dates, set out dates, harvest dates. I’m trying to put a plant calendar together for the first time.
@@mousiebrown1747 Do you mean the actual dates he is giving? Are you in the same grow zone as he is?
@@marktoldgardengnome4110 I think I am - or very close to the same. I asked Hollis on a different video to tell me his grow zone, but haven’t heard back yet. I’m in SE Louisiana, just due west of the Florida panhandle.
We are in zone 9A
@@mousiebrown1747 Yup, about the same. You should be fine. We use a physical calendar and record what we actually plant, when they sprout, fertilize, water, harvest, weather
anomalies. Not as good as the journal we've been meaning to start for years, but still a great quick reference. You're off to a great start. 😊
Hello, I was not able to find the video about mixing soil, it is important to have right amount of manor . it would be nice to put the link related to the subjects that you mention in your video. success in gardening and have a good harvest is not all about seeding and watering. the trouble shooting and dieses are the most important factors to have nice harvest and in my opinion what truly need to be cover.
I will try your process to see if I can some veges cause lord know all i can gross is grass to cut
Hello sir. Love watching your videos and they are great so I finally subscribed to your channel. Your voice reminds me of my fav old school singer Kenny Rogers. 👍. Congrats on this first harvest, the eggplants looks awesome. I will try your technique on this plant.
I did eggplant in the five: gallon bucket but I did use hydroponics made myself a greenhouse and us experimenting I was amazed the fruit tasted so good but I’d like to try your method I would like to make more of them
Hollis can I use some store bought sardines as fish fertilizer in my plants will sardines break down and do the job
How well would yellow crookneck squash grow in buckets
I've grown them in buckets before, zucchini too. I only had one real problem. and that was getting them pollinated. Since I was growing them on my porch with mainly non-flowering houseplants, they needed to be hand pollinated. Once I figured that out, I had plenty of yummy squash to fry up as well as enough to make the best tasting pickles with.
best presentation ever thanks for sharing I will be transplanting mine soon though the growth is very slow 👍❤️🇿🇦
love you all!!! keep the videos coming --:)
That fence in the background looks like it will keep out some fairly large critters.
Hi you 2, I am trying to find a recipe for cooking radishes and the pickle recipe you use for pickling thank you.
Can you just plant the seed in the 5 gallon bucket! Instead of planting in a small pod to replant?
is it ok to add the blood and bone meal after planting? We are new to this, I have successful plants, but would like to boost their output, just getting the first blossoms now.
I know you live in Florida, I do as well. I live in the Panhandle and I have trouble with insects. What do you do for that?
How come my eggplant produce fruits and die why???
Can you grow these orient express eggplants in 3.25 gal pots?
beautiful Egg plant
Well done 👍🙏
Do you drill holes in the bottom of your 5 gal buckets?
Does Nancy have a cooking channel I'd like to know what her recipes are and how she cooks them
Hi, I was wondering if you add any fertilizer over the growing season or do they make it from the blood and bone meal used at first potting? Thank you and have a blessed day!
The initial fertilizer usually lasts the entire season. If I see them stall and look like leaves yellowing I will hit them with liquid fertilizer as needed
Hi, Sir can I use the pool chemicals empty buckets .
do you use the same mix dirt on your container every year?thanks
You guys use all fancy things even though the soil 😂😂 compost
What fertilizer to use while it’s 4 young leaves
In Hawaii Asian eggplants can live for years.
My husband loves it fried too it’s delicious
Thank you for this definitely have a lot of wind
Did you have compost in the bucket?
Another great video. Nice looking plants and yield. I have been using Black Kow for many years and it does make a difference in the health and growth of your plant. Best of luck this year.
Just love it 😍
As always, thank you so much for this tutorials. I recently bought seeds, and I feel confident in growing my own now. Be Blessed
How come you grow them in containers rather than the soil?
GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU HOLLIS
no black kow at lowes nor Home depot in Fontana ca
Do you plant black eggplants?
Nice Thank you for sharing
Hello.. can you give me some information about those frames the buckets are sitting in…. Would be very handy here! Thanks in advance!

Love your videos such a beautiful garden. Watching from Merritt BC
Eggant Parmigiano my favorite, I never have luck with eggplant so I am going to try your method this year, thanks for the video.🍆🍆
Loved following the plants' development. I wish you'd given closeups of the harvesting - specifically how close to the main stem you cut to remove the fruit.
Won a blue ribbon at our fair with those years back. Nice vid. I also prefer the larger ones. Batter and fry. Mmmm.
