Bre my family is from down south and Collards are way of life. and they are so good and they can be served so many different ways and I know you’re probably gonna be out like “that isn’t healthy” but my mama always made them in a cast-iron skillet with some fat back, or some bacon and some bacon grease, salt and pepper. But I’m telling you that is what I grew up with and it is the best taste in the world. Greens are so good play around with them and find out what you like and what your husband likes play around with the taste and you will find what fits you and your family. And there are plenty of recipes online, but that’s the way our family likes them.
I love your enthusiasm. You mentioned cabbage. I too had a problem growing spring cabbage successfully. Now I grow varieties "tiara" and "Caraflex". they are 45-50 days to maturity which permits me to get a good harvest before it gets too hot and before the cabbage moth becomes a problem. You may be able to find varieties like that for your area. While the cabbages are small (1-2 pounds) they can be grown much closer together so you're getting a decent harvest per square foot.
I hope this helps
We always grew collards for our tortoise!
You can grow elderberry in pots?? I gotta look into that. 😮
My favorite thing to make with collards is skimming out (thinning) the spine and using them as wraps for chicken / tuna salad! Yum.
Hello from Virginia Beach, your garden is amazing. I also planted soft and hard neck garlic. (my first time) I am so excited to see how it does.
Nice👍👌
Garlic is looking fantastic as the onions Bre❤
You can keep the Brassica’s in it if you cover with light plant shade cloth so the white butterfly doesn’t get in…
Haha you say onions like I used to…with an added g 😂
You might want to put netting over your blue berry plant, birds. Like them. ❤❤😊
❤❤❤❤
Garden tours are my favorite thing to watch! Your garden looks great!
Southern Collards: Fry Bacon in a pot and remove, leaving the grease in the pot. Add your cleaned and chopped collards. Sauté collards for 3-5 minutes. Add two cups of broth of your choice. Add 1tsp. Of salt, a half Tsp. Of pepper, a half of tsp. of sugar and tsp. of lemon juice. Return bacon to the pot. Cover and let simmer, until desired tenderness. Check occasionally to see if more broth is needed.
Less salt can be used if you’re worried about the salt from the bacon.
Thank you for the tour. Looks amazing!
I'm excited to see what everything looks like in a month or two!
Where do you get your garlic from?
While onions can live through the traditional thick sow and separate them to plant in the garden, I found they do get quite a bit of transplant shock. That's why I am looking for the best way to have single seedling soil plugs.
Bre, I also live in Kansas (zone 6b) and Bok Choy does really well for me. If you like mustardy flavor in lettuce, try Mizuna. Concerning sweet potatoes, I plant my sweet potato slips closer to mid May and I still got a bumper crop last year.
Amazing! Looks like an early garlic harvest again this year! Looks like the onions are going to be monster-sized again this year 😲 Can't wait to see how they turn out! Quebec has just seen its last centimetre of snow melt, so the onions should be in the ground within 2 weeks.😁
The recommendations for those elderberry varieties say to make sure they're within 50 foot of each other and in direct eye line so the pollinators have an easier time of finding them. It's hard to see from the video but you may want to move the Lace a little closer to the other while they're flowering. They both look lovely! I have those and the third one that goes with the set, I forget the name. I'm hoping for my first elderberries this year too.
Your onions are huge already! Im still trying to get mine planted out. I was already behind and now I am down with influenza and its killing me to lay here and not be able to go plant on these beautiful spring days.
Thank you for sharing your garden so I have something to watch while I recover! ❤
When did you start your onion seeds? They look great!
Did you direct sow your poppies? Im so impressed❤
Love the tour! Shouldn’t you have snap dragons outside? They are cold hardy.
What do you do to keep deer away?
Great tour. Loved your garlic tips. Random question but I love your dress. Where is it from?
