Learned something new. I never thought about eating those flowers. I usually just leave them for the beneficial insects. Cool video.
I harvest the tops of brasicas like broccoli raab.
back to nature food channel
you look so amazingly young. it seems your lifestyle has helped you so much. thanks for sharing your wonderfulness. I love purple potatoes raw with Himalayan pink salt !
The "pepper mix" I like the best is a blend of black pepper (predominantly), some white pepper, native Australian pepper seeds and chile flakes
The bolting greens make really good pesto, which (depending on how you preserve it) can be saved for a long time for use when greens are scarce due to climate
Thanks showing us to cook
Very healthy. Please do more meal prep content.
Do you use the arugula tops this way? I ate some raw. Whew! 😂
HOLY GARLIC POWDER.. that is a lot of garlic!!!
I think I told you about my 4 year old broccoli. 🙂
People already eat young bolting tops, called Broccoli and Cauliflower. They just have to see that all those florets exist for other brassicas as well.
I graze the garden during early spring. I especially love chard and kale tops. The purple kales have these beautiful, delicious fluffy florets. Sprouting broccolis are also amazing.
Mustards do not seem to do that well in my garden. They take too long to grow their big leaves and then are attacked by everything. They make good trap plants for me. They are also a bit too spicy for me, so yep, good trap plants.
In May now and the brassicas are mostly over. They have a hard time in the high desert and mostly have seed pods or have dried out already. I should have plenty of seeds and volunteers in fall though.
🎶 This is how we do itttt!!🎶 lol YEAH Alright John enjoy and thanks for sharing! Love my insta pot, anything with quinoa or rice is is fine with me.

Super good Super fresh Super cheap Super fast Bravo John you knocked it out the park again …Thank you !
Do you have a recipe for Red Russian Kale? I planted a lot of it because I thought it was pretty, but I'm not loving the taste. I guess I could make kale chips. Anything tastes good with olive oil and seasonings.
Mmmm… another reason to use my pressure cooker. Thanks, John
Thanks for the inspiration
Great tips. Mine haven't bolted yet.
Is that one of Josh's sweet potatoes?!?!? Cool, I hope it is and they worked out for you.
I will try this awesome recipe
This recipe looks so good! I love that cutting board. Yum I can only imagine all those deep flavors from the green salt and soy sauce and balsamic. Need to check those oht
Thanks John.
Over here in bullhead city az. Close to you.
Cool i got onion tops like that flowering one..
Thanks
Perhaps i will pop some off tonight
A homestead channel I watch has been taken over by Army worms and so have many other farmers. Have you heard of this and do you have any thoughts about this invasion?
Thanks again
MY thing is there's cultures who have grown and cooked these foods for thousands of years and were way more healthier than the healthiest raw vegan nowadays. Is it the ground? Because we have more options nowadays to make super soils full of nutrient and minerals. Does cooking food really make it unhealthy?
Eating my bok choy bolting tops now ❤ they taste like asparagus and broccoli!
love the video. – do you live with your mom ? Can you show her to us once please ?– How do you pay your rent ? Just interested .
I was working in the garden and was glad to get in to watch this premiere ❤️thanks
Hi John, I live in North Las Vegas. To get rid of the pill bugs I use the small cat food cans. I place the rim at dirt level and put them around the garden. At first they were full of pill bugs when I would check them in the mornings. It cleared up the pill bug issue so fast and now after a few years I never see them.
