    How many chickens do you have? I get 24 to 40 per week (mix of duck and chicken). We consume 12 to 18 per day if someone cooks breakfast lol.

      We have about 40 ish. I honestly don’t know but it’s around there. During the productive time of year we get a lot of eggs. They are almost in their molt now so production has slowed.

      Yeah might just try them first. That was what we wanted to do this year and ended up with surprise extras as shown in the video. I really am not a fan, but some people love them. Maybe they would grow on me. Zucchini sure did!

      When grown in good soil and the correct conditions, A LOT! We had 36 plants in this video that yielded many more Big Jims than what was videoed in this video. I’d guess 10-15, maybe more depending on how long your season is per plant.

    If the corn doesn't make it to harvest before a killing frost, turn it into mulch and compost it over winter for next yrs garden. If you have animals you can also turn it into feed for them.

  • @Maria-ql3fc
    @Maria-ql3fc 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You can peel and cut the turnip in chunks, drizzle with butter or olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven. You can up the flavor with garlic and onion powder. I like to eat them raw with just a little salt, but I'm probably one of few people who prefer them raw. In the UK they mash them like potatoes, add butter, a little milk and salt. When you hear them say "bangers and mash" the mash is turnips. I lived in the UK for a bit and they have the best tasting foods because they don't allow the garbage added that the U.S. allows. You can buy seeds to grow seedless watermelon but you have to grow a seeded variety for pollination , the seeds for the seedless are more expensive and harder to get to germinate.

    This was a great garden tour! Even with the challenges, you really got a lot of good from from your garden. And the new storage building and root cellar will be a huge benefit for your family. Btw, Kabocha squash is REALLY GOOD! I used one for 'pumpkin' pies one year and they were delicious! I hear turnips could be used as a potato substitute - roasted, cut for fries, etc. I think roasting and seasoning them like potatoes is the way to go. 👍🏾👍🏾
