My Dream Kitchen Garden Reveal!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2021
- Since before we moved to our farm in Connecticut I've dreamed of having a big kitchen garden where I could step outside and pick fresh herbs and veggies to use in my recipes. This year my dream came true and we built and planted out a big vegetable garden behind the house where an old and crumbling patio used to be. We still have some finishing touches to put on but I had to share the reveal with you! We will definitely do a followup video so you can see how things mature and what we are able to harvest! If you want to see more of this content outside of the kitchen then let me know in the comments!

THIS IS MY ULTIMATE DREAM (one day, hopefully)! Thanks for taking us through your garden John and I would love to get a glimpse of your house - you have so much taste (literally).
It’s not really polite to taste people.
Hi I'm India cilantro teacher had going on been trying for a while now to get mine to grow but I'm having a hard time what are some of the you are techniques for growing it .
WAS MACHST DU HIER HAHAH
Einfach Sami in den Kommentaren 😂
I want a year-round hydroponic garden inside the kitchen!!! 😁 If only you could have half the garden inside the kitchen and on the outside you can have some kind of automatic greenhouse cover when needed.
okay that garden is actually so beautiful and amazing
Thank you!!
We love our homegrown eggplant, herbs, lemons and peppers. Beautiful and bountiful.
Cucumbers, rosemary, carrots and garlic!! Your garden is just a dream!
Watching someone else living your dream is kinda depressing and inspiring and the same time
I feel the same way.
Gardening is actually a really fun thing to do. I hope one day I could have a big garden with so many fruits, vegetables, and other plants. Love your garden John!🪴🪴🪴
Thank you and happy gardening!
@@PreppyKitchen you’re welcome, and happy gardening to you too! 😊
@@PreppyKitchenlove it John
Love the raised garden beds. I grew up with my grandmother and she always planted a garden. She would hold out a handful of tiny seeds and tell me that food would come from this. I didn’t appreciate what she was telling me then. We went to a generation where food comes from the grocery store. Great values you are giving your children.
That garden is beautiful I love how it’s set up and has a very clean organized look
Wow! This is fabulous! In Mexico City, yard space is generally tiny, so my husband created a container garden on our roof. We've got a couple varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, strawberries, herbs, peas, and green beans. But if we had the yard space, we'd absolutely do raised beds.
I am more impressed with what you are growing on your rooftop garden! In the space you have! ❤️ that’s what most of us have. We are not all as fortunate to have such a beautiful place like they have, or the help to keep it up. I love the yummy recipes they share and have been following him for awhile. I am lucky like you, my husband made me a wonderful garden that works great in our backyard. It’s not a big backyard but it has a space for a garden. ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful week.
@@smileytow1925 aww, thank you!
I’m Hispanic living in El Paso. I plant every year. My favorites are jalapeños, tomatoes, cilantro, watermelon and rosemary
I really want to plant a watermelon patch
@@PreppyKitchen go for it! I Planted a few. I can see them growing already:)
Rosie’s Home, hi! I am from El Paso, too! Your garden sounds great, too.
@@wallihaley5194 yay! Hi!
El Paso, oooh you have me craving Tacoholics 😋
Tarragon; thyme; cilantro; mexican oregano; spearmint; sweet basil; Thai basil; chives; tomatoes; asparagus; yuzu fruit tree; Eureka and Meyer lemons; peach; fig; pomegranates; lime; orange; kumquat; small black radishes; lettuces plus arugula....what fun! Love your espaliered tree!
Wow, not only did you show off your garden, you brought in someone to teach us. That was was nice, and thoughtful. Your garden is immaculate by the way.
I love it when you update us about your life and home because it shows us behind all that happens in your kitchen😊❤️ And your garden is absolutely beautiful
I bet John’s kids are going to love exploring the garden and picking fresh vegetables right off the vine. It would be great to see them learning to identify the herbs and vegetables as little ones.
I am so proud of you and your family dear John . God bless you all.And I am so happy because you are half Greek .Helen from Athens Greece
Edible flowers!!! Violas, nasturtium, borage, calendula and so many more! Desserts, cocktails and salads look so fancy them! 😊❤
I love seeing people living their dream, it’s so uplifting! It’s beautiful, Nick’s work is outstanding! I’m planning similar in my garden in the UK so thanks for the pointers 🙂
Rosemary is my favorite herb to keep around and tomatoes are my favorite veg
They are both sooo delicious
@@PreppyKitchen by the way, I really like your videos, helped me a lot improving my baking!
I hate to tell you, tomato’s are FRUIT
@@christabell-zc9rn my life has been a big lie
No questions...just a comment, I'm totally envious, you have a beautiful garden. Great team work.
Wow, thanks Nick!
I see you growing berries next! Blackberry and Raspberry bushes!
Your garden is a worthy addition to the spectacular setting. Virgo nitpicking done right!
😂thanks!
Jesus, that garden is like a whole different level.
This is not a grown garden, this is a planted garden. Most of the plants were grown elsewhere and then placed into these wooden elevated boxes. A grown garden looks very different.
@@eily_b ok cool. I don’t really care if he grew the veggies himself elsewhere or bought them in and planted them later. It’s his garden to do whatever he wants. And it’s beautiful. But thanks for this input.
@@eli19151 It is beautiful, but as the veggies grow, it doesnt end up looking so clean and beautiful😄
Noone could be happier than someone who has his own kitchen garden. I used to have a garden where i was living but now i dont :(, I still remember the aroma of my strawberries and many other things. It's my dream to have one like yours! Yours is amazing!!!!! You could also plant some melons and watermelons!!
This is what I imagine heaven must be like. Your garden is absolutely gorgeous, satisfyingly symmetrical, and perfectly placed. You are so inspiring, John!
You're living the dream! That is such a beautiful garden I love how nicely everything is layed out.
He looks so happy, it's contagious! ✨
Liziqi smiles watching this. I hope one day I have my own kitchen garden. You inspire many people. 😍
Grow some bush beans! They're easy, don't need pruning, high yield, come in heirloom varieties, and are amazing in pasta salad.
Thank you for having Nick on to talk !! That was really cool to see .. Please keep showing us your amazing home !! Your husband and kids must love it there too !! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us John !!
This was a really fun project for us to do. John is incredibly nice and fun to be with. I had a great time filming this with him.
@@nickdematteis1541 Do you do work in Upstate NY?
I just want to live in a stone castle with a lawn I can fill with fruits and vegetables, herbs, and native plants. Just feels like such a dream come true
That is stunning !!!!!!!!!! This is great for your kids. It is fun for them and a great learning tool as well. Your garden should be in a magazine.
You’re living my dream. So happy someone got to do it and so happy it’s you and your family ✌️🌻❤️
i cant imagine how fun it must be to go grocery shopping for free in your backyard 🤗 it must feel so good i cant wait to have my own little kitchen garden 🪴💜🙏🏻
Very true but I would imagine it costs some money to keep the garden as beautiful as it is and keeping it healthy. But the convenience of just going outside to pick something you need fresh off the vine, a patch (cabbage or lettuce), or from the herb garden. Priceless!
Hurray!!! Congrats on the awesome garden!!! Could maybe plant some spinach too for your wonderful spanakopita recipe. Yumminess!!!
I love your garden. I'm a victory gardener, I live in Socal and I couldn't imagine not gardening. Lucky you! So beautiful! You're lucky because you get to grow more produce year round. Cooler weather is more forgiving and allows more produce to grow than in summer.
I grew herbs in old deep sinks. We also had some chickens who liked to sunbathe…….and eat some of my herbs. They ate all the chives and sage….. seriously, free range sage and onion flavoured chicken . (We didn’t eat them, they lived a long, happy life). But the thought of Free range herb flavoured chicken made me smile.
Yyeess, so beautifull, but we need a kitchen tour!!! 🥰🥰
My dad accidentally grew cantaloupe. The little patch just started growing and he ended up with four melons 😄
I planted some lettuce from seeds that I ordered a couple years ago & a few weeks later.. I got a letter from the seed company saying " _We regret to inform you that the Boston bibb seeds that you purchased are likely not the seeds that you ordered_ " LOL! I ran out to the garden to see what was growing so fast you wouldn't believe it, but at that point, couldn't really tell what they were. Turns out I grew Tatsoi which was great! 🤗 The seed company also sent about 10 new packs of Bibb seeds..
Having your own kitchen garden is a complete Bliss. Beautiful indeed.
ounce for ounce and pound for pound....herbs are hands down the most expensive thing to purchase in most grocery stores....think about it......so growing your own means you have a very valuable garden.....sage and dill are my favorites....cannot make my browned butter tortellini with butternut squash without sage......your home and kitchen garden are beautiful, John....looking forward to seeing what you do next!
SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! Keep it up! I look up to you so much!
Thanks so much Alejandra!
So beautiful! I'm so excited for all the joy, and memories you will create with your family. Please remember to be present, and enjoy the small moments as well.
Wow. This is so beautiful. Ohh man I wish I can one day have this in my life.
John, most cabbages are eaten by white moths but yours are beautiful. I've never called a cabbage beautiful but today I did. The garden is stunningly outstanding. The view is everything. I'd grow a pumpkin or two for the kids next year.
this is incredible! my mom has just gotten into gardening, starting with some herbs and peppers. I hope she can have something this beautiful one day. thank you for sharing not only your delicious recipes but some inside looks like this too!
Hi, John. Your garden is amazing! There's nothing like seeing your vision come to reality! Great job! Can't wait to see how it matures.
Your kitchen garden is both so beautiful and so perfect, all at the same time.
And you are an ASMR tingle-head, too .... Oh, I love it !!!!!!
Rhubarb, horseradish, asparagus. Perennial plants for your garden. Hardy and productive. Love to see your take on rhubarb pie,tarts, crisp.
I dream of having a garden someday. Your's is amazing!
Thanks so much Colleen!
What a beautiful garden! I wish I had such a beautiful vegetable garden and that I had the motivation to maintain one!
Thank you! You can always start with a few plants in your window sill and work from there :-)
Plant some butternuts, they aren't just delicious, but their flowers are scrumptious, stuff them, batter them and deep fry them, or add them to salads. The young tender leaves make the most delish dish too, I fry some onions and then add the chopped up leaves and tendrils, and then cook like spinach, add some cream, and grate in some cheese. You'll thank me!
I just found your channel a couple of months ago. Its fabulous. And this kitchen garden. I have no words. Well maybe. Oh my gosh. Incredible. Thank you.
One of my favorite herbs to grow is thyme! It requires almost no maintenance, and in the spring and early summer it blooms with a million little purple flowers, and it'll be buzzing with bees, they love it as well. And of course fresh thyme tastes so much better than the dried stuff :)
Mine is oregano.
Mint is unkillable but spreads too much. Basil is nice, and once you get rosemary going, you get an herb and a nice looking bush.
Other TH-camrs showing off their Teslas: 😒
John showing off his home grown veggies: 💖😃😍💕
Absolutely, beautiful garden. Martha Stewart might be envious. Love your show. Thank you.
Next to your deserts, your garden is the next best thing! Love it.
Wow John your kitchen garden is truly a heaven. Loved it so much. 👏👏
The espalier trees are absolutely gorgeous❣️
Peppers galore! Poblanos for just about daily use; cubanelles and Hungarian sweets for one of my favorite late summer/early fall dishes: Lesco; Fish chiles and Thai bird chiles and pequins for my favorite fiery dishes, and mini snacking bell peppers to munch on or pickle. Also most herbs, wax beans and blue lake beans (and scarlet runners for the hummingbirds), cukes, zucchini, lemon squash, three different kinds of eggplant, and four varieties of tomatoes. About the only thing I don't grow is corn because I grow everything on Earth Boxes on my rather spacious deck. But I long for a garden like yours. Maybe someday I'll get to have one!
Bell peppers from the garden taste like a whole different veggie. It's a must in my garden.
Oh my goodness! Your garden and home are goals! Love your whole vision! You totally inspire!
So strange seeing John outside his kitchen I just assume he has a nice bed under the sink and everything 😅
Top tip! When you get a good compost bin going, it gives off lots of heat. Cover the top with good straw & plant with zucchini, but be sure to check it every day, it’s like magic how fast they grow! Also, kids love zucchini pasta, so it’s great for your 5 a day!
I was talking to my mom about wanting to have a vegetable garden 🪴 in my home and then I see this video. Your garden looks beautiful and is definitely something I one day strive to have! Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us.
Such a pretty and organized garden! I fall in love with your garden and that would be my future dream as well :)
“i don’t know what people are doing, but they’re eating all of my chives” LOLOL
John you are a very enspiring person,you are very passionate for gardening as well as your baking,i loved it
I would love to have a garden full of Cilantro, Tarragon, and Basil. Heaven! You're living the dream. I mean...you really are. I even love the way you dress. You seem like a lovely man with a kind heart.♥♥♥ You have a great sense of humor. Very attractive quality in a man, or anyone for that matter. Lol!
Wonderful!!!! I'm dieing to see the artichokes when grown
This is so beautiful ❤️ I am so happy and excited for you
What a great garden ! I used to grow asparagus in my Michigan garden. It comes back every spring, and tastes fantastic.
John man, i have always respected what you do and trusted your recipes, which by the way i did several of them and turned out just wonderfully. But having seen your garden i can say that my respect for you have doubled. Your garden is inspirational to all those who love to have their own produce grown in their gardens. However, if i were you i would consider planting some flower beds where i would plant my favorites like Jasmine, roses, magnolias and other types of flowers. This will add color, beautiful scent and they could be used in your dishes too. But this is only me. However, this is such a beautiful and luscious garden where you can enjoy quality times with your family. Here's an A+ from me to you. Very well done man.
I love how the garden looks!!!!
Thank you!!
This is beautiful. My mom would be so happy with a kitchen garden, thank you John for this amazing inspiration.
😊👍✨It's Goals. But please document the how's, why's, what's, when's of gardening and how to work on a green thumb 🍃💚
You are so lucky. I love planting seeds and then seeing what it produces and then eating the harvest.
Your Home and Gardens are Simply Beautiful!! Everything looks Healthy and Abundent. Cilantro? I Love Cilantro in alot of dishes too. Makes foods just Pop in Flavor. Love your Cooking Shows. I have saved 184 Recipes on my Pintrest. Made your Pumpkin Bread with Chopped Roasted Pecans. Was Delicious!! Next is your Rum Cake with the Rum Sauce. I could Drink that sauce right from a mug. Embrace Life, it is So Precious!!
THIS IS AMAZING
THANK YOU JOHN AND HELLO
Thanks so much Jim!
@@PreppyKitchen THANKS FOR REPLYING BACK
And my name is Deborah. Jim is a character from Stranger Things lol.
That's amazing
John, I am from India, and i follow your recipient as i am taking baby steps in baking. You are just amazing , the way you embrace your imperfections and down to earth. This garden is dreamy , i would like to meet you when i come to California
your videos never cease to make me smile. You're so charming and so is your garden!! I'm so happy for you
Great garden! Are you planning to do any canning or drying out of your herbs, if so will you film it?
Omg I know jealousy is a sin but come ON. THIS IS SO PRETTY 😭
🌸 I love my herb garden, even when I lived on my own I had them in pots on the windowsill. Now I’ve got them in proper beds in the garden just outside my kitchen door. I have my vegetable garden at back, I used sleepers to raise it so it gets less pests. Plus I’ve got different varieties of marigolds planted around them with different types of mint plants in pots, it keeps less pests. I love the smell lol so I’m partial 😂🤣
Your garden is not only abundant, it’s stunning! How fun and joyful it must be!
I love it!!!!!!! How absolutely beautiful. Great idea for our next property. We currently have the raised beds that are waist height and it’s good because yes we have bunnies here and they love to eat everything. 😅🤦🏻♀️
Those bunnies…..
Nice
What a beautiful garden. The envy of most of us I would say! Just beautiful 🥰🌱🍆🥬🥒
My 93 year old mother in law says gardening keeps her young. My father would say it brought him joy and peace. My mr and I love to garden as well it’s so relaxing and a joy to eat what we have grown
Your garden is beautiful! I tried tomatoes but I didnt do well. I would love fresh squash, green peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes but my body cant do all that work anymore and I clearly dont have a green thumb. I am totally jealous. Just beautiful❤️
Thank you Pamela!
Pamela Marsh, this summer, after 4 summers of tomato failure, I tried the two 5 gallon bucket method. You can find directions on youtube. The tomatoes are on my deck which makes it easy to care for. I have so many beautiful tomatoes and peppers this year If you have room, this method might work for you. A tube is in top bucket to bottom bucket and that is your watering place. It is kind of hydroponic. Very little bending over to get the tomatoes. I can't have a garden like John's and this is a nice compromise.
@@kateslippers8289 thank you I will look it up and see if it is something I can do, would be nice to have fresh tomatoes 🍅
Last time I was first on a video… I was watching John make a buttercream rose cake.
*2nd
Thanks for watching!
@@PreppyKitchen You’re welcome! Love the recipes!
Is there a contest?
Wow, I don't know if I love your kitchen or your garden more. I love basil and tomatoes. Easy to grow and delicious for pizzas.
Ummm…I’m in love!!!!! Your garden is soooo aesthetically pleasing (obvi it’s functional too)! Not gonna lie I’m so envious of ALL that grass!
Ps-I too enjoy the sound of gravel crunching under my feet 🦶🏻 so satisfying!
I’ve always wanted to try fried green tomatoes.
How will you keep nasty bugs from eating your beautiful vegetables?
He will likely spray organic pesticides before bugs even attack.
i have a question: how do you get rid of pests and bugs that nibble at your plants?
IJust add water to a spray bottle and a tablespoon of dish soap. Mix and spray the plants. Works all the time for me!
@@rosieshome5368 would that not destroy the chlorophyll of the plants?
Lemon grass sprays could also help, but there are flowers that you can keep around your garden that bugs don't care for like Marigolds and Lavender.
Olive oil, I honestly don’t know. I’ve done it for years, my plants still grow healthy and my veggies are just fine.
Put garlic and chili peppers in some water, let boil for a while and then sift. Spraying it over my plants works really well every time.
Cypriots use crushed coriander seeds in whole (smashed) green olives with garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Delicious. I'm with you. Coriander in everything sounds perfect. Thanks for your delightful channel.
I have a home allotment/kitchen garden… i have for many years grown from raised beds.. i liked the organised manner of growing and also i had dreadful soil and simply couldn’t dig anymore. In the last two years i have gravelled between all the beds and it makes such a difference for weeds, cleanliness and the general look. Only grow what you like and eat is the best advice although each year I grow a new thing from growing gourds to loofahs. Unfortunately we battle against the weather in the UK so i also have a greenhouse for tomatoes, cucumbers, chillies and peppers. Your kitchen garden Is a visual delight and so good for your children to realise where food comes from and how hard it is to produce so food becomes a valuable resource and something that doesn’t magically arrive in the fridge.
Woahh third!
If you had your own TV show I'd watch it.
And I'd buy everything from your line if you ever want to sell something.
You're simply the best.
Must be nice to have outdoor space for a decent garden. I live in a small condo with no yard - it was all I could afford before I became too sick to work - so I can’t grow much of anything. I would love to grow tomatoes, carrots, green onions, all sorts of peppers, cucumbers, and have a lemon tree. With few windows and very limited space indoors, the best I can manage is a few tiny pots of herbs like mint and basil. I grew up in a house that had a great big garden in the backyard; we used to grow so many cucumbers that we’d make pickles each year, and we had fresh tomatoes nearly year-round because of the warm climate. I miss being able to do that.
WOW John!!!!!!! Love, Love, Love your house and garden. Well…..I really loved everything I’ve seen so far. Great videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us 🥰💕
