- After growing Basil from seed and failing, I started it with the plate germination method which gave me a great harvest even planting it later in the season than ideal. I share a recipe using fresh produce from the garden including basil.

I love all of your videos and feel that we are kindred spirits. My husband and I are also living in and restoring a beautiful old house and have dreams of going off-grid in the next few years. He is an artist, I was an artist and a plant biologist for many years and am in love with cottage gardening, which is how I recently discovered your videos. I just watched the "I made a mistake with youtube" video from a few years back and am glad that you didn't give it up. I appreciate quality very much! I hope it doesn't take too much time from your gardening. Cheers!
I love the colors in the kitchen. I can tell you are an artist because artists are not afraid of color.
Thanks. No reason to be afraid of color. Unless someone truly doesn't understand color harmony. In such case: RUN!
@@lisal8529 LOL There is still no reason to be afraid of color. Worse case scenario you have clashing colors. If you do enough clashing colors, it almost becomes a type of harmony in an of itself. :-) But I won't lie, there is nothing quite as soothing visually as subdued and harmonious tertiary hues
Never a dull moment with you, that was a great recipe and looked so delicious. I didn't know you were also a cook! Your homestead is awesome as well.
Have you tried to grow Madagascar Beans? This is a perennial that lasts for about 7 years. The young green beans can be used like string beans. The dried beans (this happens in the drying pod) are brilliant to soak overnight and use in soups and sauces
Hello Siloé, I love those revealing glimpses of your Gorgeous home you sprinkle through out your videos.
Your pasta salad looked as Delicious as it did Beautiful!! 😉
Thank you so much 🤗
My basil last year was a failure. But following your method, I pre-sprouted the seeds and today planted them in their cells. Fingers crossed . I see pesto in the future . Enjoying your videos.
Luv the MIRROR❤❤❤❤
It was quite a find for $5
You are such a Renaissance man. Who knew you also had mad knife skills? Thanks for another great video.
I appreciate it, although it is much easier to do with a sharp knife.
suburban homestead, your kitchen is awesome! Super envious =) As always great video
Thanks so much! I repainted the old cabinets that were here. I'm still editing out the stuff on the wall. I feel like I need less bright plates in the terracotta back splash area, so they recede in space.
You produce a good video style. I'll be back, oh and good info!
Your music selection is always so interesting.
Glad you liked it. I want to release the new one when the channel reaches 100k
not sure if anyone else addressed this but with the splitting tomatoes that can be avoided by keeping the plants watered more evenly. the splits come from the fruit swelling when they take in a lot of water all at once so if you put too much water on them while they were dryish the skin swells too much and splits. i personally have used orbeez in my soil with tomatoes to keep water retained, they are non toxic and are biodegradable. you can also use other methods but keeping them hydrated consistently is key. you dont want your soil drying out for too long, with the orbeez i can have water readily available to them without drowning the roots and rotting the soil.
Growing herbs is the best way to start people getting into gardening
They are gateway plants :-)
Looks delicious, I love pasta dishes
Wow the bean plants climbing to the top and out of the cages are so majestic!!!
Glad you liked it. That was the goal.
Beautiful as always! Thank you!
Great video, once again! Thanks for making such beautiful videos- they are educational and so pretty to watch!
Grasshoppers ate every bit of corn pollen I had last year. Most of my corn wasn't pollinated because they made off with all of it. I'm not sure if you know what causes a locust plague? It's when 2 Grasshoppers bump into each other, then turn into locusts. Just seeing you holding one half of a potential plague gives me the heebie jeebies! I plant to cut all the corn pollen and keep it inside this year. 💖
Another beautiful video. You are an artist.
💚💚💚🌱🌱💚💚 I can't wait till I can start harvesting from my garden.
Wish you great harvests
@@suburbanhomestead Thank you. You are such a sweet heart.
The look of satisfaction as you eat your meal sells the point of your purpose. Bravo.
Beautiful video, they are always so relaxing, thank you.
Glad you like them!
You are back! I love your beautiful kitchen
Yay! Thank you! I have been back for a while though...
lovely, your videos recall me Vermeer's paintings, me too an artist and gardener, love the way you do it so artistically.
Looks delicious! I'm partial to adding chilli to everything, though! You can cook for me any time!
You are an inspiration for me to grow.. and my mom loves your cooking skills 😃
Thank you so much
Very cool idea for salt cellar😁
Using some of the pasta water can create a bit of added sauce texture. Nice music....love the setting.
New subscriber! So enjoying your content! Greetings from Michigan! 😊
Thanks for subbing!
3:30 "... Picking up the top leaf bears you encourage the plant to put energy into producing more lateral leaves ..." Thanks!!
You bet!
Agreeing with the many other comments that you've done an incredible job designing your kitchen. It's always a visual treat whenever you film in your home. Also want to call attention to those excellent knife skills!
Appreciate it my friend. I'm glad you liked it. I finally got a decent knife set, and that helps a lot when you are not struggling against dull blades. Stay safe in Seattle!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
❤ thank you
Amazing video! Had me glued on till the end. I was soooo excited to see glimpses of the garden in its glory! I’ve always been curious to see the new garden ever since I realized that the building raised bed videos were filmed last year. 🤣 The beans are AMAZING. I paused quite a bit to creep on the other beds and see what else was growing 🙈 so excited for everything. Weather is picking up here, good 85s since a few days. I see growth spurts on so many of my plants. Can’t wait! Need to start okra soon, but waiting for it to get hotter. Peppers and zucchini is my main focus, started both from seed for the first time. Hope some day my brand new garden can be as prolific and sustaining as yours.
Hope you’re doing well in these trying times. Stay safe!
Glad you liked it. In this video I did show a sneak peek of it later in the year, but the next videos will go back and forth as we explore new plants. This year I'm working to get an even more lush garden (with flowers) I feel people have not been as excited to see these early videos because the space was still a little bit more bare. I hope that by seeing the beans using the structure as support, the whole decorative bed became more useful and practical and less "only decorative" in the minds of some.
suburban homestead super excited!! My wildflower patch is coming to life too. Ahhh what joy. Can’t wait for your flower videos!
Nossa amo essa sua casa. Linda em estilo vitoriano. Obrigado por seus vídeos.
Realmente foi um achado esta casa, principalmente com os detalhes originais intactos.
@@suburbanhomestead Nossa é delicia ver seu carinho com esta casa, cada detalhe, tudo de bom gosto, é como se estivéssemos em uma capsula do tempo. Parabéns.
I had no clue sweet basil was a tropical plant! With it commonly being called "Genovese"/with my strong association with basil and pasta, I assumed that it was a European plant originally. I've looked through the origins of many herbs and plants, but hadn't looked up basil yet. Wonderful to learn! Me and my housemates looove basil. I haven't tried growing it outside yet and have only ever kept them as a kitchen windowsill plant, but this is inspiring me to try propagating some basil cuttings from my indoor starts for the summer this year!
Seeing your garden in the summer abundance is awe inspiring!! I have only grown in containers for the past 5 years, but have now moved to a home where I can grow in soil. I look forward to the harvests this year!
I know right. But it is native of the tropical jungles of India.
I’m wondering how you were able to get the direct shot in the mirror without seeing the camera. Sorcery! Your house looks amazing, like it would nourish the soul.
Glad you liked it. It was just slightly off center.
Very nice. I guess it was zoomed in quite a bit so that would hide it more easily.
My gopher ate all the young tomato plants, sunflowers, hollyhocks, marigolds, bean seedlings but left the corn, Basil and mint alone.
Basil seems to be unaffected by most herbivores
Great video !! keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Yes, please. 🍝
About the beans.....
"I later found out that they needed to be cooked better"!
🤣🤣☠
Beautiful color choices for the kitchen! That blue is gorgeous. I noticed your countertop compost bin- have you tried vermicomposting? Any tips?
Thanks. I love the antique blue. It is kind of timeless. I have not done vermicomposting yet.
I really love love love your kitchen like a lot and wondering what colors were used and where you got your colors from for the kitchen and I’m so jealous that kitchen is wonderful beautiful and where do you get your vegetable seeds fromTruly love your videos and enjoy your music I’ve never seen a kitchen so beautiful this would be my dream kitchen and those containers that you have outside for your garden they’re fabulous thanks for the great videos
Happy to hear you enjoy it. I'm trying to create a bit of a parallel universe people can escape to unwind after a stressful week. I repainted some old dingy cabinets with blue cabinet paint. I don't remember the paint name, but I chose that one from scratch. The terracotta color was from a discounted mistint I got in the home improvement store. It is still a work in progress because I still want to edit out the plates hanging on the wall. There is too much white and cream in them. they need to be more low-key low contrast within the blue and terracotta Mexican pottery palette. It just takes time to find the right things. You can't rush it, and buying everything at once is not fun. It needs to be slowly found.
@@suburbanhomestead I see what you mean yeah rushing things would just make Mistakes I do have that terracotta color in my Room I got it from home depot but it's called a rustic red I've purchased some mishap paints from home depot before I feel you enjoyed the plates that you have on the wall I think it just makes it cozy and more homey but whatever makes you happy go with the flow And I got that about you trying to keep positive vibes on the videos you are doing the best 💚🌱💚😊🕊and I really enjoy the videos where you cook too especially when they use everything that you grow 🥕🥬🍅 When we're question do you take any bake Sweets that Require something from your garden and if so would you sometime make it Thanks for replying 💚💚💚
What’s your formal education background - I get the feeling you studied music... so talented! Will we get to meet your family?
Are they gardeners as well?
I could almost smell the fabulous basil!
I studied Fine Arts/Painting. Never had the patience to really study music, but I suppose I always had musical intuition. With a computer I can slow things down and compose things line by line without being hampered by dexterity. I suppose I should try to really study music theory, but for now I do it for fun and if I study it too much maybe I'll be intimidated by all the rules of how to properly compose.
👍
I love how those tomatoes are growing so well! But I think I just saw okra in one of your cages. Was that okra?
you will find out next episode
Please try vermiculture!! You won't regret it!!

Man. I’m on my 3rd/4th basil plants and I just cant figure it out. I live in a pretty hot and humid place. I have a small plant from the store in a medium container- big enough for growth but not too big. It’s out side on the patio where it gets plenty of indirect sun. I try to keep a close eye on the soil moisture, making sure not to over water it (or to get the leaves wet) but making sure it retains moisture. I feel lie it SHOULD be doing well, but leaves keep getting “bruised” and fall off. It’s kinda growing but not very much. Any tips??
It needs direct sun. Just water the soil regularly. Also make sure you have a good quality well draining soil. But some straw or grass clipping mulch to retain some of the moisture near the roots.
Yup those beans were not cooked properly hehe
I know this isn't a part of the video. But can you tell me what grow light you use for seedlings. I want to know because for my cotton seedlings and I watched your first few videos you ever made and you used it.
I use a 15 year old cheap shop light I had bought from Walmart for 5 dollars at the time. I think the bulbs were the daylight type, but not the professional full length spectrum. You can buy LED grow lights today that are even more energy efficient even if they cost a bit more.
Thank you.
Was this from last year.
Yes. Everything is always filmed at least a year in advance to stitch up the stories.
Love your show but the music is not so good
Thanks for the feedback
Can I share your plate of pasta?
Sure!
