guys, i love this cooking and hanging out segment. it's like... wholesome but fun, and educational, and.... inspires cooking stuff in the garden itself which is cool.
The USDA says that you don’t need to discard green potatoes, but you should prepare them properly: “Peel the skins, shoots, and any green color; that is where the solanines concentrate.” Be a little aggressive if the flesh is still green beneath the peel and remove all traces of it.
I prefer to just save them for seed potatoes. I live in California so I can grow potatoes year round. Anything that's green just goes right back in the soil. And if you live in a place where the winters are too cold or the summer's too hot, you could just store them in a root cellar or in a paper bag in your garage. Until it's planting season.
It's my birthday on the 31st. The grand old 64. couple of wagyu's on the grill, a pile of artichokes Jacque's way...and a hearty thank you for what you give to all of us! Skoal!
You two are quickly becoming my favorite bromance… you’re both so entertaining to watch and just seem like genuinely kind people… plus I love gardening and am always learning from you two. I think I learned everything I know about gardening from San Diego Seed Company and Epic Gardening!
To expedite the caramelization process of onions, start by adding a splash of water to a pan heated over medium heat. Allow the onions to soften gently while covered. Next, remove the lid and continue cooking until they reach a rich caramel color. #QuickCaramelOnions
Y'all, be careful about cross-contamination. Jacques used the same to cut and eat an artichoke that Kevin used to open a package of raw meat. This experience looks like so much fun. Very fun video :)
Dear Kevin & Epic Homesteading, hope all is well! This looks amazing, thanks for sharing! You're now dabbling in an area of gardening that a lot of people never get to experience - harvesting and preparing produce that you can't (or rarely) get at the store. What's in the produce isle consist mostly of what is the most profitable, in its most profitable state. I enjoy gardening for many reasons, but what really got me into it is because there was simply no other way to get my hands on this stuff unless I grow it myself. Certainly not of the same quality. It started with hot and superhot chillies as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs. It just happens that currently I am picking rocks out of about 200 m^2 (about 2100 sq ft) to plant this year.. :D Deffo looking forward to more garden-to-grill :) Best wishes Edit: typo
Yes! The Hermit Hat is back! We recognize Jacques again! I always love a Jacques raiding Kev’s garden cold open! The grilling spot is fire; I’m totally trying a choke-burger, but what kind of cheese did you use? Anyone else noticed they left the UPC tags on both of the steam lids? 😊 The blooper reel was awesome! Keep those up!
I love you guys as well and just ordered my four 8-1 tall Birdie Beds! I already have five and live on a steep hill. I was trying to figure out where to put them if I ordered them. Finally after planting out some veggies in crappy old wooden raised beds, I said, " Aha!!!! That's where I can put them!!!" I talked to my husband and he was like, " I'm just the labor you decide if you want them." Yes!!! I'm so excited!!! You guys have helped me up my gardening game and seed starting as well. I share seedlings and veggies with my neighbors and family! Thank you!!!
I feel like I did the same as you with this fantastic sale! I just couldn't resist!! AND - I live on a hill too. So there's that. Also- I wasn't PLANNING on having so many Birdies Beds!! Happily, NOW I DOOO!!! Truth be told, I could always use more beds to plant up that hill... I haven't installed them yet bcuz I spend my evenings daydreaming about how I can change up the configuration of the beds. I've been coming up with some pretty outside the box designs! And then I wonder if they'll still actually work! Like- Since I'm on a hill... What if I split them in half, longways, and if I add extra bracing, will half a Birdies Bed still hold in the soil - on a hill? (my imagination imagination says YES!) REAL LIFE? I dunno... But if it works- That way I would have TWICE AS MANY BEDS!!! And I wouldn't have to dig out part of the hill either. Which would be a HUGE bonus! Dreamin... Just dreaming with my new Birdies Beds... !!! CRAZY GOOD SALE!!! ❤ THANKS GUYS!!!!! ❤
I'm a new follower for all 3 channels. I just wanted to ask if you have ever considered becoming a beekeeper or allowing a beekeeper to put a hive on your property? It's so much cooler to do the work yourself. The honey bees n garden work together in conjunction to adhere to the best garden season/harvest. As well then you'd have your own liquid gold to utilize for healing. The title of this reminded me of hive to bottle, so I felt inclined to see if that's anything either of you have considered. Thank you for all you do I'm learning a lot 🎉
I love this as it gives me ideas for how to use what I’m growing. Also loved how Jacque held up the eating number of fingers when talking about the sale. 😂 Too fun!
As a long-time hunter and life-long gardener there's nothing more satisfying than cooking a meal for your family that you both hunted and grew. You can really make one-of-a-kind dishes with unique produce and otherwise unobtainable game-meat. If you click like on this comment I will bless you with 50% more chance of filling your tags ;). Keep up the amazing content!
You two are the real “dynamic duo!” Love your videos. Always make me smile. Stay amazing! I know this may sound silly but I’m going to suggest it anyway…can you guys do some sales around the 3rd of the month just every blue moon maybe? I have my pension but also SS. I refuse to spend anything till that SS check hits though because let’s be honest, who knows what can happen in this world today! So basically I pay my bills then spend on “extras” or “fun stuff.” So I’m never dipping into my pension for the most part. Shoot I’m old and on a tight budget! It’s tough out here. Lol Just a suggestion. I have two Birdies I got from you guys btw and I LOVE them! TY for all you do. Love, hugs and blessings to all ~Lisa
Love the cooking videos and recipes! Kevin you'll appreciate knowing where your meat comes from with hunting. for almost a decade 70-80% of our meat is game I harvested, processed and handled every step of the way. Enjoy the journey!
LOL "he won't notice"....... "!!!!? Jaques!!! what are you doing!" from miles away. sharp eyes. HAHAAA! looooooove that ya'll are leaning into the humor aspect. from the soul. laughter is so needed and i love getting it with my gardening. i'll follow that shit till i *die.* (aka big thank you)
Those videos are such a treat! Educational and fun😊 Also, the fact you have an outside sink to prep food is awesome! Didnt know I wanted one but could probably use it like 3 months a year most due living in a much colder place.
Just found your channel today. You two make a good comedy show, love the humor. Would be awesome to see you doing a little campfire cooking in your backyard. And thanks to the neighbors for providing a tropical back ground with their strelitzias and palm trees 😅
I wish my job was as much fun as you guys have! I’m growing artichokes this year and I’m hoping to prepare them just like that. They look delicious 😋. Looking forward to see what’s in store for that special onion.
Whole Foods sells your 19:16 eeds in Greenville SC. Farther South in New Orleans, cooks work fast at high heat. If you don’t see flames, it’s not authentic. The best seats in great New Orleans restaurants are where you can watch the cooks.
Great video! I have already ordered my seeds from Botanical Interests and I believe they're in transit! Very good quality and variety! Greetings from Michigan! 😊
I stocked up on your seed sale just the other day. I won't be planting them until next year, but I'm still excited about the new varieties I bought. Thanks so much for the savings.
Great show guys! Love it when you crack each other up. Guys couldn’t afford the special sale but sure appreciate the texted discount! Can’t wait for the arrival. Collecting potting soil as we speak!🎉
I walked outside yesterday and got myself some onions,lettuce,and a few potatoes. Made myself some garlic onion potatoes,and a some sautéed onions for my bacon cheeseburger.
Gotta season those tomatoes, glad there was some flaky salt on there. Bringing out those glutamates! Going to have to try some artichokes on my burgers this weekend!
The secret to lovely caramelized onions is to put them on a low heat before anything else goes on, then the next longest cooking thing, then the next etc etc and the egg last as it takes the least time.
Does anybody know where to find the video of Kevin hunting he mentioned at 6:06 ? I'm an avid hunter and actually really interested in seeing Kevin try it out.
you can caramelize onions significantly faster by adding a small amount of baking soda. It speeds up the process a LOT. mix a tiny bit of baking soda with a tiny bit of water, and pour it over after your onions have turned translucent.
Honestly the fact that our editor made me Level 999 and Jacques Level 1/2 is even too disrespectful for me 😂
He's in easy mode you are in intermediate or hard so it balances out.
I laughed so hard at this
I’ve been trying to figure out your part of town. Seeing you front yard I’m now guessing CV
@@Jeff-ut8sb that's creepy. Keep it to yourself if so.
Your editor blew it out of the park with the pokemon sale graphics tho :D
Jacques stealing from Kevin's garden ... always a welcome sight.
He earned that food.😂😂
I love that your "skits" and jokes are all so natural to you guys 😂 it's all goofy and light and it genuinely lifts my mood
Yes, same here! 💚😂☀️🌱
More dad jokes required 😅

Jaques is hilarious he has such a genuine energy.
Love the Pokémon themed editing in this video. That Epic Gardening sale is definitely not a Farfetch'd idea. It is super effective savings.
You both make gardening so much fun, just how it should be 😅

Man this was so funny! Can we get a short of Jacque putting his veggie on the grill, ‘ Hello mutha…. 😂😂😂😂’
i can't get over how good it is when yall are in the garden together and those crazy title cards literally make my week when a new one drops haha
I just love you guys, you’re the dynamic duo! It’s so fun to watch two friends laughing and having fun together! Keep it up guys!
The boy’s are back! I busted out laughing at the egg cracking “skills”😂😂

Yup, noticed it as well!
Brand spankin’ new, they be! 🤣🤣🤣
Your editor deserves a raise. The Pokemon GameBoy effects had me cracking up😂
You 2 are awesome! It’s become one of my favorite things to do… “oops I need more herbs” just gotta walk to out to my garden!

I just couldn't resist!!
AND - I live on a hill too.
So there's that.
Also-
I wasn't PLANNING on having so many Birdies Beds!!
Happily, NOW I DOOO!!!
Truth be told, I could always use more beds to plant up that hill...
I haven't installed them yet bcuz I spend my evenings daydreaming about how I can change up the configuration of the beds.

will half a Birdies Bed still hold in the soil - on a hill?
(my imagination imagination says YES!)
REAL LIFE? I dunno...
But if it works-
That way I would have
TWICE AS MANY BEDS!!!
And I wouldn't have to dig out part of the hill either.
Which would be a HUGE bonus!
Dreamin...
Just dreaming with my new Birdies Beds... !!!
CRAZY GOOD SALE!!!
❤ THANKS GUYS!!!!! ❤

I have never eaten an artichoke that hasn't been in a can. I'm going to have to try one after this.
I love this as it gives me ideas for how to use what I’m growing. Also loved how Jacque held up the eating number of fingers when talking about the sale. 😂 Too fun!
I would love to have Kevin and Jacques as my neighbors. Looking forward to seeing more of these videos. Much love to everyone from Trinidad🥗🍷
I would love to watch a video of your bloopers, or if they were included at the end of the video, that would be so awesome.
Really enjoyed this garden to plate clip. Its a cold winter morning here in Australia so good to see a good fresh meal cooked on the job.
Kevin and Jacques are literally the best duo ever! Absolutely love these videos!💚
Maybe Jaques needs a bonus this year so be can get a bigger knife.

I laugh (and learn) so much every time you two get together.
Love the cooking videos and recipes! Kevin you'll appreciate knowing where your meat comes from with hunting. for almost a decade 70-80% of our meat is game I harvested, processed and handled every step of the way. Enjoy the journey!
Been a veggie for two decades, but I'm all for sustainable hunting, fishing, and of course foraging! That's awesome, bet you've made some mean jerky!!
I love the little edits like the crack in the intro and the stoned eyes when smelling the bread.
Wasn’t expecting Hoenn music and effects, but sure! The hometown music is my favorite.
It was the red eyes for me. LMAO. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. The editing makes me happy!
Same, Jacques! I’ve never met a tomato I didn’t like! Those bad boys go on EVERYTHING! 🍅
LOL "he won't notice"....... "!!!!? Jaques!!! what are you doing!" from miles away. sharp eyes. HAHAAA! looooooove that ya'll are leaning into the humor aspect. from the soul. laughter is so needed and i love getting it with my gardening. i'll follow that shit till i *die.* (aka big thank you)
I cannot wait to see the hunting! I want to get back into fishing and learn about hunting but it’s extremely outside of my wheelhouse.
Those videos are such a treat! Educational and fun😊 Also, the fact you have an outside sink to prep food is awesome! Didnt know I wanted one but could probably use it like 3 months a year most due living in a much colder place.
Huge props to your editor, the part where Jacques was listening to the sizzle with the "hello mfer" sound clip, I lost it LOL too good!!
The two of you!!!!!!! I could watch this every single day. Happy Memorial Day and thank you!
I just know those buttered buns smelt like heaven
GIVE YOUR EDITOR A RAISE I'M CRYING AT Y'ALL SMELLING THE BUNS 🤣
Grilled onion leaves are delicious. Try it next time. No need to toss them.
More of these garden to grill video please!!! We just got our first blackstone and I’m still learning how to use it
Just found your channel today. You two make a good comedy show, love the humor. Would be awesome to see you doing a little campfire cooking in your backyard. And thanks to the neighbors for providing a tropical back ground with their strelitzias and palm trees 😅
Jacques 😂😂😂you're something else . Awesome video ! Happy memorial weekend to you both .
Hello Paula 👋 how are you doing today?
Y’all are awesome, I can’t even explain how much I loved this video!! That burger looked soooo good 😁 🤤
I wish my job was as much fun as you guys have!
I’m growing artichokes this year and I’m hoping to prepare them just like that. They look delicious 😋. Looking forward to see what’s in store for that special onion.

Definitely cooking up some artichokes today! That looks great, and we have so many from all of the rain this year.
The editing is hilarious! The sizzling talking was *chef’s kiss”.
Great video! I have already ordered my seeds from Botanical Interests and I believe they're in transit! Very good quality and variety! Greetings from Michigan! 😊
I stocked up on your seed sale just the other day. I won't be planting them until next year, but I'm still excited about the new varieties I bought. Thanks so much for the savings.
This video was so fun! I enjoyed the intro, the cookout, and the info.
❤ Love your harvest and cooking videos, keep it up!
Thanks for the great price on seeds. We grabbed several packs.
This video is amazing. This is so wholesome and wonderful to seenyou guys enjoying yourselves in the garden and on thr Blackstone
Great show guys! Love it when you crack each
other up. Guys couldn’t afford the special sale but sure appreciate the texted discount! Can’t wait for the arrival. Collecting potting soil as we speak!🎉
Jacques: "I'll be right back"
*frolics away into the garden*
Love the creative, fun intros! Another informative and relaxing video.
Got my seed order in today! Stocking up for garden this year
Quick tip. Par cooking grilled potatoes in a microwave with some water works great too.
I’m loving this video. Anytime I can I love to cook straight from the garden to the grill. The best flavor
I bet Jacques is at least level 40 and could easily give the first 7 gym leaders a whoopin
So jealous here in zone 6a bbq capitol of the universe KCMO. Happy Memorial Day to the 2 most goofy and entertaining gardeners on TH-cam
Loved it! Bring on the grilling recipes!
I always want to hang out with you guys EVERY video but harvesting AND cooking. Let me a boom mic operator and joint roller, LETS GO
I walked outside yesterday and got myself some onions,lettuce,and a few potatoes. Made myself some garlic onion potatoes,and a some sautéed onions for my bacon cheeseburger.
lolz, jacques is so harvesting your onions. If i was his neighbor, i would too!
funniest episode ever. Love it guys. ❤garden grills - PLEASE WEEKLY EP!
Gotta season those tomatoes, glad there was some flaky salt on there. Bringing out those glutamates! Going to have to try some artichokes on my burgers this weekend!
Love this channel ,always a job well done 👌🏼
15:40 gotta do the red sauce onions, the traditional NYC dirty water dog style 😋
some tajin on those artichokes would be absolute fire I guarantee it
You 2 are hilarious. It’s so nice to see you having fun while your working. 😊
as a life long hunter, I would KILL to see you hunt! definitely a area I didn't expect you to enter!
The secret to lovely caramelized onions is to put them on a low heat before anything else goes on, then the next longest cooking thing, then the next etc etc and the egg last as it takes the least time.
Jacque, we like to put everything seasoning on our tomatoes, so good.
I love that is pokemon editing mixed with gardening jargong. Reminds me of the good old days :)
Fun episode! I like that the prep counter, sink, and grill are all outside next to the garden👍
7:50 Not the sticker still on the lid 😂
Did Kevin say he makes videos about hunting on another channel? I couldn't find where. I'd love to watch those videos, too!
I loved the "kylie jenner" cutting method Jacques utilized to cut the spiked of the first artichoke.
Does anybody know where to find the video of Kevin hunting he mentioned at 6:06 ? I'm an avid hunter and actually really interested in seeing Kevin try it out.
Jacques getting a “Grilling”😊😊😊
you can caramelize onions significantly faster by adding a small amount of baking soda. It speeds up the process a LOT. mix a tiny bit of baking soda with a tiny bit of water, and pour it over after your onions have turned translucent.
Honestly this editor is killin it! 🤣
Excellent style and humor.. could I make a suggestion? Use some panel lights for front lighting in the shady setting. The prep scene was a bit dark
The buttered bun sniff was the best! I laughed so hard!!!!
I just love ya'lls crazy antics!! We all need to laugh LOL
The bloodshot eyes from smelling the buns. 🤣
Delightful:) Can I get a link to that breakfast grilling video you mentioned?
These videos with Jacques are absolutely hilarious! I love them!
9:00 I snorted out my drink. Poor egg! 😂
Oh that Egg toss was Perfect😅😂
I want this life. Just a giant garden, good cooking, and getting high on the scent of buttered buns. 🤣
adding water and "steaming" the onions helps them caramelize faster!!
