Funny meatloaf story. A truck stop chain was advertising home made meatloaf on the menu. I asked the waitress if it was made with bread or cracker crumb or oats . The cook hollers out I don't know it comes in a plastic role ,I slice it and heat it. I had a long conversation on the phone with corporate. Couple weeks later the new menus read home style meatloaf.
As someone with reflux I can tell you the more green vegetable I eat the better I feel. Also other vegetables and less red meat. I eat a lot of fish, shellfish, chicken and Turkey and have a lot less issues than I used to have.
Collards, cabbage, broccoli and rutabagas is all I've harvested thus far. My lettuces, spinach, kale and chard haven't really kicked off so good. However we had some broccoli greens for the first time and they were really good. If you haven't tried them, you're missing out
Believe it or not the green leaves from broccoli are great tasting as a replacement for collards add to chicken soup or your flavor meat, tasty on a bologna or meat of choice sandwich. Or in smoothie, Yummy, besides compost. Thank you for your hard work, proud of ya😊
Just a thought. Consider raising a small batch of black soldier flies. The excess from your garden are fed to the larvae, then at the pupae stage the pupae are fed to your chickens. The larvae/pupae create frass, the larvae/pupae poo. The frass works as a natural bug deterrent and a feed for the plants. You can build your own black soldier fly set up or buy one. One company that makes them is in North Carolina. The cost before shipping runs $325 but they are built to last forever with care. And the process is easier. Considering your weather the payback would be fast as your BSF season is long and could easy be 10-12mos a year. BSF, like maggots from house flies, are excellent protein, fat and carbohydrates for chickens and can replace up to 30% of their feed. They will eat meat, breads and garden waste.
Not much ready here in NE Texas. I planted late. I have all the cabbage heading. I have young turnips, Rutabagas, Spinach, Radishes, Kale, Bunching onions and Collards.
Just an FYI even when you have your own fresh organic broccoli, they suggest you flash boil it before you eat it so that it breaks a barrier that broccoli has so you can easily digest it.
Zone 7b here, this week I harvested collards, kale, spinach, carrots, some rosemary and thyme. I sure do envy your longer growing season. Thinking mine may have to end this next week with the cold front on the way.
I agree with stuff possibly getting in the single digits out in the country. Collards and kale are very tough though and some of those varieties can go down in the single digits uncovered, covered they could probably pull it off.
We once had a fabulous garden, and I sure miss it. Yours looks heavenly. Supposed to be the healthiest all time veggie is sprouted broccoli. Even folks with sensitive digestive systems can tolerate it.
Thank you for announcing the date of your video. This helps me gauge me progress in my garden, where I'm 150 miles from you (Columbus). I'm in a suburban standard lot; growing turnips, cabbage, beets, radishes, carrots, kale, brussel sprouts.
I grew celery last season and loved being able to cut just what I needed. Even after I cut the rest before the frost, a few weeks later it had started to regrow!
@@anitamcdonald9629 Broccolini! This is the first year I've grown broccolini, just one plant (that cost $5 as a young plant at Walmart!) and I am in love! Such a full, mellow, sweet and delicate flavor, and it would probably still be sending out shoots if I hadn't had to put the garden to bed for the winter. I did read there are several varieties, so I want to be sure to buy the right kind of seeds.
I am watching this video from the NE part of the states. I am freezing my tail off pining for the day I can go out and start my garden. The smell of warm earth and the feel of fine soil is calling me!
Bro, you speaketh da troof regarding your machinery being finely lubed. I made a salad with kale, arugula, fennel prawns, spinach and chard and woowee! I guess when it's really fresh it has a better impact. POUNDS LIGHTER!
Hi everyone! For sure some of the comments are hilarious, well I harvest green pigeons, bananas, Napa cabbage, pak Choi, oregano cilantro, ginger, turmeric, parsley, turnips and kohlrabi. But I for real enjoy when everyone harvest different things and your garden is amazing organized and pretty!
I like to ferment sliced radishes and rosemary and garlic together in salt water brine. Very good for your gut microbiome! Use in salads for months, keep in fridge. Had a good harvest of the white Japanese turnips I had never tried here in Deep South but did well.
Do you mean you pickle them ? I have a gut problem I'm trying to get over . I would like to try your recipe . Thank you, much Respect and Blessings to you and your family . 🤠🖖
Some good Eatin groceries. Proud of y’all for working so hard taking care of your family. With all those fresh groceries feeding those boys, you’re going to be growing football players:) Praying over you & your sweet 💗family, Trav🙏
Here In south-central Indiana I've been harvesting loose-leaf lettuces and baby kale and parsnips and a few radishes here and there as well as some herbs and wild onion
I have lettuce and collards coming out of my ears. First year doing a big garden. The kids like going to the garden store and picking all they want for the week.
In northern Idaho plant brassica in late summer & cover appropriately for 2 feet snow. Time corn & squash by variety of growth time, & (if you can,) greenhouse time.
I’ve only been growing for 2 or 3 years so not much experience. So I appreciate you walking through the farm and actually looking at all the different vegetables. Thank you and Merry Christmas🎄
Your Broccoli is looking good...😊 Radish, lettuces, kale collards rudibakers (spelling), celery, parsley, carrots though small. looking good in the Dream garden, yes better than the supermarket. Potatoes in Sydney Australia 😊
Just found your channel Getting lots of zucchini come through and when I have lots of zucchini I chop Blanche and dry the zucchini and store it away for over Winter to use in soups and stews etc in winter i also give some to family, from Australia i wish my broccoli would grow as well as yours.
Mighty fine looking greens Travis. That broccoli will definitely make some super dishes for sure. We've been harvesting a good bit of onions (multiplying onions) ourselves lately which also goes well in a salad. Thanks for sharing.
I've only got 6 broccoli plants in my beds. One of them is a few days away from harvest and they all have small heads on them. It's going to freeze tomorrow night, so I'll be deploying my Agribon covers over the onions (planted yesterday), rutabagas, mustard greens, cabbage, cauliflower and a few others. I have some beets ready to harvest and my carrots aren't even as big as yours yet, nothing to see there. The lettuce is feeding us enough to force us to eat salads, which is good. I have a Sungold tomato plant I planted last March that is still producing, but that will end tomorrow night. The rest of my Fall tomatoes will be harvested tomorrow. A few will be green, but we did pretty well with them this year. The weather was kind to us this Fall. I did get one Fall Pumpkin the size of a basketball that will be decorated like Santa with a mop beard a Santa hat and some Christmas lights. Texas 8B. Merry Christmas to you and your family Travis and to anyone who read down this far.
Greens are proven to clear arteries of plaque, reversing heart disease. The leaves of broccoli and cauliflower are at least twice as nutritious as the fruiting vegetable. Delicious and worth eating.
Only thing ready for harvest in our garden is snowballs, but we have some good potatoes, onions, and squash in the root cellar for winter eating. Watching you garden this time of year sure makes GA look nice.
Travis your raised beds are producing great and look awesome! We have been harvesting broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and radish largest cabbage was 10 lbs, it was one of the giant varieties, bigger than a basketball.. you're right fresh greens will turn it around and turn it loose 🤣!!✌🏻
Travis, looks like were going to get down into the low 20's next week. Are we going to loose our pretty fall garden veggies ? Maybe you could do a show on how to try to protect your garden, from total loss. Thanks
In Arizona we are in our 3rd growing season, cool weather stuff, Chiles, Tomatoes are in the starter trays, the soil is 70sF in 1st week of March. Then heat, heat, heat till end of Sept, when we plant Brassicas, beets, carrots. Spinach. After the melons get terminated. Oct is Sweet Potato harvest time, the cotton fields get treated for defoliation and the white flies come to the gardens. Life is great.
Curled mustard,rutabaga cabage Siberian kale Chinese cabbage purple tops curly kale swiss chard beets spinach carrots sweet peas collards radishes. Kohlrabi. In SE NC
I think we're in the re re re re fall with possible snow Christmas (I call bs) before early spring and re re re re re fall. Gotta love lower SC and GA.
Those greens would be excellent chips. Kale chips are yummy. I imagine they broccoli greens would dehydrate really well. You could also make green powder tò
Love those groceries you have been harvesting! I’m hoping I’ll have a better crop next year as I have just started resurrecting our garden that has been laying dormant for about 20 or more years. We are the 3rd generation living here and I’ve been recently forced into retirement due 5o disability so he better time than the present to get t(e garden going again. If yo7 have any suggestions I greatly appreciate them. I’m planning on adding drip this winter for the summer since it was so dry last year. We also stated planting the orchard with a few varieties. I’ll,be adding 9me raised beds to this for some herbs and veg eatables as well. We have almost 10 acres but only using part of it as each year my goal is to add onto t(e garden until we get enough to put up, and cook most of our meals from. We have chicken which offer some fertilizer and just added some rabbits. Zone 8b hugs and love from Texas.
It is going to be really cold next week fri a high of 31 degrees and lows of 20 degrees. Do I need to havest my onion cabbage broccoli and cauliflower?
Just keep the soil moist around the onions and they should make it. I'd definitely harvest the broccoli and cauliflower. If the cabbage is close, I'd get it too.
Great job Travis, after u picked the broccoli. Heafs, tou will get side shoots later. Heck yes on the greens, we love kale and collards cooked up, here's a tip 4 you. Add liquid smoke to taste you will love it.
Ever wonder why some southern recipes are guarded? I experimented on my own. It just works. Travis put it on your channel later. If more folks get on board with greens I'm happy!
All those brassicas can go into saurkraut, as a big part of the ferment. I've had half collard, half cabbage kraut. Pak choi and Napa cabbage goes in kraut very well . Culture the brine with a tbs. of plain, natural live culture yogurt. It's the same cultures. (Lactobacillus.)
Just keep a close eye on it. If you've got heads exposed and expecting a freeze, might want to wrap the leaves around the heads or go ahead and harvest it.
Beautiful, tidy garden beds! Can you please share the names of the four lettuces and where you get the seeds, especially the red one on the right side of the raised bed? Thanks!
The 5 varieties of lettuce we have planted are: Cherokee (that's the red one), Sparxx, Muir, Bauer, and Adriana. We got all these seeds from Johnny's Seeds online.
Living in Georgia, can you plant broccoli and cauliflower all winter? I'm in Louisiana and have almost eaten all I planted back in October. Wondering if I can start some more or if it's too late.
Absolutely just stumbled upon this video. Excellent looking garden! Just had some collards a few minutes ago but they didn’t look nowhere as good as yours. I live near Orlando now but grew up in the Sale City area. Brought back lots of memories and enjoyed seeing home! Good job and keep the videos coming.
Just picked a bunch of beet tops, chard, spinach, and bok choy to eat tonight (hopefully). This past week I pickled carrot/daikon strips and nibble on those regularly. It may be time to pull the 'gai lan' but I'll check that out this weekend.
Looks delicious, I stepped out this year and planted some Bok Choy just to try something different , but the window seal sprouts are mighty leggy , so we shall see how that turns out .
I may consider that when we run out of these bags. I still have several big rolls leftover from when we used to sell our veggies locally, so I'll use them since I have them.

I was raised eating broccoli but in growing my own plants, I tried the leaves and they are great to eat.
Yes! Before growing them I didn't know the entire broccoli plant is edible, even the flowers (if you don't harvest soon enough), same with broccolini!

After you cut the main head of broccoli, will the plant make side shoots later, and have you ever tried eating the leaves from the broccoli?
Yes, the plant will make some smaller side shoot heads if you leave them in the ground. We're hoping we get some of that. I have not tried the leaves.
The leaves are as good as any to me.
Travis you gotta try mixing broccoli greens in with your mustard greens. Also your chickens will love them.
I want to try some of your recipes.

Thanks.
Got lots of daikon radish. The top part out of ground has turned green. Is it still ok to eat?
Yeah just maybe cut off the green tops and eat the rest.

Oh my goodness where do you live that you can grow a garden like that this time of year?? Amazing absolutely beautiful.
Have you considered using reusable produce bags for home use?
I may consider that when we run out of these bags. I still have several big rolls leftover from when we used to sell our veggies locally, so I'll use them since I have them.
