Yeh enjoyed the bonding but i would probably just take the pole hedger and walk along and trim everything down. I ain't got time for this insanity hehe.
The kitty steals the show again ;) Coming from part of the world where we have no lizards (well, I think 3 native ones that are very rare) seeing her capturing one was hilarious. I did also laugh at your machete attempts, looked pretty good in the end,trying new toys is part of the fun! Glad to see you're managing to get some good over wintered harvest from the beetroot etc. Pickled just in vinegar with a few peppercorns is the absolute best way to eat it. Ps. I've been thinking this for ages but Jacques has been a wonderful addition to your channel, having someone to play your humour off against is a really good addition, you seem more confident and like you're genuinely having great fun filming.
A tip for using all those beet greens: discard the dead or damaged leaves, cut the good ones into thirds or quarters, (depending on what size you want) and boil them all. Then strain them and let them sit to dry out. And you can freeze what you're not going to immediately use in bags that are big enough for one dinner. And when you want to use it, fry it in some oil, and add salt, and enjoy.
I got so freaked out after I ate a bunch of red beets then went to the bathroom afterwards! I thought i had internal bleeding but then remembered I ate a bunch of beets.
Pro tip. Add some beet greens to your beet borscht! The greens also go good in a nice “zumma borscht” (aka summer borscht that doesn’t have beetroot in it). I also love beets roasted with salt, dill, and feta. I like cooked feta though and it sounds like that might not be the vibe Kevin wants 😅
I adore beet greens. I make a warm salad of the wilted greens and soft chivy goat cheese. Love to pluck them as cut and come again until the root is bigger.
Love the mural on the wall! So colorful and fun. I think the bushmaster was sharper. Glad to see you made it through the chop n drop and didn't clip any body parts. LOL. 🌈❤️🌎✌️
Also I pickle most of my Beets they last a long time in the refrigerator and they're wonderful pickled be sure and add some sugar to the pickling brine
I used the beets I grew this past season in some smoothies. They turned out surprisingly sweet and delicious. I'd say beets eaten raw can be quite versatile. Mark from Self-Sufficient Me lists some good uses for beets in his beet video. Also ngl, the way you guys used those machetes did look pretty fun.
Bloody nuttas. Take your arms off with those lol. Green manures are such a good way to protect the soil and improve its structure and nutrient values. Brill video guys
Informative and funny video. There are sharp rake type implements that you swing that can chop without tiring the arm with that tennis swing.. I never ate a dicon radish. But I love roasted beets and steamed beet green grown without pesticides. I wrap the beet in foil and put it in the oven or on the grill to steam roast. Nothing like those nasty jars from the store. And after roasting and slicing, they can be frozen in bags for later consumption hot or cold without loss of flavor. I learned that 2 years ago when I had an over abundance. Beet tops can be blanched like spinach and frozen too. Love the Cat's lizard and how it escaped. Lots of fun distractions. Happy gardening
Lol when you patted your butt. Careful with those machetes. My husband's grandmother, when she was younger, almost lost a leg when her machete bounced back from her swing and hit her hard in the shin. She has a huge scar.
I freeze those beet greens and put them in my smoothies, the beets themselves are good in smoothies too. I get it that you had a lot to process but they are so good!
OMG! Good thing kitty wasn't hiding in the cover crops when you were chopping it down! Could you use a hedge trimmer to cut the crops down? You guys are too funny, LOL! The Epic Chicks look very healthy and happy - way to go "Dad!" WIth your irrigation set up, doesn't the mister cause problems with the wet leaves? Say, when did the mural go in? How did I miss that video?
If you want to try another awesome beet salad try cooked, cubed and add to cooked cubed potatoes, capers, cut up cornichons, parsley, green olives, black olives, salt, pepper, in a Dijon vinaigrette.
Hey Kevin, great video! I clipped your video so I could easy find your tip to cooking Beets and your recipe! Definitely want to try it! Sounds delicious!
I would love to see an area dedicated to making lechon but since this is about gardening, growing pumpkins or watermelon where you "manually plowed" would be a good addition to the garden.
Hi, there is a tool used in the Caribbean called a "Brushing Cutlass" that would have done amazingly in this application. There are youtube videos on it that you cam look at. Enjoy !
You two are hilarious. Machete Brothers! Ha! We want to see all the things going on on the homestead! The good, the bad, the ugly! It would be fun to see a snapshot of your week vlog style.
Mmm bake the beets in the oven in a foil pack, with chévre cheese (feta cheese, or brie can work sometimes too), pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of honey and a little balsamico vinegar. Man, it is sooo goooood. 💚
My vote is to put in a giant pumpkin. I can hook you up with 2,000lb pumpkin seeds/genetics. Super fun they put on 40lbs a day when they are hitting their stride!
Way, that's not even uncommon. And 2,000lb genetics nowadays are not that hard to come by. A lot of people want their seeds grown, so they will throw their heavy genetics around the country like candies!
Just two dudes bonding over beets and machetes. This is the wholesome quality content I signed up for.
The way life is meant to be
Yeh enjoyed the bonding but i would probably just take the pole hedger and walk along and trim everything down. I ain't got time for this insanity hehe.
You guys' reaction to Bobca showing off the lizard was priceless. Only to be bettered by your reactions when it started to run. 😆

It's fun having friends around!
The fact EVERYTHING STOPPED when the cat appeared is fantastic♥︎

Thank you for the laughter in this video
I'm surprised you guys didn't use the scythe. You were having so much fun with it the last time you used it.
Honestly same!
You guys are hysterical. The chickens are growing so much. Blessings from Australia.
Maybe hit a little lower...I used to use a scythe. The circular shape catches a bundle.
That’s what I thought. A scythe is the right tool for that task. But maybe they did it for the show. 😄
Yeah i was thinking
The probably want to chop it to smaller pieces.
Lmao your camera person is BRAVE AF 😁🤣😁🤣😁
Just two garden guys having a great time on the homestead 😂😂😂
Omg I was a little scared w you guys swinging those machetes. Be safe ❤️
Truly enjoyed watching this. Not only learning but watching you guys having fun.
the fun you guys have together is totally infectious :)
I got so freaked out after I ate a bunch of red beets then went to the bathroom afterwards! I thought i had internal bleeding but then remembered I ate a bunch of beets.
Oh my gosh I’m laughing so hard at the machete stances! Love that you don’t take yourself seriously and it’s so fun to laugh with you about it all. 🤣

I adore beet greens. I make a warm salad of the wilted greens and soft chivy goat cheese. Love to pluck them as cut and come again until the root is bigger.
You can also put tarp over the cover crop and let it decompose that way
you guys have the same reaction to those earwigs as i have to snails lmao
did I miss the video about the Mural? It looks so cool!
Coming soon ;)
It was on the Epic Instagram a couple weeks ago. It’s amazing, go check it out so you can zoom in for the details. :)
Lazy dog farms, mows his down and then works it in. You can also plant that, let it get up a little and put chickens on it, then you can work it in.
The mural in the background is beautiful. Please tell us all about it🙏
Yeah to more videos!
The mural!!!!!
Radish seed pods are delicious when pickled.
Love the mural on the wall! So colorful and fun. I think the bushmaster was sharper. Glad to see you made it through the chop n drop and didn't clip any body parts. LOL. 🌈❤️🌎✌️
Shower area is starting to look good 👍
Also I pickle most of my Beets they last a long time in the refrigerator and they're wonderful pickled be sure and add some sugar to the pickling brine
When you casually cut the Dikon like a BOSS😂😂
I do a 1/4 inch cubed carrot and beets chilled then pour warm coconut oil over the chilled beets,carrots. Salt to taste before. I use big natural salt
In my country, we juice the beets with carrot and citrus.. then sugar.. best juice for people for lost a lot of blood.
Epic Chicks, lol, love that :)
Golden beets are the best
"You didn't cut anything" 😂 that actually made me lol
i love the lavender orpington
I would definitely go at it with a weed whacker. Ours is electric too, so it's not too loud
You boys are hilarious.
I agree with you- when there's too many? It's not.
Borsht goes with everything.

Time to get pickling! That's a s*%!load of beets. Well done.
That looks so fun. I want to chop thingsssssssss
Machete improvises.
Chickens love beet greens.
We live in the tropical jungle, so machetes are with us all the time and our cat catches lizards, iguanas, mice, rats... you name it.
Machetes work well for root division, cutting off bottom tangled plant roots that were in containers.
Add some lemon and toasted walnuts to that beet salad too. It’s yummy.
I have a lovely beet quiche
Pickled beets is my go to 😊 yummm. Looking good, Chete dudes.
The homestead has come a long way. Love the chicks. 🐥
Bloody nuttas. Take your arms off with those lol. Green manures are such a good way to protect the soil and improve its structure and nutrient values. Brill video guys
Hahaha we can't resist
Yep
this project screams emergency room visit
Vortex drip emitters? That sound interesting. Can't wait to hear more.
Woohooo!
Love this video! Got me laughing 😆
+1 for Bobka!
Literally just finished watching the seed video on the other channel
My cats watching this with me and is very interested in your cat and her lizard

You 2 are freaking hilarious😂❤️ Sharpen those machete's boys...lol
I freeze those beet greens and put them in my smoothies, the beets themselves are good in smoothies too. I get it that you had a lot to process but they are so good!
One of the more interesting videos you e posted in a while!!!
I just mowed mine down.

I bet the chickens would love the earwigs
If you want to try another awesome beet salad try cooked, cubed and add to cooked cubed potatoes, capers, cut up cornichons, parsley, green olives, black olives, salt, pepper, in a Dijon vinaigrette.
Get a weeder and put a table saw blade on it to chop that down its crazy
I need to fine tune my machete technique. Probably sharpen mine as well. This was super fun to watch.
You both looked like you really enjoyed yourselves. Lol 🤣
Beet greens in curries and lasagna instead of spinach is absolutely delicious! I love my beet greens!
Pure
Grow some sunflowers and then give the chicks the sunflower seeds, they love them!
Beet Jelly!
Sooo much salad fixings! I have friends that would pay big for the flowers.
Some food banks would take the beet greens.
So happy for a new video.. Please upload more videos.
Two a week now!
Love the machetes
You guys work really well together! Great team!😊🌱👏
Hey Kevin, great video! I clipped your video so I could easy find your tip to cooking Beets and your recipe! Definitely want to try it! Sounds delicious!
My go to beet prep is roast then pickle. The pickle juice is a great addition or ingredient to mayonnaise.
I would love to see an area dedicated to making lechon but since this is about gardening, growing pumpkins or watermelon where you "manually plowed" would be a good addition to the garden.
Love the mural!

i love to pickle beets, jar after jar
Picked beets! Definitely delicious- and then you can make red beet eggs.
This is what they mean when they say 'boys will be boys' 😂
my harvest moon experience tells me to use sickle 🤣 instead... hahha... good workout though...
You could call the silver chick ‘Sterling’ as in the ‘Sterling Silver’ metal!
Your silver lace should be called Prada. Then you have Gucci and Prada, the designer sisters.
Mmm bake the beets in the oven in a foil pack, with chévre cheese (feta cheese, or brie can work sometimes too), pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of honey and a little balsamico vinegar. Man, it is sooo goooood. 💚
To your beet salad - try with walnuts (or nut of choice) to add texture and protein 😊 and maybe goats cheese (chèvre)
My vote is to put in a giant pumpkin. I can hook you up with 2,000lb pumpkin seeds/genetics. Super fun they put on 40lbs a day when they are hitting their stride!
No way?!
Way, that's not even uncommon. And 2,000lb genetics nowadays are not that hard to come by. A lot of people want their seeds grown, so they will throw their heavy genetics around the country like candies!
I love this dynamic the two of you have. It’s great!
i would love to see you mow that and turn it into compost
You two are so funny. Who says gardening isn't exercise 🤪
So fun!🤣🤣🤣
Can't wait for more videos love them
Ummmmm when did I miss the MURAL???? WOW!!
