“Im just glad I was able to grow my wife’s favorite vegetable” girls get you a man like jun who will plant your fav veggies. That was honestly so pure I loved it
Next time you have super long stems, do not hesitate to plant them a bit deeper. It makes for a sturdier plant that way. The plant will be less sensible to drought and wind and will spend less energy making the stem all study. Also, don't hesitate to plant them a bit tighter. Having too much space between plants can be detrimental (allows weeds to grow, water to evaporate more etc...). You mentionned the need to have better drainage (wich makes sense since your climate seems quite humid) but since your soil seems very sandy, you should be fine.
This is exactly what I wanted to say to Jun. Especially with cabbage (and its family) you not only can, but should plant deeper than the level it was at as a young plant/seedling.
I find it interesting that Japan (or at least that region in Japan) also has acidic soil. I live in the US, and I was surprised when a youtuber was adding sulfur to his soil to help his vegetables grow, when I have always added lime in my region. It turns out that where he lives has a lot of limestone, so the pH of the soil is very basic and sulfur will take it closer to neutral. Geology and the way it affects horticulture is just fascinating.
I bought a kid to test soil alkalinity and rocked the test tube gently [my father was a chemist and used to take us to the lab] and BAM. That's Arizona 4 u.
It makes sense that Hawaii has acidic soil since it was formed from volcanic activity. I guess Japan was too. Peat moss makes the soil more loamy. Where I am has lots of clay and not much else, I suspect Hawaii has very sandy soil. I could see very sandy soil in Jun's garden. We add peat moss and sand to amend the soil so it's easier for roots to penetrate, then we lime everything down to bring the soil closer to neutral.
Possible Romanesco hack: Harvest only the edible bit and leave the plant as is - my broccoli instantly regrew, so it might work for romanesco as well! It gives you a few harvests from the same plant, without having to wait for a new plant to mature. :)
Shirogane Tsuki i also saw that reference and commented with a reference to the legend of korra where we learn that the cabbage man built a business so big with his cabbages that he went into the automobile and tech industry and he called it cabbage corp and had a statue of him with his cabbages right infront of the main entrance of his firm building. incase you never watched legend of korra i recommenced trying it because i was hesitant at first too but then found that i actually really like it and its fun to notice all the references they worked into it to make it go with avatar aangs story
what a guy; cook and gardener , everything done gracefully and well: that’s why i like this channel so much. i like watching people doing things well with their hands
Over the years my father has been growing orchids, which are my mother's fave flowers. While she has a herb mini garden where some ingredients for his herbal drinks are grown. This April will be their 37th wedding anniversary. Hopefully Jun & Rachel's garden will bloom for the many many years to come!
My fiance and I planted a garden last year and we made so many mistakes and hardly got anything out of it but we learned a lot. This year we should do a lot better but the weather has been crazy.
I wish you luck! Even the most experienced farmers make mistakes but get better each year. The first year is really learning about your land and any trouble spots you may have, or figuring out how much maintenance certain plants take. There's no way to know for sure if it will work out until you just try it. I work as a gardener, so when my clients tell me they want to start a vegetable garden, and if I have any suggestions, I always tell them to start with cherry tomatoes, beans, kale, parsley, chives, and basil. I think those are the easiest, while also producing something that's pretty easy to cook with, and you get a good yield.
P Heart I have no idea what your brain runs on but I’m pretty sure it’ll take just as long to grow it yourself as it would if others do it. Also, it’s about the dedication and patience Jun had in order to grow something for his wife. Something you clearly don’t have or understand
@@ah-hyunsuh5026 I think P Heart meant that it will be faster to grow the vegetable yourself than wait until you find someone "perfect" to grow it for you >:P
Look into adding (used) coffee grounds and egg shells into the initial holes when planting. They add slow release nitrogen and calcium and phosphorus all season. And the shells have an added anti-slug benefit. Lookingforward to more about your garden adventures!
That's so sweet to be growing Rachel's favorite vegetable! I can't wait to see what you do the rest of the year and next year. You've learned (and taught us) so much!!
Jun, man... I've gotta tell you that all your hard work makes for one of the most relaxing and enjoyable videos I've seen. I really appreciate you sharing it with us! Good luck with the veggies!!!
Thank you for the video, it is very helpful to widen my view of making a food film in Seoul. These days due to COVID-19, many people have a difficult time. Stay safe and healthy. Let's hope this is contained and over soon.
Thanks for the update! If the cabbage head doesn't form, I think you can still eat the younger inside leaves in things like stir fry and as a salad. I failed the first time I did cabbage too.. but my failure was I didn't protect it from bugs :( Those paths are really ideal for walking in. Are you allowed to put something in them to keep your feet above any mud or wet, like stepping stones or pieces of wood? Also, to keep the roots warm maybe a paper, grass or cardboard mulch? It would keep weeds down, keep your topsoil there, and encourage good microbial balance in the soils. I know Japan gets lots of rain, and it's cold in the north, but that's about all I know of your climate
Beetroot needs similar growing conditions to Romanesco, and is one of my favourite vegetables to cook with. You can eat the leaves (they're chard with skinny stems) as well as the roots. I imagine the rich purple-red colour would make the root an absolute dream for a Japanese chef. My favourite way of cooking it is Borscht, an eastern European soup that is packed with shredded root veg, mostly beetroot. I sometimes do an Anglicised version by cutting the veggies chunky and adding venison or beef, red kidney beans and red wine. Perhaps you could experiment and figure out a Japanese take on the original recipe?
Yay a update on this! Edit: I just watched the whole video and I’m so glad you were able to make so much progress on the garden and get some vegetables you can use! Anyway Great editing and content as usual
What a cute garden, it's interesting how climate and the weather affect the planting period. Living in a place with no natural disasters and a tropical climate, I can plant almost anytime I want in the year.
Hello Jun, thank you for this wonderful video. I always love seeing how creative and hands on you are. I hope this inspires other people to grow their own produce and give them confidence to try new things. Your videos always bring a smile to my face and I get excited every time you upload one. I wish the absolute best for your vegetables. I know that you will have success Jun. Recently I started growing a bonsai tree. It’s gradually getting bigger and I hope it will last awhile, I’ve been doing my best to care for it wish me luck.
Been waiting for an update on the garden since you and Rachel cleared the weeds out, glad you at least got the Romanesco to grow properly, the Cabbage looks more like the way Mignonette lettuce grows (open leaved and not a ball), not sure if that's lack of sunlight or not. P.S. Haku and Poki look super cute having a bro hug lol.
I've been having a really tough day today but watching this instantly calmed me down, from to music, to your voice, to the wonderful pureness of your gardening. Thankyou so much Jun, warm wishes from England
If the cabbages don't become balls that's ok, you can still eat the leaves. It takes time to iron out your gardening techniques to something that works for you. Your garden is doing wonderfully. 👍
It’s always interesting to me to see what people can grow in different places. I live in North Alabama (USDA zone 7b) and I tried a bunch of different “winter vegetables” this year (kale, beets, cabbage, and broccoli) and my only vegetable that did anything was Tuscan kale. Now I’m just waiting for March to begin so I can experiment with early spring vegetables. I’m trying arugula (rocket), carrots, snow peas, and an edible flower seed mix my aunt sent me for Christmas that has nasturtiums, pansies, snapdragons, basil, lovage, and a bunch of other varieties. Most of these are spring here because by June temperatures can get well over 30 degrees Celsius and stay that way until September sometimes into October. So I have a whole list of heat-loving veggies I grow every year, but spring and fall are unpredictable so often we don’t get a lot. It’s either too hot or too cold.
I love the timelapse at the end of the video! I hope these vegetables grow healthily. Rachel must be excited for those Romanesco. Thank you for the garden update~
As for being late in planting your garden, I would not worry as it still looks very nice, the vegetables are in healthy shape and still edible. I can just imagine what next season's bounty will look like. 🙌 for nurturing Rachel's favorite vegetable.
I’m never this early. It’s 5:30am here in Alaska. Your videos have a ASMR feel to them. I like that. Your videos are perfect to play in the background while I try to fall asleep 😴
I was waiting for your garden update to be honest. I am always rooting for Jun's garden. Watching this is so fulfilling and therapeutic. It made me believe again, that hard works and dedication actually will bear fruit (in this case, Rachel's Fav Vegetable!! )
I've been really looking forward to a garden update! Your garden is very satisfying! I love the newton furrows and the soil looks lovely. I hope spring time brings you good weather for growing lots of different things!
That is a beautiful romanesco. Give the red cabbage a little longer, it looks like it is just starting to head. Then again it might just bolt (flower and go to seed) before the head fully forms. Now it’s time to work on the summer crops! Nice of your plot neighbor to share a little of their harvest.
I love gardens and plant's too. I really enjoy doing it. I have a big garden and i have several fruit trees and many vegetables and flowers. It's a good feeling when you see your hard work pays off. ✌
WOW Jun's accent when speaking english has significantly improved over the years, I'm impressed! I've been watching since 2012 but lately only rachel's kitty videos which don't feature jun so much so this is a shock to my ears xD
I loved these videos!!! Please teach us more about Japanese gardening techniques, maintaining the garden, growing staple vegetables, etc... it was really interesting!!
you can plant closer & off-center (alternating left & right side of the mound) to fit for more type plants in your row. Their roots and leaves will still be far enough not to compete with one another. Good Job on your first one!
You can still use the cabbage and braise it. If you cut it really thin it should still be good I think 🤔 also the romanesco leaves can also be cooked like any other greens
How interesting. It looks like a soil with a lot of sand in it, the kind of soil that's perfect for carrots. It will be interesting to watch things grow.
The cabbage looks like it is flowering, to me. Don't know much about gardening, don't know if planted too early or too late, but flowering on approach of Spring might say late. As you said, they ball up with the cold. Anyway, thank you so much for the update! Garden looks lovely. Can't wait to see more.
Nice to watch this as I’m planting seeds tonight to get a jumpstart on my own summer vegetable garden!! Every year I swear I’ll start my seeds by mid Feb... and every year I find myself paying thru the nose for seedlings in early May that other people grew. NOT THIS YEAR!!!
jun, when you take the plant out of its pot, make sure to "tease" the roots, by that i mean break up the brick of soil, this makes it easier for the roots to expand into the other soil around the compost it was initially potted in
Love those videos. Please keep them up. I would also love to see an update on your plants at home. Rachel mentioned a half dead plant she bought in a vlog some time back and I'm really curious to see how it's been :D
“Im just glad I was able to grow my wife’s favorite vegetable” girls get you a man like jun who will plant your fav veggies. That was honestly so pure I loved it
I'm going to tear up. I hope they're always happy.
ahhjksss couple goals
Where can I get one? they're seriously adorable
People like Jun, there ain't enough to go around! He is so multitalented at times I question if he’s human hahah. They are such a cute couple.
Honestly the cutest thing 💖💖

Or go make yourself worth a man that will take the effort just to make you happy, instead of waiting until one appears.
Look into adding (used) coffee grounds and egg shells into the initial holes when planting. They add slow release nitrogen and calcium and phosphorus all season. And the shells have an added anti-slug benefit.

Oh my, Haku's face when you showed him and Poki. He was like, "How dare you show the world that I am snuggly human." >_>

aw jun, this video is so calm and lovely and informative!!! thank you for an update!! i hope you and rachel have a great day today!
Thank you for another great video.Please do more videos like these, would love to see more gardening lesson! :)
At 5:37 this little montage of you walking was the most satisfying thing ever!! ❤
it's so great that you can garden in february ;_____;
also did that dude give you a bunch of greens what a champ

Don't worry, Jun, even if the cabbages don't form a head, you can still harvest all of those lovely purple leaves to eat!
Really enjoy this, i'd never considered the amount of work it takes to make a veggie garden and the knowledge necessary.
Wow! That Romanesco 💕
This reminds me of Stardew Valley. I would love to see Jun and Rachel play that game together.
This is why i love this channel because i can just watch a person do gardening work and enjoy it
Been waiting for an update on the garden since you and Rachel cleared the weeds out, glad you at least got the Romanesco to grow properly, the Cabbage looks more like the way Mignonette lettuce grows (open leaved and not a ball), not sure if that's lack of sunlight or not.

Damn Jun you did a nice job amending your soil because it looks very sandy. Better luck next year on getting planted earlier.

Please do more gardening videos ! They’re so wholesome and nice to watch.
nothing in the world gives me as much serotonin as this man and his garden
I've been really looking forward to a garden update! Your garden is very satisfying! I love the newton furrows and the soil looks lovely. I hope spring time brings you good weather for growing lots of different things!
First time gardening is very much a learning experience with many hits and misses.
Love this video ❤

The bad part of this video was that it was only 5 mins.
I’ve been looking forward to this! Watching your video always makes me feel calm

This makes me so happy, in 2 months it’ll be warm enough here to plant my own flowers and vegetables.
Loved the transition/walking at the end
Where I live, we put down black plastic. One that reusable. It warms the soil. Then add a layer of clear over the top, also reuseable.
Looking forward to more garden adventures this year. Hope the weather is good to you.
Welcome to the world of gardening! You’ll find it addicting 🥕🥬🌱
I love gardens and plant's too. I really enjoy doing it. I have a big garden and i have several fruit trees and many vegetables and flowers. It's a good feeling when you see your hard work pays off. ✌

Thanks for the update Jun ^~^ Love the garden videos. Maybe a longer one next time? *~* Looking forward to it~
I loved these videos!!! Please teach us more about Japanese gardening techniques, maintaining the garden, growing staple vegetables, etc... it was really interesting!!
you can plant closer & off-center (alternating left & right side of the mound) to fit for more type plants in your row. Their roots and leaves will still be far enough not to compete with one another. Good Job on your first one!
I can watch jun’s garden videos all day it’s so nice and relaxing
Jun, what DON'T you do? I really admire your passion when it comes to your new projects!
May all your plants thrive 🙏🏼
Raised beds are what they are called here.
Don't be afraid to remove lower leaves on the cruciferous vegetable and plant them deep and very firm.
It's fascinating that you have this community garden. Wish they had that here!
You can still use the cabbage and braise it. If you cut it really thin it should still be good I think 🤔 also the romanesco leaves can also be cooked like any other greens
You make it look so easy, but I know from experience that gardens take daily (often twice or three times daily) work! It looks great!
How interesting. It looks like a soil with a lot of sand in it, the kind of soil that's perfect for carrots. It will be interesting to watch things grow.
The cabbage looks like it is flowering, to me. Don't know much about gardening, don't know if planted too early or too late, but flowering on approach of Spring might say late. As you said, they ball up with the cold.
Anyway, thank you so much for the update! Garden looks lovely. Can't wait to see more.
Nice to watch this as I’m planting seeds tonight to get a jumpstart on my own summer vegetable garden!! Every year I swear I’ll start my seeds by mid Feb... and every year I find myself paying thru the nose for seedlings in early May that other people grew. NOT THIS YEAR!!!
Depending on how tough they are, the cabbage leaves are still good to eat! I make cabbage rolls with the steamed leaf! So it's not a complete fail
jun, when you take the plant out of its pot, make sure to "tease" the roots, by that i mean break up the brick of soil, this makes it easier for the roots to expand into the other soil around the compost it was initially potted in
It's really interesting to see the type of soil you have over there, it looks so much sandier than the soils that I am used to.
Have patience on those cabbages, my mom had it for several months until it became a ball, and then it just ketp giving!
Nicely going Jun!!!!
Gardening ain't easy and it doesn't always work out
But I'm glad Rachel is gonna get her favorite vegetable!!!
I've waited for this video for so long, and i'm not disappointed.
Love those videos. Please keep them up. I would also love to see an update on your plants at home. Rachel mentioned a half dead plant she bought in a vlog some time back and I'm really curious to see how it's been :D
