    Thanks brother. Much appreciated.
    One thing, you didn’t talk about how you can cut off the bottom part of the cabbage and stick it in moist sphagnum peat moss in order to grow a whole new plant. I was so amazed at this when I first saw it. Everyone on the planet earth should know this

    A good tip for the slug and cabbage worm control. For slug bait, leave a small bowl of stale beer out overnight and it will attract alot of the slugs. And for the cabbage worms, crush some asprin pills into a fine powder and sprinkle around plants after transplanting.

    Cut the cabbage head but leave the base of the plant. You will get 4-6 or more mini cabbages growing off the cut area. These take about a month to grow (in spring) and are delicious - excellent for stir frying.

  • @sqwrrl
    @sqwrrl 8 лет назад +5

    Thank you for your video, very informative as usual.
    In my Spring garden I set the cabbages a little deeper in the soil. This keeps the little plants steady in windy weather. I also put the rim of a cottage cheese container around them in the soil to keep off cutworm until the stems are a good size. Having said that, I have learned that planting them in the Fall garden I don't have such a battle with the cabbage worms.
    Don't discard the big leaves of cabbage that you pull off when you harvest the cabbage head. Those leaves are great sautéed in butter with a little dill weed, or used in soup as chopped pot greens.

    I just harvested my first cabbage head ever. It Seems such a waste to throw away those beautiful outer leaves! I tried eating a bit of one and it was not good!! Too bitter. I used the bigger leaves of the head to prepare stuffed wraps. We all love those. I stuffed them with ground meat onions and rice (precooked) and cooked the wraps in the oven with some broth. Delicious! Nice video. Thanks

    • @robertrangel09
      @robertrangel09 5 лет назад

      And I agree it seems like a waste to get rid of the outer leaves. Maybe compost? This is why I love having my few chickens. I give all my garden scraps to them they'll eat anything. And I get fresh eggs in return and have chicken poop for fertilizer for my garden.

    @killham1337 7 лет назад +2

    Love your videos. It's so nice to know that when i click one of your videos it will be complete from start to finish, way too many people make half a video and then publish it. Seeing you go all the way to harvest shows that what you're doing works. How does a year look like in California temperature-wise? I think I live in roughly the same climate and so can follow your tips for growing seasons but it would be nice to know for sure. I live in Fujian, China; spring starts around March with 15-25 degrees centigrade and lots of rain, summer starts in may with around 30 degrees sometimes up towards 40 and fairly dry (rain about once every other week). Around august typhoon season starts with longer rainy/cloudy spells but still warm. Around November the temperature dips below 30 degrees and some time in December we get winter with 5-15 degrees. Does that sound like it should be around the same growing seasons as you have?

    Hi there. First off I want to say that you are So easy to understand. Your way of breaking things down is perfect and even an idiot like me can get it. Now, in saying that, I have a question. I started gardening two years ago and noted some snails on my pots. I Happen to like snails. I'm sure I will find them again this year. How can one get rid of them without killing them? Are there ways to trap them so I could take them out to the wild and drop them off? Also, my main goal this year is to grow as much as I can for the sole purpose of taking the harvest to church drives in my area as well as some of the shelters. Everything I am using from pots to seeds to other containers is not what is costing me. It is the soil. I've called around to see if I can find it in bulk. I can, if I have a truck ( no truck ) and a Huge place to store it ( not enough space ).If you know of Any Way at all that I can cut my soil cost down, please let me know. Thus far the best I was able to find was at Home depot . 1 1/2 cu feet for just under $6. Just to give you a location of where I live, I am in the San Fernando Valley area.

    In the east/southeast--harlequin stink bugs are a huge overwintering problem, very hard to kill. But I'm going to try to baffle them this year with
    Mint, green/bunching onions (keep the size down), society garlic, garlic, chives, rosemary, catmint, basil, thyme, oregano... You get the picture. All these strong smells confuse not only stinkbugs but Japanese beetles.
    I'll let you know how it turns out!

    I think the smaller 'Heads' are idea for 'smaller' families. Grow a few BIG heads for 'Canning & Fermenting' and grow the smaller heads to help ensure you don't have A LOT OF LEFTOVERS that you don't want to eat anymore. You can get enough out of a 'small' head for SUNDAY dinner for two adults and two small kids or two days meals for two 'Retired' persons.

    I'm really curious about something though. Did you plant all those cabbages during different time periods? You must have a gigantic yard or something to produce all of those massive plants and whatnot :0 cool work though!
