kevin and jaques talk abt anything is my kind of podcast 🙂
Im so glad that you guys made this kind of podcast-ish on RUclips, I was struggling to watch all your other channels while putting on makeup, driving, cooking.
Now I can just listen and don’t get the fear of missing out from the screen
Amazing! 🎉🎉🎉
Yes! This is the content we need. If it was just Kevin & Jacques most weeks I would not complain.
For this, I’m liking and making all my friends subscribe
If you have a ton of eggs, I recommend making Angel food cake with all the egg whites and then you can make homemade ice cream with all the egg yolks.
Or make a huge batch of custard and fill up a bunch of cream puffs. You lighten the custard by mixing with whipped cream and then you have amazing cream puffs that are just like Beard Papa’s.
Dim sum style egg custard tarts are another way to go. It’s basically a mini custard pie.
Ramen eggs are a great way to eat them for lunch/dinner. Just make a rice bowl and have tasty ramen eggs for every meal. Don’t have to just have eggs for breakfast.
We make French toast and egg & cheese sandwiches for breakfast on the regular.
I could listen to you both for hours. Love the content and how natural the conversation flows.
Sauerkraut made with 100% grated carrots ….carrotkraut…. is FANTASTIC!
Mixing the cabbage and carrot is also good!
Awww I have such a crush on Jacques he seems so kind 🙂
Great video, you two are simply awesome!!
I would love to see an experiment where you grow onions on a fertilizing schedule that we could later follow. My onions starts never produces large onions. 😂
The beginning of this reminded me of the concept of: good, better, best. ANYONE who is growing their own food is doing something good and I won’t judge them for using synthetic if that is what is getting them in the garden. Better is obviously leaning toward organic growing principles. Best is growing organically and working toward that self-sufficient closed loop circuit. I don’t use synthetic ingredients in my garden but I won’t hate on someone who does. The food they’re growing is just replacing other food that is also grown synthetically that they’re buying in the grocery store.
This is the way! There isn't a correct answer, if you garden then we are here to support you!
I feel like you could have a dedicated youtube channel just for "farm to fork" cooking! 😋🍲🥘🍽
Wow, the difference is so stark in the camera equipment you use between this channel and your main Epic Gardening channel. This shows more true to life flaws and details, whereas the other camera smooths out and adds motion picture latency to your main videos. So interesting!
That potting soil video was a banger 🔥
Thanks!
For egg recipes, please try looking at some asian cuisines! I find western style egg recipes so limited T_T
1. Egg curry is tomato based, similar to shakshuka, you might love that on top of rice as a dinner.
2. Marinated mayak eggs (korean) are great, and last in the fridge for about a week.
3. Thai style scrambled eggs is another tomato based recipe, and it's SO incredible, so full of umami. Also eat on rice (hotthaikitchen has a great recipe)
4. Not an asian recipe, but sous vide egg bites are incredible and make great use of garden finds. Plus you're getting mildly into canning category there.
The OG team!
It’s crazy to me how little amount of experiments have been performed and yet we gardeners confidently say what works best. I’m in healthcare and research is the foundation of the entire industry, along with care itself.
Love the idea of the fertilizing experiment.
I’m in 7b and it is awesome! We can grow a lot of cold hardy plants, and a lot of warm weather plants. But I still get jealous of San Diego year round gardening. :)
Great video 👏 👏 Kev and Jacques are the best 👌
Carrots, get a Fullstar chopper to quickly cube them anD then blanch, freeze in 1 or 2 cup measures vacuum sealed. I love pulling them out to throw in soups and stews. Also, my Lee Valley 10 year garden diary is a life saver, it’s a serious game changer. Normally I would be freaking out right now because we have had such a cold spring that I think I won’t get a pepper or sweet potato harvest but I can see that in previous years I have actually planted as late as June 20 and had great harvests.
Would be very interesting to see the bagged soil experiment done in different ways and see the results
1. From year to year just adding a small amount of the same type each year to top off,
2. Organic and unfertilized soils with a natural fertilizer added, and
3. All of the bagged soils sifted to remove as much of the woody bits as possible.
It's interesting to hear about the different products available! I don't live in the US and here, everyone uses "garden soil" for containers, raised beds, and topping up in ground beds with or without extra additions like perlite, and it's very effective. I think the ingredients must be different.
My first Grow Bag Potato harvest, I made the dirty smashed, Dark Red Norland Potato. Was wonderful. ^ more bags of Potato to go, plus, refreshed, then, replanted potato into the grow bag, for an October Harvest
Hey know I love your chaotic recipes!
Eric is so mad about mircle grow being awesome, lol. Respect for still putting out the soil test video. Synthetics will not kill your soil life. You two are very dogmatic, but you live in Cali, so it's expected.
Aye - the "synthetics bad" stuff is ridiculous.
@@rich63113 only natural plant (gardener) failure here, my good sir.
My suggestion that loads might already have done - nasturtium pesto is delicious 😋😋, use the same olive oil, parmesan, garlic and even a little balsamic glaze🤔, oh and pine nuts
You just laid out what I did to make a mix to fill a low spot in my in-ground garden: garden soil, chicken manure, and homemade compost. If you could test what combo works best for doing that I would worship you as gardening gods.
Seriously loving this episode!
40:01 I liked freak frittatas. you taught me not to be afraid with experimenting and completely blowing off a dozen fresh laid eggs.
3 out of the top 4 soils in the soil tests were Miracle Gro. I’m still surprised by those results and happy that most of my plants are thriving in it. It was the cheapest and easiest to get. $13 for the 55qt bag of Moisture Control.
Funny thing is, I looked down on my mom for using it then said screw it because of the price and the quality was better than the super cheap soil I originally bought 😂😂😂 ❤ I apologized ❤❤❤❤❤
QUESTION: Kevin, do you pesto your nasturtiums? They are so peppery, it makes sense to use the entire plant.
With the fertilizer experiment, could you do a bag with just being topped off with compost as the fertilizer? I use homemade compost throughout the season as my fertilizer and my plants love it. It also helps with the raised bed shrinkage that naturally happens.
QUESTION 1: do you gents make tomato jam??? I am thinking of making that this year🤔.
QUESTION 2: Jacques, what do you do with your Amaranth?
I’m growing my peppers in bags. I lined them up along the fence on the west side of my yard, about 3ft away. The light is perfect and hot afternoon sun isn’t a problem. Hot here in south Texas 🥵
Jess Sowards in S. Carolina just keeps sowing summer squash because she hasn't found a way to get away from mildew. When one succumbs, another one is ready to take its place.
I love this video! I learned so much information from you all talking about your own gardens.
I’d love to see a mycelium/soil life count in the organic vs synthetic beds as well
Love your content! Subscribed to everything! Love from Lakeside, CA
I have found some commercial compost that had lots of chunks of wood with various colors of paint on it. (Blue, green,white) I was appalled & tried to take it back for a refund. The place where I bought it refused to refund my money & didn’t even offer a trade/substitution. This was during the height of the pandemic & some businesses felt that they could get by with practices like that because of the supply/demand dynamic.
Jacques❤❤❤❤
Timing issues: cold weather late in UK season resulted in spuds only being sown in MAY😮. But I will plant 1st earlies soon for late harvest. Tomatoes, I kept to determine...
🌺Aloha, enjoyed your conversation and sharing. You both look so tired. LOL
My husband just made Finger Lime Pie, it was delicious. 😋Take care. Happy gardening!
I loved this video. You guys have some of the same challenges that I do and I don’t feel so alone in it. I’m not liking the transition period either and plan on having more starts to fill in the spaces. My flowers were late coming up this year, but some of my bolted mustard has pretty yellow flowers 😂. The recipes sounded delicious. Thank you
This feels the same as the seed starting videos. Those are my favorites.
We like the weird stuff! 😆
Whenever I need to use up a lot of eggs (at least 5), I usually make Korean rolled eggs or the marinated eggs. Making rolled eggs is actually easier than it looks, so don't get intimidated when you watch how it's done.
Put chopped boiled eggs in your potato salad. Or if you like pastrami sandwiches top it with egg salad! Yum!
Fully agree with some shade for peppers
My habaneros, Serranos, tobascos are all doing well.
But for whatever reason I have had trouble with bell pepper varieties. Not sure what the deal is but I am on my second year of not doing so hot with those (pun intended)
Y'all how was I not subbed? Ugh...subbed again. What the heck youtube!
Wow the camera is amazing kinda feels like I'm there lol
I'm really curious about the difference in microbiology in a container vs. in ground. It's definitely not sterile. I do include compost. But am I wasting my time adding granular organic fertilizers? Currently I split the difference and use granular organic at planting and then carry on with water soluble synthetic.
I am in central Florida and it has been years since our last frost. I am Coastal so even 1 mile away they got frost. Sounds great but no frost equals not bug kill. White flies are my issue currently.
Where is the native nursery you mentioned. I would love to add more native plants.
In San Diego I like Native West their retail location is "The Little Barn", great local plants and fair prices. In the LA area Native West is amazing and their nursery is worth a visit if you are up there
Sounds close to carrot slaw but without the raisins.
I can’t seem to grow nasturtiums. They grow like crazy then don’t bloom. ??
Yea please do the video tests. I thought Kellogg’s was great. As you know from your experiment …. Not I need to fix it really want to know the best way.!
If you still have the harvest right freeze dryer, you can freeze dry the eggs. The egg powder they say will keep for 20 years in the mylar bags. You know for the ( deep creepy voice with action music in the background) APOCALYPSE! Whoooaaaahhh... Effect for my own entertainment, and Eric, I think he likes freeze dried eggs. lol
I enjoy the freaky garden recipes. How do people think their tried and true recipes came to be? They were weird and freaky at the start. My squash has been suffering from powdering mildew as well. I have to stay on top of pruning them out. I think next share I will try and plant salvias or some other sulfur-producing plant to see if the fungal disease is mitigated.
I understand different preferences, but I feel like the “American potato salad” comment was a bit hyperbolic. I haven’t found any store or homemade version that comes close to my family recipe, but I don’t believe the whole genre is deficient as a result. 😂
I have caught my chickens eating their own eggs, I feed high protein layer feed and scratch
I bought one roll out layer nest and as soon as I can afford it , will buy another one
So glad you decided to keep Jacques around on the channel. I just stopped watching a Nature's Always Right video, and Steven has officially gone off the deep end.
Why? What happened?
He said he is a Christian and doesn't like the government
@@priestswife that's the deep end?
Oh my goodness, I just watched about 30 mins of his most recent video. It’s so sad. I feel sad for him. He’s so smart, and he’s somehow gotten really confused.
@@Chris-bx4vkyes when it has nothing to do with the purpose of the channel. I’ve quit utubers for the exact same reason
What evidence is there for synthetic fertilizers killing off beneficial soil life in-ground?
I'm confused how is it that I jus kno of this podcast...
if you aren't eating it, there's nothing wrong with synthetic fertilizer.
Garden ornamentals - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, do weeds count🤔🤔
Lime your eggs.
the age old organic vs synthetic debate, which is actually just confusing terms and pretending things belong into one or another category. when humans just started modifying plants for farm production, there was not much choice of fertilizer. now we feed 8 billion people, thanks to more concentrated forms of fertilizer we developed, which need to be diluted properly for application and arent harmful to soil at all when done properly. so with "organics" you're just trying to re-create (but actually pretend) some imaginary utopian farming from centuries ago, that never was all that "organic" enthusiasts imagine. dumping massive amounts of dead wood matter onto soil is a recent invention that makes a lot of money for the sellers, but no farm grower in their right mind would be doing this to their soil, as they're not growing mushrooms.
Using wood chip mulch on your garden is not new. And it’s just mulch. And you can get wood chip mulch for free using chip drop so I’m not really sure what you’re going on about…
The reason why old farmers didn’t use mulch on their fields is because of plowing and not wanting to put carbon into the soil that would steal the nitrogen. But they did do organic forms of fertilizing by using aged animal manure which is compost.
@@francestaylor9156 : how much carbon is retained vs released as CO2 for say a 1 tonne of compost/mulch in 1 year? farmers are clever hard workers, and dont do work that has little if any ROI.
Organics are great until you get into hydroponics.
Both of you look soooooooo tired, get some rest boys
If you want to do a test like you say here 6:39 you need to really think it through. Small variables may seem like you are going into the weeds but they matter. They would need to be clones from a plant that is know for consistency and cut the clone from the same section of the plant because the hormones in the plant do change a lot from old growth and new. Temperature of the soil needs to be consistent regardless of how hard it may seem to achieve. The vpd should all be the same as well as the DLI for each of the clones. You would need to do a ph and ec check for consistency for all of the soils used.
