On this super nasty day today, we go out to the big kitchen garden and have our first harvest in the fall winter garden. Today we harvest a huge basket of all top turnip greens, and then we show you how we prepare and cook the turnip greens, the cog hill way.

Turnip Green Recipe(Or any greens)
Ingredients:
1 bunch of greens(could be collards, turnips, kale, etc)
3-6 cups of chicken stock(depending on how big your bunch is)
Salt to taste
Directions
1. Prep the greens: We wash our greens 3 times with clean cool water in the sink to remove any dirt or grit from therm and then tear the leaves off the stems and drain well.
2. Pour your stock in a large stock pot and bring to a boil
3. Place your greens in the stock, adding more as the wilt down from the heat, and once all your greens are in the pot, turn the heat down to a low to medium simmer, cover and cook until tender (20-45 minutes depending on the amount)
3. Salt to taste
4. Once tender, remove from the heat, serve in a bowl with a large piece on cornbread and enjoy.

How about planting native wild flowers instead of grass.
Jason, do you find spending time with your hands in the dirt & reaping the rewards, therapeutic & satisfying?
sounds good
Slowly but surely. I love carrots.
Hey Jason and Brooke, my mama taught me as a kid to give your greens pretty good wash through like you did on the first one. But then she would say on the next wash you put salt in the water and therefore if you missed seeing some dirt or a bug the salt would make it release from the green. Especially if you were cleaning curling Leaf mustard or curly Leaf kale that kind of stuff. But seeing you gather those makes me wish I had some. Enjoy all your videos. Take care stay safe and God bless y'all
Love the driveway.
Howdy to all the Smith family, Mary Carl, Brooke and her Mom, and Jason…guess what? I turned 71 today to celbrate I had Bison steak and classic potato salad with Pineapple/Peach Kombucha by Kevita…it was good! The Bison has a nice taste…a bit tough, but very tasty. I feel blessed to be healthy at 71. You guys are blessed to have such a nice guy as Greg to make that driveway, etc…and you guys are blessed to have Mildred and all the other amimals..and such a nice winter garden already producing…:) God is good!
Awesome garden Jason! Can't believe how quickly the greens are grown and ready to cook. Greg did a wonderful job on the driveway. He is such a blessing to you all. Thanks for sharing your story with us. Love your videos and all of you, including your critters!💛
Yum! Cornbread and turnip greens! Looks good.
Looks wonderful
I believe those are mustards and I just picked about 3 5 gal buckets full and cooked a pot myself…and put the other up the freezer.
Thank you Jason and Brooke for all your wonderful videos. My wife and I have enjoyed them for some time. Today's video on greens stirred up some interest for us. We are in our 70's and have never had turnip or collard greens. We do enjoy spinach a lot with butter and salt. We have been growing our garden vegetables in some raised beds next to the house. Last spring in early May we tried to grow beets from seed, but they didn't do much until late May and I think we harvested a good amount in early June. Then we planted our summer stuff. We are in Zone 5a. I was wondering what you thought about trying either turnip or collard greens in early May to try and see if that works better for a early crop before our summer stuff. What would you recommend to start with, collard or turnip? Thanks much, Cal
Jason, You like farming so much, next year, you may consider planting a field full if corn to feed your chickens, cows, goats & feeder pigs. You can fence it off to keep the deer out and ket the corn dry on the cob naturally, then harvest it whole on the Cob. Yall can pull this off. And prepare for the upcoming famine. Joseph kept corn 7 years and saved nations! I'm just saying. You may regret not planting corn.
Hi Everyone thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all. Your garden is beautiful. I wish I had some beautiful greens like that to cook and eat .
Love to see your meals. Thank you
O MAN THAT IS MAKING MY TUNG SLAP MY BRAIN OUT…..I love greens cornbread & beans…..Thanks so much 👍
WOW EVERYTHING LOOKS AWSOME DRIVEWAY LOOKS GREAT
You could raise your own hay.
💗💗🥇🥇
Don’t care for turnip greens. Or collards. Love turnip roots. And Spinach. Mother used to like her greens mixed, turnip and mustard. With vinegar splashed over.
Wow that looked pretty interesting, & was wondering if you do eat any meat at all? Bless all of you
I love some greens but have never tried the chicken stock so that's next on the list. I will usually put a little bacon in mine so that would be alot healthier. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
I love them but I put onion in with mine just makes them a little zippier!!!
Hi….. Jason and Brooke nice to see you love watching your videos nice gardening vegetables 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐩🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🕊🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
They’re soooo good. I love greens.
Fortunately, when a situation calls for thinking like an animal, Jason , you have that talent!!! Cold here in Tennessee too, 39degrees her while I'm sitting here watching your video!!
Can you give the animals the greens that you don't want?
I live in NJ but my Granny was from West Virginia so we ate greens all the time! I prefer mine with smoked Turkey or ham hocks but they are good ANY way you cook them!! So good for you too!! Black eyed peas too!!
I haven’t met a kale that I like yet. So bitter. I would love to try post frost to see if it matters to me.
1st video and subscribed. Just what I need.
I had to bring my greens in because we got down to 12°F last night. Now I have a gallon bag each of
blue scotch kale
lacinato kale
beet greens
Collards
Kohlrabi greens
Broccoli leaves
Swiss chard
I am worried I am eating too many greens with the meds I am on but I am not sure how best to preserve all this before it is wasted. I have a lot of powdered kale and swiss chard left from last year that I sneak into other people's food. If I freeze it whole will it still make a good pot of greens?
👋 Hi from New Mexico👵🌶️🌵 Enjoyed your video. Your driveway is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.💖
Wat kind of trees will you plant? Everything looks great.
Now thats a nice mess of greens!
Now I got to go get some greens.
Looking good, an idea you have your olive tree!? You can plant in your knew drive way, just a thought.
This 66 year old Indiana Gramma has NEVER had that meal! To me it looks like canned spinich? I had that stuff when Mom made me..Yucky..LOL
I need to get out more!
Are you planning to can some of your green's? Also can you freeze dry them for the future?
Have a blessed evening, stay safe and healthy 🙏👍♥️🙏🇺🇸🙏
I love collard greens. Yum!
I had turnip green from grandpa's garden when I was a kid I loved them. I haven't had collards but I wish I could have some lol
PS, your Garden's are beautiful
In the spring Dandelions start to grow in Maine. In a few weeks they're big enough to harvest just before they blossom. I wonder if the Turnip greens taste the same. Next time I'm in Walmart I'll get some green's, & broth, to see how they taste. I'm going to cook my Dandelions this spring in broth. Usually we cook salt pork, & butter with them. I like dandelions with vinegar drizzled on top.
You can eat all the greens, soup beans & cornbread to last a lifetime and I would be happy for you….as long as I never have to! I had to eat that growing up or we didn't have anything to eat. I love me some spinach and wilted lettuce, but that's it! Your garden looks great and my favorite vegetable is carrots too! I love the different varieties you've planted.
Was that a candle under a shelf at the beginning of the video?? Be careful.
You got me hankering for turnip greens and cornbread now. My mama used to cook like that for us kids. Never learned to cook greens myself. Have tried the canned ones, not so good 😓 so thanks for this video
I just want to thank you for sharing your way of cooking greens in the chicken broth. Oh my goodness it’s delicious. My husband picked us a big “mess” and I decided to try the chicken broth instead of fatback grease, which is how both of us grew up eating greens. We are in our 60’s. This just proves that it’s never to late learn new ways of doing things. Thanks again! ♥️
Beautiful garden. That sure is a lot of greens. Crazy how cold it can be, and it still grows. Are you growing Brussel sprouts?
As Always GREAT CONTENT. Can’t wait to get me some land ❤
Thank you both for introducing me to a healthier way to cook greens. My husband and i really enjoyed the mustard, spinach, and kale I cooked up 😊
