[Applause] hello welcome to Yellow door Urban Homestead I am Asian and I’m a Urban Gardener growing in small space in my Backyard so today we’re harvesting some of the Fall veggies also this video is being recorded the same day as my last video we all know I love my home and garden Trend stool so we got this always going to be a link down in the bio or description for this stool like it’s

Definitely one of those things I did not know I needed until I got it I’ve been working with Home and Garden TRS for quite some time now there’s a link with a um discount code down at the bottom if you are interested and guess what I’m

Going to get to use my H Hy someone sent me this a while ago um and I haven’t gotten a lot of use out of it but we’re going to harvest this broccoli head and I’m going to use my Hy hor super excited we have a few baskets we probably won’t

Need them all but there’s a lot of leafy greens that needs to be harvested and so we’re going to harvest this and then I’m going to do some workout here cuz it’s a decent day now like it’s warmed up a little bit um and so I’m going to do the

Work that I need to do out here today to um get my garden back together we going to go ahead and Harvest this guy this is that broccoli that I keep talking about and I’m so excited so you’re definitely going to want to go in on a slant that way it’s

Not as slanted as I would have liked it but that way the water runs off but look how pretty it’s beautiful I’m so excited and so with broccoli plants you can leave the plant once you’ve harvested the head and then on the sides like right here you see that that’s a

Broccoli shoe you’ll get more broccoli it won’t be as big as the head of course but it’ll be extra food that you can eat it’ll be more like um you know the size of like a broccoli broccolini or like a broccoli Rob but listen we eat those and

So essentially that’s more food for you I always leave my broccoli plants so now we’re going to move to like all of the leafy greens we got a lot of leafy greens to to harvest and so we’re gonna go ahead and move to those and I always talk talk about cut and

Come again and so basically all I’m gonna do is pull the outer leaves off we’re going to harvest those but we’re going to leave the actual plant and you can cut them I just kind of break them all you can use you know some shears or something and then I’ll leave like this

Many leaves the smaller ones they’ll get bigger and then they’ll keep growing from the middle as Well you want to make sure you harvest as close to the stem as you can that way the plant can heal and like when moisture comes it doesn’t just sit on it so again it’s a good idea to cut them I do sometimes sometimes I

Don’t and I don’t mind mixed greens so I don’t keep them separated I put them all in the basket when I take them in the house I preserve them all the same put them in the same trays or bags however I do it and and we eat

Them anything that is not good for eating when I go through to clean them I bring them back outside to the chickens we’re going to take some of this beautiful purple kale it’s so pretty purple is my favorite color I’ve said that a million times it’s so pretty and I don’t leave a

Lot you just need enough leaves for to photosynthesize and then you’ll come back out here one day and we’ll be harvesting from this bed again all right we’re going to move on to this next bed get our basket and move right on through that one had broke Leaf is still good though

I do think I’ll keep the cabbage Collard separate and maybe cook them tonight I never had them before so I am interested to see how they taste I’m I’ll get another basket and keep them separate how big those leaves are it’s pretty awesome I think it’s so

Awesome you can literally grow all of this food from one little seed one little seed y’all it’s awesome there’s beets in this bed but we all know I’m not good at growing beets so they probably ain’t doing much of nothing and so all of these plants are

Very cold hearty which means like they can go down to low temperatures like I said we’ve been in the 20s already this season and um these plants are still growing let me grab another another basket for these see cabbage collards had never heard of them either and the way I preserve my greens

Basically I just most times I’ll say that’s a weed let’s get that out of there most times I blanch them and then I put them in some ice cold water so that they can stop cooking and then I freeze them um that’s pretty much the way that I do

It not really sure what my chickens are doing Americana is starting it she’s always starting something she Michael Jackson I’m G to be starting something that’s her let’s move along we’re moving on to the collards is over here and they’re just regular collars so I’m not going to try to keep

Them separate um I kind of want to do some of the Cabbage leaves but and I might I’m not going to do it right now cuz these will be preserved so we may have some of the Cabbage leaves with dinner and if that’s the case I’ll just

Come out here and get them when I’m ready to cook dinner but someone had asked um you know is it better to pull the plant and replant them I think it works either way how whatever your preference is I don’t want to replant right now cuz it’s cold so for

Me I’m not going to do that but I think it works either way whatever works whatever works for you in your garden that’s the way I that’s the way I see it okay very nice very nice got to get on that other side also broccoli leaves

Are edible um I’m not a super fan of them so I don’t Harvest them cuz I’m not a super fan of them but they are edible and you can eat them so we’re going to go ahead and harvest harest the kabi right here get something to like look at the roots of that

Kabi how crazy is that that’s a lot of roots but we’re going to cut the bottom off before we put it in the basket but it’s a lot of roots also while you see now I decided to uh start pulling them out cuz ain’t no

Way I’m just going to drop them back in the bed cuz they can Decay oh a worm always like that like to see worms in the garden good for the soil good to help break it down too so I’m going to go ahead and cut the bottom off of that

I’m still going to leave it of course in the garden it can Decay over winter but it’ll be on the top if I need to pull it out um if I need to pull it out when it’s time to plant for spring but look at that ain’t it beautiful it’s

Beautiful go ahead and get the other one and over the next few days we will be making corabi fries now we’re going to go ahead and harvest this one we couldn’t get to this uh collar that we couldn’t get to few minutes ago because I decided not to take down my infrastructure this

Year go ahead and harvest that so they say the smaller leaves they say the smaller leaves are sweeter I don’t know but I even take them when they’re small now that I’m doing all of this harvesting I’ll go back through like I said when I’m done and start to

Fertilize um give them you know some energy back to continue to continue to grow we’re going to move on over to another bed look at all of that y’all look now we going to get these collards over here all right get these little guys and these

Are in a shaded space those shaded still growing uh because fall vegetables don’t need as much sun is spring vegetables and summer vegetables they will still grow for you and this area like I said is very shaded they’re much taller than the ones that are in the bed because

They’re reaching for Sun and I’m okay with that as long as they grow don’t have to be the prettiest just needs to grow they’re very skinny I won’t deny it this one is probably shaded more than any of them that are are over here but it’s still kind of fragile too cuz they’re

Skinny but still got some still got some food out of there so with Swiss chard the older leaves don’t fare well in very cold temperatures so when I know it’s going to be cold and I’m not sick the Swiss chart I definitely try to come and get the older leaves

But Swiss chard can be preserved just like uh collards and kale so we can take them in the house the ones that look a little limp and put them in some water and sometimes they will come back and be more uh you know the texture will be right but like see

That was a older leaf and the the cold just took it out ooo they pluck my nerves y’all oh they pluck my nerves so bad sometime get down oh they pluck my nerves so bad sometime like you got everything you need in there why do you keep getting up

There just why do you do it okay so I think we need another basket the other one is kind of full we going to go ahead and harvest the uh purple kale at the back of this bed too we just gonna hop this everything today

And then I have a whole evening of of preserving and clean d by the way those strawberries I still have them because I got sick so if you message me we have this thing we say at work we say bring it back up in my email if you messaged me and I didn’t

Get back to you can you message me again um because when I got sick I posted it so people would know I wouldn’t be posting and then my inbox like filled up so I can’t find those messages so if you are still interested in the strawberry plants let me know cuz I do

Still have them all right let’s get to harvesting and I will say it’s better to to cut them cuz then you don’t like tear down the Plant cuz that can happen it’ll like the leaf will keep going and tear like down the stem then the stem has to heal itself

But we all know me we we all know Me okay now I think the only thing we have left to harvest is um is the turnips uh we have a turnup at least two turnips at least that we need to harvest real quick and then we’ll be done with harvesting for for this Harvest but we

Got a lot of good stuff we got a lot of good stuff all right let’s see here so right here is where I said I thought it was rudaba but it’s turnips see a it’s a tiny one but it’s edible yeah nice here goes another one

Small one but the small ones I like the taste of the small ones too so yeah turn up nice grab this one it’s a white one it’s kind of small it’s also oh it’s cracked probably should have harvested it a while ago but we’ll see what we can do with

It that the the handle of that basket’s broke but but I still use it look at that I pretty darn excited y’all I am pretty darn excited that’s my first leak Harvest and look at that all of that stuff and some leaks so I hope you enjoyed this video
