Thank you guys for doing this channel. I love gardening, cooking and preserving food but sometimes I get a little tired and discouraged because it can be a lot of work. I can just come to your channel and watch a couple of videos and it is so encouraging and energizing. So again thank you, your content is extremely helpful and informative, and somehow peaceful and relaxing at the same time.🙂

We're so glad to hear that! But sorry that your garden has been discouraging lately. Maybe try growing some of these staple crops since they're so hands-off that you pretty much just have to plant and harvest :)

This nerdy data is great! For us who strive to produce food that substantially feeds us through the year, these details of area and quantities, plus nutritional values, are essential information. But I am stunned that you only used 15 lbs of potatoes!! You could eat those in 2 weeks. And they truly are a crop you could live on, if all else failed. Minimal preparation required, endless recipes, great value humble spuds.

My parents use the potatoes more often than us so they brought home a lot more. The flour corn plus dry beans combo is a really filling and relatively easy to prepare staple too 🙂

I live for your content, and I'm here for maximizing harvests while minimizing time. My two favorite crops for this style of gardening are black-eyed peas and sweet potatoes. Both are so prolific and very low maintenance

So glad you're enjoying it! And yea those are two excellent staples to grow. Unfortunately we're too far North for either to really thrive, but Silvan's dad has been growing black-eyed peas down in North Carolina for a long time and they always do so well in that heat

I love this channel so much, its always so wonderful to see everything you both make

Bunch'a weirdos not weighing their harvest😂 Love your humor. I highly appreciate your videos! Happy gardening!

Fellow data nerd here: yeah I do the same thing, everything harvested is weighted and kept in a spreadsheet. 2 months is impressive! I've only managed to grow 17 days worth of calories so far (a lot fewer calorie dense staples and more fresh stuff). Greetings from Germany 👋

Show us the spreadsheets! I love a good spreadsheet almost as much as I love a good pumpkin. Excited for Ethan's channel. Such beautiful music.

What a great pianist!

The piano was a nice surprise at the end. My baby and I enjoyed it!

Could you do a video of how you manage a plot in a community garden? The tasks and varieties for success. For instance, how do you ensure even water/irrigation when you are not there as often as a backyard garden?

You're a beautiful couple with such lovely values, very inspiring! Love from the UK 🇬🇧

What a fine bit of calculation I enjoyed your fact giving very much. Your corn and beans looked like gems in those jars. The squash was just beautiful. You will be so pleased to have your memories on video when you are older. Have fun in your garden. I will be pulling my carrots from the hot bed tomorrow. Time to freeze dry some and pickle some. A friend gave me some thumbelina carrot seeds to plant next. All goodness and sunshine to you.

My wife and I are working towards something like this. Keep up the amazing work yall 💜💙💜💙💜

The calories in winter squash can be quite variable because the dry matter content can vary from about 5%-30% can calories from about 20-100 kcal/100g, often higher in calories than potatoes. And that doesn't even include the seeds, which are typically around 400-600kcal/100g when dry (also delicious, high in fat protein and so much more). The usda nutrition facts for winter squash are for bland watery mass produced squash. The highest calorie squash from the hundreds of tables I've looked at from researchgate and pubmed tend to be sweet dry storage heirlooms such as siminole pumpkins, buttercup squash and some specialty varieties of common squash bred to be smaller and sweeter. I also often test dry matter myself, and i find a lot of variation. I think your calorie estimate for winter squash could have been only half of what it actually was.

Your year in review is amazing! What an awesome growing season, cannot wait to see the numbers for this year, especially with all your chickpeas :)

This was a very interesting and informative video. I’ve only done a house garden, but my life is changing and we are going to buy farm property in Florida. So I will be growing some staple crops. Until your video, I really did not realize how easy they are to grow.

You inspired us to plant three sisters beds at our community garden plots. The corn is going strong, everything else is struggling in the heat, and due to lack of watering. I hope to get an automatic watering system in place by next year.

@HomegrownHandgathered

Cool! Hopefully the beans and squash get find their footing soon. The corn’s roots can get as deep as 6 feet into the soil at maturity so as it gets deeper it can start to pull deep water that can help the beans and squash.

Great video guys! Wonderful to see what you did! Thanks

Thank you! If you want fully mature storage quality potatoes, just wait until the plant dies all the way back and then dig them up, but if you want to pull up some tender “new potatoes” you can pull them after they flower
