Watch What We Do With The 1st HUGE Harvest From The Fall Garden!

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.

I have to say I am a 60 year old grandma with severe ptsd. I have horrendous nightmares all night and watching your channel when I wake up is a godsend. Your optimism & smooth talking helps so much to divert and lift my thoughts & calm down when I wake up. You, your family, the animals, everything is a blessing for me each day. Your dancing !!

After my mom passed away in 1994 I came home one day and found a note written on the back of an envelope from my dad. It said, turnup greens are in the small refrigerator! I knew that meant I needed to clean the greens. Cook them and bake a pan of cornbread for dinner. Most Dads do not write that many notes to their daughter and I treasure that hand written note. I’m so glad that Mom taught me how to cook cornbread and greens.❤😊

Jason, I’m convinced that you are the Bob Ross of gardening. ❤❤❤ thank you for educating us all and sharing your sweet family with the world. I want to start my own cute little farm now!!!

[MitzaCreek]

Wow! I am blown away a) at how far you’ve brought this property. And b) that others are still actively growing when we’re covered in snow. 😂 I can’t wait for Jason’s gardening videos to come back in full swing. I’ve enjoyed the building, but missed the growing.

The best thing about Cog Hill and other families who are videotaping their daily chores and cooking is you are teaching this generation and new generations of people vital information that has been lost and unknown. It's interesting how so many people rushed to go to live in cities and to get a college education in order to have a good paying job. Now, they are returning to their roots or making new roots for a simpler life. A life full of hard physical work - no gym required.

My husband bought us a big bag of spinach and said there ain't no way the two of us can eat that much ! So I had him watch me saut`e it up and he was amazed how little that huge bag made after cookin it up. Lol

While you were putting the cornbread on the bowl of greens, I was just thinking, "Where's your beans???" and then
Brooke handed you a bowl. Heaven from the garden <3

You Brooke and MaryCarl are amazing. I have been watching several homesteads and out of them all I am blown away at what your family has accomplished. The garden is beautiful well done. I feel sorry for Brooke with no cabinet doors yet, and that person who left you hanging with the railing. But none of that stop your family. The drive way is really pretty and so nice.

[agrammie]

Mr. Greg Rocks for sure😎 Jason my mouth is watering looking at that magnificent garden 🤤 I just can’t believe how much y’all got done in a such short amount of time, God Bless y’all‼️

I don't know if I've ever caught any video this soon after it was posted! 7 minutes old and it says 458 views, lol. Happy to be here! I simply adore your family and your critters.

I think when Jason was harvesting in the garden, and just talking quietly in stream of consciousness, where it kind of blurs whether he's talking to himself or us, it achieved a similar kind of peacefulness that I get from watching Bob Ross paint his happy little trees.

It's so nice you have that cement driveway and the sod, non muddy areas you can use to get into the house without tracking in the dirt . 🙂

[juneweaver]

What a joy getting to see you guys cooking in your new kitchen. Gave me the warm fuzzies ❤

[nancyfahey]

My parrot had some raw, frozen collard greens this morning. He did his usual happy dance when getting frozen Kale or collards. Let me add that his brother didn't like cruciferous veggys and he passed away with a tumor on his neck. I found the paperwork on them and they hatched out in 2004. I can't believe it's been 18 years.

I grew up eating greens. Mom usually served greens, cornbread and ham. That's a great Southern meal. My father was from North Carolina and he always put some apple cider vinegar on his greens, I do that too but my mom and sister don't. My mom always put about a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in the greens as they cooked because her mother told her it makes them less bitter. Your meal looked good and your garden is awesome.

Thank you Jason, Brooke, Mary Carl, and all the animals for brightening my days! 😊❤️

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!
