Hi love. A couple tips I learned about leaks. They usually have dirt between every layer. So I usually cut them in pieces and then soak them in a bowl of water. The dirt soaks to the bottom of the bowl and the leak pieces float to the top, nice and clean. Then you can easily dehydrate.
Second, I just cut off the bottoms of leaks and compost or toss them. Washing off too much mud in the sink will eventually lead to a clog in your sink. Same with coffee grounds, unfortunately. Nobody wants that plumbing bill. If you want to keep the bottoms, soak them in a bowl of water again and then do a second rinse under the water in your sink. I always water my indoor plants with the bowl of left over mud water, but you could also just toss it outside in the garden. I hope this helps! Love your channel.
Took the words right out of my mouth! I usually find it easiest to slice the leek in half lengthwise and then slice the leeks. It makes the layers easy to separate in the water to get to all that dirt without removing the leaves...more leeks for you and not the compost 😀
Ahhhhh thank you very much for the tips! I appreciate it very much!
I grew Honey Nut Squash, and we LOVE them! It is a cross between a Butternut and Acorn Squash. They are small, almost personal size. They are sweet and make a great 'pumpkin' pie.
That sounds delicious
is another name Lodi Squash? I bought some from a Whole Foods and roasted them like Acorn Squash; nothing but oil and cinnamon. They taste like a pumpkin pie...so delicious...saved some seeds to plant ☺
@bk8mom I've never heard it called anything but Honeynut Squash.
This year I'll be growing 12 more variety of tomatoes, 20 more varieties of peppers & some winter squash. Happy growing Asia💚🌱
This was my first year growing at my new home. I am learning the land and space. My biggest take away is safeguarding my plants from the wildlife. The deer ate well. This was not my intention. So I am going to grow everything again, but I need to be smarter about how. The thing I was most surprised by was the cucumbers. We got a great yield.
If you don't like to eat winter squash as a veg you can make cake out of it or jam with lime 🍋 That's delicious 😉 Happy New Year 🎆 and all the best for 2024 🎊
This was my first year growing in our new space. I learned a lot. My big takeaway is to better protect my plants from the wildlife. I previously grew in an urban area and so going to a semi-rural place was a change. I want to grow more this year. I just want to see what I can do.
If you cut off the leek bottom and plant you get new leek. My beds are covered so my soil is not frozen. I have been doing this for couple years. Good way to grow onions ( from bottoms) and leeks. Some will let them grow roots little by placing water. I just place in ground and they grow. Also do with with celery as well. Be sure take outer layer and cut in half as another viewer said. Sometimes there is dirt in between layers. Thanks for video.
Love watching you preserve leeks. I plan to add leeks to my 2024 gardens. I've never grown them before.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Asia! I received my luffa seeds in the mail today. I really appreciate it! Sincerely, Wanda
My favorite thing that I grew was Pineapple Tomato. We were pleasantly surprised at the color and amazing flavor. What I am going to try this year and just spoke to my hubby last night about it....Luffa. He and my son love using luffa that they buy for the shower...so why not grow it over one of these cattle panels. Side Note: Harvesting celery for dehydrating today with my grandkids. Found out they love celery!
In SC. I was very excited that my Angel Trumpet bloomed like crazy!
My 2 blueberry 🫐 bushes, 2 grape 🍇 vines, sweet peppers 🌶️, & eggplants 🍆 showed out in 2023! I’m eager to try; onions 🧅, shallots, & carrots 🥕.
I watch you all day most days… I love your down to earth honesty.. you recommended the Vevor Vacuum Sealer .. mine arrived today! Thank you Asia
my favorite thing this year was pole beans, they were so good and abundant. My first time growing them.
my favorite things i grew where fennel romenesa and some pepo pumpkins where so cute and enjoyed eating and cooking with them as id never tried them before
My favorite thing was my golden zucchini, delicious
Still need to try that!
I love everything about you your channel. Learning how to do things in a urban setting is rarely covered. The little snippets into your garden lifestyle, good and bad, let's me know I can at least try because I have seen it done in your videos. Thank you for sharing and Happy New Year.
My favorite is chocolate mint. Love drinking tea from that. Also, armenian cucumber. All the actual cucumbers that we grow are always bitter. Ground cherries gave fruit in over a month of 100+ degree temps.
I thank god,and you for being so real on your channel.I feell like starting my new year off right by following you.your amazing,and so helpful to gardners like me.
Hi 👋🏾! Welcome to the channel! Awwww thank you for the support. I really appreciate it.
Growing luffa sounds good. I do want to give it a try. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Wow. I heard about Luffa. That’s pretty cool. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Your quails are so sweet 😊 you can be excited about growing quail.... 2 years ago I discovered China Jade cucumber, definitely a favorite
Would love to see dishes you make with foods you grow
I just love your videos. Action packed. Thanks for sharing.
I just found your channel about a month ago. I love it. So true to you. My first season. I screwed up royally but I’m working to actually get a few more veggies besides 7 cucumbers. 😂 I would like to buy your luffa seeds if you have any left. I enjoy your garden. I started growing on my patio. Trying to expand.
Best pour some baking soda and vingar in that sink.Let it sit for 30 minutes or more .And let the HOT water run for a few minutes. I watched one youtuber who said she clogged her sink up from washing soil from the vegetables. I am going to do more medicinal plants.I will do more peas and beans this year. I just plant what I eat. Got to plant more celery( I'm not a celery eater either) .For some reason I pulled mine up by mistake. I guess I thought it was weeds.I didn't have stalks but the top leaves.Im so mad with myself. Ugh
Just found you Asia -happy new year!l I binge watched you last night and today -- love you and your garden, chicks and quail. I used to have a huge community garden but have to scale back (getting old lol) I still love growing lots of basil (4 kinds) in among my flowers. Try thai basil -so good. My friend Patty has my community garden now and she brings me tomatoes and rhubarb. I won't be growing tomatoes in the home yard -cuz the chipmunks eat them all boo hoo. Happiest gardening in 2024! Keep sharing all your talents on your youtube site - I love it.
I want to try growing sweet potatoes this year. I love eating the leaves. They are a flavor like spinach and artichoke. The potatoes will be nice to have as well. I won’t be growing pumpkins because they take up too much space, I would rather have butternut and spaghetti squashes. Also trying more heirloom varieties to add variety. Thanks for your videos 😃
Hey Asia! I will not be growing brussell sprouts anymore. I've tried 3 times, and all times were a fail. I will be trying the delicata squash again; as soon as it is possible😊. I will also be growing collard and mustard greens again, and another variety of watermelon. I'm still deciding if I want to grow onions again, but I do know that I can't wait to start gardening! Chris from Canada💝
When you harvest the leeks peel off one or two outer layer leaves ( I think you overdid it in the vlog ) ,then cut the leek in half lengthwise and wash off the dirt that may be in between the layered leaves. I normally use the white and yellowish portion of the leeks pnly.
Ok thank you! I appreciate the tips!
Thank you so much for continuing to update us even during the winter!
Hey Asia. Happy new year 🎊 ❤😊I forgot to say I started my garden late last year so didn’t really get to experience the summer garden, so much that I won’t be growing. My cauliflower and broccoli are finally heading up so I’m super excited about that. I’m planning my spring and summer garden now. Happy gardening ❤😊
Hey 👋🏾! Happy New Year! O ok, I gotcha. Yay, that’s exciting, congrats!
Hey Asia happy new year's we made it, friend 😊 I never ate and bought leeks. I definitely want to try the potato and leeks soup. I ❤️ love soup of any kind from scratch, and you're getting very popular. I was watching a broke farm, and he was doing a podcast with other CZcamss, and he mentioned you and was telling everyone to go and subscribe on your channel he told David to crop another CZcams that you grow beautiful Squash
Respect what you did
Happy New Year!!!! I am proud of my Collards, Kale and Cabbage. I don't think I will grow summer Squash again. I don't like it anyway. Family and friends do. very small garden space.
Sorry Happy New Year Hope you have healthy and pleasant New Year 2024.
I'm so glad I found your channel! My husband and I moved from Mass to VB in late spring, early summer last year (feels so weird to say that already) and so, the coming season will be my first full here. So getting to see when and what you plant will be an inspiration and big help.
I spent last year to get to know the outdoors here, so my garden didn't really do super well, I was late with much and that put a damper on things. But, it was a learning process, and I am SO ready for the coming season.
I don't have anything I won't plant, I am space restricted, so I will have to consider what we eat more than other things before I fully decide what to plant this coming season.
Thank you for sharing!
2024 I am excited to do chicken and hopefully quails.
Leeks are delicious 👍🏼 we're growing them for the first time this year as well. Happy New Year 🎆 and all the best for 2024 🎊
Homestead Heart was selling Cushaw Squash Seeds... Ill be planting them soon!❤
I’m checking them out now! So new to canning and preserving.
Sweet potatoes and peaches
and im going to make surer the flowers i grow have the supports they need , coz my gosh i grew poppys and zinnia they got so high and beautiful but when the winds come , its destroys them so il think where i plant more thius year , but as for not growing something passion fruit vine is for me too as it was hard enough to germinate never mind keep it healthy , so nope thats gone x il try some other climbers tho
I got inspired by your kohlrabi. I’m gonna try it next year. I grew up eating cushaw. My mama made it sweet and I loved it. I’ve grown it successfully but the vine borers get to my plants sometimes🤯🤯.
What your doing is such a blessing. Thank you for allowing Our Father to use you to make this look do-able. I'm going to give it a try!
I'm in zone 7a.
Thank you, I appreciate that very much! You’re welcome!
Hi Asia! I plan to follow the other station too. "Happy New Year!" I'm going to try pumpkin and corn. I am originally from Indiana moved to WA zone 8 and now 40+ years later here in Florida for the 3rd year coming up! I'm in zone 9 a or b ? "we do get frost here in north Florida. Oh and putting in ice cream bananas "cold hardy". I want to try growing the luffa. Interesting!
Happy New Year! My favorite thing I grew in 23 were my herbs! They did sooo good. I don’t think I’ll be growing corn again.
I may try to grow loofah!
Thank you and continue being a blessing to us with your knowledge of the garden. Thank u and god bless.
Happy New Year to you and your family, Asia!🎉
I love growing leeks. My daughter love them when they are huge😄.
I wish I could grow, luffa, but I dont have the space for them. 😢
And I never had fried broccoli. Very interesting. 😊
As always, thanks for sharing!😊
Hi Aisia, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!
I'm not a big Winter Squash eater either....but it looks amazing :), so like you, I may grow one. I did grow pumpkin and don't like pumpkin..go figure...I just give it to people.
Forward upward onward together 🇧🇸
Happy New Year! 🎉
Jealous of your luffa 😊 I tried luffa this year but my season wasn't long enough, even starting it super early indoors. Oh well.
I like growing the smaller spaghetti squash - very prolific. I'd like to try honey nut squash too.
Speaking of growing celery, they take a long time to get going, and then can be planted out while it's still cool, so I'm starting and celery w my onions pretty soon. Along w petunias, pansies, coleus and geraniums (my plan for January seed starting ) 😁🌱
Yaaaaay!!!! Hey!!!!!! Been waiting on ya !!!!! Hope you had an enjoyable time off with family!!!
Happy New Year! Now I'm thinking that I should grow loofah. 😉
When I saw that you had uploaded, I was like Yeaaa. I love your channel and love the family setting that you show. It's really fun watching your videos and seeing your garden grow. You are such an inspiration to watch, and I am subbing to your vlog channel.💖 I've wanted to grow luffa and will definitely be growing it this year.
Happy New Year. My favorite thing I grew this year was tomatillo. And my salsa Verde. Thanks for sharing
Happy New Year! Nice! I want to try them again as well. First time I tried only one plant made it. You’re welcome!
I’m going to try cushaw, celery, and loofa too. I might try to grow my own flock of chicken or quail too, but not sure if I’m willing to spend the money on an enclosure yet. I’m not sure what I won’t grow, but I know I won’t be growing very many watermelon this year.
Happy New Year! I just love your videos! - Taryn
You are amazing!
Happy new year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR ❤
Happy 2024!!!! I'll be growing figs this year.
Happy New Year! Awesome, good luck! I want to add a fig tree to my garden
I think I’m going to try loofah this year.
The loofah looks like a lot of fun to grow. How much room do you need to grow loofah you said it needs a trellis. I’m glad you guys liked your potato leek soup and happy new year to you also. Kathy.
They are! I have one full cattle panel trellis that I use to grow them. It was delicious!
Happy New Year. I am over trying to grow corn. Trying winter sowing this year.
Happy New Year Asia and Family
Happy New Year, Asia! The new things that I will be growing are tomatoes 🍅 and green beans! 😊
Thanks for sharing. I remember you talking about your luffa not growing then it took off. I may try some fried broccoli, never had it fried before. Oh, yeah do you have kitchen scissors? They make cutting leeks & green onions stems so much easier.😊
Happy New Year ❤your channel thanks for all that you share 😊
I’m going to try growing some melons. I was so excited about growing differently flowers from seed🤩
Happy new year love the video
Happy New Year Asia!! This year I grew sweet potatoes for the first time and had a moderately good harvest. I just had some of the ones from my garden with my Christmas dinner and they were delicious! My other favorite was that I finally was able to get a harvest from my black raspberry plants. I bought them three years ago as dry root plants and didn't know what I needed to do to get them to produce raspberries. In 2022 I found some videos on CZcams that taught me how to prune them and this year I got my first delicious crop. I've already pruned them this fall as well as started some new plants from the canes and am looking forward to a 2024 bumper crop!
Happy New Year's Asia🎉
Not growing eggplant...am growing more romas, and dwarg varieties.
1st year I only got vines, 2nd year luffa formed just as the cooler weather was coming and it killed the vine and few babies, so I know this 3rd is going to be my successful year.😂 Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing ❤😊
New subscriber! Love your channel!!
Gonna try growing cucumbers..my favorite item I grew was bok choy
Try Unagi F1 variety very prolific, doesn't turn bitter and produces female flowers only which equals lots of cucumbers
@@JilisheGarden4021 Thank you soooo much newbie here💜
@@vessel4thefatherYou are welcome. If you are interested, I got my seeds from Johnny's seeds, expensive but they are worth it, start with no more than 2 plants, I did that and one time harvested 15 cucumbers measuring about 12 inches each!!
Hi Asia Happy New Year.
I am playing with Pawpaw seeds I gathered during the summer. So many people didn’t know they are local here. Recently I found Prickly Pears! Feeling very Bear-necessities.
O cool! I have a coworker who’s doing the same! I did not know that! Thanks for the info. That’s awesome. Do you forage?
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead yes I’m learning mushrooms, spices and what grows around me. I find walking very therapeutic and got curious about “can I eat that?” Now it’s mixed with “what can I grow to harvest?” Heading out to Forest Hill park today. I have found so many edible mushrooms there.
I got both channels, Happy New Year
Thank you! 🤗 Happy New Year!
🖐🏽 Hi Asia, I emailed you about the Lufah seeds. I hope you have some left. I really love your YT and IG stories. You are greatly appreciated!
Plan grow same but less varieties less amounts of tomatoes, cucumber, melons, onions, garlic, ginger, spinach, kale, beans ,corn, potatoes and some others ( collards, mustards and cabbage let what I have keep). Oh winter squash differently . I still have blueberries, grapes (5 vines) , fruit trees ( apple, peach, pear, plum, persimmon, and fig) along with blackberries and elderberries to care for. I do not want get overwhelmed. Want keep joy and fun in the experience especially around summer. Lately I set up irrigation system that did wonders last year for me.
Question do you have any problems with hose freezing during winter ? I am in zone 7b now ( Maryland) just want be careful during winter of leaving it attached to spout. Plan use it during morning try catch rain water if can. I disconnected rain water from down sprout did not want problems. Sorry so long. Take care thanks again.
Thank you for processing the loofa sponges on the video. I would love to try and grow some in 2024. How can I get so.e seeds from you?
Sweeeeeet ✊🏾😎
Happy New Year! I don't use Instagram so I'm asking here if you can share some of your luffa seeds with me. I have never tried it so it would be a first for me.
Cincinnati ☺️👋🏿❤️🖤❤️🖤
Elderberries
I haven’t had any luck with kohlrabi. This is my third year 😱
O no, I’m sorry to hear that. Sending good vibes on your next try! Are they not bulbing?
So how did your New Year's go?
George Davis
It went well! Spent it at home with my daughter watching movies and eating junk food lol. How was your New Year’s?
I had a decent Christmas but I decided to just call it quits for New Year's and go to bed at a decent time.

@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead
Thank you for showing the removal of the loofah skin. Is loofah an edible plant? If so, have you fixed any dishes with it?
You’re welcome! Yes, it is edible when it is young. I tried it once and was not a fan. It’s a bit bitter to me. I think I tried it sautéed. Maybe a different recipe would have been better.
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead Ms. Asia, are you still giving away loofah seeds? If so, do you have an email address where we can discuss the process of me acquiring them? If you’re charging for them, how much are they?
Hey, lady. Are your indoor quails loud? I want to keep five indoors but I don't want to disrupt my family's lives. Happy 2024!
❤
I will send you some cushaw seeds
Ok, thanks Broke!
Happy new year 🎉love your videos ...where can I find your email address for some of those loofah seeds ...I'm going to be planting leeks for the first time not sure what I'm doing but still go try 😂😂😂
Happy new year! My email address is msasiaspratley@yahoo.com. Nice! I did the same and it worked out 🤣🤣
I'd love some luffa seeds I just learned something new thanks to you ! Btw figured I'd comment n ask if you for real I'll take some seeds never seen those before learn something new everyday plus be cool gift for my mom for sponges for dishes I'm like no way I gotta try this! I'm mikmaq from Canada Nova Scotia if your able to send me some I can give you one of my emails I have a couple :) I stayed up all night and during the morning|afternoon I watched some of your videos and I just wanted to tell you how cool of a woman you are and that your doing an awesome job keep up the good work ! I'm all about the marijuana but I wanna get into gardening more as I was taught at a young age how to do it you inspire me to atleast try it soon as a hobbie! Thanks for being awesome !
If you cut the broccoli head will more grow in it's place? I have never tried to grow it but I want to. Thank you 💜
Yes, the side shoots will produce more broccoli.
Thank you so much. I'm going to try this.
No, you’ll only get one head but most varieties do produce side shoots. They aren’t as big as the head but they are edible.
Happy New Year!! How many luffa plants did you plant? Did you transplant them in native soil or potting mix?
Happy New Year! I had two plants. I planted them in a no dig area but I do believe the roots probably made it to the native soil.
Thank you!
Hello I was wondering if I can get a couple of those seeds. I’ll pay, just let me know. I rather support a home gardener. Let me know
