I haven't said it in a while, so: I deeply appreciate the thought, time, planning, and effort you put into making these grow videos a start-to-finish in one video. It is so much clearer for beginners to gardening, or even just to a particular plant, to see the whole process before they start. It's so important to know where they're headed and what they'll need at their own planning stage, before they even buy seeds or starts. Plus it's just plain fun and interesting to watch even if a person already knows - we can always pick up tips and ideas from your very successful garden! Thank you.
I eat the green parts, they're delicious and are tender when cooked thoroughly. They're great in soup, crock pot recipes and stir fries.
Thanks for the tips!
I eat the greens too. I like to rub them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and roast them. They are like a leek chips.
@@HollisNancysHomestead Dry the green leaves. Grind into powder. Add to everything. Leek powder is tasty and very expensive. Great video thanks for the information.
I cut the whole leek down to the roots and saute then in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. They come out great and can be used with many dishes.
The white parts are good too. I make a turmeric leak chicken recipe from I heart umomi, and the greens and white are both really good
Beautiful couple, bless the Lord!
Thank you so much!
I eat the green parts. They are delicious!!
Me too!
Yes they are!
Right?! We waste nothing around here. We even eat carrot tops. 💜
Yeah it was really weird to hear that being said! I’ve grown up eating them too especially in leek and potato soup....
Hi how often do you water?
You guys make some of our most looked forward to videos. God has blessed us by directing us to your channel and we are grateful. Have a Blessed Day !
Wow, thank you!
God bless you two Love your videos and Glory goes to God in all things!!
Thank you so much!
The green part is the best part! Leek and potato soup would not be the same without the green part.
We eat the lower end of the green part before it gets too tough. That’s why I cleaned and processed it the way I did👍
Just found your site and I love it, so much good information and a Christian couple too❤️
10:15 awwwww..... Bing Bing all snuggled up!
Watching your video are so peaceful. ☺️ Calms me. Thank you for the amazing content.
I'm so glad!
I been watching a long time since back when you lived up north and I love your channel and I rarely feel compelled to disagree with you but I am so shocked you would tell people that the tops of leeks of leeks are not edible. The tops are not only edible but delicious when you know how to prepare them, and not only that they have much more nutrition and antioxidant properties than the white part. The tops sliced thin and added to soup is my favorite way to eat them, I actually buy leeks for the tops! I do like the white part too but the tops have the best flavor for me. Fiber is another reason to eat those tops! They are NOT TOUGH when cooked properly in soups and they add a flavor that can only come from those tops. I hope you will try it some time.
I eat the tops , love them
I use them in making broth
Man, the music that played when you planted your leeks was rockin good!! Love to watch y’all plant and harvest such beautiful crops! Bing Bing is tooo cute!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Thanks 👍
Love rock'n roll!
Wow I'm so happy just watching You harvesting Leeks. !!!
Thank you for your Faith, Love, and this beautiful video!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching! Have a peaceful weekend
Thank You for your great video’s! I learned a lot from You.
I want to give a small tip:
Where i live, we eat a lot of Leeks. When we plant them in the soil, we don’t compress the soil around it, we just make a whole, put it in it and leave it open. The weather and watering compacts it a bit after. Why we Do this, is because Then there is less dirt in the wite part of the Leeks after we harvest them. You can also plant them less deep, and put sort of a plastic tube around it, like drainage tubes, that prevents the sun also and No dirt at all! This is also easyer when growing them in (less deep) containers. Toilet roles Are also Good, But They break down easy in rain or whatering.
I hope I don’t come over as annoying, just wanted to share this tip with you, Since i learned a lot from You!
Greetz Ann
Thanks for the great tips!! We all learn from each other❤️
This year I used a planting board for carrots similar to what you use for planting some of your vegetables. I had never seen or read about planting in this manner until I saw your videos. Thank you so very much for the idea - it worked well. I made the holes through gardening fabric and had very little to no weeds with about a 99% germination rate. Thanking God in your videos is refreshing.
Bless you both for sharing your knowledge. I am learning so much from your videos. Tomorrow morning I will be sowing my leeks. I am glad I watched this as I would have just put them in the ground without factoring in the depth they need to be.
Those tough leaves make a wonderful addition to a stock pot. Try freezing a few with the odds and ends veg you want to use for soup and when you have a nice collection of vegetables, the end of a tomahawk steak or the leftover carcass of a roast chicken, stick it all into the slow cooker overnight. Strain the broth and enjoy.
Next year I'll my onions and leeks will rock. This year not so much. I started mine from seed. They've been in the garden for 2months and look like the ones you ordered and started with.! I'm always learning.
You two definitely brighten my day! Y’all exude the kindness and the love of the Lord! I just love watching your videos. It’s amazing how God can use a video on vegetables(😜) to remind one of his love and goodness! Thanks Hollis & Nancy! Blessings from California!
Ally Jones
God bless you Ally❤️
Nancy your hair has really grown long since I last saw you , Very nice and thick. I have never eaten leeks but onions is my choice .
Bing in the golf cart is so precious! Great info. Thanks HN!
It sure is!
Love leeks
Leek and potatoe soup is the best!
You have a wonderful garden... I like to take the Leek tops and dehydrate them to make a "green onion" powder... the amount you have will be way too many, but the power is excellent as a seasoning. There are also many middle eastern dishes that use the tops... indeed they are very fibrous.... Thanks for the video! 😊😊
Thanks for the tips!
The green is delicious too! Fry it with carrot, it is my favourite 😍
Leeks are some of my favorite vegetable. I use all of the plant, the tough outer leaves are not eatable, but they still carry the delicate leek flavor, so I wash them real good and throw them in a grab bag into the freezer and use 6 or more when making stock or even just boiled beef/chicken, than disregard. The lower whitish and more delicate green parts I slice into 1-2” pc and sautéed until tender (add a little water if needed), season with salt, pepper and fresh nutmeg, thicken with cornstarch. This makes a delicious side dish for pork shops, serve w/salted potatoes. You need 3-4 stalks for 2-3 people. I also regrow new leeks from the roots, just sets a little water until new shoots come up, 4-6 days, than replant
beautiful...we eat all of green parts..nothing gets wasted in European kitchen😀
Yes, you are right
Exactly! No waste around here either. We even eat carrot tops. 💜
Related Video - made stir fry with the leeks :-) Delicious 😋😋😋

Bless you and your Family.
I always have great success planting my leeks from seed! It's very quick and simple. I use the white part, but also a little bit of the green when making soups. If you saute it in with the onions, celery, and garlic, it gets tender and delicious! (Not the very top that's dark green.) I did chop some leeks and run them through my freeze dryer this year. They turned out awesome! I can use them all winter. I love your channel, and enjoy learning new things from you and your wife. (And, I've been gardening for decades, lol!) Thank you so much for all of the great information that you share. God bless you both!
Watching you and Miss Nancy, Hollis, is really giving me confidence. Thank you!
Hey Hollis an Nancy als2 Bing. Bing love watching ur videos in the mornings while having my coffee don't have a garden but maybe grow in buckets. God bless u an family. be safe old Tennessee dude hey I will be 68 yrs old the 20th of april
Love that!
I love leeks but they're so expensive! I decided that I wanted to grow my own...once I could find out how to do it. Thank you so much for teaching me with your video. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching you and Nancy working together and your encouraging instructions--with those instructions and a lot of help from God, I think I can do it. I also want to echo Ke Le's comments of 10 months ago--because you showed the entire process of growing leeks, from start to finish as well as your "onion template" and leek feeding tips--all in one video--you've given me the confidence to try.
I use a larger diameter dowel and I just place the leeks in the hole and fill it with water and I do not back fill, it leaves room for expansion and then after 6 weeks I hill it up then put tube collars around them a few weeks before harvest to block the light so we get a super long white part. I have a long season leek you plant in April and begin to harvest in December and into the following spring. In Zone 8 Oregon
Loved this! Good info and such a sweet couple. Love the way he looks over at her when they're standing together and he's explaining. Bing Bing, the dog is adorable! But especially when they are fresh, if you cut the top 3 in of green off and sautee the rest of the Green top with a lot of water and some salt, it does get nice and soft and very edible!
I love leek and potato soup, I have to grow some leeks next year because I eat so much of the soup.
Your a awesome teacher and I was wondering how to grow leeks. Thank you 😊
Wasn't burying mine deep enough. Thank you for the tutorial
You’re welcome 😊
Rosa is the one that turned me onto leeks. Seems the are almost a staple crop
in the UK. (where she's from) Roast veg is a very common side, Leeks, Parsnips,
Potatoes, etc, oiled and seasoned and baked in the oven on a sheet tray....Yummm!
I saw the title and almost did a dance. I saw in your last onion video, side dress with
blood meal once established. So brief though, had to watch it twice. Was wondering
if you'd do the same with the Leeks and BINGO! It all came together. Leaf growth.
Balanced soil, boost of bone meal for root growth, when established Blood meal.
Allium's, leaf growth equals girth. Almost 100% germination on our Garlic. About
500 Onion starts, 4 dozen Leeks, doing great under lights in the house. Can't wait!!
TYFS Guys, Mark and Rosa
I always cut the root end off and put in ground or water to regrow another round. And have found freezing those long stems all Julianned helps. I use in leek potato soup or stir fries. Works awesome
Great tip!
Yes Hollis, y'all bring joy, peace and happiness to my heart. Thank you.
I bought 3 leeks for $4.00 and they seem to be alive after like a month in the fridge, cutting and using them. They seem like very resilient plants, and similar to green onion which I have found to be easy to regrow. I will try to regrow the leek roots into a new leek plant.
How did that go for you?
@@chrisz.9974 It didn't work. They shot up strong after I took them out of the refrigerator and put them in water, but they died after I transplant them to soil.
I just learned I’m growing leeks
Now I want to grow some leeks. As always really enjoy your video’s. God bless y’all
Thank you! You too!
Ive been watching you guys for a few years now and your the only garden youtuber I trust. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Love you guys!
Wow, thank you!
Use those green tops in your soups for flavor, then discard to your compost pile - they really add a great flavor in most soups.
You guys really know how to grow. I have been so busy and cannot grow like this. I can see how much patience and time you spend on each and every seedling. Ben from Australia.big hug and pat on the back.
Your soil is looking great. Getting darker with organic material. Black Cow is great manure, I've been using it here in New Jersey since 1990. Bing Bing is living the life!
You are my go to video for all my gardening. Greatly appreciate learning from you !
Thanks for sharing this amazing video! 😇
Thank you for the scripture at the end of the video. Some days that's all the scripture I get.
Good morning Nancy and Hollis... i have been seeing a lot of gardens lately and people's techniques for onions and they would be so happy if they knew to ring them in and uncover half their globe tops when they're big and ready! Now i just find myself bellowing "ring them in!". I love you guys work and appreciate your videos, I hope your day is good. Florida has been tricky this last three weeks with hot cold fluctuations and sporadic rain, i hope you haven't had any hassle! Hi to Bing Bing ✌ and the family.
Been rough of our peppers and tomatoes. They’re trying to make a come back. The cool spring has been very good for our potatoes. 👍
I use the green parts of leeks when i make bone broth. If i am not going to use them in what i am cooking at the time, then i save them in a zip lock in the freezer with celery tops and ham bones etc. When i have enough saved, i dump it all into a stock pot and cook everything down. If you don’t want the vegetable bits in your stock you can strain them out with the bones, but a lot of times i just leave them in. I also use the green tops of leeks in soups. They aren’t tough at all if they simmer for an hour or more and they add excellent flavor and color.
Bing Bing always supervising
You both are a true blessing to all of us! I’m growing leeks this year for the first time. God bless ✝️❤️
Wonderful!
Thank you for blessing me with your kind spirit! I love your channel.
It's a good vegetable to add to my noodles. Also good with potato soup or any soup really. Like onions but more mild.
Thanks so much. I never had leeks before this week. I bought some for my son to use in a recipe. We decided we like them and will regrow some from the grocery store. I really love all of your seed-to-harvest videos!
You are so welcome!
Yes, I am trying the same thing, I will regrow store bought ones. The leeks are expensive, $4.00 for 3 leeks.
Just discovered your videos--am very excited to get started!
Welcome to the family ❤️❤️🐶
I am growing Lancelot leeks right now! Mine been in the ground since mid December I believe.
Would always love to see what Nancy makes with these vegetables : )
I use the same leeks as I do in my green onion cooking video. Enjoy
@@HollisNancysHomestead Thank you : )
I love watching you guys work together, you are so blessed...
Teamwork makes the job easier especially now that we are getting older
I would love to live on a acreage like you and grow what I eat. Get food back to the way God made it without all the changes and chemicals. But not in the cards do I’ll live through your videos. God bless you, Nancy and Bing Bing.
I love the taste of leeks so this will be my first year growing them. Thank you for all the good tips to help us have a great harvest too.
Our pleasure!
Your produce is amazing Hollis!!! Those are beautiful. I never seen a fresh leek harvested. beautiful leeks!
Thank you so much!
I use the green parts. I dry them and use it in my cooking like an onion.
Great idea!
AWESOME VIDEO!🌻🌞🌻
Thank you very much, I will try to grow leeks next year.
They are very tasty 👍
Thanks very much for the video. Really enjoyed it, and found it very informative.
👍
Thank you for the guidance on planting leeks (the plant depth). I love them.
You are so welcome!
I Love to make Leek & potato soap with homemade chicken broth on a cool day. You two stay safe.
Sounds great!
Good video thx for sharing good content Be safe God Bless
Thanks 👍
Potato leek soup is so delicious. I'm growing leeks in my garden now. Thanks for the tips, I'm going to give them more fertilizer and build the dirt up a couple of inches this weekend.
Sounds great!
Green Dreams with Peter in Tampa has a ton of Florida loving vegetables , forgot to mention it. They are awesome as well down here.
Your leeks look great! I love them, never have grown them though. I like the shots of Nancy’s flowers💖Thanks for the video
We eat leak tops in soups. I also dehydrate them to add to soups off-season.
Such a great video , super helpful , thank you Hollis and Nancy !
I LOVE Dixondale Farms! I've only ever done my onions through them, but now I'm thinking of getting some leeks. LOL Thanks for sharing this info! ~ Stephanie
Hope you enjoy
Thanks for sharing!!! I love your videos because it's from beginning to harvest.
❤️
Leeks are very popular in Italian cooking. Thank you. God bless you
Thank you! You too!
Hey hollis and Nancy, I ordered Texas super sweet onions from Dixon Dale and they took off! Your leeks looked great!
Nice choice. They are a delicious variety of onions!
I've been using Black Kow for decades with great success.
One tip though, you run the risk of fungus gnats taking over the bag if it has a punture and you let the bag sit for too long.
That’s good information to know, thanks for sharing ❤️
Good video. That one thumbs down person is swimming in ocean all by itself... Thanks again !
No worries
Just love y’all so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Y’all jumped over me from VA to FLA. NC getting my grow on!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Our pleasure!
Awesome gardening techniques. Definitely, learned a lot!
I use black Kow because of you
I can't wait to try growing Leeks! Thanks for this video! You two do such a great job. I'd love to see one about growing snap peas if you have time. God Bless!
Will do!!
We eat the entire leek. Even the green. It isn’t tough when in a soup. Doesn’t bother us a bit.
Lancelot Leeks sounds like Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. Also you can use the green tops for making stock.
Hello. Always love your videos. great information you share. Love leek
Glad you like them!
I just planted leeks today, now I have to go pull them and plant them deeper!
Could just slip some toilet paper tubes down over them. The depth basically
is for blanching the shaft. Keeps the shaft white, by blocking direct sunlight. That's what I do. Works. also paper towel and wrapping paper tubes.
Good Luck in your garden. 😊
Just mound them up
Thank you for the info about the planting depth!
You are so welcome!
I like "Lancelot" as well, leeks are very popular in European cooking too.
So neat and organized
Thank you 😊
Oh, no. You can stir fry them with flat rice noodles. Juian the tops about 1 cm thick (cut accross) then tir fry until they are almost soft. Soak some flat rice noodles with hot water until soft, then pour out the water. Stir fry the soaked noodles with low flame and soy salt, add in a little sugar and salt to taste. Mix in the leek and let them cook under low flame until the noodles is ready to eat. This dish is so good.
Cool deal
Thanks for watching. I haven’t heard from you in a while. Looks like you changed the name of your CZcams channel. 👍
@@HollisNancysHomestead Yeah total break I’ll be putting up some more videos you guys do a great job
Yay!
Another great video! Would love to see Nancy's Leek Recipe!!!! I loved the Jalapeno Poppers!
will have to try leaks. thank you. amen
Hope you enjoy
Amen! Great video, I just subbed.
