Trying to find my lane among yall good gardeners. My grandad use to store them this way.

Thanks. Nothing like fresh harvested cabbage. My daughter cooked 2 last night. Delicious! 10 more to go. I’m learning so much from watching all of you.

You have been with me for my whole "2 Months" LOL... I so appreciate you all for taking time out of your day to see what I have uploaded. You make this a truly amazing experience and I am humbled. 🙏

Nothing like fresh veggies from the garden but yeah. She can purchase a few and not have to worry about them going bad for at least a month or 2. Give her a hug from me with my Al Green blasting in the garden.

Just remember, if you are storing for long term don't cut into the cabbage. It will lose most it's vitamin C and not last as long. It makes even more sense when you are growing your own cabbage. Nothing goes to waste.

Thank you for that reminder! 😊❤️🌱

Thank you very much and even more so for recognizing the editing. My 2nd season gardening and still learning so I tend to lean on the few editing skills to make the content a bit interesting. Thanks for the encouragement.

It is absolutely my pleasure. Thank you for stopping by.

You are always so kind with your comments. My Granddad use to say, “My blessings come from what I can do for others and not for what others can do for me”. I really feel blessed to be able to share most of the things I am just discovering myself. I learn from all of you and my question is always, “Is there another approach or another way to deliver the idea”. That’s Growing Out The Box and I am humbled.

Beautiful Sunday morning to you Mrs. Queen and your comment would be one of my blessing for the day. "Growing Out The Box" is not just about gardening, it's more about being open to seeing things in a different way. When you say "New information to you" we all share in the harvest. 🙏

@@growingoutthebox Well continue to share that knowledge - those of us who enjoy learning will continue to watch 👀🙏🏼

I call it Sunday morning blessings. My Grandad use to store his like this. Just dusting off the memory because I didn't see any videos on long term storage. Thanks as always for you support.

It's funny. I'm looking at the smile on your profile picture and I can imagine hearing your voice in the comment. The emoji helps also. lol. Your thoughts are appreciated. Oh, I almost forgot..... I hope you are subscribed.

Glad it was helpful!

I'm always trying to bring something interesting along with so camera work. I really appreciate you stopping by. I saw you in the live this morning. Let's stay connected.

@@growingoutthebox most definitely will stay connected 😊I’ve already joined your channel and looking for to more content 👍🏾

@@MsTwiththeTea1980 likewise

Something my Grandpa use to do. I harvested some of my cabbage and I know we can't eat them all fast enough. Our elders had so much information. I'm glad I was my Grandpa's shadow back then. Beautiful Sunday Morning. 🙏

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to watch. Question: Do collards taste or texture change when they start bolting? This is my second season gardening so I’m still learning.

@@growingoutthebox check this out , I just came across this so this was my first time glowing Collards as well so I might try as well!! Enjoy

Just planted 12 more cabbage so storage is a must! Looks like we may be clear from the extreme cold after tonight. Eggplants going outside tomorrow so I have my fingers crossed. Thanks for watching.

New family here ❣️so nice to meet you

Think about it?…. People take cabbage from table scraps that have been sitting on the grocery store shelves, place them in water and it grows from weeks out of its normal growing habitat. We are putting it back in a cold environment, the wet paper towel is the water source and the crisper along with the perforated bag gives it fresh air circulation and a continuous water source from condensation. The cabbage is actually still living. We have given it a life line. I’m sure it can be done with most brassicas. 🤓

Dusting off some of my Grandpa's old tricks now that I am trying to become a gardener. Blessed Sunday morning to you.🙏

Awesome! Thank you!

Absolutely my pleasure

Thank you Lisa for leaving a comment. That really helps for the video to be shared to others. I hope you come back soon. Better yet, I hope you’ve subscribed and clicked the notification 🔔. 🫣

Glad you enjoyed it. Down south soul food.

Thank you for the ❤️

I really appreciate you stopping by

I was a Grandpa's shadow growing up. lol, Can;t say that I knew what he was doing but I was always watching. I'm just dusting some of the ideas off and researching the "Why" and this is what I'm coming up with. Thanks for giving the channel a chance.

@@growingoutthebox a

Much respect to teachers. I definitely don’t qualify. I just enjoy sharing what I do in the garden. I learn by the questions asked and honored that one would ask me 🥹

Thank you. Still figuring out the direction of the channel so your feedback always help.

Putting my lil twist on gardening.

Let me know how long you keep yours once you get it done?

@@growingoutthebox Will do!They been in there since Sunday!

Thanks for taking time out of your day to watch. When you have a minute, check out some of my other content. I would appreciate your thoughts.

I’m glad I found you as well. Thanks for visiting.

Thank you. I subbed to you a few months back when I had like 100 subs. Thanks for all the support and I will be dropping in on you as well. Be blessed.

Thanks for your thoughts.

That’s how we grow together Lisa. 🌱

That's right. Same concept. Basically keeping it alive.

Absolutely my pleasure. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Great tips. Thanks for the idea

You betcha

Glad it helped!

You are so welcome

Thanks for watching. I hope this helps with your search and it works.

I always cut the stalks off longer to be able to wrap the rubber ban around. Thanks for watching. I really do appreciate it. I was in your live yesterday. Great start. 👍🏽

Ok i will make sure the stalks are longer before wrapping them, yes i remember, thank you for coming over i appreciate you🙏💕

Thank you for growing with me. I am really enjoying the journey and your thoughts are appreciated.

@@growingoutthebox I'm happy to know this because my thought's are nature bound. You are on a good and strong road Brother, Please stay on it, it will save your life..... Blessings to you and yours!

@@jamesfrankland4436 I absolutely agree! If I’ve learned nothing over the past 2 years of Covid. “How unprepared I was”…. I’m working on that. Be blessed.

lol…. My channel is called “Growing Out The Box” not just because I have raised beds. To your point. It’s also about having an open mind in doing things different. I have a family of 4 so succession planting 45 day cabbage is how I grow them for all the reasons you mentioned. I actually enjoyed your commentary. I watch lots of gardeners and I try to center my content not so much around the way they grow but around what I personally feel is missing. I’ve only had my channel for a few months and that approach I believe is contributing to the channel’s growth. Also, presentation. There are far more women gardeners than men so my intent is to be aesthetically inspiring as well as informative and if you look at any of my videos you’ll see that I reply to everyone with more than a thank you. Not sure how long I can do that as the channel grows but it is my intent. With that said, I hope you have found my content more useful than not and decided to not just subscribe but click the notification bell. I’m still growing and I’m sure I could learn a thing or 2 from you as well. Be blessed

Thank you Jackie for stopping by. I hope you hit that notification bell. I just uploaded a new short today.

I'm glad this was of use to you. Please share and thanks for your comment.

Thank you watching. I hope it helps.

Gonna do some this way & freeze the rest...🥂

That’s how I do.

Thanks for checking out my other content. I really appreciate that.

It absolutely does! When storing the cabbage long term just don't cut into it. Once you cut into it - it will lose most it's vitamin C and reduce the shelf life.

Now that just makes my day. Thank you so much. Kind words cost us nothing yet they can sometimes change another’s life. 🙏🏽 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zql-lpZe2tjTYmQ.html

You are so welcome.

Yeah…. We love some cabbage 🥬 over here too. I started doing this because I grow my cabbage and like to eat it fresh. I hope you hit that notification bell 🛎️

Thank you. I had to figure out what to do with all the cabbage harvested at once. I suppose I didn’t learn because I have over 20 red acre cabbage growing and yet to plant the early cabbage. They mature at different times. The garden has expanded. Looking forward to the season.

@@growingoutthebox I can’t wait to see the garden. We are getting a lot of wind rain and snow in SoCal Right now

You're welcome. I really appreciate the support.

As I get closer to having the footprint of the garden where I want it I really want to get into canning. But yes, I have 2 freezers full of the things I grow. I started growing because of Covid. I promised myself that I would never be in a position where I don't know where or how I would provide food for my family. It let me know just how unprepared I really was. To much is given much is required. A lot of people turn to me when things go wrong. I fix things! It may not be the orthodox way of doing it but I make things work. This garden turned out not only to be a fix for 2020.... For the first time I came to terms with needing to fix myself. That's why I call this channel, "Growing Out The Box". In building the people around me to believe in no limits I had created a ceiling for myself. Humility.... "To much is given, much is required".

@@growingoutthebox That's a great self revelation Blessings to You and your family

I’ve never had issues in my crisper drawer but depending on how long it’s going to be stored that may not be a bad idea.

@@growingoutthebox Thanks

Thank you for your technique

I don't freeze it. Just put it in the chiller for fresh cabbage

No. Your Crisper is cool and should circulate air which helps keep the cabbage alive.

Yes, clean off the older/outer leaves and store. 👍🏽
