what you're doing dig in a hole it's not the best one probably what's that
plant we got from the souk in ljubljana which plant it's the jalapeno plants is
welcome to the garden you saw us planting the kale and pepper we're going to check
on those in just a little bit what i'm here to do today is collect our zucchini flowers
and we want the male flowers so these are the ones that are on the long stems as so
we're going to eat these we want to leave some for pollination but they also suck a
lot of energy from the plants so we don't need all of them how many flowers you want to eat
i'm not hungry this one yeah it's female really uh-huh if we go over here we have some male ones
which one like this one that come out just like a flower so this one won't give us a zucchini no
of course these females give us a new life
we got a little bouquet thank you baby now let's take a tour of the rest of the garden this garden
was planned by andrea's mom every slovenian has a garden of different sizes and organization
here we have strawberries way out of season they're gone brussels sprouts i believe are going
to be coming out of these kohlrabi big kohlrabi right here it's like a turnip radish thing
cucumber this cucumber doesn't look too well huh no it's not so big huh no i mean the leaves
no it's still producing though every slovenian loves to grow beans you can see these bean pools
everywhere and they're already starting to make little flat string beans here so
what happened to these beans the deer ate these beans we can see how tall the deer is
up to here here we have bush beans they're going to be coming in soon too i believe i think that's
a green pinot these beans all the same no big difference come see our tomatoes one two three
and they're just starting to get a little red down there hopefully more coming in soon it's
it's august we're still waiting on our tomatoes here here's the kale plant we planted it's getting
lots of leaves they'll grow all through the winter massive cucumber plants here i mean
whoa what are you gonna do with all these cucumbers we're gonna eat them you have so many
and i'm sure there's more in this forest i'm not gonna go in there now eggplant this is eggplant
still waiting on the eggplant to come we got the flowers that's a good start and our broccoli just
started coming along as well so that'll be a nice set of broccoli if the deer doesn't eat it
another kale plant we planted but it i constantly have to pick the
cucumbers from invading it they want to cover it and i say no
this cucumber is very spiky i don't like them so the deer cannot eat them here i think your mom
planted some more things radishes maybe i think it's too late for radishes no she bought that
packet of seeds and they look like they're planted in a row here so i think these are something
sprouting i think this is some other form of kale she brings all these mystery plants in here
there were potatoes here there's still some there we'll show them but most
most were taken spinach still looking healthy okay yeah cucumber invading again used to be a herbs
garlic onion jalapeno plant i planted and fennel this is the jalapeno plant we planted a while ago
it's growing but no flowers on there yet oh what is that ah that could be a jalapeno coming maybe
here is some parsley we got from hofer the slovenia and aldi they'll keep us
having tasty food and another slovenian staple potatoes you're not going to find
a slovenian garden without potatoes they love them wild poppies here and andrea could
show you what to do with these i've never seen it before andrea show me your trick
watch andrea's trick they're beautiful and show us what's how do you open them
they have holes they have holes and they just come out like that like little poppy shakers
i never seen this before it came to slovenia and she eats them is it healthy
my great-grandma used to have big like this so now i'm looking for big puppy plants if somebody know
like this hat yeah but big that would be big like this imagine how many poppy seeds
yeah south planted what is this without it's parsley
i don't think it's parsley i don't think it's celery it's something like lenovo
or something like that tastes like celery looks like parsley and i think these are
purple kohlrabi coming in again something andrea's mom planted i'm not quite sure what it's doing
here you can see our zucchinis or summer squash growing in
i'm gonna go grab a couple more of those flowers huh yeah this is rhubarb
yeah and this is a sad looking rhubarb it's grown quite a bit actually it was
not looking so hot but it's got some new leaves there i think this is a weed take it out
you have to grab by the roots i know it didn't come out
because you didn't grab it by the roots look show us how it's turned
okay okay miss gardener no i don't eat rhubarb rhubarbs not my favorite food
you eat it smells like poop don't eat it no it's like dry but if you would take like
young ones you can eat them like this you peel them and then you chew chew on them it's like
super uh healthy summer snacks super juicy i made a rhubarb smoothie one time is bad
yeah but now we're going to do a recipe huh one of these days well then you could just leave them
in the garden what i don't understand you have to do it now oh i could put them in the refrigerator
eat them tomorrow okay that's our tour of the garden hope you enjoyed it what do you
