Hell’s Kitchen Chef’s May Garden Tour — Tomatoes, Peppers, and What’s About to Hit the Plate

A Hell’s Kitchen chef walks you through his May homestead garden — tomatoes, peppers, beans, and squash all coming in strong, plus a visit with the chickens who are about to get more bug protein than they know what to do with. I’m Chef Jonathan Boyd — executive chef, Hell’s Kitchen alumni, and homesteader in Mississippi. This is Deep South Foodies, where everything we cook starts in the garden. May is when the homestead really comes alive — tomatoes are setting fruit, the pepper plants are heavy, the squash is going wild, and the chickens are demanding their share of whatever bugs we pull off the plants. Walk the garden with me. See what’s growing. And stick around for the part where my drone made an unscheduled visit with the ceiling fan. 🌱 WHAT’S GROWING IN THE GARDEN THIS MAY → Heirloom tomatoes coming into peak set → Jalapeño, habanero, Tabasco, and banana peppers → Pole beans climbing strong → Yellow squash and zucchini hitting heavy production → Plus the chickens — and the bug economy on the homestead 🌿 WHY THIS GARDEN MATTERS Everything you see in this video is the foundation for what gets cooked on Deep South Foodies. The peppers are about to become hot sauce, salsa, and pickled jars for the pantry. The tomatoes will be canned, sauced, and turned into the base of dozens of Southern dishes. The chickens are part of a closed-loop system that turns garden pests into fresh eggs. This is what farm-to-table actually looks like when a chef builds his own supply chain.
