Thank you for such great info
I have gardened for about 55 years and have had bell peppers continue to grow and produce 4 years here in South Louisiana. I have 5 raised beds and one is for carrots. Two years ago they grew as long as from my wrist to my elbow and so sweet that I canned 16 pints and several quarts. I let 5 big ones go to seed. The flower looks very much like the Elderberrys that grow as a hedge along the fence. Have you ever grown Ginger. I planted some organic tubers and the bloomed beautifully but now all the leaf stalks have turned brown. I will get out there tomorrow to dig it before the winter weather arrives in the 3rd of January. It will be only the 2nd winter day here in south Louisiana as it has only been 33 one 12 hour stretch. I am sure that is why I can grow pineapples. Wishing you a prosperous New year.
I’m planning my spring garden and I have a question for you. I’m going to build my raised beds 4×8 twelve inches deep. How should I lay them according to the sun? I’m in NM
Google search 🔦 High Country Community Health (Newland NC) in west North Carolina.Big! Shoutout to Patara for the daily updates and the easy of the hyper-links for the Hurricane Relief. Plugged a donation to both at the end of the month at-period another will be sent. The relief will take years.
Good to know that Newland NC is a ‘hub’ for the ‘spoke’ to give to the locals that truly need it. Boots 👢 on the ground is the best and most affective way . Need to watch her latest . She needs to get some matching boots to go with that Cousin Eddie/Russian looking winter hat 😅 from Buc-ee's
I’m in Fayetteville so a lot of this is for me. But I’m a beginner so it will be a process.
Always great videos
Up here in Oregon, our parsley just won't quit! It has gone to seed each year for the past couple years since I planted it, but the parent plant is still kicking. Not only that, but now we have several mature volunteers that grew this year, plus about 300000 seedlings that sprouted over the last couple weeks that I'm smothering in compost right now 😂
The problem is the light gets so low, so short, that these plants will survive, but not grow.
just commenting to say i love seeing growers that are in my hometown now (I have since moved to the west coast) keep growing!!
I had parsley survive two weeks of zero and below zero (at night) uncovered next to my pole barn last winter.
I grow here in my grow tunnel bloomsdale longstanding spinach has been -30 outside an no heat in grow tunnel an it survives till spring
Culantro is a good summer substitute for cilantro. It does best in the shade. Taste just like cilantro. It’s better to buy a plant thats ready. When the seed stalks grow you just keep cutting them off and the plant continues to grow.
I live in zone 9b and I’ve had the same parsley plant for 3 years now. It’s an Italian leaf.
For colder climates, you will need a stronger hoop tunnel due to snow loads. I use wire bent in a U shape supported by stakes and cover them.
Parsley selfseeded in my garden and grew like a bush. I left it in whenI saw Parsley Caterpillars feeding on them, which turn into swallowtail butterflies. I cut them down in the fall to get ready to redo some becs. We've had rain and snow… and they are growing again.
I have never been able to germinate cilantro.
Do you have a link to all these seeds talked about in this video?
Question please I hope you see this. I planted my garlic 3 weeks ago (zone 6 PA) and the temps have been unusually warm and my garlic had started growing 😳 will they die now when it gets back to normal temps and winter really kicks in freezing? Or can I just cut down the green stalks to the ground and hope for the best? TIA
Thank you !! You reminded me I need to start my winter planting.
Where can I find frost coverings locally? Lowe’s nor Home Depot have them in stock. They say they have not received any in their Falk/Winter inventory. I do not care to buy online. I like to see what I am buying up close.
Hi there. Thank you for all the great videos. How do you like to mulch your fall crops and winter crops especially when you are doing succession planting and planting regular?. Thank you so much.
HELLO FROM UPSTATE SC, I SIGNED UP TO BE A MEMBER, DO YOU SHOW US AS ONE?
What varieties of carrots did you grow ? I'm in zone 7b. Wondering what varieties of carrots and beets can be started from seed in mid-october here?
GREAT INFORMATION, THANKS. QUESTION, HOW DOES THE MEMBERSHIP WORK, WE SIGNED UP A MONTH AGO AND HAVEN'T NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT, I'M SURE I'M DOING SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE ADVISE.
Thank you for another great video & all the helpful information!
What about az
Not happening here in winterland… 🇨🇦 🍁 ❄☃️❄⛄❄
The soil is rock-hard and frozen. We plant outside on or after Victoria day, around the 3rd week in May. We also harvest earlier here, and our Thanksgiving holiday is the 2nd Monday of October, which concludes our growing season. By then the prairies might already be covered in snow.
Will the onions be okay if it snows in February?
Thanks 😊
I have a question for you: this spring and summer, I'm going to be growing some tiger melons and kajari melons. There's room in my greenhouse for one of them, but the other will have to go in my regular garden. I live in Southeastern michigan. Which one should go in the greenhouse and which one in the garden? The one in the greenhouse will also grow on a trellis while the one in the garden won't.
❤
I'm definitely going to try this hoop structure of yours and I only made it to the end of the his video because I was blown away from the first topic that forced me to rage watch until the end. Carrots seeds do not " basically get washed away" when it rains" they can be sown indoors infact they can grown in a sunny window over the winter. Also they are tiny seeds but you can plant them deeper than say a basil seed because the germanation process of a root vegetable is one that holds it's place in the soil firmly. Your problem is (I think) that your growing in a mulchy chunky soil and carrot seedlings need a finer soil to latch on to. I want to tell you that your info about the carrots is stated with confidence and no basis in truth what so ever. If we want the YouTube garden community to be respected for factual information then it's got to be factual. I promise I can tell you exactly how to grow them carrots if you get rid of the stupid pice of wood lol thank you for reading. Now I am going to make a hoop structure
Very good and informative. Thank you so much.
Frist time Gardner I planned all my onions and garlic in November I am also zone 8 b in California did I plant them to early and I have been cutting down the tops. Please help am I going to loose them. Also do you still water them every morning
I live in 8b in PNW. I planted my garlic in October for the first time. I planted both hard and soft neck so far so good.
12/29/23 Can I plant kale and collards now? I have an unheated greenhouse, 6×8. I live near Sunset Beach on the mainland, NC.
How do you keep weeds out of your beds?
Thanks for all the support given in 2023.
All the best to you and your family for the year 2024.
God Bless You!!!!
I'm sorry for the ignorance. Can I sow the seeds of bunching onions and leek directly, or do you mean I can start them indoors now, then transplant?
