Would you be able to give us a little video on watering during winter? I know they don't need as much but when we have rain and such its kind of hard. I'm in zone 8A and make notes in my Garden notebook for the seasons. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and am praying for a prosperous New Year, God Bless you and your family.
Does anyone know if a hoop house like the ones used in this video (or possibly one that is modified) will keep out raccoons and squirrels?
So what you're telling me is the hot pepper seeds that started too late for me last spring that were still seeding sized because I never transplanted them, I should have done a better job of taking them inside before frost to keep them alive over the winter.
You look so darn cute 😍.
Thanks as always@ so helping us with your tips.
In 4b, we have a while. 😂 But love the information you share!!
Ok I need to know the dirt/soil you buy to top off your beds. Besides compost and vitamins and other ingredients
Merry Christmas to you & yours. Always love your videos & your sense of humor. Really makes it enjoyable.
You always have great info to share. I love your delivery of your content. You are great about staying on subject.
I am watching the heck out of your videos! I think my 15 year garden game is going to really level up! My biggest problem right now is lazy seeding leading to overcrowding and then poor growth…! I'm trying to break that habit!
For unground seeds, in MA/CT area, do you wanter them throughout winter or just leave it up to snow/rain, until season begins?
I'm in zone 9b, but our winters are nothing like you guys in the East we experience cool winters with our high temperature for weeks on the middle/high 50s even though we do not freeze is quite challenging for the veggies to grow a fast pace, that's why we do have a wide window for the brassicas to mature in the spring if we plant as late as last week of January that being said, my brassicas seedlings still under my grow lights untill January 20th.
I love your videos.😊
The fact that you can grow root vegetables in sub-freezing temperatures with just a little hoop house is mind-blowing! 😲
Thank you, I hope my chile, peppers, do better this year.
Im in between Winston Salem and Greensboro
8:38 – @TheMillennialGardener D'Hiver is French for "(in) winter"–pronounced, roughly, "DEE-VEHR".
❤ thank you …enjoying learning about growing year around. Trying some new things this winter .
@TheMillennialGardener – Your video a few weeks back about the coming winter looks spot on. This weather model shows the polar vortex causing cold that lines up with the blizzard of 1978. Everyone needs to prepare for extreme cold the 2nd week of January. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBwq0w3XF7c
Have you seen or able to get long beans? They are really long. I live close to you, @ New Bern. Thanks for help
The best gardening video! Thanks.
Love the sweater! 😊
14:42 does that say COON?
Thank you so much! Awesome video! ❤😊
Rouge D'hiver = ROOZH de vehr. It's French. Just type it into Google Translate!
We started going crazy with planting in our front yard 🤪 https://youtu.be/XLM6lB1r4fA?si=xbWqVrcTk4Q3l1G3
Thanks for the great info! Happy New Year!!
You are such a great resource. Thanks for all you are teaching us. ❤
winner of ugly sweater contest right there 🙂
This was great! However, I do have a question…. If I start my transplants in January when are they ready for harvest? Late spring before summer?
