We are in cold weather now, so the summer crops are long gone. We still have quite a few things growing though. Many things can tolerate quite a bit of cold weather. Other things can last a lot longer with a little protection. In this video, I will show you what we still have growing, and how I plan to keep some of it growing for a while. I’ll also show you the 6 types of garlic that I planted in the middle of October. Even though we are past the midway point of November, I plan to have a few things to harvest this month, and even next month. For the past week, we have had weather that has been in the 30s and 40s during the day, and in the 20s and high teens at night. A few things that we still have surrounded by the straw bales include Tatsoy, Baby Bok Choy, Chinese winter cabbage, Chijimisai, Kale, Spinach, and a few other things. Let us know if you planted a fall garden. Thanks for watching!

I have collards mostly growing outdoors but I have some stuff growing indoors too mostly peppers that were still growing in November outdoors and one tomato that was still growing in October. I brought them in and let them acclimate. I have a mini okra too that’s growing.
Wow!
Amazing what a bit of plastic can do!!! Makes me feel less alone seeing others gardens covered in "moisture" and "insulation"😂😂😂
We just harvested our daikon radish last week before the temperatures really dipped. the long daikon varieties are so useful for loosening heavy soils, and they grow incredibly fast making them great for fall crops here in the prairies where our fall season isn't as long as others. I do have to water them a bit in dry seasons. They're great for preparing a bed for carrots or potatoes the following year.
We also had chard, cilantro, carrots, parsley, and common radishes until the temp dropped to 10F. I covered all of these a few times in the past few weeks.
I always love to see your garden updates. It inspires me going into my first winter gardening. I gave cabbages, cauliflower, mustard and collard greens, turnips, radishes, garlic, carrots and onions.
Nice yield on your fall garden! Thank you for the turnip recommendation as I do like them. Not much growing here as I had planned travel this fall. With low 20s already, I would have lost things in my cold frame anyway. Amazing how virulent cilantro and parsley can be.
Awesome. Winter vegetables are incredibly tasty—I love them. Good to see your garden going well. Cheer!
Beautiful turnips!!! I love turnips in a pot of greens We've had our first cold spell. It was 60 degrees yesterday and today it is 65 degrees for a low and 73 degrees as a high. Now I know why people move to Florida lol. Your garden is looking really good for the weather you are having. I hope your covering helps. USPS very slow, haven't gotten my pepper seeds yet. Can't wait to get them. Two of the tomato seeds sprouted. Stay warm and take care 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Good Morning – very impressed with how those turnips turned out for you. I just got my garlic in a week ago so its not up yet like yours. We usually don't get snow until late December or January but I do have Italian parsley plant that seems to love the cooler weather. I cover it at night just in case but it's doing well now. Going to have to try that hay bale setup next year. Have a great weekend.
