Come along on a rainy day and visit with me as I plant out my last winter vegetables in the garden. This episode features a calm and relaxing time in the garden doing what I like best – transplanting my veggie starts. I’ll also give you a tour of the garden and we’ll check up with the progress of the transplants and seedlings that were started in the past few weeks. Join me for some garden peace.

We work a small-scale teaching garden, much like the typical Zone 9a backyard garden and raised beds, the kind of gardening accessible to all. We tend to take the slice of life approach and hope you will enjoy our family, our dog, our cooking, our adventures, and occasionally some commentary and advice. We love family, joy and friendship, and we invite you to enjoy these things with us!

Howdy. I hope you're feeling better. Have missed you.
How do you like the sturup hoe?
Audio is really good! I saw the leaves getting blown all over the place but never heard any wind!
Thank you again for an excellent video, Scott! I'm still sowing seeds in my garden (even though our hone is not yet livable again), and elsewhere as opportunities are presented… even stashing nickels in hopes of your Good Books release! I'm an eternal optimist! 😊👍🙏
I also noticed that the audio sounds exceptional. Did you get a new microphone? Totally enjoyed this video …
You're giving me some hope about being so late this season. I still have some leeks and lettuce that I need to put in here in zone 8b.
Audio sounds great on the new mic!
this was not much of a learning video but you have lots of great ones in the past as well as great ones coming up soon.also it does not sit to well with me when you start handing out employee of the month awards!maybe phobe should take care of that possum instead of digging garden beds up.
Hi Scott great video a few laughs n hanging out planting out and learning also.. thank you
Sometimes it is nice just to wonder around the garden . Thanks for taking us on the stroll with you .
That's what I did today. Just looking around to see how the garden is doing. I think I would like to plant some bunching onions is I can still find any. Yours always look so good. Love your strolls to see what you are doing.
I’m your neighbor in Houston..the way HOUSTON IS -Crazy
I still have tomatoes.zucchini..and of course cabbage ,carrots.and a few other things ..
I actually did better in fall on a lot 🌱
Your lemons look fabulous! This is my first year with them. My small tree is in a pot and I have about eight lemons 😊
I need to follow you on Instagram… but I wouldve freaked thinking Pheobe was about to cross the rainbow bridge. 🤣
My garden is winterized. But I've already started prepping to do seedlings. For each thing there is a season and I must not go crazy before Spring arrives.
Good to see ya Scott. Blessings, sir!
Your new microphone is awesome!
FIRE ANTS
1 ounce orange oil
1 ounce Dawn dish dtrgnt
Water to make 1/2 gal
Start pouring around perimeter of mound or entrance, spiraling into center, then just douche them with what's left.
Wait 10 minutes.
Entire mound – dead and gone!
Good one Scott. Glad to see patience concerning the carrots won out. — Concerning your red ant problem. — I never had "fire" or red ants, but I have had a black ant problem. Mix Boraxo (laundry detergent) or any borax product with sugar and a little water to form a paste. Put the lid with the paste in the ants path. The "black" ants bring this substance back to their nest and –Wa-La within a couple days. No more ant problem. If you try this please inform me as to the success or not. –Thanks Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA
Always excited to see a new post! Happy to see you in good spirit.cant wait for the next garden update.we share the same soil profile always curious to see what you have going!
You have tough more than you know. Thank you for your down to earth teaching
What do you do about the fire ants in your beds? I have them too and I don’t want to put poison in there
I am in texarakana and have had a terrible time starting leeks and onions from seed. What's your method? Or a video you've done already lol
Like the new microphone system. Good sound.
I have to have raised beds. I also have hard clay soil. Not only that we have gophers. They have been digging up the yard in between the beds. So far the gopher wire is working but hoping they dont get into my beds. I just planted bunching onions, leeks, shallots, spinach, bok choy, broccoli, celery, radishes, cabbage, brussel sprouts and all doing well. Same zone as you. I want to do carrots but they didnt do well last year so not sure I want to try again since I dont eat them much. Lol. Glad to see your video.
anyway scott enjoyed your video glad your still gardening In november I love that time of the year where you can actually get out In your garden with out sweeting to death
I did the broadcast carrot thing last year and got a ton of carrots. I thinned them over the year gradually by making that my garden snack, and I have enough from my fall carrot harvest in the freezer to last 6 months. Doing that again this year.
I like your laid back style. I can relate to your channel because I have a small suburban yard in Southern California, zone 10b. Thank you for sharing your garden.
Another great video even if the star "Phoebe" didn't make an appearance. I'm sure IG post freaked people out. I enjoyed the raised bed with the mixed plants, will be fun to see what happens. We are frozen here (23 degrees) so this is my garden fix. TFS 👍
Thank you for the video series recommendation. I will check it out with my kids. 👍🏻
Your rosemary is huge! I think the biggest one I have ever seen is at the Pioneer Museum in Fredericksburg (which is a replica of an old German settlement. Highly recommend that place if you’re into history, but anyway…) the rosemary there was absolutely massive! I wish I could add a picture.
That many dill plants this year equals a dill farm next year😂 I find dill everywhere in my garden and yard.
There is always something we can learn just from watching others, specially your videos that have so much good info . keep it up and Phoebe is the best
I did learn something today. I didn't know about the history of Rosemary and Christmas.
Thank you for the nice, relaxing video. I live in MD 7B and we had our 1st frost two weeks ago. I have some cleaning to do still.
Your mic sounds good
Tales from the Green Valley is an excellent show. I like how they don't romanticize the periods. Successes and failures are all embraced.
Thanks for everything.
I would never want to deal with your summer heat (or fall & spring, probably) but I do envy your ability to grow through the winter. I currently have a 5" pot with some lettuce seedlings under a grow light, and some spinach seeds in another pot within a plastic bag on top of my refrigerator that will hopefully germinate in a week or two (I keep my thermostat between 55-65 to keep heating costs down, so plants don't germinate as quickly, but they should grow fine once they get started). Thanks for the video – always nice to see green, even nicer when we have sub-zero temps in the forecast.
I also have a young but large opossum that hangs under my deck. He no longer rund away and he enjoys the leftover cat food.
Thank you for mentioning The Tales from the Green Valley. I just finished the 12 episodes. There is so much information of lost skills and experiences.
I liked the relaxing pace of this.
I recently picked up a Texas heirloom verity of old fashioned multiplying onions.they have fared really well for me here on the coast.does well year around.multipliy fast all summer and grow rather large in winter.they truly are forever onions
I really appreciate you sharing your gardening this time of year. I'm south of you, in Corpus Christi, zone 9b. I'm also fairly new to gardening. I'm still figuring things out amd there isn't as much info available on planting ànd what to do in the colder season. Also, I'd sure like to learn more about how and when to start which seeds when? Start them inside or outside? I'm a true beginner and am eager to learn more about planting seeds.
Technically the winter doesn't start until ~ Dec 21st… you could have gone with BASICALLY the winter… 😉
Mic sounds great!!
Hey Scott we love you
I grew dill this year, just threw them around and some came up on their own from last year but they were tall. I noticed someone else's garden had short ones. Are there more than one variety?
I like the new fence Scott ! Looks nice !
What happened to your? berry bush in Front of the Hugel culture galvanized planter . I can’t tell if it is there or just grass when you were talking about the berry canes. Take care Scott wish you the best always 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Scott you look Great ! Don’t worry 😊🌱
