John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ takes you on a tour of his suburban front yard garden where he is growing many vegetables over the winter time. In this video, you will learn about some of the vegetables that can be grown in the winter time. After watching this video you will also learn about one of Johns new upcoming vegetables that is relatively unknown.

  1. Will any of that survive actual snowfall? I live in Virginia & we get at least 1-6 inches of snow one to three times a year. We get frozen rain more than anything. I am looking for winter garden ideas that will grow out doors & survive some pretty harsh weather. Temp is usually 30 & below sometimes even below zero with wind chill & bad weather.

  2. John, I know this video is old, but I'm trying to figure out if the Miners' Lettuce grows in my area. Does it get star-shaped yellow flowers on it?

  3. Slugs in your raised beds? Amazon (or maybe your local hardware store) has adhesive copper tape that you can put around the edge of each bed. It will keep out slugs and snails by acting as an electro-chemical barrier to them – they'll get a shock if they try to cross it! I got like 50 feet for about $15.

  4. NO tomatoes or green beans or Swizz Chard ? NO Egg Plant or Goji fruit (VERY nutritious) or no Brussels Sprouts ? Would like to know how to get the Brussels Sprouts to grow in those balls (buds) since I've tried for years and they always come out in loose leaves. Also no melons ? You have no Aloe Vera either or cactus. No Pineapples ?(yes they take up a lot of space for getting just one fruit per p;ant). You need to buy the property next to you to spread out <G>, and grow these things too and show us how to.

  5. Very good example of the subtle microclimates you can have in a small yard with drastic differences.  I was surprised to learn that small tree could make a frost shelter for the tomato.  I assume frost shelters are from buildings and large wind breaks.  Thank you.

  6. Wow! This was only your front yard. You are so lucky! Thank you so much for posting I learned and enjoyed a lot. God bless you. I love gardening and I wish some day I can have a nice size back yard a least. Lol

  7. I'm going to order online some seeds to plant. can you please write the names of all the plants you showed us in this video? thank u 🙂

  8. Hey there Mr. John would ya happen to have a video or any good reference points on how to combat different pest/ insects organically

  9. Hi John, what part of Northern California are you located? I'm in Chico in Butte County. Wondering if your winter advice applies to Chico as well.

  11. Have come back to this inspirational video numerous times over the years…still impressed!

  12. You are a green eating machine! Lol so cute!! Thank you, I learned quite a bit. I use to live in Northern California, but was growing kids😊 now I’m back to my roots in Alabama. Getting ready to start a second wave of some summer stuff and get my fall things going in the house. 😊🌻
