Cabbage onions garlic N.C. it can get to 13- 18 degrees but mostly high 20s low 30s at night.
Thanks, Brian! Now I understand why I found a thriving parsley patch in one of my pots where I’d left a pitiful parsley plant huddling under cover from summer of 2022. We get in the teens here, occasionally lower, summer sun/heat is brutal so I throw a piece of fabric over plants muchof the year. I guess I’ll have parsley all year now!
I mix my kale with some swiss chard and saute with onions, tomatoes and garlic try it and see if you still hate kale
I live in the desert and I have been absolutely hating my garden lately. This video has me excited again. I can't wait to start my winter garden! Garlic, onions, cilantro! I'm going to have killer salsa next year!
You ceryainly covered everything thanks
Absolutely needed this video. Thank you
Ha ! This is so small a world. Made a massive comment on a new prepper site – for making one's own DIY solar oven with cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, or mylar sheeting. One can use a solar oven/heater inside a hoop house, or other grow house for increased passive solar heating of the grow area. One can easily extend one's growing early Spring season and late Fall season up to 1+ months on each end. One only needs to make a conventional-sized, large, or HUGE solar oven/heater to take care of one's grow house, or hoop house, and grow all year around for cool/cold/freezing grow zones !
Question: I live just outside Vancouver,. Our winters are pretty mild but wet. I would love to try growing these veggies now. My question is, will the seeds germinate if I direct sow?? Don't most of these seeds need to have a certain temperature in order to germinate? I hope you can help me with this question. I absolutely love your videos❤. You have taught me so much! Thank you!
I didn’t plan ahead. So now I’m having to mail order all my seeds. Nothing local sales seeds after fall starts.
I took special care of my one Kale plant (direct sow this Spring) because my Broccoli never grew a head last year (which was sickly/attacked by pests). It's a healthy plant, and I know it'll survive this harsh winter coming up. I mostly grow it for the health benefits and the hardiness of the leaves (won't become mushy when cooked in high heat). I'm also overwintering my healthiest Purple Beauty bell pepper plant (bought the seeds from Dollar Tree to give it a try), and am hoping it'll thrive next year. I also got Garlic cloves planted, which quite a few had sprouted greens due to abnormal warm Autumn, but it'll be okay once I get to mulching with fallen leaves. Cilantro greens are always slow going, so I'm planning to direct sow a lot more next time.
I keep trying, and hoping, but I have never, ever, had any luck growing any brassicas or even radishes. Tomatoes, potatoes, squash, beans, peas – YES!! But never a brassica! LOL Even my garlic does well! Thanks for the video, and best wishes to you! 👍
But does they grow in cold?
Great advise and wisdom! updates on the new farm babies!
I say (a little tongue-in-cheek) there are no love-it or hate-it vegetables just good cooks and bad cooks.
All the veggies you mentioned had to be planted back in August-October, correct?
I made two cold frames for my two little 4×4 raised beds. I'm loving the fact that I have peas growing still! In 7a here, and it's protected them down to 26/27 F!! Hopefully I get at least some shoots to eat before it gets too cold. Can't wait for spring. Next year I'll plan for kale, cilantro, and spinach….
Nothing grows past October here, but..I can plant seeds for next year.
I have a container garden in my driveway where the only summer sun hits the ground. Nothing would survive our winters, on average 20+ degrees for highs, zeros and below for lows. This is planning time, and basement seed starting set up.
I am in North Alabama. U have onion and garlic growing. Can i start some brassica and lettuce seeds under the grow light and then set out or do you think it is too late?
We've had Temps down to 22F. Killed the baby chard, but the cabbage, mustard greens, and butter lettuce survive when covered. Holding out for the carrots. They're not growing that fast.
