Where what’s the frost? I live 2 miles from you and didn’t get below 40. My Nagami Kumquats are doing so wel in my first year potted, I’m gonna expand to Other varieties including lemons and oranges.
Please have a fig "harvest" and tasting video. You have an amazing collection of figs.
I just harvested TARO for Taro Taters. Here's a video on how to dig and cook Taro that I grow here in Georgia.
https://youtu.be/MtIKcqKtB18
Just think… in a couple of years, you'll be just starting your winter crops!
Glad to see happy Dale!❤😊
Wait till you get down here to Florida the heat and humidity will literally Rot the leaves off the plants and caused the stems to rot in the middle on any brassicas is that you try to push into the summer
Great content, thanks!
What you said at the beginning of this video is such a relief I’ve been feeling like this all my life and when I tell people this they just don’t understand at least I know now someone feels the same way I do. by the way I love your videos I watch them for hours there are therapy to me I watch until I fall asleep your voice is so soothing. If I’m having a really difficult time falling asleep all I have to do is listen to your video next thing I know I’m waking up in the morning thank you so very much please keep making these videos
More power to you positive thinking is always the way to go. Get your grow on.
Another great video! I just picked my first ever homegrown citrus from our Owari satsuma. It was awesome! Our feijoas and pawpaws have flower buds, so excited for next year. We have 2 Asian persimmons. The got set back an entire year because the deer eat the trees badly. Persimmon is a top favorite of deer, so that's a big problem for us. I had to place a giant mesh bag over the whole tree. I hope I can get fruit in 2025 maybe because I have retrain the scaffolds. It was that bad.
You mean i can Plant these crops right now in November? Cause from your title it seems you're talking about Harvesting which means you expect us to already have planted these crops
I used to live in southern North Carolina & miss that wonderful climate.
@millenniagardener please share links of where we can aquire the persimmon and citrus varieties. I'm moving to wester nc soon. So I guess follow your cold weather recommendations.
Love your videos! We just enjoyed a lettuce and spinach salad from our hoop house.
I planted the New Red Fire lettuce this year based on your recommendation and it is now my absolute favorite! My mom loved to eat green onion sandwiches from our garden harvest – thanks for bringing back a good memory. I thought I was just bad at growing oregano. I always associate it with summer stuff like tomatoes. Now I know I need to change my planting time. I really appreciate your very informative videos.
Thank You!
How about a tour of the plants in your sunroom in the middle of winter?
looks at my fall garden…slowly backs away Actually I blame the weather. It was SO hot for SO long and then just did a 180 and went from the high 80s into the 40s and then freezing which took out a few brassicas, and now its warm again so some of my garlic has decided to sprout. sigh It's just a hot mess out there! I never know when to plant anything for fall out here (Missouri, 6a) because the temperatures have been so wacky the last few years and of course that's when I finally decided to get into gardening. At least the cilantro is having a party. 😆
I dehydrate the green tops of King Richard leeks and grind into a powder. Add it to soups, stews, or any other dish for excellent flavor.
Give us an update on the new property.
I like how you do videos of things to do every month, keeps me motivated. Thank you. Things to look forward to 🙂
Feels like I need a persimmon tree now !
Here in Boston the community garden closed on 10/31 so we cleaned up and planted Winter Rye for a cover crop. It is nice to have something green growing all winter. We also brought two hot pepper plants inside to overwinter so the garden lives on in a way. We actually kind of like a break in the season and city traffic takes a lot time. We have seen kale thrive here in MA until mid December and that was with no protective covering. In a community garden near us now there are still a number of plants going and some people go all winter with small hoop houses. It really is neat to see how one can push the season even this far up north with the right plants and protective measures.
On a side note, we attended a bonsai tree event recently and care for them indoors all winter so that helps a bit too.
I was cracking up at that taste-gasm you had when you bit into the persimmon 😂
No pomegranate?
Thank you for talking about SAD. I took your advice and created a fall garden for the first time. It’s helping give me something to look forward to. Thank you!
I’m watching from Goldsboro North Carolina zone 8 A and would like to collaborate with you because I’m working on my garden and I would like your help on figuring out what kind of fruit tree I can grow
Your garden looks amazing! Lovely lettuce! Thanks for sharing MG!😊👍👍
Can you add a shirt to your shop that uses your intro…"What's growing on gardners?" I really like your intro!!! Thanks for all you do for us out here in gardening!
Hi neighbor. I am from central Florida and I would like to grow your asain persimmon but I think I was ruined for persimmons as I bought one from the supermarket and it was awful. This was about 2 years ago and I always see YouTubers growing them snd saying they're so delicious and I always wonder why they think it tastes so great. The look on your face when you took that first bite makes me want to rethink growing the persimmon. If you say they're really sweet I will buy one! Love your videos. So informative. Good luck with your new property.

How are your pawpaw trees doing?
I miss a followup video from this year.
Did you harvest some fruits this year?
I wonder if I could grow this tree(Persimmon), I live in the most southern part of Sweden and we have about 3-10 days of minus(Celsius) on winters nowadays.
Take vitamin D for seasonal affective disorder. At least 5,000 IUs per day. May help if you are craving sunlight and are down in the dumps. Thank you for all the great ideas and info.
So informative ❤❤How is Dale?????❤❤❤
