Long season crops can take more than 100 days to be ready to harvest. They need to be started right now so you don’t lose out and miss a very important window of time to grow these amazing crops.

can I grow some in southern Alberta canada
Glad I saw this video
Thank you 😊
Great video! I grow in the UK in a small patio garden.
Do you use worm castings ever?
I got Artichokes and Celery started about a week ago.
I have some asparagus plants in my garden
I’m in the west coast. It never crossed my mind to grow my own Jicama. Thank you for the video. My family loves Jicama with a squeeze of lemon or lime and salt. I’m going to try to grow some!!
I started some parsnips in a jug in the winter as well, but mine aren’t even an inch tall but do have some true leaves. I also have some in a container out side that have germinated. ❤️🙏
I have to restart my tomatillos. good thing they grow so fast; im not really worried about it.
I’m going to buy the seeds from you and grow all of them! I’m excited to grow the artichoke
I need to get some artichokes in a more sunny location than mine. They don’t have the biggest buds. They are perennial here in the NW US west of the cascades and lower elevation. They love the cool weather here, but they really love the cool sunny zone 10 like Monterey, CA 50F in winter 60F in summer, more or less.
I'm eating my artichokes now..
Where can you get promix?
About Brussel Sprouts, just reminding people to cover them with insect netting as soon as you plant them in your garden and keep it on until you harvest, because cabbage moths and army worms just love them! I lost my entire crop of 6 Brussel Sprouts in 2025 because I did not get the insect netting on them early enough.
I tried celery a couple years back and decided starting it from seed is too much of a hassle for me with my limited seed starting space so im going to be picking up starts at the store i started my luffa and other long grow time gourds like a week and a half ago theyre sprouted and looking nice.
If you like artichokes, you'll probably want to look into Cardoons, specifically these three varieties "Plein Blanc Inerme", "Bianco Avorio", and "Tenderheart". Cardoons tend to be more reliable than traditional artichokes. you can eat the flowers and stalks of a cardoon so the whole plant is edible, although the buds are much smaller, you can actually eat them whole as they're more tender. You even have a chance to overwinter them if you hill them in fall.
I tried to sprout the jicama using a plastic sandwich bag and wet paper towel. It was a big failure. Not one sprouted. I guess they don't like to sprout that way. Will try just starting in six packs
I have to replant some things cause I gambled on weather and planted some stuff out early and even though I covered them the wind blew some of the covers off and I lost 30 seedlings some were flowers some were veggies. I plan to buy some more seeds from you.
No matter how early I start them, I have never gotten parsnips to mature. Also, the only time I tried to grow brussels sprouts, I had to overwinter them, and I finally had some in the spring.
I started growing asparagus plants last year in my garden
