  1. I put in leeks and also onions which will be ready in Spring. Also you can leave potatoes in ground over winter and pick as needed. Chard and mustard leaves are other good veg leaves to try as well as raddish

  2. I have a greenhouse made from a single car garage. Have been growing radish, peas, lettuce, carrots, spinach, green onions, cilantro, broccoli, celery, and herbs. Wonderful flavor, no pesticides, just home grown goodness! We just received 33” of snow this week and greenhouse has a small heater and I use Temp Stick to monitor inside temperature. This spring will use a small AC unit to cool down the GH because it can be very warm inside. Zone 7, mountains of AZ.

  3. Great vid, as usual. Practical and inspirational, a rare combo. Sad to say, we live in a condo so cannot have any sort of row cover outside. BUT, I grow small takeout-trays of pea and radish microgreens under the grow-lights we use to start early spring lettuce, kale, and spinach. I'm also going to try starting several plugs of peas inside during late February to get a month's jump.

  4. I notice a few little bites out of yout radishes. I have them too and have tried to find out what they could be. I certainly have plenty slugs around and I have read it could be woodlice too, or even mice – yikes! Do you know what is eating at your's? And are they still ok to eat if cleaned up? Great videos by the way. I only stated gardening in May but totally hooked.

  5. Hi, I planted lettuce, herbs and kale seedlings in the patch 2 days ago but already two thirds of them have been gobbled up by slugs. Any tips? I have an eco garden but sometimes it gets the better of me!

  6. How long does the food typically last? If I made a lot of it how soon should I be planning on eating it?
    For the greenhouses, do I cover the food in plastic or fabric all day or just at night?

  7. Mustard and cilantro will go to flower very quickly with warm weather when planted in the spring.
    I prefer to plant these in the late summer/early fall (zone 6).

  8. This dude doesn't appear to have aged a bit! He does have a much brighter and pleasant approach to the newer videos however. (Had to figure out what the heck I can get outside here in the winter still).
