Love your videos and working on my fall garden. Will be doing the 30 inch beds and will be able to grow all winter here in Alabama no problem. Will be putting up some low tunnels too.
Why isn't chard on your list? What is the difference between the poly tunnel and low tunnel? Have you tried a two layer green house?
Thank you for your real tips.
Build a wall
Great topic, what would survive in 3a or 3b?
How do you work your soil up for planting?
I wonder how many Game of Thrones people came here by accident.
This video was awesome!
Wow! Great advice on what to think about, going into winter! Thanks!
That was incredibly information dense. So useful. So stoked for spinach. Curious if/how radishes do over winter.
You said a 6b? Man I'm in 3a!
This was a great video with great information! Thanks
I'm more than happy to pass the 'winter baton' onto you guys up there in the northern hemisphere. Bring on the Aussie summer!
great production on the vids & always love the tunes too 🙂
I just ordered your book. I'm in south africa ☺
I was curious about the paper pot planter. Can't you get perfectly uniform beds with that to the point you could just put holes in your weed suppression plastic sheets and put that on over top of what you put down with the paper pot planter? Is that just too hard with too much variation in bed lenght and location you end up putting the lines of paperpot salad transplants?
I love that we are in the same zone due to the tilt and wobble of the earth lol makes life easier for me! Just different soil, times, and humidity and luckily my soil has just a little extra clay which I have no problems in… yet!! always a good video man!
Great information Curtis! Keep on rocken it.
Curtis – much experience with Tatsoi over winter? It is so cool tolerant, I would think it would do well. Perhaps use the same strat as spinach, where you plant it for early spring?
Another alternative to that middle bed between tunnels is to cover it in shredded leaves and then a landscape fabric/tarp. The worms will love you.
So informative! Very interesting! How do you get to the low tunnel when we have a couple feet of snow on the ground?
Do you do winter shoots and micros?
Haven't tuned in for a couple of weeks. How are the wildfires and smoke affecting you if they are?
I'm so glad I don't have to prepare for winter…I am in winter now and it was 79F today.
Are you purchasing your seeds locally?
Spinach and kale withdraw the water from their leaves to avoid damage from freezing. It is why they do so well in the winter.
You are AWESOME! Thank you. Same zone here in Central NY. We've got a lot of Kale, Chard, just added spinach, about to take the carrots we do have and replant more. We also have Rutabaga and beets as well as winter squash and spaghetti squash, but they won't go past November. We're making our own greenhouse with cattle panel. Have most of it up. I plant to take the fence off the kitchen garden so we can access the greenhouse. Your tips have helped me with a great yield so far this year.
You must have greater demand for products that are growing slow in the winter. How do you meet demand for fresh vegis? What about turnips, chard (seems like your customers miss this wonder plant) snap peas and broccoli. If you got the variety that made side shoots then after you harvested the main bunch. You would get side shoots all winter. Sometimes they sell the side shoot for more than the main shoots. I can understand the problems of lettuce and arugula. I would think arugula acts like spinach. It dies some but comes alive on a 5 degree day. Chard is related to beets. Beets and Turnips can be eaten for the greens and they are very cold hardy. Our nations are greens starved especially during the winter. This why I grow my own. I have an endless supply of nutrition.
im in Jackson, MS . do you have some suggestions for winter crops for my area?
Do you think spinach and carrots would do okay in Southern Alberta with a poly tunnel? We get massive chinooks that raise it to plus 10 but there are days of -20 to -40 with windchill.
