Thyme and oregano both tolerate the cold really well. I loved growing both of them.
I can't find a link to the pea and bean inoculant that you bought and if I don't go through the store at amazon will you not get paid by amazon cause I don't see it in the list of garden things..??? I don't know how it works really so can you give me a link or if I still follow you and buy will it automatically pay you still???
Minnesota zone 4b and you cannot grow anything outside in the winter. We had temps to -60 and 85 inches of snow. Fall is very hard to grow anything. It gets cold fast because the mail factor is the lack of daylight. We really start to lose in October. I brought pepper plants inside this fall and they grew peppers but it took all….winter. LOL You can grow herbs and microgreens inside but everything takes a long time because of lack of daylight, My ferns looks sad all winter until we start getting the longer days. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the great job you do to teach us. Do you grow onions or garlic
I'm going to be homesteading up here in Canada soon, going to try a lot of different experiments for longevity into the cold!
I know this is a bit older vid and it's pretty much summer now, but watching it made me curious about something.
I know beans and legumes are "nitrogen fixers", and that they have to grow and die back in order to "fix" the soil, but what other plants should be left to die and become part of the soil, and which should be removed (if any)? Do you pull EVERYTHING from your garden in the fall that is dead, or do you knock it down and just mulch over it so that it becomes like compost? Or do you pull it and put it in the compost? Are there any plants that would be very bad for the garden if left to wither away there?
I know this is a old video lol but I would love to see u and Sarah do a video together
Gearing up for planning my fall garden by reviewing your Fall videos! thanks for these!
I am just a backyard/patio gardener and I have learned so much from you. I had a wonderful spring garden with bounty and am now getting ready to put in my little fall garden. Thank you so much for helping me realize that even in the city I can grow some of my own food, it has been such a therapeutic thing, and the food aint bad either.
Hi….I've always loved the sound of your wind chimes—if possible, do you recall the brand or where they came from? I realize this is not one of the 'usual' questions—but their sound is identical to those of my beloved parents at my childhood home. Hearing their music in your videos always brings a flood of happy memories!!. Thanks and BLESSINGS—you've touched more lives than you will ever know. 🙂
I've done 4 mil clear plastic tunnels here in SE Iowa for years that have done well down to -20F. Can't speak to -40, but you can keep a tunnel garden down to very cold temps.
Recipes yay!!!
The way you saute up kale with eggs. I do that with spinish and eggs. Does it taste kind of like the saute spinish???
i think it's parsley too
In my experience in Denver Colorado, zone 5, thyme in lemon balm dyes back in the winter but will come back in the spring.
Hi Jess What plants can be brought in for the winter? Herbs and flowers and such?
which fabric cloth do you recommend? Do you have an affiliate list that I can purchase from, recommended favorites?
It is 2020. Love watching old videos.
And collards.
I’m curious if you have a video on how to ‘put the garden to sleep’ for the winter/late fall. (Basically wondering how to cover or what to do to prep soil, or how to get the beds prepped for spring now that the growing season has slowed/stopped. We have chickens so I’m hoping they’ll help.)
Maybe you can help me out. I’m in an apartment for about another month and I have several “experiments” that I’m struggling to get sunlight without them being out in the cold. We are in Virginia, I don’t know the zone but I have an aloe leaf, pineapple top, a couple cacti, avocado, mint and bell pepper seed starts. Can I cover them with something to prevent frost?
Oh George! He is missed!
MN born and raised!! A good storm couple years was -60 with wind chill!! Yes you need a heated tunnel or greenhouse at one point…
