Why you don’t grow sinsemilla
Curtis, this was wonderful. Thank you.
So Curtis, if we use your overwintered carrots approach/model with the climate extension, is there any reason this would work better than just leaving the carrots in the ground and let them seed the following year assuming the winter gets cold enough to preserve the carrot?
Thank you, that's helpful! I'm growing Kyoto Reds right now in California, from Baker Creek. It's a fall-sown variety (bolts if it's planted in the spring). I'm going to try getting seeds in the spring first, and then doing a dormancy period, but not sure how that's going to work!
That was a cool video. I didn't know biannual was a thing. Will the steckling produce new tubors underground as well as seed?
I didn't know the word steckling is also used in english, it translates as cutting in german.
another way to reduce spoilage is to store the roots over winter, cut and taste in spring before planting.
Awesome, I didn't know you could do that!
Sorry if this is a stupid question but can someone knowledgeable explain to me the difference between "sprouting" seeds and regular? For example will I have sprouting seeds if I just let my broccoli bolt? Thank you. I want to create a closed loop and generate my own sprouting seeds.
great.
That was a great video. It makes sense to harvest carrots before saving its seeds.
Who did the intro?
Instrumental
Wow, I wish that guy was my uncle or my brother. Very cool!
Today's video is a sneak peak of Curtis in 35 years
Look Santa gardens!!
great focus 🙂 nice video
Steckling is the german word for Cuttling. "Stecken" means "to stick (something into something)" or "to plug (something into something)".
Curtis, you hit it out of the park again. What a wonderful man to introduce us to. It's obvious to me that I could study the rest of my life…and perhaps touch on just what he's forgotten. I love my FromTheField.farm subscription. Heading there now to check out the whole video!
Nice content addition, thanks for working it
Would love to know how he keeps the seed pure in the next step. Does he grow the seed carrot in a cage and buy fly larvae like Will Bonsall describes?
what if you dont have refrigeration @0-7C, is there a way to preserve in saw dust or chopped hay or newspaper, Our grandparents didn't have those types of cool conditions in refrigerators. Will a root cellar with another storage technique work? Grand Solar Minimum is upon us, we need solutions quick
Was that a Leatherman Rev?
I've had mine for a few years and it's head and shoulders above other (non-Leatherman) multi-tools I've experienced.
Woah, I'm pretty new to farming and until now I had no idea this was a thing!
We keep our carrots in the garden and harvest as needed through winter. Would replanting what’s left in spring be the same thing?
What is the plant, that is directly straight behind your left shoulder.
More of John please! He has a very watchable manner.
Great knowledge. Thank you so much.
Makes me smile when seeing & hearing old bearded person munching a carrot 🙂
I have been saving seeds for 15 year. Every year the crops are better then the year before.
I have inoculated my Heirloom tomatoes to some Blites. Last summer in the most Cold Wet season ever, not any blite.
Love this Info on Carrot seed saving.
Honestly Curis, best video Ever!
