    Great video. Loved the demonstration how the leaf mulch works. I am blessed with leaves! You answered my question regarding covering brussel sprouts. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

    I love watching your videos. Lots of good information. Summer gardening I’ve got down. For the most part. Every year there is always something new. Winter gardening I’m learning. Sunlight has been a challenge this year more than ever. Seems like the sun has moved. I live in a subdivision so I have to work with neighbors trees. Even though the trees don’t have leaves my garden has been so shaded.😢 Temps have been crazy. It’s been warm then we will have a night or 2 of upper 20’s. Greens are slowing growing expect spinach it’s struggling maybe too warm. Garlic is doing good but my onions are small and struggling. I’m trying to push them because I got them late start because where I got my onions the hurricane messed them up. Next year I’m going to do all seeds. I’ve been doing some last 2 years. Going to get brave. Broccoli and cabbages have not started to get heads yet but my cauliflower has(some) all the heads are bad looking. Don’t know what happened. I covered them on the cold nights and have kept the head covered from the sun. I’ll be tossing them.
    Don’t have a lot of trees so I have to wait until other people put there at the road. Then I use a leaf shredder. I’ve got to get a bunch of bags because I’ll be chopping my cover crop down covering with shredded leaves then putting a black trap down to terminate the cover crop and hopefully 🤞 the gases of the mustard will send the wire worms packing. Most people till it in but I don’t till. Then in middle to end of February I’ll plant potatoes. I’m learning how to make my own compost. Still in the works for a few chickens and rabbits. I love how you have your set up. If you ever get some free time you can stop by and help me out.😂😂 thanks again for your videos.

      What growing zone are you in? I’m a sone 8a. It almost sound like you have similar growing temps. Our weather has been really tough the last three years. Very little rain. We get about 12-13 inches of rain in average, but the last few years we are half that. We run off of irrigation water from the Virgin River, but the shut it off often in the summer. I try to keep rain barrels full just as a back up.
      I absolutely love growing mustard greens year round. I use them more for cover cropping and feeding the chickens than we eat, but I like the baby greens in salads. 😊

      @ I am in zone 8B. Our last frost date here for 2025 is March 31st(which is about 2 weeks later than this year). We didn’t get our first frost until about 2nd week in Nov. I had to look it up on average rain. It said 53inches per year but we have been in a drought for last 2 years. When it does rain a lot of the time it’s pours and runs off. Then we can go months without any. The humidity in the summer is awful!!! I have big totes to install to catch rain water. Hoping to get it in soon. I have to rely on city water but I have added a filter to it to help take out some of the junk. In the summer I have to use drip irrigation and because of the trees behind me it acts as my shade cloth.
      I eat turnip greens mixed with mustard greens cooked down in salt, pepper and bacon grease. Also with
      Collards are cooked the same way expect a speck of sugar to cut the bitterness. Then of course I will eat them in salads or sauté them.

      Just watched a few videos of it and decided not for me. Price is the attractive but the cattle panel types will outlive them in the long run.

      OMG! An idea: A small agro-tour, to meet at her garden's entrance, first. And, after a guided tour: going to a near by venue to have a late lunch 'prepared with ingredients from the garden'!
      Great idea. (You're welcome! 😂😂😂) 😍😌😉

      I use a lawn mower with a bag and just run over the top, and it gathers them up nicely. I used to use a leaf shredder, but the lawn mower is faster. 😊
