  • I have to admit that winter is my favorite gardening season now. Pest pressure drops, we get enough rain that I don't need to water anything, plants grow slowly and require less work, and everything taste delicious! Also....Now that I have a greenhouse I can finally start pushing some growing boundaries so lets tour it all AND the native garden!

    Autumn, Babe! Several years ago, it got cold enough to kill my tomato plants off by November, but they are still here and one has some sizeable green ones.

    I tried my first fall tomatoes here in (now) zone 9b this year. I ordered some of the really fast mini tomatoes like Patio Choice Yellow from Botanical Interests and they are doing great! I did try some of the bigger tomatoes and they're growing but I"m not sure they'll get big enough before frosts start. We shall see! But next year I'll probably just stick with cherries because what you said about light hours makes sense. And now I think I'm going to plant lettuce and stuff all around my pepper plants. And I'm going to make a monthly sun map of my yard.

      ​@@jacquesinthegarden Part of the enjoyment of native plant gardening is to watch how plants and associated wildlife change over the seasons. Have you heard of Douglas Tallamy? He's an entomologist who advocates people use their yards for native plant gardening as means of protecting biodiversity. Thinking of gardening from an ecological conservation viewpoint might be a way for you to combine your science background and gardening.

    As a Native American from California remember with the native plants around here and most of the americas were cultivated by native tribes using controlled burns or controlled pruning or clearings.. things were never just left alone so it’s ok to tend the native garden and native plants because the people who have been here for hundreds of thousands of years have done it that way

    Jacque, winter wheat isn't going to work unless you get a freeze. Witer wheat is planted in the fall, needs to germinate, and then get "killed" back by a freeze. Then, when it comes back in the spring it will grow a crop. if it doesn't get a freeze after germination, it will just grow like a grass, and not produce any wheat.

  • @AnyKeyLady
    @AnyKeyLady 5 місяців тому +2

    Great tour Jacques! I have always wondered if there was ever a great place in the world for perfect all year round growing conditions. and then i thought would you even want it?
    You were talking about having warmth but not enough sun and by the looks of things not enough rain to soak into your beds and over flow your water butts.
    I am based in London, UK and despite reports, we have had generally average rain this year. Our main problem has been a lack of sunshine due to cloud cover, so it has been very humid this year overall and still warm, despite it not feeling like "summer".
    What i do find here in zone 9 is that mid Sept we always get the rainy/ stormy season and Oct is known as hurricane season. By the end of Oct it is not the temps but the rain and humidity that starts the wind down.
    We also then have weird low temps and frost late Nov ( -3c/ 26.6f at night 2/12/2023) and then back to mild weather. It is so crazy!
    We are back to weird temps of max 14c /12c (57.2/ 53.6f) day/ night temps.
    If we are to see frost/ snow it is normally late Jan/ Feb. We are lucky to get a powder of snow (apart from 2010) but doesn't compare to the 2ft of snow we had back in the 80's.
    They were/ are predicting a colder winter this year and although i hate the cold, i am actually wanting it to happen here.
    1 - it should hopefully kill some of the bugs and bacteria in the soil
    2 - will actually give me some time to plan more and not stress about the gardens/front and back yard as it resets itself. Having a reset point gives me a time out so i am not burnt out next summer. Gives you time to enjoy Christmas, order seeds and infrastructure for next year
    What i wanted to know where you are is, do you pump water into a tank for 24 hours for the chlorine to evaporate before releasing into the garden via the drip system?
    I am really surprise both you and Kevin got greenhouses where you are as the build up of heat and humidity can be very intense, even for a tropical environment.
    Would you be considering uv films on the panes? I can see why you wouldn't want a polytunnel in your climate but it does seem like shade cloth on a greenhouse is an oxymoron in it's original purpose, when a hybris shed/ conservatory would have suited you guys better in your climate?
    Do you find with topping kale it prevents bitterness?
    With the weather reports we have had, i planted the garlic out earlier and not in Dec. My hardnecks have come up but not my soft necks. Going to start my next batch of treated hardneck garlic in oil and keep some of the bigger soft necks for "just in case".
    I really like having a variety of discussions on different styles of gardening and how climate affects the growing/ harvesting/ preserving process.
    Keep up the good work and take care!

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  5 місяців тому +1

      I do sometimes wish we would get a freeze even if it was a soft frost to help kill back some pests and diseases, also I wouldn't mind a break.
      For chlorine I actually am using a garden filter attached to my mainline before it reaches the drip system. Here in San Diego our water has chloramine and chlorine and while chlorine does off gas over 24 hours chloramine doesn't and needs to be filtered.
      Our climate is a weird one, its zone 10b but it rarely gets over mid 80s in temp and also is never overly humid. The greenhouse is for sure not needed here but it does make life easier and helps push some boundaries.
      The shade cloth would only be for the hottest month of the year, Kevin actually managed to not ever use shade cloth over the whole summer this year on his greenhouse.
      I think it does prevent bitterness while also controlling the height. My theory is that the kale is now way more nutrient dense because at this age the plant will have a massive root network to feed into it as well.

    • @AnyKeyLady
      @AnyKeyLady 5 місяців тому

      @@jacquesinthegarden Thanks for the reply Jacques. That is interesting as i thought that it was really hot there.
      I start to struggle when it gets over that temp (27c) in summer. Last year was really bad when it was in the 30c's/86f a lot and in July it got to 40c/104f, which was far too much, especially when we don't have AC here.
      This year has been pretty meh but it has been so humid it was setting off our smoke alarms at one point!
      That's a great tip re the kale. I was going to replace them with new plants but i think i will keep them in if they do ok over winter.
      Thanks again and all the best!

    Yay native gardens! Yours is looking great. That sage 🙌🏻
    Can I offer that California native gardens CAN look nice year round by planting a variety of natives that grow and bloom at different times. You can find something that shines every season and plant strategically (one example is CA fuchsia that gives a great pop of growth and color when everything else seems to die back) It just takes a bit more planning. Calscape is a great resource for this!
    And if you like a tidier look, you can still cut back the dead material and collect this material in a sculptural "bug tower" so the native insects have food and a home year round. I've actually noticed an increase in native moths since doing this, I think it helps them stay protected from the neighbors leaf blowers (ugh).
    Honestly, I'm totally team leave it natural, but because I want to spread the knowledge and love for these life giving plants, I keep a tidier native front garden as a "demo" to interest neighbors and not scare them off with a garden that's too wild. You can have a beautiful garden that provides habitat and food for our native insect and bird neighbors. Plant them and they will come!

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  5 місяців тому

      Very cool, I didn't really think about selecting plants for year round beauty for some reason and I should totally consider adding a few to keep it looking more vibrant. The bug tower sounds like a good way to tidy it up!

    I don't know what it is, but I tried growing brassica's this year but had so much trouble with them. I live in zone 10a and it seemed our winter was literally 2 months late this year. I planted according to the farmers almanac, but didn't see any results. Might try again just hope it's not to late to start a few different winter plants from seed.
    Love the video as always!

      It is pretty hard to predict the timing now days, I tend go with what the season feels like. For example here in San Diego our summer was so cool and delayed that I took the risk and planted all of my Brassicas in September to get a head start. It turns out it stayed cool and that is why they are thriving now. On the edges of seasons I like to hedge my bets and plant some cold and some heat loving plants and see where it takes me.

    Would it be worth to try and capture rainwater from the greenhouse? if the concept works, think of setting up a permanent SIP bed, and directing the greenhouse rainwater into the bed

    Amazing. When I first saw your garden with Kevin years ago, I absolutely loved it. You were such polar opposites but now I see that is not true. The line about being jealous about the greenhouse Kevin had was funny--as usual you all are so cheesy and loving...😂. It is sickening how nice this channel turned out. I took a long break since I no longer have an outdoor garden. Back then EVERYTHING you said was used. Congrats on the native space. I really like it. It looks normal and reminds me that gardening and nature are completely different. These channels always make me grateful for farmers. Four years of apartment indoor gardening later and you would be ashamed of my production. Not your fault though. I refuse to fertilize after learning MG is not the best option...guess I have to try it this year. Congrats on such an amazing greenhouse and garden.

    By having a spring to early summer brassica bed and a autumn to winter brassica bed, that is when i expect to harvest them. It takes the pressure off having to plant and compost at the same time. My autumn/winter brassica bed follows carrots/parsnips and beetroot, the spring/summer one follows the zucchini/bean/Legume crops. Both beds get a period of 3 months or more of being empty/fallow should maybe be sown with a green manure crop, but as I follow no dig principles, could make my life harder.
    Club root seems to be aproblem with so many gardening UA-camrs, when i have never had it in over 40 years of gardening.
