It would really be helpful if instead of talking about chores in terms of the month you do them you spoke in terms of seasons - i.e. instead of saying 'plant in April' say 'plant mid-spring' or 'plant 3rd to 4th week of spring'. Would help those of us in the Southern Hemisphere.
Wow, I am so amazed at UA-cam's algorithm. I was just reading about sowing seeds early to get a better start in Minnesota. Thank you so much for doing all this work to advocate gardening at home. Your channel is astonishing. You are a great creator and host. I'll adjust the timing for my zone (5) b/c I just googled what zone Ohio is in. Zone 6.
Another tip for those that may want fresh greens when you don’t have a place in the house or a green house. I bought carts with a top and bottom shelf that are on wheels. I place my beloved plants that I don’t want to lose over winter in pots (the ones I know will for sure freeze) and place the pots on the carts. I roll these carts in and out of my storage area daily so they can have sun in winter. I grow spinach, Swiss chard, onions, lettuce, parsley, etc as well on these carts. It is so refreshing to be able to go to my carts in winter, select some greens, go in and cook a Spanish omelette, etc. I never have to buy any of that during the winter now. Then in the summer, no more rolling the carts in and out. But really, it was very easy to roll them in and out and it gave me way more joy knowing I had fresh food all year.
So timely! Although I feel behind on a few things, I’m on track for most of it. I watched twice just to be sure and took a page of notes. Amazing how this info flies out of my head from one season to the next 😂 Thanks so much for this helpful video!
Watch the dandelion flower: when green plant appears plant spinach; when yellow dandelion flowers appear plant potatoes; when the white puff ball appears plant tomatoes; and when the white puff ball goes bald plant peppers.
I got to the part where you said don't plant spinach after March, paused, and ran outside to plant some. Radishes are up, got them to germinate on one of those cold days last week (I'm in NKY near Cincy), lettuce same, using little plastic row covers. I've learned so much from your channel, just wanted to say thanks!
A few weeks behind on my cool crop plantings but nature will take good care for me… just happy to have dirty hands and the ability to be out in the sun! Happy growing everyone!!
In October I tossed a few spinach seeds in my southern exposure garden (Zone 6a) Near Cincinnati. I've been happily harvesting green spinach leaves almost all winter. They survived the snow and the cold. They have done well under a plastic cake box top. On March 1st I planted lettuce, radishes (big ones), and spinach. I cover them at night and on cold days. So far all have sprouted. My grocery store leek that I stuck in the ground in October is doing nicely. The free rutabaga seeds grew and were left uncovered, but they are growing well. I should have covered them on some very cold nights. I felt guilty and they would be better if I had the foresight to do so.
Good point on fabric versus plastic. 👍 We are about a month ahead for anyone reading. One thing you can do for direct sow crops, and assuming you planted by spacing without planning to thin later, is to re-seed any gaps. I find that more efficient than planting a long row and then thinning later. But it does depend on how much you are growing, too. I think it would be too time consuming to plant by spacing if you were doing long rows of a lot of crops. Good show, Jenna. Thanks. 👍
I typically space my plants so I don't have to thin them and as you suggest just fill in the gaps or just as likely, remain happy with what did come up. It's just me I am feeding anyway. Good advice. 😀
Hello fellow Ohio Gardener! I've been growing in my tiny yard for the last five years or so in Dayton and am working on building a community garden in Downtown Dayton as well! I just have radish, carrot, spinach, and kale out now. Tons of peppers and tomatoes inside with just their initial leaves. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is great to hear, Zac! Are you working with the 5 Rivers Metroparks system of community gardens in the Dayton area by chance or is this something separate?
@@GrowfullywithJenna something separate but those gardens are pretty great! We're building 4x4x2 raised beds in Burns-Jackson Park, the city gave us room for about 70 of those beds with 3 foot walkways. We also recently got a mini grant for a good bit of the materials too! If you're ever driving on 35, you can see the beds and our huge woodchip pile on the south side just before the Keowee St. Exit.
Husband says to me last week..." Don't ya think it's a bit early to be starting seeds? Still have a couple months." 😂🤣 and we've been married 24 years and he says this every year.🤪 I swear he just likes getting me going, because I take over his library and turn into a lit grow room! Regret nothing. Ha, ha, husband!😅 Ty for the upload ❤
Your love of growing crops is apparent!! Always looking to see others opinion of early planting. I'm in Methuen,MA so it's challenging & often a gamble. thanks. good content. Clear,valid,concise🎉🎉
Hi Jenna! I live in Zone 6 in Ky and I've learned a lot from you. My garden will be a lot more productive this year. Thanks and keep up the good work :)
Thank You for this video! Great content. I plan to listen a second time. I'm in W. TN, zone 8a. I love Ohio! It's too hot here. I love your little digging tool. Wish I could sit on my knees like that.
Hi Jenna, Your videos are so much more informative for me than all the rest. I live in northern cuyahoga county near lorain county. Your advice and insights are truly a game changer. Please keep up the awsome teachings. I did not really know much about planting cold crops so early. I did not think it could be effectively done with our half year of cold weather. Thanks for the info.😊
I leave some of my carrots to grow through the second year and you will get tons of seeds. One carrot can produce quite a bit of seed. I did this the first year I ever planted carrots and now I never have to seed / plant them. They seed themselves. But if you live where there is Queen Anne’s Lace or Poison Hemlock, you may want to gather the seed and plant yourself on year three. Watch for cross pollination as well. I don’t live where these plants are so, it is very easy for me. Planted them once and now every year, I can harvest carrots without having to plant them. Love that! And they make beautiful while flowers for my neighbor’s bees.
I am Michigan, 5b. I am setting out my planted root pouches today, only in in low 40s at night, rain coming in tommorow and Wednesday. My garlic was planted late fall and will be put outside now, same with blueberries planted in pots. Thanks for the great tips. Planting my peas and carrots this week.
I'm glad I found this video! I'm in Kansas (6b) and am planting my first vegetable garden. I have no idea what I'm doing, yet. After watching this video, I am heading outside to plant radishes, carrots, lettuce, beets, parsley, and cilantro today, all from seed. THANK YOU for this video!!! SUBSCRIBED
I was surprised when my boys told me that it had been in the 60s in Ohio. We are barely in the 40s here and our nights are in the 20s. Yet I have been looking at these onion starts I have grown figuring that soon they should be going in the ground. Just seeing the picture of your onion starts made me understand how big they need to be. In that I am on track. I'm thinking of giving it another week or so however. I smiled when you showed that clip of your children searching for potatoes. That is probably my biggest reason for growing them, children love to discover them waiting for them under the soil. It was a pleasure as always listening to your good advice. Another gardening season is upon us!
Yep- 60 a few days ago and a low of 20 in a few nights... it's all over the place. I'm surprised it's so chilly in your neck of the woods! And yes- the potatoes are always such fun with the kiddos!!
2 weeks and its been in the 70s here. I finally planted my onion starts today. Yeah I know... its been crazy around here. But apple trees are in and I am about to plant grapes. Strawberries will go in tomorrow. 😀
I just put in onions, shallots, and potatoes, just have some raking to do before the carrot bed is ready. My purple kohlrabi is going crazy already. Northeast Ohio has some wild weather lol fingers crossed
Wonder if you would consider popping Celsius conversions on the screen when you mention temperatures in F. This is an awesome informative video. Thanks so much for making this quality material.
You are a dream!! I’ve been gardening for more than 30 years but mostly landscaping. I love growing vegetables and my husband and I are learning new things every day here in zone 8a NC. Thank you for all the amazing information you have amassed!!!
wow it's great to know that those plants which is most of what I'm planting in the fall and growing through the winter are so frosty. it only gets down into the20s maybe twice per year where I live in central Californiaand this helps me rest assured that most of my plans would be fine without a cover.
As ALWAYS……another informative video. Look at that sweet baby boy! I have 2 grandsons (4&6)that are eager to learn gardening, and it makes me so proud. This was great info since yesterday was in the 60’s, and today it’s raining snowing and 38 degrees in MI zone 6B
Hi guys (the lovely little lad, too!), am lóving your vibe and the getting dirty with Mother Earth. Btw for pinning down fleece i use pegs like yours at the corners, but a single-leg peg-with-a-curl-at-the-top along ends and lengths. Plus sometimes canes between them to relieve wind pressure on the peg points. I allow a few of the kales to go to seed and self-sow; many seedlings 8" high by mid March, then transplant if in awkward place. Corn salad (lambs' lettuce) and winter purslane my favourite over-winter veggies. Arugula not quite so happy over winter but nice when it is. 🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚 🌱🌱🌱
Thanks a lot. Now I feel like I'm even further behind than I already know that I am. As a Florida guy now living in zone 5 Wisconsin, it's tough for me to get out there and transplant / plant seeds in a garden with my knees in snow. I just couldn't do it this year.
So much great info! Here in Boise we were having decent weather with nights above freezing but then suddenly dipped to the low 20’s. My lettuce is small like your seedlings in your video but established from last fall (it was covered all winter) and it survived our 21 degree just last night unprotected. I was amazed! Your cold tolerant list of veggies gives me ideas for our winter garden this next year. Thanks Jenna!
Super helpful! My zone was just changed from 5a to 6a! Such a huge difference… so many more options. I am really heat sensitive myself, so gardening early in the year is much better.
Ditto from MI! "Before your last frost" applies to most anywhere. Those folks living nearly naked in their backyard beach right now probably aren't looking for this content anyway.
I am so glad I found your channel, Jenna! I’m outside of Pittsburgh and your videos are perfect for my zone and my clay soil! I also love your humor! Thanks for all of the great help in making my garden a success!
Exceptional video🌹 It’s going to be 9 degrees tomorrow and rising into the teens by next weekend. I’m going to be super busy. I know how to harden off my warm weather crops but never done it for the cool weather crops. Could you possibly tell me how to take them outside and get them hardened off. I do not have a greenhouse sadly to say😢🙏 Thank you
So glad I found your videos! So very helpful and great information. Thank you. Gardening can feel overwhelming to me and there is so much to learn and I don't like wasting seeds or time because I don't know what works.
Ive grown well planting and protecting before last frost before leaves grow on trees . Spots get full sun until that happens, and sime flower before then too, those do fine after leaves grow and get enough dappled full sun as sun crosses over. I noticed aloot of produce grow under their own leaves.. in shade, so i experimentd with that along the paths and in the little hollars through the woods behind me.
Zone 6b KY/OH love using the plastic low tunnels. I’ll keep it on 3/4 of the way or open the ends to provide ventilation and prevent temp heat extremes
I planted pea plants, broccoli and cabbage a week ago in my raised bed here in Ohio. Covered them with row cover to keep the deer and rabbits out and they are doing great! Planting onions and remaining brassicas today! THanks for your videos Jenna! Keep em coming!!
What a wealth of info on this video! I'm gonna watch it again when I have some free time and take notes. I've given up on spinach, but I see now I've been planting way too late. I LOVE spinach but don't want the chemicals from the store boughts
@@GrowfullywithJenna The veg garden plan is full, but I'm going to plant some in the flower beds...may add a little much needed green color balance as well!
Haha I have no time planning. I started everything from tomatoes and peppers to lettuce and carrots february 21st and the first of March. Funny. I'm eager to get out. I am still building my garden all over. So hopefully in a week or 2 I'm ready to plant in my new raised beds. Super excited. Cutting some big trees down this year too for more sun.
I love in Michigan and really appreciate your content. It’s so hard to find zone 6a content. Would love more on seeds you can start indoors! Off topic, but where did you get your overalls?! I love them!!!
Great to hear from a neighbor to the North!! I got my overalls here: www.rei.com/product/158076/rei-co-op-trailsmith-overalls-womens but it doesn't look like they have this brown-ish color anymore.
Hi Jenna, From an nice winter/spring with a warm sun shining and bare soil, yesterday we got 15 cm of snow!! Just before though I sowed some lettuce in a couple of hanging baskets. Greetings from Sweden/Stockholm, zone 6a/b.
In the Florida panhandle, already have catterpillers on my Tomato plants 😢. I did a winter crop this year and grew purple Cauliflower which got frozen in the Christmas freeze here 17 degrees farenheit. My Brussels made it and still going. May have to check out Bright Cellars cause I'm having a glass of wine right now😅
My heart sank the moment you said BAM! Lol! Interesting you said you generally grow parsnips as a Fall crop. One year my parsnips went to seeds and self sowed the following spring. So last year I broadcasted the remaining parsnip seeds in October, they germinated well by January 8th and are showing true leaves in March. Never heard of anyone else used parsnip as Spring cover crop but they do rot just like daikon radish. Lots of great information, Jenna. Good video!
Where did you find the plastic cloche you show at 3:06. It would be perfect in my raised beds and looks efficient and small enough to store when not in use. The hint to germinate the peas before planting is a wonderful idea. I have done this with with pepper seeds in chamomile tea before, but never with peas. I will try it this season and hopefully my early spring crop will grow and produce faster with less rotting seeds.
Thanks for the temperature guide. I'm from South Dakota and am still waiting for the near record snowfall to melt. We are starting to see some bare ground so there is hope!
We live in snowy California. Last October we planted potatoes to overwinter. We had a record snow year, but amazingly the beds did not freeze due to the way I put them to bed. I put thick wedges of grass on top of the soil, covered that with thick black plastic and then put more thick wedges of grass on top. Then the beds were covered in many feet of snow. They stayed at 40 degrees, so we're hoping to see some potatoes growing soon. Do you have any stories about overwintering potatoes?
Adding to the conversation. I so appreciate Jenna's advice. My thoughts are about all the variability. There is Zone and temperature. Where I live, while I think Zone, Temperature and maybe even rainfall is adequately considered. I think all the planting time videos and my personal experience suggest that the variable of Sunshine needs more consideration as I live in something similar to the London fog.
Thank you for the knowledge transfer. Your videos our always full of very usefull gardening information that is clearly presented. Love your videos Jenna.
Love Love Love your videos. I am in Massachusetts, lots of ups and down with the weather here also. I have Spinach, beets, Kale and Bok Choi growing at home. I will direct plant some of all of those in the garden this week. Our average last Frost date is also the 1st to 2nd week of may
So happy to find your videos. I'm also in Ohio 😊. I'm going outside right after work today to direct-sow some spinach and collards.😊. Thank you for your time and effort with these videos.
Fantastic video, thank you so much. We live in Alberta Canada and our summers have been getting warmer as well so wanted to know more about this. Appreciate you putting this together.
Lol it’s my church. Pop in the earbuds put on my music or a good book…… and work my way thru the high tunnel stop midway at my seedling hut keep on keeping on til I get to the back where my hammock awaits me……but if my husband kids or grandkids ask ……I’m working lol
I enjoyed this video and now eager to get out there, but I must wait a little longer for our soil to be 'workable' (in NH). It's still a wee bit frozen...getting one last blast of snow tonight🧐, then it looks good. Can hardly wait!
Very helpful! Now I can get those celery plants hardened off and out in my garden. I did not know I can plant them yet. We have just past our last frost date. The celery are so large they are running out of room.
I'm sorry about that, but thank you for bringing this to my attention! Can you let me know what issues you had specifically so I can fix it? In the meantime- if you try clicking through this link amzn.to/3lUojnb and then on through to any Amazon product, I think that should work.

Omg it’s so nice to have a fellow Buckeye to get advice from. Thank you! ❤️
No sort of rivalry here from PA. I'll take all the advice I can get.
You are so welcome!
I’m from Ohio as well and you have inspired me on many levels 😊
Aaaaaaamen! *from NE Ohio*

Love listening and learning new techniques and strategies. I’ve been a gardener for over 40 years and I’m still learning.
How awesome that you've been gardening for over 40 years!

Great tip! Gives you a sort of succession harvest too, so you're not having to pick everything at once!
This is enouraging! I have snap peas, lettuce, and carrots that I can plant now then!
I’m too much of a beginner to drop any useful tips but I just wanted to say thank you for all the great content!

i planted arugula and peas together i did very well in the winter and well the arugula bolted the peas gave a great harvest
That sounds like a great pairing!
This is one if the best educational videos on Ohio gardening I've ever seen! Ty!!!!!
I'm glad to hear it!
It's like you live in a whole different country! Your late March advice is much like the mid-January advice appropriate in South Texas!

Thanks a lot. Now I feel like I'm even further behind than I already know that I am. As a Florida guy now living in zone 5 Wisconsin, it's tough for me to get out there and transplant / plant seeds in a garden with my knees in snow. I just couldn't do it this year.
I imagine that would be hard!!
You are a wealth of information. Thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks Jenna. Watching from 5b, Denver.
Thanks for watching!
So much great info! Here in Boise we were having decent weather with nights above freezing but then suddenly dipped to the low 20’s. My lettuce is small like your seedlings in your video but established from last fall (it was covered all winter) and it survived our 21 degree just last night unprotected. I was amazed! Your cold tolerant list of veggies gives me ideas for our winter garden this next year. Thanks Jenna!
I'm glad to hear your lettuce toughed it out!
Super helpful! My zone was just changed from 5a to 6a! Such a huge difference… so many more options. I am really heat sensitive myself, so gardening early in the year is much better.
Fellow Buckeye here: thanks for the information!
Great to hear from a fellow Ohioan!
Your channel is so good! Even though I live in northern europe I can relate to your content.
Thank you so much!
Ditto from MI! "Before your last frost" applies to most anywhere. Those folks living nearly naked in their backyard beach right now probably aren't looking for this content anyway.
I am so glad I found your channel, Jenna! I’m outside of Pittsburgh and your videos are perfect for my zone and my clay soil! I also love your humor! Thanks for all of the great help in making my garden a success!
I'm so glad!
Exceptional video🌹 It’s going to be 9 degrees tomorrow and rising into the teens by next weekend. I’m going to be super busy. I know how to harden off my warm weather crops but never done it for the cool weather crops. Could you possibly tell me how to take them outside and get them hardened off. I do not have a greenhouse sadly to say😢🙏 Thank you
Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom you so abundantly share. And as always, with a smile
Happy to share!
Very thorough. Glad I found your channel. Also from Ohio.
I'm glad you found me too- I always love to hear from fellow Ohioans!
I just found your Chanel and subscribed. Great information!
Awesome, thank you and welcome to my channel!
so sweet to see him planting! What is the white material you use when planting transplants into the ground? (early in video) LOVE IT
Do you mean right around 01:11? That is Gardens Alive's vegetable food. I use that on a lot of transplants.
So glad I found your videos! So very helpful and great information. Thank you. Gardening can feel overwhelming to me and there is so much to learn and I don't like wasting seeds or time because I don't know what works.
I'm glad you find the videos helpful!! Hope you have a great gardening season this year!
Jenna, I just found your channel & love how much information you pack into each video. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS!
Welcome to the channel! 💚
Ive grown well planting and protecting before last frost before leaves grow on trees .
Spots get full sun until that happens, and sime flower before then too, those do fine after leaves grow and get enough dappled full sun as sun crosses over.
I noticed aloot of produce grow under their own leaves.. in shade, so i experimentd with that along the paths and in the little hollars through the woods behind me.
timing too, having the time to plant EVERYING at once can be spread over a couple weekends
Very true!
The best product placement ever! Love this 😊 greets from Poland
🪴💚🪴
😃Thanks!
Very happy that I have found your channel. Every bit is informative and helpful. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it!
Zone 6b KY/OH love using the plastic low tunnels. I’ll keep it on 3/4 of the way or open the ends to provide ventilation and prevent temp heat extremes
Great tip!
I planted pea plants, broccoli and cabbage a week ago in my raised bed here in Ohio. Covered them with row cover to keep the deer and rabbits out and they are doing great! Planting onions and remaining brassicas today! THanks for your videos Jenna! Keep em coming!!
Glad to hear it!
Thank you so much for this channel.
Welcome!
What a wealth of info on this video! I'm gonna watch it again when I have some free time and take notes. I've given up on spinach, but I see now I've been planting way too late. I LOVE spinach but don't want the chemicals from the store boughts
I hope you give spinach another try!
@@GrowfullywithJenna The veg garden plan is full, but I'm going to plant some in the flower beds...may add a little much needed green color balance as well!
Thanks Jenna. It’s still too cold here in nw Nevada desert to put anything out 😔. I have learned to be patient lol. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Patience is a virtue when it comes to gardening!
@@GrowfullywithJenna
Isn’t that the truth 😉. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Rewatching older videos 😊 you mention parsnips here…do you have a video dedicated to it? Or maybe just root crops?
Haha I have no time planning. I started everything from tomatoes and peppers to lettuce and carrots february 21st and the first of March. Funny. I'm eager to get out. I am still building my garden all over. So hopefully in a week or 2 I'm ready to plant in my new raised beds. Super excited. Cutting some big trees down this year too for more sun.
Thank you. Very sound information.
You are welcome!
Thank you, Jenna!
You're welcome!
I love in Michigan and really appreciate your content. It’s so hard to find zone 6a content. Would love more on seeds you can start indoors! Off topic, but where did you get your overalls?! I love them!!!
Great to hear from a neighbor to the North!!
I got my overalls here: www.rei.com/product/158076/rei-co-op-trailsmith-overalls-womens but it doesn't look like they have this brown-ish color anymore.
Hi Jenna,
From an nice winter/spring with a warm sun shining and bare soil, yesterday we got 15 cm of snow!! Just before though I sowed some lettuce in a couple of hanging baskets. Greetings from Sweden/Stockholm, zone 6a/b.
Oh my goodness! Stay warm!
In the Florida panhandle, already have catterpillers on my Tomato plants 😢. I did a winter crop this year and grew purple Cauliflower which got frozen in the Christmas freeze here 17 degrees farenheit. My Brussels made it and still going. May have to check out Bright Cellars cause I'm having a glass of wine right now😅
Oh goodness! I'm not ready to think about tomato pests yet-- sorry to hear you're dealing with them!
Enjoy that glass of wine!
My heart sank the moment you said BAM! Lol! Interesting you said you generally grow parsnips as a Fall crop. One year my parsnips went to seeds and self sowed the following spring. So last year I broadcasted the remaining parsnip seeds in October, they germinated well by January 8th and are showing true leaves in March. Never heard of anyone else used parsnip as Spring cover crop but they do rot just like daikon radish.
Lots of great information, Jenna. Good video!
Ooooh! I'll try this come fall! Thank you!
Oh wow! I've also never heard of anyone using it as a spring cover crop- innovative!
I'll have to try an October sow this fall!
Where did you find the plastic cloche you show at 3:06. It would be perfect in my raised beds and looks efficient and small enough to store when not in use.
The hint to germinate the peas before planting is a wonderful idea. I have done this with with pepper seeds in chamomile tea before, but never with peas. I will try it this season and hopefully my early spring crop will grow and produce faster with less rotting seeds.
I got it here: www.gurneys.com/product/growaway-row-covers unfortunately it appears to be out of stock now.
Thanks for the temperature guide. I'm from South Dakota and am still waiting for the near record snowfall to melt. We are starting to see some bare ground so there is hope!
Oh my goodness- I hope that snow melts soon for you!
We live in snowy California. Last October we planted potatoes to overwinter. We had a record snow year, but amazingly the beds did not freeze due to the way I put them to bed. I put thick wedges of grass on top of the soil, covered that with thick black plastic and then put more thick wedges of grass on top. Then the beds were covered in many feet of snow. They stayed at 40 degrees, so we're hoping to see some potatoes growing soon. Do you have any stories about overwintering potatoes?
Yes- I have a video on overwintering potatoes here: How to Grow Potatoes Over the Winter: Zone 6

@@GrowfullywithJenna Thank you Jenna. You're the BEST!
Clear, concise and informative. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for watching!
this channel is faaaaantastic Thanks Jenna!
Thank you!
Super helpful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Adding to the conversation. I so appreciate Jenna's advice. My thoughts are about all the variability. There is Zone and temperature. Where I live, while I think Zone, Temperature and maybe even rainfall is adequately considered. I think all the planting time videos and my personal experience suggest that the variable of Sunshine needs more consideration as I live in something similar to the London fog.
Thank you for the knowledge transfer. Your videos our always full of very usefull gardening information that is clearly presented. Love your videos Jenna.
So nice to hear this- thank you!
Fantastically helpful!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love Love Love your videos. I am in Massachusetts, lots of ups and down with the weather here also. I have Spinach, beets, Kale and Bok Choi growing at home. I will direct plant some of all of those in the garden this week. Our average last Frost date is also the 1st to 2nd week of may
That is awesome!
Great video. This Ohio weather is nuts! Lol
It always keeps us on our toes!
Excellent tips
Glad you like them!
So happy to find your videos. I'm also in Ohio 😊. I'm going outside right after work today to direct-sow some spinach and collards.😊. Thank you for your time and effort with these videos.
Yay!! That's what I like to hear. Happy planting!
Fantastic video, thank you so much. We live in Alberta Canada and our summers have been getting warmer as well so wanted to know more about this. Appreciate you putting this together.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Super informative
Thanks!
Hey bestie caught the video today after laying in my hammock in the high tunnel……. I mean working….. loved the video
Well now I need a high tunnel AND a hammock!!
Lol it’s my church. Pop in the earbuds put on my music or a good book…… and work my way thru the high tunnel stop midway at my seedling hut keep on keeping on til I get to the back where my hammock awaits me……but if my husband kids or grandkids ask ……I’m working lol
I enjoyed this video and now eager to get out there, but I must wait a little longer for our soil to be 'workable' (in NH). It's still a wee bit frozen...getting one last blast of snow tonight🧐, then it looks good. Can hardly wait!
I hope it thaws out soon for you!!
I’ve been dragging my feet about hardening off my onions and cruciferous. I need to get to it!!
You'll be wanting to plant before you know it-- you'll want them ready to go!
That's a great idea, I don't know why I never started my brassicas so bummed lol.I have potatoes to start to
You could do some this fall!
Very helpful! Now I can get those celery plants hardened off and out in my garden. I did not know I can plant them yet. We have just past our last frost date. The celery are so large they are running out of room.
Happy planting!
TY for the vid. I had trouble with your link to your Amazon store. Would love to buy from it if you can update it for all us watchers.
I'm sorry about that, but thank you for bringing this to my attention! Can you let me know what issues you had specifically so I can fix it?
In the meantime- if you try clicking through this link amzn.to/3lUojnb and then on through to any Amazon product, I think that should work.
