I'm in zone 8b San Antone; the onions and garlic I planted inground in beginning of Dec. all made it through the freeze, and so did my Japanese mustard; the beets, Japanese turnips, and carrots I planted 2 weeks before the freeze, germinated about 5 days ago. I have a ton of seedlings in the garden. I brought my celery in during the freeze below 32 degrees. I didn't cover the onions or garlic. Thanks for the video; I enjoy watching and learning. 😊
Thanks for the update, and thanks for watching!
Leave it on... cabbages are pretty tough. Mine are still growing strong just west of you. We were down to 12 as well. Mine are heading up nicely
Great!!
👍🏻 😎
As far as that Broccoli goes, you might want to just trim back the burnt leaves and see if it'll produce the heads. They look pretty decent. Same with the cabbage.
Thanks so much!
I bought some Hoss Tools tomatoes last year. They looked good, nice strong plants. A little wiltted due to being in a box for a few days, but quickly perked up. They sent 13 of one variety and 11 of the other. Pretty good when I only paid for 10 each. I bought them because I thought I might lose some of mine to a late freeze, but it did not happen. Planted them in a place that the chickens tore up, but that of course was not the plants fault.
Good to know… Thanks!
I missed the freeze in central Florida. My garden is growing strong. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
That's awesome
I very much enjoy your content & your wisdom. Even though I live in Zone 5, I still gather a lot of knowledge from your videos. God bless.
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks, Alan! I think you have encouraged me to try some late fall onions next year! I can't believe those broccoli and cabbages! Wow! And, it got really COLD for several days! I'm amazed! Did you ever cover them or were they left totally to the elements?
Nope, didn't cover them at all...
Alan, I'm in zone 8A McDonough, GA. We got down to 12 degrees one night and 11 degrees the next on this most recent freeze. We harvested what broccoli (Green Magic) and broccolini (Artwork Baby) we had figuring it would take a hit. Nope, ours is fine and producing new off shoots like normal. I had some Katarina cabbage (small "personal" head type), and it has not really produced heads, but the plants are doing fine. I think the key for us is each day when the early morning freeze hit, it was above freezing by the afternoon for quite a few hours. Also our onions are doing fine and showed no hint of any impact from the cold. We've had rain off and on and I'm pushing the nitrogen to them for bigger plants, which will eventually make bigger bulbs (Texas Legend, 1015Y, and Grannex). I didn't cover anything, just let it be what it was going to be. Also I think Sapelo onions are pronounced SAP (like tree sap)-ah-low (as in Sapelo Island Georgia - it's a vidallia type onion).
Glad your plants made it through!
👍😎
All that ground cover and no frost cover? Old sheets can even work. Zone 7 and we saw single digits...everything I covered made it...carrots, collard trees, parsley, celery and rosemary.
Good to know. I just figured it wasn’t worth covering up. It was gonna get so cold. Maybe next time I’ll know better. Thanks for the tip.
I watered the raised beds and wicking buckets the day before the freeze then double layered frost cloth under low tunnels with 1.5 oz frost cloth as the hoop house cover and strung incandescent Christmas tree lights left on 24/7 for heat and dramatic effect. I lost some Basel and one Chard start. I'm near Austin. Winter crops are onions, garlic, lettuce, kale, tatsoi, and pruned over wintering bell peppers. Hoop house is DIY 3/8 rebar and 1/2 Pex water pipe from a box store. I slipped the pex in the water pipe for Mr Leon's 5 gallon wicking tubs and used rebar on the other side of the bucket
Good to know.
I’ve heard of other people using Christmas lights.
Sounds like a good idea.
It has to be the old kind of Christmas lights
I don’t think I’ll start a garden for a couple of months. Highs are still in the 40s here. 🥶
Collards and cabbage are pretty cold hardy, they might make it! I’d leave the leaves alone for a while and see what it does. It definitely won’t hurt to leave them for a while. They’ll shade out those dang weeds anyway lol!
Trying my cabbage a second season. First season heads got as big as a tennis ball before giving up the ghost. Any ideas? In leons wicking tubs
@@jarnold8803 May have gotten a little too cold on them. Nematodes can affect them as well when it’s warmer.
Thanks! 😊
I’ve tried to salvage freeze damaged plants and while the do continue to struggle along, by the time they do much of anything, it’s best to go ahead and replant new plants. But your call….
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻🤔
Yup, I'd eat that broccoli. They look like "lemonade" to me. I'm a few miles south of Alba and I'm surprised to say my year old fig trees seem to have made it so far. Knock wood. No matter what I do short of potting them up and bringing them in the house, somehow I always seem to loose at least one fig tree with each Big Freeze.
I haven’t started pruning mine yet. When I start pruning mine, I will be able to tell how much damage I got. Hopefully not too bad. Glad yours weren’t damaged too bad.
Next time mulch your onions with leaves when it gets that cold. It will warm them up enough to keep them safe.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the video, I was feeling depressed as I too lost most of my plants in this last freeze (it got down to 15 degrees in San Antonio, TX)... but don't feel so bad after seeing you suffered the same! :)
Quick question... do you water your Prime Ark Freedoms during the winter? I have a few i planted this year in tubs, and i really haven't been watering or feeding them.
If you get decent rains, it’s probably not necessary. I watered mine in late fall because we just weren’t getting any rain. But now, we’re getting a little more rain, and I stopped watering them. But will keep an eye on them just the same.
This weather makes me wanna plant stuff…I have cut some of my broccoli and cabbage since the freeze and the broccoli was totally ok , the cabbage had a few brown leaves in them … I used the good part and gave the brown leaves to the chickens
The cabbage that are in my beds look ok , some of the cabbage , I covered with/ syrup tubs .. the one that I used was covered with a tub
Good to know, Tambra. Thanks for sharing.
The onions that I covered look ok but believe it or not , the ones that I planted in the lazy garden slits and did not cover look the best of my onions
Tell me …
Any ideas on a propane torch to scorch the 2x12’s that I’m gonna build my beds out of for my high tunnel… I bought the schtumpa propane torch from Amazon and it worked 2 times and now it won’t stay lit
with the heat and sun they might turn green again the white leaves that is.
Thanks for sharing!
Your cabbages are fine. Leave em be.
Good to know… Thanks!
Not the KISS of death, just pull them off, and they should be fine... I've got 2 left and I'm tickled... have the same looking leaves, however mine are a bit more mature than yours. I've never had an issue with my cabbage having a bit of burnt leaves.
Looks good... my onions are still good, and getting easy for the spring now.
Blessings ❤
Good to know. I think my onions will come back pretty decent. Not full strength not a full harvest, but pretty decent. Thanks for sharing.
@@BIGALTX I agree about your onions, mine have come back well!!
Blessings
@@amsohn1 Thanks, G
by no means I'm no expert but I get rid of all damaged dead leaves;;;lol;;;I have a curly kale and a brussel sprout plant that has been in the raised bed for 3 years and I picked my first mess of brussel sprouts;;;;they have been through at least two major freezes;;single digit included;;;plus all leaves swere continually chomped off by the elephant grasshoppers;;you kow the size that if you driving 75 down IS 20 and one hits your windshield it cracksit;;;lol;;;my kale looked like a flat leaf pine tree leaves;;;they did leave the veins of the leaves;;;if I took a picture no one could tell what was planted; there;;;lol;;;now my two plants had no protection through all these seasons and still alive;;;fixing to go pick a mess of curly kale and see if I have enough brussels to make another meal;;;I did finally loose my chili piquin plant that made fresh pepper sauce for the last 5 years;;;put it in the wrong green house this year and its brown;;;;my rendition of yours is going on its 5th year and stil working good;;hopefully the plastic will last one more season;;;;I should have put the plant in version that you aired years ago;;;but too late now but I have abour 300 seed pods drying so I think I can get another one or two started this year;;;;anyway;;; I know this didn't help but really have enjoyed your old cattle panel green house;;;well mine but from your plan;;;lol;anyway always enjoy;;;thumbs up; and keep em comin;;;oh excuse the typos me pup ate my specs and still havent replaced them;;;

I lost all the onions. Sigh. I am replanting now.
I think the broccoli will regrow. I think the cabbage should keep going. Not sure it matters if you remove the outer leaves. Id leave them on as is. Just my opinion.
Do you know of any pumpkin varieties that are good to eat that grow well here.
Thanks for the info. I don’t know of any pumpkins that are really sweet. I’m sure there are plenty of them that will do well here, I just don’t grow them very often. Maybe someone else will comment here and give you the info you need.
Cherokee tan pumpkins are great to eat and grow good in central Texas
They spread like crazy though and they are small punkins … they are great, baked with brown sugar and butter
Oh yeah and they will last a year if u cut the stems as long as you can cut them
I see hoops don't you have freez cloth
I had some I just didn’t use it. Procrastination 🙁
