      @@gregzeigler3850 Wow, sounds like you're growing a winter wonderland right in your garden! Daikon radishes are such a versatile crop-being able to enjoy both the roots and greens is like getting a two-for-one deal from nature. And the fact that they can brave the cold all the way until December is impressive! It’s always satisfying when crops like Winter Density lettuce and perennial kale thrive in a plastic-covered environment, proving that even in the colder months, your garden stays full of life. Keep up the inspiring work-it’s incredible what you’re doing!

    I suggest people buy Winterbor Kale!! It’s super sweet, and it grows large in full snow pack. It’s large, has frilled blue green leaves and I live in Newfoundland Canada. I don’t even need to mulch it. I also grow Nantes Coreless carrots and they also grow here in December and January is snow pack. When it gets down to -20 C I use some old Christmas’s lights to radiate a little bit of heat.

    James, I lived in Richmond Virginia for some time and had a good sized organic garden. I use to plant my carrots in a shady area in mid july. Never bothered to weed it and when the first frost occurred I covered them with 2/3 feet of leaves. On thanksgiving day I would dig enough for dinner, recover with leaves and then continue to eat them through the winter by digging them as needed. One year I planted way too many and when I went to replant found a plethora of good, sweet carrots so I left them and recovered at first frost. We are them well into the next summer and I replanted in mid july as usual. They were actually in the ground 2 years and were sweet and good the whole time. As I recall I was using Danvers short half long variety, a shorter, carrot, at the time.

Beans pole and bush gave good yield. Yesterday, planted my loved parsnips and carrots after cold stratification sprouting. Egyptian onions growing taller and thicker, Asian sweet potato and yukon are leafing up. Collards lived though 2023 winter and gave lots of cut leaves over the past few months. Kohlrabi bulbs bulking up. Swiss chard shaded by lemon grass fronds growing bigger leaves now. Arugula and giant spinach planted. Planting as an experiment some garbanzos tomorrow. All in 5 gallon buckets, pots and elevated raised beds. Thank you, James so much for the encouragement to a NYC small backyard container gardener.

    I live in zone 9a. Usually in mid to late Oct, I plant all my fall crops from seed outdoors. This timing let's them sprout quickly in the warmer days of late Oct, and then grow their best during the cooler days of Nov and Dec. I have never started my fall crop indoors and then transplant them. Do you see any advantage of starting my fall crop indoors and then transplanting as compared to direct seed outdoors in late Oct?

    Love it. Had a boxer who used to take his paws and hold down green beans and string them with his mouth. Have had great success with broccoli and cabbage in the cold months too.

    Hi James, I very much appreciate that you convert the temperatures also to Celsius degrees, it helps me a lot. I can deal with feet to some extent but am completely lost in Fahrenheits. I am really looking forward to the following months cause I got most of what you mentioned in the ground mid September. And here is a ❤for the fluffy vegetable thief.

    This year was not as productive out in the garden as I wished. I am going through so much grief and slacking on a lot of areas in life! I truly appreciate your wisdom and hope to start earlier next year to have fresh food through the autumn and winter 💛💛💛

    With my silver beet aka Chard, in Melbourne, when the thick stem fell over in my yellow stem variety, new shoots grew out from the stem and continued growing. Usually I might have pulled it out but I just left it to keep growing. Your leaves look amazing!

    Haha my tomatoes got eaten almost every time they started to blush by raccoons over night.
    Kale is going strong! So much that I’m juicing it also!

    Thank you so much for this video! I have grown Scarlet Kale, Cilantro, Parsley, A variety of cold hard spinach and mustard greens throughout winter in zone 7b. what I have noticed that they actually don't grow much in really cold days, except the parsley. I may try to put some frost covering this year to see if that helps to grow them a bit.

    Personally I really like corn salad, it has an excellent mild flavor, does not seem to be eaten by any pests, and is a true winter harvest you can be picking from in January. The only disadvantage is how ridiculously slowly it grows.

    I use Hemp - you can buy it for chicken bedding, it not only provides a warmth for the plants, it also slowly breaks down and provides plant food.

    Hi, in Minnesota here. I think what you mean when you say things can survive -30 is that they will die on top and come back. We don't harvest greens from outside a green house when it's below 0! 😅
