Frost Tolerant Vegetables Growing Succesfully in my Winter Front Yard Garden

[westernplains]

Dude, you are awesome. I have bok choy and spinach coming out the yang thanks to your fantastic videos!

[ArizonaAdventures]

good video! looks mighty cold :)

[Rheygand]

What does the sign in the front yard say?

[enticed2zeitgeist]

You rock man. You are my favourite sub.

[gogogardener]

I'd love to hear more about celeriac and how to use it... what parts are edible, etc..

[yec1JF]

pansies really aren't pansies LOL

[blackboy424]

ha it was almost 80 degrees where Im at on christmas

[jsbattlenet]

so far Dec has been so nice in NY that I still have one small Broccoli pant still serving and a celantro plant still giving me some leaves for cooking. I know they will die but so far there still green and growing

[will6659]

@jsbattlenet

Boston is amazingly mild this year too. Have lettuce, sage, and beets still growing strong outside. They are covered for some protection, but no hard freezes yet.

[jsbattlenet]

@will6659 thats great I wish I left more growing in the garden. next time im going to keep the brocolli and celantro going and any other cold weather veggies going for as long as possible. I stopped planting when I thought the cold would comeand kill but I should not have.

Hey John, love your videos. Can't wait to get out of the Navy so I can grow my own greens too. Ever thought of getting a few ducks or hens for eggs and to keep you company while you do your gardening?

[wilhat]

hi jhon what is that behide you ear.

[keptyeti]

Help! I've got what look like powdered-sugar covered aphids on my broccoli plants. They seem to have appeared since I started covering my bed with hoops and greenhouse plastic on cold days/nights. Is there such a thing as a powdered-sugar-covered-hoop-an­d-plastic-loving-white-purple aphid? If so what natural thing may I use to destroy them? What do? AAAAAARRRRRG!

[SouthernGardner]

Why dont you just make your own compost and do you start your own seeds.

[GardenNewbie]

@SouthernGardner Im guessing because he'd need to buy an acre of land to do it, lol, have you seen how many beds he has and how big they are?! He would need to make a tonne of compost!

[Shreelar]

Okra melted to mush after a frost. Glad I only planted a few as an experiment.

[yourroaddog]

what is a minimum amount of time it takes to garden?

[KungZoo]

minus five indoors and out, and I've been banned from growing any more plants at the office, so not much chance of growing my own food - just yet. I did have plans to purchase raw Stonecrop from the nextdoor supermarket, but then I read some reports about it being potentially toxic. Have you any thoughts on Stonecrop's dietary benefits? Opted for a toasted sandwich this evening instead, but have some new visions of my own for 2012 based on your videos. All the best..

Hi John! It looks like variegated collards to me! OAEC sells them in six packs or in mixed six-packs, and maybe you got it by accident mixed in with their kale plants or something. It also looks like you have another collard plant right next to it? The variegated collards start out as solid green plants, and then they turn variegated after frost or when they are thinking of setting flowers. Anyway, the variegated collards are yummy...a little milder than other collards. Grows fall thru spring

[nolessthanill]

I am eager to see the new irrigation system.

Merry Christmas from Downunder! Just discovered your videos & loving them.

[MrAntdion]

Happy holidays John can you show us how you front garden is set up for some ideas, thanks

[SocalDNM]

Cool video man. What zone are you considered? So this is your front garden, do you got one in the back too? Do you got a video of it?

[LoveAglow]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family John.  :o)

[madeofyucca]

Cauliflowers and peppers have different numbers of chromosomes. It is highly unlikely there was genetic drift between the two. Perhaps your cauliflower got a gene from another brassica near by, or it was a simple random mutation. But however it happened the leaves are super pretty on your plant!!

[ChrisGrowingOrganic]

Christmas is just another day for a lot of people these days. Thanks john for the video.. I think i lost my snap peas this morning :(

[mlg779]

John today is Christmas... take a brake man..is the birthday of Jesus

[wmkk808]

Merry Christmas John I hope you have a wonderful New Year as well, thanks for all your videos and tips this past year, I look forward to a great 2012...

[armanflint]

You live across the street from Bandit (From Smoky & the Bandit.)

[zombiekiller50001]

i livfe in novato and half my crop froze but it'll do ok

[1971mgb]

Spray some vinegar in a reused windex bottle on your car windows at night. No frost on them in the morning.

Great winter garden!!!!

[martenfisher1]

John, we are in the same climate. We have been so lucky here. We only had one light frost at 32 degrees. Even my moringa has not frozen yet. I hope we have a light winter and my tropical things don't go to the ground.

[chelashe]

Do you know were can we get good quality dates on line? What about the date people? thanks

[911tomo]

lol i was just thinking the exact same thing

[arbonac]

What's that black ball in the sky behind Johns head at the end of the video???

[growingyourgreens]

The Black Ball is the Big Light in the Sky that allows all light on earth.. The Sun shows up funny on the camera because its SO Bright.. Maybe the Camera needs Shades..

[CHEVYCAMARO4GEN]

@arbonac Thats How the cameras Pick up the Sun as its too bright and damage the camera

[moonshadow93924]

John, I'm so jealous of your amazing garden! The birds and mice are just devestating mine right now! Grrr.

[jhodnettejr]

happy holdays john, thanks for the videos. youvee inspired me to GROW MORE FOOD! :-D

[leapingfroglady]

Merry Christmas John. You have inspired me to grow in the winter. I used to hate winter since I thought I couldn't grown much. I have found out different. Thanks :)

[otreborzedalav1]
