I used to not like turnips much either. My mother used to boil them with potatoes. HOWEVER, I started cubing them with onions and fry them in a skillet with a little oil or butter, like home fries, and they are delicious. Browning them like this really sweetens the flavor and cuts the bitterness. If you've never tried them like this, you should. It may change your mind. You can also roast them on a sheet pan, cubed again, with onions and a little oil. I've also added sweet potatoes and white potatoes. It's great.

I just discovered you two yesterday, and I have to say, it's quite refreshing to have someone knowledgeable talking about homesteading. Like your grandmother, my parents grew up during the Great Depression, and I've always had a big garden. In the past 10 years, I've discovered dehydrating with my Excalibur dehydrator, and this year plan on adding more fermented veggies to the mix. Thank you for the fermented ginger carrot video. I just pickled some carrots, but will ferment some in about 50 days when the next carrots are ready. One more thing to plant now, for me, is another row of red potatoes. I haven't bought potatoes in the store in years! I like to have some in late so they store well and I use them as seed potatoes. Thanks again, Debbie in New York state (far from any city)

The house I live in is for sale, so this year and last, I planted in 7 gallon clothe planters which I put inside milk crates that my neighborhood store gave me. This makes it easier to control the type of soil that I use and when I have to move, my garden will move with me.

Hands down best bug control I have ever used was Guinea fowl in the garden. Unlike chickens they don't eat your vegetables, but I had a double 50 ft row of bush beans and there was not one hole from a bean beetle in a single leaf. They would walk down on opposite sides of the row, even with each other and get any bugs on the beans as they went. They are not the smartest fowl in the barnyard, but they're great watch dogs, seasonal layers, and you won't have a tick or a beetle on your property. They won't eat squash beetles, but I don't think anything eats those. Love your videos, I don't say that about many KZbin videos. Yours are really well done, thank you.

My first frost date is November 30th so I get to grow lots of stuff. I’ve been able to plant heat loving plants (because it’s HOT and humid here in the south). I’m planting cowpeas, pole beans (I’m trying yard long beans this fall), and in October I start onions from seed. I plant my garlic in November. I usually try to get my brassicas to grow in the fall because they bolt very quickly for me in the spring. I’m also trying to get more out of my extended growing season for determinate tomatoes. I started this seeds early July and only planted quick producing varieties. My next round of succession planting of pole beans go in next week. Rattlesnake beans are on the menu along with Lima beans (bush) and I often have to plant in partial shade for my plants to survive or even germinate. It works though! Winter squash is also getting planting here in July as well as another round of sweet corn. Whew. I’m tired. 😂

Hello, Loved, loved, loved the chat, E is adorable. I miss that as mine are grown. I have been winter gardening without a greenhouse here on Whidbey island, central island, for almost 10 years. Lots of trial and error and experimenting. I use a frost blanket to cover my food when the temps dip low and it has been quite successful. My go to for information is from Charles Dowdy WINTER VEGETABLES and West Coast Seeds in BC has a great booklet they offer on Winter Gardening. I plant winter hardy seeds with varying harvest dates to extend the harvest. Our winds can be quite wild and change direction from coming from the south to coming from the north...which can be challenging. I also deal with the short tailed field mouse, vole, who thinks I am planting for him. So I generally put out a trap line in and around my winter garden. My other critter challenge are the crowned sparrow which have a sweet song, but wreck havoc on the greens. They seem to be increasing in number and love the garden. So covering with a nett or something like it is a must...especially early on when they are first coming up. (My husband pulled a trampoline net out of a dumpster and it works great. I plant my brassicas as starts under lights, no heat, in July and then plant out in August. Then I have to shade them for the remainder of the month and into September otherwise they will bolt. (Another brassica to plant is kohlrabi...great stir fried or slawed. And is fast growing) I plant all you mentioned and I also do a dense planting of beets for their greens only to stir fry or add to soups. I loved your chat because it's nice to hear what others are doing and for your sharing this information that others may not know. Much of my acquaintances and some family think I am crazy and that it is too much work. But I love the challenge, it gets me outside and we are healthier for it. Blessings.

I try bringing it indoor one winter and still it did not survive. Buying from the farmer markets ready planted seedlings becomes very expensive. I tried developing from seeds, no success. In addition, I have a tough time keeping thyme alive. They keep dying. I put in sunny shaded area and still not much luck! I keep having to buy more.

Thyme and rosemary can take a month to sprout from seed. Basil is an annual so unless you're growing holy basil or have a magic thumb it doesn't live long even in gentle climate rare-to-frost-four-seasons growing areas. However, it is easy to grow your own basil seed. I can't help you with rosemary or English thyme -they are effortless perennials on the Pacific coast (at least from Mendocino County (and probably as far north as coastal BC if you are anywhere near a "banana belt") to the Mexican border.

It is my first year trying a fall garden too. I've always just bought a few tomato plants in the spring and a few other things and just let them do their thing and that was the extent of my gardening. This year I'm trying to be more proactive in the garden and trying new things too. I think for my fall garden itll mainly just be greens, radishes, and beans. But I'm going to try replanting potatoes and carrots and see if they can produce before winter.

In case it went I in one way and out the other, she hit the nail on the head when she said that if the soil is healthy there won't be a pest problem. That also solves the weed problem. No need for weed killers and fertilizers etc. If the soil is healthy!

We only moved onto our new garden patch in South of France in June; so have been looking to grow late! It is now early September and I planted loads of stuff you have mentioned by July/August. I use hens for fertility moving the dome around on the beds - I have five beds of permaculture - with the chooks still on bed six - having fun and a bit of hard work lots of roots in the new beds! I have tried not to dig too much though. I did not know what mesclun was, but planted it as saw in the shop so glad you mentioned this. Ready to plant some onions peas and beans soon. I am the only one around here who is planting anything!! They are saying it's the end of the season; just tomatoes and peppers grown mainly - no greens!! I also have lots of Chinese leaf. The lettuce never took off though! I did get some courgettes but a bit late for them. Rocket has been doing well and radish.

I’m at 6,500 ft in colorado and i grow something year round! I do have covers and sometimes i double cover for a few extra degrees of protection. But i had bok choy last year that did great even in the below zero temps! I just put in more lettuce, and chard and carrots. I’m starting cabbages to take the space of the peppers and tomatoes when they come out around the beginning of october. I agree - seeds are cheap! Just try and see what happens! You guys are great! Thank you for all that you share!

I live in Kansas. Fall planting depends on the year almost more than the last frost date. It's November. This year its still 50s at night. There are some years we have snow in the middle of October. The amount of acorns is a good indicator for your specific area. There were not many at all this year. Few years ago the trees were loaded and we had a long "early" winter that lasted into April. Funny thing is robins tend to appear in time for three more snow storms. Things warm up for spring about a month after the last one

@sheilacox7563 жыл бұрын
Note from Edmonton, Alberta, which is, of course, pretty far North. I saved the seeds from a tomato called Star Fire. It’s a resilient little prairie tomato that continues to produce right up to-and sometimes even past- the first frost. I can’t really plant them in August, but wow, are they ever tasty and long lasting.

Turnips are delicious if you know how to cook them.. one recipe is to have them boiled after you cut the head off and make few cuts in them with date syrup until it's cooked.. it will be some how sweet then you either eat them as it is or you can add salt to them then eat.. very delicious.. another recipe is to fry stir onion then add a turnip to it either by slicing them or cut them in 1" cubes then add tomato sauce, black pepper, and salt.. can be eaten with rice.. so good.. enjoy

If you are on keto, turnips are lower in carbs than potato. I put them in soups and stews. They take twice as long to cook as potato (20 minutes) turnips (40 minutes). They are also good fried with onion (green onion if you are keto) and you can plant the bottom of green onions over and over again for a constant supply. Also, when the SHTF you can eat the turnip greens as a salad and the tuber like "potatoes".

Im experimenting this year with corn. Got it in the ground few weeks ago and its doing great. Our summers here get so hot we can never get them to harvest. Our first frost date isn't till November 10th so im very hopeful to get a harvest of corn. Other than that ive got some more experimental stuff going like a quick variety of watermelon, pumpkin, squash, cucumbers. Its still to hot I think for planting my broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts but those will be going in within a week or so. Ill be planting my root veggies closer to the end of the month because they dont tend to handle our heat well. Next 10 days we are expecting to be in the 90s or higher here.
