I was born in Montebello, CA, and lived in South El Monte for the better part of my life. I miss California, but my husband and I are now living in Texas. Boy do I miss the San Gabriel Valley dirt. Loved watching your video even though it doesn’t apply to me in the area in which I live now. Thank you, and the best to you as you tend your garden.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Nice reading your heartfelt comment, thank you! Hope Texas gave you a good home, and you are able to garden there, and build something nice for your family. My good friend just moved to Texas from Oakland, East Bay. She loves it there

[@brianwall2182]

Thank you for this! My summer garden was an utter failure, and I'm hoping the fall/winter garden can redeem it. I'll definitely be referring back to this video as I prepare for winter in the CA Central Valley.

[@grandmotherstales966]

Good luck planting! Never give up, keep observing and learning. Plants will pay back generously when you get it right!

[@victoriaoshea4865]

Very helpful!!!

Glad it was helpful!

Cool video! I live in Union City, and I am getting obsessed with trying to turn my tiny townhouse patio into an edible forest :)

[@AuthenticGardening]

That's a good obsession, IMO

[@mphil8433]

We make dal and rotis with methi/fenugreek.Also dried fenugreek is used as a flavoring in chana masala,paneer(Indian cottage cheese) dishes and meat dishes.

[@AuthenticGardening]

I enjoy so much your video 👌 I’m starting my garden I live in California and this video will help me a lot thanks.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Excellent! Starting a garden is starting on an adventure!

[@victoriaoshea4865]

Thank you!!

[@rolanddewgard]

Great video! I just moved to the area and learned a lot. Loved the presenter; she was so knowledgeable and seems like a kind heart 🙂

[@AuthenticGardening]

Welcome, and if you are anywhere near El Sobrante, Bay Area, you can visit the farm and enjoy the peaceful setting, Susan's cheerful presence and knowlegable advice in person.

[@rolanddewgard]

@@AuthenticGardening We are in Davis, so not too far! Would love to come visit in the spring. Happy Holidays!

[@AuthenticGardening]

@@rolanddewgard Hope you find your way to the farm. If you will, say hello to Susan. She is a great teacher! I just try to capture her abundant knowledge for us to learn

[@tiffanywilkerson5569]

Fenugreek really helped me get my milk in after 12 days of no milk! Thank you, I've never grown it though and I think I will now

[@AuthenticGardening]

Thank you for contributing this precious info based on your very personal experience, and good luck growing!

Absolutely love your video and you explain to each one so well and the denefits they provide.....

[@AuthenticGardening]

this video is part of my Cloverfield Farm playlist, where I went to this particular farm to film Susan, the owner of Cloverfield, who has lots of knowledge and experience with plants and gardening. So we have to give credits to her - I was just asking questions, filming, editing and maintaining the channel and the playlist. I have other videos where I myself am on camera talking about plants and showing other gardens.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Glad you found the video useful

[@Kunjaatta1]

Yay! Methi/Fenugreek plant ! If you are an Indian, you would know :) It's a staple in our diet ! We use fenugreek seeds, powder and leaves for cooking !

[@AuthenticGardening]

Indian culture has a very rich culinary, dietery and medicinal (Aurvedic) traditions - I'm glad it trickles to the West, plant by plant, dish by dish.

[@donnamoon8769]

great garden thanks

[@connorgoldy7706]

This was awesome thank you! Beautiful garden as well : )

[@AuthenticGardening]

Good luck planting and growing!

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

You have a beautiful garden I really enjoyed watching thank you for sharing I’m new to your channel have a blessed day

[@AuthenticGardening]

It's Susan's garden, she is the magician, and I hide behind the camera and put the video together. Glad you enjoyed watching

[@rivka1392]

Thank you, very informative!

[@Cooper43642]

Wow. I'm so inspired by your garden. I'm trying at 4,135 elevation in San Diego but this is a crazy warm winter. I'm even going to try tropicals for fun.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Variety is often a key to a successful garden! Here is the link to our video about growing ginger and turmeric here in the Bay Area. We also successfully grow it in zone 9a NorCal Foothills kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3eQpKKee7CmaJY

[@degacci]

Great video thank you, one of my favorite salads, a middle easter salad which is very healthy is made with fenugreek. You should make it one day since you appreciate the plant so much. Look up “Fattoush Salad” the authentic kind is made with fenugreek as the main ingredient. Romaine lettuce became a substitute because it is more readily available/affordable all year round for restaurants.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Fenugreek salad sounds great - I love trying new things! Thanks for the tip!

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

thanks for this! i love Middle Eastern cuisine!

[@HamCubes]

Fenugreek is the active ingredient in a product I buy from Amazon. It's a thick piece of paper that I suppose is sprayed with extract of fenugreek that you place in your produce bags and bins in the fridge and on the counter. It really works in prolonging the shelf-life of produce! The moment you mentioned fenugreek's maple syrup flavor I immediately recalled where I had encountered it before. I would imagine it wouldn't be difficult to make your own produce preserving sheets if you are growing a crop of fenugreek.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Wow, this is really interesting info... I've never heard of the fenugreek extract being used as a preservative! Thanks!

[@SushyDraws]

I can't really sow anything right now but I have a few winter crops going. Keeping peppers outside right now here would absolutely kill them. That kale stuff survives almost everything!

[@anukerlow791]

[@ritatoma6328]

Where can I find some caper bushes here in California San Diego

[@AuthenticGardening]

Sorry but we can not point you to the right sources. Search online, that's the best advice I can give you. Good luck

[@AuthenticGardening]

I found one site here for grown plants, but there much more for seeds www.plantvine.com/product/capparis-cynophallophora-jamaican-caper/?attribute_pa_size=large#reviews

[@victoriaoshea4865]

HOW DO YOU KEEP THE PESTS AWAY?

[@AuthenticGardening]

That's a very good question! You can ask Susan, the owner of Cloverfield (she is the one talking on camera) directly via Facebook here facebook.com/cloverfieldorganic/

[@brendareed5050]

I’m at 1000 foot elevation in Mendocino county and want to plant heirloom seeds for harvesting produce in Winter to early Spring. I can start the seeds in a greenhouse, but would it be better to direct seed to ground?. I’m also not sure if it’s too late to start the garden, it’s 10/17 as I write this and we finally had our first rain of the season today. The 1st frost is usually around mid November and we don’t have hard frosts here. Any tips are appreciated.

[@AuthenticGardening]

Hi Brenda, it is a little late to saw seeds into the ground. You'd be safer starting in a greenhouse. It also depends on what you want to grow. For example, planting garlic directly into soil is very safe. Peas are toughenough to start in soil. But greenhouse is better for starting greens (salads, bokchoy, kale, broccoli and such), as bugs, slugs, birds and even squirrels will munch on tender seedlings

[@debbie0greer164]

If I am in Sacramento where our weather is more dry and hot; does that make our zones the same still?

[@AuthenticGardening]

The video is shot in El Sobrante, CA, zone 10a. Sac is zone 9b, I beliave. Sac climate is definetly dryer and hotter summers

[@julianescobedo4152]

Got the marijuana growing down, now it's time to do some veggies!!!! 😁💪

[@AuthenticGardening]

you should have a pretty good soil left after growing marijuana. I hope you went organic, so your veggies can be organically grown now. Also, organic soil improves over the years - just keep adding good nutrients to it, worms maybe. Your veggies are going to love it!

[@ninesixteengenetix]

Ne too!!!

[@andrewavila5757]

Real shit. Thats all I know how to grow lol. Now I wanna grow veggies and plant some fruit trees

[@AuthenticGardening]

@@andrewavila5757 you know how to grow one plant - you know how to grow. AND - it is a lifelong learning process. There is always more to learn

[@lorenrenee1]

I need some advise that doesn’t revolve around a frost date that we will never have.

[@AuthenticGardening]

What kind of advice?
