December Garden Tour 2023

[@GmamaGrowz]

Your kale is beautiful along with the rest of your greens 💚 I had no idea about the elephant garlic taking so long to produce since I didn't have any luck growing them. I like the portable greenhouse on your fig and excited to see your new build. TFS!

[@growingoutthebox]

Morning Gmama. 🫵🏽just gave me a new shot about the garlic. This is why I love the term “we grow together”…. I share and through your comments, you tell me what interests you most. I listen 👂. Have a great day.

[@GmamaGrowz]

Oh my goodness, your garden is beautiful. Thanks for the awesome video. We appreciate all the information you share with us.

[@growingoutthebox]

We grow together.... You all ask the questions and I simply make video replies. One of the reasons I answer all my messages. Thank you for engaging.

[@upgrayeddnotsure9994]

Look at that scarlet kale wow.

[@growingoutthebox]

Yeah, I love that color. You almost don't want to eat them they are so pretty. Click that notification bell if you would please. 😁

[@LashusJourney]

Wow, your garden is beautiful in those freezing temperatures

[@growingoutthebox]

LOL.... 😁My wife say I'm turning into a nerd. I'm not even going to lie.... I really didn't want to come out and see the garden because I just knew the season would be over. It's my compost and building the soil biology.

[@lind5180]

Those plants have a desire to thrive and survive through your knowledge and TLC.. so beautiful. Nutritious.

[@growingoutthebox]

My Bok choy is bolting because of the drops at night. We are getting down to the 30's at night and low 50's during the days but everything is still growing. I wish I had planted more broccoli. I'm planting 4 different verities of broccoli for spring. Thanks for commenting.

[@lind5180]

@growingoutthebox Well, like you've said, you learn as you grow, and now you know more broccoli. This food you grow with your hands is your medicine. I'm tired at 69, but these last two weeks are my last, and I retire. I will start a garden come spring, and it will be in the planning until then . Thank you for what you share with us. You are an encouragement to me.

[@growingoutthebox]

That is how we grow together and honestly a big part of why I do this. I'm learning every day and I just want to share with the hopes that I have made someone elses journey a little less burdensome@@lind5180

I love it! That is how I feel about my garden. I do not want to be taking plants in and out of my home.

[@growingoutthebox]

Hey neighbor. 🤗I want to thank you again for that video "To mention or not to mention". Sometimes it takes that outside voice to set course. Finding that balance of what's right and what's in your best interest requires additional effort. I like to mention but I will only if we align. That's why I shared your video. You may want to consider splitting your channel Faith. Cooking or gardening. Personally, I don't have an interest in cooking so when you post those that content I have to admit I don't watch. I'll watch gardening videos sometimes just because. I also have a channel thatI haven't posted to in over a year about my cars. When I separated my gardening the gardening took off. Just a lil food for Faith. 🙏🏽

Yes Ma'am..... Bring a cup and a half of water to a boil and drop a half cup of diced radish and a diced up fingertip of ginger for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add a whole lemon and raw honey to your liking. True story.... That is why I started gardening. I wanted to grow my own. 2020 I got really sick for the 1st time in my life. I was on montelukast, symbicort and albuterol several times a day. I haven't needed any of it in over a year half. I no longer have low oxygen in my blood. #radish.... The combo of this drink....

[@growingoutthebox]

LOL. Yes, radish in my tea. radish is one of the most overlooked beneficial plants that we can grow. 1/2 cup of radish, finger tip of ginger diced into dime size. Bring a 1-1/2 cup of water to a boil and drop the radius and ginger in. Add a top and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and add a whole lemon and your liking of raw honey. My family ask for it whenever they feel like they are coming down with something.

They are all red color now. Wondering if i should water them and cover them up if it snows later on. Thanks❤😊 got get those greenhouses. Do i buy them on line? Thanks again.

[@growingoutthebox]

I'm working on getting a discount code for the mini greenhouse. I'll put it in the pinned comment. As far as the blueberries that need the cold to produce berries next season. The only time I cover them is if they are flowering which mine are doing right now but I haven't covered them so far. The red is normal. As far as the benefits of radish....So many I have to point you to webMD. They are like a maintenance program. I boil a half cup of radish and 1 finger tip of ginger for 10 minute in a cup and a half of water. Add a whole lemon and honey to your liking after removing from heat. Try that any time you aren't feel your best. www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-radish

Your garden is absolutely beautiful. Layout about all. Are you mowing in between the beds in warmer weather? One thing I find amazing is that you don't have anything under or around the raised beds, just regular old yard.

[@growingoutthebox]

Yes and yes. I use a push mower. That's tedious exercise. lol. I try to grow organically and to build a healthy ecosystem we need diversity. The more roots in the soil the greater diversity. I enjoy walking barefoot in the garden. Spiritual grounding. When everything is trimmed up and the grass is cut I sit in my rocking chair and and get lost in time know that you are connected to something far greater. That's spiritual grounding for me.

I bet the radishes have the save sting effect as ginger. I learned how to make homemade ginger ale a few days ago. Next on my agenda is radish tea. 😊 Thanks for sharing!

LOL.... The radish tea stinks and does not taste the best but it does the job of keeping you out of the DRs office. Bring a cup and half of water to a boil.

At what temp do u have to call it quits for the year?

LOL.... I don't! I want to be able to grow year round so I experiment with different growing techniques. I believe the greatest changes came for the better when I started focussing on growing the soil biology. I have invested in a microscope to see what is growing in the soil and try to compensate for whatever is needed. Believe it or not.... Everything is in the compost!

[@RobinsonOrganicProduce-lz5bo]

Nice garden. I started a market style garden in my front yard beginning of this year. How do i incorporate the earthworms into the garden?

[@growingoutthebox]

You can purchase some when it warms up but for now you can start prepping the beds with lots of organic material. Order a coffee bean 🫘 grinder. I think I paid $8 for the one I have. When ever you add your plants mix in maybe a teaspoon per plant. You can also mix it into your soil but I am trying to get away from turning my soil. It disturbs the fungal growth. Still tweaking the system but I am very pleased with the results so far. Make sure you click the notification bell because I will be posting a video about how to use eggshells in the garden.

I personally like raised beds because you can customize your soil for whatever plants you are growing and it just looks pretty. Bringing the inside to the garden decor.

Yes we did get down to freezing . I lost my Thai pepper but Carolina Reaper is still standing with some green peppers

[@growingoutthebox]

All my peppers are done for the year. what zone are you in?

[@Colette-x6h]

I’m in SC I used to live in Augusta (40yrsago) I wasn’t thinking about gardening then😂

[@growingoutthebox]

Food prices are insane. Good exercise and better produce!

[@tonydejoseph]

[@growingoutthebox]

@@growingoutthebox I'm really sorry, I got linked to this video from the short you posted about starting your plants in cups and training their roots with sand on the bottom and drainage holes just above the sand line, I was hoping it was in this video but I think I'm just confused now, seemed like a great tip and I'd like to try that because I have bottom watering sub-irrigated beds, will subscribe and like

@@tonydejoseph plants do very well in the system. I will do a quick video on details. Lots of people have been asking about it. Thanks

Looking GREAT Unc! I'm most impressed with those dinosaur kales tho... I'm starting mine over in a couple months. After 2 years of growing em (2k21 we had that freak freeze here in Texas that wiped em out, then 2 days it dropped down to 0° last year and wiped em out again) I've found they're not as cold hardy as other kales/collards, so this next round I start with em i know what, how, and when to do with em lol 💪🏾

It's all about learning what grows well in your garden. You make the adjustments to better prepare yourself for the next season. Some people brag about growing 30 different types of tomatoes. I grow 3 types that have me with tomatoes even up until now because I grow what grows best in my garden and not worry about what everyone else is growing. We learn even from the things that don't go as planned. make adjustments and move forward.

Do all beds have the same soil and mulch ? Do you have a video on starting your beds? Watching from Miami

[@growingoutthebox]

You have to keep feeding the soil lots of organic matter. You will need less and less fertilizer. The mulch helps the microbes thrive. The population drops when the soil dries out.

Just ent into the cold room in back of my garage. The 2 large white potatoes that i was telling you they had eye growing out of them. Now the eye or buds have grown 2 in high. Wondering if i should go on ahead and put them in a grow pot and leave in the garage or cold room whic is at 65 degrees all year around.🤔 Any feedback ? Thanks!

[@growingoutthebox]

Hey there. Sounds like the temperature is ideal as potatoes love the cool weather. Lighting would be needed for photosynthesis. Tubers won’t form without light.
