I like hearing your honest opinion. I also like hearing about greens that I have never even considered. My husband is an excellent cook, so if I can provide him with some good greens, it makes us all happy.

Lovely overview - and good to hear your favorites! I am a big fan of mâche and claytonia - I garden in Oregon 8b and winter greens do well here. I have a number of these - now want the red dandelion (Chicory)! I just started Austrian field peas and cover crop broad beans for both fixing nitrogen AND winter greens!

Another great video, I like showcasing winter growing methods and greens and other crops that can take the cold. As mentioned in the video food sovereignty is critical, however keep in mind Johnny’s has around 40 varieties of lettuces that have patents on them, either the traits or the whole variety. In my view you can’t have food sovereignty without seed sovereignty, in those cases where you grow a patented variety you can be litigated for saving seed, in other words you are at the mercy of the company that holds the patent. For this reason I won’t buy from Johnny’s or others that sell patented seeds, if you choose to buy from them avoid the patented varieties, this sends a message that you care about open source seeds. Some growers may not. Care, but I sure do. If a company decides to drop a variety you are also out of luck especially if it had a patent on it. That aside this video is important, just keep in mind all the variables with seed too. Really like the walk through videos and the interview format is good for a balance.

johnnys is amazing. even for the flowers. my favorite seeds company even if we pay the exchange. worth it!

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

I feel the same about saladmixes. I grow heads and harvest several times. Much better when you have people harvesingfor the kitchen straight from the field

[@ardenthebibliophile]

I actually really like the lighter yellow/green varieties to use as a contrasting color in salads. I'm not saying grow a ton, but it can be really useful to highlight just how deep green the rest of your produce is!

[@trumpetingangel]

So helpful and thorough! I watch many different farmers and growers on KZbin. Especially on topics like this, it would be so helpful (for Americans!) if you could publish your USDA growing zone, or in lieu of that, your typical first frost and freeze dates. It's extra work, but I find myself guessing how close your conditions are to mine. My guess is Quebec, but even in NY state we cover a lot of zones! Thanks! Wonderful video!

Good info. Here on the coast of NL our climate is maritime and winter temps rarely dip down below -10. Winter growing is fine except for the low light in late fall / early spring when we get ALOT of cloudy days...winters are usually really clear with lots of bluebird days. Issue I've run into with the greenhouses is if I don't freeze them out the bug pressure gets out of control. I've been putting the chickens in as part of a rotational plan to keep things balanced with insects and nitrogen. Salad mix is soo 2010 :) #coastalorganic

[@ourhomesteadjourney1775]

JMF- how are you harvesting the Claytonia and mache? Are you using the quick cut greens harvester or something else? I’d be afraid the greens harvester would pick up too much dirt as it’s so low to the ground.

[@danphillips4590]

Yum!!!

[@partidaportet27]

Lots of good stuff here.. The purpling I understand relates to phosphorus. As energy levels drop, the microbes that mobilise P are sleepy. So the plant, sensing the lowering of availability, scavenges all that it can..it's so unstable so the plant converts it to Anthocyanin, ergo the red and increased anti oxidant for us. The Chinese cabbage. Have you tried a chamomile tea to see if you motivate better Sulfur mobilisation. Again another thing to suffer in the cold and low light. Also N might slow and so perhaps a higher N rate in the base material? Dandelion is a great plant. We have both the red one, camarojas or the green one dente del lion. Also winter purslane is super and lambs lettuce too. The plant with mildew, perhaps you might try to add some horsetail to your compost base. Just a thought reference silica and PM. As it's a test area, may be you might see how this works out before abandoning the plants you find less impressive. We have been using a liquid chitin product as a foliar about two weeks before the first frost. Haven't had to do it yet this year but it seems to help many plants resist the cold better. Anyway thanks always

I learn all of that with Eliot Coleman zone 5 in Maine is a good teacher to 40 years experiences

[@karenrowell1151]

Hi what type ground cover, tarp, do you use and where is best to purchase them. Oh, I am from Alabama and inspired by your beffinga and where you have gotten to in life with hard word, commitment and perseverance.

[@louishesketh2482]

Perfect timing. Thanks for the content. Appreciate it.

[@gardennonsense]

I am a zone 5 short growing season Will these hardy plants bolt in the summer? Or are they Hardy for the winter?.😊 I'm wondering which ones I can use both summer and winter. Thank you. Your videos are inspirational and information. I appreciate you and 💚🐢💚 your whole crew. #denverlove Colorado

[@melissaschloneger9902]

The thinner the leaf, the more they tend to bolt in the heat…think lettuce, arugula, cilantro. They dont mind the cold but will not do as well as the thicker leaves like kale and spinach. Kale seems to tolerate heat and cold. Spinach hates the heat and is not a good summer crop unless you have shade cover or have lower temps in general

[@damanifesto]

Just received the winter growing book (I'm in Michigan), seems like a great read so far. Question: do those drip irrigation lines terminate in the bed, or do they feed into some kind of return pipe?

[@karenrowell1151]

How do I get those ground covers to suppress weeds in fall? Where? What are they called? Tarps?

[@TheMarketGardeners]

They're called silage tarps!

[@anniewildmush1284]

mizuna.. giant of italy.. sum choy...bokchoy jpense cest mes preferés a date meme pour en jardin. je recolte encore 22 nov et jai rien couvert encore :-)

[@twofathoms1]

Please list the name of the plants that you recommend in this video.

[@swathig5821]

I’m not able to figure out yet how to harvest green through winter. Do I harvest all the leaves that’s ready or harvest how many ever bunches I need for that weekend. Because if I harvest everything that’s ready, then next week they might not grow more leaves especially during November through February

[@spoolsandbobbins]

We pick only the big leaves on outside, then when temps rise a bit through winter and days get longer they’ll grow a little and pick up speed come spring.

[@karinepotvin4095]

What’s your humidity level Not starting the heater till later.

[@janew5351]

So which head lettuce varieties grow well i low light and cool weather?

[@RRYANWATT]

How can you afford to have such big walkways out of production in an expensive tunnel like that? PS keep up the good work 😊👌

[@TheMarketGardeners]

The greenhouse is used every week for tours of guests at the restaurant, so this greenhouse is a bit different from your usual market garden greenhouse!
