You're so right, Danny. The wet air in the south is freezing at 50 degreesand below for me! I've been in Florida at my sons house for the past 4 months. Up on Lookout Mountain Alabama, the cold is totally different. I can handle the cold at my home up there. I'm getting ready to go back home up there and get ready for spring planting. Start the seeds in doors. We're growing a whole lot of food this next season. 👍

Thank you Mr. Dan for another great porch time message. I live here in south west Michigan on 5 acres & wow, is it cold. Suppose to get down to around 0 degrees tonight with more sub O''s nights ahead. It's amazing that the cold weather crops are surviving in the greenhouse with no heat in there. I do have another layer of 6mil plastic over them & it's working. I can have a salad every day if I want. That just amazes me, but I thank the Lord for it. We had very successful gardens 2 years in a row. My dear wife canned a lot for the two of us. Now, it's just for me. The Lord took her home 10 weeks ago. We both got covid. I survived, but my wonderful wife didn't. Man, does that hurt bad! I know you know what that's like. I'm so glad she is with the Lord & I'm so glad I'll be there also, hopefully soon. Until then, I'll continue to raise what works good here in zone 6b. Hopefully I'll have another successful garden. Do some canning & freeze drying, since I helped & learned from my wife. Raise more chickens & get the eggs. Maybe put up another greenhouse as well. See how long I can survive in this crazy world, that God still controls. Just keep on keeping on until my home going. Going it alone now, yet not alone cause the Lord is with me.. Thanks Danny for all your teaching. I'll continue to learn from you & Wanda. Praying 🙏 for you always. Ed.

[@susanschneider-baker49]

I grew up in Cleveland, OH and would often visit relatives on the other side of the lake in London, Ontario, Canada just 80-100 miles across Lake Erie. The difference between their Cold & our Cold was interesting because it was the same temperature but different in the depth of the feel of the Cold. My father explained that in Canada your skin freezes faster and traps your warmth inside, so you don't need as much clothes in Canada. I believed him and packed less clothes for the trip, so there was always plenty of room in the car. I still borrowed winter wear from my cousins in Canada while they ran around in T-shirts. LOL

Getting EMP for the homesteader is an excellent idea. Grow zones and selecting the correct plants for your area is critical. People don't understand the different length of time it takes to grow out certain types of crops. Choosing the correct harvest grow out time or choosing something that is not growable due to temperature and weather is definitely a given. Some people don't realize also that sometimes it takes two or three years saving seed to acclimate certain plants to your area. Great advice Danny.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

I'm from North Carolina and 35% humidity would dry up a pond here in August! Humidity is everything here in the South.

[@jeanproctor987]

Yes, Danny, exactly right concerning planting crops with a range of temperatures tolerated. The Grand Solar Minimum is real, planned into the cycles of the sun from the beginning of Creation. We moved south 4+ years ago when we learned of it. Our farm has several growing zones because of a gradual eastern slope. At the top is the "tropical" garden, where sensitive plants thrive, and at the bottom of the slope, where frost settles, our apples and peaches love the extra chill hours. Corn: Painted Mountain, developed for cold mountain climates but does well in southern Georgia. Potatoes north or south: Caribe. Onions: pay attention to day length! May God give us all clear sight and discernment as we choose what to plant where He's planted us.

[@sheila219]

Why onions and day length? I'm in upstate SC never had success w onions. Might need ck those pot out. I've never had luck w any pot. It must be operator error. I'm bound to grow at least one this yr.

[@jeanproctor987]

@@sheila219 Some onion day length maps put upstate SC in the intermediate day group, while others put it in the short day group. You might want to try one or two varieties of each group (intermediate and short day) to see which grows best. I learned from the Deep South Homestead folk (from onion plants) and Old Alabama gardener (from seed) how to grow BIG onions in the South, and it seems like the fall-seeded onions grow biggest the next spring for me. Onion seed rarely lasts more than a year, maybe two, before it loses ability to germinate, so just buy what you need for the year. Or let 10 plants of one variety go to seed, if you want to save your own.

Thank you, Danny. Very wise words this morning. I am fighting nature in this neglected inherited east Texas homestead. I can see acres of 15 year old trees that used to be hay fields. The house only needs minor interior work now. I fenced goat pastures, have 2 so far, will repair fence of 15 acre hay field for 2 cows and a bull. Expanding and repairing chicken coop to include rabbits. Will move them in tractors. I want to feed these animals off the land, feed shortages coming. Tough to do alone and old. Son and family may come and help. Wish I had been doing this sooner, I'd be wiser. Found 4 springs on property flowing to creek, don't know what to do with them. Costs are delaying everything, but it will get done. Take care, back to work. GOD BLESS GOD SPEED GOD WINS.

I remember going to providence in the summer from Florida. Got off the plane and was dressed for an event...i was impressed that it felt so nice...like 70 degrees. Makeup and hair not falling and melting. My friends said youve come during a heatwave(1997). I laughed..i said 70 is a heatwave?? They said its 86. I said you'll never make it in the South.

Good morning Danny. I am just planning my garden now. Zone 6 so I've got a couple of weeks till I start seedlings. Have a Blessed day.

[@PerilousXPrep]

We are zone 6 too! What are you planning for your garden if I may ask? 😊

[@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185]

Zone 6 in Ozarks here! Hello family! I just started kale and arugula starts indoors, and will eat them until they can go in the ground. Started indoor radish also and a word on radish. It is an excellent cover crop outside -- worms love the old plants

[@janetwethepeople9390]

I'm in 6a. You can start broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts inside. Spring has changed. If you wait to late to get in ground they won't make it.

[@sharonparker2262]

Kale, collards, onions and leeks, chard for now, then 1st week of Feb broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage.

[@robharrop8929]

Good morning. Excellent video. I believe that people should be planning how to ration what they have now or at least what a person uses most. I grew up with no power and running water. We had a generator that we used only when we needed to (like an hour per day). Communication was a C.B. radio. Lighting was oil lamps and gas lamps and heat was wood heat. Entertainment was card games like cribbage. We STILL had to go to town once per month for nuts, bolts, salt sugar, coffee, etc. We grew root crops almost exclusively, except for tomatoes and peas. We always overplanted by at least 40% due to critters and bugs and birds. I raised rabbits and fed them alfalfa and clover that I harvested myself. The point is, I don't think that existence is possible anymore. I remember my dad's shock at the OPEC crisis in 1973 when fuel tripled overnight. I also remember his shock when a bureaucrat showed up to inspect the outhouse- this was in the seventies. We used to buy kerosene by the 45 gallon drum. You can't buy it by the drum now because of new regulations (at least in my area). We have to have a permit for chickens and feed (see where I' going here?). Nowadays most us have been DRIVEN to dependency on ever larger integrated suppliers and by regulatory structure. I completely agree with your assessment that we are going to experience grid failure soon (I mean this winter). The stars are too aligned for this kind of event not to occur. I amazed that you can grow pineapples. That means that you can grow ginger as well. Handy plant to have for medicine. Have a nice day.

[@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185]

Love your story-- thank you for sharing it. The beaurocracy is outrageous. I live under the radar as best as I can but big brother sees and hears all. I would relish a grid down, if it interrupted their grid too. Like that'll happen....

[@farmerwayne1404]

Agree, Danny! Grow and eat what does best in "your" area. Stick to staples such as, cabbage, potatoes, corn, legumes, herbs, allium, squash, wheat, ect. And as much perennial plants and fruit. You'll be healthy and most likely survive.....GD Bless!

[@farmerwayne1404]

You are right about the cold. I was born and raised in Southern California. Moved to Colorado, then to Central Wisconsin, where I live now. We went to San Diego some years ago, to see our son graduate from Marine Corp bootcamp. We just about froze to death! Even though it was in the 60's and we Northerners should have been sweating, we were scrambling for our coats! Didn't bother me when I was a kid, but now I think it would. People don't realize there are different kinds of cold.

Yes I am dealing with that. my grandson thinks us old people are nuts for putting things away. His terms I’ll deal with it if it happens. After all I have plenty for him. So my question to him was do you think we will do it all. He said he expected to have to work. He doesn’t even get the concept of things to come. Neither does my daughter in law. I’m just paranoid. After all we can’t change it. I’m done trying. My granddaughters are to young to understand. So I teach them what they will need to know. Things I don’t know I have books on. They are learning to knit. I have showed them how to can something’s not the whole process but some of the things I do. The blue will tell them if I can’t show them. My books are well worn so I had one lamented and am working on the other. They are my favorites. Thank you and Miss Wanda for your insight

But we are happier now then when he was working...we love our homestead, and living off the land here. I just found jelly mushrooms oh my word I love foraging for what God gave us. and the maple syrup is flowing at times via the extremes cold -18F and if it get to 24 we're in t-shirts tropical heat wave.

Not only is there concern of another country EMPing us, there is also a concern about an EMP like event coming from the sun simular or more powerful than the Carrington event of 1859. According to some experts, the sun goes through cycles and a upper level X flare or greater from the sun is due.

Hi Danny, Hello from Rochester NY.. I was born on Keesler Air Force base, Biloxi Mississippi, you're only a few months older than I am. I agree with everything you're saying about temperature and humidity. Most people have no clue of real knowledge because they accept what they are told by America's slave masters. I was told 10 years ago by an Oncologist that if I did everything he was going to tell me that he could get me upto 4 more years of life, with a little luck. I walked out of his office ticked off. I've done almost nothing in the past 10 years recommended, 3 times I've been at stage 4 and given only months to live and 3 times I've beaten cancer back into submission using knowledge right out of the Bible and some common sense. I'm glad to see you healthy and still taking a stand for a free America under the 1 true God. May YHWH bless you with many more years!!! Pastor Steve, formally known to you as sfetterly.

Hello my friend. We were thinking about you earlier this week. Amen and Praise God for your healing.

[@simplethymes8789]

I've learned exactly what your telling everyone today. Coming from Mi to Florida I've turned to tropical plants as main crops and northern as fun foods but not for large harvest such as Pigeon peas replaced telephone peas and perrinial spinach replaced northern type spinach as main crops. I'm harvesting right now daily from my tropical varieties far more than from others. Also for our area huglekulture beds way out produce in ground growing for us. God is teaching,guiding,leading us and will as we seek him. So refreshing Danny to tune into you and Wanda as you both seek God and grow and share. Thank you! God bless and keep you safe and may he inspire your work on the EMP design equipment!

[@FloridaGirl-]

I’m doing the same! Have huglekulture beds too. Am now making biochar and charging it, also making squash and melon pits like the indians use to and working on soil. Planted some seminoles. Watch David the good on you tube. he’s comes from FL originally. He is GREAT for our sandy soil down here! I’m Originally from MI too 🤣. Had a greenhouse acres etc. And no problem growing there! But finally, with heavy composting and experimenting. And yes, changing veggies. I’m having success down here! Yay🥳 Thank God!! 🙏

[@simplethymes8789]

@@FloridaGirl- YES!! I follow him and am using some of his methods. I've been growing Seminole pumpkins for about 5 years now,lol, it grew 160' long up on top of the roof of our house! I get about 5 harvests a year from it. We just cut it back as we reworked that area of our kitchen garden area adding tea plants near the area of the olive tree. My husband got tired of tripping over it and the kids were saying enough! It's on year 3 for this one plant! This plant gives me only 5 pumpkins each time but then it restarts so we get harvest after harvest from it. I have not tried the squash and melon pits, a wonderful idea! Yes to biochar, just did that to all the bed's last fall. My ducks just prepared another new garden area for me that will become a new fodder food area for the chickens this spring and then an extended garden area for next fall/winter gardens. I'm shocked that asparagus grows really well here! Adding many more plants to that companion planted with strawberries in pots Malabar spinach growing up bamboo teepees. Nematodes have been an issue on and off. We sprayed the mole cricket nematode organic method, very expensive so we also researched and found out about marigolds after they grow and are tilled but then I have seen recently Danny is growing mustard for the same and I have far more mustard seed I collected from our garden then marigold seeds so I'm planting an area of mustard after this years lettuce season is over in the kitchen garden. Finally getting a good amount of worm poo to also add to the gardens. Been doing the chop and drop method and leaf mold and are very happy with the results. In our new duck pen area, I'm planting banana trees, elderberry,chaya, moringa for shade and fodder food. I'm really glad Danny spoke about growing for your climate because learning new climates, food sources, harvest size as the result has been a huge asset to our family. Trying to,"adapt" food to a southern climate from a northern jut does not work for a large harvest. I have my kitchen garden to "play" with my northern varieties but I have been taking classes on Tropical gardening and it's made a huge difference! Danny hit on that today as well and People need to take his wisdom and get the tropical starts and seeds for our area going because most take a while to grow out as well as get used to texture differences in like pigeon peas to compare to say Alaskan peas or Abraham or telephone varieties of peas and the difference of regular spinach to Ethiopean, perennial, or Egyptian leaf texture. I have also found have auto-immune that my body needed time to adjust to the new foods and digesting them.

@@carlprice64 Yes, have several of his books and watch him as well. Tried the Grocery row garden method he was and is doing. Love chop and drop, and making biochar. But for us by far, especially when I go down with my heart or backHuglekulture beds have been huge benefit for us. Never have to water them and they self fertilize after the first year for up to 20 years. My first huglekulture beds are about 6 years old now and I will add more logs this year as I only had 4'' to 6'' when I first made these and with all our heat and water I needed the base to be larger logs but we have been blessed by those beds. They went the last 4 years with a wonderful harvest of sweet potatoes, moringa,hibiscus-roselle, stevia, and elderberry.
